MBODDS GLOBAL - Enhanceden
MBODDS GLOBAL Indicator – Detailed Interpretation
What does the indicator measure?
Liquidity preferences
Credit risk perception
Market stress levels
Interpreting the ODDS Value
ODDS Value Explanation
Positive ODDS (> 0) SOFR is higher than the T-Bill rate → Interbank liquidity is more expensive → Possible financial stress.
Negative ODDS (< 0) T-Bill rates are higher than SOFR → The government pays more interest in the short term → Liquidity abundance, normal market conditions.
ODDS ≈ 0 Neutral market state → Low stress, market is stable.
Z-Score Interpretation (Extremity Analysis)
The Z-Score measures the standard deviation of ODDS, detecting extreme values:
Z-Score Meaning
> +1.0 Spread is unusually high → Stress/crisis risk increases.
< -1.0 Spread is unusually low → Liquidity could be abundant.
> +2.0 Extremely high spread → Systemic risk (observed during 2008-2020 periods).
≈ 0 Average level → Normal conditions, no notable risk.
The Z-Score functions as an "anomaly detector" for this indicator.
SMA (Simple Moving Average) Interpretation
The 21-day SMA shows the trend of ODDS:
ODDS consistently above SMA: Rising stress and credit costs.
ODDS consistently below SMA: Easier liquidity and lower market concerns.
Threshold Bands (±0.5)
These thresholds are visual guides for alerts:
ODDS > +0.5: Rising stress, potential liquidity tightening → Risky environment.
ODDS < -0.5: Low spread → Abundant liquidity, low stress → Comfortable environment.
Use Cases
Macro analysis (especially after Fed policy changes)
Direction determination in bond, equity, or credit markets
Early signal for stressful periods
Predicting liquidity crises
Conclusion:
This indicator acts as a macro-based "silent alarm." Specifically:
SOFR > T-Bill and Z-Score > 1: Stress and risk are increasing, protection strategies should be considered.
T-Bill > SOFR and Z-Score < -1: Liquidity is abundant, risk appetite may rise.

Flow State Model [TakingProphets]🧠 Indicator Purpose:
The "Flow State Model" by Taking Prophets is a precision-built trading framework based on the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. This script implements and automates the Flow State Model, a highly effective multi-timeframe trading system created and popularized by ITS Johnny.
It is designed to help traders systematically align higher timeframe liquidity draws with lower timeframe confirmation patterns, offering a clear roadmap for catching institutional moves with high confidence.
🌟 What Makes This Indicator Unique:
This is not a simple liquidity indicator or a basic FVG plotter. The Flow State Model executes a full multi-step process:
Higher Timeframe PD Array Detection: Automatically identifies and displays Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) from Daily, Weekly, and Monthly timeframes.
Liquidity Sweep Monitoring: Tracks swing highs and lows to detect Buyside or Sellside Liquidity sweeps into the HTF PD Arrays.
CISD Detection: Waits for a Change in State of Delivery (CISD) by monitoring bullish or bearish displacement after a sweep.
Full Trade Checklist: Visual checklist ensures all critical conditions are met before signaling a completed Flow State setup.
Sensitivity Control: Adapt detection strictness (High, Medium, Low) based on market volatility.
⚙️ How the Indicator Works (Detailed):
Fair Value Gap Mapping:
The indicator constantly scans higher timeframes (4H, Daily, Weekly) for valid bullish or bearish Fair Value Gaps that are large enough (based on ATR multiples) and not weekend gaps.
These FVGs are displayed on the current timeframe with full extension logic and mitigation handling (clearing when invalidated).
Liquidity Sweep Detection:
Swing highs and lows are identified using pivot logic (3-bar pivots). When price sweeps beyond a recent liquidity point into an active FVG, it flags the potential for a Flow State setup.
Change in State of Delivery (CISD) Confirmation:
After a sweep, the script monitors price action for a sequence of bullish or bearish candles followed by displacement (break in delivery).
Only after displacement closes beyond the initiating sequence does a CISD level plot, confirming the market's new delivery state.
Execution Checklist:
An optional table tracks whether critical components are present:
Higher Timeframe PD Array.
Aligned Timeframe Bias.
Liquidity Sweep into FVG.
SMT Divergence (optional manual confirmation).
CISD Confirmation.
Dynamic Management:
Active gaps are extended automatically.
Cleared gaps and mitigated CISDs are deleted to keep charts clean.
Distance-to-FVG prioritization keeps only the nearest active setups visible.
🎯 How to Use It:
Step 1: Identify the bias by locating active higher timeframe FVGs.
Step 2: Wait for a Liquidity Sweep into a PD Array (active FVG).
Step 3: Watch for a CISD event (the Flow State confirmation).
Step 4: Once all conditions are checked off, execute trades based on retracements to CISD levels or continuation after displacement.
Best Timing:
During ICT Killzones: London Open, New York AM.
After daily or weekly liquidity events.
🔎 Underlying Concepts:
Liquidity Theory: Markets seek to engineer liquidity for real institutional entries.
Fair Value Gaps: Imbalances where price is expected to react or rebalance.
Change in State of Delivery (CISD): Confirmation that the market's delivery mechanism has shifted, validating bias continuation.
Flow State Principle: Seamlessly aligning higher timeframe liquidity draws with lower timeframe confirmation to maximize trade probability.
🎨 Customization Options:
Adjust sensitivity (High / Medium / Low) for volatile or calm conditions.
Customize FVG visibility, CISD display, labels, line colors, and sizing.
Set checklist visibility and manual tracking of SMT or aligned bias.
✅ Recommended for:
Traders studying Inner Circle Trader (ICT) models.
Intraday scalpers and swing traders seeking confluence-driven setups.
Traders looking for a structured, checklist-based execution process.
ICT Turtle Soup Ultimate V2📜 ICT Turtle Soup Ultimate V2 — Advanced Liquidity Reversal System
Overview:
The ICT Turtle Soup Ultimate V2 is a next-generation liquidity reversal indicator built on the principles of smart money concepts (SMC) and the classic ICT Turtle Soup setup. It is designed to detect false breakouts (liquidity grabs) at key swing points, enhanced by proprietary logic that filters out low-quality signals using a combination of trend context, kill zone timing, candle wick behavior, and multi-timeframe imbalance zones.
This tool is ideal for intraday traders seeking high-probability entry signals near liquidity pools and imbalance zones — where smart money makes its move.
🔍 What This Script Does
🧠 Liquidity Grab Detection (Turtle Soup Core Logic)
The script scans for recent swing highs/lows using a user-defined lookback.
A signal is generated when price breaks above/below a previous swing level but closes back inside — indicating a liquidity run and likely reversal.
A special Wick Trap Mode enhances this logic by detecting long-wick fakeouts — where the wick grabs stops but the candle body closes opposite the breakout direction.
📉 Trend Filter with ATR Buffer
Optional trend filter uses a simple moving average (SMA) to gauge market direction.
Instead of hard filtering, it applies an ATR-based buffer to allow for entries near the trend line, reducing signal suppression from micro-fluctuations.
🕰️ Kill Zone Session Filtering
Only show signals during institutional trading hours:
London Session
New York AM
Or any custom user-defined session
Helps traders avoid low-volume hours and focus on where stop hunts and price expansions typically occur.
🧱 Multi-Timeframe FVG Confluence (Optional)
Signal validation is strengthened by checking if price is within a higher timeframe Fair Value Gap — commonly used to identify imbalances or inefficiencies.
Filters out setups that lack underlying displacement or order flow justification.
🎨 Visual Feedback
Plots 🔺 bullish and 🔻 bearish markers at signal candles.
Optionally displays:
Swing High/Low Labels (SH / SL)
Reversal distance labels
Background color shading on valid signals
Includes built-in alerts for automated trade notification.
