Price Action Smart Money Concepts [BigBeluga]THE SMART MONEY CONCEPTS Toolkit
The Smart Money Concepts [ BigBeluga ] is a comprehensive toolkit built around the principles of "smart money" behavior, which refers to the actions and strategies of institutional investors.
The Smart Money Concepts Toolkit brings together a suite of advanced indicators that are all interconnected and built around a unified concept: understanding and trading like institutional investors, or "smart money." These indicators are not just randomly chosen tools; they are features of a single overarching framework, which is why having them all in one place creates such a powerful system.
This all-in-one toolkit provides the user with a unique experience by automating most of the basic and advanced concepts on the chart, saving them time and improving their trading ideas.
Real-time market structure analysis simplifies complex trends by pinpointing key support, resistance, and breakout levels.
Advanced order block analysis leverages detailed volume data to pinpoint high-demand zones, revealing internal market sentiment and predicting potential reversals. This analysis utilizes bid/ask zones to provide supply/demand insights, empowering informed trading decisions.
Imbalance Concepts (FVG and Breakers) allows traders to identify potential market weaknesses and areas where price might be attracted to fill the gap, creating opportunities for entry and exit.
Swing failure patterns help traders identify potential entry points and rejection zones based on price swings.
Liquidity Concepts, our advanced liquidity algorithm, pinpoints high-impact events, allowing you to predict market shifts, strong price reactions, and potential stop-loss hunting zones. This gives traders an edge to make informed trading decisions based on liquidity dynamics.

🔵 BASIC DEMONSTRATION OF ALL FEATURES
1. MARKET STRUCTURE
The preceding image illustrates the market structure functionality within the Smart Money Concepts indicator.
➤ Solid lines: These represent the core indicator's internal structure, forming the foundation for most other components. They visually depict the overall market direction and identify major reversal points marked by significant price movements (denoted as 'x').
➤ Internal Structure: These represent an alternative internal structure with the potential to drive more rapid market shifts. This is particularly relevant when a significant gap exists in the established swing structure, specifically between the Break of Structure (BOS) and the most recent Change of High/Low (CHoCH). Identifying these formations can offer opportunities for quicker entries and potential short-term reversals.
➤ Sweeps (x): These signify potential turning points in the market where liquidity is removed from the structure. This suggests a possible trend reversal and presents crucial entry opportunities. Sweeps are identified within both swing and internal structures, providing valuable insights for informed trading decisions.
➤ Mapping structure: A tool that automatically identifies and connects significant price highs and lows, creating a zig-zag pattern. It visualizes market structure, highlights trends, support/resistance levels, and potential breakouts. Helps traders quickly grasp price action patterns and make informed decisions.
➤ Color-coded candles based on market structure: These colors visually represent the underlying market structure, making it easier for traders to quickly identify trends.
➤ Extreme H&L: It visualizes market structure with extreme high and lows, which gives perspective for macro Market Structure.
2. VOLUMETRIC ORDER BLOCKS
Order blocks are specific areas on a financial chart where significant buying or selling activity has occurred. These are not just simple zones; they contain valuable information about market dynamics. Within each of these order blocks, volume bars represent the actual buying and selling activity that took place. These volume bars offer deeper insights into the strength of the order block by showing how much buying or selling power is concentrated in that specific zone.
Additionally, these order blocks can be transformed into Breaker Blocks. When an order block fails—meaning the price breaks through this zone without reversing—it becomes a breaker block. Breaker blocks are particularly useful for trading breakouts, as they signal that the market has shifted beyond a previously established zone, offering opportunities for traders to enter in the direction of the breakout.
Here's a breakdown:
➤ Bear Order Blocks (Red): These are zones where a lot of selling happened. Traders see these areas as places where sellers were strong, pushing the price down. When the price returns to these zones, it might face resistance and drop again.
➤ Bull Order Blocks (Green): These are zones where a lot of buying happened. Traders see these areas as places where buyers were strong, pushing the price up. When the price returns to these zones, it might find support and rise again.
These Order Blocks help traders identify potential areas for entering or exiting trades based on past market activity. The volume bars inside blocks show the amount of trading activity that occurred in these blocks, giving an idea of the strength of buying or selling pressure.
➤ Breaker Block: When an order block fails, meaning the price breaks through this zone without reversing, it becomes a breaker block. This indicates a significant shift in market liquidity and structure.
➤ A bearish breaker block occurs after a bullish order block fails. This typically happens when there's an upward trend, and a certain level that was expected to support the market's rise instead gives way, leading to a sharp decline. This decline indicates that sellers have overcome the buyers, absorbing liquidity and shifting the sentiment from bullish to bearish.
Conversely, a bullish breaker block is formed from the failure of a bearish order block. In a downtrend, when a level that was expected to act as resistance is breached, and the price shoots up, it signifies that buyers have taken control, overpowering the sellers.
3. FAIR VALUE GAPS:
A fair value gap (FVG), also referred to as an imbalance, is an essential concept in Smart Money trading. It highlights the supply and demand dynamics. This gap arises when there's a notable difference between the volume of buy and sell orders. FVGs can be found across various asset classes, including forex, commodities, stocks, and cryptocurrencies.
FVGs in this toolkit have the ability to detect raids of FVG which helps to identify potential price reversals.
Mitigation option helps to change from what source FVGs will be identified: Close, Wicks or AVG.
4. SWING FAILURE PATTERN (SFP):
The Swing Failure Pattern is a liquidity engineering pattern, generally used to fill large orders. This means, the SFP generally occurs when larger players push the price into liquidity pockets with the sole objective of filling their own positions.
SFP is a technical analysis tool designed to identify potential market reversals. It works by detecting instances where the price briefly breaks a previous high or low but fails to maintain that breakout, quickly reversing direction.
How it works:
Pattern Detection: The indicator scans for price movements that breach recent highs or lows.
Reversal Confirmation: If the price quickly reverses after breaching these levels, it's identified as an SFP.
➤ SFP Display:
Bullish SFP: Marked with a green symbol when price drops below a recent low before reversing upwards.
Bearish SFP: Marked with a red symbol when price rises above a recent high before reversing downwards.
➤ Deviation Levels: After detecting an SFP, the indicator projects white lines showing potential price deviation:
For bullish SFPs, the deviation line appears above the current price.
For bearish SFPs, the deviation line appears below the current price.
These deviation levels can serve as a potential trading opportunity or areas where the reversal might lose momentum.
With Volume Threshold and Filtering of SFP traders can adjust their trading style:
Volume Threshold: This setting allows traders to filter SFPs based on the volume of the reversal candle. By setting a higher volume threshold, traders can focus on potentially more significant reversals that are backed by higher trading activity.
