ORB Breakout Strategy📊 Overview
📈 Systematic intraday Opening Range Breakout (ORB) strategy
🧭 Designed for index CFDs (e.g. US500)
⏱️ Optimized for 5-minute charts during regular trading hours
🛡️ Strict risk management and position sizing
🚦 Maximum one trade per day
💡 Core Idea
🌅 The market establishes a key price range shortly after the open
🚀 A confirmed breakout from this opening range can signal directional momentum
🎯 The strategy trades only confirmed breakouts with predefined risk
📐 Opening Range Definition
⏰ Opening range is defined between 09:30 and 09:45 (exchange time)
🕯️ Uses the first three 5-minute candles of the session
⬆️ Opening Range High is the highest high of those candles
⬇️ Opening Range Low is the lowest low of those candles
🟢 Long Trade
📊 A 5-minute candle closes above the Opening Range High
🟩 A Fair Value Gap (FVG) exists relative to the candle 10 minutes earlier
🧲 A buy limit order is placed at the Opening Range High
🔴 Short Trade
📉 A 5-minute candle closes below the Opening Range Low
🟥 A Fair Value Gap (FVG) exists relative to the candle 10 minutes earlier
🧲 A sell limit order is placed at the Opening Range Low
🛑 Stop Loss
📉 Long trades use the low of the candle 10 minutes before the breakout
📈 Short trades use the high of the candle 10 minutes before the breakdown
🎯 Take Profit
⚖️ Fixed reward-to-risk ratio of 2:1
📏 Take profit distance equals two times the stop loss distance
💰 Position Sizing
💵 Fixed dollar risk per trade (default: $2,000)
📐 Position size is calculated dynamically based on stop loss distance
🔁 Risk remains consistent across changing volatility conditions
⏳ Trade Management Rules
🚦 Maximum one trade per day, including same-bar entries and exits
🕛 No new entries after 12:00 (exchange time)
⏰ All open positions are closed at 15:50
❌ Pending orders are cancelled after the entry cutoff or at session end
⚙️ Execution & Costs
💸 Commission model can be configured in the strategy settings

Smart Range ProfilerSmart Market Structure Viewer: Gaps, Swings & Dealing Ranges
Overview
This script is a comprehensive technical analysis viewer designed to provide a clear and objective visualization of market structure. By mapping liquidity gaps, multi-tier swing points, and dynamic dealing ranges, it helps traders identify key institutional levels and price action context without the clutter of predictive signals.
Key Features
1. Gap Analysis (FVG & Breakaway)
The tool identifies and tracks price imbalances to help visualize market inefficiency:
Fair Value Gaps (FVG): Highlights standard price imbalances.
Breakaway Gaps: Specifically marks gaps where the candle close remains outside the previous range, indicating strong directional commitment.
Sophisticated Mitigation: Users can choose how gaps are cleared from the chart (e.g., when price touches, leaves, or completely covers the gap), ensuring only relevant imbalances are displayed.
2. Hierarchical Swing Points
To help distinguish between minor fluctuations and major trend shifts, the viewer categorizes market structure into three hierarchical levels:
Short-Term (ST): Localized swing points identified in relation to gap formations.
Intermediate-Term (IT): Structural points derived from the relationship between short-term swings.
Long-Term (LT): High-level structural points that define the broader market framework.
3. Dynamic Dealing Range & Profiling
The script calculates and projects the current "Dealing Range" based on the selected structural hierarchy (ST, IT, or LT).
Range Geometry: Displays the Range Top, Range Bottom, and the Equilibrium (50%) level.
MTP (Most Traded Price): A volume-based profile indicating the price level with the highest trading activity within the current range.
MTS (Most Time Spent): A time-based profile highlighting the price level where the market spent the most duration.
How to use this Viewer
Structural Context: Use the multi-tier swings to identify the current market phase (Bullish/Bearish) and seniority of the trend.
Imbalance Tracking: Monitor how price interacts with Fair Value and Breakaway gaps to gauge the strength of a move.
Premium vs. Discount: Utilize the Dealing Range Equilibrium in conjunction with MTP/MTS levels to identify where price sits relative to its value distribution.

# ⭐ **3. FULL DESCRIPTION (for the script page)**
### **TradingView-Ready**
---
## **Brahma Creation Field (BCF) — SALSA© Edition**
The **Brahma Creation Field (BCF)** Indicator is an *original* SALSA©-based imbalance model designed to identify areas where price rapidly expands with strong intent and leaves behind a “Creation Field.”
This indicator is an entirely proprietary rewrite based on **Vedic + SALSA© Interpretation of Market Birth**, and does **not reuse or copy** any external code. It is not affiliated with or derived from any other indicator.
---
## 🔱 **What Is a Brahma Creation Field (BCF)?**
In SALSA© Market Dynamics:
* **Brahma** = Creation
* **Vishnu** = Continuation
* **Shiva** = Transformation (destruction/reset)
A **BCF** is the *birth moment* of a new price narrative —
a zone created when price displaces strongly enough to leave a gap between the candle and the candle two bars earlier.
This is interpreted as:
* **Bullish BCF** → A strong upward creation event
* **Bearish BCF** → A strong downward creation event
These “Creation Fields” often act as **reaction points, continuation areas, or reversal zones**.
---
## 🔰 **Key Features**
### **✔ Automatic Detection of Brahma Creation Fields**
Identifies both bullish and bearish creation zones using clean imbalance structure.
### **✔ Creation Strength Line (CSL)**
A midline through the BCF used to confirm strength, bias, and equilibrium.
### **✔ Integrity Break Logic**
When price invalidates the BCF, the zone fades and becomes inactive.
### **✔ Real-Time Updates**
BCFs extend automatically as long as they are active.
### **✔ Alerts Included**
* Bullish BCF Formed
* Bearish BCF Formed
* BCF Integrity Broken
* Price Inside Active BCF
* CSL Cross (Midline Cross)
### **✔ 100% Original Codebase**
Fresh, clean Pine Script v6 logic reflecting SALSA© philosophy.

Institutional Engine SAFEThis indicator is designed for traders who want to visualize institutional-level market execution patterns across multiple timeframes. It combines high-timeframe trend analysis, liquidity sweeps, fair value gaps (FVG), intermarket divergence (SMT), inverse FVGs, and change-in-state-of-delivery (CSID) to identify high-probability long and short setups.
