ArtiumPro Smart Money ConceptsSmart money concepts refer to the use of institutional trading strategies which align with the perspectives of Smart Money in the market. i.e. the composite man. Market Structure is the foundation of price action trading, understanding price action is fundamental to SMC.
ArtiumPro SMC 2.1 is an SMC (Smart Money Concepts) indicator full of features to aid SMC traders. Our aim is to save you time with automatic chart mark-up and help you spot areas of interest you may miss with the naked eye.
Fvg (Fair Value Gap) - is also known as an imbalance. An FVG is an imbalance of orders, for instance, for sellers to complete their trades, there must be buyers and vice versa so when a market receives too many of one kind of order buys or sells, and not enough of the order's counterpart. When the amount is not balanced and too many orders are put in for one direction, it creates an imbalance.
Multi timeframe FVG - this will show the same as above but on the higher timeframe you choose. It’ll show as 2 lines that show the higher timeframe fvg with a filled box that mitigates on entry.
Order Blocks - These are supply and demand zones, displayed typically as the last down/up candle before a move in the opposite direction. Great POI’s for entry and take profits.
Outside candle - this is a candle that sweeps the highs and lows of the previous candle, best used for the 1 hour or above these can indicate a change of price direction.
Previous day high & low
Not only does it show your previous day's low and high but it also shows your opening and close of the day. You have settings where you can turn off the open and close and just have daily highs and lows. It’s your choice within your settings.
Market Structure - We have packed this feature with options that are customizable for you,
Break of Structure (BOS) indicates a trend continuation.
Change of Character (CHoCH) indicates the first sign of a possible trend change.
Equal Highs/lows - this will mark your double/triple tops and bottoms.
Retracement - set this to your preferred retracement amount to customize your market structure to what you qualify as a valid pullback.
Elliott Wave ZigZag
Many people ask for the Elliott Waves. Well, here it is, inside this SMC. Just like your pivot highs and lows, the Elliott Wave is showing in real-time so you can see where your previous highs and lows are with the Elliott Wave break of structures that you can use in conjunction with the Smart Money Concepts Indicator of ArtiumPro.
Fib levels - for Premium & Discount areas - in this Instance the fib is used to determine if the price has pulled back into a premium or discount zone for optimal trade entry.
Trading Sessions
One of the most advanced trading session indicators out there and it’s included inside the most advanced SMC indicator on the market today. It has open breakout and settings to filter the opening range along with your pip daily range. You can select what timezone you are in and it automatically adjusts on the chart. Cool right? Hope you enjoy it, happy trading!

MTF previous high and low quarter levelsDescription
An experimental script that prints quarter levels of the previous timeframe's high and low to the current timeframe. The idea is quite simple and is basically the Fibonacci pivoted on the previous high and low with quarter level settings (0,0.25,0.5,0.75,1 etc). The default setting is the previous daily high and low but can be customized on user discretion.
New quarter levels are printed after the close of the previous timeframe and open of the new timeframe (user's timeframe setting)
How To Use
Levels should not be used blindly. Levels can be used as confluence when aligned with high probability supply and demand zones, support, resistance, order blocks, and so on.
Credit to @HeWhoMustNotBeNamed for the Previous High/Low MTF indicator code and @mrbirman for the idea to put this together.
ProConcepts (v-1.0.2)ProConcepts is a smart moeny concepts indicator that has several primary functions and features.
BOS Feature: BOS stands for break of structure and this is used to determine market structure support and resistance breakouts. The blue and red lines plot the pivot highs and lows on every time frame. When a trend is in a single direction and BOS appears, that is a strong sign that market structure is broken and the trend will continue.
CHOCH Feature: Similar to BOS the change of character feature is also a smart money concept where in a trend, CHOCH essentially is used to help determine a change of that trend with a low being violated in an uptrend or a high being violated in a downtrend. CHOCH is what determines the high lows of the trend.
Shaded Candle Feature: The candles are shaded either red or blue based on the trend. the CHOCH as discussed previously determines the trend and shades the candles blue and red according to the highs and lows.
Sessions Shading Feature: The background shading with lower opacity indicates a sessions feature that seperates the main trading sessions of the day, London, Asia, and New York. They are color coordinated and can be changed to fit your needs as a trader.
FVG Feature: FVG stands for fair value gap which is an area on the chart where there is a single directional movement either bullish for the blue FVG and bearish for the red FVG. These fvgs are strong areas of interest for rejections of price because they are agressive movements similar to an imbalance. The FVG should be used as a retest confirmation of a trend during a breakout of the BOS or a CHOCH.
High Low Feature: Disabled on the default chart is a a high low feature that marks all of the high lows of a trend so you can identify areas of support and resistance.
Advanced Volatility Activator [AlgoFuego]🔵 Advanced Volatility Activator (AVA)
The Advanced Volatility Activator (AVA) is an innovative technical analysis indicator designed to help traders identify and react to market volatility.
By blending adaptive volatility metrics with a refined moving‑average algorithm, the indicator offers traders a dynamically responsive framework for trend identification.
🔸Dynamic Volatility Analysis
The indicator examines the high and low prices of each candle to evaluate market movements.
It categorizes price movements into different states (e.g., outside bars, inside bars, higher highs, lower lows) to provide insight into market conditions, then calculates price averages for bars that make a new high or low price.
This moving average serves as a baseline for volatility adjustments, aligning the tool with well-established technical indicators.
🔸 Customizable Sensitivity
Through the input, users can fine‑tune how responsive the moving average is to price fluctuations.
A higher sensitivity setting makes the moving average less responsive to rapid market changes, enabling the indicator to adapt to different market environments and trading styles.
🔸Integrated Multi-Timeframe Table
A distinctive feature of this indicator is its integrated table display, which provides a summary signal across multiple time frames.
This table serves as a quick reference guide for traders to compare market trends across different time periods.
This at‑a‑glance view empowers traders to confirm trend direction from intraday to higher‑timeframe perspectives without switching charts.
🔹 How It Works
1. Initial Setup
The indicator defines two baseline values: the current high and the current low.
These serve as reference points for all subsequent price comparisons and moving‑average calculations.
2. Volatility Smoothing
The indicator calculates the smoothed volatility range using an exponential moving average (EMA) of the absolute differences between successive prices.
This helps smooth out the erratic price movements of the simple moving average and improves the measurement of volatility.
3. Trend Probability Calculation
A Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the combined high‑low series is calculated.
That SMA is then compared against the smoothed volatility range from step 2 to estimate how likely it is that a genuine trend is forming.
4. Directional Counters
Two counters: bullish and bearish, track consecutive moves up or down.
Whichever counter increases more rapidly signals the prevailing market bias.
5. Drawing the Trend Line
Finally, the code generates a trend line that dynamically adapts to real‑time volatility.
The result is a clear, responsive visual that mirrors actual market behavior.
🔹 Visual & Table Customization
Color Coding
Upward and downward trends are easily distinguished by customizable color settings, enhancing visual clarity for decision-making.
Upward Movements
A lighter blue hue indicates an upward trend.
Downward Movements
An orange hue indicates a downward trend.
Candlestick Highlighting
The indicator plots candlesticks with the same trendline color so that the chart maintains a consistent visual theme, thus reinforcing the signal's clarity.
Table Configuration and Customization
This additional layer of information helps traders compare signals between different time horizons, which is essential for a comprehensive multi-timeframe strategy.
The code supports multiple user-defined timeframes (e.g., 15, 60, 240, and 480 minutes).
For each timeframe, the indicator queries the market data to determine if the signal is Bullish, Bearish, or No signal.
Visibility and Positioning
The table can be toggled on or off via a user input. Its position on the chart is also customizable, ranging from top-right to bottom-left, allowing flexibility based on personal chart layouts.
Color Settings
The table cells are populated with both the timeframe labels and the corresponding market signal text (e.g., "Bullish", "Bearish", "No signal"). Background colors for each signal cell change dynamically depending on the current state, making it easy for traders to assess market sentiment at a glance.
Users can adjust colors for the background, borders, and text of the table itself.
Moreover, specific colors are set to denote bullish signals (blue), bearish signals (orange), or no signal (default dark theme).
🔹 How to use
Before entering long trades, ensure that prices are above the Advanced Volatility Activator Line and the line indicates an upward movement.
🔹 Practical Benefits
Enhanced Market Awareness
By highlighting periods of low volatility, the indicator can serve as an early warning system for potential market reversals or breakouts.
