How it Helps Traders
### 1. Multi-timeframe Analysis
By overlaying higher timeframe candles on your current chart, this indicator allows you to easily identify key levels, trends, and potential reversal points across different timeframes without switching between multiple charts.
### 2. Power of Three Strategy
This indicator is invaluable for traders using the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) Power of Three strategy, which focuses on accumulation, manipulation, and distribution phases. The higher timeframe candles help identify these phases more accurately, allowing for better trade entries and exits:
- Accumulation: Identify periods of sideways price action on higher timeframes.
- Manipulation: Spot false breakouts or breakdowns on lower timeframes that are contained within higher timeframe ranges.
- Distribution: Recognize when price is approaching significant higher timeframe levels where smart money may begin to distribute.
### 3. Turtle Soup
Traders can use this indicator to spot potential Turtle Soup setups by identifying key breakout levels on higher timeframes and comparing them to current price action. This helps in:
- Identifying false breakouts that may lead to Turtle Soup trade opportunities.
- Confirming the validity of breakouts by comparing lower timeframe momentum to higher timeframe structure.
### 4. Candle Range Theory (CRT)
This indicator is extremely useful for traders applying Candle Range Theory. CRT focuses on the relationship between the current candle's range and the previous candle's range. By displaying higher timeframe candles, traders can:
- Easily compare candle ranges across multiple timeframes.
- Identify potential breakout or breakdown levels based on the previous HTF candle's range.
- Spot instances where the current lower timeframe price action is testing or breaking significant HTF candle ranges.
- Recognize potential reversal points where price reaches the extremes of higher timeframe candle ranges.
### 5. Support and Resistance
Higher timeframe candles often represent significant support and resistance levels. This indicator makes it easy to spot these levels and incorporate them into your trading decisions, allowing you to:
- Identify key support and resistance levels from higher timeframes.
- Anticipate potential price reactions at these levels on your current timeframe.
- Plan entries, exits, and stop-loss placement with greater precision.
### 6. Trend Identification
By displaying multiple HTF candles, traders can quickly assess the overall trend direction on higher timeframes, helping to align trades with the broader market direction:
- Easily visualize the trend on higher timeframes without changing your chart.
- Identify potential trend changes or continuations based on HTF candle patterns.
- Align your trades with the higher timeframe trend for potentially higher probability setups.
### 7. Enhanced Decision Making
The combination of current timeframe price action and higher timeframe context allows for more informed decision-making, potentially improving trade quality and risk management:
- Validate trade setups by ensuring they align with higher timeframe structure.
- Avoid low-probability trades that conflict with higher timeframe trends or key levels.
- Adjust position sizing based on the proximity to significant HTF levels.
### 8. Time Efficiency
Instead of constantly switching between timeframes, traders can view all necessary information on a single chart, streamlining their analysis process:
- Reduce the time spent switching between multiple charts.
- Quickly assess market conditions across various timeframes.
- Improve focus by having all relevant information in one view.
### 9. ICT Price Delivery (PD) Arrays
The HTF Multi Candles Display is particularly useful for traders familiar with Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts, especially in identifying Price Delivery (PD) arrays:
- Visualize potential PD arrays across multiple timeframes without switching charts.
- Identify key swing highs and lows that form PD array structures.
- Recognize patterns such as Breaker Blocks, Inefficient Price Points, and Fair Value Gaps more easily on higher timeframes.
- Spot potential areas where smart money might be accumulating or distributing by analyzing the relationship between HTF candles.
- Use the series of HTF candles to identify potential Order Blocks, which are often key components of PD arrays.
- Recognize Mitigation Points and Liquidity Voids more effectively by analyzing the structure of multiple HTF candles.
By displaying a series of HTF candles, this indicator allows traders to more easily identify and validate ICT concepts like PD arrays, enhancing their ability to spot high-probability trading opportunities and potential market turning points.
Conclusion
The HTF Multi Candles Display indicator is suitable for traders of all levels, from beginners looking to understand market structure across timeframes to experienced traders refining their multi-timeframe analysis techniques. Whether you're day trading, swing trading, or looking for longer-term positions, this indicator provides valuable insights to enhance your trading strategy.
By incorporating higher timeframe context into your analysis, you can make more informed trading decisions, identify high-probability setups, and potentially improve your overall trading performance. The HTF Multi Candles Display is a versatile tool that adapts to various trading strategies and helps traders gain a deeper understanding of market dynamics across multiple timeframes, including advanced concepts like ICT Price Delivery arrays.

Harmonic Patterns Library [TradingFinder]🔵 Introduction
Harmonic patterns blend geometric shapes with Fibonacci numbers, making these numbers fundamental to understanding the patterns.
One person who has done a lot of research on harmonic patterns is Scott Carney.Scott Carney's research on harmonic patterns in technical analysis focuses on precise price structures based on Fibonacci ratios to identify market reversals.
Key patterns include the Gartley, Bat, Butterfly, and Crab, each with specific alignment criteria. These patterns help traders anticipate potential market turning points and make informed trading decisions, enhancing the predictability of technical analysis.
🟣 Understanding 5-Point Harmonic Patterns
In the current library version, you can easily draw and customize most XABCD patterns. These patterns often form M or W shapes, or a combination of both. By calculating the Fibonacci ratios between key points, you can estimate potential price movements.
All five-point patterns share a similar structure, differing only in line lengths and Fibonacci ratios. Learning one pattern simplifies understanding others.
🟣 Exploring the Gartley Pattern
The Gartley pattern appears in both bullish (M shape) and bearish (W shape) forms. In the bullish Gartley, point X is below point D, and point A surpasses point C. Point D marks the start of a strong upward trend, making it an optimal point to place a buy order.
The bearish Gartley mirrors the bullish pattern with inverted Fibonacci ratios. In this scenario, point D indicates the start of a significant price drop. Traders can place sell orders at this point and buy at lower prices for profit in two-way markets.
🟣 Analyzing the Butterfly Pattern
The Butterfly pattern also manifests in bullish (M shape) and bearish (W shape) forms. It resembles the Gartley pattern but with point D lower than point X in the bullish version.
The Butterfly pattern involves deeper price corrections than the Gartley, leading to more significant price fluctuations. Point D in the bullish Butterfly indicates the beginning of a sharp price rise, making it an entry point for buy orders.
The bearish Butterfly has inverted Fibonacci ratios, with point D marking the start of a sharp price decline, ideal for sell orders followed by buying at lower prices in two-way markets.
🟣 Insights into the Bat Pattern
The Bat pattern, appearing in bullish (M shape) and bearish (W shape) forms, is one of the most precise harmonic patterns. It closely resembles the Butterfly and Gartley patterns, differing mainly in Fibonacci levels.
The bearish Bat pattern shares the Fibonacci ratios with the bullish Bat, with an inverted structure. Point D in the bearish Bat marks the start of a significant price drop, suitable for sell orders followed by buying at lower prices for profit.
🟣 The Crab Pattern Explained
The Crab pattern, found in both bullish (M shape) and bearish (W shape) forms, is highly favored by analysts. Discovered in 2000, the Crab pattern features a larger final wave correction compared to other harmonic patterns.
The bearish Crab shares Fibonacci ratios with the bullish version but in an inverted form. Point D in the bearish Crab signifies the start of a sharp price decline, making it an ideal point for sell orders followed by buying at lower prices for profitable trades.
