Psych LevelWhat it shows:
This indicator will show a horizontal line at a psychological value which can be user defined. (Psychological values are round numbers, like 10,50,100,1000 and so on...)
At these Psychological value there are often limit orders placed for both buying and selling and can often act as support and resistances.
Therefore it is useful to pre-draw these levels beforehand and this indicator will speed up the process doing so by adjusting few different settings and draw them automatically.
How to use it:
At these Psychological value there are often limit orders placed for both buying and selling and can often act as support and resistances. This is often the case when you look at limit orders at such levels on bookmap or level 2 data.
At these psychological levels it can be set as a target of your trade or as risk levels when taking a trade in either of direction. Obviously this alone shouldn't dictate the trade you should take but can be a valuable info to supplement your trade.
On the chart it is clear to see these psychological level lines are acting as resistances/supports.
Key settings:
Interval: Interval levels will be drawn for, between the minimum and maximum values inputted by the user. Minimum value allowed is 1.
Min. value: Minimum value of Psychological level that will be drawn. Minimum value allowed is 1.
Max value: Maximum value of Psychological level that will be drawn. Minimum value allowed is 1.
Line colour: Colour of line drawn.
Line width: Width of line drawn.

Fibonacci - DolphinTradeBot
OVERVIEW
The 'Fibonacci - DolphinTradeBot' indicator is a Pine Script-based tool for TradingView that dynamically identifies key Fibonacci retracement levels using ZigZag price movements. It aims to replicate the Fibonacci Retracement tool available in TradingView’s drawing tools. The indicator calculates Fibonacci levels based on directional price changes, marking critical retracement zones such as 0, 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786, and 1.0 on the chart. These levels are visualized with lines and labels, providing traders with precise areas of potential price reversals or trend continuation.
HOW IT WORKS ?
The indicator follows a zigzag formation. After a large swing movement, when new swings are formed without breaking the upper and lower levels, it places Fibonacci levels at the beginning and end points of the major swing movement."
▪️(Bullish) Structure :High → HigherLow → LowerHigh
▪️(Bearish) Structure :Low → LowerHigh → HigherLow
▪️When Fibonacci retracement levels are determined, a "📌" mark appears on the chart.
▪️If the price closes outside of these levels, a "❌" mark will appear.
USAGE
This indicator is designed to plot Fibonacci levels within an accumulation zone following significant price movements, helping you identify potential support and resistance. You can adjust the pivot periods to customize the zigzag settings to your preference. While classic Fibonacci levels are used by default, you also have the option to input custom levels and assign your preferred colors.
Set the Fibonacci direction option to "upward" to detect only bullish structures, "downward" to detect only bearish structures, and "both" to see both at the same time.
"To view past levels, simply enable the ' Show Previous Levels ' option, and to display the zigzag lines, activate the ' Show Zigzag ' setting."
ALERTS
The indicator, by default, triggers an alarm when both a level is formed and when a level is broken. However, if you'd like, you can select the desired level from the " Select Level " section in the indicator settings and set the alarm based on one of the conditions below.
▪️ cross-up → If the price breaks the Fibonacci level to the upside.
▪️ cross-down → If the price breaks the Fibonacci level to the downside.
▪️ cross-any → If the price breaks the Fibonacci level in any direction.

Major Support and Resistance Price LevelsThis indicator is to be used to automatically plot Major Support and Resistance Price Levels. This is not a TREND support/resistance identifier. This is strictly for auto-plotting historically important price levels.
I would suggest adjusting the support/resistance filter before adjusting the sensistivity levels as I've testing out the setting quite a bit, but as always, do what works best for your chart.
If there is an input that you would like to have me add, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
Things to Consider:
Currently this works best on the 4H through 3D chart for Identifying major price levels; however lower timeframes do still work. Because of the large swings that can be typical when coming from Afterhours trading into Market hours, timeframes under 2H can create some false positives. This is obviously not as much of an issue on crypto or forex.
I will be working on allowing lower or higher timeframes with this indicator in order to circumvent the need to jump back to other timeframes and reference them if they are under that 2h threshold.
Future Updates:
Plotting different timeframe's results on a lower or higher timeframe.
Liquidity Zones [ActiveQuants]The Liquidity Zones indicator detects price areas where high trading volume coincides with below-average volatility , critical zones where large players often accumulate or distribute positions. Ideal for spotting potential reversal points and strategic liquidity pools.
Core Detection Formula
Liquidity Zone = (Volume > SMA(Volume, Length) × Multiplier) AND (Short-Term Volatility < 0.5 × Average Volatility)
Volume Surge Detection
Compares current volume to its SMA (user-defined length).
Multiplies threshold with " Volume Threshold Multiplier " parameter.
Volatility Contraction Filter
Calculates 5-bar volatility (standard deviation of closes).
Compares to average volatility over " Price Std. Dev. Length " period.
Requires short-term volatility < 50% of average.
█ KEY FEATURES
Merging Consecutive Zones
If the " Merge Consecutive Zones " option is enabled, the indicator will:
Calculate the number of consecutive bars that meet the liquidity zone criteria.
Sum the volume of these consecutive bars.
Display only the most recent label for the merged zone (previous labels in the sequence are removed).
Displays volume in either
Raw units (" Units ").
Dollar-equivalent (" Currency Value ") using closing price.
Alerts
An alert condition is built into the script. Traders can selectively enable alerts via TradingView’s alert system. Whenever a liquidity zone is detected, an alert is triggered with the message: " High-volume and low-volatility zone detected! ".
█ USER INPUTS
- Liquidity Zones Color
Sets the background color for liquidity zones.
Default: Orange (with 70 transparency).
- Volume SMA Length
Determines the number of bars over which the volume simple moving average is calculated.
Default: 20 bars.
- Volume Threshold Multiplier
Multiplies the volume SMA to establish a threshold. A bar’s volume must exceed this product to be considered high volume.
Default: 2.0.
- Price Std. Dev. Length
The period used to calculate the standard deviation of the closing prices. This is the basis for measuring average volatility.
Default: 14 bars.
- Zone Volume
A toggle to display a label with the volume value on liquidity zones.
Allows you to choose how the volume is displayed: Units (shows raw volume) or Currency Value (multiplies volume by the current closing price).
Allows you to choose the font size of the volume label.
- Merge Consecutive Zones
When enabled, volumes from consecutive liquidity zones are summed into a single total, and only the most recent label is displayed (previous labels in the sequence are removed).
Default: Enabled.
- Show Last
Specifies the number of bars back that the indicator will evaluate and plot liquidity zones.
Default: 500 bars.
- Timeframe
Analysis period.
Default: Chart.
█ CONCLUSION
The Liquidity Zones indicator is a powerful tool for traders seeking to identify key areas on the chart where liquidity is concentrated, characterized by high volume and low volatility . With customizable settings for volume analysis and volatility measurement , this indicator can be integrated into a wide range of trading strategies. It not only highlights these zones visually but also provides volume data labels and alerts for timely decision-making.
█ IMPORTANT NOTES
⚠ Volume and Volatility Settings: Adjust the Volume SMA Length , Volume Threshold Multiplier , and Price Std. Dev. Length to suit the typical trading volume and volatility of the asset you are analyzing.
⚠ Confirmed Bars Only: Signals are generated only on confirmed bars. This minimizes false signals due to intra-bar noise and also prevents indicator repainting .
⚠ Risk Management: Liquidity zones may signal areas of potential accumulation or distribution, but they should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools (e.g., support/resistance levels, trendlines, or momentum indicators). Trading involves risk, and it is recommended to combine this indicator with proper risk management techniques.
█ RISK DISCLAIMER
Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Liquidity zones indicate potential interest areas but don't guarantee price reactions. Always confirm with additional analysis and proper risk management. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
📈 Happy trading! 🚀

