SFP SCANNERV2==============================
📌 SFP SCANNER — QUICK GUIDE (EN)
==============================
🎯 Goal
Automatically scan Swing Failure Patterns (SFPs) on pivot-based support and resistance levels, using a multi-timeframe, structural and filterable approach.
👉 This indicator is designed to be mainly used with alerts on watchlists.
The more permissive the filters are, the more signals (and noise) you will get.
--------------------------------------------------
🧱 1) Pivot Levels — Pivot Timeframe
--------------------------------------------------
Levels are built using classic pivots.
Settings:
• Pivot timeframe: timeframe used to compute pivots (e.g. 4H)
• Pivot source:
- Wicks = highs / lows
- Closes = closing prices
• Left / Right: number of bars required to validate a pivot
➡️ A pivot is confirmed only after “Right” bars.
👉 Recommendation: minimum 15 / 15 on H4.
--------------------------------------------------
🎨 Level Display
--------------------------------------------------
• Pivot High → resistances
• Pivot Low → supports
• Colors, width and style are visual-only settings
--------------------------------------------------
📍 2) SFP Detection — Counting Timeframe
--------------------------------------------------
SFPs are detected on the “Counting timeframe”, regardless of the chart timeframe.
Bearish SFP (resistance):
1) Close above the level (breakout)
2) Close back below the level (reclaim)
3) Breakout duration must respect:
- Min bars breakout
- Max bars breakout
(counted in counting timeframe bars)
Bullish SFP (support):
Mirrored logic:
1) Break below
2) Reclaim above
3) Min / Max bars respected
--------------------------------------------------
🧠 3) Trend Filter — Moving Averages (optional)
--------------------------------------------------
If enabled:
• MA50 > MA200 → only Bullish SFPs allowed
• MA50 < MA200 → only Bearish SFPs allowed
Settings:
• MA timeframe:
- Blank = counting timeframe
- Recommended: pivot timeframe
• MA type: SMA or EMA
• Fast / Slow MA: default 50 / 200
--------------------------------------------------
🧱 4) Structural Support / Resistance Filter
--------------------------------------------------
This filter is independent from the MA filter.
Structure pivots count (N):
• Number of consecutive supports / resistances used to validate structure.
Checkbox logic (restrictive):
👉 If no checkbox is selected → all SFPs are allowed.
Bullish SFPs allowed if:
• Supports are rising
• Resistances are rising
Bearish SFPs allowed if:
• Resistances are falling
• Supports are falling
➡️ Each checkbox acts as an independent restriction.
At least one selected condition must be true to allow the SFP.
--------------------------------------------------
🛑 5) Anti-spam
--------------------------------------------------
• One-shot per level
➡️ Once triggered, the level is considered consumed.
--------------------------------------------------
🔎 6) Levels to Scan
--------------------------------------------------
• Number of recent pivot levels (supports + resistances) checked for SFP detection.
--------------------------------------------------
🕒 7) Multi-timeframe Display
--------------------------------------------------
Regardless of the chart timeframe:
• Chart > Counting timeframe:
A lower-timeframe SFP is displayed on the higher-timeframe candle.
• Chart = Counting timeframe:
The SFP appears directly on the candle at close.
• Chart < Counting timeframe:
The signal is displayed at the opening of the next counting timeframe candle.
--------------------------------------------------
🔔 TradingView Alerts
--------------------------------------------------
• Bullish SFP
• Bearish SFP
--------------------------------------------------
⚙️ Suggested Settings (Day trading / 1–2 day swing)
--------------------------------------------------
• Pivot timeframe: 4H
• Counting timeframe: 15m (or 5m for more signals)
• Levels to scan: 1 to 2
• Structure pivots count (N): 2 to 3
• Min bars breakout: 2 to 3
• Max bars breakout: 5 to 10
✅ Happy scanning and good trades! 😄
Multitimeframe
Daytrading Suite v6.4: Neon TPO + FVG + IB Lines (Stable)Here is the complete **Trading Manual & Strategy Guide** for the **Master Daytrading Suite (Neon + IB Edition)**.
This guide explains exactly **when** to trade and **how** to execute trades using the tools in the script.
---
# 📘 MASTER TRADING MANUAL (Neon + IB)
### 1. THE BASICS
* **Best Assets:** BTCUSDT & ETHUSDT (Futures).
* **Best Timeframe:** 5 Minutes (Entry) / 15 Minutes (Trend).
* **Key Session:** New York Session (High Volatility).
* **Golden Rule:** Never go **LONG** inside a Red Supply Zone. Never go **SHORT** inside a Green Demand Zone.
---
### 2. THE INDICATORS (Legend)
| Indicator | Color | Function | How to use |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Supply Zone** | 🟥 **Red Box** | Resistance | Look for Short setups here. |
| **Demand Zone** | 🟩 **Green Box** | Support | Look for Long setups here. |
| **Golden Pocket** | 🟧 **Orange** | Retracement | The "Sweet Spot" for trend entries (Fib 0.618). |
| **VWAP** | 🔵 **Blue Line** | Trend Anchor | Price > VWAP = Bullish. Price < VWAP = Bearish. |
| **Initial Balance (IB)** | 🟨 **Yellow Box** | Opening Range | Breakout above = Bullish. Breakdown below = Bearish. |
| **FVG (Gap)** | 🟩/🟥 **Tiny Box** | Trigger | **Green FVG** = Entry Signal for Longs. **Red FVG** = Entry Signal for Shorts. |
---
### 3. STRATEGY A: The Trend Pullback (High Win Rate)
*Use this when the market is trending smoothly.*
#### ✅ HOW TO ENTER A LONG (BUY) POSITION
1. **Trend Check:** Price is trading **ABOVE** the VWAP (Blue Line) and EMA 9 (Yellow Line).
