🟡 GOLD 4H HUD v8.9 — Loose ICT OB + Strong/Weak + FVG/HVN/LVNGOLD 4H HUD v8.9 is a clean, structured Smart Money Concepts (SMC)–based analysis tool designed exclusively for XAUUSD on the 4-hour timeframe.
It focuses on the three most important elements for institutional orderflow analysis:
✔ Loose ICT Order Blocks (Demand/Supply)
✔ Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
✔ Volume Profile Zones (HVN/LVN/POC)
The script builds a professional-style HUD that displays the key institutional regions and structural levels that matter most for gold traders.
📌 Key Features
1 — Market Structure Engine (HH/HL & BOS)
The indicator detects:
Minor swing Highs and Lows
Last confirmed HH / HL levels
Break of Structure (BOS) for directional bias
EMA-200 trend filter (UP / DOWN / NEUTRAL)
This gives traders a clean structural read without clutter or noise.
2 — Loose FVG Engine (Tolerance-Based ICT Gaps)
A soft-threshold FVG engine detects “loose” Fair Value Gaps using a 0.1% price tolerance.
This method ensures:
Fewer missed imbalances
Cleaner OB/FVG alignment
Higher accuracy on 4H gold displacement legs
FVGs automatically shift to the right side of the chart for clean visualization.
3 — Order Block Engine (Demand/Supply + Strong/Weak Classification)
A simplified ICT-style OB engine scans the past few candles whenever BOS is detected.
It identifies:
Demand OB during bullish BOS
Supply OB during bearish BOS
Strong OB if fully nested inside an active FVG
Weak OB otherwise
OB boxes include:
Clear color coding (strong vs. weak)
Price range labels inside each box
Automatic right-shift for visual clarity
4 — Volume Profile Engine (POC / HVN / LVN / VAH / VAL)
Based on a rolling window (default 120 bars), the script builds a lightweight volume distribution.
It displays:
POC (Point of Control)
HVN (High Volume Node)
LVN (Low Volume Node)
Value Area High / Low
HVN/LVN zones are shown as right-shifted colored boxes with price labels.
These zones help identify:
Institutional accumulation
Low-liquidity rejection points
Areas where price tends to react strongly
5 — Support / Resistance Mapping
The script automatically generates:
OB-based support/resistance
Swing-high/swing-low levels
HVN/LVN structural levels
These are displayed in the HUD for fast reference.
6 — Professional HUD Panel
A compact, easy-to-read HUD summarizes:
Trend direction
Latest HH/HL
OB ranges (Strong/Weak)
HVN/LVN price zones
POC
Multi-layer support & resistance
This turns the script into a fully functional analysis dashboard.
📌 What This Indicator Is NOT
To avoid misunderstanding:
It does not take entries or generate buy/sell signals
It does not auto-detect CHOCH, MSS, SMT, or sweeps
It is not a trading bot
This tool is designed as an institutional-style map and analysis HUD, not a strategy.
📌 Best Use Case
This indicator is ideal for traders who want to:
Read institutional structure on XAUUSD
Identify clean Demand/Supply zones
Visualize FVG/OB/HVN interactions
Track high-value liquidity levels
Build directional bias on 4H before dropping to execution timeframes
⚠ Important Note
This tool is designed exclusively for the 4H timeframe.
Using it on lower timeframes will display a warning.

BuLLzEyE_MNQ FVG/IFVG SystemFVG Boxes
These are the main trading zones. The indicator automatically detects Fair Value Gaps and draws boxes on your chart:
• GREEN boxes = Bullish FVG (potential buy zone)
• RED boxes = Bearish FVG (potential sell zone)
• YELLOW boxes = IFVG (Inverse FVG - filled gaps that now act as support/resistance)
• GRAY boxes = Mitigated FVG (gap has been filled)
• WHITE dashed line = 50% level (optimal entry point within the FVG)
Session Boxes
Session boxes show you the high/low range of each major trading session. This helps identify where liquidity sits:
• PURPLE = Asia Session (6:00 PM - 3:00 AM ET)
• BLUE = London Session (3:00 AM - 12:00 PM ET)
• ORANGE = New York Session (9:30 AM - 4:00 PM ET)
• TEAL = Sydney Session (5:00 PM - 2:00 AM ET)
• LIME GREEN = Kill Zone / London-NY Overlap (8:00 AM - 11:00 AM ET) - BEST TRADING TIME
Entry Signals
• GREEN triangle pointing UP = Long entry signal at a Bullish FVG (not 100% reliable)
• RED triangle pointing DOWN = Short entry signal at a Bearish FVG (not 100% reliable)
Liquidity Sweeps
• RED X with 'SWEEP' = Previous Day High (PDH) was swept
• GREEN X with 'SWEEP' = Previous Day Low (PDL) was swept
• Dotted lines = PDH (red) and PDL (green) levels
Information Tables
HTF Bias Table (Top Right): Shows whether the higher timeframe (default 15m) is bullish or bearish, the number of active FVGs, and whether you're in the trading session.
Risk Calculator Table (Bottom Right): Shows your risk amount and calculates how many contracts you can trade for different stop loss sizes (5pt, 10pt, 15pt).
How It Works
What is a Fair Value Gap?
A Fair Value Gap (FVG) is a 3-candle pattern where aggressive buying or selling creates a price void. Specifically, it's when the wick of the first candle doesn't overlap with the wick of the third candle, leaving a gap in between. Price tends to return to these gaps to 'rebalance' before continuing in the original direction.
What is an Inverse FVG?
When an FVG gets filled (price returns and closes through the gap), it becomes an Inverse FVG (IFVG). These zones flip their polarity - a filled Bullish FVG becomes resistance, and a filled Bearish FVG becomes support. The indicator automatically converts mitigated FVGs to yellow IFVG boxes.
The 50% Entry Level
The dashed white line in each FVG represents the 50% level (also called Consequent Encroachment). This is considered the optimal entry point - it's the middle of the imbalance where price is most likely to react.
Suggested Trading Strategy
1. Check HTF Bias (top right table) - only trade in that direction
2. Wait for a liquidity sweep (SWEEP label appears)
3. Look for an FVG to form AFTER the sweep
4. Enter when price returns to the 50% level (dashed line)
5. Place stop loss below/above the FVG (add 2 ticks buffer)
6. Take profit at 1:2 or 1:3 risk-to-reward ratio
Settings Explained
FVG Settings
• Min FVG Size: Minimum gap size in points to be considered valid (default: 2.0)
• Max FVG Age: How many bars until an FVG is removed from chart (default: 50)
• Show 50% Entry Level: Toggle the dashed entry line on/off
Session Settings
• Show Session Boxes: Toggle all session boxes on/off
• Max Sessions to Show: How many historical sessions to display (default: 5)
• Individual Session Toggles: Turn each session (Asia/London/NY/Sydney/Kill Zone) on or off
Risk Calculator Settings
• Account Size: Your trading account balance
• Risk Per Trade: Percentage of account to risk per trade (default: 0.5%)
• Tick Value/Size: Contract specifications for MNQ ($0.50 per tick, 0.25 point tick size)
Tips for Best Results
1. Trade during the Kill Zone (8:00-11:00 AM ET) for best volatility and liquidity
2. Always align trades with HTF bias - don't fight the trend
3. Wait for liquidity sweeps before entering - this confirms smart money activity
4. Use the 50% level for entries - it offers the best risk-to-reward
5. Watch for IFVG zones as additional confluence for entries
6. Use the risk calculator to size positions properly - never risk more than you can afford
7. Session boxes help identify where stops are clustered - sweeps of these levels often precede reversals
Available Alerts
• New FVG Formed (Bullish or Bearish)
• Price Touching 50% Entry Level
• FVG Mitigated (gap filled)
• Long Entry Signal

HD Trades📊 ICT Confluence Toolkit (FVG, OB, SMT)
This All-in-One indicator is designed for Smart Money Concepts (SMC) traders, providing visual confirmation and signaling for three critical Inner Circle Trader (ICT) tools directly on your chart: Fair Value Gaps (FVG), Order Blocks (OB), and Smart Money Technique (SMT) Divergence.