🔑 Unique Benefits
Wick Trap Detection: A proprietary approach to detecting stop hunts via wick behavior, not just candle closes.
ATR-based trend filtering: Avoids unnecessary filtering while still maintaining directional bias.
All-in-one system: No need to stack multiple indicators — swing detection, reversal logic, session filtering, and imbalance confirmation are all integrated.
💡 How to Use
Enable Wick Trap Mode to detect stealthy liquidity grabs with strong wicks.
Use Kill Zone filters to trade only when institutions are active.
Optionally enable FVG confluence to improve confidence in reversal zones.
Watch for Bullish signals near SL levels and Bearish signals near SH levels.
Combine with your own execution strategy or other SMC tools for optimal results.
🔗 Best Used With:
Maximize your edge by combining this script with complementary SMC-based tools:

SuperTrend Momentum OscillatorOverview
The SuperTrend Momentum Oscillator (SMO) is a powerful technical analysis tool designed to identify trend direction and strength in financial markets. It combines short-term and long-term oscillator calculations to provide traders with a comprehensive view of market conditions through an intuitive candle-based visualization system.
Key Features
Dual-period oscillator system (short-term and long-term)
Candle-based visualization showing trend direction and alignment
Color-coded trend direction based on the main (slower) trend line
Candle size reflecting alignment between fast and slow components
High-confidence "Super" signals (green diamonds for buys, purple diamonds for sells)
Market liquidity insights through oscillator readings
Understanding the Candle Visualization
Main Trend vs. Fast Money
The SMO uses two key components that work together:
Main Trend Line (Slower): The longer-period oscillator that acts as the primary trend indicator
Dictates the overall color of the candles (green for uptrend, red for downtrend)
Represents the dominant market direction
Fast Line (Quicker): The shorter-period oscillator that reacts more quickly to price changes
Helps determine the size of candles through its alignment with the main trend
Represents "fast money" or shorter-term price reactions
Candle Components and Their Meaning
1. Candle Color
The color of each candle is determined by the direction of the main trend line:
Green Candles: Main trend line is rising (bullish)
Indicates an overall uptrend regardless of short-term fluctuations
Remains green even when the fast line temporarily moves against the trend
Red Candles: Main trend line is falling (bearish)
Indicates an overall downtrend regardless of short-term fluctuations
Remains red even when the fast line temporarily moves against the trend
2. Candle Body Size
The body size of each candle represents the alignment between fast and main trend lines:
Large Bodies: Both fast and main trend lines are moving in the same direction
Trading Action: Strong confirmation of the trend direction
Confidence Level: High confidence signals
Small Bodies: Fast line is moving against the main trend line
Trading Action: Exercise caution; potential for temporary pullback or consolidation
Confidence Level: Lower confidence in immediate continuation
3. Wick Length
Wicks (shadows) provide additional information about price rejection and volatility:
Long Wicks: Indicate price rejection and potential volatility
Trading Action: Be cautious of trend continuation when long wicks appear
Confidence Level: Reduced confidence in immediate trend continuation
Short Wicks: Indicate strong directional control with minimal rejection
Trading Action: More confidence in trend continuation
Confidence Level: Higher confidence in the current trend direction
Candle Patterns Over Time
The progression of candles provides valuable trend information:
Large Green Candles: Main trend is up and fast line confirms (strong bullish)
Trading Action: Consider entering or adding to long positions
Confidence Level: High confidence in uptrend
Small Green Candles: Main trend is up but fast line is moving down (caution in uptrend)
Trading Action: Hold existing long positions but wait before adding
Confidence Level: Moderate confidence in uptrend, possible short-term pullback
Large Red Candles: Main trend is down and fast line confirms (strong bearish)
Trading Action: Consider entering or adding to short positions
Confidence Level: High confidence in downtrend
Small Red Candles: Main trend is down but fast line is moving up (caution in downtrend)
Trading Action: Hold existing short positions but wait before adding
Confidence Level: Moderate confidence in downtrend, possible short-term bounce
Super Signals - High Confidence Trading Opportunities
The SMO focuses exclusively on high-confidence "Super" signals:
Green Diamond Super Buy Signals
Meaning: Both short-term and long-term oscillators are generating buy signals simultaneously
Visual Indicator: Green diamond markers at the bottom of the indicator (0 level)
Trading Action: Strong entry signal for long positions
Confidence Level: High confidence signal, especially when accompanied by large green candles
Purple Diamond Super Sell Signals
Meaning: Both short-term and long-term oscillators are generating sell signals simultaneously
Visual Indicator: Purple diamond markers at the top of the indicator (100 level)
Trading Action: Strong entry signal for short positions or exit signal for long positions
Confidence Level: High confidence signal, especially when accompanied by large red candles
Market Liquidity Concept
The SMO provides a unique perspective on market conditions that goes beyond traditional oscillator interpretations:
Low Oscillator Readings (Below 20)
When the oscillator shows low readings (below 20), this indicates:
Traditional interpretation: Market is oversold, potential for upward reversal
Liquidity interpretation: Insufficient money in the market
This suggests thin trading conditions where large orders may have outsized impact
Price movements may be more erratic and less predictable
Breakouts may lack follow-through due to insufficient participation
High Oscillator Readings (Above 80)
When the oscillator shows high readings (above 80), this indicates:
Traditional interpretation: Market is overbought, potential for downward reversal
Liquidity interpretation: Abundant money in the market
This suggests deep trading conditions with high participation
Price movements tend to be more orderly and trend-based
Breakouts may have stronger follow-through due to high participation
Trading Strategies with SMO
Strategy 1: Main Trend with Alignment Confirmation
This strategy uses the main trend direction with alignment confirmation:
Entry Criteria:
Main trend direction is established (green or red candles)
Fast line aligns with main trend (large candles)
Super signal confirms (green or purple diamond)
Exit Criteria:
For long positions: When candles turn red or Super Sell signal appears
For short positions: When candles turn green or Super Buy signal appears
Stop Loss Placement:
For long positions: Below recent swing low
For short positions: Above recent swing high
Strategy 2: Counter-Trend Opportunity Detection
This strategy identifies potential counter-trend opportunities:
Entry Criteria:
Small candles appear (indicating disagreement between fast and main trend lines)
Oscillator reaches extreme levels (above 80 or below 20)
Wait for candle color change before entering
Position Sizing:
Use smaller position sizes for counter-trend trades
Increase size only when main trend confirms the new direction
Exit Criteria:
Take profit at the first sign of alignment in the opposite direction
Use tighter stops than with trend-following trades
Strategy 3: Market Liquidity Strategy
This strategy incorporates the market liquidity concept:
For Low Liquidity Conditions (Readings below 20):
Wait for Super Buy signals (green diamond)
Use smaller position sizes
Be prepared for potentially erratic price movements
Look for signs of increasing liquidity (expanding candle bodies) before adding to positions
For High Liquidity Conditions (Readings above 80):
Consider holding positions longer despite "overbought" readings
Use trailing stops to capture extended moves
Be aware that trends may persist longer than expected
Practical Trading Scenarios
Scenario 1: Strong Trend Confirmation
Candle Pattern: Series of large green candles (main trend up, fast line confirms)
Signal: Green diamond Super Buy marker at the bottom (0 level)
Background: Intensifying green gradient
Action: Enter long position with confidence
Stop Loss: Below recent swing low
Take Profit: When candles become small or turn red
Scenario 2: Trend Weakening Detection
Candle Pattern: Green candles becoming smaller (main trend still up, but fast line diverging)
Signal: No new signals
Background: Fading green gradient
Action: Tighten stops on long positions, prepare for potential reversal
Reasoning: Fast money is starting to move against the main trend
Scenario 3: Trend Reversal Identification
Candle Pattern: Transition from small green candles to red candles (main trend changing)
Signal: Appearance of purple diamond Super Sell marker at the top (100 level)
Background: Changing from green to red gradient
Action: Exit long positions and potentially enter short positions
Timing: Most effective when reversal occurs near overbought (80) level
Forever Model [Pro+] (Sniper)Introduction
Forever Model (Sniper) is a clean, structured framework for visualizing internal liquidity to external liquidity rotations. It identifies shifts in market delivery by combining internal liquidity zones (Fair Value Gaps), divergence between correlated markets (Smart Money Technique), and lower timeframe orderflow changes (Orderblocks).