BB Scoreboard MTF1. The Concept: Harmony Across TimeframesThe Musical Score Visual: This indicator transforms absolute price into a relative "score" based on standard deviations ($\sigma$). It displays the positions of Short-Term (15m), Mid-Term (1H), and Long-Term (4H) prices on a single grid, similar to a musical staff.Syncing the "Breath" of the Market: By aligning three different timeframes, you can instantly see if the entire market is "breathing" in the same direction.
2. Trading Logic: The Power of ConvergencePerfect Order (Bullish): When the Short, Mid, and Long-term lines are all above the Middle (0) line, it indicates a strong, synchronized uptrend. This is the highest probability zone for "Buy on Dip" strategies.Perfect Order (Bearish): Conversely, when all lines are below the Middle line, the market is in a synchronized downtrend, making "Sell on Rally" the dominant strategy.Overextension (The Limits): When all three lines hit the $+3\sigma$ or $-3\sigma$ levels simultaneously, the market is extremely overextended, signaling an imminent correction or exhaustion.
3. Synergizing with "Volume-Wall" (FVG)To achieve the Ultimate Scalping Setup:Alignment: Wait for all three lines on the "Scoreboard" to point in the same direction (e.g., all above 0).The Anchor: Price returns to a Strong FVG (Volume-Wall).The Trigger: Enter the trade when the Short-term line bounces off a lower $\sigma$ level and heads back toward the $+1\sigma$ or $+2\sigma$ area.
Wave Dynamics - Neural Adaptive Engine🌊 WAVE DYNAMICS - NEURAL ADAPTIVE ENGINE
The Official Reference Manual & Trading Protocol
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📖 PREFACE: THE END OF STATIC ANALYSIS
The financial markets are not linear; they are fractal. They do not move in straight lines; they breathe. They expand in trending volatility and contract in chopping noise.
The fundamental failure of traditional technical analysis is Static Sensitivity .
• A 14-period RSI works beautifully in a range but fails in a trend.
• A 12,26 MACD captures trends but destroys capital in chop.
Wave Dynamics solves this by treating the market as a living organism. At its core is a Neural Adaptive Engine that calculates the Hurst Exponent (Fractal Dimension) in real-time. It measures the "roughness" of price action and automatically adjusts the lookback periods of every subsystem—Waves, Ribbons, and Oscillators—to match the current market regime.
This manual is your guide to navigating this adaptive framework.
PART 1: THEOLOGY & MARKET PHYSICS
To use this tool, you must understand the three pillars of its logic:
1. The Hurst Exponent (Chaos Theory)
The engine continuously calculates H (Hurst) on a rolling window.
• Persistent Regime (H > 0.5): "What is happening now is likely to continue." The market is trending. The Engine Tightens sensitivity to catch fast pullbacks.
• Anti-Persistent Regime (H < 0.5): "What is happening now is likely to reverse." The market is chopping/ranging. The Engine Widens sensitivity to filter out noise and stop runs.
2. The Elliott Wave Cycle (Crowd Psychology)
Price moves in 5-wave motive sequences followed by corrections.
• Waves 1 & 3: Institutional Accumulation/Mark-up.
• Waves 2 & 4: Profit Taking (The Pullback). These are the only safe entry points.
• Wave 5: Retail FOMO (The Trap). Identified by Momentum Divergence .
3. Smart Money Concepts (Liquidity)
Price moves from liquidity to liquidity.
• Order Blocks: Where institutions initiated the move.
• Breakers: Where institutions trapped traders (Support flips to Resistance).
• Fair Value Gaps: Where price moved too fast, leaving inefficiency.
PART 2: VISUAL INTELLIGENCE (COLOR THEORY)
The chart communicates instantly through a strict color-coded language.
🎨 THE RIBBON (Adaptive Equilibrium)
The background "Cloud" is an Adaptive EMA ribbon.
• Neon Green (#00FF88): Bullish Trend. Only look for Longs. Price is above the equilibrium mean.
• Neon Red (#FF3366): Bearish Trend. Only look for Shorts. Price is below the equilibrium mean.
• Grey/Narrow: Compression. The market is deciding. Do not trade inside a grey ribbon.
🎨 INSTITUTIONAL ZONES
• Green/Red Boxes (Order Blocks): Standard Support/Resistance. Valid entry zones, but lower probability.
• Vivid Purple Boxes (#9C27B0) - THE BREAKER: CRITICAL. This appears when a Green Order Block is smashed through by price. It turns Purple to signify it has flipped from Support to Resistance (or vice versa). A retest of a Purple Zone is the highest probability setup in the system.
• Dotted Outlines (FVG): Magnets. Do not place stops inside these; price will likely travel through them.
🎨 WAVE ANATOMY
• Cyan Lines: Valid Impulse Waves (1, 3, 5).
• Orange Lines/Dots: EXHAUSTION. If a wave line turns Orange, Angular Momentum is decaying. The trend is dying.
• Diamonds (◆): DIVERGENCE. Price made a Higher High, but the internal oscillator (MPI) made a Lower Low. Immediate reversal warning.
🎨 SIGNALS
• Triangles: Confirmed Entries. (Green = Long, Red = Short).
• Labels (e.g., A+): The Grade of the trade based on Confluence.
• A+: Perfect Confluence (Trend + Structure + Zone + Momentum).
• C: Counter-trend or Weak.
PART 3: THE DASHBOARD ECOSYSTEM
Three panels provide Total Situational Awareness. You must read them in order: Top Right → Bottom Left → Bottom Right.
1. MISSION CONTROL (Top Right)
This panel tells you the "Weather Report."
• Neural Status:
• 🧠 TREND: Safe to trade breakout and trend-following strategies.
• 🧠 CHOP: Danger. Use mean-reversion or stay out.
• 🧠 RND (Random): No clear edge.
• Phase: Displays the Bias (Bull/Bear) and Strength. "WEAK BEARISH" usually signals a bottom is forming.
• Score Bar: A live visual meter of the Confluence Score (0-100%).
2. THE ASSISTANT (Bottom Left)
This panel acts as your co-pilot, translating data into English.
• Situation:
• "💎 BULL GEM": You are in a range, at the bottom, showing exhaustion. Buy immediately.
• "🔥 COMPRESSION": Volatility squeeze. A violent move is imminent.
• Action: Tells you exactly what to do (e.g., "Wait for confluence," "Trail Stop," "Let it develop").
• Pro Metrics (Simulated):
• Win Rate: The percentage of signals on the current visible chart that hit Target 1.
• Profit Factor: Gross Win / Gross Loss. If this is < 1.0, stop trading this asset immediately.
• Buckets: Shows the win rate of A-Grade signals vs. C-Grade signals.
3. WAVE INTELLIGENCE (Bottom Right)
This panel provides structural context.
