ATRWhat the Indicator Shows:
A compact table with four cells is displayed in the bottom-left corner of the chart:
| ATR | % | Level | Lvl+ATR |
Explanation of the Columns:
ATR — The averaged daily range (volatility) calculated with filtering of abnormal bars (extremely large or small daily candles are ignored).
% — The percentage of the daily ATR that the price has already covered today (the difference between the daily Open and Close relative to ATR).
Level — A custom user-defined level set through the indicator settings.
Lvl+ATR — The sum of the daily ATR and the user-defined level. This can be used, for example, as a target or stop-loss reference.
Color Highlighting of the "%" Cell:
The background color of the "%" ATR cell changes depending on the value:
✅ If the value is less than 10% — the cell is green (market is calm, small movement).
➖ If the value is between 10% and 50% — no highlighting (average movement, no signal).
🟡 If the value is between 50% and 70% — the cell is yellow (movement is increasing, be alert).
🔴 If the value is above 70% — the cell is red (the market is actively moving, high volatility).
Key Features:
✔ All ATR calculations and percentage progress are performed strictly based on daily data, regardless of the chart's current timeframe.
✔ The indicator is ideal for intraday traders who want to monitor daily volatility levels.
✔ The table always displays up-to-date information for quick decision-making.
✔ Filtering of abnormal bars makes ATR more stable and objective.
What is Adaptive ATR in this Indicator:
Instead of the classic ATR, which simply averages the true range, this indicator uses a custom algorithm:
✅ It analyzes daily bars over the past 100 days.
✅ Calculates the range High - Low for each bar.
✅ If the bar's range deviates too much from the average (more than 1.8 times higher or lower), the bar is considered abnormal and ignored.
✅ Only "normal" bars are included in the calculation.
✅ The average range of these normal bars is the adaptive ATR.
Detailed Algorithm of the getAdaptiveATR() Function:
The function takes the number of bars to include in the calculation (for example, 5):
The average of the last 5 normal bars is calculated.

adaptiveATR = getAdaptiveATR(5)
Step-by-Step Process:
An empty array ranges is created to store the ranges.
Daily bars with indices from 1 to 100 are iterated over.
For each bar:
🔹 The daily High and Low with the required offset are loaded via request.security().
🔹 The range High - Low is calculated.
🔹 The temporary average range of the current array is calculated.
🔹 The bar is checked for abnormality (too large or too small).
🔹 If the bar is normal or it's the first bar — its range is added to the array.
Once the array accumulates the required number of bars (count), their average is calculated — this is the adaptive ATR.
If it's not possible to accumulate the required number of bars — na is returned.
Что показывает индикатор:
На графике внизу слева отображается компактная таблица из четырех ячеек:
ATR % Уровень Ур+ATR
Пояснения к столбцам:
ATR — усреднённый дневной диапазон (волатильность), рассчитанный с фильтрацией аномальных баров (слишком большие или маленькие дневные свечи игнорируются).
% — процент дневного ATR, который уже "прошла" цена на текущий день (разница между открытием и закрытием относительно ATR).
Уровень — пользовательский уровень, который задаётся вручную через настройки индикатора.
Ур+ATR — сумма уровня и дневного ATR. Может использоваться, например, как ориентир для целей или стопов.
Цветовая подсветка ячейки "%":
Цвет фона ячейки с процентом ATR меняется в зависимости от значения:
✅ Если значение меньше 10% — ячейка зелёная (рынок пока спокоен, маленькое движение).
➖ Если значение от 10% до 50% — фон не подсвечивается (среднее движение, нет сигнала).
🟡 Если значение от 50% до 70% — ячейка жёлтая (движение усиливается, повышенное внимание).
🔴 Если значение выше 70% — ячейка красная (рынок активно движется, высокая волатильность).
Особенности работы:
✔ Все расчёты ATR и процентного прохождения производятся исключительно по дневным данным, независимо от текущего таймфрейма графика.
✔ Индикатор подходит для трейдеров, которые торгуют внутри дня, но хотят ориентироваться на дневные уровни волатильности.
✔ В таблице всегда отображается актуальная информация для принятия быстрых торговых решений.
✔ Фильтрация аномальных баров делает ATR более устойчивым и объективным.
Что такое адаптивный ATR в этом индикаторе
Вместо классического ATR, который просто усредняет истинный диапазон, здесь используется собственный алгоритм:
✅ Он берет дневные бары за последние 100 дней.
✅ Для каждого из них рассчитывает диапазон High - Low.
✅ Если диапазон бара слишком сильно отличается от среднего (более чем в 1.8 раза больше или меньше), бар считается аномальным и игнорируется.
✅ Только нормальные бары попадают в расчёт.
✅ В итоге считается среднее из диапазонов этих нормальных баров — это и есть адаптивный ATR.
Подробный алгоритм функции getAdaptiveATR()
Функция принимает количество баров для расчёта (например, 5):
Считается 5 последних нормальных баров
pinescript
Копировать
Редактировать
adaptiveATR = getAdaptiveATR(5)
Пошагово:
Создаётся пустой массив ranges для хранения диапазонов.
Перебираются дневные бары с индексами от 1 до 100.
Для каждого бара:
🔹 Через request.security() подгружаются дневные High и Low с нужным смещением.
🔹 Считается диапазон High - Low.
🔹 Считается временное среднее диапазона по текущему массиву.
🔹 Проверяется, не является ли бар аномальным (слишком большой или маленький).
🔹 Если бар нормальный или это самый первый бар — его диапазон добавляется в массив.
Как только массив набирает заданное количество баров (count), берётся их среднее значение — это и есть адаптивный ATR.
Если не удалось набрать нужное количество баров — возвращается na.

