Dynamic Signal EngineDynamic Signal Engine
The Dynamic Signal Engine is a powerful and versatile indicator, designed to help traders make informed decisions by combining trend analysis with key support and resistance levels. This tool is inspired by the Linear Regression Oscillator , which laid the foundation for this enhanced implementation. By building on the original concept, this script introduces additional features, customization, and integration with dynamic trading strategies to suit diverse trading styles.
Key Features
Inspiration and Foundation
This indicator draws inspiration from the Linear Regression Oscillator , leveraging its robust trend detection capabilities while adding custom enhancements for broader functionality and user adaptability.
Trading Style Customization
Adaptable for Scalping, Intraday, and Swing Trading with dynamic parameter adjustments for each style.
User-defined inputs for thresholds, lookback periods, and visualization options provide further control.
Enhanced Linear Regression Oscillator (LRO)
A refined implementation of the LRO calculates deviations from a regression line, normalized for improved trend detection.
Identifies bullish and bearish crossovers with added alerts and visual markers.
Includes proximity alerts for critical thresholds to help traders anticipate key market movements.
Dynamic Support and Resistance Integration
Incorporates ENIGMA Signal Logic to identify swing highs and lows, dynamically marking them as fractal support and resistance levels.
When a sell signal from ENIGMA is generated, traders can choose to sell immediately or use the low of the previous candle as the entry point. Similarly, for a buy signal, traders can buy immediately or use the high of the previous candle for entry. These signals are visually indicated by a green triangle for buy signals, ensuring clear and actionable insights.
Advanced Visualization
Displays key levels with customizable horizontal lines (solid, dashed, or dotted) and labels for clarity.
Candle colours and mini arrows highlight trends and potential trading opportunities.
Real-Time Alerts
Alerts for LRO threshold crossings and swing-level breaches keep you updated without the need for constant monitoring.
Optimized for Usability
Designed to keep charts clean by limiting displayed trades and signals to recent activity.
Adjustable parameters ensure flexibility and a user-friendly experience.
How It Works
Trend Detection with Enhanced LRO
The indicator builds on the Linear Regression Oscillator , calculating oscillations of price movements and normalizing them for trend analysis. Crossovers and threshold proximity are visualized on the chart and trigger alerts for potential market shifts.
Dynamic Support and Resistance Levels
The ENIGMA Signal Logic identifies recent swing highs and lows, marking them as key levels. These levels are dynamically updated as new swing points are detected, providing actionable support and resistance zones.
Signal Confirmation
Buy or sell signals are confirmed when:
Price breaches the swing levels.
The LRO aligns with directional bias (e.g., bearish crossover for sell signals).
Signals are further clarified by ENIGMA's green triangle indicators, showing key buy and sell opportunities.
Visualization and Alerts
Signals are displayed using arrows, labelled horizontal lines, and optional candle colours. Alerts notify traders of key events, such as LRO threshold crossings or swing-level breaches.
How to Use
Choose your Trading Style: Scalping, Intraday, or Swing Trading. The indicator adjusts its default settings automatically.
Fine-tune parameters like LRO thresholds, line lengths, and the number of visible trades to suit your preferences.
Observe the chart for signals:
Green arrows and lines indicate buy opportunities.
Red arrows and lines signal sell opportunities.
Use the alert system to stay informed about LRO thresholds and signal confirmations.
Integrate the indicator with your existing trading strategy for better decision-making.

Santa's Secrets | FractalystSanta’s Secrets is a visually engaging trading tool that infuses holiday cheer into your charts. Inspired by the enchanting, mysterious vibes of the holiday season, this indicator overlays price charts with dynamic, multi-colored glitches that sync with market data, delivering a festive and whimsical visual experience.
The indicator brings a magical touch to your charts, featuring characters from classic holiday themes (e.g., Santa, reindeer, snowflakes, gift boxes) to create a fun and festive “glitch effect.” Users can select a theme for their matrix characters, adding a holiday twist to their trading visuals. As the market data moves, these themed characters are randomly picked and displayed on the chart in a colorful cascade.
Underlying Calculations and Logic
1.Character Management:
The indicator uses arrays to manage different sets of holiday-themed characters, such as Santa’s sleigh, snowflakes, and reindeer. These arrays allow dynamic selection and update of characters as the market moves, mimicking a festive glitch effect.
2. Current and Previous States:
Arrays track the current and previous states of characters, ensuring smooth transitions between visual updates. This dual-state management enables the effects to look like a magical, continuous movement, just like Santa’s sleigh cruising through the winter night.
3. Transparency Control:
Transparency levels are controlled through arrays, adjusting opacity to create subtle fading effects or more intense visual appearances. The result is a festive glow that can fade or intensify depending on the market’s volatility.
4. Rain Effect Simulation:
To create the “snowfall” or “glitching lights” effect, the indicator manages arrays that simulate falling characters, like snowflakes or candy canes, continuously updating their position and visibility. As new characters enter the top of the screen, older ones disappear from the bottom, with fading transparency to simulate a seamless flow.
5. Operational Flow:
• Initialization: Arrays initialize the characters and transparency controls, readying the script for smooth and continuous updates during trading.
• Updates: During each cycle, new characters are selected and the old ones shift, with updates in both content and appearance ensuring the matrix effect is visually appealing.
• Rendering: The arrays control how the characters are rendered, ensuring the magical holiday effect stays lively and eye-catching without interrupting the trading flow.
How to Use Santa’s Secrets Indicator
1. Apply the Indicator to Your Charts:
Add the Santa’s Secrets indicator to your chart, activating the holiday-themed visual effect on your selected trading instrument or time frame.
2. Select Your Holiday Theme:
In the settings, choose the holiday theme or character set. Whether it’s Santa’s sleigh, reindeer, snowflakes, or gift boxes, pick the one that brings the most festive cheer to your charts.
3. Choose Your Visual Effect (Snowfall or Glitch Burst):
Select between the “Snowfall” effect, where characters gently drift down the chart like snowflakes, or the “Glitch Burst” effect, where characters explode outward in a burst of holiday cheer, representing bursts of market volatility.
4. Adjust the Color for Holiday Vibes:
Customize the color of the characters to match your chart’s aesthetic or reflect different market conditions. Choose from red for a downtrend, green for an uptrend, or opt for a gradient of colors to capture a true holiday spirit.
5. Fit the Matrix to Your Display:
Adjust the width and height of the matrix display to make sure it fits perfectly with your chart layout. Ensure it doesn’t obscure your view while still providing the holiday-themed magic.
What Makes Santa’s Secrets Indicator Unique?
Holiday Theme Selection:
Santa’s Secrets allows traders to choose from a variety of holiday-themed characters. Whether you prefer the traditional Santa’s sleigh, snowflakes, reindeer, or gift boxes, you can bring the festive spirit into your trading. This personalized touch adds a fun, holiday twist to your charts and keeps you engaged during the festive season.
Dynamic Effects:
Choose between two exciting visual modes – Snowfall Mode or Glitch Burst Mode. The Snowfall Mode brings a gentle, peaceful effect with characters cascading down the chart like snowflakes, while Glitch Burst Mode creates a more intense effect, radiating characters outward in an explosive, holiday-themed display.
Customizable Holiday Colors:
Traders can fully customize the color of the matrix characters to match their trading environment. Whether you want a traditional red and green for a Christmas mood or a blue and white snow effect, Santa’s Secrets allows you to create the perfect holiday atmosphere while you trade.
Universal Display Compatibility:
No matter what screen or device you’re using – whether it’s a large monitor, laptop, or mobile – Santa’s Secrets is fully adjustable to fit your screen size. The holiday effect remains visually striking without compromising the integrity of your chart data.
Wishing you a happy year filled with success, growth, and profitable trades.🎅🎁
Let's kick off the new year strong with Santa's Secrets! 🚀🎄
Watchlist & Symbols Distribution [Daveatt]TLDR;
I got bored so I just coded the TradingView watchlist interface in Pinescript :)
TLDR 2:
Sharing it open-source what took me 1 full day to code - haven't coded in Pinescript in a long time, so I'm a bit slow for now :)
█ OVERVIEW
This script offers a comprehensive market analysis tool inspired by TradingView's native watchlist interface features.
It combines an interactive watchlist with powerful distribution visualization capabilities and a performance comparison panel.
The script was developed with a focus on providing multiple visualization methods while working within PineScript's limitations.
█ DEVELOPMENT BACKGROUND
The pie chart implementation was greatly inspired by the ( "Crypto Map Dashboard" script / )
adapting its circular visualization technique to create dynamic distribution charts. However, due to PineScript's 500-line limitation per script, I had to optimize the code to allow users to switch between pie chart analysis and performance comparison modes rather than displaying both simultaneously.
█ SETUP AND DISPLAY
For optimal visualization, users need to adjust the chart's display settings manually.
This involves:
Expanding the indicator window vertically to accommodate both the watchlist and graphical elements
Adjusting the Y-axis scale by dragging it to ensure proper spacing for the comparison panel grid
Modifying the X-axis scale to achieve the desired time window display
Fine-tuning these adjustments whenever switching between pie chart and comparison panel modes
These manual adjustments are necessary due to PineScript's limitations in controlling chart scaling programmatically. While this requires some initial setup, it allows users to customize the display to their preferred viewing proportions.
█ MAIN FEATURES
Distribution Analysis
The script provides three distinct distribution visualization modes through a pie chart.
Users can analyze their symbols by exchanges, asset types (such as Crypto, Forex, Futures), or market sectors.
If you can't see it well at first, adjust your chart scaling until it's displayed nicely.
Asset Exchanges
www.tradingview.com
Asset Types
Asset Sectors
The pie charts feature an optional 3D effect with adjustable depth and angle parameters. To enhance visual customization, four different color schemes are available: Default, Pastel, Dark, and Neon.
Each segment of the pie chart includes interactive tooltips that can be configured to show different levels of detail. Importantly, the pie chart only visualizes the distribution of selected assets (those marked with a checkmark in the watchlist), providing a focused view of the user's current interests.
Interactive Watchlist
The watchlist component displays real-time data for up to 10 user-defined symbols. Each entry shows current price, price changes (both absolute and percentage), volume metrics, and a comparison toggle.
The table is dynamically updated and features color-coded entries that correspond to their respective performance lines in the comparison chart. The watchlist serves as both an information display and a control panel for the comparison feature.
Performance Comparison
One of the script's most innovative features is its performance comparison panel.
Using polylines for smooth visualization, it tracks the 30-day performance of selected symbols relative to a 0% baseline.
