Delta Volume Profile [BigBeluga]🔵Delta Volume Profile
A dynamic volume analysis tool that builds two separate horizontal profiles: one for bullish candles and one for bearish candles. This indicator helps traders identify the true balance of buying vs. selling volume across price levels, highlighting points of control (POCs), delta dominance, and hidden volume clusters with remarkable precision.
🔵 KEY FEATURES
Split Volume Profiles (Bull vs. Bear):
The indicator separates volume based on candle direction:
If close > open , the candle’s volume is added to the bullish profile (positive volume).
If close < open , it contributes to the bearish profile (negative volume).
ATR-Based Binning:
The price range over the selected lookback is split into bins using ATR(200) as the bin height.
Each bin accumulates both bull and bear volumes to form the dual-sided profile.
Bull and Bear Volume Bars:
Bullish volumes are shown as right-facing bars on the right side, colored with a bullish gradient.
Bearish volumes appear as left-facing bars on the left side, shaded with a bearish gradient.
Each bar includes a volume label (e.g., +12.45K or -9.33K) to show exact volume at that price level.
Points of Control (POC) Highlighting:
The bin with the highest bullish volume is marked with a border in POC+ color (default: blue).
The bin with the highest bearish volume is marked with a POC− color (default: orange).
Total Volume Density Map:
A neutral gray background box is plotted behind candles showing the total volume (bull + bear) per bin.
This reveals high-interest price zones regardless of direction.
Delta and Total Volume Summary:
A Delta label appears at the top, showing net % difference between bull and bear volume.
A Total label at the bottom shows total accumulated volume across all bins.
🔵 HOW IT WORKS
The indicator captures all candles within the lookback period .
It calculates the price range and splits it into bins using ATR for adaptive resolution.
For each candle:
If price intersects a bin and close > open , volume is added to the positive profile .
If close < open , volume is added to the negative profile .
The result is two side-by-side histograms at each price level—one for buyers, one for sellers.
The bin with the highest value on each side is visually emphasized using POC highlight colors.
At the end, the script calculates:
Delta: Total % difference between bull and bear volumes.
Total: Sum of all volumes in the lookback window.
🔵 USAGE
Volume Imbalance Zones: Identify price levels where buyers or sellers were clearly dominant.
Fade or Follow Volume Clusters: Use POC+ or POC− levels for reaction trades or breakouts.
Delta Strength Filtering: Strong delta values (> ±20%) suggest momentum or exhaustion setups.
Volume-Based Anchoring: Use profile levels to mark hidden support/resistance and execution zones.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Delta Volume Profile offers a unique advantage in market reading by separating buyer and seller activity into two visual layers. This allows traders to not only spot where volume was high, but also who was more aggressive. Whether you’re analyzing trend continuations, reversals, or absorption levels, this indicator gives you the transparency needed to trade with confidence.

Consolidation Range [BigBeluga]A hybrid volatility-volume indicator that isolates periods of price equilibrium and reveals the directional force behind each range buildup.
Consolidation Range is a powerful tool designed to detect compression phases in the market using volatility thresholds while visualizing volume imbalance within those phases. By combining low-volatility detection with directional volume delta, it highlights where accumulation or distribution is occurring—giving traders the confidence to act when breakouts follow. This indicator is particularly valuable in choppy or sideways markets where range identification and sentiment context are key.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Volatility Compression: Uses ADX (Average Directional Index) to detect periods of low trend strength—specifically when ADX drops below a configurable threshold.
Range Structure: Upon a low-volatility trigger, the script dynamically anchors horizontal upper and lower bounds based on local highs and lows.
Directional Volume Delta: Inside each active range, it calculates the net difference between buy and sell volume, showing who controlled the range.
Sentiment Bias: A label appears in the center of the zone on breakout, showing the accumulated delta and bias direction (▲ for positive, ▼ for negative).
Range Validity Filter: Only ranges with more than 15 bars are considered valid—short-lived consolidations are auto-filtered.
🔵 KEY FEATURES
Detects low volatility market phases using ADX logic (crosses under "Volatility Threshold Input").
Automatically plots adaptive consolidation zones with upper and lower boundary lines.
Includes dynamic midline to visualize the price average inside the range.
Visual range is filled with a progressive gradient to reflect distance between highs and lows.
When the range is active, the indicator accumulates volume delta (Buy - Sell volume) .
Upon breakout, the total volume delta is displayed at the midpoint , providing insight into market sentiment during the consolidation phase.
Filters out weak or short-lived consolidations under 15 bars.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Spot ranging or compression zones with minimal effort.
Use breakouts with volume delta bias to assess the strength or weakness of moves.
Combine with trend-following tools or volume-based confirmation for stronger setups.
Apply to higher timeframes for macro consolidation tracking .
🔵 CONCLUSION
Consolidation Range now brings together volatility filtering and directional volume delta into one smart module. This hybrid logic allows traders to not only identify balance zones but also understand who was in control during the buildup—offering a sharper edge for breakout and trend continuation strategies.

🔍 What is the Value Scanner?
The Value Scanner by QuantEdgeB is a volatility-adaptive valuation framework that dynamically evaluates where price sits relative to a custom “Fair Value” zone. It combines your choice of moving average engine (SMA, WMA, VIDYA, etc.) with multi-layered standard deviation or ATR-based bands to highlight extreme conditions, reversal zones, and statistical overextensions in real time.
💡 Think of Value Scanner as a radar grid, continuously scanning market terrain and painting a full spectrum from balance to extreme disequilibrium.
⚙️ Core Components
✅ Customizable Moving Average Core
At the heart of the scanner lies a flexible moving average engine:
• Choose from 12+ advanced types: 𝓦𝓜𝓐, 𝓥𝓦𝓜𝓐, 𝓥𝓘𝓓𝓨𝓐, 𝓢𝓜𝓜𝓐, 𝓐𝓛𝓜𝓐, 𝓛𝓢𝓜𝓐, and more.
• Fair Value is derived from this base and acts as the center of the statistical zones.
✅ Volatility-Driven Band Construction
Two volatility methods power the adaptive zones:
• Average True Range (ATR): Ideal for reactive, price-based spreads.
• Standard Deviation (SD): Better for modeling reversion and deviation symmetry.
The scanner builds up to ±5σ zones, dynamically updating in real time.
🎯 Signal and Zone Identification
🧭 Deviation Labels
The system assigns a statistical label at every candle:
• From +0.5σ to +5σ for increasing levels of overextension upward.
• From -0.5σ to -5σ for oversold and undervalued conditions.
🌐 Market Stage Detection
Each deviation zone is translated into an intuitive market phrase such as:
• “𝓔𝔁𝓽𝓻𝓮𝓶𝓮𝓵𝔂 𝓞𝓿𝓮𝓻𝓫𝓸𝓾𝓰𝓱𝓽”
• “𝓜𝓲𝓭 𝓥𝓪𝓵𝓾𝓮 / 𝓑𝓪𝓵𝓪𝓷𝓬𝓮𝓭”
• “𝓜𝓪𝔁𝓲𝓶𝓾𝓶 𝓔𝔁𝓽𝓮𝓷𝓼𝓲𝓸𝓷 𝓓𝓸𝔀𝓷”
These phrases help you intuitively gauge risk, reward, and imbalance without needing to study a chart for long.
🔺 Signal Mechanics
📌 Reversal Signals (Optional)
• Automatic buy signals when price crosses above key lower deviation levels.
• Sell signals when price crosses below upper deviation bands.
• Ideal for mean-reversion setups or high-probability reversal plays.
🖼️ Visual Overlay Engine
• Beautifully shaded volatility bands with decreasing opacity as they move away from fair value.
• Background coloring highlights extreme price zones for fast visual alerts.
• Built-in "table display" summarizing the current base, volatility method, direction, fair value, and deviation stage.
📊 Table Overlay Features
The live diagnostic table (position adjustable) displays:
• 📈 Current Base MA Type
• 🌡️ Volatility Method in use (ATR or SD)
• 🧭 Trend direction (rising/falling/neutral)
• 🧮 Current Deviation Label (+2σ, -3σ, etc.)
• 🚦 Interpretive Stage Phrase ("Strongly Overbought", etc.)
• 📍 Real-Time Fair Value
• 🚨 Upper & Lower Extremes
🧠 Why Use the Value Scanner?
This tool is designed for traders who want to:

USDTUSD Stochastic RSI [SAKANE]Release Note
■ Overview
The USDTUSD Stochastic RSI indicator visualizes shifts in market sentiment and liquidity by applying the Stochastic RSI to the USDT/USD price pair.
Rather than tracking the price of Bitcoin directly, this tool observes the momentum of USDT, a key intermediary in most crypto transactions, to detect early signals of trend reversals.