Rapid Candle PATTERNS V2.0Indicator Title: Rapid Candle Patterns - High-Probability Signals
Description
Tired of noisy charts filled with weak and ambiguous candlestick patterns? The Rapid Candle Patterns indicator is engineered to solve this problem by moving beyond simple textbook definitions. It identifies only high-probability reversal and continuation signals by focusing on the underlying market dynamics: momentum, liquidity, and confirmation.
This is not just another pattern indicator; it's a professional-grade tool designed to help you spot truly significant price action events.
How The Logic Works & Why It's More Accurate
Each pattern in this script has been enhanced with stricter, more intelligent rules to filter out noise and reduce false signals. Here’s what makes our logic superior:
1. The Liquidity Grab Hammer & Inverted Hammer
Standard Logic: A simple hammer shows a long lower wick, suggesting buyers pushed the price back up.
Our Enhanced Logic: We don't just look for a hammer shape. Our signal is only valid if the hammer’s low takes out the low of the previous candle (a "liquidity grab" or "stop hunt").
Why It's More Accurate: This sequence is incredibly powerful. It shows that sellers attempted to push the market lower, triggered stop-loss orders below the prior low, and then were decisively overpowered by buyers who reversed the price. This isn't just a reversal; it's a failed breakdown, often trapping sellers and fueling a stronger move in the opposite direction.
2. The "True" Bullish & Bearish Harami
Standard Logic: A small candle forms within the high-low range of the previous candle. This can often be misleading if the prior candle has long wicks and a tiny body.
Our Enhanced Logic: We enforce a "dual containment" rule. For a Harami to be valid, its body must be contained within the body of the previous candle. We also ensure the Harami candle itself is not a Doji, meaning it must show some conviction.
Why It's More Accurate: This ensures you are seeing a genuine and significant contraction in momentum. It filters out scenarios where a large-bodied candle forms inside the wicks of a doji-like candle, which is not a true Harami. Our logic captures the "pregnant" pattern as it was intended—a moment of quiet consolidation before a potential new move.
3. The "Power" Bullish & Bearish Engulfing
Standard Logic: A candle's body engulfs the body of the previous candle. This is a common signal, but it often lacks follow-through.
Our Enhanced Logic: Our "Power Engulfing" requires two conditions: (1) The body must engulf the prior candle's body, AND (2) the candle must close beyond the entire high/low range of the prior candle.
Why It's More Accurate: This is the ultimate sign of confirmation. It doesn't just show that one side has won the battle for the session; it proves they had enough force to break the entire structure of the previous candle. This signifies immense momentum and dramatically increases the probability that the trend will continue in the direction of the engulfing candle.
4. The Quantified Doji
Our Logic: Instead of being a subjective pattern, a Doji is defined quantitatively. It's a candle whose body is less than or equal to a user-defined percentage (default 9%) of its total range.
Why It's More Accurate: It provides a consistent and objective measure of market indecision. Furthermore, any candle identified as a Doji is automatically disqualified from being a Hammer, ensuring clear and distinct signals.
User Customization
Toggle Patterns On/Off: Declutter your chart by only showing the patterns you want to see.
Fine-Tune Logic: Use the "Pattern Logic" settings to adjust the sensitivity of the Doji and Harami detectors to perfectly match your trading style, asset, and timeframe.
Disclaimer: This indicator is a powerful tool for identifying high-probability price action. However, no single indicator is a complete trading system. Always use these signals as part of a comprehensive strategy, combined with analysis of market structure, support/resistance levels, and other forms of confluence.
ICT IRL & ERL ZonesICT IRL & ERL Zones
This indicator visualizes Internal Range Liquidity (IRL) and External Range Liquidity (ERL) levels, based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts. It's designed to help traders identify key liquidity zones that often act as magnet levels or reversal points in price action.
🔍 How It Works
Lookback Range: The script analyzes the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined number of candles (default: 50).
IRL (Internal Range Liquidity):
Plots the highest high and lowest low within the lookback period.
Represented as orange lines and a shaded zone.
ERL (External Range Liquidity):
Extends the IRL boundaries by a small buffer (50 ticks above/below).
Visualizes zones where price may reach for liquidity beyond the current range.
Plotted as a green (high) and red (low) line.
⚙️ Inputs
Lookback Range: Number of candles to calculate the range (min 5).
Show IRL: Toggle visibility for Internal Range Liquidity zone.
Show ERL: Toggle visibility for External Range Liquidity buffer zone.
📊 Visual Elements
IRL High/Low: Orange lines with fill to mark the main liquidity range.
ERL High/Low: Green and red lines indicating potential liquidity sweep zones.
Zone Fill: Light orange shading to visually emphasize the IRL area.
📈 Use Case
Use this tool to:
Identify areas where price might consolidate or reverse.
Highlight likely zones of liquidity grabs before trend continuations or shifts.
Enhance entry/exit decisions based on smart money concepts.
Smarter Money Flow Divergence Detector [PhenLabs]📊 Smarter Money Flow Divergence Detector

The institutional bias component helps identify market sentiment shifts, while divergence signals provide specific entry opportunities. For optimal results, use on liquid markets with consistent institutional participation and combine with additional technical analysis methods.
Trapper Market Structure (HH, HL, LH, LL)This script is designed to visually identify price action market structure in real time using pivot-based logic. It highlights the key components of trend direction by labeling:
- **HH** – Higher Highs
- **HL** – Higher Lows
- **LH** – Lower Highs
- **LL** – Lower Lows
These labels help traders track evolving market conditions and spot trend continuations, breaks in structure, or potential reversals — all without guessing.
**How It Works**
The script detects local swing highs and lows based on a customizable pivot strength. Once a valid pivot is confirmed, it’s classified in context with the previous relevant pivot to determine its structural significance.
