📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
1. Order Blocks
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.
The high & low volume of order blocks should be taken into consideration while determining their strengths. The determination of the high & low volume of order blocks are similar to FVGs, in a bullish order block, the high volume is the last 2 bars' total volume, while the low volume is the oldest bar's volume. In a bearish order block scenario, the low volume becomes the last 2 bars' total volume.
2. Breaker Blocks
Breaker blocks form when an order block fails, or "breaks". It is often associated with market going in the opposite direction of the broken order block, and they can be spotted by following order blocks and finding the point they get broken, i.e. price goes below a bullish order block.
The volume of a breaker block is simply the total volume of the bar that the original order block is broken. Often the higher the breaking bar's volume, the stronger the breaker block is.
The strength of Order & Breaker Blocks are calculated by the size of the block to the Average True Range (ATR) of the chart.
3. Fair Value Gaps
Fair value gaps often occur when there is an imbalance in the market, and can be spotted with a specific formation on the chart.
The volume when the FVG occurs plays an important role when determining the strength of it, so we've placed two bars on the FVG zone, indicating the high & low volumes of the FVG. The high volume is the total volume of the last two bars on a bullish FVG, while the low volume is - of the FVG. For a bearish FVG, the total volume of the last two bars is the low volume. The indicator can also detect FVGs that exist in other timeframes than the current chart.
4. Inversion Fair Value Gaps
A Fair Value Gap generally occur when there is an imbalance in the market. They can be detected by specific formations within the chart. An Inverse Fair Value Gap is when a FVG becomes invalidated, thus reversing the direction of the FVG.
IFVGs get consumed when a Close / Wick enters the IFVG zone. Check this example:
5. Market Structures
Sometimes specific market structures form and break as the market fills buy & sell orders. Formed Change of Character (CHoCH) and Break of Structure (BOS) often mean that market will change direction, and they can be spotted by inspecting low & high pivot points of the chart.
The number of times the chart recently had a BOS is displayed between brackets, Ex : (3)
6. Liquidity Zones
Buyside & Sellside Liquidity zones are where most traders place their take-profits and stop-losses in their long / short positions. They are spotted by using high & low pivot points on the chart.
7. Liquidity Grabs
Liquidity grabs occur when one of the latest pivots has a false breakout. Then, if the wick to body ratio of the bar is higher than 0.5 (can be changed from the settings) a liquidity grab has occurred.
8. Premium & Discount Zones
The premium zone is a zone that is over the fair value of the asset's price, and the discount zone is the opposite. They are formed by the latest high & low pivot points.
If the latest close price is outside the Premium or Discount zone, you will see "Premium ⬆️" or "Discount ⬇️". These mean that the price is currently higher than the premium zone or lower than the discount zone.
🚩UNIQUENESS
This screener offers a comprehensive dashboard for traders, combining multiple analytical elements with customizable settings to aid in decision-making across different tickers and timeframes. We believe that this will help traders spot trading opportunities much easier by providing crucial information in a single dashboard. Our new screener contains of common elements like Order & Breaker Blocks, Fair Value Gaps & IFVGs as well as rather unique elements like Liquidity Grabs . With the use of up to 8 tickers & timeframes , you can easily take a look at the bigger picture of the market. We recommend reading the "How Does It Work" section of the description to get a better understanding about how this indicator is unique to others.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. Tickers
You can set up to 8 tickers for the screener to scan here. You can also enable / disable them and set their individual timeframes.
You can enable / disable Retests, Strength, Consumption and (Bullish & Bearish) Volume for :
Order Blocks (Retests, Strength, Bullish & Bearish Volume)
Breaker Blocks (Retests, Strength, Volume)
Fair Value Gaps (Retests, Consumption, Strength, Bullish & Bearish Volume)
Inversion Fair Value Gaps (Retests, Consumption, Strength, Volume)
2. Order Blocks
Enabled -> Enables / Disables Order Blocks
Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for Order Block Invalidation.
Swing Length -> Swing length is used when finding order block formations. Smaller values will result in finding smaller order blocks.
3. Breaker Blocks
Enabled -> Enables / Disables Breaker Blocks
Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for Breaker Block Invalidation.
4. Fair Value Gaps
Enabled -> Enables / Disables Fair Value Gaps
Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for FVG Zone Invalidation.
Zone Filtering -> With "Average Range" selected, algorithm will find FVG zones in comparison with average range of last bars in the chart. With the "Volume Threshold" option, you may select a Volume Threshold % to spot FVGs with a larger total volume than average.
FVG Detection -> With the "Same Type" option, all 3 bars that formed the FVG should be the same type. (Bullish / Bearish). If the "All" option is selected, bar types may vary between Bullish / Bearish.
Detection Sensitivity -> You may select between Low, Normal or High FVG detection sensitivity. This will essentially determine the size of the spotted FVGs, with lower sensitivities resulting in spotting bigger FVGs, and higher sensitivities resulting in spotting all sizes of FVGs.
5. Inversion Fair Value Gaps
Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for IFVG Zone Invalidation. This setting also switches the type for IFVG consumption.