The comparison chart includes a sophisticated grid system with 5% intervals and a dynamic legend showing current performance values.
The polyline implementation allows for fluid, continuous lines that accurately represent price movements, providing a more refined visual experience than traditional line plots. Like the pie charts, the comparison panel only displays performance lines for symbols that have been selected in the watchlist, allowing users to focus on their specific assets of interest.
█ TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION
The script utilizes several advanced PineScript features:
Dynamic array management for symbol tracking
Polyline-based charting for smooth performance visualization
Real-time data processing with security calls
Interactive tooltips and labels
Optimized drawing routines to maintain performance
Selective visualization based on user choices
█ CUSTOMIZATION
Users can personalize almost every aspect of the script:
Symbol selection and comparison preferences
Visual theme selection with four distinct color schemes
Pie chart dimensions and positioning
Tooltip information density
Component visibility toggles
█ LIMITATIONS
The primary limitation stems from PineScript's 500-line restriction per script.
This constraint necessitated the implementation of a mode-switching system between pie charts and the comparison panel, as displaying both simultaneously would exceed the line limit. Additionally, the script relies on manual chart scale adjustments, as PineScript doesn't provide direct control over chart scaling when overlay=false is enabled.
However, these limitations led to a more focused and efficient design approach that gives users control over their viewing experience.
█ CONCLUSION
All those tools exist in the native TradingView watchlist interface and they're better than what I just did.
However, now it exists in Pinescript... so I believe it's a win lol :)

1H/3m Concept [RunRox]🕘 1H/3m Concept is a versatile trading methodology based on liquidity sweeps from fractal points identified on higher timeframes, followed by price reversals at these key moments.
Below, I will explain this concept in detail and provide clear examples demonstrating its practical application.
⁉️ WHAT IS A FRACTALS?
In trading, a fractal is a technical analysis pattern composed of five consecutive candles, typically highlighting local market turning points. Specifically, a fractal high is formed when a candle’s high is higher than the highs of the two candles on either side, whereas a fractal low occurs when a candle’s low is lower than the lows of the two adjacent candles on both sides.
Traders use fractals as reference points for identifying significant support and resistance levels, potential reversal areas, and liquidity zones within price action analysis. Below is a screenshot illustrating clearly formed fractals on the chart.
📌 ABOUT THE CONCEPT
The 1H/3m Concept involves marking Higher Timeframe (HTF) fractals directly onto a Lower Timeframe (LTF) chart. When a liquidity sweep occurs at an HTF fractal level, we remain on the same LTF chart (since all HTF fractals are already plotted on this lower timeframe) and wait for a clear Market Structure Shift (MSS) to identify our potential entry point.
Below is a schematic illustration clearly demonstrating how this concept works in practice.
Below is another 💡 real-chart example , showing liquidity in the form of a 1H fractal, swept by a rapid impulse move. Immediately afterward, a clear Market Structure Shift (MSS) occurs, signaling a potential entry point into the trade.
Another example is shown below, where we see our hourly fractal, from which price clearly reacts, providing an opportunity to search for an entry point.
As illustrated on the chart, the fractal levels from the higher timeframe are clearly displayed, but we’re working directly on the 5-minute chart. This allows us to remain on one timeframe without needing to switch back and forth between charts to spot such trading setups.
🔍 MTF FRACTALS
This concept can be applied across various HTF-LTF timeframe combinations. Although our examples illustrate 1H fractals used on a 5-minute chart, you can effectively utilize many other timeframe combinations, such as:
30m HTF fractals on 1m chart
1H HTF fractals on 3m chart
4H HTF fractals on 15m chart
1D HTF fractals on 1H chart
The key idea behind this concept is always the same: identify liquidity at fractal levels on the higher timeframe (HTF), then wait for a clear Market Structure Shift (MSS) on the lower timeframe (LTF) to enter trades.
⚙️ SETTINGS
🔷 Trade Direction – Select the preferred trading direction (Long, Short, or Both).
🔷 HTF – Choose the higher timeframe from which fractals will be displayed on the current chart.
🔷 HTF Period – Number of candles required on both sides of a fractal candle (before and after) to confirm fractal formation on the HTF.
🔷 Current TF Period – Sensitivity to the impulse that sweeps liquidity, used for identifying and forming the MSS line.
🔷 Show HTF – Enable or disable displaying HTF fractal lines on your chart. You can also customize line style and color.
🔷 Max Age (Bars) – Number of recent bars within which fractals from the selected HTF will be displayed.
🔷 Show Entry – Enable or disable displaying the MSS line on the chart.
🔷 Enable Alert – Activates TradingView alerts whenever the MSS line is crossed.
You can also enable 🔔 alerts, which notify you whenever price crosses the MSS line. This significantly simplifies the process of identifying these setups on your charts. Simply configure your preferred timeframes and wait for notifications when the MSS line is crossed.
🔶 We greatly appreciate your feedback and suggestions for improving the indicator!
ImbalancesThis Pine Script is a trading indicator designed to identify imbalances in the market, specifically on candlestick charts. An imbalance refers to situations where there is a significant difference between buyers and sellers, which can create gaps or areas of inefficiency in the price. These imbalances often act as zones where price may return to "fill" or correct these inefficiencies.
1. Identifying Imbalances
The script analyzes candlestick patterns to detect imbalances based on the relationship between the highs, lows, and closes of consecutive candles. Specifically, it looks for:
Top Imbalances (Bearish): Areas where selling pressure has dominated, causing inefficiencies in the price. These are represented by patterns like multiple consecutive bearish candles or bearish gaps.
Bottom Imbalances (Bullish): Areas where buying pressure has dominated, leading to bullish gaps or inefficiencies.
When an imbalance is detected, the script highlights the area using visual boxes on the chart.
2. Visual Representation
The indicator uses colored boxes to show imbalances directly on the chart:
Top (Bearish) Imbalances: Highlighted using shades of red.
Bottom (Bullish) Imbalances: Highlighted using shades of green.
The boxes are further categorized into three states based on their level of mitigation:
Unmitigated: The imbalance has not been "filled" by price yet.
Partially Mitigated: Price has entered the imbalance zone but not completely filled it.
Fully Mitigated: Price has completely filled the imbalance zone.
3. Mitigation Logic
The concept of mitigation refers to the price revisiting an imbalance zone to correct the inefficiency:
If price fully or partially revisits an imbalance zone, the box's color changes to indicate the mitigation level (e.g., from unmitigated to partially/fully mitigated).
Fully mitigated boxes may be removed or recolored, depending on user preferences.
4. User Customization
The script provides several inputs to customize its behavior:
Enable or disable top and bottom imbalance detection.
Color settings: Users can define different colors for unmitigated, partially mitigated, and fully mitigated imbalances.
Mitigation display options: Users can choose whether to show fully mitigated imbalances on the chart or remove them.
5. Key Calculations
Imbalance Size: The size of the imbalance is calculated as the price difference between a candle's high and low across the relevant pattern.
Pattern Detection: The script checks for specific candlestick patterns (e.g., three consecutive bearish candles) to identify potential imbalances.
6. Practical Use Case
This indicator is useful for traders who:
Rely on supply and demand zones for their trading strategies.
Look for areas where price is likely to return (retesting unmitigated imbalances can signal potential trade setups).
Want to visually track market inefficiencies over time.
In Summary
The "Imbalances" indicator highlights and tracks price inefficiencies on candlestick charts. It marks zones where buying or selling pressure was dominant, and it dynamically updates these zones based on price action to indicate their mitigation status. This tool is particularly helpful for traders who use price action and market structure in their strategies.

[TehThomas] - Fair Value GapsThis script is designed to automatically detect and visualize Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on your chart in a clean, intuitive, and highly responsive way. It’s built with active traders in mind, offering both dynamic updates and customization options that help you stay focused on price action without being distracted by outdated or irrelevant information.
What Are Fair Value Gaps?
Fair Value Gaps are areas on a chart where there’s an inefficiency in price, typically formed when price moves aggressively in one direction, leaving a gap between the wicks of consecutive candles. These gaps represent imbalanced price action where not all buy or sell orders were efficiently matched. As a result, they often become magnet zones where price returns later to "fill" the imbalance before continuing in its intended direction. Many traders use them as points of interest for entries, re-entries, or anticipating reversals and consolidations.
This concept is frequently used in Smart Money and ICT-based trading models, where understanding how price seeks efficiency is crucial to anticipating future moves. When combined with concepts like liquidity, displacement, and market structure, FVGs become powerful tools for technical decision-making.
Script Features & Functionality
1. Live Updating Gaps (Dynamic Shrinking)
One of the core features of this script is its ability to track and dynamically shrink Fair Value Gaps as price trades into them. Instead of leaving a static zone on your chart, the gap will adjust in real-time, reflecting the portion that has been filled. This gives you a much more accurate picture of remaining imbalance and avoids misleading zones.
2. Automatic Cleanup After Fill
Once price fully fills an FVG, the script automatically removes it from the chart. This helps keep your workspace clean and focused only on relevant price zones. There’s no need to manually manage your gaps, everything is handled behind the scenes to reduce clutter and distraction.
3. Static Mode Option
While dynamic updating is the default, some traders may prefer to keep the original size of the gap visible even after partial fills. For that reason, the script includes a toggle to switch from live-updating (shrinking) mode to static mode. In static mode, FVGs stay fixed from the moment they are drawn, giving you a more traditional visual reference point.
4. Multi-Timeframe Support (MTF)
You can now view higher timeframe FVGs, such as those from the 1H or 4H chart, while analyzing lower timeframes like the 5-minute. This allows you to see key imbalances from broader market context without having to flip between charts. FVGs from higher timeframes will be drawn distinctly so you can differentiate them at a glance.
5. Cleaner Visualization
The script is designed with clarity in mind. All drawings are streamlined, and filled gaps are removed to maintain a minimal, distraction-free chart. This makes it easier to combine this tool with other indicators or price-action-based strategies without overloading your workspace.
6. Suitable for All Market Types
This script can be used on any asset that displays candlestick-based price action — including crypto, forex, indices, and stocks. Whether you're scalping low-timeframe setups or swing trading with a higher timeframe bias, FVGs remain a useful concept and this script adapts to your trading style.
Use Case Examples
On a 5-minute chart, display 1-hour FVGs to catch major imbalance zones during intraday trading.
Combine the FVGs with liquidity levels and inducement patterns to build ICT-style trade setups.