It eliminates the need to load multiple indicators, streamlining your analysis for high-probability setups.
🔑 Key Features
1. Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Automatic Detection: Instantly highlights bullish (buy-side) and bearish (sell-side) imbalances using the standard three-candle pattern.
Real-Time Mitigation: Gaps are drawn until price trades into the FVG zone, at which point the indicator automatically "mitigates" and removes the box, ensuring your chart stays clean.
2. Order Blocks (OB)
Impulse-Based Logic: Identifies valid Order Blocks (the last opposing candle) confirmed by a strong, structure-breaking impulse move, quantified using an Average True Range (ATR) multiplier for dynamic sensitivity.
Mitigation Tracking: Bullish OBs are tracked until broken below the low, and Bearish OBs until broken above the high, distinguishing between active supply/demand zones.
3. SMT Divergence (Smart Money Technique)
Multi-Asset Comparison: Utilizes the Pine Script request.security() function to compare the swing structure of the current chart against a correlated asset (e.g., EURUSD vs. GBPUSD, or ES vs. NQ).
Signal Labels: Plots clear 🐂 SMT (Bullish) or 🐻 SMT (Bearish) labels directly on the chart when a divergence in market extremes is detected, signaling a potential reversal or continuation based on internal market weakness.
⚙️ Customization
All three components are toggleable and feature customizable colors and lookback periods, allowing you to fine-tune the indicator to your specific trading strategy and preferred timeframes.
Crucial Setup: For SMT Divergence to function, you must enter a correlated symbol (e.g., NQ1!, ES1!, or a related Forex pair) in the indicator settings.

Forever ModelForever Model is a comprehensive trading framework that visualizes market structure through Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), Smart Money Technique (SMT) divergences, and order block confirmations. The indicator identifies potential price rotations by tracking internal liquidity zones, correlation breaks between assets, and confirmation signals across multiple timeframes.
Designed for clarity and repeatability, the model presents a structured visual logic that supports manual analysis while maintaining flexibility across different assets and timeframes. All components are non-repainting, ensuring historical accuracy and reliable backtesting.
Description
The model operates through a three-part sequence that forms the visual foundation for identifying potential market rotations:
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
FVGs are price imbalances detected on higher timeframes—areas where price moved rapidly between candles, leaving an inefficiency that may be revisited. The indicator identifies both bullish and bearish FVGs, displaying them with color-coded levels that extend until mitigated.
: Chart showing FVG detection with colored lines indicating bullish (green) and bearish (red) gaps
Smart Money Technique (SMT)
SMT detects divergence between the current chart asset and a correlated pair. When one asset makes a higher high while the other forms a lower high (or vice versa), it indicates a potential shift in delivery. The indicator draws visual lines connecting these divergence points and can filter SMTs to only display those occurring within FVG ranges.
: Chart showing SMT divergence lines between two correlated assets with labels indicating the pair name]
Order Block Confirmations (OB)
When price confirms a signal by crossing a pivot level, an Order Block is created. The confirmation line extends from the pivot point, labeled as "OB+" for bullish signals or "OB-" for bearish signals. The latest OB extends to the current bar, while previous OBs remain fixed at their confirmation points.
: Chart showing OB confirmation lines with OB+ and OB- labels at confirmation points]
Key Features
Higher Timeframe (HTF) Detection
FVGs are detected on a higher timeframe than the current chart, with automatic HTF selection based on the current timeframe or manual override options. This ensures that internal liquidity zones are identified from the appropriate structural context.
External Range Liquidity (ERL)
Tracks the latest higher timeframe pivot highs and lows, marking external liquidity levels that may be revisited. ERL levels are displayed as horizontal lines with optional labels, providing context for potential continuation targets.
: Chart showing ERL lines at recent HTF pivot points
Signal Creation and Confirmation System
The model creates pending signals when FVG levels are mitigated. Signals confirm when price closes beyond a pivot level, creating the OB confirmation line. Stop levels are automatically calculated from the maximum (bearish) or minimum (bullish) price between signal creation and confirmation.
SMT Filtering Options
Display all SMTs or only those within FVG ranges
Require SMT for signal confirmation (optional filter)
Automatic or manual SMT pair selection
Support for both correlated and inverse correlated pairs
Directional Bias Filter
Filter FVG detection to show only bullish bias, bearish bias, or both. This allows analysts to align with higher timeframe structure or focus on unidirectional setups.
Confirmation Line Management
Toggle to extend only the latest confirmation line or all confirmation lines
Transparent label backgrounds with colored text (red for bearish, green for bullish)
Automatic cleanup of old confirmation lines (keeps last 50)
Labels positioned at line end (latest) or middle (older lines)
Position Sizing Calculator
Optional position sizing based on account balance, risk percentage or fixed amount, and instrument-specific contract sizes. Supports prop firm calculations and can display position size, entry, and stop levels in the dashboard.
Information Dashboard
A customizable floating table displays:
Current timeframe and HTF
Remaining time in current bar
Current bias direction
Latest confirmed signal details (type, size, entry, stop)
Pending signal status
The dashboard can be repositioned, resized, and styled to match your preferences.
Special Range Creation
When signals confirm, the model can automatically create special range levels from stop prices. These levels persist on the chart as important reference points, even after mitigation, serving as potential reversal zones for future signals.
Label and Visualization Controls
Toggle FVG labels on/off
Toggle confirmation lines on/off
Customizable colors for bullish and bearish FVGs
ERL color customization
SMT line width adjustment
Order Flow Integration (Optional)
The indicator includes optional Open Interest (OI) based special range detection, allowing integration with order flow analysis for enhanced context.
Technical Notes
All components are non-repainting—once formed, they remain on the chart
FVGs cannot be mitigated on their creation bar
Signal-based special ranges persist even after mitigation (important stop levels)
SMT detection supports both HTF and chart timeframe modes
Maximum 50 confirmation lines are maintained for performance
The model is designed to work across all asset classes and timeframes, providing a consistent framework for identifying potential market rotations through the interaction of internal liquidity, correlation breaks, and confirmation signals, this does not constitute as trading advice, past performance is no indication of future performance , this is entirely done for entertainment and educational purposes
Elliott Wave + SMC Fusion # Elliott Wave + SMC Fusion
## TITLE:
Elliott Wave + Smart Money Concepts Fusion
---
## SHORT DESCRIPTION:
Automated Elliott Wave pattern detection with Smart Money Concepts confirmation, EWO oscillator integration, and confluence scoring system.
---
## FULL DESCRIPTION:
### 📊 OVERVIEW
This indicator combines three powerful trading methodologies into a unified system:
- **Elliott Wave Theory** - Automated detection of Wave 1-2 impulse patterns
- **Smart Money Concepts (SMC)** - Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps for institutional confirmation
- **Elliott Wave Oscillator (EWO)** - Momentum-based signal validation
The core concept is to identify high-probability Wave 3 entries by detecting completed Wave 1-2 structures and validating them with SMC and momentum indicators.