The supplementary table offers a high-level overview of these signals across multiple timeframes, which aids in confirming trends or reversals.
Customizable and Versatile
Both the indicator and the table are highly customizable. Traders can fine-tune the sensitivity, adjust periods for the moving average, select color schemes, and choose their preferred timeframes, all allowing for a tool that adapts to various trading styles and market conditions.
Intuitive Visualization
The clearly defined color-coded trendline provides an immediate visual cue, making it easier for traders to interpret market trends at a glance.
Whether you are a short-term trader needing precise entry and exit points or a multi-timeframe analyst looking for broader trend confirmation, this indicator provides valuable insights on both a micro- and macro-level.
🔹 Disclosure
While this indicator is useful and ideally suited for active traders who require precise, customizable signals to navigate rapidly changing markets, it's critical to understand that past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results, and there are many more factors that go into being a profitable trader.
Auto Fibonacci and Gann Fan/Retracements ComboIntroduction
This is a combination of Fibonacci and Gann fan/retracements.
The script can automatically draw as many:
Fibonacci Retracements
Fibonacci Fan
Gann Retracements
Gann Fan
as the user requires on the chart. Each level set or fan consists of 7 lines based on the most important ratios of Fibonacci/Gann.
Basics
What are Fibonacci retracements?
Fibonacci retracement levels are horizontal lines that indicate where support and resistance are likely to occur. They stem from Fibonacci’s sequence. Each level is associated with a percentage which is how much of a prior move the price has retraced. The Fibonacci retracement levels are 23.6%, 38.2%, 61.8%, and 78.6%. While not officially a Fibonacci ratio, 50% is also used. The indicator is useful because it can be drawn between any two significant price points, such as a high and a low. The indicator will then create the levels between those two points.
What are Gann retracements?
A developer of technical analysis and trading was W.D. Gann. Gann theory expects a normal retracement of 50 percent. This means that under normal selling pressure, the stock price will decline half the amount of its most recent rise, and vice versa. It also suggests that retracements occur at the halfway point of a move, such as 25 percent (half of 50 percent), 12.5 percent (half of 25 percent), and so on.
What is Fibonacci fan?
Fibonacci fan is a set of sequential trend lines drawn from a trough or peak through a set of points dictated by Fibonacci retracements. The first step to create it is to draw a trend line covering the local lowest and highest prices of a security. To reach retracement levels, the trader divides the difference in price at the low and high end by ratios determined by the Fibonacci series. The lines formed by connecting the starting point for the base trend line and each retracement level create the Fibonacci fan.
What is Gann fan?
A Gann fan consists of a series of lines called Gann angles. These angles are superimposed over a price chart to show potential support and resistance levels. The resulting image is supposed to help technical analysts predict price changes. Gann believed the 45-degree angle to be most important, but the Gann fan also draws angles at degrees like 75, 63.75, 26.25 and 15. The Gann fan originates at a low or high point. The resulting lines show areas of potential future support and resistance. The 45-degree line is known as the 1:1 line because the price will rise or fall at a 45-degree angle when the price moves up/down one unit for each unit of time. All other lines in the Gann fan are drawn above and below the 1:1 line. The other angles are associated with 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 8:1 and 1:8, 1:4, 1:3, and 1:2 time-to-price moves.
Challenges
The most of the time I dedicated to writing this script has been spent on handling these problems:
1. Finding Local Highest/Lowest Prices
In order to draw Fibonacci and Gann fan/retracements, it's necessary to find local highest and lowest price points (Extrema) on the chart. As this could be so challenging, most traders and coders draw the lines covering the low and high prices over a given period of time or a limited number of bars back instead. I already wrote an indicator using this approach ( Auto Fibonacci Combo ).
In this new script I tried to find the exact highest and lowest prices based on this idea that: if a high point is formed lower than previous high which was after a lowest point, then that previous one was the local highest point, and vice versa if a low point is formed higher than previous low which was after a highest point, then that previous one was the local lowest point. So logically an extremum price on the chart won't be found until the next high/low point is formed.
2. Finding Proper Chart Scale for Gann Fan
Based on the theory, Gann angles are sensitive to the chart price scale and in order to have the right angles, the chart must be made with the proper scale. J.A. Hyerczyk in his book "Pattern, Price & Time - Using Gann Theory in Technical Analysis" suggests that the easiest way to determine the scale of a market is by taking the difference between top-to-top and bottom-to-bottom and dividing it by the time it took the market to move from top to top and bottom to bottom.
Thus on a properly constructed chart, the basic equation for calculating Gann angles is: Price * Time.
3. Drawing Fans and Relocating Fan Labels at Each New Bar in Pine (A Programming-Related Subject)
To do this, I used linear equations and line slopes. Of course it was so complicated and exhausting, but finally I overcame that thanks to my genius cousin.
Settings and Usage
By default, the script shows detected extremum points plus 1 Fibonacci fan, 1 Gann fan, 1 set of Fibonacci retracements and no Gann retracements on the chart. All of these could be changed in the indicator settings beside the color and transparency of each line.

Gunzo Market SRGunzo Market SR is a set of 3 tools combined for trend analysis on day trading strategy.
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) :
The VWAP indicator is generally used for trend analysis. For example if the VWAP line is under the closing price for a long period of time, the trend is strong. In this script, the VWAP has been optimized for day trading as the indicator is calculated inside the daily range, and resets when a new day starts. This way the indicator reflects the daily trend and not the overall trend. You can also use the position of closing price according to the VWAP to find optimal entry points according to the indicator.
Highs / Lows :
The Highs / Lows are generally used for trend analysis too. The High / Lows are mainly used to identify prices that have been key during the past and that we can use as an indication for the following candles. In this script, the Highs / Lows are computed on the daily period and then displayed on the current period (recommended to use on a daily period or lower). This way the indicator reflects the highest point and the lowest point of the day (can be modified to have a longer range of pivot days even if I recommend to stay on 1 day for day trading).
Support / Resistance :
The Support / Resistance is generally used for trend analysis too. The Support / Resistance are found by searching local high and lows. The longer the supports and resistance are, the strongest it can be considered. In this script, the Highs / Lows are computed by default on a lower time frame (usually 3-4 times lower). For example on a 15 minute graph, the Highs / Lows will be computed on the 5 minute graph (can be modified if the displayed result is not optimized for your asset).
How to use this set of tools :
I personally recommend to use this tool at the start of your day of trading. This way you will get a clear vision of the daily situation and try to identify key prices and the trend for the current day. I then suggest to set up an alert on the key price to be notified when you're getting close to it.
TSI Strength Meter vs USD with divergenceThis indicator consists of two lines. One is a gray line (USD) and the asset indicator is green or red.
The basis of this indicator is the true strength indicator (TSI) with parameters 5,15. Both line sets are based on a TSI (5,15).
The lookback period is for new highs / new lows. Default value is 200 periods.
GREEN/RED LINE
The first that is green and red is whatever you choose to display ( BTC in this case).
The green and red lines indicate going up or going down.
GRAY LINE
The gray line is the US Dollar . So everything is relative to that by default.
ZERO LINE CROSSES
These are momentum shifts. If you see a crossover of both around the zero line, its a good indication there is a change in momentum and a reversal of trend.
NEW HIGHS NEW LOWS
There are 4 new colors added to this indicator. For the asset you are viewing, a lime color means new highs within the lookback period. A new low is indicated by a yellow line color.
The new lows for the USD are white for new lows within the lookback period and blue line for the new highs.
DIVERGENCE
You can also spot divergences easily. For example, if a lime color is seen on the indicator line, that means "new high" but if it occurs below the last "new high" it means the asset is going up to new highs but the indicator is showing us that the readings are below the previous new highs, indicating a negative divergence.
The same goes for the yellow colored lines. higher yellows mean positive divergence.
And with the US Dollar , blue lines dropping means a negative divergence in the US Dollar , while white lines moving up means a positive dollar divergence.
INTERPRETATION
Examples:
If you see a green and sometimes red line of the asset indicator and a gray line that drops below the zero line; it may mean the asset is rising and the trend is up.
If you see a green and red line below the zero line and with a gray line above the zero line , it indicates there is a negative trend. If you suddenly see blue lines on the USD, this means its hitting new lows. If these blue lines then start to slowly move downwards; then we have a positive divergence. If that were to be followed by the green line crossing the zero line, its a pretty good be that the trend is changing and its a very good buying oportunity.