2. **The Wait:** Wait for the price to drop back down (pullback).
3. **The Zone:** Price touches the **Green Demand Zone** OR the **Orange Golden Pocket**.
4. **The Trigger:** A **Green FVG Box** appears on the 5-minute chart.
5. **Execution:** Enter Long. Stop Loss below the recent low. Take Profit at the next Red Zone.
#### 🔻 HOW TO ENTER A SHORT (SELL) POSITION
1. **Trend Check:** Price is trading **BELOW** the VWAP (Blue Line) and EMA 9 (Yellow Line).
2. **The Wait:** Wait for the price to rally up (pullback).
3. **The Zone:** Price touches the **Red Supply Zone** OR the **Orange Golden Pocket**.
4. **The Trigger:** A **Red FVG Box** appears on the 5-minute chart.
5. **Execution:** Enter Short. Stop Loss above the recent high. Take Profit at the next Green Zone.
---
### 4. STRATEGY B: The IB Breakout (Volatility)
*Use this specifically after the first hour of the New York Session (approx. 10:30 NY time).*
* **The Setup:** Look at the **Yellow Box (Initial Balance)** which marks the high/low of the first hour.
* **Bullish Breakout:** If a candle closes **above** the Yellow Box + Price is above VWAP → **Go Long**.
* **Bearish Breakdown:** If a candle closes **below** the Yellow Box + Price is below VWAP → **Go Short**.
* **The Trap (Fakeout):** If price breaks out but immediately falls back inside the Yellow Box, close the trade immediately.
---
### 5. DAILY ROUTINE (Checklist)
1. **Open TradingView:** Switch to the **15m Chart**.
2. **Check Context:** Where are we? Are we near a big Red Box (Supply) or Green Box (Demand)?
3. **Check Trend:** Is price above or below the Blue VWAP line?
4. **Wait for the Open:** Let the first hour of New York pass (to form the Yellow IB Box).
5. **Set Alerts:** Right-click the chart and set alerts for "IB Breakout" or "Golden Pocket".
6. **Execute:** Switch to the **5m Chart** to find your entry trigger (FVG).
---
### 6. RISK MANAGEMENT RULES
* **Stop Loss:** NEVER trade without one. Place it just outside the FVG box or the Zone.
* **Risk per Trade:** 1% to 2% of your account maximum.
* **No Trade Zone:** If the price is "chopping" (moving sideways) inside the Yellow IB Box, **do not trade**. Wait for a breakout.
Structure + Fib % Entry v2**Structure + Fib % Entry (HH / HL / LH / LL)**
This indicator visualizes market structure and Fibonacci-based execution levels in a clear and objective way. It is built for traders who use structure and pullbacks to plan entries and manage risk.
Market structure is identified using confirmed swing highs and lows, labeled as HH, HL, LH, and LL. Swings are confirmed only after a user-defined number of candles, which helps reduce noise and false signals.
A break of structure occurs when price closes beyond the last confirmed swing. After a break, the indicator tracks the impulse leg and calculates a dynamic Fibonacci-based entry level. Users can choose between fib level mode or pullback percentage mode.
The indicator automatically plots the entry, stop loss, TP1 (1R), and TP2 (2R). Trade progression is visualized clearly:
* ENTRY is shown while price has not touched the level
* ENTERED is shown once price reaches the entry
* TP1 is marked only after it is actually reached
Targets and stops are never evaluated on the same candle as entry, avoiding false same-bar outcomes.
A minimum structure range filter is included to avoid low-quality setups. All colors and visual elements are fully customizable.
A status table in the top-right shows the most important context at a glance, including the last confirmed swing levels, active leg direction, impulse range, and current entry level.
This script is a visual analysis and planning tool only. It does not place trades and does not repaint. It is intended to be used alongside proper confirmation and risk management.
TRENDSNIPER(4ZONES)[NETSGAIN]
TRENDSNIPER(4ZONES)
TrendSniper(4zones) is a structured trend-context indicator designed to help traders identify where meaningful opportunity exists — and where it does not.
Rather than forecasting price or forcing entries, TrendSniper focuses on market conditions, visually separating trending environments from neutral or overextended states. This framework allows traders to operate with clarity, patience, and consistency — especially in volatile markets.
The indicator is built to reduce decision pressure and emotional interference by clearly defining zones of trend alignment, neutrality, and risk-elevated extension.
Markets do not offer opportunity at all times.
TrendSniper’s purpose is to filter the market into four distinct behavioral zones, allowing traders to align their actions with the prevailing context instead of reacting impulsively to short-term price movement.
The indicator is non-repainting and fully rule-based.
🟦 Bullish Trend Zone (Blue)
Market structure is aligned to the upside
Trend conditions favor long continuation
Designed to support trend participation, not prediction
🟥 Bearish Trend Zone (Red)
Market structure is aligned to the downside
Trend conditions favor short continuation
Highlights bearish control rather than entry timing
⬜ Neutral Zone (Gray)
No structural edge present
Trend alignment is unclear or transitioning
Often a zone for risk management, trade review, or standing aside
🟨 Overextended Zone (Yellow)
Price has moved significantly relative to recent volatility
Trend may still exist, but risk is elevated
Intended as a cautionary state rather than a hard prohibition
TrendSniper includes a single adjustable parameter:
Overextension Filter
This setting controls how strictly extended moves are filtered.
Lower values (e.g. 0.20)
→ Stricter filtering
→ Overextended zones appear more frequently
Higher values (e.g. 0.30)
→ Looser filtering
→ Overextended zones appear less frequently
This allows users to adapt the indicator to different volatility conditions and personal risk tolerance while preserving the core logic.