For example:
- If a pivot high is higher than the previous, it’s marked as a **HH**.
- If a pivot low is lower than the previous, it’s marked as a **LL**, and so on.
This running analysis helps traders anticipate shifts between bullish and bearish structures.
**Customizable Features**
- Adjust **Pivot Strength** to increase or reduce sensitivity (more reactive or more stable)
- Toggle **Labels** on/off for cleaner charts
- Toggle **Connecting Lines** between pivots to visualize structure flow
**Use Case**
This indicator is ideal for:
- Price action traders
- Market structure analysis
- Identifying entry zones during pullbacks (e.g., buying at HLs during uptrends)
- Confirming trend reversals or break-of-structure (BoS)
You can use this tool as a foundation for more advanced systems such as CHoCH/BOS detection, liquidity zones, or sniper-style entry frameworks.
**Concepts Used**
- Swing High/Low detection using `ta.pivothigh` and `ta.pivotlow`
- Market structure labeling logic
- Visual flow to reinforce trader psychology on trend states

15Min Opening Range & Midline (UTC+2) This TradingView script draws the 15-minute Opening Range of the day based on a user-defined start time and plots the high, low, and midline of this range. It works by capturing the high and low of the first 15 minutes of the session, and then extending them for the rest of the trading day. The midline is calculated as the average of the high and low values.
Key Features:
User-configurable start time: Define the hour and minute for when the opening range should start based on your local time zone.
Line customization: Choose the color and line style (solid, dashed, dotted) for the high, low, and midline.
Easy-to-read visual representation: The high and low lines extend across the chart from the range start, with the midline placed in the center.
Dynamic updates: The indicator resets at the start of each new trading day and updates the opening range lines accordingly.
Perfect for:
Traders looking to monitor the initial market range during the first 15 minutes of trading.
Identifying key support and resistance levels based on early price action.
Providing a midline to assess market bias and potential breakouts.
Notes:
The indicator calculates everything based on the local time zone you define and automatically adjusts to your desired start time.
It will not redraw lines; once drawn, they remain on the chart until the next session.
Pin Bar Highlighter OnlyAbsolutely — here’s a full **description and breakdown** of what the script does:
---
## 📜 Script Name:
**"Pin Bar Highlighter Only"**
---
## 🎯 Purpose:
This script **detects and highlights classic pin bar reversal candles** directly on the chart — without plotting any entry, stop loss, or take profit levels.
It’s designed for traders who:
* Want to manually assess trades
* Prefer a clean chart
* Use pin bar price action as a signal for potential reversals
---
## ✅ What It Does:
* **Scans each candle** to check if it qualifies as a **bullish** or **bearish pin bar**
* If valid:
* Plots a **green triangle below** bullish pin bars
* Plots a **red triangle above** bearish pin bars
* Keeps your chart **minimal and uncluttered**
---
## 📌 How It Detects a Pin Bar:
### 🔹 1. Candle Structure:
* Measures the total candle range: `high - low`
* Calculates the **body size**: `abs(close - open)`
* Calculates the **upper and lower wick sizes**
### 🔹 2. Pin Bar Criteria:
* The **wick (nose)** must be at least **2/3 of the total candle length**
* The **body** must be small — **≤ 1/3** of the total range
* The **body** must be located at **one end** of the candle
* The wick must **pierce the high/low** of the previous candle
---
## 📍 Bullish Pin Bar Requirements:
* Close > Open (green candle)
* Lower wick ≥ 66% of candle range
* Body ≤ 33% of range
* Candle **makes a new low** (current low < previous low)
### 📍 Bearish Pin Bar Requirements:
* Close < Open (red candle)
* Upper wick ≥ 66% of candle range
* Body ≤ 33% of range
* Candle **makes a new high** (current high > previous high)
---
## 🖼️ Visual Output:
* 🔻 Red triangle **above** bearish pin bars
* 🔺 Green triangle **below** bullish pin bars
---
## 🛠️ Example Use Cases:
* Identify **reversal points** at support/resistance
* Confirm signals with **VWAP**, supply/demand zones, or AVWAP (manually plotted)
* Use in **conjunction with other strategies** — without clutter

### OVERVIEW
**Auto Darvas Boxes** is a fully-automated, event-driven implementation of Nicolas Darvas’s 1950s box methodology.
The script tracks consolidation zones in real time, verifies that price truly “respects” those zones for a fixed validation window, then waits for the first decisive range violation to mark a directional breakout.
Every box is plotted end-to-end—from the first candle of the sideways range to the exact candle that ruptures it—giving you an on-chart, visually precise record of accumulation or distribution and the expansion that follows.
---
### HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
* Nicolas Darvas was a professional ballroom dancer who traded U.S. equities by telegram while touring the world.
* Without live news or Level II, he relied exclusively on **price** to infer institutional intent.
* His core insight: true market-moving entities leave footprints in the form of tight ranges; once their buying (or selling) is complete, price erupts out of the “box.”
* Darvas’s original procedure was manual—he kept notebooks, drew rectangles around highs and lows, and entered only when price punched out of the roof of a valid box.
* This indicator distills that logic into a rolling, self-resetting state machine so you never miss a box or breakout on any timeframe.
---
### ALGORITHM DETAIL (FOUR-STATE MACHINE)
**STATE 0 – RANGE DEFINITION**
• Examine the last *N* candles (default 7).
• Record `rangeHigh = highest(high, N) + tolerance`.
• Record `rangeLow = lowest(low, N) – tolerance`.
• Remember the index of the earliest bar in this window (`startBar`).
• Immediately transition to STATE 1.
**STATE 1 – RANGE VALIDATION**
• Observe the next *N* candles (again default 7).
• If **any** candle prints `high > rangeHigh` or `low < rangeLow`, the validation fails and the engine resets to STATE 0 **beginning at the violating candle**—no halfway boxes, no overlap.
