CandelaCharts - 1st Presented FVG 📝 Overview
The ICT 1st Presented Fair Value Gap refers to the first FVG that forms after the market opens at 9:30 AM New York local time. In a sideways market, it often acts as a catalyst for price movement in either direction, while in trending conditions, it tends to support and reinforce the prevailing trend.
This indicator automatically identifies the first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms after the New York session opens at 9:30 AM local time. Based on concepts taught by Inner Circle Trader (ICT), the 1st Presented FVG is a key institutional price imbalance that often sets the tone for the trading day.

📒 Usage
How to Use the ICT 1st Presented Fair Value Gap in Trading
To apply the ICT 1st Presented Fair Value Gap (FVG), identify the first fair value gap of the day and extend it across the chart until 3:45 PM New York time.
You’ll often notice that some of the best trade setups form around this level. It tends to act as a key reference point for price action during the day—especially on trending days, where price frequently returns to this gap before continuing in its direction.
This level can also serve as an inverse fair value gap, offering opportunities in the opposite direction under the right conditions.
How to Disqualify the 1st Presented Fair Value Gap?
When the first fair value gap forms after 9:30 AM New York time, check the candles that came just before it.
If the candlestick that creates the FVG doesn’t break above or below the range of those previous candles, then it’s not a true inefficiency. In that case, it’s considered a disqualified 1st Presented Fair Value Gap—meaning it shouldn’t be used as a key reference level.
Refer to the example below to see what this looks like on the chart.
🚨 Alerts
This script provides alert options for all signals.
Bearish Signal
A bearish signal is triggered when the bearish 1st P.FVG is formed in interval 09:30 - 10:00.
Bullish Signal
A bullish signal is triggered when the bullish 1st P.FVG is formed in interval 09:30 - 10:00.

[Pandora's Chambers] Liquidity Zones F[attr_rep] V1The Liquidity Zones F V1 indicator merges visual liquidity‐zone analysis with a mathematical model that quantifies opposing market forces. It scans a historical lookback window to compute average volume (avgVol), aggregates cumulative buy/sell volumes, detects significant wicks, and renders main and dotted lines plus background fills to show pressure at each price level. After constructing these graphic elements, it scores each signal (up to 130 points) and converts it into a percentage (0–100%) mapped onto a five‑domain polar scale:
0–50: Negative dominance
50–60: Initial equilibrium
60–75: Positive momentum build‑up
75–80: Decay of positive effect
80–100: Positive overextension with reversal potential
1. How It Works
Lookback & avgVol:
– Computes a simple moving average of volume over lookback bars.
cumBuy / cumSell:
– Adds volume to cumBuy when bar close > open; to cumSell when close < open.
Wick Detection:
– Flags bars whose wick length exceeds body length; records creation price, wickFactor, and volume.
Line Creation:
– For each strong wick, draws a solid “main” line and a dotted “secondary” line, with placeholder labels.
Scoring & Chance%:
– On each new bar, computes volume delta since creation, applies weighted scoring (wickFactor, volume ratio, proximity, leverage, imbalance) up to 130 points.
– Converts score to chancePerc (0–100%).
Style & Label Updates:
– ≥76%: dashed line; 50–76%: solid or dotted by classification; <50%: dotted “F_attr.”
– Labels show “F_rep …” or “F_attr X%.”
Magnet Lines:
– Identifies lowest bullish‐main price and highest bearish‐main price, computes midPrice and relative fraction, then calculates targetPrice A/B.
– Draws dotted magnet lines and labels “liquidity force (+)/(–)” beside price chart.
Background Fill:
– Fills area between midPrice and bullishTarget in bullish color; between midPrice and bearishTarget in bearish color.
2. Settings & Inputs
Parameter Default Description
lookback 200 Number of bars to calculate average and cumulative volumes.
offsetDot 0.0002 Vertical spacing between dotted lines.
ratioLineLength 8 Length (in bars) of the magnet line.
ratioLineOffset 8 Horizontal offset (bars) for magnet placement.
ratioLineWidth 1 Width of magnet lines (1–10).
bullish_line_color #00BCD4 Color for bullish main and dotted lines.
bearish_line_color #BA68C8 Color for bearish main and dotted lines.
Advanced Tweaks:
Adjust the number of dotted “grade” lines per wick or modify the scoring thresholds for custom classification.
3. Interpretation & Polar Scale
The x value (chancePerc) is interpreted across five polar domains for concise force balance reading:
0 ≤ x < 50: Selling dominance – consider exit or avoidance.
50 ≤ x < 60: Early balance – await confirmation.
60 ≤ x < 75: Rising buy pressure.
75 ≤ x < 80: Slowing bullish momentum.
80 ≤ x ≤ 100: Overextended bullish – watch for potential reversal.
Wick Sweep & Liquidity Grab DetectorThis indicator helps you spot those subtle yet powerful market moments when price just barely sweeps the wick of the previous candle — triggering stops and grabbing liquidity — before pulling back to close inside the prior range .
These wick sweeps are classic signs of:
Stop hunts
Liquidity grabs
Trap candles
Or even smart money entries
You'll see:
🟢 A green dot when price wicks below the previous low but closes back inside — potential bullish reversal zone.
🔴 A red dot when price wicks above the previous high but closes back inside — potential bearish reversal zone.
Great for traders using:
Smart Money Concepts (SMC)
ICT-style setups
Reversal scalps
Or anyone looking to trade around liquidity zones
Includes built-in alerts for both bullish and bearish wick sweeps, and is designed with a clean, minimalist look to reduce chart noise.
Use this tool in confluence with your other edge — order blocks, imbalance zones, BOS/CHOCH, etc.
Supply/Demand Zones (Synthetic SMA Candles)Supply/Demand Zones (Synthetic SMA Candles)
Created by The_Forex_Steward
This indicator highlights institutional-style supply and demand zones using synthetic SMA-based candles rather than raw price data. It provides a smoother, more refined view of price action to help identify key imbalance areas where price is likely to react.
Features:
- Uses SMA-smoothed synthetic candles to detect bullish and bearish engulfing structures
- Draws demand zones after bullish breakouts and supply zones after bearish breakouts
- Zones are persistent for a customizable number of bars
- Mitigated zones can optionally be removed from the chart
- Includes alerts for breakout and mitigation events
- Optional plotting of synthetic candles over price for visual clarity
How It Works:
When a synthetic candle closes above the high of a previous bearish candle, a bullish engulfing is detected, and a demand zone is created from that bearish candle’s high and low. Conversely, when price closes below the low of a previous bullish candle, a supply zone is formed. These zones stay on the chart for the user-defined duration or until they are mitigated by price, at which point they can be removed automatically.
How to Use:
- Adjust the SMA Length to control how smooth the synthetic candles appear
- Enable or disable Show Supply Zones and Show Demand Zones as needed
- Set the Zone Duration to control how long each zone persists
- Use Delete Mitigated Zones to automatically remove zones when price returns to them
- Optionally enable Show Synthetic SMA Candles to see the candle logic used in detection
- Use the built-in alerts to stay notified of new zone creation or mitigation
Note: This tool is most effective when combined with structure or trend-based strategies for confirmation.
Yelober_Momentum_BreadthMI# Yelober_Momentum_BreadthMI: Market Breadth Indicator Analysis
## Overview
The Yelober_Momentum_BreadthMI is a comprehensive market breadth indicator designed to monitor market internals across NYSE and NASDAQ exchanges. It tracks several key metrics including up/down volume ratios, TICK readings, and trend momentum to provide traders with real-time insights into market direction, strength, and potential turning points.