Primary market focus: Crypto (BTC, ETH — spot or futures)
Recommended timeframe: 4H
Can be used on other symbols and timeframes, but behavior is optimized for crypto market structure
TrendSniper is best used as a context framework, not a standalone entry system.
It helps traders decide when to engage, when to manage risk, and when to wait.
TrendSniper is intentionally minimal.
It does not:
Force entries
Predict reversals
Encourage overtrading
Instead, it provides visual structure so traders can:
Stay aligned with dominant trends
Avoid low-quality conditions
Reduce FOMO-driven decisions
Focus on larger, cleaner moves
This makes the indicator suitable for both beginners and experienced traders, as it communicates market state clearly without complexity.
TrendSniper is not about speed.
It is about precision, patience, and alignment.
Trend conditions are identified first — execution decisions remain with the trader.
Trend is your friend — but only when conditions are clear.
This indicator is provided for informational and educational purposes only.
It does not constitute financial, investment, or trading advice.
All trading decisions made using this indicator are the sole responsibility of the user.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Trading involves risk.
Sessions with Opening/Closing, Multi timeframeSessions with Opening & Closing is a simple and lightweight TradingView indicator that automatically marks the opening and closing moments of the major trading sessions directly on your chart.
It visually highlights:
Asian Session
European Session
U.S. Session
Each session opening and closing is shown with:
A vertical line on the exact candle where the session starts or ends
A label showing the session name and whether it is an Open or Close
This helps traders easily identify session transitions, which are often associated with changes in liquidity, volatility, and market behavior.
How It Works
The script checks whether the current candle falls inside a predefined session time range based on a selected time zone.
When the session state changes:
From inactive → active → it draws an Open marker
From active → inactive → it draws a Close marker
This is done for each session independently (Asia, Europe, USA), so you can clearly see when one session starts or ends relative to the others.
The indicator does not repaint and uses only confirmed candle information.
Sessions Used (default)
These are the default session times (you can change them in the code):
Asia: 19:00 – 01:00
Europe: 02:00 – 10:00
USA: 09:30 – 16:00
All times are interpreted according to the selected time zone.
How to Change the Time Zone
At the top of the script you will find this line:
tz = "America/La_Paz"
To change the time zone, simply replace "America/La_Paz" with your desired zone.
Examples:
tz = "America/New_York" // New York
tz = "Europe/London" // London
tz = "Asia/Tokyo" // Tokyo
tz = "Australia/Sydney" // Sydney
tz = "UTC" // Coordinated Universal Time
TradingView uses standard IANA time zone names.
You can find the full list here: en.wikipedia.org
Who Is This Indicator For?
This indicator is useful for:
Session-based traders
Liquidity traders
Forex, indices, and crypto traders
Anyone who wants to understand when major market sessions begin and end
Final Notes
Works on all timeframes.
Does not repaint.
Can be used on Forex, Crypto, Indices, and Futures.
Fully customizable (sessions, colors, labels, and time zone).

GateKeepers - EMA Signals (v2)GateKeepers EMA v2 — Clean Trend Bias & Market Structure Framework
GateKeepers EMA v2 is a clean, rule-based EMA framework designed to define trend bias and directional context without clutter, lag, or signal spam.
This indicator is built for traders who understand that bias comes before entries. Instead of generating buy/sell signals, EMA v2 focuses on clearly showing when the market is bullish, bearish, or transitioning, so you can make better decisions with your existing execution model.
🔑 What GateKeepers EMA v2 Does
• Dynamically colors EMAs to instantly reflect bullish vs bearish market conditions
• Helps identify trend alignment, transitions, and chop
• Keeps charts clean and readable for fast decision-making
• Works seamlessly with price action, structure, momentum, and volatility tools
🎯 How to Use It
• Use EMA v2 as your directional filter (trade with the trend, not against it)
• Combine with:
• Market structure (HH/HL or LL/LH)
• Momentum confirmation (MACD, RSI, volume)
• Session and volatility filters
• Ideal for MNQ / NQ futures, intraday trading, and scalping
🚫 What This Is NOT
• Not a signal-spamming indicator
• Not a “holy grail”
• Not meant to replace risk management or execution rules
🧠 Why It Works
Professional traders don’t trade indicators—they trade context.
GateKeepers EMA v2 provides that context by keeping you aligned with the dominant trend and out of low-probability conditions.
If your charts feel noisy or your trades feel random, this tool helps bring structure and discipline back into your process.
⸻
Best used as part of a rules-based trading system.

You can also remove and re-add the indicator to reset its placement.
Multi-Filter Slope Master Pro CareC v2This advanced multi-timeframe indicator analyzes EMA slope trends with customizable filtering to identify high-probability trading opportunities. It calculates slope momentum for EMA 9, 20, and 50 using three different methods (Linear Regression, Weighted, or Simple), applies higher timeframe trend filtering and volume confirmation, and presents signals in a highly configurable data table with five color themes and six positioning options. The indicator visualizes filtered slope values while offering comprehensive trend strength analysis through real-time table displays that adapt to different screen sizes and user preferences.
HTF Rejection Blocks (RB) v2 [louis]Overview
HTF Rejection Blocks is a price action tool designed to automatically identify and visualize areas of significant market rejection. By analyzing candle wicks relative to their bodies and historical volatility, this indicator highlights zones where institutional buying or selling pressure has occurred.
Unlike standard support and resistance indicators, this script focuses specifically on wick rejection, which often signals where price failed to sustain a move due to a wall of opposing orders.
How It Works
The script utilizes a percentile based ranking system. It analyzes the upper and lower wicks of the most recent candles and compares them to the lookback period.
Bearish Zones: Created when an Upper Wick is significantly larger than the average, indicating sellers pushed price down aggressively.
Bullish Zones: Created when a Lower Wick is significantly larger than the average, indicating buyers stepped in to reverse the price.
