Add in dynamic stops, trailing exits, and a 5% drawdown circuit breaker, and you’ve got a system that’s as safe as it is aggressive. Whether you’re a newbie or a prop desk pro, this strat’s your ticket to outsmarting the markets. Let’s break down every detail and see why it’s a must-have.
Why Traders Need This Strategy
Futures markets are a gauntlet—fast moves, volatility spikes (like the April 28, 2025 NQ 1k-point drop), and institutional traps that punish the unprepared. Meanwhile, platforms are flooded with low-effort scripts that recycle old ideas with zero innovation. The Adaptive Regime stands tall, offering:
Adaptive Intelligence: Detects market regimes (Trending, Range, Volatile, Quiet) to optimize signals, unlike one-size-fits-all scripts.
Multi-Factor Precision: Combines candlestick patterns, MA trends, RSI, MACD, volume, and HTF confirmation for high-probability trades.
Futures-Optimized Risk: Calculates position sizes based on $ risk (default: $300), with ATR or fixed stops/TPs tailored for ES/MES.
Bulletproof Safety: 5% daily drawdown circuit breaker and trailing stops keep your account intact, even in chaos.
DAFE Visual Mastery: Pulsing Bollinger Band fills, dynamic SL/TP lines, and dual dashboards (metrics + position) make signals crystal-clear and charts a work of art.
Original Craftsmanship: A DAFE creation, built with community passion, not a rehashed clone of generic code.
Traders need this because it’s a complete, adaptive system that blends quant smarts, user-friendly design, and DAFE flair. It’s your edge to trade with confidence, cut through market noise, and leave the copycats in the dust.
Strategy Components
1. Market Regime Detection
The strategy’s brain is its ability to classify market conditions into five regimes, ensuring signals match the environment.
How It Works:
Trending (Regime 1): ADX > 20, fast/slow EMA spread > 0.3x ATR, HTF RSI > 50 or MACD bullish (htf_trend_bull/bear).
Range (Regime 2): ADX < 25, price range < 3% of close, no HTF trend.
Volatile (Regime 3): BB width > 1.5x avg, ATR > 1.2x avg, HTF RSI overbought/oversold.
Quiet (Regime 4): BB width < 0.8x avg, ATR < 0.9x avg.
Other (Regime 5): Default for unclear conditions.
Indicators: ADX (14), BB width (20), ATR (14, 50-bar SMA), HTF RSI (14, daily default), HTF MACD (12,26,9).
Why It’s Brilliant:
Regime detection adapts signals to market context, boosting win rates in trending or volatile conditions.
HTF RSI/MACD add a big-picture filter, rare in basic scripts.
Visualized via gradient background (green for Trending, orange for Range, red for Volatile, gray for Quiet, navy for Other).
2. Multi-Factor Signal Scoring
Entries are driven by a weighted scoring system that combines candlestick patterns, trend, momentum, and volume for robust signals.
Candlestick Patterns:
Bullish: Engulfing (0.5), hammer (0.4 in Range, 0.2 else), morning star (0.2), piercing (0.2), double bottom (0.3 in Volatile, 0.15 else). Must be near support (low ≤ 1.01x 20-bar low) with volume spike (>1.5x 20-bar avg).
Bearish: Engulfing (0.5), shooting star (0.4 in Range, 0.2 else), evening star (0.2), dark cloud (0.2), double top (0.3 in Volatile, 0.15 else). Must be near resistance (high ≥ 0.99x 20-bar high) with volume spike.
Logic: Patterns are weighted higher in specific regimes (e.g., hammer in Range, double bottom in Volatile).
Additional Factors:
Trend: Fast EMA (20) > slow EMA (50) + 0.5x ATR (trend_bull, +0.2); opposite for trend_bear.
RSI: RSI (14) < 30 (rsi_bull, +0.15); > 70 (rsi_bear, +0.15).
MACD: MACD line > signal (12,26,9, macd_bull, +0.15); opposite for macd_bear.
Volume: ATR > 1.2x 50-bar avg (vol_expansion, +0.1).
HTF Confirmation: HTF RSI < 70 and MACD bullish (htf_bull_confirm, +0.2); RSI > 30 and MACD bearish (htf_bear_confirm, +0.2).
Scoring:
bull_score = sum of bullish factors; bear_score = sum of bearish. Entry requires score ≥ 1.0.
Example: Bullish engulfing (0.5) + trend_bull (0.2) + rsi_bull (0.15) + htf_bull_confirm (0.2) = 1.05, triggers long.
Why It’s Brilliant:
Multi-factor scoring ensures signals are confirmed by multiple market dynamics, reducing false positives.
Regime-specific weights make patterns more relevant (e.g., hammers shine in Range markets).
HTF confirmation aligns with the big picture, a quant edge over simplistic scripts.
3. Futures-Tuned Risk Management
The risk system is built for futures, calculating position sizes based on $ risk and offering flexible stops/TPs.
Position Sizing:
Logic: Risk per trade (default: $300) ÷ (stop distance in points * point value) = contracts, capped at max_contracts (default: 5). Point value = tick value (e.g., $12.5 for ES) * ticks per point (4) * contract multiplier (1 for ES, 0.1 for MES).
Example: $300 risk, 8-point stop, ES ($50/point) → 0.75 contracts, rounded to 1.
Impact: Precise sizing prevents over-leverage, critical for micro contracts like MES.
Stops and Take-Profits:
Fixed: Default stop = 8 points, TP = 16 points (2:1 reward/risk).
ATR-Based: Stop = 1.5x ATR (default), TP = 3x ATR, enabled via use_atr_for_stops.
Logic: Stops set at swing low/high ± stop distance; TPs at 2x stop distance from entry.
Impact: ATR stops adapt to volatility, while fixed stops suit stable markets.
Trailing Stops:
Logic: Activates at 50% of TP distance. Trails at close ± 1.5x ATR (atr_multiplier). Longs: max(trail_stop_long, close - ATR * 1.5); shorts: min(trail_stop_short, close + ATR * 1.5).
