Bearish BreakerDescription:
The Bearish Breaker is designed to detect significant bearish candles that meet specific customizable conditions, allowing traders to easily identify potential sell signals or strong downtrends. This indicator highlights bearish candles based on size, close position within the candle's range, and other specific criteria, with options to plot Fibonacci levels, a stop loss line, and dollar loss estimation.
Key Features:
1. Customizable Candle Highlighting Conditions:
Highlights candles that are bearish and whose body is greater than a user-defined multiple of the average candle body size over a specified period.
2.Checks if the candle’s close is within a customizable percentage from the bottom of the candle’s range (default is 35%).
3. Ensures the close is lower than the lows of the previous two candles.
Visual Markings:
1. A plus sign appears below large bearish candles that meet the highlighting criteria.
2. Optionally plots a line at the low of the previous candle, labeled as "FVG" (Fair Value Gap).
3. Fibonacci Levels:
Plots 61.8% and 50% Fibonacci levels from the low to high of the highlighted candle.
4. Provides options to show/hide labels and adjust line colors.
5. Shaded Area:
Fills the area between the 50% and 61.8% levels with customizable color and transparency.
Stop Loss and Dollar Calculation:
1. Calculates a stop loss level, set a user-defined number of ticks above the high of the highlighted candle.
2. Displays a label with the potential dollar loss from the "FVG" to the stop loss line, using a specified dollar value per tick.
How To Use
1. Highlight Conditions: Adjust parameters like the average body length, threshold multiplier, and close percentage to fine-tune the bearish candle detection. typically I like to use the 4-6 body length with a 1.5 multiplier
2. Visual Elements: Toggle labels, colors, and transparency of Fibonacci and FVG lines, allowing you to customize the display for clarity.
3. Risk Management: Set the dollar value per tick and stop loss distance (in ticks) to display potential risk for your specific instrument , for example dollar per tick on NQ is $5 , ES is $12.50, CL is $10
4. Alerts:
An alert can be set to trigger each time a large bearish candle forms and meets all conditions, helping you stay notified of potential bearish momentum shifts.
5. Parameters:
Threshold Multiplier: Adjusts the size threshold for highlighting a bearish candle.
Close Percent in Range: Sets how close to the bottom of the candle’s range the close must be (0-100%). I like the candle to close in the lower 75 percent of the candle.
6. Stop Loss Ticks Above High: Controls how far above the high of the highlighted candle to place the stop loss.
7. Dollar Value per Tick: Calculates potential dollar loss between the FVG level and stop loss based on the asset’s tick value.
8. To trade this setup I like to wait for the first 1-2 candles after the highlighted breaker candle to pull back into the shaded area for a short position and target the low of the breaker candle or a 2-1 risk to reward.
Ideal For:
This indicator is ideal for traders looking to identify strong bearish momentum, manage risk visually, and use Fibonacci and fair value gaps on large bearish candles as potential areas for short entries with suggested stop loss areas and target profits.

ICT Unicorn | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new ICT Unicorn Indicator! This indicator is built around the ICT's "Unicorn" strategy. The strategy uses Breaker Blocks and Fair Value Gaps for entry confirmation. For more information about the process, check the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
Features of the new ICT Unicorn Indicator :
Implementation of ICT's Unicorn Strategy
Toggleable Retracement Entry Method
3 Different TP / SL Methods
Customizable Execution Settings
Customizable Backtesting Dashboard
Alerts for Buy, Sell, TP & SL Signals
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The ICT Unicorn entry model merges the concepts of Breaker Blocks and Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), offering a distinct method for identifying trade opportunities. By integrating these two elements, we can have a position entry with stop-loss and take-profit targets on the potential support & resistance zones. This model is particularly reliable for trade entry, as it combines two powerful entry techniques.
An ICT Unicorn Model consists of a FVG which is overlapping with a Breaker Block of the same type. Here is an example :
When a FVG overlaps with a Breaker Block of the same type, the indicator gives a Buy or Sell signal depending on the FVG type (Bullish & Bearish). If the "Require Retracement" option is enabled in the settings, the signals are not given immediately. Instead, the current price of the ticker will need to touch the FVG once more before the signals are given.
After the Buy or Sell signal, the indicator immediately draws the take-profit (TP) and stop-loss (SL) targets. The indicator has three different TP & SL modes, explained in the "Settings" section of this write-up.
You can set up alerts for entry and TP & SL signals, and also check the current performance of the indicator and adjust the settings accordingly to the current ticker using the backtesting dashboard.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
This indicator is an all-in-one suit for the ICT's Unicorn concept. It's capable of plotting the strategy, giving signals, a backtesting dashboard and alerts feature. Different and customizable algorithm modes will help the trader fine-tune the indicator for the asset they are currently trading. Three different TP / SL modes are available to suit your needs. The backtesting dashboard allows you to see how your settings perform in the current ticker. You can also set up alerts to get informed when the strategy is executable for different tickers.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
FVG Detection Sensitivity -> You may select between Low, Normal, High or Extreme FVG detection sensitivity. This will essentially determine the size of the spotted FVGs, with lower sensitivies resulting in spotting bigger FVGs, and higher sensitivies resulting in spotting all sizes of FVGs.
Swing Length -> Swing length is used when finding order block formations. Smaller values will result in finding smaller order & breaker blocks.
Require Retracement ->
a) Disabled : The entry signal is given immediately once a FVG overlaps with a Breaker Block of the same type.
b) Enabled : The current price of the ticker will need to touch the FVG once more before the entry signal is given.
2. TP / SL
TP / SL Method ->
a) Unicorn : This is the default option. The SL will be set to the lowest low of the last 100 bars with an extra offset in a Buy signal. For Sell signals, the SL will be set to the highest high of the last 100 bars with an extra offset. The TP is then set to a value using the SL value and maintaining a risk-reward ratio.
b) Dynamic: The TP / SL zones will be auto-determined by the algorithm based on the Average True Range (ATR) of the current ticker.
c) Fixed : You can adjust the exact TP / SL ratios from the settings below.
Dynamic Risk -> The risk you're willing to take if "Dynamic" TP / SL Method is selected. Higher risk usually means a better winrate at the cost of losing more if the strategy fails. This setting is has a crucial effect on the performance of the indicator, as different tickers may have different volatility so the indicator may have increased performance when this setting is correctly adjusted.