6. Market Structures
Break Of Structure (BOS) -> If the current structure of the market is broken in a bullish or bearish direction, it will be displayed.
Change Of Character (CHoCH) -> If the market shifts into another direction, it will be displayed.
Change Of Character+ (CHoCH+) -> This will display Change Of Characters detected with higher sensitivity if enabled.
7. Liquidity Zones
Buyside Liquidity -> Enables / Disables Buyside Liquidity
Sellside Liquidity -> Enables / Disables Sellside Liquidity
8. Liquidity Grabs
Pivot Length -> This setting determines the range of the pivots. This means a candle has to have the highest / lowest wick of the previous X bars and the next X bars to become a high / low pivot.
Wick-Body Ratio -> After a pivot has a false breakout, the wick-body ratio of the latest candle is tested. The resulting ratio must be higher than this setting for it to be considered as a liquidity grab.
9. Premium & Discount Zones
Enabled -> Enables / Disables Premium & Discount Zones.
10. Style
You can customize the visual looks of the screener here.

BigBeluga - Smart Money ConceptsSmart Money Concepts (SMC) is a comprehensive toolkit built around the around the principles of "smart money" behavior, which refers to the actions and strategies of institutional investors.
SMC transcends traditional technical analysis by delving deeper into this framework. This approach allows users to decipher the actions of these influential players, anticipate their potential impact on market dynamics, and gain insights beyond just price movements.
This all-in-one toolkit provide 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 edger to make informed trading decisions based on multi-timeframe liquidity dynamics
🔶 FEATURES
The indicator has quite a lot of features that are provided below:
Swing market structure
Internal market structure
Mapping structure
Discount/Premium zone
Adjustable market structure
Strong/Weak H&L
Sweep
Volumetric Order block / Breakers
Fair Value Gaps / Breakers (multi-timeframe)
Swing Failure Patterns (multi-timeframe)

🔶 BASIC DEMONSTRATION
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').
Dotted lines: 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.
🔶 USAGE & EXAMPLES
The image above showcases a detailed example of several features from our toolkit that can be used in conjunction for a comprehensive analysis.
Price rejecting from the bullish order block (POC), while printing inside a bullish SFP and internal structure turning bullish (Internal CHoCH).
The image further demonstrates how two bearish order blocks could potentially act as resistance zones when prices approach those levels. These areas might also offer attractive locations to place take-profit orders.
The price has reached our first take-profit level, but is exhibiting some signs of weakness, suggesting a potential pullback which could put the trade at higher risk.
On the other hand, the price action currently exhibits strong bullish sentiment, suggesting favorable entry points and a potential upward trend.
The price has now fully reached our take-profit zone and is also exhibiting bearish confluence, indicating a potential price reversal or trend shift.
🔶 USING CONFLUENCE
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.
In the image above we can see a few examples of the indicator used in confluence with other metrics included in the toolkit.
Liquidity Prints within order blocks
SFP close to the POC
Sweep in liquidity close to a fair value gaps
These are just a few examples of what applying confluence can look like.
🔶 SETTINGS
Window: limit calculation period
Swing: limit drawing function
Internal: a period of the beginning of the internal structure
Mapping structure: show structural points
Algorithmic Logic: (Extreme-Adjusted) Use max high/low or pivot point calculation
Algorithmic loopback: pivot point look back
Premium / Discount: Lookback period of the pivot point calculation
Show Last: Amount of Order block to display
Hide Overlap: hide overlapping order blocks
Construction: Size of the order blocks
Fair value gaps: Choose between normal FVG or Breaker FVG
Mitigation: (close - wick- avg) point to mitigate the order block/imbalance
SFP lookback: find a higher / lower point to improve accuracy
Threshold: remove less relevant SFP
Equal h&L: (short-mid-long term) display longer term

🔹 Display Options
Mode: Controls the lookback length of detection and visualization, where Present assumes last 500 bars and Historical assumes all data available to the user
# Visible Levels: Controls the amount of the liquidity levels/zones to be visualized.
🔶 USAGE
Definitions of Liquidity refer to the availability of orders at specific price levels in the market, allowing transactions to occur smoothly.
In the context of Inner Circle Trader's teachings, liquidity mainly relates to stop losses or pending orders and liquidity level/pool, highlighting a concentration of buy or sell orders at specific price levels. Smart money traders, such as banks and other large institutions, often target these liquidity levels/pools to accumulate or distribute their positions.
There are two types of liquidity; Buyside liquidity and Sellside liquidity .
Buyside liquidity represents a level on the chart where short sellers will have their stops positioned, and Sellside liquidity represents a level on the chart where long-biased traders will place their stops.
These areas often act as support or resistance levels and can provide trading opportunities.
When the liquidity levels are breached at which many stop/limit orders are placed have been traded through, the script will create a zone aiming to provide additional insight to figure out the odds of the next price action.
Reversal: It’s common that the price may reverse course and head in the opposite direction, seeking liquidity at the opposite extreme.
Continuation: When the zone is also broken it is a sign for continuation price action.
