This indicator creates a table that gives you the price for the following liquidity levels:
PDO - Previous Day Open
PDH - Previous Day High
PDL - Previous Day Low
PDC - Previous Day Close
PDEQ - Equilibrium of the previous day's range. (Calculated by math.abs(((pdh-pdl)/2)+pdl))
PWH - Previous Week High
PWL - Previous Week Low
PDH2 - Two Days Back High
PDL2 - Two Days Back Low
PDH3 - Three Days Back High
PDL3 - Three Days Back Low
And gives you the opening price for the following times:

Donchian Trend SignalsThe Donchian Trend Signals is an indicator developed to help traders identify the current trend direction and potential liquidity grabs.
The usage of the indicator is very simple, on the chart you'll see a modified version of the classic and popular Donchian channel, calculated using the closing prices, that changes the color of the average middle line to indicate the direction of the current trend. The indicator also colors the candlestick.
Using the option "Complex Mode" will give your indicator additional data by changing the calculation method. These changes make the lines become the average between different lengths of the same Donchian channel formula.
Additionally, the indicator plots on the chart some buy or sell signals, displayed as diamonds above or below the candles. The signals are calculated to find potential liquidity grabs using the wicks, the true range of the candles, and the volume compared to his average value.
Brutal scalps [Sublime Traders]The "Brutal Scalps" indicator is designed for both novice and expert traders looking to take advantage of short-term price movements. This powerful tool provides a multi-timeframe trend analysis along with dynamic Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) levels, enhancing your trading decisions and risk management.
Features:
Multi-Timeframe Trend Analysis - You get a bird's eye view of the main oscillators on the selected timeframe
Last trade panel - Overview of the last trade values: TPs, SL and entry along with a quick stat on the performance over the last 10 trades
Baseline - MA based on either volatility or volume . Changes color depending on the angle and the consolidation area threshold that can be modified.
ATR(Average True Range) dynamic take profits and stop losses
Trend color - Can be enabled to highlight local trend start and end
Leverage setting
This setting is used to send a leverage amount with your alerts, this can be useful if you send your alerts though webhooks.
Signalling type - Classic
The original Brutal scalps signal detection mechanism based on order block/ engulfing candle detection only. Conditions in the MTF trend analysis panel must be met.
Signalling type - Breakout
Prioritizes candle formation that break a given number of candle formation(Eg. Highest high in the last x candles) , combined with the baseline entry condition
Signalling type - Trend following
Angled more towards longer direction moves. Uses adx combined with the price relationship to the 200MA
Key levels zone- Plots the liquidity pockets on the chart
Swing detections- uses moving averages that are plotted in regards to the selected number of candles.
Candle colors - The yellow candles are bullish engulfing candles, while the purple candles are bearish engulfing candles. These candles are also highlighted because their volume exceeds that of the previous 10 candles.
Peak profit - shows a label that displays the highest profit level reached after the signal was triggered , multiplied by the leverage in the input.
How to use:
Brutal Scalps is like your battle plan, you prepare for facing the markets with tools and insights.
1. Use the Multi TF Trend settings to set up the Trend Table in the top right (default position) panel. This will give you an overview of the oscillators in the selected timeframe. You should always watch a higher timeframe than the one you are using on the chart.
Ex.: If you are charting 15m , use the 1hr setting on the trend panel.
2. The baseline is one of the key factors in signal identification, use this wisely. The baseline consolidation threshold is the sensitivity of the line to stagnating candles. If the market is static and no trades come out , it might be because the threshold is set too high. The default of 3 should be a good fit for most setups. Just bare in mind that the higher the threshold the more candles will be considered as a consolidation area. Higher threshold also means better confirmation but also less trades coming in.
3. Signalling types can and should be used in regards to the current market formation.
Examples:
- If a market is moving in a stairs pattern, a good way to tackle it would be through the breakout signalling type.
- When the market is clearly trending, the use of the trend following type is most suited.
- If you want an all-rounder setup that is a jack of all trades but master of nothing, then the Classic type would be the most suited.
Additionally, if the market is extremely undecided and the above types don't perform that well on their own, the use of Allow Opposite Signal Only can reduce losses by only posting trades that are in the opposite direction, no more consecutive buys or sells.
