XAU 1H Clean Confluence — Micro Table v2XAU 1H Clean Confluence — Micro Table
What it is
A clean, low-clutter 1-hour XAUUSD indicator that summarizes confluences in a compact on-chart table. It’s designed for traders who want structure + momentum + location without covering the chart in drawings.
Best used on: ICMARKETS:XAUUSD or your broker’s XAUUSD feed, 1H timeframe.
Style: Table-only by default (optional EMA200 line and tiny signal markers).
How signals are built (long example; shorts mirror)
A Long Confluence is printed when all of the below are true:
Trend alignment: EMA20 > EMA50 > EMA200
Pullback & re-engage: price crossed back above EMA20 after a pullback
RSI regime: RSI(14) crosses up through 50 (trend confirmation)
Displacement/imbalance: a 3-candle Bull FVG exists (low > high )
Structure: either a BOS up or CHOCH up via swing pivots (pivotLen input)
Sweep (optional): if enabled, require a sweep of Asian Low and/or PDL first
Time gating (optional): only during London/NY windows and outside news windows
Short signals use the mirrored conditions (EMA stack down, cross back below EMA20, RSI cross down through 50, Bear FVG, BOS/CHOCH down, optional Asian High/PDH sweep).
Bid/Ask Volume Tension with Rolling Avg📊 Bid/Ask Volume Tension with Rolling Average
This indicator is designed to help traders identify pivotal moments of buildup, exhaustion, or imbalance in the market by calculating the tension between buy and sell volume.
🔍 How It Works:
Buy volume is approximated when the candle closes higher than or equal to its open.
Sell volume is approximated when the candle closes below its open.
Both are smoothed using an EMA (Exponential Moving Average) for noise reduction.
Tension is calculated as the absolute difference between smoothed buy and sell volume.
A rolling average of tension shows the baseline for normal behavior.
When instant tension rises significantly above the rolling average, it often signals:
A build-up before a large move
Aggressive order flow imbalances
Potential reversals or breakouts
🧠 How to Use:
Watch the orange line (instant tension) for spikes above the aqua line (rolling average).
Purple background highlights show when tension exceeds a customizable multiple of the average — a potential setup zone.
Use this indicator alongside:
Price action (candlestick structure)
Support/resistance
Liquidity zones or order blocks
⚙️ Settings:
Smoothing Length: Controls the responsiveness of buy/sell volume smoothing.
Rolling Avg Window: Defines the lookback period for the baseline tension.
Buildup Threshold: Triggers highlight zones when tension exceeds this multiple of the average.
🧪 Best For:
Spotting pre-breakout tension
Detecting volume-based divergences
Confirming order flow imbalances

ICT Immediate Rebalance Toolkit [LuxAlgo]The ICT Immediate Rebalance Toolkit is a comprehensive suite of tools crafted to aid traders in pinpointing crucial trading zones and patterns within the market.
The ICT Immediate Rebalance, although frequently overlooked, emerges as one of ICT's most influential concepts, particularly when considered within a specific context. The toolkit integrates commonly used price action tools to be utilized in conjunction with the Immediate Rebalance patterns, enriching the capacity to discern context for improved trading decisions.
The ICT Immediate Rebalance Toolkit encompasses the following Price Action components:
ICT Immediate Rebalance
Buyside/Sellside Liquidity
Order Blocks & Breaker Blocks
Liquidity Voids
ICT Macros
🔶 USAGE
🔹 ICT Immediate Rebalance
What is an Immediate Rebalance?
Immediate rebalances, a concept taught by ICT, hold significant importance in decision-making. To comprehend the concept of immediate rebalance, it's essential to grasp the notion of the fair value gap. A fair value gap arises from market inefficiencies or imbalances, whereas an immediate rebalance leaves no gap, no inefficiencies, or no imbalances that the price would need to return to.
Rule of Thumb
After an immediate rebalance, the expectation is for two extension candles to follow; otherwise, the immediate rebalance is considered failed. It's important to highlight that both failed and successful immediate rebalances, when considered within a context, are significant signatures in trading.
Immediate rebalances can occur anywhere and in any timeframe.
🔹 Buyside/Sellside Liquidity
In the context of Inner Circle Trader's teachings, liquidity primarily refers to the presence of stop losses or pending orders, that indicate concentrations of buy or sell orders at specific price levels. Institutional traders, like banks and large financial entities, frequently aim for these liquidity levels or pools to accumulate or distribute their positions.
Buyside liquidity denotes a chart level where short sellers typically position their stops, while Sellside liquidity indicates a level where long-biased traders usually place their stops. These zones often serve as support or resistance levels, presenting potential trading opportunities.
The presentation applied here is the multi-timeframe version of our previously published Buyside-Sellside-Liquidity script.
🔹 Order Blocks & Breaker Blocks
Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks hold significant importance in technical analysis and play a crucial role in shaping market behavior.
Order blocks are fundamental elements of price action analysis used by traders to identify key levels in the market where significant buying or selling activity has occurred. These blocks represent areas on a price chart where institutional traders, banks, or large market participants have placed substantial buy or sell orders, leading to a temporary imbalance in supply and demand.
Breaker blocks, also known as liquidity clusters or pools, complement order blocks by identifying zones where liquidity is concentrated on the price chart. These areas, formed from mitigated order blocks, often act as significant barriers to price movement, potentially leading to price stalls or reversals in the future.
🔹 Liquidity Voids
Liquidity voids are sudden price changes when the price jumps from one level to another. Liquidity voids will appear as a single or a group of candles that are all positioned in the same direction. These candles typically have large real bodies and very short wicks, suggesting very little disagreement between buyers and sellers.
Here is our previously released Liquidity-Voids script.
🔹 ICT Macros
In the context of ICT's teachings, a macro is a small program or set of instructions that unfolds within an algorithm, which influences price movements in the market. These macros operate at specific times and can be related to price runs from one level to another or certain market behaviors during specific time intervals. They help traders anticipate market movements and potential setups during specific time intervals.
Here is our previously released ICT-Macros script.

iFVG (BPR)
This indicator detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Inversion Zones (iFVGs) based concept from the ICT methodology.
An iFVG forms when a bullish and a bearish FVG overlap, creating a double imbalance zone. These are high-reaction points often targeted by smart money.
🔷 What It Detects
Bullish FVG: When the high of Candle 1 is lower than the low of Candle 3
Bearish FVG: When the low of Candle 1 is higher than the high of Candle 3
iFVG (or BPR): When a bullish and bearish FVG overlap, forming a double imbalance zone
🔷Mitigation Logic
An FVG or BPR becomes an iFVG when price closes against its original bias Once this happens, the zone is reclassified as a potential support or resistance (iFVG)
If price later mitigates the iFVG, all visual elements are automatically removed to keep the chart clean
🔷Visual Output
Standard FVGs: Customizable lines between Candle 1 and Candle 3
iFVGs (mitigated BPRs): Adjustable and highlighted rectangles to show the full zone
Mitigation Type: FVG or iFVG zones disappear when 50% of the zone is reached
🔷Custom Settings
Show Last Zones: Set how many recent zones to display on the chart (max 100)
Mitigation Type: Based on the percentage of zone coverage
Color & Style: Customize the appearance of FVG and iFVG zones
🔷 Use Case
This indicator is designed for real-time institutional analysis, helping traders identify:
Recent imbalances (FVGs)
Confluence zones (iFVGs = BPRs)
High-reaction points in the market
Ideal when combined with market structure, liquidity levels, and Kill Zones
Best used in combination with market structure, liquidity zones, and Kill Zone timing .
Akkerman IMB + Targets IndicatorAkkerman IMB + Targets Indicator
The Akkerman IMB + Targets Indicator is a powerful tool for traders who use the Smart Money Concept (SMC) methodology for intraday trading. This indicator combines several key elements of technical analysis, such as IMB (Imbalance) zones, liquidity zones, and intraday targets, to help traders identify significant levels on the chart for potential entry and exit points.
