Decoding the Volume of candlesThe indicator is designed for traders who are more interested in market structures and price action using volumes. Volume analysis can help traders build a clearer understanding of zones of buyer and seller interest, as well as liquidity gathering points (traders' stop levels).
Key Features:
The indicator visualizes on the chart the volumes selected according to the trader's chosen settings.
The indicator highlights candle volumes in selected colors, where the volume is greater individually than the volumes of the trader's chosen number of preceding candles. Or the volume that is greater than the sum of volumes of the trader's chosen number of preceding candles.
The indicator mark selected volumes on the chart based on the type of candle. The candle type (1, 2, or 3) is determined by its result (close) relative to other candles.
Volume marked for a type 3 candle draws the trader’s attention to the lack of results from the applied volume compared to the previous candle, indicating potential weakness of the candle’s owner. This is especially important in buyer or seller context areas.
Volume marked for a type 2 candle highlights the presence of results from the applied volume but only relative to the previous candle. In buyer or seller context areas, this can signal weakness of the candle’s owner.
Volume marked for a type 1 candle signals a strong result from the applied volume, indicating potential strength of the candle’s owner.
The marking of volumes can be displayed either on the main chart or on the volume chart, depending on the trader's preference. Colors and symbols for marking can be customized on the Style tab.
Volumes can be filtered on both the volume chart and the main chart according to their marking. This feature can be useful, for example, for traders who don’t work with signs of buyer or seller weakness. In such cases, they can filter out volumes only for type 1 candles.
Good luck exploring the impact of volumes on price behavior!

Price Action Volumetric Order Blocks [UAlgo]"Price Action Volumetric Order Blocks" indicator aims to identify significant price zones in the market based on a combination of price action and volume analysis. It utilizes the concept of "Order Blocks," which are areas on the chart where large orders are believed to have been placed, influencing price behavior. By analyzing price swings and volume activity, the indicator attempts to highlight potential support and resistance levels.
🔶 Key Features
Swing Length: This input allows you to adjust the timeframe used to identify price swings for order block detection. A longer swing length will focus on larger timeframes and potentially capture stronger order blocks.
Show Last X Order Blocks: This controls the number of order blocks displayed on the chart. You can choose to visualize a specific number of the most recent order blocks.
Violation Check: This setting determines how the indicator identifies potential order block violations. You can choose between "Wick" or "Close" violations. A "Wick" violation occurs when the price (wick) extends beyond the order block boundaries, while a "Close" violation signifies that the closing price breaches the order block.
Hide Overlap: This option allows you to manage the display of overlapping order blocks. If set to "True," only non-overlapping order blocks will be shown, potentially offering a clearer visualization.
Colors: You can customize the color scheme for bullish (upward) and bearish (downward) order blocks to enhance visual clarity on the chart.
🔶 Interpreting the Indicator
Order Blocks: The teal-colored boxes represent bullish order blocks, indicating areas of demand where buying pressure is likely to be strong. Red-colored boxes represent bearish order blocks, indicating areas of supply where selling pressure is likely to be dominant. These zones often signal potential reversal points or consolidation areas.
Strength Calculations: The indicator calculates the relative strength of bullish and bearish blocks based on volume. A higher bullish strength indicates stronger buying pressure, while higher bearish strength suggests more selling pressure. Traders can use this information to gauge the strength of a price level and predict future price movements.
Market Structure Lines: The indicator displays horizontal lines to depict the current market structure, labeled as "MSB" (Market Sell Balance) or "BOS" (Break of Structure). These lines can help visualize the prevailing trend direction.
Order Block Violations: When a price wick or close breaches an order block (depending on the chosen violation type), the corresponding order block visualization is removed from the chart. This can signify a potential weakening of the identified support or resistance zone.

Breaker Blocks + Order Blocks confirm [TradingFinder] BBOB Alert🔵 Introduction
In the realm of technical analysis, various tools and concepts are employed to identify key levels on price charts. These tools assist traders in analyzing market trends with greater precision, enabling them to optimize their trading decisions. Among these tools, the Order Block and Breaker Block hold a significant place, serving as effective instruments for analyzing market structure.
🟣 Order Block
An Order Block refers to zones on a chart where large financial institutions and high-volume traders place their orders. Due to the substantial volume of buy or sell orders in these areas, they are often regarded as pivotal points for potential price reversals or temporary pauses in a trend. Order Blocks are particularly crucial when prices react to these zones after a strong market move, acting as strong support or resistance levels.
🟣 Breaker Block
On the other hand, a Breaker Block refers to areas on a chart that previously functioned as Order Blocks but where the price has managed to break through and continue in the opposite direction. These zones are typically recognized as key points where market trends might shift, helping traders identify potential reversal points in the market.
🟣 Overlapping Block (BBOB)
Now, imagine a scenario where these two essential concepts in technical analysis—Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks—overlap on a chart. Although this overlap is not specifically discussed within the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) trading framework, exploring and utilizing this overlap can provide traders with powerful insights into strong support and resistance zones. The combination of these two robust concepts can highlight critical areas in trading, potentially offering significant advantages in making informed trading decisions.