Market Structure & Liquidity: CHoCHs+Nested Pivots+FVGs+Sweeps//Purpose:
This indicator combines several tools to help traders track and interpret price action/market structure; It can be divided into 4 parts;
1. CHoCHs, 2. Nested Pivot highs & lows, 3. Grade sweeps, 4. FVGs.
This gives the trader a toolkit for determining market structure and shifts in market structure to help determine a bull or bear bias, whether it be short-term, med-term or long-term.
This indicator also helps traders in determining liquidity targets: wether they be voids/gaps (FVGS) or old highs/lows+ typical sweep distances.
Finally, the incorporation of HTF CHoCH levels printing on your LTF chart helps keep the bigger picture in mind and tells traders at a glance if they're above of below Custom HTF CHoCH up or CHoCH down (these HTF CHoCHs can be anything from Hourly up to Monthly).
//Nomenclature:
CHoCH = Change of Character
STH/STL = short-term high or low
MTH/MTL = medium-term high or low
LTH/LTL = long-term high or low
FVG = Fair value gap
CE = consequent encroachement (the midline of a FVG)
~~~ The Four components of this indicator ~~~
1. CHoCHs:
•Best demonstrated in the below charts. This was a method taught to me by @Icecold_crypto. Once a 3 bar fractal pivot gets broken, we count backwards the consecutive higher lows or lower highs, then identify the CHoCH as the opposite end of the candle which ended the consecutive backwards count. This CHoCH (UP or DOWN) then becomes a level to watch, if price passes through it in earnest a trader would consider shifting their bias as market structure is deemed to have shifted.
•HTF CHoCHs: Option to print Higher time frame chochs (default on) of user input HTF. This prints only the last UP choch and only the last DOWN choch from the input HTF. Solid line by default so as to distinguish from local/chart-time CHoCHs. Can be any Higher timeframe you like.
•Show on table: toggle on show table(above/below) option to show in table cells (top right): is price above the latest HTF UP choch, or is price below HTF DOWN choch (or is it sat between the two, in a state of 'uncertainty').
•Most recent CHoCHs which have not been met by price will extend 10 bars into the future.
• USER INPUTS: overall setting: SHOW CHOCHS | Set bars lookback number to limit historical Chochs. Set Live CHoCHs number to control the number of active recent chochs unmet by price. Toggle shrink chochs once hit to declutter chart and minimize old chochs to their origin bars. Set Multi-timeframe color override : to make Color choices auto-set to your preference color for each of 1m, 5m, 15m, H, 4H, D, W, M (where up and down are same color, but 'up' icon for up chochs and down icon for down chochs remain printing as normal)
2. Nested Pivot Highs & Lows; aka 'Pivot Highs & Lows (ST/MT/LT)'
•Based on a seperate, longer lookback/lookforward pivot calculation. Identifies Pivot highs and lows with a 'spikeyness' filter (filtering out weak/rounded/unimpressive Pivot highs/lows)
•by 'nested' I mean that the pivot highs are graded based on whether a pivot high sits between two lower pivot highs or vice versa.
--for example: STH = normal pivot. MTH is pivot high with a lower STH on either side. LTH is a pivot high with a lower MTH on either side. Same applies to pivot lows (STL/MTL/LTL)
•This is a useful way to measure the significance of a high or low. Both in terms of how much it might be typically swept by (see later) and what it would imply for HTF bias were we to break through it in earnest (more than just a sweep).
• USER INPUTS: overall setting: show pivot highs & lows | Bars lookback (historical pivots to show) | Pivots: lookback/lookforward length (determines the scale of your pivot highs/lows) | toggle on/off Apply 'Spikeyness' filter (filters out smooth/unimpressive pivot highs/lows). Set Spikeyness index (determines the strength of this filter if turned on) | Individually toggle on each of STH, MTH, LTH, STL, MTL, LTL along with their label text type , and size . Toggle on/off line for each of these Pivot highs/lows. | Set label spacer (atr multiples above / below) | set line style and line width
3. Grade Sweeps:
•These are directly related to the nested pivots described above. Most assets will have a typical sweep distance. I've added some of my expected sweeps for various assets in the indicator tooltips.
--i.e. Eur/Usd 10-20-30 pips is a typical 'grade' sweep. S&P HKEX:5 - HKEX:10 is a typical grade sweep.
•Each of the ST/MT/LT pivot highs and lows have optional user defined grade sweep boxes which paint above until filled (or user option for historical filled boxes to remain).
•Numbers entered into sweep input boxes are auto converted into appropriate units (i.e. pips for FX, $ or 'handles' for indices, $ for Crypto. Very low $ units can be input for low unit value crypto altcoins.
• USER INPUTS: overall setting: Show sweep boxes | individually select colors of each of STH, MTH, LTH, STL, MTL, LTL sweep boxes. | Set Grade sweep ($/pips) number for each of ST, MT, LT. This auto converts between pips and $ (i.e. FX vs Indices/Crypto). Can be a float as small or large as you like ($0.000001 to HKEX:1000 ). | Set box text position (horizontal & vertical) and size , and color . | Set Box width (bars) (for non extended/ non-auto-terminating at price boxes). | toggle on/off Extend boxes/lines right . | Toggle on/off Shrink Grade sweeps on fill (they will disappear in realtime when filled/passed through)
4. FVGs:
•Fair Value gaps. Represent 'naked' candle bodies where the wicks to either side do not meet, forming a 'gap' of sorts which has a tendency to fill, or at least to fill to midline (CE).
•These are ICT concepts. 'UP' FVGS are known as BISIs (Buyside imbalance, sellside inefficiency); 'DOWN' FVGs are known as SIBIs (Sellside imbalance, buyside inefficiency).
• USER INPUTS: overall setting: show FVGs | Bars lookback (history). | Choose to display: 'UP' FVGs (BISI) and/or 'DOWN FVGs (SIBI) . Choose to display the midline: CE , the color and the line style . Choose threshold: use CE (as opposed to Full Fill) |toggle on/off Shrink FVG on fill (CE hit or Full fill) (declutter chart/see backtesting history)
////••Alerts (general notes & cautionary notes)::
•Alerts are optional for most of the levels printed by this indicator. Set them via the three dots on indicator status line.
•Due to dynamic repainting of levels, alerts should be used with caution. Best use these alerts either for Higher time frame levels, or when closely monitoring price.