---
### 🔧 HOW IT WORKS
**1. Pattern Detection (ZigZag Method)**
- Uses pivot high/low detection to identify swing points
- Validates Wave 2 retracement using Fibonacci ratios (default: 38.2% - 88.6%)
- Requires minimum wave size to filter noise
- Applies confirmation bars to avoid premature signals
**2. Wave Projections**
- Wave 3 target: Fibonacci extension of Wave 1 (default: 1.618)
- Wave 4 retracement: Percentage of Wave 3 (default: 38.2%)
- Wave 5 projection: Extension of Wave 1 from Wave 4
**3. Smart Money Validation**
- **Order Blocks**: Identifies last opposing candle before breakout (institutional footprint)
- **Fair Value Gaps**: Detects price imbalances for potential support/resistance
**4. EWO Confirmation**
- Calculates momentum: (EMA5 / EMA34 - 1) × 100
- Signal line crossovers confirm trend direction
- Strong signals occur at extremes (< -13 or > 13 threshold)
**5. Confluence Scoring (0-100%)**
Points awarded for:
- Fibonacci quality of Wave 2 retracement (10-30 pts)
- Order Block presence (15 pts)
- Fair Value Gap presence (10 pts)
- Volume confirmation (10-15 pts)
- Trend alignment with EMA50 (10 pts)
- EWO confirmation (10-20 pts)
---
### 🎯 UNIQUE FEATURES
**Pattern Locking System**
- Once a valid pattern is detected, it locks until:
- Pattern invalidates (price breaks Wave 0)
- Pattern completes (Wave 5 reached)
- Auto-timeout (configurable bars)
- Prevents rapid signal flipping and false alerts
**Signal Stability Controls**
- Adjustable cooldown between signals (default: 20 bars)
- Minimum bar distance between wave points
- Direction change requirement option
- Confirmation bars after Wave 2 formation
**Visual Wave Tracking**
- Solid lines for impulse waves (0→1, 2→3, 4→5)
- Dashed lines for corrective waves (1→2, 3→4)
- Numbered labels on each wave point
- Real-time projection lines to targets
**Comprehensive Dashboard**
- Current wave status and lock state
- Pattern grade (A+ to D based on confluence)
- Projected vs actual wave levels (✓ when completed)
- SMC confirmation status
- Risk/Reward ratio calculation
- EWO trend direction
---
### 📈 TRADING APPLICATION
**Entry Strategy**
- Wait for Wave 1-2 pattern detection (diamond signal)
- Check confluence score (>65% = higher probability)
- Verify EWO alignment with pattern direction
- Enter after 30% retracement of Wave 2 (customizable)
**Risk Management**
- Stop Loss: Below Wave 0 (with buffer)

Opposing Candle V2🟩 OC (Opposing Candle) Multi–Timeframe Framework
🔍 Overview
The OC Indicator automatically detects and displays Opposing Candles (OCs) across up to three timeframes.
An Opposing Candle is a candle that fully engulfs the previous one, signaling a potential shift in control — either a trend continuation or a trend reversal.
This multi–timeframe framework gives traders a structured way to visualize displacement, pullbacks, and momentum shifts between timeframes.
⚙️ How It Works
Each OC is drawn as a box showing:
High & Low → The candle’s full range
Open Line (black) → Key control level
Midline (white) → Candle equilibrium
Optional labels for timeframe and session
You can enable up to 3 timeframes (e.g., 30m / 1H / 4H) and adjust how many OCs to display for each.
📈 Trading Framework
🔹 Continuation Setup (Trend Following)
1. 4H Bias → Bullish or Bearish
Identify clear trend structure (HH/HL = bullish, LH/LL = bearish).
Confirm strong displacement and visible gaps between OCs — signs of momentum and healthy trend continuation.
2. 1H Confirmation OC
OC forms in the direction of the 4H bias, confirming control.
3. 30min Pullback OC
Opposite–colored OC appears → represents the pullback.
4. Entry Trigger
A yellow candle closes beyond the 30min OC open line, confirming the end of the pullback.
→ Enter in trend direction.
🎯 Targets
Target 1: Next 1H OC high or low (in trend direction)
Target 2: Next 4H OC high or low
🛑 Stop: Beyond the 30min OC’s opposite wick
🔹 Reversal Setup (Trend Shift)
1. 4H Structure → Extended or Losing Momentum
When there are no higher–timeframe gaps and no displacement, momentum weakens — often a sign of potential reversal.
2. Opposing OC Forms on HTF
A strong engulfing OC appears against the previous trend at a key structural level.
3. Lower–Timeframe Alignment
1H and 30min OCs begin forming in the new direction, confirming control shift.
4. Entry Trigger
Break of the lower–timeframe OC open line signals the reversal confirmation.
🟢 Example: Bullish Reversal
4H downtrend shows compression (no displacement)
4H bullish OC forms at support
30min breaks above a bearish OC’s open line → Go long
🔴 Example: Bearish Reversal
4H uptrend stalls at resistance
4H bearish OC forms
30min breaks below a bullish OC’s open line → Go short
🎯 Targets
Target 1: Nearest opposing 1H OC high/low
Target 2: Major 4H structural high/low
🛑 Stop: Beyond the reversal OC wick
🧠 Key Concepts
Displacement = Strength. Strong, impulsive moves with clear gaps between OCs show continuation.
Compression = Weakness. Overlapping candles and no HTF displacement often hint at reversal.
OC = Control Candle. The open line is the “line in the sand” — when price breaks it, control flips.
Multi–TF Confluence = Precision. 4H → 1H → 30m gives you structure → confirmation → entry accuracy.
🎨 Features
✅ Multi–Timeframe OC detection (default: 30m / 1H / 4H)
✅ Bullish & Bearish boxes with open and midlines
✅ Break candles highlighted yellow
✅ Optional labels (timeframe + session)
✅ Session filters (Asia, London, NYAM, NYPM)
✅ Fully customizable visuals and extension lengths
Order Blocks Zones with Signals█ OVERVIEW
“Order Blocks Zones with Signals” is a technical analysis tool that automatically identifies Order Blocks (OB) and optionally Fair Value Gaps (FVG) on the chart.
The script visualizes these zones as colored rectangles, offering full customization of style, transparency, and signal display.
It also generates entry and exit signals (Break & Exit) that can serve as confirmations in strategies based on price action and market structure.
Thanks to flexible candle size filters and rich visual options, the indicator maintains chart clarity and readability.
█ CONCEPTS
Order Blocks (OB) are key zones on the chart where significant price movements previously occurred — areas where large market participants (institutions, so-called smart money) initiated or closed positions.
An OB is the last candle that followed the prior trend before the market reversed (e.g., for a Bullish OB: the last bearish candle before a pivot low and a strong upward impulse).
The script detects these levels using local price pivots, analyzing candle direction to filter out less significant movements.
FVG (Fair Value Gaps) represent areas of imbalance between buyers and sellers — price gaps formed by a sharp impulse where full trading did not occur due to one-sided order dominance (e.g., excess buy or sell orders).
Why combine OB and FVG in one indicator?
Combining OB and FVG analysis is essential because these phenomena often occur sequentially in the institutional market cycle:
1. Order Block — institutions enter the market in the OB zone, absorbing orders and building positions.
2. Strong impulse — after smart money entry, a rapid price move creates an FVG (imbalance gap).
3. Retest — price naturally returns to these zones (OB or FVG), drawn by unfilled orders and the search for equilibrium.
Such areas strongly attract price, as they represent not only historical institutional levels but also open “holes” in the order book. Retests of OB and FVG are ideal entry opportunities with high reaction probability (rebound or breakout). The indicator combines these two interconnected elements, enabling comprehensive market structure analysis in a single tool.
Order Blocks are labeled as:
Bullish OB – demand zones, often accumulation areas before an upmove.
Bearish OB – supply zones, signaling potential impulse end or correction start.
█ FEATURES
Order Block Detection (OB Detection):
- Automatic identification of demand and supply zones based on pivots.
- OB is the last candle aligned with the prior trend, just before the market reversal — precisely identified through candle sequence analysis around the pivot.
- OB zones appear with a delay equal to Pivot Length (default 10 bars).
- Break signals trigger when a candle’s body (close) fully pierces the zone, causing the zone to disappear immediately (e.g., close < low of Bullish OB → Break Down and zone deletion).
- Minimum size filtering via OB Size Multiplier.
- Option to create OB without wicks (Include Wicks in OB): when disabled, OB zones are based solely on candle bodies (open/close), ignoring wicks (high/low).
Fair Value Gap Detection (FVG Detection):
- Optional, with enable/disable capability.
- FVG are detected without delay — immediately upon gap occurrence.
- Size filtering via Candle Size Period and FVG Size Multiplier.