• If all *N* candles remain inside the range, the box becomes **armed** and we transition to STATE 2.
**STATE 2 – ARMED (LIVE VISUAL FEEDBACK)**
• Draw a **green horizontal line** at `rangeHigh`.
• Draw a **red horizontal line** at `rangeLow`.
• Lines are extended in real time so the user can see the “live” Darvas ceiling and floor.
• Engine waits indefinitely for a breakout candle:
– **Up-Breakout** if `high > rangeHigh`.
– **Down-Breakout** if `low < rangeLow`.
**STATE 3 – BREAKOUT & COOLDOWN**
• Upon breakout the script:
1. Deletes the live range lines.
2. Draws a **filled rectangle (box)** from `startBar` to the breakout bar.
◦ **Green fill** when price exits above the ceiling.
◦ **Red fill** when price exits below the floor.
3. Optionally prints two labels at the left edge of the box:
◦ Dollar distance = `rangeHigh − rangeLow`.
◦ Percentage distance = `(rangeHigh − rangeLow) / rangeLow × 100 %`.
• After painting, the script waits a **user-defined cooldown** (default = 7 bars) before reverting to STATE 0. The cooldown guarantees separation between consecutive tests and prevents overlapping rectangles.
---
### INPUT PARAMETERS (ALL ADJUSTABLE FROM THE SETTINGS PANEL)
* **BARS TO DEFINE RANGE** – Number of candles used for both the definition and validation windows. Classic Darvas logic uses 7 but feel free to raise it on higher timeframes or volatile instruments.
* **OPTIONAL TOLERANCE** – Absolute price buffer added above the ceiling and below the floor. Use a small tolerance to ignore single-tick spikes or data-feed noise.
* **COOLDOWN BARS AFTER BREAKOUT** – How long the engine pauses before hunting for the next consolidation. Setting this equal to the range length produces non-overlapping, evenly spaced boxes.
* **SHOW BOX DISTANCE LABELS** – Toggle on/off. When on, each completed box displays its vertical size in both dollars and percentage, anchored at the box’s left edge.
---
### REAL-TIME VISUALISATION
* During the **armed** phase you see two extended, colour-coded guide-lines showing the exact high/low that must hold.
* When the breakout finally occurs, those lines vanish and the rectangle instantly appears, coloured to match the breakout direction.
* This immediate visual feedback turns any chart into a live Darvas tape—no manual drawing, no lag.
---
### PRACTICAL USE-CASES & BEST-PRACTICE WORKFLOWS
* **INTRADAY MOMENTUM** – Drop the script on 1- to 15-minute charts to catch tight coils before they explode. The coloured box marks the precise origin of the expansion; stops can sit just inside the opposite side of the box.
* **SWING & POSITION TRADING** – On 4-hour or daily charts, boxes often correspond to accumulation bases or volatility squeezes. Waiting for the box-validated breakout filters many false signals.
* **MEAN-REVERSION OR “FADE” STRATEGIES** – If a breakout immediately fails and price re-enters the box, you may have trapped momentum traders; fading that failure can be lucrative.
* **RISK MANAGEMENT** – Box extremes provide objective, structure-based stop levels rather than arbitrary ATR multiples.
* **BACK-TEST RESEARCH** – Because each box is plotted from first range candle to breakout candle, you can programmatically measure hold time, range height, and post-breakout expectancy for any asset.
---
### CUSTOMISATION IDEAS FOR POWER USERS
* **VOLATILITY-ADAPTIVE WINDOW** – Replace the fixed 7-bar length with a dynamic value tied to ATR percentile so the consolidation window stretches or compresses with volatility.
* **MULTI-TIMEFRAME LOGIC** – Only arm a 5-minute box if the 1-hour trend is aligned.
* **STRATEGY WRAPPER** – Convert the indicator to a full `strategy{}` script, automate entries on breakouts, and benchmark performance across assets.
* **ALERTS** – Create TradingView alerts on both up-breakout and down-breakout conditions; route them to webhook for broker automation.
---
### FINAL THOUGHTS
**Auto Darvas Boxes** packages one of the market’s oldest yet still potent price-action frameworks into a modern, self-resetting indicator. Whether you trade equities, futures, crypto, or forex, the script highlights genuine contraction-expansion sequences—Darvas’s original “boxes”—with zero manual effort, letting you focus solely on execution and risk.
Alpha Beta Gamma with Volume CandleAlpha Beta Gamma with Volume Candle
This Pine Script indicator analyzes price dynamics and volume activity to assist traders in identifying momentum, reversals, and key price levels. It calculates three proprietary metrics—Alpha, Beta, and Gamma—based on a user-selected price type (e.g., Open, Close, HL2) and timeframe, using a lookback period (default 37 bars). These metrics normalize price movements relative to the range of highs and lows, helping traders gauge market strength and positioning.
How It Works:
Alpha: Measures the distance of the selected price from the lowest price over the lookback period, normalized by the period length.
Beta: Represents the full price range (high minus low) over the lookback period, scaled by the period length.
Gamma: Normalizes the price’s position within the high-low range, providing a 0–1 scale for relative positioning.
Volume Analysis: The script classifies candles based on volume thresholds relative to a simple moving average (SMA, default 400 bars). High volume (≥ 2x SMA), low volume (≤ 0.5x SMA), and strong signal volume (≥ 1.5x SMA) trigger distinct candle colors to highlight bullish (e.g., deep blue, violet) or bearish (e.g., aqua, pink) conditions.
Custom Bands: Nine horizontal levels (0 to 1, divided into eight equal parts) act as dynamic support/resistance zones, useful for grid-based trading or breakout strategies.