It's worth noting that ICT concepts are specific to the methodology developed by Michael J. Huddleston and may not align with other trading approaches or strategies.
🔶 DETAILS
Liquidity voids are sudden changes in price when the price jumps from one level to another. Liquidity voids will appear as a single or a group of candles that are all positioned in the same direction. These candles typically have large real bodies and very short wicks, suggesting very little disagreement between buyers and sellers. The peculiar thing about liquidity voids is that they almost always fill up.
🔶 ALERTS
When an alert is configured, the user will have the ability to be notified in case;
Liquidity level is detected/updated.
Liquidity level is breached.

Market Structure & Liquidity: CHoCHs+Nested Pivots+FVGs+Sweeps//Purpose:
This indicator combines several tools to help traders track and interpret price action/market structure; It can be divided into 4 parts;
1. CHoCHs, 2. Nested Pivot highs & lows, 3. Grade sweeps, 4. FVGs.
This gives the trader a toolkit for determining market structure and shifts in market structure to help determine a bull or bear bias, whether it be short-term, med-term or long-term.
This indicator also helps traders in determining liquidity targets: wether they be voids/gaps (FVGS) or old highs/lows+ typical sweep distances.
Finally, the incorporation of HTF CHoCH levels printing on your LTF chart helps keep the bigger picture in mind and tells traders at a glance if they're above of below Custom HTF CHoCH up or CHoCH down (these HTF CHoCHs can be anything from Hourly up to Monthly).
//Nomenclature:
CHoCH = Change of Character
STH/STL = short-term high or low
MTH/MTL = medium-term high or low
LTH/LTL = long-term high or low
FVG = Fair value gap
CE = consequent encroachement (the midline of a FVG)
~~~ The Four components of this indicator ~~~
1. CHoCHs:
•Best demonstrated in the below charts. This was a method taught to me by @Icecold_crypto. Once a 3 bar fractal pivot gets broken, we count backwards the consecutive higher lows or lower highs, then identify the CHoCH as the opposite end of the candle which ended the consecutive backwards count. This CHoCH (UP or DOWN) then becomes a level to watch, if price passes through it in earnest a trader would consider shifting their bias as market structure is deemed to have shifted.
•HTF CHoCHs: Option to print Higher time frame chochs (default on) of user input HTF. This prints only the last UP choch and only the last DOWN choch from the input HTF. Solid line by default so as to distinguish from local/chart-time CHoCHs. Can be any Higher timeframe you like.
•Show on table: toggle on show table(above/below) option to show in table cells (top right): is price above the latest HTF UP choch, or is price below HTF DOWN choch (or is it sat between the two, in a state of 'uncertainty').
•Most recent CHoCHs which have not been met by price will extend 10 bars into the future.
• USER INPUTS: overall setting: SHOW CHOCHS | Set bars lookback number to limit historical Chochs. Set Live CHoCHs number to control the number of active recent chochs unmet by price. Toggle shrink chochs once hit to declutter chart and minimize old chochs to their origin bars. Set Multi-timeframe color override : to make Color choices auto-set to your preference color for each of 1m, 5m, 15m, H, 4H, D, W, M (where up and down are same color, but 'up' icon for up chochs and down icon for down chochs remain printing as normal)
2. Nested Pivot Highs & Lows; aka 'Pivot Highs & Lows (ST/MT/LT)'
•Based on a seperate, longer lookback/lookforward pivot calculation. Identifies Pivot highs and lows with a 'spikeyness' filter (filtering out weak/rounded/unimpressive Pivot highs/lows)
•by 'nested' I mean that the pivot highs are graded based on whether a pivot high sits between two lower pivot highs or vice versa.
--for example: STH = normal pivot. MTH is pivot high with a lower STH on either side. LTH is a pivot high with a lower MTH on either side. Same applies to pivot lows (STL/MTL/LTL)
•This is a useful way to measure the significance of a high or low. Both in terms of how much it might be typically swept by (see later) and what it would imply for HTF bias were we to break through it in earnest (more than just a sweep).
• USER INPUTS: overall setting: show pivot highs & lows | Bars lookback (historical pivots to show) | Pivots: lookback/lookforward length (determines the scale of your pivot highs/lows) | toggle on/off Apply 'Spikeyness' filter (filters out smooth/unimpressive pivot highs/lows). Set Spikeyness index (determines the strength of this filter if turned on) | Individually toggle on each of STH, MTH, LTH, STL, MTL, LTL along with their label text type , and size . Toggle on/off line for each of these Pivot highs/lows. | Set label spacer (atr multiples above / below) | set line style and line width
3. Grade Sweeps:
•These are directly related to the nested pivots described above. Most assets will have a typical sweep distance. I've added some of my expected sweeps for various assets in the indicator tooltips.
--i.e. Eur/Usd 10-20-30 pips is a typical 'grade' sweep. S&P HKEX:5 - HKEX:10 is a typical grade sweep.
•Each of the ST/MT/LT pivot highs and lows have optional user defined grade sweep boxes which paint above until filled (or user option for historical filled boxes to remain).