Impact: Locks in profits during trends, a game-changer in volatile sessions.
Circuit Breaker:
Logic: Pauses trading if daily drawdown > 5% (daily_drawdown = (max_equity - equity) / max_equity).
Impact: Protects capital during black swan events (e.g., April 27, 2025 ES slippage).
Why It’s Brilliant:
Futures-specific inputs (tick value, multiplier) make it plug-and-play for ES/MES.
Trailing stops and circuit breaker add pro-level safety, rare in off-the-shelf scripts.
Flexible stops (ATR or fixed) suit different trading styles.
4. Trade Entry and Exit Logic
Entries and exits are precise, driven by bull_score/bear_score and protected by drawdown checks.
Entry Conditions:
Long: bull_score ≥ 1.0, no position (position_size <= 0), drawdown < 5% (not pause_trading). Calculates contracts, sets stop at swing low - stop points, TP at 2x stop distance.
Short: bear_score ≥ 1.0, position_size >= 0, drawdown < 5%. Stop at swing high + stop points, TP at 2x stop distance.
Logic: Tracks entry_regime for PNL arrays. Closes opposite positions before entering.
Exit Conditions:
Stop-Loss/Take-Profit: Hits stop or TP (strategy.exit).
Trailing Stop: Activates at 50% TP, trails by ATR * 1.5.
Emergency Exit: Closes if price breaches stop (close < long_stop_price or close > short_stop_price).
Reset: Clears stop/TP prices when flat (position_size = 0).
Why It’s Brilliant:
Score-based entries ensure multi-factor confirmation, filtering out weak signals.
Trailing stops maximize profits in trends, unlike static exits in basic scripts.
Emergency exits add an extra safety layer, critical for futures volatility.
5. DAFE Visuals
The visuals are pure DAFE magic, blending function with cyberpunk flair to make signals intuitive and charts stunning.
Shimmering Bollinger Band Fill:
Display: BB basis (20, white), upper/lower (green/red, 45% transparent). Fill pulses (30–50 alpha) by regime, with glow (60–95 alpha) near bands (close ≥ 0.995x upper or ≤ 1.005x lower).
Purpose: Highlights volatility and key levels with a futuristic glow.
Visuals make complex regimes and signals instantly clear, even for newbies.
Pulsing effects and regime-specific colors add a DAFE signature, setting it apart from generic scripts.
BB glow emphasizes tradeable levels, enhancing decision-making.
Chart Background (Regime Heatmap):
Green — Trending Market: Strong, sustained price movement in one direction. The market is in a trend phase—momentum follows through.
Orange — Range-Bound: Market is consolidating or moving sideways, with no clear up/down trend. Great for mean reversion setups.
Red — Volatile Regime: High volatility, heightened risk, and larger/faster price swings—trade with caution.
Gray — Quiet/Low Volatility: Market is calm and inactive, with small moves—often poor conditions for most strategies.
Navy — Other/Neutral: Regime is uncertain or mixed; signals may be less reliable.
Bollinger Bands Glow (Dynamic Fill):
Neon Red Glow — Warning!: Price is near or breaking above the upper band; momentum is overstretched, watch for overbought conditions or reversals.
Bright Green Glow — Opportunity!: Price is near or breaking below the lower band; market could be oversold, prime for bounce or reversal.
Trend Green Fill — Trending Regime: Fills between bands with green when the market is trending, showing clear momentum.
Gold/Yellow Fill — Range Regime: Fills with gold/aqua in range conditions, showing the market is sideways/oscillating.
Magenta/Red Fill — Volatility Spike: Fills with vivid magenta/red during highly volatile regimes.
Blue Fill — Neutral/Quiet: A soft blue glow for other or uncertain market states.
Moving Averages:
Display: Blue fast EMA (20), red slow EMA (50), 2px.
Purpose: Shows trend direction, with trend_dir requiring ATR-scaled spread.
Dynamic SL/TP Lines:
Display: Pulsing colors (red SL, green TP for Trending; yellow/orange for Range, etc.), 3px, with pulse_alpha for shimmer.
Purpose: Tracks stops/TPs in real-time, color-coded by regime.
6. Dual Dashboards
Two dashboards deliver real-time insights, making the strat a quant command center.
Bottom-Left Metrics Dashboard (2x13):
Metrics: Mode (Active/Paused), trend (Bullish/Bearish/Neutral), ATR, ATR avg, volume spike (YES/NO), RSI (value + Oversold/Overbought/Neutral), HTF RSI, HTF trend, last signal (Buy/Sell/None), regime, bull score.
Display: Black (29% transparent), purple title, color-coded (green for bullish, red for bearish).
Purpose: Consolidates market context and signal strength.
Top-Right Position Dashboard (2x7):
Metrics: Regime, position side (Long/Short/None), position PNL ($), SL, TP, daily PNL ($).
Display: Black (29% transparent), purple title, color-coded (lime for Long, red for Short).
Purpose: Tracks live trades and profitability.
Why It’s Brilliant:
Dual dashboards cover market context and trade status, a rare feature.
Color-coding and concise metrics guide beginners (e.g., green “Buy” = go).
Real-time PNL and SL/TP visibility empower disciplined trading.
7. Performance Tracking
Logic: Arrays (regime_pnl_long/short, regime_win/loss_long/short) track PNL and win/loss by regime (1–5). Updated on trade close (barstate.isconfirmed).
Purpose: Prepares for future adaptive thresholds (e.g., adjust bull_score min based on regime performance).
Why It’s Brilliant: Lays the groundwork for self-optimizing logic, a quant edge over static scripts.
Key Features
Regime-Adaptive: Optimizes signals for Trending, Range, Volatile, Quiet markets.
Futures-Optimized: Precise sizing for ES/MES with tick-based risk inputs.
Multi-Factor Signals: Candlestick patterns, RSI, MACD, and HTF confirmation for robust entries.