RSI, Range, and Key Level Support Tool v2.1This indicator is actually 3 different indicators combined to be able to watch key levels such as daily/weekly/monthly opens, previous days and week range highs and lows, as well as see Oversold and Overbought conditions relating to the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
- RSI DOTS SYSTEM
The first part is a custom Relative Strength Index indicator that shows RSI dots above in Red and Below in Green of the bars.
As the RSI Dots go from dark and barely visible to bright and Red For Oversold or Green for Overbought it gives a direct representation above the bar chart of Overbought or Oversold conditions. The brighter the color, the closer to 100 (Overbought and Red) or 0 (Oversold and Green) the current RSI is.
As the Overbought and Oversold conditions reverse this will show a bright Yellow Dot over the bar if it crosses a value from Overbought conditions to not Overbought conditions and the same if it crosses from Oversold conditions to not oversold conditions. To put it simply, it shows RSI reversal.
- KEY LEVELS OPENS - Daily, Weekly, Monthly Opens
This is a simple line indicator that shows 3 key levels: Daily Open, Weekly Open, and Monthly Open.
These higher time frame key levels show precisely at what price that time frame opened based on 0 UTC.
- PREVIOUS HIGHS/LOWS
This part of the indicator will show the previous day and even week highs and lows. This will help the user establish a functional range of the previous days and weeks.
The highs and lows for the daily are rows of circles above and below the high and low for that specific day and the previous weekly range are rows of crosses above and below the high and low for the past week.
How to Best use the indicator:
The RSI dots will help the user find the tops and bottoms where the Key Levels Opens and Previous Highs and Lows will help the user establish the range.
Knowing where the local top/bottom is in correlation to the potential range tops and bottoms allows the user to effectively time trend reversals and potential tops/bottoms.
Volume Profile Free MAX SLI (50 Levels Value Area VWAP) by RRBVolume Profile Free MAX SLI by RagingRocketBull 2019
Version 1.0
All available Volume Profile Free MAX SLI versions are listed below (They are very similar and I don't want to publish them as separate indicators):
ver 1.0: style columns implementation
ver 2.0: style histogram implementation
ver 3.0: style line implementation
This indicator calculates Volume Profile for a given range and shows it as a histogram consisting of 50 horizontal bars.
It can also show Point of Control (POC), Developing POC, Value Area/VWAP StdDev High/Low as dynamically moving levels.
Free accounts can't access Standard TradingView Volume Profile, hence this indicator.
There are several versions: Free Pro, Free MAX SLI, Free History. This is the Free MAX SLI version. The Differences are listed below:
- Free Pro: 25 levels, +Developing POC, Value Area/VWAP High/Low Levels, Above/Below Area Dimming
- Free MAX SLI: 50 levels, packed to the limit, 2x SLI modes for Buy/Sell or even higher res 150 levels
- Free History: auto highest/lowest, historic poc/va levels for each session
Features:
- High-Res Volume Profile with up to 50 levels (3 implementations)
- 20-30x faster than the old Pro versions especially on lower tfs with long history
- 2x SLI modes for even higher res: 150 levels with 3x vertical SLI, 50 buy/sell levels with 2x horiz SLI
- Calculate Volume Profile on full history
- POC, Developing POC Levels
- Buy/Sell/Total volume modes
- Side Cover
- Value Area, VAH/VAL dynamic levels
- VWAP High/Low dynamic levels with Source, Length, StdDev as params
- Show/Hide all levels
- Dim Non Value Area Zones
- Custom Range with Highlighting
- 3 Anchor points for Volume Profile
- Flip Levels Horizontally
- Adjustable width, offset and spacing of levels
- Custom Color for POC/VA/VWAP levels and Transparency for buy/sell levels
Usage:
- specify max_level/min_level/spacing (required)
- select range (start_bar, range length), confirm with range highlighting
- select volume type: Buy/Sell/Total
- select mode Value Area/VWAP to show corresponding levels
- flip/select anchor point to position the buy/sell levels
- use Horiz SLI mode for 50 Buy/Sell or Vertical SLI for 150 levels if needed
- use POC/Developing POC/VA/VWAP High/Low as S/R levels. Usually daily values from 1-3 days back are used as levels for the current day.
SLI:
- use SLI modes to extend the functionality of the indicator:
- Horiz Buy/Sell 2x SLI lets you view 50 Buy/Sell Levels at the same time
- Vertical Max_Vol 3x SLI lets you increase the resolution to 150 levels
- you need at least 2 instances of the indicator attached to the same chart for SLI to work
1) Enable Horiz SLI:
- attach 2 indicator instances to the chart
- make sure all instances have the same min_level/max_level/range/spacing settings
- select volume type for each instance: you can have a buy/sell or buy/total or sell/total SLI. Make sure your buy volume instance is the last attached to be displayed on top of sell/total instances without overlapping.
- set buy_sell_sli_mode to true for indicator instances with volume_type = buy/sell, for type total this is optional.
- this basically tells the script to calculate % lengths based on total volume instead of individual buy/sell volumes and use ext offset for sell levels
- Sell Offset is calculated relative to Buy Offset to stack/extend sell after buy. Buy Offset = Zero - Buy Length. Sell Offset = Buy Offset - Sell Length = Zero - Buy Length - Sell Length
- there are no master/slave instances in this mode, all indicators are equal, poc/va levels are not affected and can work independently, i.e. one instance can show va levels, another - vwap.
2) Enable Vertical SLI:
- attach the first instance and evaluate the full range to roughly determine where is the highest max_vol/poc level i.e. 0..20000, poc is in the bottom half (third, middle etc) or
- add more instances and split the full vertical range between them, i.e. set min_level/max_level of each corresponding instance to 0..10000, 10000..20000 etc
- make sure all instances have the same range/spacing settings
- an instance with a subrange containing the poc level of the full range is now your master instance (bottom half). All other instances are slaves, their levels will be calculated based on the max_vol/poc of the master instance instead of local values
- set show_max_vol_sli to true for the master instance. for slave instances this is optional and can be used to check if master/slave max_vol values match and slave can read the master's value. This simply plots the max_vol value
- you can also attach all instances and set show_max_vol_sli to true in all of them - the instance with the largest max_vol should become the master
Auto/Manual Ext Max_Vol Modes:
- for auto vertical max_vol SLI mode set max_vol_sli_src in all slave instances to the max_vol of the master indicator: "VolumeProfileFree_MAX_RRB: Max Volume for Vertical SLI Mode". It can be tricky with 2+ instances
- in case auto SLI mode doesn't work - assign max_vol_sli_ext in all slave instances the max_vol value of the master indicator manually and repeat on each change
- manual override max_vol_sli_ext has higher priority than auto max_vol_sli_src when both values are assigned, when they are 0 and close respectively - SLI is disabled
- master/slave max_vol values must match on each bar at all times to maintain proper level scale, otherwise slave's levels will look larger than they should relative to the master's levels.
- Max_vol (red) is the last param in the long list of indicator outputs
- the only true max_vol/poc in this SLI mode is the master's max_vol/poc. All poc/va levels in slaves will be irrelevant and are disabled automatically. Slaves can only show VWAP levels.
- VA Levels of the master instance in this SLI mode are calculated based on the subrange, not the whole range. Cross check with the full range.
WARNING!
- auto mode max_vol_sli_src is experimental and may not work as expected
- you can only assign auto mode max_vol_sli_src = max_vol once due to some bug with unhandled exception/buffer overflow in Tradingview. Seems that you can clear the value only by removing the indicator instance
- sometimes you may see a "study in error state" error when attempting to set it back to close. Remove indicator/Reload chart and start from scratch
- volume profile may not finish to redraw and freeze in an ugly shape after an UI parameter change when max_vol_sli_src is assigned a max_vol value. Assign it to close - VP should redraw properly, but it may not clear the assigned max_vol value
- you can't seem to be able to assign a proper auto max_vol value to the 3rd slave instance
- 2x Vertical SLI works and tested in both auto/manual, 3x SLI - only manual seems to work
Notes:
- This code is 20x-30x faster (main for cycle is removed) especially on lower tfs with long history - only 2-3 sec load/redraw time vs 30-60 sec of the old Pro versions
- Instead of repeatedly calculating the total sum of volumes for the whole range on each bar, vol sums are now increased on each bar and passed to the next in the range making it a per range vs per bar calculation that reduces time dramatically
- hist_base for levels still results is ugly redraw
- if you don't see a volume profile check range settings: min_level/max_level and spacing, set spacing to 0 (or adjust accordingly based on the symbol's precision, i.e. 0.00001)
- you can view either of Buy/Sell/Total volumes, but you can't display Buy/Sell levels at the same time using a single instance (this would 2x reduce the number of levels). Use 2 indicator instances in horiz buy/sell sli mode for that.
