ICT Turtle Soup (Liquidity Reversal)ICT Turtle Soup — Liquidity Reversal Detection
Classic Liquidity Trap Reversal Strategy for Smart Money Traders
This indicator implements the ICT Turtle Soup concept — a classic liquidity-based reversal pattern — which occurs when price runs above or below a recent swing level to grab liquidity, then sharply reverses. This pattern is commonly used in Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Inner Circle Trader (ICT) strategies to anticipate false breakouts and high-probability reversals.
🔍 What This Script Does:
Identifies Swing Highs & Lows
Detects recent swing highs and lows using a customizable lookback period.
Tracks Liquidity Grabs
A bearish Turtle Soup setup is triggered when price breaks above a recent swing high but closes back below it.
A bullish Turtle Soup setup is triggered when price breaks below a recent swing low but closes back above it.
These conditions often signal liquidity traps, where price sweeps resting orders before reversing.
Plots Signals Directly on the Chart
Turtle Soup setups are marked with 🐢🔻 (bearish) and 🐢🔺 (bullish) labels.
Optional full-text labels can also be displayed for clarity and journaling.
Includes Alert Conditions
Alerts can be enabled to notify you of bullish or bearish Turtle Soup reversals in real-time.
⚙️ Customization Features:
Adjustable swing lookback period
Enable/disable Turtle Soup labels
Set label font size
Choose your preferred bullish/bearish signal colors
💡 How to Use:
Add this script to your chart (ideally on intraday timeframes such as 5m–15m).
Wait for a Turtle Soup signal near a key swing high/low or liquidity zone.
Combine with other confirmation tools (e.g., FVGs, Order Blocks, OTE) for stronger setups.
Use alerts to stay ahead of fast-moving reversals.
🧠 Why It Works:
Turtle Soup setups are rooted in liquidity theory — they exploit the market’s tendency to sweep obvious swing levels before reversing. These moves often trap retail traders and mark the beginning of Smart Money entries.
🔗 Best Used With:
Maximize the edge by combining this with other SMC tools:
✅ First FVG — Opening Range Fair Value Gap Detector
✅ ICT SMC Liquidity Grabs + OB + Fibonacci OTE Levels
✅ Liquidity Levels — Smart Swing Lows
Together, they create a complete ecosystem for identifying, confirming, and executing liquidity-driven trade setups with precision.

Lune Technical Analysis Premium⬛️ Overview
Lune Technical Analysis is a state-of-the-art TradingView indicator, meticulously designed to provide real-time market insights. Distinguished by its non-repainting features that operate in real-time, this tool brings enhanced accuracy and timeliness to your market analysis.
🟦 Features
Lune Technical Analysis equips traders with an array of innovative features:
🔹 Candle Coloring: The Candle Coloring feature introduces an innovative approach to visualizing market sentiment by coloring chart candles. It is devised to streamline your market analysis, offering a readily digestible snapshot of market trends. For example, if you aim to gauge the predominant market sentiment promptly, enable this feature for instant candle color-coding in accordance with prevailing bullish or bearish market structures. Though it currently supports only Market Structure-based Candle Coloring, its settings can be manipulated for enabling or disabling this feature. This feature operates by applying predefined algorithms that interpret market sentiment, coloring the candles accordingly.
🔹 Chart Pattern Detection: This sophisticated tool automatically detects and illustrates common chart patterns on your chart, simplifying the process of pattern identification. It identifies a range of patterns such as Head & Shoulders, Inverted Head & Shoulders, Ascending/Descending Wedges, Broadening Wedges, various Triangles, and Double Tops/Bottoms, enhancing your confluence detection in the market. For example, upon detecting a Double Top pattern, you could anticipate a potential price reversal due to this bearish signal. The sensitivity of this tool can be customized according to your trading style, with lower settings for short-term changes and higher for long-term. This feature leverages predefined formulas and price action analysis to identify these patterns.
🔹 Trendlines: With the Automatic Trendline Drawing tool, your technical analysis becomes significantly more efficient and precise. This feature is engineered to identify upward and downward Trendlines, aiding in locating potential pivots, and market support/resistance. For instance, if the price consistently rebounds off a Trendline, it may continue to do so, serving as a support/resistance level. However, a break through the Trendline could signal potential volatility and trend change. This feature's sensitivity to price changes can be adjusted to either short or long-term. It works by tracing Trendlines based on price action and wick formations to detect potential pivots.
🔹 Liquidity Bubbles: Liquidity Bubbles is an advanced tool that pinpoints key liquidity areas and large positions in real-time. This feature significantly contributes to effective trading strategy formulation by highlighting potential entry and exit points. It operates in real-time, ensuring zero repaint or lag, and supports two modes: Enhanced Bubbles and Basic Bubbles. For instance, the detection of multiple bullish Liquidity Bubbles during a ranging market could suggest an upward price movement due to dominant bullish volume. This feature's settings include thresholds for insignificant bubble filtering and a mode selection feature. Liquidity Bubbles operates by applying a proprietary formula to volume data, determining general volume direction and potential positions.
🔹 Market Structure: The Market Structure tool identifies key market structures such as Break of Structures (BoS) and Change of Character (ChoCh), thereby enhancing your ability to read market trends and sentiment. This smart money concept gives you a unique insight into short-term and long-term market trends. For instance, the appearance of a bullish Break of Structure and Change of Character after a predominantly bearish market sentiment could suggest a new bullish trend. This feature allows users to select which Market Structures to display and calculates these structures based on the market's high and low points.