• Channel Gauge (0-100%):
• 0-20%: Oversold / Channel Bottom.
• 80-100%: Overbought / Channel Top.
• 50%: Equilibrium.
• W3/W1 Ratio: The "Health Check" of the trend.
• < 1.0: Weak. Wave 3 is shorter than Wave 1. The trend is struggling.
• > 1.618: Extended. The move is parabolic. Expect a snap-back.
• Trend Health (0-100): Composite score of sub-wave physics. If Health < 30, the trend is effectively dead.
PART 4: PARAMETER OPTIMIZATION (THE INPUTS)
Every input allows you to tune the engine. Here is the deep dive:
🧠 NEURAL ADAPTIVE ENGINE
• Enable Neural Adaptive Engine: Master switch for the Hurst calculation.
• Hurst Period (100):
• Adjustment: Increase to 200 for Crypto/Alts (too much noise). Decrease to 50 for
Forex/Indices (need speed).
• How to tell: If the dashboard says "TREND" but the chart is sideways, INCREASE this value.
• Min/Max Lookback: Defines the constraints. Only adjust if you are an advanced user creating a custom scalping setup (e.g., Min 3 / Max 10).
🌊 WAVE & STRUCTURE
• Base Swing Detection (8): The "Anchor."
• Scalpers (1m-5m): Set to 5-8.
• Swing Traders (1H-4H): Set to 15-20.
• Min Wave Size (ATR): Prevents the script from labeling tiny wicks as waves. Increase this during high-volatility news events.
🔗 MTF STRUCTURE MAPPING
• Require Macro Align: Strict Mode. If enabled, the script checks the Higher Timeframe (e.g., 4H). If 4H is Bearish, it BLOCKS all Long signals on the 5m chart. Use this to prevent counter-trend losses.
🏦 SMART MONEY CONCEPTS
• Enable Breakers: ALWAYS ON. This turns failed Order Blocks into Breaker Zones (Purple).
• Institutional Mode: ULTRA STRICT. If enabled, signals will ONLY fire if price is physically touching an Order Block, FVG, or Breaker. This creates very few, very high-quality signals.
🎯 SIGNAL ENGINE
• Signal Mode:
• Strict: Grades A+ and A only.
• Balanced: Grades B and above.
• Aggressive: Includes counter-trend scalps (Grade C).
• Min Confluence Score (5-35): The raw points needed to trigger. 5 is standard. 10 is conservative.
PART 5: TRADE EXECUTION PLAYBOOKS
PLAYBOOK A: THE "BREAKER RETEST" (Highest Probability)
1. Context: Ribbon is Green.
2. Event: Price creates a Red Order Block, then smashes upward through it.
3. Change: The Red Block turns Purple (Bullish Breaker).
4. Trigger: Price pulls back down to touch the top of the Purple Box.
5. Signal: Green Triangle appears.
6. Action: Max Size Entry. Stop Loss below the Purple Box. Target Wave 3 Projection.
PLAYBOOK B: THE "WAVE 4 DIP" (Trend Following)
1. Context: Wave count shows "3". Ribbon is Green.
2. Event: Price pulls back towards the Ribbon.
3. Wave Panel: Wave count flips to "4".
4. Trigger: Price touches Ribbon, prints Green Triangle.
5. Action: Standard Size Entry. Stop Loss at Swing Low. Target New High (Wave 5).
PLAYBOOK C: THE "HIDDEN GEM" (Range Reversal)
1. Context: Ribbon is Grey (Consolidation). Neural Status is CHOP.
2. Wave Panel: Channel Gauge is < 10% (Extreme Bottom).
3. Visuals: Orange Exhaustion Dot + Divergence Diamond (◆).
4. Assistant: Reads "💎 BULL GEM".
5. Action: Half Size Entry. This is a counter-trend trade. Target the middle of the range (50% Channel).
PLAYBOOK D: THE "BULL TRAP" (When to Fold)
1. Context: Wave Count is "5".
2. Wave Panel: Trend Health < 30. W3/W1 Ratio > 1.618 (Extended).
3. Visuals: Orange Line appears on price high.
4. Signal: Green Triangle appears (Grade C).
5. Action: NO TRADE. The system is warning you that even though a signal fired, the structural physics indicate exhaustion.
PART 6: GRADING & SCORING MATRIX
Every signal is graded on a 35-point scale. Know what you are buying.
• Trend Alignment (5 pts): Ribbon & HTF agreement.
• Structure (5 pts): BOS (Break of Structure) & Higher Highs.
• Physics (5 pts): MPI (Volume Flow) & Angular Velocity.
• Institutional Location (10 pts):
• Inside Order Block: +3 pts
• Inside Breaker: +4 pts
• Wave 2/4 Pullback: +3 pts
• Penalty: Wave 5 Extension (-3 pts).
Grade Scale:
• A+ (Score ≥ 70%): "All In" Setup.
• A (Score 55-69%): Strong Setup.
• B (Score 40-54%): Standard Setup.
• C (Score < 40%): Dangerous.
PART 7: RISK DISCLOSURE & LIMITATIONS
1. The Reality of Adaptation (Redrawing):
The Neural Engine is dynamic. As new data arrives, the calculation of "Chaos" changes. This means historical channel lines or wave labels may shift to fit the matured trend. HOWEVER: Entry Signals (Triangles) NEVER repaint once the bar is closed.
2. Simulation vs. Reality:
The Dashboard metrics (Win Rate, Profit Factor) are Simulations run on the historical data visible on your chart. They do not account for spread, slippage, or liquidity. They are a tool to gauge the current market personality, not a promise of future returns.
3. No Financial Advice:
Wave Dynamics is a tool for structural analysis. It helps you see the market, but it cannot trade for you. You are responsible for your own risk management.
CLOSING THOUGHTS
Wave Dynamics is not just an indicator; it is a lens. It allows you to see the market not as a random walk of candles, but as a structured, breathing entity.
Trust the Neural Status. Respect the Breakers. Fear the Exhaustion.
Taking you to school. — Dskyz, Trade with insight. Trade with anticipation.

Ultimate Futures Daytrade Suite v1 - The Strategy GuideHere is the complete **Strategy Guide** translated into English.
---
# 📘 Ultimate Futures Daytrade Suite – The Strategy Guide
### 1. The Visual Legend (What is what?)
Before you trade, you need to understand the hierarchy of your lines. Not every line has the same importance.
* **🟣 Daily EMA 50 (Neon Violet):** The **"Big Boss"**. It determines the **Macro Trend**.
* *Price above:* We are primarily looking for Longs.