■ Background & Motivation
USDT exhibits two distinct characteristics:
Its credibility as a long-term store of value is limited.
Yet, it serves as one of the most liquid assets in the crypto space and is widely used as a trading base pair.
Because most BTC trades involve converting fiat into USDT and vice versa, USDT/USD frequently deviates slightly from its peg to USD.
These deviations—though subtle—often occur just before major shifts in the broader crypto market.
This indicator is designed to detect such moments of structural imbalance by applying momentum analysis to USDT itself.
■ Feature Highlights
Calculates RSI and Stochastic RSI on the USDT/USD closing price
Supports customizable smoothing via SMA or EMA
Background shading dynamically visualizes overheated or cooled market states (thresholds are adjustable)
Displayed in a separate pane, keeping it visually distinct from the price chart
■ Usage Insights
This indicator is based on an observable pattern:
When the Stochastic RSI bottoms out, Bitcoin tends to form a price bottom shortly afterward
Conversely, when the indicator peaks, Bitcoin tends to top out with a slight delay
Since USDT acts as a gateway for capital in and out of the market, changes in its momentum often foreshadow turning points in BTC.
This allows traders to anticipate shifts in sentiment rather than merely reacting to them.
■ Unique Value Proposition
Unlike conventional price-based indicators, this tool offers a structural perspective.
It focuses on USDT as a mechanism of liquidity flow, making it possible to detect the "hidden rhythm" of the crypto market.
In that sense, this is not just a technical tool, but an entry point into market microstructure analysis—allowing users to read the market’s intentions rather than just its movements.
■ Practical Tips
Look for reversals in momentum as potential BTC entry or exit points.
Overlay this indicator with the BTC chart to compare timing and divergence.
Combine with other tools such as on-chain data or macro indicators for comprehensive analysis.
■ Final Thoughts
USDTUSD Stochastic RSI is designed with the belief that the most important market signals often come from what drives the price, not the price itself.
By tuning into the “heartbeat” of capital flow, this indicator sheds light on market dynamics that would otherwise remain unseen.
We hope it proves useful in your trading and research.
Impulse Zones | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Impulse Zones indicator, a powerful tool designed to identify significant price movements accompanied by strong volume, highlighting potential areas of support and resistance. These Impulse Zones can offer valuable insights into market momentum and potential reversal or continuation points. For more information about the process, please check the "HOW DOES IT WORK ?" section.
Impulse Zones Features :
Dynamic Zone Creation : Automatically identifies and plots potential supply and demand zones based on significant price impulses and volume spikes.
Customizable Settings : Allows you to adjust the sensitivity of zone detection based on your trading style and market conditions.
Retests and Breakouts : Clearly marks instances where price retests or breaks through established Impulse Zones, providing potential entry or exit signals.
Alerts : You can set alerts for Bullish & Bearish Impulse Zone detection and their retests.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
Our Impulse Zones indicator stands out by combining both price action (impulsive moves) and volume confirmation to define significant zones. Unlike simple support and resistance indicators, it emphasizes the strength behind price movements, potentially filtering out less significant levels. The inclusion of retest and breakout visuals directly on the chart provides immediate context for potential trading opportunities. The user can also set up alerts for freshly detected Impulse Zones & the retests of them.
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The indicator identifies bars where the price range (high - low) is significantly larger than the average true range (ATR), indicating a strong price movement. The Size Sensitivity input allows you to control how large this impulse needs to be relative to the ATR.
Simultaneously, it checks if the volume on the impulse bar is significantly higher than the average volume. The Volume Sensitivity input governs this threshold.
When both the price impulse and volume confirmation criteria are met, an Impulse Zone is created in the corresponding direction. The high and low of the impulse bar define the initial boundaries of the zone. Zones are extended forward in time to remain relevant. The indicator manages the number of active zones to maintain chart clarity and can remove zones that haven't been touched for a specified period. The indicator monitors price action within and around established zones.
A retest is identified when the price touches a zone and then moves away. A break occurs when the price closes beyond the invalidation point of a zone. Keep in mind that if "Show Historic Zones" setting is disabled, you will not see break labels as their zones will be removed from the chart.
The detection of Impulse Zones are immediate signs of significant buying or selling pressure entering the market. These zones represent areas where a strong imbalance between buyers and sellers has led to a rapid price movement accompanied by high volume. Bullish Impulse Zones act as a possible future support zone, and Bearish Impulse Zones act as a possible future resistance zone. Retests of the zones suggest a strong potential movement in the corresponding direction.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Show Historic Zones: If enabled, invalidated or expired Impulse Zones will remain visible on the chart.
2. Impulse Zones
Invalidation Method: Determines which part of the candle (Wick or Close) is used to invalidate a zone break.
Size Sensitivity: Controls the required size of the impulse bar relative to the ATR for a zone to be detected. Higher values may identify fewer, larger zones. Lower values may detect more, smaller zones.
Volume Sensitivity: Controls the required volume of the impulse bar relative to the average volume for a zone to be detected. Higher values require more significant volume.
Labels: Toggles the display of "IZ" labels on the identified zones.
Retests: Enables the visual highlighting of retests on the zones.
Breaks: Enables the visual highlighting of zone breaks.
Approx. Footprint: Volume DeltaThis indicator brings you a simplified “footprint” view by charting the volume delta—the imbalance between bullish and bearish volume—alongside total bar volume.
Delta Bars: Green/red columns show where buyers (close > open) or sellers (close < open) dominated each bar.
Total Volume: Semi-transparent gray columns in the background give you overall context.
No Hidden Data: Works on any symbol/timeframe without tick-by-tick or bid/ask feeds.
Use it to quickly spot bars with strong buying or selling pressure, identify momentum shifts, and confirm breakouts or reversals—all within TradingView’s standard volume streams.
Balanced Price Range | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Balanced Price Range (BPR) indicator! A Balanced Price Range is a trading concept used by price action traders. It is detected by finding overlapping area between two contrary Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). These areas can be used as entry points during market pullbacks. For more information about the process, please check the "HOW DOES IT WORK ?" section.
Balanced Price Range Features :
Balanced Price Range Detection : Identifies areas where bullish and bearish FVGs overlap, suggesting a zone of price equilibrium.
Customizable FVG & BPR Detection : You can fine-tune FVG detection and sensitivity for BPR detection to your liking.
Retest Labels : Bullish & Bearish retest labels will be rendered for BPRs.
Alerts : You can set alerts for Bullish & Bearish BPR detection and their retests.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
This indicator doesn't just detect standard FVGs but specifically looks for areas where bullish and bearish IFVGs (Invalidated Fair Value Gaps) overlap, defining a Balanced Price Range. It also actively manages and updates identified BPR zones, removing them when they are invalidated or remain untouched for a specified period. It highlights and alerts users to retests of established BPR zones, signaling potential trading opportunities. Users can tailor the appearance of the BPR zones and retest markers, as well as configure specific alerts for new BPR formations and retests.
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
A Fair Value Gap generally occur when there is an imbalance in the market. They can be detected by specific formations within the chart. The indicator first detects bullish & bearish FVG zones according to their formations on chart. Then, they are dynamically tracked and flagged as invalidated if the price crosses them, turning them into IFVGs. When a FVG & IFVG of the same type overlaps, the indicator combines them into a single BPR of corresponding type. The detected BPR is updated as new data comes in, and renders retests labels as they occur. A bullish BPR can be used to find long trade entry opportunities, while a bearish BPR can be used to find short trade entry opportunities. Retests can also indicate potential movements in the corresponding direction of the BPR. Users can set-up alerts for BPR detection & BPR retests and will get notified as they occur.
⚙️ SETTINGS
Show Historic Zones: If enabled, invalidated or expired BPR zones will remain visible on the chart.
Balanced Price Range:
FVG Detection Method: Determines the criteria for the bar types forming the initial FVG.
Same: All three bars forming the FVG must be of the same type (all bullish or all bearish).
Mixed: The bar types must vary (a mix of bullish and bearish bars).
All: Bar types can vary or be the same.
FVG Invalidation Method: Determines which part of the candle (wick or close) invalidates the initial FVG.
BPR Invalidation Method: Determines which part of the candle (wick or close) invalidates the Balanced Price Range.
Sensitivity: Adjusts the sensitivity of FVG detection. Higher values may identify fewer, larger BPRs, while lower values may detect more, smaller BPRs.
Labels: Toggles the display of text labels on the identified zones.
Retests: Enables or disables the detection and visualization of BPR retests.
Volumetric Entropy IndexVolumetric Entropy Index (VEI)
A volume-based drift analyzer that captures directional pressure, trend agreement, and entropy structure using smoothed volume flows.
---
🧠 What It Does:
• Volume Drift EMAs : Shows buy/sell pressure momentum with adaptive smoothing.