🔹 Order Blocks: Order Blocks provide a visual representation of areas where large market participants are likely to place orders. These zones, where significant buying or selling activity has occurred in the past, offer insightful data for future price movements. The Order Blocks feature operates in real-time, providing real-time Order Blocks without any lag. For instance, if the price enters a large Order Block with predominantly bullish volume, an upward price movement can be anticipated. However, if the price breaks through the block, it could suggest the block's invalidation and a likely continued price fall. You can configure the settings to enable an additional Order Block, customize timeframes, overlap functions, and apply a quality filter. This feature calculates Order Blocks using the volume and candle size data.
🔹 Supply/Demand Zones: This real-time tool identifies crucial supply and demand zones, revealing potential price reaction points. These zones, where supply (selling pressure) and demand (buying pressure) have historically impacted price significantly, provide traders with insights into potential areas of strong support (demand) and resistance (supply). For example, if the price enters a large supply zone, a price rejection could be anticipated due to historical selling pressure at this zone. The settings enable users to add an additional Supply/Demand Zone, customize the timeframe, and apply a quality filter. This feature identifies common Supply/Demand Zones patterns based on volume and the size of the zone and displays them on the chart.
🔹 Fair Value Gaps: The Fair Value Gaps tool is designed to identify potential price correction zones or "gaps". These areas, where the market price sharply deviated from the fair value, suggest potential price adjustments in the future. For instance, the formation of a bullish Fair Value Gap could indicate a future price drop to fill this gap, potentially followed by an upward movement if the gap was of fair value. The settings allow users to enable additional Fair Value Gaps, customize the timeframe, and apply a quality filter. This feature measures large market gaps based on the size of the gap and its volume.
These features and tools collectively offer a comprehensive solution for traders to understand and navigate the financial markets. It's important to remember that they are designed to assist in making informed trading decisions and should be used as part of a balanced trading strategy.
🟧 Usage
Lune Technical Analysis's unique feature set can be leveraged both individually and synergistically. It is important to understand each feature and experiment with different configurations to best suit your unique trading needs.
🔸 Example #1: The following example demonstrates how the Order Block and Liquidity Bubbles feature can be used together to enhance your market analysis.
Order Blocks work in real-time to identify key order zones based on price action. These zones are often crucial for predicting price fluctuations. Meanwhile, Liquidity Bubbles act as real-time visual cues that detect significant market positions, facilitating an understanding of market accumulation, distribution, and trapped positions.
In this instance, at point 1, a bearish Basic and Enhanced Liquidity Bubble is visible within a crucial Order Block. The combination of these indicators augments the bearish sentiment, leading to a potential price decrease. Similarly, at point 2, the conjunction of two bullish Basic Liquidity Bubbles within an Order Block strengthens the bullish sentiment, culminating in a subsequent price increase.
🔸 Example #2: The following example demonstrates how Supply and Demand Zones can be used to detect strong and quality supports and resistance.
Supply and Demand Zones operate in real-time, detecting crucial zones based on price action and volume. This feature is invaluable for predicting potential price reaction points.
At point 1, the price enters a Supply Zone, a historical hotspot for selling activity, which usually leads to a price rejection and consequent decrease. At point 2, a Demand Zone indicating a bullish sentiment suggests a potential reversal when the price touches this level.
🔸 Example #3: The following example demonstrates how the Chart Pattern Detection feature is able to detect chart patterns to help enhance your trades.
Chart Pattern Detection employs formulas and price action analysis to identify common chart patterns as they form. Here, it successfully detects a 'Head and Shoulders' pattern, a conventionally bearish pattern, indicating a potential price drop.
🟥 Conclusion
Lune Technical Analysis stands as an exceptional blend of real-time insights into market activity. Its real-time, non-repainting features offer traders a more precise and timely approach to market analysis, promoting improved decision making in ever-changing market conditions.

1H/3m Concept [RunRox]🕘 1H/3m Concept is a versatile trading methodology based on liquidity sweeps from fractal points identified on higher timeframes, followed by price reversals at these key moments.
Below, I will explain this concept in detail and provide clear examples demonstrating its practical application.
⁉️ WHAT IS A FRACTALS?
In trading, a fractal is a technical analysis pattern composed of five consecutive candles, typically highlighting local market turning points. Specifically, a fractal high is formed when a candle’s high is higher than the highs of the two candles on either side, whereas a fractal low occurs when a candle’s low is lower than the lows of the two adjacent candles on both sides.
Traders use fractals as reference points for identifying significant support and resistance levels, potential reversal areas, and liquidity zones within price action analysis. Below is a screenshot illustrating clearly formed fractals on the chart.
📌 ABOUT THE CONCEPT
The 1H/3m Concept involves marking Higher Timeframe (HTF) fractals directly onto a Lower Timeframe (LTF) chart. When a liquidity sweep occurs at an HTF fractal level, we remain on the same LTF chart (since all HTF fractals are already plotted on this lower timeframe) and wait for a clear Market Structure Shift (MSS) to identify our potential entry point.
Below is a schematic illustration clearly demonstrating how this concept works in practice.
Below is another 💡 real-chart example , showing liquidity in the form of a 1H fractal, swept by a rapid impulse move. Immediately afterward, a clear Market Structure Shift (MSS) occurs, signaling a potential entry point into the trade.
Another example is shown below, where we see our hourly fractal, from which price clearly reacts, providing an opportunity to search for an entry point.
As illustrated on the chart, the fractal levels from the higher timeframe are clearly displayed, but we’re working directly on the 5-minute chart. This allows us to remain on one timeframe without needing to switch back and forth between charts to spot such trading setups.
🔍 MTF FRACTALS
This concept can be applied across various HTF-LTF timeframe combinations. Although our examples illustrate 1H fractals used on a 5-minute chart, you can effectively utilize many other timeframe combinations, such as:
30m HTF fractals on 1m chart
1H HTF fractals on 3m chart
4H HTF fractals on 15m chart
1D HTF fractals on 1H chart
The key idea behind this concept is always the same: identify liquidity at fractal levels on the higher timeframe (HTF), then wait for a clear Market Structure Shift (MSS) on the lower timeframe (LTF) to enter trades.
