[TehThomas] - Fair Value GapsThis script is designed to automatically detect and visualize Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on your chart in a clean, intuitive, and highly responsive way. It’s built with active traders in mind, offering both dynamic updates and customization options that help you stay focused on price action without being distracted by outdated or irrelevant information.
What Are Fair Value Gaps?
Fair Value Gaps are areas on a chart where there’s an inefficiency in price, typically formed when price moves aggressively in one direction, leaving a gap between the wicks of consecutive candles. These gaps represent imbalanced price action where not all buy or sell orders were efficiently matched. As a result, they often become magnet zones where price returns later to "fill" the imbalance before continuing in its intended direction. Many traders use them as points of interest for entries, re-entries, or anticipating reversals and consolidations.
This concept is frequently used in Smart Money and ICT-based trading models, where understanding how price seeks efficiency is crucial to anticipating future moves. When combined with concepts like liquidity, displacement, and market structure, FVGs become powerful tools for technical decision-making.
Script Features & Functionality
1. Live Updating Gaps (Dynamic Shrinking)
One of the core features of this script is its ability to track and dynamically shrink Fair Value Gaps as price trades into them. Instead of leaving a static zone on your chart, the gap will adjust in real-time, reflecting the portion that has been filled. This gives you a much more accurate picture of remaining imbalance and avoids misleading zones.
2. Automatic Cleanup After Fill
Once price fully fills an FVG, the script automatically removes it from the chart. This helps keep your workspace clean and focused only on relevant price zones. There’s no need to manually manage your gaps, everything is handled behind the scenes to reduce clutter and distraction.
3. Static Mode Option
While dynamic updating is the default, some traders may prefer to keep the original size of the gap visible even after partial fills. For that reason, the script includes a toggle to switch from live-updating (shrinking) mode to static mode. In static mode, FVGs stay fixed from the moment they are drawn, giving you a more traditional visual reference point.
4. Multi-Timeframe Support (MTF)
You can now view higher timeframe FVGs, such as those from the 1H or 4H chart, while analyzing lower timeframes like the 5-minute. This allows you to see key imbalances from broader market context without having to flip between charts. FVGs from higher timeframes will be drawn distinctly so you can differentiate them at a glance.
5. Cleaner Visualization
The script is designed with clarity in mind. All drawings are streamlined, and filled gaps are removed to maintain a minimal, distraction-free chart. This makes it easier to combine this tool with other indicators or price-action-based strategies without overloading your workspace.
6. Suitable for All Market Types
This script can be used on any asset that displays candlestick-based price action — including crypto, forex, indices, and stocks. Whether you're scalping low-timeframe setups or swing trading with a higher timeframe bias, FVGs remain a useful concept and this script adapts to your trading style.
Use Case Examples
On a 5-minute chart, display 1-hour FVGs to catch major imbalance zones during intraday trading.
Combine the FVGs with liquidity levels and inducement patterns to build ICT-style trade setups.
Use live-updating gaps to monitor in-progress fills and evaluate whether a zone still holds validity.
Set the script to static mode to perform backtesting or visual replay with historical setups.
Final Notes
Fair Value Gaps are not a standalone trading signal, but when used with market structure, liquidity, displacement, and order flow concepts, they provide high-probability trade locations that align with institutional-style trading models. This script simplifies the visualization of those zones so you can react faster, stay focused on clean setups, and eliminate unnecessary distractions.
Whether you’re trading high volatility breakouts or patiently waiting for retracements into unfilled imbalances, this tool is designed to support your edge with precision and flexibility.
Apex Edge - Session Sweep ProApex Edge Session Sweep Pro
By Apex Edge | 2025 Edition
🔍 What is it?
The Apex Session Sweep Pro is a precision trading tool designed for identifying high-probability liquidity sweep entries during key global market sessions. It combines powerful sweep detection logic with dynamic candle colouring, session visualization, TP projections, and real-time alerts — all within a clean, performance-optimized Pine Script engine.
This is not your average session box indicator. This is Apex-grade.
⚙️ How it Works
The indicator detects session liquidity sweeps by tracking price action relative to previous session highs and lows. When a session high/low is swept (i.e., price breaches it and then closes in the opposite direction), it generates a signal:
Buy Signal → Price sweeps previous low and closes back above it
Sell Signal → Price sweeps previous high and closes back below it
Each session is boxed on the chart (Tokyo, London, New York, Sydney), color-coded, and dynamically labelled.
Upon detecting a valid sweep, the script:
Plots a small entry label (toggleable)
Projects up to 5 customizable TP levels
Coloured candles for visual trade direction
Alerts for Buy or Sell sweep signals (optional)
All elements are memory-managed and customizable to suit your trading style.
🧠 Key Features
✅ Smart Sweep Detection Logic
✅ Global Market Session Boxes (Custom Times)
✅ Toggleable Entry Labels + TP Levels
✅ Candle Colouring by Signal
✅ Manual TP input + TP toggles
✅ Real-time Alerts for Apex entries
🕒 Why Are My Sessions Offset?
Your chart’s time zone may be different from UTC. This script is UTC-based by design, so if your chart is set to UTC+1, for example, the sessions will appear one hour later. Either:
Adjust your chart to UTC or or Exchange for perfect alignment,
Or tweak the session input times manually.
🧰 Who is this for?
This tool is made for:
Intraday traders looking for sweeps into liquidity
SMC (Smart Money Concept) strategists
Forex, crypto, and indices traders
Anyone who uses session-based levels to define entries
Whether you scalp London or ride NY swings, this tool frames each session cleanly — and shows you where the traps are laid.
🚨 Disclaimer
This indicator is a technical tool, not financial advice. Use proper risk management. Past performance ≠ future results.
Suvorov Pro SFP+Indicator: Logic-based Swing Failure Pattern (SFP)
What is the logic of my indicator based on and what makes it unique:
1. The indicator can calculate extreme candles that close with huge shadows and a small body and it works on any timeframe.
2. The indicator analyzes the volumes on which the desired bar was closed. This function is customizable. That is, you can build a search for signals according to your trading strategy, based on the number of volumes. What does this mean - you select the number of previous bars where the indicator calculates the average value and based on these numbers, you can set up: how many times the desired candle should be larger than the previous average volume.
3. Since SFP is based on the removal of important liquidity, the search for such situations occurs from swing structures (swing high/low). When these parameters are found on the chart (on history), the indicator draws the situation and shows where important liquidity was removed and why the trading situation appeared right now.
4. The indicator gives recommendations on possible takes and stops.
The structure of takes has a built-in logic for searching for previous swings to remove liquidity, as well as searching for imbalances to cover them (50 and 100%).