How to Use:
Inputs:
Chart Timeframe: Select the timeframe for price data (e.g., 1H, 1D).
Price Type: Choose the price metric (e.g., Close, HL2) for calculations.
ABG Length: Adjust the lookback period (default 37) for sensitivity.
Volume MA Length: Set the SMA period for volume analysis (default 400).
Volume Thresholds: Customize high, low, and strong volume multipliers.
Visual Settings: Toggle labels, custom bands, and table display; adjust line styles, label sizes, and table positions.
Interpretation:
Use Alpha, Beta, and Gamma plots to assess price momentum and range dynamics.
Monitor colored candles for volume-driven signals (e.g., violet for strong bullish volume).
Leverage custom bands for support/resistance or breakout trading.
Check the table for real-time ABG values and percentage changes.
Settings Tips:
For scalping, reduce the ABG Length (e.g., 20) and use a shorter timeframe (e.g., 5M).
For swing trading, increase the Volume MA Length (e.g., 600) for more stable volume signals.
Enable labels and custom bands for visual clarity on key levels.
This indicator is versatile for various trading styles, combining price-based metrics with volume analysis to enhance decision-making.

ICT SMC Liquidity Grabs and OBsICT SMC Liquidity Grabs + Order Blocks + Fibonacci OTE Levels
A High-Probability Entry Engine for Smart Money Concept Traders
This script combines three powerful Smart Money Concepts (SMC) into a single tool: Liquidity Grabs, Order Block Zones, and Fibonacci OTE Levels, allowing traders to identify institutional entry models with clean, rule-based visual signals.
It’s designed to simplify SMC trading by highlighting confluence zones where price is likely to reverse or continue — with clear visual zones, entry arrows, and take profit projections.
🔍 What This Script Does:
Detects Liquidity Grabs
Identifies when price sweeps above/below the highest high or lowest low within a user-defined lookback period and closes back inside.
Plots orange labels on the chart to signal potential liquidity events (LG-H / LG-L).
Plots Order Blocks After Liquidity Grabs
After a liquidity grab, the script looks for displacement candles (strong bullish or bearish moves) and draws highlighted OB zones extending several bars to the right.
These zones represent potential institutional footprints for price reversals.
Draws Fibonacci OTE Levels (Optimal Trade Entry)
Uses recent swing high and low pivots to automatically calculate OTE zones (default: 62% and 75% retracement levels).
Draws these retracement zones for both bullish and bearish setups.
Marks Valid OTE Entry Zones
Buy/Sell zones only trigger when:
A liquidity grab occurs,
Price enters the OTE zone,
And a strong confirming candle is present.
Plots green/red arrows for valid buy/sell OTE entries.
Auto-Draws Take Profit Zones
TP1 = Previous swing high/low
TP2 = Risk-based R-multiplied extension (e.g., 1.5R — customizable)
Alerts
Triggers alerts when valid buy or sell OTE setups are detected.
⚙️ Customization Features:
Toggle each feature: Liquidity Grabs, Order Blocks, Fibonacci OTE levels
Set Fibonacci retracement percentages (e.g., 0.62 / 0.75)
Adjust lookback window for liquidity detection
Customize the take-profit multiplier (R-based)
Full control over visuals: colors, labels, and lines
💡 How to Use:
Use this script to scan for high-confluence trade setups based on Smart Money principles.
Combine with session timing (e.g., New York open), major swing structure, or Kill Zone windows for maximum edge.
Look for arrows inside OB zones or OTE levels following liquidity sweeps for cleaner entries.
🔗 Works Best With:
✅ First FVG — Opening Range Fair Value Gap Detector: Identify early inefficiencies to set the narrative for the day.
✅ Liquidity Levels — Smart Swing Lows: Spot key structural lows that can fuel stop hunts and reversals.
✅ ICT Turtle Soup — Liquidity Reversal: Add a classic reversal pattern to your toolkit to catch fakeouts cleanly.
Together, these tools build a complete Smart Money ecosystem for entry precision, risk management, and price behavior forecasting.
ICT Turtle Soup (Liquidity Reversal)ICT Turtle Soup — Liquidity Reversal Detection
Classic Liquidity Trap Reversal Strategy for Smart Money Traders
This indicator implements the ICT Turtle Soup concept — a classic liquidity-based reversal pattern — which occurs when price runs above or below a recent swing level to grab liquidity, then sharply reverses. This pattern is commonly used in Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Inner Circle Trader (ICT) strategies to anticipate false breakouts and high-probability reversals.
🔍 What This Script Does:
Identifies Swing Highs & Lows
Detects recent swing highs and lows using a customizable lookback period.
Tracks Liquidity Grabs
A bearish Turtle Soup setup is triggered when price breaks above a recent swing high but closes back below it.
A bullish Turtle Soup setup is triggered when price breaks below a recent swing low but closes back above it.
These conditions often signal liquidity traps, where price sweeps resting orders before reversing.
Plots Signals Directly on the Chart
Turtle Soup setups are marked with 🐢🔻 (bearish) and 🐢🔺 (bullish) labels.
Optional full-text labels can also be displayed for clarity and journaling.
Includes Alert Conditions
Alerts can be enabled to notify you of bullish or bearish Turtle Soup reversals in real-time.
⚙️ Customization Features:
Adjustable swing lookback period
Enable/disable Turtle Soup labels
Set label font size
Choose your preferred bullish/bearish signal colors
💡 How to Use:
Add this script to your chart (ideally on intraday timeframes such as 5m–15m).
Wait for a Turtle Soup signal near a key swing high/low or liquidity zone.
Combine with other confirmation tools (e.g., FVGs, Order Blocks, OTE) for stronger setups.
Use alerts to stay ahead of fast-moving reversals.