🟣 Understanding the Shark Pattern
The Shark pattern appears in bullish (M shape) and bearish (W shape) forms. It differs from previous patterns as point C in the bullish Shark surpasses point A, with unique level measurements.
The bearish Shark pattern mirrors the Fibonacci ratios of the bullish Shark but is inverted. Point D in the bearish Shark indicates the start of a sharp price drop, ideal for placing sell orders and buying at lower prices to capitalize on the pattern.
🟣 The Cypher Pattern Overview
The Cypher pattern is another that appears in both bullish (M shape) and bearish (W shape) forms. It resembles the Shark pattern, with point C in the bullish Cypher extending beyond point A, and point D forming within the XA line.
The bearish Cypher shares the Fibonacci ratios with the bullish Cypher but in an inverted structure. Point D in the bearish Cypher marks the start of a significant price drop, perfect for sell orders followed by buying at lower prices.
🟣 Introducing the Nen-Star Pattern
The Nen-Star pattern appears in both bullish (M shape) and bearish (W shape) forms. In the bullish Nen-Star, point C extends beyond point A, and point D, the final point, forms outside the XA line, making CD the longest wave.
The bearish Nen-Star has inverted Fibonacci ratios, with point D indicating the start of a significant price drop. Traders can place sell orders at point D and buy at lower prices to profit from this pattern in two-way markets.
The 5-point harmonic patterns, commonly referred to as XABCD patterns, are specific geometric price structures identified in financial markets. These patterns are used by traders to predict potential price movements based on historical price data and Fibonacci retracement levels.
Here are the main 5-point harmonic patterns :
Gartley Pattern
Anti-Gartley Pattern
Bat Pattern
Anti-Bat Pattern
Alternate Bat Pattern
Butterfly Pattern
Anti-Butterfly Pattern
Crab Pattern
Anti-Crab Pattern
Deep Crab Pattern
Shark Pattern
Anti- Shark Pattern
Anti Alternate Shark Pattern
Cypher Pattern
Anti-Cypher Pattern

ICSM (Impulse-Correction & SCOB Mapper) [WinWorld]DESCRIPTION
ICSM (Impulse-Correction SCOB Mapper) is the indicator that analyzes the price movement and identifies valid impulses, corrections and SCOBs. It is a powerful tool that can be used with any type of technical analysis because it's flexible, informative, easy to use and it does substantially improve trader's awareness of the most liquid zones of interest.
SETTINGS
General | Visuals
Colour theme — defines the colour theme of the ICSM.
SCOB | Visuals
Show SCOB — enables/disables SCOB;
Mark SCOB with — represents a list of style options for SCOB representation;
SCOB colour — defines the colour of the SCOB;
ICM | Visuals
Show ICM lines — enables/disables ICM (Impulse-Correction Mapper) lines;
Show IC trend — enables/disables visualization of impulse-correction trend via coloured divider at the bottom of the chart;
Line colour — defines the colour of the ICM lines;
Line style — defines the style of the ICM lines;
Alerts
ICM — enables/disables alert for breaking ICM lines;
SCOB — enables/disables alert for SCOB creation;
ICM+SCOB — enables/disables alert for SCOB occurance at the end of the single impulse/correction, which grabs ICM line's liquidity.
ICM+SCOB (same candle) — enables/disables alert for SCOB occurance at the candle, which grabs ICM line's liquidity.
IMPORTANT CONCEPTS
In order to fully understand what ICSM can do, let's do a quick overview of the most important concepts that this indicator is built on.
By ICM we mean the liquidity grabbing of Impulse-Correction Mapper's lines (ICM lines; represented as dashed horizontal lines on the chart ). Saying shortly, liquidity grabs of ICM lines posses great opportunities for finding great entries.
SCOB (Single Candle Order Block) builds up by 3 simple rules:
Previous candle's liquidity is grabbed;
Current candle closes inside previous candle;
Imbalance occurs on the next candle.
SCOB is a quite useful zone of interest, from which the price usually reverses. You can also use SCOB as POI* on HTF** or as entry zone on LTF***.
* POI — Point Of Interest
* HTF — Higher TimeFrame
* LTF — Lower TimeFrame
"ICM+SCOB" is a short name that we use for event, at which price first grabs the liquidity from ICM line and then creates a SCOB at the same impulse/correction movement ( on the same ICM line, that does the liquidity grab ). Usually the SCOB that occurs after this event represents a highly liquid zone of interest , which should be considered when choosing entry level.
"ICM+SCOB (same candle)" is basically the same as "ICM+SCOB" event but with one major difference — the candle, which grabs the liquidity of ICM line, is also the candle at which the SCOB occurs, making such SCOB an even better zone of interest than a regular SCOB from ICM+SCOB event.
BIGGEST ADVANTAGES
ICSM precisely identifies impulses and corrections. Huge load of indicators on the TradingView does only show the simplest zones of interests, while ICSM uses our team's signature algorithms to precisely identify true impulses and corrections in the market, allowing traders to see both local and global price direction better and at the same time providing traders with the most liquid zones of interest;
ICSM shows points of interest and liquidity. The indicator identifies the nearest points of interest and zones, where the liquidity is concentrated, allowing you to find great entry and exit points for your trades;
ICSM has SCOB (Single Candle Order Block) detection function. ICM is packed with the extremely useful in SMC trading SCOB detetction feature, which allows you find even more solid points of interest;
ICSM has super minimalistic design, which contains only the things you really need. Your chart will not be overloaded with unnecessary information. You will only see clear points of interest, liquidity and price movement.
WHY SHOULD YOU USE IT?
As was said above, ICSM allows you to see the most profitable points and zones of interest, which professional SMC traders consider as one of the best in the market, because they are historically the areas from which the price bounces the most, allowing the smartest traders to get quick an clean profits with low drawdown.
In the ICSM indicator these zones are SCOB and ICM line liquidity grabs. By using these zones of interest to find entry points, you increase the chance to open a trade at the most lucrative price and reduce trading risks.
Considering what was said above, this indicator can help traders reduce drawdown risks and increase potential profits simply by showing the most liquid zones of interest, which are perfect for opening a trading position.
Here are some of the examples of how you leverage ICSM in your trading process:
Example of the short trade:
Price shows overall short trend. Trend liquidity is being formed.
Price grabs liduiqity from three ICM lines in a row and then creates a long SCOB at the end of 3rd liquidity grab.
SCOB, which occured at the end of ICM line, represents much stronger zone of interest than a regular SCOB. In this case it represents a zone, which we will use to find an entry.
The entry for the trade will be SCOB candle's low, stop-loss target should be put above SCOB candle's high. Our take-profit target is trend liquidity. See the screenshot above for better understanding.
▼ Now let's see the long trade example. ▼
Example of the long trade:
Price creates trend liquidity by showing equal highs ( EQH ).
Price grabs liduiqity from four ICM lines in a row and then creates a long SCOB at the end of 4th liquidity grab.
Again: SCOB, which occured at the end of ICM line, represents much stronger zone of interest than a regular SCOB. In this case it represents a zone, which we will use to find an entry.
The entry for the trade will be SCOB candle's high, stop-loss target should be put below SCOB candle's low. Our take-profit target is EQH. See the screenshot above for better understanding.
