Breaker Blocks + Order Blocks confirm [TradingFinder] BBOB Alert🔵 Introduction
In the realm of technical analysis, various tools and concepts are employed to identify key levels on price charts. These tools assist traders in analyzing market trends with greater precision, enabling them to optimize their trading decisions. Among these tools, the Order Block and Breaker Block hold a significant place, serving as effective instruments for analyzing market structure.
🟣 Order Block
An Order Block refers to zones on a chart where large financial institutions and high-volume traders place their orders. Due to the substantial volume of buy or sell orders in these areas, they are often regarded as pivotal points for potential price reversals or temporary pauses in a trend. Order Blocks are particularly crucial when prices react to these zones after a strong market move, acting as strong support or resistance levels.
🟣 Breaker Block
On the other hand, a Breaker Block refers to areas on a chart that previously functioned as Order Blocks but where the price has managed to break through and continue in the opposite direction. These zones are typically recognized as key points where market trends might shift, helping traders identify potential reversal points in the market.
🟣 Overlapping Block (BBOB)
Now, imagine a scenario where these two essential concepts in technical analysis—Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks—overlap on a chart. Although this overlap is not specifically discussed within the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) trading framework, exploring and utilizing this overlap can provide traders with powerful insights into strong support and resistance zones. The combination of these two robust concepts can highlight critical areas in trading, potentially offering significant advantages in making informed trading decisions.
In this article, we will delve into the concept of this overlap, explaining how to utilize it in trading strategies. Additionally, we will analyze the potential outcomes and benefits of incorporating this concept into your trading decisions.

🔵 How to Use
The overlap between Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks is a compelling and powerful concept that can help traders identify key levels on the chart with a high probability of success. This overlap is particularly valuable because it combines two well-regarded concepts in technical analysis—zones of high order volume and critical market shifts.
🟣 Here’s how to effectively use this overlap in your trading
1. Dentifying the Overlapping Block : To make the most of the overlap between Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks, begin by identifying these zones separately. Order Blocks are areas where price typically reacts and reverses after a strong market move.
Breaker Blocks are areas where a previous Order Block has been breached, and the price continues in the opposite direction. When these two zones overlap on a chart, it’s crucial to pay close attention to this area, as it represents a high-probability reaction zone.
2. Analyzing the Overlapping Block : After identifying the overlap zone, carefully analyze price action within this region. Candlestick patterns and price behavior can provide essential clues.
If the price reaches this overlap zone and strong reversal patterns such as Pin Bars or Engulfing patterns are observed, it’s likely that this zone will act as a pivotal reversal point. In such cases, entering a trade with confidence becomes more feasible.
3. Entering the Trade : When sufficient signs of price reaction are present in the overlap zone, you can proceed to enter the trade. If the overlap zone is within an uptrend and bullish reversal signals are evident, a long position might be appropriate.
Conversely, if the overlap zone is in a downtrend and bearish reversal signals are observed, a short position would be more suitable.
4. Risk Management : One of the most critical aspects of trading in overlap zones is managing risk. To protect your capital, place your stop loss near the lowest point of the Order Block (for buy trades) or the highest point (for sell trades). This approach minimizes potential losses if the overlap zone fails to hold.
5. Price Targets : After entering the trade, set your price targets based on other key levels on the chart. These targets could include other support and resistance zones, Fibonacci levels, or pivot points.

🟣 Benefits of the Overlapping Block Between Order Block and Breaker Block
1. Enhanced Precision in Identifying Key Levels : The overlap between these two zones usually acts as a highly reliable area for price reactions, increasing the accuracy of identifying entry and exit points.
2. Reduced Trading Risk : Given the high importance of the overlap zone, the likelihood of making incorrect decisions is reduced, contributing to overall lower trading risk.
3. Increased Probability of Success : The overlap between Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks combines two powerful concepts, enhancing the likelihood of success in trades, as multiple indicators confirm the importance of the area.
4. Creation of Better Trading Opportunities : Overlap zones often provide traders with more robust trading opportunities, as these areas typically represent strong reversal points in the market.
5. Compatibility with Other Technical Tools : This concept seamlessly integrates with other technical analysis tools such as Fibonacci retracements, trend lines, and chart patterns, offering a more comprehensive market analysis.

Volume Gaps and ImbalancesThis Pine script indicator is designed to visually depict price inefficiencies, as identified by Volume Imbalances (VI) or Gaps. A Volume Gap is a scenario where the wicks of two successive candles don’t intersect, while an Imbalance occurs when only the wicks overlap, leaving the bodies apart. These zones of inefficiency frequently act as magnets for price, with the market striving rebalance in accordance with ICT principles.
Relevance:
Volume Gaps/Imbalances are zones of highly inefficient price delivery as per ICT concepts and represent a very strong draw to price. Price will often seek to rebalance those zones to ensure efficient price delivery. Consequently, these zones can provide good targets for entries in the opposite direction or take profit targets for previous entries in the direction of the Gap/Imbalance.
How It Works:
The indicator keeps track of all Gaps/Imbalances from the beginning of the available history. It automatically removes all mitigated Gaps/Imbalances, which are situations where the price has at least reached the bottom of a bullish gap or the top of a bearish gap.
On the last bar, the most recent valid gaps are highlighted with a box drawn from the start to the end of the gap. The start of a bullish gap is determined by the highest price of the previous candle’s open or close, while for bearish gaps, it’s the lowest price of the previous candle’s open or close. Conversely, the end of a bullish gap is the lowest price of the current candle’s open or close, and for bearish gaps, it’s the highest price of the current candle’s open or close.
To enhance the indicator’s speed and minimize chart noise, only the most recent gaps will be displayed, up to the limit set in the indicator settings.
Each displayed VI/GAP will indicate the size of the imbalance in ticks. For imbalances greater than 3 ticks, which represent stronger draws of liquidity, the color transparency will be reduced, and the text will be made more prominent. Volume Gaps are also marked with a 🧲 emoji for easy visual identification.
The indicator will automatically extend the boxes representing valid imbalances to the current bar for as long as the imbalance is not mitigated.
If an imbalance has been tapped, but not mitigated, the indicator will append 🚩emoji to denote that the imbalance has been partially mitigated and may no longer have as strong of a draw for price.
Configurability:
A user may configure the number of imbalances to show, the setting applies to bullish/bearish imbalances individually. This setting can be set to any value from 1 – 50.
Appearance wise, color, style and color transparency of each box representing an imbalance can be configured. The imbalance box label can be configured by setting the text size, along with the vertical & horizontal alignment.
What makes this indicator different:
Designed with high performance in mind, to reduce impact on chart render time.
Only keeps valid imbalances on the chart, with a limit on the # drawn
Indicates the size of the gap and provides visual markets to denote stronger, weaker and partially mitigated gaps
Propulsion Blocks | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Propulsion Blocks indicator! This new indicator can find & render ICT's propulsion blocks in the current ticker. It's highly customizable with detection, invalidation and style settings. For more information, please visit the "HOW DOES IT WORK ?" section.
Features of the new Propulsion Blocks indicator :
Render Bullish & Bearish Propulsion Blocks
Customizable Algorithm
Enable / Disable Historic Zones
Visual Customizability
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Order blocks occur when there is a high amount of market orders exist on a price range. It is possible to find order blocks using specific formations on the chart. One of which this indicator uses requires a large engulfing candlestick right after another one of the opposite direction. Then if the price comes back to retest the area that two candlesticks create, then it's an order block pattern.
Propulsion blocks are a specific type of order block used in the trading methodology. They build on the concept of order blocks and aim to identify potential areas for strong price movements. They are detected when a candlestick wicks to any existing order block, retesting it. Then a strong momentum in the direction of the order block is needed for the propulsion block to get created. Check this example :
You can use them as entry / exit points, or for confirmations for your trades. For example, a successful retest attempt to a bullish propulsion block might hint a strong bullish momentum. This indicator works best when used together with other ICT concepts.
🚩UNIQUENESS
Propulsion blocks can help traders identify key levels in a chart, and can be used mainly for confirmation. This indicator can identify and show them automatically in your chart, and provides customization settings for order & propulsion block detection and invalidation. Another capability of the indicator is that it combines overlapping order & propulsion blocks so you will have a clean look at the chart without any overlapping zones.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Show Historic Zones -> This setting will hide invalidated propulsion blocks if enabled.