Customizable Styling:
- Separate colors and border styles (Solid / Dashed / Dotted) for each zone type.
- Adjustable transparency and border thickness.
- Unified color for box, border, and signal of the same type.
Breakout and Exit Signals:
- Break Up – triggered when a candle’s close breaks above a Bearish OB, causing the zone to disappear.
- Break Down – triggered when a candle’s close breaks below a Bullish OB, causing the zone to disappear.
- Exit Up / Exit Down – temporary exit from the zone without full breakout (price leaves the zone but doesn’t close beyond it). Signal type selection: Break, Exit, or Both.
- Alerts: built-in alerts for all signal types — triggered automatically on candle close confirming breakout or exit from OB.
█ HOW TO USE
Adding to chart: import the code into Pine Editor and run the script on TradingView.
Settings configuration:
- Pivot Length: controls swing detection sensitivity and OB display delay (default 10).
- Include Wicks in OB: enabled (default) – OB includes wicks; disabled – OB uses bodies only.
- Size Filter: adjust Candle Size Period and OB/FVG Size Multiplier to filter out small zones.
- Colors & Styles: set colors, styles, and transparency for each zone type.
- Signal Type: choose which signals to display (Break, Exit, or Both).
Signal interpretation:
- OB Break Up: price closes above Bearish OB → zone disappears → potential bullish continuation.
- OB Break Down: price closes below Bullish OB → zone disappears → potential bearish continuation.
- Exit Signals: price leaves the zone temporarily without breakout — often signals impending reversal or pullback.
Tips:
- Use OB signals alongside other indicators like RSI, MACD, SMI, or trend filters.
- Order Blocks from higher timeframes (e.g., 4H, 1D) carry greater significance and reaction strength.
- Remember: FVG are detected immediately, OB with delay — a complementary approach!
█ APPLICATIONS
- Smart Money Concepts (SMC): use OB zones as dynamic support and resistance levels. In an uptrend, look for buy opportunities in bullish OBs, which price often retests before further gains. Combining with RSI, MACD, or Fibonacci levels enhances zone significance, confirming institutional demand.
- Breakout Trading: trade based on OB breakout signals. A buy signal after breaking a bearish OB may indicate a strong upward impulse, especially if supported by rising MACD or RSI above 50. Similarly for sell signals after Break Down.
- Reversal Zones: Exit signals may indicate the end of a move or correction. Safest to use in alignment with higher-timeframe trend and confirmed by another indicator (e.g., RSI divergence, Fibonacci levels).
- Confluence Analysis: combine OB and FVG for deeper market structure and equilibrium insight. When an Order Block overlaps or borders an FVG, we get confluence of two institutional phenomena — OB (smart money entry) + FVG (imbalance) — making these areas particularly strong price magnets, increasing retest and reaction probability.
█ NOTES
- FVG can be fully disabled for a cleaner chart view.
- In consolidation periods, signals may appear more frequently — always confirm with additional trend filters.
- Works on all markets and timeframes (crypto, forex, indices, stocks).
pine script tradingbot - many ema oscillator## 🧭 **Many EMA Oscillator (TradingView Pine Script Indicator)**
*A multi-layer EMA differential oscillator for trend strength and momentum analysis*
---
### 🧩 **Overview**
The **Many EMA Oscillator** is a **TradingView Pine Script indicator** designed to help traders visualize **trend direction**, **momentum strength**, and **multi-timeframe EMA alignment** in one clean oscillator panel.
It’s a **custom EMA-based trend indicator** that shows how fast or slow different **Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs)** are expanding or contracting — helping you identify **bullish and bearish momentum shifts** early.
This **Pine Script EMA indicator** is especially useful for traders looking to combine multiple **EMA signals** into one **momentum oscillator** for better clarity and precision.
---
### ⚙️ **How It Works**
1. **Multiple EMA Layers:**
The indicator calculates seven **EMAs** (default: 20, 50, 100, 150, 200, 300) and applies a **smoothing filter** using another EMA (default smoothing = 20).
This removes short-term noise and gives a smoother, professional-grade momentum reading.
2. **EMA Gap Analysis:**
The oscillator measures the **difference between consecutive EMAs**, revealing how trend layers are separating or converging.
```
diff1 = EMA(20) - EMA(50)
diff2 = EMA(50) - EMA(100)
diff3 = EMA(100) - EMA(150)
diff4 = EMA(150) - EMA(200)
diff5 = EMA(200) - EMA(300)
```
These gaps (or “differentials”) show **trend acceleration or compression**, acting like a **multi-EMA MACD system**.
3. **Color-Coded Visualization:**
Each differential (`diff1`–`diff5`) is plotted as a **histogram**:
- 🟢 **Green bars** → EMAs expanding → bullish momentum growing
- 🔴 **Red bars** → EMAs contracting → bearish momentum or correction
This gives a clean, compact view of **trend strength** without cluttering your chart.
4. **Automatic Momentum Signals:**
- **🟡 Up Triangle** → All EMA gaps increasing → strong bullish trend alignment
- **⚪ Down Triangle** → All EMA gaps decreasing → trend weakening or bearish transition
---
### 📊 **Inputs**
| Input | Default | Description |
|-------|----------|-------------|
| `smmoth_emas` | 20 | Smoothing factor for all EMAs |
| `Length2`–`Length7` | 20–300 | Adjustable EMA periods |
| `Length21`, `Length31`, `Length41`, `Length51` | Optional | For secondary EMA analysis |
---
### 🧠 **Interpretation Guide**
| Observation | Meaning |
|--------------|----------|
| Increasing green bars | Trend acceleration and bullish continuation |
| Decreasing red bars | Trend exhaustion or sideways consolidation |
| Yellow triangles | All EMA layers aligned bullishly |
| White triangles | All EMA layers aligned bearishly |
This **EMA oscillator for TradingView** simplifies **multi-EMA trading strategies** by showing alignment strength in one place.
It works great for **swing traders**, **scalpers**, and **trend-following systems**.
---

SMC Structures and Multi-Timeframe FVG PYSMC Structures and Multi-Timeframe FVG Indicator
Tip: For optimal performance, adjust the number of FVGs displayed per timeframe in the settings. On high-performance devices, up to 8 FVGs per timeframe can be used without issues. If you experience slowdowns, reduce to 3 or 4 FVGs per timeframe. If the chart flashes, disable indicators one by one to identify conflicts, or try using the TradingView Mobile or Windows App for a smoother experience.
Overview
This Pine Script indicator enhances market analysis by integrating Smart Money Concepts (SMC) with Fair Value Gaps (FVG) across multiple timeframes. It identifies trend continuations (Break of Structure, BOS) and trend reversals (Change of Character, CHoCH) while highlighting liquidity zones through FVG detection. The indicator includes eight customizable Moving Average (MA) curve templates, disabled by default, to complement SMC and FVG analysis. Its originality lies in combining multi-timeframe FVG detection with SMC structure analysis, providing traders with a cohesive tool to visualize price action patterns and liquidity zones efficiently.
Features and Functionality
1. Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
The indicator detects and displays bullish, bearish, and mitigated FVGs, representing liquidity zones where price inefficiencies occur. These gaps are dynamically updated based on price action:
Bullish FVG: Displayed in green when unmitigated, indicating potential upward liquidity zones.
Bearish FVG: Displayed in red when unmitigated, signaling potential downward liquidity zones.
Mitigated FVG: Shown in gray once the gap is partially filled by price action.
Fully Mitigated FVG: Automatically removed from the chart when the gap is fully filled, reducing visual clutter.
Users can customize the number of historical FVGs displayed via the settings, allowing focus on recent liquidity zones for targeted analysis.
2. SMC Structures
The indicator identifies key SMC price action patterns:
Break of Structure (BOS): Marked with gray lines, indicating trend continuation when price breaks a significant high or low.
Change of Character (CHoCH): Highlighted with yellow lines, signaling potential trend reversals when price fails to maintain the current structure.