Set the key levels zones to have extra manual confirmation. These zones are based on order blocks and highlight important liquidity areas. While these don't have any direct impact on the signal recognition, they can help to visually validate them.
itradesize /\ Model x RTH Gap
I’m happy to announce my model and sharing it with you as an indicator.
About the model
The model is based on a range from 18:00 until 1:30. If you are keen you probably know that it's something that based on a bit of Daye's Theory. As Daily Q4 is from 18:00 until 0:00 and I've added a 90's Q1 to it as well that's why it ended up at 1:30.
It's an accumulation range and where we are looking for some opportunities above or below it when the algo is trying to fake the traders as the high and the low of the range are both important zones for liquidity pools. This model works on almost every pair but I've been mostly focusing on indices, especially on ES, NQ, and EUR/USD.
Do not trade before 1:30 AM and do not trade this model after 6:00 AM. So any tradable setup must be valid until 6:00 AM.
*All the mentioned times are based on America/NewYork timezone.
A simple sell setup
∆ If it takes the high of the model, then look for short opportunities.
∆ The best reliable scenario is when a high is taken while retracing back to an HTF PD Array so it will end up in a failure swing, Judas swing, you name it.
∆ When a high is taken you should wait for a market structure shift then it should give a nice displacement where it should retrace.
∆ The imbalance after the shift can be on every timeframe, based on your trade idea.
∆ If there are more imbalances, your decision on which to go with (as if there is a BPR, Breaker, OB, etc.. - can change the view of an FVG).
The same story goes for a buy setup.
∆ The first target is always the EQ of the model's range.
∆ The second target could be liquidity inside the EQ and the other side of the model (optional).
∆ The third target is the other side of the model.
∆ You can always leave a runner there if you eyeing some levels outside the model.
Additional information
∆ You can use silver bullet range as an extra confirmation when you looking for the actual displacement.
∆ An RTH range is also added to the indicator (starts drawing at 9:30 when the futures market opens) as it can be used to trade in the NY session and it is a must-have thing when trading indices.
∆ The colors of every label are switched automatically based on your chart's coloring.
Because Wicks Dont Lie" Because Wicks Don't Lie " is a specialized indicator designed to assist traders in identifying and visualizing significant candle wicks on any timeframe. Wicks, often referred to as Liquidity Targets, are areas that almost always get filled by price at some point. They can help map out the trajectory of price movement, acting as a magnet, drawing the price towards them. Recognizing these wicks can provide invaluable insights into potential trading opportunities and market sentiment.
We are looking for Candles with LONG Wick and TINY Candle Body! Only those types of Wicks have (according to my experience and backtesting) a 100% chance to get filled in the future.
Features:
Wick Visualization:
The script highlights significant bullish (blue) and bearish (red) wicks that meet specific criteria, helping you quickly spot potential trading opportunities.
VWAP Bands for Filtering Extremes:
The VWAP bands are incorporated to filter out wicks created at extreme price points. By ensuring that wicks are within a user-defined percentage of the VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price), traders can avoid targeting extreme wicks that might take a longer time to get filled, thus enhancing the efficacy of strategies that trade towards wicks.
Alerts:
Traders can set alerts for when a significant bullish or bearish wick is detected, ensuring they never miss potential setups.
Usage:
Once applied to your chart, the script will automatically scan for significant wicks and display them with blue (bullish) and red (bearish) markers. By adjusting the script settings, users can customize the VWAP band percentage to fine-tune the filtering of extreme wicks.
Conclusion:
Wicks often contain valuable information about market sentiment, rejection of price levels, and potential future price direction. By acting as liquidity targets, they serve as indications of where the price is likely to move. "Because Wicks Don't Lie" simplifies the process of identifying these crucial candle formations and, with the inclusion of the VWAP bands, ensures that traders can prioritize the most actionable wicks while avoiding extreme outliers.
Input Fields:
Average Candle Size Multiplier:
This parameter allows users to adjust the base size of what the script considers as a significant wick. By multiplying the average size of candles over the last 4998 bars, users can fine-tune the script to detect only wicks of a certain prominence. A higher value will mean that only larger wicks (relative to recent price action) will be considered significant.
Wick Ratio (Wick Proportion Threshold):
This ratio helps determine the proportion of the wick to the entire candle for it to be considered significant. A higher ratio means that the wick must be a larger part of the total candle size to be marked as significant. It's an essential parameter to differentiate between candles with tiny wicks and those with substantial wicks which might offer trading opportunities.
