FVGs & CEs + Alerts: simple & efficient methodFair Value Gap indicator: Paints FVGs and their midlines (CEs). Stops painting when CE is hit, or when fully filled; user choice of threshold. This threshold is also used in the Alert conditions.
~~Plotted here on ES1! (CME), on the 15m timeframe~~
-A FVG represents a 'naked' body where the wicks/tails on either side do not meet. This can be seen as a type of 'gap', which price will have a tendency to want to re-fill (in part or in full).
-The midline (CE, or 'Consequent encroachment') of FVGs also tend to show price sensitivity.
-This indicator paints all FVGs until priced into, and should give an idea of which are more meaningful and which are best ignored (based on context: location, Time of day, market structure, etc).
-This is a simpler and more efficient method of painting Fair value gaps which auto-stop painting when price reaches them.
//Aims of Publishing:
-Education of ICT concepts of Fair Value Gaps and their midlines (CEs): To easily see via forward testing or backtesting, the sensitivity that price shows to these areas & levels.
-Demonstration of a much more efficient way of plotting FVGs which terminate at price, thanks to a modification of @Bjorgums's clever looping method referenced below.
//Settings:
-Toggle on/off upward and downward FVGs independently(blue and orange by default).
-Toggle on/off midline (CE).
-Standard color/line formatting options.
-Choose Threshold: CE of FVG or Full Fill of FVG: This will determine both the 'stop-painting' trigger and the 'Alert' trigger.
-Choose number of days lookback to control how many historical FVGs paint on chart.
//On alerts:
-Simple choice of 2 alerts:
~~One for price crossing into/above the nearest untouched 'premium' FVG above ( orange ). Trigger is user choice of CE or full fill.
~~Another for price crossing into/below the nearest untouched 'discount' FVG below (blue). Trigger is user choice of CE or full fill.
-Alerts set via the three dots in indicator status line.
//Cautionary notes:
-Do not use the alerts blindly to find trades. Wait until you have identified a good FVG above/below which you think price may show sensitivity to
-Usage on very low timeframes can cause unexpected results with alerts: due to new FVGs forming in realtime the Alert will always trigger at the most recent FVG above/ below having its threshold hit.
-Big thank you to @Bjorgum for his fantastic extendAndRemove method. Modified here for use with boxes and to integrate Alerts.
-Also Credit to ICT (inner circle trader) for the concepts used here: Fair value gaps and their Consequent Encroachment (CE).

Liquidity Candles with Prev Day High/Low and Midnight OpenAlright, let's talk about how to use this fancy indicator. But first, let me warn you, using indicators is like driving a car, you can't just press the gas pedal and hope for the best. You need to know what you're doing, or else you'll crash and burn faster than a soufflé in a microwave.
Now, let's get started. The first thing you need to do is understand what this indicator is telling you. Think of it like a signalman at a train station. He's waving flags and giving hand signals to tell you whether it's safe to proceed or if you need to stop and wait. This indicator works the same way.
It's going to give you signals based on price movements, telling you whether it's safe to buy or sell. But don't get too excited, my friend. You still need to use your brain and make smart decisions. Don't just blindly follow the signals, or else you'll end up like a sheep being led to the slaughter.
Now, let's talk about some of ICT's smart money trading concepts. First up, we have "liquidity grabs". This is when the big boys in the market create false breakouts to shake out the weak hands. They're like school bullies stealing lunch money from the little kids. But you can avoid being a victim by watching for signs of a liquidity grab, and using your brain to decide whether it's a real breakout or just a trap.
Next up, we have "stop runs". This is when the big players purposely trigger stop-loss orders to get a better entry or exit. It's like a game of chicken, but with your money on the line. To avoid being run over, keep an eye on your stop-loss orders, and don't be too predictable in your trading.
Finally, we have "market structure". This is like the blueprint of the market, showing you where the support and resistance levels are. It's like a treasure map to finding the best trades. But don't forget that market structure can change over time, so keep updating your map and stay ahead of the game.
So there you have it, my friend. A quick tutorial on using this indicator, with a side of ICT's smart money trading concepts. But remember, indicators are just tools, and you're the one driving the car. Use your brain, stay alert, and don't be a sheep. Happy trading!

Session LiquidityThe “Session Liquidity” TradingView indicator by Infinity Trading creates dynamic horizontal lines at the high and low points of a specified time span within the trading day. This indicator gives the user control of three separate time spans so the user can dynamically see the highs and lows of their favorite daily time spans.
Purpose
This indicator is similar to my TradingView indicator “Futures Exchange Sessions 3.0”. In that indicator the user gets control of dynamic price boxes. For me, these boxes made it difficult to spot ICT’s Orderblocks. So instead of boxes I made independently controllable lines and now I can spot ICT Orderblocks and easily identify Liquidity Pools.
Inputs and Style
Everything about the three dynamic lines can but independently configured. Start & End Times, Line Color, Line Style, Line Width, Text Characters, Text Size, Text Color can all be adjusted. The high and low lines as well as their text labels can be individually toggled on or off for maximum control.
Timezone
All of the start and end times are in EST. Additionally, each time span line needs a specific start of each day. This is controlled by a setting called “Line Start Day Timezone” where the user sets a timezone that corresponds with the start time. In general if a timespan resides within a particular Session pick the corresponding timezone. If the users line fits in the Asian Session then choose Asia/Shanghai. If the line is within the London Session then choose Europe/London. And the same goes for the New York Session.
Special Notes
If the Line Start Time is within one candle of the Start Day Timezone in the Settings, then the line/box won’t display. So choose the previous timezone
Lines only display when the timeframe is <= 30 minute

Index OverlayNote: use this indicator only with New York Timezone + you need to understand ICT concepts already, this indicator simplifies the chart work.
Also, in this script I added some open-source scripts from creators here on tradingview, but I forgot to annotate their names...
If you recognize your script, please text me and I'll add your credits.
features
- displays Midnight and Sunday open lines
- day separation (from midnight)
- FVGs
- VWAP (calculated from midnight open)
- daily labels
- TDH & TDL (liquidity)
- trading time window (from 9:30 to 12:00 ny time)
HOW TO USE
Combined with daily bias, the idea is to wait for 9:30 to open, and then wait for a liquidation of TDH (plotted in blue) or TDL (in red).
Once it happens, you can look for ICT buy / sell model, ideally in the 5m TF.