In this article, we will delve into the concept of this overlap, explaining how to utilize it in trading strategies. Additionally, we will analyze the potential outcomes and benefits of incorporating this concept into your trading decisions.
Bullish Overlapping Block (BBOB) :
Bearish Overlapping Block (BBOB) :
🔵 How to Use
The overlap between Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks is a compelling and powerful concept that can help traders identify key levels on the chart with a high probability of success. This overlap is particularly valuable because it combines two well-regarded concepts in technical analysis—zones of high order volume and critical market shifts.
🟣 Here’s how to effectively use this overlap in your trading
1. Dentifying the Overlapping Block : To make the most of the overlap between Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks, begin by identifying these zones separately. Order Blocks are areas where price typically reacts and reverses after a strong market move.
Breaker Blocks are areas where a previous Order Block has been breached, and the price continues in the opposite direction. When these two zones overlap on a chart, it’s crucial to pay close attention to this area, as it represents a high-probability reaction zone.
2. Analyzing the Overlapping Block : After identifying the overlap zone, carefully analyze price action within this region. Candlestick patterns and price behavior can provide essential clues.
If the price reaches this overlap zone and strong reversal patterns such as Pin Bars or Engulfing patterns are observed, it’s likely that this zone will act as a pivotal reversal point. In such cases, entering a trade with confidence becomes more feasible.
3. Entering the Trade : When sufficient signs of price reaction are present in the overlap zone, you can proceed to enter the trade. If the overlap zone is within an uptrend and bullish reversal signals are evident, a long position might be appropriate.
Conversely, if the overlap zone is in a downtrend and bearish reversal signals are observed, a short position would be more suitable.
4. Risk Management : One of the most critical aspects of trading in overlap zones is managing risk. To protect your capital, place your stop loss near the lowest point of the Order Block (for buy trades) or the highest point (for sell trades). This approach minimizes potential losses if the overlap zone fails to hold.
5. Price Targets : After entering the trade, set your price targets based on other key levels on the chart. These targets could include other support and resistance zones, Fibonacci levels, or pivot points.

🟣 Benefits of the Overlapping Block Between Order Block and Breaker Block
1. Enhanced Precision in Identifying Key Levels : The overlap between these two zones usually acts as a highly reliable area for price reactions, increasing the accuracy of identifying entry and exit points.
2. Reduced Trading Risk : Given the high importance of the overlap zone, the likelihood of making incorrect decisions is reduced, contributing to overall lower trading risk.
3. Increased Probability of Success : The overlap between Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks combines two powerful concepts, enhancing the likelihood of success in trades, as multiple indicators confirm the importance of the area.
4. Creation of Better Trading Opportunities : Overlap zones often provide traders with more robust trading opportunities, as these areas typically represent strong reversal points in the market.
5. Compatibility with Other Technical Tools : This concept seamlessly integrates with other technical analysis tools such as Fibonacci retracements, trend lines, and chart patterns, offering a more comprehensive market analysis.

How It Works
This indicator employs a K-means clustering algorithm to dynamically identify key price levels based on the historical price data within a specified lookback window. It starts by initializing three centroids based on the highest, lowest, and an average between the highest and lowest price over the lookback period. The algorithm then iterates through the price data to cluster the prices around these centroids, dynamically adjusting them until they stabilize, representing potential support and resistance levels. These levels are further confirmed based on a separate confirmation length parameter to identify "fixed" levels, which are then drawn as horizontal lines on the chart. The script continuously updates these levels as new data comes in, while also removing older levels to keep the chart clean and relevant, offering traders a clear and adaptive view of market structure.

Cumulative Delta [TradingFinder] Volume + Periodic + EMA🔵 Introduction
To fully grasp the concept of Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD), it's essential first to understand Volume Delta. In trading and technical analysis, the term "Delta" typically refers to the difference between two values or the rate of change between two data points.
Volume Delta represents the difference between buying and selling pressure, calculated for each candlestick on a chart. This difference can vary across different timeframes.
A positive delta indicates that buying volume exceeds selling volume, while a negative delta shows that selling volume is greater. When buying and selling volumes are equal, the volume delta equals zero.
🟣 What is Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)?
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) is a powerful tool in technical analysis that aggregates delta values for each candlestick, creating a comprehensive indicator that helps traders assess market trends.
Unlike the standard Volume Delta, which compares delta on a candle-by-candle basis, CVD provides insight into the overall buying and selling pressure during key market swings. A downward-trending CVD suggests that selling pressure is dominating, which is typically a bearish signal.
Conversely, an upward-trending CVD indicates bullish sentiment. This analysis becomes even more significant when comparing CVD with price action and market structure, helping traders to predict asset price directions.
By evaluating market highs and lows, one can determine the market trend. A consistent rise in these points indicates an uptrend, while a consistent fall suggests a downtrend.
🔵 How to Use
Understanding how to detect trend changes using Cumulative Volume Delta is crucial for traders. Typically, CVD aligns with market structure, moving in the same direction as price trends.
However, divergences between CVD and price trends or signs of exhaustion in volume can be powerful indicators of potential market reversals. Recognizing these patterns can help traders make informed decisions and improve their trading strategies.