- Volume Profile/Value Area are calculated for a given range and updated on each bar. Each level has a fixed length. Offsets control visible level parts. Side Cover hides the invisible parts.
- Custom Color for POC/VA/VWAP levels - UI Style color/transparency can only change shape's color and doesn't affect textcolor, hence this additional option
- Custom Width - UI Style supports only width <= 4, hence this additional option
- POC is visible in both modes. In VWAP mode Developing POC becomes VWAP, VA High and Low => VWAP High and Low correspondingly to minimize the number of plot outputs
- You can't change buy/sell level colors from input (only plot transparency) - this requires 2x plot outputs => 2x reduces the number of levels to fit the max 64 limit. That's why 2 additional plots are used to dim the non Value Area zones
- All buy/sell volume lengths are calculated as % of a fixed base width = 100 bars (100%). You can't set show_last from input to change it
- There's no such thing as buy/sell volume, there's just volume, but for the purposes of the Volume Profile method, assume: bull candle = buy volume, bear candle = sell volume
P.S. Gravitonium Levels Are Increasing. Unobtainium is nowhere to be found!

Volume Profile Free Pro (25 Levels Value Area VWAP) by RRBVolume Profile Free Pro by RagingRocketBull 2019
Version 1.0
All available Volume Profile Free Pro versions are listed below (They are very similar and I don't want to publish them as separate indicators):
ver 1.0: style columns implementation
ver 2.0: style histogram implementation
ver 3.0: style line implementation
This indicator calculates Volume Profile for a given range and shows it as a histogram consisting of 25 horizontal bars.
It can also show Point of Control (POC), Developing POC, Value Area/VWAP StdDev High/Low as dynamically moving levels.
Free accounts can't access Standard TradingView Volume Profile, hence this indicator.
There are 3 basic methods to calculate the Value Area for a session.
- original method developed by Steidlmayr (calculated around POC)
- classical method using StdDev (calculated around the mean VWAP)
- another method based on the mean absolute deviation (calculated around the median)
POC is a high volume node and can be used as support/resistance. But when far from the day's average price it may not be as good a trend filter as the other methods.
The 80% Rule: When the market opens above/below the Value Area and then returns/stays back inside for 2 consecutive 30min periods it has 80% chance of filling VA (like a gap).
There are several versions: Free, Free Pro, Free MAX. This is the Free Pro version. The Differences are listed below:
- Free: 30 levels, Buy/Sell/Total Volume Profile views, POC
- Free Pro: 25 levels, +Developing POC, Value Area/VWAP High/Low Levels, Above/Below Area Dimming
- Free MAX: 50 levels, packed to the limit
Features:
- Volume Profile with up to 25 levels (3 implementations)
- POC, Developing POC Levels
- Buy/Sell/Total/Side by Side View modes
- Side Cover
- Value Area, VAH/VAL dynamic levels
- VWAP High/Low dynamic levels with Source, Length, StdDev as params

- Dim Non Value Area Zones
- Custom Range with Highlighting
- 3 Anchor points for Volume Profile
- Flip Levels Horizontally
- Adjustable width, offset and spacing of levels
- Custom Color for POC/VA/VWAP levels and Transparency for buy/sell levels
Usage:
- specify max_level/min_level for a range (required in ver 1.0/2.0, auto/optional in ver 3.0 = set to highest/lowest)
- select range (start_bar, range length), confirm with range highlighting
- select mode Value Area or VWAP to show corresponding levels.
- flip/select anchor point to position the buy/sell levels, adjust width and spacing as needed
- select Buy/Sell/Total/Side by Side view mode
- use POC/Developing POC/VA/VWAP High/Low as S/R levels. Usually daily values from 1-3 days back are used as levels for the current day.
- Green - buy volume of a specific price level in a range, Red - sell volume. Green + Red = Total volume of a price level in a range
There's no native support for vertical histograms in Pinescript (with price axis as base)
Basically, there are 4 ways to plot a series of horizontal bars stacked on top of each other:
1. plotshape style labeldown (ver 0 prototype discarded)
- you can have a set of fixed width/height text labels consisting of a series of underscores and moving dynamically as levels. Level offset controls visible length.
- you can move levels and scale the base width of the volume profile histogram dynamically
- you can calculate the highest/lowest range values automatically. max_level/min_level inputs are optional
- you can't fill the gaps between levels/adjust/extend width, height - this results in a half baked volume profile and looks ugly
- fixed text level height doesn't adjust and looks bad on a log scale
- fixed font width also doesn't scale and can't be properly aligned with bars when zooming
2. plot style columns + hist_base (ver 1.0)
- you can plot long horizontal bars using a series of small adjacent vertical columns with level offsets controlling visible length.
- you can't hide/move levels of the volume profile histogram dynamically on each bar, they must be plotted at all times regardless - you can't delete the history of a plot.
- you can't scale the base width of the volume profile histogram dynamically, can't set show_last from input, must use a preset fixed width for each level
- hist_base can only be a static const expression, can't be assigned highest/lowest range values automatically - you have to specify max_level/min_level manually from input
- you can't control spacing between columns - there's an equalizer bar effect when you zoom in, and solid bars when you zoom out
- using hist_base for levels results in ugly load/redraw times - give it 3-5 sec to finalize its shape after each UI param change
- level top can be properly aligned with another level's bottom producing a clean good looking histogram
- columns are properly aligned with bars automatically
3. plot style histogram + hist_base (ver 2.0)
- you can plot long horizontal bars using a series of small vertical bars (horizontal histogram) instead of columns.
- you can control the width of each histogram bar comprising a level (spacing/horiz density). Large enough width will cause bar overlapping and give level a "solid" look regardless of zoom
- you can only set width <= 4 in UI Style - custom textbox input is provided for larger values. You can set width and plot transparency from input
- this method still uses hist_base and inherits other limitations of ver 2.0
4. plot style lines (ver 3.0)
- you can also plot long horizontal bars using lines with level offsets controlling visible length.
- lines don't need hist_base - fast and smooth redraw times
- you can calculate the highest/lowest range values automatically. max_level/min_level inputs are optional
- level top can't be properly aligned with another level's bottom and have a proper spacing because line width uses its own units and doesn't scale
- fixed line width of a level (vertical thickness) doesn't scale and looks bad on log (level overlapping)
- you can only set width <= 4 in UI Style, a custom textbox input is provided for larger values. You can set width and plot transparency from input
Notes:
- hist_base for levels results in ugly load/redraw times - give it 3-5 sec to finalize its shape after each UI param change
- indicator is slow on TFs with long history 10000+ bars
- Volume Profile/Value Area are calculated for a given range and updated on each bar. Each level has a fixed width. Offsets control visible level parts. Side Cover hides the invisible parts.
- Custom Color for POC/VA/VWAP levels - UI Style color/transparency can only change shape's color and doesn't affect textcolor, hence this additional option
- Custom Widh for levels - UI Style supports only width <= 4, hence this additional option
- POC is visible in both modes. In VWAP mode Developing POC becomes VWAP, VA High and Low => VWAP High and Low correspondingly to minimize the number of plot outputs
- You can't change buy/sell level colors (only plot transparency) - this requires 2x plot outputs exceeding max 64 limit. That's why 2 additional plots are used to dim the non Value Area zones
- Use Side by Side view to compare buy and sell volumes between each other: base width = max(total_buy_vol, total_sell_vol)
- All buy/sell volume lengths are calculated as % of a fixed base width = 100 bars (100%). You can't set show_last from input
- Sell Offset is calculated relative to Buy Offset to stack/extend sell on top of buy. Buy Offset = Zero - Buy Length. Sell Offset = Buy Offset - Sell Length = Zero - Buy Length - Sell Length
- If you see "loop too long error" - change some values in UI and it will recalculate - no need to refresh the chart
- There's no such thing as buy/sell volume, there's just volume, but for the purposes of the Volume Profile method, assume: bull candle = buy volume, bear candle = sell volume
- Volume Profile Range is limited to 5000 bars for free accounts

PivotBoss Outside Reversal SetupPATTERN SUMMARY
1. The engulfing bar of a bullish outside reversal setup has a low that is below the prior bar's low (L < L ) and a
close that is above the prior bar's high (C > H ).