--E.g. You may set an alert for down-fill of the latest FVG below; but price will keep marching up; form a newer/higher FVG, and the alert will trigger on THAT FVG being down-filled (not the original)
•Available Alerts:
-FVG(BISI) cross above threshold(CE or full-fill; user choice). Same with FVG(SIBI).
-HTF last CHoCH down, cross below | HTF last CHoCH up, cross above.
-last CHoCH down, cross below | last CHoCH up, cross above.
-LTH cross above, MTH cross above, STH cross above | LTL cross below, MTL cross below, STL cross below.
////••Formatting (general)::
•all table text color is set from the 'Pivot highs & Lows (ST, MT, LT)' section (for those of you who prefer black backgrounds).
•User choice of Line-style, line color, line width. Same with Boxes. Icon choice for chochs. Char or label text choices for ST/MT/LT pivot highs & lows.
////••User Inputs (general):
•Each of the 4 components of this indicator can be easily toggled on/off independently.
•Quite a lot of options and toggle boxes, as described in full above. Please take your time and read through all the tooltips (hover over '!' icon) to get an idea of formatting options.
•Several Lookback periods defined in bars to control how much history is shown for each of the 4 components of this indicator.
•'Shrink on fill' settings on FVGs and CHoCHs: Basically a way to declutter chart; toggle on/off depending on if you're backtesting or reading live price action.
•Table Display: applies to ST/MT/LT pivot highs and to HTF CHoCHs; Toggle table on or off (in part or in full)
////••Credits:
•Credit to ICT (Inner Circle Trader) for some of the concepts used in this indicator (FVGS & CEs; Grade sweeps).
•Credit to @Icecold_crypto for the specific and novel concept of identifying CHoCHs in a simple, objective and effective manner (as demonstrated in the 1st chart below).

ICT Macro Zone Boxes w/ Individual H/L Tracking v3.1ICT Macro Zones (Grey Box Version
This indicator dynamically highlights key intraday time-based macro sessions using a clean, minimalistic grey box overlay, helping traders align with institutional trading cycles. Inspired by ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts, it tracks real-time highs and lows for each session and optionally extends the zone box after the session ends — making it a precision tool for intraday setups, order flow analysis, and macro-level liquidity sweeps.
### 🔍 **What It Does**
- Plots **six predefined macro sessions** used in Smart Money Concepts:
- AM Macro (09:50–10:10)
- London Close (10:50–11:10)
- Lunch Macro (11:30–13:30)
- PM Macro (14:50–15:10)
- London SB (03:00–04:00)
- PM SB (15:00–16:00)
- Each zone:
- **Tracks high and low dynamically** throughout the session.
- **Draws a consistent grey shaded box** to visualize price boundaries.
- **Displays a label** at the first bar of the session (optional).
- **Optionally extends** the box to the right after the session closes.
### 🧠 **How It Works**
- Uses Pine Script arrays to define each session’s time window, label, and color.
- Detects session entry using `time()` within a New York timezone context.
- High/Low values are updated per bar inside the session window.
- Once a session ends, the box is optionally closed and fixed in place.
- All visual zones use a standardized grey tone for clarity and consistency across charts.
### 🛠️ **Settings**
- **Shade Zone High→Low:** Enable/disable the grey macro box.
- **Extend Box After Session:** Keep the zone visible after it ends.
- **Show Entry Label:** Display a label at the start of each session.
### 🎯 **Why This Script is Unique**
Unlike basic session markers or colored backgrounds, this tool:
- Focuses on **macro moments of liquidity and reversal**, not just open/close times.
- Uses **per-session logic** to individually track price behavior inside key time windows.
- Supports **real-time high/low tracking and clean zone drawing**, ideal for Smart Money and ICT-style strategies.
Perfect — based on your list, here's a **bundle-style description** that not only explains the function of each script but also shows how they **work together** in a Smart Money/ICT workflow. This kind of cross-script explanation is exactly what TradingView wants to see to justify closed-source mashups or interdependent tools.

Visualizing and aligning with prior session highs/lows for structure and context
2:30 [LuciTech]this is a technical analysis tool designed to highlight key price levels and patterns during a specific trading window, based on UK time (Europe/London). It overlays visual elements on the chart, including a 12 PM reference line, Buy Side Liquidity (BSL) and Sell Side Liquidity (SSL) levels, a highlighted 2:30 PM candle, and Engulfing Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). This indicator is intended for traders who focus on intraday price action and liquidity zones.
Features
The 12 PM Line displays a vertical line at 12:00 PM (UK time) to mark the start of the session. It’s customizable, allowing you to enable or disable it and adjust its color.
BSL/SSL Lines track the highest high (BSL) and lowest low (SSL) from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM (UK time). These lines extend horizontally until 3:30 PM, after which they remain static at their last recorded levels. You can customize them by enabling or disabling visibility, adjusting colors, choosing a line style (solid, dashed, or dotted), and setting the width.
The 2:30 PM Candle highlights the candle at 2:30 PM (UK time) with a distinct color. It’s customizable, with options to enable or disable it and change its color.
Engulfing FVG (Fair Value Gap) identifies bullish and bearish engulfing patterns with a gap from the prior candle’s range. It draws a shaded box over the FVG area, and you can customize it by enabling or disabling it and adjusting the box color.
How It Works
The indicator operates within a session starting at 12:00 PM (UK time). BSL/SSL levels update between 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM, with lines extending until 3:30 PM. After 3:30 PM, these lines freeze.
BSL/SSL lines show the highest price (BSL) and lowest price (SSL) reached during the 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM window. After 3:30 PM, they remain static, marking the final range boundaries.
The 2:30 PM candle emphasizes a key timestamp, often of interest to intraday traders.
Engulfing FVGs detect significant price gaps created by engulfing candles, which may indicate potential reversal or continuation zones.
Settings
12 PM Line Settings let you toggle visibility and set the line color.
BSL/SSL Line Settings allow you to toggle visibility, set BSL and SSL colors, choose a line style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted), and adjust width (1-4).
2:30 Candle Settings let you toggle visibility and set the candle color.
Engulfing FVG Settings allow you to toggle visibility and set the box color.
Interpretation
The 12 PM Line serves as a reference for the session start.