* *Price below:* We are primarily looking for Shorts.
* **🟢 4h EMA 50 (Neon Green):** The **"Swing Trend"**. Your most important level for **Pullback Entries** (Re-entries).
* **🟡 POC (Gold) & TPO:** The **"Magnet"**. Price often returns here.
* *Rule:* Never open a trade directly *on* the POC (Risk of "Chop"). Use it as a **Target** (Take Profit).
* **🟠 IB High/Low (Orange Lines):** The **"Daily Structure"**.
* A breakout from the IB (Initial Balance) often indicates the trend direction for the day.
* **🟥/🟩 Boxes (Supply/Demand):** Resistance and Support zones from the 1h timeframe.
* **⬜ FVG Boxes:** "Gaps" in the market that are often filled.
---
### 2. The Trading Workflow (Top-Down Method)
Go through this mental checklist before every trade:
#### Step 1: Trend Check (The Traffic Light)
Look at the **Violet Line (Daily)** and the **Green Line (4h)**.
* **Bullish:** Price is above Violet AND above Green. -> *Focus: Buy dips.*
* **Bearish:** Price is below Violet AND below Green. -> *Focus: Sell rallies.*
* **Mixed:** Price is between Violet and Green. -> *Caution! Market is undecided (Range Trading).*
#### Step 2: Location (The Context)
Where is the price currently located?
* Are we at a **Green Demand Zone**?
* Are we testing the **4h EMA 50 (Green)** from above?
* Are we at the **VWAP**?
* *Never trade in "No Man's Land"!* Wait until the price touches one of your lines.
#### Step 3: Trigger (The Execution)
Now zoom into your lower timeframe (e.g., 5min or 15min).
* Wait for a reaction at the zone.
* Use the **EMA 9 (Yellow)** as a momentum trigger. If price breaks the EMA 9 and closes above/below it, that is your "Go".
---
### 3. The Setup Blueprints
Here are the two most profitable scenarios you can trade with this script:
#### A) The "Golden Trend" Setup (Long)
* **Context:** Price > **Daily EMA (Violet)**.
* **Preparation:** Price corrects (drops) back to the **4h EMA 50 (Green)** or to the **VWAP**.
* **Confluence:** Ideally, there is also a **Demand Zone (Green Box)** or an **FVG** at that level.
* **Entry:** As soon as a candle touches the zone and closes bullish again (or reclaims the EMA 9).
* **Stop-Loss:** Below the 4h EMA 50.
* **Take-Profit:** Next **Supply Zone (Red)** or the **IB High (Orange)**.
#### B) The "Daytrade Breakout" (Intraday)
* **Context:** Price opens inside yesterday's Value Area.
* **Signal:** Price breaks through the **IB High (Orange)** with momentum.
* **Filter:** Price must be above the **VWAP**.
* **Entry:** On the retest of the IB High or directly on the breakout.
* **Target:** Price often trends in that direction for the rest of the day.
---
### 4. Warning Signals (When NOT to trade)
1. **The "Concrete Ceiling":** If you want to go Long, but the **Violet Daily EMA 50** is running directly above you. This is massive resistance. Better wait until it is broken.
2. **The "POC Dance":** If price is dancing sideways around the **Gold Line (POC)**. This is a "No-Trade Zone". Day traders lose the most money here due to fees and whipsaws.
3. **Overextension:** If price is extremely far away from the **4h EMA 50 (Green)** (Rubber Band Effect). Do not enter in the trend direction here; wait for a pullback to the line.
### Summary
Your chart is now telling you a story:
* **Violet** tells you the Direction.
* **Green** gives you the Entry.
* **Red/Green Boxes** show you the Obstacles.
* **Yellow (EMA 9)** gives you the Timing.
Good luck with the Suite! This is a setup similar to what institutional traders use.
Advanced Concept V4 Change your trading time zone to New York . To maximize readiness for institutional trading setups based on the prescribed models, traders should set alarms for specific times in the New York Time Zone (EST/EDT), which is generally 10.5 hours behind IST.
Asian Stop Hunt Model
The Stop Hunt Model is a liquidity-based strategy designed to exploit market stop-loss sweeps by aligning with the IPDA daily bias. The core idea is to wait for price to sweep the engineered liquidity of the Asian Session High or Low (after 10:30 AM IST). Once the sweep occurs, the trader confirms the market's true direction via a Change of Character (CHoCH) on the lower timeframe. The entry is then taken only on a retest of the resulting price inefficiency, specifically a Balanced Price Range (BPR) or imbalance, which represents the institutional entry point. By targeting the next major liquidity pool with a minimum 1:3 risk-to-reward ratio, the model prioritizes discipline and quality over frequent trading.
The New York Open Model
The New York Open Model is an index-focused strategy (SPX500, NAS100, US30) that trades solely during the New York Session (9:30 AM – 12:30 PM NYT). It establishes a Range Zone high and low from midnight until the open, treating these boundaries as institutional liquidity targets. Execution is triggered by a mandatory liquidity sweep of one side of this range, followed by a confirming Change of Character (CHoCH) on the 1-minute chart. Entry is taken precisely on the retest of a resulting price inefficiency (like an FVG), aiming for the opposite side of the session range, prioritizing simplicity, timing, and controlled risk over external biases like IPDA.
The ATM Strategy
The ATM Strategy is a high-precision, New York-session trading model designed to capture institutional liquidity moves using the IPDA directional bias. The strategy operates by first defining a Range Zone (00:00 to 8:30 AM NY time) where high and low boundaries act as liquidity targets. Execution is restricted to the Trading Zone (8:30AM to 12:30 PM NY time) and is only triggered when price executes a mandatory liquidity sweep of one range boundary that aligns with the IPDA bias. This sweep must then be confirmed on the 1-minute chart by a Change of Character (CHoCH). Final entry is taken on the retest of a resulting price inefficiency (like an FVG or BPR), with targets set at session highs or lows, ensuring institutional-style execution with high clarity and discipline.
The Central Bank Dealer Range (CBDR)
The Central Bank Dealer Range (CBDR) model is a disciplined, institutional trading strategy used on the 15-minute chart, primarily focusing on London Session liquidity for major currency pairs. The core idea is to align with Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm (IPDA) bias, which dictates a mandatory liquidity sweep (a false breakout of the previous day's high or low) must occur first. Following this sweep, a visible price imbalance (Fair Value Gap) must form within the London Session. Entry is strictly taken only on the retest of this imbalance zone, confirming institutional order flow, with a fixed target at the opposite boundary of the previous day's range.
fmfm12 chosen chart timeframe. It monitors the price to determine:
Whether resistance has been broken → BUY signal
Or support has been broken → SELL signal
After a breakout or breakdown, the indicator automatically draws price targets (T1 / T2 / T3) as percentages from the breakout point, and also displays FVG (Fair Value Gaps) zones that indicate imbalances between supply and demand.
