Imbalance & Liquidity SweepOverview:
The Imbalance & Liquidity Sweep indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to help traders visualize potential institutional footprints in price action. It combines two key Smart Money Concepts (SMC):
Fair Value Gaps (FVG / Imbalance Zones)
Liquidity Sweeps (Stop Run Detection)
All signals are filtered using a trend bias based on a configurable EMA. This helps reduce counter-trend noise and highlights areas of potential price interest.
This script is for educational and analytical purposes only.
How It Works:
1️⃣ Trend Filter (EMA)
A configurable EMA (default 200) is used as the trend filter.
The indicator highlights bullish structures above the EMA and bearish structures below.
Optional higher timeframe EMA allows better trend alignment.
2️⃣ Imbalance / Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection
Detects gaps in a 3-candle sequence where price leaves unfilled areas.
Zones are dynamically drawn as boxes and automatically invalidated once price trades through them.
Helps traders visualize potential areas of price reaction.
3️⃣ Liquidity Sweep Detection
Monitors swing highs and lows over a user-defined lookback period.
A "sweep" occurs when price briefly pierces these levels but closes back inside, suggesting a potential stop-loss run.
Bullish sweeps occur above swing lows in an uptrend; bearish sweeps occur below swing highs in a downtrend.
4️⃣ Auto-Invalidation
FVG zones dynamically close when filled by price.
Keeps charts clean and relevant for intraday analysis.
How to Use:
Observe a liquidity sweep label near recent highs/lows.
Confirm alignment with EMA trend filter (green = uptrend, red = downtrend).
Monitor nearby FVG boxes as potential areas of interest for price interaction.
Note: This indicator does not provide buy or sell signals. It only provides visual decision-support.
This indicator does not repaint.

[TehThomas] - ICT Volume ImbalanceThis script is a Volume Imbalance (VI) detector and visualizer for use on the TradingView platform. The goal of the script is to automatically identify areas where there are significant imbalances in the volume of trades between consecutive candlesticks and visually highlight these areas. These imbalances can provide traders with valuable insights about the market’s current condition, often signaling potential reversal or continuation points based on price and volume action.
ICT (Inner Circle Trader) Concept of Volume Imbalances
Volume imbalances are a critical concept in the ICT trading methodology. They refer to situations where there is an unusual or significant difference in volume between two consecutive candlesticks, which might indicate institutional or large player activity. According to ICT principles, these imbalances can show us areas of market inefficiency or potential price manipulation. By identifying these imbalances, traders can gain an edge in understanding where the market is likely to move next.
Bullish and Bearish Volume Imbalances:
Bullish Volume Imbalance: This occurs when there is a strong increase in buying pressure, typically indicated by a higher volume on a candle that closes significantly above the previous one, often leaving a gap or larger price movement. The market could be preparing to push higher, and the volume shows a clear shift in buying demand.
Bearish Volume Imbalance:
Conversely, a bearish imbalance occurs when there is a strong increase in selling pressure, typically signaled by a candle that closes significantly lower than the previous one, again with higher volume. This could indicate that large players are offloading positions, and the price is likely to drop further.
Key Features and Functions of the Script
The script automates the process of detecting these volume imbalances and visually marking them on a price chart. Let’s explore its functionality in detail.
1. Inputs Section
The script allows for significant customization through its input options, which help traders adjust the detection and visualization of volume imbalances based on their individual preferences and trading style. Below are the details:
lookback (250 bars): This input specifies the number of bars (or candles) the script should look back when analyzing the volume imbalance. By setting this to 250, the user is looking at the last 250 bars on the chart to detect any significant volume imbalances. This period is adjustable between 50 to 500 bars.
volumeThreshold (1.0 multiplier): This input helps set the sensitivity for identifying volume imbalances. The script compares the volume of the current candle with the previous one, and if the current volume exceeds the previous volume by this threshold multiplier (in this case, 1.0 means at least equal to the previous volume), then it triggers an imbalance. Users can adjust the multiplier to suit different market conditions.
showBoxes (true/false): This toggle determines whether the boxes representing volume imbalances are drawn on the chart. When enabled, the script visually highlights the imbalances with colored boxes.
fillBaseColor (orange with 80% opacity): This is the color setting for the background of the imbalance boxes. A softer color (like orange with opacity) ensures the imbalance is highlighted without obscuring the price action.
borderColor (gray): The color of the border around the imbalance boxes. This adds a visual distinction to make the imbalance areas more visible.
borderWidth (1 pixel): This controls the width of the box's border to adjust how prominent it appears.
rightOffset (30 bars): This input controls how far the imbalance box extends to the right on the chart. It helps users anticipate the potential continuation of the imbalance beyond the current candle.
allowWickOverlap (true/false): This setting allows imbalances to be identified even if the wicks of the two consecutive candlesticks overlap. If set to false, only imbalances where the bodies of the candlesticks don’t overlap are considered.
showBrokenBoxes (true/false): If enabled, once a volume imbalance no longer holds true (i.e., the price breaks through the box), the box is marked as "broken." If disabled, the box is deleted when the imbalance condition no longer applies.
brokenBoxColor (red): This controls the color of the box when it is broken, which can be used as a visual cue that the imbalance was invalidated or no longer valid for analysis.
2. Volume Imbalance Function
This is the core function of the script, where the logic to detect bullish and bearish volume imbalances is implemented.
Bullish Imbalance Condition:
The first condition checks if the low of the current candle is greater than the high of the previous candle. This suggests that the market is moving upward with buying pressure.
The second condition checks whether the volume of the current candle is higher than the previous candle by the volumeThreshold multiplier. If both conditions are satisfied, a bullish imbalance is detected.
Bearish Imbalance Condition:
The first condition checks if the high of the current candle is lower than the low of the previous candle. This suggests downward price action with selling pressure.
The second condition checks whether the current volume exceeds the previous volume by the threshold
Allow Wick Overlap: If allowWickOverlap is set to true, the script will still detect imbalances if the wicks of the two candles overlap (common in volatile markets). If false, imbalances are only considered if the wicks do not overlap.
3. Box Creation and Management
When a volume imbalance is detected, the script creates a box on the chart:
The bullish imbalance box is drawn using the minimum of the open and close of the current bar as the top boundary and the maximum of the open and close of the previous bar as the bottom boundary.
Conversely, the bearish imbalance box is drawn in reverse, using the maximum of the current bar’s open and close as the top boundary and the minimum of the previous bar’s open and close as the bottom boundary.
Once the box is created, it is displayed on the chart with the specified background color, border color, and width.
4. Processing Existing Boxes
After detecting a new imbalance and drawing a box, the script checks whether the box should still remain on the chart:
If the price moves beyond the boundaries of the imbalance box, the box is marked as broken (if showBrokenBoxes is enabled), and its color is changed to red, signifying that the imbalance is no longer valid.
If the box remains intact (i.e., the price has not broken the defined boundaries), the script keeps the box extended to the right as the market continues to evolve.
5. Removing Outdated Boxes
Lastly, the script removes boxes that are older than the specified lookback period. For example, if a box was created 250 bars ago, it will be deleted after that period. This ensures the chart stays clean and only focuses on relevant imbalances.