🟣 Identifying Trend Exhaustion with Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)
The Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) indicator is especially effective in identifying weakening trends in the market. For instance, if gold's price hits a new low, but CVD does not follow suit, this may indicate a lack of seller interest despite the new low, signaling potential seller exhaustion.
Most traders interpret this as a possible reversal from a bearish to a bullish trend. Similarly, if gold reaches a new high but CVD fails to do the same, it can suggest that buyers lack the strength to push the market higher, indicating a possible trend reversal.
🟣 Utilizing Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) Divergence in Price Trend Analysis
Another effective use of CVD is identifying divergences in price trends. For example, if CVD breaks a previous high or low while the price remains stable, this divergence often indicates that buying or selling pressure is being absorbed.
For instance, if CVD rises sharply without a corresponding increase in gold prices, it may suggest that sellers are absorbing the buying pressure, potentially leading to a strong sell-off. Conversely, if gold prices remain stable while CVD declines, it could indicate that buyers are absorbing selling pressure, likely leading to a price increase once selling subsides.
🔵 Setting
Cumulative Mode : It has three modes "Total", "Periodic" and "EMA". In "Total" mode, it collects the volume from the beginning to the end. In "Periodic" mode, it accumulates the volume periodically and in "EMA" mode, it calculates the moving average of the volume.
Period : You can set the period of " Periodic " and " EMA " modes.
Market Ultra Data : If you turn on this feature, 26 large brokers will be included in the calculation of the trading volume.
The advantage of this capability is to have more reliable volume data. You should be careful to specify the market you are in, FOREX brokers and Crypto brokers are different.
🔵 Conclusion
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) is a powerful analytical tool in financial markets that helps analysts and traders assess buying and selling pressure by aggregating and combining the volume delta for each candlestick.
CVD can indicate the strength or weakness of a market trend. When CVD moves upward, it signals that buying pressure is dominant and is considered a bullish signal; conversely, a downward movement in CVD indicates that selling pressure is stronger and is viewed as a bearish signal.
This indicator is particularly effective in identifying divergences and exhaustion in market trends. For example, if CVD does not align with price movements, it may suggest a potential trend reversal.
Traders use this information to make more informed trading decisions, especially when identifying entry and exit points in the market.
Overall, CVD is a tool that enables analysts to better understand market fluctuations and more accurately predict future market trends.
Trading Desk - OPEN SOURCEThe Trading Desk - is a powerful tool designed to identify key market stages based on Break of Structure (BOS) patterns.

Accumulation: Identified when a series of Bullish MBs dominate the market, signaling a potential upward trend.
Distribution: Triggered by dominant Bearish MBs, indicating a possible market decline.
Reaccumulation: Occurs after a sequence of Bullish MBs is followed by up to three Bearish MBs, suggesting a continuation of the upward trend after a temporary pullback.
Redistribution: Appears when a sequence of Bearish MBs is followed by up to three Bullish MBs, indicating a potential continuation of the downward trend after a brief upward correction.
The indicator also includes a dynamic table displayed at the top right of the chart, showing the current market stage in real-time. This helps traders quickly assess the market environment and make informed trading decisions.
Ideal for: Traders looking to understand market structure and identify trend continuation or reversal phases.
Predictive Order Blocks [CryptoSea]The Predictive Order Blocks Indicator is a unique and innovative tool that enhances market analysis by identifying support and resistance blocks based on standard deviations from a median line. Unlike traditional indicators that rely solely on the close price, this indicator leverages the median line and standard deviations to form areas of interest, rather than targeting a single price point. This approach provides a more accurate representation of market structure, especially during periods of consolidation and expansion.
Key Features
Multi-Term Length Analysis: The indicator offers short, medium, and long-term settings, allowing traders to customise the analysis based on their preferred trading strategy and timeframe. This flexibility ensures that the tool is adaptable to various market conditions and trading styles.
Standard Deviation-Based Order Blocks: The core functionality of the indicator revolves around calculating standard deviations from a median line to form support and resistance blocks. These blocks provide a clearer and more reliable picture of market structure compared to single-point levels. By focusing on areas rather than exact price levels, the indicator helps traders identify zones where price is likely to react, leading to more informed trading decisions.
Dynamic Box Creation: The indicator dynamically creates breakout boxes based on user-selected standard deviation ranges. These boxes are formed at the start of market expansion following periods of consolidation. This feature is particularly useful because it highlights key levels where price is likely to retrace after breaking out, providing traders with actionable insights during market transitions.
Proximity-Based Gradient Colors: The indicator features gradient colors that change based on the price's proximity to the standard deviation bands. This visual aid helps traders quickly assess the current market condition and the potential significance of the support and resistance blocks.
Adaptive Display Options: To accommodate different trading preferences, the indicator includes options to toggle the display of the trend line (median line) and the standard deviation bands. This flexibility allows traders to customise their chart view to match their analysis style, whether they prefer a more clutter-free view or a detailed breakdown of market levels.
In the example below, the indicator shows the bands compressing during a period of consolidation, highlighting the potential for a breakout.
How it Works
Median Line Calculation: The indicator calculates the median line using a user-defined period. This line serves as the central reference point from which the standard deviations are calculated. By using the median line instead of just the close price, the indicator provides a more stable and reliable baseline for identifying support and resistance areas.