5. For TP (Take Profit): there are 3 TPthat can be adjusted to your trading strategy (Risk/Profit). For example: you always trade from 2 to 1 on the 1st Take, 3 to 1 on the second, 5 to 1 on the third: you can set all this in the indicator and all your targets will be detected by the indicator, taking into account the logic of searching for important ranges. If, for example, in your 3 to 1 range there are no important zones for TP, then the indicator writes that NaN (not found).
6. The indicator works on any timeframe.
7. The indicator has a built-in RSI logic, which comes as an additional function to the indicator. If this function is enabled, then trading situations are detected only when there is a divergence (from the swing point to the extreme bar that has formed).
CVD Candlestick - Milana TradesThe CVD Candlestick indicator visualizes Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) in the form of candlesticks, providing a deeper insight into intrabar buying and selling pressure.
Instead of plotting CVD as a simple line, this indicator displays it as a candle chart, allowing traders to analyze the momentum of volume delta just like price action.
How it Works
Delta is calculated as the difference between the bar’s close and open: delta = close - open.
Divergence + ICT-Based Confirmation
This indicator can be used effectively to detect CVD-price divergences, which may signal early signs of weakness in the current trend. When integrated with ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts, it becomes a powerful tool for precision-based trading setups.
CVD Divergence Logic:
A bearish divergence occurs when price makes a higher high while CVD makes a lower high — suggesting weakening buyer aggression.
A bullish divergence occurs when price makes a lower low while CVD makes a higher low — signaling potential seller exhaustion.
ICT Confirmation Methods:
After identifying divergence on CVD, traders may look for confirmation using ICT techniques, such as:
1) Liquidity sweeps (e.g. price takes out a prior high/low into a divergence zone)
2) Breaker blocks or order blocks aligning with the divergence area
3) Market structure shifts following divergence
4) Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) levels confluencing with CVD-based signals
Example Setup:
Identify divergence between price and CVD.
Wait for liquidity sweep or market structure break in the same zone.
Confirm entry with lower time frame precision, if needed.
Data Candle
CVD is computed as the cumulative sum of delta over time.
For each bar, a synthetic candlestick is generated based on:
CVD Open = previous CVD value
CVD Close = current CVD value
High/Low = relative range based on Open/Close
Candlestick color indicates whether buyers (green) or sellers (red) dominated the bar.
Note : This implementation uses price-based delta for simplicity and works universally across assets. For bid/ask-based delta, a feed with order book data is required, which is not accessible in Pine Script.
Use Cases
Identify divergences between price and volume delta
Confirm or question breakouts and trend strength
Use in combination with VWAP, volume profile, or liquidity zones
Analyze intrabar sentiment in a candlestick format
Features
CVD represented as full candlesticks
Clear color distinction for delta direction
Works on all symbols and timeframes
Lightweight and responsive
Big Whale Finder PROBig Whale Finder PRO
The Big Whale Finder PRO is an advanced technical indicator designed to detect and analyze the footprints of institutional traders (commonly referred to as "whales") in financial markets. Based on multiple proprietary detection algorithms, this indicator identifies distinct patterns of accumulation and distribution that typically occur when large market participants execute significant orders.
Theoretical Framework
The indicator builds upon established market microstructure theories and empirical research on institutional trading behavior. As Kyle (1985) demonstrated in his seminal work on market microstructure, informed traders with large positions tend to execute their orders strategically to minimize market impact. This often results in specific volume and price action patterns that the Big Whale Finder PRO is designed to detect.
Key Feature Enhancements
1. Volume Analysis Refinement
The indicator implements a dual-threshold approach to volume analysis based on research by Easley et al. (2012) on volume-based informed trading metrics. The normal threshold identifies routine institutional activity, while the extreme threshold flags exceptional events that often precede significant market moves.
2. Wickbody Ratio Analysis
Drawing from Cao et al. (2021) research on price formation and order flow imbalance, the indicator incorporates wick-to-body ratio analysis to detect potential order absorption and iceberg orders. High wick-to-body ratios often indicate hidden liquidity and resistance/support levels maintained by large players.
3. BWF-Index (Proprietary Metric)
The BWF-Index is a novel quantitative measure that combines volume anomalies, price stagnation, and candle morphology into a single metric. This approach draws from Harris's (2003) work on trading and exchanges, which suggests that institutional activity often manifests through multiple simultaneous market microstructure anomalies.
4. Zone Tracking System
Based on Wyckoff Accumulation/Distribution methodology and modern zone detection algorithms, the indicator establishes and tracks zones where institutional activity has occurred. This feature enables traders to identify potential support/resistance areas where large players have previously shown interest.
5. Trend Integration
Following Lo and MacKinlay's (1988) work on market efficiency and technical analysis, the indicator incorporates trend analysis through dual EMA comparison, providing context for volume and price patterns.
Labels and Signals Explanation
The indicator uses a system of labels to mark significant events on the chart:
🐋 (Whale Symbol): Indicates extreme volume activity that significantly exceeds normal market participation. This is often a sign of major institutional involvement and frequently precedes significant price moves. The presence of this label suggests heightened attention is warranted as a potential trend reversal or acceleration may be imminent.
A (Accumulation): Marks periods where large players are likely accumulating positions. This is characterized by high volume, minimal price movement upward, and stronger support at the lower end of the candle (larger lower wicks). Accumulation zones often form bases for future upward price movements. This pattern frequently occurs at the end of downtrends or during consolidation phases before uptrends.
D (Distribution): Identifies periods where large players are likely distributing (selling) their positions. This pattern shows high volume, minimal downward price movement, and stronger resistance at the upper end of the candle (larger upper wicks). Distribution zones often form tops before downward price movements. This pattern typically appears at the end of uptrends or during consolidation phases before downtrends.
ICE (Iceberg Order): Flags the potential presence of iceberg orders, where large orders are split into smaller visible portions to hide the true size. These are characterized by unusual wick-to-body ratios with high volume. Iceberg orders often indicate price levels that large institutions consider significant and may act as strong support or resistance areas.
Information Panel Interpretation
The information panel provides real-time analysis of market conditions:
Volume/Average Ratio: Shows how current volume compares to the historical average. Values above the threshold (default 1.5x) indicate abnormal activity that may signal institutional involvement.
BWF-Index: A proprietary metric that quantifies potential whale activity. Higher values (especially >10) indicate stronger likelihood of institutional participation. The BWF-Index combines volume anomalies, price action characteristics, and candle morphology to provide a single measure of potential whale activity.