⚙️ Main Components
Support and Resistance Levels (Key Levels)
Automatically calculated from the 4-hour timeframe (180 minutes).
Draws lines:
Green = Resistance
Red = Support
Option to display a midline (blue).
Line style (solid / dashed / dotted), thickness, and label size are customizable.
Trading Signals (Signals)
When resistance is broken upward → BUY signal (green).
When support is broken downward → SELL signal (red).
Signal size is adjustable (small / large, etc.).
Price Targets (Targets)
After confirming a breakout or breakdown, the indicator draws:
T1 / T2 / T3 as horizontal lines in the breakout direction.
Target percentages are adjustable (default: 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%).
Different colors for bullish and bearish targets.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Detects bullish and bearish gaps within a set number of candles (default: 10).
Draws transparent colored zones:

Combined Advanced Trading BlueprintCombined Advanced Trading Blueprint
This all-in-one institutional trading suite integrates market structure, volume analysis, and automated target projection. It is designed to find high-probability "Blueprints" by combining PVSRA (Price, Volume, Storage, Resistance, and Support) with dynamic Fibonacci and ATR-based risk management.
🚀 Key Modules
1. Institutional Inflection Zones (Supply & Demand)
Identifies where major market participants are entering.
Supply & Demand: Automatically draws zones at key swing highs and lows.
IZ (Inflection Zones): Real-time labels marking the median of these zones.
BOS (Break of Structure): When a zone is breached, it transforms into a BOS line to signal trend continuation or reversal.
2. PVSRA & Vector Zones
The core of institutional volume analysis.
Climax Volume (Red/Green): Bars with volume >= 200% of average. These mark exhaustion or massive entry.
High Volume (Violet/Blue): Bars with volume >= 150% of average.
Automated Zones: The script draws boxes around these high-volume candles. Price returning to these zones often sees a sharp reaction.
3. Trader Daddy Intelligence
An automated layer for objective target setting.
Auto-Fibonacci: Dynamically calculates the current swing range and plots 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618 (Golden), 0.786, and extensions.
Volume Gaps (FVG): Detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) where price moved too fast. These acts as "magnets" that the market usually returns to fill.
ATR Targets: Dynamic Take Profit (TP1, TP2, TP3) and Stop Loss (SL) lines that adjust based on current market volatility.
4. Confluence Ribbon System
A multi-layered moving average and channel system.
The Ribbon: Uses 8 EMA (Red), 21 EMA (White), 34 EMA (Blue), 50 SMA (Orange), and 200 SMA (Dark Orange).
Keltner Channels: Three standard deviation bands to identify overbought/oversold conditions.
RSI Triggers: A fast 2-period RSI detects "stretches" outside the Keltner bands for precise entry timing.
VWAP: Includes anchored VWAP for Session, Weekly, and Monthly trends.
🎨 Visual Guide & Color Legend
Price Targets (Trader Daddy)
Green Dashed Lines: Take Profit levels (TP1, TP2, TP3).
Red Solid Line: ATR-based Stop Loss.
Cyan/Blue Labels: Fibonacci retracement levels. The Blue level often acts as a major institutional target or "Take Profit" area in a trending market.
Market Zones
Cyan Boxes: Active Demand (Buy) zones.
Grey/White Boxes: Active Supply (Sell) zones.
Purple/Fuchsia Areas: Vector Zones (High institutional volume).
🛠 How to Trade the Blueprint
Locate the Zone: Wait for price to enter a Supply/Demand box or a Purple Vector Zone.
Check the Market State: Look at the top-right info label to see if the trend is Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral.
Wait for Confluence: Look for an 8/21 EMA crossover or an RSI "Circle" trigger near the Keltner bands.
Execute: Use the ATR-generated TP and SL lines to manage your risk automatically.
EMA Slope CheckerWhat it does: Shows slope/angle of EMA 9, 20, and 50 simultaneously on separate lines.
What it tells you:
EMA 50 slope = Trend direction (bullish/bearish)
EMA 20 slope = Setup strength at FVG zones
EMA 9 slope = Entry timing/momentum
Key feature: Table with arrows showing if each EMA is rising (↑) or falling (↓).
For your FVG system: Tells you if all 3 EMAs are aligned before entering a trade.
#BLTA - CARE 7891🔷 #BLTA - CARE 7891: Ny session toolkit + Risk box + Confirmed levels + Asia box + Structure + Imbalances
Description:
#BLTA - CARE 7891 is an overlay toolkit 🧭🛠️ built for structured discretionary trading preparation. Its main purpose is to keep your chart reading and pre-trade planning in one place by combining time context, confirmed reference levels, liquidity framing, manual risk sizing, and context overlays (structure + imbalances).
🚫 This script is an indicator, not a strategy. It does not place orders.
🧩 Why these modules are combined (and how they work together)
This is not a “mashup for the sake of mixing”. Each module supports a specific step of a practical workflow:
🕒 Time context (new york session mapping)
Background highlights mark precise NY-time windows (day division at 17:00, london blocks, and new york blocks).
This provides the timing framework for when you typically scan, plan, or execute.
📰📅 Confirmed reference levels (previous day/week highs & lows)
Instead of plotting live extremes, this script confirms levels at defined boundaries:
Trading day: 17:00 → 17:00 NY
Weekly boundary: Sunday 17:00 NY
Lines start exactly at the candle where the high/low occurred and extend forward.
Optional “stop on hit” 🧊 freezes a level once price touches it, keeping the chart clean and realistic for forward analysis.
🈵 Asian range liquidity box (session that can cross midnight)
A dedicated Asian range container tracks high/low and an optional 50% midline.
It uses NY timestamps and safely handles sessions that cross midnight (storing the correct session date).
This gives you a daily liquidity “frame” often used for sweeps, breaks, and invalidations.
💸 Manual risk planning (trade box + lot sizing + table)
You select Entry (EP) and Stop (SL) directly on the chart using input.price(..., confirm=true) and time anchors.
The script then calculates:
💰 cash at risk from balance and risk %
📏 stop distance in pips (forex-aware pip sizing)
📦 lot size using units-per-lot and account currency inputs
🎯 target price using a reward ratio
It draws a risk box + target box and shows a compact table for quick verification.