Use live-updating gaps to monitor in-progress fills and evaluate whether a zone still holds validity.
Set the script to static mode to perform backtesting or visual replay with historical setups.
Final Notes
Fair Value Gaps are not a standalone trading signal, but when used with market structure, liquidity, displacement, and order flow concepts, they provide high-probability trade locations that align with institutional-style trading models. This script simplifies the visualization of those zones so you can react faster, stay focused on clean setups, and eliminate unnecessary distractions.
Whether you’re trading high volatility breakouts or patiently waiting for retracements into unfilled imbalances, this tool is designed to support your edge with precision and flexibility.
Enigma Sniper 369The "Enigma Sniper 369" is a custom-built Pine Script indicator designed for TradingView, tailored specifically for forex traders seeking high-probability entries during high-volatility market sessions.
Unlike generic trend-following or scalping tools, this indicator uniquely combines session-based "kill zones" (London and US sessions), momentum-based candle analysis, and an optional EMA trend filter to pinpoint liquidity grabs and reversal opportunities.
Its originality lies in its focus on liquidity hunting—identifying levels where stop losses are likely clustered (around swing highs/lows and wick midpoints)—and providing visual entry zones that are dynamically removed once price breaches them, reducing clutter and focusing on actionable signals.
The name "369" reflects the structured approach of three key components (session timing, candle logic, and trend filter) working in harmony to snipe precise entries.
What It Does
"Enigma Sniper 369" identifies potential buy and sell opportunities by drawing two types of horizontal lines on the chart during user-defined London and US
session kill zones:
Solid Lines: Mark the swing low (for buys) or swing high (for sells) of a trigger candle, indicating a potential entry point where stop losses might be clustered.
Dotted Lines: Mark the 50% level of the candle’s wick (lower wick for buys, upper wick for sells), serving as a secondary confirmation zone for entries or tighter stop-loss placement.
These lines are plotted only when specific candle conditions are met within the kill zones, and they are automatically deleted once the price crosses them, signaling that the liquidity at that level has likely been grabbed. The indicator also includes an optional EMA filter to ensure trades align with the broader trend, reducing false signals in choppy markets.
How It Works
The indicator’s logic is built on a multi-layered approach:
Kill Zone Timing: Trades are only considered during user-defined London and US session hours (e.g., London from 02:00 to 12:00 UTC, as seen in the screenshots). These sessions are known for high volatility and liquidity, making them ideal for capturing institutional moves.
Candle-Based Momentum Logic:
Buy Signal: A candle must close above its midpoint (indicating bullish momentum) and have a lower low than the previous candle (suggesting a potential liquidity grab below the previous swing low). This is expressed as close > (high + low) / 2 and low < low .
Sell Signal: A candle must close below its midpoint (bearish momentum) and have a higher high than the previous candle (indicating a potential liquidity grab above the previous swing high), expressed as close < (high + low) / 2 and high > high .
These conditions ensure the indicator targets candles that break recent structure to hunt stop losses while showing directional momentum.
Optional EMA Filter: A 50-period EMA (customizable) can be enabled to filter signals based on trend direction.
Buy signals are only generated if the EMA is trending upward (ema_value > ema_value ), and sell signals require a downward EMA trend (ema_value < ema_value ). This reduces noise by aligning entries with the broader market trend.
Liquidity Levels and Deletion Logic:
For a buy signal, a solid green line is drawn at the candle’s low, and a dotted green line at the 50% level of the lower wick (from the candle body’s bottom to the low).
For a sell signal, a solid red line is drawn at the candle’s high, and a dotted red line at the 50% level of the upper wick (from the body’s top to the high).
These lines extend to the right until the price crosses them, at which point they are deleted, indicating the liquidity at that level has been taken (e.g., stop losses triggered).
Alerts: The indicator includes alert conditions for buy and sell signals, notifying traders when a new setup is identified.
Underlying Concepts
The indicator is grounded in the concept of liquidity hunting, a strategy often employed by institutional traders. Markets frequently move to levels where stop losses are clustered—typically just beyond swing highs or lows—before reversing in the opposite direction. The "Enigma Sniper 369" targets these moves by identifying candles that break structure (e.g., a lower low or higher high) during high-volatility sessions, suggesting a potential sweep of stop losses. The 50% wick level acts as a secondary confirmation, as this midpoint often represents a zone where tighter stop losses are placed by retail traders. The optional EMA filter adds a trend-following element, ensuring entries are taken in the direction of the broader market momentum, which is particularly useful on lower timeframes like the 15-minute chart shown in the screenshots.
How to Use It
Here’s a step-by-step guide based on the provided usage example on the GBP/USD 15-minute chart:
Setup the Indicator: Add "Enigma Sniper 369" to your TradingView chart. Adjust the London and US session hours to match your timezone (e.g., London from 02:00 to 12:00 UTC, US from 13:00 to 22:00 UTC). Customize the EMA period (default 50) and line styles/colors if desired.
Identify Kill Zones: The indicator highlights the London session in light green and the US session in light purple, as seen in the screenshots. Focus on these periods for signals, as they are the most volatile and likely to produce liquidity grabs.
Wait for a Signal: Look for solid and dotted lines to appear during the kill zones:
Buy Setup: A solid green line at the swing low and a dotted green line at the 50% lower wick level indicate a potential buy. This suggests the market may have grabbed liquidity below the swing low and is now poised to move higher.
Sell Setup: A solid red line at the swing high and a dotted red line at the 50% upper wick level indicate a potential sell, suggesting liquidity was taken above the swing high.
Place Your Trade:
For a buy, set a buy limit order at the dotted green line (50% wick level), as this is a more conservative entry point. Place your stop loss just below the solid green line (swing low) to cover the full swing. For example, in the screenshots, the market retraces to the dotted line at 1.32980 after a liquidity grab below the swing low, triggering a buy limit order.
For a sell, set a sell limit order at the dotted red line, with a stop loss just above the solid red line.
Monitor Price Action: Once the price crosses a line, it is deleted, indicating the liquidity at that level has been taken. In the screenshots, after the buy limit is triggered, the market moves higher, confirming the setup. The caption notes, “The market returns and tags us in long with a buy limit,” highlighting this retracement strategy.
Additional Context: Use the indicator to identify liquidity levels that may be targeted later. For example, the screenshot notes, “If a new session is about to open I will wait for the grab liquidity to go long,” showing how the indicator can be used to anticipate future moves at session opens (e.g., London open at 1.32980).
Risk Management: Always set a stop loss below the swing low (for buys) or above the swing high (for sells) to protect against adverse moves. The 50% wick level helps tighten entries, improving the risk-reward ratio.
Practical Example
On the GBP/USD 15-minute chart, during the London session (02:00 UTC), the indicator identifies a buy setup with a solid green line at 1.32901 (swing low) and a dotted green line at 1.32980 (50% wick level). The market initially dips below the swing low, grabbing liquidity, then retraces to the dotted line, triggering a buy limit order. The price subsequently rises to 1.33404, yielding a profitable trade. The user notes, “The logic is in the last candle it provides new level to go long,” emphasizing the indicator’s ability to identify fresh levels after a liquidity sweep.
Customization Tips
Adjust the EMA period to suit your timeframe (e.g., a shorter period like 20 for faster signals on lower timeframes).
Modify the session hours to align with your broker’s timezone or specific market conditions.
Use the alert feature to get notified of new setups without constantly monitoring the chart.
Why It’s Useful for Traders
The "Enigma Sniper 369" stands out by combining session timing, momentum-based candle analysis, and liquidity hunting into a single tool. It provides clear, actionable levels for entries and stop losses, removes invalid signals dynamically, and aligns trades with high-probability market conditions. Whether you’re a scalper looking for quick moves during London open or a swing trader targeting session-based reversals, this indicator offers a structured, data-driven approach to trading.

Daily Borders with Weekday Labels[fitfatq]Indicator Overview
This indicator displays daily vertical border lines and the previous day’s weekday label on intraday charts (i.e., charts with a timeframe lower than Daily). It draws a vertical line at the start of each new trading day and places a label displaying the previous day’s weekday (e.g., Monday) at the horizontal midpoint between the previous and the current day. Users can customize various visual aspects such as the separator line style and width, label style, text color, and text size. Additionally, the indicator offers an option to fix the label’s Y coordinate at a specified price level to prevent it from being overlapped by candlesticks.
Parameter Details
Use Fixed Weekday Label Y Coordinate
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Description: When enabled, the weekday label’s vertical position will be fixed at a specified price level (see next parameter). Otherwise, the label’s Y position is determined dynamically (typically based on the current bar’s low minus 3 ticks).
Fixed Weekday Label Y Coordinate (price)
Type: Float
Default: 130.0
Description:
This parameter sets the fixed price level at which the weekday label will be displayed if the "Use Fixed Weekday Label Y Coordinate" option is enabled. Please input a value that corresponds to your chart’s price scale (e.g., 130.50). Note: In charts with high price levels (for example, stocks trading at 3000 or above), it is recommended to set this value to 3000 or above. The higher the value, the closer the label will appear to the candlesticks.
Separator Line Style
Type: String (Options: "Solid", "Dotted", "Dashed")
Default: "Dotted"
Description: Specifies the style of the vertical separator line drawn at the start of each new day. "Solid" displays a continuous line, "Dotted" shows a dotted line, and "Dashed" provides a dashed line.
Separator Line Width
Type: Integer
Default: 1
Description: Determines the thickness of the separator line. A higher number results in a thicker line; the minimum value is 1.
Label Style
Type: String (Options: "None", "Label Up", "Label Down", "Label Left", "Label Right", "Label Center")
Default: "None"
Description: Sets the built-in style for the weekday label. "None" means no background or border (plain text only), while other options apply predefined visual effects.
Text Color
Type: Color
Default: Black
Description: Determines the text color of the weekday label.
Label Text Size
Type: String (Options: "Tiny", "Small", "Normal", "Large", "Huge")
Default: "Normal"
Description: Specifies the text size of the weekday label. Adjust according to preference to ensure the label is readable.
Usage Summary
How It Works:
The indicator detects the start of a new trading day using a change in the daily timeframe (via ta.change(time("D"))). When a new day begins, it draws a vertical separator line at the first bar of that day. If previous day data is available, the indicator calculates the horizontal midpoint between the start of the previous day and the current day and displays the previous day’s weekday label at that position. If the fixed Y coordinate option is enabled, the label is drawn at the specified price level; otherwise, it is positioned relative to the current bar’s low.