Status: Displays the current market classification based on detected patterns:
"Major Whale Activity": Extreme volume detected, suggesting significant institutional involvement
"Accumulation": Potential buying activity by large players
"Distribution": Potential selling activity by large players
"High Volume": Above-average volume without clear accumulation/distribution patterns
"Normal": Regular market activity with no significant institutional footprints
Trend: Shows the current market trend based on EMA comparison:
"Uptrend": Fast EMA above Slow EMA, suggesting bullish momentum
"Downtrend": Fast EMA below Slow EMA, suggesting bearish momentum
"Sideways": EMAs very close together, suggesting consolidation
Zone: Indicates if the current price is in a previously identified institutional activity zone:
"In Buy Zone": Price is in an area where accumulation was previously detected
"In Sell Zone": Price is in an area where distribution was previously detected
"Neutral": Price is not in a previously identified institutional zone
Trading Recommendations
Based on the different signals and patterns, the following trading recommendations apply:
Bullish Scenarios
Accumulation (A) + Uptrend: Strong buy signal. Large players are accumulating in an established uptrend, suggesting potential continuation or acceleration.
Strategy: Consider entering long positions with stops below the accumulation zone.
Extreme Volume (🐋) + In Buy Zone + Price Above EMAs: Very bullish. Major whale activity in a previously established buying zone with positive price action.
Strategy: Aggressive buying opportunity with wider stops to accommodate volatility.
High BWF-Index (>10) + Accumulation + Downtrend Ending: Potential trend reversal signal. High institutional interest at the potential end of a downtrend.
Strategy: Early position building with tight risk management until trend confirmation.
Bearish Scenarios
Distribution (D) + Downtrend: Strong sell signal. Large players are distributing in an established downtrend, suggesting potential continuation or acceleration.
Strategy: Consider entering short positions with stops above the distribution zone.
Extreme Volume (🐋) + In Sell Zone + Price Below EMAs: Very bearish. Major whale activity in a previously established selling zone with negative price action.
Strategy: Aggressive shorting opportunity with wider stops to accommodate volatility.
High BWF-Index (>10) + Distribution + Uptrend Ending: Potential trend reversal signal. High institutional interest at the potential end of an uptrend.
Strategy: Early short position building with tight risk management until trend confirmation.
Neutral/Caution Scenarios
Iceberg Orders (ICE) + Sideways Market: Suggests significant hidden liquidity at current levels.
Strategy: Mark these levels as potential support/resistance for future reference. Consider range-trading strategies.
Conflicting Signals (e.g., Accumulation in Downtrend): Requires careful analysis.
Strategy: Wait for additional confirmation or reduce position sizing.
Multiple Extreme Volume Events (🐋) in Succession: Indicates unusual market conditions, possibly related to news events or major market shifts.
Strategy: Exercise extreme caution and potentially reduce exposure until clarity emerges.
Practical Applications
Short-Term Trading:
Use the indicator to identify institutional activity zones for potential intraday support/resistance levels
Watch for whale symbols (🐋) to anticipate potential volatility or trend changes
Combine with price action analysis for entry/exit timing
Swing Trading
Focus on accumulation/distribution patterns in conjunction with the prevailing trend
Use buy/sell zones as areas to establish or exit positions
Monitor the BWF-Index for increasing institutional interest over time
Position Trading
Track long-term whale activity to identify shifts in institutional positioning
Use multiple timeframe analysis to confirm major accumulation/distribution phases
Combine with fundamental analysis to validate potential long-term trend changes

[Pandora's Chambers] Apex-Flux NavigatorThe " Apex Flux Navigator FC" indicator, whose name alludes to the unveiling of hidden market forces, offers a rich visual representation of market pressure by combining volume-based pivot analysis with RSI, including a dynamic Fibonacci grid, balanced pressure lines, and highlighted boxes for quick readability. The term "Chambers" in its name refers to the way the indicator frames the balance of power between buyers and sellers within the space defined by two consecutive pivot lines, essentially creating visual chambers that encapsulate this ongoing struggle. The grid is built according to the 25%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 75% levels, marking key support and resistance points. Crucially, this indicator allows you to spot pinpoint momentum divergences against volume, offering insights into potential trend reversals or continuations. The indicator also calculates cumulative buy/sell percentages since the formation of each pivot, displays an average Buy/Sell ratio for each point, uses a smart algorithm that analyzes the length of movement against speed, and draws backgrounds that outline liquidity zones based on Fibonacci ratios of volume and overbought/oversold areas (boxes) to clearly and legibly highlight buyer/seller pressure zones. Furthermore, the rapid identification of pressure zones and momentum shifts can assist in recognizing opportunities for quick scalping trades. Additionally, the width and spacing of the pressure lines visually represent the current market volatility and the difference in liquidity between buyers and sellers.
General Description
The indicator enables automatic identification of pivot points (highs and lows) based on buy/sell activity and TradingView RSI.
It draws vertical lines connecting the full pivot high to the full pivot low, creating a standard Fibonacci grid, and adds balanced pressure lines on the price sides with F--/F+/(F++) annotations corresponding to the degree of TradingView pressure.
How it Works
Pivot Identification – Uses ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow with the Pivot Sensitivity parameter to determine highs and lows.
Volume and RSI Collection – The f_addPivot function stores buy/sell volume according to the day's fluctuations and initial RSI; in each bar, the cumulative volume and RSI are updated to calculate a dynamic average.
Creation of Lines and Pressure Points – Calculates pressure percentages based on volume and displays them through dotted/solid lines and labels, including dynamic colors and backgrounds (boxes) for visual illustration using the TradingView “Pressure Lines” technique.
How to Interpret the Output
Dotted lines indicate Liquidity zones where the dominant side's volume is particularly strong and may mark areas that the price is drawn to in order to achieve equilibrium.
Labels with text (“B: xx% | RSI yy%”) display the buy/sell percentage and the average RSI since the pivot's creation together.
F--/F+/F++ annotations reflect a pressure quality scale using the f_getAnnotation function based on pressure percentages.
How to Use
Select “Add to chart” to attach the indicator to the chart.
Through the indicator's settings, you can change Pivot Sensitivity, Fibonacci Grid Length, RSI Period, and more.
Inputs and Settings
Pivot Sensitivity (default: 3)
Extend Pressure Lines (default: off)
RSI Period (default: 14)
Fibonacci Grid Length, Color, Offset
Colors and line styles for the reporting mode
Tips and Recommendations
Use a timeframe that reflects appropriate volatility (e.g., H4/D) to reduce noise; the shorter the timeframe, the more fluid the information the indicator presents.
To improve identification accuracy, combine with moving averages or additional Fibonacci tools.
Avoid automated trading based on the indicator alone – always require confirmation from an additional indicator.