⚙️ SETTINGS
🔷 Trade Direction – Select the preferred trading direction (Long, Short, or Both).
🔷 HTF – Choose the higher timeframe from which fractals will be displayed on the current chart.
🔷 HTF Period – Number of candles required on both sides of a fractal candle (before and after) to confirm fractal formation on the HTF.
🔷 Current TF Period – Sensitivity to the impulse that sweeps liquidity, used for identifying and forming the MSS line.
🔷 Show HTF – Enable or disable displaying HTF fractal lines on your chart. You can also customize line style and color.
🔷 Max Age (Bars) – Number of recent bars within which fractals from the selected HTF will be displayed.
🔷 Show Entry – Enable or disable displaying the MSS line on the chart.
🔷 Enable Alert – Activates TradingView alerts whenever the MSS line is crossed.
You can also enable 🔔 alerts, which notify you whenever price crosses the MSS line. This significantly simplifies the process of identifying these setups on your charts. Simply configure your preferred timeframes and wait for notifications when the MSS line is crossed.
🔶 We greatly appreciate your feedback and suggestions for improving the indicator!
Killzones & Previous High-Low Liquidity [odnac]This indicator is designed for use in intraday trading to visualize key "Killzones" (specific time windows during different global market sessions) and highlight liquidity levels based on previous highs and lows from the previous day and week.
It helps traders identify potential market entry and exit points based on time-based trading zones and price action levels.
Key Features:
Killzone (Market Session Timeframes):
Asia (2000-0000 UTC): Displays a shaded box over the Asia trading session.
Europe (0200-0500 UTC): Highlights the European trading session.
New York AM (0830-1100 UTC): Represents the morning session of the NY market.
New York PM (1330-1600 UTC): Represents the afternoon session of the NY market.
Each of these timeframes can be customized in terms of session start and end times, and the shaded areas will help identify high liquidity periods when the market tends to be more active.
Previous High-Low Liquidity Zones:
Previous Week's High/Low: Displays lines at the high and low of the previous week.
These are important liquidity levels that can influence price action.
Previous Day's High/Low: Shows the high and low from the previous trading day.
These are also significant levels to watch for potential support and resistance.
Filters and Customization:
Position Filtering: The indicator allows users to filter out previous highs or lows if the current price doesn't align with those levels.
For example, it can filter out previous week highs if the current price is lower than that level.
Vertical Lines: Optional vertical lines to highlight key time points such as the start and end of the previous week and day.
How It Works:
The indicator visually draws "killzones" as shaded regions on the chart, indicating periods of increased market activity.
This can help traders align their strategies with the most liquid periods of the day.
The previous high and low lines (both for the previous week and the previous day) are drawn as solid lines and can be toggled on/off in the settings.
Labels are added to indicate the specific levels and periods.
The indicator provides clear visual cues, helping traders assess if the price is near important liquidity levels and whether the current market conditions align with those levels.
Customizable Settings:
You can control whether each Killzone and liquidity level is shown on the chart.
Color customization for the various zones and lines is also available.
The indicator also lets you decide whether to hide weekend data, set time-frame limits, and choose whether or not to show vertical lines at the beginning and end of each trading session.
This indicator is aimed at traders who want to trade based on high-liquidity periods and understand where key support and resistance levels are likely to emerge based on previous price action.
True Liquidity BlocksSo basically I've been deep diving into liquidity trading concepts similar to ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and developed an indicator that breaks down market movement through a volume-centric lens.
Key Concept:
Markets move not just by price, but by resolving trapped positions
Volume segments, not time intervals, show true market dynamics
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) becomes a key structural reference
What Makes This Different:
Tracks volume segments instead of fixed time frames
Identifies "trapped" trader positions
Measures liquidity level efficiency
Color-codes bars based on nearest liquidity zone
Indicator Features:
Cyan/Red liquidity levels showing buy/sell pressure
Efficiency tracking for each level
Dynamic volume-based segmentation
Bar coloring to show nearest liquidity zone
Theoretical Inspiration: Viewed markets as energy systems where:
Positions create potential energy
Price movement resolves this energy
Trends form through systematic position liquidation
VWAP Recalculation in Each Segment:
Segment Start:
VWAP resets when volume threshold User Inputtable (600,000) is reached
Uses the last 4 price values (High, Low, Close, Close) for calculation
Weighted by volume traded during that segment
Calculation Method:
pineCopy = ta.vwap(hlcc4, na(segment_start) ? true : na, 1)
hlcc4: Combines high, low, close prices
na(segment_start): Ensures reset at new segment
Weighted by volume, not equal time intervals
Key Points:
Dynamic recalculation each segment
Reflects most recent trading activity
Provides real-time fair price reference
Tracks positioning
Essentially, VWAP resets and recalculates with each new volume segment, creating a rolling, volume-weighted average price that maps trader positioning.
BSL (Buy Side Liquidity) and SSL (Sell Side Liquidity) Explained:
When a volume segment closes relative to VWAP, it creates natural positioning traps:
BSL (Cyan) - Created when price closes BELOW THAT SEGMENT'S VWAP:
Bulls are positioned BELOW VWAP (trapped)
Shorts are positioned ABOVE VWAP (In Profit)
SSL (Red) - Created when price closes ABOVE THAT SEGMENT"S VWAP:
Bulls are positioned ABOVE VWAP (trapped)
Shorts are positioned BELOW VWAP (trapped)
Core Mechanism:
VWAP acts as a reference point for trader positioning
Trapped positions create inherent market tension
Levels expand to show accumulating pressure
Color-coded for quick identification of potential move direction
The goal: Visualize where traders are likely "stuck" and must eventually resolve their positions or liquidate other's, driving market movement.