• Dynamic Bands : Bollinger-style volatility wrappers react to expanding/contracting drift.
• Baseline Envelope : Clean structural white rails for mean-reversion zones or trend momentum.
• Background Shading : Highlights when both sides (up & down drift) are in agreement — green for bullish, red for bearish.
• Alerts Included : Drift alignment, crossover events, net drift shifts, and strength spikes.
---
🔍 What Makes It Different:
• Most volume indicators rely on bars, oscillators, or OBV-style accumulation — this doesn’t.
• It compares directional EMAs of raw volume to isolate real-time bias and acceleration.
• It visualizes the twisting tension between volume forces — not just price reaction.
• Designed to show when volatility is building inside the volume mechanics before price follows.
• Modular — every element is optional, so you can run it lean or fully loaded.
---
📊 How to Use It:
• Drift EMAs : Watch for one side consistently dominating — sharp spikes often precede breakouts.
• Bands : When they tighten and start expanding, it often signals directional momentum forming.
• Envelope Lines : Use as high-probability reversal or continuation zones. Bands crossing envelopes = potential thrust.
• Background Color : Green/red backgrounds confirm volume agreement. Can be used as a filter for other signals.
• Net Drift : Optional smoothed oscillator showing the difference between bullish and bearish volume pressure. Crosses above or below zero signal directional bias shifts.
• Drift Strength : Measures pressure buildup — spikes often correlate with large moves.

Dynamic Liquidity Depth [BigBeluga]
Dynamic Liquidity Depth
A liquidity mapping engine that reveals hidden zones of market vulnerability. This tool simulates where potential large concentrations of stop-losses may exist — above recent highs (sell-side) and below recent lows (buy-side) — by analyzing real price behavior and directional volume. The result is a dynamic two-sided volume profile that highlights where price is most likely to gravitate during liquidation events, reversals, or engineered stop hunts.
🔵 KEY FEATURES
Two-Sided Liquidity Profiles:
Plots two separate profiles on the chart — one above price for potential sell-side liquidity , and one below price for potential buy-side liquidity . Each profile reflects the volume distribution across binned zones derived from historical highs and lows.
Real Stop Zone Simulation:
Each profile is offset from the current high or low using an ATR-based buffer. This simulates where traders might cluster their stop-losses above swing highs (short stops) or below swing lows (long stops).
Directional Volume Analysis:
Buy-side volume is accumulated only from bullish candles (close > open), while sell-side volume is accumulated only from bearish candles (close < open). This directional filtering enhances accuracy by capturing genuine pressure zones.
Dynamic Volume Heatmap:
Each liquidity bin is rendered as a horizontal box with a color gradient based on volume intensity:
- Low activity bins are shaded lightly.
- High-volume zones appear more vividly in red (sell) or lime (buy).
- The maximum volume bin in each profile is emphasized with a brighter fill and a volume label.
Extended POC Zones:
The Point of Control (PoC) — the bin with the most volume — is extended backwards across the entire lookback period to mark critical resistance (sell-side) or support (buy-side) levels.
Total Volume Summary Labels:
At the center of each profile, a summary label displays Total Buy Liquidity and Total Sell Liquidity volume.
This metric helps assess directional imbalance — when buy liquidity is dominant, the market may favor upward continuation, and vice versa.
Customizable Profile Granularity:
You can fine-tune both Resolution (Bins) and Offset Distance to adjust how far profiles are displaced from price and how many levels are calculated within the ATR range.
🔵 HOW IT WORKS
The indicator calculates an ATR-based buffer above highs and below lows to define the top and bottom of the liquidity zones.
Using a user-defined lookback period, it scans historical candles and divides the buffered zones into bins.
Each bin checks if bullish (or bearish) candles pass through it based on price wicks and body.
Volume from valid candles is summed into the corresponding bin.
When volume exists in a bin, a horizontal box is drawn with a width scaled by relative volume strength.
The bin with the highest volume is highlighted and optionally extended backward as a zone of importance.
Total buy/sell liquidity is displayed with a summary label at the side of the profile.
🔵 USAGE/b]
Identify Stop Hunt Zones: High-volume clusters near swing highs/lows are likely liquidation zones targeted during fakeouts.
Fade or Follow Reactions: Price hitting a high-volume bin may reverse (fade opportunity) or break with strength (confirmation breakout).
Layer with Other Tools: Combine with market structure, order blocks, or trend filters to validate entries near liquidity.
Adjust Offset for Sensitivity: Use higher offset to simulate wider stop placement; use lower for tighter scalping zones.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Dynamic Liquidity Depth transforms raw price and volume into a spatial map of liquidity. By revealing areas where stop orders are likely hidden, it gives traders insight into price manipulation zones, potential reversal levels, and breakout traps. Whether you're hunting for traps or trading with the flow, this tool equips you to navigate liquidity with precision.
Big Whale Finder PROBig Whale Finder PRO
The Big Whale Finder PRO is an advanced technical indicator designed to detect and analyze the footprints of institutional traders (commonly referred to as "whales") in financial markets. Based on multiple proprietary detection algorithms, this indicator identifies distinct patterns of accumulation and distribution that typically occur when large market participants execute significant orders.
Theoretical Framework
The indicator builds upon established market microstructure theories and empirical research on institutional trading behavior. As Kyle (1985) demonstrated in his seminal work on market microstructure, informed traders with large positions tend to execute their orders strategically to minimize market impact. This often results in specific volume and price action patterns that the Big Whale Finder PRO is designed to detect.
Key Feature Enhancements
1. Volume Analysis Refinement
The indicator implements a dual-threshold approach to volume analysis based on research by Easley et al. (2012) on volume-based informed trading metrics. The normal threshold identifies routine institutional activity, while the extreme threshold flags exceptional events that often precede significant market moves.
2. Wickbody Ratio Analysis
Drawing from Cao et al. (2021) research on price formation and order flow imbalance, the indicator incorporates wick-to-body ratio analysis to detect potential order absorption and iceberg orders. High wick-to-body ratios often indicate hidden liquidity and resistance/support levels maintained by large players.
3. BWF-Index (Proprietary Metric)
The BWF-Index is a novel quantitative measure that combines volume anomalies, price stagnation, and candle morphology into a single metric. This approach draws from Harris's (2003) work on trading and exchanges, which suggests that institutional activity often manifests through multiple simultaneous market microstructure anomalies.
4. Zone Tracking System
Based on Wyckoff Accumulation/Distribution methodology and modern zone detection algorithms, the indicator establishes and tracks zones where institutional activity has occurred. This feature enables traders to identify potential support/resistance areas where large players have previously shown interest.
5. Trend Integration
Following Lo and MacKinlay's (1988) work on market efficiency and technical analysis, the indicator incorporates trend analysis through dual EMA comparison, providing context for volume and price patterns.
Labels and Signals Explanation
The indicator uses a system of labels to mark significant events on the chart:
🐋 (Whale Symbol): Indicates extreme volume activity that significantly exceeds normal market participation. This is often a sign of major institutional involvement and frequently precedes significant price moves. The presence of this label suggests heightened attention is warranted as a potential trend reversal or acceleration may be imminent.
A (Accumulation): Marks periods where large players are likely accumulating positions. This is characterized by high volume, minimal price movement upward, and stronger support at the lower end of the candle (larger lower wicks). Accumulation zones often form bases for future upward price movements. This pattern frequently occurs at the end of downtrends or during consolidation phases before uptrends.
D (Distribution): Identifies periods where large players are likely distributing (selling) their positions. This pattern shows high volume, minimal downward price movement, and stronger resistance at the upper end of the candle (larger upper wicks). Distribution zones often form tops before downward price movements. This pattern typically appears at the end of uptrends or during consolidation phases before downtrends.
ICE (Iceberg Order): Flags the potential presence of iceberg orders, where large orders are split into smaller visible portions to hide the true size. These are characterized by unusual wick-to-body ratios with high volume. Iceberg orders often indicate price levels that large institutions consider significant and may act as strong support or resistance areas.
Information Panel Interpretation
The information panel provides real-time analysis of market conditions:
Volume/Average Ratio: Shows how current volume compares to the historical average. Values above the threshold (default 1.5x) indicate abnormal activity that may signal institutional involvement.
BWF-Index: A proprietary metric that quantifies potential whale activity. Higher values (especially >10) indicate stronger likelihood of institutional participation. The BWF-Index combines volume anomalies, price action characteristics, and candle morphology to provide a single measure of potential whale activity.