•Numbers entered into sweep input boxes are auto converted into appropriate units (i.e. pips for FX, $ or 'handles' for indices, $ for Crypto. Very low $ units can be input for low unit value crypto altcoins.
• USER INPUTS: overall setting: Show sweep boxes | individually select colors of each of STH, MTH, LTH, STL, MTL, LTL sweep boxes. | Set Grade sweep ($/pips) number for each of ST, MT, LT. This auto converts between pips and $ (i.e. FX vs Indices/Crypto). Can be a float as small or large as you like ($0.000001 to HKEX:1000 ). | Set box text position (horizontal & vertical) and size , and color . | Set Box width (bars) (for non extended/ non-auto-terminating at price boxes). | toggle on/off Extend boxes/lines right . | Toggle on/off Shrink Grade sweeps on fill (they will disappear in realtime when filled/passed through)
4. FVGs:
•Fair Value gaps. Represent 'naked' candle bodies where the wicks to either side do not meet, forming a 'gap' of sorts which has a tendency to fill, or at least to fill to midline (CE).
•These are ICT concepts. 'UP' FVGS are known as BISIs (Buyside imbalance, sellside inefficiency); 'DOWN' FVGs are known as SIBIs (Sellside imbalance, buyside inefficiency).
• USER INPUTS: overall setting: show FVGs | Bars lookback (history). | Choose to display: 'UP' FVGs (BISI) and/or 'DOWN FVGs (SIBI) . Choose to display the midline: CE , the color and the line style . Choose threshold: use CE (as opposed to Full Fill) |toggle on/off Shrink FVG on fill (CE hit or Full fill) (declutter chart/see backtesting history)
////••Alerts (general notes & cautionary notes)::
•Alerts are optional for most of the levels printed by this indicator. Set them via the three dots on indicator status line.
•Due to dynamic repainting of levels, alerts should be used with caution. Best use these alerts either for Higher time frame levels, or when closely monitoring price.
--E.g. You may set an alert for down-fill of the latest FVG below; but price will keep marching up; form a newer/higher FVG, and the alert will trigger on THAT FVG being down-filled (not the original)
•Available Alerts:
-FVG(BISI) cross above threshold(CE or full-fill; user choice). Same with FVG(SIBI).
-HTF last CHoCH down, cross below | HTF last CHoCH up, cross above.
-last CHoCH down, cross below | last CHoCH up, cross above.
-LTH cross above, MTH cross above, STH cross above | LTL cross below, MTL cross below, STL cross below.
////••Formatting (general)::
•all table text color is set from the 'Pivot highs & Lows (ST, MT, LT)' section (for those of you who prefer black backgrounds).
•User choice of Line-style, line color, line width. Same with Boxes. Icon choice for chochs. Char or label text choices for ST/MT/LT pivot highs & lows.
////••User Inputs (general):
•Each of the 4 components of this indicator can be easily toggled on/off independently.
•Quite a lot of options and toggle boxes, as described in full above. Please take your time and read through all the tooltips (hover over '!' icon) to get an idea of formatting options.
•Several Lookback periods defined in bars to control how much history is shown for each of the 4 components of this indicator.
•'Shrink on fill' settings on FVGs and CHoCHs: Basically a way to declutter chart; toggle on/off depending on if you're backtesting or reading live price action.
•Table Display: applies to ST/MT/LT pivot highs and to HTF CHoCHs; Toggle table on or off (in part or in full)
////••Credits:
•Credit to ICT (Inner Circle Trader) for some of the concepts used in this indicator (FVGS & CEs; Grade sweeps).
•Credit to @Icecold_crypto for the specific and novel concept of identifying CHoCHs in a simple, objective and effective manner (as demonstrated in the 1st chart below).

Overview
Equilibrium is a tool designed to measure the buying & selling pressure in the market. It is depicted as a “pressure gauge” that automatically adjusts as new candles are formed, providing a real-time indication of who's on top right now, buyers or sellers?
Background
Supply & demand is considered to be the main driving force of our modern economies, where the interaction between the two parties(sellers & buyers) leads to the determination of the fair price for a given product. Stock markets are no exception, they operate very much based around the idea of supply & demand.
In simple terms, supply refers to the availability of a product, and demand is the willingness of consumers to buy that product at a given price. It is obvious that different vendors may sell the same product at slightly different prices, and similarly, different customers may choose to buy the same product from different vendors at varying prices. The idea is that the price is allowed to fluctuate from time to time, but in a free & fair market, the price will eventually settle down to a value that makes both the parties happy. Such a state is known as the “Price-Equilibrium”, and this process is also referred to as the market mechanism.
This is the basic assumption around which this tool is based, the market is always trying to move towards a state of equilibrium.
Calculations
This tool takes a simplistic approach to estimate the degree of imbalance between buyers & sellers, here’s a brief summary of how the pressure is calculated:
- We compute the total lengths of red & green candles for a given period, i.e. price range multiplied by the volume for that candle.
- Then the distribution of each type of candle is calculated.