Designed for repeatability, the model helps analysts build confidence through familiarity, not complexity.
Rather than attempting to forecast direction, this model focuses on recognizing recurring patterns in delivery behavior across Timeframes. It presents a structured visual logic that can support manual analysis, with the aid of alerts that prompt analysts to investigate and validate potential price rotations.
The model is non-repainting, thoughtfully built to highlight past rotations once formed. It offers flexibility across assets and Timeframes, adapting to analysts' preferences while remaining consistent in its components.
Description
The model is organized into a three-part sequence. These three conditions form the visual foundation of the model. All parameters can be customized to match your preferred timeframe, session, and market:
Internal Range Liquidity Tag (IRL)
Price must interact with a defined internal inefficiency—typically a Fair Value Gap (FVG), which is an area between a three candle structure where price moves rapidly, leaving an imbalance that may later be revisited to be filled for efficiency.
Smart Money Technique Divergence Detected (SMT)
SMT transpires as a crack in correlation between two assets – this divergence is used to indicate potential shifts in price delivery.
SMT can be observed between two correlated assets, where one makes a lower low while the other holds a higher low (or conversely, one makes a higher high while the other forms a lower high).
Similarly, SMT can also occur between inverse correlated assets, where one makes a lower low while the other holds a lower high (or conversely, one makes a higher high while the other forms a higher low).
Change in State of Delivery (CISD)
After SMT occurs, the model identifies a CISD—a strong close engulfing the body of a previous directional candle that sweeps a short-term high or low. This suggests that price may be shifting from one delivery regime to another. The candle is labelled as an Orderblock (OB) candidate, with optional projected measures for better range of opportunity estimation.
Key Features
Model History Control
Controls how many past model formations appear on the chart, with a maximum of 40. Analysts may use shorter history for live charting or increase the count when studying past performance or recurring conditions.
When History is equal to 0, it will only show only live models in development, or nothing if no models are currently active.
Note: historical invalidated rotations are visualized through small markers, and may not display the model's components unless reviewed in Replay Mode. This mechanism keeps the chart clean, and allows the analyst to focus on the confirmed rotations.
Directional Bias Filter
Filters whether the model shows formations in only one direction or both. For example, selecting “Bullish” displays only internal range zones and divergence setups that meet criteria for upside movement. This feature is crucial for allowing analysts to align with higher Timeframe bias or studying unidirectional structures.
SMT Pair Input
The model compares your active chart with a second asset to detect SMT Divergence. You may manually enter a symbol (e.g., ES1!, BTCUSD, NZDUSD) or use Automatic SMT Pair Detection , which selects the most relevant correlated market. Inverse SMT inverts the logic, useful for negatively correlated pairs (e.g., gold vs dollar).
For example, although the Automatic SMT Pair Detection for CME_MINI:NQ1! is CME_MINI:ES1! , one may decide to use a leading stock in the NASDAQ such as NASDAQ:NVDA :
Timeframe Alignment
Defines which higher Timeframe the IRL is drawn from, and which lower Timeframe is used to evaluate the Model's conditions. These Timeframe Alignments can be selected individually to only showcase a specific combination of IRL and LTF Conditions; for a more dynamic approach, the "Automatic" option adjusts these pairings based on the current chart Timeframe. By selecting the "Custom" option, analysts can define and monitor their own preferred Timeframe Alignment.
Example: 5m Conditions ➞ 1H IRL vs. 4H Conditions ➞ Weekly IRL
Fair Value Gap (FVG) Visualization
Fair Value Gaps are areas where price moved quickly between two candles without overlap—these areas represent the IRL of the model, and are often revisited before continuing. Optionally, the analyst can decide to showcase the Consequent Encroachment (CE), the midpoint where price begins to fill the imbalance. Further, the analyst can maintain a cleaner chart by only showing FVG where SMT occurs, substantially limiting the number of drawings on the chart.
SMT Visualization
Draws visual lines connecting SMT points between the HTF reference points of the current chart's asset, and the SMT Pair asset. Helps analysts confirm divergence location and relationship at a glance, especially when reviewing multiple correlated pairs.
Liquidity Sweep Visualization
Most recent short-term liquidity swept, which resulted in a CISD. Marking this liquidity pool—a high or low that has been taken out—provides context and can give additional insight to evaluate the current market rotation.
Orderblock + Projections (OB)
When a CISD is recognized, an OB candidate is plotted. Projections from the OB can be displayed at customizable distances, serving as measurements for better range of opportunity estimation.
External Range Liquidity (ERL)
External Range Liquidity refers to price levels that sit beyond internal structures—typically local highs or lows that may be revisited after a retracement, for continuation.
Session Filters + Timezone Control
Define up to four time blocks (e.g., London Open, NY AM, PM session, Asia) for when the model is active. Timezones are fully customizable, supporting global use cases and precise filtering of formations to sessions with expected volume or cleaner structure.
Information Table
A compact, floating panel is available to display key model parameters in real time: Timeframe Alignment, Bias Direction, Active SMT Pair, Time Filter Conditions, Date.
This feature provides immediate context under which the model is operating — especially useful during active chart review or multi-pair monitoring. The table can be repositioned, resized, or disabled entirely depending on visual preference.
Model Markers & Backtest Support
The model includes a visual marker system to support chart review and backtesting. These overlays provide reference points for past structure, showcasing the following:
Reaching an OB Projection after revisiting the OB
Reaching the External Range Liquidity after revisiting the OB
Reaching an OB Projection without revisiting the OB
Reaching the External Range Liquidity without revisiting the OB
Invalidating the detected OB
Fully Automated Framework: all these components, when put together in the Forever Model ($niper), yield a clean and simple approach to studying and observing market rotations, empowering analysts in seeing the market through $niper's point of view. Each component is customizable to the analyst's liking to match their unique visual and technical preferences.
Usage Guidance:
Add Forever Model ($niper) to your TradingView chart.
Select your preferred SMT Pair, Timeframe Alignments, Model Style, and Time Filters.
Automate your analysis process with Forever Model (Sniper) and leverage it into your existing strategies to fine-tune your view through Sniper's point of view.

[TehThomas] - ICT SMT DivergencesIntroduction
SMT Divergences is a cutting-edge trading tool designed for traders who utilize Smart Money Techniques (SMT), a core concept in the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. This indicator is specifically built to detect SMT divergences by comparing price action across multiple correlated assets. It helps traders identify institutional activity, liquidity grabs, and inefficiencies in the market, offering valuable insights for high-probability trade setups.
Smart Money Techniques revolve around the idea that institutional traders and large market participants leave behind footprints in the form of price divergences. By analyzing multiple asset pairs simultaneously, this indicator helps traders pinpoint areas where one market structure contradicts another, revealing potential trade opportunities before the majority of retail traders notice them.
What is SMT Divergence?
Smart Money Divergence (SMT) occurs when correlated assets or markets behave differently in key areas of interest. These divergences often indicate market inefficiencies caused by liquidity grabs or institutional order flow. There are two main types of SMT divergences:
1. Bearish SMT Divergence (Smart Money Distribution) 🔴
Occurs when:
One asset makes a higher high, while another correlated asset makes a lower high.