BSL/SSL Lines may act as potential support or resistance zones or highlight liquidity areas. After 3:30 PM, they remain static, showing the session’s final range.
The 2:30 PM Candle can be monitored for price action signals, such as reversals or breakouts.
Engulfing FVGs shaded areas may indicate imbalances in supply and demand, useful for identifying trade opportunities or stop-loss placement.
Notes
The timezone is set to Europe/London (UK time). Ensure your chart’s timezone aligns for accurate results.
This indicator is best used on intraday timeframes, such as 1-minute or 5-minute charts.
It provides visual aids for analysis and does not generate buy or sell signals on its own.
MMXM ICT [TradingFinder] Market Maker Model PO3 CHoCH/CSID + FVG🔵 Introduction
The MMXM Smart Money Reversal leverages key metrics such as SMT Divergence, Liquidity Sweep, HTF PD Array, Market Structure Shift (MSS) or (ChoCh), CISD, and Fair Value Gap (FVG) to identify critical turning points in the market. Designed for traders aiming to analyze the behavior of major market participants, this setup pinpoints strategic areas for making informed trading decisions.
The document introduces the MMXM model, a trading strategy that identifies market maker activity to predict price movements. The model operates across five distinct stages: original consolidation, price run, smart money reversal, accumulation/distribution, and completion. This systematic approach allows traders to differentiate between buyside and sellside curves, offering a structured framework for interpreting price action.
Market makers play a pivotal role in facilitating these movements by bridging liquidity gaps. They continuously quote bid (buy) and ask (sell) prices for assets, ensuring smooth trading conditions.
By maintaining liquidity, market makers prevent scenarios where buyers are left without sellers and vice versa, making their activity a cornerstone of the MMXM strategy.
SMT Divergence serves as the first signal of a potential trend reversal, arising from discrepancies between the movements of related assets or indices. This divergence is detected when two or more highly correlated assets or indices move in opposite directions, signaling a likely shift in market trends.
Liquidity Sweep occurs when the market targets liquidity in specific zones through false price movements. This process allows major market participants to execute their orders efficiently by collecting the necessary liquidity to enter or exit positions.
The HTF PD Array refers to premium and discount zones on higher timeframes. These zones highlight price levels where the market is in a premium (ideal for selling) or discount (ideal for buying). These areas are identified based on higher timeframe market behavior and guide traders toward lucrative opportunities.
Market Structure Shift (MSS), also referred to as ChoCh, indicates a change in market structure, often marked by breaking key support or resistance levels. This shift confirms the directional movement of the market, signaling the start of a new trend.
CISD (Change in State of Delivery) reflects a transition in price delivery mechanisms. Typically occurring after MSS, CISD confirms the continuation of price movement in the new direction.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) represents zones where price imbalance exists between buyers and sellers. These gaps often act as price targets for filling, offering traders opportunities for entry or exit.
By combining all these metrics, the Smart Money Reversal provides a comprehensive tool for analyzing market behavior and identifying key trading opportunities. It enables traders to anticipate the actions of major players and align their strategies accordingly.
MMBM :
MMSM :
🔵 How to Use
The Smart Money Reversal operates in two primary states: MMBM (Market Maker Buy Model) and MMSM (Market Maker Sell Model). Each state highlights critical structural changes in market trends, focusing on liquidity behavior and price reactions at key levels to offer precise and effective trading opportunities.
The MMXM model expands on this by identifying five distinct stages of market behavior: original consolidation, price run, smart money reversal, accumulation/distribution, and completion. These stages provide traders with a detailed roadmap for interpreting price action and anticipating market maker activity.
🟣 Market Maker Buy Model
In the MMBM state, the market transitions from a bearish trend to a bullish trend. Initially, SMT Divergence between related assets or indices reveals weaknesses in the bearish trend. Subsequently, a Liquidity Sweep collects liquidity from lower levels through false breakouts.
After this, the price reacts to discount zones identified in the HTF PD Array, where major market participants often execute buy orders. The market confirms the bullish trend with a Market Structure Shift (MSS) and a change in price delivery state (CISD). During this phase, an FVG emerges as a key trading opportunity. Traders can open long positions upon a pullback to this FVG zone, capitalizing on the bullish continuation.
🟣 Market Maker Sell Model
In the MMSM state, the market shifts from a bullish trend to a bearish trend. Here, SMT Divergence highlights weaknesses in the bullish trend. A Liquidity Sweep then gathers liquidity from higher levels.
The price reacts to premium zones identified in the HTF PD Array, where major sellers enter the market and reverse the price direction. A Market Structure Shift (MSS) and a change in delivery state (CISD) confirm the bearish trend. The FVG then acts as a target for the price. Traders can initiate short positions upon a pullback to this FVG zone, profiting from the bearish continuation.
Market makers actively bridge liquidity gaps throughout these stages, quoting continuous bid and ask prices for assets. This ensures that trades are executed seamlessly, even during periods of low market participation, and supports the structured progression of the MMXM model.
The price’s reaction to FVG zones in both states provides traders with opportunities to reduce risk and enhance precision. These pullbacks to FVG zones not only represent optimal entry points but also create avenues for maximizing returns with minimal risk.

This approach empowers traders to analyze the behavior of major market participants and adopt professional strategies for entry and exit.
By employing this analytical framework, traders can reduce errors, make more informed decisions, and capitalize on profitable opportunities. The Smart Money Reversal focuses on liquidity behavior and structural changes, making it an indispensable tool for financial market success.
RSI TrendsThis TradingView script combines RSI trend analysis with FVG (Fair Value Gap) detection to identify potential buy and sell opportunities in financial markets. The script is customizable and provides extensive visual feedback directly on the chart, enhancing both strategic entry and exit points for traders. Raw code of FVG was taken from LuxAlgo
Features
FVG Detection: Identifies Fair Value Gaps (FVG), and provides options to display these gaps based on user settings.
RSI Trend Bars: Utilizes the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to paint bars indicating overbought and oversold conditions. This helps traders understand current market sentiment and potential reversal points.
Customizable Settings: Users can customize the timeframe, FVG types, and RSI thresholds. This flexibility allows the script to be adapted to various trading styles and timeframes.
Historical Analysis: Option to display or hide historical FVGs, helping users analyze past market behavior without cluttering the chart.
Alert System: Integrated alerts for detected buy and sell signals based on RSI conditions and the presence or absence of FVGs. This feature notifies traders of potential trading opportunities.