🔁 Re-confirm mode (wizard) is included to prevent “stale” anchor points after timeframe changes or when you want a clean reset. While enabled, the risk table is replaced with a step guide and temporary EP/SL markers.
📈 Market structure overlay (1H zigzag projected to any timeframe)
A zigzag swing engine is computed on 1H via request.security() and projected onto the current chart.
Opacity is automatically reduced on non-1H charts so it stays contextual, not dominant.
Optional live extension of the last leg helps you see the active swing in progress.
📊 Imbalance map (fvg / og / vi) + optional dashboard
The script detects and draws:
🤏 fair value gaps (fvg)
👐 opening gaps (og)
🔎 volume imbalances (vi)
Optional filters allow minimum width by points / % / atr, and each imbalance type can be extended forward.
A dashboard 📱 can summarize bullish/bearish frequency and fill rates for context review.
✅ Quick start (recommended order)
Turn on 🕒 session visualization to align with NY timing.
Enable 📰 pdh/pdl and 📅 weekly highs/lows to map confirmed reference liquidity.
Use 🈵 the asian range box to frame the early-session liquidity container.
Plan your trade with 💸 risk module (pick EP/SL, verify pips + lots + target).
Add 📈 zigzag structure and 📊 imbalances only as supporting context.
⚠️ Notes & limitations
This tool is for planning and chart reading, not automated execution.
Lot sizing is an estimate based on your inputs; always confirm broker contract specs.
Some modules draw many objects (boxes/lines/tables) 🧱, which may slow very small timeframes.
Session Levels (3of3)This system is designed to strip away market noise and highlight the areas where institutional capital is actually active.
Most retail traders fail because they treat every price movement with equal importance. They often enter trades in the "middle of nowhere" or get trapped by "fakeouts" at standard support/resistance levels.
This tool solves:
Context Blindness: It defines the "playing field" by marking institutional session boundaries (Asia, London, NY), so you know exactly where liquidity resides.
Computation Lag: Standard Volume Profiles often slow down a chart. Our Optimized VPC provides the "Magnet" price without the lag.
Indecision: By requiring a Market Structure Shift (MSS) alongside a Fair Value Gap (FVG), it removes the guesswork of "Is this a reversal or a continuation?"
Why It Is Unique:
Unlike standard indicators that look at a single data point (like just price or just volume), this is a Holistic System.
Auto-Mitigation: Most FVG indicators clutter your screen with old boxes. This tool automatically deletes zones once price "fills" them, keeping your focus on live opportunities.
Institutional "Sweep" Logic: It specifically tracks if price has "stolen" the liquidity from a previous session before issuing a signal.
The "Vegas" Filter: It uses the 144 EMA (Vegas Floor) as a high-probability institutional trend filter, ensuring you aren't fighting the primary trend.
When testing this, track one specific stat: "Did price hit the VPC after the MSS?" You will likely find that even when the trade doesn't reach the far PRZ targets, it reaches the VPC Magnet over 70% of the time. Focusing on that "snap-back" to the orange line is the secret to a high win rate with this tool.
Order Blocks & ImbalanceThis indicator automatically identifies and plots Order Blocks (also known as Fair Value Gaps or Imbalances) based on Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and ICT methodology. It detects significant price inefficiencies (gaps between candles) that often act as institutional supply or demand zones.
How It Works (Technical Methodology)
1. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection
The indicator identifies classic 3-candle imbalances:
- Bullish Order Block (Demand): When the low of the current candle is significantly below the high of the candle two bars ago (low - high ).
- Bearish Order Block (Supply): When the high of the current candle is significantly above the low of the candle two bars ago (low - high ).
A minimum size threshold is enforced using ATR(14) × user-defined multiplier (default 0.5) to filter out minor gaps and focus on meaningful inefficiencies.
2. Zone Creation
- Bullish zones are created at the candle two bars ago (the "origin" candle where inefficiency occurred).
- Bearish zones use the same origin candle.
- Zone boundaries:
Top = high of origin candle
Bottom = low of origin candle
This captures the full range where price moved aggressively, leaving an imbalance that institutions may later revisit.
3. Mitigation Detection
Zones can be mitigated in two ways (user-selectable):
- "Close": Zone is considered touched only if the close price enters the zone.
- "Wick": Zone is touched if any wick (high/low) enters the zone (more sensitive).
When mitigated:
- Background becomes more transparent
- Border turns dotted
- Label changes to "Mitigated"
Broken zones (price fully closes beyond the opposite side) are automatically deleted.
4. Zone Lifecycle Management
- Active Zone: Strong color fill (green for demand, red for supply) with solid border.
- Mitigated Zone: Faded color, dotted border – indicates partial fill or reduced strength.
- Broken Zone: Automatically removed from chart to reduce clutter.
Old zones are also pruned when exceeding 450 total to maintain performance.
5. Smart Visibility Engine (Optional)
When enabled:
- All zones are initially hidden.
- Only the closest relevant zones are shown:
- Up to user-defined limit (default 10) highest bullish zones (closest below price)
- Up to user-defined limit (default 10) lowest bearish zones (closest above price)
- Visible zones are automatically extended to the right and styled appropriately.
This keeps the chart clean while highlighting the most actionable zones near current price.
6. Visual Elements
- Demand Zones: Green fill, labeled "OB Demand"
- Supply Zones: Red fill, labeled "OB Supply"
- Tiny text size to minimize chart clutter
- Zones drawn as boxes using bar_index positioning
How to Use
Order Blocks represent areas of price inefficiency where smart money likely entered/exited positions aggressively.
- Demand Zones (Green): Potential long entry areas when price returns. Expect buying pressure to defend these levels. Best setups when price retests an active (non-mitigated) zone.
- Supply Zones (Red): Potential short entry areas when price returns. Expect selling pressure to emerge.
- Mitigated Zones: Lower probability – may act as weaker support/resistance.
- Smart Visibility: Highly recommended for cleaner charts. Focuses attention on zones most likely to be tested soon.
- Combine with:
- Break of Structure (BOS)/Change of Character (CHOCH)
- Liquidity grabs
- Higher timeframe confluence
- Volume or momentum confirmation
Use higher FVG threshold (e.g., 0.8–1.0) for fewer, higher-quality zones. Lower threshold for more aggressive detection.

This indicator is a technical analysis tool and should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always use proper risk management.
Bästa Bob Multi-RSI 😎👊✅ RSI 7 → Fast impulse indicator
• Shows micro-movements
• Reacts instantly to liquidity sweeps
• Perfect for entry timing
✅ RSI 14 → Macro momentum indicator
• Captures the real trend
• Filters out noise
• Confirms larger market movements
When both are in sync → you get true market direction plus perfect timing.