This signals underlying weakness in the price action of the first asset.
Institutions may be offloading positions, preparing for a downward move.
📉 Example: If GBP/USD makes a higher high, but EUR/USD makes a lower high, it indicates potential weakness in GBP/USD and a possible short opportunity.
2. Bullish SMT Divergence (Smart Money Accumulation) 🔵
Occurs when:
One asset makes a lower low, while another correlated asset makes a higher low.
This suggests strength and potential accumulation by institutional traders.
Smart Money may be positioning for a bullish reversal.
📈 Example: If NASDAQ (US100) makes a lower low, but S&P 500 (US500) makes a higher low, it could indicate bullish strength in the stock market, suggesting a possible long trade.
How This Indicator Works
The SMT Divergences automatically identifies and plots SMT divergences on your chart, allowing you to spot hidden market imbalances at a glance.
🔍 Key Features
✅ Compare Up to 4 Assets Simultaneously – Select up to four correlated pairs to compare against the main charted asset.
✅ Automatic Detection of SMT Divergences – The script finds divergences in swing highs and swing lows and visually marks them on the chart.
✅ Customizable Line Styles & Colors – Adjust the appearance of the divergence lines and labels to suit your trading style.
✅ Smart Labeling System – Displays which asset pairs are diverging, making it easy to analyze market conditions.
✅ Works Across Multiple Markets – Use for Forex, Indices, Crypto, and Commodities, giving traders flexibility in different asset classes.
✅ Designed for ICT Traders – Aligns perfectly with other ICT concepts such as Liquidity Zones, Order Blocks, and Fair Value Gaps (FVGs).
🛠 Indicator Settings & Customization
The indicator provides various settings to tailor it to your trading preferences:
Pivot Lookback Length: Adjusts how many bars the indicator looks back to determine swing highs/lows.
Symbol Selection: Choose up to four additional assets to compare against your main trading pair.
Divergence Line Colors: Customize the color of bearish (red) and bullish (blue) divergences for better visibility.
Line Styles: Choose between solid, dotted, or dashed lines to highlight divergences in your preferred way.
Label Customization: Modify text color and display preferences for a clean and informative chart layout.
How to Use This Indicator in Your Trading Strategy
This indicator is best used in combination with other ICT concepts to improve confluence and increase trade accuracy. Here’s how you can integrate it into your trading strategy:
🔹 Step 1: Identify SMT Divergences
Wait for bullish or bearish SMT divergences to appear on your chart.
Check if the divergence aligns with key liquidity zones, fair value gaps (FVGs), or order blocks.
🔹 Step 2: Confirm Institutional Activity
Look for liquidity sweeps (stop hunts) before a potential reversal.
If a bearish SMT divergence forms near a major resistance level, it may signal Smart Money selling.
If a bullish SMT divergence forms near a support zone, it could indicate accumulation.
🔹 Step 3: Enter a Trade with Confluence
Combine SMT divergences with market structure shifts to time entries.
Use additional ICT tools like Premium & Discount Arrays, Volume Profile, and Market Maker Models for confirmation.
Set stop-losses above liquidity zones and aim for high-risk reward ratios.
🔹 Step 4: Manage Risk & Take Profits

SL Hunting Detector📌 Step 1: Identify Liquidity Zones
The script plots high-liquidity zones (red) and low-liquidity zones (green).
These are areas where big players target stop-losses before reversing the price.
Example:
If price is near a red liquidity zone, expect a potential stop-loss hunt & reversal downward.
If price is near a green liquidity zone, expect a potential stop-loss hunt & reversal upward.
📌 Step 2: Watch for Stop-Loss Hunts (Fakeouts)
The indicator marks stop-loss hunts with red (bearish) or green (bullish) arrows.
When do stop-loss hunts occur?
✅ A long wick below support (with high volume) = Stop hunt before reversal upward.
✅ A long wick above resistance (with high volume) = Stop hunt before reversal downward.
Confirmation:
Volume must spike (volume > 1.5x the average volume).
ATR-based wicks must be longer than usual (showing a stop-hunt trap).
📌 Step 3: Enter a Trade After a Stop-Hunt
🔹 Bullish Trade (Buying a Dip)
If a green arrow appears (stop-hunt below support):
✅ Enter a long (buy) trade at or just above the wick’s recovery level.
✅ Stop-loss: Below the wick’s low (avoid getting hunted again).
✅ Take-profit: Next resistance level or mid-range of the liquidity zone.
🔹 Bearish Trade (Shorting a Fakeout)
If a red arrow appears (stop-hunt above resistance):
✅ Enter a short (sell) trade at or just below the wick’s rejection level.
✅ Stop-loss: Above the wick’s high (avoid getting stopped out).
✅ Take-profit: Next support level or mid-range of the liquidity zone.
📌 Step 4: Set Alerts & Automate
✅ The indicator triggers alerts when a stop-hunt is detected.
✅ You can set TradingView to notify you instantly when:
A bullish stop-hunt occurs → Look for long entry.
A bearish stop-hunt occurs → Look for short entry.
📌 Example Trade Setup
Example (BTC Long Trade on Stop-Hunt)
BTC is near $40,000 support (green liquidity zone).
A long wick drops to $39,800 with a green arrow (bullish stop-hunt signal).
Volume spikes, and price recovers quickly back above $40,000.
Trade entry: Buy at $40,050.
Stop-loss: Below wick ($39,700).
Take-profit: $41,500 (next resistance).
Result: BTC pumps, stop-loss remains safe, and trade profits.
🔥 Final Tips
Always wait for confirmation (don’t enter blindly on signals).
Use higher timeframes (15m, 1H, 4H) for better accuracy.
Combine with Order Flow tools (like Bookmap) to see real liquidity zones.

ELC Indicator**ELC Indicator – Enigma Liquidity Concept**
The ELC Indicator is a cutting-edge tool designed for traders who want to leverage price action and liquidity concepts for high-precision trading opportunities. Unlike conventional indicators that rely purely on trend-following or oscillatory methods, ELC incorporates a unique combination of market structure, Fibonacci retracement levels, and dynamic EMA filtering to detect key buy and sell zones. This original approach helps traders capture the most relevant market movements and anticipate potential reversals with higher confidence.
---
### **What the ELC Indicator Does**
The primary goal of the ELC Indicator is to identify liquidity zones and plot Fibonacci-based levels around detected buy or sell signals. It continuously monitors price action to identify instances where significant liquidity grabs occur, signaled by breakouts beyond recent highs or lows. Once a signal is detected, the indicator plots horizontal lines at key Fibonacci ratios (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, 120%, and 180%) to give traders a clear visual framework for potential retracement or extension levels.
Additionally, the indicator includes a dynamic EMA filter, which ensures that buy signals are only triggered when the price is above the EMA and sell signals when the price is below the EMA. This filtering mechanism helps reduce false signals in choppy markets and aligns trades with the broader trend direction.
---
### **Key Features**
1. **Buy & Sell Signals**
- Buy signals are generated when a liquidity grab occurs below the previous low, and the closing price is above the candle body midpoint and the EMA.
- Sell signals are triggered when a liquidity grab occurs above the previous high, and the closing price is below the candle body midpoint and the EMA.
- Visual cues are provided via small upward (green) and downward (red) triangles on the chart.
2. **Fibonacci Levels**
- For each buy or sell signal, the indicator plots multiple horizontal lines at key Fibonacci levels. These levels can help traders set realistic profit targets and stop-loss levels.
- The plotted lines can be customized in terms of style (solid, dotted, dashed) and color (buy and sell line colors).