Why This Script is Useful for Traders
This script is extremely valuable for traders, especially those following the ICT methodology, because it automates the process of detecting market inefficiencies or imbalances that might signal future price action. Here’s why it’s particularly useful:
Identifying Key Areas of Interest: Volume imbalances often point to areas where institutional or large-scale traders have entered the market. These areas could provide clues about the next significant move in the market.
Visualizing Market Structure: By automatically drawing boxes around volume imbalances, the script helps traders visually identify potential areas of support, resistance, or turning points, enabling them to make informed trading decisions.
Time Efficiency: Instead of manually analyzing each candlestick and volume spike, this script does the heavy lifting, saving traders valuable time and allowing them to focus on other aspects of their strategy.
Enhanced Trade Entries and Exits: By understanding where volume imbalances are occurring, traders can time their entries (buying during bullish imbalances and selling during bearish ones) and exits (as imbalances break) more effectively, thus improving their chances of success.
Conclusion
In summary, this script is a powerful tool for traders looking to implement volume imbalance strategies based on the ICT methodology. It automates the identification and visualization of significant imbalances in price and volume, offering traders a clear visual representation of potential market turning points. By customizing the settings, traders can tailor the script to their preferred timeframes and sensitivity, making it a flexible and effective tool for any trading strategy.

Uptrick: Imbalance MA Trailing System
### **Overview**
The "Uptrick: Imbalance MA Trailing System" is a complex trading indicator designed to help traders identify potential bullish and bearish imbalances in the market, coupled with a trailing stop mechanism to manage trades. The indicator uses a combination of moving averages, Average True Range (ATR), and custom logic to detect trading signals and plot various levels on the chart to assist traders in making informed decisions.
### **Key Components and Functionality**
#### 1. **Inputs and Configuration**
- **Imbalance Filter (`imbalanceFilter`)**: This input sets the filter for detecting imbalances based on the difference between two price points. The value is a float and can be adjusted to fine-tune the sensitivity of imbalance detection. The default value is `0.0`, with a step size of `0.1`.
- **Moving Average Settings (`maLength1`, `maLength2`, `maColor1`, `maColor2`)**:
- `maLength1` and `maLength2` define the lengths of the two moving averages used in the indicator. By default, they are set to `50` and `200` periods, respectively.
- `maColor1` and `maColor2` specify the colors of these moving averages on the chart. The first MA is colored blue, and the second is red.
- **Take Profit and Stop Loss Settings (`displayTP`, `tpMultiplier`, `tpColor`, `displaySL`, `slMultiplier`, `slColor`)**:
- `displayTP` and `displaySL` are boolean inputs that control whether the TP and SL areas are displayed on the chart.
- `tpMultiplier` and `slMultiplier` are multipliers used to calculate the TP and SL levels relative to the detected imbalance level using the ATR value.
- `tpColor` and `slColor` define the colors of these areas. The TP area is green (with a transparency of 50), and the SL area is red (with a transparency of 50).
- **Trailing Stop Settings (`trailMultiplier`)**: This setting determines the multiplier used to calculate the trailing stop level based on the ATR value. The default multiplier is `2.5`.
- **Style Settings (`bullishColor`, `bearishColor`)**:
- `bullishColor` and `bearishColor` set the colors for bullish and bearish zones created when an imbalance is detected. The bullish zone is green, and the bearish zone is red.
- **Signal Label Size (`labelSizeOption`)**: The size of the signal labels displayed on the chart can be adjusted. The options include `Tiny`, `Small`, `Normal`, `Large`, and `Huge`. The selected size affects the visual prominence of the labels.
#### 2. **ATR Calculation (`atrValue`)**
- The ATR value is calculated using a period of 14, which is a standard setting for measuring market volatility. This value is used extensively throughout the indicator to calculate TP, SL, and trailing stop levels.
#### 3. **Imbalance Detection and Zone Creation**
- The indicator detects potential imbalances in the market by comparing certain price points, using a custom function (`imbalanceCondition`).
- **Bullish Imbalance Detection (`bullishSignal`)**:
- A bullish imbalance is detected when the low of three bars ago is higher than the high of one bar ago, and the current close is above the low of three bars ago.
- Additional conditions include checking that the current close is above the calculated average of the two moving averages (`ma1` and `ma2`), and that the imbalance exceeds the threshold set by the `imbalanceFilter`.
- **Bearish Imbalance Detection (`bearishSignal`)**:
- A bearish imbalance is detected under conditions where the low of one bar ago is higher than the high of three bars ago, and the current close is below the high of three bars ago.
- Like the bullish signal, the close must also be below the average of the two moving averages, and the imbalance must exceed the `imbalanceFilter` threshold.
- Upon detection of an imbalance (either bullish or bearish), the indicator creates a zone using `box.new` that highlights the price range of the imbalance. The box color corresponds to the bullish or bearish nature of the signal.
- The center of the imbalance range is marked with a dashed line, and a corresponding label (`🔴` for bearish and `🟢` for bullish) is placed on the chart to indicate the detected signal.
#### 4. **Take Profit and Stop Loss Calculation (`calculateTPSL`)**
- When an imbalance is detected, the indicator calculates potential TP and SL levels based on the ATR value and the respective multipliers.
- If the TP or SL areas are enabled, the indicator plots these areas as colored boxes on the chart.
- The function also tracks whether these levels are hit by subsequent price action, updating the status (`reached`) as appropriate.
#### 5. **Trailing Stop Logic (`applyTrailingStop`)**
- The trailing stop feature is a dynamic mechanism that adjusts the stop level as the price moves in the trader's favor.
- The trailing stop is calculated using the ATR value multiplied by the `trailMultiplier`.
- If the trailing stop is triggered (i.e., the price crosses the trailing stop level), the indicator marks the trade as stopped out.
#### 6. **Plotting and Visualization**
- The indicator plots the two moving averages on the chart with the specified colors and line width.
- If a trailing stop is active, it plots the trailing stop level on the chart, updating as the stop moves.
- The bar color changes based on the status of the current signal and whether the trailing stop or TP/SL levels have been hit.
### **Detailed Execution Flow**
1. **Initialization**: The indicator initializes several variables, including lines, boxes, and the current signal state. This setup ensures that the script can dynamically update these elements as new price data comes in.
2. **Moving Average Calculation**: The moving averages (`ma1` and `ma2`) are calculated using simple moving average (SMA) functions, which are foundational for many of the indicator's conditions.
3. **Imbalance Detection**: The script evaluates price action to detect potential bullish or bearish imbalances, applying filters based on the user-defined `imbalanceFilter`.
4. **Zone Creation and Labeling**: Upon detecting an imbalance, the script creates visual zones on the chart using the `box.new` function and labels the zones for easy identification.
5. **Take Profit and Stop Loss Logic**: The TP and SL areas are calculated and plotted if the relevant settings are enabled. The script continuously checks if these levels are reached as new bars form.
6. **Trailing Stop Calculation**: The script dynamically adjusts the trailing stop level based on the price movement and ATR value. The trailing stop helps lock in profits as the trade progresses.
7. **Plotting**: The moving averages, trailing stop levels, and bar colors are plotted on the chart, providing a visual representation of the indicator's signals and trade management levels.