SFP Filtering: This feature enables traders to filter SFP detection. It includes parameters such as:
5. LIQUIDITY CONCEPTS:
➤ Equal Lows (EQL) and Equal Highs (EQH) are important concepts in liquidity-based trading.
EQL: A series of two or more swing lows that occur at approximately the same price level.
EQH: A series of two or more swing highs that occur at approximately the same price level.
EQLs and EQHs are seen as potential liquidity pools where a large number of stop loss orders or limit orders may be clustered. They can be used as potential reverse points for trades.
This multi-period feature allows traders to select less and more significant EQL and EQH:
➤ Liquidity wicks:
Liquidity wicks are a minor representation of a stop-loss hunt during the retracement of a pivot point:
➤ Buy and Sell side liquidity:
The buy side liquidity represents a concentration of potential buy orders below the current price level. When price moves into this area, it can lead to increased buying pressure due to the execution of these orders.
The sell side liquidity indicates a pool of potential sell orders below the current price level. Price movement into this area can result in increased selling pressure as these orders are executed.
➤ Sweep Liquidation Zones:
Sweep Liquidation Zones are crucial for understanding market structure and potential future price movements. They provide insights into areas where significant market participants have been forced out of their positions, potentially setting up new trading opportunities.
🔵 USAGE & EXAMPLES
The core principle behind the success of this toolkit lies in identifying "confluence." This refers to the convergence of multiple trading indicators all signaling the same information at a specific point or area. By seeking such alignment, traders can significantly enhance the likelihood of successful trades.
MS + OBs
The chart illustrates a highly bullish setup where the price is rejecting from a bullish order block (POC), while simultaneously forming a bullish Swing Failure Pattern (SFP). This occurs after an internal structure change, marked by a bullish Change of Character (CHoCH). The price broke through a bearish order block, transforming it into a breaker block, further confirming the bullish momentum.
The combination of these elements—bullish order blocks, SFP, and CHoCH—creates a powerful bullish signal, reinforcing the potential for upward movement in the market.
SFP + Bear OB
This chart above displays a bearish setup with a high probability of a price move lower. The price is currently rejecting from a bear order block, which represents a key resistance area where significant selling pressure has previously occurred. A Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) has also formed near this bear order block, indicating that the price briefly attempted to break above a recent high but failed to sustain that upward movement. This failure suggests that buyers are losing momentum, and the market could be preparing for a move to the downside.
Additionally, we can toggle on the Deviation Area in the SFP section to highlight potential levels where price deviation might occur. These deviation areas represent zones where the price is likely to react after the Swing Failure Pattern:
BUY – SELL sides + EQL
The chart showcases a bullish setup with a high probability of price breaking out of the current sell-side resistance level. The market structure indicates a formation of Equal Lows (EQL), which often suggests a build-up of liquidity that could drive the price higher.
The presence of strong buy-side pressure (69%), indicated by the green zone at the bottom, reinforces this bullish outlook. This area represents a key support zone where buyers are outpacing sellers, providing the foundation for a potential upward breakout.
EQL + Bull ChoCh
This chart illustrates a potential bullish setup, driven by the formation of Equal Lows (EQL) followed by a bullish Change of Character (CHoCH). The presence of Equal Lows often signals a liquidity build-up, which can lead to a reversal when combined with additional bullish signals.
Liquidity grab + Bull ChoCh + FVGs
This chart demonstrates a strong bullish scenario, where several important market dynamics are at play. The price begins its upward momentum from Liquidity grab following a bullish Change of Character (CHoCH), signaling the transition from a bearish phase to a bullish one.
As the price progresses, it performs liquidity grabs, which serve to gather the necessary fuel for further movement. These liquidity grabs often occur before significant price surges, as large market participants exploit these areas to accumulate positions before pushing the price higher.
The chart also highlights a market imbalance area, showing strong momentum as the price moves swiftly through this zone.
In this examples, we see how the combination of multiple “smart money” tools helps identify a potential trade opportunities. This is just one of the many scenarios that traders can spot using this toolkit. Other combinations—such as order blocks, liquidity grabs, fair value gaps, and Swing Failure Patterns (SFPs)—can also be layered on top of these concepts to further refine your trading strategy.

ICT Power Of Three | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new ICT Power Of Three Indicator! This indicator is built around the ICT's "Power Of Three" strategy. This strategy makes use of these 3 key smart money concepts : Accumulation, Manipulation and Distribution. Each step is explained in detail within this write-up. For more information about the process, check the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
Features of the new ICT Power Of Three Indicator :
Implementation of ICT's Power Of Three Strategy
Different Algorithm Modes
Customizable Execution Settings
Customizable Backtesting Dashboard
Alerts for Buy, Sell, TP & SL Signals
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The "Power Of Three" comes from these three keywords "Accumulation, Manipulation and Distribution". Here is a brief explanation of each keyword :
Accumulation -> Accumulation phase is when the smart money accumulate their positions in a fixed range. This phase indicates price stability, generally meaning that the price constantly switches between up & down trend between a low and a high pivot point. When the indicator detects an accumulation zone, the Power Of Three strategy begins.
Manipulation -> When the smart money needs to increase their position sizes, they need retail traders' positions for liquidity. So, they manipulate the market into the opposite direction of their intended direction. This will result in retail traders opening positions the way that the smart money intended them to do, creating liquidity. After this step, the real move that the smart money intended begins.
Distribution -> This is when the real intention of the smart money comes into action. With the new liquidity thanks to the manipulation phase, the smart money add their positions towards the opposite direction of the retail mindset. The purpose of this indicator is to detect the accumulation and manipulation phases, and help the trader move towards the same direction as the smart money for their trades.
Detection Methods Of The Indicator :
Accumulation -> The indicator detects accumulation zones as explained step-by-step :
1. Draw two lines from the lowest point and the highest point of the latest X bars.
2. If the (high line - low line) is lower than Average True Range (ATR) * accumulationConstant
3. After the condition is validated, an accumulation zone is detected. The accumulation zone will be invalidated and manipulation phase will begin when the range is broken.
Manipulation -> If the accumulation range is broken, check if the current bar closes / wicks above the (high line + ATR * manipulationConstant) or below the (low line - ATR * manipulationConstant). If the condition is met, the indicator detects a manipulation zone.
Distribution -> The purpose of this indicator is to try to foresee the distribution zone, so instead of a detection, after the manipulation zone is detected the indicator automatically create a "shadow" distribution zone towards the opposite direction of the freshly detected manipulation zone. This shadow distribution zone comes with a take-profit and stop-loss layout, customizable by the trader in the settings.