Trading Signals
Buy, Buy+, and Buy++ Signals: These signals are triggered based on overbought conditions without corresponding bearish FVG presence, with increasing stringency for higher tiers of buy signals.
Sell, Sell+, and Sell++ Signals: These signals are based on oversold conditions devoid of bullish FVG presence, with each subsequent plus sign indicating a higher level of confirmation required to trigger the signal.
Use Case
Ideal for traders who rely on technical analysis and are looking for an automated way to spot potential buy and sell points using both price action gaps and momentum indicators.
Customization
All input parameters are adjustable directly from the indicator's settings panel, making it easy to tailor the tool to your trading needs and preferences.
ICT Silver Bullet with signals
The "ICT Silver Bullet with signals" indicator (inspired from the lectures of "The Inner Circle Trader" (ICT)),
goes a step further than the ICT Silver Bullet publication, which I made for LuxAlgo :
• uses HTF candles
• instant drawing of Support & Resistance (S/R) lines when price retraces into FVG
• NWOG - NDOG S/R lines
• signals
The Silver Bullet (SB) window which is a specific 1-hour interval where a Fair Value Gap (FVG) pattern can be formed.
When price goes back to the FVG, without breaking it, Support & Resistance lines will be drawn immediately.
There are 3 different Silver Bullet windows (New York local time):
The London Open Silver Bullet (03 AM — 04 AM ~ 03:00 — 04:00)
The AM Session Silver Bullet (10 AM — 11 AM ~ 10:00 — 11:00)
The PM Session Silver Bullet (02 PM — 03 PM ~ 14:00 — 15:00)
🔶 USAGE
This technique can visualise potential support/resistance lines, which can be used as targets.
The script contains 2 main components:
• forming of a Fair Value Gap (FVG)
• drawing support/resistance (S/R) lines
🔹 Forming of FVG
When HTF candles forms an FVG, the FVG will be drawn at the end (close) of the last HTF candle.
To make it easier to visualise the 2 HTF candles that form the FVG, you can enable
• SHOW -> HTF candles
During the SB session, when a FVG is broken, the FVG will be removed, together with its S/R lines.
The same goes if price did not retrace into FVG at the last bar of the SB session
Only exception is when "Remove broken FVG's" is disabled.
In this case a FVG can be broken, as long as price bounces back before the end of the SB session, it will remain to be visible:
🔹 Drawing support/resistance lines
S/R target lines are drawn immediately when price retraces into the FVG.
They will remain updated until they are broken (target hit)
Potential S/R lines are formed by:
• previous swings (swing settings (left-right)
• New Week Opening Gap (NWOG): close on Friday - weekly open
• New Day Opening Gap (NWOG): close previous day - current daily open
Only non-broken lines are included.
Broken =
• minimum of open and close below potential S/R line
• maximum of open and close above potential S/R line
NDOG lines are coloured fuchsia (as in the ICT lectures), NWOG are coloured white (darkmode) or black (lightmode ~ ICT lectures)
Swing line colour can be set as desired.
Here S/R includes NDOG lines:
The same situation, with "Extend Target-lines to their source" enabled:
Here with NWOG lines:
This publication contains a "Minimum Trade Framework (mTFW)", which represents the best-case expected price delivery, this is not your actual trade entry - exit range.
• 40 ticks for index futures or indices
• 15 pips for Forex pairs
The minimum distance (if applicable) can be shown by enabling "Show" - "Minimum Trade Framework" -> blue arrow from close to mTFW
Potential S/R lines needs to be higher (bullish) or lower (bearish) than mTFW.
🔶 SETTINGS
(check USAGE for deeper insights and explanation)
🔹 Only last x bars: when enabled, the script will do most of the calculations at these last x candles, potentially this can speeds calculations.
🔹 Swing settings (left-right): Sets the length, which will set the lookback period/sensitivity of the ZigZag patterns (which directs the trend and points for S/R lines)
🔹 FVG
HTF (minutes): 1-15 minutes.
• When the chart TF is equal of higher, calculations are based on current TF.
• Chart TF > 15 minutes will give the warning: "Please use a timeframe <= 15 minutes".
Remove broken FVG's: when enabled the script will remove FVG (+ associated S/R lines) immediately when FVG is broken at opposite direction.
FVG's still will be automatically removed at the end of the SB session, when there is no retrace, together with associated S/R lines,...
~ trend: Only include FVG in the same direction as the current trend
Note -> when set 'right' (swing setting) rather high ( > 3), he trend change will be delayed as well (default 'right' max 5)
Extend: extend FVG to max right side of SB session
🔹 Targets – support/resistance
Extend Target-lines to their source: extend lines to their origin
Colours (Swing S/R lines)
🔹 Show
SB session: show lines and labels of SB session (+ colour)
• Labels can be disabled separately in the 'Style' section, colour is set at the 'Inputs' section
Trend : Show trend (ZigZag, coloured ~ trend)
HTF candles: Show the 2 HTF candles that form the FVG
Minimum Trade Framework: blue arrow (if applicable)
🔶 ALERTS
There are 4 signals provided (bullish/bearish):
FVG Formed
FVG Retrace
Target reached
FVG cancelled
You can choose between dynamic alerts - only 1 alert needs to be set for all signals, or you can set specific alerts as desired.

ICT iFVG Detector and Alert [by ote618]Description
This script detects ICT - fair value gaps (FVG) formed by price gaps between Candle 1 and Candle 3, then monitors the next 5 candles for an inverse fair value gap (iFVG).
What It Detects
Bullish FVG: When Candle 1 high is below Candle 3 low (BISI)
Bearish FVG: When Candle 1 low is above Candle 3 high (SIBI)
Once an FVG is detected, the script checks the next 5 candles:
A Bullish FVG becomes a Bearish IFVG if price closes below Candle 1 high
A Bearish FVG becomes a Bullish IFVG if price closes above Candle 1 low
Only the first bar that validates the FVG triggers the transition to an IFVG.
Visual Output
A shaded rectangle is plotted to mark the original FVG zone (from Candle 1 to Candle 3)
Color-coded:
Red for Bearish IFVG (validated Bullish IG)
Green for Bullish IFVG (validated Bearish IG)
The rectangle extends from Candle 1 to the validating bar
Alerts
You can receive alerts when an FVG becomes an IFVG:
Configurable to fire only on selected timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, 60m)
Alerts include the direction and the chart timeframe
Settings
Enable Alerts For Timeframe: Choose which timeframe(s) trigger alerts
This tool helps traders identify inverse FVGs (iFVG), a useful ICT concept.