SMC Indicator With WebhookThis indicator includes
- Liquidity sweeps
- FVG
- MSS
- Sessions
The alert system is set up for Discord webhooks. Discord webhook can be set up by creating a webhook in your Discord server then pasting the webhook url into the webhook url input box for the alert you create on the indicator.
You can create different alerts for different timeframes and symbols. E.g. HTF liquidity sweeps and LTF MSS.
Rug Pull DetectorOverview
Have you ever wondered why tickers have such erratic movements that seemingly come from nowhere? These "rug pull" events happen quite often and can catch even the most seasoned traders off-guard.
Unlike most other indicators which rely on historical data to make inferences about future price movements, the Rug Pull Detector (RPD) enables you to take a glimpse into market makers' delta-neutral hedging in real-time.
Market makers by nature must be delta-neutral which means that they cannot position themselves to profit from providing liquidity (either long or short). Liquidity provided to the short or long side must end up in a stock purchase or sale to neutralize the trade.
Volatile movements in a ticker's price movement most often result directly after a period of extremely low volatility. These volatile movements are very often "rug pulled" which ends up reverting the ticker back to the price at which the event first occurred. RPD shows these events in real-time. This knowledge can be used to help determine the most probable near-future direction a ticker will gravitate towards after a rug pull event occurs.
Usage
RPD works on any ticker and on any timeframe and can be used as a tool in determining an exit price for a trade. Vertical shading on the chart indicates a warning signal that a rug pull event may be about to kick-off. Once a rug pull event has occurred and is confirmed, a blue label will appear on the chart with a price. A line is then drawn from the bar at which the event occurred and is extended to each subsequent bar until the price is reached once more; thus concluding the event. Furthermore, red or green shading will be present to easily visually identify rug pull events on the chart and whether they are risks to the downside (red) or upside (green). RPD is broken down into 2 main types of events:
Active Event - These events are characterized by a red or green shading and a blue price line.
Dormant Event - These events do not have shading but are still identifiable via a blue price line. Active events that are superseded by newer events will become dormant.
Active events tend to have a higher chance to return to the initial price point and tend to arrive there quicker.
Dormant events have a slightly lower chance to return to the initial price point and may take longer to arrive there.
Please note:
This indicator has no way of telling the exact amount of time that will pass before the ticker returns to the identified price; however, in more cases than not - the ticker will return to that price within a reasonable amount of time relative to the timeframe you are viewing.
There is a small chance any single event will never conclude. These are anomalies and do occur on occasion.
Using RPD alongside tools such as the RSI, Anchored VWAP, or other trend-based indicators will help determine when the ticker's price might be about to pivot and head back towards the identified price point.

Chapter 1: Understanding Market Structure
1.1 Market Structure Defined:
- Market structure forms the bedrock upon which successful trading strategies are constructed. It encompasses the highs, lows, and significant price levels that shape a market's behavior. Structure Mapping v3.0 provides a clear visualization of market structure, enabling traders to identify crucial support and resistance levels.
1.2 The Power of Structural Analysis:
- Structural analysis is a pivotal component of this indicator. By recognizing the fundamental elements of market structure, traders can make informed decisions regarding trend direction, potential reversals, and optimal entry and exit points.
1.3 Rules for Structure Mapping:
Let's explore some key definitions:
- Inside bars: These are candles that exist within the range of a preceding candle.
- 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.
2.2 Identifying Demand and Supply Zones:
A Demand or Supply zone is the first candle of a pullback that leaves a Fair value gap.

[AlbaTherium] Structure Mapping & Order Blocks Advanced - Beta An Insight into Structure Mapping and Order Block Identification with Smart Money Concepts
Introduction:
Structure Mapping & Order Blocks Advanced - Beta serves as a fundamental pillar in the realm of Smart Money Concepts . This indicator adeptly charts the market structure based on a refined version of SMC while identifying Order Blocks. All the concepts embedded in this method are meticulously defined, offering users the ability to chart the market structure with heightened confidence. With this indicator, there is no need for excessive questioning of the accuracy of your markings; it diligently strives to perform this task effectively. There are no hidden 'magic' properties underlying this indicator, ensuring that our users can independently verify each and every feature. It is this commitment to transparency that sets us apart and makes us unique in the market.