It was just a fun experiment but If ya'll have any thoughts on it or what I could do to improve it, I would appreciate it.
Just a little note, It's optimized for futures, but if u uncheck the "Rest at Futures Open ?" setting, it allow full reign of any asset with volume data.
ICTProTools | ICT Insight - Market Environment🚀 INTRODUCTION
The Market Environment Indicator provides traders with an essential contextual framework for analyzing price movements. Built on the principles of ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Smart Money Concepts (SMC), this tool offers a structured view of how institutional players drive markets through liquidity manipulation and price level interactions. By defining the market environment, the indicator helps traders focus on the most relevant price zones, reducing distractions and enhancing decision-making.
At its core, the Interbank Dealing Range (IBDR) creates a clear structure of protected highs/lows and Premium/Discount zones , highlighting key areas for potential price reactions. This framework gives traders a lens to interpret market behavior and concentrate on meaningful liquidity zones and price action. The indicator helps traders navigate the market with precision, spotting significant opportunities while filtering out market noise. Indeed, the IBDR isn't always easily identifiable, and not every move will form a distinct dealing range.
This indicator goes beyond mere price levels… It reveals the larger market context in which prices evolve. By mastering this environment, traders can align their strategies with institutional logic and make well-informed decisions.
💎 FEATURES
The Interbank Dealing Range (IBDR) is a crucial concept within the ICT methodology that helps traders identify the market environment across multiple timeframes, specifically the premium and discount zones. The IBDR delineates areas where traders have the potential to buy low and sell high.
Its extremes are defined by the sweep of both buy-side and sell-side liquidity . These levels indicate the boundaries within which price is expected to evolve . Understanding these boundaries allows traders to determine where it is appropriate to enter or exit trades.
The primary goal of utilizing the IBDR is to capitalize on price movements by buying at discounted levels and selling at premium levels. This strategy aligns with the fundamental principle of trading: to buy at lower prices and sell at higher prices, maximizing profit potential.
By visualizing the IBDR on your charts, you can gain valuable insights into the prevailing market conditions and make informed trading decisions that align with the institutional approach to buying and selling.
This chart illustrates the Interbank Dealing Range (IBDR) applied to the US100 index, displaying two from different timeframes: a 1-hour (1h) IBDR on the left and a 30-minute (30m) IBDR on the right. This multi-timeframe view provides essential context for price action analysis.
The 1h IBDR could here function as the primary reference range, establishing key boundaries (High and Low) for price movement. Within this range, the Equilibrium (midpoint) separates the Premium zone (above) from the Discount zone (below). The 0.25 and 0.75 levels add further precision by subdividing these zones.
Price action then flows between these zones, creating and targeting liquidity at higher and lower levels through Relative Equal Highs and Lows. A strong upward movement into the deeper level of the Premium Zone captures high-side liquidity (with a notable reaction at the FVG on the left), forming a secondary 30m IBDR. After this liquidity sweep, the remaining liquidity is on the low side. Price then reverses downward toward it. Here, the 30m IBDR would suggest a confirmation for a potential sell entry by targeting the IBDR lows.
The relationship between the broader 1h IBDR, the more detailed 30m IBDR, and all related levels creates a powerful analytical framework. The larger timeframe provides context, while the smaller one reveals specific trading opportunities by providing entry confirmations.
✨ SETTINGS
IBDR Metrics: Adjust the timeframe and sensitivity for calculating the IBDR so traders can adapt the indicator to both short-term intraday movements and longer-term trends.
Premium/Discount Zones: Customize the levels such as 0, 0.5, 1, and other levels like 0.25 and 0.75 by default and their displayed colors and associated labels.
Alerts: Configure the alerts for Premium/Discount zones, High/Low breaks, and new IBDR, ensuring traders are kept up to date on key market events.
🎯 CONCLUSION
The Market Environment indicator serves as a powerful tool for analyzing and navigating market structure through liquidity zones. It helps identify optimal buy and sell areas while aligning with the institutional logic of major market players. While its features provide a valuable edge, it’s essential to remember that none should be used on its own, and many more factors go into being a profitable trader.
SMC Order Block & Liquidity EntryThe SMC Order Block and Liquidity Trap Entry Strategy script uses Smart Money Concepts (SMC), which analyze institutional actions in the market, to assist traders in identifying high-probability trades. In order to help traders match their entry with institutional activity, this script highlights important regions of interest, including order blocks, liquidity zones, and indications for Break of Structure (BOS) or Change of Character (CHoCH).
The fundamental ideas of this approach, which focuses on regions where institutions frequently make sizable orders or sweep liquidity, are based on SMC principles. Order blocks, which are frequently important support or resistance zones when institutions are involved, are the final bullish or bearish candle before a significant price move in the other direction. There are liquidity zones that show where retail stop-loss orders build up (above recent highs or below recent lows), such as Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) and Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL). Before changing the direction of the price, institutions could target these zones, giving traders possible chances.
The script depicts liquidity levels above or below recent highs and lows, automatically finds order blocks within a specified lookback time, and looks for BOS (a continuation signal) or CHoCH (a reversal signal). When liquidity retests inside an order block coincide with BOS or CHoCH circumstances, entry signals are produced. While short entries are triggered when the price breaks below the order block and SSL, long entry alerts are triggered when the price breaks above the order block and BSL.
Night Low Liquidity Congestions with 4 Trading SessionsThis indicator is designed to help traders visualize and analyze key market periods of low liquidity during the night and identify high-activity zones in the morning. It also includes customizable time sessions for major global markets, including the European and American sessions, as well as the London Close session.