Wyckoff Accumulation Distribution Wyckoff Accumulation & Distribution Indicator (RSI-Based)
This Pine Script is a technical analysis indicator built around the Wyckoff Method, designed to detect accumulation and distribution phases using RSI (Relative Strength Index) and pivot points. It automatically marks key structural turning points on the chart and highlights relevant zones with colored boxes.
What Does It Do?
Draws accumulation and distribution boxes based on RSI behavior.
Automatically detects Wyckoff structural signals:
SC (Selling Climax)
AR (Automatic Rally)
ST (Secondary Test)
BC (Buying Climax)
DAR (Automatic Reaction)
DST (Secondary Test - Distribution)
Identifies trend transitions by detecting sideways RSI movement.
Attempts to detect spring and UTAD-like deviations based on RSI reversals.
Uses RSI extremes in conjunction with pivot points to generate Wyckoff signals.
How Does It Work?
RSI Zone: It identifies sideways markets when RSI stays within ±20 of the 50 level (this range is configurable).
Pivot Points: It detects pivot highs/lows that sync with RSI values (pivotLen is adjustable).
Trend Box Drawing:
When RSI exits the sideways zone, the script draws a gray box between the highest high and lowest low within that range.
If RSI breaks upward, the box becomes green (Accumulation); if downward, it becomes red (Distribution).
Wyckoff Structural Points:
SC/BC: Detected when a pivot occurs with RSI below/above a threshold.
AR/DAR: The next opposite pivot after SC or BC.
ST/DST: The next same-direction pivot after AR or DAR.
How to Use It
Works best on 4H or daily charts for more reliable signals. Shorter timeframes may generate noise.
Primarily used for interpreting RSI structures through the lens of Wyckoff methodology.
Box colors help quickly identify market phase:
Green box: Likely Accumulation
Red box: Likely Distribution
Triangular markers show key signals:
SC, AR, ST: Accumulation points
BC, DAR, DST: Distribution points
Use these signals alongside price action to manually interpret Wyckoff phases.

What Is the Wyckoff Method?
The Wyckoff Method, developed in the 1930s by Richard Wyckoff, is a market analysis approach that focuses on supply and demand dynamics behind price movements.
Wyckoff’s 5 Phases:
Accumulation: Smart money gradually buying at low prices.
Markup: Price begins trending upwards.
Distribution: Smart money selling to retail traders.
Markdown: Downtrend begins as supply outweighs demand.
Re-accumulation / Re-distribution: Trend-continuation phases with consolidations.
This indicator is specifically designed to detect phase 1 (Accumulation) and phase 3 (Distribution).
Extra Notes
Repainting is minimal, as pivots are confirmed using historical candles.
Labels use plotshape for a clean, minimalist visual style.
Other Wyckoff events (like SOS, LPS, UT, UTAD) could be added in future updates.
This script does not generate buy/sell signals; it is meant for structural interpretation.
Akkerman IMB + Targets IndicatorAkkerman IMB + Targets Indicator
The Akkerman IMB + Targets Indicator is a powerful tool for traders who use the Smart Money Concept (SMC) methodology for intraday trading. This indicator combines several key elements of technical analysis, such as IMB (Imbalance) zones, liquidity zones, and intraday targets, to help traders identify significant levels on the chart for potential entry and exit points.
Main Features of the Indicator:
IMB (Imbalance) Zones:
The indicator detects IMB zones (imbalances) on the chart, which are often significant for the market because these zones can signal unsupported price moves where the market may either retrace or continue the move.
Green box — indicates a bullish IMB, where the price moves downward but does not reach the previous "low" level.
Red box — indicates a bearish IMB, where the price moves upward but does not reach the previous "high" level.
Liquidity Zones:
The indicator automatically identifies liquidity zones, which are critical levels for potential retracements or breakouts. These zones are determined by equal highs and lows on the chart (where the price has made similar highs or lows).
Triangles or lines highlight levels where significant buy or sell orders might be gathered.
Intraday Target Lines:
The indicator generates targets for intraday trading based on support and resistance levels over the last 10 periods.
These target lines on the chart indicate potential entry or exit points based on the lowest and highest prices over the past 10 bars, which represent key points for trading within the current session.
Indicator Settings:
Show IMB: Toggle to show or hide IMB zones on the chart.
Show Liquidity Zones: Toggle to show or hide liquidity zones on the chart.
Show Targets (Intraday): Toggle to show or hide intraday target lines.
Max Targets (maxTargets): Set the maximum number of targets to display on the chart.
How to Use:
IMB Zones help identify potential retracement or breakout zones on the market. These zones are a critical part of Smart Money analysis, as markets often retrace to these areas after significant price moves.
Liquidity Zones provide clues about where large orders may be gathered, which could lead to a retracement or breakout.
Intraday Targets assist in identifying important levels for entering or exiting trades within the current session to take advantage of short-term price movements.
Important Notes:
This indicator works best on the 1-hour timeframe (H1) for more accurate and stable signals.
For maximum effectiveness, it is recommended to combine this indicator with other technical indicators and analysis methods.
ICT Turtle Soup (Liquidity Reversal)ICT Turtle Soup — Liquidity Reversal Detection
Trap the Trap: A Precision Reversal Strategy from the Inner Circle Trader Playbook
This indicator implements the Turtle Soup liquidity reversal setup — a widely used ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concept that targets false breakouts beyond recent swing highs or lows. These patterns typically occur when price grabs liquidity above or below a known level, then snaps back, trapping retail traders and creating a high-probability reversal scenario.
🔍 What This Script Does:
Detects Liquidity Sweeps Above/Below Key Swing Levels
Uses a customizable swing lookback to identify recent swing highs and lows.
Triggers a Bearish Turtle Soup when price runs above a previous swing high and closes back below.
Triggers a Bullish Turtle Soup when price sweeps below a prior swing low and closes back above.
Plots Clear Visual Signals
Reversal signals appear as 🐢🔻 (Bearish) or 🐢🔺 (Bullish) markers directly on your chart.