## Indicator Components
This indicator displays a table with data for:
- NYSE breadth metrics
- NASDAQ breadth metrics
- NYSE TICK data and trends
- NASDAQ TICK (TICKQ) data and trends
## Table Columns and Interpretation
### Column 1: Market
Identifies the data source:
- **NYSE**: New York Stock Exchange data
- **NASDAQ**: NASDAQ exchange data
- **Tick**: NYSE TICK index
- **TickQ**: NASDAQ TICK index
### Column 2: Ratio
Shows the current ratio values with different calculations depending on the row:
- **For NYSE/NASDAQ rows**: Displays the up/down volume ratio
- Positive values (green): More up volume than down volume
- Negative values (red): More down volume than up volume
- The magnitude indicates the strength of the imbalance
- **For Tick/TickQ rows**: Shows the ratio of positive to negative ticks plus the current TICK reading in parentheses
- Format: "Ratio (Current TICK value)"
- Positive values (green): More stocks ticking up than down
- Negative values (red): More stocks ticking down than up
### Column 3: Trend
Displays the directional trend with both a symbol and value:
- **For NYSE/NASDAQ rows**: Shows the VOLD (volume difference) slope
- "↗": Rising trend (positive slope)
- "↘": Falling trend (negative slope)
- "→": Neutral/flat trend (minimal slope)
- **For Tick/TickQ rows**: Shows the slope of the ratio history
- Color-coding: Green for positive momentum, Red for negative momentum, Gray for neutral
The trend column is particularly important as it shows the current momentum of the market. The indicator applies specific thresholds for color-coding:
- NYSE: Green when normalized value > 2, Red when < -2
- NASDAQ: Green when normalized value > 3.5, Red when < -3.5
- TICK/TICKQ: Green when slope > 0.01, Red when slope < -0.01
## How to Use This Indicator
### Basic Interpretation
1. **Market Direction**: When multiple rows show green ratios and upward trends, it suggests strong bullish market internals. Conversely, red ratios and downward trends indicate bearish internals.
2. **Market Breadth**: The magnitude of the ratios indicates how broad-based the market movement is. Higher absolute values suggest stronger market breadth.
3. **Momentum Shifts**: When trend arrows change direction or colors shift, it may signal a potential reversal or change in market momentum.
4. **Divergences**: Look for divergences between different markets (NYSE vs NASDAQ) or between ratios and trends, which can indicate potential market turning points.
### Advanced Usage
- **Volume Normalization**: The indicator includes options to normalize volume data (none, tens, thousands, millions, 10th millions) to handle different exchange scales.
- **Trend Averaging**: The slope calculation uses an averaging period (default: 5) to smooth out noise and identify more reliable trend signals.
## Examples for Interpretation
### Example 1: Strong Bullish Market
```
| Market | Ratio | Trend |
|--------|---------|-----------|
| NYSE | 1.75 | ↗ 2.85 |
| NASDAQ | 2.10 | ↗ 4.12 |
| Tick | 2.45 (485) | ↗ 0.05 |
| TickQ | 1.95 (320) | ↗ 0.03 |
```
**Interpretation**: All metrics are positive and trending upward (green), indicating a strong, broad-based rally. The high ratio values show significant bullish dominance. This suggests continuation of the upward move with good momentum.
### Example 2: Weakening Market
```
| Market | Ratio | Trend |
|--------|---------|-----------|
| NYSE | 0.45 | ↘ -1.50 |
| NASDAQ | 0.85 | → 0.30 |
| Tick | 0.95 (105) | ↘ -0.02 |
| TickQ | 1.20 (160) | → 0.00 |
```
**Interpretation**: The market is showing mixed signals with positive but low ratios, while NYSE and TICK trends are turning negative. NASDAQ shows neutral to slightly positive momentum. This divergence often occurs near market tops or during consolidation phases. Traders should be cautious and consider reducing position sizes.
### Example 3: Negative Market Turning Positive
```
| Market | Ratio | Trend |
|--------|---------|-----------|
| NYSE | -1.25 | ↗ 1.75 |
| NASDAQ | -0.95 | ↗ 2.80 |
| Tick | -1.35 (-250) | ↗ 0.04 |
| TickQ | -1.10 (-180) | ↗ 0.02 |
```
**Interpretation**: This is a potential bottoming pattern. Current ratios are still negative (red) showing overall negative breadth, but the trends are all positive (green arrows), indicating improving momentum. This divergence often occurs at market bottoms and could signal an upcoming reversal. Look for confirmation with price action before establishing long positions.
### Example 4: Mixed Market with Divergence
```
| Market | Ratio | Trend |
|--------|---------|-----------|
| NYSE | 1.45 | ↘ -2.25 |
| NASDAQ | -0.85 | ↘ -3.80 |
| Tick | 1.20 (230) | ↘ -0.03 |
| TickQ | -0.75 (-120) | ↘ -0.02 |
```
**Interpretation**: There's a significant divergence between NYSE (positive ratio) and NASDAQ (negative ratio), while all trends are negative. This suggests sector rotation or a market that's weakening but with certain segments still showing strength. Often seen during late-stage bull markets or in transitions between leadership groups. Consider reducing risk exposure and focusing on relative strength sectors.
## Practical Trading Applications
1. **Confirmation Tool**: Use this indicator to confirm price movements. Strong breadth readings in the direction of the price trend increase confidence in trade decisions.
2. **Early Warning System**: Watch for divergences between price and breadth metrics, which often precede market turns.
3. **Intraday Trading**: The real-time nature of TICK and volume data makes this indicator valuable for day traders to gauge intraday momentum shifts.
4. **Market Regime Identification**: Sustained readings can help identify whether the market is in a trend or chop regime, allowing for appropriate strategy selection.
This breadth indicator is most effective when used in conjunction with price action and other technical indicators rather than in isolation.
Liquidity Hunter HeatmapLiquidity Hunter (GPS Companion Tool)
Liquidity Hunter is a specialized script designed to help traders visualize and track potential liquidation zones, clusters, and imbalance traps in real-time. It is particularly useful for scalpers and short-term traders who rely on liquidity sweeps, stop hunts, and reversion plays.
This tool does not replicate open-source liquidation trackers. Instead, it uses a proprietary combination of volume surges, candle displacement, VWAP deviation, and high-timeframe wicks to infer areas of trapped traders and display them with clear, color-coded markers.
Key Features:
• Real-Time Liquidation Estimates: Detects where major stop losses (and potential liquidations) may have occurred, based on proprietary volume + price action logic.
• Cluster Strength Bubbles: Visual bubbles (scaled by cluster size) show where liquidations are stacking. Purple for bearish, white for bullish — intensity reflects strength.
• Pre-Liquidation Warning Zones: Highlights areas where price is likely to sweep liquidity before reversing, helping traders avoid chasing moves.
• Dollar-Based Labels (Optional): Displays the estimated value liquidated, helping traders size the significance of a move (e.g., $8.4M).
• Minimal Clutter Mode: Designed for intraday clarity — hides excess lines and uses bubbles, not shapes, for cleaner visualization.

Intra_Candle_Welding by Chaitu50cIntra Candle Welding by Chaitu50c
This is a professional price action–based indicator designed to automatically detect and visualize *intra-candle reversal zones* using simple yet powerful logic. It highlights price levels where two consecutive opposite candles meet with a high probability of short-term market reaction.