T he main functionalities include:

Global Liquidity Index and DEMA1001. Global Liquidity Index:
The code calculates global liquidity from economic data from multiple countries and regions. Specifically, it aggregates money supply data from major economies such as the United States, Europe, China, and Japan, and sums and adjusts them to get a global liquidity index.
This index is calculated by summing data from different sources and subtracting the impact of some financial instruments (such as reverse repurchase agreements, etc.), and then converting the result into a number in trillions. This can help analyze the liquidity conditions in global money markets.
2. ROC SMA (Simple Moving Average of Rate of Change):
The code calculates the rate of change (ROC) of the global liquidity index, which is a way to measure the speed of change of the index.
Then, a simple moving average (SMA) is applied to the rate of change, which helps smooth the data and identify trends.
The ROC SMA curve is displayed in yellow to help users observe the trend of liquidity changes.
3. DEMA (Double Exponential Moving Average):
DEMA is a more complex moving average that attempts to reduce the lag of the moving average and provide a more sensitive trend response.
The calculation method is to first calculate a standard exponential moving average (EMA), then calculate the EMA of this EMA, and use these two results to calculate DEMA.
The code allows users to set the period length of DEMA (default is 100), which can adjust the speed of DEMA's response to price changes.
The DEMA curve is displayed in blue, helping users to more accurately capture the trends and changes of global liquidity indicators.
[DarkTrader] Swing OrderflowSwing Orderflow is a indicator that helps traders detect key swing highs and lows in price action. It is designed to enhance your charting experience by highlighting important support and resistance levels while providing clear visual cues on market structure changes. By tracking swing pivots and price trends, this indicator enables traders to make more informed decisions regarding potential entry and exit points in the market.
This indicator is inspired by @Fractalyst Indicator :
The core functionality of the script revolves around detecting swing highs and lows based on a customizable swing period. It identifies these pivots by comparing price movements over a specific time window, marking the points where price either peaks or bottoms out. Swing highs are plotted as resistance levels when the price breaks above a certain threshold, while swing lows are plotted as support levels when price breaks below it. These key points are represented with dotted lines and labels on the chart for easy reference.
Indicator In Use :
Swing High Calculation
A swing high occurs when the high of a specific bar (or candle) is greater than the highs of the surrounding bars within a defined range (called the swing period).
Function used to find the highest price within a specified range : ta.highest(period)
If the current price is greater than the highest price of this period, it's marked as a potential swing high.
A swing high generally represents a resistance level, where the price has reached a peak before declining.
Swing Low Calculation
A swing low occurs when the low of a specific bar is lower than the lows of the surrounding bars within the swing period.
Function used to find the lowest price within a specified range : ta.lowest(period)
If the current price is lower than this lowest price, it's identified as a swing low.
Swing lows represent support levels, where the price reaches a bottom before bouncing back.
These points are plotted on the chart, and the script also tracks whether price breaks above the swing high or below the swing low to determine trends or possible reversals.
BSL (Buy Side Liquidity)
BSL represents the Buy Side Liquidity, where traders are expected to have their buy orders (usually stop-loss orders for short positions).
When the price reaches a swing high, traders who are short may have stop orders placed above this level. Once these levels are breached, the script identifies this as a liquidity area where stop orders get triggered, causing potential upward price movement.
The script marks the swing high with a "BSL" label and line to indicate this key resistance and liquidity zone.
SSL (Sell Side Liquidity)
SSL refers to the Sell Side Liquidity, where traders place sell orders (usually stop-loss orders for long positions).
Swing lows are important levels where traders holding long positions place their stop orders. When the price drops below a swing low, it triggers these sell orders, causing potential downward price movement.
The script marks the swing low with an "SSL" label and line, signaling this key support and liquidity zone.
In essence, BSL and SSL represent areas where liquidity is pooled, making them critical points in price action. These liquidity areas, when breached, often lead to aggressive price moves, allowing traders to anticipate trends.
Change in State of Delivery CISD ICT [TradingFinder] Liquidity 1🔵 Introduction
🟣 What is CISD ?
Change in State of Delivery (CISD) is a key concept in technical analysis, similar to Change of Character (ChoCh) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Smart Money trading styles. Like ChoCh and MSS, CISD helps traders identify critical changes in market structure and make timely entries into trades.
To determine the CISD Level, traders typically review the last 1 to 4 candles to identify the first positive or negative candle. The CISD Level is then set using the opening price of the next candle.
In this version of the indicator, support and resistance levels are defined based on liquidity, which includes patterns such as SFP (Swing Failure Pattern), fake breakout, and false breakout.
Bullish CISD :
Bearish CISD :
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Bullish CISD (Change in State of Delivery Upward)
In Bullish CISD, the trend shifts from bearish to bullish after the price hits a liquidity zone, typically indicated by patterns such as SFP, fake breakout, or false breakout.
The steps to identify Bullish CISD are as follow s:
Identify the liquidity zone (SFP, fake breakout).
Review the candles and find the first positive candle.
Set the CISD Level using the opening price of the next candle after the positive candle.
Confirm the change in state of delivery when the price closes above the CISD Level.
Enter the trade after CISD confirmation.
🟣 Bearish CISD (Change in State of Delivery Downward)
In Bearish CISD, the trader looks for a shift from a bullish to a bearish trend. This change typically occurs when the price hits a liquidity level, indicated by patterns such as SFP or false breakout.
The steps to identify Bearish CISD are :
Identify the liquidity zone.
Review the candles and find the first negative candle.
Set the CISD Level using the opening price of the next candle after the negative candle.
Confirm the change in state of delivery when the price closes below the CISD Level.