2. The engulfing bar of a bearish outside reversal setup has a high that is above the prior bar's high (H > H )
and a close that is below the prior bar's low (C < L ).
3. The engulfing bar is usually 5 to 25 percent larger than the size of the average bar in the lookback period.
PATTERN PSYCHOLOGY
The power behind this pattern lies in the psychology behind the traders involved in this setup. If you have
ever participated in a breakout at support or resistance only to have the market reverse sharply against you, then
you are familiar with the market dynamics of this setup. What exactly is going on at these levels? To understand
this concept is to understand the outside reversal pattern. Basically, market participants are testing the waters
above resistance or below support to make sure there is no new business to be done at these levels. When no
initiative buyers or sellers participate in range extension, responsive participants have all the information they
need to reverse price back toward a new area of perceived value.
As you look at a bullish outside reversal pattern, you will notice that the current bar's low is lower than the
prior bar's low. Essentially, the market is testing the waters below recently established lows to see if a downside
follow-through will occur. When no additional selling pressure enters the market, the result is a flood of buying
pressure that causes a springboard effect, thereby shooting price above the prior bar's highs and creating the
beginning of a bullish advance.
If you recall the child on the trampoline for a moment, you'll realize that the child had to force the bounce
mat down before he could spring into the air. Also, remember Jennifer the cake baker? She initially pushed price
to $20 per cake, which sent a flood of orders into her shop. The flood of buying pressure eventually sent the price
of her cakes to $35 apiece. Basically, price had to test the $20 level before it could rise to $35.
Let's analyze the outside reversal setup in a different light for a moment. One of the reasons I like this setup
is because the two-bar pattern reduces into the wick reversal setup, which we covered earlier in the chapter. If
you are not familiar with candlestick reduction, the idea is simple. You are taking the price data over two or more
candlesticks and combining them to create a single candlestick. Therefore, you will be taking the open, high, low,
and close prices of the bars in question to create a single composite candlestick.
Take a look at Figure 2.13, which illustrates the candlestick reduction of the outside reversal setup.
Essentially, taking the highest high and the lowest low over the two-bar period gives you the range of the
composite candlestick. Then, taking the opening price of the first candle and the closing price of the last candle
will finish off the composite candlestick. Depending on the structure of the bars of the outside reversal setup, the
result of the candlestick reduction will usually be the transformation into a wick reversal setup, which we know to
be quite powerful. Therefore, in many cases the physiology of the outside reversal pattern basically demonstrates
the inherent psychological traits of the wick reversal pattern. This is just another level of analysis that reinforces
my belief in the outside reversal setup.
Fair Value Gap [PARALLEL INSIGHT]📌 Indicator Name:
ACE – Fair Value Gap (FVG) Unfilled Zone Detector | For SMC Traders
🧠 What is a Fair Value Gap (FVG)?
A Fair Value Gap (FVG) is a price imbalance commonly referenced in Smart Money Concepts (SMC) trading. It represents a portion of price action where no transaction occurred, usually due to a rapid price movement, creating a "gap" between candles.
An FVG typically forms over three consecutive candles:
Candle 1 sets the initial high/low
Candle 2 makes an aggressive move (often breaking structure)
Candle 3 fails to retrace back into Candle 1’s range
The result: a "gap" between Candle 1’s low and Candle 3’s high (bullish), or Candle 1’s high and Candle 3’s low (bearish). This zone is seen as a footprint of unfilled institutional orders, often revisited later by price for rebalancing.
🔍 Indicator Features:
✅ Automatic detection of both FVG types:
Bullish FVG: Candle 1 Low > Candle 3 High
Bearish FVG: Candle 1 High < Candle 3 Low
✅ Only displays FVGs that are not yet filled, filtering noise and highlighting current actionable zones.
✅ Smart FVG status tracking:
Once price enters the FVG zone (low breaks for bullish, high breaks for bearish), it is marked as filled.
You can choose whether to keep showing filled zones (as faded gray), or hide them completely.
✅ Fully customizable:
Toggle Bullish/Bearish FVG visibility
Enable/disable fill coloring
Adjust how many zones to keep on screen
Set distinct styles for filled/unfilled FVGs
🎯 Who Is This For?
This indicator is ideal for:
Smart Money Concepts (SMC) traders
ICT-style traders who follow institutional footprints
Price action and structure-based traders
Anyone seeking precise entry zones and gap re-tests
📈 Suggested Usage Flow:
To maximize the power of this FVG tool, apply the following process:
Define higher-timeframe bias using 1D / 4H / 1H
Mark key Order Blocks (OBs), FVGs, Liquidity zones, and S/R
Drop to 15m/5m to find structure break + unfilled FVG + entry candle
Use Fibonacci + OTE zones and Risk:Reward ratio for confluence
⚠️ Notes:
Works across all timeframes
No repainting logic – all FVGs are based on confirmed candle closes
This version does not include extended logic for "inverse breaks" or higher-order market structure; reach out to the author for advanced builds

Last 2 Days Key LevelsLast 2 Days Key Levels
Overview
This indicator is designed for intraday traders who leverage key historical price levels to identify potential support and resistance zones. It cleanly plots the most important levels from the previous two trading days, giving you a clear map of the price action and helping you anticipate potential turning points in the market.
The core principle is that the market has memory. The highs, lows, and calculated pivot points from previous sessions often remain significant and can act as powerful magnets or barriers for price in the current session. This script gives you a configurable and visually clean way to track these critical zones.
Key Features
Multi-Day Level Plotting: Display key levels not just from the prior day (PD), but also from two days ago (PD2), allowing you to track a deeper level of market structure.
Comprehensive Key Levels: For each historical day, the indicator plots:
High
Low
Mid-Point (the direct halfway point of the day's range)
Central Pivot Point (the average of the high, low, and close)
Premarket High/Low: Includes the high and low from the current day's premarket session, which are critical levels for morning trading.
Full Customization: Every level is fully configurable. Through a cleanly organized input menu, you can:
Toggle the visibility of each individual line (e.g., show only the highs and lows).
Customize the color, line style (solid, dotted, dashed), and thickness for each group of levels (Prior Day, 2-Day Prior, Premarket).
The Strategic Advantage: Why Track 2-Day Prior Levels?
While many traders focus exclusively on the previous day's levels, tracking the levels from two days ago provides a distinct strategic edge, especially in the early morning session.
In the opening minutes of trading, or even in the premarket, price action is often volatile and searching for direction. The market will frequently test not just yesterday's levels, but also the key zones from the day before. These "older" levels are often overlooked by other market participants, making them powerful hidden support and resistance zones.
By having the 2-day prior levels on your chart, you can:
Anticipate early session turning points that others might not see.
Identify stronger confirmation when a 2-day level aligns with a prior-day or premarket level.
Avoid being caught off guard by reactions to seemingly "random" price points that are, in fact, significant historical levels.
How to Use
Support & Resistance: Use the plotted lines as potential areas where price may bounce or reverse. Look for price to respect these levels for potential entry or exit signals.
Breakout & Breakdown Zones: A clean break and hold above a resistance level (or below a support level) can signal the start of a new directional move.
Targeting: The levels can serve as logical price targets for your trades.
All settings are organized into clear groups in the "Inputs" tab, allowing you to easily configure the indicator to your exact preferences.

Weekend High LowThe Weekend Range Indicator is a specialized tool designed to highlight the price range of an asset during the weekend period, offering traders valuable insights into market behaviour outside standard weekday trading hours. This indicator is particularly useful for analysing weekend price action, which can differ significantly from weekday movements due to factors like lower liquidity, market closures, or unique weekend events. It’s an ideal companion for assets like cryptocurrencies that trade 24/7, while also providing post-weekend analysis for other markets.
Purpose
Weekend price ranges often act as critical reference points for identifying potential support and resistance levels, breakout opportunities, or consolidation patterns. By clearly plotting the high and low prices over the weekend, this indicator helps traders gauge market sentiment and volatility during this period, empowering them to make better-informed decisions for the upcoming trading week.
How to Use
Adding the Indicator: Find and select the Weekend Range Indicator from the TradingView indicators menu, then add it to your chart.
Customization: Tailor the settings to your needs—adjust the weekend period based on your preferred time zone or include/exclude specific days (e.g., holidays or partial trading days).