Customization:
Users can adjust all visual aspects, including the line style and width as well as the label style, text color, and text size. The fixed Y coordinate option allows the label’s vertical position to remain constant, which helps prevent overlapping with price bars.
Chart Requirement:
This indicator only operates on intraday charts (timeframes lower than Daily) and will not display on Daily or higher timeframe charts.

Fibonacci Circle Zones🟩 The Fibonacci Circle Zones indicator is a technical visualization tool, building upon the concept of traditional Fibonacci circles. It provides configurable options for analyzing geometric relationships between price and time, used to identify potential support and resistance zones derived from circle-based projections. The indicator constructs these Fibonacci circles based on two user-selected anchor points (Point A and Point B), which define the foundational price range and time duration for the geometric analysis.
Key features include multiple mathematical Circle Formulas for radius scaling and several options for defining the circle's center point, enabling exploration of complex, non-linear geometric relationships between price and time distinct from traditional linear Fibonacci analysis. Available formulas incorporate various mathematical constants (π, e, φ variants, Silver Ratio) alongside traditional Fibonacci ratios, facilitating investigation into different scaling hypotheses. Furthermore, selecting the Center point relative to the A-B anchors allows these circular time-price patterns to be constructed and analyzed from different geometric perspectives. Analysis can be further tailored through detailed customization of up to 12 Fibonacci levels, including their mathematical values, colors, and visibility..
📚 THEORY and CONCEPT 📚
Fibonacci circles represent an application of Fibonacci principles within technical analysis, extending beyond typical horizontal price levels by incorporating the dimension of time. These geometric constructions traditionally use numerical proportions, often derived from the Fibonacci sequence, to project potential zones of price-time interaction, such as support or resistance. A theoretical understanding of such geometric tools involves considering several core components: the significance of the chosen geometric origin or center point , the mathematical principles governing the proportional scaling of successive radii, and the fundamental calculation considerations (like chart scale adjustments and base radius definitions) that influence the resulting geometry and ensure its accurate representation.
⨀ Circle Center ⨀
The traditional construction methodology for Fibonacci circles begins with the selection of two significant anchor points on the chart, usually representing a key price swing, such as a swing low (Point A) and a subsequent swing high (Point B), or vice versa. This defined segment establishes the primary vector—representing both the price range and the time duration of that specific market move. From these two points, a base distance or radius is derived (this calculation can vary, sometimes using the vertical price distance, the time duration, or the diagonal distance). A center point for the circles is then typically established, often at the midpoint (time and price) between points A and B, or sometimes anchored directly at point B.
Concentric circles are then projected outwards from this center point. The radii of these successive circles are calculated by multiplying the base distance by key Fibonacci ratios and other standard proportions. The underlying concept posits that markets may exhibit harmonic relationships or cyclical behavior that adheres to these proportions, suggesting these expanding geometric zones could highlight areas where future price movements might decelerate, reverse, or find equilibrium, reflecting a potential proportional resonance with the initial defining swing in both price and time.
The Fibonacci Circle Zones indicator enhances traditional Fibonacci circle construction by offering greater analytical depth and flexibility: it addresses the origin point of the circles: instead of being limited to common definitions like the midpoint or endpoint B, this indicator provides a selection of distinct center point calculations relative to the initial A-B swing. The underlying idea is that the geometric source from which harmonic projections emanate might vary depending on the market structure being analyzed. This flexibility allows for experimentation with different center points (derived algorithmically from the A, B, and midpoint coordinates), facilitating exploration of how price interacts with circular zones anchored from various perspectives within the defining swing.
Potential Center Points Setup : This view shows the anchor points A and B , defined by the user, which form the basis of the calculations. The indicator dynamically calculates various potential Center points ( C through N , and X ) based on the A-B structure, representing different geometric origins available for selection in the settings.
Point X holds particular significance as it represents the calculated midpoint (in both time and price) between A and B. This 'X' point corresponds to the default 'Auto' center setting upon initial application of the indicator and aligns with the centering logic used in TradingView's standard Fibonacci Circle tool, offering a familiar starting point.
The other potential center points allow for exploring circles originating from different geometric anchors relative to the A-B structure. While detailing the precise calculation for each is beyond the scope of this overview, they can be broadly categorized: points C through H are derived from relationships primarily within the A-B time/price range, whereas points I through N represent centers projected beyond point B, extrapolating the A-B geometry. Point J, for example, is calculated as a reflection of the A-X midpoint projected beyond B. This variety provides a rich set of options for analyzing circle patterns originating from historical, midpoint, and extrapolated future anchor perspectives.
Default Settings (Center X, FibCircle) : Using the default Center X (calculated midpoint) with the default FibCircle . Although circles begin plotting only after Point B is established, their curvature shows they are geometrically centered on X. This configuration matches the standard TradingView Fib Circle tool, providing a baseline.
Centering on Endpoint B : Using Point B, the user-defined end of the swing, as the Center . This anchors the circular projections directly to the swing's termination point. Unlike centering on the midpoint (X) or start point (A), this focuses the analysis on geometric expansion originating precisely from the conclusion of the measured A-B move.
Projected Center J : Using the projected Point J as the Center . Its position is calculated based on the A-B swing (conceptually, it represents a forward projection related to the A-X midpoint relationship) and is located chronologically beyond Point B. This type of forward projection often allows complete circles to be visualized as price develops into the corresponding time zone.
Time Symmetry Projection (Center L) : Uses the projected Point L as the Center . It is located at the price level of the start point (A), projected forward in time from B by the full duration of the A-B swing . This perspective focuses analysis on temporal symmetry , exploring geometric expansions from a point representing a full time cycle completion anchored back at the swing's origin price level.
⭕ Circle Formula
Beyond the center point , the expansion of the projected circles is determined by the selected Circle Formula . This setting provides different mathematical methods, or scaling options , for scaling the circle radii. Each option applies a distinct mathematical constant or relationship to the base radius derived from the A-B swing, allowing for exploration of various geometric proportions.
eScaled
Mathematical Basis: Scales the radius by Euler's number ( e ≈ 2.718), the base of natural logarithms. This constant appears frequently in processes involving continuous growth or decay.
Enables investigation of market geometry scaled by e , exploring relationships potentially based on natural exponential growth applied to time-price circles, potentially relevant for analyzing phases of accelerating momentum or volatility expansion.
FibCircle
Mathematical Basis: Scales the radius to align with TradingView’s built-in Fibonacci Circle Tool.
Provides a baseline circle size, potentially emulating scaling used in standard drawing tools, serving as a reference point for comparison with other options.
GoldenFib
Mathematical Basis: Scales the radius by the Golden Ratio (φ ≈ 1.618).
Explores the fundamental Golden Ratio proportion, central to Fibonacci analysis, applied directly to circular time-price geometry, potentially highlighting zones reflecting harmonic expansion or retracement patterns often associated with φ.
GoldenContour
Mathematical Basis: Scales the radius by a factor derived from Golden Ratio geometry (√(1 + φ²) / 2 ≈ 0.951). It represents a specific geometric relationship derived from φ.
Allows analysis using proportions linked to the geometry of the Golden Rectangle, scaled to produce circles very close to the initial base radius. This explores structural relationships often associated with natural balance or proportionality observed in Golden Ratio constructions.
SilverRatio
Mathematical Basis: Scales the radius by the Silver Ratio (1 + √2 ≈ 2.414). The Silver Ratio governs relationships in specific regular polygons and recursive sequences.
Allows exploration using the proportions of the Silver Ratio, offering a significant expansion factor based on another fundamental metallic mean for comparison with φ-based methods.
PhiDecay
Mathematical Basis: Scales the radius by φ raised to the power of -φ (φ⁻ᵠ ≈ 0.53). This unique exponentiation explores a less common, non-linear transformation involving φ.
Explores market geometry scaled by this specific phi-derived factor which is significantly less than 1.0, offering a distinct contractile proportion for analysis, potentially relevant for identifying zones related to consolidation phases or decaying momentum.
PhiSquared
Mathematical Basis: Scales the radius by φ squared, normalized by dividing by 3 (φ² / 3 ≈ 0.873).
Enables investigation of patterns related to the φ² relationship (a key Fibonacci extension concept), visualized at a scale just below 1.0 due to normalization. This scaling explores projections commonly associated with significant trend extension targets in linear Fibonacci analysis, adapted here for circular geometry.
PiScaled
Mathematical Basis: Scales the radius by Pi (π ≈ 3.141).
Explores direct scaling by the fundamental circle constant (π), investigating proportions inherent to circular geometry within the market's time-price structure, potentially highlighting areas related to natural market cycles, rotational symmetry, or full-cycle completions.
PlasticNumber
Mathematical Basis: Scales the radius by the Plastic Number (approx 1.3247), the third metallic mean. Like φ and the Silver Ratio, it is the solution to a specific cubic equation and relates to certain geometric forms.
Introduces another distinct fundamental mathematical constant for geometric exploration, comparing market proportions to those potentially governed by the Plastic Number.
SilverFib
Mathematical Basis: Scales the radius by the reciprocal Golden Ratio (1/φ ≈ 0.618).
Explores proportions directly related to the core 0.618 Fibonacci ratio, fundamental within Fibonacci-based geometric analysis, often significant for identifying primary retracement levels or corrective wave structures within a trend.
Unscaled
Mathematical Basis: No scaling applied.
Provides the base circle defined by points A/B and the Center setting without any additional mathematical scaling, serving as a pure geometric reference based on the A-B structure.
🧪 Advanced Calculation Settings
Two advanced settings allow further refinement of the circle calculations: matching the chart's scale and defining how the base radius is calculated from the A-B swing.
The Chart Scale setting ensures geometric accuracy by aligning circle calculations with the chart's vertical axis display. Price charts can use either a standard (linear) or logarithmic scale, where vertical distances represent price changes differently. The setting offers two options:
Standard : Select this option when the price chart's vertical axis is set to a standard linear scale.
Logarithmic : It is necessary to select this option if the price chart's vertical axis is set to a logarithmic scale. Doing so ensures the indicator adjusts its calculations to maintain correct geometric proportions relative to the visual price action on the log-scaled chart.
The Radius Calc setting determines how the fundamental base radius is derived from the A-B swing, offering two primary options:
Auto : This is the default setting and represents the traditional method for radius calculation. This method bases the radius calculation on the vertical price range of the A-B swing, focusing the geometry on the price amplitude.