Max Distance To Last Bar -> This setting defines the maximum range that the indicator will find propulsion blocks to the past. Higher options will make older zones visible.
Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for Order Block & Propulsion Block Invalidation.
Swing Length -> Swing length is used when finding order block formations. Smaller values will result in finding smaller order blocks.
Hourly Opening PriceThe Inner Circle Trader has noted that the Opening Price of every Hourly candle can be used in a Power Of 3 (PO3) context.
If Bullish, buy BELOW the hourly open.
If Bearish, sell ABOVE the hourly open.
The Power of 3 ICT model also know as "AMD" is a transformative trading strategy, ingeniously designed to streamline your time analyzing charts by focusing on three pivotal phases in market behavior: accumulation, manipulation, and distribution.
The ICT Power of Three Model dissects the market maker’s algorithm for price delivery into three pivotal actions: Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution. Accumulation involves smart money gathering positions before a price surge, while manipulation sees the market creating deceptive movements to trigger stops. Finally, distribution occurs as smart money offloads positions, often catching less informed traders off-guard. This strategy is a critical tool for traders to understand market makers’ maneuvers and to strategically position themselves in the market.
This indicator plots a line at the opening price of each hour and extends it on the chart for the duration of the hour. Each hour starts a new line.
You also have the option of extending the midnight opening price line across the entire trading day.
Investify360 ICT IndicatorThe Investify360 ICT Indicator is designed to follow the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) strategy. It provides essential buy and sell signals based on price movements relative to a simple moving average (SMA). The indicator is built to be beginner-friendly with clear labels and color-coded signals.
Key Features
Simple Moving Average (SMA):
The script calculates a simple moving average based on a user-defined period (length), defaulting to 14 periods. This moving average helps smooth out price data and identify trends.
Buy and Sell Signals:
Buy Signal: A buy signal is generated when the current price (src, defaulting to the close price) crosses above the SMA. This event is typically interpreted as a potential upward trend.
Sell Signal: A sell signal is generated when the current price crosses below the SMA. This event is often interpreted as a potential downward trend.
These signals are visually represented on the chart with up and down labels respectively.
Labels and Colors:
Buy Signal: Displayed with an up label (BUY) in green color.
Sell Signal: Displayed with a down label (SELL) in red color.
The colors for these signals can be customized through the script inputs (buyColor and sellColor).
Beginner-Friendly Labels:
To assist beginners, the script includes a label at the start of the chart indicating the position of the moving average line (MA Line). This label is shown on the first bar to clarify the purpose of the plotted line.
Plotting the Moving Average:
The SMA is plotted on the chart with a yellow line, making it easily distinguishable. The moving average line helps traders visualize the trend direction.
Market Structure (Intrabar) [LuxAlgo]The Market Structure (Intrabar) indicator is designed to automatically detect and highlight real-time intrabar market structures, a core component of the Smart Money Concepts methodology.
🔶 USAGE
The proposed indicator gives a detailed picture of the most recent candle lower timeframe trends, highlighting market structures within them.
This can be particularly useful to assess the price dynamic within the most recent candle. For example, we can see how pronounced a trend is by the number of opposite bullish/bearish market structures formed within the candle.
Users can select the intrabar timeframe of interest from the "Intrabar Timeframe" setting, using a timeframe significantly lower than the chart timeframe will return more intrabar candles and potentially more market structures.
🔹 Dashboard
Users have access to a dashboard returning useful statistics such as the number of formed CHoCH's and BOS's from the intrabar prices. These can be indicative of how predominant a trend is within the intrabar data or if there exist multiple trends.
🔶 DETAILS
Market structures allow determining trend continuations as well as trend reversals in the market through two distinct structures:
🔹 Change of Character (CHoCH)
A change of character (CHoCH) refers to a shift in the market behavior of a security that is driven by changes in the underlying supply and demand dynamics. CHoCH's are indicative of confirmed reversals.
🔹 Break of Structure (BoS)
The break of structure (BoS) refers to the point at which a key level of support or resistance is broken. BOS's are indicative of confirmed trend continuations.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹Inside the Bar Market Structure
Intrabar Timeframe: Lower timeframe setting option, if set to 'Auto' the script will determine the lower timeframe based on the chart timeframe.
Intrabar Market Structure, Length: Toggles the visibility of the break of structures and change of characters. Length defines the detection length of the swing levels.
Intrabar Swing Levels: Toggles the visibility of the swing levels, including a color customization option for highs and lows.
Intrabar Statistics: Toggles the visibility of the dashboard. Some further statistical details are presented in the tooltips of the table cells
🔹 General
Market Structure Colors: Color customization option for the break of structure and change of character lines and labels.
Intrabar Candle Colors: Color customization option for intrabar candles.
Intrabar Candles Horizontal Offset: Adjusting the intrabar candles horizontal position
Dashboard: Dashboard position and size customization option
🔶 LIMITATIONS
Please note that seconds-based intervals are available for premium and professional plan holders, which implies that the seconds-based intervals usage of the indicator may not be available for all users depending on their subscription plan.

Smart-Money-Concepts
ICT-Concepts
Liquidity-Finder ICT / SMCIn the context of ICT and the Smart Money Concept, liquidity is likely viewed as a crucial factor for determining the strength and sustainability of a market move. Smart Money is often associated with large institutional traders who have the ability to influence liquidity.
Liquidity Sweep:
A liquidity sweep in this context might involve Smart Money intentionally executing trades across various price levels to assess market depth and liquidity. This information can be used to identify potential areas of interest for Smart Money to initiate or exit positions without causing significant price disruptions.
Stop Hunt:
Stop hunting is a concept that Smart Money traders may employ to deliberately trigger stop orders in the market. By doing so, they can create temporary price movements that allow them to accumulate or liquidate positions at more favorable prices before the market reacts.
Smart Money Concept (SMC):
The Smart Money Concept revolves around the idea that large institutional traders (Smart Money) have superior information and resources compared to retail traders. Understanding the behavior of Smart Money, as taught in ICT and SMC, involves analyzing market dynamics, order flow, and liquidity to make more informed trading decisions.
Liquidating:
Liquidating refers to the process of selling or closing out existing positions. In the context of Smart Money, the term could imply that institutional traders are actively managing their positions, either taking profits or cutting losses strategically based on their analysis of market conditions.
The Indicator
The Indicator show open liquidity as solid lines and liquidates liquidity as dashed lines
Is able to send alerts for liquidity level was liquidated, liquidity level was dipped or the next close is on the other side
Session Sweeps [LuxAlgo]The Session Sweeps indicator combines ICT-based features for a complete trading methodology involving market sessions, market structure, and fair value gaps to find optimal entry conditions for trading price action.
Traders frequently tend to place stop/limit orders at the high and low points of major trading sessions such as Asian (Tokyo), European (London), and North American (New York), resulting in the establishment of liquidity pools at those particular levels. The Session Sweeps indicator is crafted to recognize and underscore occurrences of session sweeps or liquidity sweeps during these major trading sessions.
🔶 USAGE
Default settings utilize major forex trading sessions, yet users can select their preferred opening and closing times, rename the sessions, or adjust the colors. It's important to note that the specified times for each session align with the respective local timezones: Asian (Tokyo) UTC+9, European (London) UTC, and North American (New York) UTC-5.
If the price briefly crosses either the highest or lowest point of a market session. These movements, aiming at triggering stop losses, suggest potential shifts in the market direction. Detecting such movements is the fundamental purpose and core functionality of the script.
🔹Market Structure Shifts
A Market Structure Shift refers to a change in market direction, either from an uptrend to a downtrend or vice versa. A part of a common entry model when using session sweeps is waiting for the formation of a CHoCH after a session sweep.
🔹Fair Value Gaps
A Fair Value Gap (FVG) holds particular appeal for price action traders, emerging when there are inefficiencies or imbalances in the market, often a result of uneven buying and selling activity. The underlying concept of FVGs is that the market tends to revisit these inefficiencies before resuming its trajectory in alignment with the initial impulsive move.
After the formation of a CHoCH traders can enter a position when the price enters the area of a Fair Value Gap (FVG).
🔹Setup Examples
This entry setup is commonly used by ICT traders and is shared for informational & educational purposes only.
Long Positions (5-Minute Timeframe):
Wait for the previous session's low to be swept.
Look for a Bullish Choch.
Find a Bullish FVG formed by or before the Choch.
Entry Point: At the FVG.