Trade Smart – Let the Apex Flux Navigator FC guide you to significant market pressure levels!
Change in State of Delivery (CISD) [SB Instant]🧠 Modified by SB | Core Logic by LuxAlgo
🔗 Licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
Change in State of Delivery (CISD) is a concept rooted in observing shifts in order flow behavior, designed to detect the first signs of trend exhaustion and potential reversal. This model tracks when the current delivery (trend) structure — bullish or bearish — is violated by an opposing force, signaling a potential change in market intent.
In simple terms:
A Bullish CISD is triggered when sellers fail to maintain control, and buyers break above a delivery line.
A Bearish CISD is triggered when buyers fail, and sellers break below a delivery line.
This version uses real-time logic, triggering alerts immediately on break, rather than waiting for candle-close confirmation — giving faster, actionable signals to precision-driven traders.
⚙️ Core Features
Detection Modes
Classic: Traditional swing-based structural break detection
Liquidity Sweep: Logic incorporating wick sweeps (liquidity grabs)
Custom Parameters
Swing Length: Number of candles used to identify swing points
Minimum CISD Duration: Minimum length required for valid delivery phase
Maximum Swing Validity: How long the structure remains valid for potential breaks
Visual Options
Label and line styling options
Solid line = Initial break of delivery structure
Dashed line = Continuation break in the same trend direction
This allows you to visually differentiate a new reversal vs. a continuation of the existing trend.
🚨 Built-in Alerts
Bullish CISD Detected (Instant)
Bearish CISD Detected (Instant)
These alerts fire immediately when structure is broken, offering early confirmation for aggressive or reactive trade setups.
🔔 IMPORTANT:
If an alert triggers but the delivery line is not present, wait for the price to form the CISD label again and manually mark the price level using a horizontal ray. This ensures you are trading from a clearly defined structure.
🕒 Recommended Timeframes
✅ Use 30-Minute or 4-Hour charts to identify high-confidence CISD zones
🎯 Then drop to the 1-Minute or 5-Minute chart for precise entry execution
This top-down approach aligns higher timeframe narrative with lower timeframe entry triggers, increasing your edge in both timing and context.
🧠 How to Use CISD Effectively
Bullish Scenario:
Watch for breaks above bearish delivery structures, especially if confirmed with:
Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
The Strat 2-2 reversal
MSS (Market Structure Shift)
Bearish Scenario:
Look for breaks below bullish delivery setups in alignment with:
BOS (Break of Structure)
The Strat 3-1-2
Bearish liquidity sweeps
Key Tip:
Solid line = Initial CISD (new shift)
Dashed line = Continuation of current trend

Rejection Blocks [Taking Prophets]🧠 Indicator Purpose:
The "Rejection Blocks" indicator is built for traders using Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts. It identifies key reversal zones where price action shows strong rejection through wick-dominant behavior around major swing points — often signaling institutional activity. Traders can use these rejection blocks to anticipate future support, resistance, and mitigation zones based on ICT principles.
🌟 What Makes This Indicator Unique:
Unlike standard support/resistance indicators, this script detects true rejection points by filtering only candles where the wick is significantly larger than the body, confirming potential order flow shifts according to ICT methodology.
It not only marks these zones but also:
Dynamically extends the blocks into the future.
Deletes blocks that get invalidated (mitigation logic).
Optionally plots a 50% midline within each block to refine entry or exit precision.
⚙️ How the Indicator Works:
Swing Detection: Identifies significant highs and lows based on pivot structures.
Rejection Filtering: Confirms strong rejections with wick-to-body ratio validation.
Block Creation: Highlights bullish or bearish rejection zones with customizable visuals.
Midline Plotting: (Optional) Marks the 50% midpoint of the block for entry targeting.
Mitigation and Cleanup: Blocks are deleted automatically when their structure is invalidated, maintaining a clean and accurate chart view.
🎯 How to Use It:
Identify Reaction Zones: Use rejection blocks as potential areas for price reversals or consolidations.
Plan Trade Entries: Monitor retests of the block boundaries or 50% lines for precision entries.
Manage Risk: If price closes beyond the block, treat it as a potential invalidation or Change in State of Delivery (CISD) event.
Best Contexts:
Near higher timeframe Points of Interest (POIs) such as Order Blocks or Fair Value Gaps.
During ICT Killzones (London Open, New York AM).
🔎 Underlying Concepts:
Wick Rejections: Indicate strong liquidity rejection, aligning with ICT liquidity sweep theories.
Mitigation Behavior: Blocks often serve as revisit zones where price rebalances after an aggressive move.
Adaptive Market Behavior: Rejection Blocks adjust dynamically based on real-time price action according to ICT market structure logic.
🎨 Customization Options:
Bullish and Bearish block colors with adjustable opacity.
Border visibility, border width, and 50% midline display toggles.
Label size customization for optimal chart clarity.
✅ Recommended for:
Traders following Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts.
Scalpers, intraday, and swing traders seeking accurate reversal and mitigation zones.
Traders looking to improve precision around liquidity rejection events.
TraderFa Automatic FVGhe Fair Value Gap (FVG) indicator is a powerful technical analysis tool that identifies market inefficiencies by highlighting Fair Value Gaps across multiple timeframes. Discover key trading zones where institutions might be active—don’t miss your edge!
Introduction to the FVG Indicator
The Fair Value Gap indicator is designed to automatically detect areas of price imbalance—commonly referred to as Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)—directly on your chart. These zones occur when price moves aggressively in one direction, leaving behind a gap that represents a lack of order matching, and often becomes a magnet for future price action.
The concept is widely used by professional traders and is deeply rooted in liquidity-based analysis and institutional trading logic.
Key Features
Multi-timeframe FVG detection (up to 4 timeframes simultaneously):
Gain a layered perspective by monitoring price gaps on different timeframes all at once.
Automatic detection of bullish and bearish FVGs:
Highlighted zones where price surged or dropped too quickly—potential reaction areas.
Option to display or hide mitigated gaps:
You can choose to keep showing gaps that have already been filled or remove them from view.
Custom color settings for each timeframe:
Assign different colors for bullish and bearish gaps in each timeframe for better visual clarity.
How the Indicator Works
Utilizing the capabilities of Pine Script, the indicator fetches data such as high, low, open, and time from higher timeframes and compares it with current candles to detect valid FVGs.
The detection logic is based on:
A bullish FVG forms when the low of the current candle is higher than the high of two candles ago.
A bearish FVG forms when the high of the current candle is lower than the low of two candles ago.
These gaps are then visualized using boxes and labels, and updated or removed depending on whether the price has returned to fill the gap.