👉 How to Use RSI 7 + RSI 14
1️⃣ Entry Signals (the best method)
BUY when:
• RSI 7 turns up from oversold
• RSI 14 is also sloping upward or gets crossed by RSI 7 from below
→ Extremely accurate right after a liquidity sweep.
SELL when:
• RSI 7 turns down from overbought
• RSI 14 is sloping downward or gets crossed by RSI 7 from above
→ Works insanely well for fakeouts and FVG entries.
2️⃣ Trend Filter
• When RSI 14 stays above 50 → market is bullish
• When RSI 14 stays below 50 → bearish
RSI 7 is then used only for timing entries.
3️⃣ A++ Setups (your favorite ones 😉🔥)
The best signals appear when:
✔ RSI 7 crosses RSI 14 at the same time as:
• a liquidity sweep happens
• price taps into an FVG or Order Block
• volume reacts
• your trend filter (EMA, HTF) supports the move
This combo is criminally effective when scalping BTC, NAS100, and XAUUSD.
A+ Setup Strategy Trendline Features Added:
1. Automatic Trendline Detection
Support Trendline (green) - Connects swing lows
Resistance Trendline (red) - Connects swing highs
Uses pivot points to identify key swing levels
Validates trendlines by counting touches (minimum 3 touches required)
2. Trendline Settings
Show Trendlines - Toggle on/off
Lookback Period - How far back to look for pivots (default: 50 bars)
Min Touches - How many touches needed for valid trendline (default: 3)
3. Trendline Break Detection
Bullish Break - Price breaks above support trendline (marked with small green circle)
Bearish Break - Price breaks below resistance trendline (marked with small red circle)
Generates signals when breaks occur
4. Enhanced A+ Setups
Now includes ULTRA setups - the absolute best trades:
ULTRA BUY Setup (Aqua label):
Bullish FVG + BOS + Volume Spike + Uptrend
PLUS: Support trendline break OR near key support
PLUS: Trendline breakout confirmation
ULTRA SELL Setup (Fuchsia label):
Bearish FVG + BOS + Volume Spike + Downtrend
PLUS: Resistance trendline break OR near key resistance
PLUS: Trendline breakdown confirmation
5. Confluence Integration
The strategy now considers price near trendlines as additional confluence, similar to how it uses daily S/R levels.
6. Additional Alerts
Support Trendline Break
Resistance Trendline Break
ULTRA BUY/SELL Setup alerts
This gives you multiple tiers of signal quality:
Standard A+ Setup - All conditions met
ULTRA A+ Setup - All conditions + trendline break (highest probability)
The trendlines will help you identify major trend reversals and breakouts for even better entry timing!
Volume Gaps & Imbalances (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Volume Gaps & Imbalances (Zeiierman) is an advanced market-structure and order-flow visualizer that maps where the market traded, where it did not, and how buyer-vs-seller pressure accumulated across the entire price range.
The core of the indicator is a price-by-price volume profile built from Bullish and Bearish volume assignments. The script highlights:
True zero-volume voids (regions of no traded volume)
Bull/Bear imbalance rows (horizontal volume slices)
A multi-section Delta Panel, showing aggregated Buy–Sell pressure per vertical sector
A clean separation between profile structure, volume efficiency, and delta flows
Together, these components reveal market inefficiencies, displacement zones, and fair-value regions that price tends to revisit — making it an exceptional tool for structural trading, order-flow analysis, and contextual confluence.
Highlights
Identifies true volume voids (untraded price regions), more precisely than standard FVG tools
Plots Bull vs Bear volume at each price row for fine-grained imbalance reading
Includes a sector-based Delta Grid that aggregates Buy–Sell dominance
█ How It Works
⚪ Profile Construction
The indicator scans a user-defined Lookback window and divides the full high–low range into Rows. Each bar's volume is allocated into the correct price bucket:
Bullish volume when close > open
Bearish volume when close <= open
This produces three values per price level:
Bull Volume
Bear Volume
Total Volume & Imbalance Profile
Rows where no volume at all occurred are marked as volume gaps — signaling true untraded zones, often produced by impulsive imbalanced moves.
⚪ Zero-Volume Gaps (True Voids)
Unlike candle-based Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), volume gaps identify the deeper, structural inefficiency: Price moved so fast through a region that no trades occurred at those prices. These areas often attract revisits because liquidity never exchanged hands there.
⚪ Bull/Bear Volume Imbalance
Every price row is drawn using two colored horizontal segments:
Bull segment proportional to bullish volume
Bear segment proportional to bearish volume
This reveals where buyers or sellers dominated individual price levels.
⚪ Delta Panel
The full volume profile is cut into Summary Sections. For each block, the script computes: Δ = (Bull Volume − Bear Volume) ÷ Total Volume × 100%
█ How to Use
⚪ Spot True Voids & Inefficiencies
Zero-volume zones highlight where the price moved without trading. These areas often behave like:
Refill zones during retracements
Targets during displacement
Thin regions price slices through quickly
Ideal for both SMC-style trading and structural mapping.
⚪ Identify Bull/Bear Control at Each Price Level
Broad bullish segments show zones of buyer absorption, while wide bearish slices reveal seller control.
This helps you interpret:
Where buyers supported the price
Where sellers defended a level
Which price levels matter for continuation or reversal
⚪ Use Delta Sectors for Contextual Direction
The delta panel shows where market pressure is accumulating, revealing whether the profile is dominated by:
Bullish flow (positive delta)
Bearish flow (negative delta)
Neutral flow (balanced or minimal delta)
█ Settings
Lookback – Number of bars scanned to build the profile.
Rows – Vertical resolution of price bins.
Source – Price source used to assign volume into rows.
Summary Sections – Number of vertical delta sectors.
Summary Width – Horizontal size of the delta bar panel.
Gap From Profile – Distance between profile and delta grid.
Show Delta Text – Toggle Δ% labels.

Elliott Wave + SMC Fusion # Elliott Wave + SMC Fusion
## TITLE:
Elliott Wave + Smart Money Concepts Fusion
---
## SHORT DESCRIPTION:
Automated Elliott Wave pattern detection with Smart Money Concepts confirmation, EWO oscillator integration, and confluence scoring system.
---
## FULL DESCRIPTION:
### 📊 OVERVIEW
This indicator combines three powerful trading methodologies into a unified system:
- **Elliott Wave Theory** - Automated detection of Wave 1-2 impulse patterns
- **Smart Money Concepts (SMC)** - Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps for institutional confirmation
- **Elliott Wave Oscillator (EWO)** - Momentum-based signal validation
The core concept is to identify high-probability Wave 3 entries by detecting completed Wave 1-2 structures and validating them with SMC and momentum indicators.