8. **Final Checks and Updates**: The script concludes each bar's processing by updating the status of various elements, such as whether levels have been reached or if the trailing stop has been triggered.
### **Conclusion**
The "Uptrick: Imbalance MA Trailing System" is a highly versatile indicator designed for traders who want to identify market imbalances and manage their trades effectively using a combination of moving averages, ATR-based calculations, and custom logic. The indicator offers a wide range of customization options, allowing traders to adjust the sensitivity of imbalance detection, the size of the signal labels, and the visibility of various trade management levels (TP, SL, and trailing stop).
The combination of these features makes it a powerful tool for both novice and experienced traders, providing clear visual cues and robust trade management capabilities directly on the chart.
X FP Imbalancesprovides advanced volume profile analysis by isolating and visualizing market aggression at a granular price level. It is a powerful tool for short-term and intraday traders seeking objective confirmation of supply and demand dynamics, primarily used to identify high-probability reversal or continuation points based on order flow principles.
Key Functionality and Methodology
The indicator operates by transforming standard time-based candle data into a Volume-at-Price footprint, focusing specifically on aggressive market activity.
Granular Aggression Measurement (Delta)
The script dynamically segments the price range into discrete price levels (tickAmount). This granularity is controlled either by a user-defined fixed tick count or automatically adjusted using the Average True Range (ATR) to adapt the box size to current market volatility.
The script uses lower timeframe data (e.g., 1-minute bars) to accurately distribute the total volume into each price level, distinguishing between aggressive buying (Up Volume) and aggressive selling (Down Volume).
The core output is Delta, which is the net difference between aggressive buying and aggressive selling at each price level.
Stacked Imbalance Identification
The indicator identifies an imbalance when the volume from one side (e.g., aggressive buyers) overwhelms the total volume at that level by a user-defined percentage (imbalanceP).
A single price level where the Delta percentage exceeds the threshold is defined as an Imbalance.
The Stacked Imbalance is the primary signal, triggered when the imbalance is detected on a user-defined number of consecutive price levels (stacked) in the same direction (e.g., 3 consecutive levels of aggressive buying). This signals a high-conviction structural break or strong rejection.
Stacked imbalances are visually highlighted and can trigger real-time alerts upon bar close.
Strategic Applications
This indicator is invaluable for traders who integrate order flow concepts into their decision-making process.
One-Sided Stack (Supply/Demand Zone): Aggressive selling (Red Stack) at a high price, followed by price reversal, identifies a Structural Supply Zone (Resistance). The level is where sellers aggressively rejected demand, leaving an untested area of supply.
Overlapping Stacks (Climax Reversal): Consecutive Buy Stacks followed immediately by Sell Stacks in a tight range signals Buyer Exhaustion and an immediate Climax Reversal. The buying power was absorbed and instantly overwhelmed by waiting supply.
Absence of Stack: When price moves sharply through a level without creating any Stacked Imbalances, it suggests an Orderly Move or Liquidity Void. The absence of resistance means the market move is structurally weak and often vulnerable to a retest.
The choice between a Fixed Tick Distance (for micro-pattern precision) and ATR-based sizing (for volatility-adjusted analysis) allows the user to tailor the indicator to specific asset classes and trading styles.
Fair Value Gap Absorption Indicator [LuxAlgo]The Fair Value Gap Absorption Indicator aims to detect fair value gap imbalances and tracks the mitigation status of the detected fair value gap by highlighting the mitigation level till a new fair value gap is detected.
The Fair Value Gap (FVG) is a widely utilized tool among price action traders to detect market inefficiencies or imbalances. These imbalances arise when buying or selling pressure is significant, resulting in a large upward or downward move, leaving behind an imbalance in the market.
🔶 USAGE
A fair value gap appears in a triple-candle pattern when there is a large candle whose previous candle’s high and subsequent candle’s low do not fully overlap the large candle. The space between these wicks is known as the fair value gap.
Price can come back to these imbalance areas and mitigate them, however, this is sometimes a process involving multiple bars, the displayed imbalances by the indicator allow tracking the current mitigation level of a displayed imbalance.
Fair value gaps can become a magnet for the price before continuing in the same direction. Traders commonly wait for the price to revert toward the fair value gap to clear out the imbalance before continuing to move toward the prevailing trend.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹Fair Value Gaps
Fair Value Gap Width Filter: defines the filtering multiplier, please refer to the tooltip of the input option for further details.

Liquidity-Voids-FVG
ICT First Presented FVG with Volume Imbalance [1st P. FVG + VI]The indicator identifies and highlights the first presented Fair Value Gap (FVG) occurringthe morning (09:30–10:00) and afternoon (13:30–14:00) session's first 30 minutes. It includes an optional feature to extend FVG zones when a volume imbalance (V.I.) is detected, providing additional context for areas of potential price inefficiency. This powerful combination helps traders identify significant market structure gaps that often act as support/resistance zones and potential price targets.
What is an FVG?
A Fair Value Gap, often abbreviated as FVG, is a price range on a chart where there is an inefficiency or imbalance in trading. This typically happens when price moves rapidly in one direction, leaving a gap between the wicks or bodies of three consecutive candles. For example, in a bullish move, if the low of the third candle is higher than the high of the first candle, the space between them is the FVG.
What is a Volume Imbalance?
A volume imbalance is a smaller, more precise inefficiency within price action, often visible as a "crack" or thin area in the price delivery. It represents a spot where the volume traded was not balanced between buyers and sellers, often seen as a thin wick or a gap between candle bodies.
FVG + Volume Imbalance:
When you have a fair value gap that contains a volume imbalance, it becomes a more significant area of interest. ICT teaches that you should not ignore a volume imbalance if it’s part of an FVG. In fact, you should use the volume imbalance in conjunction with the FVG to define your trading range more accurately

Temporary imbalances 2.0 This indicator attempts to calculate potential points of imbalance and equilibrium based on VWAPs and modified moving averages. The idea is to determine if there has been a change in volume and perform the calculation from that point It uses the standard deviation to determine the significant imbalance threshold. Candles with bullish imbalances are highlighted in green, while candles with bearish imbalances are highlighted in red.
"It also features a set of VWAPs and modified moving averages that you can enable or disable."
When you activate the 'Show Anchor VWAP' option, it will add five modified VWAPs.
Practical Significance:
The Anchored VWAP is a volume-weighted average price that serves as a dynamic reference to assess the average price during specific moments of market imbalance.
During a bullish imbalance, the anchor_vwap reflects the VWAP at that moment, emphasizing price behavior during that specific period.
Similarly, in a bearish imbalance, the anchor_vwap provides the associated VWAP for that condition, highlighting price movements during the imbalance phase.
How to Use:
The anchor_vwap can be employed to contextualize the volume-weighted average price during critical moments associated with significant changes in market imbalance.
By analyzing price behavior during and after periods of imbalance, the Anchored VWAP can help better understand market dynamics and identify potential areas of support or resistance.
Show VWAP Percent Imbalance"
Definition: Represents the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) adjusted by the volume-weighted average of the price multiplied by volume, with a focus on conditions where the percentage volume variation surpasses a predefined threshold.