Inducement / Stop Hunt [TFO]This indicator shows inducement / stop hunts accompanied by volume spikes. The idea is inspired by ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts where price is always seeking "liquidity" by reaching for trivial pivots where the average retail trader would put their stop loss. When price seeks these levels and stops out these traders, you might expect an influx of volume due to the high number of shares/contracts being exchanged. And when there is an above-average spike in volume at these prices, it's possible to assume "smart money" may be buying retail's sell stops and vice versa. This is just my interpretation - I'm aware that ICT doesn't use volume as part of his analysis, and often advocates against using volume altogether, however I personally find it to be a great analytical tool in this context.
In my opinion this works best on 1m and smaller timeframes. Volume gets very diluted on timeframes greater than 1-3 minutes. It's easier to find volume spikes on very small timeframes like the 15s.
Price Action All In One IndicatorIf you are the one who is "Price Action" style & does not want to use many indicators or complex indicators or you are an ICT (The Inner Circle Trader)
student or ICT charter, this simple beautiful All In One Indicator is right for you.
The indicator has the following functions.
TIME ZONE SETTING
The default timezone is New York Time GMT-4, if you leave the time zone setting blank, it will use the symbol timezone. Note that the trading time changes with one hour delay in winter. so if you just trade forex, and leave the time zone setting blank, TradingView will adjust the symbol timezone automatically for you or don't forget to change the timezone setting GMT-4 or GMT-5 depending on daylight saving time.
STATISTIC PANEL
You can choose which panel to show through settings.
Session Info Panel : pips info of ADR, Asian, London, and New York sessions.
Trend Panel : showing trend (up/down) of
5m/15m/1h/4h/D/W time frames (TF)
4MA (default values: SMA with lengths: 20–50–100–200)
Money Management Panel : in trading, money management is very important. Just put the % risk, & stop loss value below, the indicator will calculate a suitable size/amount for each trade.
Size by Lots: input stop loss in pips
Size by Units: input stop loss in % (of price)
(*)Units size is calculated by % stop loss & current bar close price. You have to determine a stop-loss price to convert to % stop loss by yourself.
TIME SEPARATORS
We can choose which time separators we want to display. The indicator has 5 options: Anchor Time/Day/Week/Month/Quarter. Of course, we can choose to show just one or all 5 of them.
With Anchor Time you can choose which time you want to draw a vertical line for better timing analysis. This can show up to 2 Anchor Time lines. The default values are 00:00 (New York Midnight Opening) and 08:30 (New York Session Opening). You also have an option to show the past lines or not.
About Day Separator, cause TradingView has supported Session Breaks in Setting but if you don't like to use it or when enabling, it distracts you, you can use mine. My favorite trading dates are Tuesday & Wednesday.
PRICE LEVELS
For intraday trading, the high/low/close of the previous day, the previous week, ADR (default period is 5) are very important key levels. You can choose which one you like to show for better analysis. Of course, you can change the color & style of the lines. This is also my favorite indicator.
This indicator also has an option to show up to 2 price lines at a specific time, you can choose the price type (high/low/close/open) that you want to display. The default time values are:
Specific Time 1: 0:00. (New York Midnight Opening Price)
Specific Time 2: 8:30 am. (New York Session Opening Price)
ACCUMULATION ZONE
The market tends to reprice the higher/lower to the old high/low or imbalance/fair value price to promote buy/sell stops or to provide smart money pricing for long/short entries. Typically, it redistributes quickly and you must learn to anticipate them at key levels intraday. Weak short/long holders will be squeezed in the retracement.
Except for the open price, the price changes continuously until the closing time, so the accumulation area can also be changed in real-time, but if you combine it with other information when analyzing, you can predict/determine whether the zone has been established or not with high probability. In short, price needs time to be accumulated, I usually don't pay attention to this daily zone till London open/close or New York sessions
Not only daily zone, but the indicator also supports higher timeframes accumulation zone from
SESSION & STD
There are 3 sessions: Asian, London, New York. The default values are below (New York Time).
Asian: 19:00 ~ 00:00
London Open (London KillZone): 01:00 ~ 05:00
New York Open (New York KillZone): 07:00 ~ 10:00
If you do not want to show the label, just leave the label values blank or change them to whatever you want.
This is one of my favorite functions. I use it on 15m, 30m, 1h TF for Forex intraday trading. My favorite trading sessions are London Open & New York Open.
You also can choose to show or not Standard Deviations (STD). The default values are set for Asian Range STD and max STD levels can be shown are 5. I use the following 3 types of STD (New York Time):
CBDR (Central Bank Deviations) STD: 14:00 ~ 20:00
Flout STD: 15:00 ~00:00
Asian Range STD: 19:00 ~ 00:00
LOOKBACK HIGH/LOW/MID
Can show high/low/mid of the data ranges on the daily/4h chart. The default values are:
- 20–40–60 days back from today for daily TF.
- 30–60–90 bars back from the latest bar for 4h TF.
The default anchor bar for calculating the lookback is the latest one but with:
- 4h TF: we can change the lookback from the 1st day of the week.
- Daily TF: we can change the lookback from the 1st day of the month.
The indicator also has options showing the high/low/mid (equilibrium level) lines for better analysis. Especially, on daily TF, we have the option that can show up to 4 lines (25% for each one) of the data range.
Of course, you can change the colors or the style of the high/low/mid lines.
The lookback can be shown on the lower TFs for better detection when the market structure is shifted.
MAGIC BARS
Fractal bar : The bar's color is changed when the divergence occurs between the price & RSI. You can change the RSI period (default value is 14) & RSI source. (open/high/low/close,…)
Imbalance bar or liquidity void or fair value gap - whatever you call it. This is my favorite indicator when trading on all TFs.You can choose to extend the last n imbalance bars if you like in the settings. I make sure I covered all cases of imbalance/fair value gap.
OLD HIGH/LOW
First, this function is not used as the common Support & Resistance that retail traders usually use, so I call it Old High/Low. I usually use it in 2 ways:
Detect the next buy/sell stops that Market Makers aim to manipulate.
Detect whether market structure shifted or not (Break of structure)
In settings you can:
Set the period to detect high/low levels, the default value is 10. My other favorite values are 6 & 2.
On a lower time frame, you might want to set it to a large number to remove noise.
On a higher time frame, a small number is enough, I think.
Choose the numbers of the last lines you want to show on your chart.
Of course, the style of lines can be changed easily.
TRENDLINES
A very simple trendline with default pivot left strength is 10.
By default, trendline uses high/low price but you have the "Using close price" option.