3. **Dynamic EMA Filtering**
- A customizable EMA filter is integrated into the logic to align trades with the prevailing trend.
- The EMA length is adjustable, allowing traders to fine-tune the indicator based on their trading style and market conditions.
4. **Alert System**
- Alerts can be enabled for both buy and sell signals, ensuring traders never miss an opportunity even when away from the screen.
- Alerts are triggered once per bar, ensuring timely notifications without excessive noise.
5. **Customizable Signal Visibility**
- Traders can toggle the visibility of the last 9 buy and sell signals. When this option is disabled, only the most recent signal is displayed, helping to declutter the chart.
---
### **How to Use the ELC Indicator**
- **Trend Following**: The ELC Indicator works well in trending markets by filtering signals based on the EMA direction. Traders can use the plotted Fibonacci levels to enter trades, set profit targets, and manage risk.
- **Reversal Trading**: The liquidity grab detection mechanism allows traders to capture potential market reversals. By waiting for price retracements to key Fibonacci levels after a signal, traders can enter trades with a favorable risk-to-reward ratio.
- **Scalping & Day Trading**: With its ability to plot key intraday levels and generate real-time alerts, the ELC Indicator is particularly useful for scalpers and day traders looking to exploit short-term market inefficiencies.
---
### **Concepts Underlying the Calculations**
1. **Liquidity Grabs**: The ELC Indicator’s core logic is based on detecting instances where the market moves beyond a recent high or low, triggering a liquidity grab. This often signals a potential reversal or continuation, depending on broader market conditions.
2. **Fibonacci Ratios**: Once a signal is detected, key Fibonacci levels are plotted to provide traders with actionable zones for trade entries, profit targets, or stop-loss placements.
3. **EMA Filtering**: The EMA acts as a dynamic trend filter, ensuring that signals are aligned with the dominant market direction. This reduces the likelihood of entering trades against the prevailing trend.
---
### **Why ELC is Unique**
The ELC Indicator stands out by combining multiple powerful trading concepts—liquidity, Fibonacci ratios, and EMA filtering—into a single tool that provides actionable and visually intuitive information. Unlike traditional trend-following indicators that lag behind price action, ELC proactively identifies key market turning points based on liquidity events. Its customizable features, real-time alerts, and comprehensive plotting of Fibonacci levels make it a versatile tool for traders across various styles and timeframes.
Whether you're a scalper looking for intraday opportunities or a swing trader aiming to capture larger moves, the ELC Indicator offers a robust framework for identifying and executing high-probability trades.
---
### **How to Get Started**
1. Add the ELC Indicator to your chart.
2. Customize the EMA length, line colors, and style based on your preference.
3. Enable alerts to receive real-time notifications of buy and sell signals.
4. Use the plotted Fibonacci levels to plan your trade entries, profit targets, and stop-loss levels.
5. Combine the signals from ELC with your existing market analysis for optimal results.

This closed-source script merges multiple facets of market dynamics into a single, user-friendly interface, designed to enhance decision-making by providing a multi-dimensional view of market behavior. By combining advanced market structure detection, liquidity event identification, Fair Value Gap analysis, and session-specific insights, this indicator offers traders a strategic advantage in navigating the complexities of financial markets.
Key Functionalities:
Market Structure Insights:
Break of Structure (BOS) and Market Structure Shifts (MSS):
Methodology: Our approach uses fractal analysis coupled with custom algorithms to dissect price movements, identifying pivotal moments where market structure breaks or shifts. The script evaluates candle patterns, volume data, and price momentum to flag these events.
Customization: Users can choose between candle close or wick confirmations and select from various line styles for visualization, tailoring the sensitivity to match their trading strategy, whether it's scalping or swing trading.
Utility: These markers act as early signals for trend changes, allowing traders to prepare for potential reversals or continuations, especially useful in volatile markets where timely decisions are crucial.
Structure Strength:
Highs and Lows Definition: The 'Structure Strength' setting in this indicator directly influences the identification of structure highs and lows. It's not just about detecting market structure; it's about defining what constitutes a significant high or low based on your trading horizon.
Swing vs. Internal Structure:
Lower Strength: Opting for a lower strength setting will highlight more extreme, swing-type structures. This means the indicator will mark out only the most pronounced highs and lows, which are ideal for traders focusing on broader market swings or longer-term trends.
Higher Strength: Conversely, increasing the strength level plots more internal structure levels. This setting is perfect for traders who want to dive into the market's micro-movements, offering insights into potential support and resistance within ongoing trends, essentially capturing more reactive and detailed price action.
Strategic Application: This adjustable parameter allows traders to zoom in or out on the market structure, aligning with their trading style or the specific market conditions they're navigating. Whether you're looking to catch significant market turns or to finesse entries and exits within a trend, the structure strength setting provides the granularity needed for nuanced market analysis.
Liquidity Sweeps:
Detection: Beyond traditional price action analysis, our indicator incorporates a unique method to spot liquidity sweeps. By analyzing price movements against historical support/resistance zones, it highlights instances where significant orders might have been absorbed, suggesting areas of potential price reversal or continuation.
Visualization: Liquidity sweeps are visually marked with customizable colors and an 'X' label, making them instantly recognizable. This feature is particularly beneficial for traders looking to enter or exit trades based on market inefficiencies or anticipated institutional activity.
Application: Traders can use these signals to anticipate where the market might react strongly, either as support for entries or as a caution for exits, enhancing trade precision.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs):
Identification: Our proprietary FVG detection algorithm looks for price discrepancies over recent bars, signaling where the market could aim to rebalance. This is not merely about spotting gaps but understanding their context within the market's flow.
Enhanced Visualization: Users can extend FVGs across the chart, providing a clearer view of potential mean reversion points or continuation levels, aiding in setting targets or stop-losses.
Strategic Use: FVGs serve as dynamic levels where traders might expect price action to revisit, offering opportunities for mean reversion trades or confirming trend strength.
Session Visualization:
Session Markers: By delineating Asia, London, and New York session times, the indicator helps traders recognize session-specific volatility, trends, and liquidity conditions. Each session can be customized for color and duration, aligning with various trading strategies.
Timeframe Correlation: Integrating session analysis with structural and liquidity insights allows for a strategy where trades are timed not just by price action but by when in the global market cycle they occur, potentially increasing the effectiveness of entry and exit points.
Watermark Display:
Personalization: Add a personal touch or brand identity to your charts with customizable text and color options for the watermark, enhancing both the aesthetic and functional aspects of your trading setup.
Originality:
This script's originality lies in its holistic approach to market analysis. The integration of these diverse yet synergistic components provides a unique toolset:
Confluence of Signals: Each element enhances the others, creating a confluence where structural changes, liquidity events, and time-based market conditions are analyzed in concert, offering a more complete trading signal than isolated indicators.
Customization for Diverse Trading Styles: From high-frequency scalping to long-term trend following, the script's flexibility caters to a broad spectrum of trading strategies by allowing adjustments in sensitivity, visualization, and application.
How to Use:
Setup: Add the script to your chart and explore the settings in the input panel. Customize the visual and functional aspects to align with your trading style.
Strategy Application:
Use BOS/MSS for trend confirmation, liquidity sweeps for entry/exit precision, FVGs for mean reversion opportunities, and session markers to time your trades optimally.
Consider combining signals for stronger trade validation; for instance, a BOS during the London session might be more significant if it coincides with a liquidity sweep and an FVG from the Asian session.
Fibonacci Bands [BigBeluga]The Fibonacci Band indicator is a powerful tool for identifying potential support, resistance, and mean reversion zones based on Fibonacci ratios. It overlays three sets of Fibonacci ratio bands (38.2%, 61.8%, and 100%) around a central trend line, dynamically adapting to price movements. This structure enables traders to track trends, visualize potential liquidity sweep areas, and spot reversal points for strategic entries and exits.