Calculation: Utilizes the simple moving average weighted of the product of the volume-weighted average price and volume only when the percentage volume variation exceeds a specific threshold.
Interpretation: Provides insight into the volume-weighted price trend during conditions where the percentage volume variation exceeds a predefined limit.
The "showDeltaVWAP" is a toggleable setting that you can turn on or off. When activated, it displays special lines on the chart. Let's understand what these lines represent:
Delta Anchor VWAP:
A green line (Delta Anchor VWAP) represents a measure of market volume imbalance.
Delta2 Anchor VWAP:
A red line (Delta2 Anchor VWAP) shows another perspective of volume imbalance.
VWAP Delta Volume:
A light blue line (VWAP Delta Volume) displays a volume-weighted average of price.
VWAP Delta Volume2:
An orange line (VWAP Delta Volume2) shows another view of the volume-weighted average of price.
Delta3 Anchor VWAP:
A light blue line (Delta3 Anchor VWAP) represents a combination of the previous measures.
Delta4 Anchor VWAP:
A purple line (Delta4 Anchor VWAP) is another combination, providing an overall view.
These lines are based on different conditions and calculations related to trading volume. When you activate "showDeltaVWAP," these lines appear on the chart, aiding in better understanding market behavior.
"Show Faster Volatility" is an option that you can enable or disable. When activated (set to true), it displays special lines on the chart called "Faster Volatility VWAP," "Faster Volatility VWAP2," and "Faster Volatility VWAP3." Let's understand what these lines represent:
Faster Volatility VWAP:
A purple line (Faster Volatility VWAP) is a Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) that is calculated more quickly based on short-term price reversal patterns.
Faster Volatility VWAP2:
A light gray line (Faster Volatility VWAP2) is another Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) that is calculated even more quickly based on even shorter-term price reversal patterns.
Faster Volatility VWAP3:
A purple line (Faster Volatility VWAP3) is another Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) calculated rapidly based on even shorter-term price reversal patterns.
These lines are designed to indicate moments of possible exhaustion of volatility in the market, suggesting that there may be a subsequent increase in volatility. When you activate "Show Faster Volatility," these lines are displayed on the chart.
"Show Average VWAPs Imbalance" displays weighted averages of different Volume Weighted Average Prices (VWAPs) in relation to specific market conditions. Here's an explanation of each component:
Standard VWAP:
The blue line represents the standard VWAP, a volume-weighted average of asset prices over a specific period.
VWAP with Added Imbalance (avg_vwap2):
The pink line is a weighted average that adds an imbalance value to the standard VWAP. This component highlights periods of market imbalance.
VWAP with Balance (avg_vwap3):
The lilac line is a weighted average that adds balance based on the imbalance between uptrend and downtrend, reflecting changes in volume. This provides insights into supply and demand dynamics.
Overall Average of VWAPs (avg_vwaptl):
The violet line is a weighted average that incorporates both standard and adjusted VWAPs, offering an overview of market behavior under different considered conditions.
Visual Customization (Show Average VWAPs Imbalance):
Users have the option to show or hide these average lines on the chart, allowing for a clear visualization of market trends.
"Show Min Variation VWAP" is associated with the calculation and display of a smoothed version of the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP), taking into account the minimum price variation over a specific period.
"How Imbalance Anchor VWAP Calculated as the smoothed relationship between liquidity difference and maximum VWAP equilibrium" is associated with the calculation and display of a smoothed version of the Imbalance Anchor VWAP. Here is a detailed explanation:
Calculations and Smoothing:
The variable "smoothed_difference" represents the exponential moving average (EMA) of the difference between two variables related to liquidity.
"smoothed_difference2" is the division of "smoothed_difference" by the maximum variation of the VWAP Equilibrium.
"smoothed_difference3" involves additional manipulation of "smoothed_difference" and "vwap_delta3."
"smoothed_difference4" incorporates the previous results, adjusted by the value of the VWAP.

Engulfing and ATR-Imbalance [odnac]This Pine Script indicator combines two powerful concepts—Engulfing Candlestick Patterns and ATR Imbalance—to identify potential market reversal points with increased precision.
Engulfing Candlestick Patterns:
Bullish Engulfing: Identified when a candle closes higher than it opens, and it completely engulfs the previous candle (previous close is lower than the current open, and previous high is lower than the current close).
Bearish Engulfing: Identified when a candle closes lower than it opens, and it completely engulfs the previous candle (previous close is higher than the current open, and previous low is higher than the current close).
Bar Coloring: These patterns are highlighted with a customizable color (light gray by default) to make them easily identifiable.
ATR-Based Imbalance:
The Average True Range (ATR) is used to measure market volatility, and this script checks if the current candle’s range (difference between high and low) exceeds a defined multiple of the ATR, indicating a possible imbalance.
Imbalance Detection: If the current candle’s range is greater than ATR * imbalance multiplier (default multiplier: 1.5), it is marked as an ATR imbalance.
Bar Coloring: Candles with a significant imbalance (greater range than the ATR-based threshold) are highlighted in yellow, indicating an outlier or extreme price movement.
Engulfing + ATR Imbalance:
When both a Bullish Engulfing pattern and an ATR Imbalance are detected, a green triangle up is plotted below the bar, signaling a potential bullish reversal.
Conversely, when both a Bearish Engulfing pattern and an ATR Imbalance occur, a red triangle down is plotted above the bar, signaling a potential bearish reversal.
User Inputs:
Engulfing Plot: Enable or disable the plotting of Engulfing Candles.
ATR Length: Set the period used to calculate the ATR (default is 5).
Imbalance Multiplier: Adjust the multiplier to define the threshold for ATR imbalance detection (default is 1.5).
Bar Colors: Customizable color for both Engulfing candles and Imbalance candles.
Engulfing & Imbalance Plot: Enable or disable plotting of the combined conditions (Engulfing + ATR Imbalance) with arrows.
How This Indicator Helps:
By combining price action patterns with volatility analysis, this indicator highlights high-probability reversal points where significant price movement (imbalance) coincides with a clear Engulfing pattern. Traders can use these signals to time entries or exits based on both price action and market volatility.
Volume Flow Anatomy [Kodexius]Volume Flow Anatomy is a dynamic, multi-dimensional volume map that reconstructs how buy, sell, and “stealth” activity is distributed across price rather than just across time. Instead of relying on a static, session-based volume profile, it uses an exponentially decaying memory of recent bars to build a constantly evolving “anatomy” of the auction, where each price level carries an adaptive history of order flow.
The script separates buy vs. sell pressure, adds a third “Stealth Flow” dimension for low-volume price movement (ease of movement / divergence), and automatically derives POC, Value Area, imbalances, absorption zones, and classic profile shapes (D, P, b, B). This gives the trader a compact but highly information-dense map on the right side of the chart to read control (buyers vs. sellers), structure (balanced vs. trending vs. double distribution), and key reaction levels (support/resistance born from flow, not just wicks).
🔹 Features
🔸 Dynamic Lookback with Decay
- The script computes an effective lookback N from the Decay Factor and caps it with Max Lookback.
- Higher decay keeps more history; lower decay emphasizes the most recent flow.