Status: Displays the current market classification based on detected patterns:
"Major Whale Activity": Extreme volume detected, suggesting significant institutional involvement
"Accumulation": Potential buying activity by large players
"Distribution": Potential selling activity by large players
"High Volume": Above-average volume without clear accumulation/distribution patterns
"Normal": Regular market activity with no significant institutional footprints
Trend: Shows the current market trend based on EMA comparison:
"Uptrend": Fast EMA above Slow EMA, suggesting bullish momentum
"Downtrend": Fast EMA below Slow EMA, suggesting bearish momentum
"Sideways": EMAs very close together, suggesting consolidation
Zone: Indicates if the current price is in a previously identified institutional activity zone:
"In Buy Zone": Price is in an area where accumulation was previously detected
"In Sell Zone": Price is in an area where distribution was previously detected
"Neutral": Price is not in a previously identified institutional zone
Trading Recommendations
Based on the different signals and patterns, the following trading recommendations apply:
Bullish Scenarios
Accumulation (A) + Uptrend: Strong buy signal. Large players are accumulating in an established uptrend, suggesting potential continuation or acceleration.
Strategy: Consider entering long positions with stops below the accumulation zone.
Extreme Volume (🐋) + In Buy Zone + Price Above EMAs: Very bullish. Major whale activity in a previously established buying zone with positive price action.
Strategy: Aggressive buying opportunity with wider stops to accommodate volatility.
High BWF-Index (>10) + Accumulation + Downtrend Ending: Potential trend reversal signal. High institutional interest at the potential end of a downtrend.
Strategy: Early position building with tight risk management until trend confirmation.
Bearish Scenarios
Distribution (D) + Downtrend: Strong sell signal. Large players are distributing in an established downtrend, suggesting potential continuation or acceleration.
Strategy: Consider entering short positions with stops above the distribution zone.
Extreme Volume (🐋) + In Sell Zone + Price Below EMAs: Very bearish. Major whale activity in a previously established selling zone with negative price action.
Strategy: Aggressive shorting opportunity with wider stops to accommodate volatility.
High BWF-Index (>10) + Distribution + Uptrend Ending: Potential trend reversal signal. High institutional interest at the potential end of an uptrend.
Strategy: Early short position building with tight risk management until trend confirmation.
Neutral/Caution Scenarios
Iceberg Orders (ICE) + Sideways Market: Suggests significant hidden liquidity at current levels.
Strategy: Mark these levels as potential support/resistance for future reference. Consider range-trading strategies.
Conflicting Signals (e.g., Accumulation in Downtrend): Requires careful analysis.
Strategy: Wait for additional confirmation or reduce position sizing.
Multiple Extreme Volume Events (🐋) in Succession: Indicates unusual market conditions, possibly related to news events or major market shifts.
Strategy: Exercise extreme caution and potentially reduce exposure until clarity emerges.
Practical Applications
Short-Term Trading:
Use the indicator to identify institutional activity zones for potential intraday support/resistance levels
Watch for whale symbols (🐋) to anticipate potential volatility or trend changes
Combine with price action analysis for entry/exit timing
Swing Trading
Focus on accumulation/distribution patterns in conjunction with the prevailing trend
Use buy/sell zones as areas to establish or exit positions
Monitor the BWF-Index for increasing institutional interest over time
Position Trading
Track long-term whale activity to identify shifts in institutional positioning
Use multiple timeframe analysis to confirm major accumulation/distribution phases
Combine with fundamental analysis to validate potential long-term trend changes

[Pandora's Chambers] Liquidity Zones F[attr_rep] V1The Liquidity Zones F V1 indicator merges visual liquidity‐zone analysis with a mathematical model that quantifies opposing market forces. It scans a historical lookback window to compute average volume (avgVol), aggregates cumulative buy/sell volumes, detects significant wicks, and renders main and dotted lines plus background fills to show pressure at each price level. After constructing these graphic elements, it scores each signal (up to 130 points) and converts it into a percentage (0–100%) mapped onto a five‑domain polar scale:
0–50: Negative dominance
50–60: Initial equilibrium
60–75: Positive momentum build‑up
75–80: Decay of positive effect
80–100: Positive overextension with reversal potential
1. How It Works
Lookback & avgVol:
– Computes a simple moving average of volume over lookback bars.
cumBuy / cumSell:
– Adds volume to cumBuy when bar close > open; to cumSell when close < open.
Wick Detection:
– Flags bars whose wick length exceeds body length; records creation price, wickFactor, and volume.
Line Creation:
– For each strong wick, draws a solid “main” line and a dotted “secondary” line, with placeholder labels.
Scoring & Chance%:
– On each new bar, computes volume delta since creation, applies weighted scoring (wickFactor, volume ratio, proximity, leverage, imbalance) up to 130 points.
– Converts score to chancePerc (0–100%).
Style & Label Updates:
– ≥76%: dashed line; 50–76%: solid or dotted by classification; <50%: dotted “F_attr.”
– Labels show “F_rep …” or “F_attr X%.”
Magnet Lines:
– Identifies lowest bullish‐main price and highest bearish‐main price, computes midPrice and relative fraction, then calculates targetPrice A/B.
– Draws dotted magnet lines and labels “liquidity force (+)/(–)” beside price chart.
Background Fill:
– Fills area between midPrice and bullishTarget in bullish color; between midPrice and bearishTarget in bearish color.
2. Settings & Inputs
Parameter Default Description
lookback 200 Number of bars to calculate average and cumulative volumes.
offsetDot 0.0002 Vertical spacing between dotted lines.
ratioLineLength 8 Length (in bars) of the magnet line.
ratioLineOffset 8 Horizontal offset (bars) for magnet placement.
ratioLineWidth 1 Width of magnet lines (1–10).
bullish_line_color #00BCD4 Color for bullish main and dotted lines.
bearish_line_color #BA68C8 Color for bearish main and dotted lines.
Advanced Tweaks:
Adjust the number of dotted “grade” lines per wick or modify the scoring thresholds for custom classification.
3. Interpretation & Polar Scale
The x value (chancePerc) is interpreted across five polar domains for concise force balance reading:
0 ≤ x < 50: Selling dominance – consider exit or avoidance.
50 ≤ x < 60: Early balance – await confirmation.
60 ≤ x < 75: Rising buy pressure.
75 ≤ x < 80: Slowing bullish momentum.
80 ≤ x ≤ 100: Overextended bullish – watch for potential reversal.
@InvInst - ZG📌 ZG INDICATOR
📊 OVERVIEW
The ZG Indicator is a comprehensive tool for identifying Reversal Zones (ZG) across any timeframe and asset. Designed to support objective trend analysis, it does not depend on adjustable parameters for each asset and assists in discerning potential trend shifts and dynamic Fibonacci retracements without subjective user bias. It is most effective when used alongside the AT Indicator, which provides complementary insights by evaluating both current and future trends through probability-based calculations of bullish, sideways, or bearish outcomes. The accompanying chart demonstrates the ZG Indicator overlaid on price data.
📊 VALUE OF THE INDICATOR…
No matter if you are a discretionary or a systematic trader, the result of this approach is game changer, since ensuring a single valid interpretation of asset trends, supported by key price and time points (ZG), (1) is crucial for robust analysis; (2) minimizes degrees of freedom for machine learning or AI algorithms applied to market data; (3) helps separate order from noise/chaos in a fully consistent and internally coherent manner.
For discretionary traders, having a single valid interpretation of a trend (1) minimizes emotional fatigue caused by constant reinterpretation and subjective data selection, (2) establishes a foundation for objective pattern recognition, and (3) provides a layer of information such as the real time probability that perfectly complements any other indicator or approach.
📊 FIRST THINGS FIRST: A BIT OF THEORY…
Definition of ZG
A ZG signifies a consolidation or inflection point where the previous directional move might conclude. These formations are instrumental in the trend analysis of any asset, irrespective of the asset or timeframe. Formally, we define ZG_tf = (timestamp_zg, price_zg), indicating a ZG is represented as a pair consisting of its timestamp and price within a specified timeframe.
Types of ZGs
We categorize ZGs based on their directional implications:
✅ Bullish Reversal Zone (ZGA) – Regions where prices may rebound upward or consolidate following a downtrend.
✅ Bearish Reversal Zone (ZGB) – Regions where prices may reverse downward after an uptrend.
Furthermore, three distinct statuses are assigned to each ZG:
• Potential ZGs (ZGAPot and ZGBPot on the chart) – Zones anticipated to develop in the future, aiding in forecasting potential future trends.
• Current or Last Identified ZGs – The latest reversal zones detected for each timeframe.
• Confirmed ZGs – Validated zones that serve as static reference points delineating historical trends unequivocally.
📊 FUNCTIONALITY: WHAT IT DOES…
The ZG indicator is meant to be analyze objectively the trend of any asset. In order to do that, it needs to find the inflexion points in the time series that form the zig-zag shape of the trend. The ZG Indicator promptly identifies new ZGs without delay, illustrating both confirmed and identified ZGs, along with ranges for future Potential ZGs. Red labels indicate either confirmed or identified ZGBs, whereas green labels denote confirmed and identified ZGAs. The right side of the chart reveals the price ranges where future ZGs might materialize.