First FVG Custom Time RangeFirst FVG — Opening Range Fair Value Gap Detector
Smart Money Opening Imbalance Strategy Tool
This script automatically detects and highlights the first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms between 9:30 and 10:00 AM Eastern Time (New York session open) — a critical period often referred to as the Opening Range. It’s designed for Smart Money traders looking to isolate early-morning inefficiencies that may influence market behavior throughout the trading day.
🔍 What This Script Does:
Automatically Detects the First FVG in the Opening Range
Scans price action between 9:30 and 10:00 AM ET and identifies the first valid bullish or bearish FVG that forms.
Only one FVG is shown per day — ensuring a clean, focused view.
Draws a Visual Zone
Once detected, the FVG zone is extended forward on the chart (customizable duration).
A labeled zone helps users track how price reacts to it throughout the session.
Optional Retest Alerts
Alerts you when price re-enters the zone — a potential reaction point used by SMC traders.
Customization Options
Set your preferred session time window
Adjust zone duration (in bars)
Customize label font size, colors, and visibility
Enable/disable alert on retest
📈 Why the First FVG Matters:
Time-Sensitive Setup: The first FVG typically forms no earlier than 9:31 AM ET and represents a potential “time distortion” or imbalance zone created by aggressive market participants during the open.
Behavioral Study: Many traders journal how price behaves around this zone each day — whether it acts as support, resistance, or gets traded through later in the session.
Predictive Value: Observing how this zone is respected or broken can provide anticipatory insight into intraday price action, rather than reactive analysis.
Great for New Traders: This opening FVG is often recommended as a starting reference point for building trade models and understanding how institutional imbalances unfold.
🚀 What Makes It Unique:
This tool doesn’t spam your chart with every FVG. It laser-focuses on a single, time-bound zone backed by institutional logic — the first presented imbalance of the day during the opening range.
Use it to:
Monitor price behavior around early inefficiencies
Plan journal entries and pattern recognition
Align intraday setups with a high-probability SMC model
Whether you’re scalping, journaling market structure, or refining entries based on liquidity behavior — this script helps you make the first 30 minutes count.
Math by Thomas FVG📌 Math by Thomas FVG – Fair Value Gap Detector
Overview:
The Math by Thomas FVG indicator automatically detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) using a three-candle logic. FVGs represent price inefficiencies where the first candle’s high/low does not overlap with the third candle’s low/high, creating a gap. This tool helps traders identify potential reversal or continuation zones, providing valuable insights into market structure and price action.
🔹 How It Works:
Bullish FVG:
Occurs when the current candle’s low is above the high of the candle two bars ago.
A green-shaded box marks the bullish FVG, highlighting a potential support zone.
Bearish FVG:
Occurs when the current candle’s high is below the low of the candle two bars ago.
A red-shaded box marks the bearish FVG, indicating a potential resistance zone.
Gap Filling Logic:
The indicator automatically removes FVGs once they are filled by price action, keeping the chart clean and relevant.
Bullish FVGs are removed when close ≤ the box's top.
Bearish FVGs are removed when close ≥ the box's bottom.
⚙️ Customization Options:
Bullish FVG Color: Choose the color for bullish FVGs.
Bearish FVG Color: Choose the color for bearish FVGs.
Max Box Count: The indicator dynamically manages up to 50 FVG boxes, ensuring optimal chart performance.
✅ Use Cases:
Identify price inefficiencies for potential entries and exits.
Combine with Order Blocks, support/resistance, or volume analysis for confirmation.
Useful for Smart Money Concept (SMC) and price action traders.
🔥 Enhance your trading accuracy with the Math by Thomas FVG indicator and gain insights into price inefficiencies! 🚀
ICT Order Blocks v2 (Debug)Josh has a very large PP xD
Understanding Order Blocks (OBs) - The ICT Perspective
This document delves into the concept of Order Blocks (OBs) from the perspective of the ICT methodology. It outlines what OBs are, their significance in trading, and how the "ICT Order Blocks v2 (Refined)" indicator functions to identify and visualize these critical price levels. By understanding OBs, traders can better navigate market movements and make informed decisions based on institutional trading behavior.
What is an Order Block (OB)?
Within ICT methodology, an Order Block represents a specific price candle where significant buying or selling interest from institutions (Smart Money) is believed to have occurred. They are potential areas where price might return and react.
Bullish Order Block: Typically the last down-closing candle before a strong, impulsive upward move (displacement). It suggests institutions may have absorbed selling pressure and initiated long positions here.
Bearish Order Block: Typically the last up-closing candle before a strong, impulsive downward move (displacement). It suggests institutions may have distributed long positions or initiated short positions here.
Why are OBs Significant (ICT View)?
Institutional Footprint: They mark potential zones of large order execution.
Support/Resistance: Unmitigated OBs can act as sensitive price levels where reactions are expected. Bullish OBs may provide support; Bearish OBs may provide resistance.
Origin of Moves: They often mark the origin point of significant price swings.
Liquidity Engineering: Institutions might drive price back to OBs to mitigate earlier positions or to engineer liquidity before continuing a move.
Common Refinements
ICT often emphasizes higher probability OBs that are associated with:
Displacement: The move away from the OB is sharp and decisive.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs): An FVG forming immediately after the OB strengthens its validity.
OB Mitigation: This refers to price returning to the level of the Order Block after its formation. Price might react at the edge (proximal line) or the 50% level (mean threshold) of the OB. An OB is often considered fully mitigated or invalidated if price trades decisively through its entire range, especially with a candle body closing beyond it.
How the "ICT Order Blocks v2 (Refined)" Indicator Works
This indicator automates the detection and visualization of the most recent unmitigated Order Block of each type (Bullish/Bearish), incorporating optional filters.
Detection:
It looks at the relationship between the candle two bars ago ( ), the previous candle ( ), and potentially the current candle ( ).
Bullish OB: Identifies if candle was a down-close (close < open ) AND candle broke above the high of candle (high > high ).
Bearish OB: Identifies if candle was an up-close (close > open ) AND candle broke below the low of candle (low < low ).