The X bars, accumulationConstant and manipulationConstant are subject to change with the "Algorithm Mode" setting. Read the "Settings" section for more information.
This indicator follows these steps and inform you step by step by plotting them in your chart.
🚩UNIQUENESS
This indicator is an all-in-one suite for the ICT's Power Of Three concept. It's capable of plotting the strategy, giving signals, a backtesting dashboard and alerts feature. Different and customizable algorithm modes will help the trader fine-tune the indicator for the asset they are currently trading. The backtesting dashboard allows you to see how your settings perform in the current ticker. You can also set up alerts to get informed when the strategy is executable for different tickers.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Algorithm Mode -> The indicator offers 3 different detection algorithm modes according to your needs. Here is the explanation of each mode.
a) Small Manipulation
This mode has the default bar length for the accumulation detection, but a lower manipulation constant, meaning that slighter imbalances in the price action can be detected as manipulation. This setting can be useful on tickers that have lower liquidity, thus can be manipulated easier.
b) Big Manipulation
This mode has the default bar length for the accumulation detection, but a higher manipulation constant, meaning that heavier imbalances on the price action are required in order to detect manipulation zones. This setting can be useful on tickers that have higher liquidity, thus can be manipulated harder.
c) Short Accumulation
This mode has a ~70% lower bar length requirement for accumulation zone detection, and the default manipulation constant. This setting can be useful on tickers that are highly volatile and do not enter accumulation phases too often.
Breakout Method -> If "Close" is selected, bar close price will be taken into calculation when Accumulation & Manipulation zone invalidation. If "Wick" is selected, a wick will be enough to validate the corresponding zone.
2. TP / SL
TP / SL Method -> If "Fixed" is selected, you can adjust the TP / SL ratios from the settings below. If "Dynamic" is selected, the TP / SL zones will be auto-determined by the algorithm.
Risk -> The risk you're willing to take if "Dynamic" TP / SL Method is selected. Higher risk usually means a better winrate at the cost of losing more if the strategy fails. This setting is has a crucial effect on the performance of the indicator, as different tickers may have different volatility so the indicator may have increased performance when this setting is correctly adjusted.
3. Visuals
Show Zones -> Enables / Disables rendering of Accumulation (yellow) and Manipulation (red) zones.

ICT Immediate Rebalance [LuxAlgo]The ICT Immediate Rebalance aims at detecting and highlighting immediate rebalances, a concept taught by Inner Circle Trader. The ICT Immediate Rebalance, although frequently overlooked, emerges as one of ICT's most influential concepts, particularly when considered within a specific context.
🔶 USAGE
Immediate rebalances, a concept taught by ICT, hold significant importance in decision-making. To comprehend the concept of immediate rebalance, it's essential to grasp the notion of the fair value gap. A fair value gap arises from market inefficiencies or imbalances, whereas an immediate rebalance leaves no gap, no inefficiencies, or no imbalances that the price would need to return to.
Following an immediate rebalance, the typical expectation is for two extension candles to ensue; failing this, the immediate rebalance is deemed unsuccessful. It's important to note that both failed and successful immediate rebalances hold significance in trading when analyzed within a contextual framework.
Immediate rebalances can manifest across various locations and timeframes. It's recommended to analyze them in conjunction with other ICT tools or technical indicators to gain a more comprehensive understanding of market dynamics.
🔹 Multi Timeframe
The script facilitates multi-timeframe analysis, enabling users to display immediate rebalances from higher timeframes.
Enabling the display of higher timeframe candles helps visualize the detected immediate rebalance patterns.
🔹 Dashboard
The dashboard offers statistical insights into immediate rebalances.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Immediate Rebalances
Timeframe: this option is to identify immediate rebalances from higher timeframes. If a timeframe lower than the chart's timeframe is selected, calculations will be based on the chart's timeframe.
Bullish, and Bearish Immediate Rebalances: color customization options.
Wicks 75%, %50, and %25: color customization options of the wick price levels for the detected immediate rebalances.
Immediate Rebalance Candles: toggles the visualization of higher timeframe candles where immediate rebalance is detected.
Confirmation (Bars): specifies the number of bars required to confirm the validation of the detected immediate rebalance.
Immediate Rebalance Icon: allows customization of the size of the icon used to represent the immediate rebalance.
🔹 Dashboard
Dashboard: toggles the visualization of the dashboard, sets its location, and customizes the size of the dashboard.

Institutional Supply and Demand ZonesThis indicator aims to identify price levels where institutional investors have positioned their buy or sell orders. These buy orders establish "demand zones," while sell orders create "supply zones." Identifying these zones enables us to anticipate potential reversals in price trends, allowing us to profitably engage in these significant market movements alongside major institutions. These zones are formed when price action goes from balanced to imbalanced. These zones are based on orders. Unlike standard support and resistance levels, when price breaks below a demand zone or above a supply zone, these zones disappear from the chart.
Supply is formed by a green candle followed by a major red candle that is at least double the size of previous green candle. The zone is then charted from the open of the green candle to the highest point in the candle. Vice versa for a demand zone (red into green).
These zones are traded by:
1. Look for a volume spike in a zone
2. A trend/trendline break out of the zone
ICT HTF Candles [Source Code] (fadi)Plotting a configurable higher timeframe on current chart's timeframe helps visualize price movement without changing timeframes. It also plots FVG and Volume Imbalance on the higher timeframe for easier visualization.
With ICT concepts, we usually wait for HTF break of structure and then find an entry on a lower timeframe. With this indicator, we can set it to the HTF and watch the develop of price action until the break of structure happens. We can then take an entry on the current timeframe.
Settings
HTF Higher timeframe to plot
Number of candles to display The number of higher timeframe candles to display to the right of current price action
Body/Border/Wick The candle colors for the body, border, and wick
Padding from current candles The distance from current timeframe's candles

Bar Magnified Volume Profile/Fixed Range [ChartPrime]This indicator draws a volume profile by utilizing data from the lower timeframe to get a more accurate representation of where volume occurred on a bar to bar basis. The indicator creates a price range, and then splits that price range into 100 grids by default. The indicator then drops down to the lower timeframe, approximately 16 times lower than the current timeframe being viewed on the chart, and then parses through all of the lower timeframe bars, and attributes the lower timeframe bar volume to all grids that it is touching. The volume is dispersed proportionally to the grids which it is touching by whatever percent of the candle is inside each grid. For example, if one of the lower timeframe bars is interacting with "2" of the grids in the profile, and 60% of the candle is inside of the top grid, 60% of the volume from said candle will be attributed to the grid.