Geometric : This setting provides an alternative calculation method, determining the base radius from the diagonal distance between Point A and Point B. It considers both the price change and the time duration relative to the chart's aspect ratio, defining the radius based on the overall magnitude of the A-B price-time vector.
This choice allows the resulting circle geometry to be based either purely on the swing's vertical price range ( Auto ) or on its combined price-time movement ( Geometric ).
🖼️ CHART EXAMPLES 🖼️
Default Behavior (X Center, FibCircle Formula) : This configuration uses the midpoint ( Center X) and the FibCircle scaling Formula , representing the indicator's effective default setup when 'Auto' is selected for both options initially. This is designed to match the output of the standard TradingView Fibonacci Circle drawing tool.
Center B with Unscaled Formula : This example shows the indicator applied to an uptrend with the Center set to Point B and the Circle Formula set to Unscaled . This configuration projects the defined levels (0.236, 0.382, etc.) as arcs originating directly from the swing's termination point (B) without applying any additional mathematical scaling from the formulas.
Visualization with Projected Center J : Here, circles are centered on the projected point J, calculated from the A-B structure but located forward in time from point B. Notice how using this forward-projected origin allows complete inner circles to be drawn once price action develops into that zone, providing a distinct visual representation of the expanding geometric field compared to using earlier anchor points. ( Unscaled formula used in this example).
PhiSquared Scaling from Endpoint B : The PhiSquared scaling Formula applied from the user-defined swing endpoint (Point B). Radii expand based on a normalized relationship with φ² (the square of the Golden Ratio), creating a unique geometric structure and spacing between the circle levels compared to other formulas like Unscaled or GoldenFib .
Centering on Swing Origin (Point A) : Illustrates using Point A, the user-defined start of the swing, as the circle Center . Note the significantly larger scale and wider spacing of the resulting circles. This difference occurs because centering on the swing's origin (A) typically leads to a larger base radius calculation compared to using the midpoint (X) or endpoint (B). ( Unscaled formula used).
Center Point D : Point D, dynamically calculated from the A-B swing, is used as the origin ( Center =D). It is specifically located at the price level of the swing's start point (A) occurring precisely at the time coordinate of the swing's end point (B). This offers a unique perspective, anchoring the geometric expansion to the initial price level at the exact moment the defining swing concludes. ( Unscaled formula shown).
Center Point G : Point G, also dynamically calculated from the A-B swing, is used as the origin ( Center =G). It is located at the price level of the swing's endpoint (B) occurring at the time coordinate of the start point (A). This provides the complementary perspective to Point D, anchoring the geometric expansion to the final price level achieved but originating from the moment the swing began . As observed in the example, using Point G typically results in very wide circle projections due to its position relative to the core A-B action. ( Unscaled formula shown).
Center Point I: Half-Duration Projection : Using the dynamically calculated Point I as the Center . Located at Point B's price level but projected forward in time by half the A-B swing duration , Point I's calculated time coordinate often falls outside the initially visible chart area. As the chart progresses, this origin point will appear, revealing large, sweeping arcs representing geometric expansions based on a half-cycle temporal projection from the swing's endpoint price. ( Unscaled formula shown).
Center Point M : Point M, also dynamically calculated from the A-B swing, serves as the origin ( Center =M). It combines the midpoint price level (derived from X) with a time coordinate projected forward from Point B by the full duration of the A-B swing . This perspective anchors the geometric expansion to the swing's balance price level but originates from the completion point of a full temporal cycle relative to the A-B move. Like other projected centers, using M allows for complete circles to be visualized as price progresses into its time zone. ( SilverFib formula shown).
Geometric Validation & Functionality : Comparing the indicator (red lines), using its default settings ( Center X, FibCircle Formula ), against TradingView's standard Fib Circle tool (green lines/white background). The precise alignment, particularly visible at the 1.50 and 2.00 levels shown, validates the core geometry calculation.

Point B (Time, Price) : Input fields for the exact time coordinate and price level of the swing's ending point (B).
Interactive Adjustment : Points A and B can typically be adjusted directly by clicking and dragging their markers on the chart (if 'Setup' is set to 'Show'). Changes update settings automatically.
📝 NOTES 📝
Fibonacci circles begin plotting only once the time corresponding to Point B has passed and is confirmed on the chart. While potential center locations might be visible earlier (as shown in the setup graphic), the final circle calculations require the complete geometry of the A-B swing. This approach ensures that as new price bars form, the circles are accurately rendered based on the finalized A-B relationship and the chosen center and scaling.
The indicator's calculations are anchored to user-defined start (A) and end (B) points on the chart. When switching between charts with significantly different price scales (e.g., from an index at 5,000 to a crypto asset at $0.50), it is typically necessary to adjust these anchor points to ensure the circle elements are correctly positioned and scaled.
⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️
The Fibonacci Circle Zones indicator is a visual analysis tool designed to illustrate Fibonacci relationships through geometric constructions incorporating curved lines, providing a structured framework for identifying potential areas of price interaction.

[TehThomas] - ICT Volume ImbalanceThis script is a Volume Imbalance (VI) detector and visualizer for use on the TradingView platform. The goal of the script is to automatically identify areas where there are significant imbalances in the volume of trades between consecutive candlesticks and visually highlight these areas. These imbalances can provide traders with valuable insights about the market’s current condition, often signaling potential reversal or continuation points based on price and volume action.
ICT (Inner Circle Trader) Concept of Volume Imbalances
Volume imbalances are a critical concept in the ICT trading methodology. They refer to situations where there is an unusual or significant difference in volume between two consecutive candlesticks, which might indicate institutional or large player activity. According to ICT principles, these imbalances can show us areas of market inefficiency or potential price manipulation. By identifying these imbalances, traders can gain an edge in understanding where the market is likely to move next.
Bullish and Bearish Volume Imbalances:
Bullish Volume Imbalance: This occurs when there is a strong increase in buying pressure, typically indicated by a higher volume on a candle that closes significantly above the previous one, often leaving a gap or larger price movement. The market could be preparing to push higher, and the volume shows a clear shift in buying demand.
Bearish Volume Imbalance:
Conversely, a bearish imbalance occurs when there is a strong increase in selling pressure, typically signaled by a candle that closes significantly lower than the previous one, again with higher volume. This could indicate that large players are offloading positions, and the price is likely to drop further.
Key Features and Functions of the Script
The script automates the process of detecting these volume imbalances and visually marking them on a price chart. Let’s explore its functionality in detail.
1. Inputs Section
The script allows for significant customization through its input options, which help traders adjust the detection and visualization of volume imbalances based on their individual preferences and trading style. Below are the details:
lookback (250 bars): This input specifies the number of bars (or candles) the script should look back when analyzing the volume imbalance. By setting this to 250, the user is looking at the last 250 bars on the chart to detect any significant volume imbalances. This period is adjustable between 50 to 500 bars.
volumeThreshold (1.0 multiplier): This input helps set the sensitivity for identifying volume imbalances. The script compares the volume of the current candle with the previous one, and if the current volume exceeds the previous volume by this threshold multiplier (in this case, 1.0 means at least equal to the previous volume), then it triggers an imbalance. Users can adjust the multiplier to suit different market conditions.
showBoxes (true/false): This toggle determines whether the boxes representing volume imbalances are drawn on the chart. When enabled, the script visually highlights the imbalances with colored boxes.
fillBaseColor (orange with 80% opacity): This is the color setting for the background of the imbalance boxes. A softer color (like orange with opacity) ensures the imbalance is highlighted without obscuring the price action.
borderColor (gray): The color of the border around the imbalance boxes. This adds a visual distinction to make the imbalance areas more visible.
borderWidth (1 pixel): This controls the width of the box's border to adjust how prominent it appears.
rightOffset (30 bars): This input controls how far the imbalance box extends to the right on the chart. It helps users anticipate the potential continuation of the imbalance beyond the current candle.
allowWickOverlap (true/false): This setting allows imbalances to be identified even if the wicks of the two consecutive candlesticks overlap. If set to false, only imbalances where the bodies of the candlesticks don’t overlap are considered.
showBrokenBoxes (true/false): If enabled, once a volume imbalance no longer holds true (i.e., the price breaks through the box), the box is marked as "broken." If disabled, the box is deleted when the imbalance condition no longer applies.
brokenBoxColor (red): This controls the color of the box when it is broken, which can be used as a visual cue that the imbalance was invalidated or no longer valid for analysis.
2. Volume Imbalance Function
This is the core function of the script, where the logic to detect bullish and bearish volume imbalances is implemented.
Bullish Imbalance Condition:
The first condition checks if the low of the current candle is greater than the high of the previous candle. This suggests that the market is moving upward with buying pressure.
The second condition checks whether the volume of the current candle is higher than the previous candle by the volumeThreshold multiplier. If both conditions are satisfied, a bullish imbalance is detected.
Bearish Imbalance Condition:
The first condition checks if the high of the current candle is lower than the low of the previous candle. This suggests downward price action with selling pressure.
The second condition checks whether the current volume exceeds the previous volume by the threshold
Allow Wick Overlap: If allowWickOverlap is set to true, the script will still detect imbalances if the wicks of the two candles overlap (common in volatile markets). If false, imbalances are only considered if the wicks do not overlap.
3. Box Creation and Management
When a volume imbalance is detected, the script creates a box on the chart:
The bullish imbalance box is drawn using the minimum of the open and close of the current bar as the top boundary and the maximum of the open and close of the previous bar as the bottom boundary.
Conversely, the bearish imbalance box is drawn in reverse, using the maximum of the current bar’s open and close as the top boundary and the minimum of the previous bar’s open and close as the bottom boundary.
Once the box is created, it is displayed on the chart with the specified background color, border color, and width.
4. Processing Existing Boxes
After detecting a new imbalance and drawing a box, the script checks whether the box should still remain on the chart:
If the price moves beyond the boundaries of the imbalance box, the box is marked as broken (if showBrokenBoxes is enabled), and its color is changed to red, signifying that the imbalance is no longer valid.
If the box remains intact (i.e., the price has not broken the defined boundaries), the script keeps the box extended to the right as the market continues to evolve.
5. Removing Outdated Boxes
Lastly, the script removes boxes that are older than the specified lookback period. For example, if a box was created 250 bars ago, it will be deleted after that period. This ensures the chart stays clean and only focuses on relevant imbalances.
Why This Script is Useful for Traders
This script is extremely valuable for traders, especially those following the ICT methodology, because it automates the process of detecting market inefficiencies or imbalances that might signal future price action. Here’s why it’s particularly useful:
Identifying Key Areas of Interest: Volume imbalances often point to areas where institutional or large-scale traders have entered the market. These areas could provide clues about the next significant move in the market.