Concept
The indicator identifies potential intraday support and resistance levels based on the "Intra Candle Welding" concept: when the close of one candle is very close to the open of the next candle, and the two candles have opposite directions (bullish followed by bearish, or bearish followed by bullish). These levels often attract market attention due to order flow imbalance created during such transitions.
How It Works
1. The indicator continuously monitors each new candle and checks if the current open is approximately equal to the previous close, within a configurable buffer.
2. It further ensures that the two candles form an opposite pair (green→red or red→green).
3. When a valid pair is detected, the indicator checks for existing active lines near this level. If no active line exists within the defined tolerance, it draws a new horizontal line at the detected level.
4. Each line is classified as either a potential resistance (from green→red pair) or support (from red→green pair).
5. Lines automatically extend rightward and update with each bar. If price breaks through the line beyond a configurable break buffer, the line stops extending and is visually marked as "broken."
6. The indicator intelligently manages the maximum number of lines on the chart by deleting the oldest ones when the limit is exceeded.
Use Case
Traders can use this tool to identify short-term reaction zones and potential intraday turning points. The highlighted levels act as temporary support and resistance areas where price frequently reacts. It is especially useful in fast-moving or volatile markets such as index futures or liquid stocks.
Features
* Automatically detects intra-candle reversal zones.
* Classifies zones as support (bottom) or resistance (top).
* Automatically updates and breaks lines when invalidated by price action.
* Adjustable parameters for flexibility:
* Equality Buffer
* Max Lines to Keep
* Line Suppression Tolerance
* Initial Extend Bars
* Break Buffer
* Line colors, widths, and styles (active and broken states)
* Efficient memory handling with capped line count.
* Minimalist and clean visual representation, suitable for overlay on any chart.
Recommended Settings
* Works best on intraday timeframes (1 min to 15 min).
* Tune the Equality Buffer and Tolerance parameters based on instrument volatility.
* Use conservative Break Buffer to avoid premature line invalidation.
Disclaimer
This is a tool to support discretionary trading decisions. It is not a standalone buy/sell signal generator. Users are advised to combine it with their own market context and risk management framework.
This indicator is released for the TradingView community for educational and practical trading use.

Consolidation Range with Signals (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Consolidation Range with Signals (Zeiierman) is a precision tool for identifying and trading market consolidation zones, where price contracts into tight ranges before significant movement. It provides dynamic range detection using either ADX-based trend strength or volatility compression metrics, and offers built-in take profit and stop loss signals based on breakout dynamics.
Whether you trade breakouts, range reversals, or trend continuation setups, this indicator visualizes the balance between supply and demand with clearly defined mid-bands, breakout zones, and momentum-sensitive TP/SL placements.
█ How It Works
⚪ Multi-Method Range Detection
ADX Mode
Uses the Average Directional Index (ADX) to detect low-trend-strength environments. When ADX is below your selected threshold, price is considered to be in consolidation.
Volatility Mode
This mode detects consolidation by identifying periods of volatility compression. It evaluates whether the following metrics are simultaneously below their respective historical rolling averages:
Standard Deviation
Variance
Average True Range (ATR)
⚪ Dynamic Range Band System
Once a range is confirmed, the system builds a dynamic band structure using a volatility-based filter and price-jump logic:
Middle Line (Trend Filter): Reacts to price imbalance using adaptive jump logic.
Upper & Lower Bands: Calculated by expanding from the middle line using a configurable multiplier.
This creates a clean, visual box that reflects current consolidation conditions and adapts as price fluctuates within or escapes the zone.
⚪ SL/TP Signal Engine
On detection of a breakout from the range, the indicator generates up to 3 Take Profit levels and one Stop Loss, based on the breakout direction:
All TP/SL levels are calculated using the filtered base range and multipliers.
Cooldown logic ensures signals are not spammed bar-to-bar.
Entries are visualized with colored lines and labeled levels.
This feature is ideal for traders who want automated risk and reward reference points for range breakout plays.
█ How to Use
⚪ Breakout Traders
Use the SL/TP signals when the price breaks above or below the range bands, especially after extended sideways movement. You can customize how far TP1, TP2, and TP3 sit from the entry using your own risk/reward profile.
⚪ Mean Reversion Traders
Use the bands to locate high-probability reversion zones. These serve as reference zones for scalping or fade entries within stable consolidation phases.
█ Settings
Range Detection Method – Choose between ADX or Volatility compression to define range criteria.
Range Period – Determines how many bars are used to compute trend/volatility.
Range Multiplier – Scales the width of the consolidation zone.
SL/TP System – Optional levels that project TP1/TP2/TP3 and SL from the base price using multipliers.
Cooldown – Prevents repeated SL/TP signals from triggering too frequently.
ADX Threshold & Smoothing – Adjusts sensitivity of trend strength detection.
StdDev / Variance / ATR Multipliers – Fine-tune compression detection logic.

MirPapa:ICT:HTF: FVG OB Threeple# MirPapa:ICT:HTF: FVG OB (Fair Value Gap Order Block)
**Version:** Pine Script® v6
**Author:** © goodia
**License:** MPL-2.0 (Mozilla Public License 2.0)
---
## Overview
“FVG OB” (Fair Value Gap Order Block) identifies higher-timeframe candle ranges where a gap (imbalance) exists between two non-consecutive candles, signaling potential institutional order blocks. This module draws bullish or bearish FVG OB boxes on your lower-timeframe chart, extends them until price interacts a specified number of times, and then finalizes (recolors) the box.
---
## Inputs
- **Enable FVG OB Boxes** (`bool`)
Toggle drawing of HTF FVG OB boxes on the chart.
- **Enable FVG OB Midlines** (`bool`)
Toggle drawing of a midpoint line inside each FVG OB box.
- **FVG OB Close Count** (`int` 1–10)
Number of HTF closes beyond the FVG range required to finalize (recolor) the box.
- **FVG OB Bull Color** (`color`)
Fill & border color for bullish FVG OB boxes.
- **FVG OB Bear Color** (`color`)
Fill & border color for bearish FVG OB boxes.
- **FVG OB Box Transparency** (`int` 1–100)
Opacity level for FVG OB box fills (higher = more transparent).
---
## How It Works
1. **HTF Data Retrieval**
- The script uses `request.security()` (via `GetHTFrevised()`) to fetch HTF OHLC and historical values:
- `_htfHigh3` (high three bars ago) and `_htfLow1` (low one bar ago) for bullish FVG OB.
- `_htfLow3` (low three bars ago) and `_htfHigh1` (high one bar ago) for bearish FVG OB.
- It also tracks the HTF `bar_index` on the lower timeframe to align drawing.
2. **FVG OB Detection**
- **Bullish FVG OB**: Occurs when the HTF low of the previous bar (`low `) is strictly above the HTF high of three bars ago (`high `), creating a gap.
- **Bearish FVG OB**: Occurs when the HTF high of the previous bar (`high `) is strictly below the HTF low of three bars ago (`low `), creating a gap.
3. **Box Creation**
- On each new HTF bar (`ta.change(time(HTF)) != 0`), if a bullish or bearish FVG OB condition is met, the script calls `CreateBoxData()` with:
- **Bullish**: `bottom = HTF low `, `top = HTF high `, `_isBull = true`.
- **Bearish**: `bottom = HTF low `, `top = HTF high `, `_isBull = false`.
- Midline toggled by input.
- A `BoxData` struct is created and stored in either the Bull or Bear array.