LINEAR REGRESSION CHANNEL
The Linear Regression Channel is a three-line technical indicator used to analyze the upper and lower limits of an existing trend. It is a statistical tool used to predict the future from past data and is used to determine trend direction or when prices may be overextended.
You can choose
To fill the background or not
To show inner/outer lines or not
To change the colors/line styles of upper zone, lower zone, upper lines, lower lines, midline
DIRECTION BOX
Working on all TFs, this looks like the same with lookback function but if you would like to display them in a box for easily focusing/comparing with other symbols or for detecting divergence in a specific period. The indicator also has a setting to show or hide lines connecting between lows or highs.
Another example of how I use High/Low connecting lines to detect divergence between S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100.
ZIG ZAG
Can show up to 2 ZigZag lines.
This is suitable for traders who have difficulty in detecting key levels (recent high/low) of the prices to confirm market structure or just for drawing Fibonacci easily at those levels.
MA (Moving Average)
I believe that this is one of the most used indicators for every trader. There are 5 types of MA to choose from: EMA, SMA, WMA, VWMA, SMMA(RMA).
This can show up to 4 MAs. You can choose the source (close/high/low,…) for each one. My favorite values are 34 & 89 EMA.
This indicator also supports MA Bands. You can select which MA you want to display the bands, and the "width" of the bands can be changed via the settings.
WATERMARK
It's just a simple function but I think it's very useful for those who want to add Copyright info to the chart, to prevent others from copying it.
Others/known issues/limitations
In forex or stock (things that are traded only on weekdays), TradingView's does not include the latest bars till Monday so the Day Separator cannot fill that space. Because TradingView deals with those bars as Sunday's ones so I set the color of Sunday the same as Friday for good UI/UX. On Crypto charts, the indicator shows without problems.
If you see "Internal server study error", please try closing the current TradingView tab in your browser and reopening it in a new tab. The error will disappear.
Because TradingView does not provide any detailed error information when such "general error" occurs. It's very difficult to detect which function is causing this error or is there something that caused TradingView "overloaded" through a long time running/loading on that tab? Honestly, I don't know exactly the cause, but in my experience, this error often occurs in the following cases:
When you have the TradingView Tab open for hours. In my case, I usually leave TradingView tab open overnight & when I come back the next day, this error might appear. (I'm a Mac user & I almost never shut down my Mac)
When you change settings too many times, especially settings of drawing objects like line width in a using session, it might cause this error.
So, after changing the setting or when you come back for the next trade, please save & close that TradingView tab, and then open a new one, everything will work fine.
You can see the images below that show I have tested my indicator from 1-minute time frame, enabled all functions, change every setting to max values & everything still works fine.

Po3 CandlesPo3 Candles is a clean visual tool that projects higher-timeframe candles (default: 4H) onto the right side of any chart, regardless of the chart’s current timeframe. This allows traders to see the structure of the higher timeframe ahead of price, without switching charts.
This is especially useful for:
ICT / SMC style traders
Traders who rely on HTF bias
Intraday traders who want to monitor HTF PO3 sequences
Futures, indices, crypto, and FX
What It Does
This indicator displays the last N higher-timeframe candles (1–4), drawn to the right side of your chart:
Always uses real HTF data, independent of the current chart timeframe
Candles appear oldest on the left → newest on the right
Can show only the current HTF candle or up to 4 candles total
Includes fully centered wicks for clean visual alignment
Candle body width + spacing are configurable
Candle colors can match your chart theme
The result is a floating, mini HTF “chart” that updates live as the current HTF candle forms.
TGIF Dynamic Tracker [NINE Θ]Overview
A professional-grade indicator for tracking weekly price ranges and identifying high-probability retracement zones based on the TGIF (Thank God It's Friday) concept from ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology.
What is the TGIF Concept?
The TGIF concept is based on the observation that price tends to retrace a significant portion of the weekly range toward the end of the trading week — typically on Thursday evening or Friday. This phenomenon occurs as institutional traders take profits and rebalance positions before the weekend, creating predictable retracement patterns.
By identifying the weekly high and low, traders can anticipate specific retracement levels where price is likely to find support or resistance. The most commonly referenced retracement zone is the 20-30% level, representing a shallow pullback from the week's extreme before potential continuation.
Features In Depth
Weekly High/Low Tracking
The foundation of the TGIF strategy is accurately tracking the current week's price extremes.
Automatic Detection: The indicator continuously monitors price action and updates the weekly high and low in real-time. As new extremes are made, all dependent calculations (retracement zones, percentage levels) update automatically.
Smart Session Timing: The indicator automatically detects your market type and adjusts accordingly:
Stocks/ETFs: Week begins Monday at 9:30 AM ET (market open)
Forex/Crypto/Futures: Week begins Sunday at 6:00 PM ET (18:00)
This ensures accurate weekly range calculations regardless of which market you're trading.
Visual Customization:
Enable/disable weekly high and low lines independently
Choose line color, style (solid, dashed, dotted), and thickness
Lines extend from week start to current bar
Percentage Level Lines
Individual horizontal lines mark key retracement percentages within the weekly range.
Available Levels:
20% — Shallow retracement, first potential support/resistance
30% — Edge of the primary TGIF zone
50% — Mid-range equilibrium point
60% — Beginning of deeper retracement territory
80% — Deep retracement zone
90% — Near-complete retracement
Independent Controls: Each level can be toggled on or off individually, allowing you to display only the levels relevant to your trading strategy. All levels share common styling settings for a clean, consistent appearance.
Dynamic Bias Adjustment: Levels automatically adjust based on the current weekly bias:
Bullish Bias (new weekly high made): Levels measure DOWN from the high
Bearish Bias (new weekly low made): Levels measure UP from the low
This ensures retracement zones always point toward the direction of potential pullback.
Retracement Zones
Highlighted zones visually emphasize the most significant retracement areas.
Three Configurable Zones:
20-30% Zone (Primary TGIF Zone)
This is the classic TGIF retracement area. When price makes a weekly high or low, traders anticipate a pullback to this zone before potential continuation. This shallow retracement often provides optimal risk/reward entries in the direction of the weekly trend.
50-60% Zone (Equilibrium Zone)
Represents a balanced pullback to the middle of the weekly range. Price reaching this zone suggests a more significant retracement is underway. This area often acts as a decision point — price either finds support/resistance here or continues toward deeper retracement levels.