Once a zone is identified, it draws a box extending to the right until price closes beyond the zone, mitigating/invalidating it.
Key Features
1. Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Dashboard
Monitor higher timeframe structures without leaving your current chart. The script allows you to configure up to 4 distinct timeframes simultaneously.
Example: You can view 15m, 1H, and 4H wick zones while trading on a 1m chart.
Each timeframe has independent Bull/Bear color settings and toggle controls.
2. Smart Filtering (Advanced Options)
Reduce noise and focus on high-probability setups using the built-in filters
3. OTE Fib Levels
Automatically plots Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) Fibonacci levels inside every active zone.
Includes customizable levels: 0.50, 0.62, 0.705, and 0.79.
Useful for precision entries upon a retest of the wick.
4. Zone Management
Live Invalidation: Zones are automatically removed when price closes outside the wick range.
Mitigated Zones: Option to leave a faint "ghosts" of broken zones to see historical reaction points.
Wick Highlighting: Optional outline around the specific candle that created the zone for visual clarity. Helpful for HTF zones.
Settings Guide
Zone Settings
Highlight Wick: Toggles the border outline of the candle that generated the zone.
Mitigated Zones: If checked, broken zones remain on the chart as faint gray boxes (Ghosting).
Timeframe Configuration
Enable/Disable: Use the checkbox to turn specific timeframes on or off.
Timeframe Selector: Choose the specific TF (e.g., 15m, 4H, D).
Colors: Customize the Bull (Support) and Bear (Resistance) colors for each timeframe to distinguish them easily.
OTE Fib Levels
Enable retracement levels to appear inside the zones.
Advanced Options
Experimental Filtering: Enables the RSI and minimum spacing logic to filter out weaker signals.
Calculated Bars Count: specific how far back the script processes data (lower numbers improve performance).
ATX Price Action StrategyWhat it is
A price-action and liquidity mapping tool that builds a consistent structure model and derives BOS legs, sweeps, and zones from that single engine so the chart elements stay coherent.
How it works (high level)
Price Action (Structure + Liquidity + Zones)
Swing/structure engine: Objective fractal swings define structure.
BOS + sweep logic: Uses that structure to detect breaks and liquidity events (inducement/sweep behavior).
Session context: Optional session profiling to anchor where liquidity is forming.
Zones: Converts displacement/structure events into projected areas of interest; optional risk visualization keeps the chart readable.
How to use
Use it as a mapping layer, not a promise of prediction.
Keep fewer elements enabled at once; the point is clarity, not “more drawings.”
5-Layer Script Strategy P1 Midpoint Package (4H / D / W) This script is a multi timeframe framework that utilizes the 4H, Daily, and the Weekly timeframes. This Indicator automatically tracks the midpoints averages of those candles of the mentioned timeframes . This allows traders to actively see the markets momentum and opportunities for when the market reverses. These points acts as reaction levels and NOT ENTRY SIGNALS. This is a identity that helps identify direction and works with the other 4 Layers.
HOW IT WORKS
-Higher timeframe ranges are calculated using midpoints
-Midpoints persist until the candle closes
-No repainting either.
HOW TO USE THIS STRATEGY
-Start from the higher timeframe and work your way to the smaller ones
-Look for reactions and rejections rather than blind entries.
Weekly = bias is a swing
Daily = session to session directional bias
4HR = intraday framework to locate entries
WARNING
Not everyone uses the same settings therefore its natural to have multiple pieces, look through them and fix it to meet your expectations if need to.

Current & Prior Day OHLC Levels# Current & Prior Day OHLC Levels with 15-Minute Opening Range
## Overview
This comprehensive indicator plots key price levels for futures and stock traders, displaying Current Day levels, Prior Day levels, and the 15-Minute Opening Range. These levels serve as critical support and resistance zones that professional traders monitor throughout the trading session.
## Key Features
### Current Day Levels (Session-Based)
- **Current Open**: The opening price of the current trading session
- **Current High**: The highest price reached during the current session (updates in real-time)
- **Current Low**: The lowest price reached during the current session (updates in real-time)
The indicator properly recognizes **futures trading sessions**, which begin at their respective session start times (not midnight). For example, most equity index futures sessions begin at 6:00 PM ET the previous day, ensuring accurate session-based tracking for overnight and globex trading.
### Prior Day Levels
- **Prior Open**: Opening price from the previous trading session
- **Prior High**: High of the previous trading session
- **Prior Low**: Low of the previous trading session
- **Prior Close**: Closing price from the previous trading session
Prior day levels are some of the most widely watched technical levels in trading, often acting as psychological support and resistance zones where price action tends to react.
### 15-Minute Opening Range (NY Session)
- **OR High**: The high of the first 15 minutes after New York market open (9:30-9:45 AM ET)
- **OR Low**: The low of the first 15 minutes after New York market open (9:30-9:45 AM ET)
The opening range concept is a popular day trading strategy. The first 15 minutes often establishes the tone for the day, with these levels frequently serving as breakout or breakdown points. The indicator tracks these levels in real-time as they form, then locks them in after 9:45 AM ET.
## Visual Design
### Smart Line Extension
- Lines extend **left** to the exact bar that created each level (e.g., the bar that made the high)
- Lines extend **right** by a configurable number of bars (default: 50 bars)
- No infinite line extension cluttering your chart
### Intelligent Label Placement
- Labels positioned **above** highs and opens
- Labels positioned **below** lows
- Adjustable offset to position labels optimally for your timeframe
- Optional price display in labels (e.g., "Current High: 5,950.00")
- Semi-transparent label backgrounds for clean chart appearance
## Customization Options
### Individual Level Controls
Each level (Current Open, High, Low, Prior Open, High, Low, Close, OR High, OR Low) can be:
- Toggled on/off independently
- Assigned a custom color
- Given its own line style (Solid, Dashed, or Dotted)
- Adjusted for line width (1-5 pixels)
### Default Styling
- **Current Day**: Solid lines (Gold for Open, Green for High, Red for Low)
- **Prior Day**: Dashed lines (Steel Blue for Open, Dark Cyan for High, Crimson for Low, Slate Blue for Close)
- **Opening Range**: Dotted lines (Cyan for High, Tomato for Low)
This default styling provides clear visual distinction between level types while remaining professional and easy to read.