To make all of this magic happen, this script utilizes a quadratic time complexity algorithm while parsing and attributing the volume to all of the grids. Due to this type of algorithm being used in the script, many of the user inputs have been limited to allow for simplicity, but also to prevent possible errors when executing loops. For the most part, all of the settings have been thoroughly tested and configured with the right amount of limitations to prevent these errors, but also still give the user a broad range of flexibility to adjust the script to their liking.
📗 SETTINGS
Lookback Period: The lookback period determines how many bars back the script will search for the "highest high" and the "lowest low" which will then be used to generate the grids in-between
Number Of Levels: This setting determines how many grids there will be within the volume profile/fixed range. This is personal preference, however it is capped at 100 to prevent time complexity issues
Profile Length: This setting allows you to stretch or thin the volume profile. A higher number will stretch it more, vise versa a smaller number will thin it further. This does not change the volume profiles results or values, only its visual appearance.
Profile Offset: This setting allows you to offset the profile to the left or right, in the event the user does not appreciate the positioning of the default location of the profile. A higher number will shift it to the right, vise versa a lower number will shift it to the left. This is personal preference and does not affect the results or values of the profile.
🧰 UTILITY
The volume profile/fixed range can be used in many ways. One of the most popular methods is to identify high volume areas on the chart to be used as trade entries or exits in the event of the price revisiting the high volume areas. Take this picture as an example. The image clearly demonstrates how the 2 highest areas of volume within this magnified volume profile also line up to great areas of support and resistance in the market.
Here are some other useful methods of using the volume profile/fixed range
Identify Key Support and Resistance Levels for Setups
Determine Logical Take Profits and Stop Losses
Calculate Initial R Multiplier
Identify Balanced vs Imbalanced Markets
Determine Strength of Trends
Session Markers - JDK AnalysisSession Markers is a tool designed to study how markets behave during specific, recurring time windows. Many traders know that price behaves differently depending on the day of the week, the time of the day, or particular market sessions such as the weekly open, the London session, or the New York open. This indicator makes those recurring windows visible on the chart and then analyzes what price typically does inside them. The result is a clear statistical understanding of how a chosen session behaves, both in direction and in strength.
The script works by allowing the trader to define any time window using a start day and time and an end day and time. Every time this window occurs on the chart, the indicator highlights it with a full-height vertical band. These visual markers reveal patterns that are otherwise difficult to detect manually, such as whether certain sessions tend to trend, reverse, consolidate, or create large imbalances. They also help the trader quickly scan through historical price action to see how the market has behaved under similar conditions.
For every completed session window, the indicator measures how much price changed from the moment the window began to the moment it ended. Instead of using raw price differences, it converts these changes into percentage moves. This makes the measurement consistent across different price ranges and market regimes. A one-percent move always has the same meaning, whether the asset is trading at 100 or 50,000. These percentage moves are collected for a user-selected number of past sessions, creating a dataset of how the market has behaved in the chosen time window.
Based on this dataset, the indicator generates several statistics. It counts how many past sessions closed higher and how many closed lower, producing a directional tendency. It also computes the probability of an upward session by dividing the number of positive sessions by the total. More importantly, it calculates the average percentage movement for all sessions in the lookback period. This average move reflects not just the direction but also the magnitude of price changes. A session with frequent small upward moves but occasional large downward moves will show a negative average movement, even if more sessions ended positive. This creates a more realistic representation of true market behavior.
Using this average movement, the script determines a “Bias” for the session. If the average percentage move is positive, the bias is considered bullish. If it is negative, the bias is bearish. If the values are very close to zero, the bias is neutral. This way, the indicator takes both frequency and impact into account, producing a magnitude-aware assessment instead of one that only counts wins and losses. A sequence such as +5%, –1% results in a bullish bias because the overall impact is strongly positive. On the other hand, a series of small gains followed by a large drop produces a bearish bias even if more sessions ended positive, because the large move dominates the average. This provides a far more truthful picture of what the market tends to do during the chosen window.
All relevant statistics are displayed neatly in a small panel in the top-right corner of the chart. The panel updates in real time as new sessions complete and older ones fall out of the lookback range. It shows how many sessions were analyzed, how many ended up or down, the probability of an upward move, the average percentage change, and the final bias. The background color of the panel instantly reflects that bias, making it easy to interpret at a glance.
To use the tool effectively, the trader simply needs to define a time window of interest. This could be something like the weekly opening window from Sunday to Monday, the London open each day, or even a unique custom window. After selecting how many past sessions to analyze, the indicator takes care of the rest. The vertical session markers reveal the structure visually. The statistics summarize the historical behavior objectively. The magnitude-weighted bias provides a realistic indication of whether the window tends to produce upward or downward movement on average.
Session Markers is helpful because it translates repeated market timing behavior into measurable data. It exposes hidden tendencies that are easy to feel intuitively but hard to quantify manually. By analyzing both direction and magnitude, it prevents misleading interpretations that can arise from looking only at win rates. It helps traders understand whether a session typically produces meaningful moves or just small noise, whether it tends to trend or reverse, and whether its behavior has recently changed. Whether used for bias building, session filtering, or deeper market research, it offers a structured framework for understanding the market through time-based patterns.
Psychological Price Level GBPJPY (.250 / .750)This indicator is designed for GBPJPY traders who work with precision and smart-money-based analysis. It automatically plots psychological price levels at .250 and .750, which are known institutional reference points that often influence market structure, price reactions, and liquidity behavior. Unlike typical round-number indicators, this tool focuses specifically on quarter levels, which are frequently used by algorithms, banks, and experienced institutional traders.
Fixed and Reliable Levels
As price evolves, the levels update automatically and remain fixed on the chart without shifting when you scroll. This ensures that the levels always stay anchored to relevant market structure, making them reliable reference points for planning entries, targets, or stop placements.
Customization
The indicator allows full customization. You can freely adjust the line color, line thickness, and line style to match your personal trading chart layout. You can also choose whether lines extend left, right, or both directions, making the tool flexible enough to fit minimalist or highly marked-up workspaces.
Why These Levels Matter
In smart money trading approaches, the .250 and .750 levels often act as magnetic zones. Price frequently gravitates toward them to test liquidity or engineer traps before continuing its move. These levels may serve as rejection points, breakout confirmation zones, or take-profit areas depending on the broader context. Because they frequently align with order blocks, fair value gaps, and market structure shifts, they can add meaningful confluence to directional bias and trade timing.