- Assuming more red candles denote more selling pressure, and green candles denote buying pressure, the gauge is populated cell by cell.
- As the pressure on one side increases, the intensity of the cell color also increases, signifying the extent to which one side is dominating.
How to use it
- The indicator is designed as a pressure gauge that moves up(vertical alignment) or to the right(horizontal alignment) as the buying pressure increases, and moves down or to the left as the selling pressure increases. How it is to be used & applied, that completely depends on your trading methodology. But, the general idea is that we expect the market to be in a state of equilibrium, and if that is not the case the tool will highlight that, and this is also where the opportunity lies to find suitable trades.
- Just by having an idea about who’s dominating the market currently, a trader can also pick sides wisely. Remember, the market is always striving to come back a state of equilibrium, and a slight imbalance can indicate the current trend, and more importantly, who’s more likely to make the next move.
User Settings
The tool offers some minimal configurations for the end user:
- You can choose to display the actual percentage value in the gauge(Show Text).
- You can adjust colors that denote buyers & sellers.
- You can change the layout of gauge, default is vertical(right side of the screen).
- Last, and most important, you can adjust the number of candles to traverse for calculating the pressure. Default is 50, can go upto 1000.
Trail Blaze - (Multi Function Trailing Stop Loss) - [mutantdog]Shorter version:
As the title states, this is a 'Trailing Stop' type indicator, albeit one with a whole bunch of additional functionality, making it far more versatile and customisable than a standard trailing stop.
The main set of features includes:
Three independent trailing types each with their own +/- multipliers:
- Standard % change
- ATR (aka Supertrend)
- IQR (inter-quartile range)
These can be used in isolation or summed together. A subsequent pair of direction specific multipliers are also included.
Two separate custom source inputs are available, both feature the standard options alongside a selection of 'weighted inputs' and the option to use another indicator (selected via 'AUX'):
- 'Centre' determines the value about which the trailing sum will be added to define the stop level.
- 'Trigger' determines the value used for crossing of stops, initiating trend changes and triggering alerts.
A selection of optional filters and moving averages are available for both.
Furthermore there are various useful visualisation options available, including the underlying bands that govern the stop levels. Preset alerts for trend reversals are also included.
This is not really an 'out-of-the-box' indicator. Depending upon the market and timeframe some adjustments will be necessary for it to function in a useful manner, these can be as simple or complex as the feature-set allows. Basic settings are easy to dial in however and the default state is intended as a good starting point. Alternatively with some experimentation, a plethora of unique and creative configurations are possible, making this a great tool for tweaking. Below is a more detailed overview followed by a bunch of simple example settings.
------------------------
Lengthy Version :
DESIGN & CONCEPT
Before we start breaking this down, a little background. This started off as an attempt to improve upon the ever-popular Supertrend indicator. Of course there are many excellent user created variants available utilising some interesting methods to overcome the drawbacks of the basic version. To that end, rather than copying the work of others, the direction here shifted towards a hybrid trailing stop loss with a bunch of additional user customisation options. At some point, a completely different project involving IQR got morphed into this one. After sitting through months of sideways chop (where this proved to be of limited use), at the time of publication the market has began to form some near term trend direction and it appears to be performing well in many different timeframes.
And so with that out of the way...
INPUTS
The standard Supertrend (and most other variants) includes a single source input, as default set to 'hl2' (candle mid-range). This is the centre around which the atr bands are added/subtracted to govern the stop levels. This is not however the value which is used to trigger the trend reversal, that is usually hard-coded to 'close'. For this version both source values are adjustable: labelled 'centre' and 'trigger' respectively.
Each has custom input selectors including the usual options, a selection of 'weighted inputs' and the option to use another indicator (selected from the Aux input). The 'weighted inputs' are those introduced in Weight Gain 4000, for more details please refer to that listing. These should be treated as experimental, however may prove useful in certain configurations. In this case 'hl-oc2' can be considered an estimate of the candle median and may be a good alternative to the default 'centre' setting of 'hl2', in contrast 'cc-ohlc4' can tend to favour the extremes in the trend direction so could be useful as a faster 'trigger' than the default 'close'.
To cap them off both come with a selection of moving average filters (SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, HMA, VWMA and a simple VWEMA - note: not elastic) aswell as median and mid-range. 'Centre' can also be set to the output of 'trigger' post-filter which can be useful if working with fast/slow crosses as the basis.
DYNAMICS
This is the main section, comprised of three separate factors: 'TSL', 'ATR' and 'IQR'. The first two should be fairly obvious, 'TSL' (trailing stop loss) is simply a percentage of the 'centre' value while 'ATR' (average true range) is the standard RMA-based version as used in Supertrend, Volatility Stop etc.