- The profile continuously adapts as new bars are printed.
🔸 Price-Bucketed Flow Map
Each bucket accumulates:
- Sell Flow (sell pressure)
- Buy Flow (buy pressure)
- Stealth Flow (low-volume price movement)
- Box width at each bucket is proportional to the relative intensity of that component.
🔸 Stealth Flow (Low-Volume Price Movement)
- Measures close to close movement relative to volume, emphasizing price movement that occurs on comparatively low volume.
- Helps reveal hidden participation, inefficient moves, and areas that may be vulnerable to re-tests or reversions.
🔸 POC & 70% Value Area (VA)
- Identifies the Point of Control (price bucket with the highest total volume) over the effective lookback.
- Builds a 70% Value Area by expanding from POC towards the nearest high volume neighbors until 70% of the total volume is included.
- POC is drawn as a line over the analyzed range; VA is displayed as a shaded band in the profile area.
🔸 Market Profile Shape Detection
Splits the profile vertically into three zones (bottom / middle / top) and compares their volume distribution.
Classifies structure as:
- D-Shape (Balanced)
- P-Shape (Short Covering)
- b-Shape (Long Liquidation)
- B-Shape (Double Distribution)
Displays a shape label with color coded bias for quick auction context interpretation.
🔸 Imbalance Zones & Absorption
Imbalance: detects buckets where Buy Flow or Sell Flow exceeds the opposite side by at least Imbalance Ratio.
Absorption: flags zones with high volume but low price “ease”, where price is not moving much despite significant volume.
Extends these levels into horizontal zones, marking potential support/resistance and trap areas.

🔸 Range Context & On-Chart Legend
Draws a Range Box covering the dynamically determined lookback (N bars), with a label displaying the effective bar count.
A bottom-right legend summarizes:
- Color keys for Buy / Sell / Stealth
- POC / VA status
- Bullish vs. Bearish dominance percentage

🔹 Calculations
1. Dynamic Lookback & Price Buckets
int N = math.min(int(4 / (1 - decayFactor) - 1), maxHistory)
float priceHigh = ta.highest(high, N)
float priceLow = ta.lowest(low, N)
float bucketSize = (priceHigh - priceLow) / bucketCount
The effective lookback N is derived from the Decay Factor, using the approximation 4 / (1 - decay) to capture roughly 99% of the decayed influence, then capped with maxHistory to control performance. Over that adaptive range, the script finds the highest and lowest prices and divides the band into bucketCount equal slices (bucketSize). Each slice is a price bucket that will accumulate volume-flow information.
2. Exponentially Decayed Volume Allocation
addValue(array profile, float weight, float minPrice, float maxPrice) =>
for j = 0 to bucketCount - 1
float bucketMin = priceLow + j * bucketSize
float bucketMax = bucketMin + bucketSize
float overlapMin = math.max(minPrice, bucketMin)
float overlapMax = math.min(maxPrice, bucketMax)
float overlapRange = overlapMax - overlapMin
if overlapRange > 0
profile.set(j, profile.get(j) * decayFactor + weight * overlapRange)
This function is the core engine of the indicator. For a given price span and intensity, it checks every bucket for overlap, distributes the weight proportionally to the overlapping range, and before adding new value, decays the existing bucket content by decayFactor. This results in an exponentially weighted profile: recent activity dominates, while older levels retain a gradually fading footprint.
3. POC and 70% Value Area
array totalProfile = array.new(bucketCount, 0)
for j = 0 to bucketCount - 1
float total = sellProfile.get(j) + buyProfile.get(j)
totalProfile.set(j, total)
if total > eaMax
eaMax := total
int pocIdx = 0
float pocVal = 0.0
for j = 0 to bucketCount - 1
if totalProfile.get(j) > pocVal
pocVal := totalProfile.get(j)
pocIdx := j
float totalSum = totalProfile.sum()
float targetSum = totalSum * 0.70
int vaLow = pocIdx
int vaHigh = pocIdx
float currentSum = pocVal
while currentSum < targetSum and (vaLow > 0 or vaHigh < bucketCount - 1)
float lowVal = vaLow > 0 ? totalProfile.get(vaLow - 1) : 0.0
float highVal = vaHigh < bucketCount - 1 ? totalProfile.get(vaHigh + 1) : 0.0
First, totalProfile is built as the sum of buy and sell flow per bucket, and eaMax (the maximum total) is tracked for later normalization. The POC bucket (pocIdx) is simply the index with the highest totalProfile value.
To compute the 70% Value Area, the algorithm starts at the POC bucket and expands outward, each step adding either the upper or lower neighbor depending on which has more volume. This continues until the cumulative volume reaches 70% of totalSum. The result is a volume-driven VA, not necessarily symmetric around POC, which more accurately represents where the market has truly traded.
4. Market Profile Shape Classification
float volTopThird = 0.0
float volMidThird = 0.0
float volBotThird = 0.0
int thirdIdx = int(bucketCount / 3)
for j = 0 to bucketCount - 1
float val = totalProfile.get(j)
if j < thirdIdx
volBotThird += val
else if j < thirdIdx * 2
volMidThird += val
else
volTopThird += val
float totalVolShape = totalProfile.sum()
string shapeStr = "D-Shape (Balanced)"
if (volTopThird > totalVolShape * 0.20) and (volBotThird > totalVolShape * 0.20) and (volMidThird < totalVolShape * 0.50)
shapeStr := "B-Shape (Double Dist)"
else
if pocIdx > bucketCount * 0.5 and volTopThird > volBotThird * 1.3
shapeStr := "P-Shape (Short Covering)"
else if pocIdx < bucketCount * 0.5 and volBotThird > volTopThird * 1.3
shapeStr := "b-Shape (Long Liquidation)"
else
shapeStr := "D-Shape (Balanced)"
The profile is split into bottom, middle, and top thirds. The script compares how much volume is concentrated in each and combines that with the relative location of POC. If both extremes are heavy and the middle light, it labels a B-Shape (double distribution). If the POC is high and the top dominates the bottom, it’s a P-Shape (short covering). If the POC is low and the bottom dominates, it’s a b-Shape (long liquidation). Otherwise, it defaults to a D-Shape (balanced). This provides a quick, at-a-glance assessment of auction structure.
5. Imbalances, Absorption & Zones
bool isBuyImb = showImb and sVal > 0 and (bVal / sVal >= imbRatio)
bool isSellImb = showImb and bVal > 0 and (sVal / bVal >= imbRatio)
float volRatio = eaMax > 0 ? tVal / eaMax : 0
float stRatio = esmRange > 0 ? (stVal - esmMin) / esmRange : 1.0
bool isAbsorp = showAbsorp and volRatio > 0.6 and stRatio < 0.25
if showImbZone
if isSellImb
zoneBoxes.push(box.new(bar_index - N + 1, bucketHi, bar_index + 1, bucketLo, ...))
if isBuyImb
zoneBoxes.push(box.new(bar_index - N + 1, bucketHi, bar_index + 1, bucketLo, ...))
if isAbsorp
zoneBoxes.push(box.new(bar_index - N + 1, bucketHi, bar_index + 1, bucketLo, ...))