Take Profit (TP): At the session high or aim for a 1:2 Risk-Reward Ratio.
Stop Loss (SL): At the session low or nearest Swing Low.
Take partial profits at intermediate swings, but don’t shift SL prematurely.
Short Positions (5-Minute Timeframe):
Wait for the previous session's high to be swept.
Look for a Bearish Choch.
Find a FVG formed by or before the Choch.
Entry Point: At the FVG.
Take Profit (TP): At the previous session's low or aim for a 1:2 RR.
Stop Loss (SL): At the session high or nearest Swing High.
Take partial profits at intermediate swings, but don’t shift SL prematurely.

One Setup for Life ICTGuided by ICT tutoring, I create this versatile 'One Trading Set Up For Life' indicator
This indicator shows a different way of viewing the "Highs and Lows" of Previous Sessions, drawing from the current day until 09:30 AM, the time at which the Highs and Lows of the previous day's sessions can be taken into consideration for a Reversal or for a Take profit.
Levels tested after 9.30am will be blocked so you have a good and clear view of the levels affected
Timing Session =
London: 02:00 to 05:00
New York: 9.30am to 12.30pm
Lunch: 12.30pm to 1pm
PM Session: 1.30pm to 4pm
The user has the possibility to:
- Choose to view sessions or not
- Choose to show levels from previous sessions
- Choose to show today's session levels
- Choose between 08:30 and 09:30 the starting time for the Liquidity taken
- Choose to view High and Low only from the previous day
- See both the name of the Sessions and the price of the levels
The indicator must be used as ICT shows in its concepts, the indicator takes into consideration both previous sessions and today's sessions, and the session levels can be used both for a reversal and for a possible Take Profit like the example here under
Reversal =
Possible Take Profit =

itradesize /\ Overnight Session & Silver BulletOvernight Session & Silver Bullet indicator
The indicator can be divided into two separate stuff:
ONS ( Overnight Session ) based on TCM’s ( TheCurrencyMerchant ) theory and Silver Bullet based on what ICT ( InnerCircleTrader ) is teaching to us.
Overnight Session
• ONS will be always based on Chicago 4am to 8am time according to TCM’s CME teaching.
The indicator has the option to show TSO ( Today’s session only ) which is good to have the chart not messed up by it. At this time when it comes to backtesting just turn this off to have the past ONS and SB ranges showed up on your chart.
• Mid line at the ONS range is useful to have as you are able to decide wether price is in a premium or a discount under the ONS.
If Im a buyer target is above the range, if Im a seller target is below the range.
• You are also able to have SD ( Standard Deviation ) lines for price projections. In the variety of TCM’s videos you are able to have a deeper knowledge.
• You can also extend Today’s ONS lines to the very end of the chart which could make an easier looking on the levels you eyeing with.
Silver Bullet
It’s based on New York time as ICT ( Inner Circle Trader ) is always teaching to us that we should use New York time, every time when it comes to his concepts.
Silver Bullets are always be there aiming of an opposing liquidity pool. They are working even on choppy days.
Silver Bullet hours:
• 03:00 - 04:00am NY Time
• 10:00 - 11:00am NY Time
• 02:00 - 03:00pm NY Time
SB highlighted areas could be shown as a box or a range according to your taste, with or without Start/End lines.
Both of them ca be used to form trades.
You should dig yourself into Silver Bullet ( InnerCircleTrader ) and Overnight Session ( TheCurrencyMerchant ) teachings before the use of the indicator.
Simple setups
• Silver Bullet
Look 20-30 minutes before any SB where the Buy or Sell program has started.
Where the first 1m FVG ( Fair Value Gap ) appears under the range, enter the trade.
Expect only a 5 handle move as a beginner.
1m chart is a must for these kind of FVG entries. ( 30s , 15s can also be used )
• ONS
Price is trading aggressively out of the range to take liquidity.
Once price grabbed liquidity that candle on the 3-5m could considered as on order block for the further movement.
If you are trading in the range, then the opposite side can be the target, if its out of the range and trading one sided, then use standard deviations as 0.5 is a minimum target.
Market Structure & Liquidity: CHoCHs+Nested Pivots+FVGs+Sweeps//Purpose:
This indicator combines several tools to help traders track and interpret price action/market structure; It can be divided into 4 parts;
1. CHoCHs, 2. Nested Pivot highs & lows, 3. Grade sweeps, 4. FVGs.
This gives the trader a toolkit for determining market structure and shifts in market structure to help determine a bull or bear bias, whether it be short-term, med-term or long-term.
This indicator also helps traders in determining liquidity targets: wether they be voids/gaps (FVGS) or old highs/lows+ typical sweep distances.
Finally, the incorporation of HTF CHoCH levels printing on your LTF chart helps keep the bigger picture in mind and tells traders at a glance if they're above of below Custom HTF CHoCH up or CHoCH down (these HTF CHoCHs can be anything from Hourly up to Monthly).
//Nomenclature:
CHoCH = Change of Character
STH/STL = short-term high or low
MTH/MTL = medium-term high or low
LTH/LTL = long-term high or low
FVG = Fair value gap
CE = consequent encroachement (the midline of a FVG)
~~~ The Four components of this indicator ~~~
1. CHoCHs:
•Best demonstrated in the below charts. This was a method taught to me by @Icecold_crypto. Once a 3 bar fractal pivot gets broken, we count backwards the consecutive higher lows or lower highs, then identify the CHoCH as the opposite end of the candle which ended the consecutive backwards count. This CHoCH (UP or DOWN) then becomes a level to watch, if price passes through it in earnest a trader would consider shifting their bias as market structure is deemed to have shifted.
•HTF CHoCHs: Option to print Higher time frame chochs (default on) of user input HTF. This prints only the last UP choch and only the last DOWN choch from the input HTF. Solid line by default so as to distinguish from local/chart-time CHoCHs. Can be any Higher timeframe you like.
•Show on table: toggle on show table(above/below) option to show in table cells (top right): is price above the latest HTF UP choch, or is price below HTF DOWN choch (or is it sat between the two, in a state of 'uncertainty').
•Most recent CHoCHs which have not been met by price will extend 10 bars into the future.
• USER INPUTS: overall setting: SHOW CHOCHS | Set bars lookback number to limit historical Chochs. Set Live CHoCHs number to control the number of active recent chochs unmet by price. Toggle shrink chochs once hit to declutter chart and minimize old chochs to their origin bars. Set Multi-timeframe color override : to make Color choices auto-set to your preference color for each of 1m, 5m, 15m, H, 4H, D, W, M (where up and down are same color, but 'up' icon for up chochs and down icon for down chochs remain printing as normal)
2. Nested Pivot Highs & Lows; aka 'Pivot Highs & Lows (ST/MT/LT)'
•Based on a seperate, longer lookback/lookforward pivot calculation. Identifies Pivot highs and lows with a 'spikeyness' filter (filtering out weak/rounded/unimpressive Pivot highs/lows)
•by 'nested' I mean that the pivot highs are graded based on whether a pivot high sits between two lower pivot highs or vice versa.
--for example: STH = normal pivot. MTH is pivot high with a lower STH on either side. LTH is a pivot high with a lower MTH on either side. Same applies to pivot lows (STL/MTL/LTL)
•This is a useful way to measure the significance of a high or low. Both in terms of how much it might be typically swept by (see later) and what it would imply for HTF bias were we to break through it in earnest (more than just a sweep).
• USER INPUTS: overall setting: show pivot highs & lows | Bars lookback (historical pivots to show) | Pivots: lookback/lookforward length (determines the scale of your pivot highs/lows) | toggle on/off Apply 'Spikeyness' filter (filters out smooth/unimpressive pivot highs/lows). Set Spikeyness index (determines the strength of this filter if turned on) | Individually toggle on each of STH, MTH, LTH, STL, MTL, LTL along with their label text type , and size . Toggle on/off line for each of these Pivot highs/lows. | Set label spacer (atr multiples above / below) | set line style and line width
3. Grade Sweeps:
•These are directly related to the nested pivots described above. Most assets will have a typical sweep distance. I've added some of my expected sweeps for various assets in the indicator tooltips.
--i.e. Eur/Usd 10-20-30 pips is a typical 'grade' sweep. S&P HKEX:5 - HKEX:10 is a typical grade sweep.
•Each of the ST/MT/LT pivot highs and lows have optional user defined grade sweep boxes which paint above until filled (or user option for historical filled boxes to remain).