ALERTS
ICSM provides simple and easy alert customization, allwoing to choose only the alerts you want to receive. You can choose from the following alert options:
ICM — impulse or correction liquidity grab;
SCOB — SCOB is formed, wether or not the liquidity is grabbed from the impulse or correction;
SCOB+ICM — SCOB is formed after grabbing the liquidity of the ICM line;
SCOB+ICM (same candle) — SCOB is formed in the liquidity area of the impulse or correction.
HOW CAN I GET THE MOST OUT OF IT?
ICSM displays only the first liquidity of an impulse or correction, which matches the IDM (Inducement) in the Advanced SMC strategy . This strategy is completely covered in the World Class SMC indicator and is available for free for PDF in three parts.
You can also ICSM with any other strategy, because ICSM is a very flexible indicator and will help anyone improve their trading by making one aware of the high-quality liquidity on the chart.
Let's see how you can leverage ICSM with our World Class SMC indicator and other different strategies:
Example of the long & short trades with World Class SMC.
Long (1-3):
Price reached previous OB-EXT . This is the first sign for the potential price reversal;
ICM+SCOB happened after price reached OB-EXT;
After that, you can need to look for an entry on LTF. If you don't know how to do it, you can refer to our education materials.
Short (4-6):
Price reached OB-IDM , which is also a great sign for a potential upcoming price reversal;
ICM+SCOB occured after liquidity grab of the previous SCOB. This fact does strengthen the probability of the potential upcoming price reversal;
Now you need to switch to LTF and find an entry there.
Example of the short trade with simple Fibonacci retracement strategy.
Price grabs the liquidity of the ICM lines three times in a row, forming SCOB after the 3rd grab;
Price performs correctional move down without testing the SCOB, leaving no entry opportunity by our initial strategy, so we can add another strategy — Fibonacci retracement from 0.618 level — to our analysis in order to find an entry ;
We use Fibonacci grid with our initial strategy to find the best POI, that will align with the trend direction and will eventually become our entry point.
SUMMARY
ICSM is a unique indicator that indentifies zones and points of interests with high-quiality liquidity and can be both a stand-alone tool and can be integrated into any other strategy to increase the efficiency of analysis, accuracy of trading entries and reduce trading risks.
If you want to learn the SMC strategies that our team uses in our products, you can refer to our educational materials.
We hope that you will find a great use of ICSM and it will help you improve your perfomance as a trader. Best of luck, traders!

ICT KillZones + Pivot Points [TradingFinder] Support/Resistance 🟣 Introduction
Pivot Points are critical levels on a price chart where trading activity is notably high. These points are derived from the prior day's price data and serve as key reference markers for traders' decision-making processes.
Types of Pivot Points :
Floor
Woodie
Camarilla
Fibonacci
🔵 Floor Pivot Points
Widely utilized in technical analysis, floor pivot points are essential in identifying support and resistance levels. The central pivot point (PP) acts as the primary level, suggesting the trend's likely direction.
The additional resistance levels (R1, R2, R3) and support levels (S1, S2, S3) offer further insight into potential trend reversals or continuations.
🔵 Camarilla Pivot Points
Featuring eight distinct levels, Camarilla pivot points closely correspond with support and resistance, making them highly effective for setting stop-loss orders and profit targets.
🔵 Woodie Pivot Points
Similar to floor pivot points, Woodie pivot points differ by placing greater emphasis on the closing price, often resulting in different pivot levels compared to the floor method.
🔵 Fibonacci Pivot Points
Fibonacci pivot points combine the standard floor pivot points with Fibonacci retracement levels applied to the previous trading period's range. Common retracement levels used are 38.2%, 61.8%, and 100%.
🟣 Sessions
Financial markets are divided into specific time segments, known as sessions, each with unique characteristics and activity levels. These sessions are active at different times throughout the day.
The primary sessions in financial markets include :
Asian Session
European Session
New York Session
The timing of these major sessions in UTC is as follows :
Asian Session: 23:00 to 06:00
European Session: 07:00 to 14:25
New York Session: 14:30 to 22:55
🟣 Kill Zones
Kill zones are periods within a session marked by heightened trading activity. During these times, trading volume surges and price movements become more pronounced.
The timing of the major kill zones in UTC is :
Asian Kill Zone: 23:00 to 03:55
European Kill Zone: 07:00 to 09:55
New York Kill Zone: 14:30 to 16:55
Combining kill zones and pivot points in financial market analysis provides several advantages :
Enhanced Market Sentiment Analysis : Aligns key price levels with high-activity periods for a clearer market sentiment.
Improved Timing for Trade Entries and Exits : Helps better time trades based on when price movements are most likely.
Higher Probability of Successful Trades : Increases the accuracy of predicting market movements and placing profitable trades.
Strategic Stop-Loss and Profit Target Placement : Allows for precise risk management by strategically setting stop-loss and profit targets.
Versatility Across Different Time Frames : Effective in both short and long time frames, suitable for various trading strategies.
Enhanced Trend Identification and Confirmation : Confirms trends using both pivot levels and high-activity periods, ensuring stronger trend validation.
In essence, this integrated approach enhances decision-making, optimizes trading performance, and improves risk management.
🟣 How to Use
🔵 Two Approaches to Trading Pivot Points
There are two main strategies for trading pivot points: utilizing "pivot point breakouts" and "price reversals."
🔵 Pivot Point Breakout
When the price breaks through pivot lines, it signals a shift in market sentiment to the trader. In the case of an upward breakout, where the price crosses these pivot lines, a trader might enter a long position, placing their stop-loss just below the pivot point (P).
Conversely, if the price breaks downward, a short position can be initiated below the pivot point. When using the pivot point breakout strategy, the first and second support levels can serve as profit targets in an upward trend. In a downward trend, these roles are filled by the first and second resistance levels.
🔵 Price Reversal
An alternative method involves waiting for the price to reverse at the support and resistance levels. To implement this strategy, traders should take positions opposite to the prevailing trend as the price rebounds from the pivot point.
While this tool is commonly used in higher time frames, it tends to produce better results in shorter time frames, such as 1-hour, 30-minute, and 15-minute intervals.
Three Strategies for Trading the Kill Zone
There are three principal strategies for trading within the kill zone :
Kill Zone Hunt
Breakout and Pullback to Kill Zone
Trading in the Trend of the Kill Zone
🔵 Kill Zone Hunt
This strategy involves waiting until the kill zone concludes and its high and low lines are established. If the price reaches one of these lines within the same session and is strongly rejected, a trade can be executed.
🔵 Breakout and Pullback to Kill Zone
In this approach, once the kill zone ends and its high and low lines stabilize, a trade can be made if the price breaks one of these lines decisively within the same session and then pulls back to that level.
🔵 Trading in the Trend of the Kill Zone
Kill zones are characterized by high trading volumes and strong trends. Therefore, trades can be placed in the direction of the prevailing trend. For instance, if an upward trend dominates this area, a buy trade can be entered when the price reaches a demand order block.
Smart Money Setup 03 [TradingFinder] Minor OB & Trend Proof🔵 Introduction
The "Smart Money Concept" transcends mere technical trading strategies; it embodies a comprehensive philosophy elucidating market dynamics. Central to this concept is the acknowledgment that influential market participants manipulate price actions, presenting challenges for retail traders.