4. **Box Extension & Finalization**
- On **every LTF bar**, `ProcessBoxDatas(...)` iterates over all active FVG OB boxes:
1. **Extend Right Edge**: `box.set_right(bar_index)` ensures the box follows the latest bar.
2. **Record Volume Delta**: Tracks buy/sell volume inside the box.
3. **Touch Stage Update**: `modBoxUpdateStage()` increments `_stage` when price touches its “basePoint” (for FVG OB, the basePrice is one side of the gap).
4. **Finalize**: `setBoxFinalize()` checks if the configured number of closes beyond the FVG gap (`FVG OB Close Count`) has occurred. If so:
- `_isActive := false`
- Border and background colors are changed to the “Box Close Color” (input).
- Finalized boxes remain on screen semi-transparent, indicating that the FVG OB zone has been tested.
5. **Midline (Optional)**
- If “Enable FVG OB Midlines” is checked, `ProcessBoxDatas()` also extends a horizontal midpoint line inside the box with `line.set_x2(bar_index)`.
---
## Usage Instructions
1. **Installation**
- Copy the FVG OB section of the Pine Script into TradingView’s Pine Editor (ensure the library import is included).
- Click “Add to Chart.”
2. **Configure Inputs**
- Choose a Higher Time Frame via the dropdown (e.g., “4시간” maps to a 4H timeframe).
- Toggle “Enable FVG OB Boxes” and “Enable FVG OB Midlines.”
- Select colors for bullish and bearish boxes and set transparency.
- Adjust “FVG OB Close Count” to control how many closes beyond the gap finalize the box.
3. **Interpretation**
- **Active FVG OB Boxes** extend to the right until price closes beyond the gap range the specified number of times.
- When finalized, each box changes to the “Box Close Color,” signaling that institutional orders in that gap have likely been filled.

[RenkoCore] PublicWhen it comes the Renko chart, we all know it has its advantages & disadvantages compared to the candle-stick chart. My aim of this was to alleviate some of the disadvantages by providing some sort of structure on Renko chart. These set of tools may hopefully help your trading journey on Renko chart.
Helpful tips:
a) Enable wicks on your Renko settings, this indicator needs wicks to work.
b) Choose correct size (I recommend traditional size option) for your Renko chart as well as for your instrument.
c) Keep it on 1-second time frame, anything other than that doesn't work on TradingView's Renko. This is important as price will not repaint.
d) If you want to see bigger picture (like 4hr/daily on candle-stick chart), just increase your Renko size, but still keep it on 1-second timeframe.
This toolset includes couple different methods to provide some structures as explained below:
1. 📌 Balance | Price Action Equilibrium Zones
Overview
The Balance is a visual framework designed to evaluate directional bias and internal structure in price action. It measures net bullish/bearish momentum within a configurable rolling window, while highlighting key structural turning points based on multiple custom sensitivity levels. This tool helps traders stay in sync with market rhythm by emphasizing balance, imbalance, and inflection zones.
🔧 How It Works:
Inflection Tiers
Three customizable rounds of pivot-based divergence detection—labeled as 1°, 2°, and 3°—automatically identify regular bullish and regular bearish pivot structures. Though may not be always accurate, these structural signals are intended to keep user's focus to continually reflect emerging internal market shifts.
Balance Limit
Monitors directional bar disparity within a customizable retrospective span. When the net balance exceeds ±50% of the range, the line turns green to suggest strong directional bias. A red fill zone between these thresholds indicates equilibrium or no-trade conditions.
Volatility Based Reversal (Candle Reversal Detector)
This tool scans for extreme price movements relative to local volatility baselines, helping traders detect possible tops and bottoms before major price reversals or pauses. Compares current price action to the lowest recent volatility anchor or if price sharply dips below the highest recent volatility anchor.
🧠 Use Case Recommendations:
Discretionary trading to visually confirm balance and momentum shifts.
Confluence strategies, combining the balance counter with trend indicators or support/resistance levels.
Structure mapping, to highlight exhaustion zones or emerging reversals based on internal divergences.
Avoid using this tool in isolation. It is most effective when combined with broader market context or other confirmation layers.
2. 📌 Primary Level Detection
Overview
This is a precision tool for detecting dynamic price zones where significant market reversals may begin. Using a blend of momentum, price tension, and volatility structure, it identifies potential top and bottom areas — and tracks them with adaptive channel levels that evolve in real time.
🔧 How It Works:
Combines price action, RSI-based bias, and volatility deviation to identify moments when price is overextended.
Reacts only to major changes — reducing false positives in choppy markets.
Levels persist on the chart until a new valid reversal is confirmed, giving you visual structure and actionable areas to work with.
🧠 Use Case Recommendations:
Trading reversals, reversion-to-mean, or liquidity sweeps
Confirming entries from other indicators (like divergence, order blocks, or support/resistance)
Analyzing volatile markets where rapid direction changes are common (e.g., crypto, futures, scalping)
3. 📌 Secondary Level Detection
Overview
This tool highlights where price may be overextended and due for a short-term reversal, based on recent price structure.
🔧 How It Works:
It uses dynamic bar-count and swing conditions to identify potential price turning points after extended directional moves or strong sequence of bars in same direction.
Levels persist on the chart until a new valid reversal is confirmed, giving you visual structure and actionable areas to work with.
🧠 Use Case Recommendations:
Trading reversals, reversion-to-mean, or liquidity sweeps
Confirming entries from other indicators (like divergence, order blocks, or support/resistance)

CryptoNeo - Crypto Stablecoin MatrixThe CryptoNeo – Crypto Stablecoin Matrix is a forward-looking indicator that decodes broad crypto market sentiment by analyzing how stablecoins behave across spot and futures markets.
Stablecoins are the lifeblood of the crypto ecosystem, and how they move can offer early insight into future market direction. This tool leverages that behavior to forecast potential price action across major cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, SOL, DOGE, and other large-cap coins that tend to move in sync with the broader market.
Originally derived from a suite of alpha signals developed for a systematic crypto trading algorithm, this indicator compresses advanced stablecoin flow analytics into a clear and intuitive visual format — designed specifically for discretionary traders.
It is optimized for trading on the 30-minute to 4-hour timeframes, where the nuances of capital flow are most actionable. Whether you’re swing trading majors or scouting key pivot points, this tool provides a fresh edge rooted in stablecoin dynamics.
The Matrix is composed of four core components that signal changes in sentiment, capital flow, and market positioning:
1. Stablecoin Futures Flow (Bullish/Bearish)
Detects shifts in leveraged positioning in the futures market based on proprietary flow dynamics.
🟩 Green squares = bullish futures flow (long bias)
🟥 Red squares = bearish futures flow (short bias)
Helps identify directional sentiment through futures-driven stablecoin movement.
2. Stablecoin Spot Flow (Bullish/Bearish)
Analyzes momentum in spot market stablecoin activity to reveal potential accumulation or distribution.
🟢 Green circles = bullish spot flow (buying pressure)
🔴 Red circles = bearish spot flow (selling pressure)
Offers early signals of demand or profit-taking pressure.
3. Futures Oversold/Overbought Level 1
Identifies early signs of exhaustion or trend slowing based on leveraged market conditions.
🟢 Green diamonds = early oversold signal
🔴 Red diamonds = early overbought signal
Useful for catching subtle turning points or slowing momentum.
4. Futures Oversold/Overbought Level 2
Flags rare and extreme positioning events that may precede major reversals.