The indicator synthesizes data from two timeframes—the chart's timeframe and a larger one selected by the user—enabling a contextual comprehension of the asset's trend. Differentiated colors and labeling styles facilitate clear interpretation of the asset’s status.
Trigger levels altering the current trend…
Additionally, the ZG Indicator highlights trigger prices with dashed blue lines, signifying potential shifts in the trend for each selected timeframe in case they are passed.
Dynamic Fibonacci retracements utilized objectively and systematically…
The ZG Indicator leverages ZGAs and ZGBs to compute Fibonacci retracement areas (38.2%-61.8%) objectively for each timeframe, eliminating subjective selection of highs and lows typically seen in trading practices. Different colors help the user identify whether the Fibonacci retracements correspond to upward movements or downward movements.
Objective commentary interpreting the trend…
The trend analysis based on ZGs is entirely mathematical/objective, permitting only one valid interpretation. Users can enable comments, available in English or Spanish, detailing the current trend, trigger levels for trend changes, prospective ZG formation ranges, and the probability for each trend scenario of the last available candle.
📊 KEY FEATURES: HOW IT DOES IT…
The identification of either ZGA or ZGB -pivot points in a typically zig-zag shaped trend-, and future ZGAs and ZGBs relies on three foundational principles:
✅ Historical behavior... is examined to recognize price conditions that have usually met repeatedly in the past.
✅ Temporal dislocation... between trends of different magnitudes —such as short-term exhaustion within a still-intact longer-term trend— which often precedes a shift in market direction.
✅ Balance or imbalance between buying and selling pressure... when one side begins to weaken noticeably, it can signal an impending change in control, thereby increasing the likelihood of a reversal.
It uses the 4-ZG theorem, mathematically proven, in order to determine the trigger points that would unequivocally provoke a shift of the current trend into something different, as well as for the calculation of the probability attributable to each trend scenario —either bullish, sideways or bearish for each candle—, providing a real-time outcome as a readable comment that the user can leverage on to understand the strength of the trend.
The ZG Indicator is 100% original, as it uses our own proprietary algorithms protected by international intellectual property laws, devoid of public domain code. It operates independently of changeable parameters for individual assets. Key features include:
🔹100% Objective Approach for the identification of ZGs based on mathematical equation systems.
🔹No Repainting – Use of available information at the time, avoiding reinterpretation of past data.
🔹Early Detection – Since it is a price action indicator, there is no delay in the identification of new ZG. The use of highs and lows, instead of ZGs have practical limitations and lagging effects that can also be avoided with ZGs.
🔹Dual Timeframe Analysis – Integrates smaller and larger timeframes for enhanced trend context.
🔹Based on Trend Definition – higher ZGBs and higher ZGAs for bullish trend, lower ZGBs and lower ZGAs for bearish, and all other cases classified as sideways trend.
📊 HOW TO USE IT…
The user has only to read the comments provided for each timeframe to understand all the information provided by this indicator. The ZG Indicator is 100% self-explanatory, its outcome is directly usable, as it provides an objective interpretation as an unequivocal comment that any trader can understand and use right away. It is important to note that it only represents half of our comprehensive trend analysis, since our AT Indicator complements and augments the ZG Indicator's insights, providing the distribution of the probability assigned to bullish, sideways, and bearish trends over time, along with real-time assessments of current and future trends based on ZGs and potential ZGs. The combination of both indicators is recommended.
📊 AVAILABLE SETTINGS
The ZG Indicator offers a comprehensive settings window for full control of displayed information:
🔹 Number of ZGs for smaller timeframes (optimizable for TradingView performance)
🔹 Customizable colors for smaller timeframe ZG lines
🔹 Enable/Disable Fibonacci retracements for smaller timeframes

⚠️ Disclaimer: This indicator does not generate buy or sell signals. It is advised to use it alongside the AT Indicator and integrate it with additional technical analysis tools and risk management strategies.
TraderFa Automatic FVGhe Fair Value Gap (FVG) indicator is a powerful technical analysis tool that identifies market inefficiencies by highlighting Fair Value Gaps across multiple timeframes. Discover key trading zones where institutions might be active—don’t miss your edge!
Introduction to the FVG Indicator
The Fair Value Gap indicator is designed to automatically detect areas of price imbalance—commonly referred to as Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)—directly on your chart. These zones occur when price moves aggressively in one direction, leaving behind a gap that represents a lack of order matching, and often becomes a magnet for future price action.
The concept is widely used by professional traders and is deeply rooted in liquidity-based analysis and institutional trading logic.
Key Features
Multi-timeframe FVG detection (up to 4 timeframes simultaneously):
Gain a layered perspective by monitoring price gaps on different timeframes all at once.
Automatic detection of bullish and bearish FVGs:
Highlighted zones where price surged or dropped too quickly—potential reaction areas.
Option to display or hide mitigated gaps:
You can choose to keep showing gaps that have already been filled or remove them from view.
Custom color settings for each timeframe:
Assign different colors for bullish and bearish gaps in each timeframe for better visual clarity.
How the Indicator Works
Utilizing the capabilities of Pine Script, the indicator fetches data such as high, low, open, and time from higher timeframes and compares it with current candles to detect valid FVGs.
The detection logic is based on:
A bullish FVG forms when the low of the current candle is higher than the high of two candles ago.
A bearish FVG forms when the high of the current candle is lower than the low of two candles ago.
These gaps are then visualized using boxes and labels, and updated or removed depending on whether the price has returned to fill the gap.
Use Cases in Trading
Reveal hidden liquidity zones:
Institutional traders often place orders around FVGs. Identifying these can help pinpoint high-probability entries.
Set precise entry, exit, or target zones:
Use gaps to identify potential reversal or continuation zones with minimal risk exposure.
Optimize multi-timeframe confluence:
Seeing FVGs from various timeframes simultaneously allows you to discover overlapping zones—excellent for timing trades with confidence.
Customizable Settings :
Enable/disable each of the four timeframes independently
Select your desired timeframe for each layer
Pick unique colors for bullish and bearish gaps
Show or hide mitigated (filled) gaps based on strategy
F inal Thoughts
The FVG indicator is a refined, high-precision tool built for traders who use price action and liquidity principles. Whether you're scalping or trading swing setups, this indicator offers an edge by visually representing inefficiencies in price—helping you anticipate where price is likely to react.
Ready to see the market through the lens of institutional behavior? Add the FVG indicator to your chart today and start spotting the gaps that really matter.
FVG TheoryThe indicator is intended to facilitate trading with FVGs. It consists of 3 components:
1. Swings:
A swing is a 3-candle formation based on the Williams Fractal Indicator.
The interaction with the last swing is always displayed as a red line. This allows you to recognize the last interaction directly and draw conclusions about the further course of the price (sweep / break).
In addition, the closest fractal is always shown as a green line, which acts as a potential target.
2. FVGs:
FVGs are also known as Inbalance, it is a 3 candle formation where a gap is created in the market. The market often runs into this and reacts.
If the market reacts from an imbalance before it has reached the swing low in the bullish case, the next FVG appears in a different color.
This formation has more power and is therefore color-coded.
If the FVG is particularly strong, measured by the fact that the 3rd candle in the formation breaks the 2nd candle with a candle body, this is marked with a small arrow in the FVG (break away gap).
3. overlapping
If there is a structure point within an FVG (order block, significant swing), a line is drawn there.
These overlaps have a higher confluence than FVGs alone. The wick is preferred, but if there is no overlap, the body of the structure is used.
The line thickness and colors are individually adjustable.

RVOL Effort Matrix💪🏻 RVOL Effort Matrix is a tiered volume framework that translates crowd participation into structure-aware visual zones. Rather than simply flagging spikes, it measures each bar’s volume as a ratio of its historical average and assigns to that effort dynamic tiers, creating a real-time map of conviction , exhaustion , and imbalance —before price even confirms.
⚖️ At its core, the tool builds a histogram of relative volume (RVOL). When enabled, a second layer overlays directional effort by estimating buy vs sell volume using candle body logic. If the candle closes higher, green (buy) volume dominates. If it closes lower, red (sell) volume leads. These components are stacked proportionally and inset beneath a colored cap line—a small but powerful layer that maintains visibility of the true effort tier even when split bars are active. The cap matches the original zone color, preserving context at all times.
Coloration communicates rhythm, tempo, and potential turning points:
• 🔴 = structurally weak effort, i.e. failed moves, fake-outs or trend exhaustion
• 🟡 = neutral volume, as seen in consolidations or pullbacks
• 🟢 = genuine commitment, good for continuation, breakout filters, or early rotation signals
• 🟣 = explosive volume signaling either climax or institutional entry—beware!