Visualizing Market Structure: By automatically drawing boxes around volume imbalances, the script helps traders visually identify potential areas of support, resistance, or turning points, enabling them to make informed trading decisions.
Time Efficiency: Instead of manually analyzing each candlestick and volume spike, this script does the heavy lifting, saving traders valuable time and allowing them to focus on other aspects of their strategy.
Enhanced Trade Entries and Exits: By understanding where volume imbalances are occurring, traders can time their entries (buying during bullish imbalances and selling during bearish ones) and exits (as imbalances break) more effectively, thus improving their chances of success.
Conclusion
In summary, this script is a powerful tool for traders looking to implement volume imbalance strategies based on the ICT methodology. It automates the identification and visualization of significant imbalances in price and volume, offering traders a clear visual representation of potential market turning points. By customizing the settings, traders can tailor the script to their preferred timeframes and sensitivity, making it a flexible and effective tool for any trading strategy.

Fibonacci Time-Price Zones🟩 Fibonacci Time-Price Zones is a chart visualization tool that combines Fibonacci ratios with time-based and price-based geometry to analyze market behavior. Unlike typical Fibonacci indicators that focus solely on horizontal price levels, this indicator incorporates time into the analysis, providing a more dynamic perspective on price action.
The indicator offers multiple ways to visualize Fibonacci relationships. Drawing segmented circles creates a unique perspective on price action by incorporating time into the analysis. These segmented circles, similar to TradingView's built-in Fibonacci Circles, are derived from Fibonacci time and price levels, allowing traders to identify potential turning points based on the dynamic interaction between price and time.
As another distinct visualization method, the indicator incorporates orthogonal patterns, created by the intersection of horizontal and vertical Fibonacci levels. These intersections form L-shaped connections on the chart, derived from key Fibonacci price and time intervals, highlighting potential areas of support or resistance at specific points in time.
In addition to these geometric approaches, another option is sloped lines, which project Fibonacci levels that account for both time and price along the trendline. These projections derive their angles from the interplay between Fibonacci price levels and Fibonacci time intervals, creating dynamic zones on the chart. The slope of these lines reflects the direction and angle of the trend, providing a visual representation of price alignment with market direction, while maintaining the time-price relationship unique to this indicator
The indicator also includes horizontal Fibonacci levels similar to traditional retracement and extension tools. However, unlike standard tools, traders can display retracement levels, extension levels, or both simultaneously from a single instance of the indicator. These horizontal levels maintain consistency with the chosen visualization method, automatically scaling and adapting whether used with circles, orthogonal patterns, or slope-based analysis.
By combining these distinct methods—circles, orthogonal patterns, sloped projections, and horizontal levels—the indicator provides a comprehensive approach to Fibonacci analysis based on both time and price relationships. Each visualization method offers a unique perspective on market structure while maintaining the core principle of time-price interaction.
⭕ THEORY AND CONCEPT ⭕
While traditional Fibonacci tools excel at identifying potential support and resistance levels through price-based ratios (0.236, 0.382, 0.618), they do not incorporate the dimension of time in market analysis. Extensions and retracements effectively measure price relationships within trends, yet markets move through both price and time dimensions simultaneously.
Fibonacci circles represent an evolution in technical analysis by incorporating time intervals alongside price levels. Based on the mathematical principle that markets often move in circular patterns proportional to Fibonacci ratios, these circles project potential support and resistance zones as partial circles radiating from significant price points. However, traditional circle-based tools can create visual complexity that obscures key market relationships. The integration of time into Fibonacci analysis reveals how price movements often respect both temporal and price-based ratios, suggesting a deeper geometric structure to market behavior.
The Fibonacci Time-Price Zones indicator advances these concepts by providing multiple geometric approaches to visualize time-price relationships. Each shape option—circles, orthogonal patterns, slopes, and horizontal levels—represents a different mathematical perspective on how Fibonacci ratios manifest across both dimensions. This multi-faceted approach allows traders to observe how price responds to Fibonacci-based zones that account for both time and price movements, potentially revealing market structure that purely price-based tools might miss.
Shape Options
The indicator employs four distinct geometric approaches to analyze Fibonacci relationships across time and price dimensions:
Circular : Represents the cyclical nature of market movements through partial circles, where each radius is scaled by Fibonacci ratios incorporating both time and price components. This geometry suggests market movements may follow proportional circular paths from significant pivot points, reflecting the harmonic relationship between time and price.
Orthogonal : Constructs L-shaped patterns that separate the time and price components of Fibonacci relationships. The horizontal component represents price levels, while the vertical component measures time intervals, allowing analysis of how these dimensions interact independently at key market points.
Sloped : Projects Fibonacci levels along the prevailing trend, incorporating both time and price in the angle of projection. This approach suggests that support and resistance levels may maintain their relationship to price while adjusting to the temporal flow of the market.
Horizontal : Provides traditional static Fibonacci levels that serve as a reference point for comparing price-only analysis with the dynamic time-price relationships shown in the other three shapes. This baseline approach allows traders to evaluate how the incorporation of time dimension enhances or modifies traditional Fibonacci analysis.
By combining these geometric approaches, the Fibonacci Time-Price Zones indicator creates a comprehensive analytical framework that bridges traditional and advanced Fibonacci analysis. The horizontal levels serve as familiar reference points, while the dynamic elements—circular, orthogonal, and sloped projections—reveal how price action responds to temporal relationships. This multi-dimensional approach enables traders to study market structure through various geometric lenses, providing deeper insights into time-price symmetry within technical analysis. Whether applied to retracements, extensions, or trend analysis, the indicator offers a structured methodology for understanding how markets move through both price and time dimensions.
🛠️ CONFIGURATION AND SETTINGS 🛠️
The Fibonacci Time-Price Zones indicator offers a range of configurable settings to tailor its functionality and visual representation to your specific analysis needs. These options allow you to customize zone visibility, structures, horizontal lines, and other features.
Important Note: The indicator's calculations are anchored to user-defined start and end points on the chart. When switching between charts with significantly different price scales (e.g., from Bitcoin at $100,000 to Silver at $30), adjustment of these anchor points is required to ensure correct positioning of the Fibonacci elements.
Fibonacci Levels
The indicator allows users to customize Fibonacci levels for both retracement and extension analysis. Each level can be individually configured with the following options:
Visibility : Toggle the visibility of each level to focus on specific areas of interest.
Level Value : Set the Fibonacci ratio for the level, such as 0.618 or 1.000, to align with your analysis needs.
Color : Customize the color of each level for better visual clarity.
Line Thickness : Adjust the line thickness to emphasize critical levels or maintain a cleaner chart.

While the settings panel displays their exact values for fine-tuning, the easiest way to modify these points is by dragging them directly on the chart for quick adjustments.
Interactive Adjustments : Any changes made to the points on the chart will automatically synchronize with the settings panel, ensuring consistency and precision.
🖼️ CHART EXAMPLES 🖼️
Fibonacci Time-Price Zones using the 'Circular' Shape option. Note the price interaction at the 0.786 level, which acts as a support zone. Additional points of interest include resistance near the 0.618 level and consolidation around the 0.5 level, highlighting the utility of both horizontal and semicircular Fibonacci projections in identifying key price areas.
Fibonacci Time-Price Zones using the 'Sloped' Shape option. The chart displays price retracing along the sloped Fibonacci levels, with blue arrows highlighting potential support zones at 0.618 and 0.786, and a red arrow indicating potential resistance at the 1.0 level. This visual representation aligns with the prevailing downtrend, suggesting potential selling pressure at the 1.0 Fibonacci level.
Fibonacci Time-Price Zones using the 'Orthogonal' Shape option. The chart demonstrates price action interacting with vertical zones created by the orthogonal lines at the 0.618, 0.786, and 1.0 Fibonacci levels. Blue arrows highlight potential support areas, while red arrows indicate potential resistance areas, revealing how the orthogonal lines can identify distinct points of price interaction.
Fibonacci Time-Price Zones using the 'Circular' Shape option. The chart displays price action in relation to segmented circles emanating from the starting point (point A). The circles represent different Fibonacci ratios (0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786) and their intersections with the price axis create potential zones of support and resistance. This approach offers a visually distinct way to analyze potential turning points based on both price and time.
Fibonacci Time-Price Zones using the 'Sloped' Shape option. The sloped Fibonacci levels (0.786, 0.618, 0.5) create zones of potential support and resistance, with price finding clear interaction within these areas. The ellipses highlight this price action, particularly the support between 0.786 and 0.618, which aligns closely with the trend.
Fibonacci Time-Price Zones using the 'Circular' Shape option. The price action appears to be ‘hugging’ the 0.5 Fibonacci level, suggesting potential resistance. This demonstrates how the circular zones can identify potential turning points and areas of consolidation which might not be seen with linear analysis.
Fibonacci Time-Price Zones using the 'Sloped' Shape option with Point D marker enabled. The chart demonstrates clear price action closely following along the sloped Retracement line until the orthogonal intersection at the 0.618 levels where the trend is broken and price dips throughout the 0.618 to 0.786 horizontal zone. Price jumps back to the retracement slope at the start of the 0.786 horizontal zone and continues to the 1.0 horizontal zone. The aqua-colored retracement line is enabled to further emphasize this retracement slope .

The Fibonacci circle connects retracement and extension zones, highlighting the potential relationship between past retracements and future extensions.
📐 GEOMETRIC FOUNDATIONS 📐
This indicator integrates circular and straight representations of Fibonacci levels, specifically the Circular , Orthogonal , Sloped , and Horizontal shape options. The geometric principles behind these shapes differ significantly, requiring distinct scaling methods for accurate representation. The Circular shape employs logarithmic scaling with radial expansion, where the distance from a central point determines the level's position, creating partial circles that align with TradingView's built-in Fibonacci Circle tool. The other three shapes utilize geometric progression scaling for linear extension from a starting point, resulting in straight lines that align with TradingView's built-in Fibonacci retracement and extension tools. Due to these distinct geometric foundations and scaling methods, perfectly aligning both the partial circles and straight lines simultaneously is mathematically constrained, though any differences are typically visually imperceptible.