🔵 KEY FEATURES & USAGE
Fibonacci Bands for Support & Resistance:
The Fibonacci Band indicator applies three key Fibonacci ratios (38.2%, 61.8%, and 100%) to construct dynamic bands around a smoothed price. These levels often act as critical support and resistance areas, marked with labels displaying the percentage and corresponding price. The 100% band level is especially crucial, signaling potential liquidity sweep zones and reversal points.
Mean Reversion Signals at 100% Bands:
When price moves above or below the 100% band, the indicator generates mean reversion signals.
Trend Detection with Midline:
The central line acts as a trend-following tool: when solid, it indicates an uptrend, while a dashed line signals a downtrend. This adaptive midline helps traders assess the prevailing market direction while keeping the chart clean and intuitive.
Extended Price Projections:
All Fibonacci bands extend to future bars (default 30) to project potential price levels, providing a forward-looking perspective on where price may encounter support or resistance. This feature helps traders anticipate market structure in advance and set targets accordingly.
Liquidity Sweep:
--
-Liquidity Sweep at Previous Lows:
The price action moves below a previous low, capturing sell-side liquidity (stop-losses from long positions or entries for breakout traders).
The wick suggests that the price quickly reversed, leaving a failed breakout below support.
This is a classic liquidity grab, often indicating a bullish reversal .
-Liquidity Sweep at Previous Highs:
The price spikes above a prior high, sweeping buy-side liquidity (stop-losses from short positions or breakout entries).
The wick signifies rejection, suggesting a failed breakout above resistance.
This is a bearish liquidity sweep , often followed by a mean reversion or a downward move.
Display Customization:
To declutter the chart, traders can choose to hide Fibonacci levels and only display overbought/oversold zones along with the trend-following midline and mean reversion signals. This option enables a clearer focus on key reversal areas without additional distractions.
🔵 CUSTOMIZATION
Period Length: Adjust the length of the smoothed moving average for more reactive or smoother bands.
Channel Width: Customize the width of the Fibonacci channel.
Fibonacci Ratios: Customize the Fibonacci ratios to reflect personal preference or unique market behaviors.
Future Projection Extension: Set the number of bars to extend Fibonacci bands, allowing flexibility in projecting price levels.
Hide Fibonacci Levels: Toggle the visibility of Fibonacci levels for a cleaner chart focused on overbought/oversold regions and midline trend signals.
Liquidity Sweep: Toggle the visibility of Liquidity Sweep points
The Fibonacci Band indicator provides traders with an advanced framework for analyzing market structure, liquidity sweeps, and trend reversals. By integrating Fibonacci-based levels with trend detection and mean reversion signals, this tool offers a robust approach to navigating dynamic price action and finding high-probability trading opportunities.

Internal Structure: Short-term market structure, highlighting smaller movements.
External Structure: Long-term market shifts, typically more significant.
Users can choose how they want the structure to be visualized through the "Market Structure" setting, choosing from different visual methods.
Liquidity Grabs: The script identifies liquidity grabs (false breakouts designed to trap traders) by monitoring price action around highs and lows of previous bars. These are represented by diamond shapes:
Liquidity Buy: Displayed below bars when a liquidity grab occurs near a low.
Liquidity Sell: Displayed above bars when a liquidity grab occurs near a high.
Breakouts: Breakouts are detected based on strong price momentum beyond key levels:
Breakout Buy: Triggered when the price closes above the highest point of the past 20 bars with confirmation from volume and range expansion.
Breakout Sell: Triggered when the price closes below the lowest point of the past 20 bars, again with volume and range confirmation.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG): Fair value gaps (FVGs) are periods where the price moves too quickly, leaving an unbalanced market condition. The script identifies these gaps:
Bullish FVG: When there is a gap between the low of two previous bars and the high of a recent bar.
Bearish FVG: When a gap occurs between the high of two previous bars and the low of the recent bar.
FVGs are color-coded and can be filtered by their size to focus on more significant gaps.
ICT Bias: The script integrates the ICT methodology by offering an auto-calculated higher-timeframe bias:
Long Bias: Suggests the market is in an uptrend based on higher timeframe analysis.
Short Bias: Indicates a downtrend.
Neutral Bias: Suggests no clear directional bias.
Trend Lines: Automatic trend lines are drawn based on significant pivot highs and lows. These lines will dynamically adjust based on price movement. Users can control the number of trend lines displayed and extend them over time to track developing trends.
Percentile Pricing: The script also plots the 25th percentile (discount zone), 75th percentile (premium zone), and a fair value price. This helps identify whether the current price is overbought (premium) or oversold (discount).
Customization:
Zone Strength Filter: Users can set a minimum strength threshold for order blocks to be displayed.
Color Customization: Users can choose colors for demand and supply zones, market structure, breakouts, and FVGs.
Dynamic Zone Management: The script allows zones to be deleted after a certain number of bars or dynamically adjusts zones based on recent price action.
Max Zone Count: Limits the number of supply and demand zones shown on the chart to maintain clarity.
Backtesting & Win Rate: The script includes a backtesting engine to calculate the percentage of respect on the interaction between price and demand/supply zones. Results are displayed in a table at the bottom of the chart, showing the percentage rating for both long and short zones. Please note that this is not a win rate of a simulated strategy, it simply is a measure to understand if the current assets tends to respect more supply or demand zones.
How to Use:

By using this indicator, you can identify the right entry and exit points based on structural changes in the market and avoid unprofitable trades. Below, we explain the key concepts and how to apply them in trading.
🟣 Market Structure
Market Structure refers to the overall pattern of price movement in the market. Using this indicator, traders can identify uptrends and downtrends and make better trading decisions based on changes in market structure. The two key concepts here are Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHOCH).
Change of Character (CHOCH) : CHOCH occurs when the market shifts from an uptrend to a downtrend or vice versa. These changes typically indicate a broader trend reversal, and the indicator assists you in identifying them accurately.
Break of Structure (BOS) : When the market breaks a key support or resistance level, it signals a change in market structure. This indicator helps you identify these breakouts in time and take advantage of trading opportunities.
🟣 Inducement
Inducement refers to price traps set by Smart Money to trick retail traders into making the wrong trades. This indicator helps you recognize these traps and avoid unprofitable trades.
Valid Inducement : Valid Inducement refers to deliberately created price traps by major market players to gather liquidity from retail traders. Once the market has collected sufficient liquidity, it makes the real move, and professional traders use this moment to enter.
🟣 Valid Pullback
A Valid Pullback refers to a temporary market retracement, indicating a price correction within the main trend. This concept is crucial in technical analysis as it helps traders enter trades at the right time and profit from the continuation of the trend. The Market Structure indicator can identify these valid retracements, allowing traders to enter trades with greater confidence.
🟣 Point of Interest (POI)
Another important concept in market analysis is the Point of Interest (POI), referring to key price areas on the chart. POI includes zones where significant price movements are likely to occur. The Market Structure indicator helps you locate these key points and use them as entry signals for trades.
🟣 Liquidity Grab
Liquidity Grab refers to a scenario where the market intentionally moves to areas where retail traders' stop losses are placed. The goal is to gather liquidity, allowing major players to execute trades at better prices. By using this indicator, you can spot these liquidity grabs and avoid falling into price traps.
🔵 Setting
ChoCh Detector Period : The period of identifying the major market levels that occur when they break ChoCh.
BoS & Liquidity Detector Period : The period of identifying minor levels, which are used to identify BoS and Liquidity levels.
Inducement Detector Period : The period of identification of Inducement levels.