Use Cases in Trading
Reveal hidden liquidity zones:
Institutional traders often place orders around FVGs. Identifying these can help pinpoint high-probability entries.
Set precise entry, exit, or target zones:
Use gaps to identify potential reversal or continuation zones with minimal risk exposure.
Optimize multi-timeframe confluence:
Seeing FVGs from various timeframes simultaneously allows you to discover overlapping zones—excellent for timing trades with confidence.
Customizable Settings :
Enable/disable each of the four timeframes independently
Select your desired timeframe for each layer
Pick unique colors for bullish and bearish gaps
Show or hide mitigated (filled) gaps based on strategy
F inal Thoughts
The FVG indicator is a refined, high-precision tool built for traders who use price action and liquidity principles. Whether you're scalping or trading swing setups, this indicator offers an edge by visually representing inefficiencies in price—helping you anticipate where price is likely to react.
Ready to see the market through the lens of institutional behavior? Add the FVG indicator to your chart today and start spotting the gaps that really matter.
DTT Yearly Volatility Grid [Pro+] (NINE/ANARR)Introduction :
This tool is designed to automate the Digital Time Theory (DTT) framework created by Ivan and Anarr and applies the DTT Yearly Volatility Grid to uncover swing trading opportunities by analyzing Time-based statistical market behavior across the 4H to Daily chart.
Description:
Built upon the proprietary Digital Time Theory (DTT) , this advanced version is tailored for traders seeking multi-day to multi-week moves . It equips swing traders with an edge by analyzing macro Time intervals and volatility behavior across higher Timeframes. Applicable to all major asset classes, including stocks, crypto, forex, and futures , this script breaks down the entire yearly range into Higher-Time Frame Time Models and statistical zones .
This version uses daily intervals to track broader volatility waves, highlight the DTT framework, and pinpoint premium/discount areas across swing cycles. Powered by Time-driven data insights, this tool assists traders in anticipating expansions, understanding long-range Time distortions, and positioning around statistically significant zones in the higher-Time frame narrative.
Key Features:
Time-Based Models and Macro Volatility Awareness:
Automatically populates the chart with DTT Yearly Time Models (4H, Daily), engineered to spotlight macro volatility events across broader market sessions. Helps swing traders identify potential inflection points, reversals, or trend continuation zones.
Average Model Range Probability (AMRP):
Measure the average volatility expected over higher Time-based models. Use AMRP Levels and Projections to assess the range potential of each Yearly Model Time window—vital for monitoring reversals, breakouts, or continuation plays across several sessions or weeks.
Digital Root Candles and HTF Liquidity Draws:
For DTT Yearly Models, the Digital Root Candles are calculated as a specific Daily candle, and can be viewed on the Daily or 4H Timeframe. Analysts can frame premium and discount zones, based on where price is trading in relation to the current or previous model's Digital Roots. These areas also act as anchors for institutional price movement, often serving as bases for accumulation/distribution periods or large impulse moves.
Extended Visualization:
Track and project prior model ranges (high, low, equilibrium) into the current swing window. This helps visualize macro support/resistance , range expansion, failure zones, and price gravitation levels for longer-term trade planning.
Lookback Periods and Model Count
Utilize adjustable lookback periods to control the number of past DTT Yearly Models displayed—ideal for swing traders and quarterly outlooks. Whether you’re reviewing one yearly model to focus on the present range or several months’ worth of data for backtesting and confluence, this feature keeps charts clean, structured, and aligned with your preferred historical perspective.
By tailoring how many previous Time-based models appear on the chart, traders can better visualize and backtest repeated behaviors, major volatility clusters, and how key levels evolve over Time.
Detailed Data Table:
View statistical AMRP data for multiple DTT Yearly Models in real-Time. The data table helps confirm whether current price movement exceeds, respects, or fails to reach historical volatility ranges—key for analyzing market compression or expansion phases.
Customization Options:
Toggle inner Time interval, calculate AMRP utilizing a custom model lookback, and display styles (solid/dotted lines), including color coordination per drawing. Easily customize your charts and settings to fit your swing trading system or macro analysis.
How Swing Traders Can Use DTT Yearly Volatility Grid Effectively
Identify Swing Premium and Discount Zones:
Use Root Candles and Yearly Time Model AMRP Zones to evaluate where price is positioned in the current Time Model. Using this tool, traders can plan trades with a longer term horizon for a minimum of 1 to 2-weeks or manage entries/exits around market structure shifts and liquidity pools
Expect Macro Volatility Shifts:
Use the HTF models to forecast when and which volatility models are historically known to create larger market impulses . These tools help spot periods of potential exhaustion or breakout, especially near key economic releases, quarterly closes , or macro liquidity zones .
Avoid Low Volatility Consolidations:
AMRP helps you detect when the market is compressing or coiling within a DTT Yearly Model. If price is trading between Digital Root Candles or the AMRP zones, analysts are likely to notice periods of consolidation, and the inability to reach their historical volatility averages.
Usage Guidance:
Add DTT Yearly Volatility Grid (NINE/ANARR) to your TradingView chart.
Make sure to be on the 4H, or Daily Timeframes depending on your asset class and analysis.
Use the DTT Model elements and the Data Table to track expansion zones, premium/discount extremes, and model range behavior.

SMT Divergence ICT 02 [TradingFinder] Smart Money Technique SMC🔵 Introduction
SMT Divergence (Smart Money Technique Divergence) is a price action-based trading concept that detects discrepancies in market behavior between two assets that are generally expected to move in the same direction. Rooted in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology, this approach helps traders recognize subtle signs of market manipulation or imbalance, often ahead of traditional indicators.
The core idea behind SMT divergence is simple: when two correlated instruments—such as currency pairs, indices, or assets from the same sector—start forming different swing points (highs or lows), this can reveal a lack of confirmation in the trend. Such divergence is often a precursor to a price reversal or pause in momentum.
This technique works effectively across various markets including Forex, stocks, and cryptocurrencies. It’s particularly valuable when used alongside concepts like liquidity sweeps, market structure breaks (MSBs), or order block identification.
In advanced use cases, Sequential SMT helps uncover patterns of alternating divergences across sessions, often signaling engineered liquidity traps before price reacts.
When combined with the Quarterly Theory—which segments market behavior into Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal phases—traders gain insight not only into where divergence happens, but when it's most likely to be significant within the market cycle.
Bullish SMT :
Bullish SMT Divergence occurs when one asset prints a higher low while the correlated asset forms a lower low. This asymmetry often suggests that the downside move is losing strength, hinting at a potential bullish shift.
Bearish SMT :
Bearish SMT Divergence is formed when one asset creates a higher high, while the second asset fails to confirm by printing a lower high. This typically signals weakening bullish pressure and the possibility of a reversal to the downside.