The Circular shape's partial circles are calculated and scaled to align with TradingView's built-in Fibonacci Circles. These circles are plotted from the second swing point onward. This approach ensures consistent and accurate visualization across all market types, including those with gaps or closed sessions, which unlike 24/7 markets, do not have a direct one-to-one correspondence between bar indices and time. To maintain accurate geometric proportions across varying chart scales, the indicator calculates an aspect ratio by normalizing the proportional difference between vertical (price) and horizontal (time) distances of the swing points. This normalization factor ensures geometric shapes maintain their mathematical properties regardless of price scale magnitude or time period span, while maintaining the correct proportions of the geometric constructions at any chart zoom level.
The indicator automatically applies the appropriate scaling factor based on the selected shape option, optimizing either circular proportions and proper radius calculations for each Fibonacci level, or straight-line relationships between Fibonacci levels. These distinct scaling approaches maintain mathematical integrity while preserving the essential characteristics of each geometric representation, ensuring optimal visualization accuracy whether using circular or linear shapes.

By dynamically adapting to the user's visible screen area, it provides consistent, easy-to-read round number grids that align with price action. The indicator offers a traditional visualization of horizontal round level grids, along with enhanced options such as tilted grids that align with market sentiment, and fan-shaped grids for alternative price interaction views. It serves purely as a visual aid, providing an adaptable way to observe rounded price levels without making predictions or generating trading signals.
⚡ OVERVIEW ⚡
The Rounded Grid Levels indicator is a visual tool designed to help traders identify and track price levels that may hold psychological significance, such as round numbers or significant milestones. These levels often serve as potential areas for price reactions, including support, resistance, or points of market interest. The indicator's gridlines are determined by user-defined settings and adjust dynamically based on the visible chart area, meaning they are influenced by the user's current zoom level and perspective. This behavior is similar to TradingView's built-in grid lines found in the chart settings canvas, which also adjust in real-time based on the visible screen, ensuring the most relevant price levels are displayed. By default, the indicator provides consistent gridlines to represent traditional round number levels, offering a straightforward view of key psychological areas. Additionally, users have access to experimental and novel configurations, such as fan-shaped layouts, which expand from a central point and adapt directionally based on user settings. This configuration can provide an alternate perspective for traders, especially useful in analyzing broader market moves and visualizing expansion relative to the current price.
Users can display the gridlines in a variety of configurations, including horizontal, neutral, auto, or fan-shaped layouts, depending on their preferred method of analysis. This flexibility allows traders to focus on different types of price action without overcrowding the visual representation of price movements.
This indicator is intended purely as a visual aid for understanding how price interacts with rounded levels over time. It does not generate predictive trading signals or recommendations but rather provides traders with a customizable framework to enhance their market analysis.
⭕ ROUND NUMBERS IN MARKET PSYCHOLOGY ⭕
Round numbers hold a significant place in financial markets, largely due to the psychological tendencies of traders and investors. These levels often represent areas of interest where human behavior, market biases, and trading strategies converge. Whether it's prices ending in 000, 500, or other recognizable values, these levels naturally attract more attention and influence decision-making.
Round numbers can act as key support or resistance levels and often become focal points in market activity. They are frequently highlighted by financial media, embedded in products like options, and serve as foundations for various trading theories. Their impact extends across different market participants and strategies, making them important focal points in both short-term and long-term market analysis.
Round numbers play an important role in guiding trader behavior and market activity. To better understand why these levels are so impactful, there are several key factors that highlight their significance in trading and price dynamics:
Psychological Impact : Humans naturally gravitate toward round numbers, such as prices ending in 000, 500, or 00. These levels tend to draw attention as traders perceive them as psychologically significant. This behavior is rooted in the cognitive bias known as "left-digit bias," where people assign greater importance to rounded, more recognizable numbers. In trading, this means that prices at these levels are more memorable and thus more likely to attract attention, creating an area where traders focus their buying or selling decisions.
Order Clustering : Traders often place buy and sell orders around these rounded levels, either manually or automatically through stop and limit orders. This clustering leads to the formation of visible support or resistance zones, as the concentrated orders tend to influence price behavior around these key levels. Market participants tend to converge their orders around these price points because of their perceived psychological importance, creating a liquidity pocket. As a result, these areas often act as barriers that the price either struggles to cross or uses as springboards for further movement.
External Influences : Financial media frequently highlights round-number milestones, amplifying market sentiment and drawing traders' attention to these levels. Additionally, algorithmic trading systems often react to round-number thresholds, which can further reinforce price movements, creating self-reinforcing reactions at these levels. As media and analysts emphasize these milestones, more traders pay attention to them, leading to increased volume and often heightened volatility at those points. This self-reinforcing cycle makes round numbers an area where price movement can either accelerate due to a breakout or stall because of clustering interest.
Option Strike Prices : Options contracts typically have strike prices set at round numbers, and as expiration approaches, these levels can influence the price of the underlying asset due to concentrated trading activity. The behavior around these levels, often called "pinning," happens because traders adjust their positions to avoid unfavorable scenarios at these key strikes. This activity tends to concentrate price movement toward these levels as traders hedge their positions, leading to increased liquidity and the potential for abrupt price reactions near option expiration dates.
Whole Number Theory : This theory suggests that whole numbers act as natural psychological barriers, where traders tend to make decisions, place orders, or expect price reactions, making these levels crucial for analysis. Whole numbers are simple to remember and are often used as informal targets for profit-taking or stop placement. This behavior leads to a natural ebb and flow around these levels, where the market finds equilibrium temporarily before deciding on a future direction. Whole numbers tend to work like magnets, drawing price to them and often creating reactions that are visible across different timeframes.
Quarters Theory : Commonly used in Forex markets, this theory focuses on quarter-point increments (e.g., 1.0000, 1.2500, 1.5000) as key levels where price often pauses or reverses. These quarter levels are treated as important psychological barriers, with price frequently interacting at these intervals. Traders use these points to gauge market strength or weakness because quarter levels divide larger round-number ranges into more manageable and meaningful segments. For example, in highly traded forex pairs like EUR/USD, traders might treat 1.2500 as a significant barrier because it represents a halfway point between 1.0000 and 1.5000, offering a balanced reference point for decision-making.
Big Round Numbers : Major round numbers, such as 100, 500, or 1000, often attract significant attention and serve as psychological thresholds. Traders anticipate strong reactions when prices approach or cross these levels. This is often because large round numbers symbolize major milestones, and price behavior around them tends to signal important market sentiment shifts. When price crosses a major level, such as a stock moving above $100 or Bitcoin crossing $50,000, it often creates a surge in trading activity as it is viewed as a validation or invalidation of market trends, drawing in momentum traders and triggering both retail and institutional responses.
By visualizing these round levels on the chart, the Rounded Grid Levels indicator helps traders identify areas where price may pause, reverse, or gain momentum. While round numbers provide useful insights, they should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools for a comprehensive trading strategy.
🛠️ CONFIGURATION AND SETTINGS 🛠️
The Rounded Grid Levels indicator offers a variety of configurable settings to tailor the visualization according to individual trader preferences. Below are the key settings available for customization:
Custom Settings
Rounding Step : The Rounding Step parameter sets the minimum interval between gridlines. This value determines how closely spaced the rounded levels are on the chart. For example, if the Rounding Step is set to 100, gridlines will be displayed at every 100 points (e.g., $100, $200, $300) relative to the current price level. The Rounding Step is scaled to the chart's visible area, meaning users should adjust it appropriately for different assets to ensure effective visualization. Lower values provide a more granular view, while larger values give a broader, higher-level perspective.
Major Grids : Defines the interval at which major gridlines will appear compared to minor ones. For example, if the Rounding Step is 100 and Major Grids is set to 10, major gridlines will be displayed every $1,000, while minor gridlines will be at every $100. This distinction allows traders to better visualize key psychological levels by emphasizing significant price intervals.
Direction : Users can select the gridline direction, choosing between options such as 'Up', 'Down', 'Auto', or 'Neutral'. This setting controls how the gridlines extend relative to the current price level, which can help in analyzing directional trends.
Neutral Direction : This option provides balanced gridlines both above and below the current price, allowing traders to visualize support and resistance levels symmetrically. This is useful for analyzing sideways or ranging markets without directional bias.
Up Direction : The gridlines are tilted upwards, starting from visible lows and extending toward the rounded level at the current price. By choosing Up , traders emphasize an upward sentiment, visualizing price action that aligns with rising trends. This option helps illustrate potential areas where pullbacks may occur, as well as how price might expand upwards in the current market context.
Down Direction : The gridlines are tilted downwards, starting from visible highs and extending toward the rounded level at the current price. Selecting Down allows traders to emphasize a downward sentiment, visualizing how price may expand downwards, which is particularly useful when analyzing downtrends or potential correction levels. The gridlines provide an illustrative view of how price interacts with lower levels during market declines.
Auto Direction : The gridlines automatically adjust their direction based on recent market trends. This adaptive option allows traders to visualize gridlines that dynamically change according to price action, making it suitable for evolving market conditions where the direction is uncertain. It’s useful for traders looking for an indicator that moves in sync with market shifts and doesn’t require manual adjustment.
Grid Type : Allows users to choose between 'Linear' or 'Fan' grid types. The Linear type creates evenly spaced gridlines that can be either horizontal or tilted, depending on the chosen direction setting, providing a straightforward view of price levels. The Fan type radiates lines from a central point, offering a more dynamic perspective for analyzing price expansions relative to the current price. These grid types introduce experimental visualizations influenced by chart properties, including visible highs, lows, and the current price. Regardless of the configuration, the gridlines will always end at the current bar, which represents a rounded price level, ensuring consistency in how key price areas are displayed.
Extend : This setting allows gridlines to be projected into the future, helping traders see potential levels beyond the current bar. When enabled, the behavior of the extended lines varies based on the selected grid type and direction. For Neutral and Horizontal Linear settings, the extended gridlines maintain their round-number alignment indefinitely. However, for Up , Down , or Auto directions, the angle of the extended gridlines can change dynamically based on the chart’s visible high and low or the latest price action. As a result, extended lines may not continue to align with round-number levels beyond the current bar, reflecting instead the current trend and sentiment of the market. Regardless of direction, extended gridlines remain consistently spaced and either parallel or evenly distributed, ensuring a structured visual representation.
Color Settings : Users can customize the colors for resistance, support, and minor gridlines at the current price. This helps in visually distinguishing between different grid types and their significance on the chart.
Color Options
These configuration options make the Rounded Grid Levels indicator a versatile tool for traders looking to customize their charts based on their personal trading strategies and analytical preferences.