Fast Trend Detector : This feature will help you update the major market structure levels sooner.
Inducement Type Detector : Two modes "Sweeps" and "Total" can be used to identify the levels of Inducement. In "Sweeps" mode only Levels detected by touch shadow. In "Total" mode, all Levels are detected.
🔵 Conclusion
In financial market analysis and forex trading, identifying Market Structure and Inducement is crucial. Market Structure helps you detect uptrends and downtrends, and understand Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHOCH). The concept of Inducement also enables traders to spot Smart Money price traps and avoid unprofitable trades.
The Market Structure indicator is a powerful tool that, by analyzing the market structure and concepts like valid pullback and valid inducement, helps you make more precise trade entries. Additionally, by identifying POI and Liquidity Grab, the indicator gives you the ability to spot key market zones and use them to your advantage in trading.

⭐ Key Features
Swing Market Structure: Change of Character, Break of Structure
Recognize and visualize real-time market structures with swing elements. Identify and mark key structural changes in the market to visually highlight shifts in market trends and patterns. This feature is designed to alert you to significant changes in the market's behavior, signaling a potential shift from accumulation to distribution phases, or vice versa. It helps traders adapt their strategies based on evolving market dynamics.
Order Flow: Structure Fractal
Connect the successive structural high and low levels, visualizing the intricate flow of market movements. This feature highlights fractal structures within the market, enabling traders to detect significant price action patterns.
Structure Range: Determine Discount, Premium, and Equilibrium Zones
This feature provides a unique way of visualizing price areas where a security could be overbought or oversold (premium or discount zones) and where the price is expected to be fair and balanced (equilibrium zone). Distance from the current price is displayed in percentage terms, which can assist traders with crucial data for risk management and strategic planning. The Range function helps you identify the most favorable price zones for entries and set your stop-loss and take-profit levels more accurately.
Liquidity Grabs: Reveal Hidden Manipulation Attempts
Identify uncovered market areas where high liquidity trading may take place. Liquidity Grabs help track "smart money" footprints by identifying levels where large institutional traders may have induced liquidity traps. Understanding these traps can aid in avoiding false market moves and optimizing trade entries.
Institutional Interest Zones: Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps
Uncover areas where bigger orders may be lined up. Reveal zones of interest ordered by volume strength. Receive warnings about market price imbalances.
▸ Order Blocks pinpoint crucial zones where large institutional investors ("smart money") have shown strong buying or selling interest recently. These blocks can serve as a tool for identifying key areas for potential trade entries or exits.
▸ Fair Value Gaps detect discrepancies between the perceived market value and the actual market price, revealing potential areas for price correction. With its mitigation settings, you can fine-tune the FVG detection according to the magnitude of value misalignment you consider significant.
Mitigation types dictate how price interacts with a zone, with order blocks requiring a close through (indicating stronger price movement) and fair value gaps requiring a wick through (hinting at weak rejection).

⭐ Why SMC?
In the ever-evolving trading landscape, mainstream methods and strategies can quickly become outdated as they are widely adopted. Liquidity is constantly sought after, and the best source for this is exploring and exploiting trading strategies that are widely accepted and applied. Currently, one of these strategies is the SMC (Supply, Demand, and Price Action).
It's no coincidence that our educational materials incorporate concepts such as liquidity grabs (LG) and Smart Money Traps (SMT). As the application of SMC gains popularity among retail traders, trading with this approach becomes more challenging. Therefore, the recent focus has been on reforming the SMC methodology, as it is the only method that relies on real price movements and will always work when applied correctly.
The indicator reflects our personal use and deep comprehension of Smart Money Concepts. It provides streamlined tools for tracking algorithmic trends with modern visualizations, without unnecessary clutter.
▸ What does the proper application of SMC entail?
Many SMC traders associate their key areas of interest with the market structure, which is generally considered acceptable. However, depending solely on a single foundation can lead to significant deviations, which may cause notable impacts on trading results. Moreover, if the basis for the market structure calculation is inaccurate, the consequences can be even more severe. It's akin to risking money on a lottery ticket, believing it will be a winner.
Our methodology is different, and it may ensure longevity in the financial markets. The structure remains crucial, but it is not the sole foundation of everything; instead, it serves as a validation tool. Each calculation, such as order blocks (OB), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), liquidity grabs (LG), range analysis, and more, is independent and unique, separate from the structure. However, validation must ultimately come from the structure itself.
We employ individual and high-quality filters: before a function calculation is validated by the structure, it must undergo rigorous testing based on its own set of validation conditions. This approach aims to enhance robustness and accuracy, providing traders with a reliable framework for making informed trading decisions.
▸ An example of structure validation: Order Block with "Swing Sensitivity"
These order blocks will only be displayed and utilized by the script if there is a swing structure validation with a valid break. In other words, the presence of a confirmed swing Change of Character (ChoCh) or Break of Structure (BoS) is essential for the Order Block to be considered valid and relevant.
This approach ensures that the order blocks are aligned with the overall market structure and are not based on isolated or unreliable price movements. Whether it's Fair Value Gaps (FVG), Liquidity Grabs (LG), Range calculations, or other functionalities, the same underlying principle holds true. The background structure calculation serves as a validation mechanism for the data and insights generated by these functions, ensuring they adhere to the specific criteria and rules established within our methodology. By incorporating this robust validation process, traders can have confidence in the reliability and accuracy of the information provided by the indicator, allowing them to make informed trading decisions based on validated data and analysis.

👉 Usage - the general approach
Determine your trading style and build your basic strategy:
The indicator helps you understand your trading style, whether it's swing trading, scalping or another approach. By analyzing the SMC indicator, you gain valuable information about potential market trends, entry and exit points, and overall market sentiment.
Steps:
Identify Trading Style: Determine whether you are a swing trader, scalper, or long-term investor. This will influence how you use the indicator.
Analyze Market Trends: Use the SMC indicator to observe market trends and identify potential entry and exit points.
Adapt Strategies: Adjust your strategies based on the market dynamics revealed by the SMC indicator, such as changes in order flow or market structure.
👉 Example of usage
In the following chart, you'll notice how we've utilized the indicator to formulate a strategic trading approach. We've employed Order Blocks equipped with volume parameters to identify crucial market zones. Simultaneously, we've leveraged swing/internal market structures to gain insights into potential long- and short-term market turnarounds. Lastly, we've examined trend line liquidity zones to pinpoint probable impulses and breakouts within ongoing trends.
Now we can see how the price descended to the order block with the highest volume, which we had previously marked as our point of interest for an entry. As the price closed below the median Order Block, we noted its mitigation. After an internal CHoCH, it's directing us towards the main Order Block as a target.

Lune Oscillator Premium⬛️ Overview
Lune Oscillator is an advanced and innovative TradingView indicator designed to enhance your market analysis. Rather than merely improving visuals or merging traditional indicators, it introduces a series of unique features, each with its unique value proposition. This script stands out due to its originality, and the significant utility it brings to traders.
🟦 Features
Oscillator features an assortment of sophisticated tools aimed at refining your trading strategies:
🔹 Trend Oscillator: This feature integrates market trend and momentum analysis into one dynamic oscillator. It's designed to facilitate market trend and momentum analysis, and is invaluable to traders as it combines both trend and momentum analysis into one tool. For instance, if a ticker shows signs of slowing momentum after a recent rally, the Trend Oscillator could predict a potential trend reversal. The Trend Oscillator’s sensitivity and velocity settings can be tailored to suit your trading style and strategy. It is developed using a custom formula similar to WaveTrend but optimized for better detection of trend and momentum shifts.