Background shading (optional) mirrors these zones across the pane for structural scanning at a glance. Volume bars can be toggled between full-stack mode or clean column view. Every layer is modular—built for composability with tools like ZVOL or OBVX Conviction Bias.
🧐 Ideal Use-Cases:
• 🕰 HTF bias anchoring → LTF execution
• 🧭 Identifying when structure is being driven by real crowd pressure
• 🚫 Fading green/fuchsia bars that fail to break structure
• ✅ Riding green/fuchsia follow-through in directional moves
🍷 Recommended Pairings:
• ZVOL for statistically significant volume anomaly detection
• OBVX Conviction Bias ↔️ for directional confirmation of effort zones
• SUPeR TReND 2.718 for structure-congruent entry filtering
• ATR Turbulence Ribbon to distinguish expansion pressure from churn
🥁 RVOL Effort Matrix is all about seeing—how much pressure is behind a move, whether that pressure is sustainable, and whether the crowd is aligned with price. It's volume, but readable. It’s structure, but dynamic. It’s the difference between obeying noise and trading to the beat of the market.
Radi IQ [TradingIQ]Introducing "Radi IQ".
Radi IQ is a comprehensive market structure indicator designed to provide traders with a detailed view of key price levels and market behavior. It combines several analytical methods—including internal and external structure analysis, fair value gaps, order blocks, breaker blocks, rejection blocks, premium discount zones, equal levels, directional liquidity grabs, and trend meters —to help users better understand areas of support and resistance, potential turning points, and liquidity events in the market.
Key Components and Their Functions
Market Structure Analysis
Internal and External Structure : The indicator evaluates market structure on two levels. The internal analysis focuses on immediate price action (e.g., recent support/resistance and swing points), while the external analysis uses a higher timeframe to provide context. This dual approach helps to confirm the strength of key levels by comparing short-term moves with the broader market trend.
Break of Structure (BoS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) : These signals highlight moments when the market shifts its behavior. A BoS indicates that a previous level of support or resistance has been overcome, while a CHoCH signals a change in the market’s character. Both are marked clearly on the chart using distinct color codes.
Break of Structure + (BoS+) and Change of Character + (CHoCH+) : These signals highlight moments when the market shifts its behavior and is confirmed by prior price action. A BoS + indicates that a previous level of support or resistance has been overcome, while price action achieves higher highs and higher lows (resistance break) or lower highs and lower lows (support break). CHoCH + signals a change in the market’s character when supported by prior price action - lower highs for a support break and higher lows for a resistance break.
BoS and CHoCH
The image above shows BoS and CHoCH identified on the price chart, and explains what each signifies.
A Break Of Structure (BoS) occurs when price decisively moves beyond a previously established support or resistance level. It indicates that the current trend or market pattern is being challenged, and the market may be ready to change direction.
A Change of Character (CHoCH) describes a shift in how the market behaves. A CHoCH occurs when, in an uptrend, a previously established support level breaks, or in a downtrend, a previously established resistance level breaks.
This break indicates that the market's typical structure is shifting, suggesting that the current trend may be losing its strength and that a reversal or a new trend could be developing.
CHoCH+
The image above explains CHoCH+ and how it forms, while highlighting an instance where a downside CHoCH+ formed following lower highs.
A Change of Character + (CHoCH+) describes a shift in how the market behaves that is supported by prior price action. For support breaks, price must form lower highs before breaking support.
The image above explains CHoCH+ for resistance breaks, while highlighting an instance where a resistance point broke that was supported by prior price action.
BoS+
The image above explains BoS+ and how it forms, while highlighting an instance where an upside BoS+ formed following higher highs and higher lows.
A BoS+ resistance break requires higher highs and higher lows prior to the resistance point being closed over.
The image above explains BoS+ support break, while highlighting an instance where a downside BoS+ formed following lower highs and lower lows.
A BoS+ support break requires lower highs and lower lows prior to the support point being closed under.
Future BoS and CHoCH
Radi IQ also displays where the next BoS and CHoCH points are located.
The image above shows the feature in action. With this, traders will always know where the next key support/resistance breakpoints are before they actually occur.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
The indicator identifies gaps in the price where little or no trading occurred—known as fair value gaps. These gaps can act as temporary support or resistance and may indicate areas where the market is likely to correct. FVGs are displayed with clear color gradients that differentiate between upward and downward gaps.
The image above shows an identified upside FVG. In the image, the identified upside FVG acted as a support point for price.
The image above shows an identified downside FVG. In the image, the identified downside FVG acted as a resistance point for price.
Low Volume FVG
In addition to identifying trading FVGs - Radi IQ can also specifically detect low volume fair value gaps. Ideally, these fair value gaps will form inside a low volume node on a volume profile.
Low volume node FVGs are important because these are areas where very little trading occurred and is confirmable, indicating an imbalance in supply and demand. Since few trades took place there, the market often moves quickly through these zones when revisited, which can lead to rapid price changes. This "gap" in trading activity can serve as a signal for potential reversals or fast moves, offering opportunities to enter or exit positions based on expected market behavior.
The image above shows identified FVGs that formed on low volume.
Large Area FVGs
Radi IQ is also capable of filtering out “inconsequential” FVGs. With this, Radi IQ can be enabled to only mark FVGs that cover a wide price range.
The image above shows the feature enabled, and all identified FVGs formed with a wide price range.
Large Area FVGs and Low Volume FVGs Combined
Traders can also enable Radi IQ to only mark FVGs that form on low volume and have a wide price range - allowing traders to only identify the highest quality FVGs on the chart.
Order Blocks and Premium Discount Zones
Order Blocks: Radi IQ detects areas where large orders have previously been placed by institutional traders. These blocks can act as strong levels of support or resistance, and the indicator marks bullish and bearish order blocks with dedicated colors.
What is an order block?
Order blocks are clusters of orders that institutions have executed to enter or exit a market position. They typically form when there is a period of consolidation before a significant move. For example, the last bullish candle before a strong down move may indicate a supply order block, while the last bearish candle before a sharp rally might be considered a demand order block.
Why They Form:
Institutions don’t trade in small, sporadic amounts; they accumulate or distribute large volumes of an asset. To avoid slippage and minimize market impact, they execute these orders over a zone rather than at a single price point. This creates a recognizable “block” on the chart.
Order Block Identification Types
Strength Score
The “Strength Score” order block detection mode is a TradingIQ proprietary ranking system for identified order blocks.
Purpose
The purpose of the “Strength Score” ranking system is to determine the “strength” or significance of an order block and rate the zone’s likelihood to act as support/resistance when retested in the future.
The scoring system ranks from 0 - 10, with “0” indicating a “weak” score or low likelihood of acting as a key support/resistance level when retested in the future.
A rating of “5” indicates a “moderate” score, indicating that the order block has a moderate likelihood of acting as a key support/resistance level when retested in the future.
A rating of “10” indicates a “strong” score, indicating that the order block has a strong likelihood of acting as a key support/resistance level when retested in the future.
How It Works
The score is calculated by examining the price move following the formation of an order block. The stronger the price move after an order block forms - the higher the Strength Score.
The image above shows a bearish order block with a score of “5” identified on the chart. The order block successfully operates as a resistance point when retested.
The image above shows a bullish order block with a score of “5” identified on the chart. The order block successfully operates as a resistance point when retested.
Volume-Based
The volume-based order block detection method detects traditional order blocks, but goes one step further by identifying the highest concentration point of volume for the bar and drawing the order block around this concentration point.
Key features when using the volume-based order block detection method:
The top of the order block is anchored to the top of the highest volume concentration point of the bar
The bottom of the order block is anchored to the bottom of the highest volume concentration point of the bar
The total volume that went into creation of the order block is displayed on the chart
The total volume of the order block is recorded as a percentage relative to the total volume for all order blocks on the chart
The image above shows the detection method in action.
Breaker Blocks
A breaker block is a specific type of order block that gains significance when price breaks through it and then often retests the level as a new area of support or resistance. Essentially, it’s a zone where, after the initial break, the previous level (which once acted as strong support or resistance) flips roles. For example, in an uptrend, if the price falls below a key support level, that level can become a breaker block and act as resistance if the price tries to move back up. Conversely, in a downtrend, a broken resistance level can serve as new support. Traders monitor breaker blocks because they often mark a shift in market sentiment and can provide potential entry or exit points once the market re-engages with these levels.
The image above shows a breaker block above price acting as resistance.
The image above shows a breaker block below price acting as support.