### Label Customization
- Toggle all labels on/off
- Show or hide price values in labels
- Adjust label offset (distance from current bar)
- Five label size options: Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, Huge
### Line Extension Control
- Configurable right extension (0-500 bars)
- Adjust based on your chart timeframe and preference
## Best Use Cases
### Futures Traders
The indicator's session-aware design makes it perfect for futures markets, properly handling:
- Electronic trading hours (Globex)
- Session rollovers at 5:00 PM or 6:00 PM ET (depending on contract)
- Overnight price action
### Day Traders
- Use Opening Range levels for breakout/breakdown strategies
- Monitor Current High/Low for intraday trend identification
- Watch Prior Day levels for profit targets and stop placement
### Swing Traders
- Prior Day High/Low often act as key decision points
- Prior Close serves as an important reference level
- Current Day levels help with intraday entry/exit timing
### Multi-Timeframe Analysis
Works on any intraday timeframe:
- 1-minute for scalping
- 5-minute for active day trading
- 15-minute or 30-minute for swing entries
- 1-hour for position context
## Technical Details
### Session Detection
- Uses TradingView's built-in session detection for accurate daily boundaries
- Properly handles futures contracts with non-midnight session starts
- New York timezone detection for Opening Range (9:30 AM ET)
### Real-Time Updates
- Current High and Low update dynamically as price moves
- Opening Range levels update live during the 9:30-9:45 AM window
- Lines redraw on each bar to maintain accurate positioning
### Performance
- Maximum 500 lines and 500 labels to ensure smooth chart performance
- Efficient line/label deletion and recreation on session changes
- Minimal computational overhead
## Tips for Optimal Use
1. **Adjust Line Extension**: For lower timeframes (1-min, 5-min), reduce right extension to 20-30 bars. For higher timeframes (1-hour), increase to 100+ bars.
2. **Combine with Price Action**: These levels work best when combined with candlestick patterns, volume analysis, and order flow.
3. **Watch for Level Tests**: Price often tests these levels multiple times before breaking through or reversing.
4. **Opening Range Breakouts**: Many traders wait for price to break and close above OR High or below OR Low before entering directional trades.
5. **Prior Day Levels as Targets**: Use Prior High as an upside target and Prior Low as a downside target for intraday trades.

FVG/IFVG Detector Pro FVG Detector Pro – with Automatic IFVG
Description
FVG Detector Pro is an advanced indicator designed to automatically detect Fair Value Gaps (FVG) and Inverse Fair Value Gaps (IFVG).
It helps traders visualize market imbalances created by impulsive price movements and quickly identify when a Fair Value Gap fails and becomes an inverse reaction zone.
This tool is built for intraday and futures trading (NQ, MNQ, ES, etc.) and works on any timeframe.
What is a Fair Value Gap (FVG)?
A Fair Value Gap represents a price imbalance where the market moved too quickly and did not trade efficiently.
Detection rules used:
Bullish FVG: Low > High
Bearish FVG: High < Low
FVGs often act as:
retracement zones
reaction areas
continuation or rejection zones
IFVG – Inverse Fair Value Gap
An IFVG is created when a Fair Value Gap is invalidated by price action.
Invalidation rules:
Bullish FVG becomes Bearish IFVG when price closes below the FVG bottom
Bearish FVG becomes Bullish IFVG when price closes above the FVG top
This indicates that the original imbalance failed and the zone now acts in the opposite direction.

How to Use the Indicator
Standard FVG Setup
A Fair Value Gap is created
Price retraces into the zone
Price reacts in the direction of the FVG
IFVG Setup (High-Probability Scenario)
A Fair Value Gap is formed
Price fails and breaks through the zone
The zone converts into an IFVG
A retest of the IFVG often provides an entry in the opposite direction
IFVGs frequently represent failed expectations and can offer strong trading opportunities.
Recommended Timeframes
1m / 2m / 5m for scalping and intraday trading
15m / 30m for higher-timeframe context
The indicator is fully timeframe-independent.
Best Practices
Always use FVGs and IFVGs with market context (VWAP, session levels, trend bias)
IFVGs are especially effective around the US session open
Avoid trading FVGs directly against strong momentum

Rapid Signal Geometry (Multi-TF)Rapid Signal Geometry (RSG)
Structure-Driven Trend & Entry Framework
Rapid Signal Geometry (RSG) is a clean, rule-based trend and signal framework designed to identify directional bias first, then generate precise Buy/Sell signals aligned with that bias. The indicator focuses on price structure, volatility expansion, and candle geometry rather than traditional crossover logic.
This tool is built for traders who want fewer, higher-quality signals and a clear understanding of market direction across timeframes.
Core Concept
RSG works in two layers:
• A geometry-based trend engine that defines whether the market is structurally bullish or bearish
• A signal engine that triggers only when price confirms a directional transition
The goal is to reduce noise, prevent rapid repeated signals, and keep trades aligned with the dominant market structure.
How the Indicator Works
1. Geometry Baseline
A smoothed baseline is calculated using RMA and adaptive volatility (ATR or Standard Deviation). This creates dynamic upper and lower geometry bands that respond to real market expansion rather than static levels.