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 largely disregards all the SMT s and responds favorably to the Extreme OB . This presents a promising trading opportunity, with a stop loss placed below the OB and a take profit set at the fill of the Fair value gap.
Conclusion:
Structure Mapping & Order Blocks Advanced - Beta embodies the essence of Smart Money Concepts , serving as a powerful tool for traders. This indicator effectively combines the elements of structure mapping and Order Blocks to guide trading decisions. By comprehending the dynamics of Impulsive Moves and Corrections, distinguishing between Bearish and Bullish Order Flow, and mastering the identification and trading of Order Blocks while considering SMART MONEY TRAP, traders can gain a competitive edge in the dynamic landscape of financial markets.
This document serves as a comprehensive guide to Structure Mapping & Order Blocks Advanced - Beta, highlighting its significance within the Smart Money Concepts framework. It is essential to apply these concepts judiciously to enhance trading.
TrendLine CrossThis indicator "TrendLine Cross", is designed to plot trend lines so you can spot potential trend reversal points on the charts. The main function is to draw several lines on the chart and identify the crossings between these lines, which can be significant indicators for trading. The lines are based on different periods which can be changed in the settings tabs.
Let's see the characteristics of the trend lines:
_Low Line Color(Green Line): This line connects the lowest point of low prices in the "low_time" period with the lowest point of low prices in the "high_time" period. Indicates a possible short-term support level on the chart.
_Liquidity Up Line Color (Golden Line): This line connects the lowest point of low prices in the "low_time" period with the highest point of low prices in the same period. It represents a liquidity zone and an important resistance in the chart.
_Lower Line Color (Blue Line): This horizontal line connects the lowest point of low prices in the "LowerLine_period" with the lowest point of low prices in the "high_time" period. Indicates a possible long-term support level.
_Upper Line Colorr: This line represents a connection between the highest points of the "high_time" period and the lowest point of the "LowerLine_period". Indicates a possible long-term resistance level.
_Up Line Color (Red Line): This line connects the highest point of high prices in the "high_time" period with the highest point of high prices in the "LowerLine_period". It represents a possible long-term resistance level.
_Liquidity Down Line Color(Golden Line): This line connects the highest point of high prices in the "high_time" period with the highest point of low prices in the "low_time" period. It represents a liquidity point and an important support zone.
The indicator becomes particularly interesting when the lines make crossings. These crossovers could suggest a potential trend change in the market. For example:
Change from Bearish to Bullish: If the "long-term" line (black) crosses the "short- or long-term" line (green or blue) from top to bottom, it could indicate a shift from a bearish to a bullish market , suggesting the opportunity for long positions.
_Changing from Bullish to Bearish: If the "long-term" line (blue) crosses the "short-term" line (red or black) from bottom to top, it could indicate a shift from a bullish to a bearish market, suggesting the opportunity for short positions.
Generally speaking, crossings between these lines can be key points of interest for traders, as they can signal significant changes in price direction.
Global Central Banks Balance Sheet USD-AdjustedSumming up central banks balance sheet of:
US , China, EU, Japan, UK,
Swiss, Australia, Canada, Norway
Brazil, Russia, India, Mexico, Indonesia
Taiwan, HK, Korea, SG, Thailand
Then adjusting it to USD as the common denominator for comparison.
Net Foreign Assets (or foreign reserves) + Net Domestic Assets (or domestic credit, usually Money Supply M1) = Total Assets of the Central Bank Balance Sheet
In some way, the central bank balance sheet could be M2. However, I find some of the indicators don't add up and I don't have the time to check them out. This indicator is just a proxy. The issue with using central bank balance sheet to determine liquidity in the system is that it doesn't account for 1) collateral used for liquidity management in the public and private system, 2) shadow-banking financial system. As usual, US + EU + Japan publishes their data every weekly and the rest of the central banks publish monthly. I have removed any country with hard-pegged currencies except HK.

World Class SMC [WinWorld]This indicator uses valid pullbacks in order to draw market structure with strict accordance to TradingHub strategy.
Features
Our indicator uses a number of price concepts, such as:
IDM
BoS & ChoCh ( also their sweeps )
Automatic resolving of ChoCh-IDM and IDM-BoS conflicts
Orderblocks (IDM, Extreme)
True Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
True PDH/PDL
SCOB pattern
One of the core features is the ability to choose a time point, from which the market structure will be drawn. This feature alone allows you to test your most desired hypotheses about the market movements within a few clicks, so no more guesses and "what if"s, because you get the opportunity to test everything yourself and right now.