80-90% Zone (Deep Retracement Zone)
Indicates a near-complete retracement of the weekly range. Price reaching this zone suggests the original weekly move may be fully reversing. Traders watch for reversal signals here or prepare for a potential range expansion in the opposite direction.
Zone Display Options:
Each zone can be enabled/disabled independently
Customizable background colors with transparency control
Zones only appear during the retracement period (starting Thursday/Friday)
Midlines: Optional center lines within each zone (25%, 55%, 85%) provide additional precision points. These midlines often act as the "sweet spot" within each retracement band.
Time-Based Markers
Vertical lines help you identify important session boundaries and timing.
Daily Session Lines:
Mark the start of each trading day with vertical lines extending through the weekly range.
Stocks: 9:30 AM ET (NYSE/NASDAQ open)
Forex/Crypto/Futures: 6:00 PM ET (18:00 — New York session close/new day start)
Control how many historical session lines remain visible (1-5) to avoid chart clutter while maintaining useful reference points.
Weekly Start Lines:
A distinct vertical line marks the beginning of each trading week, providing clear visual separation between weeks and helping you identify the starting point for weekly range calculations.
Retracement Start Lines:
Mark when the TGIF retracement period begins — this is when you should start watching for pullbacks to the retracement zones.
Stocks: Friday 9:30 AM ET (Friday market open)
Forex/Crypto/Futures: Thursday 6:00 PM ET (18:00)

Info Table
An optional real-time summary table showing all current levels and their distance from price.
Table Contents:
Current day indicator (MON, TUE, WED, THU, FRI)
All six percentage levels (20%, 30%, 50%, 60%, 80%, 90%)
Exact price for each level
Distance from current price to each level
Adaptive Theming: The table automatically detects your chart's background color (light or dark) and adjusts text and border colors for optimal readability.
Display Settings:
9 position options (corners, edges, and center)
Size options: Tiny, Small, Normal, Large
Practical Use: Quickly identify which level is nearest to current price without visually scanning the chart. The distance column helps assess how far price needs to travel to reach key zones.

24-hour market timing with New York session rollover
Futures Contracts:
Automatically detected via common futures symbols (ES, NQ, YM, RTY, CL, GC, etc.)
Uses forex-style timing (18:00 ET rollover)
Handles continuous contracts and front-month symbols
This automatic detection ensures you get accurate weekly ranges without manual configuration.
Bias Tracking
The indicator dynamically tracks weekly directional bias to orient retracement calculations correctly.
How Bias is Determined:
When price makes a new weekly high, bias shifts to BULLISH
When price makes a new weekly low, bias shifts to BEARISH
Bias can change multiple times throughout the week as new extremes are made
Why Bias Matters:
Retracement levels are calculated from the appropriate extreme based on current bias:
Bullish bias: Levels measure DOWN from the weekly high (anticipating pullback from high)
Bearish bias: Levels measure UP from the weekly low (anticipating pullback from low)
This ensures the 20-30% zone always represents a shallow retracement in the context of the current weekly direction.
Tips
Best Results on Trending Weeks: TGIF works best when there's a clear weekly direction. Choppy, range-bound weeks may not produce clean retracements.
Combine with Other Confluence: TGIF levels are most powerful when they align with other technical factors — Fair Value Gaps, order blocks, previous week highs/lows, or key support/resistance levels.
Use Historical Data: Enable historical weeks to see how your instrument typically respects TGIF levels. Some instruments are more "TGIF-friendly" than others.
Midlines as Precision Points: The midlines (25%, 55%, 85%) often act as the exact reversal point within each zone. Watch for reactions specifically at these levels.
Friday Afternoon Caution: Late Friday sessions can be thin and choppy. Consider taking profits or reducing position sizes heading into the weekend.
Requirements
Intraday Timeframes Only: This indicator requires timeframes of 1 hour or less for accurate session and weekly boundary detection.
Sufficient Historical Data: When using the Historical Weeks feature, ensure your chart has enough bars loaded to display the requested number of weeks.
Session-Based Markets: Optimized for markets with distinct sessions. Continuous 24/7 markets may show different characteristics.

IDLP reconstructs the previous trading day from the intraday chart and then projects that structure forward onto the current session, giving you a stable, institutional-style intraday map.
🧱 1. Previous Daily Levels (Core Structure)
IDLP extracts and displays the full previous daily structure, which you can toggle on/off individually via the inputs:
Previous Daily High (PDH)
Previous Daily Low (PDL)
Previous Daily Open
Previous Daily Close,
Previous Daily Mid (50% of the range)
Previous Daily Q1 (25% of the range)
Previous Daily Q3 (75% of the range)
All of these come from the day that just closed and are then locked for the entire current session.
What these levels tell you:
PDH / PDL – true extremes of yesterday’s price action (liquidity zones, breakout/reversal points).
Previous Daily Open / Close – how the market positioned itself between session start and end
Mid (50%) – equilibrium level of the previous day’s auction.
Q1 / Q3 (25% / 75%) internal structure of the previous day’s range, dividing it into four equal zones and helping you see if price is trading in the lower, middle, or upper quarter of yesterday’s range.
All these levels are non-repaint: once the day is completed, they are fixed and never change when you scroll, replay, or backtest.
🎯 2. Previous Day Pivot System (P, S1, S2, R1, R2)
IDLP includes a classic floor-trader pivot grid, but critically:
It is calculated only from the previous day’s high, low, and close.
So for the current session, the following are fixed:
Pivot P – central reference level of the previous day.
Support 1 (S1) and Support 2 (S2)
Resistance 1 (R1) and Resistance 2 (R2)
These levels are widely used by institutional desks and algos to structure:
mean-reversion plays, breakout zones, intraday targets, and risk placement.
Everything in this section is non-repaint because it only uses the previous day’s fully closed OHLC.
📏 3. 1-Day ADR Bands Around Previous Daily Open
Instead of a multi-day ADR, IDLP uses a pure 1-Day ADR logic:
ADR = Range of the previous day
ADR = PDH − PDL
From that, IDLP builds two clean bands centered around the previous daily Open:
ADR Upper Band = Previous Day Open + (ADR × Multiplier)
ADR Lower Band = Previous Day Open − (ADR × Multiplier)
The multiplier is user-controlled in the inputs:
ADR Multiplier (default: 0.8)
This lets you choose how “tight” or “wide” you want the ADR envelope to be around the previous day’s open.