Main Features of the Indicator:
IMB (Imbalance) Zones:
The indicator detects IMB zones (imbalances) on the chart, which are often significant for the market because these zones can signal unsupported price moves where the market may either retrace or continue the move.
Green box — indicates a bullish IMB, where the price moves downward but does not reach the previous "low" level.
Red box — indicates a bearish IMB, where the price moves upward but does not reach the previous "high" level.
Liquidity Zones:
The indicator automatically identifies liquidity zones, which are critical levels for potential retracements or breakouts. These zones are determined by equal highs and lows on the chart (where the price has made similar highs or lows).
Triangles or lines highlight levels where significant buy or sell orders might be gathered.
Intraday Target Lines:
The indicator generates targets for intraday trading based on support and resistance levels over the last 10 periods.
These target lines on the chart indicate potential entry or exit points based on the lowest and highest prices over the past 10 bars, which represent key points for trading within the current session.
Indicator Settings:
Show IMB: Toggle to show or hide IMB zones on the chart.
Show Liquidity Zones: Toggle to show or hide liquidity zones on the chart.
Show Targets (Intraday): Toggle to show or hide intraday target lines.
Max Targets (maxTargets): Set the maximum number of targets to display on the chart.
How to Use:
IMB Zones help identify potential retracement or breakout zones on the market. These zones are a critical part of Smart Money analysis, as markets often retrace to these areas after significant price moves.
Liquidity Zones provide clues about where large orders may be gathered, which could lead to a retracement or breakout.
Intraday Targets assist in identifying important levels for entering or exiting trades within the current session to take advantage of short-term price movements.
Important Notes:
This indicator works best on the 1-hour timeframe (H1) for more accurate and stable signals.
For maximum effectiveness, it is recommended to combine this indicator with other technical indicators and analysis methods.
2022 Model ICT Entry Strategy [TradingFinder] One Setup For Life🔵 Introduction
The ICT 2022 model, introduced by Michael Huddleston, is an advanced trading strategy rooted in liquidity and price imbalance, where time and price serve as the core elements. This ICT 2022 trading strategy is an algorithmic approach designed to analyze liquidity and imbalances in the market. It incorporates concepts such as Fair Value Gap (FVG), Liquidity Sweep, and Market Structure Shift (MSS) to help traders identify liquidity movements and structural changes in the market, enabling them to determine optimal entry and exit points for their trades.
This Full ICT Day Trading Model empowers traders to pinpoint the Previous Day High/Low as well as the highs and lows of critical sessions like the London and New York sessions. These levels act as Liquidity Zones, which are frequently swept prior to a market structure shift (MSS) or a retracement to areas such as Optimal Trade Entry (OTE).
Bullish :
Bearish :
🔵 How to Use
The ICT 2022 model is a sophisticated trading strategy that focuses on identifying key liquidity levels and price movements. It operates based on two main principles. In the first phase, the price approaches liquidity zones and sweeps critical levels such as the previous day’s high or low and key session levels.
This movement is known as a Liquidity Sweep. In the second phase, following the sweep, the price retraces to areas like the FVG (Fair Value Gap), creating ideal entry points for trades. Below is a detailed explanation of how to apply this strategy in bullish and bearish setups.
🟣 Bullish ICT 2022 Model Setup
To use the ICT 2022 model in a bullish setup, start by identifying the Previous Day High/Low or key session levels, such as those of the London or New York sessions. In a bullish setup, the price usually moves downward first, sweeping the Liquidity Low. This move, known as a Liquidity Sweep, reflects the collection of buy orders by major market participants.
After the liquidity sweep, the price should shift market structure and start moving upward; this shift, referred to as Market Structure Shift (MSS), signals the beginning of an upward trend. Following MSS, areas like FVG, located within the Discount Zone, are identified. At this stage, the trader waits for the price to retrace to these zones. Once the price returns, a long trade is executed.
Finally, the stop-loss should be set below the liquidity low to manage risk, while the take-profit target is usually placed above the previous day’s high or other identified liquidity levels. This structure enables traders to take advantage of the upward price movement after the liquidity sweep.
🟣 Bearish ICT 2022 Model Setup
To identify a bearish setup in the ICT 2022 model, begin by marking the Previous Day High/Low or key session levels, such as the London or New York sessions. In this scenario, the price typically moves upward first, sweeping the Liquidity High. This move, known as a Liquidity Sweep, signifies the collection of sell orders by key market players.
After the liquidity sweep, the price should shift market structure downward. This movement, called the Market Structure Shift (MSS), indicates the start of a downtrend. Following MSS, areas such as FVG, found within the Premium Zone, are identified. At this stage, the trader waits for the price to retrace to these areas. Once the price revisits these zones, a short trade is executed.
In this setup, the stop-loss should be placed above the liquidity high to control risk, while the take-profit target is typically set below the previous day’s low or another defined liquidity level. This approach allows traders to capitalize on the downward price movement following the liquidity sweep.
🔵 Settings
Swing period : You can set the swing detection period.
Max Swing Back Method : It is in two modes "All" and "Custom". If it is in "All" mode, it will check all swings, and if it is in "Custom" mode, it will check the swings to the extent you determine.
Max Swing Back : You can set the number of swings that will go back for checking.
FVG Length : Default is 120 Bar.
MSS Length : Default is 80 Bar.
FVG Filter : This refines the number of identified FVG areas based on a specified algorithm to focus on higher quality signals and reduce noise.
Types of FVG filters :
Very Aggressive Filter: Adds a condition where, for an upward FVG, the last candle's highest price must exceed the middle candle's highest price, and for a downward FVG, the last candle's lowest price must be lower than the middle candle's lowest price. This minimally filters out FVGs.
Aggressive Filter: Builds on the Very Aggressive mode by ensuring the middle candle is not too small, filtering out more FVGs.
Defensive Filter: Adds criteria regarding the size and structure of the middle candle, requiring it to have a substantial body and specific polarity conditions, filtering out a significant number of FVGs.
Very Defensive Filter: Further refines filtering by ensuring the first and third candles are not small-bodied doji candles, retaining only the highest quality signals.
🔵 Conclusion
The ICT 2022 model is a comprehensive and advanced trading strategy designed around key concepts such as liquidity, price imbalance, and market structure shifts (MSS). By focusing on the sweep of critical levels such as the previous day’s high/low and important trading sessions like London and New York, this strategy enables traders to predict market movements with greater precision.
The use of tools like FVG in this model helps traders fine-tune their entry and exit points and take advantage of bullish and bearish trends after liquidity sweeps. Moreover, combining this strategy with precise timing during key trading sessions allows traders to minimize risk and maximize returns.
In conclusion, the ICT 2022 model emphasizes the importance of time and liquidity, making it a powerful tool for both professional and novice traders. By applying the principles of this model, you can make more informed trading decisions and seize opportunities in financial markets more effectively.

Customizable Visualization: Choose between block or line styles for visual representation, with customizable colors and border styles.
Date Labeling: Optionally displays date labels for each identified gap to track patterns over time.
Imbalance Extension: Options to extend the imbalances to the current bar, helping to visualize their influence on ongoing price action.
Purpose:
The first fair value gap formed after the market opens is an important algorithmic price range in ICT's price action theory. This indicator simplifies the identification of these critical gaps and helps in understanding their impact on future price action.
ICT Killzones Toolkit [LuxAlgo]The ICT Killzones Toolkit is a comprehensive set of tools designed to assist traders in identifying key trading zones and patterns within the market.
The ICT Killzones Toolkit includes the following Price Action components:
ICT Killzones with Pivot Highs/Lows
Order Blocks
Breaker Blocks
Fair Value Gaps
Market Structure Shifts
By combining these components, the ICT Killzones Toolkit provides traders with a comprehensive framework for analyzing the market and identifying setups of interest. Leveraging these tools effectively can enhance traders' decision-making process and improve killzones interpretability.