Settings
Let's review the settings themselves:
Extended Structure: allows you to choose between drawing market structure for a whole timeline or from specific time point only;
Build OB by sweeps: allows you to only draw orderblocks from candle, which took liquidity from previous candle by sweep;
Structure colours & text: allows you to customise visuals representations of market structure elements on your chart;
Structure visuals: allows you to choose which elements of market structure you want / don't want to see on your chart;
Show trend: allows you to choose the way market structure trend will be displayed on your chart: divider or background colouring ;
Alerts for each and every event , whether it is a new BoS, ChoCh, orderblock and etc.
Usage Examples
IDM Orderblock ( OB-IDM )
Basic demonstration
When price reaches OB-IDM, you will be able to receive an alert. After that, check if the candle, that reached OB-IDM, closed inside or above ( bearish scenario )/ below ( bullish scenario ) OB-IDM's boundaries. If conditions above were met, go on LTF and look for an entry.
Extreme Orderblock ( OB-EXT )
Basic demonstration
Similar to OB-IDM situation: When price reaches OB-EXT, you will be able to receive an alert. After that, check if the candle, that reached OB-EXT, closed inside or above ( bearish scenario )/ below ( bullish scenario ) OB-EXT's boundaries. If conditions above were met, go on LTF and look for an entry.
Sweep PDH/PDL
Basic demonstration
* PDH — Previous Day High
* PDL — Previous Day Low
When you received PDH sweep alert and current trend is bearish, go on LTF to find entry point. ( bullish scenario: PDL sweep and current trend is bullish )
Sweep ChoCh
Basic demonstration
If you get alert of sweeped ChoCh, it usually means that price grabbed the liquidity from extremum points and is ready to continue going with the trend. Go on LTF to find an entry.
AIOI Lite By TradeINskiAll In One Indicator Lite - AIOI Lite By TradeINski
First thing first
This indicator is inspired from @DrMansi Trade Template and Derived from AIOI By @TradeINski
This indicator is best suited for momentum traders/swing traders people who basically trade on Daily time frame as the primary timeframe.
Contents of the Indicator
Show Average True Range Line
4 Moving Average
Technical Metrics
Industry & Sector
Gap Up & Gap Down Zone
Big Day - Up & Down
VWAP
Show Average True Range line.
Purple horizontal line that you see on the chart is nothing but high of the day - Average true range value over a specified period (ATR) line of the stock. I use it for trailing my stop loss once my position is made. My Interpretation is once the stock is moved in your favor, the %change after that which is more than ATR should come in your desired direction or trade is going against me.
Here The average true range (ATR) is a technical analysis indicator introduced by market technician J. Welles Wilder Jr. in his book New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems that measures market volatility by decomposing the entire range of an asset price for that period.
Chart-formations. "J. Welles Wilder, Jr."
The true range indicator is taken as the greatest of the following: current high less the current low; the absolute value of the current high less the previous close; and the absolute value of the current low less the previous close.
Line plotted Logic: high of the day - 20 day ATR.
{Input}
User have option to Show/Hide the line with "Check Mark"
{Style}
Users have the option to change color of the line and also thickness respectively.
1. 4 Moving Averages
Plots 4 moving averages with different periods and colors. MA#1, MA#2, MA#3 and MA#4 are respective moving averages. I use these moving average lines to determine the trend of the stock, that is 10 and 20 period EMA for short term trend and 50 Ema for medium trend and 200 period EMA for long term trend of a ticker.
{Inputs}
Users have the option to choose the type of MA that is between SMA & EMA.
Also have the option to enter a period as their preference.
{Style}
Users have the option to Show/Hide Specific MA with the help of “Check Mark”.
Color of all MA can be changed individually. Also line thickness and transparency.
2. Technical Metrics
MCAP - Market Capitalization
Market capitalization of a ticker in dollar terms. I use this Market Cap to define liquidity means bigger the MCAP more liquid the stock is and also know the size of the company. And also bigger the MCAP usually percentage move of swings in this is less compared to mid & small MCAP stocks.
{Inputs}
Users have the option to Show/Hide the cell from the table with “Check Mark”.