Accuracy Filters (Optional Inputs):
These filters help identify potentially higher-probability OBs:
Require Fair Value Gap (FVG)?: If enabled, the indicator checks if an FVG formed immediately after the OB candle ( ). Specifically, it looks for a gap between candle and candle (low > high for Bullish OB confirmation, high < low for Bearish).
Require Strong Close Breakout?: If enabled, it requires the breakout candle ( ) to close beyond the range of the OB candle ( ). (close > high for Bullish, close < low for Bearish). This suggests stronger confirmation.
Storing the Most Recent OB:
When an OB is detected and passes any enabled filters, its details (high, low, formation bar index) are stored. Crucially, this indicator only tracks the single most recent valid unmitigated OB of each type (one Bullish, one Bearish) using var variables. If a newer valid OB forms, it replaces the previously stored one.
Drawing Boxes:
If a valid Bullish OB is being tracked (and Show Bullish OBs is enabled), it draws a box (box.new) using the high and low of the identified OB candle ( ). The same process applies to Bearish OBs (Show Bearish OBs enabled). The boxes automatically extend to the right (extend.right) and their right edge is updated on each new bar (box.set_right) until they are mitigated. Labels ("Bull OB" / "Bear OB") are displayed inside the boxes.
Mitigation & Box Deletion:
The indicator checks if the current closing price (close ) has moved entirely beyond the range of the tracked OB.
Mitigation Rule Used: A Bullish OB is considered mitigated if close < bull_ob_low. A Bearish OB is considered mitigated if close > bear_ob_high. Once an OB is marked as mitigated, the indicator stops tracking it and its corresponding box is automatically deleted (box.delete) from the chart.
This indicator provides a dynamic visualization of the most recent, potentially significant Order Blocks that meet the specified criteria, helping traders identify key areas of interest based on ICT principles.

FVG | iSolani
Unveiling Market Inefficiencies with Precision
In fast-moving markets, spotting hidden opportunities often hinges on identifying imbalances between price and value. The FVG | iSolani indicator revolutionises this process by detecting Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) —zones where price action skips over "fair" valuation levels, creating potential retracement targets. Combining advanced filtering, dynamic visualisation, and automated management, this tool empowers traders to pinpoint high-probability setups with unprecedented clarity.
Core Methodology
The indicator employs a multi-layered approach to identify FVGs:
Three-Bar Gap Analysis: Bullish FVGs form when the current low exceeds the high of two bars prior, while bearish FVGs occur when the current high stays below the low of two bars back.
Volatility-Adjusted Filtering: Gaps are measured against a 100-bar standard deviation to exclude insignificant price jumps.
Volume Confirmation: Only gaps accompanied by above-average volume (relative to a 1-bar SMA) are validated, filtering out low-conviction moves.
Auto-Invalidation System: Continuously monitors price action to remove FVG zones once price closes within their range, maintaining chart cleanliness.
Breaking New Ground
This tool introduces three paradigm-shifting innovations:
Volume-Weighted Significance: Unlike traditional FVG detectors, it ties gap validity to volume spikes, emphasising institutional activity.
Adaptive Zone Management: Boxes automatically extend rightward (when enabled) and self-destruct when invalidated, eliminating manual cleanup.
Smart Color Encoding: Offers both monochrome (for multi-timeframe analysis) and standard bull/bear color schemes, with customisable transparency.
Engine Under the Hood
The script operates through four key processes:
Gap Detection: Scans every new bar for three-candle patterns meeting FVG criteria.
Statistical Filtering: Applies user-defined threshold (default: 1σ) to separate meaningful gaps from market noise.
Box Rendering: Draws semi-transparent zones between gap boundaries using TradingView's box objects, styled according to user preferences.
Array-Based Memory: Stores all active FVGs in arrays, enabling real-time validation checks against current price action.
Standard Configuration
Optimised default settings balance visibility and functionality:
Filter: 1.0 (1 standard deviation threshold)
Colors: "Mono" mode (gray boxes) with 90% transparency
Text Labels: Enabled in medium gray
Extension: Gaps extend indefinitely rightward
Borders: Dotted lines with visible outlines
Through its fusion of quantitative rigor and visual adaptability, the FVG | iSolani transforms raw price data into actionable intelligence. By focusing on volume-confirmed gaps and automating zone management, it cuts through market chaos to reveal structurally significant levels—a must-have for traders navigating breakouts, reversals, or order-flow analysis.

**Objective:**
This script aims to **capitalize on institutional price movements** within the New York session by leveraging ICT concepts such as FVGs and Order Blocks. By automating trade entries and exits, it eliminates emotions and ensures a disciplined trading approach.
Reversal rehersal v1This indicator was designed to identify potential market reversal zones using a combination of RSI thresholds (shooting range/falling range), candlestick patterns, and Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). By combining all these elements into one indicator, it allow for outputting high probability buy/sell signals for use by scalpers on low timeframes like 1-15 mins, for quick but small profits.
Note: that this has been mainly tested on DE40 index on the 1 min timeframe, and need to be adjusted to whichever timeframe and symbol you intend to use. Refer to the backtester feature for checking if this indicator may work for you.
The indicator use RSI ranges from two timeframes to highlight where momentum is building up. During these areas, it will look for certain candlestick patterns (Sweeps as the primary one) and check for existance of fair value gaps to further enhance the hitrate of the signal.
The logic for FVG detection was based on ©pmk07's work with MTF FVG tiny indicator. Several major changes was implemented though and incorporated into this indicator. Among these are:
Automatically adjustments of FVG boxes when mitigated partially and options to extend/cull boxes for performance and clarity.
Backtesting Table (Experimental):
This indicator also features an optional simplified table to review historical theoretical performance of signals, including win rate, profit/loss, and trade statistics. This does not take commision or slippage into consideration.
Usage Notes:
Setup:
1. Add the indicator to your chart.
2. Decide if you want to use Long or Short (or both).
3. If you're scalping on ie. 1 min time frame, make sure to set FVG's to higher timeframes (ie. 5, 15, 60).
4. Enable the 'Show backtest results' and adjust the 'Signals' og 'Take profit' and 'Stop loss' values until you are satisfied with the results.
Use:
1. Setup an alert based on either of the 'BullishShooting range' or 'BearishFalling range' alerts. This will draw your attention to watch for the possible setups.