🔶 USAGE
In forex/futures trading, timing is crucial. ICT Killzone are specific periods when there's a higher chance of finding setups of interest. Mastering these time intervals can offer significant advantages to traders who know how to use them effectively.
The image above highlights a potential setup of interest when using the ICT Killzones Toolkit.
As another example for utilizing the ICT Killzones Toolkit, we can see in the image above when price retests setups generated from killzones such as Order Blocks or Fair Value Gaps, a potential strategy could be to look for entries on those & take profits as the next killzone appears.
🔹 Order Blocks
Order Blocks are sections on a price chart where notable buying or selling activity has occured, often signaling interest zones for institutional traders. This toolkit's Order Blocks component pinpoints these areas within the Killzone, which may act as potential support or resistance levels.
🔹 Breaker Blocks
Breaker Blocks are zones built from mitigated order blocks, and highlight zones on the chart where price has previously stalled or reversed. These areas may act as significant barriers to price movement in the future, and the Breaker Blocks component helps traders identify them for potential trading opportunities.
🔹 Fair Value Gaps
Fair value gaps are especially favored by price action traders and arise from market inefficiencies or imbalances, typically when buying and selling are unequal. These gaps often attract price movement before resuming in the same direction. the Fair Value Gaps component of the toolkit helps traders identify and analyze them.
🔹 Market Structure Shifts
Market Structure Shifts refer to significant changes in the overall structure of the market, such as shifts in trend direction, volatility, or trading activity. These shifts can provide valuable insights into market sentiment and potential trading opportunities, and the Market Structure Shifts component helps traders identify and interpret them.
Overall, the ICT Killzone Toolkit combines these components to provide traders with a comprehensive framework for analyzing the markets and identifying high-probability trading setups.

Fair Value Gap [LuxAlgo]Fair value gaps (FVG) highlight imbalances areas between market participants and have become popular amongst technical analysts. The following script aims to display fair value gaps alongside the percentage of filled gaps and the average duration (in bars) before gaps are filled.
Users can be alerted when an FVG is filled using the alerts built into this script.
🔶 USAGE
In practice, FVG's highlight areas of support (bullish FVG) and resistances (bearish FVG). Once a gap is filled, suggesting the end of the imbalance, we can expect the price to reverse.
This approach is more contrarian in nature, users wishing to use a more trend-following approach can use the identification of FVG as direct signals, going long with the identification of a bullish FVG, and short with a bearish FVG.
🔹 Mitigation
By default, the script highlights the areas of only unmitigated FVG's. Users can however highlight the mitigation level of mitigated FVG's, that is the lower extremity of bullish FVG's and the upper extremity of bearish FVG's.
The user can track the evolution of a mitigated FVG's using the "Dynamic" setting.
🔹 Threshold
The gap height can be used to determine the degree of imbalance between buying and selling market participants. Users can filter fair value gaps based on the gap height using the "Threshold %" setting. Using the "Auto" will make use of an automatic threshold, only keeping more volatile FVG's.
🔶 DETAILS
We use the following rules for detecting FVG's in this script:
Bullish FVG
low > high(t-2)
close(t-1) > high(t-2)
(low - high(t-2)) / high(t-2) > threshold
Upper Bullish FVG = low
Lower Bullish FVG = high(t-2)
Bearish FVG
high < low(t-2)
close(t-1) < low(t-2)
(low(t-2) - high) / high < -threshold
Upper Bearish FVG = low(t-2)
Lower Bearish FVG = high
🔶 SETTINGS
Threshold %: Threshold percentage used to filter our FVG's based on their height.
Auto Threshold: Use the cumulative mean of relative FVG heights as threshold.
Unmitigatted Levels: Extent the mitigation level of the number of unmitigated FVG's set by the user.
Mitigation Levels: Show the mitigation levels of mitigated FVG's.

Supply and Demand Zones from Bullish/Bearish Breaks
Overview:
The Rally/Drop Market Structure indicator is a powerful price action tool that identifies key structural turning points in the market by detecting bullish and bearish breaks . After each confirmed break, it plots either a demand zone (following a bullish break or rally) or a supply zone (following a bearish break or drop). These zones represent institutional footprints — areas where price is likely to react due to imbalance or unfilled orders.
The indicator is based on synthetic higher timeframe (HTF) candles to provide a more stable and smoothed structural map, improving clarity and signal quality over raw candles.
How It Works:
- A bullish break is defined when price makes a higher high and a higher low (or closes above the previous high depending on your selected mode).
- A bearish break is defined when price makes a lower high and a lower low (or closes below the previous low).
- After a bullish break, the indicator plots a demand zone based on the low and high of the most recent bearish candle — representing where demand stepped in.
- After a bearish break, the indicator plots a supply zone from the most recent bullish candle — indicating where supply took control.
- Optional mitigation logic marks zones as mitigated (or deletes them) once price trades into the opposing side.
- Internal shift detection highlights swing highs and lows , labels structural points (HH, HL, LH, LL), and identifies potential liquidity sweeps .
Features:
- Dynamic plotting of rally-based demand zones and drop-based supply zones
- Toggle to use Highs/Lows or Close-based breaks for structure
- Support for LTF, MTF, and HTF analysis (with selectable timeframe)
- Zone mitigation logic with optional automatic cleanup
- Labeling of key swing points: HH , HL , LH , LL , and LS (Liquidity Sweep)
- Zigzag visualization for structure flow
- Alert-ready for internal shifts, BoS, and zone creation
- Separate styling options for BoS lines, internal shift shapes, and zone colors
How to Use:
- Set your desired HTF candle source (e.g., 1H or 4H) depending on your trading style.
- Use Highs/Lows mode for pure price action structure or Close mode for more conservative signals.
- Observe when a bullish break occurs — a demand zone will form where price previously dropped before rallying. Look for long opportunities if price revisits this zone.
- After a bearish break , a supply zone forms where the rally failed — use this to scout short entries on retests.
- Use BoS lines to confirm structure shifts and validate entry triggers or trend direction.
- Monitor mitigated zones for reduced reliability or avoid them completely by enabling automatic deletion.
- Use alerts to stay notified about key changes without watching the chart constantly.
Recommended Strategies:
- Smart money or ICT-style trading : identify institutional footprints and mitigation setups
- Reversal trading : catch price rejecting off unmitigated zones after structure break
- Trend continuation : enter in the direction of internal structure after pullbacks into zones
- Liquidity sweep confirmation : filter out false breaks using HH/LL with LS detection
Tips:
- Combine this indicator with a higher timeframe bias tool (e.g., moving average, higher timeframe market structure).
- For scalping, use tighter HTFs and reduce the zone duration.
- For swing trading, use larger HTFs (1H, 4H, Daily) and increase zone persistence.
Summary:
The Rally/Drop Market Structure indicator gives you an actionable framework for understanding price structure, market intent, and supply/demand imbalances. Whether you're looking for precision entries, trend confirmation, or smart money concepts, this tool helps simplify complex price behavior into clean, usable structure and zones.
Logistic Regression ICT FVG🚀 OVERVIEW
Welcome to the Logistic Regression Fair Value Gap (FVG) System — a next-gen trading tool that blends precision gap detection with machine learning intelligence.
Unlike traditional FVG indicators, this one evolves with each bar of price action, scoring and filtering gaps based on real market behavior.
🔧 CORE FEATURES
✨ Smart Gap Detection
Automatically identifies bullish and bearish Fair Value Gaps using volatility-aware candle logic.
📊 Probability-Based Filtering
Uses logistic regression to assign each gap a confidence score (0 to 1), showing only high-probability setups.
🔁 Real-Time Retest Tracking
Continuously watches how price interacts with each gap to determine if it deserves respect.
📈 Multi-Factor Assessment
Evaluates RSI, MACD, and body size at gap formation to build a full context snapshot.
🧠 Self-Learning Engine
The logistic regression model updates on each bar using gradient descent, refining its predictions over time.