Optional labels can be enabled for enhanced journaling and review.
Real-Time Alerts
Receive alert notifications when a Turtle Soup setup is detected — ideal for scalpers or intraday traders watching for reversals around liquidity pools.
⚙️ Customization Options:
Set the swing lookback sensitivity (default: 5)
Enable or disable labels
Choose label font size
Customize colors for bullish and bearish signals
💡 How to Use:
Deploy on intraday timeframes (e.g. 5m–15m) for high-resolution liquidity analysis.
Watch for signals at key highs/lows, session extremes, or zones where liquidity is likely resting.
Combine with tools like FVGs, Order Blocks, and OTE zones for layered confirmation.
🔗 Combine With These Tools for a Complete SMC Edge:
✅ First FVG — Opening Range Fair Value Gap Detector
✅ ICT SMC Liquidity Grabs + OB + Fibonacci OTE Levels
✅ Liquidity Levels — Smart Swing Lows
Together, these tools form a high-precision Smart Money toolkit — helping traders map, anticipate, and act on institutional-level liquidity events with clarity and confidence.
First FVG Custom Time RangeFirst FVG — Opening Range Fair Value Gap Detector
Smart Money Opening Imbalance Strategy Tool
This script automatically detects and highlights the first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms between 9:30 and 10:00 AM Eastern Time (New York session open) — a critical period often referred to as the Opening Range. It’s designed for Smart Money traders looking to isolate early-morning inefficiencies that may influence market behavior throughout the trading day.
🔍 What This Script Does:
Automatically Detects the First FVG in the Opening Range
Scans price action between 9:30 and 10:00 AM ET and identifies the first valid bullish or bearish FVG that forms.
Only one FVG is shown per day — ensuring a clean, focused view.
Draws a Visual Zone
Once detected, the FVG zone is extended forward on the chart (customizable duration).
A labeled zone helps users track how price reacts to it throughout the session.
Optional Retest Alerts
Alerts you when price re-enters the zone — a potential reaction point used by SMC traders.
Customization Options
Set your preferred session time window
Adjust zone duration (in bars)
Customize label font size, colors, and visibility
Enable/disable alert on retest
📈 Why the First FVG Matters:
Time-Sensitive Setup: The first FVG typically forms no earlier than 9:31 AM ET and represents a potential “time distortion” or imbalance zone created by aggressive market participants during the open.
Behavioral Study: Many traders journal how price behaves around this zone each day — whether it acts as support, resistance, or gets traded through later in the session.
Predictive Value: Observing how this zone is respected or broken can provide anticipatory insight into intraday price action, rather than reactive analysis.
Great for New Traders: This opening FVG is often recommended as a starting reference point for building trade models and understanding how institutional imbalances unfold.
🚀 What Makes It Unique:
This tool doesn’t spam your chart with every FVG. It laser-focuses on a single, time-bound zone backed by institutional logic — the first presented imbalance of the day during the opening range.
Use it to:
Monitor price behavior around early inefficiencies
Plan journal entries and pattern recognition
Align intraday setups with a high-probability SMC model
Whether you’re scalping, journaling market structure, or refining entries based on liquidity behavior — this script helps you make the first 30 minutes count.

This indicator is fully customizable, allowing users to adjust lookback periods, colors, opacity, and sensitivity to suit their trading style.
Key Components and Functionality
1. Key Levels (Support and Resistance)
This section plots horizontal lines representing support and resistance levels based on highs and lows over three distinct lookback periods, plus daily nearest levels.
Short-Term Lookback Period (Default: 20 bars)
Plots the highest high (short_high) and lowest low (short_low) over the specified period.
Visualized as dotted lines with customizable colors (Short-Term Resistance Color, Short-Term Support Color) and opacity (Short-Term Resistance Opacity, Short-Term Support Opacity).
Adjustment Tip: Increase the lookback (e.g., to 30-50) for less frequent but stronger levels on higher timeframes, or decrease (e.g., to 10-15) for scalping on lower timeframes.
Long-Term Lookback Period (Default: 50 bars)
Plots broader support (long_low) and resistance (long_high) levels using a solid line style.
Customizable via Long-Term Resistance Color, Long-Term Support Color, and their respective opacity settings.
Adjustment Tip: Extend to 100-200 bars for swing trading or major trend analysis on daily/weekly charts.
Extra-Long Lookback Period (Default: 100 bars)
Identifies significant historical highs (extra_long_high) and lows (extra_long_low) with dashed lines.
Configurable with Extra-Long Resistance Color, Extra-Long Support Color, and opacity settings.
Adjustment Tip: Use 200-500 bars for monthly charts to capture macro-level key zones.
Daily Nearest Resistance and Support Levels
Dynamically calculates the nearest resistance (daily_res_level) and support (daily_sup_level) based on the current day’s price action relative to historical highs and lows.
Displayed with Daily Resistance Color and Daily Support Color (with opacity options).
Adjustment Tip: Works best on intraday charts (e.g., 15m, 1h) to track daily pivots; combine with volume profile for confirmation.
How It Works: These levels update dynamically as new highs/lows form, providing a visual guide to potential reversal or breakout zones.
2. SMC Inputs (Smart Money Concepts)
This section identifies swing structures, order blocks, fair value gaps, and entry signals based on SMC principles.
SMC Swing Lookback Period (Default: 12 bars)
Defines the period for detecting swing highs (smc_swing_high) and lows (smc_swing_low).
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 20-30 for smoother swings on higher timeframes; reduce to 5-10 for faster signals on lower timeframes.
Minimum Swing Size (%) (Default: 0.5%)
Filters out minor price movements to focus on significant swings.
Adjustment Tip: Raise to 1-2% for volatile markets (e.g., crypto) to avoid noise; lower to 0.2-0.3% for forex pairs with tight ranges.
Order Block Sensitivity (Default: 1.0)
Scales the size of detected order blocks (OBs) for bullish reversal (smc_ob_bull), bearish reversal (smc_ob_bear), and continuation (smc_cont_ob).