🧠 Why It Works:
Turtle Soup setups are rooted in liquidity theory — they exploit the market’s tendency to sweep obvious swing levels before reversing. These moves often trap retail traders and mark the beginning of Smart Money entries.
🔗 Best Used With:
Maximize the edge by combining this with other SMC tools:
✅ First FVG — Opening Range Fair Value Gap Detector
✅ ICT SMC Liquidity Grabs + OB + Fibonacci OTE Levels
✅ Liquidity Levels — Smart Swing Lows
Together, they create a complete ecosystem for identifying, confirming, and executing liquidity-driven trade setups with precision.
Bull Bear Pivot by RawstocksThe "Bull Bear Pivot" indicator is a custom Pine Script (v5) tool designed for TradingView to assist traders in identifying key price levels and pivot points on intraday charts (up to 1-hour timeframes). It combines time-based open price markers, pivot high/low detection, and candlestick visualization to provide a comprehensive view of potential support, resistance, and trend reversal levels. Below is a detailed description of the indicator’s functionality, features, and intended use.
Indicator Overview:
The "Bull Bear Pivot" indicator is tailored for intraday trading, focusing on specific times of the day to mark significant price levels (open prices) and detect pivot points. It plots horizontal lines at the open prices of user-defined sessions, identifies pivot highs and lows on the current chart timeframe, and overlays custom candlesticks to highlight price action. The indicator is designed to work on timeframes of 1 hour or less (e.g., 1-minute, 3-minute, 5-minute, 15-minute, 30-minute, 60-minute) and includes a warning mechanism for invalid timeframes.
Key Features:
Time-Based Open Price Markers:
The indicator allows users to define up to five time-based sessions (e.g., 4:00 AM, 8:30 AM, 9:30 AM, 10:00 AM, and a custom time) to capture the open price at the start of each session.
For each session, it plots a horizontal line at the 1-minute open price, extending from the session start to the market close at 4:00 PM EST.
Each line is accompanied by a label positioned 5 bars to the right of the market close (4:00 PM EST), with the text right-aligned and vertically centered on the line.
Users can enable/disable each marker, customize the session time, label text, line color, and text color via the indicator’s settings.
Pivot Highs and Lows:
The indicator calculates pivot highs and lows on the current chart timeframe using the ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow functions.
Pivot highs are marked with green triangles above the bars, and pivot lows are marked with red triangles below the bars.
The pivot period (lookback/lookforward) is user-configurable, allowing flexibility in detecting short-term or longer-term reversals.
Custom Candlesticks:
The indicator overlays custom candlesticks on the chart, colored green for bullish candles (close > open) and red for bearish candles (close < open).
This feature helps visualize price action alongside the open price markers and pivot points.
Timeframe Restriction:
The indicator is designed to work on timeframes of 1 hour or less. If the chart timeframe exceeds 1 hour (e.g., 4-hour, daily), a warning label ("Timeframe > 1H\nIndicator Disabled") is displayed, and no elements are plotted.
Customizable Appearance:
Users can customize the appearance of the open price marker lines, including the line style (solid, dashed, dotted) and line width.
Labels for the open price markers have no background (transparent) and use customizable text colors.
Key LevelsI couldn't find an indicator that plotted previous day and intraday key levels like I wanted.
This indicator plots key levels on the chart:
Current session high (HOD) and low (LOD)
Previous day high (PDH), low (PDL), and close (PDC)
Overnight high (ONH) and low (ONL) based on a defined overnight window
At the start of a new session (day), the indicator resets its values and creates a new set of labels.
These labels are positioned in a fixed horizontal column (offset from the current bar) and are updated each bar so that they remain vertically aligned with their corresponding level (with a small vertical offset).
Inputs you can modify:
Futures Mode and session times for equities and futures.
Horizontal label offset (in bars) and vertical offset (price units) for label positioning.
Colors, line widths, and styles for each level (day high, day low, overnight high/low, previous day levels).
Adjust these inputs to match your market hours and desired appearance.
Zero background in coding, but worked with chatGPT to develop this, and it works for me. Would welcome any and all feedback.

Previous Day LevelsThis indicator plots the previous day's high, low, and 50% levels, providing a framework for analyzing price behavior relative to these key levels.
Full Description:
The Previous Day Levels indicator is a tool designed to help traders analyze price action based on key levels from the previous trading session. By plotting the high, low, and mid-point (50%) of the prior day’s range, traders can assess potential market bias and directional tendencies for the current trading day.
Key Features:
Plots the previous day’s high (100%), low (0%), and intermediate levels (25%, 50%, 75%).
Allows users to customize line visibility, color, style, and width.
Helps traders identify potential support and resistance zones.
Provides a bias framework for determining whether price is more likely to target the previous high or low based on behavior around the 50% level.
Use Case:
This indicator is particularly useful for intraday and short-term traders who incorporate price action into their strategy.
If price trades above the 50% level and holds, it suggests a bullish bias, indicating that price may aim for the previous day's high.
If price trades below the 50% level and holds, it suggests a bearish bias, indicating that price may aim for the previous day's low.
The high and low levels can act as key support and resistance zones, where price may react or reverse.
How to Use:
Apply the indicator to your chart.
Observe how price interacts with the 50% level.
Use price behavior around these levels to establish a directional bias.
Adjust the line styles and colors to match your personal preference.
Disclaimer:
This indicator is a tool for market analysis and does not provide financial advice. Always perform your own analysis and risk management when trading.
Uptrick: Time Based ReversionIntroduction
The Uptrick: Time Based Reversion indicator is designed to provide a comprehensive view of market momentum and potential trend shifts by combining multiple moving averages, a streak-based trend analysis system, and adaptive color visualization. It helps traders identify strong trends, spot potential reversals, and make more informed trading decisions.