Typical use cases:
Identify realistic intraday extension targets, Spot exhaustion moves beyond ADR bands, Frame reversals after reaching volatility extremes, Align trades with or against volatility expansion
Again, since ADR is calculated only from the completed previous day, these bands are totally non-repaint during the current session.
🔒 4. True Non-Repaint Architecture
The internal logic of IDLP is built to guarantee non-repaint behavior:
It reconstructs each day using time("D") and tracks:
dayOpen, dayHigh, dayLow, dayClose for the current day
prevDayOpen, prevDayHigh, prevDayLow, prevDayClose for the previous day
At the moment a new day starts:
The “current day” gets “frozen” into prevDay*
These prevDay* values then drive: Previous Daily Levels, Pivots, ADR.
During the current day:
All these “previous day” values stay fixed, no matter what happens.
They do not move in real time, they do not shift in replay.
This means:
What you see in the past is exactly what you would have seen live.
No fake backtests.
No illusion of perfection from repainting behavior.
🎯 5. Designed For Intraday Traders
IDLP – Intraday Daily Levels Pro is made for:
- Day traders and scalpers
- Index and FX traders
- Prop firm challenge trading
- Traders using ICT/SMC-style levels, liquidity, and range logic
- Anyone who wants a clean, institutional-style daily framework without noise
You get:
Previous Day OHLC
Mid / Q1 / Q3 of the previous range
Previous-Day Pivots (P, S1, S2, R1, R2)
1-Day ADR Bands around Previous Day Open
All calculated only from closed data, updated once per day, and then locked.
Obsidian Flux Matrix# Obsidian Flux Matrix | JackOfAllTrades
Made with my Senior Level AI Pine Script v6 coding bot for the community!
Narrative Overview
Obsidian Flux Matrix (OFM) is an open-source Pine Script v6 study that fuses social sentiment, higher timeframe trend bias, fair-value-gap detection, liquidity raids, VWAP gravitation, session profiling, and a diagnostic HUD. The layout keeps the obsidian palette so critical overlays stay readable without overwhelming a price chart.
Purpose & Scope
OFM focuses on actionable structure rather than marketing claims. It documents every driver that powers its confluence engine so reviewers understand what triggers each visual.
Core Analytical Pillars
1. Social Pulse Engine
Sentiment Webhook Feed: Accepts normalized scores (-1 to +1). Signals only arm when the EMA-smoothed value exceeds the `sentimentMin` input (0.35 by default).
Volume Confirmation: Requires local volume > 30-bar average × `volSpikeMult` (default 2.0) before sentiment flags.
EMA Cross Validation: Fast EMA 8 crossing above/below slow EMA 21 keeps momentum aligned with flow.
Momentum Alignment: Multi-timeframe momentum composite must agree (positive for longs, negative for shorts).
2. Peer Momentum Heatmap
Multi-Timeframe Blend: RSI + Stoch RSI fetched via request.security() on 1H/4H/1D by default.
Composite Scoring: Each timeframe votes +1/-1/0; totals are clamped between -3 and +3.
Intraday Readability: Configurable band thickness (1-5) so scalpers see context without losing space.
Dynamic Opacity: Stronger agreement boosts column opacity for quick bias checks.
3. Trend & Displacement Framework
Dual EMA Ribbon: Cyan/magenta ribbon highlights immediate posture.
HTF Bias: A higher-timeframe EMA (default 55 on 4H) sets macro direction.
Displacement Score: Body-to-ATR ratio (>1.4 default) detects impulses that seed FVGs or VWAP raids.
ATR Normalization: All thresholds float with volatility so the study adapts to assets and regimes.
4. Intelligent Fair Value Gap (FVG) System
Gap Detection: Three-candle logic (bullish: low > high ; bearish: high < low ) with ATR-sized minimums (0.15 × ATR default).
Overlap Prevention: Price-range checks stop redundant boxes.
Spacing Control: `fvgMinSpacing` (default 5) avoids stacking from the same impulse.
Storage Caps: Max three FVGs per side unless the user widens the limit.
Session Awareness: Kill zone filters keep taps focused on London/NY if desired.
Auto Cleanup: Boxes delete when price closes beyond their invalidation level.
5. VWAP Magnet + Liquidity Raid Engine
Session or Rolling VWAP: Toggle resets to match intraday or rolling preferences.
Equal High/Low Scanner: Looks back 20 bars by default for liquidity pools.
Displacement Filter: ATR multiplier ensures raids represent genuine liquidity sweeps.
Mean Reversion Focus: Signals fire when price displaces back toward VWAP following a raid.
6. Session Range Breakout System
Initial Balance Tracking: First N bars (15 default) define the session box.
Breakout Logic: Requires simultaneous liquidity spikes, nearby FVG activity, and supportive momentum.
Z-Score Volume Filter: >1.5σ by default to filter noisy moves.
7. Lifestyle Liquidity Scanner
Volume Z-Scores: 50-bar baseline highlights statistically significant spikes.
Smart Money Footprints: Bottom-of-chart squares color-code buy vs sell participation.
Panel Memory: HUD logs the last five raid timestamps, direction, and normalized size.
8. Risk Matrix & Diagnostic HUD
HUD Structure: Table in the top-right summarizes HTF bias, sentiment, momentum, range state, liquidity memory, and current risk references.
Signal Tags: Aggregates SPS, FVG, VWAP, Range, and Liquidity states into a compact string.
Risk Metrics: Swing-based stops (5-bar lookback) + ATR targets (1.5× default) keep risk transparent.
Signal Families & Alerts
Social Pulse (SPS): Volume-confirmed sentiment alignment; triangle markers with “SPS”.
Kill-Zone FVG: Session + HTF alignment + FVG tap; arrow markers plus SL/TP labels.
Local FVG: Captures local reversals when HTF bias has not flipped yet.
VWAP Raid: Equal-high/low raids that snap toward VWAP; “VWAP” label markers.
Range Breakout: Initial balance violations with liquidity and imbalance confirmation; circle markers.
Liquidity Spike: Z-score spikes ≥ threshold; square markers along the baseline.
Visual Design & Customization
Theme Palette: Primary background RGB (12,6,24). Accent shading RGB (26,10,48). Long accents RGB (88,174,255). Short accents RGB (219,109,255).
Stylized Candles: Optional overlay using theme colors.
Signal Toggles: Independently enable markers, heatmap, and diagnostics.
Label Spacing: Auto-spacing enforces ≥4-bar gaps to prevent text overlap.
Customization & Workflow Notes
Adjust ATR/FVG thresholds when volatility shifts.