Who Can Benefit
This tool is particularly useful for scalpers, day traders, and swing traders who base decisions on liquidity behavior and institutional logic. It works well on any timeframe and complements concepts such as premium and discount models, inefficiencies, fair value gaps, and volume imbalances. Many traders find that these price levels help them identify reactions earlier, refine entries, and improve confidence when executing trades.
Final Note
If this indicator supports your trading workflow, feel free to leave a comment or mark it as a favorite + give it a BOOST . Your feedback helps guide future improvements and ensures the tool continues evolving for serious GBPJPY traders.
Happy trading — and stay precise. 🚀📊

Energy Meter (Candle Range/ATR Ratio)Purpose:
This indicator is a simple, intuitive way to visualize auction energy — the actual force behind a price move — rather than just its appearance on the chart. It’s built on a single idea:
If a bar travels farther than normal in its fixed amount of time, something pushed harder than usual.
That “push” is auction energy, and it’s the raw material of microstructure inference: reading intent and imbalance from nothing more than candles, tempo, and volatility.
Traditional indicators focus on price patterns or volume. This one focuses on pressure — the underlying imbalance driving each bar.
How It Works
Each bar’s True Range is divided by its ATR, producing a normalized ratio:
1.0 = Average energy
>1.2 (default) = Above-normal energy
<1.0 = Quiet, low-pressure bars
This ratio is plotted as a histogram to highlight bursts of force, with a smoothed line added to show the tempo of recent energy changes.
When the histogram spikes, you’re seeing the auction flash its teeth: aggression, initiative, failed absorption, breakout ignition, or the first punch of a reversal.
When the line rolls over, you’re seeing the engine lose torque.
It’s a minimalist tool for seeing who is actually winning the auction, even when price looks deceptively calm.
Why It Matters
Price moves because of imbalance, not geometry. Two candles that look identical can represent completely different internal dynamics.
This indicator helps you see:
Breakout strength vs. fakeouts
Acceleration vs. drift
Exhaustion after extended runs
Reversal attempts with real intent
Quiet absorption before explosive moves
Shifts in aggression hidden inside consolidation
For new traders, it’s a clean introduction to microstructure inference — extracting meaningful order-flow insights without needing L2, DOM, or volume profile.
For experienced traders, it's a compact impulse detector that complements trend, volatility, and liquidity models.
Summary
This is a lightweight, first-principles tool designed to expose the energy signature of the auction: how hard the market is trying to go somewhere.
It doesn’t predict direction — it reveals pressure, so you can judge the quality of the move you’re trading.
Energy beats geometry.
Intent beats patterns.
Microstructure is hiding in every candle; this indicator makes it visible.

Supply & Demand ZonesThis indicator detects high-probability supply and demand zones using a multi-step smart money concept approach:
Liquidity Sweep Detection: Identifies when price sweeps above a pivot high (supply setup) or below a pivot low (demand setup), capturing liquidity grabs by institutional traders.
Displacement Confirmation: Requires a strong displacement candle (measured by ATR and body percentage) or fair value gap (FVG/imbalance) in the opposite direction after the sweep.
Volume Confirmation: Optional filter ensures zones form only when volume exceeds the user-defined threshold, indicating institutional participation.
Smart Filtering: Built-in logic prevents overlapping zones, enforces minimum spacing between signals, and requires confirmation bars to eliminate false signals.
Zone Lifecycle Management: Zones are automatically removed when price closes through them with momentum. Breached zones can optionally "flip" to the opposite type when re-tested with strong displacement.
✨ Key Features
Clean Visual Display: Small "D" (Demand) and "S" (Supply) labels with shaded zone boxes
Non-Repainting: All signals use confirmed historical data—no lookahead or repainting
Volume Filter: Optional confirmation using volume spike detection
Zone Flip Logic: Breached demand zones can become supply (and vice versa) when violated
Overlap Prevention: Smart algorithm prevents clustered or duplicate zones
Confirmation Delay: Configurable wait period after sweep to confirm genuine setups
Customizable Inputs: Adjust pivot sensitivity, displacement thresholds, volume filters, and more
Alert Ready: Built-in alert conditions for new supply and demand zone formations

ICS🏛️ Institutional Confluence Suite (ICS) Indicator
The Institutional Confluence Suite is a powerful and highly customizable TradingView indicator built to help traders identify key institutional trading concepts across multiple timeframes. It visualizes essential market components like Market Structures (MS), Order Blocks (OB)/Breaker Blocks (BB), Liquidity Zones, and Volume Profile, providing a confluence of institutional price action data.
📈 Key Features & Components
1. Market Structures (MS)
Purpose: Automatically identifies and labels shifts in market trends (Market Structure Shift, MSS) and continuations (Break of Structure, BOS).
Timeframe Detection: You can select detection across Short Term, Intermediate Term, or Long Term swings to match your trading horizon.
Visualization: Plots colored lines (Bullish: Teal, Bearish: Red) to mark the structures and optional text labels (BOS/MSS) for clear identification.
2. Order & Breaker Blocks (OB/BB)
Purpose: Detects and projects potential Supply and Demand zones based on recent price action that led to a swing high or low.
Block Types: Distinguishes between standard Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks (OBs that fail to hold and are traded through, often serving as support/resistance in the opposite direction).
Customization:
Detection Term: Adjusts sensitivity (Short, Intermediate, Long Term).
Display Limit: Sets the maximum number of recent Bullish and Bearish blocks to display.
Price Reference: Option to use the Candle Body (Open/Close) or Candle Wicks (High/Low) to define the block boundaries.
Visualization: Displays blocks as colored boxes (Bullish: Green, Bearish: Red) extending into the future, with a dotted line marking the 50% equilibrium level. Breaker Blocks are indicated by a change in color/line style upon being broken.
3. Buyside & Sellside Liquidity (BSL/SSL)
Purpose: Highlights areas where retail stops/limit orders are likely clustered, often represented by a series of relatively equal highs (Buyside Liquidity) or lows (Sellside Liquidity).
Detection Term: Adjustable sensitivity (Short, Intermediate, Long Term).
Margin: Uses a margin (derived from ATR) to group similar swing points into a single liquidity zone.
Visualization: Plots a line and text label marking the swing point, and a box indicating the clustered liquidity zone.
4. Liquidity Voids (LV) / Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Purpose: Identifies areas where price moved sharply and inefficiency was created, often referred to as Fair Value Gaps or Imbalances. These are price ranges where minimal trading volume occurred.
Threshold: Uses a multiplier applied to the 200-period ATR to filter for significant gaps.