2. Trend Detection (Geometry Direction)
• Trend turns bullish when price closes above the upper geometry band
• Trend turns bearish when price closes below the lower geometry band
• No trailing or repainting logic is used
Once a trend flips, it remains active until a valid opposite condition is met.
3. Signal Generation
• Buy signal prints only on the first bullish transition
• Sell signal prints only on the first bearish transition
• Signals always occur at the start of a new structural leg, not in the middle
4. Candle Geometry Levels
On each signal candle, the indicator optionally plots:
• 50% equilibrium of the candle
• Wick-based reference level
These are visual guides only, useful for entries, pullbacks, or confluence with other tools.
Filters & Controls
Cooldown + Re-Qualification Filter
Prevents rapid “machine-gun” signals in the same direction.
Within the cooldown window, a new signal is allowed only if price re-qualifies at a better level.
Geometry Direction Filter
When enabled:
• Buy signals only appear during bullish geometry
• Sell signals only appear during bearish geometry
This allows RSG to be used as a higher-timeframe bias filter for lower-timeframe execution.
Reference Timeframe (HTF Geometry)
Users can select a higher timeframe to calculate geometry bias while trading on a lower timeframe.
Signals are aligned using closed higher-timeframe candles to avoid repainting.
Signal Visibility Toggles
• Show or hide Buy signals
• Show or hide Sell signals
• Disable all plotting without changing calculations
How to Use RSG
Recommended Workflow
• Use higher timeframe geometry (1H, 4H, or Daily) to define trend bias
• Execute entries on lower timeframes (15m or 5m)
• Only trade in the direction shown by the geometry state
Example
If geometry shows LONG:
• Ignore Sell signals
• Focus on Buy signals, pullbacks, or continuation entries
If geometry shows SHORT:
• Ignore Buy signals
• Focus on Sell signals and downside structure
Best Timeframes
• Geometry / Bias: 1H, 4H, Daily
• Entries: 15m and 5m
The indicator is timeframe-agnostic but performs best when structure and execution are separated.
Important Notes
• No repainting
• Signals are printed only on confirmed bar closes
• This is not a prediction tool
• Always combine with proper risk management
Who This Indicator Is For
• Traders who want structure-based signals
• Traders who dislike noisy crossover systems
• Traders who trade trend continuation and reversals
• ICT / price-action focused traders

Gold scalper 1 min or 30 sec V2Gold Scalper V2 is a precision scalping tool designed for XAUUSD, combining classic trend-following with a unique "Hybrid Tick-Flow" capability.
🔥 Core Features:
Golden Ratio Ribbon: A sequence of Fibonacci EMAs (5 to 144) to visually identify strong trends and dynamic support/resistance zones.
Stoch RSI Trigger: Precise entry timing using Stoch RSI crossovers specifically in Overbought/Oversold zones.
Multi-Timeframe Breakout Filter: Filters out bad signals by ensuring price is breaking new highs or lows on a higher timeframe.
💡 The "Secret Weapon": Tick Chart Alarms on 1-Sec Chart This script solves a major limitation on TradingView regarding alerts on Tick Charts.
The Setup: Open your chart on the 1-second (1s) timeframe.
The Hack: In the indicator settings, set the "Filter Timeframe" to "1000T" (or any Tick value).
The Advantage: The script pulls structure data (High/Low) from the 1000 Tick chart (Volume-based structure) but runs the logic on the 1-second chart (Time-based).
Result: You get the precision of Tick Chart analysis WITH functional Server-Side Alerts provided by the 1-second timeframe.
🛠 Strategy Logic:
🟢 LONG (Buy): Trend Ribbon is Green + Stoch RSI Crossup (<20) + Price breaks above the previous Filter High (e.g., 1000T High).
🔴 SHORT (Sell): Trend Ribbon is Red + Stoch RSI Crossdown (>80) + Price breaks below the previous Filter Low (e.g., 1000T Low).
Warning: This script is designed for high-frequency scalping. Please manage your risk properly. Credit: Boss Edit / Code optimized for real-time calculation.
trend system configuration [skyeye]System Overview The Structural Trend & Fibo Nexus is a comprehensive trading system designed to bridge the gap between discretionary technical analysis and quantitative risk management. It integrates Market Structure identification, Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Momentum, and automated Risk/Reward calculation into a single chart interface.
Core Features & Calculation Logic
1. Market Structure Identification (The Backbone)
Algorithm: Utilizes a filtered ZigZag algorithm. Unlike standard ZigZags, this script incorporates a Min Swing % filter and a Min Bars duration filter.
Logic: It identifies valid Higher Highs (HH) and Lower Lows (LL) only when price moves exceed a specific volatility threshold. This effectively filters out market noise.
Visuals:
Green Background: Indicates a Bullish Structure phase.
Red Background: Indicates a Bearish Structure phase.
2. Zero-Lag Momentum Layer (The Trigger)
Algorithm: A Two-Pole Gaussian Filter.
Logic: Gaussian filters offer superior smoothness compared to Simple or Exponential Moving Averages (SMA/EMA) while significantly reducing lag. This allows for faster reaction to trend reversals without the "whipsaw" effect of noisy moving averages.
MTF Dashboard: The table in the bottom-right corner monitors the Gaussian momentum across 5 timeframes (5m to 4h) in real-time, helping traders align with the dominant trend.
3. Quantitative Risk Engine (The Execution)
Auto-Calculation: When a valid trend reversal signal occurs (Structure Flip + Momentum Cross), the script automatically projects a trade setup.
Dynamic Stop Loss (SL): Calculated using the Average True Range (ATR). This ensures the stop loss adapts to the current market volatility (wider stops in volatile markets, tighter stops in calm markets).
Take Profit (TP) Targets: Automatically projects three fixed Reward-to-Risk (R:R) targets:
TP1: 1:1 R:R
TP2: 1:1.5 R:R
TP3: 1:2 R:R
Visuals: Draws colored boxes and dashed lines on the chart to visualize the potential PnL zones immediately upon signal generation.