Enter a short trade after CISD confirmation.
🟣 CISD Compared to ChoCh and MSS (CISD Vs ChoCh/ MSS)
CISD, ChoCh, and MSS are all tools for identifying trend changes in the market, but they have some differences :
CISD: Focuses on a change in the state of delivery and uses liquidity patterns (SFP, fake breakout) and key candles to confirm trend reversals.
ChoCh: Identifies a change in the market’s character, often signaling rapid shifts in trend direction.
MSS: Focuses on changes in market structure and identifies the breaking of key levels as a signal of trend shifts.
🔵 Settings
🟣 CISD Logical settings
Bar Back Check : Determining the return of candles to identify the CISD level.
CISD Level Validity : CISD level validity period based on the number of candles.
🟣 SFP Logical settings
Swing period : You can set the swing detection period.
Max Swing Back Method : It is in two modes "All" and "Custom". If it is in "All" mode, it will check all swings, and if it is in "Custom" mode, it will check the swings to the extent you determine.
Max Swing Back : You can set the number of swings that will go back for checking.
🟣 CISD Display settings
Displaying or not displaying swings and setting the color of labels and lines.
🟣 SFP Display settings
Displaying or not displaying swings and setting the color of labels and lines.
🔵 Conclusion
CISD is a powerful tool for identifying trend reversals using liquidity patterns and key candle analysis. Traders can use the CISD Level to detect trend changes and find optimal entry and exit points.
This concept is similar to ChoCh and MSS but stands out with its focus on confirming trend changes through liquidity and specific patterns. With the right approach, CISD helps traders capitalize on market movements more effectively.

**Title:** God's of Liquidity
**Description:**
The "Gods of Liquidity" script is a comprehensive trading tool designed to help traders identify high-probability buy and sell opportunities based on a combination of liquidity levels, RSI-based sentiment analysis, and session-specific filters.
**Key Features:**
1. **Liquidity Zones Identification:**
- The script dynamically calculates the previous day's high and low levels, which serve as critical liquidity zones. Traders can use these levels to spot potential breakout points and reversals.
2. **RSI-Based Sentiment Analysis:**
- The script incorporates a sophisticated RSI-based sentiment model that differentiates between institutional (Banker) and retail (Hot Money) activity. This dual RSI approach allows traders to gauge market sentiment and anticipate shifts in momentum.
- **Banker RSI:** Measures the sentiment of institutional traders, with customizable sensitivity and period parameters.
- **Hot Money RSI:** Measures retail trader sentiment, with its own adjustable settings to tailor the script to various market conditions.
3. **Session and Day Filters:**
- Traders can restrict signals to specific trading sessions and days of the week, providing greater control and precision in executing trades. This feature is particularly useful for aligning trading activity with market conditions that best suit the strategy.
4. **Breakout and Reversal Signals:**
- The script generates buy signals when the price breaks above the previous day's high, accompanied by bullish RSI sentiment from institutional traders. Conversely, sell signals are generated when the price breaks below the previous day's low, with bearish institutional sentiment.
- These signals are visually marked on the chart, making it easier for traders to identify potential trading opportunities.
5. **Customizable Moving Averages:**
- The script allows users to customize the moving averages used in the RSI calculations, giving traders the flexibility to adapt the tool to their specific trading style and market conditions.
6. **Alert System:**
- Alerts are integrated to notify traders when buy or sell conditions are met, ensuring that traders can react promptly to potential trading opportunities without constantly monitoring the charts.
**How It Works:**
- The script uses the previous day's high and low as key liquidity levels. The price crossing these levels, combined with RSI-based signals, indicates potential buy or sell opportunities.
- The sentiment analysis is derived from the RSI values, with separate calculations for institutional and retail activities. The crossover points of these RSI values against their respective moving averages trigger buy or sell signals.
- The session and day filters allow traders to focus on the most relevant times for trading, enhancing the effectiveness of the strategy.
**Usage:**
- This indicator is designed for Forex traders who want to integrate liquidity zones and sentiment analysis into their trading strategy. It is particularly effective on daily or higher timeframes where liquidity levels and RSI-based sentiment analysis can provide strong indications of market direction.
- The script's flexibility in adjusting session times, days, and RSI parameters makes it suitable for a wide range of trading styles, from day trading to swing trading.

Daily Liquidity Peaks and Troughs [ST]Daily Liquidity Peaks and Troughs
Description in English:
This indicator identifies peaks and troughs of highest liquidity on a daily timeframe by analyzing volume data. It helps traders visualize key points of high buying or selling pressure, which could indicate potential reversal or continuation areas.
Detailed Explanation:
Configuration:
Lookback Length: This input defines the period over which the highest high and lowest low are calculated. The default value is 14. This means the script will look at the past 14 bars to determine if the current high or low is a pivot point.
Volume Threshold Multiplier: This input defines the multiplier for the average volume. For example, a multiplier of 1.5 means the volume needs to be 1.5 times the average volume to be considered a significant peak or trough.
Peak Color: This input sets the color for liquidity peaks. The default color is red.
Trough Color: This input sets the color for liquidity troughs. The default color is green.
Volume Calculation:
Average Volume: The script calculates the simple moving average (SMA) of the volume over the lookback period. This helps to identify periods of significantly higher volume.
Volume Threshold: The threshold is determined by multiplying the average volume by the volume threshold multiplier. Only volumes exceeding this threshold are considered significant.
Identifying Peaks and Troughs:
Liquidity Peak: A peak is identified when the current high is the highest high over the lookback period and the current volume exceeds the volume threshold. This indicates a potential area of strong selling pressure.
Liquidity Trough: A trough is identified when the current low is the lowest low over the lookback period and the current volume exceeds the volume threshold. This indicates a potential area of strong buying pressure.