🔹 Market Peak: Market Peak identifies potential market peaks and troughs using a percentile-based system. It's aimed at detecting overextensions in the Trend Oscillator, indicating potential market reversals. Compact and user-friendly, this feature signals potential trade exit points in case of an impending market reversal. Its sensitivity can be adjusted to react to either short-term or long-term market changes. By analyzing the market's average move, it detects overbought or oversold conditions when the percentage gets too extreme.
🔹 Money Pulse: The Money Pulse feature serves as a radar for money inflow or outflow, helping users detect nascent trends and reversals. It enables traders to spot early opportunities and reversals and align their strategies with institutional and large players. For example, a bullish Money Pulse during market consolidation could signal money influx and the beginning of an accumulation phase. The sensitivity of the Market Pulse can be adapted to short-term or long-term changes. This feature employs an improved version of the Money Flow concept.
🔹 Liquidity Pulse: Liquidity Pulse provides a unique perspective of asset liquidity by tracking market inflow and outflow volumes. It assists traders in understanding the market's liquidity sentiment, which is particularly useful for long-term trades and confluence. For instance, a bullish Liquidity Pulse could signal abundant liquidity, potentially driving up the price. The sensitivity setting can be adjusted for short-term or long-term liquidity changes. This feature utilizes an enhanced version of the On-Balance Volume concept.
🔹 Institutional Wave: This feature tracks the cumulative inflow and outflow for a specific ticker, helping traders monitor institutional money flows. It enables the analysis of a ticker's accumulation and distribution, assisting in detecting early trade entries and avoiding dumps. For example, a decrease in volume during consolidation after a price rally could indicate sell-off and potential price drop. The Institutional Wave's sensitivity can be adapted to either short-term or long-term changes. It operates on the Accumulation and Distribution concept.
🔹 Power Wave: The Power Wave evaluates market strength and momentum, indicating market power shifts. It helps traders understand the true power behind a market move. For instance, a decreasing Power Wave during a bullish move could indicate a weakening trend, suggesting a bearish strategy instead. The sensitivity of the Power Wave can be set for short-term or long-term market changes. The Power Wave calculates market strength by evaluating price change volatility.
🔹 Market Pressure: This feature detects shifts in buy and sell pressure, signaling potential turning points. It helps traders understand the power balance in the market. For example, a bullish Market Pressure shift during a short trade could suggest a momentum gain by bulls, indicating a trade exit. The Market Pressure's sensitivity can be adjusted for short-term or long-term changes. This feature uses volume data and moving averages to detect market pressure shifts, filtering out false and volatile signals.
🔹 Oscillator Copilot: Incorporating Smart Bias and Reversal Radar, the Oscillator Copilot helps identify market trends and potential reversals. It searches for confluence within multiple Oscillator features, providing a straightforward assistive tool. For example, a bullish Smart Bias signal during a long trade could suggest staying in the trade longer, while a bearish Reversal Radar signal could indicate the need to exit the trade.
🔹 Divergence Detection: This feature offers a sophisticated detection system for both regular and hidden market divergences, providing additional confluence and highlighting hard-to-detect divergences. For instance, a bullish Regular Divergence could signal a potential trade entry or exit depending on your overall market sentiment and bias. This feature uses fractals to effectively detect divergences in the market based on the Trend Oscillator.
🔹 Color Themes: Personalize your charting experience with various color themes. This feature enhances the visual appeal of your chart, offering easy setup and use. For example, use the “Ice” theme for a unique and colorful experience or the “Dark” theme for a more subdued look. Themes available include Default, Light, Dark, and Ice. This feature modifies the colors of your candles and features based on the selected theme.
These features and tools collectively offer a comprehensive solution for traders to understand and navigate the financial markets. It's important to remember that they are designed to assist in making informed trading decisions and should be used as part of a balanced trading strategy.
🟧 Usage
Lune Oscillator's features are designed to be both standalone tools and components of a larger, integrated trading strategy. It is important to understand each feature and experiment with different configurations to best suit your unique trading needs.
🔸 Example #1: The following demonstrates how the Oscillator Copilot can be an excellent trade assistant.
The Oscillator Copilot leverages multiple Lune Oscillator features, allowing traders to quickly assess overall market sentiment. It uses Smart Bias and Reversal Radar tools to deliver these insights. For instance, at point 1, a bullish Smart Bias (denoted by a green circle) represents a collective bullish sentiment from multiple components of Lune Oscillator, often leading to a price increase. Conversely, at point 2, we identify two bearish reversal signals from the Reversal Radar (highlighted by red triangles). This convergence of bearish signals from multiple components hints at a potential market reversal, often followed by a gradual price decline.
🔸 Example #2: This example shows how the Market Peak feature can aid in detecting potential market tops and bottoms.
Market Peak calculates how overbought or oversold a ticker is using a percentile system, offering insights into potential reversals. At points 1 and 2, we observe bearish Market Peaks suggesting overbought conditions and indicating a possible shift in trend. Subsequent to these peaks, we witness a price drop, mirroring the overbought market conditions. In contrast, at point 3, a bullish Market Peak suggests an oversold market, indicating a potential trend reversal and subsequent price increase.
🔸 Example #3: This is an example of how combining various features such as the Money Pulse, Liquidity Pulse, Institutional Wave, and Market Peak, can help make more informed trades.
Money Pulse and Liquidity Pulse provide insights into the money and liquidity flow in the market, respectively, while the Institutional Wave monitors the cumulative volume shifts and changes. Together with Market Peak, they offer a comprehensive view of the market's state.
At point 1, the positive Liquidity Wave (crossing above 0) suggests a bullish market volume. At point 2, a bullish Market Pressure indicates an increase in buying pressure, reinforcing the bullish sentiment. At point 3, a negative Liquidity Wave (crossing below 0) indicates a bearish sentiment, suggesting that market participants are exiting their positions. The concurrent Market Pressure hints at an increase in selling activity. Taking all these factors into account provides a strong indicator that the market sentiment has turned bearish.
🟥 Conclusion
Lune Oscillator aims to provide a suite of tools that bring unique value to traders. Each feature is designed to offer different, yet complementary, perspectives on the market, allowing users to piece together a more comprehensive understanding of their trading environment.

Oculus Algo-Adapted SystemOculus Algo-Adapted System
The "Oculus Algo-Adapted System" is a powerful trading indicator designed for precision entries, blending multiple technical indicators to provide a comprehensive view of the market. It combines dynamic Exponential Moving Averages (EMA), volume spikes, and liquidity sweep detection to offer accurate entry signals for both long and short positions.
Key Features:
EMA Crossovers: The system uses two EMAs — a fast 10-period EMA and a slower 20-period EMA — to gauge trend direction. When the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA, it signals bullish momentum, and vice versa for bearish trends.
Volume Spike Detection: The indicator tracks significant volume spikes, highlighting them with background color changes. This helps identify potential breakout or breakdown opportunities.
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price): The optional VWAP overlay helps traders identify potential support/resistance levels based on volume-weighted price action.
Liquidity Sweep Alerts: The indicator identifies liquidity sweeps (also known as wick rejections), marking key reversal points. Bullish sweeps are marked with downward-facing triangles and bearish sweeps with upward-facing triangles.
Precise Entry Signals: The indicator uses a combination of volume spikes, EMA direction, and liquidity sweeps to generate clear buy (long) and sell (short) entry signals. Labels appear directly on the chart to indicate when the system triggers a trade.
How to Use:
Long Entry: A long entry is signaled when a volume spike occurs, followed by a bearish liquidity sweep and the price being above both the 10 EMA and 20 EMA.
Short Entry: A short entry is signaled when a volume spike occurs, followed by a bullish liquidity sweep, and the price is below both the 10 EMA and 20 EMA.
This indicator is designed for traders looking for high-quality, adaptive trading signals based on real-time market conditions.