As a "retail trader", aligning your strategy with the behavior of "Smart Money," primarily market makers, is paramount. Understanding their trading patterns, which revolve around supply, demand, and market structure, forms the cornerstone of your approach. Consequently, decisions to enter trades should be informed by these considerations.
🟣 Important Note
In this setup, pattern formation revolves around the robustness of the "Stop Hunt" targeting retail traders.
When this stop hunt occurs, if the price tests below the minor pivot or above the minor pivot, a "Minor Order Block" is formed.
Similarly, if the price tests below the major pivot or above the major pivot, a "Major Order Block" is formed.
Since the price hasn't successfully broken the major pivots before breaking the Top or Bottom, it can be inferred that the minor pivots formed within a leg of price movement exhibit a "Range" structure.
For a deeper comprehension of this setup, refer to the accompanying visual aids below.
Bullish Setup Details :
Bearish Setup Details :
🔵 How to Use
Upon integrating the indicator into your chart, exercise patience as you await the evolution of the trading setup.
Experiment with different trading positions by adjusting both the "Time Frame" and "Pivot Period". Typically, setups materializing over longer "Time Frames" and "Pivot Periods" carry heightened validity.
Bullish Setup Details on Chart :
Bearish Setup Details on Chart :
Within the settings, you possess the flexibility to modify the "Pivot Period" input to tailor the indicator to your preferences.
Market Structure (Range) & Internal Liquidity
This indicator will simplify the price-action reading of any trader/investor by decluttering his/her charts from un-important & confusing candles to highlight the true momentum candles which are usually formed by institutional buying/selling .
The indicator will be a good tool in the arsenal of the following styles of Trading/Investing
Smart Money / Liquidity Concepts
Price Action Concepts
Demand & Supply Concepts
Support & Resistance Concepts
UNIQUE FEATURES:
1. Market Structure - Range & Internal Liquidity:
Unlike other liquidity indicators, this indicator only highlights liquidity levels of significant importance. Not every intermediate high & low in a chart are worthy of noticing, hence by enabling the 'Swings' & 'Range (BoS)' feature in the indicator settings, the structure highs and lows (external liquidity) in a chart can be identified.
Any other liquidity levels within a market range (Range between structural High & Low) is known as internal liquidity which price targets to collect enough orders before heading towards the external liquidity levels.
2. Gaps (Fair Value Gaps / Imbalance):
Not every imbalance / gap between candles are important & trade-worthy. This feature of the indicator is different from the other widely available imbalance indicators & only highlights gaps formed by true momentum candles. Gaps between unimportant inside bars are not highlighted, as these bars occur in the absence of momentum.
3. True Price Action:
Looking at the two charts below, we can clearly observe the difference between price action of a confusing normal chart & the simplified price action highlighted by the indicator. This feature declutters the charts by only highlighting the candles a trader / investor should notice in a chart.
This feature when used in confluence with the liquidity levels feature & gap feature of the indicator, helps identify the true demand & supply zones (order blocks) in a chart.
Before
After
4. Zig Zag Lines:
This unique feature which is useful to Identify & Backtest different entry types taught by Smart Money Traders . This feature helps the trader understand the True Fractal Nature of price. This can also be seen as an alternate to the default line chart feature.
Examples of Entry Types taken by Smart Money Traders
ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
(These features are essential addons to trade liquidity. However, these are derived from publicly available indicators from the Tradingview library, but with a different interpretation for a better visualization of charts & or to time better trade entries without cluttering the charts)
a. Inside Bar & Outside Bars:
Identify not just a single Inside Bar as highlighted by other indicators, but to highlight a series of candles which are within a master candle range and are exhibiting unimportant sideways price action.
Outside Bars only relevant to momentum candles are highlighted, ignoring candles that occur within a master candle range. Highs & Lows of such Outside Bars are used by aggressive traders to identify liquidity levels in the charts.
b. Highs & Lows of previous Monthly / Weekly / Daily & Hourly Candles:
This feature draws Highs & Lows of previous Monthly / Weekly / Daily & Hourly Candles on the extreme right hand side of the chart to keep the charts clean.
Additionally for Hourly time frame, the indicator includes a setting to select the hourly candle time frame (60 min / 75 min / 240 min), which are personal and different for each trader.
UNDERLYING CONCEPT:
In the image below we see how a large majority of Traders / Investors incorrectly mark Structure markings, mistaking a raid of internal liquidity as a Break of Structure, thereby taking trades opposite to the broader trend of the markets
However, this indicator has a higher accuracy of identifying the correct price structure by only marking a structure high or low, when a subsequently opposite side liquidity is taken/raided. Further the broader trend of the markets can be easily identified by looking as to which side the Break of Structure has happened. (This is visible in the indicator in the form of 'Range' feature, so if a Range High is broken then it is understood to be in an uptrend & vice versa)
The underlying core functionality of the indicator is best displayed by the image below
USECASE OF THE INDICATOR:
Before taking any Buying/Selling position in the markets, a Trader / Investor must analyze the price action on the following parameters
HTF & LTF Trend Identification (To judge if trade is Pro-Trend or Counter-Trend)
Is Price at a High Probability Area of Interest?
Is Price satisfying the trade entry conditions?
Let us see how this indicator can be used as a complete trading system in itself and addresses each of the above parameters
Disclaimer: Illustrations shown below are just for understanding the features of the indicator & does not guarantee profitability. Every trader must back test their setups to arrive at a setup with an edge (positive expectancy) before they start actively trading the setup.
1. HTF & LTF Trend Identification (Pro-Trend / Counter-Trend) using 'Range (BoS)' feature of the indicator
Let's assume a Day Trader, uses hourly chart (75 min) to frame his Higher Time Frame (HTF) ideas & 15min charts (LTF) for trade entries
Looking at the chart below the Trader concludes that the HTF has most recently broken the structure to the downside and is considered Bearish till price action is below the range high of 48600 levels. It can also be concluded that the price is currently in a Bullish retracement.
The Trader can choose to take both Pro-Trend or Counter-Trend Trades, timing the trade entries using the LTF charts.
Looking at the LTF chart below, it is evident that price on LTF has also broken structure to the downside and is now aligned with the HTF Bearish Trend. The Trader will now look to get into short trades, to take trades both in line with HTF & LTF trend.
2. Let's identify if Price is at a High Probability Area of Interest, using either single or combination of the 'Swings' / 'Gaps' / 'Outside Bars' / 'HL of previous M,W,D, H candles' features of the indicator
Definition of High Probability Level / Area differs from each Traders perspective depending upon which of the Trading Styles (mentioned in the beginning) does one use.
Smart Money Traders
SMC Traders are known to get into trades early and their high R:R trades are taken mostly at a High Probability Area of Interest which are identified by them on HTF, by looking for candles with imbalance (gaps) & or candles which have taken out a previous liquidity and then having creating imbalance (gaps).
Also Turtle Soups is one of the favorite setups for SMC traders, where a trader enters a trade on LTF (typically 1 min/3min & 5min) after grabbing HTF liquidity lying at H/L of outside bar / previous monthly, weekly, daily or hourly candles.
Demand & Supply Traders
Some of the Best Demand & Supply Traders have the patience to wait for trades and take trades at the extreme Demand & Supply Zones within a market Range.