🔵 How to Use
The SMT Divergence indicator is designed to detect imbalances between two positively correlated assets—such as major currency pairs, indices, or commodities. These divergences often indicate early signs of market inefficiency or smart money manipulation and can help traders anticipate trend shifts with higher precision.
Unlike traditional divergence indicators or earlier versions of this script, this upgraded version does not rely solely on consecutive pivot comparisons. Instead, it dynamically scans all available pivots within the chart to identify divergences at any structural level—major or minor—across the price action. This broader detection method increases the reliability and frequency of meaningful SMT signals.
Moreover, when integrated with Sequential SMT logic, the indicator is capable of identifying multiple divergence sequences across sessions. These sequences often signal engineered liquidity traps and can be mapped within the Quarterly Theory framework, allowing traders to pinpoint not just the presence of divergence but also the phase of the market cycle it appears in (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, or Continuation).
🟣 Bullish SMT Divergence
This signal occurs when the primary asset forms a higher low, while the correlated asset forms a lower low. This pattern implies weakening bearish momentum and a potential shift to the upside.
If the correlated asset breaks its previous low but the primary asset does not, this divergence suggests absorption of selling pressure and possible accumulation by smart money—making it a strong bullish signal, especially when aligned with a favorable market phase (e.g., the end of a manipulation phase in Q2).
🟣 Bearish SMT Divergence
This signal occurs when the primary asset creates a higher high, while the correlated asset forms a lower high. This mismatch indicates fading bullish momentum and a potential reversal to the downside.
If the correlated asset fails to confirm a breakout made by the main asset, the divergence may point to distribution or exhaustion. When seen within Q3 or Q4 phases of the Quarterly Theory, this pattern often precedes sharp declines or fake-outs engineered by smart money

[TehThomas] - ICT Inversion Fair value Gap (IFVG) The Inversion Fair Value Gap (IFVG) indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders who utilize ICT (Inner Circle Trader) strategies. It focuses on identifying and displaying Inversion Fair Value Gaps, which are critical zones that emerge when traditional Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are invalidated by price action. These gaps represent key areas where price often reacts, making them essential for identifying potential reversals, trend continuations, and liquidity zones.
What Are Inversion Fair Value Gaps?
Inversion Fair Value Gaps occur when price revisits a traditional FVG and breaks through it, effectively flipping its role in the market. For example:
A bullish FVG that is invalidated becomes a bearish zone, often acting as resistance.
A bearish FVG that is invalidated transforms into a bullish zone, serving as support.
These gaps are significant because they often align with institutional trading activity. They highlight areas where large orders have been executed or where liquidity has been targeted. Understanding these gaps provides traders with a deeper insight into market structure and helps them anticipate future price movements with greater accuracy.
Why This Strategy Works
The IFVG concept is rooted in ICT principles, which emphasize liquidity dynamics, market inefficiencies, and institutional order flow. Traditional FVGs represent imbalances in price action caused by gaps between candles. When these gaps are invalidated, they become inversion zones that can act as magnets for price. These zones frequently serve as high-probability areas for price reversals or trend continuations.
This strategy works because it aligns with how institutional traders operate. Inversion gaps often mark areas of interest for "smart money," making them reliable indicators of potential market turning points. By focusing on these zones, traders can align their strategies with institutional behavior and improve their overall trading edge.
How the Indicator Works
This indicator simplifies the process of identifying and tracking IFVGs by automating their detection and visualization on the chart. It scans the chart in real-time to identify bullish and bearish FVGs that meet user-defined thresholds for inversion. Once identified, these gaps are dynamically displayed on the chart with distinct colors for bullish and bearish zones.
The indicator also tracks whether these gaps are mitigated or broken by price action. When an IFVG is broken, it extends the zone for a user-defined number of bars to visualize its potential role as a new support or resistance level. Additionally, alerts can be enabled to notify traders when new IFVGs form or when existing ones are broken, ensuring timely decision-making in fast-moving markets.
Key Features
Automatic Detection: The indicator automatically identifies bullish and bearish IFVGs based on user-defined thresholds.
Dynamic Visualization: It displays IFVGs directly on the chart with customizable colors for easy differentiation.
Real-Time Updates: The status of each IFVG is updated dynamically based on price action.
Zone Extensions: Broken IFVGs are extended to visualize their potential as support or resistance levels.
Alerts: Notifications can be set up to alert traders when key events occur, such as the formation or breaking of an IFVG.
These features make the tool highly efficient and reduce the need for manual analysis, allowing traders to focus on execution rather than tedious chart work.
Benefits of Using This Indicator
The IFVG indicator offers several advantages that make it an indispensable tool for ICT traders. By automating the detection of inversion gaps, it saves time and reduces errors in analysis. The clearly defined zones improve risk management by providing precise entry points, stop-loss levels, and profit targets based on market structure.
This tool is also highly versatile and adapts seamlessly across different timeframes. Whether you’re scalping lower timeframes or swing trading higher ones, it provides actionable insights tailored to your trading style. Furthermore, by aligning your strategy with institutional logic, you gain a significant edge in anticipating market movements.
Practical Applications
This indicator can be used across various trading styles:
Scalping: Identify quick reversal points on lower timeframes using real-time alerts.
Day Trading: Use inversion gaps as key levels for intraday support/resistance or trend continuation setups.
Swing Trading: Analyse higher timeframes to identify major inversion zones that could act as critical turning points in larger trends.
By integrating this tool into your trading routine, you can streamline your analysis process and focus on executing high-probability setups.
Conclusion
The Inversion Fair Value Gap (IFVG) indicator is more than just a technical analysis tool—it’s a strategic ally for traders looking to refine their edge in the markets. By automating the detection and tracking of inversion gaps based on ICT principles, it simplifies complex market analysis while maintaining accuracy and depth. Whether you’re new to ICT strategies or an experienced trader seeking greater precision, this indicator will elevate your trading game by aligning your approach with institutional behavior.
If you’re serious about improving your trading results while saving time and effort, this tool is an essential addition to your toolkit. It provides clarity in chaotic markets, enhances precision in trade execution, and ensures you never miss critical opportunities in your trading journey.

IQ Liquidation Heatmap [TradingIQ]Introducing "IQ Liquidation Heatmap".
IQ Liquidation Heatmap is a proprietary indicator designed to identify and display price zones where large numbers of crypto position liquidations are likely to occur. It presents both current liquidation zones—areas where a cascade of liquidations would be triggered if the price is reached—and historical liquidation zones, where such events have taken place before.