🟢 Large green diamonds = deep oversold condition
🔴 Large red diamonds = deep overbought condition
Highlights moments of extreme imbalance or sentiment peaks.
Customization & Flexibility
Adjustable sensitivity settings allow you to fine-tune:
Bullish and bearish Spot and Futures Flow
Thresholds for Level 1 and Level 2 Overbought/Oversold signals
This ensures traders can align signal responsiveness with their trading style and market conditions.
Best Used For:
Swing trading crypto majors (BTC, ETH, SOL, DOGE, etc.)
Timeframes between 30 minutes and 4 hours

Tracking macro market sentiment using stablecoin behavior
Delta Volume Profile [BigBeluga]🔵Delta Volume Profile
A dynamic volume analysis tool that builds two separate horizontal profiles: one for bullish candles and one for bearish candles. This indicator helps traders identify the true balance of buying vs. selling volume across price levels, highlighting points of control (POCs), delta dominance, and hidden volume clusters with remarkable precision.
🔵 KEY FEATURES
Split Volume Profiles (Bull vs. Bear):
The indicator separates volume based on candle direction:
If close > open , the candle’s volume is added to the bullish profile (positive volume).
If close < open , it contributes to the bearish profile (negative volume).
ATR-Based Binning:
The price range over the selected lookback is split into bins using ATR(200) as the bin height.
Each bin accumulates both bull and bear volumes to form the dual-sided profile.
Bull and Bear Volume Bars:
Bullish volumes are shown as right-facing bars on the right side, colored with a bullish gradient.
Bearish volumes appear as left-facing bars on the left side, shaded with a bearish gradient.
Each bar includes a volume label (e.g., +12.45K or -9.33K) to show exact volume at that price level.
Points of Control (POC) Highlighting:
The bin with the highest bullish volume is marked with a border in POC+ color (default: blue).
The bin with the highest bearish volume is marked with a POC− color (default: orange).
Total Volume Density Map:
A neutral gray background box is plotted behind candles showing the total volume (bull + bear) per bin.
This reveals high-interest price zones regardless of direction.
Delta and Total Volume Summary:
A Delta label appears at the top, showing net % difference between bull and bear volume.
A Total label at the bottom shows total accumulated volume across all bins.
🔵 HOW IT WORKS
The indicator captures all candles within the lookback period .
It calculates the price range and splits it into bins using ATR for adaptive resolution.
For each candle:
If price intersects a bin and close > open , volume is added to the positive profile .
If close < open , volume is added to the negative profile .
The result is two side-by-side histograms at each price level—one for buyers, one for sellers.
The bin with the highest value on each side is visually emphasized using POC highlight colors.
At the end, the script calculates:
Delta: Total % difference between bull and bear volumes.
Total: Sum of all volumes in the lookback window.
🔵 USAGE
Volume Imbalance Zones: Identify price levels where buyers or sellers were clearly dominant.
Fade or Follow Volume Clusters: Use POC+ or POC− levels for reaction trades or breakouts.
Delta Strength Filtering: Strong delta values (> ±20%) suggest momentum or exhaustion setups.
Volume-Based Anchoring: Use profile levels to mark hidden support/resistance and execution zones.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Delta Volume Profile offers a unique advantage in market reading by separating buyer and seller activity into two visual layers. This allows traders to not only spot where volume was high, but also who was more aggressive. Whether you’re analyzing trend continuations, reversals, or absorption levels, this indicator gives you the transparency needed to trade with confidence.
Consolidation Range [BigBeluga]A hybrid volatility-volume indicator that isolates periods of price equilibrium and reveals the directional force behind each range buildup.
Consolidation Range is a powerful tool designed to detect compression phases in the market using volatility thresholds while visualizing volume imbalance within those phases. By combining low-volatility detection with directional volume delta, it highlights where accumulation or distribution is occurring—giving traders the confidence to act when breakouts follow. This indicator is particularly valuable in choppy or sideways markets where range identification and sentiment context are key.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Volatility Compression: Uses ADX (Average Directional Index) to detect periods of low trend strength—specifically when ADX drops below a configurable threshold.
Range Structure: Upon a low-volatility trigger, the script dynamically anchors horizontal upper and lower bounds based on local highs and lows.
Directional Volume Delta: Inside each active range, it calculates the net difference between buy and sell volume, showing who controlled the range.
Sentiment Bias: A label appears in the center of the zone on breakout, showing the accumulated delta and bias direction (▲ for positive, ▼ for negative).
Range Validity Filter: Only ranges with more than 15 bars are considered valid—short-lived consolidations are auto-filtered.
🔵 KEY FEATURES
Detects low volatility market phases using ADX logic (crosses under "Volatility Threshold Input").
Automatically plots adaptive consolidation zones with upper and lower boundary lines.
Includes dynamic midline to visualize the price average inside the range.
Visual range is filled with a progressive gradient to reflect distance between highs and lows.
When the range is active, the indicator accumulates volume delta (Buy - Sell volume) .
Upon breakout, the total volume delta is displayed at the midpoint , providing insight into market sentiment during the consolidation phase.
Filters out weak or short-lived consolidations under 15 bars.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Spot ranging or compression zones with minimal effort.
Use breakouts with volume delta bias to assess the strength or weakness of moves.
Combine with trend-following tools or volume-based confirmation for stronger setups.
Apply to higher timeframes for macro consolidation tracking .
🔵 CONCLUSION
Consolidation Range now brings together volatility filtering and directional volume delta into one smart module. This hybrid logic allows traders to not only identify balance zones but also understand who was in control during the buildup—offering a sharper edge for breakout and trend continuation strategies.
Value Scanner | QuantEdgeB📡 Value Scanner | QuantEdgeB
🔍 What is the Value Scanner?
The Value Scanner by QuantEdgeB is a volatility-adaptive valuation framework that dynamically evaluates where price sits relative to a custom “Fair Value” zone. It combines your choice of moving average engine (SMA, WMA, VIDYA, etc.) with multi-layered standard deviation or ATR-based bands to highlight extreme conditions, reversal zones, and statistical overextensions in real time.
💡 Think of Value Scanner as a radar grid, continuously scanning market terrain and painting a full spectrum from balance to extreme disequilibrium.
⚙️ Core Components
✅ Customizable Moving Average Core
At the heart of the scanner lies a flexible moving average engine:
• Choose from 12+ advanced types: 𝓦𝓜𝓐, 𝓥𝓦𝓜𝓐, 𝓥𝓘𝓓𝓨𝓐, 𝓢𝓜𝓜𝓐, 𝓐𝓛𝓜𝓐, 𝓛𝓢𝓜𝓐, and more.
• Fair Value is derived from this base and acts as the center of the statistical zones.
✅ Volatility-Driven Band Construction
Two volatility methods power the adaptive zones:
• Average True Range (ATR): Ideal for reactive, price-based spreads.
• Standard Deviation (SD): Better for modeling reversion and deviation symmetry.
The scanner builds up to ±5σ zones, dynamically updating in real time.
🎯 Signal and Zone Identification
🧭 Deviation Labels
The system assigns a statistical label at every candle:
• From +0.5σ to +5σ for increasing levels of overextension upward.
• From -0.5σ to -5σ for oversold and undervalued conditions.