High/Low Values: Blue lines denote the highest high and lowest low of the current structure, providing reference points for market context.
3. Multi-Timeframe FVG Analysis
A standout feature is the ability to analyze FVGs across multiple timeframes simultaneously. This allows traders to align higher-timeframe liquidity zones with lower-timeframe entries, improving trade precision. The indicator fetches FVG data from user-selected timeframes, displaying them cohesively on the chart.
4. Moving Average (MA) Templates
The indicator includes eight customizable MA curve templates in the Settings > Template section, disabled by default. These templates allow users to overlay MAs (e.g., SMA, EMA, WMA) to complement SMC and FVG analysis. Each template is pre-configured with different periods and types, enabling quick adaptation to various trading strategies, such as trend confirmation or dynamic support/resistance.
How It Works
The script processes price action to detect FVGs by analyzing three-candle patterns where a gap forms between the high/low of the first and third candles. Multi-timeframe data is retrieved using Pine Script’s request.security() function, ensuring accurate FVG plotting across user-defined timeframes. BOS and CHoCH are identified by tracking swing highs and lows, with logic to differentiate trend continuation from reversals. The MA templates are computed using standard Pine Script TA functions, with user inputs controlling visibility and parameters.
How to Use
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to any TradingView chart.
Configure Settings:
FVG Settings: Adjust the number of historical FVGs to display (default: 10). Enable/disable specific FVG types (bullish, bearish, mitigated).
Timeframe Selection: Choose up to three timeframes for FVG analysis (e.g., 1H, 4H, 1D) to align with your trading strategy.
Structure Settings: Toggle BOS (gray lines) and CHoCH (yellow lines) visibility. Adjust sensitivity for structure detection if needed.
MA Templates: Enable MA curves via the Template section. Select from eight pre-configured MA types and periods to suit your analysis.
Interpret Signals:
Use green/red FVGs for potential entry points targeting liquidity zones.
Monitor gray lines (BOS) for trend continuation and yellow lines (CHoCH) for reversal signals.
Align multi-timeframe FVGs with BOS/CHoCH for high-probability setups.
Optionally, use MA curves for trend confirmation or dynamic levels.
Clean Chart Usage: The indicator is designed to work standalone. Ensure no conflicting scripts are applied unless explicitly needed for your strategy.
Why This Indicator Is Unique
Unlike standalone FVG or SMC indicators, this script combines both concepts with multi-timeframe analysis, offering a comprehensive view of market structure and liquidity. The addition of customizable MA templates enhances flexibility, while the dynamic removal of mitigated FVGs keeps the chart clean. This mashup is purposeful, as it integrates complementary tools to streamline decision-making for traders using SMC strategies.

Keltner Channel Enhanced [DCAUT]█ Keltner Channel Enhanced
📊 ORIGINALITY & INNOVATION
The Keltner Channel Enhanced represents an important advancement over standard Keltner Channel implementations by introducing dual flexibility in moving average selection for both the middle band and ATR calculation. While traditional Keltner Channels typically use EMA for the middle band and RMA (Wilder's smoothing) for ATR, this enhanced version provides access to 25+ moving average algorithms for both components, enabling traders to fine-tune the indicator's behavior to match specific market characteristics and trading approaches.
Key Advancements:
Dual MA Algorithm Flexibility: Independent selection of moving average types for middle band (25+ options) and ATR smoothing (25+ options), allowing optimization of both trend identification and volatility measurement separately
Enhanced Trend Sensitivity: Ability to use faster algorithms (HMA, T3) for middle band while maintaining stable volatility measurement with traditional ATR smoothing, or vice versa for different trading strategies
Adaptive Volatility Measurement: Choice of ATR smoothing algorithm affects channel responsiveness to volatility changes, from highly reactive (SMA, EMA) to smoothly adaptive (RMA, TEMA)
Comprehensive Alert System: Five distinct alert conditions covering breakouts, trend changes, and volatility expansion, enabling automated monitoring without constant chart observation
Multi-Timeframe Compatibility: Works effectively across all timeframes from intraday scalping to long-term position trading, with independent optimization of trend and volatility components
This implementation addresses key limitations of standard Keltner Channels: fixed EMA/RMA combination may not suit all market conditions or trading styles. By decoupling the trend component from volatility measurement and allowing independent algorithm selection, traders can create highly customized configurations for specific instruments and market phases.
📐 MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
Keltner Channel Enhanced uses a three-component calculation system that combines a flexible moving average middle band with ATR-based (Average True Range) upper and lower channels, creating volatility-adjusted trend-following bands.
Core Calculation Process:
1. Middle Band (Basis) Calculation:
The basis line is calculated using the selected moving average algorithm applied to the price source over the specified period:
basis = ma(source, length, maType)
Supported algorithms include EMA (standard choice, trend-biased), SMA (balanced and symmetric), HMA (reduced lag), WMA, VWMA, TEMA, T3, KAMA, and 17+ others.
2. Average True Range (ATR) Calculation:
ATR measures market volatility by calculating the average of true ranges over the specified period:
trueRange = max(high - low, abs(high - close ), abs(low - close ))
atrValue = ma(trueRange, atrLength, atrMaType)
ATR smoothing algorithm significantly affects channel behavior, with options including RMA (standard, very smooth), SMA (moderate smoothness), EMA (fast adaptation), TEMA (smooth yet responsive), and others.
3. Channel Calculation:
Upper and lower channels are positioned at specified multiples of ATR from the basis:
upperChannel = basis + (multiplier × atrValue)
lowerChannel = basis - (multiplier × atrValue)
Standard multiplier is 2.0, providing channels that dynamically adjust width based on market volatility.
Keltner Channel vs. Bollinger Bands - Key Differences:
While both indicators create volatility-based channels, they use fundamentally different volatility measures:
Keltner Channel (ATR-based):
Uses Average True Range to measure actual price movement volatility
Incorporates gaps and limit moves through true range calculation
More stable in trending markets, less prone to extreme compression
Better reflects intraday volatility and trading range
Typically fewer band touches, making touches more significant
More suitable for trend-following strategies
Bollinger Bands (Standard Deviation-based):
Uses statistical standard deviation to measure price dispersion
Based on closing prices only, doesn't account for intraday range
Can compress significantly during consolidation (squeeze patterns)
More touches in ranging markets
Better suited for mean-reversion strategies
Provides statistical probability framework (95% within 2 standard deviations)
Algorithm Combination Effects:
The interaction between middle band MA type and ATR MA type creates different indicator characteristics:
Trend-Focused Configuration (Fast MA + Slow ATR): Middle band uses HMA/EMA/T3, ATR uses RMA/TEMA, quick trend changes with stable channel width, suitable for trend-following
Volatility-Focused Configuration (Slow MA + Fast ATR): Middle band uses SMA/WMA, ATR uses EMA/SMA, stable trend with dynamic channel width, suitable for volatility trading
Balanced Configuration (Standard EMA/RMA): Classic Keltner Channel behavior, time-tested combination, suitable for general-purpose trend following
Adaptive Configuration (KAMA + KAMA): Self-adjusting indicator responding to efficiency ratio, suitable for markets with varying trend strength and volatility regimes
📊 COMPREHENSIVE SIGNAL ANALYSIS
Keltner Channel Enhanced provides multiple signal categories optimized for trend-following and breakout strategies.