Interpretation: The indicator displays distinct markers for the weekend’s high and low prices, making it easy to visualize the range and incorporate into your trading strategy.
Key Features
Customizable Weekend Definition: Define the weekend period to suit your market or time zone, ensuring flexibility for global traders.
Multi-Timeframe Support: Works seamlessly across all chart time frames, whether you’re a scalper, day trader, or long-term investor.
Visual Clarity: High and low markers are clearly plotted, keeping your chart clean and the weekend range easy to spot.
Example Use Case
Imagine a cryptocurrency trader analysing Bitcoin. If the Weekend Range Indicator shows a tight consolidation between a high of $60,000 and a low of $59,500 over the weekend, they might anticipate a breakout when volume spikes on Monday. Using the weekend high and low as key levels, they could set precise entry and exit points for their trade.
Disclaimer
This indicator relies on historical price data and does not predict future market movements. For best results, combine it with other technical analysis tools and sound risk management practices.
By adding the Weekend Range Indicator to your toolkit, you’ll gain a clearer understanding of weekend market dynamics and sharpen your edge for the trading week ahead.

CVD Divergence & Volume ProfileThis Pine Script indicator, named "CVD Divergence & Volume Profile," is designed to identify potential trading opportunities by combining Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) divergence with Volume Profile levels and an optional Simple Moving Average (SMA) trend filter. It plots signals directly on the price chart.
Here's a breakdown of what each component does and how to potentially trade with it:
1. Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) Divergence
What it does: CVD measures the cumulative difference between buying and selling volume. A rising CVD indicates more buying pressure, while a falling CVD indicates more selling pressure. Divergence occurs when the price action contradicts the CVD's direction, suggesting a potential shift in momentum or trend reversal.
Bearish Divergence: The price makes a higher high, but the CVD makes a lower high (or fails to make a new high). This suggests that despite the price increasing, the underlying buying pressure is weakening.
Bullish Divergence: The price makes a lower low, but the CVD makes a higher low (or fails to make a new low). This suggests that despite the price decreasing, the underlying selling pressure is weakening.
Visualization:
Red triangle pointing down on the chart indicates a Bearish Divergence signal.
Green triangle pointing up on the chart indicates a Bullish Divergence signal.
2. Volume Profile Levels (VAH, VAL, POC)
What it does: The indicator calculates simplified Volume Profile levels over a user-defined vp_range (number of candles). These levels represent areas where significant trading activity has occurred:
VAH (Value Area High): The upper boundary of the "Value Area," where 70% of the volume traded.
VAL (Value Area Low): The lower boundary of the "Value Area," where 70% of the volume traded.
POC (Point of Control): The price level within the vp_range where the most volume was traded.
Significance: These levels often act as significant support and resistance zones.
Visualization:
Orange lines for VAH and VAL.
Yellow line for POC.
Zone Proximity (zone_thresh): The indicator only generates divergence signals if the current close price is within a specified percentage zone_thresh of either VAH, VAL, or POC. This filters signals to areas of high liquidity and potential turning points.
3. Trend Filter (SMA)
What it does: This is an optional filter (use_trend_filter) that uses a Simple Moving Average (sma_period, default 200).
Significance: It helps ensure that divergence signals are traded in alignment with the broader market trend, potentially increasing their reliability.
For long signals (bullish divergence), the price (close) must be above the SMA (indicating an uptrend).
For short signals (bearish divergence), the price (close) must be below the SMA (indicating a downtrend).
Visualization: A blue line on the chart representing the SMA.
How to Trade with It (Potential Strategies)
The indicator aims to provide high-probability entry points by combining multiple confirming factors. Here's how you might interpret and trade the signals:
Identify Divergence: Look for the triangle signals on your chart (red for bearish, green for bullish).
Confirm Proximity to Volume Profile Levels: The signal itself confirms that the price is near a significant Volume Profile level (VAH, VAL, or POC). These are areas where price often reacts.
Bullish Signal (Green Triangle): This suggests buying momentum is returning after a price decline, especially when the price is near VAL or POC, which might act as support.
Bearish Signal (Red Triangle): This suggests selling momentum is increasing after a price rally, especially when the price is near VAH or POC, which might act as resistance.
Check Trend Alignment (SMA Filter):
For a long trade: You would ideally want to see a green triangle (bullish divergence) while the price is above the blue SMA line. This indicates a bullish divergence confirming a potential bounce within an existing uptrend.
For a short trade: You would ideally want to see a red triangle (bearish divergence) while the price is below the blue SMA line. This indicates a bearish divergence confirming a potential rejection within an existing downtrend.
Entry and Exit Considerations:
Entry: Consider entering a trade on the candle where the signal appears, or on the subsequent candle for confirmation.
Stop Loss: For a long trade, a logical stop-loss could be placed below the lowest point of the divergence, or below the VAL/POC if the signal occurred near it. For a short trade, above the highest point of the divergence or VAH/POC.
Take Profit: Targets could be set at the opposite Volume Profile level, previous swing highs/lows, or using a fixed risk-reward ratio.
Example Trading Scenario:
Long Trade: You see a green triangle (bullish divergence) printed on the chart. You notice the price is currently at the VAL (orange line). You check the blue SMA line and confirm that the price is above it (uptrend). This confluence of factors (bullish divergence, support at VAL, and uptrend) provides a strong potential long entry signal. You might enter, place your stop loss just below VAL, and target VAH or the next resistance level.
Short Trade: You see a red triangle (bearish divergence). The price is at the VAH (orange line). The price is also below the blue SMA line (downtrend). This suggests a potential short entry. You might enter, place your stop loss just above VAH, and target VAL or the next support level.
Candle Liquidity Algo [ValiantTrader]Explanation of the "Candle Liquidity Algo" Indicator
This indicator is designed to help traders identify potential trading opportunities by analyzing liquidity zones and divergences between price action and these zones on higher timeframes.
Key Components:
1. Timeframe Settings
The indicator allows you to select a custom timeframe (like 'D' for daily, '60' for 60 minutes, etc.)
It then displays the first candle of each new period on this higher timeframe directly on your chart
2. Liquidity Zones
Creates smoothed high and low levels (using a simple moving average) from the higher timeframe
These act as potential support/resistance zones where liquidity may be concentrated
3. Divergence Detection
Looks for divergences between price action and the liquidity zones:
Bullish Divergence: When price makes a lower low but the liquidity zone low is higher
Bearish Divergence: When price makes a higher high but the liquidity zone high is lower
4. Visual Elements
Plots the first candle of each new higher timeframe period on your chart (colored green for up, red for down)
Draws labels when divergences are detected (green "Bullish Div" below price for bullish divergences, red "Bearish Div" above for bearish)
Draws temporary lines marking the relevant price levels where divergences occur
5. Alerts
The indicator can trigger alerts when divergences are detected, which can be useful for traders who want notifications about potential trading setups
How to Use in Trading:
Identify the Higher Timeframe Structure: The indicator shows you how the higher timeframe is developing while you're looking at a lower timeframe chart.
Watch for Divergences: When you see:
Price making lower lows but liquidity zones making higher lows → potential bullish reversal
Price making higher highs but liquidity zones making lower highs → potential bearish reversal
Use Liquidity Zones as Targets/Stops: The smoothed high/low levels can act as potential take-profit areas or stop-loss levels.
Combine with Other Confirmation: Like any indicator, it's best used with other confirmation signals (price action patterns, volume analysis, etc.)
The indicator is particularly useful for traders looking to align their trades with higher timeframe structure while operating on lower timeframes for entry precision.
Malama's Candle Sniper Malama's Candle Sniper
This Pine Script is an overlay indicator crafted for TradingView to detect and highlight a variety of bullish and bearish candlestick patterns directly on the price chart. Its primary goal is to assist traders in identifying potential reversal or continuation signals by marking these patterns with labeled visual cues. The indicator is versatile, applicable across different markets (e.g., stocks, forex, cryptocurrencies) and timeframes, making it a valuable tool for enhancing technical analysis and informing trading decisions.
Originality and Usefulness
While the candlestick patterns detected by this script are well-established in technical analysis, "Malama's Candle Sniper" stands out due to its comprehensive nature. It consolidates the detection of numerous patterns—ranging from engulfing patterns to doji variations and multi-candle formations—into a single, unified indicator. This eliminates the need for traders to apply multiple individual indicators, streamlining their charting process and saving time.