📢 Built-In Alerts
Get instant alerts when a gap forms, gets retested, or breaks.
🎨 Custom Display Options
Control the color of bullish/bearish zones, and toggle on/off probability labels for cleaner charts.
🚩 WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
This isn’t just another box-drawing indicator.
While others mark every imbalance, this system thinks before it draws — using statistical modeling to filter out noise and prioritize high-impact zones.
By learning from how price behaves around gaps (not just how they form), it helps you trade only what matters — not what clutters.
⚙️ HOW IT WORKS
1️⃣ Detection
FVGs are identified using ATR-based thresholds and sharp wick imbalances.
2️⃣ Behavior Monitoring
Every gap is tracked — and if respected enough times, it becomes part of the elite training set.
3️⃣ Context Capture
Each new FVG logs RSI, MACD, and body size to provide a feature-rich context for prediction.
4️⃣ Prediction (Logistic Regression)
The model predicts how likely the gap is to be respected and assigns it a probability score.
5️⃣ Classification & Alerts
Gaps above the threshold are plotted with score labels, and alerts trigger for entry/respect/break.
⚙️ CONFIGURATION PANEL
🔧 System Inputs
• Max Retests – How many times a gap must be respected to train the model
• Prediction Threshold – Minimum score to show a gap on the chart
• Learning Rate – Controls how fast the model adapts (default: 0.009)
• Max FVG Lifetime – Expiration duration for unused gaps
• Show Historic Gaps – Show/hide expired or invalidated gaps
🎨 Visual Options
• Bullish/Bearish Colors – Set gap colors to fit your chart style
• Confidence Labels – Show probability scores next to FVGs
• Alert Toggles – Enable alerts for:
– New FVG detected
– FVG respected (entry)
– FVG invalidated (break)
💡 WHY LOGISTIC REGRESSION?
Traditional FVG tools rely on candle shapes.
This system relies on probability — by training on RSI, MACD, and price behavior, it predicts whether a gap will act as a true liquidity zone.
Logistic regression lets the system continuously adapt using new data, making it more accurate the longer it runs.
That means smarter signals, fewer false positives, and a clearer view of where real opportunities lie.
TJR SEEK AND DESTROYTJR SEEK AND DESTROY – Intraday ICT Trading Tool
Built for day traders, TJR SEEK AND DESTROY combines Smart Money concepts like order blocks, fair value gaps, and liquidity sweeps with structure breaks and daily bias to pinpoint high-probability trades during US market hours (9:30–16:00). Ideal for scalping or intraday strategies on stocks, futures, or forex.
What Makes It Unique?
Unlike standalone ICT indicators, this script integrates:
Order Blocks with volume and range filters for precise support/resistance zones.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) to spot pre-market price imbalances.
Break of Structure (BOS) and Liquidity Sweeps for trend and reversal signals.
A 1H MA-based Bias to align trades with the day’s direction.
BUY/SELL Labels triggered only when bias, BOS, and sweeps align, reducing noise.
How Does It Work?
Order Blocks: Marks zones with high volume (>1.5x 20-period SMA) and low range (<0.5x ATR20) as teal boxes—potential reversal points.
Fair Value Gap: Compares the prior day’s close to the current open (pre- or post-9:30), shown as a purple line and label (e.g., "FVG: 0.005").
Pivot Point: Calculates (prevHigh + prevLow + prevClose) / 3 from the prior day, plotted as an orange line for equilibrium.
Break of Structure: Detects crossovers of 5-bar highs/lows (gray lines), marked with red triangles.
Liquidity Sweeps: Tracks breaches of the prior day’s high/low (yellow lines), marked with yellow triangles.
Daily Bias: Uses 1H close vs. 20-period MA (blue line) for bullish (green background), bearish (red), or neutral (gray) context.
Signals: BUY (green label) when bias is bullish, price breaks up, and sweeps the prior high; SELL (red label) when bias is bearish, price breaks down, and sweeps the prior low.
How to Use It
Setup: Apply to 1M–15M charts for US session trading (9:30–16:00 EST).
Trading:
Wait for a BUY label after a yellow sweep triangle above the prior day’s high in a green (bullish) background.
Wait for a SELL label after a yellow sweep triangle below the prior day’s low in a red (bearish) background.
Use order blocks (teal boxes) as support/resistance for stop-loss or take-profit.
Markets: Best for SPY, ES futures, or forex pairs with US session volatility.
Underlying Concepts
Order Blocks: High-volume, low-range bars suggest institutional activity.
FVG: Gaps between close and open indicate imbalance to be filled.
BOS & Sweeps: Price breaking key levels signals momentum or stop-hunting.
Bias: 1H MA filters trades by broader trend.
Chart Setup
Displays order blocks (teal boxes), pivot (orange), open (purple), bias (colored background), BOS/sweeps (triangles), and signals (labels). Keep other indicators off for clarity.

ATAI Volume Pressure Analyzer V 1.0 — Pure Up/DownATAI Volume Pressure Analyzer V 1.0 — Pure Up/Down
Overview
Volume is a foundational tool for understanding the supply–demand balance. Classic charts show only total volume and don’t tell us what portion came from buying (Up) versus selling (Down). The ATAI Volume Pressure Analyzer fills that gap. Built on Pine Script v6, it scans a lower timeframe to estimate Up/Down volume for each host‑timeframe candle, and presents “volume pressure” in a compact HUD table that’s comparable across symbols and timeframes.
1) Architecture & Global Settings
Global Period (P, bars)
A single global input P defines the computation window. All measures—host‑TF volume moving averages and the half‑window segment sums—use this length. Default: 55.
Timeframe Handling
The core of the indicator is estimating Up/Down volume using lower‑timeframe data. You can set a custom lower timeframe, or rely on auto‑selection:
◉ Second charts → 1S
◉ Intraday → 1 minute
◉ Daily → 5 minutes
◉ Otherwise → 60 minutes
Lower TFs give more precise estimates but shorter history; higher TFs approximate buy/sell splits but provide longer history. As a rule of thumb, scan thin symbols at 5–15m, and liquid symbols at 1m.
2) Up/Down Volume & Derived Series
The script uses TradingView’s library function tvta.requestUpAndDownVolume(lowerTf) to obtain three values:
◉ Up volume (buyers)
◉ Down volume (sellers)
◉ Delta (Up − Down)
From these we define:
◉ TF_buy = |Up volume|
◉ TF_sell = |Down volume|
◉ TF_tot = TF_buy + TF_sell
◉ TF_delta = TF_buy − TF_sell
A positive TF_delta indicates buyer dominance; a negative value indicates selling pressure. To smooth noise, simple moving averages of TF_buy and TF_sell are computed over P and used as baselines.
3) Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Half‑window segmentation
To track momentum shifts, the P‑bar window is split in half:
◉ C→B: the older half
◉ B→A: the newer half (toward the current bar)
For each half, the script sums buy, sell, and delta. Comparing the two halves reveals strengthening/weakening pressure. Example: if AtoB_delta < CtoB_delta, recent buying pressure has faded.
[ 4) HUD (Table) Display /i]
Colors & Appearance
Two main color inputs define the theme: a primary color and a negative color (used when Δ is negative). The panel background uses a translucent version of the primary color; borders use the solid primary color. Text defaults to the primary color and flips to the negative color when a block’s Δ is negative.
Layout
The HUD is a 4×5 table updated on the last bar of each candle:
◉ Row 1 (Meta): indicator name, P length, lower TF, host TF
◉ Row 2 (Host TF): current ↑Buy, ↓Sell, ΔDelta; plus Σ total and SMA(↑/↓)
◉ Row 3 (Segments): C→B and B→A blocks with ↑/↓/Δ
◉ Rows 4–5: reserved for advanced modules (Wings, α/β, OB/OS, Top
5) Advanced Modules
5.1 Wings
“Wings” visualize volume‑driven movement over C→B (left wing) and B→A (right wing) with top/bottom lines and a filled band. Slopes are ATR‑per‑bar normalized for cross‑symbol/TF comparability and converted to angles (degrees). Coloring mirrors HUD sign logic with a near‑zero threshold (default ~3°):
◉ Both lines rising → blue (bullish)
◉ Both falling → red (bearish)
◉ Mixed/near‑zero → gray
Left wing reflects the origin of the recent move; right wing reflects the current state.