Channel Position Signals:
Upper Channel Interaction:
Price Touching Upper Channel: Strong bullish momentum, price moving more than typical volatility range suggests, potential continuation signal in established uptrends
Price Breaking Above Upper Channel: Exceptional strength, price exceeding normal volatility expectations, consider adding to long positions or tightening trailing stops
Price Riding Upper Channel: Sustained strong uptrend, characteristic of powerful bull moves, stay with trend and avoid premature profit-taking
Price Rejection at Upper Channel: Momentum exhaustion signal, consider profit-taking on longs or waiting for pullback to middle band for reentry
Lower Channel Interaction:
Price Touching Lower Channel: Strong bearish momentum, price moving more than typical volatility range suggests, potential continuation signal in established downtrends
Price Breaking Below Lower Channel: Exceptional weakness, price exceeding normal volatility expectations, consider adding to short positions or protecting against further downside
Price Riding Lower Channel: Sustained strong downtrend, characteristic of powerful bear moves, stay with trend and avoid premature covering
Price Rejection at Lower Channel: Momentum exhaustion signal, consider covering shorts or waiting for bounce to middle band for reentry
Middle Band (Basis) Signals:
Trend Direction Confirmation:
Price Above Basis: Bullish trend bias, middle band acts as dynamic support in uptrends, consider long positions or holding existing longs
Price Below Basis: Bearish trend bias, middle band acts as dynamic resistance in downtrends, consider short positions or avoiding longs
Price Crossing Above Basis: Potential trend change from bearish to bullish, early signal to establish long positions
Price Crossing Below Basis: Potential trend change from bullish to bearish, early signal to establish short positions or exit longs
Pullback Trading Strategy:
Uptrend Pullback: Price pulls back from upper channel to middle band, finds support, and resumes upward, ideal long entry point
Downtrend Bounce: Price bounces from lower channel to middle band, meets resistance, and resumes downward, ideal short entry point
Basis Test: Strong trends often show price respecting the middle band as support/resistance on pullbacks
Failed Test: Price breaking through middle band against trend direction signals potential reversal
Volatility-Based Signals:
Narrow Channels (Low Volatility):
Consolidation Phase: Channels contract during periods of reduced volatility and directionless price action
Breakout Preparation: Narrow channels often precede significant directional moves as volatility cycles
Trading Approach: Reduce position sizes, wait for breakout confirmation, avoid range-bound strategies within channels
Breakout Direction: Monitor for price breaking decisively outside channel range with expanding width
Wide Channels (High Volatility):
Trending Phase: Channels expand during strong directional moves and increased volatility
Momentum Confirmation: Wide channels confirm genuine trend with substantial volatility backing
Trading Approach: Trend-following strategies excel, wider stops necessary, mean-reversion strategies risky
Exhaustion Signs: Extreme channel width (historical highs) may signal approaching consolidation or reversal
Advanced Pattern Recognition:
Channel Walking Pattern:
Upper Channel Walk: Price consistently touches or exceeds upper channel while staying above basis, very strong uptrend signal, hold longs aggressively
Lower Channel Walk: Price consistently touches or exceeds lower channel while staying below basis, very strong downtrend signal, hold shorts aggressively
Basis Support/Resistance: During channel walks, price typically uses middle band as support/resistance on minor pullbacks
Pattern Break: Price crossing basis during channel walk signals potential trend exhaustion
Squeeze and Release Pattern:
Squeeze Phase: Channels narrow significantly, price consolidates near middle band, volatility contracts
Direction Clues: Watch for price positioning relative to basis during squeeze (above = bullish bias, below = bearish bias)
Release Trigger: Price breaking outside narrow channel range with expanding width confirms breakout
Follow-Through: Measure squeeze height and project from breakout point for initial profit targets
Channel Expansion Pattern:
Breakout Confirmation: Rapid channel widening confirms volatility increase and genuine trend establishment
Entry Timing: Enter positions early in expansion phase before trend becomes overextended
Risk Management: Use channel width to size stops appropriately, wider channels require wider stops
Basis Bounce Pattern:
Clean Bounce: Price touches middle band and immediately reverses, confirms trend strength and entry opportunity
Multiple Bounces: Repeated basis bounces indicate strong, sustainable trend
Bounce Failure: Price penetrating basis signals weakening trend and potential reversal
Divergence Analysis:
Price/Channel Divergence: Price makes new high/low while staying within channel (not reaching outer band), suggests momentum weakening
Width/Price Divergence: Price breaks to new extremes but channel width contracts, suggests move lacks conviction
Reversal Signal: Divergences often precede trend reversals or significant consolidation periods
Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
Keltner Channels work particularly well in multi-timeframe trend-following approaches:
Three-Timeframe Alignment:
Higher Timeframe (Weekly/Daily): Identify major trend direction, note price position relative to basis and channels
Intermediate Timeframe (Daily/4H): Identify pullback opportunities within higher timeframe trend
Lower Timeframe (4H/1H): Time precise entries when price touches middle band or lower channel (in uptrends) with rejection
Optimal Entry Conditions:
Best Long Entries: Higher timeframe in uptrend (price above basis), intermediate timeframe pulls back to basis, lower timeframe shows rejection at middle band or lower channel
Best Short Entries: Higher timeframe in downtrend (price below basis), intermediate timeframe bounces to basis, lower timeframe shows rejection at middle band or upper channel
Risk Management: Use higher timeframe channel width to set position sizing, stops below/above higher timeframe channels
🎯 STRATEGIC APPLICATIONS
Keltner Channel Enhanced excels in trend-following and breakout strategies across different market conditions.
Trend Following Strategy:
Setup Requirements:
Identify established trend with price consistently on one side of basis line
Wait for pullback to middle band (basis) or brief penetration through it
Confirm trend resumption with price rejection at basis and move back toward outer channel
Enter in trend direction with stop beyond basis line
Entry Rules:
Uptrend Entry:
Price pulls back from upper channel to middle band, shows support at basis (bullish candlestick, momentum divergence)
Enter long on rejection/bounce from basis with stop 1-2 ATR below basis
Aggressive: Enter on first touch; Conservative: Wait for confirmation candle
Downtrend Entry:
Price bounces from lower channel to middle band, shows resistance at basis (bearish candlestick, momentum divergence)
Enter short on rejection/reversal from basis with stop 1-2 ATR above basis
Aggressive: Enter on first touch; Conservative: Wait for confirmation candle
Trend Management:
Trailing Stop: Use basis line as dynamic trailing stop, exit if price closes beyond basis against position
Profit Taking: Take partial profits at opposite channel, move stops to basis
Position Additions: Add to winners on subsequent basis bounces if trend intact
Breakout Strategy:
Setup Requirements:
Identify consolidation period with contracting channel width
Monitor price action near middle band with reduced volatility
Wait for decisive breakout beyond channel range with expanding width
Enter in breakout direction after confirmation
Breakout Confirmation:
Price breaks clearly outside channel (upper for longs, lower for shorts), channel width begins expanding from contracted state
Volume increases significantly on breakout (if using volume analysis)
Price sustains outside channel for multiple bars without immediate reversal
Entry Approaches:
Aggressive: Enter on initial break with stop at opposite channel or basis, use smaller position size
Conservative: Wait for pullback to broken channel level, enter on rejection and resumption, tighter stop
Volatility-Based Position Sizing:
Adjust position sizing based on channel width (ATR-based volatility):
Wide Channels (High ATR): Reduce position size as stops must be wider, calculate position size using ATR-based risk calculation: Risk / (Stop Distance in ATR × ATR Value)
Narrow Channels (Low ATR): Increase position size as stops can be tighter, be cautious of impending volatility expansion
ATR-Based Risk Management: Use ATR-based risk calculations, position size = 0.01 × Capital / (2 × ATR), use multiples of ATR (1-2 ATR) for adaptive stops
Algorithm Selection Guidelines:
Different market conditions benefit from different algorithm combinations:
Strong Trending Markets: Middle band use EMA or HMA, ATR use RMA, capture trends quickly while maintaining stable channel width
Choppy/Ranging Markets: Middle band use SMA or WMA, ATR use SMA or WMA, avoid false trend signals while identifying genuine reversals
Volatile Markets: Middle band and ATR both use KAMA or FRAMA, self-adjusting to changing market conditions reduces manual optimization
Breakout Trading: Middle band use SMA, ATR use EMA or SMA, stable trend with dynamic channels highlights volatility expansion early
Scalping/Day Trading: Middle band use HMA or T3, ATR use EMA or TEMA, both components respond quickly
Position Trading: Middle band use EMA/TEMA/T3, ATR use RMA or TEMA, filter out noise for long-term trend-following
📋 DETAILED PARAMETER CONFIGURATION
Understanding and optimizing parameters is essential for adapting Keltner Channel Enhanced to specific trading approaches.