The indicator’s usefulness lies in its ability to:
Provide Visual Clarity: Labels are plotted on the chart when patterns are detected, offering immediate recognition of potential trading opportunities.
Broad Pattern Coverage: It identifies both bullish and bearish patterns, accommodating various market conditions and trading strategies.
This makes it an ideal tool for traders who incorporate candlestick analysis into their decision-making, whether for spotting trend reversals or confirming ongoing momentum.
How It Works
"Malama's Candle Sniper" operates by defining helper functions in Pine Script that evaluate whether specific candlestick pattern conditions are met for the current bar. Each function returns a boolean value (true/false) based on predefined criteria involving the open, high, low, and close prices of the candles. The script then checks for transitions from false to true (i.e., a pattern newly appearing) and plots a corresponding label on the chart.
Bullish Patterns Detected
The script identifies the following bullish patterns, which typically signal potential upward price movements:
Bullish Engulfing: A small bearish candle followed by a larger bullish candle that engulfs it.
Three White Soldiers: Three consecutive bullish candles with higher closes.
Bullish Three Line Strike: Three bullish candles followed by a bearish candle that doesn’t negate the prior uptrend.
Three Inside Up: A bearish candle, a smaller bullish candle within its range, and a strong bullish confirmation candle.
Dragonfly Doji: A doji with a long lower wick and little to no upper wick, opening and closing near the high.
Piercing Line: A bearish candle followed by a bullish candle that opens below the prior low and closes above the midpoint of the prior candle.
Bullish Marubozu: A strong bullish candle with no upper or lower wicks.
Bullish Abandoned Baby: A bearish candle, a doji gapped below it, and a bullish candle gapped above the doji.
Rising Window: A gap up between two candles, with the current low above the prior high.
Hammer: A candle with a small body and a long lower wick, indicating rejection of lower prices.
Morning Star: A three-candle pattern with a bearish candle, a small-bodied middle candle, and a strong bullish candle.
Bearish Patterns Detected
The script also detects these bearish patterns, which often indicate potential downward price movements:
Bearish Engulfing: A small bullish candle followed by a larger bearish candle that engulfs it.
Three Black Crows: Three consecutive bearish candles with lower closes.
Bearish Three Line Strike: Three bearish candles followed by a bullish candle that doesn’t reverse the downtrend.
Three Inside Down: A bullish candle, a smaller bearish candle within its range, and a strong bearish confirmation candle.
Gravestone Doji: A doji with a long upper wick and little to no lower wick, opening and closing near the low.
Dark Cloud Cover: A bullish candle followed by a bearish candle that opens above the prior high and closes below the midpoint of the prior candle.
Bearish Marubozu: A strong bearish candle with no upper or lower wicks.
Bearish Abandoned Baby: A bullish candle, a doji gapped above it, and a bearish candle gapped below the doji.
Falling Window: A gap down between two candles, with the current high below the prior low.
Hanging Man: A candle with a small body and a long lower wick after an uptrend, signaling potential reversal.
Label Plotting
When a pattern is detected (i.e., its condition transitions from false to true):
Bullish Patterns: A label is plotted at the high of the bar, using a green background with white text and a downward-pointing style (e.g., "Bull Engulf" for Bullish Engulfing).
Bearish Patterns: A label is plotted at the low of the bar, using a red background with white text and an upward-pointing style (e.g., "Bear Engulf" for Bearish Engulfing).
This visual distinction helps traders quickly differentiate between bullish and bearish signals and their precise locations on the chart.
Strategy and Risk Management
Backtesting: "Malama's Candle Sniper" is strictly an indicator and does not include backtesting capabilities or automated trading signals. It does not simulate trades or provide performance statistics such as win rates or profit/loss metrics.
Risk Management: As an informational tool, it lacks built-in risk management features. Traders must independently implement strategies like stop-loss orders, take-profit levels, or position sizing to manage risk when acting on the detected patterns. For example, a trader might place a stop-loss below a Hammer pattern’s low or above a Hanging Man’s high to limit potential losses.
User Settings and Customization
Inputs: The script does not offer user-configurable inputs. All pattern detection logic is hardcoded, meaning traders cannot adjust parameters such as lookback periods or pattern sensitivity through the interface.
Customization: Advanced users with Pine Script knowledge can modify the code directly to:
Add or remove patterns.
Adjust the conditions (e.g., tweak the wick-to-body ratio for a Hammer).
Change label styles or colors.
However, the default version is fixed and ready-to-use as is.
Visualizations and Chart Setup

Bullish Labels: Appear at the candle’s high with a green background, white text, and a downward-pointing arrow (e.g., "Hammer").
Bearish Labels: Appear at the candle’s low with a red background, white text, and an upward-pointing arrow (e.g., "Hanging Man").
Chart Setup: The indicator is configured as an overlay (overlay=true), meaning it integrates seamlessly with the price chart. Labels are displayed directly on the candlesticks, eliminating the need for a separate pane and keeping the focus on price action.
Usage Example
To use "Malama's Candle Sniper":
Add the indicator to your TradingView chart via the Indicators menu.
Observe the price chart for green (bullish) or red (bearish) labels as they appear.
Analyze the context of each pattern (e.g., trend direction, support/resistance levels) to decide on potential trades.
Apply your own entry, exit, and risk management rules based on the signals.
For instance, spotting a "Morning Star" label during a downtrend near a support level might prompt a trader to consider a long position, while a "Dark Cloud Cover" at resistance could signal a short opportunity.
Filt ADR🟠 Script Name: Filtered Average Daily Range (Filt ADR)
This script calculates a filtered version of the Average Daily Range (ADR) based on the last 14 daily candles. It's designed to reduce the influence of unusually high or low daily ranges (outliers) by applying a filter before calculating the average.
🔧 How It Works — Step by Step
1. Calculate Daily Ranges (High - Low)
It retrieves the daily price ranges (difference between daily high and low) for the last 14 days using request.security() with the "D" (daily) timeframe.

high - low // today's daily range
high - low // yesterday's daily range
...
These values are stored into individual variables dr0 to dr13.
2. Build an Array of Daily Ranges
An array named ranges is used to store the 14 daily ranges, but only if they are not na (missing data). This avoids errors during processing.
3. Calculate the Initial (Unfiltered) Average Range
The script sums all values in the ranges array and calculates their average:
pinescript
Копировать
Редактировать
avg_all = total sum of ranges / number of valid entries
4. Filter Out Outliers
Now it filters the values in ranges:
Only keeps the ranges that are between 0.5×avg_all and 2×avg_all.
This is to remove abnormally small or large daily ranges that could distort the average.
The filtered values are added to a second array called filtered.
5. Calculate the Filtered ADR
Finally, it calculates the average of the filtered daily ranges:
pinescript
Копировать
Редактировать
avg_filt = sum of filtered ranges / number of filtered values
This is the Filtered ADR.
6. Plot the Result
The result (avg_filt) is plotted as an orange line on the chart. It updates on each bar (depending on the current timeframe you're viewing) but the underlying data is based on the last 14 daily candles.

✅ Use Case
This script is useful for traders who use the Average Daily Range (ADR) to:
Estimate expected price movement during a day
Set volatility-based stop-loss or take-profit levels
Identify days with unusually high or low volatility
By filtering out extreme values, it provides a more stable and reliable estimate of daily volatility.
0830-0845 High/Low Marker (Accurate Start + History)This indicator marks the high and low of the 15-minute candle between 08:30 and 08:45 (local time) of the trading session. The high and low are tracked dynamically, with the lines drawn once the 08:45 candle closes.
Key Features:
Session-based Tracking: Automatically tracks and records the high and low of the 15-minute period starting at 08:30 and ending at 08:45.
Excludes 08:45 High : If a high is created exactly at 08:45, the indicator will ignore it and use the highest value before 08:45, ensuring it only references the price action during the specified window.
Line Extension : The high and low lines are drawn and extended to the right for a user-defined number of bars, making them visible beyond the session's close.
Customizable Parameters : Adjust the start and end times of the session, line colors, and line width to fit your preferences.
Use Case :
Ideal for traders who focus on the price action during the early part of the trading session (08:30 to 08:45) and want to track significant levels of support and resistance from that period.
The extended lines help identify potential price zones for the rest of the session or the trading day.