5.2 α / β at Point B
We compute the oriented angle between the two wings at the midpoint B:
β is the bottom‑arc angle; α = 360° − β is the top‑arc angle.
◉ Large α (>180°) or small β (<180°) flags meaningful imbalance.
◉ Intuition: large α suggests potential selling pressure; small β implies fragile support. HUD cells highlight these conditions.
5.3 OB/OS Spike
OverBought/OverSold (OB/OS) labels appear when directional volume spikes align with a 7‑oscillator vote (RSI, Stoch, %R, CCI, MFI, DeMarker, StochRSI).
◉ OB label (red): unusually high sell volume + enough OB votes
◉ OS label (teal): unusually high buy volume + enough OS votes
Minimum votes and sync window are user‑configurable; dotted connectors can link labels to the candle wick.
5.4 Top3 Volume Peaks
Within the P window the script ranks the top three BUY peaks (B1–B3) and top three SELL peaks (S1–S3).
◉ B1 and S1 are drawn as horizontal resistance (at B1 High) and support (at S1 Low) zones with adjustable thickness (ticks/percent/ATR).
◉ The HUD dedicates six cells to show ↑/↓/Δ for each rank, and prints the exact High (B1) and Low (S1) inline in their cells.
6) Reading the HUD — A Quick Checklist
◉ Meta: Confirm P and both timeframes (host & lower).
◉ Host TF block: Compare current ↑/↓/Δ against their SMAs.
◉ Segments: Contrast C→B vs B→A deltas to gauge momentum change.
◉ Wings: Right‑wing color/angle = now; left wing = recent origin.
◉ α / β: Look for α > 180° or β < 180° as imbalance cues.
◉ OB/OS: Note labels, color (red/teal), and the vote count.
◉Top3: Keep B1 (resistance) and S1 (support) on your radar.
Use these together to sketch scenarios and invalidation levels; never rely on a single signal in isolation.
[ 7) Example Highlights (What the table conveys) /i]
◉ Row 1 shows the indicator name, the analysis length P (default 55), and both TFs used for computation and display.
◉ B1 / S1 blocks summarize each side’s peak within the window, with Δ indicating buyer/seller dominance at that peak and inline price (B1 High / S1 Low) for actionable levels.
◉ Angle cells for each wing report the top/bottom line angles vs. the horizontal, reflecting the directional posture.
◉ Ranks B2/B3 and S2/S3 extend context beyond the top peak on each side.
◉ α / β cells quantify the orientation gap at B; changes reflect shifting buyer/seller influence on trend strength.
Together these visuals often reveal whether the “wings” resemble a strong, upward‑tilted arm supported by buyer volume—but always corroborate with your broader toolkit
8) Practical Tips & Tuning
◉ Choose P by market structure. For daily charts, 34–89 bars often works well.
◉ Lower TF choice: Thin symbols → 5–15m; liquid symbols → 1m.
◉ Near‑zero angle: In noisy markets, consider 5–7° instead of 3°.
◉ OB/OS votes: Daily charts often work with 3–4 votes; lower TFs may prefer 4–5.
◉ Zone thickness: Tie B1/S1 zone thickness to ATR so it scales with volatility.
◉ Colors: Feel free to theme the primary/negative colors; keep Δ<0 mapped to the negative color for readability.
Combine with price action: Use this indicator alongside structure, trendlines, and other tools for stronger decisions.

Advanced ICT Theory - A-ICT📊 Advanced ICT Theory (A-ICT): The Institutional Manipulation Detector
Are you tired of being the liquidity? Stop chasing shadows and start tracking the architects of price movement.
This is not another lagging indicator. This is a complete framework for viewing the market through the lens of institutional traders. Advanced ICT Theory (A-ICT) is an all-in-one, military-grade analysis engine designed to decode the complex language of "Smart Money." It automates the core tenets of Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology, moving beyond simple patterns to build a dynamic, real-time narrative of market manipulation, liquidity engineering, and institutional order flow.
AIT provides a living blueprint of the market, identifying high-probability zones, tracking structural shifts, and scoring the quality of setups with a sophisticated, multi-factor algorithm. This is your X-ray into the market's true intentions.
🔬 THE CORE ENGINE: DECODING THE THEORY & FORMULAS
A-ICT is built upon a sophisticated, multi-layered logic system that interprets price action as a story of cause and effect. It does not guess; it confirms. Here is the foundational theory that drives the engine:
1. Market Structure: The Blueprint of Trend
The script first establishes a deep understanding of the market's skeleton through multi-level pivot analysis. It uses ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow to identify significant swing points.
Internal Structure (iBOS): Minor swings that show the short-term order flow. A break of internal structure is the first whisper of a potential shift.
External Structure (eBOS): Major swing points that define the primary trend. A confirmed break of external structure is a powerful statement of trend continuation. AIT validates this with optional Volume Confirmation (volume > volumeSMA * 1.2) and Candle Confirmation to ensure the break is driven by institutional force, not just a random spike.
Change of Character (CHoCH): This is the earthquake. A CHoCH occurs when a confirmed eBOS happens against the prevailing trend (e.g., a bearish eBOS in a clear uptrend). A-ICT flags this immediately, as it is the strongest signal that the primary trend is under threat of reversal.
2. Liquidity Engineering: The Fuel of the Market
Institutions don't buy into strength; they buy into weakness. They need liquidity. A-ICT maps these liquidity pools with forensic precision:
Buyside & Sellside Liquidity (BSL/SSL): Using ta.highest and ta.lowest, AIT identifies recent highs and lows where clusters of stop-loss orders (liquidity) are resting. These are institutional targets.
Liquidity Sweeps: This is the "manipulation" part of the detector. AIT has a specific formula to detect a sweep: high > bsl and close < bsl . This signifies that institutions pushed price just high enough to trigger buy-stops before aggressively selling—a classic "stop hunt." This event dramatically increases the quality score of subsequent patterns.
3. The Element Lifecycle: From Potential to Power
This is the revolutionary heart of A-ICT. Zones are not static; they have a lifecycle. AIT tracks this with its dynamic classification engine.
Phase 1: PENDING (Yellow): The script identifies a potential zone of interest based on a specific candle formation (a "displacement"). It is marked as "Pending" because its true nature is unknown. It is a question.
Phase 2: CLASSIFICATION: After the zone is created, AIT watches what happens next. The zone's identity is defined by its actions:
ORDER BLOCK (Blue): The highest-grade element. A zone is classified as an Order Block if it directly causes a Break of Structure (BOS) . This is the footprint of institutions entering the market with enough force to validate the new trend direction.
TRAP ZONE (Orange): A zone is classified as a Trap Zone if it is directly involved in a Liquidity Sweep . This indicates the zone was used to engineer liquidity, setting a "trap" for retail traders before a reversal.
REVERSAL / S&R ZONE (Green): If a zone is not powerful enough to cause a BOS or a major sweep, but still serves as a pivot point, it's classified as a general support/resistance or reversal zone.
4. Market Inefficiencies: Gaps in the Matrix
Fair Value Gaps (FVG): AIT detects FVGs—a 3-bar pattern indicating an imbalance—with a strict formula: low > high (for a bullish FVG) and gapSize > atr14 * 0.5. This ensures only significant, volatile gaps are shown. An FVG co-located with an Order Block is a high-confluence setup.