2. Verify if there's a significant imbalance prior to the signal before taking the trade. Otherwise this may invalidate the setup.
3. Once a signal is shown on the graph (either Green arrow up for buys/Red arrow down for sells) - you should enter a trade with the given 'Take profit' and 'Stop loss' values.
4. (optional) Setup an alert for either the Strong/Weak signals. Which corresponds to when one of the arrows are printed.
Important: This is the way I use it myself, but use at own risk and remember to combine with other indicators for further confluence. Remember this is no crystal ball and I do not guarantee profitable results. The indicator merely show signals with high probability setups for scalping.
Stophunt WickAcknowledgement
This indicator is dedicated to my friend Alexandru who saved me from one of these liquidation raids which almost liquidated me.
Alexandru is one of the best scalpers out there and he always nails his entries at the tip of these wicks.
This inspired me to create this indicator.
What's a Liquidation Wick?
It's that fast stop-hunting wick that stophunts everyone by triggering their stop-loss and liquidation.
Liquidity is the lifeblood of stock market and liquidation is the process that moves price.
This indicator will identify when a liquidity pool is getting raided to trigger buy or sell stops, they are also know as stop-hunts.
How does it work?
When market consolidates in one direction, it builds up liquidity zones.
Market maker will break out of these consolidation phases by having dramatic price action to either pump or dump to raid these liquidity zones.
This is also called stop-hunts or liquidity raids. After that it will start reversing back to the opposite direction.
This is most noticeable by the length of the wick of a given candle in a very short amount of time and the total size of the candle.
This indicator highlights them accordingly.
Settings
Wick and Candle ratio works with default values but finetune will enhance user experience and usability.
Wick Ratio: Size of the wick compared to body of a candle.
Adjust this to higher ratio on smaller timeframe or smaller ratio on bigger timeframe to your trading style to spot a trend reversal.
Candle Ratio: The size of the candle, by default it is 0.75% of the current price.
For example, if BTC is at 20,000 then the size of the candle has to be minimum 150.
This can be fine tuned to bigger candle size on higher time frames or smaller for shorter timeframe depending on the trade type.
How to use it?
This indicator will identify when a liquidity pool is getting raided to trigger buy or sell stops, they are also know as stop-hunts. It can be used of its own for scalping but there are also a good few indicators which would most definitely help to confluence bigger timeframe trades.
Scalp
This indicator shows the most chaotic moments in price action; therefore it works best on smaller timeframes, ideally 3 or 5 minute candle.
- Wait for the market to start pumping or dumping.
- Current candle will change colour (Bullish/Bearish).
- Enter trade as soon as price starts to reverse back.
- Place the stop-loss outside of the current candle.
- Wait for the Liquidation Wick to appear as confirmation.
Price is very chaotic during a liquidity stop-hunt raid but there is a saying:
"In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity" - Sun-Tzu
Since this is a very high risk, high reward strategy; it is advised to practice on paper trade first.
Practice until perfection and this indicator would be the perfect bread and butter scalp confirmation.
Fair Value Gap
FVG strategy is the most accurate in conjunction with this indicator.
Normally price would reverse after consuming fair value gaps but often it's difficult to know when and where.
This indicator would identify those crucial entry points for reverse course direction of the price action.
Support and Resistance
This indicator can also be used in conjunction with support and resistance lines.
Generally the stophunt will go deep below the support or spike much further up the resistance lines to liquidate positions.
Bollinger Bands
Bolling Bands strategy would be to wait until the price breaks out of the band.
Once the wick is formed, it would be an ideal entry point.

ICT Turtle Soup Ultimate V2📜 ICT Turtle Soup Ultimate V2 — Advanced Liquidity Reversal System
Overview:
The ICT Turtle Soup Ultimate V2 is a next-generation liquidity reversal indicator built on the principles of smart money concepts (SMC) and the classic ICT Turtle Soup setup. It is designed to detect false breakouts (liquidity grabs) at key swing points, enhanced by proprietary logic that filters out low-quality signals using a combination of trend context, kill zone timing, candle wick behavior, and multi-timeframe imbalance zones.
This tool is ideal for intraday traders seeking high-probability entry signals near liquidity pools and imbalance zones — where smart money makes its move.
🔍 What This Script Does
🧠 Liquidity Grab Detection (Turtle Soup Core Logic)
The script scans for recent swing highs/lows using a user-defined lookback.
A signal is generated when price breaks above/below a previous swing level but closes back inside — indicating a liquidity run and likely reversal.
A special Wick Trap Mode enhances this logic by detecting long-wick fakeouts — where the wick grabs stops but the candle body closes opposite the breakout direction.
📉 Trend Filter with ATR Buffer
Optional trend filter uses a simple moving average (SMA) to gauge market direction.
Instead of hard filtering, it applies an ATR-based buffer to allow for entries near the trend line, reducing signal suppression from micro-fluctuations.
🕰️ Kill Zone Session Filtering
Only show signals during institutional trading hours:
London Session
New York AM
Or any custom user-defined session
Helps traders avoid low-volume hours and focus on where stop hunts and price expansions typically occur.
🧱 Multi-Timeframe FVG Confluence (Optional)
Signal validation is strengthened by checking if price is within a higher timeframe Fair Value Gap — commonly used to identify imbalances or inefficiencies.
Filters out setups that lack underlying displacement or order flow justification.
🎨 Visual Feedback
Plots 🔺 bullish and 🔻 bearish markers at signal candles.
Optionally displays:
Swing High/Low Labels (SH / SL)
Reversal distance labels
Background color shading on valid signals
Includes built-in alerts for automated trade notification.
🔑 Unique Benefits
Wick Trap Detection: A proprietary approach to detecting stop hunts via wick behavior, not just candle closes.
ATR-based trend filtering: Avoids unnecessary filtering while still maintaining directional bias.
All-in-one system: No need to stack multiple indicators — swing detection, reversal logic, session filtering, and imbalance confirmation are all integrated.
💡 How to Use
Enable Wick Trap Mode to detect stealthy liquidity grabs with strong wicks.
Use Kill Zone filters to trade only when institutions are active.
Optionally enable FVG confluence to improve confidence in reversal zones.
Watch for Bullish signals near SL levels and Bearish signals near SH levels.
Combine with your own execution strategy or other SMC tools for optimal results.