The third factor is less common however: 'IQR' (inter-quartile range). In case you are unfamiliar the principle here is, for a given dataset, the greatest 25% and smallest 25% of samples are removed. The remainder is then treated as a set and the range is calculated by highest - lowest. This is a commonly used method in statistical analysis, by removing the extremes it is less prone to influence by outliers and gives a good representation of the main dispersion around the median. In practise i have found it can be a good alternative to ATR, translating better across multiple time-frames due to it representing a fraction of the total range rather than an average of per-candle range like ATR. Used in combination with the others it can also add a factor more representative of longer-term/higher-timeframe trend. By discarding outliers it also benefits from not being impacted by brief pumps/volatility, instead responding only to more sustained changes in trend, such as rallies and parabolic moves. In order to give an accurate result the IQR is calculated using a dataset of high, low and hlcc4 values for all bars within the lookback length. Once calculated this value is then halved which, strictly speaking, makes it a semi-interquartile range.
All three of these components can be used individually or summed together to create a hybrid dynamics factor. Furthermore each multiplier can be set to both positive and negative values allowing for some interesting and creative possibilities. An optional smoothing filter can be applied to the sum, this is a basic SWMA-4 which is can reduce the impact of sudden changes but does incur a noticeable lag. Finally, a basic limiter condition has been hard-coded here to prevent the sum total from ever going below zero.
Capping off this section is a pair of direction multipliers. These simply take the prior dynamics sum and allow for further multiplication applied only to one side (uptrend/lo-stop and downtrend/hi-stop). To see why this is useful consider that markets often behave differently in each direction, we've all seen prices steadily climb over several weeks and then abruptly dump in the process of a day or two, shorter time frames are no stranger to this either. A lack of downside liquidity, a panicked market, aggressive shorts. All these things contribute to significant differences in downward price action. This function allows for tighter stops in one direction compared to the other to reflect this imbalance.
VISUALISATIONS
With all of these options and possibilities, some visual aids are useful. Beneath the dynamics' section are several visual options including both sources post-filter and the actual 'bands' created by the dynamics. These are what govern the stop levels and seeing them in full can help to better understand what our various configurations actually do. We can even hide the stop levels altogether and just use the bands, making this a kind of expanded Keltner Channel. Here we can also find colour and opacity settings for everything we've discussed.
EXAMPLES
The obvious first example here is the standard %-change trailing stop loss which, from my experience, tends to be the best suited for lower time frames. Filtering should probably minimal here. In both charts here we use the default config for source inputs, the top is a standard bi-directional setup with 1.5% tsl while the bottom uses a 2.5% tsl with the histop multiplier reduced to 0 resulting in an uptrend only stoploss.
Shown here in grey is the standard Supertrend which uses 'hl2' as centre and 'close' as trigger, ATR(10) multiplied by 3. On top we have the default filtered source config with ATR(8) multiplied by 2 which gives a different yet functionally similar result, below is the same source config instead using IQR(12) multiplied by 2. Notice here the more 'stepped' response from IQR following the central rally, holding back for a while before closing in on price and ultimately initiating reversal much sooner. Unlike ATR, the length parameter for IQR is absolute and can more significantly affect its responsiveness.
Next we focus on the visualisation options, on top we have the default source config with ATR(8) multiplied by 2 and IQR(12) multiplied by 1. Here we have activated the switch to show 'bands', from this we can see the actual summed dynamics and how it influences the stop levels. Below that we have an altogether different config utilising the included filters which are now visible. In this example we have created a basic 8/21 EMA cross and set a 1% TSL, notice the brief fakeout in the middle which ordinarily might indicate a buy signal. Here the TSL functions as an additional requirement which in this case is not met and thus no buy signal is given.
Finally we have a couple of more 'experimental' examples. On top we have Lazybear's 'Variable Moving Average' in white which has been assigned via 'aux' as the centre with no additional filtering, the default config for trigger is used here and a basic TSL of 1.5% added. It's a simple example but it shows how this can be applied to other indicators. At the bottom we return to the default source config, combining a TSL of 8% with IQR(24) multiplied by -2. Note here the negative IQR with greater length which causes the stop to close in on price following significant deviations while otherwise remaining fairly wide. Combining positive and negative multiples of each factor can yield mixed results, some more useful than others depending upon suitable market conditions.
Since this has been quite lengthy, i shall leave it there. Suffice to say that there are plenty more ways to use this besides these examples. Please feel free to share any of your own ideas in the comments below. Enjoy.

ProConcepts (v-1.0.2)ProConcepts is a smart moeny concepts indicator that has several primary functions and features.
BOS Feature: BOS stands for break of structure and this is used to determine market structure support and resistance breakouts. The blue and red lines plot the pivot highs and lows on every time frame. When a trend is in a single direction and BOS appears, that is a strong sign that market structure is broken and the trend will continue.
CHOCH Feature: Similar to BOS the change of character feature is also a smart money concept where in a trend, CHOCH essentially is used to help determine a change of that trend with a low being violated in an uptrend or a high being violated in a downtrend. CHOCH is what determines the high lows of the trend.
Shaded Candle Feature: The candles are shaded either red or blue based on the trend. the CHOCH as discussed previously determines the trend and shades the candles blue and red according to the highs and lows.
Sessions Shading Feature: The background shading with lower opacity indicates a sessions feature that seperates the main trading sessions of the day, London, Asia, and New York. They are color coordinated and can be changed to fit your needs as a trader.