5. Premium & Discount: The Law of Value
Institutions buy at wholesale (Discount) and sell at retail (Premium). AIT uses a pdLookback to define the current dealing range and divides it into three zones: Premium (sell zone), Discount (buy zone), and Equilibrium. An element's quality score is massively boosted if it aligns with this principle (e.g., a bullish Order Block in a Discount zone).

Every setting is a lever, allowing you to tune the AIT engine to your exact specifications. Master these to unlock the script's full potential.
🎯 A-ICT Detection Engine
Min Displacement Candles: Controls the sensitivity of element detection. How it works: It defines the number of subsequent candles that must be "inside" a large parent candle. Best practice: Use 2-3 for a balanced view on most timeframes. A higher number (4-5) will find only major, more significant zones, ideal for swing trading. A lower number (1) is highly sensitive, suitable for scalping.
Mitigation Method: Defines when a zone is considered "used up" or mitigated. How it works: Cross triggers as soon as price touches the zone's boundary. Close requires a candle to fully close beyond it. Best practice: Cross is more responsive for fast-moving markets. Close is more conservative and helps filter out fake-outs caused by wicks, making it safer for confirmations.
Min Element Size (ATR): A crucial noise filter. How it works: It requires a detected zone to be at least this multiple of the Average True Range (ATR). Best practice: Keep this around 0.5. If you see too many tiny, irrelevant zones, increase this value to 0.8 or 1.0. If you feel the script is missing smaller but valid zones, decrease it to 0.3.
Age Threshold & Pending Timeout: These manage visual clutter. How they work: Age Threshold removes old, mitigated elements after a set number of bars. Pending Timeout removes a "Pending" element if it isn't classified within a certain window. Best practice: The default settings are optimized. If your chart feels cluttered, reduce the Age Threshold. If pending zones disappear too quickly, increase the Pending Timeout.
Min Quality Threshold: Your primary visual filter. How it works: It hides all elements (boxes, lines, labels) that do not meet this minimum quality score (0-100). Best practice: Start with the default 30. To see only A- or B-grade setups, increase this to 60 or 70 for an exceptionally clean, high-probability view.
🏗️ Market Structure
Lookbacks (Internal, External, Major): These define the sensitivity of the trend analysis. How they work: They set the number of bars to the left and right for pivot detection. Best practice: Use smaller values for Internal (e.g., 3) to see minor structure and larger values for External (e.g., 10-15) to map the main trend. For a macro, long-term view, increase the Major Swing Lookback.
Require Volume/Candle Confirmation: Toggles for quality control on BOS/CHoCH signals. Best practice: It is highly recommended to keep these enabled. Disabling them will result in more structure signals, but many will be false alarms. They are your filter against market noise.

📊 THE INTELLIGENCE DASHBOARDS: YOUR COMMAND CENTER
The dashboards synthesize all the complex analysis into a simple, actionable intelligence briefing.
Main Dashboard (Bottom Right)
ICT Metrics & Breakdown: This is your statistical overview. Total Elements shows how much structure the script is tracking. High Quality instantly tells you if there are any A/B grade setups nearby. Unmitigated vs. Mitigated shows the balance of fresh opportunities versus resolved price action. The breakdown by Order Blocks, Trap Zones, etc., gives you a quick read on the market's recent character.
Structure & Market Context: This is your core bias. Order Flow tells you the current script-determined trend. Last BOS shows you the most recent structural event. CHoCH Active is a critical warning. HTF Bias shows if you are aligned with the higher timeframe—the checkmark (✓) for alignment is one of the most important confluence factors.
Smart Money Flow: A volume-based sentiment gauge. Net Flow shows the raw buying vs. selling pressure, while the Bias provides an interpretation (e.g., "STRONG BULLISH FLOW").
Key Guide (Large Dashboard only): A built-in legend so you never have to guess. It defines every pattern, structure type, and special level visually.
📖 Narrative Dashboard (Bottom Left)
This is the "story" of the market, updated in real-time. It's designed to build your trading thesis.
Recent Elements Table: A live list of the most recent, high-quality setups. It displays the Type , its Narrative Role (e.g., "Bullish OB caused BOS"), its raw Quality percentage, and its final Trade Score grade. This is your at-a-glance opportunity scanner.
Market Narrative Section: This is the soul of A-ICT. It combines all data points into a human-readable story:
📍 Current Phase: Tells you if you are in a high-volatility Killzone or a consolidation phase like the Asian Range.
🎯 Bias & Alignment: Your primary direction, with a clear indicator of HTF alignment or conflict.
🔗 Events: A causal sequence of recent events, like "💧 Sell-side liquidity swept →
📊 Bullish BOS → 🎯 Active Order Block".
🎯 Next Expectation: The script's logical conclusion. It provides a specific, forward-looking hypothesis, such as "📉 Pullback expected to bullish OB at 1.2345 before continuation up."
🎨 READING THE BATTLEFIELD: A VISUAL INTERPRETATION GUIDE
Every color and line is a piece of information. Learn to read them together to see the full picture.
The Core Zones (Boxes):
Blue Box (Order Block): Highest probability zone for trend continuation. Look for entries here.
Orange Box (Trap Zone): A manipulation footprint. Expect a potential reversal after price interacts with this zone.
Green Box (Reversal/S&R): A standard pivot area. A good reference point but requires more confluence.
Purple Box (FVG): A market imbalance. Acts as a magnet for price. An FVG inside an Order Block is an A+ confluence.
The Structural Lines:
Green/Red Line (eBOS): Confirms the trend direction. A break above the green line is bullish; a break below the red line is bearish.
Thick Orange Line (CHoCH): WARNING. The previous trend is now in question. The market character has changed.
Blue/Red Lines (BSL/SSL): Liquidity targets. Expect price to gravitate towards these lines. A dotted line with a checkmark (✓) means the liquidity has been "swept" or "purged."
How to Synthesize: The magic is in the confluence. A perfect setup might look like this: Price sweeps below a red SSL line , enters a green Discount Zone during the NY Killzone , and forms a blue Order Block which then causes a green eBOS . This sequence, visible at a glance, is the story of a high-probability long setup.
🔧 THE ARCHITECT'S VISION: THE DEVELOPMENT JOURNEY
A-ICT was forged from the frustration of using lagging indicators in a market that is forward-looking. Traditional tools are reactive; they tell you what happened. The vision for A-ICT was to create a proactive engine that could anticipate institutional behavior by understanding their objectives: liquidity and efficiency. The development process was centered on creating a "lifecycle" for price patterns—the idea that a zone's true meaning is only revealed by its consequence. This led to the post-breakout classification system and the narrative-building engine. It's designed not just to show you patterns, but to tell you their story.

absorptionBox := box.new(left = bar_index - 1, top = close, right = bar_index + az_strcuture, bottom = open, border_color = color.rgb(105, 15, 15), border_width = boxLineSize, bgcolor = color.rgb(105, 15, 15))
absorptionBox
What this means is that absorption bars are defined as the bars with the largest bodies over a selected lookback period. Those large bodies represent areas where price may react. I was inspired by the concept of a Fair Value Gap for this concept. In that body price may enter to be a point of support or resistance, market participants get “absorbed” in the area so price can continue in whichever direction.
#2 Candle Wick Theory/Strategy
I defined Candle Wick Theory/Strategy as follows.