Source Parameter:
Close (Most Common): Uses closing price, reflects daily settlement, best for end-of-day analysis and position trading, standard choice
HL2 (Median Price): Smooths out closing bias, better represents full daily range in volatile markets, good for swing trading
HLC3 (Typical Price): Gives more weight to close while including full range, popular for intraday applications, slightly more responsive than HL2
OHLC4 (Average Price): Most comprehensive price representation, smoothest option, good for gap-prone markets or highly volatile instruments
Length Parameter:
Controls the lookback period for middle band (basis) calculation:
Short Periods (10-15): Very responsive to price changes, suitable for day trading and scalping, higher false signal rate
Standard Period (20 - Default): Represents approximately one month of trading, good balance between responsiveness and stability, suitable for swing and position trading
Medium Periods (30-50): Smoother trend identification, fewer false signals, better for position trading and longer holding periods
Long Periods (50+): Very smooth, identifies major trends only, minimal false signals but significant lag, suitable for long-term investment
Optimization by Timeframe: 1-15 minute charts use 10-20 period, 30-60 minute charts use 20-30 period, 4-hour to daily charts use 20-40 period, weekly charts use 20-30 weeks.
ATR Length Parameter:
Controls the lookback period for Average True Range calculation, affecting channel width:
Short ATR Periods (5-10): Very responsive to recent volatility changes, standard is 10 (Keltner's original specification), may be too reactive in whipsaw conditions
Standard ATR Period (10 - Default): Chester Keltner's original specification, good balance between responsiveness and stability, most widely used
Medium ATR Periods (14-20): Smoother channel width, ATR 14 aligns with Wilder's original ATR specification, good for position trading
Long ATR Periods (20+): Very smooth channel width, suitable for long-term trend-following
Length vs. ATR Length Relationship: Equal values (20/20) provide balanced responsiveness, longer ATR (20/14) gives more stable channel width, shorter ATR (20/10) is standard configuration, much shorter ATR (20/5) creates very dynamic channels.
Multiplier Parameter:
Controls channel width by setting ATR multiples:
Lower Values (1.0-1.5): Tighter channels with frequent price touches, more trading signals, higher false signal rate, better for range-bound and mean-reversion strategies
Standard Value (2.0 - Default): Chester Keltner's recommended setting, good balance between signal frequency and reliability, suitable for both trending and ranging strategies
Higher Values (2.5-3.0): Wider channels with less frequent touches, fewer but potentially higher-quality signals, better for strong trending markets
Market-Specific Optimization: High volatility markets (crypto, small-caps) use 2.5-3.0 multiplier, medium volatility markets (major forex, large-caps) use 2.0 multiplier, low volatility markets (bonds, utilities) use 1.5-2.0 multiplier.
MA Type Parameter (Middle Band):
Critical selection that determines trend identification characteristics:
EMA (Exponential Moving Average - Default): Standard Keltner Channel choice, Chester Keltner's original specification, emphasizes recent prices, faster response to trend changes, suitable for all timeframes
SMA (Simple Moving Average): Equal weighting of all data points, no directional bias, slower than EMA, better for ranging markets and mean-reversion
HMA (Hull Moving Average): Minimal lag with smooth output, excellent for fast trend identification, best for day trading and scalping
TEMA (Triple Exponential Moving Average): Advanced smoothing with reduced lag, responsive to trends while filtering noise, suitable for volatile markets
T3 (Tillson T3): Very smooth with minimal lag, excellent for established trend identification, suitable for position trading
KAMA (Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average): Automatically adjusts speed based on market efficiency, slow in ranging markets, fast in trends, suitable for markets with varying conditions
ATR MA Type Parameter:
Determines how Average True Range is smoothed, affecting channel width stability:
RMA (Wilder's Smoothing - Default): J. Welles Wilder's original ATR smoothing method, very smooth, slow to adapt to volatility changes, provides stable channel width
SMA (Simple Moving Average): Equal weighting, moderate smoothness, faster response to volatility changes than RMA, more dynamic channel width
EMA (Exponential Moving Average): Emphasizes recent volatility, quick adaptation to new volatility regimes, very responsive channel width changes
TEMA (Triple Exponential Moving Average): Smooth yet responsive, good balance for varying volatility, suitable for most trading styles

USAGE NOTES
This indicator is designed for technical analysis and educational purposes. Keltner Channel Enhanced has limitations and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions. While the flexible moving average selection for both trend and volatility components provides valuable adaptability across different market conditions, algorithm performance varies with market conditions, and past characteristics do not guarantee future results.
Key considerations:
Always use multiple forms of analysis and confirmation before entering trades
Backtest any parameter combination thoroughly before live trading
Be aware that optimization can lead to curve-fitting if not done carefully
Start with standard EMA/RMA settings and adjust only when specific conditions warrant
Understand that no moving average algorithm can eliminate lag entirely
Consider market regime (trending, ranging, volatile) when selecting parameters
Use ATR-based position sizing and risk management on every trade
Keltner Channels work best in trending markets, less effective in choppy conditions
Respect the trend direction indicated by price position relative to basis line
The enhanced flexibility of dual algorithm selection provides powerful tools for adaptation but requires responsible use, thorough understanding of how different algorithms behave under various market conditions, and disciplined risk management.

The Momentum Confluence Detector transforms complex market analysis into clear, actionable signals by requiring multiple forms of confirmation before highlighting trading opportunities.
Gap Detector (Body and Candle)Finds/Detects gaps between candles and candle bodies for any chart/timeframe with O(n+delta) performance.
Candle Gaps (between wicks) act as strong support or resistance. They are drawn as solid boxes.
Body Gaps (ignores wicks) act as mild support or resistance. They are depicted with lines.
Adjust the settings for candle/body gap width, smaller the time frame, smaller the gap.
Adjust max historical bars to fine tune performance on your system/setup. The more historical bars the script scans, more time required to load the chart. At times based on system configuration, TradingView may timeout the script due to too many bars. Reducing the max bars helps in this scenario.
This is a revamped version of "Body Gap Detector".

IFVG ExtendedThis indicator identifies and visualizes "Imbalance Fair Value Gaps" (IFVGs) on a price chart. It highlights these gaps, tracks their evolution, and signals when they are "filled" or "invalidated" by price action. The script is quite advanced, using custom types, arrays, and dynamic drawing.
1. Types and Variables
Custom Types:
lab: Stores label information (x, y, direction).
fvg: Stores Fair Value Gap data, including its boundaries, direction, state, labels, and other properties.
Arrays:
Four arrays track bullish and bearish FVGs, and their "invalidated" (filled) versions.
Signals:
Boolean variables to store if a bullish or bearish signal is triggered.
2. User Inputs and Parameters
Display Settings:
How many recent FVGs to show, signal preference (close or wick), ATR multiplier for gap size filtering, and colors for bullish/bearish/midline.
3. Chart Data
Price Data:
Open, high, low, close, and ATR (Average True Range) are stored for use in calculations.
4. Functions
label_maker:
Draws an up or down arrow label at a given point, colored for bullish or bearish.
fvg_manage:
Checks if any FVGs in the array have been "invalidated" (i.e., price has crossed their boundary). If so, moves them to the invalidated array.
inv_manage:
Manages invalidated FVGs, checking if a signal should be fired (i.e., price has reacted to the gap). Also removes old FVGs.
send_it:
Draws the FVGs and their labels on the chart, using boxes and lines for visualization.
5. Main Logic and Visualization
FVG Detection:
On each bar, checks for new bullish or bearish FVGs based on price action and ATR filter.
Adds new FVGs to the appropriate array.
FVG Management:
Updates the arrays, moves invalidated FVGs, and checks for signals.