Visuals include customizable colors, opacity, border thickness, and blinking effects (e.g., SMC Bullish Reversal OB Color, SMC Bearish Reversal OB Blink Thickness).
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 1.5-2.0 for wider OBs in choppy markets; keep at 1.0 for precision in trending conditions.
Minimum FVG Size (%) (Default: 0.3%)
Sets the minimum gap size for Fair Value Gaps (fvg_high, fvg_low), displayed as boxes with Fair Value Gap Color and FVG Opacity.
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 0.5-1% for larger, more reliable gaps; decrease to 0.1-0.2% for scalping smaller inefficiencies.
How It Works:
Bullish Reversal OB: Detects a bearish candle followed by a bullish break, marking a potential demand zone.
Bearish Reversal OB: Identifies a bullish candle followed by a bearish break, marking a supply zone.
Continuation OB: Spots strong bullish momentum after a prior high, indicating a continuation zone.
FVG: Highlights bullish gaps where price may retrace to fill.
Entry Signals: Plots triangles (SMC Long Entry) when price retests an OB with a liquidity sweep or break of structure (BOS).
3. Trap Inputs
This section detects potential bull and bear traps based on price action, volume, and key level rejections.
Min Down Move for Bear Trap (%) (Default: 1.0%)
Sets the minimum drop required after a bearish OB to qualify as a trap.
Visualized with Bear Trap Color, Bear Trap Opacity, and blinking borders.
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 2-3% for stronger traps in trending markets; lower to 0.5% for ranging conditions.
Min Up Move for Bull Trap (%) (Default: 1.0%)
Sets the minimum rise required after a bullish OB to flag a trap.
Customizable with Bull Trap Color, Bull Trap Border Thickness, etc.
Adjustment Tip: Adjust similarly to bear traps based on market volatility.
Volume Lookback for Traps (Default: 5 bars)
Compares current volume to a moving average (avg_volume) to filter low-volume traps.
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 10-20 for confirmation on higher timeframes; reduce to 3 for intraday sensitivity.
How It Works:
Bear Trap: Triggers when price drops significantly after a bearish OB but reverses up with low volume or support rejection.
Bull Trap: Activates when price rises after a bullish OB but fails with low volume or resistance rejection.
Boxes highlight trap zones, resetting when price breaks out.
4. Visual Customization
Line Width (Default: 2)
Adjusts thickness of support/resistance lines.
Tip: Increase to 3-4 for visibility on cluttered charts.
Blink On (Default: Close)
Sets whether OB/FVG borders blink based on Open or Close price interaction.
Tip: Use "Open" for intraday precision; "Close" for confirmed reactions.
Colors and Opacity: Each element (OBs, FVGs, traps, key levels) has customizable colors, opacity (0-100), border thickness (1-5 or 1-7), and blink effects for dynamic visualization.
How to Use SMC+
Setup: Apply the indicator to any chart and adjust inputs based on your timeframe and market.
Key Levels: Watch for price reactions at short, long, extra-long, or daily levels for potential reversals or breakouts.
SMC Signals: Look for entry signals (triangles) near OBs or FVGs, confirmed by liquidity sweeps or BOS.
Traps: Avoid false breakouts by monitoring trap boxes, especially near key levels with low volume.
Notes:
This indicator is a visual aid and does not guarantee trading success. Combine it with other analysis tools and risk management strategies.
Performance may vary across markets and timeframes; test settings thoroughly before use.
For optimal results, experiment with lookback periods and sensitivity settings to match your trading style.
The default settings are optimal for 1 minute and 10 second time frames for small cap low float stocks.
Continuation OB are Blue.
Bullish Reversal OB color is Green
Bearish Reversal OB color is Red
FVG color is purple
Bear Trap OB is red with a green border and often appears with a Bearish Reversal OB signaling caution to a short position.
Bull trap OB is green with a Red border signaling caution to a long position.
All active OB area are highlighted and solid in color while other non active OB area are dimmed.
My personal favorite setups are when we have an active bullish reversal with an active FVG along with an active Continuation OB.
Another personal favorite is the Bearish reversal OB signaling an end to a recent uptrend.
The Trap OB detection are also a unique and Original helpful source of information.
The OB have a white boarder by default that are colored black giving a simulated blinking effect when price is acting in that zone.
The Trap OB border are colored with respect to direction of intended trap, all of which can be customized to personal style.
All vaild OB zones are shown compact in size ,a unique and original view until its no longer valid.

FunkyQuokka's $ Volume💡 Why $ Volume Matters
Share volume alone is a half-truth — 1M shares traded at $5 isn’t the same as 1M shares at $500. That’s where dollar volume steps in, offering a far more accurate view of institutional interest, breakout validity, liquidity zones and overall trader conviction.
📈 Features:
Clean histogram of dollar volume (close × volume)
Orange line showing customizable average $ volume
K/M/B formatting for axis scale (no huge ugly numbers)
Minimal design to blend into a multi-pane layout

02 SMC + BB Breakout (Improved)This strategy combines Smart Money Concepts (SMC) with Bollinger Band breakouts to identify potential trading opportunities. SMC focuses on identifying key price levels and market structure shifts, while Bollinger Bands help pinpoint overbought/oversold conditions and potential breakout points. The strategy also incorporates higher timeframe trend confirmation to filter out trades that go against the prevailing trend.
Key Components:
Bollinger Bands:
Calculated using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the closing price and a standard deviation multiplier.
The strategy uses the upper and lower bands to identify potential breakout points.
The SMA (basis) acts as a centerline and potential support/resistance level.
The fill between the upper and lower bands can be toggled by the user.
Higher Timeframe Trend Confirmation:
The strategy allows for optional confirmation of the current trend using a higher timeframe (e.g., daily).
It calculates the SMA of the higher timeframe's closing prices.
A bullish trend is confirmed if the higher timeframe's closing price is above its SMA.
This helps filter out trades that go against the prevailing long-term trend.