Rejection Blocks
A rejection block is a price area where the market shows a strong unwillingness to move beyond a certain level. This typically happens when price approaches a specific level but then is quickly rejected, leading to a bounce in the opposite direction. In other words, a rejection block forms when traders' orders create a barrier, causing the price to reverse rather than break through. Traders watch these areas closely, as they often signal a strong concentration of supply or demand that could provide potential entry or exit points for trades.
The image above shows both a verified upside rejection block acting as resistance, and an untested downside rejection block.
Rejection blocks are expected to function as strong support/resistance points when retested in the future.
Premium Discount Zones
Premium Discount Zones : These zones reflect areas where price is trading above (premium) or below (discount) a fair value range. They help traders gauge whether the current market price is relatively high or low compared to historical averages.
Premium Discount Zones account for recent swing highs and lows to calculate a fair value along with discount and premium prices over an intermediate time window.
The image above shows the premium and discount price zones in action.
Equal Levels
The indicator also tracks and highlights equal levels, which occur when the market repeatedly tests the same price levels. Equal levels can reinforce the significance of a support or resistance area and are represented by their own set of color markers.
The image above shows Radi IQ distinguishing equal highs and equal lows.
Equal Highs
When you see two or more highs that are approximately the same, it suggests that the market is repeatedly rejecting attempts to push higher. This signals a strong resistance level where sellers (or stop-hunters) are active.
Equal Lows
Similarly, consecutive lows at the same level indicate strong support, where buyers step in consistently, preventing further decline.
Strong Highs and Lows
Strong High
A strong high is a price level where the market repeatedly fails to push higher. Typically, it’s characterized by:
Rejection: Price approaches the high but then reverses sharply, often leaving long upper wicks on the candlestick chart.
Consolidation: Multiple bars might show highs that are very close in value (often termed "equal highs"), indicating a well-established resistance zone.
Market Sentiment: This pattern suggests that sellers are actively defending that level, preventing further upward movement.
Strong Lows
Conversely, a strong low is a price level where the market repeatedly fails to break lower. It is identified by:
Bounce Back: Price touches the low and then rebounds sharply, often leaving long lower wicks.
Consistency: Multiple lows occur around the same level (sometimes referred to as "equal lows"), marking a solid support area.
Market Sentiment: This indicates that buyers are stepping in at that level, absorbing selling pressure and supporting the price.
The image above shows Radi IQ detecting both a strong high and strong low, while the detected strong low acts as support when retested.
Liquidity Grabs
Liquidity grabs occur when the market temporarily moves to absorb liquidity, often triggering stop-loss orders and leading to rapid price movements. Radi IQ flags these events by identifying conditions where price moves against recent pivots, helping traders spot potential liquidity-related reversals or breakouts.
The image above shows Radi IQ identifying both an upside liquidity grab and a downside liquidity grab.
Upside Liquidity Grab (Bearish)
An upside liquidity grab happens when the price moves above a well-known resistance area or recent high. This move is often short-lived.
Many traders place stop-loss orders or pending buy orders just above resistance levels. Institutional players may intentionally push price upward to trigger these orders, thereby “grabbing” the liquidity available at that level.
Downside Liquidity Grab (Bullish)
A downside liquidity grab is the mirror image: the price briefly dips below a key support level or recent low.
Traders often place stop-loss orders or pending sell orders just below support levels. An intentional drop below this support can trigger these stops, allowing institutional players to capture liquidity.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis and Swings
By using data from different timeframes, Radi IQ offers a broader perspective on market trends. It highlights significant swing highs and swing lows, providing visual cues that indicate the market’s directional bias. This feature assists traders in identifying both short-term opportunities and long-term trends.
The image above shows Radi IQ detecting higher swings and lower swings.
IQ Meters / Fibometer
IQ Meters (Fibometers) are a proprietary TradingIQ tool that allows traders to easily identify the highs and lows of the current trend and where current price is relative to these points.
The image above depicts the IQ Meters—an exclusive TradingIQ tool designed to help traders evaluate trend strength and retracement opportunities.
When the lower timeframe Zig Zag IQ and the higher timeframe Zig Zag IQ are out of sync (i.e., one is uptrending while the other is downtrending, with no active positions), the meters display a neutral color as shown in the image.
The key to using these meters is to identify trend unison and pinpoint key trend retracement entry opportunities. Fibonacci retracement levels for the current trend are interlaced along each meter, and the current price is converted to a retracement ratio of the trend.
These meters can mathematically determine where price stands relative to the larger and smaller trends, aiding in identifying entry opportunities.
The top of each meter indicates the highest price achieved during the current price move.
The bottom of each meter indicates the lowest price achieved during the current price move.
When both the larger and smaller trends are in sync and uptrending, or when a long position is active, the IQ meters turn green, indicating uptrend strength.
When both meters are green, it indicates uptrend strength as both the higher timeframe trend and lower timeframe trend are in unison. Look for price to retrace to key fibonacci retracement levels during this time period.
When both trends are in sync and downtrending, or when a short position is active, the IQ meters turn red, indicating downtrend strength.
When both meters are red, it indicates downtrend strength as both the higher timeframe trend and lower timeframe trend are in unison. Look for price to retrace to key fibonacci retracement levels during this time period.

Supply & Demand Zones
_____________________________________________________________________
Supply and Demand Zones
This indicator displays valid Supply and Demand zones on any chart and timeframe, using dynamically updating visuals. Users can see the moment that zones become validated, used, and then invalidated during live sessions. It is sleek, lightweight, and offers a feature-rich settings panel that allows customization of how each element appears and functions. Zones can enhance the probability of successful trades by locating areas that are most likely to contain resting orders of Supply or Demand, which are needed for price reversals.
Disclaimer
____________________
Like all indicators, this can be a valuable tool when incorporated into a comprehensive, risk-based trading system.
Supply and Demand is not the same thing as Support and Resistance.
Trading based on price hitting a zone without understanding which zones are of higher quality and which are of lower quality (only discernible with a trained human eye) will yield poor results.
Supply and Demand works well as a system and even better when added to an existing one. However, like all effective trading techniques, it requires diligent study, practice, and repetition to become proficient. This is an indicator for use with Supply and Demand concepts, not a replacement for learning them.
Features
____________________
Once a valid candle sequence is confirmed, a box will appear that displays the zone over the precise zone range. At 50% zone penetration, a zone becomes used , and at 100% it becomes invalidated . Each of these zone classifications changes the behavior of the zone on the chart immediately. The settings panel offers custom colors for Supply , Demand , Used , and Invalidated zone types.
Borders : The subtle border colors can be changed or hidden.
Boxes or Bases : Advanced users can opt to hide zone boxes and instead display small, subtle tags over base candle groups. This allows for more customizable selection over what is displayed and how.
Max Zones and Hide Invalidated :
There are limitations on how many objects TradingView allows at once. Because of this, once zones go from used to invalidated , they are hidden (deleted) by default. This allows the zones index to be allocated to display more valid , usable zones instead. If a user prefers to keep invalidated zones visible, they can be enabled; however, this will result in showing more recent zones for fewer historical zones.
All zones share one pool, so if you allow fifty max zones, forty-five might be supply while five might be demand on a big sell-off trend. You will always see the most recent zones, regardless of type or status.
It’s up to you how much clutter you want on your screen and how much improved load time you want - but once loaded, zone creation and function are always instantaneous.
Load Time
____________________
Load time refers to the time it takes from when you switch tickers or timeframes before the zones are displayed initially. There is zero lag in the dynamic function and minimal load time, regardless of settings. However, if you are a fine-tuner or multi-screener, the number of Max Zones displayed is the only major variable affecting load time.
I run everything at Max when I develop. When I trade, I run mine at 25 max zones because I change timeframes often and want a very quick display of zones when I do. I have invalidated hidden, and simply enable it if I want to check an old zone. This gives me more zones than I need and reduces the load time to right where I like it.
Thresholds
____________________
It is recommended to leave these as the default.
Base Body Threshold : Determines the maximum ratio of a candle’s body to wick before invalidation. Default (50% or 0.5). A higher number loosens thresholds, resulting in more zones being displayed.
Unrequire 2nd FT if LO is Strong & Strength Multiplier :
The standard logic sequence requires two Follow-Through candles. Under some strong price movement, Leg-Out candles can make an explosive directional move from a base, making a convincing argument for supply and demand perfectly at work, if not for a single Follow-Through candle instead of two.
By enabling this feature, you can tell the script to ignore second Follow-Through candles, if and only if, the Leg-Out candle's range is (Strength) X the base range. exceeds the range of the Base by a factor of X (Strength). ie: At 5x, this would require a Leg-Out range to be 500% the range of the Base.
If enabled and the Leg-Out is not strong enough, the default logic kicks in, and a second follow-through candle will validate the zone as per usual. This loosens thresholds overall and should result in more zones.