As illustrated below, the extreme hourly supply zone just below the structure high, which has the confluence of imbalance and Bearish HTF confirmation resulted in a good R:R trade.
Price Action Traders & Support & Resistance Traders
From the illustration below we can see how the 15 min Range breakdown confirms the breakdown of the Inverted Cup Pattern for Price Action Traders & Support & Resistance Traders using the same area of breakdown as the new Resistance to enter Short trades
3. Let's identify if Price is satisfying the Trade Entry Conditions using the 'Zig-Zag Lines' feature
Statistics say that majority (> 80%) of Traders blow up their accounts multiple times or completely give up and never achieve profitability.
One of the primary reasons for this is Traders punching trades randomly and without having proper Setup or rules for entering Trades.
Also in order to arrive at rules or execute the different entry models (couple of examples highlighted earlier) taught by different Trainers, a Trader needs to learn to visualize charts in a similar format to what the trainers are teaching.
The Zig-Zag lines feature is a form of line chart that joins the swing high points to the swing low points on the chart to represent the True Price action & a proper fractal nature of the markets, unlike the line chart which is formed by only by joining the closing value of each candle.
From the image below we can see that the Zig-Zag lines feature eliminates the randomness visible in the line chart and is a more smoother chart. Using this feature one can back test the various entry models widely available on the internet or arrive at a user specific model which he/she is comfortable with.
CONCLUSION:
Trading with a deeper understanding of Price Action allows a Trader/Investor to enter or exit trades with ease. Price Action trading allows individuals to keep their charts clean and stay away from the other lagging technical indicators and enter trades much earlier than other technical indicators.
This indicator attempts in simplifying the understanding of price action for every one and identify potential high probability areas / levels where one should enter / exit trades.
This indicator will be an important tool in the arsenal of any Trader / Investor to take better informed trades, however it does not guarantee profitability of a Trader, due to the randomness of the markets & external factors that influence each trader.

Smart Money Setup 02 [TradingFinder] Mitigated Major OB Proof🔵 Introduction
"Smart money" is money invested by knowledgeable individuals at the right time, and this investment can yield the highest returns.
The concept we focus on in this indicator is whether the market is in an uptrend or downtrend. The market briefly takes a weak and reversal trend with "Minor BoS" without being able to break the major pivot.
In the next step, it returns to its main trend with a strong bullish move and continues its trend with a "Major BoS". The "order block" behind this rapid and powerful movement can be a valid order block for trading.
To better understand this setup, please refer to the explanations in the two images below.
Bullish Setup Details :
Bearish Setup Details :
🔵 How to Use
After adding the indicator to the chart, you should wait for trading opportunities to form. By changing the "Time Frame" and "Period Pivot", you can see different trading positions. In general, the lower the "Time Frame" and "Period Pivot", the higher the likelihood of forming trading opportunities.

Volume [Entoryx]
Certainly! Here's a more concise description for the "Entoryx Volume" indicator, with less focus on the specifics of the order block bar detection:
The "Entoryx Volume" is a versatile technical indicator that analyzes the relationship between price ranges and volume over a user-defined number of bars. By calculating a delta between the highest high and lowest low, it offers insights into market momentum and direction.
Key features of this indicator include:
1) Current Value Plotting: A dynamic line plotted on the chart represents the current value, which reflects market trends. The color of the line changes to green for bullish conditions and red for bearish conditions, depending on its relationship with the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the close.
2) Color-Coded Regions: The area between the current value plot and a baseline zero line is filled with a corresponding color, providing a visual representation of market sentiment.
3) Boundary Lines: Horizontal lines at +10 and -10 serve as reference points to highlight significant market movements.
4) Order Block Bar Detection (Optional): An optional feature that places visual markers on the chart to signal potential reversals. This can be enabled or disabled by the user, according to preference.
The "Entoryx Volume" indicator is tailored for traders aiming to understand market momentum with a clear and visually intuitive display. It is suitable across various trading strategies and market conditions, with customization options to fit individual needs.

Price Action and market structure [Tcs] | PAThis indicator shows in real time the clearest and most complete vision of the price market structure, without considering volumes.
It has been developed mainly to identify price retracements in order to find the best entries in the market, but it include also other features which can be helpful for traders.
The indicator detects and highlight on the chart the market movement in multiple ways, including swing high, swing lows, the break of structure (BoS), change of character (CoCh), possible retracement movement, trend-lines generated through pivots, fibonacci and quarters theory levels based on previous pivot and daily, weekly and monthly highs and lows.
It can be set up on two different pivots look-back, one faster and one slower, to simplify the development of strategies for traders.
A longer look-back can detect a "slower" and less noisy structure, which can be more useful to detect massive retracements, while a shorter look-back can be useful to detect faster market moves, perfect for scalpers and to develop small price movement strategies.
Indicator features:
- Trend detection highlighted with colors - candles are colored in four different colors, and it's possible to choose if detect the fast and slow trend:
• Bullish move after structure break – green
• Bullish retracements – gray
• Bearish move after structure break – purple
• Bearish retracements – white
In this way traders can have a realtime vision of when the market is retracing in order to find better entries than entry immediately on a break of structure. It can be integrated with order blocks, ema or others indicators which can be helpful as support or resistance.
- Pivots and structure labels - in order to identify immediately if the trend is bullish, bearish or is changing direction:
• BoS + and BoS - are the bullish and bearish break of structure, respectively, and are colored to indicate a slower look-back, in gray to indicate a faster pivot look-back
• CoCh + and CoCh - are the bullish and bearish change of characters, respectively, and are colored to indicate a slower look-back.
• HH, HL, LL, and LH indicate the pivots of the trend. Al the pivots appear just when the pivots, based on fast or slow pivot look-back are confirmed
- Zigzag - The zigzag line helps to remove market noise and read the market structure in a simpler way.
• It's possible to select the zigzag line based on the slow or fast trend.
• Fast pivot look-back
•Slow pivot look-back
- Quarters theory and Fibonacci retracement:
• It creates a retracement that can be based on the fast or slow trend and small or big market move.
• The retracement is both bullish and bearish and includes the major Fibonacci levels and the most valuable areas from the quarters theory of market retracement.
• This helps to detect good entry points.
- Support and resistance, Daily, weekly, and monthly high, lows - just to heave a more clear view of important levels:
• It plots the highest and lowest pivot points based on the selected look-back.
• It plots the highs and lows of the day, week, and month.
- Trendlines:
• It plots the trend-lines based on past pivots.
• Here as well, it is possible to choose between fast and slow trend pivot look-back.
It's important to highlight that the indicator remarks on all facets of pure price action, not the smart money concept or liquidity areas.
Please note that this indicator is for educational purposes only and should not be used for trading without further testing and analysis.
ArtiumPro Smart Money ConceptsSmart money concepts refer to the use of institutional trading strategies which align with the perspectives of Smart Money in the market. i.e. the composite man. Market Structure is the foundation of price action trading, understanding price action is fundamental to SMC.
ArtiumPro SMC 2.1 is an SMC (Smart Money Concepts) indicator full of features to aid SMC traders. Our aim is to save you time with automatic chart mark-up and help you spot areas of interest you may miss with the naked eye.