FVG Feature: FVG stands for fair value gap which is an area on the chart where there is a single directional movement either bullish for the blue FVG and bearish for the red FVG. These fvgs are strong areas of interest for rejections of price because they are agressive movements similar to an imbalance. The FVG should be used as a retest confirmation of a trend during a breakout of the BOS or a CHOCH.
High Low Feature: Disabled on the default chart is a a high low feature that marks all of the high lows of a trend so you can identify areas of support and resistance.

coates moving averages (cma)This indicator uses three moving averages:
2 period low simple ma
2 period high simple ma
9 period least squares ma
The trend is determined by the angle of the moving averages, current close relative the the 9 least squares ma (lsm) and the current close relative to the prior two periods high and low.
When there are consecutive closes inside the prior two candles high and low then a range is signaled:
In ranges the buy zone is between the lowest low and the lowest close of the current range. The sell zone is between the highest high and the highest close. The zones are adjusted as long as the new close is within the prior two candles range:
When price closes above the 2 high ma and the 9 lsm then a bull trend is signaled if all moving averages are angled upward (as seen at #4 in the chart above and #1 the chart below ). If the 9 lsm and / or the 2 low ma continue to angle downward, following a close above the 2 high ma and 9 lsm, then a prolonged range or reversal is expected (#2 in the chart below):
During a bull trend the buy zone is between the 2 low ma and the 9 lsm. The profit target is the 2 high ma:
During dip buying opportunities price should resist closing below the 9 lsm. If there is one close below the 9 lsm then it is a canary in the coalmine that tells us to proceed with caution. This will often signal a range, based on the conditions outlined above. To avoid a prolonged range, or reversal, price needs to immediately react in the direction of the prevailing trend:
If the moving averages are angled down and the most recent close is below the 2 low ma and 9 lsm then trend is fully bearish:
During a bear trend the short zone is between the 2 high ma and 9 lsm. The profit target is the 2 low ma:
When the 2 high ma angles down and the 2 low ma angles up while price closes inside both mas then it indicates a cma squeeze:
Volatility is expected in the direction of the breakout following the squeeze. In this situation traps / shakeouts are common. If there is a wick outside the cma, with a close inside, then it indicates a trap / shakeout. If there is a close outside the 2 high / low ma then it signals a breakout.
A trend is considered balanced when the 9 lsm is roughly equidistant from the 2 low and 2 high mas. If the 9 lsm crosses the 2 high or 2 low ma then it signals exhaustion / imbalance.
For a stop loss I use the prior three periods low, for bull trends, and the prior three periods high for bear trends. I would expect other reliable stops, such as the parabolic sar or bill williams fractal, to be effective as well. The default moving averages should be very effective on all timeframes and assets classes, however this indicator was developed for bitcoin with a focus on higher timeframes such as the 4h, daily and weekly.
As with any other technical indicator there will be bad signals. Proceed with caution and never risk more than you are willing to lose.

Counters RatioCounters Ratio
This is an oscillator like indicator.
Bubbles are used to show the intensity with which buyers overtake sellers or vice-versa.
Bigger bubbles would indicate an oversold or overbought condition, when there is more imbalance between sell volume and buy volume .
They may appear sometimes on low volume - this may be a weak overbought or oversold indication.
The big bubbles that appear on significant volume could be used to find divergences with price.
Multiple instances of the indicator can be combined to get a bigger picture.
In the indicator's settings, a ratio limit can be set for the overbought or oversold condition.
Alerts for counters imbalance can be set to fire whenever the condition is satisfied.

This indicator is like a "Swiss Army Knife" for traders, combining essential tools into one package to make chart analysis faster and more efficient.
SSMT Divergence (Quarterly Theory) [TakingProphets]SSMT (Quarterly Theory)
Overview
SSMT (Sequential SMT) is an ICT-based tool designed to detect real-time intermarket divergence based on the Sequential SMT model popularized by Trader Daye and FearingICT.
It leverages Quarterly Theory, a core ICT concept, to break the trading day into time-based quarters and scans for divergences across Daily, 90-minute, and Micro-session cycles. The indicator updates continuously in real time, allowing you to spot liquidity grabs, manipulation plays, and directional imbalances the moment they occur.
Rooted in Quarterly Theory 📐
-Built on ICT’s Quarterly Theory, the model segments the trading day into predictable phases of accumulation, manipulation, and distribution.
Daily Quarters (4 per day):
Q1: 18:00 – 00:00 ET
Q2: 00:00 – 06:00 ET
Q3: 06:00 – 12:00 ET
Q4: 12:00 – 18:00 ET
-90-Minute Quarters: Splits Asia, London, NY-AM, and NY-PM into structured liquidity windows.
-Micro Quarters: Offers an even finer breakdown of each session, perfect for precision scalping.
-By aligning SMT detection with ICT’s time-based framework, this indicator delivers accurate timing context around when institutional liquidity shifts are most likely.
Real-Time SMT Detection ⚡
-Unlike static divergence tools, SSMT reacts instantly:
-Monitors your instrument and a correlated symbol tick by tick.