//----------------------------------------------
//---------------Candle Wick--------------------
//----------------------------------------------
highWick = upBar ? high - close : downBar ? high - open : na
lowWick = upBar ? open - low : downBar ? close - low : na
upWick = upBar ? close + highWick : downBar ? open + highWick : na
downWick = upBar ? open - lowWick : downBar ? close - lowWick : na
downDelivery = upBar and downBar and high > upWick and highWick > lowWick and totalSize > totalSize and barstate.isconfirmed and session.ismarket
upDelivery = downBar and upBar and low < downWick and highWick < lowWick and totalSize > totalSize and barstate.isconfirmed and session.ismarket
line lG = na
line lE = na
line lR = na
bodyMidpoint = math.abs(body) / 2
upWickMidpoint = math.abs(upWickSize) / 2
downWickkMidpoint = math.abs(downWickSize) / 2
if upDelivery and showCdTheory
cpE = chart.point.new(time, bar_index - 1, downWickkMidpoint)
cpE2 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + bl, downWickkMidpoint)
cpG = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + bl, downWickkMidpoint * (1 + tp))
cpR = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + bl, downWickkMidpoint * (1 - sl))
cpG1 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index - 1, downWickkMidpoint * (1 + tp))

First I get the size of the wicks for the top and bottoms of the candles. This depends on if the bar is red or green. If the bar is green the wick is the high minus the close, if red the high minus the open, and so on. Next, the script defines the upper and lower bounds of the wicks for further comparison. If the candle is green, it's the open price minus the bottom wick. If the candle is red, it's the close price minus the bottom wick, and so on. Next we have the condition for when this strategy is present.
Down delivery:
Occurs when the previous candle is green, the current candle is red, and:
The high of the current candle is above the upper wick of the previous candle.
The size of the current candle's top wick is greater than its bottom wick.
The total size of the previous candle is greater than the total size of the current candle.
The current bar is confirmed (barstate.isconfirmed).
The session is during market hours (session.ismarket).
Up delivery:
Occurs when the previous candle is red, the current candle is green, and:
The low of the current candle is below the lower wick of the previous candle.
The size of the current candle's bottom wick is greater than its top wick.
The total size of the previous candle is greater than the total size of the current candle.
The current bar is confirmed.
The session is during market hours
Then risk is plotted from the percentage that users can input from an ideal entry spot.
#3 Candle Size Theory
I defined Candle Size Theory as follows.
//----------------------------------------------
//---------------Candle displacement------------
//----------------------------------------------
line lECD = na
notableDown = bodySize > bodySize * candle_size_sensitivity and downBar and session.ismarket and barstate.isconfirmed
notableUp = bodySize > bodySize * candle_size_sensitivity and upBar and session.ismarket and barstate.isconfirmed
if notableUp and showCdSizeTheory
cpE = chart.point.new(time, bar_index - 1, close)
cpE2 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + bl_strcuture, close)
lECD := line.new(cpE, cpE2, xloc.bar_index, extend.none, color.rgb(0, 80, 75), line.style_solid, 3)
lECD
else if notableDown and showCdSizeTheory
cpE = chart.point.new(time, bar_index - 1, close)
cpE2 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + bl_strcuture, close)
lECD := line.new(cpE, cpE2, xloc.bar_index, extend.none, color.rgb(105, 15, 15), line.style_solid, 3)
lECD
This plots candles that are “notable” or out of the ordinary. Candles that are larger than the last by a value users get to specify. These candles' highs or lows, if they are green or red, act as levels for support or resistance.
#4 Candle Structure Theory
I defined Candle Structure Theory as follows.
//----------------------------------------------
//---------------Structure----------------------
//----------------------------------------------
breakDownStructure = low < low and low < low and high > high and upBar and downBar and upBar and downBar and session.ismarket and barstate.isconfirmed
breakUpStructure = low > low and low > low and high < high and downBar and upBar and downBar and upBar and session.ismarket and barstate.isconfirmed
if breakUpStructure and showStructureTheory
cpE = chart.point.new(time, bar_index - 1, close)
cpE2 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + bl_strcuture, close)
lE := line.new(cpE, cpE2, xloc.bar_index, extend.none, color.teal, line.style_solid, 3)
lE
else if breakDownStructure and showStructureTheory
cpE = chart.point.new(time, bar_index - 1, open)
cpE2 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + bl_strcuture, open)
lE := line.new(cpE, cpE2, xloc.bar_index, extend.none, color.red, line.style_solid, 3)
lE
It is a series of candles to create a notable event. 2 lower lows in a row, a lower high, then green bar, red bar, green bar is a structure for a breakdown. 2 higher lows in a row, a higher high, red bar, green bar, red bar for a break up.
#5 Candle Swing Structure Theory
I defined Candle Swing Structure Theory as follows.
//----------------------------------------------
//---------------Swing Structure----------------
//----------------------------------------------
line htb = na
line ltb = na
if totalSize * swing_struct_sense < totalSize and upBar and downBar and high > high and showSwingSturcture and session.ismarket and barstate.isconfirmed
cpS = chart.point.new(time, bar_index - 1, high)
cpE = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + bl_strcuture, high)
htb := line.new(cpS, cpE, xloc.bar_index, color = color.red, style = line.style_dashed)
htb
else if totalSize * swing_struct_sense < totalSize and downBar and upBar and low > low and showSwingSturcture and session.ismarket and barstate.isconfirmed
cpS = chart.point.new(time, bar_index - 1, low)
cpE = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + bl_strcuture, low)
ltb := line.new(cpS, cpE, xloc.bar_index, color = color.teal, style = line.style_dashed)
ltb
A bearish swing structure is defined as the last candle’s total size, times a scalar that the user can input, is less than the current candles. Like a size imbalance. The last bar must be green and this one red. The last high should also be less than this high. For a bullish swing structure the same size imbalance must be present, but we need a red bar then a green bar, and the last low higher than the current low.
#6 Fractal Boxes
I define the Fractal Boxes as follows
//----------------------------------------------
//---------------Fractal Boxes------------------
//----------------------------------------------
box b = na
int indexx = na
if bar_index % (n * 2) == 0 and session.ismarket and showBoxes
b := box.new(left = bar_index, top = topBox, right = bar_index + n, bottom = bottomBox, border_color = color.rgb(105, 15, 15), border_width = boxLineSize, bgcolor = na)
indexx := bar_index + 1
indexx
The idea of this strategy is that the market is fractal. It is considered impossible to be able to tell apart two different time frames from just the chart. So inside the chart there are many many breakouts and breakdowns happening as price bounces around. The boxes are there to give you the view from your timeframe if the market is in a range from a time frame that would be higher than it. Like if we are inside what a larger time frame candle’s range. If we break out or down from this, we might be able to trade it. Users can specify a lookback period and the box is that period’s, as an interval, high and low. I say as an interval because it is plotted every n * 2 bars. So we get a box, price moves, then a new box.
#7 Potential Move Width
I define the Potential Move Width as follows
//----------------------------------------------
//---------------Move width---------------------
//----------------------------------------------
velocity = V(n)
line lC = na
line l = na
line l2 = na
line l3 = na
line l4 = na
line l5 = na
line l6 = na
line l7 = na
line l8 = na
line lGFractal = na
line lRFractal = na
cp2 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + n, close + velocity)
cp3 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + n, close - velocity)
cp4 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + n, close + velocity * 5)
cp5 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + n, close - velocity * 5)
cp6 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + n, close + velocity * 10)
cp7 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + n, close - velocity * 10)
cp8 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + n, close + velocity * 15)
cp9 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + n, close - velocity * 15)
cpG = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + n, close + R)
cpR = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + n, close - R)
if ((bar_index + n) * 2 - bar_index) % n == 0 and session.ismarket and barstate.isconfirmed and showPredictionWidtn
cp = chart.point.new(time, bar_index, close)
cpG1 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index, close + R)
cpR1 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index, close - R)
l := line.new(cp, cp2, xloc.bar_index, extend.none, color.aqua, line.style_solid, 1)
l2 := line.new(cp, cp3, xloc.bar_index, extend.none, color.aqua, line.style_solid, 1)
l3 := line.new(cp, cp4, xloc.bar_index, extend.none, color.red, line.style_solid, 1)
l4 := line.new(cp, cp5, xloc.bar_index, extend.none, color.red, line.style_solid, 1)
l5 := line.new(cp, cp6, xloc.bar_index, extend.none, color.teal, line.style_solid, 1)
l6 := line.new(cp, cp7, xloc.bar_index, extend.none, color.teal, line.style_solid, 1)
l7 := line.new(cp, cp8, xloc.bar_index, extend.none, color.blue, line.style_solid, 1)
l8 := line.new(cp, cp9, xloc.bar_index, extend.none, color.blue, line.style_solid, 1)
l8
By using the past n bar’s velocity, or directional speed, every n * 2 bars. I can use it to scale the close value and get an estimate for how wide the next moves might be.