Standard Deviation Bands: Around the median line, the indicator calculates multiple standard deviation bands. These bands represent areas where price is statistically likely to find support or resistance. By focusing on these areas, traders can better anticipate where price might react, rather than relying on arbitrary levels.
Dynamic Box Creation and Expansion Detection: The indicator monitors the compression and expansion of the standard deviation bands. During periods of low volatility (squeeze), the bands compress, indicating consolidation. Once the bands start expanding, it signals the potential for a breakout. At this point, the indicator dynamically creates predictive order blocks based on the selected standard deviation range. These blocks highlight key levels where price might retrace or react, providing traders with valuable entry and exit points.
Color-Coded Proximity Alerts: To further enhance usability, the indicator uses color gradients to indicate how close the current price is to the calculated bands. This visual representation helps traders quickly assess the potential significance of the price's current position relative to the support and resistance areas.
In the example below, the indicator shows the bands expanding with the price, triggering the formation of the predictive order block.
In the final example, the price retraces into the order block before bouncing back to the upside, demonstrating the effectiveness of the identified support area.
Alerts
Trend Line Alerts: The indicator provides alerts when the price crosses above or below the trend line (median line). This feature is crucial for traders looking to identify potential trend changes early, allowing them to act quickly on emerging opportunities.
Band Alerts: Alerts are also triggered when the price crosses above or below the upper or lower bands for each standard deviation level. This helps traders identify potential breakout or breakdown scenarios, ensuring they are notified of significant market movements as they happen.
Customisable Alert Conditions: To cater to different trading strategies, the indicator allows users to set alert conditions for each standard deviation band and the trend line. This level of customisation ensures that traders receive alerts that are relevant to their specific trading style and market analysis.
Application
Strategic Decision-Making: The Predictive Order Blocks Indicator assists traders in making informed decisions by providing detailed analysis of potential breakout zones. By identifying key support and resistance areas, the indicator helps traders plan their entries and exits with greater precision.
Trend Confirmation: The indicator reinforces trading strategies by identifying key levels where price is likely to react. This confirmation is crucial for traders looking to enter trades with higher confidence.
Customized Analysis: The indicator adapts to various trading styles with extensive input settings that control the display and calculation of order blocks. Whether you're a day trader, swing trader, or long-term investor, the indicator can be tailored to meet your specific needs.
Visual Clarity: With customizable color settings and display options, the indicator enhances chart readability, allowing traders to quickly and easily interpret market data.
The Predictive Order Blocks Indicator by CryptoSea is an invaluable addition to a trader's toolkit, offering depth and precision in market trend analysis to navigate complex market conditions effectively.
Intellect_city - World Cycle - Ath - Timeframe 1D and 1WIndicator Overview
The Pi Cycle Top Indicator has historically been effective in picking out the timing of market cycle highs within 3 days.
It uses the 111 day moving average (111DMA) and a newly created multiple of the 350 day moving average, the 350DMA x 2.
Note: The multiple is of the price values of the 350DMA, not the number of days.
For the past three market cycles, when the 111DMA moves up and crosses the 350DMA x 2 we see that it coincides with the price of Bitcoin peaking.
It is also interesting to note that 350 / 111 is 3.153, which is very close to Pi = 3.142. In fact, it is the closest we can get to Pi when dividing 350 by another whole number.
It once again demonstrates the cyclical nature of Bitcoin price action over long time frames. However, in this instance, it does so with a high degree of accuracy over Bitcoin's adoption phase of growth.
Bitcoin Price Prediction Using This Tool
The Pi Cycle Top Indicator forecasts the cycle top of Bitcoin’s market cycles. It attempts to predict the point where Bitcoin price will peak before pulling back. It does this on major high time frames and has picked the absolute tops of Bitcoin’s major price moves throughout most of its history.
How It Can Be Used
Pi Cycle Top is useful to indicate when the market is very overheated. So overheated that the shorter-term moving average, which is the 111-day moving average, has reached an x2 multiple of the 350-day moving average. Historically, it has proved advantageous to sell Bitcoin around this time in Bitcoin's price cycles.
It is also worth noting that this indicator has worked during Bitcoin's adoption growth phase, the first 15 years or so of Bitcoin's life. With the launch of Bitcoin ETF's and Bitcoin's increased integration into the global financial system, this indicator may cease to be relevant at some point in this new market structure.
ICT KillZones Hunt [TradingFinder] 4 Sessions + OB + FVG + Alert🔵 Introduction
🟣 ICT
The "ICT" style is a subset of "Price Action" technical analysis. The primary goal of the ICT trading strategy is to merge "Price Action" with the "Smart Money" concept to pinpoint optimal trade entry points.
However, this approach's strength extends beyond merely finding entry points. It also helps traders gain a deeper understanding of price behavior and adapt their trading strategies to the market structure.
The most important concepts of "ICT" :
Order Block
Fair Value Gap(FVG)
Liquidity
🟣 Session
Financial markets are divided into several time periods, each featuring distinct characteristics and levels of activity. These periods, known as sessions, are active at different times during the day.