ADT - Average Dollar Turnover
This also helps me determine liquidity and use this while sizing.
For example I want to make a position of 1000$ and stock ADT is 100K $ that means my contribution to stock is 1% of the average dollar turnover. When I am trading, I keep a general rule that my contribution should be less than 0.25% of the average dollar turnover so that getting in and getting out of the stock will not be a problem.
Logic: Average volume over a period of time * Price of the stock
{Inputs}
Users have the option to Show/Hide the cell from the table with “Check Mark”.
Users have the option to enter a period. Default is “20” Days.
RVOL - Relative Volume
This helps in the live market that if RVOL is 10% to 20% or more in the first 30 mins of opening bell then it is interpreted as there is unusual volume activity in this stock, something is cooking. This comes after a lot of observation. When stock moves abruptly it's seen that there will be volume pick in the stock from the start of the day. Therefore Relative percentage volume helps in this way.
Logic: Today's volume with respect to average volume over a specified period in percentage is relative volume.
{Inputs}
Users have the option to Show/Hide the cell from the table with “Check Mark”.
Users have the option to enter a period. Default is “20” Days.
ADR - Average Daily Range
This helps to determine what's the average daily %change over the specified period of time & what %change we can expect from a ticker on a specific day as I am a momentum trader so prefer high ADR stocks. Generally Blue chip stocks have less ADR compared to mid and small cap stocks.
Logic: Calculation is based on High and low of the day that is in percentage over a specified period of days.
{Inputs}
Users have the option to Show/Hide the cell from the table with “Check Mark”.
Users have the option to enter a period. Default is “20” Days.
SLL - Stop Loss Level
This helps me in the live market as per my strategy. I generally keep my stop loss Low of the day so when creating position, I will know what will be the percentage Stop loss and also helps in knowing what is the percentage move from low of the day today. Mind you this does not consider the gap that is yesterday's close for calculation.
Logic: Percentage change from low of the day.

Size - Users can change text size as per their preference. Default size is “Auto”.
Display - Users have two options
Text - Shows Complete cell that is Text plus Value

3. Industry & Sector
Plots Industry and Sector of a ticker on DTF. This helps me to determine from which industry or sector the stock belongs to at a glance. As there are so many stocks listed we can't categorize to which sector and industry it belongs to just by the name of the company. To have an idea in which domain the company operates.

Position - Users can change location as per their preference. Default position is “Bottom Centre”.
Size - Users can change text size as per their preference. Default size is “Auto”.
4. Gap Up & Gap Down Zone
This helps me visually, if a stock is gaping up or down on a daily time frame and I don't want to know every gap in the stock I want to focus on significant gaps so 1% makes sense let it be up or down. When Gap Up color is green and Gap down color is Red.
Logic: Whenever the gap is more than 1% up or down then the background on that specific day is colored lime for gap Up and color fuchsia for gap down down.

Users can Show/Hide this feature using “Check Mark”.
Users have the option to change background color and its transparency individually mind you Color 0 is for GapUp and Color 1 is for GapDown.
5. Big Day - Up & Down
This helps me determine unusual activity of a stock that is Why ADR - Average Daily Range and Volume of a stock is considered. If a stock moves 2 times the ADR which is not usual and also if we see significant change in volume then I believe stock is saying something let it be Upward or downward.
For visually appealing for unusual up move the body of the color is lime and for unusual downward move color is fuchsia.
Logic: On a given specific day if volume is two times the average 20 day period volume and percentage change of the specific day is two times the average daily range percentage that is ADR then those days are considered to be Big Up Day and for Big Down Day vise versa.

Users have the option to change color of the body and its transparency individually mind you Color 0 is for Big Up Day and Color 1 is for Big Down Day.
6. VWAP
Plots default VWAP in house indicator only in a lower time frame that is less than DTF. This helps me after making a position in the stock that is 15 Min. TF. Basic idea is that stock should stay above Vwap after entry. As Vwap considers volumes in calculation, in the Lower timeframe we will know if the stock is holding up and moving in desired direction.
{Style}
Users have Option to Show/Hide as per their preference.
Users change the color, thickness and transparency of the line.
Note:
This indicator will never give direct buy sell signals and never should be used in isolation.