Smart Money Concepts (SMC):
Order Blocks:
Simplified as recent price clusters, identified by the highest high and lowest low over a specified lookback period.
These levels are considered potential areas of support or resistance.
Liquidity Zones (Swing Highs/Lows):
Identified by recent swing highs and lows, indicating areas where liquidity may be present.
The Swing highs and lows are calculated based on user defined lookback periods.
Market Structure Shift (MSS):
Identifies potential changes in market structure.
A bullish MSS occurs when the closing price breaks above a previous swing high.
A bearish MSS occurs when the closing price breaks below a previous swing low.
The swing high and low values used for the MSS are calculated based on the user defined swing length.
Entry Conditions:
Long Entry:
The closing price crosses above the upper Bollinger Band.
If higher timeframe confirmation is enabled, the higher timeframe trend must be bullish.
A bullish MSS must have occurred.
Short Entry:
The closing price crosses below the lower Bollinger Band.
If higher timeframe confirmation is enabled, the higher timeframe trend must be bearish.
A bearish MSS must have occurred.
Exit Conditions:
Long Exit:
The closing price crosses below the Bollinger Band basis.
Or the Closing price falls below 99% of the order block low.
Short Exit:
The closing price crosses above the Bollinger Band basis.
Or the closing price rises above 101% of the order block high.
Position Sizing:
The strategy calculates the position size based on a fixed percentage (5%) of the strategy's equity.
This helps manage risk by limiting the potential loss per trade.
Visualizations:
Bollinger Bands (upper, lower, and basis) are plotted on the chart.
SMC elements (order blocks, swing highs/lows) are plotted as lines, with user-adjustable visibility.
Entry and exit signals are plotted as shapes on the chart.
The Bollinger band fill opacity is adjustable by the user.
Trading Logic:
The strategy aims to capitalize on Bollinger Band breakouts that are confirmed by SMC signals and higher timeframe trend. It looks for breakouts that align with potential market structure shifts and key price levels (order blocks, swing highs/lows). The higher timeframe filter helps avoid trades that go against the overall trend.
In essence, the strategy attempts to identify high-probability breakout trades by combining momentum (Bollinger Bands) with structural analysis (SMC) and trend confirmation.
Key User-Adjustable Parameters:
Bollinger Bands Length
Standard Deviation Multiplier
Higher Timeframe
Higher Timeframe Confirmation (on/off)
SMC Elements Visibility (on/off)
Order block lookback length.
Swing lookback length.
Bollinger band fill opacity.

Pivot S/R with Volatility Filter## *📌 Indicator Purpose*
This indicator identifies *key support/resistance levels* using pivot points while also:
✅ Detecting *high-volume liquidity traps* (stop hunts)
✅ Filtering insignificant pivots via *ATR (Average True Range) volatility*
✅ Tracking *test counts and breakouts* to measure level strength
---
## *⚙ SETTINGS – Detailed Breakdown*
### *1️⃣ ◆ General Settings*
#### *🔹 Pivot Length*
- *Purpose:* Determines how many bars to analyze when identifying pivots.
- *Usage:*
- *Low values (5-20):* More pivots, better for scalping.
- *High values (50-200):* Fewer but stronger levels for swing trading.
- *Example:*
- Pivot Length = 50 → Only the most significant highs/lows over 50 bars are marked.
#### *🔹 Test Threshold (Max Test Count)*
- *Purpose:* Sets how many times a level can be tested before being invalidated.
- *Example:*
- Test Threshold = 3 → After 3 tests, the level is ignored (likely to break).
#### *🔹 Zone Range*
- *Purpose:* Creates a price buffer around pivots (±0.001 by default).
- *Why?* Markets often respect "zones" rather than exact prices.
---
### *2️⃣ ◆ Volatility Filter (ATR)*
#### *🔹 ATR Period*
- *Purpose:* Smoothing period for Average True Range calculation.
- *Default:* 14 (standard for volatility measurement).
#### *🔹 ATR Multiplier (Min Move)*
- *Purpose:* Requires pivots to show *meaningful price movement*.
- *Formula:* Min Move = ATR × Multiplier
- *Example:*
- ATR = 10 pips, Multiplier = 1.5 → Only pivots with *15+ pip swings* are valid.
#### *🔹 Show ATR Filter Info*
- Displays current ATR and minimum move requirements on the chart.
---
### *3️⃣ ◆ Volume Analysis*
#### *🔹 Volume Change Threshold (%)*
- *Purpose:* Filters for *unusual volume spikes* (institutional activity).
- *Example:*
- Threshold = 1.2 → Requires *120% of average volume* to confirm signals.
#### *🔹 Volume MA Period*
- *Purpose:* Lookback period for "normal" volume calculation.
---
### *4️⃣ ◆ Wick Analysis*
#### *🔹 Wick Length Threshold (Ratio)*
- *Purpose:* Ensures rejection candles have *long wicks* (strong reversals).
- *Formula:* Wick Ratio = (Upper Wick + Lower Wick) / Candle Range
- *Example:*
- Threshold = 0.6 → 60% of the candle must be wicks.
#### *🔹 Min Wick Size (ATR %)*
- *Purpose:* Filters out small wicks in volatile markets.
- *Example:*
- ATR = 20 pips, MinWickSize = 1% → Wicks under *0.2 pips* are ignored.
---
### *5️⃣ ◆ Display Settings*
- *Show Zones:* Toggles support/resistance shaded areas.
- *Show Traps:* Highlights liquidity traps (▲/▼ symbols).
- *Show Tests:* Displays how many times levels were tested.
- *Zone Transparency:* Adjusts opacity of zones.
---
## *🎯 Practical Use Cases*
### *1️⃣ Liquidity Trap Detection*
- *Scenario:* Price spikes *above resistance* then reverses sharply.
- *Requirements:*
- Long wick (Wick Ratio > 0.6)
- High volume (Volume > Threshold)
- *Outcome:* *Short Trap* signal (▼) appears.