The primary active sessions in financial markets include :
Asian Session
European Session
New York Session
Based on the UTC time zone, the schedule for these key sessions is :
Asian Session: 23:00 to 06:00
European Session: 07:00 to 16:30
New York Session: 13:00 to 22:00
Note
To avoid session overlap and minimize interference during kill zones, the session times have been modified as follows :
Asian Session: 23:00 to 06:00
European Session: 07:00 to 14:25
New York Session: 14:30 to 22:55
🟣 KillZone
Kill zones are periods within a session where trader activity spikes. During these times, trading volume surges, and price movements become more pronounced.
The major kill zones, according to the UTC time zone, are as follows :
Asian Kill Zone: 23:00 to 03:55
European Kill Zone: 07:00 to 09:55
New York Morning Kill Zone: 14:30 to 16:55
New York Evening Kill Zone: 19:30 to 20:55
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Order Block
Order blocks are a distinct category of "Supply and Demand" zones, formed when a series of orders are grouped together. These blocks are often created by banks or other significant market participants.
Banks typically execute large orders in blocks during their trading sessions. If they were to enter the market with small quantities, substantial price movements would occur before the orders were fully executed, reducing potential profit.
To mitigate this, they divide their orders into smaller, more manageable positions. Traders should seek "buy" opportunities in "demand order blocks" and "sell" opportunities in "supply order blocks."
🟣 Fair Value Gap (FVG)
To pinpoint the "Fair Value Gap" on the chart, meticulous candle-by-candle analysis is essential. Pay close attention to candles with significant bodies, examining each candle alongside the one preceding it.
The candles flanking this central candle should exhibit elongated shadows, with bodies that do not intersect the body of the central candle. The span between the shadows of the first and third candles is referred to as the FVG range.
Note :
The origin of all Order Blocks and FVGs starts from inside a kill zone and extends up to the end of the same session.
🟣 Kill Zone Hunt
Following this strategy, after the conclusion of the kill zone and the stabilization of its high and low lines, if the price touches either of these lines within the same session and encounters a robust rejection, it presents an opportunity to enter a trade.

Volume Breaker Blocks [UAlgo]The "Volume Breaker Blocks " indicator is designed to identify breaker blocks in the market based on volume and price action. It is a concept that emerges when an order block fails, leading to a change in market structure. It signifies a pivotal point where the market shifts direction, offering traders opportunities to enter trades based on anticipated trend continuation.
🔶 Key Features
Identifying Breaker Blocks: The indicator identifies breaker blocks by detecting pivot points in price action and corresponding volume spikes.
Breaker Block Sensitivity: Traders can adjust breaker block detection sensitivity, length to be used to find pivot points.
Mitigation Method (Close or Wick): Traders can choose between "Close" and "Wick" as the mitigation method. This choice determines whether the indicator considers closing prices or wicks in identifying breaker blocks. Selecting "Close" implies that breaker blocks will be considered broken when the closing price violates the block, while selecting "Wick" implies that the wick of the candle must violate the block for it to be considered broken.
Show Last X Breaker Blocks: Users can specify how many of the most recent breaker blocks to display on the chart.
Visualization: Volume breaker blocks are visually represented on the chart with customizable colors and text labels, allowing for easy interpretation of market conditions. Each breaker block is accompanied by informational text, including whether it's bullish or bearish and the corresponding volume, aiding traders in understanding the significance of each block.

Smart Money Setup 05 [TradingFinder] Minor OB & Trend Proof🔵 Introduction
The "Smart Money Concept" transcends the realm of mere technical trading strategies to embody a comprehensive philosophy on the dynamics of market operations. It posits that key market participants engage in price manipulation, thereby complicating the trading landscape for smaller, retail traders.
Under this doctrine, retail traders are advised to tailor their strategies in alignment with the maneuvers of "Smart Money" - essentially, the capital operated by market makers.
To this end, one should endeavor to mirror the trading patterns of these influential market participants, who are adept at navigating through the nuances of supply, demand, and overall market structure. As a proponent of Smart Money trading, these elements are pivotal in your decision-making process for trade entries.
🟣 Key Insights
The core principle of this strategy hinges on misleading other traders. A sudden market movement against the prevailing trend that results in the formation of either a lower low or a higher high, followed by a pullback where a divergence pattern emerges, sets the stage.
Subsequently, the market may form another lower low or higher high. Traders, persuaded that the market will continue along the trajectory of the new movement, are caught off-guard when the price abruptly reverses direction. Following a "Stop Hunt" of the traders' open positions, the market resumes its initial trend.
To grasp the essence of this setup, observe the following illustrations.
"Bullish Setup" :
"Bearish Setup" :
🔵 How to Use
The setups can be customized based on the desired formation period. This adjustment can be made through the indicator's price setting options, where the default period is set at 2.
Upon configuring your preferred period, the signals become actionable. Once a setup forms, the subsequent step involves waiting for the price to reach the "Order Block".
"Bullish Setup" :
"Bearish Setup" :
[KVA] ICT Dealing rangesNaive aproach of Dynamic Detection of Dealing Ranges:
The script dynamically identifies dealing ranges based on sequences of upward or downward price movements. It uses arrays to track the highest highs and lowest lows after detecting two consecutive up or down bars, a fundamental step towards understanding market structure and potential shifts in momentum.