Fvg (Fair Value Gap) - is also known as an imbalance. An FVG is an imbalance of orders, for instance, for sellers to complete their trades, there must be buyers and vice versa so when a market receives too many of one kind of order buys or sells, and not enough of the order's counterpart. When the amount is not balanced and too many orders are put in for one direction, it creates an imbalance.
Multi timeframe FVG - this will show the same as above but on the higher timeframe you choose. It’ll show as 2 lines that show the higher timeframe fvg with a filled box that mitigates on entry.
Order Blocks - These are supply and demand zones, displayed typically as the last down/up candle before a move in the opposite direction. Great POI’s for entry and take profits.
Outside candle - this is a candle that sweeps the highs and lows of the previous candle, best used for the 1 hour or above these can indicate a change of price direction.
Previous day high & low
Not only does it show your previous day's low and high but it also shows your opening and close of the day. You have settings where you can turn off the open and close and just have daily highs and lows. It’s your choice within your settings.
Market Structure - We have packed this feature with options that are customizable for you,
Break of Structure (BOS) indicates a trend continuation.
Change of Character (CHoCH) indicates the first sign of a possible trend change.
Equal Highs/lows - this will mark your double/triple tops and bottoms.
Retracement - set this to your preferred retracement amount to customize your market structure to what you qualify as a valid pullback.
Elliott Wave ZigZag
Many people ask for the Elliott Waves. Well, here it is, inside this SMC. Just like your pivot highs and lows, the Elliott Wave is showing in real-time so you can see where your previous highs and lows are with the Elliott Wave break of structures that you can use in conjunction with the Smart Money Concepts Indicator of ArtiumPro.
Fib levels - for Premium & Discount areas - in this Instance the fib is used to determine if the price has pulled back into a premium or discount zone for optimal trade entry.
Trading Sessions
One of the most advanced trading session indicators out there and it’s included inside the most advanced SMC indicator on the market today. It has open breakout and settings to filter the opening range along with your pip daily range. You can select what timezone you are in and it automatically adjusts on the chart. Cool right? Hope you enjoy it, happy trading!
Liquidity [NINE Θ]Liquidity
The Liquidity indicator is designed to automatically map out liquidity pools in the market by plotting swing highs and swing lows directly on your chart. These levels represent areas where stop orders and resting liquidity often accumulate — the zones that price is drawn toward and where major moves often originate.
This tool was built for traders who want a clear, minimal, and dynamic view of liquidity without the clutter of unnecessary signals.
🔑 Key Features
Automatic Swing Highs & Lows
Detects and plots liquidity levels based on customizable pivot parameters.
Dynamic Labels
Display price, timeframe, or both — giving you instant context for each liquidity level.
Custom Styling
Choose line style (solid/dashed/dotted), color themes, text size, and alignment to fit your chart layout.
Smart Extension & Cleanup
Extend lines until filled by price or automatically remove them once taken.
Optionally hide filled levels for a cleaner view.
Timeframe Awareness
Liquidity labels include the timeframe marker (e.g., , , ) to make multi-timeframe analysis seamless.
🎯 Why Use This?
Liquidity drives price. By highlighting where liquidity is resting — above highs and below lows — this indicator helps you anticipate sweeps, stop hunts, and potential reversal points.
Perfect for ICT-inspired traders, liquidity sweep strategies, or anyone who wants to see the market through the lens of liquidity.
⚙️ Recommended Use
Use on any market: futures, forex, stocks, or crypto.
Combine with session tools, order blocks, fair value gaps, or displacement concepts for confluence.
Works across all timeframes — from scalping to swing trading.
✨ Liquidity gives you the ability to map out liquidity pools automatically, stay one step ahead of the market, and trade with precision.
Simple Liquidity Zones [Supertrade]🔎 What this indicator does
This indicator is designed to highlight liquidity sweep zones on the chart.
• A liquidity sweep occurs when price briefly breaks above a recent swing high or below a recent swing low, but fails to close beyond it.
• Such behavior often indicates that price has taken liquidity (stop orders resting above highs or below lows) and may reverse.
The indicator marks these events as bullish or bearish liquidity zones:
• Bullish Zone (green) → Price swept a swing low and closed back above it (possible bullish reversal area).
• Bearish Zone (red) → Price swept a swing high and closed back below it (possible bearish reversal area).
These zones are drawn as shaded horizontal bands that extend forward in time, providing visual areas where liquidity grabs occurred.
________________________________________
⚙️ How calculations are made
The indicator does not use moving averages or smoothing.
Instead, it works with raw price action:
1. Swing Detection → It checks the highest high and lowest low of the past N bars (swing length).
2. Sweep Logic →
o A bearish sweep happens if the high breaks above the previous swing high, but the close returns below that level.
o A bullish sweep happens if the low breaks below the previous swing low, but the close returns above that level.
3. Zone Creation → When a sweep is detected, a shaded zone is drawn just above/below the swing level.
4. Persistence → Zones extend into the future until replaced by new ones (or optionally until price fully trades through them).
This makes the calculations simple, transparent, and responsive to actual market structure without lag.
________________________________________
📈 How it helps traders
This tool helps traders by:
• Visualizing liquidity areas → Shows where price previously swept liquidity and may act as support/resistance.
• Identifying reversals → Helps spot potential turning points after liquidity grabs.
• Risk management → Zones highlight areas where stops may be targeted, useful for positioning stop-loss orders.
• Confluence tool → Works best when combined with other strategies such as order blocks, trendlines, or volume analysis.
⚠️ Note: Like all indicators, this should not be used in isolation. It provides context, not guaranteed trade signals.
________________________________________
🏦 Markets & Timeframes
• Works across all markets (crypto, forex, stocks, indices, commodities).
• Particularly effective in high-liquidity environments where stop-hunting is common (e.g., forex majors, BTC/ETH, S&P500).
• Timeframes:
o Lower timeframes (1m–15m) → Scalpers can spot intraday liquidity sweeps.
o Higher timeframes (1H–1D) → Swing traders can identify major liquidity pools.

Wickless Tap Signals Wickless Tap Signals — TradingView Indicator (v6)
A precision signal-only tool that marks BUY/SELL events when price “retests” the base of a very strong impulse candle (no wick on the retest side) in the direction of trend.
What it does (in plain English)
Finds powerful impulse candles:
Bull case: a green candle with no lower wick (its open ≈ low).
Bear case: a red candle with no upper wick (its open ≈ high).
Confirms trend with an EMA filter:
Only looks for bullish bases while price is above the EMA.
Only looks for bearish bases while price is below the EMA.
Waits for the retest (“tap”):
Later, if price revisits the base of that wickless candle
Bullish: taps the candle’s low/open → BUY signal
Bearish: taps the candle’s high/open → SELL signal
Optional level “consumption” so each base can trigger one signal, not many.
The idea: a wickless impulse often marks strong initiative order flow. The first retest of that base frequently acts as a springboard (bull) or ceiling (bear).
Exact rules (formal)
Let tick = syminfo.mintick, tol = tapTicks * tick.
Trend filter
inUp = close > EMA(lenEMA)
inDn = close < EMA(lenEMA)
Wickless impulse candles (confirmed on bar close)
Bullish wickless: close > open and abs(low - open) ≤ tol
Bearish wickless: close < open and abs(high - open) ≤ tol
When such a candle closes with trend alignment:
Store bullTapLevel = low (for bull case) and its bar index.