### *2️⃣ Strong Support Level*
- *Scenario:* Price bounces *3 times* from the same level.
- *Indicator Action:*
- Labels the level with test count (3/5 = 3 tests out of max 5).
- Turns *red* if broken (Break Count > 0).
Deep Dive: How This Indicator Works*
This indicator combines *four professional trading concepts* into one powerful tool:
1. *Classic Pivot Point Theory*
- Identifies swing highs/lows where price previously reversed
- Unlike basic pivot indicators, ours uses *confirmed pivots only* (filtered by ATR)
2. *Volume-Weighted Validation*
- Requires unusual trading volume to confirm levels
- Filters out "phantom" levels with low participation
3. *ATR Volatility Filtering*
- Eliminates insignificant price swings in choppy markets
- Ensures only meaningful levels are plotted
4. *Liquidity Trap Detection*
- Spots institutional stop hunts where markets fake out traders
- Uses wick analysis + volume spikes for high-probability signals

## *📊 Parameter Encyclopedia (Expanded)*
### *1️⃣ Pivot Engine Settings*
#### *Pivot Length (50)*
- *What It Does:*
Determines how many bars to analyze when searching for swing highs/lows.
- *Professional Adjustment Guide:*
| Trading Style | Recommended Value | Why? |
|--------------|------------------|------|
| Scalping | 10-20 | Captures short-term levels |
| Day Trading | 30-50 | Balanced approach |
| Swing Trading| 50-200 | Focuses on major levels |
- *Real Market Example:*
On NASDAQ 5-minute chart:
- Length=20: Identifies levels holding for ~2 hours
- Length=50: Finds levels respected for entire trading day
#### *Test Threshold (5)*
- *Advanced Insight:*
Institutions often test levels 3-5 times before breaking them. This setting mimics the "probe and push" strategy used by smart money.
- *Psychology Behind It:*
Retail traders typically give up after 2-3 tests, while institutions keep testing until stops are run.
---
### *2️⃣ Volatility Filter System*
#### *ATR Multiplier (1.0)*
- *Professional Formula:*
Minimum Valid Swing = ATR(14) × Multiplier
- *Market-Specific Recommendations:*
| Market Type | Optimal Multiplier |
|------------------|--------------------|
| Forex Majors | 0.8-1.2 |
| Crypto (BTC/ETH) | 1.5-2.5 |
| SP500 Stocks | 1.0-1.5 |
- *Why It Matters:*
In EUR/USD (ATR=10 pips):
- Multiplier=1.0 → Requires 10 pip swings
- Multiplier=1.5 → Requires 15 pip swings (fewer but higher quality levels)
---
### *3️⃣ Volume Confirmation System*
#### *Volume Threshold (1.2)*
- *Institutional Benchmark:*
- 1.2x = Moderate institutional interest
- 1.5x+ = Strong smart money activity
- *Volume Spike Case Study:*
*Before Apple Earnings:*
- Normal volume: 2M shares
- Spike threshold (1.2): 2.4M shares
- Actual volume: 3.1M shares → STRONG confirmation
---
### *4️⃣ Liquidity Trap Detection*
#### *Wick Analysis System*
- *Two-Filter Verification:*
1. *Wick Ratio (0.6):*
- Ensures majority of candle shows rejection
- Formula: (UpperWick + LowerWick) / Total Range > 0.6
2. *Min Wick Size (1% ATR):*
- Prevents false signals in flat markets
- Example: ATR=20 pips → Min wick=0.2 pips
- *Trap Identification Flowchart:*
Price Enters Zone →
Spikes Beyond Level →
Shows Long Wick →
Volume > Threshold →
TRAP CONFIRMED
---
## *💡 Master-Level Usage Techniques*
### *Institutional Order Flow Analysis*
1. *Step 1:* Identify pivot levels with ≥3 tests
2. *Step 2:* Watch for volume contraction near levels
3. *Step 3:* Enter when trap signal appears with:
- Wick > 2×ATR
- Volume > 1.5× average
### *Multi-Timeframe Confirmation*
1. *Higher TF:* Find weekly/monthly pivots
2. *Lower TF:* Use this indicator for precise entries
3. *Example:*
- Weekly pivot at $180
- 4H shows liquidity trap → High-probability reversal
---
## *⚠ Critical Mistakes to Avoid*
1. *Using Default Settings Everywhere*
- Crude oil needs higher ATR multiplier than bonds
2. *Ignoring Trap Context*
- Traps work best at:
- All-time highs/lows
- Major psychological numbers (00/50 levels)
3. *Overlooking Cumulative Volume*
- Check if volume is building over multiple tests
VSA Vol Key VSA Signals
(1) No Demand – Bearish Signal
Low volume, narrow spread.
Price rises, but volume does not increase → Weak market, lack of buyers.
If this appears in an uptrend, it may indicate a potential reversal.
(2) No Supply – Bullish Signal
Low volume, narrow spread.
Price declines, but volume does not increase → Weak selling pressure.
If this appears in an uptrend, it may confirm the continuation of the uptrend.
(3) Stopping Volume – Bullish Reversal Signal
Strong price decline, but unusually high volume.
Candle shows a long lower wick, closing near the top.
Indicates Smart Money absorbing supply, signaling a potential reversal upwards.
(4) Climactic Volume – Possible Trend Reversal
Extremely high volume with a sharp price increase or decrease.
If this occurs after a long trend, it may indicate a trend reversal.
Smart Money may be taking profits after a prolonged price movement.
(5) Effort vs. Result
If volume is high but price movement is weak → Inefficient buying/selling, possible reversal.
If volume is high and price moves strongly in the same direction → Trend is likely to continue.
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.

- **K**: Determines how smooth the main stochastic line is. Lower values (1-3) react quickly, higher values (3-9) are smoother.
- **D**: Controls the smoothness of the signal line. Usually kept equal to or slightly higher than K.
- **Period**: How many candles are used to calculate the stochastic. Standard is 14 days, lower for faster signals.