ICT Concept: Order Blocks & Fair Value Gaps. This aspect can be linked to the identification of order blocks (bullish or bearish) and fair value gaps. Order blocks are essentially the last bearish or bullish candle before a significant price move, which this script could approximate by identifying the highs and lows of potential reversal zones.
Red and Green Ranges for Bullish and Bearish Movements:
The script separates these movements into red (bearish) and green (bullish) ranges, effectively categorizing potential areas of selling and buying pressure.
ICT Concept: Liquidity Pools. Red ranges could be indicative of areas where selling might occur, potentially leading to liquidity pools below these ranges. Conversely, green ranges might indicate potential buying pressure, with liquidity pools above. These areas are critical for ICT traders, as they often represent zones where price may return to "hunt" for liquidity.
Horizontal Lines for High and Low Points:
The indicator draws horizontal lines at the high and low points of these ranges, offering visual cues for significant levels.
ICT Concept: Breaker Blocks & Mitigation Sequences. The high and low points of these ranges can be seen as potential breaker blocks or areas for future mitigation sequences. In ICT terms, breaker blocks are areas where institutional orders have overwhelmed retail stop clusters, creating potential entry points for trend continuation or reversal. The high and low points marked by the indicator could serve as references for these sequences, where price might return to retest these levels.
Customizability and Historical Depth:
With inputs like rangePlot and maxBarsBack, the indicator allows for customization of the number of ranges to display and how far back in the chart history it looks to identify these ranges. This flexibility is crucial for tailoring the analysis to different trading strategies and timeframes.
ICT Concept: Market Structure Analysis. The ability to adjust the depth and number of ranges plotted caters to a detailed market structure analysis, an essential component of ICT methodology. Traders can adjust these parameters to better understand the distribution of buying and selling pressure over time and how actions have shaped price movements.
Candle volume analysis The indicator is designed for traders who are more interested in market structures and price action using volumes. Volume analysis can help traders build a clearer understanding of zones of buyer and seller interest, as well as places to capture liquidity (traders' stop levels).
Key Features:
The indicator highlights candle volumes in selected colors, where the volume is greater individually than the volumes of the trader's chosen number of preceding candles. Or the volume that is greater than the sum of volumes of the trader's chosen number of preceding candles.

ICT Macros [LuxAlgo]The ICT Macros indicator aims to highlight & classify ICT Macros, which are time intervals where algorithmic trading takes place to interact with existing liquidity or to create new liquidity.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Macros
Macro Time options (such as '09:50 AM 10:10'): Enable specific macro display.
Top Line , Mid Line , Bottom Line and Extending Lines options: Controls the lines for the specific macro.
🔹 Macro Classification
Length : A length to detect Market Structure Brakes and classify macro type based on detection.
Swing Area : Swing or Liquidity Area selection, highest/lowest of the wick or the candle bodies.
Accumulation , Manipulation and Expansion color options for the classified macros.
🔹 Others
Macro Texts : Controls both the size and the visibility of the macro text.
Alert Macro Times in Advance (Minutes) : This option will plot a vertical line presenting the start of the next macro time. The line will not appear all the time, but it will be there based on remaining minutes specified in the option.
Daylight Saving Time (DST) : Adjust time appropriate to Daylight Saving Time of the specific region.
🔶 USAGE
A macro is a way to automate a task or procedure which you perform on a regular basis.
In the context of ICT's teachings, a macro is a small program or set of instructions that unfolds within an algorithm, which influences price movements in the market. These macros operate at specific times and can be related to price runs from one level to another or certain market behaviors during specific time intervals. They help traders anticipate market movements and potential setups during specific time intervals.
To trade these effectively, it is important to understand the time of day when certain macros come into play, and it is strongly advised to introduce the concept of liquidity in your analysis.
Macros can be classified into three categories where the Macro classification is calculated based on the Market Structure prior to macro and the Market Structure during the macro duration:
Manipulation Macro
Manipulation macros are characterized by liquidity being swept both on the buyside and sellside.
Expansion Macro
Expansion macros are characterized by liquidity being swept only on the buyside or sellside. Prices within these macros are highly correlated with the overall trend.
Accumulation Macro
Accumulation macros are characterized by an accumulation of liquidity. Prices within these macros tend to range.
The script returns the maximum/minimum price values reached during the macro interval alongside the average between the maximum/minimum and extends them until a new macro starts. These levels can act as supports and resistances.
🔶 DETAILS
All required data for the macro detection and classification is retrieved using 1 minute data sets, this includes candles as well as pivot/swing highs and lows. This approach guarantees the visually presented objects are same (same highs/lows) on higher timeframes as well as the macro classification remain same as it is in 1 min charts.
8 Macros can be displayed by the script (4 are enabled by default):
02:33 AM 03:00 London Macro
04:03 AM 04:30 London Macro
08:50 AM 09:10 New York Macro
09:50 AM 10:10 New York Macro
10:50 AM 11:10 New York Macro
11:50 AM 12:10 New York Launch Macro
13:10 PM 13:40 New York Macro
15:15 PM 15:45 New York Macro
🔶 ALERTS
When an alert is configured, the user will have the ability to be notified in advance of the next Macro time, where the value specified in 'Alert Macro Times in Advance (Minutes)' option indicates how early to be notified.