These peaks and troughs are marked on the chart with labels and shapes for easy visualization.
Plotting Peaks and Troughs:
Labels: The script uses labels to mark peaks and troughs on the chart. Peaks are marked with a red label and troughs with a green label.
Shapes: The script plots triangles above peaks and below troughs to highlight these areas visually.
Indicator Benefits:
Liquidity Identification: Helps traders identify key areas of high liquidity, indicating strong buying or selling pressure.
Visual Cues: Provides clear visual signals for potential reversal or continuation points, aiding in making informed trading decisions.
Customizable Parameters: Allows traders to adjust the lookback length and volume threshold to suit different trading strategies and market conditions.
Justification of Component Combination:
Peaks and Troughs Identification: Combining pivot points with volume analysis provides a robust method to identify significant liquidity areas. This helps in detecting potential market reversals or continuations.
Volume Analysis: Utilizing average volume and volume threshold ensures that only significant volume spikes are considered, enhancing the accuracy of identified peaks and troughs.
How Components Work Together:
The script first calculates the average volume over the specified lookback period.
It then checks each bar to see if it qualifies as a liquidity peak or trough based on the highest high, lowest low, and volume threshold.
When a peak or trough is identified, it is marked on the chart with a label and a shape, providing clear visual cues for traders.
Título: Picos e Fundos de Liquidez Diários
Descrição em Português:
Este indicador identifica picos e fundos de maior liquidez no gráfico diário, analisando os dados de volume. Ele ajuda os traders a visualizar pontos-chave de alta pressão de compra ou venda, o que pode indicar áreas potenciais de reversão ou continuação.
Explicação Detalhada:
Configuração:
Comprimento de Retrocesso: Este input define o período sobre o qual a máxima e mínima são calculadas. O valor padrão é 14. Isso significa que o script analisará os últimos 14 candles para determinar se a máxima ou mínima atual é um ponto de pivô.
Multiplicador de Limite de Volume: Este input define o multiplicador para o volume médio. Por exemplo, um multiplicador de 1.5 significa que o volume precisa ser 1.5 vezes o volume médio para ser considerado um pico ou fundo significativo.
Cor do Pico: Este input define a cor para os picos de liquidez. A cor padrão é vermelha.
Cor do Fundo: Este input define a cor para os fundos de liquidez. A cor padrão é verde.
Cálculo do Volume:
Volume Médio: O script calcula a média móvel simples (SMA) do volume ao longo do período de retrocesso. Isso ajuda a identificar períodos de volume significativamente mais alto.
Limite de Volume: O limite é determinado multiplicando o volume médio pelo multiplicador de limite de volume. Apenas volumes que excedem esse limite são considerados significativos.
Identificação de Picos e Fundos:
Pico de Liquidez: Um pico é identificado quando a máxima atual é a máxima mais alta no período de retrocesso e o volume atual excede o limite de volume. Isso indica uma potencial área de forte pressão de venda.
Fundo de Liquidez: Um fundo é identificado quando a mínima atual é a mínima mais baixa no período de retrocesso e o volume atual excede o limite de volume. Isso indica uma potencial área de forte pressão de compra.
Esses picos e fundos são marcados no gráfico com etiquetas e formas para fácil visualização.
Plotagem de Picos e Fundos:
Etiquetas: O script usa etiquetas para marcar picos e fundos no gráfico. Os picos são marcados com uma etiqueta vermelha e os fundos com uma etiqueta verde.
Formas: O script plota triângulos acima dos picos e abaixo dos fundos para destacar essas áreas visualmente.
Benefícios do Indicador:
Identificação de Liquidez: Ajuda os traders a identificar áreas-chave de alta liquidez, indicando forte pressão de compra ou venda.
Cues Visuais: Fornece sinais visuais claros para pontos potenciais de reversão ou continuação, auxiliando na tomada de decisões informadas.
Parâmetros Personalizáveis: Permite que os traders ajustem o comprimento de retrocesso e o limite de volume para se adequar a diferentes estratégias de negociação e condições de mercado.
Justificação da Combinação de Componentes:
Identificação de Picos e Fundos: A combinação de pontos de pivô com análise de volume fornece um método robusto para identificar áreas significativas de liquidez. Isso ajuda na detecção de potenciais reversões ou continuações de mercado.
Análise de Volume: Utilizar o volume médio e o limite de volume garante que apenas picos de volume significativos sejam considerados, aumentando a precisão dos picos e fundos identificados.
Como os Componentes Funcionam Juntos:
O script primeiro calcula o volume médio ao longo do período especificado de retrocesso.
Em seguida, verifica cada barra para ver se ela se qualifica como um pico ou fundo de liquidez com base

Market Structure with Inducements & Sweeps [LuxAlgo]The Market Structure with Inducements & Sweeps indicator is a unique take on Smart Money Concepts related market structure labels that aims to give traders a more precise interpretation considering various factors.
Compared to traditional market structure scripts that include Change of Character (CHoCH) & Break of Structures (BOS) -- this script also includes the detection of Inducements (IDM) & Sweeps which are major components of determining other structures labeled on the chart.
SMC & price action traders have historically considered this a more accurate representation of market structure by including these components.
🔶 USAGE
Below we can see a diagram for how market structure is displayed within the Market Structure with Inducements & Liquidity indicator.
Change of Characters (CHoCH) are based on swing points detection, while Break of Structures (BOS) are based on trailing maximum & minimums from the detected Change of Characters. We do this for a more dynamic & timely display of market structure.
🔹 Inducements (IDM)
Traders that consider inducements as a part of their analysis of Change of Characters & Break of Structures can more easily avoid fakeouts within trends as shown below.