•Numbers entered into sweep input boxes are auto converted into appropriate units (i.e. pips for FX, $ or 'handles' for indices, $ for Crypto. Very low $ units can be input for low unit value crypto altcoins.
• USER INPUTS: overall setting: Show sweep boxes | individually select colors of each of STH, MTH, LTH, STL, MTL, LTL sweep boxes. | Set Grade sweep ($/pips) number for each of ST, MT, LT. This auto converts between pips and $ (i.e. FX vs Indices/Crypto). Can be a float as small or large as you like ($0.000001 to HKEX:1000 ). | Set box text position (horizontal & vertical) and size , and color . | Set Box width (bars) (for non extended/ non-auto-terminating at price boxes). | toggle on/off Extend boxes/lines right . | Toggle on/off Shrink Grade sweeps on fill (they will disappear in realtime when filled/passed through)
4. FVGs:
•Fair Value gaps. Represent 'naked' candle bodies where the wicks to either side do not meet, forming a 'gap' of sorts which has a tendency to fill, or at least to fill to midline (CE).
•These are ICT concepts. 'UP' FVGS are known as BISIs (Buyside imbalance, sellside inefficiency); 'DOWN' FVGs are known as SIBIs (Sellside imbalance, buyside inefficiency).
• USER INPUTS: overall setting: show FVGs | Bars lookback (history). | Choose to display: 'UP' FVGs (BISI) and/or 'DOWN FVGs (SIBI) . Choose to display the midline: CE , the color and the line style . Choose threshold: use CE (as opposed to Full Fill) |toggle on/off Shrink FVG on fill (CE hit or Full fill) (declutter chart/see backtesting history)
////••Alerts (general notes & cautionary notes)::
•Alerts are optional for most of the levels printed by this indicator. Set them via the three dots on indicator status line.
•Due to dynamic repainting of levels, alerts should be used with caution. Best use these alerts either for Higher time frame levels, or when closely monitoring price.
--E.g. You may set an alert for down-fill of the latest FVG below; but price will keep marching up; form a newer/higher FVG, and the alert will trigger on THAT FVG being down-filled (not the original)
•Available Alerts:
-FVG(BISI) cross above threshold(CE or full-fill; user choice). Same with FVG(SIBI).
-HTF last CHoCH down, cross below | HTF last CHoCH up, cross above.
-last CHoCH down, cross below | last CHoCH up, cross above.
-LTH cross above, MTH cross above, STH cross above | LTL cross below, MTL cross below, STL cross below.
////••Formatting (general)::
•all table text color is set from the 'Pivot highs & Lows (ST, MT, LT)' section (for those of you who prefer black backgrounds).
•User choice of Line-style, line color, line width. Same with Boxes. Icon choice for chochs. Char or label text choices for ST/MT/LT pivot highs & lows.
////••User Inputs (general):
•Each of the 4 components of this indicator can be easily toggled on/off independently.
•Quite a lot of options and toggle boxes, as described in full above. Please take your time and read through all the tooltips (hover over '!' icon) to get an idea of formatting options.
•Several Lookback periods defined in bars to control how much history is shown for each of the 4 components of this indicator.
•'Shrink on fill' settings on FVGs and CHoCHs: Basically a way to declutter chart; toggle on/off depending on if you're backtesting or reading live price action.
•Table Display: applies to ST/MT/LT pivot highs and to HTF CHoCHs; Toggle table on or off (in part or in full)

SMC sessionzz by JelleThe main function of this indicator is to make it easy to identify several smart money concepts (SMC) and ICT practices by using a single indicator. The functions themselves are not my original content, but rather a collection of several scripts with some tweaking, combined into a single indicator.
Main functions:
- Provides the ability to set bar color for London, New York and Asia sessions
- Provides the ability to set background color for London, New York and Asia sessions
- Provides the ability to indicate NY and GMT midnight on the chart by plotting vertical lines
- Provides several smart features to turn bar color and background color on/off depending on the timeframe
Usage example:
- Easily determine each session high and low by using the bar color feature
- Easily determine the daily high and low by using the vertical midnight lines
- Easily determine ICT kill zones by setting background color for each session
- Easily avoid clutter on your chart by using the timeframe filters
FVGs & CEs + Alerts: simple & efficient methodFair Value Gap indicator: Paints FVGs and their midlines (CEs). Stops painting when CE is hit, or when fully filled; user choice of threshold. This threshold is also used in the Alert conditions.
~~Plotted here on ES1! (CME), on the 15m timeframe~~
-A FVG represents a 'naked' body where the wicks/tails on either side do not meet. This can be seen as a type of 'gap', which price will have a tendency to want to re-fill (in part or in full).
-The midline (CE, or 'Consequent encroachment') of FVGs also tend to show price sensitivity.
-This indicator paints all FVGs until priced into, and should give an idea of which are more meaningful and which are best ignored (based on context: location, Time of day, market structure, etc).
-This is a simpler and more efficient method of painting Fair value gaps which auto-stop painting when price reaches them.
//Aims of Publishing:
-Education of ICT concepts of Fair Value Gaps and their midlines (CEs): To easily see via forward testing or backtesting, the sensitivity that price shows to these areas & levels.
-Demonstration of a much more efficient way of plotting FVGs which terminate at price, thanks to a modification of @Bjorgums's clever looping method referenced below.
//Settings:
-Toggle on/off upward and downward FVGs independently(blue and orange by default).
-Toggle on/off midline (CE).
-Standard color/line formatting options.
-Choose Threshold: CE of FVG or Full Fill of FVG: This will determine both the 'stop-painting' trigger and the 'Alert' trigger.
-Choose number of days lookback to control how many historical FVGs paint on chart.
//On alerts:
-Simple choice of 2 alerts:
~~One for price crossing into/above the nearest untouched 'premium' FVG above ( orange ). Trigger is user choice of CE or full fill.
~~Another for price crossing into/below the nearest untouched 'discount' FVG below (blue). Trigger is user choice of CE or full fill.
-Alerts set via the three dots in indicator status line.
//Cautionary notes:
-Do not use the alerts blindly to find trades. Wait until you have identified a good FVG above/below which you think price may show sensitivity to
-Usage on very low timeframes can cause unexpected results with alerts: due to new FVGs forming in realtime the Alert will always trigger at the most recent FVG above/ below having its threshold hit.
-Big thank you to @Bjorgum for his fantastic extendAndRemove method. Modified here for use with boxes and to integrate Alerts.
-Also Credit to ICT (inner circle trader) for the concepts used here: Fair value gaps and their Consequent Encroachment (CE).
Liquidity Candles with Prev Day High/Low and Midnight OpenAlright, let's talk about how to use this fancy indicator. But first, let me warn you, using indicators is like driving a car, you can't just press the gas pedal and hope for the best. You need to know what you're doing, or else you'll crash and burn faster than a soufflé in a microwave.
Now, let's get started. The first thing you need to do is understand what this indicator is telling you. Think of it like a signalman at a train station. He's waving flags and giving hand signals to tell you whether it's safe to proceed or if you need to stop and wait. This indicator works the same way.
It's going to give you signals based on price movements, telling you whether it's safe to buy or sell. But don't get too excited, my friend. You still need to use your brain and make smart decisions. Don't just blindly follow the signals, or else you'll end up like a sheep being led to the slaughter.
Now, let's talk about some of ICT's smart money trading concepts. First up, we have "liquidity grabs". This is when the big boys in the market create false breakouts to shake out the weak hands. They're like school bullies stealing lunch money from the little kids. But you can avoid being a victim by watching for signs of a liquidity grab, and using your brain to decide whether it's a real breakout or just a trap.
Next up, we have "stop runs". This is when the big players purposely trigger stop-loss orders to get a better entry or exit. It's like a game of chicken, but with your money on the line. To avoid being run over, keep an eye on your stop-loss orders, and don't be too predictable in your trading.
Finally, we have "market structure". This is like the blueprint of the market, showing you where the support and resistance levels are. It's like a treasure map to finding the best trades. But don't forget that market structure can change over time, so keep updating your map and stay ahead of the game.
So there you have it, my friend. A quick tutorial on using this indicator, with a side of ICT's smart money trading concepts. But remember, indicators are just tools, and you're the one driving the car. Use your brain, stay alert, and don't be a sheep. Happy trading!