Recommended Usage
____________________
Form a thesis using your primary trend trading system (eg: Elliott Wave, Structure Reversal, TheStrat, et al) to identify locations of a pullback for a long or short entry.
Identify a pullback area using your system, then use this indicator to find a high-quality zone on your chosen timeframe.
Once located, draw your own channel over the indicator's zone box. Start on 1m, check for zones, 2m, 3m, and so on. When you see a zone you like, recreate it; thus, when finished, you can see every timeframe’s highest-quality zones that you created, regardless of what timeframe you switch to. Tip: Be selective
To make the process faster, save a channel design in settings for “Demand” and one for “Supply”, then you can quickly get through this process in less than a minute with practice.
Optional: Use additional methods (eg: Fibonacci retracements, Elliott Wave Theory, Anchored VWAPs) to find congruent confirmation.
Version 1.0
____________________
No known bugs remain from the closed beta.
In Development
____________________
Powerful combination zones occur when standard zone sequences are extended with additional levels of demand or supply by adding more conditionals to the state machine logic. Got this mostly working in a dev version and it adds minimal extra resources. Set aside to polish a clean standard 1.0 for release first, but now displaying these extended zones is my top priority for next version.
MTF support is essentially working in a dev copy, but adds resources. Not sure if it is in the spirit of price action being the primary focus of a chart for serious traders, rather than indicators. If there is demand for it, I'll consider it.
Additional Threshold Settings

CVD Divergence Insights📘 CVD Divergence Insights – by Colicoid
Pine Script v6 | Volume Delta Divergence Oscillator with Spike Detection
⸻
🔍 Overview
CVD Divergence Insights is a volume-aware oscillator and divergence spike detector that helps you spot smart money activity, absorption, failed pressure, and hidden strength or weakness — even when price action alone gives little away.
It works by comparing normalized Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) against normalized price movement, and optionally applying a volume-weighting layer to highlight when aggressive participation is truly behind the divergence. The result is a dynamic visual tool that identifies tension in the market, and helps you trade based on how that tension resolves.
⸻
🧠 Core Concept
• When price moves one way and CVD moves another, it reflects imbalance between aggression and result.
• Divergence is not a trigger — it’s a build-up of pressure.
• The real edge lies in the resolution of that pressure.
• Optional volume-weighting helps you ignore noise and focus on high-conviction moves only.
⸻
⚙️ How It Works
1. CVD Calculation
CVD is generated using lower-timeframe delta volume (buy vs. sell pressure), accumulated per bar.
2. Oscillator
A normalized divergence between the smoothed CVD and smoothed price.
3. Volume Weighting (optional)
Emphasizes divergences occurring on higher-than-normal volume, deprioritizes low-volume noise.
4. Signal Line (optional)
A short EMA of the oscillator to help track momentum shifts (hidden by default).
5. Divergence Spikes
Statistical spike detection using standard deviation — green/red dots highlight unusually large divergence activity.
⸻
🎛️ Inputs
Anchor Period
Higher timeframe where the CVD is accumulated and processed.
Lower Timeframe
Optional override for granularity of buy/sell volume data.
SMA Length
Used for smoothing both price and CVD before divergence is calculated.
Volume Weighted?
Enables adaptive weighting based on relative volume size.
Volume Normalization Length
Lookback period used to define what is “normal” volume.
Divergence Spike Threshold
StdDev-based threshold to detect abnormally large divergences.
Signal Line Length
Controls the EMA smoothing of the optional signal line (hidden by default).
⸻
📈 Trade Setup Example: Hidden Bullish Divergence
1. Price forms a higher low, but CVD forms a lower low — hidden bullish divergence.
2. This shows aggressive sellers are trying, but price is resilient — likely absorption.
3. You wait for a "convergent signal bar":
• A bullish candle with strong structure or body
• Confirmed by CVD starting to turn upward
4. That’s your trigger bar — the tension resolves upward.
⸻
🤝 Recommended Pairings
For best results, combine CVD Divergence Insights with the companion script:
🔗 Cumulative Volume Delta Line (also by Colicoid)
This lets you:
• See the raw CVD line and its SMA visually
• Spot standard and hidden divergences in price/CVD directly
• Use the Insights indicator to evaluate divergence quality and flag aggressive bull/bear behavior
• Use the same SMA length on both indicators for alignment
👉 Tip: To save screen space, drag the CVD Line indicator into the same panel as CVD Divergence Insights.
⸻
🧰 Why Use This?
• ✅ Catch absorption setups and failed pressure zones
• ✅ Filter out low-quality divergences using volume context
• ✅ Understand why price is hesitating or breaking out
• ✅ Add smart confirmation to breakout/reversal trades
• ✅ Align your execution with who’s actually in control

Basic Pivot-Based S/R with Stopping LinesBasic Pivot-Based S/R with Intrabar Pressure Analysis
Overview:
This indicator identifies potential support and resistance levels based on a combination of traditional pivot point analysis and a unique intrabar volume pressure assessment. It goes beyond simply identifying pivot highs and lows; it qualifies these pivots by examining the underlying buying and selling pressure within the candles that form the pivot. This approach aims to identify stronger, more reliable support and resistance levels than those based on price action alone.
Core Concepts and Calculations:
Pivot Points: The indicator uses the standard ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions to detect pivot highs and lows. The user can choose whether to use the candle wicks ("Wick" mode) or the candle bodies ("Body" mode) for pivot detection. The leftBars and rightBars parameters control the number of bars on either side of the pivot used in the calculation.
Intrabar Volume Pressure: This is the indicator's key differentiator. It analyzes the volume distribution within each candle by accessing data from a lower timeframe (specified by the user, defaulting to 1-second data). For each candle:
Up Volume: The total volume associated with price increases within the candle is calculated (on the lower timeframe). This uses the volume multiplied by how much the price has moved up.
Down Volume: The total volume associated with price decreases within the candle is calculated (on the lower timeframe). This uses the volume multiplied by how much the price has moved down.
These up and down volumes are then summed across all lower timeframe candles.
Pressure Imbalance at Pivots: The indicator then checks for a specific condition at each identified pivot point
These lines are dynamic. They continue to extend to the right as long as the price does not decisively cross them.
A support line (green) stops extending if the price closes below the line.
A resistance line (red) stops extending if the price closes above the line. *This behavior reflects the idea that a support/resistance level is "validated" as long as the price respects it and "invalidated" once the price breaks through.
Interpretation and Usage:
The core idea is that a pivot point where the internal volume pressure contradicts the external price action (e.g., a green candle with more selling pressure) is a stronger and more reliable support or resistance level. This suggests that there's hidden buying or selling interest at that level, which may not be immediately obvious from the candlestick pattern alone.
Green Lines (Support): Indicate potential areas where buyers are likely to step in, even if the price is currently declining. These are levels where buying pressure was surprisingly strong despite a red candle forming at a pivot low.
Red Lines (Resistance): Indicate potential areas where sellers are likely to emerge, even if the price is currently rising. These are levels where selling pressure was surprisingly strong despite a green candle forming at a pivot high.
Line Extensions: The length of the line indicates how long the support or resistance level has held. Longer lines suggest stronger, more established levels.
Line Breaks: When a line stops extending, it indicates that the support or resistance level has been broken. This can be a signal of a potential trend change or a breakout.
Advantages:
Combines Price and Volume: Integrates both price action (pivots) and volume information (intrabar pressure) for a more comprehensive analysis.
Identifies "Hidden" S/R: Highlights support and resistance levels that might be missed by traditional pivot analysis.
Dynamic Lines: The lines adapt to market conditions, extending only as long as the S/R level remains valid.
Simple Visualization: Uses clear, horizontal lines for easy identification of potential support and resistance.
High Resolution Data: Uses data from a user selectable lower timeframe for better accuracy.
Limitations:
Lower Timeframe Data Dependency: The accuracy of the intrabar pressure analysis depends on the availability and quality of lower timeframe data.
Parameter Sensitivity: The indicator's performance is influenced by the pivot detection parameters (leftBars, rightBars) and the chosen lowerTimeframe.
Not a Standalone System: This indicator, like all indicators, should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis and as part of a complete trading strategy.
In summary, this indicator offers a refined approach to identifying support and resistance levels by combining classic pivot point analysis with a detailed examination of the volume dynamics within the candles that form those pivots. This provides a more nuanced view of buying and selling pressure, potentially leading to the identification of stronger and more reliable S/R levels.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detector Fair Value Gap (FVG) is an imbalance in price action that occurs when there is a strong displacement (big movement) in the market, leaving a gap between wicks. This gap represents an area where price moved too quickly, and liquidity was not fully filled.
Traders use FVGs as potential areas where price might retrace and react before continuing in the original direction.