---
### 🔧 HOW IT WORKS
**1. Pattern Detection (ZigZag Method)**
- Uses pivot high/low detection to identify swing points
- Validates Wave 2 retracement using Fibonacci ratios (default: 38.2% - 88.6%)
- Requires minimum wave size to filter noise
- Applies confirmation bars to avoid premature signals
**2. Wave Projections**
- Wave 3 target: Fibonacci extension of Wave 1 (default: 1.618)
- Wave 4 retracement: Percentage of Wave 3 (default: 38.2%)
- Wave 5 projection: Extension of Wave 1 from Wave 4
**3. Smart Money Validation**
- **Order Blocks**: Identifies last opposing candle before breakout (institutional footprint)
- **Fair Value Gaps**: Detects price imbalances for potential support/resistance
**4. EWO Confirmation**
- Calculates momentum: (EMA5 / EMA34 - 1) × 100
- Signal line crossovers confirm trend direction
- Strong signals occur at extremes (< -13 or > 13 threshold)
**5. Confluence Scoring (0-100%)**
Points awarded for:
- Fibonacci quality of Wave 2 retracement (10-30 pts)
- Order Block presence (15 pts)
- Fair Value Gap presence (10 pts)
- Volume confirmation (10-15 pts)
- Trend alignment with EMA50 (10 pts)
- EWO confirmation (10-20 pts)
---
### 🎯 UNIQUE FEATURES
**Pattern Locking System**
- Once a valid pattern is detected, it locks until:
- Pattern invalidates (price breaks Wave 0)
- Pattern completes (Wave 5 reached)
- Auto-timeout (configurable bars)
- Prevents rapid signal flipping and false alerts
**Signal Stability Controls**
- Adjustable cooldown between signals (default: 20 bars)
- Minimum bar distance between wave points
- Direction change requirement option
- Confirmation bars after Wave 2 formation
**Visual Wave Tracking**
- Solid lines for impulse waves (0→1, 2→3, 4→5)
- Dashed lines for corrective waves (1→2, 3→4)
- Numbered labels on each wave point
- Real-time projection lines to targets
**Comprehensive Dashboard**
- Current wave status and lock state
- Pattern grade (A+ to D based on confluence)
- Projected vs actual wave levels (✓ when completed)
- SMC confirmation status
- Risk/Reward ratio calculation
- EWO trend direction
---
### 📈 TRADING APPLICATION
**Entry Strategy**
- Wait for Wave 1-2 pattern detection (diamond signal)
- Check confluence score (>65% = higher probability)
- Verify EWO alignment with pattern direction
- Enter after 30% retracement of Wave 2 (customizable)
**Risk Management**
- Stop Loss: Below Wave 0 (with buffer)
- Take Profit 1: Wave 3 projection
- Take Profit 2: Wave 5 projection
- R:R displayed in dashboard
**Invalidation Rules**
- Price breaks below Wave 0 (bullish) or above (bearish)
- Wave 2 level violated before Wave 3 forms
- Pattern timeout exceeded

Candle PA Scanner (Engulfing / Inside / Pin) by BK SahniHere’s how to read the “Candle PA Scanner (Engulfing / Inside / Pin)” and what each input means.
What the signals look like on your chart
B-ENG (label above/below bar)
Bullish Engulfing → “B-ENG” below the bar (green/teal).
Bearish Engulfing → “B-ENG” above the bar (red).
IB (small orange dot at the top)
Inside Bar (compression). Use the mother bar’s high/low for the break.
PIN (triangle)
Bullish Pin → triangle below the bar (long lower wick; rejection of support).
Bearish Pin → triangle above the bar (long upper wick; rejection of resistance).
Treat these as price-action alerts, not automatic buy/sell signals. Act only when they occur at your levels (VWAP band, Fib 38.2–61.8, PDH/PDL, OB/FVG, etc.).
How to trade the prints (quick rules)
A) Bullish Engulfing at support
Context: at VWAP/VAL/0.5–0.618 Fib.
Entry: next candle above the engulfing high (or market order on close if volume/momentum confirm).
Stop: a tick below the engulfing low (or below the level).
Targets: mid/range, VWAP, prior swing; trail with Chandelier/ATR if trend extends.
B) Bearish Engulfing at resistance
Mirror the above: trigger below the engulfing low; stop above its high.
C) Inside Bar
It’s compression. Mark the mother bar’s high/low.
Trade the breakout in the direction of bias (above VWAP for longs, below for shorts).
If the break fails (closes back inside), often sets up a reversal—manage fast.
D) Pin Bar (rejection)
Enter on break of the pin’s body in the direction away from the wick.
Stop beyond the wick tip (invalidated if wick gets closed through).
Scale at VWAP/mid or the opposite range edge.
What the Inputs do (the panel you showed)
Inside Bar lookback (default 1)
How many bars back can be the mother bar.
Keep 1 for strict IB; raise to 2–3 to catch nested/compression patterns (more signals, a bit noisier).
Pin wick:body min ratio (default 2)
How long the rejection wick must be compared to the body.
Higher (2.5–3.0) = pickier, great in chop.
Lower (1.5–1.8) = more pins, useful in strong trends where wicks are shorter.
Min body % of range (0–1) (default 0.25)
Filters out dojis. The body must be at least 25% of the bar’s high-low range.
If you want to allow slimmer bodies (more pins/dojis), drop to 0.15–0.20.
If you want only decisive bodies, raise to 0.30–0.35.
Suggested tuning by market state
Trending / high momentum:
IB lookback 1, Pin ratio 1.8–2.2, Min body 0.20–0.25 (to catch more continuation entries).
Ranging / choppy:
IB lookback 2, Pin ratio 2.5–3.0, Min body 0.30 (fewer, higher-quality reversals).
A simple confluence checklist (use before clicking)
Signal printed at a level (VWAP band, Fib, PDH/PDL, OB/FVG)?
Bias aligned (above VWAP for longs, below for shorts) or you’re intentionally fading a range edge?
For engulfing: did it close through nearby minor structure?
For IB: are you trading the mother bar break, not just the small inside candle?
Risk defined: stop beyond wick/zone, target mapped (mid/VWAP/swing/extension).
Common pitfalls
Taking signals mid-range (low R:R).
Treating an IB as a reversal without a break/shift.
Buying a bullish pin that closed below your level (no acceptance).
Ignoring volatility—during news spikes, patterns fail more often.