Re-anchor sentiment to your webhook cadence; EMA smoothing (default 5) dampens noise.
Reposition the HUD by editing the `table.new` coordinates.
Use multiples of the chart timeframe for HTF requests to minimize load.
Session inputs accept exchange-local time; align them to your market.
Performance & Compliance
Pure Pine v6: Single-line statements, no `lookahead_on`.
Resource Safe: Arrays trimmed, boxes limited, `request.security` cached.
Repaint Awareness: Signals confirm on close; alerts mirror on-chart logic.
Runtime Safety: Arrays/loops guard against `na`.
Use Cases
Measure when social sentiment aligns with structure.
Plan ICT-style intraday rebalances around session-specific FVG taps.
Fade VWAP raids when displacement shows exhaustion.
Watch initial balance breaks backed by statistical volume.
Keep risk/target references anchored in ATR logic.
Signal Logic Snapshot
Social Pulse Long/Short: `sentimentEMA` gated by `sentimentMin`, `volSpike`, EMA 8/21 cross, and `momoComposite` sign agreement. Keeps hype tied to structural follow-through.
Kill-Zone FVG Long/Short: Requires session filter, HTF EMA bias alignment, and an active FVG tap (`bullFvgTap` / `bearFvgTap`). Labels include swing stops + ATR targets pulled from `swingLookback` and `liqTargetMultiple`.
Local FVG Long/Short: Uses `localBullish` / `localBearish` heuristics (EMA slope, displacement, sequential closes) to surface intraday reversals even when HTF bias has not flipped.
VWAP Raids: Detect equal-high/equal-low sweeps (`raidHigh`, `raidLow`) that revert toward `sessionVwap` or rolling VWAP when displacement exceeds `vwapAlertDisplace`.
Range Breakouts: Combine `rangeComplete`, breakout confirmation, liquidity spikes, and nearby FVG activity for statistically backed initial balance breaks.
Liquidity Spikes: Volume Z-score > `zScoreThreshold` logs direction, size, and timestamp for the HUD and optional review workflows.
Session Logic & VWAP Handling
Kill zone + NY session inputs use TradingView’s session strings; `f_inSession()` drives both visual shading and whether FVG taps are tradeable when `killZoneOnly` is true.
Session VWAP resets using cumulative price × volume sums that restart when the daily timestamp changes; rolling VWAP falls back to `ta.vwap(hlc3)` for instruments where daily resets are less relevant.
Initial balance box (`rangeBars` input) locks once complete, extends forward, and stays on chart to contextualize later liquidity raids or breakouts.
Parameter Reference
Trend: `emaFastLen`, `emaSlowLen`, `htfResolution`, `htfEmaLen`, `showEmaRibbon`, `showHtfBiasLine`.
Momentum: `tf1`, `tf2`, `tf3`, `rsiLen`, `stochLen`, `stochSmooth`, `heatmapHeight`.
Volume/Liquidity: `volLookback`, `volSpikeMult`, `zScoreLen`, `zScoreThreshold`, `equalLookback`.
VWAP & Sessions: `vwapMode`, `showVwapLine`, `vwapAlertDisplace`, `killSession`, `nySession`, `showSessionShade`, `rangeBars`.
FVG/Risk: `fvgMinTicks`, `fvgLookback`, `fvgMinSpacing`, `killZoneOnly`, `liqTargetMultiple`, `swingLookback`.
Visualization Toggles: `showSignalMarkers`, `showHeatmapBand`, `showInfoPanel`, `showStylizedCandles`.
Workflow Recipes
Kill-Zone Continuation: During the defined kill session, look for `killFvgLong` or `killFvgShort` arrows that line up with `sentimentValid` and positive `momoComposite`. Use the HUD’s risk readout to confirm SL/TP distances before entering.
VWAP Raid Fade: Outside kill zone, track `raidToVwapLong/Short`. Confirm the candle body exceeds the displacement multiplier, and price crosses back toward VWAP before considering reversions.
Range Break Monitor: After the initial balance locks, mark `rangeBreakLong/Short` circles only when the momentum band is >0 or <0 respectively and a fresh FVG box sits near price.
Liquidity Spike Review: When the HUD shows “Liquidity” timestamps, hover the plotted squares at chart bottom to see whether spikes were buy/sell oriented and if local FVGs formed immediately after.

Dual SMT - Standard & Hidden [Pogiest]General
Smart Money Technique (SMT) involves identifying divergences in a correlated asset triad to predict new phases of price, a shift in market sentiment, and also potential trend reversals. An SMT divergence occurs when one or two assets makes a new high or low, but the other asset or assets does not, signaling a potential shift in market direction. A Hidden SMT Divergence occurs when one or two assets’ closing price closes higher or lower than the other one or two assets’ closing price. However, with potential gaps in price, an opening price can also be the extreme when comparing assets for divergences. Hidden SMT divergence compares the candle bodies while a Standard SMT divergence compares the highs and lows. Both types of SMTs are considered to be cracks in correlation and can be used to identify potential new phases of price whether it be a reversal, retracement, consolidation, and continuation.
Note: Credit of concepts/ideas goes to ICT and TraderDaye.
What Makes This Indicator Unique
The indicator has the ability to display Standard SMTs, Hidden SMTs, or both simultaneously in real-time, tick by tick in the time period selected in a correlated asset triad. Toggle modes for each type of SMT will run independently (runs when enabled) and therefore, optimizes performance. Option to select three different tickers in settings instead of limiting analysis to pairs makes this indicator more versatile. In addition, the indicator has “Invert” toggle options to track both Standard and Hidden SMTs for assets with negative correlations.
Instead of confirming SMT by selecting the number of pivots to look back for detection and confirmation, lines will be plotted on the chart on the first tick it detects a divergence. This can help traders anticipate SMTs in advance and give early warnings instead of waiting for a pivot confirmation. Active lines are displayed on the chart when the indicator identifies a divergence from the current time range to the previous time range in a correlated asset triad. These lines will move dynamically tick by tick on the chart and are anchored to the exact high/lows (Standard SMT) or bodies extremes (Hidden SMT). For inverted symbols, the lines will plot at the inverted anchor points. If new extremes are being made, the lines will move dynamically with the current forming candle for visual precision. During the current time period, the indicator continues to scan for new highs/lows as well as scanning the body high/lows while making line adjustments automatically. Lines will get deleted once the SMT becomes invalid.