NY Reversal Pattern StatsThe NY Reversal Pattern Stats indicator is a tool for identifying and analyzing specific price action patterns that occur during the New York trading session. Its goal is to highlight potential reversal or continuation opportunities that may arise from market manipulation or shifts in volatility within this key market window. Beyond simply identifying patterns, the indicator provides valuable historical statistics on their performance, helping traders evaluate their effectiveness.
Key Features
New York Session Highlighting: Clearly visualizes the defined New York trading session directly on your chart.
Automated Pattern Detection: Automatically detects two types of patterns within the New York session:
Manipulation Wick: Identifies instances where price attempts to push significantly beyond a recent session extreme but is rejected, resulting in a wick with the close returning to the original side.
Low Volatility Reversal: Detects price interaction with a recent session extreme where the resulting candle shows lower-than-average volatility, suggesting potential exhaustion or a reversal point.
Pattern Confirmation Tracking: Tracks whether a detected pattern leads to a follow-through move based on a defined confirmation rule (currently, price returning to the session midpoint).
Comprehensive Statistics Table: Displays a detailed table on the chart summarizing:
Total patterns observed.
Number of patterns that were confirmed.
Success and failure rates.
Maximum losing streak.
Statistical relevance metrics (Sigma, Z-Score, P-value) to help assess if the observed success rate is likely due to chance.
A clear description interpreting the statistical relevance and pattern performance (more often right/wrong).
Customizable Visuals: Allows users to control the appearance of the session background and pattern labels.
Alerts: Provides options to set alerts when a new pattern is detected or when a detected pattern is confirmed.
How to Use the Indicator
Add to Chart: Apply the "NY Reversal Pattern Stats" indicator to your desired chart in TradingView.
Configure Inputs: Open the indicator's settings to customize the parameters:
Session Time Definition: Set the exact start hour, minute, and duration (in hours) for the New York session you wish to analyze. Use the "NY Time" inputs (e.g., 6:00 AM - 10:00 AM for Indices, 5:00 AM - 9:00 AM for Forex). The indicator uses the "America/New_York" timezone to handle Daylight Saving Time.
NY Session Visuals: Choose whether to display the session background and pattern labels, and customize their colors.
Pattern Detection: Adjust the sensitivity of the Manipulation Wick threshold and configure the settings for the Low Volatility Reversal pattern detection (enable/disable, ATR length, volatility factor).
Confirmation: Enable or disable the session midpoint confirmation criterion.
Show Statistics Table: Toggle the visibility of the statistics table.
Interpret the Chart: Observe the highlighted New York session windows and the labels indicating detected and confirmed patterns.
Analyze the Statistics Table: Refer to the statistics table for historical performance data.
Total Patterns: Indicates the sample size. More patterns generally lead to more statistically reliable results.
Confirmed/Failed: Shows the raw counts of successful and unsuccessful patterns based on the confirmation rule.
Success/Fail Rate (%): Provides the percentage of patterns that met or did not meet the confirmation criterion.
Statistical Relevance: Read the description provided in the table. It interprets the Z-Score and sample size to tell you if the observed success rate is statistically significant (i.e., unlikely to be just random chance).
Pattern Performance: Read the description indicating whether the pattern has historically been "More often right than wrong" or "More often wrong than right" based on the success rate.
Sigma / Z-Score / P-value: These are standard statistical measures. A higher absolute Z-Score and a lower P-value (especially below 0.05 or 0.01) suggest stronger statistical evidence that the pattern's success rate is different from a random 50/50 outcome.
Set Alerts: If desired, configure alerts to be notified when patterns are detected or confirmed, allowing you to potentially take action in real-time.
Interpretation of Results
High Success Rate + High Statistical Relevance: This combination suggests the detected pattern, as defined and confirmed by the indicator, has historically shown a consistent edge within the specified New York session window, and this performance is unlikely due to random chance.
High Success Rate + Low Statistical Relevance: The pattern has performed well in the observed data, but the sample size might be too small for high confidence that this performance will continue.
Low Success Rate + High Statistical Relevance: The pattern, as defined, has historically shown a tendency to fail more often than succeed, and this underperformance is statistically significant.
Low Statistical Relevance (Regardless of Success Rate): The sample size is insufficient to draw strong conclusions about the pattern's effectiveness. More historical data is needed.
Remember that past performance is not indicative of future results. Statistical analysis provides insights into historical tendencies, but trading decisions should always involve a comprehensive analysis and risk management plan.
Limitations
Timeframe Dependency: The pattern detection and session high/low accumulation operate on the chart's current timeframe. It does not specifically analyze only the 4-hour candles as might be implied by "4H Candle Profiling Patterns".
Confirmation Criterion: The confirmation rule is fixed to price returning to the session midpoint. If your strategy uses a different confirmation or target, this indicator's statistics may not directly reflect its performance.
No London/Asia Filter: The indicator does not check the performance or characteristics of the London or Asia sessions to filter for instances where "London and Asia Fail".
Potential Timezone Compiler Issues: While the code uses standard v6 timezone handling, some specific TradingView environments may exhibit unexpected behavior with timezone strings, potentially affecting the precise timing of the session boundaries.
This indicator is a powerful tool for analyzing specific price action patterns during the New York session. By understanding its inputs, outputs, and limitations, traders can gain valuable insights into potential trading opportunities.
X OHLdesigned to plot significant levels—closed higher timeframe High, Low, Open, and an Equilibrium (EQ) level and current Open—on the current chart based on user-defined higher timeframes (HTFs). It helps traders visualize HTF price levels on lower timeframes for confluence, context, or decision-making.
Key Functional Components:
Configurable Inputs:
Four Timeframes: Customizable (default: 1H, 4H, D, W).
Visibility Toggles for:
Previous High (pHigh)
Previous Low (pLow)
EQ (midpoint between high and low)
Current Open
Previous Open
How It Works:
For each selected timeframe:
retrieves OHL Data
Previous high/low (high , low )
Current and previous open
EQ is calculated as midpoint: (high + low) / 2
Draws Horizontal Lines:
Lines are drawn from the candle where the HTF bar opens and extended until timeframe switch. Lines extends a few bars beyond current to assist in visualization
Labels:
On the most recent bar, each level is labeled with a description (pHigh 1H, EQ 6H, etc.).
Labels are customizable (size, color, background).

PRO SMC Full Suite BY Mashrur“PRO SMC Full Suite BY Mashrur”
A Pine Script (v5) indicator for TradingView, focused on Smart Money Concepts (SMC). It overlays on price charts and provides visual tools for identifying key institutional trading behaviors.
🎯 Purpose
This script is designed to help traders analyze and trade using SMC principles by automatically detecting:
Order Blocks (OBs)
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
Breaks of Structure (BoS)
Liquidity Sweeps (Buy/Sell Side Liquidity Grabs)
Mitigation Entries
⚙️ Inputs / Settings
Show Fair Value Gaps: Toggle FVGs on/off
Higher Timeframe (HTF): Choose HTF for OB analysis
Use HTF OBs: Switch between current TF OBs and HTF OBs
Show Order Blocks: Toggle OBs on/off
Show OB Mitigation Entries: Toggle mitigation entry signals on/off
🧠 Core Logic Overview
🔹 1. Swing Points Detection
Identifies swing highs/lows using a 3-bar pattern (pivot-based structure).
🔹 2. Break of Structure (BoS)
A bullish BoS happens when price closes above the last swing high.
A bearish BoS occurs when price closes below the last swing low.
🔹 3. Order Block Detection
Upon BoS, the script marks the previous candle as the Order Block.
Uses either:
Current TF OBs (based on price action)
HTF OBs (based on candle body direction)
🔹 4. Mitigation Entry Logic
A mitigation occurs when price returns to the OB and reacts with confirmation:
Bullish: price dips into OB and closes above
Bearish: price wicks into OB and closes below
Plots entry markers for these mitigations.
🔹 5. Liquidity Sweeps
Detects equal highs/lows (liquidity zones)
Marks Buy SL when price dips below an equal low then closes above
Marks Sell SL when price breaks above an equal high then closes below
🔹 6. Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
FVG Up: Gap between candle 3 and candle 1 (low > high )
FVG Down: Gap between candle 3 and candle 1 (high < low )
Plots highlighted boxes on these gaps
📊 Visual Elements
Boxes: For OB zones and FVGs
Shapes:
Labels: OB Buy/Sell entries
Triangles: Buy SL / Sell SL liquidity sweeps
Lines: Equal Highs and Lows
🔔 Alerts