- **For beginners**: Start with the defaults (K:3, D:3, Period:14) until you understand how they work.
🔸 Second Stochastic (K2, D2, Period2)
- **What it does**: Creates a second, independent stochastic for stronger confirmation.
- **How to use**: Can be set identical to the first one, or with slightly different values for dual confirmation.
- **For beginners**: Start with the same values as the first stochastic, then experiment.
🔸 RSI Length
- **What it does**: Controls the period for the RSI calculation, which measures buying/selling pressure.
- **Lower values** (7-9): More sensitive, good for short-term trading
- **Higher values** (14-21): More stable, better for swing trading
- **For beginners**: The default of 11 is a good balance between speed and reliability.
🔸 Cross Level
- **What it does**: The centerline where crosses generate signals (default is 50).
- **Traditional levels**: Stochastics typically use 20/80, but 50 works well for this combined indicator.
- **For beginners**: Keep at 50 to focus on trend following strategies.
🔸 Source
- **What it does**: Determines which price data is used for calculations.
- **Common options**:
- Close: Most common and reliable
- Open: Less common
- High/Low: Used for specialized indicators
- **For beginners**: Stick with "close" as it's most commonly used and reliable.
🎨 Visual Theme Settings
🔸 Bullish/Bearish Main
- **What it does**: Sets the overall color scheme for bullish (up) and bearish (down) movements.
- **For beginners**: Green for bullish and red for bearish is intuitive, but choose any colors that are easy for you to distinguish.
🔸 Bullish/Bearish Entry
- **What it does**: Colors for the entry signals shown directly on the chart.
- **For beginners**: Use bright, attention-grabbing colors that stand out from your chart background.
🌈 Line Colors
🔸 K1, K2, RSI (Bullish/Bearish)
- **What it does**: Controls the colors of each indicator line based on market direction.
- **For beginners**: Use different colors for each line so you can quickly identify which line is which.
⏱️ HTF (Higher Timeframe) Settings
🔸 HTF Timeframe
- **What it does**: Sets which higher timeframe to use for filtering (e.g., 240 = 4 hour chart).
- **How to choose**: Should be at least 4x your current chart timeframe (e.g., if trading on 15min, use 60min or higher).
- **For beginners**: Start with a timeframe 4x higher than your trading chart.
🔸 Use HTF Filter
- **What it does**: Toggles whether the higher timeframe filter is applied or not.
- **For beginners**: Keep enabled to reduce false signals, especially when learning.
🔸 HTF Confirmation Bars
- **What it does**: How many bars must confirm a trend change on higher timeframe.
- **Higher values**: More reliable but slower to react
- **Lower values**: Faster signals but more false positives
- **For beginners**: Start with 2-3 bars for a good balance.
📈 EMA Settings
🔸 Use EMA Filter
- **What it does**: Toggles price filtering with an Exponential Moving Average.
- **For beginners**: Keep enabled for better trend confirmation.
🔸 EMA Period
- **What it does**: Length of the EMA for filtering (shorter = faster reactions).
- **Common values**:
- 5-13: Short-term trends
- 21-50: Medium-term trends
- 100-200: Long-term trends
- **For beginners**: 5-10 is good for short-term trading, 21 for swing trading.
🔸 EMA Offset
- **What it does**: Shifts the EMA forward or backward on the chart.
- **For beginners**: Start with 0 and adjust only if needed for visual clarity.
🔸 Show EMA on Chart
- **What it does**: Toggles whether the EMA appears on your main price chart.
- **For beginners**: Keep enabled to see how price relates to the EMA.
🔸 EMA Color, Style, Width, Transparency
- **What it does**: Customizes how the EMA line looks on your chart.
- **For beginners**: Choose settings that make the EMA visible but not distracting.
🌊 Trend Filter Settings
🔸 Use EMA Trend Filter
- **What it does**: Enables a multi-EMA system that defines the overall market trend.
- **For beginners**: Keep enabled for stronger trend confirmation.
🔸 Show Trend EMAs
- **What it does**: Toggles visibility of the trend EMAs on your chart.
- **For beginners**: Enable to see how price moves relative to multiple EMAs.
🔸 EMA Line Thickness
- **What it does**: Controls how the thickness of EMA lines is determined.
- **Options**:
- Uniform: All EMAs have the same thickness
- Variable: Each EMA has its own custom thickness
- Hierarchical: Automatically sized based on period (longer periods = thicker)
- **For beginners**: "Hierarchical" is most intuitive as longer-term EMAs appear more dominant.
🔸 EMA Line Style
- **What it does**: Sets the line style (solid, dotted, dashed) for all EMAs.
- **For beginners**: "Solid" is usually clearest unless you have many lines overlapping.
🎭 Trend Filter Colors/Width
🔸 EMA Colors (8, 21, 34, 55)
- **What it does**: Sets the color for each individual trend EMA.
- **For beginners**: Use a logical progression (e.g., shorter EMAs brighter, longer EMAs darker).
🔸 EMA Width Settings
- **What it does**: Controls the thickness of each EMA line.
- **For beginners**: Thicker lines for longer EMAs make them easier to distinguish.
🔔 How These Parameters Work Together
The power of this indicator comes from how these components interact:
1. **Base Oscillator**: The stochastic and RSI components create the main oscillator
2. **HTF Filter**: The higher timeframe filter prevents trading against larger trends
3. **EMA Filter**: The EMA filter confirms signals with price action
4. **Trend System**: The multi-EMA system identifies the overall market environment
Think of it as multiple layers of confirmation, each adding more reliability to your trading signals.
💡 Tips for Beginners
1. **Start with defaults**: Use the default settings first and understand what each element does
2. **One change at a time**: When customizing, change only one parameter at a time
3. **Keep notes**: Write down how each change affects your results
4. **Backtest thoroughly**: Test any changes on historical data before trading real money
5. **Less is more**: Sometimes simpler settings work better than complicated ones
Remember, no indicator is perfect - always combine this with proper risk management and other forms of analysis!