Mode: Can be set to Present (only show voids near the current price) or Historical (show all detected voids).
Visualization: Fills the price gap with colored boxes (Bullish/Bearish zones), often segmented to represent the price delivery across the gap.
5. Enhanced Liquidity Detection
Purpose: A complementary feature that uses volume and price action to highlight areas of high liquidity turnover, potentially indicating stronger Support and Resistance zones.
Calculation: Utilizes a volume-weighted approach to color-grade liquidity zones based on their significance.
Visualization: Plots shaded boxes (gradient-colored) around swing highs/lows, with text displaying the normalized volume strength.
6. Swing Highs/Lows
Purpose: Directly marks the price points identified as Swing Highs and Swing Lows based on the lookback periods.
Timeframe Detection: Can be enabled for Short Term, Intermediate Term, or Long Term swings.
Visualization: Plots a small colored dot/label (e.g., "⦁") at the swing point.
This indicator is an invaluable tool for traders employing ICT (Inner Circle Trader), Smart Money Concepts (SMC), or general price action strategies, as it automatically aggregates and displays these critical structural and liquidity elements.
Structure Pilot - Z&Z [Wang Indicators]Structure Pilot Zone & Zil is a complete suite of structure driven features that's build around pattern that can be visible around any timeframe.
Built in collaboration with Dave Teaches,
All these tools were shaped and combined together as the only toolkit Structure & DTFX traders want to have !
▫️ Structures & Zones ▫️
Zones are drawn when a break of structure (new high or low being created) or a market reversal happens.
It will highlight the last valid down move before a new high for bullish zones and the last valid up move before a new low for bearish zones.
These zones are used to analyze the market trend and to make entries into the market trend once the price retraces into these zones.
For example, with the latest bullish zones drawn in green for LTF zones and in blue for HTF zones, when the price retraces into this zone, there is a strong probability that the price will turn around to provide a buying opportunity all the way to the top of the zone or even higher.
These buying opportunities generally occur at specific retracement levels in the 30%, 50% and 70% zones, automatically represented by broken lines in the zones when they are created.
Example with bullish zones :
The aim with these zones is to find places on the chart where it's best to buy or sell, in order to take the biggest possible move while minimizing your risk.
Indeed, if the price is rising and a bullish zone has been created, I don't want to buy on the highs, preferring to wait for a retracement in my bullish zone to buy lower and reduce my risk, as the invalidation of the current trend will be found below the last protected low under the bullish zone drawn in blue for the HTF and in green for the LTF. Conversely, if the price is falling and a bearish zone has been created, I don't want to sell at the bottom. I'd rather wait for a retracement in the bearish zone to sell higher and reduce my risk, as the invalidation of the current trend will this time be above the last protected high above the bearish zone drawn in orange for the HTF and red for the LTF.
Example with bearish zones :
When it comes to market structure, it's good to know that zones recur within the same trend at a frequency of between 3 and 6 before there's a trend reversal.
So, after a certain number of successive zones, you can expect a reversal or the last protected high or low to be breached. The indicator automatically counts the number of successive zones, so you can keep track of the market and avoid surprises.
The zones are generated through the structure length. It can be increased to display larger (and more important) zones.
As we recommend keeping the default value (20) for new traders, experienced traders will find some success with other settings depending on their strategies.
Structure Pilot also provides auto HTF Zones, which is particularly useful to have a macro vision of the market.
Settings:
Swing types: Bullish only, Bearish only, both, or none
Structure length
Swing count: useful when it comes to tracking Trend strenght in any given time frame
Show Zones: Display boxes with 30%, 50%, and 70% fibs
Show HTF Zones: Display HTF zones with the same retracement configuration as the regular zones
Show 30%, 50% and 70%: Enable/disable these options to show or hide the corresponding fibs.
Box visibility, Line width & Line style: Style configuration for the zone
All settings can be activated or deactivated in the indicator parameters to suit individual needs and preferences.
30% Level : This is often considered a shallow retracement. If prices pull back to this level after an uptrend and flip in a lower timeframe, traders might view it as a strong sign of continued bullish momentum. Conversely, after a downtrend, this level could act as a temporary resistance where sellers might re-enter after a flip in a lower timeframe.
50% Level : This level is seen as a balance point or midpoint in the price move. A retracement to 50% can indicate a strong trend change or continuation.
70% Level : A retracement this deep can signal that the market might be losing steam or that the previous trend could be weakening. If the price bounces off this level, it might suggest that the trend is still in control but needed a more significant correction before moving further in its original direction.
We as structure traders prefer to take entry out of The 50% or when price retrace past it
there will be something at the level i'm looking for price to reverse from either some specific candles or imbalances.
Advanced traders might combine these levels with other tools or chart patterns that we bundle in this indicator.
▫️ ZIL ▫️
The ZIL Indicator is designed to automate the process of identifying key structural levels in the market and applying Fibonacci retracements when a significant price break occurs.
The indicator detects when a market structure (high or low) is broken and a candle closes below the previous low or above the previous high, indicating a potential trend shift or continuation.
• Tracks the break of structural lows or highs and waits for a confirmation candle that closes above or bellow the candle that set the new low.
Automated Fibonacci Retracement:
• Once the structure break is confirmed, the indicator automatically plots a Fibonacci retracement between:
• The high of the last bullish move (before the new low is set) or the low of the last bearish move (before the new high is set)
• The newly formed low after the structure break or the newly formed high after the structure break
Fibonacci levels plotted with colors :
• -0.27 : Dark red - Stop loss
• 0 : white - The new high/low - Potential entry
• 0.3, Orange 0.5, Light green 0.7: Green : Levels - Partial and take profit zones
• 1.15 pale blue - for your runner
We may long the retracement when the price is comming from a bearish zone using the ZIL to manage
Example :
Multi-Timeframe Support:
• Using the option "HTF ZIL" will display ZIL on higher timeframe (corresponding to the HTF Zones) on your charts to help traders find structural breaks and Fibonacci setups in both short-term and long-term markets.
HTF ZIL is really usefull to manage trades if the regular ZIL target get ran through
Wang use case :
HTF zill level are used when the small zill get ran through
▫️ Opening Range Tracker ▫️
The Opening Range Tracker is designed to help traders identify and track the opening range of a specified time period, specifically starting with the 144-minute candle between 8:24 AM and 10:48 AM. (default value) The indicator highlights this range and automatically plots key levels (30%, 50%, 70%) to provide potential strong reaction areas for trading. The time period for the opening range is fully customizable, allowing users to adjust it according to their strategy.