Purpose
The primary goal of this indicator is to assist traders in distinguishing between sustained market movements and short-lived fluctuations. By evaluating how price behaves relative to its moving averages, and by measuring consecutive streaks above or below these averages, the indicator highlights areas where trends are likely to continue or lose momentum.
Overview
Uptrick: Time Based Reversion calculates one or more moving averages of price data and then tracks the number of consecutive bars (streaks) above or below these averages. This streak-based detection provides insight into whether a trend is gaining strength or nearing a potential reversal point. The indicator offers:
• Multiple moving average types (SMA, EMA, WMA)
• Optional second and third moving average layers for additional smoothing of first moving average
• A streak detection system to quantify trend intensity
• A dynamic color scheme that changes with streak strength
• Optional buy and sell signals for potential trade entries and exits
• A ribbon mode that applies moving averages to Open, High, Low, and Close prices for a more detailed visualization of overall trend alignment
Originality and Uniqueness
Unlike traditional moving average indicators, Uptrick: Time Based Reversion incorporates a streak measurement system to detect trend strength. This approach helps clarify whether a price movement is merely a quick fluctuation or part of a longer-lasting trend. Additionally, the optional ribbon mode extends this logic to Open, High, Low, and Close prices, creating a layered and intuitive visualization that shows complete trend alignment.
Inputs and Features
1. Enable Ribbon Mode
This input lets you activate or deactivate the ribbon display of multiple moving averages. When enabled, the script plots moving averages for the Open, High, Low, and Close prices and uses color fills to show whether these four data points are collectively above or below their respective moving averages.
2. Color Scheme Selection
Users can choose from several predefined color schemes, such as Default, Emerald, Crimson, Sapphire, Gold, Purple, Teal, Orange, Gray, Lime, or Aqua. Each scheme assigns distinct bullish, bearish and neutral colors..
3. Show Buy/Sell Signals
The indicator can display buy or sell signals based on its streak analysis logic. These signals appear as markers on the chart, indicating a “Safe Uptrend” (buy) or “Safe Downtrend” (sell).
4. Moving Average Types and Lengths
• First MA Type and Length: Choose SMA, EMA, or WMA along with a customizable period.
• Second and Third MA Types and Lengths: You can optionally stack additional moving averages for further smoothing, each with its own customizable type and period.
5. Streak Threshold Multiplier
This numeric input determines how strong a streak must be before the script considers it a “safe” trend. A higher multiplier requires a longer or more intense streak for a buy or sell signal.
6. Dynamic Transparency Calculation
The color intensity adapts to the streak’s strength. Longer streaks increase the transparency of the opposing color, making the current dominant color stand out. This feature ensures that a vigorous uptrend or downtrend is visually distinct from short-lived or weaker moves.
7. Ribbon Moving Averages
In ribbon mode, the script calculates moving averages for the Open, High, Low, and Close prices. Each of these is optionally smoothed again if the second and/or third moving average layers are active. The final result is a ribbon of moving averages that helps confirm whether the market is uniformly aligned above or below these key reference points.
Calculation Methodology
1. Initial Moving Average
The script calculates the first moving average (SMA, EMA, or WMA) of the closing price over a user-defined period.
2. Optional Secondary and Tertiary Averages
If selected, the script then applies a second and/or third smoothing step. Each of these steps can be a different type of moving average (SMA, EMA, or WMA) with its own period length.
3. Streak Detection
The indicator counts consecutive bars above or below the smoothed moving average. A running total (streakUp or streakDown) increments with every bar that remains above or below that average.
4. Reversion Intensity
The script compares the current streak value to its own average (calculated over the final chosen period). This ratio determines whether the streak is nearing a likely reversion or is strong enough to continue.
5. Color Assignment and Signals
The indicator calculates color transparency based on streak intensity. Buy and sell signals appear when the streak meets or exceeds the threshold multiplier, indicating a safe uptrend or downtrend.
Color Schemes and Visualization
This indicator offers multiple predefined color sets. Each scheme specifies a unique bullish color, bearish color and neutral color. The script automatically varies transparency to highlight strong trends and fade weaker ones, making it visually clear when a trend is intensifying or losing momentum.
Smoothing Techniques
By allowing up to three layers of moving average smoothing, the indicator accommodates different trading styles. A single layer provides faster reactions to market changes, while more layers reduce noise at the cost of slower responsiveness. Traders can choose the right balance between responsiveness and stability for their strategy, whether it is short-term scalping or long-term trend following.
Why It Combines Specific Smoothing Techniques
The Uptrick: Time Based Reversion indicator strategically combines specific smoothing techniques—SMA, EMA, and WMA—to leverage their complementary strengths. The SMA provides stable and consistent trend identification by equally weighting all data points, while the EMA emphasizes recent price movements, allowing quicker responses to market changes. WMA enhances sensitivity to recent price shifts, which helps in detecting subtle momentum changes early. By integrating these methods in layers, the indicator effectively balances responsiveness with stability, helping traders clearly identify genuine trend changes while filtering out short-term noise and false signals.
Ribbon Mode
If Open, High, Low, and Close prices remain above or below their respective moving averages consistently, the script colors the bars fully bullish or bearish. When the data points are mixed, a neutral color is applied. This mode provides a thorough perspective on whether the entire price range is aligned in one direction or showing conflicting signals.
Summary
Uptrick: Time Based Reversion combines multiple moving averages, streak detection, and dynamic color adjustments to help traders identify significant trends and potential reversal areas. Its flexibility allows it to be used either in a simpler form, with one moving average and streak analysis, or in a more advanced configuration with ribbon mode that charts multiple smoothed averages for a deeper understanding of price alignment. By adapting color intensities based on streak strength and providing optional buy/sell signals, this indicator delivers a clear and flexible tool suited to various trading strategies.