Why Liquidations and Liquidation Cascades Are Important
Liquidation cascades are important because they can lead to rapid and significant price moves in the market. When many traders have set stop-loss orders or are highly leveraged at similar price levels, a move that hits these zones can force a large number of positions to close at once. This mass closing of positions not only accelerates the price movement but can also trigger further liquidations in a self-reinforcing loop.
Understanding where these cascades occur helps traders recognize potential support and resistance levels. It also provides insights into where market participants are most vulnerable, allowing for better risk management and more informed trading decisions. In short, liquidation cascades highlight key areas of market stress that can lead to increased volatility and opportunities for those prepared to act.
In short, if a lot of short positions are liquidated simultaneously, an upside liquidation cascade can occur. During an upside liquidation cascade, price will increase intensely to the upside with high volatility.
If a lot of long positions are liquidated simultaneously, a downside liquidation cascade can occur. During a downside liquidation cascade, price will decrease intensely to the downside with high volatility.
Knowing where these liquidation cascades can occur is invaluable information for crypto traders.
What IQ Liquidation Heatmap Does
IQ Liquidation Heatmap visually maps price levels that have seen or may see liquidation cascades. In plain terms, it shows you where many stop-losses or leveraged positions have been triggered in the past and where similar events can occur in the future. By highlighting these zones, the indicator helps you understand areas of market stress that could lead to rapid price movements.
The image above shows a historical liquidation cascade occurring. Clustered bubbles show large amounts of liquidations occurring - the more bubbles and the brighter they are, the stronger the liquidation cascade. During a liquidation cascade, there is a higher chance that a strong downtrend or uptrend will continue.
Current Liquidation Levels
The image above explains current liquidation levels.
Current liquidations levels are price areas where a large number of positions will be liquidated. If a liquidation level is above the current price, then it is considered a price zone where shorts will be liquidated. If a liquidation level is below the current price, then it is considered a price zone where longs will be liquidated.
In this image, bright green levels represent price areas where the highest amount of positions will be liquidated, while dark purple levels represent price areas where the lowest amount of positions will be liquidated.
An active (current) liquidation level will extend to the right beyond the current price because they have not yet been hit.
When strong liquidation levels (green - bright green) are hit and are above price, it is expected that an upside liquidation cascade will occur. When strong liquidations are hit and are below price, it is expected that a downside liquidation cascade will occur.
Historical Liquidation Levels
The image above explains historical liquidation levels.
Historical liquidation levels stop at the bar where they are hit, so you can see how price responded to hitting a key liquidation level.
In this image, bright green levels represent price areas where the highest amount of positions will be liquidated, while dark purple levels represent price areas where the lowest amount of positions will be liquidated.
If price moves up into a liquidation level, then shorts are being liquidated. If price moves down into a liquidation level, then longs are being liquidated. In the image, we can see that when bright green liquidation levels were hit - a liquidation cascade occurred. During this cascade, price continued to move strongly to the downside with high volatility.
During the uptrend after the downtrend, we can see some bright green liquidation levels were also hit - causing an upside liquidation cascade that resulted in strong, volatile upside price moves.
Gradient Bar
The image above explains the liquidations gradient bar.
The bar located on the right of your chart shows what colors correspond to low, medium, and high liquidation levels.
In this image, bright green means the liquidation level is strong, while dark purple means the liquidation level is weak. By extension, we would expect liquidation cascades or strong price moves to more likely occur when a cluster of bright green liquidation zones are hit. Additionally, we would expect a small reaction (or no reaction at all) when dark purple liquidation zones are hit.
Colors are customizable.
Liquidation Cluster Bar
The image above explains the liquidation cluster bar.
The liquidation cluster bar aggregates liquidation zones and shows the approximate price areas where the highest number of liquidation points are located.
In this image, the green portion of the bar represents where the largest number of traders will be liquidated in aggregate. While the purple portions of the bar shows where the smallest number of traders will be liquidated in aggregate.
This bar is useful for clustering liquidations zones across larger price areas to see where the highest number of traders are likely to be liquidated.
Concept Behind IQ Liquidation Heatmap
The basic idea is simple: in crypto markets, when price reaches certain levels, many traders’ positions can be liquidated at once, causing sharp moves in price. These zones are not random. They are built on historical price data and statistical analysis of past liquidation events. IQ Liquidation Heatmap captures this information and presents it in an easy-to-read format.
Key points include:
Current Liquidation Zones: These are the areas where, if the price moves into them, a high number of liquidations could occur.
Historical Liquidation Zones: These show where liquidation cascades have happened in the past, offering context on how the market has behaved under stress.

The indicator combines current market conditions with historical liquidation events. It updates dynamically to reflect real-time data while also showing past liquidation zones.
Visual Heatmap:
The display uses color gradients to represent the intensity of liquidation activity. Brighter or more intense colors indicate zones with a higher likelihood of triggering liquidations, while darker colors represent areas with lower activity.
User-Friendly Interface:
IQ Liquidation Heatmap is designed to be simple and straightforward. The visual output clearly marks the price levels of interest, making it easy for traders to see where liquidations might occur.
Proprietary Calculation:
The data behind the indicator is calculated using proprietary methods that consider historical price action, statistical ranges, and liquidity distribution. This means the indicator adapts to the specific characteristics of different crypto assets and timeframes.
Dynamic Updates:
The indicator recalculates its output in real time as new price data comes in. This ensures that the displayed liquidation zones are always current and reflect the latest market conditions.
How IQ Liquidation Heatmap Works
Data Collection:
IQ Liquidation Heatmap gathers historical price data as well as data on liquidation events. This data is used to identify key price ranges and levels where liquidations have previously occurred.
Statistical Analysis:
The indicator applies statistical methods—such as calculating medians and percentiles—to determine the significance of each price range. This analysis helps to rank the importance of various liquidation zones.
Liquidity Clustering:
Areas with a high concentration of liquidations are identified by examining how many positions or stop orders are clustered at specific price levels. These clusters are then represented on the chart using a heatmap style.
Visual Mapping:
The calculated data is overlaid onto the trading chart. Graphical elements like lines, boxes, or filled regions mark the identified liquidation zones. Color gradients help to differentiate between zones with high versus low liquidation risk.
Real-Time Recalculation:
As new price data becomes available, IQ Liquidation Heatmap continuously updates its analysis. This ensures that the indicator remains relevant throughout the trading session and can quickly adjust if market conditions change.
Using IQ Liquidation Heatmap
Traders can use IQ Liquidation Heatmap as an additional tool to support their trading decisions. Here are some practical applications:
Trade Entry And Exit Planning:
The visual cues provided by the indicator can serve as reference points for planning entries and exits. When the price nears a zone known for triggering liquidations, traders can adjust their strategies accordingly.