🌐 Market Stage Detection
Each deviation zone is translated into an intuitive market phrase such as:
• “𝓔𝔁𝓽𝓻𝓮𝓶𝓮𝓵𝔂 𝓞𝓿𝓮𝓻𝓫𝓸𝓾𝓰𝓱𝓽”
• “𝓜𝓲𝓭 𝓥𝓪𝓵𝓾𝓮 / 𝓑𝓪𝓵𝓪𝓷𝓬𝓮𝓭”
• “𝓜𝓪𝔁𝓲𝓶𝓾𝓶 𝓔𝔁𝓽𝓮𝓷𝓼𝓲𝓸𝓷 𝓓𝓸𝔀𝓷”
These phrases help you intuitively gauge risk, reward, and imbalance without needing to study a chart for long.
🔺 Signal Mechanics
📌 Reversal Signals (Optional)
• Automatic buy signals when price crosses above key lower deviation levels.
• Sell signals when price crosses below upper deviation bands.
• Ideal for mean-reversion setups or high-probability reversal plays.
🖼️ Visual Overlay Engine
• Beautifully shaded volatility bands with decreasing opacity as they move away from fair value.
• Background coloring highlights extreme price zones for fast visual alerts.
• Built-in "table display" summarizing the current base, volatility method, direction, fair value, and deviation stage.

USDTUSD Stochastic RSI [SAKANE]Release Note
■ Overview
The USDTUSD Stochastic RSI indicator visualizes shifts in market sentiment and liquidity by applying the Stochastic RSI to the USDT/USD price pair.
Rather than tracking the price of Bitcoin directly, this tool observes the momentum of USDT, a key intermediary in most crypto transactions, to detect early signals of trend reversals.
■ Background & Motivation
USDT exhibits two distinct characteristics:
Its credibility as a long-term store of value is limited.
Yet, it serves as one of the most liquid assets in the crypto space and is widely used as a trading base pair.
Because most BTC trades involve converting fiat into USDT and vice versa, USDT/USD frequently deviates slightly from its peg to USD.
These deviations—though subtle—often occur just before major shifts in the broader crypto market.
This indicator is designed to detect such moments of structural imbalance by applying momentum analysis to USDT itself.
■ Feature Highlights
Calculates RSI and Stochastic RSI on the USDT/USD closing price
Supports customizable smoothing via SMA or EMA
Background shading dynamically visualizes overheated or cooled market states (thresholds are adjustable)
Displayed in a separate pane, keeping it visually distinct from the price chart
■ Usage Insights
This indicator is based on an observable pattern:
When the Stochastic RSI bottoms out, Bitcoin tends to form a price bottom shortly afterward
Conversely, when the indicator peaks, Bitcoin tends to top out with a slight delay
Since USDT acts as a gateway for capital in and out of the market, changes in its momentum often foreshadow turning points in BTC.
This allows traders to anticipate shifts in sentiment rather than merely reacting to them.
■ Unique Value Proposition
Unlike conventional price-based indicators, this tool offers a structural perspective.
It focuses on USDT as a mechanism of liquidity flow, making it possible to detect the "hidden rhythm" of the crypto market.
In that sense, this is not just a technical tool, but an entry point into market microstructure analysis—allowing users to read the market’s intentions rather than just its movements.
■ Practical Tips
Look for reversals in momentum as potential BTC entry or exit points.
Overlay this indicator with the BTC chart to compare timing and divergence.
Combine with other tools such as on-chain data or macro indicators for comprehensive analysis.
■ Final Thoughts
USDTUSD Stochastic RSI is designed with the belief that the most important market signals often come from what drives the price, not the price itself.
By tuning into the “heartbeat” of capital flow, this indicator sheds light on market dynamics that would otherwise remain unseen.
We hope it proves useful in your trading and research.
Impulse Zones | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Impulse Zones indicator, a powerful tool designed to identify significant price movements accompanied by strong volume, highlighting potential areas of support and resistance. These Impulse Zones can offer valuable insights into market momentum and potential reversal or continuation points. For more information about the process, please check the "HOW DOES IT WORK ?" section.
Impulse Zones Features :
Dynamic Zone Creation : Automatically identifies and plots potential supply and demand zones based on significant price impulses and volume spikes.
Customizable Settings : Allows you to adjust the sensitivity of zone detection based on your trading style and market conditions.
Retests and Breakouts : Clearly marks instances where price retests or breaks through established Impulse Zones, providing potential entry or exit signals.
Alerts : You can set alerts for Bullish & Bearish Impulse Zone detection and their retests.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
Our Impulse Zones indicator stands out by combining both price action (impulsive moves) and volume confirmation to define significant zones. Unlike simple support and resistance indicators, it emphasizes the strength behind price movements, potentially filtering out less significant levels. The inclusion of retest and breakout visuals directly on the chart provides immediate context for potential trading opportunities. The user can also set up alerts for freshly detected Impulse Zones & the retests of them.
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The indicator identifies bars where the price range (high - low) is significantly larger than the average true range (ATR), indicating a strong price movement. The Size Sensitivity input allows you to control how large this impulse needs to be relative to the ATR.
Simultaneously, it checks if the volume on the impulse bar is significantly higher than the average volume. The Volume Sensitivity input governs this threshold.
When both the price impulse and volume confirmation criteria are met, an Impulse Zone is created in the corresponding direction. The high and low of the impulse bar define the initial boundaries of the zone. Zones are extended forward in time to remain relevant. The indicator manages the number of active zones to maintain chart clarity and can remove zones that haven't been touched for a specified period. The indicator monitors price action within and around established zones.
A retest is identified when the price touches a zone and then moves away. A break occurs when the price closes beyond the invalidation point of a zone. Keep in mind that if "Show Historic Zones" setting is disabled, you will not see break labels as their zones will be removed from the chart.
The detection of Impulse Zones are immediate signs of significant buying or selling pressure entering the market. These zones represent areas where a strong imbalance between buyers and sellers has led to a rapid price movement accompanied by high volume. Bullish Impulse Zones act as a possible future support zone, and Bearish Impulse Zones act as a possible future resistance zone. Retests of the zones suggest a strong potential movement in the corresponding direction.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Show Historic Zones: If enabled, invalidated or expired Impulse Zones will remain visible on the chart.
2. Impulse Zones
Invalidation Method: Determines which part of the candle (Wick or Close) is used to invalidate a zone break.
Size Sensitivity: Controls the required size of the impulse bar relative to the ATR for a zone to be detected. Higher values may identify fewer, larger zones. Lower values may detect more, smaller zones.
Volume Sensitivity: Controls the required volume of the impulse bar relative to the average volume for a zone to be detected. Higher values require more significant volume.
Labels: Toggles the display of "IZ" labels on the identified zones.
Retests: Enables the visual highlighting of retests on the zones.
Breaks: Enables the visual highlighting of zone breaks.
Approx. Footprint: Volume DeltaThis indicator brings you a simplified “footprint” view by charting the volume delta—the imbalance between bullish and bearish volume—alongside total bar volume.
Delta Bars: Green/red columns show where buyers (close > open) or sellers (close < open) dominated each bar.
Total Volume: Semi-transparent gray columns in the background give you overall context.
No Hidden Data: Works on any symbol/timeframe without tick-by-tick or bid/ask feeds.
Use it to quickly spot bars with strong buying or selling pressure, identify momentum shifts, and confirm breakouts or reversals—all within TradingView’s standard volume streams.
Balanced Price Range | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Balanced Price Range (BPR) indicator! A Balanced Price Range is a trading concept used by price action traders. It is detected by finding overlapping area between two contrary Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). These areas can be used as entry points during market pullbacks. For more information about the process, please check the "HOW DOES IT WORK ?" section.
Balanced Price Range Features :
Balanced Price Range Detection : Identifies areas where bullish and bearish FVGs overlap, suggesting a zone of price equilibrium.
Customizable FVG & BPR Detection : You can fine-tune FVG detection and sensitivity for BPR detection to your liking.
Retest Labels : Bullish & Bearish retest labels will be rendered for BPRs.
Alerts : You can set alerts for Bullish & Bearish BPR detection and their retests.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
This indicator doesn't just detect standard FVGs but specifically looks for areas where bullish and bearish IFVGs (Invalidated Fair Value Gaps) overlap, defining a Balanced Price Range. It also actively manages and updates identified BPR zones, removing them when they are invalidated or remain untouched for a specified period. It highlights and alerts users to retests of established BPR zones, signaling potential trading opportunities. Users can tailor the appearance of the BPR zones and retest markers, as well as configure specific alerts for new BPR formations and retests.
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
A Fair Value Gap generally occur when there is an imbalance in the market. They can be detected by specific formations within the chart. The indicator first detects bullish & bearish FVG zones according to their formations on chart. Then, they are dynamically tracked and flagged as invalidated if the price crosses them, turning them into IFVGs. When a FVG & IFVG of the same type overlaps, the indicator combines them into a single BPR of corresponding type. The detected BPR is updated as new data comes in, and renders retests labels as they occur. A bullish BPR can be used to find long trade entry opportunities, while a bearish BPR can be used to find short trade entry opportunities. Retests can also indicate potential movements in the corresponding direction of the BPR. Users can set-up alerts for BPR detection & BPR retests and will get notified as they occur.
⚙️ SETTINGS
Show Historic Zones: If enabled, invalidated or expired BPR zones will remain visible on the chart.
Balanced Price Range:
FVG Detection Method: Determines the criteria for the bar types forming the initial FVG.
Same: All three bars forming the FVG must be of the same type (all bullish or all bearish).
Mixed: The bar types must vary (a mix of bullish and bearish bars).
All: Bar types can vary or be the same.
FVG Invalidation Method: Determines which part of the candle (wick or close) invalidates the initial FVG.
BPR Invalidation Method: Determines which part of the candle (wick or close) invalidates the Balanced Price Range.
Sensitivity: Adjusts the sensitivity of FVG detection. Higher values may identify fewer, larger BPRs, while lower values may detect more, smaller BPRs.
Labels: Toggles the display of text labels on the identified zones.
Retests: Enables or disables the detection and visualization of BPR retests.
Volumetric Entropy IndexVolumetric Entropy Index (VEI)
A volume-based drift analyzer that captures directional pressure, trend agreement, and entropy structure using smoothed volume flows.
---
🧠 What It Does:
• Volume Drift EMAs : Shows buy/sell pressure momentum with adaptive smoothing.
• Dynamic Bands : Bollinger-style volatility wrappers react to expanding/contracting drift.
• Baseline Envelope : Clean structural white rails for mean-reversion zones or trend momentum.
• Background Shading : Highlights when both sides (up & down drift) are in agreement — green for bullish, red for bearish.
• Alerts Included : Drift alignment, crossover events, net drift shifts, and strength spikes.
---
🔍 What Makes It Different:
• Most volume indicators rely on bars, oscillators, or OBV-style accumulation — this doesn’t.
• It compares directional EMAs of raw volume to isolate real-time bias and acceleration.
• It visualizes the twisting tension between volume forces — not just price reaction.
• Designed to show when volatility is building inside the volume mechanics before price follows.
• Modular — every element is optional, so you can run it lean or fully loaded.
---
📊 How to Use It:
• Drift EMAs : Watch for one side consistently dominating — sharp spikes often precede breakouts.
• Bands : When they tighten and start expanding, it often signals directional momentum forming.
• Envelope Lines : Use as high-probability reversal or continuation zones. Bands crossing envelopes = potential thrust.
• Background Color : Green/red backgrounds confirm volume agreement. Can be used as a filter for other signals.
• Net Drift : Optional smoothed oscillator showing the difference between bullish and bearish volume pressure. Crosses above or below zero signal directional bias shifts.
• Drift Strength : Measures pressure buildup — spikes often correlate with large moves.
---
⚙️ Full Customization:
• Turn every layer on/off independently
• Modify all colors, transparencies, and line widths
• Adjust band width multiplier and envelope offset (%)
• Toggle bonus plots like drift strength and net baseline
---

Dynamic Liquidity Depth [BigBeluga]
Dynamic Liquidity Depth
A liquidity mapping engine that reveals hidden zones of market vulnerability. This tool simulates where potential large concentrations of stop-losses may exist — above recent highs (sell-side) and below recent lows (buy-side) — by analyzing real price behavior and directional volume. The result is a dynamic two-sided volume profile that highlights where price is most likely to gravitate during liquidation events, reversals, or engineered stop hunts.
🔵 KEY FEATURES
Two-Sided Liquidity Profiles:
Plots two separate profiles on the chart — one above price for potential sell-side liquidity , and one below price for potential buy-side liquidity . Each profile reflects the volume distribution across binned zones derived from historical highs and lows.
Real Stop Zone Simulation:
Each profile is offset from the current high or low using an ATR-based buffer. This simulates where traders might cluster their stop-losses above swing highs (short stops) or below swing lows (long stops).
Directional Volume Analysis:
Buy-side volume is accumulated only from bullish candles (close > open), while sell-side volume is accumulated only from bearish candles (close < open). This directional filtering enhances accuracy by capturing genuine pressure zones.
Dynamic Volume Heatmap:
Each liquidity bin is rendered as a horizontal box with a color gradient based on volume intensity:
- Low activity bins are shaded lightly.
- High-volume zones appear more vividly in red (sell) or lime (buy).
- The maximum volume bin in each profile is emphasized with a brighter fill and a volume label.
Extended POC Zones:
The Point of Control (PoC) — the bin with the most volume — is extended backwards across the entire lookback period to mark critical resistance (sell-side) or support (buy-side) levels.
Total Volume Summary Labels:
At the center of each profile, a summary label displays Total Buy Liquidity and Total Sell Liquidity volume.
This metric helps assess directional imbalance — when buy liquidity is dominant, the market may favor upward continuation, and vice versa.
Customizable Profile Granularity:
You can fine-tune both Resolution (Bins) and Offset Distance to adjust how far profiles are displaced from price and how many levels are calculated within the ATR range.
🔵 HOW IT WORKS
The indicator calculates an ATR-based buffer above highs and below lows to define the top and bottom of the liquidity zones.
Using a user-defined lookback period, it scans historical candles and divides the buffered zones into bins.
Each bin checks if bullish (or bearish) candles pass through it based on price wicks and body.
Volume from valid candles is summed into the corresponding bin.
When volume exists in a bin, a horizontal box is drawn with a width scaled by relative volume strength.
The bin with the highest volume is highlighted and optionally extended backward as a zone of importance.
Total buy/sell liquidity is displayed with a summary label at the side of the profile.
🔵 USAGE/b]
Identify Stop Hunt Zones: High-volume clusters near swing highs/lows are likely liquidation zones targeted during fakeouts.
Fade or Follow Reactions: Price hitting a high-volume bin may reverse (fade opportunity) or break with strength (confirmation breakout).
Layer with Other Tools: Combine with market structure, order blocks, or trend filters to validate entries near liquidity.
Adjust Offset for Sensitivity: Use higher offset to simulate wider stop placement; use lower for tighter scalping zones.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Dynamic Liquidity Depth transforms raw price and volume into a spatial map of liquidity. By revealing areas where stop orders are likely hidden, it gives traders insight into price manipulation zones, potential reversal levels, and breakout traps. Whether you're hunting for traps or trading with the flow, this tool equips you to navigate liquidity with precision.
Big Whale Finder PROBig Whale Finder PRO
The Big Whale Finder PRO is an advanced technical indicator designed to detect and analyze the footprints of institutional traders (commonly referred to as "whales") in financial markets. Based on multiple proprietary detection algorithms, this indicator identifies distinct patterns of accumulation and distribution that typically occur when large market participants execute significant orders.
Theoretical Framework
The indicator builds upon established market microstructure theories and empirical research on institutional trading behavior. As Kyle (1985) demonstrated in his seminal work on market microstructure, informed traders with large positions tend to execute their orders strategically to minimize market impact. This often results in specific volume and price action patterns that the Big Whale Finder PRO is designed to detect.
Key Feature Enhancements
1. Volume Analysis Refinement
The indicator implements a dual-threshold approach to volume analysis based on research by Easley et al. (2012) on volume-based informed trading metrics. The normal threshold identifies routine institutional activity, while the extreme threshold flags exceptional events that often precede significant market moves.
2. Wickbody Ratio Analysis
Drawing from Cao et al. (2021) research on price formation and order flow imbalance, the indicator incorporates wick-to-body ratio analysis to detect potential order absorption and iceberg orders. High wick-to-body ratios often indicate hidden liquidity and resistance/support levels maintained by large players.
3. BWF-Index (Proprietary Metric)
The BWF-Index is a novel quantitative measure that combines volume anomalies, price stagnation, and candle morphology into a single metric. This approach draws from Harris's (2003) work on trading and exchanges, which suggests that institutional activity often manifests through multiple simultaneous market microstructure anomalies.
4. Zone Tracking System
Based on Wyckoff Accumulation/Distribution methodology and modern zone detection algorithms, the indicator establishes and tracks zones where institutional activity has occurred. This feature enables traders to identify potential support/resistance areas where large players have previously shown interest.
5. Trend Integration
Following Lo and MacKinlay's (1988) work on market efficiency and technical analysis, the indicator incorporates trend analysis through dual EMA comparison, providing context for volume and price patterns.
Labels and Signals Explanation
The indicator uses a system of labels to mark significant events on the chart:
🐋 (Whale Symbol): Indicates extreme volume activity that significantly exceeds normal market participation. This is often a sign of major institutional involvement and frequently precedes significant price moves. The presence of this label suggests heightened attention is warranted as a potential trend reversal or acceleration may be imminent.
A (Accumulation): Marks periods where large players are likely accumulating positions. This is characterized by high volume, minimal price movement upward, and stronger support at the lower end of the candle (larger lower wicks). Accumulation zones often form bases for future upward price movements. This pattern frequently occurs at the end of downtrends or during consolidation phases before uptrends.
D (Distribution): Identifies periods where large players are likely distributing (selling) their positions. This pattern shows high volume, minimal downward price movement, and stronger resistance at the upper end of the candle (larger upper wicks). Distribution zones often form tops before downward price movements. This pattern typically appears at the end of uptrends or during consolidation phases before downtrends.
ICE (Iceberg Order): Flags the potential presence of iceberg orders, where large orders are split into smaller visible portions to hide the true size. These are characterized by unusual wick-to-body ratios with high volume. Iceberg orders often indicate price levels that large institutions consider significant and may act as strong support or resistance areas.
Information Panel Interpretation
The information panel provides real-time analysis of market conditions:
Volume/Average Ratio: Shows how current volume compares to the historical average. Values above the threshold (default 1.5x) indicate abnormal activity that may signal institutional involvement.
BWF-Index: A proprietary metric that quantifies potential whale activity. Higher values (especially >10) indicate stronger likelihood of institutional participation. The BWF-Index combines volume anomalies, price action characteristics, and candle morphology to provide a single measure of potential whale activity.
Status: Displays the current market classification based on detected patterns:
"Major Whale Activity": Extreme volume detected, suggesting significant institutional involvement
"Accumulation": Potential buying activity by large players
"Distribution": Potential selling activity by large players
"High Volume": Above-average volume without clear accumulation/distribution patterns
"Normal": Regular market activity with no significant institutional footprints
Trend: Shows the current market trend based on EMA comparison:
"Uptrend": Fast EMA above Slow EMA, suggesting bullish momentum
"Downtrend": Fast EMA below Slow EMA, suggesting bearish momentum
"Sideways": EMAs very close together, suggesting consolidation
Zone: Indicates if the current price is in a previously identified institutional activity zone:
"In Buy Zone": Price is in an area where accumulation was previously detected
"In Sell Zone": Price is in an area where distribution was previously detected
"Neutral": Price is not in a previously identified institutional zone
Trading Recommendations
Based on the different signals and patterns, the following trading recommendations apply:
Bullish Scenarios
Accumulation (A) + Uptrend: Strong buy signal. Large players are accumulating in an established uptrend, suggesting potential continuation or acceleration.
Strategy: Consider entering long positions with stops below the accumulation zone.
Extreme Volume (🐋) + In Buy Zone + Price Above EMAs: Very bullish. Major whale activity in a previously established buying zone with positive price action.
Strategy: Aggressive buying opportunity with wider stops to accommodate volatility.
High BWF-Index (>10) + Accumulation + Downtrend Ending: Potential trend reversal signal. High institutional interest at the potential end of a downtrend.
Strategy: Early position building with tight risk management until trend confirmation.
Bearish Scenarios
Distribution (D) + Downtrend: Strong sell signal. Large players are distributing in an established downtrend, suggesting potential continuation or acceleration.
Strategy: Consider entering short positions with stops above the distribution zone.
Extreme Volume (🐋) + In Sell Zone + Price Below EMAs: Very bearish. Major whale activity in a previously established selling zone with negative price action.
Strategy: Aggressive shorting opportunity with wider stops to accommodate volatility.
High BWF-Index (>10) + Distribution + Uptrend Ending: Potential trend reversal signal. High institutional interest at the potential end of an uptrend.
Strategy: Early short position building with tight risk management until trend confirmation.
Neutral/Caution Scenarios
Iceberg Orders (ICE) + Sideways Market: Suggests significant hidden liquidity at current levels.
Strategy: Mark these levels as potential support/resistance for future reference. Consider range-trading strategies.
Conflicting Signals (e.g., Accumulation in Downtrend): Requires careful analysis.
Strategy: Wait for additional confirmation or reduce position sizing.
Multiple Extreme Volume Events (🐋) in Succession: Indicates unusual market conditions, possibly related to news events or major market shifts.
Strategy: Exercise extreme caution and potentially reduce exposure until clarity emerges.
Practical Applications
Short-Term Trading:
Use the indicator to identify institutional activity zones for potential intraday support/resistance levels
Watch for whale symbols (🐋) to anticipate potential volatility or trend changes
Combine with price action analysis for entry/exit timing
Swing Trading
Focus on accumulation/distribution patterns in conjunction with the prevailing trend
Use buy/sell zones as areas to establish or exit positions
Monitor the BWF-Index for increasing institutional interest over time
Position Trading
Track long-term whale activity to identify shifts in institutional positioning
Use multiple timeframe analysis to confirm major accumulation/distribution phases
Combine with fundamental analysis to validate potential long-term trend changes