Session LiquidityThe “Session Liquidity” TradingView indicator by Infinity Trading creates dynamic horizontal lines at the high and low points of a specified time span within the trading day. This indicator gives the user control of three separate time spans so the user can dynamically see the highs and lows of their favorite daily time spans.
Purpose
This indicator is similar to my TradingView indicator “Futures Exchange Sessions 3.0”. In that indicator the user gets control of dynamic price boxes. For me, these boxes made it difficult to spot ICT’s Orderblocks. So instead of boxes I made independently controllable lines and now I can spot ICT Orderblocks and easily identify Liquidity Pools.
Inputs and Style
Everything about the three dynamic lines can but independently configured. Start & End Times, Line Color, Line Style, Line Width, Text Characters, Text Size, Text Color can all be adjusted. The high and low lines as well as their text labels can be individually toggled on or off for maximum control.
Timezone
All of the start and end times are in EST. Additionally, each time span line needs a specific start of each day. This is controlled by a setting called “Line Start Day Timezone” where the user sets a timezone that corresponds with the start time. In general if a timespan resides within a particular Session pick the corresponding timezone. If the users line fits in the Asian Session then choose Asia/Shanghai. If the line is within the London Session then choose Europe/London. And the same goes for the New York Session.
Special Notes
If the Line Start Time is within one candle of the Start Day Timezone in the Settings, then the line/box won’t display. So choose the previous timezone
Lines only display when the timeframe is <= 30 minute

Index OverlayNote: use this indicator only with New York Timezone + you need to understand ICT concepts already, this indicator simplifies the chart work.
Also, in this script I added some open-source scripts from creators here on tradingview, but I forgot to annotate their names...
If you recognize your script, please text me and I'll add your credits.

Logistic Regression ICT FVG🚀 OVERVIEW
Welcome to the Logistic Regression Fair Value Gap (FVG) System — a next-gen trading tool that blends precision gap detection with machine learning intelligence.
Unlike traditional FVG indicators, this one evolves with each bar of price action, scoring and filtering gaps based on real market behavior.
🔧 CORE FEATURES
✨ Smart Gap Detection
Automatically identifies bullish and bearish Fair Value Gaps using volatility-aware candle logic.
📊 Probability-Based Filtering
Uses logistic regression to assign each gap a confidence score (0 to 1), showing only high-probability setups.
🔁 Real-Time Retest Tracking
Continuously watches how price interacts with each gap to determine if it deserves respect.
📈 Multi-Factor Assessment
Evaluates RSI, MACD, and body size at gap formation to build a full context snapshot.
🧠 Self-Learning Engine
The logistic regression model updates on each bar using gradient descent, refining its predictions over time.
📢 Built-In Alerts
Get instant alerts when a gap forms, gets retested, or breaks.
🎨 Custom Display Options
Control the color of bullish/bearish zones, and toggle on/off probability labels for cleaner charts.
🚩 WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
This isn’t just another box-drawing indicator.
While others mark every imbalance, this system thinks before it draws — using statistical modeling to filter out noise and prioritize high-impact zones.
By learning from how price behaves around gaps (not just how they form), it helps you trade only what matters — not what clutters.
⚙️ HOW IT WORKS
1️⃣ Detection
FVGs are identified using ATR-based thresholds and sharp wick imbalances.
2️⃣ Behavior Monitoring
Every gap is tracked — and if respected enough times, it becomes part of the elite training set.
3️⃣ Context Capture
Each new FVG logs RSI, MACD, and body size to provide a feature-rich context for prediction.
4️⃣ Prediction (Logistic Regression)
The model predicts how likely the gap is to be respected and assigns it a probability score.
5️⃣ Classification & Alerts
Gaps above the threshold are plotted with score labels, and alerts trigger for entry/respect/break.
⚙️ CONFIGURATION PANEL
🔧 System Inputs
• Max Retests – How many times a gap must be respected to train the model
• Prediction Threshold – Minimum score to show a gap on the chart
• Learning Rate – Controls how fast the model adapts (default: 0.009)
• Max FVG Lifetime – Expiration duration for unused gaps
• Show Historic Gaps – Show/hide expired or invalidated gaps
🎨 Visual Options
• Bullish/Bearish Colors – Set gap colors to fit your chart style
• Confidence Labels – Show probability scores next to FVGs
• Alert Toggles – Enable alerts for:
– New FVG detected
– FVG respected (entry)
– FVG invalidated (break)
💡 WHY LOGISTIC REGRESSION?
Traditional FVG tools rely on candle shapes.
This system relies on probability — by training on RSI, MACD, and price behavior, it predicts whether a gap will act as a true liquidity zone.
Logistic regression lets the system continuously adapt using new data, making it more accurate the longer it runs.
That means smarter signals, fewer false positives, and a clearer view of where real opportunities lie.

## Overview
“FVG OB” (Fair Value Gap Order Block) identifies higher-timeframe candle ranges where a gap (imbalance) exists between two non-consecutive candles, signaling potential institutional order blocks. This module draws bullish or bearish FVG OB boxes on your lower-timeframe chart, extends them until price interacts a specified number of times, and then finalizes (recolors) the box.
---
## Inputs
- **Enable FVG OB Boxes** (`bool`)
Toggle drawing of HTF FVG OB boxes on the chart.
- **Enable FVG OB Midlines** (`bool`)
Toggle drawing of a midpoint line inside each FVG OB box.
- **FVG OB Close Count** (`int` 1–10)
Number of HTF closes beyond the FVG range required to finalize (recolor) the box.
- **FVG OB Bull Color** (`color`)
Fill & border color for bullish FVG OB boxes.
- **FVG OB Bear Color** (`color`)
Fill & border color for bearish FVG OB boxes.
- **FVG OB Box Transparency** (`int` 1–100)
Opacity level for FVG OB box fills (higher = more transparent).
---
## How It Works
1. **HTF Data Retrieval**
- The script uses `request.security()` (via `GetHTFrevised()`) to fetch HTF OHLC and historical values:
- `_htfHigh3` (high three bars ago) and `_htfLow1` (low one bar ago) for bullish FVG OB.
- `_htfLow3` (low three bars ago) and `_htfHigh1` (high one bar ago) for bearish FVG OB.
- It also tracks the HTF `bar_index` on the lower timeframe to align drawing.
2. **FVG OB Detection**
- **Bullish FVG OB**: Occurs when the HTF low of the previous bar (`low `) is strictly above the HTF high of three bars ago (`high `), creating a gap.
- **Bearish FVG OB**: Occurs when the HTF high of the previous bar (`high `) is strictly below the HTF low of three bars ago (`low `), creating a gap.
3. **Box Creation**
- On each new HTF bar (`ta.change(time(HTF)) != 0`), if a bullish or bearish FVG OB condition is met, the script calls `CreateBoxData()` with:
- **Bullish**: `bottom = HTF low `, `top = HTF high `, `_isBull = true`.
- **Bearish**: `bottom = HTF low `, `top = HTF high `, `_isBull = false`.
- Midline toggled by input.
- A `BoxData` struct is created and stored in either the Bull or Bear array.
4. **Box Extension & Finalization**
- On **every LTF bar**, `ProcessBoxDatas(...)` iterates over all active FVG OB boxes:
1. **Extend Right Edge**: `box.set_right(bar_index)` ensures the box follows the latest bar.
2. **Record Volume Delta**: Tracks buy/sell volume inside the box.
3. **Touch Stage Update**: `modBoxUpdateStage()` increments `_stage` when price touches its “basePoint” (for FVG OB, the basePrice is one side of the gap).
4. **Finalize**: `setBoxFinalize()` checks if the configured number of closes beyond the FVG gap (`FVG OB Close Count`) has occurred. If so:
- `_isActive := false`
- Border and background colors are changed to the “Box Close Color” (input).
- Finalized boxes remain on screen semi-transparent, indicating that the FVG OB zone has been tested.
5. **Midline (Optional)**
- If “Enable FVG OB Midlines” is checked, `ProcessBoxDatas()` also extends a horizontal midpoint line inside the box with `line.set_x2(bar_index)`.
---
## Usage Instructions
1. **Installation**
- Copy the FVG OB section of the Pine Script into TradingView’s Pine Editor (ensure the library import is included).
- Click “Add to Chart.”
2. **Configure Inputs**
- Choose a Higher Time Frame via the dropdown (e.g., “4시간” maps to a 4H timeframe).
- Toggle “Enable FVG OB Boxes” and “Enable FVG OB Midlines.”