🔶 LIMITATIONS
The script is supported on 1 min, 3 mins and 5 mins charts.

Liquidity Candles with Prev Day High/Low and Midnight OpenAlright, let's talk about how to use this fancy indicator. But first, let me warn you, using indicators is like driving a car, you can't just press the gas pedal and hope for the best. You need to know what you're doing, or else you'll crash and burn faster than a soufflé in a microwave.
Now, let's get started. The first thing you need to do is understand what this indicator is telling you. Think of it like a signalman at a train station. He's waving flags and giving hand signals to tell you whether it's safe to proceed or if you need to stop and wait. This indicator works the same way.
It's going to give you signals based on price movements, telling you whether it's safe to buy or sell. But don't get too excited, my friend. You still need to use your brain and make smart decisions. Don't just blindly follow the signals, or else you'll end up like a sheep being led to the slaughter.
Now, let's talk about some of ICT's smart money trading concepts. First up, we have "liquidity grabs". This is when the big boys in the market create false breakouts to shake out the weak hands. They're like school bullies stealing lunch money from the little kids. But you can avoid being a victim by watching for signs of a liquidity grab, and using your brain to decide whether it's a real breakout or just a trap.
Next up, we have "stop runs". This is when the big players purposely trigger stop-loss orders to get a better entry or exit. It's like a game of chicken, but with your money on the line. To avoid being run over, keep an eye on your stop-loss orders, and don't be too predictable in your trading.
Finally, we have "market structure". This is like the blueprint of the market, showing you where the support and resistance levels are. It's like a treasure map to finding the best trades. But don't forget that market structure can change over time, so keep updating your map and stay ahead of the game.
So there you have it, my friend. A quick tutorial on using this indicator, with a side of ICT's smart money trading concepts. But remember, indicators are just tools, and you're the one driving the car. Use your brain, stay alert, and don't be a sheep. Happy trading!

3 Candle Strike StretegyMainly developed for AMEX:SPY trading on 1 min chart. But feel free to try on other tickers.
Basic idea of this strategy is to look for 3 candle reversal pattern within trending market structure. The 3 candle reversal pattern consist of 3 consecutive bullish or bearish candles,
followed by an engulfing candle in the opposite direction. This pattern usually signals a reversal of short term trend. This strategy also uses multiple moving averages to filter long or short
entries. ie. if the 21 smoothed moving average is above the 50, only look for long (bullish) entries, and vise versa. There is option change these moving average periods to suit your needs.
I also choose to use Linear Regression to determine whether the market is ranging or trending. It seems the 3 candle pattern is more successful under trending market. Hence I use it as a filter.
There is also an option to combine this strategy with moving average crossovers. The idea is to look for 3 candle pattern right after a fast moving average crosses over a slow moving average.
By default , 21 and 50 smoothed moving averages are used. This gives additional entry opportunities and also provides better results.
This strategy aims for 1:3 risk to reward ratio. Stop losses are calculated using the closest low or high values for long or short entries, respectively, with an offset using a percentage of
the daily ATR value. This allows some price fluctuation without being stopped out prematurely. Price target is calculated by multiplying the difference between the entry price and the stop loss
by a factor of 3. When price target is reach, this strategy will set stop loss at the price target and wait for exit condition to maximize potential profit.
This strategy will exit an order if an opposing 3 candle pattern is detected, this could happen before stop loss or price target is reached, and may also happen after price target is reached.
*Note that this strategy is designed for same day SPY option scalping. I haven't determined an easy way to calculate the # of contracts to represent the equivalent option values. Plus the option
prices varies greatly depending on which strike and expiry that may suits your trading style. Therefore, please be mindful of the net profit shown. By default, each entry is approximately equal
to buying 10 of same day or 1 day expiry call or puts at strike $1 - $2 OTM. This strategy will close all open trades at 3:45pm EST on Mon, Wed, and Fri.
**Note that this strategy also takes into account of extended market data.
***Note pyramiding is set to 2 by default, so it allows for multiple entries on the way towards price target.
Remember that market conditions are always changing. This strategy was only able to be back-tested using 1 month of data. This strategy may not work the next month. Please keep that in mind.
Also, I take no credit for any of the indicators used as part of this strategy.

Session Levels - Ultimate Range IndicatorSession Levels - Ultimate Range Indicator
Primarily developed for trading the E-MINI Futures Markets like NQ or ES from the CME Group,
but also more than suitable for Crypto or other instruments.
This indicator highlights the chosen session, which can be Globex, Asian, London and New York.
It plots the important levels and also renders the Opening Range as it forms (a.k.a. Initial Balance).
After the 1st hour Opening Range is finished, it can plot the Standard Deviations / Projections.
See below for a complete feature list.
All Opening Ranges on chart and for the New York session the Range Projections are turned on:
s3.tradingview.com
How to use (example):
If you are trading the Nasdaq Futures (NQ!)