In this script IDM's are always required between each market structures.
🔹 Sweeps of Liquidity (x)
SMC traders looking to properly analyze market structure need to look for sweeps of liquidity to ensure levels that are wicked are noted as sweeps, while levels that are fully closed above / below are labeled as confirmed market structures.
In the chart below we can see a Sweep of Liquidity which typically can occur on the longer term price action and indicate a potential reversal.
Notably, since labels such as CHoCH or BOS's can occur at the same level as a Sweep of liquidity, we have allowed the indicator to display the market structure label at the current bar in the event this happens.
The Sweeps of Liquidity are also based on trailing maximum / minimum, which allows for a continuous evaluation of areas for liquidity sweeps to occur.
This can be helpful for traders looking for longer term & shorter term sweeps.
🔶 SETTINGS
CHoCH Detection Period: Detection period for CHoCH's, higher values will return longer term CHoCH's.
IDM Detection Period: Detection period for IDM's, higher values will return longer term IDM's.

This all-in-one toolkit provide the user with a unique experience by automating most of the basic and advanced concepts on the chart, saving them time and improving their trading ideas.
🔹Real-time market structure analysis simplifies complex trends by pinpointing key support, resistance, and breakout levels.
🔹Advanced order block analysis leverages detailed volume data to pinpoint high-demand zones, revealing internal market sentiment and predicting potential reversals. This analysis utilizes bid/ask zones to provide supply/demand insights, empowering informed trading decisions.
🔹Imbalance Concepts (FVG and Breakers) allows traders to identify potential market weaknesses and areas where price might be attracted to fill the gap, creating opportunities for entry and exit
🔹Swing failure patterns help traders identify potential entry points and rejection zones based on price swings
🔹Liquidity Concepts, our advanced liquidity algorithm, pinpoints high-impact events, allowing you to predict market shifts, strong price reactions, and potential stop-loss hunting zones. This gives traders an edger to make informed trading decisions based on multi-timeframe liquidity dynamics

🔶 BASIC DEMONSTRATION
The preceding image illustrates the market structure functionality within the Smart Money Concepts indicator.
Solid lines: These represent the core indicator's internal structure, forming the foundation for most other components. They visually depict the overall market direction and identify major reversal points marked by significant price movements (denoted as 'x').
Dotted lines: These represent an alternative internal structure with the potential to drive more rapid market shifts. This is particularly relevant when a significant gap exists in the established swing structure, specifically between the Break of Structure (BOS) and the most recent Change of High/Low (CHoCH). Identifying these formations can offer opportunities for quicker entries and potential short-term reversals.
Sweeps (x): These signify potential turning points in the market where liquidity is removed from the structure. This suggests a possible trend reversal and presents crucial entry opportunities. Sweeps are identified within both swing and internal structures, providing valuable insights for informed trading decisions.
🔶 USAGE & EXAMPLES
The image above showcases a detailed example of several features from our toolkit that can be used in conjunction for a comprehensive analysis.
Price rejecting from the bullish order block (POC), while printing inside a bullish SFP and internal structure turning bullish (Internal CHoCH).
The image further demonstrates how two bearish order blocks could potentially act as resistance zones when prices approach those levels. These areas might also offer attractive locations to place take-profit orders.
The price has reached our first take-profit level, but is exhibiting some signs of weakness, suggesting a potential pullback which could put the trade at higher risk.
On the other hand, the price action currently exhibits strong bullish sentiment, suggesting favorable entry points and a potential upward trend.
The price has now fully reached our take-profit zone and is also exhibiting bearish confluence, indicating a potential price reversal or trend shift.
🔶 USING CONFLUENCE
The core principle behind the success of this toolkit lies in identifying "confluence." This refers to the convergence of multiple trading indicators all signaling the same information at a specific point or area. By seeking such alignment, traders can significantly enhance the likelihood of successful trades.
In the image above we can see a few examples of the indicator used in confluence with other metrics included in the toolkit.
Liquidity Prints within order blocks
SFP close to the POC
Sweep in liquidity close to a fair value gaps
These are just a few examples of what applying confluence can look like.

Normalized Global Net Liquidity + HMA Smoothed RoCThis script calculates "Global Net Liquidity" using various financial data sources, and integrates Rate of Change (RoC) visualization alongside an Equity Hull Moving Average (HMA) plot. It also features an additional "Global Liquidity" metric that is subsequently scaled and plotted.
First, several financial indicators are requested and combined to form the "Global Net Liquidity Indicator." A Rate of Change (RoC) is then calculated, and this RoC, alongside the Equity Hull Moving Average (HMA), is plotted. Next, a "Global Liquidity" measure is formed by combining various financial data.
In summary, this script involves achieving a comprehensive visualization of liquidity-related indicators and measures, providing an inclusive outlook into the nature of global liquidity trends.
The main plot is the 3 liquidity metrics averaged together and normalized then scaled between -1 and 1 for TPI scoring.
You can customize the weighting for each metric, as well as the lookback period for all 3 metrics.
-1 = Negative Trend
1 = Positive Trend
Yellow = Global Net Liquidity
Blue = RoC
Red = Equity HMA
This is insight into global liquidity, and not to be taken in anyway as trading signals. This is an analysis tool to be combined with further research.
ICT HTF MSS & Liquidity (fadi)ICT HTF MSS & Liquidity provides higher timeframe view of where the liquidity may reside and when higher timeframe market structure shift has occurred.
In his 2022 mentorship, ICT has advocated used the 15m chart to watch for liquidity and looking for lower timeframes for entry (5m,4m,3m,2m,1m).
Liquidity will reside above pivot points and ICT pivot points are based on 3 candle formation for the short term, three short term formation for intermediate, and three intermediate formation for the long terms.