Imbalances are identified where one side’s volume (buy or sell) exceeds the other by at least Imbalance Ratio. These buckets are marked as buy or sell imbalance zones, indicating aggressive participation from one side.
Absorption is detected by combining a high volume ratio (volRatio) with a low normalized stealth ratio (stRatio). High volume with limited price movement suggests that opposing orders are absorbing flow at that level. Both imbalance and absorption buckets are extended into horizontal zones from the start of the lookback to the current bar, visually emphasizing key support/resistance and liquidity areas.
6. Building Buy, Sell & Stealth Profiles
sellProfile := array.new(bucketCount, 0)
buyProfile := array.new(bucketCount, 0)
stealthProfile := array.new(bucketCount, 0)
Three arrays are used to store Sell Flow, Buy Flow, and Stealth Flow. Bars are processed from oldest to newest so that decay is applied in correct chronological order. For each bar, a volume density (volume / range) is calculated and distributed across the candle range. Bull candles feed buyProfile, bear candles feed sellProfile.
Stealth Flow computes the close-to-close move between consecutive bars, scaled by 1 / (1 + volume). Big moves on low volume produce high stealth values, which are then allocated across the move’s price span into stealthProfile. This yields a three-layer profile per price level: directional volume and stealthy price movement.
Implied Orderblock Breaker (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Implied Order Block Breaker (Zeiierman) is a tool designed to identify enhanced order blocks with imbalances. These enhanced order blocks represent areas where there is a rapid price movement. Essentially, this indicator uses order blocks and suggests that a swift price movement away from these levels, breaking the current market structure, could indicate an area that the market has not correctly valued. This technique offers traders a unique method to identify potential market inefficiencies and imbalances, serving as a guide for potential price revisits.
The indicator doesn't scan for imbalances in the traditional sense — where there's an absence of trades between two price levels — but instead, it identifies quick movements away from key levels that suggest where an imbalance might exist. Relying on crossovers and cross-unders in conjunction with pivot points and examining the high/low within the same period provides an innovative method for traders to spot these potentially undervalued or overvalued areas in the market. These inferred imbalances can be crucial for traders looking for price levels where the market might make significant moves.
█ How It Works
Bullish
Crossover: The closing price of a bar crosses above a pivot high, which is an indication that buyers are in control and pushing the price upwards.
New Low Within Period: There is a lower low within the same period as the pivot high. This suggests that after setting a high, the market pulled back to set a new low, potentially leaving a price gap on the way up as the price quickly recovers.
Bearish
Crossunder: The closing price of a bar crosses under a pivot low, indicating that sellers are taking control and driving the price down.
New High Within Period: There is a higher high within the same period as the pivot low. This condition suggests that the market rallied to a new high before falling back below the pivot low, potentially leaving a gap on the way down.
█ How to Use
The enhanced order blocks are often revisited, and the price may aim to 'fill' the potential imbalance created by the rapid price movement, thereby presenting traders with potential entry or exit points. This approach aligns with the idea that imbalances are frequently revisited by the market, and when combined with the context of Order Blocks, it provides even more confluence.
Example
Here, if the price drops rapidly after setting a new high—crossing under the pivot low—it may skip over certain price levels, creating a 'gap' that signifies an area where the price might have been overvalued (imbalance), which the market may revisit for a potential price correction or revaluation.
█ Settings
Period: Determines the number of bars used for identifying pivot highs and lows. A higher value gives more significant but less frequent signals, while a lower value increases sensitivity but might give more false positives.
Pivot Surrounding: Specifies the number of candles to analyze around a pivot point. Increasing this value broadens the analysis range, potentially capturing more setups but possibly including less significant ones.

Smarter Money Concepts - FVGs [PhenLabs]📊 Smarter Money Concepts - FVGs
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
Smarter Money Concepts - FVGs is a sophisticated indicator designed to identify and track Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) in price action. These gaps represent market inefficiencies where price moves quickly, creating imbalances that often attract subsequent price action for mitigation. By highlighting these key areas, traders can identify potential zones for reversals, continuations, and price targets.
The indicator employs volume filtering ideology to highlight only the most significant FVGs, reducing noise and focusing on gaps formed during periods of higher relative volume. This combination of price structure analysis and volume confirmation provides traders with high-probability areas of interest that institutional smart money may target during future price movements.

💡 What Makes This Unique
Volume Intelligence : Unlike basic FVG indicators, this script incorporates volume analysis to identify the most significant structural imbalances, focusing on quality over quantity.
Visual Clarity Management : Automatic handling of mitigated gaps and memory management ensures your chart remains clean and informative even over extended analysis periods.
Dual-Direction Comprehensive Analysis : Simultaneously tracks both bullish and bearish gaps, providing a complete market structure picture rather than forcing a directional bias.
🔬 How It Works
1. Gap Detection Process :
The indicator examines each candle in relation to previous candles, identifying when a gap forms between the low of candle and high of candle (bearish FVG) or between the high of candle and low of candle (bullish FVG). This specific candle relationship identifies true structural imbalances.
2. Volume Qualification :
For each potential gap, the algorithm calculates the relative volume compared to the configured period average. Only gaps formed with volume exceeding the minimum ratio threshold are displayed, ensuring focus on institutionally significant imbalances.
3. Equilibrium Calculation :
For each qualified gap, the script calculates the precise mathematical midpoint, which becomes the equilibrium line - a key target that price often gravitates toward during mitigation attempts.
4. Mitigation Tracking :
The indicator continuously monitors price action against existing gaps, determining mitigation based on the selected method (wick or close). When price reaches the equilibrium point, the gap is considered mitigated and can be visually updated accordingly.
💡 Note:
Fair Value Gaps represent market inefficiencies that often, but not always, get filled. Use this indicator as part of a complete trading strategy rather than as a standalone system. The most valuable signals typically come from combining FVG analysis with other confirmatory indicators and overall market context. For optimal results, start with the default settings and gradually adjust parameters to match your specific trading timeframe and style.

The indicator plots levels which can act as magnets to price. The levels are gap areas which are used within the ICT (The Inner Circle Trader) trading system.
The indicator plots 5 areas of interest:
1: Daily Volume Imbalances - Referencing the Daily chart, boxes are calculated from close to open between all candles. Candles which have only 'wicks' between the close and open prices are considered 'volume imbalances. The boxes can then be shown on LTFs to aid in decision making for intraday traders. Imbalances can be limited to a maximum amount shown and mitigated imbalances can be removed from the chart. All colors can be customised.
Volume Imbalance example:
2: NWOG - New Week Opening Gap - Plotted from Friday Close at 1659 to Sunday Opening at 1800 (EST). The current NWOG can be displayed on its own, or previous weeks can also be shown (ICT recommends the previous 4 weeks also). Boxes are plotted with a midline and all colors can be customised.
New Week Opening Gaps example:
3. NDOG - New Day Opening Gaps - Plotted from day close at 1659 (EST) to restart at 1800 (EST). All colors can be customised. These gaps can be very small so line widths of 3+ are recommended if the lines are to be seen on HTFs
New Day Opening Gap example:
4. New Opening Gap - Plotted from close at 1659 to Session open at 0930 (EST). These areas can possibly be closed/filled after opening at some time. The indicator will draw box to the right of price which shows if the Opening Gap is UP or DOWN. The box will change color to show up or down, or text alone can be used instead of the box. All colors can be customised.