Drawing:
On the last bar, clears all previous drawings and redraws the current FVGs and their labels.
6. Alerts
Alert Conditions:
Sets up alerts for when a bullish or bearish IFVG signal is triggered, so users can be notified.
Summary
In short:
This script automatically finds and tracks "Imbalance Fair Value Gaps" on your chart, highlights them, and alerts you when price interacts with them in a significant way. It uses advanced Pine Script features to manage and visualize these zones dynamically, helping traders spot potential reversal or continuation points based on gap theory
Ultimate Market Structure [Alpha Extract]Ultimate Market Structure
A comprehensive market structure analysis tool that combines advanced swing point detection, imbalance zone identification, and intelligent break analysis to identify high-probability trading opportunities.Utilizing a sophisticated trend scoring system, this indicator classifies market conditions and provides clear signals for structure breaks, directional changes, and fair value gap detection with institutional-grade precision.
🔶 Advanced Swing Point Detection
Identifies pivot highs and lows using configurable lookback periods with optional close-based analysis for cleaner signals. The system automatically labels swing points as Higher Highs (HH), Lower Highs (LH), Higher Lows (HL), and Lower Lows (LL) while providing advanced classifications including "rising_high", "falling_high", "rising_low", "falling_low", "peak_high", and "valley_low" for nuanced market analysis.
swingHighPrice = useClosesForStructure ? ta.pivothigh(close, swingLength, swingLength) : ta.pivothigh(high, swingLength, swingLength)
swingLowPrice = useClosesForStructure ? ta.pivotlow(close, swingLength, swingLength) : ta.pivotlow(low, swingLength, swingLength)
classification = classifyStructurePoint(structureHighPrice, upperStructure, true)
significance = calculateSignificance(structureHighPrice, upperStructure, true)
🔶 Significance Scoring System
Each structure point receives a significance level on a 1-5 scale based on its distance from previous points, helping prioritize the most important levels. This intelligent scoring system ensures traders focus on the most meaningful structure breaks while filtering out minor noise.
🔶 Comprehensive Trend Analysis
Calculates momentum, strength, direction, and confidence levels using volatility-normalized price changes and multi-timeframe correlation. The system provides real-time trend state tracking with bullish (+1), bearish (-1), or neutral (0) direction assessment and 0-100 confidence scoring.
// Calculate trend momentum using rate of change and volatility
calculateTrendMomentum(lookback) =>
priceChange = (close - close ) / close * 100
avgVolatility = ta.atr(lookback) / close * 100
momentum = priceChange / (avgVolatility + 0.0001)
momentum
// Calculate trend strength using multiple timeframe correlation
calculateTrendStrength(shortPeriod, longPeriod) =>
shortMA = ta.sma(close, shortPeriod)
longMA = ta.sma(close, longPeriod)
separation = math.abs(shortMA - longMA) / longMA * 100
strength = separation * slopeAlignment
❓How It Works
🔶 Imbalance Zone Detection
Identifies Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) between consecutive candles where price gaps create unfilled areas. These zones are displayed as semi-transparent boxes with optional center line mitigation tracking, highlighting potential support and resistance levels where institutional players often react.
// Detect Fair Value Gaps
detectPriceImbalance() =>
currentHigh = high
currentLow = low
refHigh = high
refLow = low
if currentOpen > currentClose
if currentHigh - refLow < 0
upperBound = currentClose - (currentClose - refLow)
lowerBound = currentClose - (currentClose - currentHigh)
centerPoint = (upperBound + lowerBound) / 2
newZone = ImbalanceZone.new(
zoneBox = box.new(bar_index, upperBound, rightEdge, lowerBound,
bgcolor=bullishImbalanceColor, border_color=hiddenColor)
)
🔶 Structure Break Analysis
Determines Break of Structure (BOS) for trend continuation and Directional Change (DC) for trend reversals with advanced classification as "continuation", "reversal", or "neutral". The system compares pre-trend and post-trend states for each break, providing comprehensive trend change momentum analysis.
🔶 Intelligent Zone Management
Features partial mitigation tracking when price enters but doesn't fully fill zones, with automatic zone boundary adjustment during partial fills. Smart array management keeps only recent structure points for optimal performance while preventing duplicate signals from the same level.
🔶 Liquidity Zone Detection
Automatically identifies potential liquidity zones at key structure points for institutional trading analysis. The system tracks broken structure points and provides adaptive zone extension with configurable time-based limits for imbalance areas.
🔶 Visual Structure Mapping
Provides clear visual indicators including swing labels with color-coded significance levels, dashed lines connecting break points with BOS/DC labels, and break signals for continuation and reversal patterns. The adaptive zones feature smart management with automatic mitigation tracking.
🔶 Market Structure Interpretation
HH/HL patterns indicate bullish market structure with trend continuation likelihood, while LH/LL patterns signal bearish structure with downtrend continuation expected. BOS signals represent structure breaks in trend direction for continuation opportunities, while DC signals warn of potential reversals.
🔶 Performance Optimization
Automatic cleanup of old structure points (keeps last 8 points), recent break tracking (keeps last 5 break events), and efficient array management ensure smooth performance across all timeframes and market conditions.

MTF Candles [Fadi x MMT]MTF Candles
Overview
The MTF Candles indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders who want to visualize higher timeframe (HTF) candles directly on their current chart. Built with flexibility and precision in mind, this Pine Script indicator displays up to six higher timeframe candles, complete with customizable styling, sweeps, midpoints, fair value gaps (FVGs), volume imbalances, and trace lines. It’s perfect for multi-timeframe analysis, helping traders identify key levels, market structure, and potential trading opportunities with ease.
Key Features
- Multi-Timeframe Candles : Display up to six higher timeframe candles (e.g., 5m, 15m, 30m, 4H, 1D, 1W) on your chart, with configurable timeframes and visibility.
- Sweeps Detection : Identify liquidity sweeps (highs/lows) with customizable line styles, widths, and colors, plus optional alerts for confirmed bullish or bearish sweeps.
- Midpoint Lines : Plot the midpoint (average of high and low) of the previous HTF candle, with customizable color, width, and style for enhanced market analysis.
- Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) : Highlight gaps between non-adjacent candles, indicating potential areas of interest for price action.
- Volume Imbalances : Detect and display volume imbalances between adjacent candles, aiding in spotting significant price levels.
- Trace Lines : Connect HTF candle open, close, high, and low prices to their respective chart bars, with customizable styles and optional price labels.
- Custom Daily Open Times : Support for custom daily candle open times (Midnight, 8:30, or 9:30) to align with specific market sessions.
- Dynamic Labels : Show timeframe names, remaining time until the next HTF candle, and interval labels (e.g., day of the week for daily candles) with adjustable positions and sizes.
- Highly Customizable : Fine-tune candle appearance, spacing, padding, and visual elements to suit your trading style.
How It Works
The indicator renders HTF candles as boxes (bodies) and lines (wicks) on the right side of the chart, with each timeframe offset for clarity. It dynamically updates candles in real-time, tracks their highs and lows, and displays sweeps and midpoints when conditions are met. FVGs and volume imbalances are calculated based on candle relationships, and trace lines link HTF candle levels to their originating bars on the chart.
Sweep Logic
- A bearish sweep occurs when the current candle’s high exceeds the previous candle’s high, but the close is below it.
- A bullish sweep occurs when the current candle’s low falls below the previous candle’s low, but the close is above it.
- Sweeps are visualized as horizontal lines and can trigger alerts when confirmed on the next candle.
Midpoint Logic
- A midpoint line is drawn at the average of the previous HTF candle’s high and low, extending until the next HTF candle forms.
- Useful for identifying potential support/resistance or mean reversion levels.
Imbalance Detection
- FVGs : Identified when a candle’s low is above the next-but-one candle’s high (or vice versa), indicating a price gap.
- Volume Imbalances : Detected between adjacent candles where the body of one candle doesn’t overlap with the next, signaling potential liquidity zones.