- Select colors for bullish and bearish boxes and set transparency.
- Adjust “FVG OB Close Count” to control how many closes beyond the gap finalize the box.
3. **Interpretation**
- **Active FVG OB Boxes** extend to the right until price closes beyond the gap range the specified number of times.
- When finalized, each box changes to the “Box Close Color,” signaling that institutional orders in that gap have likely been filled.
Enjoy precise visualization of higher-timeframe Fair Value Gap Order Blocks on your lower-timeframe chart!
FVG Premium [no1x]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator provides a comprehensive toolkit for identifying, visualizing, and tracking Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) across three distinct timeframes (current chart, a user-defined Medium Timeframe - MTF, and a user-defined High Timeframe - HTF). It is designed to offer traders enhanced insight into FVG dynamics through detailed state monitoring (formation, partial fill, full mitigation, midline touch), extensive visual customization for FVG representation, and a rich alert system for timely notifications on FVG-related events.
█ CONCEPTS
This indicator is built upon the core concept of Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and their significance in price action analysis, offering a multi-layered approach to their detection and interpretation across different timeframes.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
A Fair Value Gap (FVG), also known as an imbalance, represents a range in price delivery where one side of the market (buying or selling) was more aggressive, leaving an inefficiency or an "imbalance" in the price action. This concept is prominently featured within Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodologies, where such gaps are often interpreted as footprints left by "smart money" due to rapid, forceful price movements. These methodologies suggest that price may later revisit these FVG zones to rebalance a prior inefficiency or to seek liquidity before continuing its path. These gaps are typically identified by a three-bar pattern:
Bullish FVG : This is a three-candle formation where the second candle shows a strong upward move. The FVG is the space created between the high of the first candle (bottom of FVG) and the low of the third candle (top of FVG). This indicates a strong upward impulsive move.
Bearish FVG : This is a three-candle formation where the second candle shows a strong downward move. The FVG is the space created between the low of the first candle (top of FVG) and the high of the third candle (bottom of FVG). This indicates a strong downward impulsive move.
FVGs are often watched by traders as potential areas where price might return to "rebalance" or find support/resistance.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Analysis
The indicator extends FVG detection beyond the current chart's timeframe (Low Timeframe - LTF) to two higher user-defined timeframes: Medium Timeframe (MTF) and High Timeframe (HTF). This allows traders to:
Identify FVGs that might be significant on a broader market structure.
Observe how FVGs from different timeframes align or interact.
Gain a more comprehensive perspective on potential support and resistance zones.
FVG State and Lifecycle Management
The indicator actively tracks the lifecycle of each detected FVG:
Formation : The initial identification of an FVG.
Partial Fill (Entry) : When price enters but does not completely pass through the FVG. The indicator updates the "current" top/bottom of the FVG to reflect the filled portion.
Midline (Equilibrium) Touch : When price touches the 50% level of the FVG.
Full Mitigation : When price completely trades through the FVG, effectively "filling" or "rebalancing" the gap. The indicator records the mitigation time.
This state tracking is crucial for understanding how price interacts with these zones.
FVG Classification (Large FVG)
FVGs can be optionally classified as "Large FVGs" (LV) if their size (top to bottom range) exceeds a user-defined multiple of the Average True Range (ATR) for that FVG's timeframe. This helps distinguish FVGs that are significantly larger relative to recent volatility.
Visual Customization and Information Delivery
A key concept is providing extensive control over how FVGs are displayed. This control is achieved through a centralized set of visual parameters within the indicator, allowing users to configure numerous aspects (colors, line styles, visibility of boxes, midlines, mitigation lines, labels, etc.) for each timeframe. Additionally, an on-chart information panel summarizes the nearest unmitigated bullish and bearish FVG levels for each active timeframe, providing a quick glance at key price points.
█ FEATURES
This indicator offers a rich set of features designed to provide a highly customizable and comprehensive Fair Value Gap (FVG) analysis experience. Users can tailor the FVG detection, visual representation, and alerting mechanisms across three distinct timeframes: the current chart (Low Timeframe - LTF), a user-defined Medium Timeframe (MTF), and a user-defined High Timeframe (HTF).
Multi-Timeframe FVG Detection and Display
The core strength of this indicator lies in its ability to identify and display FVGs from not only the current chart's timeframe (LTF) but also from two higher, user-selectable timeframes (MTF and HTF).
Timeframe Selection: Users can specify the exact MTF (e.g., "60", "240") and HTF (e.g., "D", "W") through dedicated inputs in the "MTF (Medium Timeframe)" and "HTF (High Timeframe)" settings groups. The visibility of FVGs from these higher timeframes can be toggled independently using the "Show MTF FVGs" and "Show HTF FVGs" checkboxes.
Consistent Detection Logic: The FVG detection logic, based on the classic three-bar imbalance pattern detailed in the 'Concepts' section, is applied consistently across all selected timeframes (LTF, MTF, HTF)
Timeframe-Specific Visuals: Each timeframe's FVGs (LTF, MTF, HTF) can be customized with unique colors for bullish/bearish states and their mitigated counterparts. This allows for easy visual differentiation of FVGs originating from different market perspectives.
Comprehensive FVG Visualization Options
The indicator provides extensive control over how FVGs are visually represented on the chart for each timeframe (LTF, MTF, HTF).
FVG Boxes:
Visibility: Main FVG boxes can be shown or hidden per timeframe using the "Show FVG Boxes" (for LTF), "Show Boxes" (for MTF/HTF) inputs.
Color Customization: Colors for bullish, bearish, active, and mitigated FVG boxes (including Large FVGs, if classified) are fully customizable for each timeframe.
Box Extension & Length: FVG boxes can either be extended to the right indefinitely ("Extend Boxes Right") or set to a fixed length in bars ("Short Box Length" or "Box Length" equivalent inputs).
Box Labels: Optional labels can display the FVG's timeframe and fill percentage on the box. These labels are configurable for all timeframes (LTF, MTF, and HTF). Please note: If FVGs are positioned very close to each other on the chart, their respective labels may overlap. This can potentially lead to visual clutter, and it is a known behavior in the current version of the indicator.
Box Borders: Visibility, width, style (solid, dashed, dotted), and color of FVG box borders are customizable per timeframe.
Midlines (Equilibrium/EQ):
Visibility: The 50% level (midline or EQ) of FVGs can be shown or hidden for each timeframe.
Style Customization: Width, style, and color of the midline are customizable per timeframe. The indicator tracks if this midline has been touched by price.
Mitigation Lines:
Visibility: Mitigation lines (representing the FVG's opening level that needs to be breached for full mitigation) can be shown or hidden for each timeframe. If shown, these lines are always extended to the right.
Style Customization: Width, style, and color of the mitigation line are customizable per timeframe.
Mitigation Line Labels: Optional price labels can be displayed on mitigation lines, with a customizable horizontal bar offset for positioning. For optimal label placement, the following horizontal bar offsets are recommended: 4 for LTF, 8 for MTF, and 12 for HTF.
Persistence After Mitigation: Users can choose to keep mitigation lines visible even after an FVG is fully mitigated, with a distinct color for such lines. Importantly, this option is only effective if the general setting 'Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs' is disabled, as otherwise, the entire FVG and its lines will be removed upon mitigation.
FVG State Management and Behavior
The indicator tracks and visually responds to changes in FVG states.
Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs: This option, typically found in the indicator's general settings, allows users to automatically remove all visual elements of an FVG from the chart once price has fully mitigated it. This helps maintain chart clarity by focusing on active FVGs.
Partial Fill Visualization: When price enters an FVG, the indicator offers a dynamic visual representation: the portion of the FVG that has been filled is shown as a "mitigated box" (typically with a distinct color), while the original FVG box shrinks to clearly highlight the remaining, unfilled portion. This two-part display provides an immediate visual cue about how much of the FVG's imbalance has been addressed and what potential remains within the gap.
Visual Filtering by ATR Proximity: To help users focus on the most relevant price action, FVGs can be dynamically hidden if they are located further from the current price than a user-defined multiple of the Average True Range (ATR). This behavior is controlled by the "Filter Band Width (ATR Multiple)" input; setting this to zero disables the filter entirely, ensuring all detected FVGs remain visible regardless of their proximity to price.