Disclaimer
This indicator is designed as an analysis aid and does not guarantee profitable trades. Past performance does not indicate future success, and market conditions can change unexpectedly. Users are advised to employ proper risk management and thoroughly evaluate trades before taking positions. Use this indicator as part of a broader strategy, not as a sole decision-making tool.
Divergence IQ [TradingIQ]Hello Traders!
Introducing "Divergence IQ"
Divergence IQ lets traders identify divergences between price action and almost ANY TradingView technical indicator. This tool is designed to help you spot potential trend reversals and continuation patterns with a range of configurable features.
Features
Divergence Detection
Detects both regular and hidden divergences for bullish and bearish setups by comparing price movements with changes in the indicator.
Offers two detection methods: one based on classic pivot point analysis and another that provides immediate divergence signals.
Option to use closing prices for divergence detection, allowing you to choose the data that best fits your strategy.
Normalization Options:
Includes multiple normalization techniques such as robust scaling, rolling Z-score, rolling min-max, or no normalization at all.
Adjustable normalization window lets you customize the indicator to suit various market conditions.
Option to display the normalized indicator on the chart for clearer visual comparison.
Allows traders to take indicators that aren't oscillators, and convert them into an oscillator - allowing for better divergence detection.
Simulated Trade Management:
Integrates simulated trade entries and exits based on divergence signals to demonstrate potential trading outcomes.
Customizable exit strategies with options for ATR-based or percentage-based stop loss and profit target settings.
Automatically calculates key trade metrics such as profit percentage, win rate, profit factor, and total trade count.
Visual Enhancements and On-Chart Displays:
Color-coded signals differentiate between bullish, bearish, hidden bullish, and hidden bearish divergence setups.
On-chart labels, lines, and gradient flow visualizations clearly mark divergence signals, entry points, and exit levels.
Configurable settings let you choose whether to display divergence signals on the price chart or in a separate pane.
Performance Metrics Table:
A performance table dynamically displays important statistics like profit, win rate, profit factor, and number of trades.
This feature offers an at-a-glance assessment of how the divergence-based strategy is performing.

The image above shows Divergence IQ successfully identifying and trading a hidden bearish divergence between an indicator and price action!
The performance table is designed to provide a clear summary of simulated trade results based on divergence setups. You can easily review key metrics to assess the strategy’s effectiveness over different time periods.
Customization and Adaptability
Divergence IQ offers a wide range of configurable settings to tailor the indicator to your personal trading approach. You can adjust the lookback and lookahead periods for pivot detection, select your preferred method for normalization, and modify trade exit parameters to manage risk according to your strategy. The tool’s clear visual elements and comprehensive performance metrics make it a useful addition to your technical analysis toolbox.
The image above shows Divergence IQ identifying divergences between price action and OBV with no normalization technique applied.
While traders can look for divergences between OBV and price, OBV doesn't naturally behave like an oscillator, with no definable upper and lower threshold, OBV can infinitely increase or decrease.
With Divergence IQ's ability to normalize any indicator, traders can normalize non-oscillator technical indicators such as OBV, CVD, MACD, or even a moving average.
In the image above, the "Robust Scaling" normalization technique is selected. Consequently, the output of OBV has changed and is now behaving similar to an oscillator-like technical indicator. This makes spotting divergences between the indicator and price easier and more appropriate.
The three normalization techniques included will change the indicator's final output to be more compatible with divergence detection.
This feature can be used with almost any technical indicator.
Stop Type
Traders can select between ATR based profit targets and stop losses, or percentage based profit targets and stop losses.
The image above shows options for the feature.
Divergence Detection Method
A natural pitfall of divergence trading is that it generally takes several bars to "confirm" a divergence. This makes trading the divergence complicated, because the entry at time of the divergence might look great; however, the divergence wasn't actually signaled until several bars later.
To circumvent this issue, Divergence IQ offers two divergence detection mechanisms.
Pivot Detection
Pivot detection mode is the same as almost every divergence indicator on TradingView. The Pivots High Low indicator is used to detect market/indicator highs and lows and, consequently, divergences.
This method generally finds the "best looking" divergences, but will always take additional time to confirm the divergence.
Immediate Detection
Immediate detection mode attempts to reduce lag between the divergence and its confirmation to as little as possible while avoiding repainting.
Immediate detection mode still uses the Pivots Detection model to find the first high/low of a divergence. However, the most recent high/low does not utilize the Pivot Detection model, and instead immediately looks for a divergence between price and an indicator.
Immediate Detection Mode will always signal a divergence one bar after it's occurred, and traders can set alerts in this mode to be alerted as soon as the divergence occurs.
TradingView Backtester Integration
Divergence IQ is fully compatible with the TradingView backtester!
Divergence IQ isn’t designed to be a “profitable strategy” for users to trade. Instead, the intention of including the backtester is to let users backtest divergence-based trading strategies between the asset on their chart and almost any technical indicator, and to see if divergences have any predictive utility in that market.
So while the backtester is available in Divergence IQ, it’s for users to personally figure out if they should consider a divergence an actionable insight, and not a solicitation that Divergence IQ is a profitable trading strategy. Divergence IQ should be thought of as a Divergence backtesting toolkit, not a full-feature trading strategy.
Strategy Properties Used For Backtest
Initial Capital: $1000 - a realistic amount of starting capital that will resonate with many traders
Amount Per Trade: 5% of equity - a realistic amount of capital to invest relative to portfolio size
Commission: 0.02% - a conservative amount of commission to pay for trade that is standard in crypto trading, and very high for other markets.
Slippage: 1 tick - appropriate for liquid markets, but must be increased in markets with low activity.
Once more, the backtester is meant for traders to personally figure out if divergences are actionable trading signals on the market they wish to trade with the indicator they wish to use.
And that's all!