The indicator is also designed for consecutive time ranges or cycles. Users are able to select the timeframe to monitor divergences which the indicator has multiple options to choose from including the most used timeframes (i.e. Monthly, Weekly, Daily, 6HR, 4HR, 90M, 1HR, 30M, 15M, etc). For example, if the 90m timeframe is selected, then the indicator will scan for divergences at the extremes in the current 90m cycle and compare the extremes to the previous 90m cycle. The indicator is designed to work when viewing lower timeframes while selecting higher timeframe cycles in settings.
There are four separate alert systems included in this indicator consisting of Standard bull/bear and Hidden bull/bear. Indicator is mode-aware and only triggers when alerts are enabled.
Dynamic Capabilities
Active (Real-Time):
For Standard SMT (High/Low), the indicator scans for divergences using the absolute highs and lows of each candle:
• Bull SMT: Compares the lowest points (wicks included).
• Bear SMT: Compares the highest points (wicks included).
In addition to SMT lines being plotted immediately after detection and lines moving dynamically at new high/low extremes, the indicator will remove the SMT automatically at the first tick it detects the divergence becoming invalid (i.e. all assets made a higher high or lower low in two consecutive time periods). Standard SMT labels are displayed as "SMT - TF" and are anchored to the center of the SMT line.
For Hidden SMT (Bodies), the indicator scans for divergences using only the candle body extremes (open/close, ignoring wicks):
• Bull SMT: Compares the lowest body prices (min of open/close) - divergence based on where bodies close, not wicks.
• Bear SMT: Compares the highest body prices (max of open/close) - divergence based on where bodies close, not wicks.
In addition to SMT lines being plotted immediately after detection and lines moving dynamically following the body high/low extremes, the indicator will remove the SMT automatically once the divergence becomes invalid (i.e. all assets made a higher high or lower low with the body extremes in two consecutive time periods). Hidden SMT labels are displayed as "SMT - TF" and are anchored to the center of the SMT line.
Historical (Fixed Plotting):
Once an SMT divergence (Standard or Hidden) was active and the current time range completes, the SMT line will be plotted and fixed on the chart as a historical line as the new time range starts. When the new time range starts, the cycle resets and the indicator scans for a new active SMT line in the current time range compared to the previous time range. Historical lines are stored for Standard SMT (up to 5) and Hidden SMT (up to 5) for the most recent lines.
Inverse SMT lines (Negative Correlation):
Assets with a negative correlation can be selected in settings with the Invert toggle option selected in settings. SMT divergences for both Standard and Hidden SMTs will be plotted on the chart at their respective anchor points from the previous time cycle to the current time cycle. Lines will behave normally as how it functions when the invert toggle is deselected. However, the lines are inverted on the chart with bullish SMT lines at the highs or bearish SMT lines at the lows.
Usage
Traders can use both types of SMT divergences to anticipate potential reversals in points of interest such as higher timeframe swing points, supply/demand zones, higher timeframe imbalances, key levels, etc. This indicator can also be beneficial in identifying cracks in correlation via Hidden SMT when there are no divergences off the highs and lows. SMT divergences (standard and hidden) can be used as a confirmation tool with other confluences to identify trend direction with respect to points of interest, higher timeframe order-flow, lower timeframe order-flow, etc. In addition, having both a Standard SMT and Hidden SMT divergence display could potentially signal a reversal. It is up to the trader to gauge the price action at the time.
Settings
1. Choose up to three different assets to monitor.
Note: If only two are selected, the indicator will only display the two selected and compare the two assets for divergences.
2. Choose up to one timeframe to monitor.
3. Enable/disable Invert mode.
4. For Standard and Hidden SMT: Enable/disable SMT-Active lines, option to change line style, line width, bull SMT line color, bear SMT line color, and bull/bear label text color.
5. For Standard and Hidden SMT: Enable/disable Historical SMT lines, adjust max historical SMT signals to be displayed (up to 5), option to change line style, line width, bull SMT line color, bear SMT line color, and bull/bear label text color.
6. For Standard and Hidden SMT: Show/hide SMT Labels and adjustable label offset.
7. Shared Label Settings: Adjust label size.
8. Enable/disable SMT Active alerts for Standard and Hidden SMT.

5min ORB - HenryJ5min ORB, for ICT trading
Strategy Implementation: The main goal is to identify and visually mark the trading range established during the first 5 minutes of the regular trading session.
Time Definition: It measures the Highest High and Lowest Low recorded from the session open (minute 0) up to the close of the 5th minute.
Visual Marking: It draws two distinct horizontal line segments on the chart:
One line marks the High of the 5-minute Opening Range.
One line marks the Low of the 5-minute Opening Range.
Drawing Window: The lines are intentionally drawn starting from the 6th minute (after the range is fully established) and extend up to the 60th minute of the trading session. This ensures the lines are available to guide trades for the first hour after the opening volatility subsides.
Labeling: It includes a "5min ORB" text label placed near the high line, clearly identifying the range.

SMT Alert MTF [Elykia]SMT Alert MTF - Smart Money Divergence Scanner
Overview
The SMT Alert MTF is an essential productivity tool for traders applying ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and SMC (Smart Money Concepts).
An SMT divergence ("Smart Money Technique") is one of the most powerful signals to confirm a trend reversal or market manipulation. It occurs when two highly correlated assets (e.g., Nasdaq and S&P500) move out of sync.
Instead of monitoring 3 different charts across 5 different timeframes manually, this indicator scans everything in the background and alerts you the moment a divergence appears.
💎 The Strategy: How to trade SMT?
SMT is not a blind entry signal; it is a confirmation tool.
1. The Context: Wait for price to reach a Key Level (POI, Order Block) or perform a Liquidity Sweep.
2. The Signal (Desynchronization):
Bullish SMT: Asset A makes a Lower Low, but correlated Asset B makes a Higher Low (Refusal to go lower). This indicates institutional accumulation.
Bearish SMT: Asset A makes a Higher High, but correlated Asset B makes a Lower High (Weakness). This indicates distribution.
Execution: Once the SMT alert triggers on your timeframe (e.g., M1 or M5), look for a Change of Character (CHoCH) to enter the trade.
Key Features & Benefits
⚡ Multi-Timeframe Scanner (MTF): Monitor up to 5 timeframes simultaneously (e.g., 1m, 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h) on a single chart.
🔄 Smart Asset Detection: The script automatically recognizes your current chart and selects the relevant comparison assets:
Trading NQ (Nasdaq) -> Compares with ES (S&P500).