Alternative Usage Example: Mitigation Lines as Key Support/Resistance Levels
For traders preferring a minimalist chart focused on key Fair Value Gap (FVG) levels, the indicator's visualization settings can be customized to display only FVG mitigation lines. This approach leverages these lines as potential support and resistance zones, reflecting areas where price might revisit to address imbalances.
To configure this view:
Disable FVG Boxes: Turn off "Show FVG Boxes" (for LTF) or "Show Boxes" (for MTF/HTF) for the desired timeframes.
Hide Midlines: Disable the visibility of the 50% FVG Midlines (Equilibrium/EQ).
Ensure Mitigation Lines are Visible: Keep "Mitigation Lines" enabled.
Retain All Mitigation Lines:
Disable the "Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs" option in the general settings.
Enable the feature to "keep mitigation lines visible even after an FVG is fully mitigated". This ensures lines from all FVGs (active or fully mitigated) remain on the chart, which is only effective if "Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs" is disabled.
This setup offers:
A Decluttered Chart: Focuses solely on the FVG opening levels.
Precise S/R Zones: Treats mitigation lines as specific points for potential price reactions.
Historical Level Analysis: Includes lines from past, fully mitigated FVGs for a comprehensive view of significant price levels.
For enhanced usability with this focused view, consider these optional additions:
The on-chart Information Panel can be activated to display a quick summary of the nearest unmitigated FVG levels.
Mitigation Line Labels can also be activated for clear price level identification. A customizable horizontal bar offset is available for positioning these labels; for example, offsets of 4 for LTF, 8 for MTF, and 12 for HTF can be effective.
FVG Classification (Large FVG)
This feature allows for distinguishing FVGs based on their size relative to market volatility.
Enable Classification: Users can enable "Classify FVG (Large FVG)" to identify FVGs that are significantly larger than average.
ATR-Based Threshold: An FVG is classified as "Large" if its height (price range) is greater than or equal to the Average True Range (ATR) of its timeframe multiplied by a user-defined "Large FVG Threshold (ATR Multiple)". The ATR period for this calculation is also configurable.
Dedicated Colors: Large FVGs (both bullish/bearish and active/mitigated) can be assigned unique colors, making them easily distinguishable on the chart.
Panel Icon: Large FVGs are marked with a special icon in the Info Panel.
Information Panel
An on-chart panel provides a quick summary of the nearest unmitigated FVG levels.
Visibility and Position: The panel can be shown/hidden and positioned in any of the nine standard locations on the chart (e.g., Top Right, Middle Center).
Content: It displays the price levels of the nearest unmitigated bullish and bearish FVGs for LTF, MTF (if active), and HTF (if active). It also indicates if these nearest FVGs are Large FVGs (if classification is enabled) using a selectable icon.
Styling: Text size, border color, header background/text colors, default text color, and "N/A" cell background color are customizable.
Highlighting: Background and text colors for the cells displaying the overall nearest bullish and bearish FVG levels (across all active timeframes) can be customized to draw attention to the most proximate FVG.
Comprehensive Alert System
The indicator offers a granular alert system for various FVG-related events, configurable for each timeframe (LTF, MTF, HTF) independently. Users can enable alerts for:
New FVG Formation: Separate alerts for new bullish and new bearish FVG formations.
FVG Entry/Partial Fill: Separate alerts for price entering a bullish FVG or a bearish FVG.
FVG Full Mitigation: Separate alerts for full mitigation of bullish and bearish FVGs.
FVG Midline (EQ) Touch: Separate alerts for price touching the midline of a bullish or bearish FVG.
Alert messages are detailed, providing information such as the timeframe, FVG type (bull/bear, Large FVG), relevant price levels, and timestamps.
█ NOTES
This section provides additional information regarding the indicator's usage, performance considerations, and potential interactions with the TradingView platform. Understanding these points can help users optimize their experience and troubleshoot effectively.
Performance and Resource Management
Maximum FVGs to Track : The "Max FVGs to Track" input (defaulting to 25) limits the number of FVG objects processed for each category (e.g., LTF Bullish, MTF Bearish). Increasing this value significantly can impact performance due to more objects being iterated over and potentially drawn, especially when multiple timeframes are active.
Drawing Object Limits : To manage performance, this script sets its own internal limits on the number of drawing objects it displays. While it allows for up to approximately 500 lines (max_lines_count=500) and 500 labels (max_labels_count=500), the number of FVG boxes is deliberately restricted to a maximum of 150 (max_boxes_count=150). This specific limit for boxes is a key performance consideration: displaying too many boxes can significantly slow down the indicator, and a very high number is often not essential for analysis. Enabling all visual elements for many FVGs across all three timeframes can cause the indicator to reach these internal limits, especially the stricter box limit
Optimization Strategies : To help you manage performance, reduce visual clutter, and avoid exceeding drawing limits when using this indicator, I recommend the following strategies:
Maintain or Lower FVG Tracking Count: The "Max FVGs to Track" input defaults to 25. I find this value generally sufficient for effective analysis and balanced performance. You can keep this default or consider reducing it further if you experience performance issues or prefer a less dense FVG display.
Utilize Proximity Filtering: I suggest activating the "Filter Band Width (ATR Multiple)" option (found under "General Settings") to display only those FVGs closer to the current price. From my experience, a value of 5 for the ATR multiple often provides a good starting point for balanced performance, but you should feel free to adjust this based on market volatility and your specific trading needs.
Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs: I strongly recommend enabling the "Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs" option. This setting automatically removes all visual elements of an FVG from the chart once it has been fully mitigated by price. Doing so significantly reduces the number of active drawing objects, lessens computational load, and helps maintain chart clarity by focusing only on active, relevant FVGs.
Disable FVG Display for Unused Timeframes: If you are not actively monitoring certain higher timeframes (MTF or HTF) for FVG analysis, I advise disabling their display by unchecking "Show MTF FVGs" or "Show HTF FVGs" respectively. This can provide a significant performance boost.
Simplify Visual Elements: For active FVGs, consider hiding less critical visual elements if they are not essential for your specific analysis. This could include box labels, borders, or even entire FVG boxes if, for example, only the mitigation lines are of interest for a particular timeframe.
Settings Changes and Platform Limits : This indicator is comprehensive and involves numerous calculations and drawings. When multiple settings are changed rapidly in quick succession, it is possible, on occasion, for TradingView to issue a "Runtime error: modify_study_limit_exceeding" or similar. This can cause the indicator to temporarily stop updating or display errors.
Recommended Approach : When adjusting settings, it is advisable to wait a brief moment (a few seconds) after each significant change. This allows the indicator to reprocess and update on the chart before another change is made
Error Recovery : Should such a runtime error occur, making a minor, different adjustment in the settings (e.g., toggling a checkbox off and then on again) and waiting briefly will typically allow the indicator to recover and resume correct operation. This behavior is related to platform limitations when handling complex scripts with many inputs and drawing objects.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF/HTF) Data and Behavior
HTF FVG Confirmation is Essential: : For an FVG from a higher timeframe (MTF or HTF) to be identified and displayed on your current chart (LTF), the three-bar pattern forming the FVG on that higher timeframe must consist of fully closed bars. The indicator does not draw speculative FVGs based on incomplete/forming bars from higher timeframes.
Data Retrieval and LTF Processing: The indicator may use techniques like lookahead = barmerge.lookahead_on for timely data retrieval from higher timeframes. However, the actual detection of an FVG occurs after all its constituent bars on the HTF have closed.
Appearance Timing on LTF (1 LTF Candle Delay): As a natural consequence of this, an FVG that is confirmed on an HTF (i.e., its third bar closes) will typically become visible on your LTF chart one LTF bar after its confirmation on the HTF.
Example: Assume an FVG forms on a 30-minute chart at 15:30 (i.e., with the close of the 30-minute bar that covers the 15:00-15:30 period). If you are monitoring this FVG on a 15-minute chart, the indicator will detect this newly formed 30-minute FVG while processing the data for the 15-minute bar that starts at 15:30 and closes at 15:45. Therefore, the 30-minute FVG will become visible on your 15-minute chart at the earliest by 15:45 (i.e., with the close of that relevant 15-minute LTF candle). This means the HTF FVG is reflected on the LTF chart with a delay equivalent to one LTF candle.
FVG Detection and Display Logic
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on the current chart timeframe (LTF) are detected based on barstate.isconfirmed. This means the three-bar pattern must be complete with closed bars before an FVG is identified. This confirmation method prevents FVGs from being prematurely identified on the forming bar.