Enable the Globex Overnight session. Basically in the Futures Market, the Globex session is everything outside of US trading hours of Stocks. This draws the important overnight levels, like the Low, 25%, 50%, 75% and the High.
Enable the New York Session with Levels and Opening Range. Generally, 70% of the time the 1st hour will put a Low or High of the day.
If the price is trading above the Globex Low, most likely the Low of the Day is formed and the price target for the day will be 1.5x Standard Deviation and 2x Standard Deviation.
[*} Deviation of the Initial Balance depends on the volume ad overall market structure.
** This is not financial advice or any guarantee **
Features:
Show each Session Highlighted on Intraday chart in it's own color (each session can be turned off and has customizable times and color)
Show Line Levels of each session: Low, 25%, 50%, 75% and the High (customizable color)
Show the Opening Range (Initial Balance) of the Asian, London and New York session. Note: NY has more options.
Opening Range is displayed as a box with level lines (customizable color)
Levels are drawn to the end of the NY Cash session (customizable time)
Show IB Standard Deviations 0.5 - 3.0. Calculated from the Opening Range (Initial Balance)
Option to display Higher Timeframe levels: Previous Day Open/Close and Previous Week Open/Close
All level lines and OR boxes size dynamically as the session progresses
Built in Alerts for when price hits key levels. e.g. Alert when price crosses the NY Opening Range High. Or an Alert when the first STDEV is hit.
Option to toggle display of drawings for Today's trading session only, or Show all recent session levels. This keeps the chart clean or not.
Extras:
The NY Opening Range also has a 50% level line
The NY Opening Bar can be highlighted separately
The Level Lines can have small labels turned on/off. Values are only shown on mouse over to keep a clean chart
Keep in mind:
1) This indicator works on all instruments, but on instruments with limited market hours, your chart setting
has to be set to "Extended Hours" otherwise. For example TSLA on NASDAQ.
2) The Exchange Time Zone for the CME Group is Chicago UTC-6. So the session times you configure in the settings menu are based on that timezone too.
3) Globex opens at 5pm CST and closes when the US session starts 8:30CST.
4) When enabling the Alerts in the Indicator settings, be sure to also create an alarm for this indicator using the Alarm function of Tradingview.
Multi-Indicator by johntradingwickThe Multi-Indicator includes the functionality of the following indicators:
1. Market Structure
2. Support and Resistance
3. VWAP
4. Simple Moving Average
5. Exponential Moving Average
Functionality of the Multi-Indicator:
Market Structure
As we already know, the market structure is one of the most important things in trading. If we are able to identify the trend correctly, it takes away a huge burden. For this, I have used the Zig Zag indicator to identify price trends. It plots points on the chart whenever the prices reverse by a larger percentage than a predetermined variable. The points are then connected by straight lines that will help you to identify the swing high and low.
This will help you to filter out any small price movements, making it easier to identify the trend, its direction, and its strength levels. You can change the period in consideration and the deviation by changing the deviation % and the depth.
Support and Resistance
The indicator provides the functionality to add support and resistance levels. If you want more levels just change the timeframe it looks at in the settings. It will pull the SR levels off the timeframe specified in the settings.
You can select the timeframe for support and resistance levels. The default time frame is “same as the chart”.
You can also extend lines to the right and change the width and colour of the lines. There is also an option to change the criteria to select the lines as valid support or resistance. You can extend the S/R level or use the horizontal lines to mark the level when there is a change in polarity.
VWAP
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) is used to measure the average price weighted by volume. VWAP is typically used with intraday charts as a way to determine the general direction of intraday prices. It's similar to a moving average in that when the price is above VWAP, prices are rising and when the price is below VWAP, prices are falling. VWAP is primarily used by technical analysts to identify market trend.
Simple Moving Average
A simple Moving Average is an unweighted Moving Average. This means that each day in the data set has equal importance and is weighted equally. As each new day ends, the oldest data point is dropped and the newest one is added to the beginning.
The multi-indicator has the ability to provide 5 moving averages. This is particularly helpful if you want to use various time periods such as 20, 50, 100, and 200. Although this is just basic functionality, it comes in handy if you are using a free account.
Exponential Moving Average
An exponential moving average (EMA) is a type of moving average (MA) that places a greater weight and significance on the most recent data points. An exponentially weighted moving average reacts more significantly to recent price changes than a simple moving average. The multi-indicator provides 5 exponential moving averages. This is particularly helpful if you want to use various time periods such as 20, 50, 100, and 200.
Higher Order PivotsFirst order pivot points are defined as 3 or 5 bar "V" shaped patterns. For example a high with a lower high either side of the peak and in the case of the 5 bar variant with lower highs adjacent to a high below the peak.
Second order pivot points are defined by three first order pivots in the same manner. For example a peak pivot high with a lower pivot high to either side.
Third order pivots follow the same pattern, a peak second order pivot high with two adjacent second order pivot highs.
As it can take a significant and variable amount of time before higher order pivots are confirmed, it is generally inadvisable to use higher order pivots for live trading!
However they can be used for historical analysis. For example to delineate market structure of major market inflections.
For example :
Delineating market structure using 2nd order pivots derived from 3 bar, 1st order pivots
Major market inflections from 3rd order pivots derived from 5 bar, 1st order pivots