Trading 6E (Euro) -> Compares with 6B (British Pound).
Trading Gold -> Compares with Silver.
(You can also manually override with any symbol).
👀 Visual Clarity: A divergence line is drawn directly on price action (Red for Bearish, Blue for Bullish) labeled with the divergent ticker.
🔔 Comprehensive Alerts: Set up specific alerts for each timeframe (e.g., "Alert me only for M5 or M15 SMT").
Recommended Settings
1. Enable M1, M5, and M15 timeframes for intraday scalping.
2. Keep the automatic symbol detection enabled for Indices and Futures.
⚠️ DISCLAIMER
This indicator is for educational purposes only. Trading involves a high level of risk. SMT divergences should be used in confluence with other technical analysis factors. The author is not responsible for any financial losses.

A+ Model - Cave EducationHere is a comprehensive and detailed explanation of the "A+ Model - Cave Education" Pine Script code.
This script is a sophisticated technical analysis tool designed for TradingView. It assists traders in identifying specific institutional time windows, price ranges (sessions), and "Macro" volatility periods based on the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) or similar time-based trading concepts.
Below is the breakdown of how the code functions, organized by its logic sections.
1. General Overview
The script is an overlay indicator (it sits directly on the price chart). Its primary purpose is to:
Highlight a specific trading session (The "A+ Box") and mark its High/Low.
Mark key institutional times (07:00 NY and 09:30 NY Open).
Identify "Macro" windows (specific 20-minute periods where algorithms are active) and draw dynamic ranges around them based on volatility (ATR).
Project future times onto the chart to help the trader prepare for the next day.
2. Settings & Inputs (User Configuration)
The code begins by defining a vast array of user inputs, grouped for better usability:
General Time & Box: Allows the user to define the "A+ Session" time (default 20:00-00:00) and the Time Zone (UTC-5/New York). It also handles the visual style (colors) of the session box.
Visibility: A crucial performance and visual clutter setting. boxDays limits how far back the A+ boxes and time lines are drawn (default 14 days). Macros are strictly limited to the current week to prevent chart lagging.
Line & Text Controls: Every visual element (A+ lines, NY markers, Macros) has toggles (input.bool) to show/hide the lines or the text labels separately.
Macro Settings: Defines the time windows for three separate macros and an ATR Multiplier. The ATR multiplier determines how wide the channel lines are drawn around the macro price action.
3. Logic Breakdown by Section
Section 1: The "A+ Draw" Box (Session Range)
This is the core of the A+ Model.
Logic: The script checks if the current bar is within the user-defined sessionTime.
Box Creation:
When the session starts, it initializes a new Box (box.new).
Throughout the session, it continuously updates the Box's Top (Highest High) and Bottom (Lowest Low) to encompass the full range of that time period.
Extension Lines (Support/Resistance):
Once the session ends, the script draws two horizontal lines: one from the Session High and one from the Session Low.
Smart Break Logic: These lines are active (highActive, lowActive). They extend to the right until the price breaks them (High line is broken by a higher price, Low line by a lower price). This helps traders see if the session range is being respected or broken later in the day.
Section 2: Time Lines (NY Midnight & Open)
This section marks vertical reference points.
It checks for specific times: 07:00 and 09:30 (in the user's timezone).
If the current bar matches these times, it draws a vertical line (line.new) covering the High/Low of that bar and places a label (e.g., "NY." or "09:30") above it.
This helps the trader orient themselves regarding the New York session Open and the "Killzone" start.
Section 3: Macros (Volatility Windows)
This is the most complex calculation in the script.
Definition: Macros are specific time windows (e.g., 09:50–10:10) where price delivery is often accelerated.
Visibility Rule: To keep the script fast, this only runs if isCurrentWeek is true.
ATR Offset: The script calculates the Average True Range (ATR). It uses this to create a "channel" around the price.
Drawing Logic:
When a Macro time starts, the script tracks the Highest High and Lowest Low inside that specific 20-minute window.
It draws parallel horizontal lines above and below these prices.
The Twist: The lines are not drawn at the High/Low. They are offset by ATR * Multiplier. This creates a wider "zone" around the macro price action, visually indicating a volatility range.
Section 4: Future Projection (Tomorrow)
This feature is for planning ahead.
It runs only on the last bar of the chart (barstate.islast).
It calculates the timestamps for the next occurrence of the key times (07:00, 09:30, and all three Macros).
It draws vertical lines into the future (empty space on the right of the chart).
Benefit: The trader can see exactly where 09:30 or the next Macro will occur on the timeline before the candles even print.
4. Helper Functions
The code uses custom functions to keep the logic clean:
f_drawFuture(...): A standardized function to draw the future vertical lines and labels so the code doesn't have to repeat itself for every single time marker.
isStartTime(...) & isInTime(...): Shorthand functions to check if the current candle belongs to a specific session string (like "0950-1010").
Summary of Improvements in this Version
Compared to a standard indicator, this script is highly optimized:
Text Control: You can turn off text labels while keeping the lines (or vice versa).
Performance: It limits historical drawing (only 14 days back for boxes, only this week for macros) to prevent "Maximum Line Count" errors in Pine Script.
Visual Clarity: It uses different colors for different Macros (Blue, Red, Orange) to make them instantly distinguishable.
FVG [Stansbooth]Fair Value Gap (FVG) Indicator
Spot Institutional Imbalances. Trade the Rebalance.
Fair Value Gaps reveal where price moved so aggressively that it left behind untraded zones—areas where smart money is likely to return.
What It Detects
Bullish FVG : Gap between Candle 1's high and Candle 3's low — expect price to retrace here for longs
Bearish FVG : Gap between Candle 1's low and Candle 3's high — watch for shorts on the pullback
Why Traders Love It
Markets hate inefficiency. When price rockets through a zone without proper auction, it creates a magnet for future price action. This indicator automatically identifies these imbalances so you can anticipate high-probability reversal and continuation zones.
Features
Auto-detection of bullish and bearish FVGs
Customizable gap visualization
Works on all timeframes and instruments
Clean, non-repainting logic
Best Used With
Order blocks, liquidity sweeps, and market structure breaks for confluence-based entries aligned with ICT and smart money concepts.
Trade where institutions trade. Let price come to you.

This edition focuses on precision, clarity, and real usability.
The logic is light, efficient, and suited for real-time execution on very fast charts.
📌 Note
This tool does not generate trade signals by itself.
It is designed as a market structure map for traders who already understand Smart Money principles such as:
