In this discussion, we delve into the intricacies of Break of Structure, Change of Character , and SMART MONEY TRAP . We also introduce the concepts of Extreme Order Blocks, Decisional Order Blocks , and Smart Money Trap Order Blocks .
Chapter 1: Understanding Structure Mapping:
Let's begin with some definitions:
- Inside bars are candles that lie within the range of a preceding candle.
- Pullbacks occur in an uptrend when the low of a preceding candle's range (excluding inside bars ) is breached, and the price continues to rise.
- Inducements (IDM) are price levels defined as the low of the latest pullback before the most recent high. They often act as liquidity points that the market revisits before continuing its move.
Break of Structure (BoS):
In an uptrend, after surpassing an IDM , the most recent high becomes a Confirmed structure high, or a Major High . If the price then closes above this Major High, a Bullish Break of Structure (Bullish BoS) is confirmed. Similarly, the lowest point between these movements becomes a Confirmed structure low or Major Low in a downtrend.
Change of Character (ChoCh):
In an uptrend, if the price falls below a Major Low, it indicates a shift in market bias from Bullish to Bearish, or a Bearish Change of Character .
Example of a bullish ChoCh:
Chapter 2: The Significance of Order Blocks:
Order Blocks (OB) play a pivotal role in Smart Money Concepts during entry points. Understanding what they represent and how to identify them is essential. For a Bullish/Bearish Order Block to be confirmed, specific conditions, including price imbalance and breaching the previous candle's high or low, must be met. We will delve into the finer details of identifying and trading Order Blocks, with an emphasis on the fact that price often reacts from Decisional Order Blocks, Extreme Order Blocks , and Smart Money Trap Order Blocks .
An OB is the initial candle range of a pullback that creates a Fair value gap.
These are zones where proactive traders enter the market, resulting in significant price changes indicated by Fair value gaps. It is believed that when the price revisits these zones in the future, it tends to bounce back. This property makes Order Blocks excellent potential entry points.
Order Blocks are categorized as follows:
- Extreme OB : The first and lowest OB between the Major Low and Major High.
- Decisional OB : The most recent OB lower than the current IDM.
- Smart Money Traps : All OBs between Extreme and Decisional OB.
- Demand above IDM / Supply below IDM
Chapter 3: Understanding SMART MONEY TRAP (SMT):
SMART MONEY TRAP is a concept that brings clarity to the distinction between Structure and Order Blocks within Smart Money Concepts and is a unique feature of this indicator. While many Smart Money Traders base their trades on Structure and Order Blocks, it's crucial to recognize that Order Blocks serve as an additional confirmation for buy or sell decisions. Blindly trading based on Order Blocks is not advisable. Instead, traders should exercise patience and await other confirmations like inducement or Liquidity sweep before executing trades on Order Blocks. We will illustrate how this concept works in practice.
In the example above, the market made a high wick up, taking out the buy-side liquidity, then made a bearish ChoCh. We place our sell order on the order block above IDM. This presents a promising trading opportunity, with a stop loss placed above the OB and a take profit set at the low of previous structure.

- Pullbacks: In an uptrend, a valid pullback occurs when the low of a previous candle's range (excluding inside bars) is breached, and the price continues to rise.
- Inducements (IDM): An inducement is a price level. In an uptrend, it is defined as the low of the latest pullback before the highest high. It is considered a liquidity area, often revisited by the market to access liquidity before continuing its upward movement.
- Break of Structure (BoS): In an uptrend, after surpassing an IDM , the highest high becomes a Confirmed structure high, or a Major High . If the price then closes above this Major High, a Bullish Break of Structure (Bullish BoS) is confirmed. Similarly, the lowest point between these movements becomes a Confirmed structure low or Major Low in a downtrend.
Change of Character (ChoCh):
In an uptrend, if the price falls below a Major Low, it indicates a shift in market bias from Bullish to Bearish, or a Bearish Change of Character.
Example of a bullish ChoCh:
Chapter 2: Demand & Supply Zones
2.1 Introduction to Demand & Supply Zones:
- Demand and Supply zones are critical areas on a price chart where significant buying or selling pressure is expected. This indicator highlights these zones, enabling traders to anticipate potential price reactions.

Engulfing Reversal Market PhaseStay at the right side of the market.
This indicator detects bullish and bearish phase in the market based on recent reversal.
It is designed to help filter your trades.
Open only long trades if indicator shows green and open only short trades when indicator shows red.
This indicator will detect bullish and bearish engulfing reversal pattern on the chart.
Bullish engulfing occurs when current candle closes below the bars that created the high.
Bearish engulfing occurs when current candle closes below the bars that created the high.
The reversal pattern occurs not only on a trend change, but can be also be present as a trend continuation pattern or a breakout pattern.
The indicator is able to detect 3 candle patterns and multi candle patterns if detects inside bars in the pattern.
Engulfing and emaThis is a Pine Script script that helps you see the Engulfing Candlestick and Inside Bar (Boring Candle) candle patterns on the TradingView chart, as well as drawing two Exponential Moving Averages (EMA). Here's a simple explanation:
1. **Candle Pattern**:
- This script identifies the Engulfing Candlestick pattern, which indicates potential changes to the price. If this pattern is detected, the script will show a green (for buy) or red (for sell) arrow above or below that candle.
- The script also identifies the Inside Bar (Boring Candle), which indicates the period area in the market. This candle will be the color you choose (default is orange).
2. **Moving Average (EMA)**:
- This script also plots two Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) on the chart. EMA is a tool that helps you see price trends more clearly.
3. **Risk Management**:
- This script calculates the Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) levels for each Engulfing pattern. This helps you manage your trading risks.
- Labels are displayed on the charts for SL and TP, so you know where to place them.
With the help of this script, you can easily identify important patterns in the market and manage your risks better. Make sure to choose a demo account before using it in real trading.
Compression support&resistance [LM]Hello traders,
I would like to present you Compression support&resistance script. The idea behind is to look for areas of price compression(inside bar candles). Basically the S/R lines are created after three candles that are formed in certain pattern and volume conditions. First candle of pattern is usually the most volatile and fist inside bar after volatile candle high and low creates S/R lines in order to look for breakouts or for future bounces of the S/R line. Also by default volume has to be decreasing from candle to candle, although this condition can be controlled by setting.
It has various settings as my other S/R scripts for multi timeframe analysis. The current timeframe uses line API but for multi timeframe I use plot lines. There are two filters. Volume filter for declining volume of the pattern candles and volatility filter which renders line only in case that pattern occurs after some % change has happened within some lookback period.
Credit also for this indicator goes to @berkek as he took time to explain it to me.
Hope you will enjoy it,
Lukas
Swing PointsAn indicator that identifies Swing Points (highs and lows) and then determines highs and lows of those swings. Works on all timeframes.
This is not my invention. It is a generic concept that I picked up from the trading world.
First level swings are termed as Short term Highs and Short term Lows (STH and STL)
The second level swings are termed as Long term Highs and Long term Lows (ITH and ITL)
An STH is formed when the 2nd high is higher than the highs on either side.
An ITH is formed when the 2nd STH is higher than the STH on either side.
Likewise logic for lows.
An example, A bullish trend can be expected if an ITH level is taken out after a ITL is formed after the ITH.
Inside bars: Inside bars are ignored. They can be marked, turned off by default.
Also, a "X" is placed over a swing point if two consecutive swings form simultaneously. This is turned off by default.
EMA TEMA crossoverHello,
as usual recently the chart is bugged if I dare post a log one so I deleted and reposted...
here is a simple ema/team script that could allow you to catch trends.
You can play with parameters to get alerted of strong trends, or to detect trends early on.
I want to adapt this to an inside bar strategy, I am going to release that in a while, it is not my priority thought I am a countertrend trader, so I cannot say why, but what I have seen is inside bar breaks in very strong trends work very well.
There is a condition for this inidcator to work: you have to use it on a Heikin Ashi chart (the candle type, selectable in the area right of the timeframe).
Works sometimes. I advice backtesting any strategy before using. Idk maybe this could work decently, seems to have given big winners on bch recently. That huge one from 600 to 1800 lol. *3
* No one should pay for things this simple by the way...
Melak's All In One indicator(AIO)This script the following indicators.
Support and Resistance (lines)
MACD Crossover (Crossing arrow under each candle where MACD crosses)
50, 100, 200 Simple Moving Averages (orange lines)
10, 20 Exponential Moving Averages (turquoise and pink lines)
Doji reversals (turquoise candles)
Inside Bar (white diamonds under each inside bar candle)
TD time indicator (numbers on top of candles)
Three Bars Down and Inside Bar v2Updated Version of my Script. Script includes a Filter for stocks that are down three days in a row. Also it checks for oversold rsi and inside bars. Works best daily with stocks.
Inside 4+ Candles Box (Entry + Target + SMA Stop Logic)🔍 What This Script Does
This indicator detects price compression areas using 4 or more consecutive inside candles, then draws a breakout box to visually highlight the range.
Once price closes above the box, a long entry marker is plotted, along with:
🎯 Target line at 1x box size above the breakout.
❌ Stop-loss at the box low or at a dynamic SMA-based level if the box is too large.
🧠 Why It’s Unique
This script combines inside bar compression, breakout logic, risk control, and visual clarity — all in one tool.
It also cancels the setup entirely if price closes below the box low before breakout, avoiding late or false entries.
⚙️ Customizable Settings
Minimum inside candles (default = 4)
SMA length (used as stop if box is large)
Box size % threshold to activate smart stop
Entry, Target, and Stop marker colors
📌 Notes
For long setups only (no short signals).
Use on any asset or timeframe (ideal on 4H/1D).
This is not financial advice. Use with proper risk management.
Backtest thoroughly before live use.
Built with ❤️ by using Pine Script v6.
🇸🇦 وصف مختصر باللغة العربية:
هذا المؤشر يكتشف مناطق تماسك السعر من خلال 4 شموع داخلية أو أكثر، ثم يرسم مربعًا يحدد منطقة الاختراق المحتملة.
عند الإغلاق أعلى المربع، يتم عرض إشارة دخول وسطر هدف بنسبة 100% من حجم المربع.
كما يتم احتساب وقف الخسارة تلقائيًا إما عند قاع المربع أو عند متوسط متحرك ذكي (SMA) إذا كان حجم المربع كبيرًا.
الميزة الإضافية: إذا تم كسر قاع المربع قبل الاختراق، يتم إلغاء الصفقة تلقائيًا لتجنب الدخول المتأخر.

Volume Profile + Price Action Strategy (POC-based)This indicator combines volume dynamics, price action patterns, and a simplified Point of Control (POC) to highlight potential high-probability trade zones.
🔍 Key Features
POC-Based Logic
Plots the POC from the most recent closed 10-minute candle as a horizontal level for intraday structure.
Volume Spike Detection
Highlights unusual activity based on volume compared to the average of the last N candles.
Effort vs. Result Analysis
Based on Wyckoff-inspired logic:
Absorption: Large volume, small body → possible buyer/seller absorption
False Move: Small volume, large body → potential fakeout
Price Action Recognition Detects:
Inside Bars
Pin Bars
Engulfing Candles
Signal Highlights
🔺 Absorption Signals (below bar, teal triangle)
🔻 False Move Signals (above bar, orange triangle)
🔷 POC Line
⚙️ Customizable Inputs
You can control signal sensitivity with these inputs:
Volume Spike Multiplier
Raise to filter only extreme volume spikes
→ Recommended: 2.0 to 3.0 for cleaner setups
Absorption Body Ratio
Lower to detect only very small bodies (tight candles)
→ Try 0.3 to 0.4 for stricter absorption logic
False Move Body Ratio
Raise to catch only large candles on low volume
→ Use 2.0+ to filter weak moves
🧠 How to Use
Use in confluence with:
Support/Resistance
VWAP or moving averages
Session opens/closes
Best on 10-minute charts, but adjustable
✅ Signal Tuning Tips
Want fewer but cleaner signals?
Increase Volume Spike Multiplier: 2.5+
Decrease Absorption Body Ratio: 0.3
Increase False Move Ratio: 2.0+
Want more frequent signals?
Lower Volume Multiplier: 1.2–1.5
Raise Absorption Ratio: 0.6+
Lower False Move Ratio: 1.2–1.4
📊 Recommended Timeframe
Optimized for 10-minute charts
Works intraday, especially around session opens and POC re-tests

Evolution Ranger V2This indicator plots 4H and 15M ranges and fractals.
The ranges are formed by the fractals and breaks of these candles
It also shows in a label if the trend BIAS on the 4H is "UC, NFT, FT or SFT" (Long or Short)
This will give the user a BIAS for the coming trading day. So when price breaks out of the plotted range, you'll have a new bias trend change
If it trading within the range, the trend bias remains the same
UC = unconfirmed Bias => wait
NFT= No follow through => Take only trades in the opposite direction from the break
FT = Follow through. => Wait for price to retrace to the other side of the 4H range, than trade in the direction of the BIAS
SFT = Strong follow through => Take trades in the direction of the BIAS anywhere in the 4H range
It draws all the range lines you need, so you don't have to.
4H Range (also on 15M), on the 15M; external and internal ranges.
Lots of possibilities:
-Plots the fractals, so you don't need another indicator. (Option to let the fractals repaint or not)
-4H Fractal Range lines and BIAS (previous fractal break line) and a 4H-BIAS label both on the M15 and 4H charts. No more switching between 4H and 15M charts needed.
-Option to switch on/off historic ranges.
-BIAS label shows 'UC, NFT, FT and SFT' - Long and Short
-Lots of alerts, break of 4H range, 15M external and internal ranges. You can go wild with it. Select 'Alert Once per bar'
-Option to show the 'Inside bar' and in a different candle colour.
-Option to toggle the repaint of fractal when the current candle has not closed yet.
-Option to show the BIAS label only for a confirmed bar while trading in live markets. When 'Off' the BIAS label repaints, but gives information on what might come, when the current bar closes.
-Most of the lines can be adjusted for colour and style to your own liking.
[FR]Custom Candles/FVG/nSideBarCustom Candles /FVG/ nSideBar
- I used this as a learning project for understanding plot()'s Better
- My goal was to see if I could use normal plots to cleanly plot FVGs on the chart using only plots with out and boxes/lines
The problem was if multiple FVGs were on back to back bars the plot fill would fill the line to the next FVG/Bar
I solved this by using 4 plots and alternating them if consecutive FVGs form
- 2 MODES
- Slim
- Normal
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
-Slim
Uses 3 plotcandle() parts and divides the candle between body/wicks/open and close
by manipulating the ohlc inputs and the colors I was able to pretty make them full customizable
all components are customizable with up/down colors
-Normal
These are your normal candles but they are full customize able from components to individual up/down colors
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- FVGs
There are 2 FVG settings can be used with both MODES
- Big
These are the FVGs that use plots and since there isn't a 500 object limit on plots you don't need to manage them in the code and they are there how ever far you need to look back
- Slim
These use a Line and the width of the line can be adjusted for user preferences
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- INSIDE-BARS
These will change the color of the body of either SLIM or NORMAL Candles
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drawing Snap Features Work Just Fine!
I suggest hiding your chart candles with the eye in the top left of the screen and moving the indicator to the top of your object tree
I understand that the candles in the chart pictures are impractical I was just demonstrating the functionality of the tool
Hope You Enjoy!!

Bar ChartI decided to change the type of charts for myself. Liked this one. When you add this script, the chart may slow down on a long history. Since this is my first script, I don't know how to make it easier.
A dot indicates a close, bars are displayed from high to low.
Black - inside bar
Blue outer bar
Green - high and low higher than the previous one
Red - high and low below the previous one
Tweak Strat FTFCThis script allows traders to view timeframe continuity on 7 timeframes at the top of the chart.
The trader selects 7 different timeframes, and the script will reflect whether the current candle for each timeframe is bullish or bearish (current price > the open OR current price < the open).
If a timeframe is currently bearish, the box will be purple.
If a timeframe is currently bullish, the box will be orange.
A circle in the middle of the box indicates that that timeframe is currently an inside bar (1).
An upward arrow indicates that that timeframe is currently a directional up bar (2u).
A downward arrow indicates that that timeframe is currently a directional down bar (2d).
A rectangle indicates that that timeframe is currently an outside bar (3).
NOTE: The color of the boxes is fixed. Traders MUST select a timeframe for EACH OF THE 7 FIELDS.

Additions to the indicator:
1. 200 EMA Band (High-Low) added
2. Bottom left table - Shows All Time High/Lows (52 weeks) and % away we are from both. The values will not change in this table even if you change the timeframe.
3. Bottom center table - Performance matrix and a quick glance comparison with Nifty with different days of return. This will show if there outperformance or underperformance in the scripts and in which duration.
4. Top Right table - This indicator plots a table off to the right of the chart to help with determining timeframe continuity. A great edge is only taking trades where full timeframe continuity is in place (i.e. if you are going long, make sure other timeframes are also green).
Green candles have green colored boxes, red candles have red colored boxes.
Inside bars are represented by a circle - ⬤
Outside bars are represented by a tall rectangle - ▮
2-up bars are indicated by an up arrow - ▲
2-down bars are indicated by a down arrow - ▼

Classic Hammer/IH patterns are often misleading. Ours are different. We identify them as true liquidity grab signals, a core concept used in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodologies.
A Hammer (H) is only valid if its low wick has pierced below the low of the previous candle (low < low ). This signifies a "stop hunt" where liquidity was absorbed below a key level before buyers aggressively pushed the price up.
An Inverted Hammer (IH) is only valid if its high wick has pierced above the high of the previous candle (high > high ). This shows liquidity was taken above a prior high before sellers took control and suppressed the price.
Harami: Filtering for Conviction
A classic Harami (an inside bar) can often just be a weak doji, signaling indecision. We filter this noise out.
Our Harami signal (BeH, BuH) requires the inside candle to have a meaningful body (defaulting to 30% of its own range, but fully customizable).
Furthermore, we have enhanced the logic to ensure the body of the inside candle is strictly contained within the body of the previous candle, making it a more precise and reliable signal of consolidation before a potential expansion.
Power Engulfing: A Signal of Overwhelming Force
We don't flag just any engulfing candle. We look for true displacement and momentum.
Our Power Engulfing pattern (BE, BuE) requires the body of the current candle to completely engulf the body of the previous candle.
Crucially, it must also close decisively beyond the entire range (including the wick) of the previous candle. A Bullish Engulfing must close above the previous high, and a Bearish Engulfing must close below the previous low. This confirms overwhelming force has entered the market and a reversal is highly probable.
How to Use the Dashboard
Set Your Reference Timeframe (refTF): Choose the higher timeframe you want to analyze (e.g., "240" for 4-Hour).
Identify the Narrative: Use the projected High/Low lines as your key support and resistance zones. A primary strategy is to wait for price to interact with these levels.
Anticipate the Draw on Liquidity: Watch as price approaches the previous HTF high or low. The dashboard helps you predict the market's next move. For example, if price is trading below the previous HTF low, you can anticipate a potential sweep of that level.
Confirm with a Signal: When a signal like a Hammer (H) appears on the dashboard after sweeping the previous low, it provides high-conviction confirmation that liquidity has been taken and price is ready to reverse.
Advanced Volatility Activator [AlgoFuego]🔵 Advanced Volatility Activator (AVA)
The Advanced Volatility Activator (AVA) is an innovative technical analysis indicator designed to help traders identify and react to market volatility.
By blending adaptive volatility metrics with a refined moving‑average algorithm, the indicator offers traders a dynamically responsive framework for trend identification.
🔸Dynamic Volatility Analysis
The indicator examines the high and low prices of each candle to evaluate market movements.
It categorizes price movements into different states (e.g., outside bars, inside bars, higher highs, lower lows) to provide insight into market conditions, then calculates price averages for bars that make a new high or low price.
This moving average serves as a baseline for volatility adjustments, aligning the tool with well-established technical indicators.
🔸 Customizable Sensitivity
Through the input, users can fine‑tune how responsive the moving average is to price fluctuations.
A higher sensitivity setting makes the moving average less responsive to rapid market changes, enabling the indicator to adapt to different market environments and trading styles.
🔸Integrated Multi-Timeframe Table
A distinctive feature of this indicator is its integrated table display, which provides a summary signal across multiple time frames.
This table serves as a quick reference guide for traders to compare market trends across different time periods.
This at‑a‑glance view empowers traders to confirm trend direction from intraday to higher‑timeframe perspectives without switching charts.
🔹 How It Works
1. Initial Setup
The indicator defines two baseline values: the current high and the current low.
These serve as reference points for all subsequent price comparisons and moving‑average calculations.
2. Volatility Smoothing
The indicator calculates the smoothed volatility range using an exponential moving average (EMA) of the absolute differences between successive prices.
This helps smooth out the erratic price movements of the simple moving average and improves the measurement of volatility.
3. Trend Probability Calculation
A Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the combined high‑low series is calculated.
That SMA is then compared against the smoothed volatility range from step 2 to estimate how likely it is that a genuine trend is forming.
4. Directional Counters
Two counters: bullish and bearish, track consecutive moves up or down.
Whichever counter increases more rapidly signals the prevailing market bias.
5. Drawing the Trend Line
Finally, the code generates a trend line that dynamically adapts to real‑time volatility.
The result is a clear, responsive visual that mirrors actual market behavior.
🔹 Visual & Table Customization
Color Coding
Upward and downward trends are easily distinguished by customizable color settings, enhancing visual clarity for decision-making.
Upward Movements
A lighter blue hue indicates an upward trend.
Downward Movements
An orange hue indicates a downward trend.
Candlestick Highlighting
The indicator plots candlesticks with the same trendline color so that the chart maintains a consistent visual theme, thus reinforcing the signal's clarity.
Table Configuration and Customization
This additional layer of information helps traders compare signals between different time horizons, which is essential for a comprehensive multi-timeframe strategy.
The code supports multiple user-defined timeframes (e.g., 15, 60, 240, and 480 minutes).
For each timeframe, the indicator queries the market data to determine if the signal is Bullish, Bearish, or No signal.
Visibility and Positioning
The table can be toggled on or off via a user input. Its position on the chart is also customizable, ranging from top-right to bottom-left, allowing flexibility based on personal chart layouts.
Color Settings
The table cells are populated with both the timeframe labels and the corresponding market signal text (e.g., "Bullish", "Bearish", "No signal"). Background colors for each signal cell change dynamically depending on the current state, making it easy for traders to assess market sentiment at a glance.
Users can adjust colors for the background, borders, and text of the table itself.
Moreover, specific colors are set to denote bullish signals (blue), bearish signals (orange), or no signal (default dark theme).
🔹 How to use
Before entering long trades, ensure that prices are above the Advanced Volatility Activator Line and the line indicates an upward movement.
🔹 Practical Benefits
Enhanced Market Awareness
By highlighting periods of low volatility, the indicator can serve as an early warning system for potential market reversals or breakouts.
The supplementary table offers a high-level overview of these signals across multiple timeframes, which aids in confirming trends or reversals.
Customizable and Versatile
Both the indicator and the table are highly customizable. Traders can fine-tune the sensitivity, adjust periods for the moving average, select color schemes, and choose their preferred timeframes, all allowing for a tool that adapts to various trading styles and market conditions.
Intuitive Visualization
The clearly defined color-coded trendline provides an immediate visual cue, making it easier for traders to interpret market trends at a glance.
Whether you are a short-term trader needing precise entry and exit points or a multi-timeframe analyst looking for broader trend confirmation, this indicator provides valuable insights on both a micro- and macro-level.
🔹 Disclosure
While this indicator is useful and ideally suited for active traders who require precise, customizable signals to navigate rapidly changing markets, it's critical to understand that past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results, and there are many more factors that go into being a profitable trader.