Strategy Guide: The "Quant Nexus" Method
Step 1: Structural Bias Observe the background color.
Trade Long only when the background is Green.
Trade Short only when the background is Red.
Step 2: Trend Alignment Check the MTF Dashboard. Ideally, the H1 and H4 timeframes should match the color of your intended trade direction (Green for Long, Purple for Short).
Step 3: Signal Execution Wait for the entry signal (indicated by the Risk/Reward boxes appearing).
Entry: At the close of the signal candle.
Stop Loss: Place your SL at the level indicated by the "Stop Loss" label (based on ATR).
Take Profit: Scale out positions at TP1, TP2, and TP3 levels.
Settings Customization
ZigZag Config: Adjust Depth and Min Swing % to tune the sensitivity of market structure.
MTF Trends: Customize the Alpha to adjust the smoothness of the Gaussian line.
Quant Risk: Toggle Use ATR SL or adjust SL Multiplier to fit your risk appetite.
Disclaimer: This tool is for educational purposes only. Automated signals should always be verified with your own analysis.

系統概述 Structural Trend & Fibo Nexus 是一套綜合交易系統，旨在縮小主觀技術分析與量化風險管理之間的差距。它將市場結構識別、多週期 (MTF) 動能和自動風險/回報計算整合到單一圖表介面中。
核心功能與計算邏輯
1. 市場結構識別 (骨幹)
演算法： 使用經過過濾的 ZigZag 演算法。與標準 ZigZag 不同，本腳本結合了「最小波動百分比」和「最小 K 線數」過濾器。
邏輯： 僅當價格變動超過特定的波動率閾值時，才會識別有效的更高高點 (HH) 和更低低點 (LL)。這有效地過濾了市場雜訊。
視覺效果：
綠色背景： 表示看漲結構階段。
紅色背景： 表示看跌結構階段。
2. 零延遲動能層 (觸發器)
演算法： 雙極高斯濾波器 (Two-Pole Gaussian Filter)。
邏輯： 與簡單或指數移動平均線 (SMA/EMA) 相比，高斯濾波器提供了卓越的平滑度，同時顯著減少了延遲。這允許對趨勢反轉做出更快的反應，而不會產生嘈雜均線的「假突破」效應。
MTF 儀表板： 右下角的表格即時監控 5 個時間週期 (5m 至 4h) 的高斯動能，幫助交易者與主趨勢保持一致。
3. 量化風控引擎 (執行)
自動計算： 當有效的趨勢反轉信號出現（結構翻轉 + 動能交叉）時，腳本會自動投射交易計畫。
動態止損 (SL)： 使用 平均真實波幅 (ATR) 計算。這確保止損能適應當前的市場波動（波動大時止損較寬，平靜時止損較窄）。
止盈 (TP) 目標： 自動投射三個固定的風險回報比 (R:R) 目標：
TP1: 1:1 盈虧比
TP2: 1:1.5 盈虧比
TP3: 1:2 盈虧比
視覺效果： 在信號產生時，立即在圖表上繪製彩色方框和虛線，以視覺化潛在的盈虧區域。
策略指南：量化共振法
第一步：結構偏差 觀察背景顏色。
背景為 綠色 時，僅考慮做多。
背景為 紅色 時，僅考慮做空。
第二步：趨勢對齊 檢查 MTF 儀表板。理想情況下，H1 和 H4 時間週期應與您的預期交易方向顏色相符（做多為綠色，做空為紫色）。
第三步：信號執行 等待進場信號（由出現的風險/回報框指示）。
進場： 在信號 K 線收盤時。
止損： 將止損設置在「Stop Loss」標籤指示的位置（基於 ATR）。
止盈： 在 TP1、TP2 和 TP3 水平分批獲利了結。
設定自定義
ZigZag 設置： 調整 Depth 和 Min Swing % 以微調市場結構的靈敏度。
MTF 趨勢： 自定義 Alpha 以調整高斯線的平滑度。
量化風控： 切換 Use ATR SL 或調整 SL Multiplier 以符合您的風險偏好。
免責聲明：本工具僅供教育用途。自動信號應始終通過您自己的分析進行驗證。
MTF Probability Predictor PRO v2This indicator is designed to generate high-confidence market bias by combining price action, chart structure, momentum, divergence analysis, ATR, and VWAP-based volatility assessment.
Instead of providing binary signals, the indicator presents a probability-based decision framework, displaying BUY / SELL / NEUTRAL confidence percentages in real time. This allows traders to assess signal quality, market strength, and trade suitability before taking a position.
BUY Bias (Trade-Favorable Condition)
A BUY setup is considered favorable when: BUY confidence exceeds 65% AND SELL confidence remains below 10% AND NEUTRAL confidence is 25% or lower
==>> This combination indicates strong directional momentum with minimal opposing pressure, suggesting a higher-probability bullish environment.
SELL Bias (Trade-Favorable Condition)
A SELL setup is considered favorable when: SELL confidence exceeds 65% AND BUY confidence remains below 10% AND NEUTRAL confidence is 25% or lower
==>> This reflects dominant bearish control, reduced market indecision, and a clearer downside directional bias.
NEUTRAL Bias (No-Trade Zone)
A NEUTRAL condition is identified when: NEUTRAL confidence rises above 50% or higher
==>> This indicates range-bound or transitional market behavior, where directional conviction is weak. During such conditions, it is recommended to avoid trading and allow the market to establish a clearer trend.