Alerts
Alert Setup : To receive alerts from this indicator, you must first ensure you have enabled the specific alert conditions you are interested in within the indicator's own settings (see 'Comprehensive Alert System' under the 'FEATURES' section). Once configured, open TradingView's 'Create Alert' dialog. In the 'Condition' tab, select this indicator's name, and crucially, choose the 'Any alert() function call' option from the dropdown list. This setup allows the indicator to trigger alerts based on the precise event conditions you have activated in its settings
Alert Frequency : Alerts are designed to trigger once per bar close (alert.freq_once_per_bar_close) for the specific event.
User Interface (UI) Tips
Settings Group Icons: In the indicator settings menu, timeframe-specific groups are marked with star icons for easier navigation: 🌟 for LTF (Current Chart Timeframe), 🌟🌟 for MTF (Medium Timeframe), and 🌟🌟🌟 for HTF (High Timeframe).
Dependent Inputs: Some input settings are dependent on others being enabled. These dependencies are visually indicated in the settings menu using symbols like "↳" (dependent setting on the next line), "⟷" (mutually exclusive inline options), or "➜" (directly dependent inline option).
Settings Layout Overview: The indicator settings are organized into logical groups for ease of use. Key global display controls – such as toggles for MTF FVGs, HTF FVGs (along with their respective timeframe selectors), and the Information Panel – are conveniently located at the very top within the '⚙️ General Settings' group. This placement allows for quick access to frequently adjusted settings. Other sections provide detailed customization options for each timeframe (LTF, MTF, HTF), specific FVG components, and alert configurations.
█ FOR Pine Script® CODERS
This section provides a high-level overview of the FVG Premium indicator's internal architecture, data flow, and the interaction between its various library components. It is intended for Pine Script™ programmers who wish to understand the indicator's design, potentially extend its functionality, or learn from its structure.
System Architecture and Modular Design
The indicator is architected moduarly, leveraging several custom libraries to separate concerns and enhance code organization and reusability. Each library has a distinct responsibility:
FvgTypes: Serves as the foundational data definition layer. It defines core User-Defined Types (UDTs) like fvgObject (for storing all attributes of an FVG) and drawSettings (for visual configurations), along with enumerations like tfType.
CommonUtils: Provides utility functions for common tasks like mapping user string inputs (e.g., "Dashed" for line style) to their corresponding Pine Script™ constants (e.g., line.style_dashed) and formatting timeframe strings for display.
FvgCalculations: Contains the core logic for FVG detection (both LTF and MTF/HTF via requestMultiTFBarData), FVG classification (Large FVGs based on ATR), and checking FVG interactions with price (mitigation, partial fill).
FvgObject: Implements an object-oriented approach by attaching methods to the fvgObject UDT. These methods manage the entire visual lifecycle of an FVG on the chart, including drawing, updating based on state changes (e.g., mitigation), and deleting drawing objects. It's responsible for applying the visual configurations defined in drawSettings.
FvgPanel: Manages the creation and dynamic updates of the on-chart information panel, which displays key FVG levels.
The main indicator script acts as the orchestrator, initializing these libraries, managing user inputs, processing data flow between libraries, and handling the main event loop (bar updates) for FVG state management and alerts.
Core Data Flow and FVG Lifecycle Management
The general data flow and FVG lifecycle can be summarized as follows:
Input Processing: User inputs from the "Settings" dialog are read by the main indicator script. Visual style inputs (colors, line styles, etc.) are consolidated into a types.drawSettings object (defined in FvgTypes). Other inputs (timeframes, filter settings, alert toggles) control the behavior of different modules. CommonUtils assists in mapping some string inputs to Pine constants.
FVG Detection:
For the current chart timeframe (LTF), FvgCalculations.detectFvg() identifies potential FVGs based on bar patterns.
For MTF/HTF, the main indicator script calls FvgCalculations.requestMultiTFBarData() to fetch necessary bar data from higher timeframes, then FvgCalculations.detectMultiTFFvg() identifies FVGs.
Newly detected FVGs are instantiated as types.fvgObject and stored in arrays within the main script. These objects also undergo classification (e.g., Large FVG) by FvgCalculations.
State Update & Interaction: On each bar, the main indicator script iterates through active FVG objects to manage their state based on price interaction:
Initially, the main script calls FvgCalculations.fvgInteractionCheck() to efficiently determine if the current bar's price might be interacting with a given FVG.
If a potential interaction is flagged, the main script then invokes methods directly on the fvgObject instance (e.g., updateMitigation(), updatePartialFill(), checkMidlineTouch(), which are part of FvgObject).
These fvgObject methods are responsible for the detailed condition checking and the actual modification of the FVG's state. For instance, the updateMitigation() and updatePartialFill() methods internally utilize specific helper functions from FvgCalculations (like checkMitigation() and checkPartialMitigation()) to confirm the precise nature of the interaction before updating the fvgObject’s state fields (such as isMitigated, currentTop, currentBottom, or isMidlineTouched).
Visual Rendering:
The FvgObject.updateDrawings() method is called for each fvgObject. This method is central to drawing management; it creates, updates, or deletes chart drawings (boxes, lines, labels) based on the FVG's current state, its prev_* (previous bar state) fields for optimization, and the visual settings passed via the drawSettings object.
Information Panel Update: The main indicator script determines the nearest FVG levels, populates a panelData object (defined in FvgPanelLib), and calls FvgPanel.updatePanel() to refresh the on-chart display.
Alert Generation: Based on the updated FVG states and user-enabled alert settings, the main indicator script constructs and triggers alerts using Pine Script's alert() function."
Key Design Considerations
UDT-Centric Design: The fvgObject UDT is pivotal, acting as a stateful container for all information related to a single FVG. Most operations revolve around creating, updating, or querying these objects.
State Management: To optimize drawing updates and manage FVG lifecycles, fvgObject instances store their previous bar's state (e.g., prevIsVisible, prevCurrentTop). The FvgObject.updateDrawings() method uses this to determine if a redraw is necessary, minimizing redundant drawing calls.
Settings Object: A drawSettings object is populated once (or when inputs change) and passed to drawing functions. This avoids repeatedly reading numerous input() values on every bar or within loops, improving performance.
Dynamic Arrays for FVG Storage: Arrays are used to store collections of fvgObject instances, allowing for dynamic management (adding new FVGs, iterating for updates).
AMD Setup - Full (Long + Short) ICT ModelICTSNIPERKILLS!
Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution (AMD) Script!
1. Clarifies Structure: Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution (AMD)
The script visualizes the AMD framework:
Accumulation → Price ranges inside Initial Balance (IB).
Manipulation → Liquidity sweep above IB High or below IB Low.
Distribution → Market Structure Shift (MSS) confirms a directional move.
This gives you a narrative structure for each session, helping you avoid random trades.
🧠 2. Filters Out Noise with MSS Confirmation
It waits for:
A liquidity sweep (manipulation),
Followed by a market structure shift (MSS),
And then confirms an entry only after a candle closes beyond structure.
This structure:
Reduces false signals,
Improves trade timing,
Helps you align with smart money delivery.
🕘 3. Focuses on the Right Time Window (Initial Balance)
You only engage after the 10:30 AM EST close, once the Initial Balance is formed.This aligns with ICT's focus on:
Killzones (like 9:30–11:00),
Avoiding early overtrading,
Letting the market tip its hand first (through sweeps + MSS).
This timing logic supports discipline and consistency.
🟢🔴 4. Marks Entries with Risk/Reward Guidance
It plots:
AMD SHORT / LONG entries after MSS + candle confirmation,
Basic TP and SL visual markers using a static risk-reward (2:1),
Optional Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) for refinement zones.
While static, these help plan trades visually and frame targets quickly, especially if you're scalping or trading micro futures like MNQ.
📈 5. Alerts You in Real Time
Instead of manually watching:
You'll get alerts when sweeps or MSS setups appear.
You can stay focused during the killzone or walk away and return when signals trigger.
This supports patience and alert-based discipline.
💡
You already:
Use 15M/1M execution,
Wait for ERL or HOD/LOD sweeps,
Look for MSS + CISD,
Trade in killzones only,
Target 50–62–70% Fibs with SMT/FVG confluence.
This script:✅ Automates sweep + MSS detection✅ Plots AMD-based entries visually✅ Simplifies your killzone execution✅ Helps avoid FOMO by filtering setups✅ Keeps your journal entries clean with structure