-Tracks current vs. previous highs/lows within the active quarter.
-Compares live price behavior against the correlated asset.
-Draws divergence lines and labels as soon as SMT forms:
-Bullish SMT → Your market forms a higher low while the correlated asset does not.
-Bearish SMT → Your market forms a lower high while the correlated asset does not.
-Divergence lines and labels update in real time, keeping your chart accurate and contextually aligned with ICT principles.
Key Features
Three SMT Cycles in One Tool
-Daily → Perfect for swing traders tracking higher-timeframe liquidity events.
-Ninety (90-Minute) → Ideal for intraday setups and session-specific SMTs.
-Micro → Highly detailed for scalpers timing manipulative sweeps.
Per-Cycle Customization
-Toggle Daily, 90-Minute, and Micro SMT independently.
-Fully customize line colors, widths, styles, and optional session boxes.
-Smart Auto-Labeling
-Labels display the correlated symbol automatically (“SMT w/ES” by default).
-Divergence lines persist historically beyond quarter boundaries for added confluence.
-Instant Style Updates
-All active and historical SMT drawings update immediately when customizing colors, widths, or line styles.
Practical Use Cases
-Scalpers → Spot micro-level SMTs for high-precision entries.

Short Description (TradingView card)
SSMT — Sequential SMT detection based on ICT principles, inspired by Trader Daye and FearingICT. Real-time divergence mapping built on Quarterly Theory, covering Daily, 90m, and Micro-session SMTs.
S&R ZonesThis indicator automatically detects swing highs and swing lows on the chart using a 3-bar swing structure. Once a swing point is confirmed, it evaluates the price movement and body size of subsequent candles. If the movement meets a volume-based range condition (2.5× the average body size of the last 5 candles), the indicator creates a zone around that swing.
Swing High Zones: Drawn from the highest price of the swing cluster down to its midpoint.
Swing Low Zones: Drawn from the lowest price of the swing cluster up to its midpoint.
These zones act as dynamic support and resistance levels and remain on the chart until they are either:
Broken (price closes beyond the zone), or
Expired (more than 200 bars old).
Zones are color-coded for clarity:
🔴 Red shaded areas = Swing High resistance zones.
🟢 Green shaded areas = Swing Low support zones.
This makes the indicator useful for identifying high-probability reversal areas, liquidity zones, and supply/demand imbalances that persist until invalidated.

High Time Frame FVG [TakingProphets]HTF FVG
The HTF FVG indicator is built for traders who want a clean, multi-timeframe view of Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) without manually flipping charts. It automatically detects unmitigated FVGs across up to five higher timeframes and overlays them directly on your active chart, keeping your execution bias aligned with higher-timeframe liquidity.
✨ What it does
📌 Multi-timeframe mapping – Detects and plots bullish/bearish FVGs across up to 5 custom HTFs + your current chart.
🧩 Auto-labeling – Each gap is tagged with its originating timeframe (e.g., M5, H1, D1).
🔄 Live updates – FVGs extend forward in time and are automatically removed once mitigated based on your plan.
🟢 Inverse FVGs (optional) – Highlight “inverse gaps” for traders who utilize them in reversal models.
🎯 Consequent Encroachment lines – Enable mid-gap CE levels for precision-based trade management.
⚡ Optimized performance – Built with array management, capped lookback periods, and per-timeframe limits for smooth charting.
🛠️ How it works
Fair Value Gaps are detected using a 3-candle structure:
Bullish FVG → the high of two candles ago is below the low of the prior candle.
Bearish FVG → the low of two candles ago is above the high of the prior candle.
For each selected timeframe:
When an FVG forms, a box is drawn from the gap boundaries and extended forward by a configurable number of bars.
If price closes into the gap on its originating timeframe, the box is automatically removed.
If Consequent Encroachment is enabled, a mid-gap line is plotted for refined targeting.
When multiple gaps exist per side, only the closest unmitigated one remains highlighted for clarity.
⚙️ Inputs & customization
Detection Sensitivity → High / Medium / Low
Lookback Period → 1 Day / 1 Week / 1 Month / Max
Extend Gaps → Add extra forward bars beyond the originating candle.
Show Consequent Encroachment → Toggle CE midlines on/off.
Show Inverse FVGs → Mark inverted gaps for advanced models.
Custom HTFs → Choose up to 5 timeframes to map onto your execution chart.
Appearance Settings → Configure colors, transparency, label size, and gap boundary styles.
📈 Practical tips
Use smaller execution timeframes (e.g., 1m–5m) and overlay multiple HTFs (e.g., M15, H1, H4, D1).
Watch for stacked HTF FVGs in the same price zone — these often create higher-probability draw areas.
Pair CE midlines with session timing, PD arrays, and liquidity concepts to refine entries.
Limit your lookback period and max stored FVGs for better performance during volatile sessions.
📌 Notes
This tool does not generate buy/sell signals. It’s a context mapping utility to help align your trading plan with higher-timeframe structure.
Weekend gaps are automatically filtered out to reduce false positives.