Risk Management:
By identifying key liquidation zones, traders can better manage risk. Knowing where a liquidation cascade is likely to occur helps in setting more effective stop-loss orders and managing overall exposure.
Market Structure Analysis:
The historical data offered by IQ Liquidation Heatmap gives insight into how the market has reacted in the past during periods of stress. This historical perspective can help in understanding broader market trends and potential future movements.

Cryptoin Awesome Indicator - Market StructureCryptoin Awesome Indicator - Market Structure (CAI-MS) 🌟
The Cryptoin Awesome Indicator - Market Structure (CAI-MS) is an advanced, proprietary overlay tool designed to decode market structure and price action dynamics with precision. Unlike traditional indicators that rely on lagging oscillators or moving averages, CAI-MS focuses on real-time swing point analysis and structural breakouts, offering traders a clear, actionable framework for identifying trend shifts, continuations, and key decision zones in forex, stocks, or crypto markets. 📊
What It Does: 📝
CAI-MS maps the market’s structural evolution by detecting and classifying swing points—Higher Highs (HH), Lower Highs (LH), Higher Lows (HL), and Lower Lows (LL)—based on a customizable lookback period. It then tracks price interactions with these levels to signal two critical events:
✅ Break of Structure (BOS): When price breaches a prior swing high or low, indicating potential trend continuation. 🚀
✅ Change of Character (CHoCH): When price invalidates the most recent swing in the opposite direction, suggesting a possible reversal. 🔄
Additionally, it plots fixed-length liquidity zones (BSL/SSL) derived from unbroken swing levels, helping traders anticipate support/resistance or stop-loss hunting areas. 🛡️
How It Works: ⚙️
The indicator uses a unique swing detection algorithm that analyzes price extremes over a user-defined number of bars (Swing Length). This avoids the noise of smaller fluctuations and focuses on significant pivots. Once a swing point is confirmed:
✅ It labels the pivot (e.g., HH, LH) to reflect the current structure. 🏷️
✅ If price breaks a prior high or low, a BOS line is drawn to mark the breakout, visually connecting the breached level to the breakout candle. 📏
✅ If the breakout reverses the prior trend (e.g., breaking a LH in a downtrend), it flags a CHoCH, alerting traders to a potential shift. ⚠️
✅ Unbroken swing levels extend as BSL/SSL lines for a fixed duration, offering strategic reference points. 🎯
This methodology combines structural analysis with breakout confirmation, distilled into a clean, overlay format that doesn’t clutter charts with redundant data.
Key Features: ✨
✅ Swing Point Detection: Identifies and labels HH, LH, HL, and LL with adjustable sensitivity, ensuring relevance across timeframes. 🔍
✅ BOS & CHoCH Visualization: Plots breakout lines and labels to highlight trend momentum or reversal setups. 📈
✅ Liquidity Zones (BSL/SSL): Extends prior swing levels as potential support/resistance, with customizable length and style. 🧱
✅ Customization: Toggle labels on/off, adjust line colors, styles (solid, dashed, dotted), and thickness to match your workflow. 🎨
✅ Original Approach: Unlike public tools relying on MAs or RSI, CAI-MS uses a proprietary pivot-based system tailored for structure traders. 🦄
Why It’s Valuable: 💎
This isn’t a mashup of classic indicators—it’s a purpose-built solution for market structure enthusiasts. Public scripts often flood charts with generic signals; CAI-MS delivers focused, context-aware insights by synthesizing swing analysis, breakout detection, and liquidity projection into one cohesive tool. Its closed-source design protects a unique algorithm that adapts to price action without overfitting or repackaging common techniques.
How to Use It: 🛠️
✅ Trend Continuation: Enter long after a BOS above a prior HH, or short below a prior LL, using BSL/SSL as take-profit zones. 📈
✅ Reversal Trades: Watch for CHoCH signals (e.g., price breaking a LH in a downtrend) to anticipate shifts, with BSL/SSL as stop-loss guides. 🔄
✅ Scalping/Swing Trading: Adjust Swing Length (e.g., 10 for scalping, 50 for swings) to match your timeframe. ⏱️
Pair it with a clean chart (no other indicators needed) to maximize clarity—add drawings like trendlines if desired, but the indicator stands alone.
Customization Options: 🖌️
✅ Swing Length: Increase (e.g., 50) for fewer, stronger pivots; decrease (e.g., 10) for more frequent signals. ⚖️
✅ Visuals: Enable/disable swing labels, tweak BOS line styles, or adjust BSL/SSL length (default: 50 bars). 🎚️
Vortex Candle MarkerVortex Candle Marker
The Vortex Candle Marker is a specialized TradingView indicator designed to identify and highlight **Vortex Candles**—candles that momentarily form without wicks on either the high or low. This unique price behavior can signal potential price retracements or reversals, aligning with the **Power of Three (PO3)** concept in price action theory.
Indicator Logic:
A candle is classified as a **Vortex Candle** if either of these conditions is met during its formation:
1. **Vortex Top:** The **high** equals either the **open** or **close**, indicating no upper wick.
2. **Vortex Bottom:** The **low** equals either the **open** or **close**, indicating no lower wick.
When a Vortex Candle is detected, the indicator changes the **candle border color** to **aqua**, making it easy to identify these significant price moments.
Market Insight & PO3 Interpretation:
In typical price behavior, most candles exhibit both upper and lower wicks, representing price exploration before settling at a closing value. A candle forming without a wick suggests **strong directional intent** at that moment. However, by the **Power of Three (PO3)** concept—Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution—such wickless formations often imply:
- **Price Reversion Likelihood:** When a candle temporarily forms without a wick, it suggests the market may **revisit the opening price** to establish a wick before the candle closes.
- **Liquidity Manipulation:** The absence of a wick may indicate a **stop-hunt** or liquidity grab, where the price manipulates one side before reversing.
- **Entry Triggers:** Identifying these moments can help traders anticipate potential **retracements** or **continuations** within the PO3 framework.
Practical Application
- **Early Reversal Detection:** Spot potential price reversals by observing wickless candles forming at key levels.
- **Breakout Validation:** Use Vortex Candles to confirm **true breakouts** or **false moves** before the price returns.
- **Liquidity Zones:** Identify areas where the market is likely to revisit to create a wick, signaling entry/exit points.
This indicator is a powerful tool for traders applying **Po3** methodologies and seeking to capture price manipulation patterns.
Multiple AVWAP [OmegaTools]The Multiple AVWAP indicator is a sophisticated trading tool designed for professional traders who require precision in volume-weighted price tracking.