PVSRA v5Overview of the PVSRA Strategy
This strategy is designed to detect and capitalize on volume-driven threshold breaches in price candles. It operates on the premise that when a high-volume candle breaks a critical price threshold, not all orders are filled within that candle’s range. This creates an imbalance—similar to a physical system being perturbed—causing the price to revert toward the level where the breach occurred to “absorb” the residual orders.
Key Features and Their Theoretical Underpinnings
Dynamic Volume Analysis and Threshold Detection
Volume Surges as Market Perturbations:
The script computes a moving average of volume over a short window and flags moments when the current volume significantly exceeds this average. These surges act as a perturbation—injecting “energy” into the market.
Adaptive Abnormal Volume Threshold:
By calculating a dynamic abnormal threshold using a daily volume average (via an 89-period VWMA) and standard deviation, the strategy identifies when the current volume is abnormally high. This mechanism mirrors the idea that when a system is disturbed (here, by a volume surge), it naturally seeks to return to equilibrium.
Candle Coloring and Visual Signal Identification
Differentiation of Candle Types:
The script distinguishes between bullish (green) and bearish (red) candles. It applies different colors based on the strength of the volume signal, providing a clear, visual representation of whether a candle is likely to trigger a price reversion.
Implication of Unfilled Orders:
A red (bearish) candle with high volume implies that sell pressure has pushed the price past a critical threshold—yet not all buy orders have been fulfilled. Conversely, a green (bullish) candle indicates that aggressive buying has left pending sell orders. In both cases, the market is expected to reverse toward the breach point to restore balance.
Trade Execution Logic: Normal and Reversal Trades
Normal Trades:
When a high-volume candle breaches a threshold and meets the directional conditions (e.g., a red candle paired with price above a daily upper band), the strategy enters a trade anticipating a reversion. The underlying idea is that the market will move back to the level where the threshold was crossed—clearing the residual orders in a manner analogous to a system following the path of least resistance.
Reversal Trades:
The strategy also monitors for clusters of consecutive signals within a short lookback period. When multiple signals accumulate, it interprets this as the market having overextended and, in a corrective move, reverses the typical trade direction. This inversion captures the market’s natural tendency to “correct” itself by moving in discrete, quantized steps—each step representing the absorption of a minimum quantum of order imbalance.
Risk and Trade Management
Stop Loss and Take Profit Buffers:
Both normal and reversal trades include predetermined buffers for stop loss and take profit levels. This systematic risk management approach is designed to capture the anticipated reversion while minimizing potential losses, aligning with the idea that market corrections follow the most energy-efficient path back to equilibrium.
Symbol Flexibility:
An option to override the chart’s symbol allows the strategy to be applied consistently across different markets, ensuring that the volume and price dynamics are analyzed uniformly.
Conceptual Bridge: From Market Dynamics to Trade Execution
At its core, the strategy treats market price movements much like a physical system that seeks to minimize “transactional energy” or inefficiency. When a price candle breaches a key threshold on high volume, it mimics an injection of energy into the system. The subsequent price reversion is the market’s natural response—moving in the most efficient path back to balance. This perspective is akin to the principle of least action, where the system evolves along the trajectory that minimizes cumulative imbalance, and it acknowledges that these corrections occur in discrete steps reflective of quantized order execution.
This unified framework allows the PVSRA strategy to not only identify when significant volume-based threshold breaches occur but also to systematically execute trades that benefit from the expected corrective moves.