ICT OTE - Clean v6 (Indicator)ICT OTE — Indicator (Pine v6)
Comprehensive Guide & Rule-Based Trade Plan
This guide explains how to read and trade the Pine v6 indicator version of ICT’s Optimal Trade Entry (OTE). It covers chart elements, the 62–79% OTE zone (with 70.5% mid), confirmation logic, kill-zone gating, rule-based entries/stops/targets, and practical workflows.
1. Overview
The Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) is a core ICT concept that locates high-probability entries inside a Fibonacci retracement window between 62% and 79%, with 70.5% often used as a precise mid level. The indicator highlights that zone for the latest impulse (swing low to swing high for bullish, swing high to swing low for bearish), prints signal labels when price retraces into the box and a confirmation candle forms, and plots visual stop-loss and 1R/2R targets from your chosen entry line (62/70.5/79).
2. What the Indicator Draws
• OTE Box (62–79%): A green box for bullish OTE (drawn between 62% and 79% of the latest bullish impulse) and a red box for bearish OTE (drawn between 62% and 79% retracement of the latest bearish impulse).
• 70.5% Mid Line: A horizontal line through the OTE box at 70.5% (optional).
• Entry Line: Your selected entry reference: Top 62%, Mid 70.5%, or Bottom 79%.
• Signal Labels: ‘OTE Long’ appears when price touches the bullish OTE box and a confirmation candle prints; ‘OTE Short’ for the bearish side.
• Stop-Loss Guide: For longs: swing low of the dealing range; for shorts: swing high of the dealing range (visual plot).
• 1R/2R Target Lines: Two projected lines from the chosen entry to visualize 1R and 2R objectives (purely visual).
• Kill-Zone Shading (optional): Grey shading during London, NY-AM, and NY-PM windows, if gating is enabled.
3. Inputs & Settings
• Pivot Left/Right: Swing detection for impulses using pivot highs/lows (default 3/3).
• Draw OTE Box: Toggle drawing the 62–79% zone.
• Plot 70.5% Mid Line: Toggle the mid-line inside OTE.
• Entry Line: Choose the visual entry anchor (62% / 70.5% / 79%).
• Confirmation: Require a strong candle (default: close > open + continuation vs prior bar for longs; inverse for shorts).
• Stop/Targets: Toggle plotting the swing SL and 1R/2R targets.
• Kill-Zone Gating: If enabled, signals only fire in London (02:00–05:00 NY), NY-AM (08:00–11:00 NY), and NY-PM (13:00–15:00 NY).
• OTE Box Opacity: Adjust visual opacity of the box (default 85).
4. Rule-Based Entry Model
Use these steps exactly; do not skip.
1. Window: Optional — ensure you are inside an ICT kill-zone (London / NY-AM / NY-PM) if gating is enabled.
2. Impulse: Confirm the latest dealing range (pivot-based). Bullish = last swing low precedes last swing high; bearish = last swing high precedes last swing low.
3. OTE Box: Ensure price retraces into the 62–79% zone for the active impulse.
4. Confirmation: Wait for the required confirmation candle (strong or basic, per setting).
5. Entry Anchor: Use your selected line (62/70.5/79) as the reference for planning the fill.
6. Stops: Place SL at the swing extreme of the dealing range (longs: swing low; shorts: swing high).
7. Targets: Map 1R and 2R visual levels from the entry. Optionally prefer opposite liquidity or prior swing if closer (manual).
5. How to Read the Chart Step-by-Step
• Check background shading: are you inside a kill-zone (if enabled)?
• Identify the latest swing high/low markers (dealing range).
• Locate the OTE box for that impulse; confirm price retraced into the box.
• Inspect the confirmation candle: strong body and continuation (for longs: close > open AND close > prior high; for shorts: mirror).
• Use the entry line (62/70.5/79) as the reference; map SL and 1R/2R lines.
• If a signal label prints (‘OTE Long’ or ‘OTE Short’), you have alignment: timing, retracement, and confirmation.
6. Examples
Example Long (NY-AM): Price makes an impulse up (swing low then swing high). During NY-AM kill-zone, price retraces into the green OTE box. A strong bullish candle forms. Entry reference: 70.5% mid. SL at the swing low. Visual TP1/TP2 at 1R/2R.
Example Short (London): Price makes a bearish impulse (swing high then swing low). During London kill-zone, price retraces into the red OTE box. A strong bearish candle forms. Entry reference: 62%. SL at the swing high. Visual TP1/TP2 at 1R/2R.
7. Risk Management
• Fixed percent per trade: e.g., 1% risk relative to account equity (visual targets help sizing).
• One signal per kill-zone window: avoid overtrading inside the same hour.
• Respect invalidations: if a full body closes through the entire box or structure fails, stand down.
• Favor time/volatility windows for execution; avoid thin hours unless testing.
8. Common Pitfalls
• Forcing entries outside OTE: wait for a proper 62–79% retrace.
• Ignoring impulse definition: use confirmed pivots to avoid measuring from noise.
• Skipping confirmation: entries without a qualifying candle are lower quality.
• Inconsistent stops: SL belongs at the impulse extreme; avoid random micro-level stops.
• No timing discipline: kill-zone gating exists to filter low-probability periods.
9. Indicator Parameters — Quick Reference
• Pivot Left/Right: controls swing detection sensitivity (higher = stricter).
• Entry line: choose between 62%, 70.5%, and 79% for your signal anchor.
• Confirmation strength: toggle strong vs basic candle validation.
• Kill-zone gating: optional session-based signal filtering.
• Opacity/colors: cosmetic; adjust to your chart style.
10. Workflow Checklist
• Is the impulse correctly identified (pivot low/high order)?
• Is price inside the OTE box (62–79%)?
• Did the confirmation candle print?
• Is signal gating satisfied (if enabled)?
• Is SL mapped to the impulse extreme?
• Are 1R/2R levels clear from the entry?
• Any scheduled macro events in the window? (avoid surprise volatility).