Store bearTapLevel = high (for bear case) and its bar index.
Signals (must happen on a later bar than the origin)
BUY: low ≤ bullTapLevel + tol and inUp and bar_index > bullBarIdx
SELL: high ≥ bearTapLevel - tol and inDn and bar_index > bearBarIdx
One-shot option
If enabled, once a signal fires, the stored level is cleared so it won’t trigger again.
Inputs (Settings)
Trend EMA Length (lenEMA): Default 200.
Use 50–100 for intraday, 200 for swing/position.
Tap Tolerance (ticks) (tapTicks): Default 1.
Helps account for tiny feed discrepancies. Set 0 for strict equality.
One Signal per Level (oneShot): Default ON.
If OFF, multiple taps can create multiple signals.
Plot Tap Levels (plotLevels): Draws horizontal lines at active bases.
Show Pattern Labels (showLabels): Marks the origin wickless candles.
Plots & Visuals
EMA trend line for context.
Tap Levels:
Green line at bullish base (origin candle’s low/open).
Red line at bearish base (origin candle’s high/open).
Signals:
BUY: triangle-up below the bar on the tap.
SELL: triangle-down above the bar on the tap.
Labels (optional):
Marks the original wickless impulse candle that created each level.
Alerts
Two alert conditions are built in:
“BUY Signal” — fires when a bullish tap occurs.
“SELL Signal” — fires when a bearish tap occurs.
How to set:
Add the indicator to your chart.
Click Alerts (⏰) → Condition = this indicator.
Choose BUY Signal or SELL Signal.
Set your alert frequency and delivery method.
Recommended usage
Timeframes: Works on any; start with 5–15m intraday, or 1H–1D for swing.
Markets: Equities, futures, FX, crypto. For thin/illiquid assets, consider a slightly larger Tap Tolerance.
Confluence ideas (optional, but helpful):
Higher-timeframe trend agreeing with your chart timeframe.
Volume surge on the origin wickless candle.
S/R, order blocks, or SMC structures near the tap level.
Avoid major news moments when slippage is high.
No-repaint behavior
Origin patterns are detected only on bar close (barstate.isconfirmed), so bases are created with confirmed data.
Signals come after the origin bar, on subsequent taps.
There is no lookahead; lines and shapes reflect information known at the time.
(As with all real-time indicators, an intrabar tap can trigger an alert during the live bar; the signal then remains if that condition held at bar close.)
Known limitations & design choices
Single active level per side: The script tracks only the most recent bullish base and most recent bearish base.
Want a queue of multiple simultaneous bases? That’s possible with arrays; ask and we’ll extend it.
Heikin Ashi / non-standard candles: Wick definitions change; for consistent behavior use regular OHLC candles.
Gaps: On large gaps, taps can occur instantly at the open. Consider one-shot ON to avoid rapid repeats.
This is an indicator, not a strategy: It does not place trades or compute PnL. For backtesting, we can convert it into a strategy with SL/TP logic (ATR or structure-based).
Practical tips
Tap Tolerance:
If you miss obvious taps by a hair, increase to 1–2 ticks.
For FX/crypto with tiny ticks, even 0 or 1 is often enough.
EMA length:
Shorten for faster signals; lengthen for cleaner trend selection.
Risk management (manual suggestion):
For BUY signals, consider a stop slightly below the tap level (or ATR-based).
For SELL signals, consider a stop slightly above the tap level.
Scale out or trail using structure or ATR.
Quick checklist
✅ Price above EMA → watch for a green no-lower-wick candle → store its low → BUY on tap.
✅ Price below EMA → watch for a red no-upper-wick candle → store its high → SELL on tap.
✅ Use Tap Tolerance to avoid missing precise touches by one tick.
✅ Consider One Signal per Level to keep trades uncluttered.
FAQ
Q: Why did I not get a signal even though price touched the level?
A: Check Tap Tolerance (maybe too strict), trend alignment at the tap bar, and that the tap happened after the origin candle. Also confirm you’re on regular candles.
Q: Can I see multiple bases at once?
A: This version tracks the latest bull and bear bases. We can extend to arrays to keep N recent bases per side.
Q: Will it repaint?
A: No. Bases form on confirmed closes, and signals only on later bars.
Q: Can I backtest it?
A: This is a study. Ask for the strategy variant and we’ll add entries, exits, SL/TP, and stats.

Dynamic Liquidity Depth [BigBeluga]
Dynamic Liquidity Depth
A liquidity mapping engine that reveals hidden zones of market vulnerability. This tool simulates where potential large concentrations of stop-losses may exist — above recent highs (sell-side) and below recent lows (buy-side) — by analyzing real price behavior and directional volume. The result is a dynamic two-sided volume profile that highlights where price is most likely to gravitate during liquidation events, reversals, or engineered stop hunts.
🔵 KEY FEATURES
Two-Sided Liquidity Profiles:
Plots two separate profiles on the chart — one above price for potential sell-side liquidity , and one below price for potential buy-side liquidity . Each profile reflects the volume distribution across binned zones derived from historical highs and lows.
Real Stop Zone Simulation:
Each profile is offset from the current high or low using an ATR-based buffer. This simulates where traders might cluster their stop-losses above swing highs (short stops) or below swing lows (long stops).
Directional Volume Analysis:
Buy-side volume is accumulated only from bullish candles (close > open), while sell-side volume is accumulated only from bearish candles (close < open). This directional filtering enhances accuracy by capturing genuine pressure zones.
Dynamic Volume Heatmap:
Each liquidity bin is rendered as a horizontal box with a color gradient based on volume intensity:
- Low activity bins are shaded lightly.
- High-volume zones appear more vividly in red (sell) or lime (buy).
- The maximum volume bin in each profile is emphasized with a brighter fill and a volume label.
Extended POC Zones:
The Point of Control (PoC) — the bin with the most volume — is extended backwards across the entire lookback period to mark critical resistance (sell-side) or support (buy-side) levels.
Total Volume Summary Labels:
At the center of each profile, a summary label displays Total Buy Liquidity and Total Sell Liquidity volume.
This metric helps assess directional imbalance — when buy liquidity is dominant, the market may favor upward continuation, and vice versa.
Customizable Profile Granularity:
You can fine-tune both Resolution (Bins) and Offset Distance to adjust how far profiles are displaced from price and how many levels are calculated within the ATR range.
🔵 HOW IT WORKS
The indicator calculates an ATR-based buffer above highs and below lows to define the top and bottom of the liquidity zones.
Using a user-defined lookback period, it scans historical candles and divides the buffered zones into bins.
Each bin checks if bullish (or bearish) candles pass through it based on price wicks and body.
Volume from valid candles is summed into the corresponding bin.
When volume exists in a bin, a horizontal box is drawn with a width scaled by relative volume strength.
The bin with the highest volume is highlighted and optionally extended backward as a zone of importance.
Total buy/sell liquidity is displayed with a summary label at the side of the profile.
🔵 USAGE/b]
Identify Stop Hunt Zones: High-volume clusters near swing highs/lows are likely liquidation zones targeted during fakeouts.
Fade or Follow Reactions: Price hitting a high-volume bin may reverse (fade opportunity) or break with strength (confirmation breakout).
Layer with Other Tools: Combine with market structure, order blocks, or trend filters to validate entries near liquidity.