New Opening Gap Box example:
5. 0930 Opening Line - Draws a horizontal line from the opening price at 0930 (EST) to the last bar on the chart. This is the level used to calculate the New Opening Gap. All colors can be customised.
0930 Opening Line example:
Order Blocks & ImbalanceThis indicator automatically identifies and plots Order Blocks (also known as Fair Value Gaps or Imbalances) based on Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and ICT methodology. It detects significant price inefficiencies (gaps between candles) that often act as institutional supply or demand zones.
How It Works (Technical Methodology)
1. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection
The indicator identifies classic 3-candle imbalances:
- Bullish Order Block (Demand): When the low of the current candle is significantly below the high of the candle two bars ago (low - high ).
- Bearish Order Block (Supply): When the high of the current candle is significantly above the low of the candle two bars ago (low - high ).
A minimum size threshold is enforced using ATR(14) × user-defined multiplier (default 0.5) to filter out minor gaps and focus on meaningful inefficiencies.
2. Zone Creation
- Bullish zones are created at the candle two bars ago (the "origin" candle where inefficiency occurred).
- Bearish zones use the same origin candle.
- Zone boundaries:
Top = high of origin candle
Bottom = low of origin candle
This captures the full range where price moved aggressively, leaving an imbalance that institutions may later revisit.
3. Mitigation Detection
Zones can be mitigated in two ways (user-selectable):
- "Close": Zone is considered touched only if the close price enters the zone.
- "Wick": Zone is touched if any wick (high/low) enters the zone (more sensitive).
When mitigated:
- Background becomes more transparent
- Border turns dotted
- Label changes to "Mitigated"
Broken zones (price fully closes beyond the opposite side) are automatically deleted.
4. Zone Lifecycle Management
- Active Zone: Strong color fill (green for demand, red for supply) with solid border.
- Mitigated Zone: Faded color, dotted border – indicates partial fill or reduced strength.
- Broken Zone: Automatically removed from chart to reduce clutter.
Old zones are also pruned when exceeding 450 total to maintain performance.
5. Smart Visibility Engine (Optional)
When enabled:
- All zones are initially hidden.
- Only the closest relevant zones are shown:
- Up to user-defined limit (default 10) highest bullish zones (closest below price)
- Up to user-defined limit (default 10) lowest bearish zones (closest above price)
- Visible zones are automatically extended to the right and styled appropriately.
This keeps the chart clean while highlighting the most actionable zones near current price.
6. Visual Elements
- Demand Zones: Green fill, labeled "OB Demand"
- Supply Zones: Red fill, labeled "OB Supply"
- Tiny text size to minimize chart clutter
- Zones drawn as boxes using bar_index positioning
How to Use
Order Blocks represent areas of price inefficiency where smart money likely entered/exited positions aggressively.
- Demand Zones (Green): Potential long entry areas when price returns. Expect buying pressure to defend these levels. Best setups when price retests an active (non-mitigated) zone.
- Supply Zones (Red): Potential short entry areas when price returns. Expect selling pressure to emerge.
- Mitigated Zones: Lower probability – may act as weaker support/resistance.
- Smart Visibility: Highly recommended for cleaner charts. Focuses attention on zones most likely to be tested soon.
- Combine with:
- Break of Structure (BOS)/Change of Character (CHOCH)
- Liquidity grabs
- Higher timeframe confluence
- Volume or momentum confirmation
Use higher FVG threshold (e.g., 0.8–1.0) for fewer, higher-quality zones. Lower threshold for more aggressive detection.
Disclaimer
This indicator is a technical analysis tool and should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always use proper risk management.
Effort HeatmapThe Effort Heatmap visualizes where meaningful, same-direction volume occurred inside an imbalance during strong directional movement.
Instead of analyzing total bar volume or traditional volume-at-price distributions, this tool reconstructs a simplified internal volume profile using lower-timeframe data.
When a Fair Value Gap forms during a high-volume displacement, the script highlights the portions of the imbalance candle where directional effort was concentrated and projects those regions forward as a heatmap.
The purpose of this indicator is not to predict price or represent institutional activity, but to offer a visual way to study how the market delivered volume inside a move that created an imbalance.
How It Works
1. Lower-Timeframe Volume Extraction
The indicator retrieves open, close, and volume data from a selected lower timeframe.
Only sub-candles that move in the same direction as the previous bar are considered, ensuring the heatmap reflects directional effort—not mixed volume.
2. Candle Body Binning
The FVG candle is divided into multiple horizontal bins.
Each lower-timeframe sub-candle contributes volume proportionally to the bins it overlaps, creating a vertical volume distribution for that bar.
3. Imbalance (FVG) Detection
A simple 3-bar displacement logic detects bullish or bearish imbalances.
An optional Z-Score filter ensures the heatmap only forms when volume is relatively elevated compared to recent history.
4. Heatmap Projection
When a qualifying imbalance occurs:
• The FVG bar’s volume distribution is normalized
• Only areas with relatively elevated volume are displayed
• Colored heatmap boxes are created and extend forward
• These boxes remain until price trades into or through them
This allows traders to observe how price interacts with past zones of concentrated directional effort.
What Makes It Different
Most volume tools focus on fixed session profiles, market-wide volume-at-price calculations, or bar-level volume totals.
The Effort Heatmap instead reconstructs a per-bar vertical volume distribution using lower-timeframe price action and displays it only when displacement occurs.
Rather than treating the candle as a single block of volume, the indicator highlights where inside the candle body volume was delivered while moving in the displacement direction.
This creates a unique visualization of directional effort that conventional profiles, OB/FVG indicators, and classic oscillators do not show.
How to Use It
1. Apply to any timeframe: The indicator works on all chart timeframes, but gains more detail when higher timeframes are used in combination with lower-timeframe volume data.
2. Identify displacement moments: When a bullish or bearish FVG forms with a high volume Z-Score, the heatmap will appear.
3. Observe the heatmap structure:
Each horizontal band represents the relative concentration of same-direction volume inside the previous candle.
4. Watch how price interacts with these zones:
Heatmap areas extend until price touches or trades through them, at which point they stop extending and are finalized.
5. Combine with your own analysis:
These areas can be used to study...
...how past directional volume clusters influence current movement
...structural reactions to zones of prior effort
...which parts of a displacement candle were most active
The indicator is a visual study tool, not a signal generator.
Settings
• Volume Source Timeframe
Chooses the lower timeframe used to reconstruct internal volume. Smaller timeframes give more detail; larger timeframes give smoother profiles.
• Z-Score Lookback
Controls how many bars are used to measure relative volume. Larger values make the volume filter stricter.
• Z-Score Threshold
Minimum relative-volume strength required to draw a heatmap. Higher values show only high-effort moves.
• Volume Filter (%)
Removes weaker bins based on how much volume they contain compared to the strongest one. Higher percentages = fewer but more meaningful zones.
• Bullish / Bearish Colors
Sets the base color for heatmap boxes depending on direction.