Opening range should be seen and used as a classic zone. If we trade above or below it price tend to come back into it and bounce of of the One or multiple level...
classic 30/50/70.
• Customizable Opening Range: Adapt the indicator to any market or session by changing the opening range time window.
• Precise Levels for Trading: The 30%, 50%, and 70% levels provide key zones where price may react, helping traders define entries, exits, or stop loss placements.
• Visual Clarity: The range box and levels make it easy to see the important price areas during the opening range and the rest of the trading session. If we range a lot in the opening range, we may range for the rest of the day. We should keep that in mind to avoid taking wrong decisions.
its basically a large zone that's we have seen often time price rejects from the level in it
Daily Reset: Each trading day resets the opening range, giving traders fresh data and new opportunities to capitalize on market movements.
Structure Pilot is built for beginner and experienced. It provides the tools to the traders that want to learn, understand, and trade efficiently within the principles of structure trading.

Order Blocks Zones with Signals█ OVERVIEW
“Order Blocks Zones with Signals” is a technical analysis tool that automatically identifies Order Blocks (OB) and optionally Fair Value Gaps (FVG) on the chart.
The script visualizes these zones as colored rectangles, offering full customization of style, transparency, and signal display.
It also generates entry and exit signals (Break & Exit) that can serve as confirmations in strategies based on price action and market structure.
Thanks to flexible candle size filters and rich visual options, the indicator maintains chart clarity and readability.
█ CONCEPTS
Order Blocks (OB) are key zones on the chart where significant price movements previously occurred — areas where large market participants (institutions, so-called smart money) initiated or closed positions.
An OB is the last candle that followed the prior trend before the market reversed (e.g., for a Bullish OB: the last bearish candle before a pivot low and a strong upward impulse).
The script detects these levels using local price pivots, analyzing candle direction to filter out less significant movements.
FVG (Fair Value Gaps) represent areas of imbalance between buyers and sellers — price gaps formed by a sharp impulse where full trading did not occur due to one-sided order dominance (e.g., excess buy or sell orders).
Why combine OB and FVG in one indicator?
Combining OB and FVG analysis is essential because these phenomena often occur sequentially in the institutional market cycle:
1. Order Block — institutions enter the market in the OB zone, absorbing orders and building positions.
2. Strong impulse — after smart money entry, a rapid price move creates an FVG (imbalance gap).
3. Retest — price naturally returns to these zones (OB or FVG), drawn by unfilled orders and the search for equilibrium.
Such areas strongly attract price, as they represent not only historical institutional levels but also open “holes” in the order book. Retests of OB and FVG are ideal entry opportunities with high reaction probability (rebound or breakout). The indicator combines these two interconnected elements, enabling comprehensive market structure analysis in a single tool.
Order Blocks are labeled as:
Bullish OB – demand zones, often accumulation areas before an upmove.
Bearish OB – supply zones, signaling potential impulse end or correction start.
█ FEATURES
Order Block Detection (OB Detection):
- Automatic identification of demand and supply zones based on pivots.
- OB is the last candle aligned with the prior trend, just before the market reversal — precisely identified through candle sequence analysis around the pivot.
- OB zones appear with a delay equal to Pivot Length (default 10 bars).
- Break signals trigger when a candle’s body (close) fully pierces the zone, causing the zone to disappear immediately (e.g., close < low of Bullish OB → Break Down and zone deletion).
- Minimum size filtering via OB Size Multiplier.
- Option to create OB without wicks (Include Wicks in OB): when disabled, OB zones are based solely on candle bodies (open/close), ignoring wicks (high/low).
Fair Value Gap Detection (FVG Detection):
- Optional, with enable/disable capability.
- FVG are detected without delay — immediately upon gap occurrence.
- Size filtering via Candle Size Period and FVG Size Multiplier.
Customizable Styling:
- Separate colors and border styles (Solid / Dashed / Dotted) for each zone type.
- Adjustable transparency and border thickness.
- Unified color for box, border, and signal of the same type.
Breakout and Exit Signals:
- Break Up – triggered when a candle’s close breaks above a Bearish OB, causing the zone to disappear.
- Break Down – triggered when a candle’s close breaks below a Bullish OB, causing the zone to disappear.
- Exit Up / Exit Down – temporary exit from the zone without full breakout (price leaves the zone but doesn’t close beyond it). Signal type selection: Break, Exit, or Both.
- Alerts: built-in alerts for all signal types — triggered automatically on candle close confirming breakout or exit from OB.
█ HOW TO USE
Adding to chart: import the code into Pine Editor and run the script on TradingView.
Settings configuration:
- Pivot Length: controls swing detection sensitivity and OB display delay (default 10).
- Include Wicks in OB: enabled (default) – OB includes wicks; disabled – OB uses bodies only.
- Size Filter: adjust Candle Size Period and OB/FVG Size Multiplier to filter out small zones.
- Colors & Styles: set colors, styles, and transparency for each zone type.
- Signal Type: choose which signals to display (Break, Exit, or Both).
Signal interpretation:
- OB Break Up: price closes above Bearish OB → zone disappears → potential bullish continuation.
- OB Break Down: price closes below Bullish OB → zone disappears → potential bearish continuation.
- Exit Signals: price leaves the zone temporarily without breakout — often signals impending reversal or pullback.
Tips:
- Use OB signals alongside other indicators like RSI, MACD, SMI, or trend filters.
- Order Blocks from higher timeframes (e.g., 4H, 1D) carry greater significance and reaction strength.
- Remember: FVG are detected immediately, OB with delay — a complementary approach!
█ APPLICATIONS
- Smart Money Concepts (SMC): use OB zones as dynamic support and resistance levels. In an uptrend, look for buy opportunities in bullish OBs, which price often retests before further gains. Combining with RSI, MACD, or Fibonacci levels enhances zone significance, confirming institutional demand.
- Breakout Trading: trade based on OB breakout signals. A buy signal after breaking a bearish OB may indicate a strong upward impulse, especially if supported by rising MACD or RSI above 50. Similarly for sell signals after Break Down.
- Reversal Zones: Exit signals may indicate the end of a move or correction. Safest to use in alignment with higher-timeframe trend and confirmed by another indicator (e.g., RSI divergence, Fibonacci levels).
- Confluence Analysis: combine OB and FVG for deeper market structure and equilibrium insight. When an Order Block overlaps or borders an FVG, we get confluence of two institutional phenomena — OB (smart money entry) + FVG (imbalance) — making these areas particularly strong price magnets, increasing retest and reaction probability.
█ NOTES
- FVG can be fully disabled for a cleaner chart view.