#8 Linear regression
//----------------------------------------------
//---------------Linear Regression--------------
//----------------------------------------------
lr = showLR ? ta.linreg(close, n, 0) : na
plot(lr, 'Linear Regression', color.blue)
I used TradingView’s built in linear regression to not reinvent the wheel. This is present to see past market strength of weakness from a different perspective.
User input
Users can control a lot about this script. For the strategy based plots you can enter what you want the risk to be in percentages. So the default 0.01 is 1%. You can also control how far forward the line goes.
Look back at where it is needed as well as line width for the Fractal Boxes are controllable. Also users can check on and off what they would like to see on the charts.
No indicator is 100% reliable, do not follow this one blindly. I encourage traders to make their own decisions and not trade solely based on technical indicators. I encourage constructive criticism in the comments below. Thank you.
Fibonacci Snap Tool [TradersPro]
OVERVIEW
The Fibonacci Snap tool automatically snaps to the swing high and swing low of the price data shown on the chart display. Fibonacci retracement levels can be used for entry, exit, or as a confirmation of trend continuation.
If the swing high on the chart comes before the swing low, the price is in a downtrend.If the swing high comes after the swing low, the price is in an uptrend.
We call the 23.60% Fibonacci level the momentum zone of the trend. Price in a solid trend, either up or down, will typically hold the 23.60% Fibonacci level as support (demand) in an uptrend or resistance (supply) in a downtrend.
Deeper Fibonacci levels of 38.20%, 50.00%, and 61.80% are corrective supply/demand zones. As price moves against the found trend, it can move into this range block we call the corrective zone.
Fibonacci retracement levels are used to identify potential supply/demand areas where price could reverse or consolidate. These levels are based on key ratios derived from the Fibonacci sequence, and we only use the core 23.60%, 38.20%, 50.00%, and 61.80% ratios.
CONCEPTS
Price action moves in trend cycles, these retracement levels help traders measure proportional relationships between the high/low swings in the price trend.
When a price trend is moving against the trend, traders can find opportunities to trade with the current trend at key Fibonacci levels. Fibonacci levels can be used to anticipate where price might find supply/demand imbalance and continue moving in the trend direction.
Traders apply the indicator by selecting a window of price they want to analyze in the chart display, and the Fibonacci Snap tool will snap to the high and low of the visible price display.
The Intent and Use of This Tool
The 23.60% level acts as a momentum or continuation of trend. The 38.20% to 61.80% range are corrective zones of the trend.
The 61.80% level, also known as the golden ratio (Google the term “Golden Ratio”; it's fun), can often represent the location of supply/demand imbalance.
In an uptrend, it can represent the area of no more selling supply, and the balance can shift to buying demand. In a downtrend, it can represent the area of no more buying demand and the balance can shift to selling supply.
When used with the Momentum Zones indicator, these two tools create a powerful combination for traders to find, implement, and manage trades.
Double FVG-BPR [QuantVue]The Double FVG BPR Indicator is a versatile tool that helps traders identify potential support and resistance levels through the concept of balanced price ranges.
A Balanced Price Range (BPR) is a zone on a price chart where the market has found equilibrium after a period of price imbalance.
It is identified by detecting a Fair Value Gap (FVG) in one direction, followed by an overlapping Fair Value Gap in the opposite direction.
Components of a Balanced Price Range
Fair Value Gap (FVG): A FVG occurs when there is a rapid price movement, creating a gap in the price chart where minimal trading occurs. This gap represents an imbalance between supply and demand.
Bullish FVG: A bullish FVG is identified when the low of a candle is higher than the high of a candle two periods ago, and the close of the previous candle is higher than the high of that same period.
Bearish FVG: A bearish FVG is identified when the high of a candle is lower than the low of a candle two periods ago, and the close of the previous candle is lower than the low of that same period.
Overlapping Fair Value Gap: For a BPR to be formed, an initial FVG must be followed by an overlapping FVG in the opposite direction. This creates a balanced zone where the price has moved up (or down) quickly and then moved down (or up) with similar intensity, suggesting a temporary equilibrium.
The area between the high and low points of these overlapping FVGs forms the BPR. This zone represents a temporary market equilibrium where supply and demand have balanced out after a period of significant price movement in both directions.
How to Use
Support and Resistance Levels: The upper and lower boundaries of the BPR act as dynamic support and resistance levels. Traders can use these levels to place buy and sell orders, anticipating that the price may find support or face resistance within these zones.
Trend Reversal and Continuation: The BPR can signal potential trend reversals or continuations.
If the price moves back into the BPR after a breakout, it may indicate a reversal. Conversely, if the price breaks out of the BPR with strong momentum, it may signal a trend continuation.
MTF Fair Value Gap Indicator ULTRAFVG Fair Value Gap Indicator
FVG's commonly known as Fair Value Gaps are mostly in use for forex trading, however it’s been widely used in price action trading, even on regular large cap stocks. Think of it as an imbalance area where the price of the stock may actually be under/over valued due to many orders being injected in a short amount of time, ie . a gap caused by an impulse created by the speed of the price movement. In essence, the FVG can become a kind of magnet drawing the price back to that level to attempt to balance out the orders (when? we don't know). Please do research to understand the concept of FVG's.
You can look for an opportunity as price approaches the FVG for entry either long/short because after all, it is an "Area of Interest" so the price will either bounce or blow through the area. No indicator works 100% of the time so take in context as just another indicator. It tends work on larger time frames best.
IMPORTANT TV RELATED LIMITATIONS: You should take the time to understand the following. A MAXIMUM of 500 boxes and labels are allowed, thus if you elect to display many different time frames of FVGs and/or select to not auto delete old Daily FVGs, the oldest FVGs will be deleted and not be seen. Additionally if you are on a smaller chart time frame (1 min), you may not see older FVGs such as Daily ones that occurred and still exist from long ago. This is due to TV limitation of 20,000 candles of history in each chart timeframe. Example: A 1 minute chart supports approximately 14 days worth of data so looking for Daily FVGs would only go back that far, whereas if your chart was set to 5 minutes you'd be able to see 5 times as many, ie . 60 days worth of Daily FVG's. Obviously setting your chart and looking for Daily FVG's would support up to 20,000 days worth.
The Indicator Provides many different features:
*Creation of FVG's for all hours or just during market hours. Currently you can enable FVG’s for the following timeframes: Current chart timeframe, 5Min, 10Min, 15Min, 1Hr, 4Hr, 8Hr, Daily, Weekly, Monthly.
*Text label displays overlaying FVG bands including creation timestamps.
* Bands reflecting FVG's in action (created/deleted) for the current chart time frame, 15min, 1hr, 4hr, 8hr and daily time frames. The FVG's will be overlayed on the chart if enabled.
*Mitigation Action - Normal - When FVG is balanced out by price action, the FVG will disappear. Dynamic - The FVG band will decrease as the price movement eats into it thus only showing the remaining imbalance. None - For those that wish to retain FVG's even if they were mitigated. Half - FVG’s disappear when the price intrudes 50% of the overall FVG band zone.
*Mitigation Type - The elimination or balancing of the FVG is caused by either the candle wick or body passing completely through the FVG.
*Maximum FVGs - A maximum number of FVGs are created for each different enabled time frame (be aware setting a large number could impact system performance).
*All FVG band colors can be customized by the user.
* All FVG bands auto extend to the right.
* Intrusion Alerts - Trading View alerts are supported. You can use the indicator settings to enable an alert if the price intrudes into the FVG zone by a certain percentage. This is not related to mitigation or removal of the FVG, just a warning that price has reached the area of interest.