Adjust Offset for Sensitivity: Use higher offset to simulate wider stop placement; use lower for tighter scalping zones.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Dynamic Liquidity Depth transforms raw price and volume into a spatial map of liquidity. By revealing areas where stop orders are likely hidden, it gives traders insight into price manipulation zones, potential reversal levels, and breakout traps. Whether you're hunting for traps or trading with the flow, this tool equips you to navigate liquidity with precision.

ICT Turtle Soup (Liquidity Reversal)ICT Turtle Soup — Liquidity Reversal Detection
Classic Liquidity Trap Reversal Strategy for Smart Money Traders
This indicator implements the ICT Turtle Soup concept — a classic liquidity-based reversal pattern — which occurs when price runs above or below a recent swing level to grab liquidity, then sharply reverses. This pattern is commonly used in Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Inner Circle Trader (ICT) strategies to anticipate false breakouts and high-probability reversals.
🔍 What This Script Does:
Identifies Swing Highs & Lows
Detects recent swing highs and lows using a customizable lookback period.
Tracks Liquidity Grabs
A bearish Turtle Soup setup is triggered when price breaks above a recent swing high but closes back below it.
A bullish Turtle Soup setup is triggered when price breaks below a recent swing low but closes back above it.
These conditions often signal liquidity traps, where price sweeps resting orders before reversing.
Plots Signals Directly on the Chart
Turtle Soup setups are marked with 🐢🔻 (bearish) and 🐢🔺 (bullish) labels.
Optional full-text labels can also be displayed for clarity and journaling.
Includes Alert Conditions
Alerts can be enabled to notify you of bullish or bearish Turtle Soup reversals in real-time.
⚙️ Customization Features:
Adjustable swing lookback period
Enable/disable Turtle Soup labels
Set label font size
Choose your preferred bullish/bearish signal colors
💡 How to Use:
Add this script to your chart (ideally on intraday timeframes such as 5m–15m).
Wait for a Turtle Soup signal near a key swing high/low or liquidity zone.
Combine with other confirmation tools (e.g., FVGs, Order Blocks, OTE) for stronger setups.
Use alerts to stay ahead of fast-moving reversals.
🧠 Why It Works:
Turtle Soup setups are rooted in liquidity theory — they exploit the market’s tendency to sweep obvious swing levels before reversing. These moves often trap retail traders and mark the beginning of Smart Money entries.
🔗 Best Used With:
Maximize the edge by combining this with other SMC tools:
✅ First FVG — Opening Range Fair Value Gap Detector
✅ ICT SMC Liquidity Grabs + OB + Fibonacci OTE Levels
✅ Liquidity Levels — Smart Swing Lows
Together, they create a complete ecosystem for identifying, confirming, and executing liquidity-driven trade setups with precision.
Quantum Motion Oscillator-QMO (TechnoBlooms)Quantum Motion Oscillator (QMO) is a momentum indicator designed for traders who demand precision. Combining multi-timeframe weighted linear regression with EMA crossovers, QMO offers a dynamic view of market momentum, helping traders anticipate trend shifts with greater accuracy.
This oscillator is inspired by quantum mechanics and wave theory, where market movement is seen as a series of probabilistic waves rather than rigid structures.
The histogram is plotted in proportion to the price movement of the candlesticks.
KEY FEATURES
1. Multi-Timeframe Histogram - Integrates 1 to 5 weighted linear regression averages, reducing lag while maintaining accuracy.
2. EMA Crossover Signal - Uses a Short and Long EMA to confirm trend shifts with minimal noise.
3. Adaptive Trend Analysis - Self-adjusting mechanics make QMO effective in both ranging and trending markets.
4. Scalable for Different Trading Styles - Works seamlessly for scalping, intraday, swing and position trading.
ADVANCED PROFESSIONAL INSIGHTS
1. Wave Dynamics and Market Flow - Inspired by wave mechanics, QMO reflects the energy accumulation and dissipation in price movements.
Expanding histogram waves = Strong momentum surge
Contracting waves = Momentum weakening, potential reversal zone.
2. Liquidity and Order Flow Applications - QMO works well alongside liquidity concepts and smart money techniques:
Combine with Fair Value Gaps & Order Blocks -> Enter when QMO signals align with liquidity zones.
Avoid False Moves - If price sweeps liquidity, but QMO momentum diverges, it is a sign of potential smart money manipulation.

Nirmal Fair Value GapsICT Fair Value Gaps
Trade Wisely
How a Fair Value Gap Works
Formation:
A Fair Value Gap occurs when a strong price movement (usually from institutional orders) creates an imbalance between buyers and sellers.
This is typically seen in a three-candle pattern, where the middle candle has a large body, and the two surrounding candles have wicks but little overlap with the middle candle’s range.
Identification:
The FVG is marked between the high of the first candle and the low of the third candle (for bullish gaps).
For bearish gaps, it’s the low of the first candle and the high of the third candle.
Market Behavior Around FVG:
Price often retraces into the gap before resuming its original direction.
This happens because the market seeks to "fill" the imbalance where few trades occurred.
Traders use FVGs as potential entry zones for trend continuation trades.
Trading Fair Value Gaps
In an Uptrend:
Look for bullish fair value gaps as potential support zones for buy entries.
Price may dip into the gap and then continue upward.
In a Downtrend:
Look for bearish fair value gaps as potential resistance zones for sell entries.
Price may retrace into the gap and then drop further.
Confluence Factors:
FVGs work best when combined with other strategies like order blocks, liquidity zones, or key Fibonacci levels.
SiCInside Sweep Close (ISC):
This concept captures a specific price action behavior and can help refine trading strategies for better precision. Here's a detailed explanation:
Inside:
The closing price of the candle stays within the range of the previous candle.
This indicates a containment of price action, suggesting indecision or preparation for a significant move.
Sweep:
The wick of the candle takes out (or "sweeps") the low (or high) of the previous candle.
This sweep can trigger stop-losses of retail traders or activate pending orders, often used by smart money strategies.
Close:
The candle ultimately closes inside the range of the previous candle.
This close signifies that the sweep was a liquidity grab rather than a genuine breakout, providing an actionable trading signal.
How ISC Can Be Used in Trading:
Liquidity Grab Recognition:
ISC can indicate when liquidity is swept from the market, making it an ideal entry point for traders anticipating a reversal or continuation.
Smart Money Concept (SMC) Synergy:
If you follow SMC principles, ISC aligns with key concepts like liquidity sweeps, order blocks, and mitigation zones.
Risk Management:
By identifying the ISC setup, you can place tighter stop-loss levels just outside the sweep, optimizing risk-reward ratios.
Entry Signals:
When you spot an ISC, you can enter trades at the close of the candle, anticipating a move in the direction opposite to the sweep.
Example of ISC in Action:
Imagine a bearish candle:
The wick sweeps the low of the previous candle, possibly triggering stop-losses.
However, the close stays inside the previous candle’s range.
This setup might indicate a reversal, where price moves upward after grabbing liquidity.
Why This Name Works:
It’s concise, professional, and directly linked to the trading action you’re describing.
The short form, ISC, is easy to remember and discuss within trading circles or while teaching others.
It ties into widely known concepts like smart money, price action, and liquidity sweeps, making it relatable yet unique.