- In consolidation periods, signals may appear more frequently — always confirm with additional trend filters.
- Works on all markets and timeframes (crypto, forex, indices, stocks).
Balanced Delta Volume Profile (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Balanced Delta Volume Profile (Zeiierman) builds a vertical, price-by-price profile that blends total participation with balance quality. Instead of plotting raw volume alone, it weights each price bin by:
how balanced buyers vs. sellers were,
how compressed price was inside that bin,
how often price revisited it.
The result spotlights fair value and acceptance zones while still revealing momentum/imbalance areas—ideal for reading rotation vs. trend, continuation vs. exhaustion, and the prices that truly matter.
Highlights
Balanced score that fuses delta symmetry, price compression, and hit frequency.
Optional heat spectrum for instant read of participation density and balance strength.
POC-like auto highlight of the dominant price level within the lookback window.
Works across timeframes for session profiling, swing context, or regime shifts.
█ How It Works
⚪ Profile Construction
The script scans a fixed History Length and divides the full high–low span into Bin Count price bins. For every bar in the window, its volume is proportionally distributed across the bins it overlaps, so wide-range bars contribute across multiple bins, while narrow bars concentrate where they traded most. This yields per-bin totals for:
Total Volume (participation)
Positive / Negative Volume (up vs. down bar contribution)
Hit Count (how often price touched the bin)
Average Price Range (mean bar range inside the bin; a proxy for compression)
⚪ Delta & Direction
For each bin, delta symmetry is measured via the ratio of |pos − neg| to total volume. Bins with balanced two-sided flow score higher than one-sided, runaway bins. This curbs the tendency of raw volume profiles to over-reward impulsive bursts.
⚪ Balance Score
Each price bin gets a balance score that multiplies three normalized components:
Delta Balance: rewards bins where buy/sell pressure is symmetrical (configurable via Volume Momentum Weight).
Price Compression: rewards bins where average bar range is relatively small (configurable via Price Momentum Weight).
Durability: rewards bins revisited often (configurable via Hits Weight).
A Min Hits Filter removes flimsy, single-touch bins from dominating the score. The profile can display pure totals or Average Mode (Vol/Hit) to compare bins fairly when hit counts differ.
⚪ Display & Heat Spectrum
The final plotted bar length per bin is the display volume (total or average) weighted by the balance score and normalized to 100.
POC-like Highlight: The 100% bin is outlined (and labeled) when Highlight Max Volume Bin is ON.
Heat Spectrum (optional): A background gradient scales with normalized bar length and balance hue.
Balance Hue: Interpolates between Balance Low/High Colors so high-balance bins visually pop as “accepted value.”
█ How to Use
The profile is effectively a map of price acceptance:
High, bright bars = strong participation at balanced prices → fair value/rotation zones.
Thin, muted bars = poor acceptance → imbalance or transition areas.
POC-style level = most influential price in the lookback window.
⚪ Find Fair Value & Acceptance
Thick, high-balance bins mark value. Expect rotation: price often revisits or oscillates around these areas. They’re prime zones for mean-reversion fades, scale-ins, and risk-defined trades against the edges.
⚪ Identify Imbalance & Funnels
Low-balance, low-hit bins often act like air pockets—price can move through them quickly. These zones are helpful for continuation trades into thin areas or for timing breakout pulls back into acceptance.
⚪ POC Dynamics
When price leaves the POC and returns, watch for re-acceptance (price comes back into the POC or high-balance zone and stays there.) vs. rejection (trend continuation away from value). The auto-highlight makes this quick to judge.
█ Settings
History Length – Bars scanned for the profile. Longer = broader context, slower to adapt.
Bin Count – Vertical resolution of bins between the window’s min and max price.
Display Shift – Offsets the rendering rightward for clarity.
Average Mode (Vol/Hit) – ON uses average volume per visit; OFF uses total volume.
Volume Momentum Weight – Emphasizes two-way flow; higher values favor balanced bins over one-sided deltas.
Price Momentum Weight – Emphasizes compression; higher values favor narrow-range, coiling price action.
Hits Weight – Rewards bins revisited often; higher values favor durable acceptance.
Min Hits Filter – Minimum visits a bin needs to qualify for the balance score.
Show Heat Spectrum – Background gradient for quick read of density and balance.
Highlight Max Volume Bin – Outline + raw volume label for the dominant bin.
Max Volume Color – Color used for that highlight.
Balance Low/High Colors – Gradient endpoints for balance hue across the profile.

FVG SizeFVG Size Indicator – Description
Overview
This Pine Script v5 indicator detects and visualizes Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on the chart. It draws colored boxes for FVGs, center lines (CE), and displays the size of each FVG as a label. The indicator is designed for manual analysis, helping traders identify potential price imbalances.
Key Features
FVG Detection:
Identifies bullish and bearish FVGs based on price structure.
Draws colored boxes for FVGs and dotted center lines (CE).
FVG Size Display:
Shows the size of each FVG as a label inside the box.
Customizable minimum size threshold to filter out smaller FVGs.
Dynamic Adjustments:
Extends FVG boxes to the right as new bars form.
Removes FVGs that are filled (mitigated) by price action.
Customizable Settings:
Adjustable colors, text size, and display options.
Settings and Translations
Here are the German settings with their English translations:
FVG Settings
Long FVG Farbe → Long FVG Color (Color for bullish FVG boxes)
Short FVG Farbe → Short FVG Color (Color for bearish FVG boxes)
CE Farbe → CE Color (Color for the center line)
Tage Rückblick → Lookback Days (Number of days to look back for FVGs)
Lösche gefüllte Boxen & Linien → Delete Filled Boxes & Lines (Removes FVGs that have been filled by price)
FVG Display
FVG Größe anzeigen → Show FVG Size (Displays the size of each FVG as a label)
Text → Text Size (Size of the FVG size label text)
Mindestgröße → Minimum Size (Minimum FVG size to display, filtering out smaller FVGs)
How It Works
FVG Detection Logic:
A bullish FVG is detected if the high of the 3rd bar is lower than the low of the 1st bar.
A bearish FVG is detected if the low of the 3rd bar is higher than the high of the 1st bar.
Drawing FVGs:
The indicator draws a box between the high/low of the 1st and 3rd bars.
A center line (CE) is drawn at the midpoint of the FVG.
The size of the FVG is displayed as a label inside the box.
Dynamic Adjustments:
FVG boxes are extended to the right as new bars form.
If the price fills the FVG, the box and line are removed (depending on settings).
Mitigation Logic:
If the price closes beyond the FVG boundaries, the FVG is considered "filled" and removed.