🖼️ CHART EXAMPLES 🖼️
The following chart examples illustrate different configurations available in the Rounded Grid Levels indicator. These examples show how variations in grid type, direction, and rounding step settings impact the visualization of price levels. Traders may find that smaller rounding steps are more effective on lower time frames, where precision is key, whereas larger rounding steps help to reduce clutter and highlight key levels on higher time frames. Each image includes a caption to explain the specific configuration used, helping users better understand how to apply these settings in different market conditions.
Smaller Rounding Step (100) : With a smaller rounding step, the gridlines are spaced closely together. This setting is particularly useful for lower time frames where price action is more granular and finer details are needed. It allows traders to track price interactions at narrower levels, but on higher time frames, it may lead to clutter and exceed Pine Script's 500-line limit.
Larger Rounding Step (1000) : With a larger rounding step, the gridlines are spaced farther apart. This visualization is better suited for higher time frames or broader market overviews, allowing users to focus on major psychological levels without overloading the chart. On lower time frames, this may result in fewer actionable levels, but it helps in maintaining clarity and staying within Pine Script's line limit.
Linear Grid Type, Neutral Direction (Traditional Rounded Price Levels) : The Linear gridlines are displayed in a neutral fashion, representing traditional round-number levels with consistent spacing above and below the current price. This layout helps visualize key psychological price levels over time in a straightforward manner.
Linear Grid Type, Down Direction : The Linear gridlines are tilted downwards, remaining parallel and ending at the rounded level at the current price. This setup emphasizes downward market sentiment, allowing traders to visualize price expansion towards lower levels, which is useful when analyzing downtrends or potential correction levels.
Linear Grid Type, Down Direction : The Linear gridlines are tilted downwards, extending from the current price to lower levels. Useful for observing downtrending price movements and visualizing pullback areas during uptrends.
Linear Grid Type, Auto Direction : The Linear gridlines adjust dynamically, tilting either upwards or downwards to align with recent price trends, remaining parallel and ending at the rounded level at the current price. This configuration reflects the current market sentiment and offers traders a flexible way to observe price dynamics as they develop in real time.
Fan Grid Type, Neutral Direction : The fan-shaped gridlines radiate symmetrically from a central point, ending at the rounded level at the current price. This configuration provides an unbiased view of price action, giving traders a balanced visualization of rounded levels without directional influence.
Fan Grid Type, Up Direction : The fan-shaped gridlines originate from lower visible price points and radiate upwards, ending at the rounded level at the current price. This layout helps visualize potential price expansion to higher levels, offering insights into upward momentum while maintaining a dynamic and evolving perspective on market conditions.
Fan Grid Type, Down Direction : The fan-shaped gridlines originate from higher visible price points and radiate downwards, ending at the rounded level at the current price. This setup is particularly useful for observing potential price expansion towards lower levels, illustrating areas where the price might extend during a downtrend.
Fan Grid Type, Auto Direction : The fan-shaped gridlines dynamically adjust, originating from visible chart points based on the current market trend, and radiate outward, ending at the rounded level at the current price. This adaptive visualization offers a continuously evolving representation that aligns with changing market sentiment, helping traders assess price expansion dynamically.
📊 SUMMARY 📊
The Rounded Grid Levels indicator helps traders highlight important round-number price levels on their charts, providing a dynamic way to visualize these psychological areas. With customizable gridline options—including traditional, tilted, and fan-shaped styles—users can adapt the indicator to suit their analysis needs. The gridlines adjust with chart zoom or scale, offering a flexible tool for observing price action, without providing specific trading signals or predictions.
⚙️ COMPATIBILITY AND LIMITATIONS ⚙️
Asset Compatibility :
The Rounded Grid Levels indicator is compatible with all asset classes, including cryptocurrencies, forex, stocks, and commodities. Users should adjust both the Rounding Step and the Major Grid settings to ensure the correct scale is used for the specific asset. This adjustment ensures that the most relevant round price levels are displayed effectively regardless of the instrument being analyzed. For instance, when analyzing BTCUSD, a higher Rounding Step may be needed compared to forex pairs like EURUSD, and the Major Grid value should also be adjusted to appropriately emphasize significant levels.
Line Limitations in Pine Script :
The Rounded Grid Levels indicator is subject to Pine Script's 500-line limit. This means that it cannot draw more than 500 gridlines on the chart at any given time. The number of gridlines depends directly on the chosen Rounding Step . If the steps are too small, the gridlines will be spaced too closely, causing the indicator to quickly reach the line limit. For example, if Ethereum is trading around $2,500, a Rounding Step of 100 might be appropriate, but a step of 1.00 would create too many gridlines, exceeding Pine Script's limit. Users should consider appropriate settings to avoid running into this constraint.
Runtime Error Considerations
When using the Rounded Grid Levels indicator, users might encounter a runtime error in specific scenarios. This typically happens if the Rounding Step is set too small, causing the indicator to exceed Pine Script's line limit or take too long to process. This can often occur when switching between charts that have significantly different price ranges. Since the Rounding Step requires flexibility to work with a wide variety of assets—ranging from decimals to thousands—it is not practically limited within the script itself. If a runtime error occurs, the recommended solution is to increase the Rounding Step to a larger value that better matches the current asset's price range.
Runtime Error: If the Rounding Step is too small for the current asset or chart, the indicator may generate a runtime error. Users should increase the Rounding Step to ensure proper visualization.
⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️
The Rounded Grid Levels indicator is not designed as a predictive tool. While it extends gridlines into the future, this extension is purely for visual continuity and does not imply any forecast of future price movements. The primary function of this indicator is to help users visualize significant round number price levels.
The gridlines adjust dynamically based on the visible chart range, ensuring that the most relevant round price levels are displayed. This behavior allows the indicator to adapt to your current view of the market, but it should not be used to predict price movements. The indicator is intended as a visual aid and should be used alongside other tools in a comprehensive market analysis approach.
While gridlines may align with significant price levels in hindsight, they should not be interpreted as indicators of future price movements. Traders are encouraged to adjust settings based on their strategy and market conditions.

Confluence StrategyOverview of Confluence Strategy
The Confluence Strategy in trading refers to the combination of multiple technical indicators, support/resistance levels, and chart patterns to identify high-probability trading opportunities. The idea is that when several indicators agree on a price movement, the likelihood of that movement being successful increases.
Key Components
Technical Indicators:
Moving Averages (MA): Commonly used to determine the trend direction. Look for crossovers (e.g., the 50-day MA crossing above the 200-day MA).
Relative Strength Index (RSI): Helps identify overbought or oversold conditions. A reading above 70 may indicate overbought conditions, while below 30 suggests oversold.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): Useful for spotting changes in momentum. Look for MACD crossovers and divergence from price.
Support and Resistance Levels:
Identify key levels where price has historically reversed. These can be drawn from previous highs/lows, Fibonacci retracement levels, or psychological price levels.
Chart Patterns:
Patterns like head and shoulders, double tops/bottoms, or flags can indicate potential reversals or continuations in price.
Strategy Implementation
Set Up Your Chart:
Add the desired indicators (e.g., MA, RSI, MACD) to your TradingView chart.
Mark significant support and resistance levels.
Identify Confluence Points:
Look for situations where multiple indicators align. For instance, if the price is near a support level, the RSI is below 30, and the MACD shows bullish divergence, this may signal a buying opportunity.
Entry and Exit Points:
Entry: Place a trade when your confluence conditions are met. Use limit orders for better prices.
Exit: Set profit targets based on resistance levels or use trailing stops. Consider the risk-reward ratio to ensure your trades are favorable.
Risk Management:
Always implement stop-loss orders to protect against unexpected market moves. Position size should reflect your risk tolerance.
Example of a Confluence Trade
Setup:
Price approaches a strong support level.
RSI shows oversold conditions (below 30).
The 50-day MA is about to cross above the 200-day MA (bullish crossover).
Action:
Enter a long position as the conditions align.
Set a stop loss just below the support level and a take profit at the next resistance level.
Conclusion
The Confluence Strategy can significantly enhance trading accuracy by ensuring that multiple indicators support a trade decision. Traders on TradingView can customize their indicators and charts to fit their personal trading styles, making it a flexible approach to technical analysis.

Atlantean Bitcoin Weekly Market Condition - Top/Bottom BTC Overview:
The "Atlantean Bitcoin Weekly Market Condition Detector - Top/Bottom BTC" is a specialized TradingView indicator designed to identify significant turning points in the Bitcoin market on a weekly basis. By analyzing long-term and short-term moving averages across two distinct resolutions, this indicator provides traders with valuable insights into potential market bottoms and tops, as well as the initiation of bull markets.
Key Features:
Market Bottom Detection: The script uses a combination of a simple moving average (SMA) and an exponential moving average (EMA) calculated over long and short periods to identify potential market bottoms. When these conditions are met, the script signals a "Market Bottom" label on the chart, indicating a possible buying opportunity.
Bull Market Start Indicator: When the short-term EMA crosses above the long-term SMA, it signals the beginning of a bull market. This is marked by a "Bull Market Start" label on the chart, helping traders to prepare for potential market upswings.
Market Top Detection: The script identifies potential market tops by analyzing the crossunder of long and short-term moving averages. A "Market Top" label is plotted, suggesting a potential selling point.
Customizable Moving Averages Display: Users can choose to display the moving averages used for detecting market tops and bottoms, providing additional insights into market conditions.
How It Works: The indicator operates by monitoring the interactions between the specified moving averages:
Market Bottom: Detected when the long-term SMA (adjusted by a factor of 0.745) crosses over the short-term EMA.
Bull Market Start: Detected when the short-term EMA crosses above the long-term SMA.
Market Top: Detected when the long-term SMA (adjusted by a factor of 2) crosses under the short-term SMA.
These conditions are highlighted on the chart, allowing traders to visualize significant market events and make informed decisions.
Intended Use: This indicator is best used on weekly Bitcoin charts. It’s designed to provide long-term market insights rather than short-term trading signals. Traders can use this tool to identify strategic entry and exit points during major market cycles. The optional display of moving averages can further enhance understanding of market dynamics.
Originality and Utility: Unlike many other indicators, this script not only highlights traditional market tops and bottoms but also identifies the aggressive start of bull markets, offering a comprehensive view of market conditions. The unique combination of adjusted moving averages makes this script a valuable tool for long-term Bitcoin traders.
Disclaimer: The signals provided by this indicator are based on historical data and mathematical calculations. They do not guarantee future market performance. Traders should use this tool as part of a broader trading strategy and consider other factors before making trading decisions. Not financial advice.
Happy Trading!