Devils Mark Plus Volume Imbalance Multi TimeframeFollowing the success of the devil marks multi timeframe indicator I decided to add volume imbalance. Devils mark code remains unchanged here.
Functionality of the Devils mark remains the same as in when a candle prints without a wick at either end it indicates an area of price imbalance and it is assumed that the market will want to re-balance this level at some point in the future.
The same can be said for volume imbalances where 2 adjacent candles bodies don't meet. Again it it assumed the market will come back at some point to readdress this imbalance. Once mitigated the volume imbalance will be removed by the indicator.
These areas are best used to add confluence to trade ideas and shouldn't be used to formulate trade ideas on their own.
A table is included for easy reference.
Please note that data for timeframes lower than the current timeframe will not be shown. It is also worth noting that data on much higher timeframes than the current chart timeframe may not be shown due to data restrictions. If in doubt go up a timeframe !
I hope you find this indicator useful.
Liquidity Hunter - FattyTradesThis indicator is used to automatically identify and plot two forms of liquidity that will be targeted by market makers.
The first form of liquidity is based on multi-time fame highs and lows. It plots 1H, 4H, D, W, & M liquidity on an intraday chart to make it easier to identify. I believe hat liquidity is what drives the market and the most common form of this liquidity can be identified through higher time frame highs and lows. You can use whatever method you prefer to determine which liquidity pool will be targeted. When the liquidity is purged, it will be shown as dotted lines. This should not be used as traditional support/resistance, but rather as targets for the market.
The second form of liquidity is in the form of imbalances or fair value gaps. You can select a higher time frame to be plotted along with the current time frame you're viewing to identify imbalances that will likely be targeted intraday. We know that higher time frame fair value gaps work equally well as targets for market makers. When a higher time frame FVG is broken into, it can also act as a very powerful form of support and resistance. By default, when a fair value gap has been mitigated it will be removed from the chart, however this can be disabled.
Between these two forms of market maker liquidity targets on the chart, it will be easier to formulate a thesis intraday to determine where the market will move. It can help minimize the amount of switching between higher time frames that needs to be done, allowing you to identify targets while trading on your favorite intraday time frame for optimal risk/reward.
In the near future, I will build in alerting mechanism to alert when liquidity on higher time frames as been purged/mitigated.
Aggressor Volume ImbalanceAggressor volume imbalance represents the ratio between market aggressor buy volume (market buy orders) and market aggressor sell volume (market sell orders). This ratio enables traders to evaluate the interest of market aggressors and whether aggressive market activity favours the price's direction.
Analysing aggressor volume is critical in understanding market sentiment and aids in identifying shifts in momentum and potential exhaustion points in the market. When the aggressor buy volume significantly exceeds the sell volume, it typically indicates strong buying interest, driving prices higher if the offer-side liquidity cannot contain it, and vice versa.
How it Works
The imbalance ratio is calculated as follows, according to the selected session timeframe (see settings):
imbalance := ((buyVolumeAccumulator - sellVolumeAccumulator)
/ (buyVolumeAccumulator + sellVolumeAccumulator)) * 100
Aggressive Volume Imbalance uses lower timeframe historical data to calculate Historical Aggressor Volume Imbalances, while live data is used for live aggressor volume imbalances.
How to Use It
You can set the indicator to use any historical data timeframe you prefer. However, it is highly recommended to use lower timeframes (e.g., 1 second), as the lower the timeframe, the more granular the data.
The indicator resets to 0% whenever a new session timeframe begins (e.g., a new day) and calculates new values for the rest of the session. This can be configured in the settings.
Temporary imbalancesThis indicator is designed to identify imbalances in order flow and market liquidity, It highlights candles with significant imbalances and draws reference lines
The indicator calculates imbalance based on changes in closing prices and volume. It uses the standard deviation to determine the significant imbalance threshold. Candles with bullish imbalances are highlighted in green, while candles with bearish imbalances are highlighted in red.
Furthermore, the indicator includes features of latency arbitrage and liquidity analysis. Latency arbitrage looks for price differences between the anchored VWAP and bid/ask quotes, targeting trading opportunities based on these differences. The liquidity analysis verifies the liquidity imbalance and calculates the VWAP anchored on this value in total using 4 VWAP.
This indicator can be adjusted according to the preferences and characteristics of the specific asset or market. It provides clear visual information and can be used as a complementary tool for technical analysis in trading strategies.

Este indicador é projetado para identificar desequilíbrios no fluxo de ordens e na liquidez do mercado, Ele destaca velas com desequilíbrios significativos e traça linhas de referência
O indicador calcula o desequilíbrio com base nas mudanças nos preços de fechamento e no volume. Ele usa o desvio padrão para determinar o limiar de desequilíbrio significativo. As velas com desequilíbrios de alta são destacadas em verde, enquanto as velas com desequilíbrios de baixa são destacadas em vermelho.
Além disso, o indicador inclui recursos de arbitragem de latência e análise de liquidez. A arbitragem de latência procura diferenças de preços entre a VWAP ancorada e as cotações de compra/venda, visando oportunidades de negociação com base nessas diferenças. A análise de liquidez verifica o desequilíbrio de liquidez e calcula a VWAP ancorada nesse valor ao total utiliza 4 VWAP.
Este indicador pode ser ajustado de acordo com as preferências e características do ativo ou mercado específico. Ele fornece informações visuais claras e pode ser usado como uma ferramenta complementar para análise técnica em estratégias de negociação.

Daily/Weekly FVG by KrisThis indicator is a Multi-Timeframe (MTF) tool designed to automatically identify and project Fair Value Gaps (Imbalances) from Daily and Weekly timeframes onto your current chart. It helps traders locate higher-timeframe Areas of Interest (POI) and liquidity voids without manually switching charts.
How it works:
The script utilizes `request.security` to fetch High and Low data from Daily and Weekly timeframes. It identifies a Fair Value Gap (FVG) based on the 3-candle formation logic where price moves inefficiently, leaving a gap between the wicks.
- Bullish FVG: Identified when the current Daily/Weekly Low is greater than the High of the candle from 2 periods ago.
- Bearish FVG: Identified when the current Daily/Weekly High is lower than the Low of the candle from 2 periods ago.
The indicator draws a box extending to the right to visualize the zone, along with a dotted midline which often acts as a sensitive support/resistance level.
Unique Feature: Smart Mitigation (Auto-Hide)
To keep your chart clean and focused on relevant data, the script includes a "Full Fill" logic. It continuously monitors price action relative to existing FVG boxes.
- If price completely crosses through a box (fully fills the gap), the indicator considers it "mitigated" and automatically hides the box and its midline (sets transparency to 100%).
- This ensures you only see "fresh" or unfilled gaps that are still relevant for trading.
Settings:
- TF Checkboxes (Daily/Weekly FVG): Toggle the visibility of Daily or Weekly gaps independently based on your analysis needs.
- Design Mode:
Colored: Uses classic Green (Bullish) and Red (Bearish) colors for easy trend identification.
Monochrome: Uses Gray tones for a minimalist look that reduces visual noise on the chart.
Usage:
Use these zones to identify potential reversal points or liquidity targets. Since these are higher-timeframe levels, they often carry more weight than intraday imbalances.