ICT True Day Range [MK]The indicator displays the following:
Vertical line day separator from 00:00 to 00:00 EST
High/Low lines for the days true range from 00:00 to EOD
Opening line from 00:00 EST to EOD
Opening line from 08:30 EST to EOD
Weekly Opening line from Sunday open at 18:00 EST to last bar in the week
Monday range high/low/mid line, which can be extended to EOW
Text displaying Days of the Week
All functions can be fully customized regarding color/style and line width.
Below shows image of indicator with day separator: (it didn't show on the main chart despite being enabled?)
All of the above are to be used to give the user all the tools necessary to analyze the following concepts which can be studied on ICTs you tube channel:
Weekly profile, eg, has the weekly manipulated below the weekly open to then rise the rest of the week?
Daily profile, eg, has the day manipulated below the daily open (00:00 EST) to then rise the rest of the day?
Daily liquidity grab, eg has the current day taken PDH/PDL at the start of the current day?
Daily targets, eg will the current day end up taking liquidity from the PDH/PDL?
Monday range, will Mondays high/low range act as the accumulation phase of the weekly AMD profile?
Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday/Friday reversal, eg, does a day of the week line up with a HTF target and a high volatility news event which could see price reverse after the manipulation phase of the weekly AMD profile?
In strong trending markets, will the 0830 open line be used in the NY session as manipulation reference in the same manner as the 00:00 line is normally used?
The above examples of how the indicator 'could' be used are not the only ways to use the indicator.
The indicator is by no means a trading strategy on its own. Users should be fully aware of ICT concepts and have performed extensive back-testing before using the indicator with live accounts.
Forecast by ScanYourStratOverview :
This indicator scans historical price data and focus on 3 main characteristics:
1. Momentum of the move
2. Volume changes
3. Proprietary candle scoring system (a scoring based on the candles open and close, wicks and color of the candle)
After it analyzes the above 3 characteristics, it will find the pattern most closely to each one and will make an average Forecast which is the result you see on the chart. They can be all 3 in the same area or across historical data. The length of the price range that you want to analyze is user dependent, based on the Bar calculation length (see below on settings), and then will take the price movements that followed each of the 3 characteristics and It will project it into the future to provide potential price actions as an average forecast. As we all know, certain patterns and sequences, do repeat in the market. From these patterns we can try to forecast what will be the response based on previous data. The closer the past values to the historical data, the more likely the price will continue to move according to the same rules.
How it works :
Once you have set the Bar calculation length and the Forecast length, it will find the closest pattern that fulfills all 3 characteristics as above (either together or separate). Meaning, if you want to look at the last 10 candle bars on the current timeframe, the algorithm will find the pattern that resembles closest in momentum, volume, and candles scores to bring the forecast based on the movement that happened after those 10 candles (average of all 3). For the length of the forecast, you can choose how far into the future you want to look for.
Calculations :
The indicator works by scanning historical price data for the 3 characteristics above, and then forecast based on previous patterns. It uses mainly Pearson correlation calculation, but also, we have included Spearmen and cosine similarity equations to calculate different ways depending on the style of the trader. Essentially, the indicator takes the historical price moves that followed the pattern to forecast what might happen next. It will be an average of all 3 characteristics.
Potential Pitfalls :
This comes with certain problems, choose a pattern to small and you will have too many variables, choose a pattern too long and could limit the results that may not be statistically significant. Each person is encouraged to test depending on the timeframe that you trade. As you change the number of candles and calculations, it will change the forecast path.
How to use :
Each new candle will give you a forecast that may be new or consistent with previous candles. You cannot rely solely on this indicator as no indicator is 100%. Best strategy to work, is to already have some type of zone for demand or supply, or expansion zones or liquidity zones and use this indicator in conjunction to it. This indicator has been tested mainly on the 1 hour but will work on any timeframe. Best settings so far are with Pearson calculation and a length of 12 bars. The forecast line should not be used as an exact replica but more as a trend whether going up or down. The targets although sometimes close, the trader is not encouraged to use the line targets as their entry or stops but more using the above zones to help for those. In addition, the trader can use the option to average the last few candles forecast to see if the movement is consistent as well.
Settings :
- Bar calculation length : will be the X number of candles that the script will look in historical data that resembles the most. (Example chose 3 candles or 10, or 20)
- Forecast length : how many X number of candles that the script will look forward (forecast).
- Average forecast color : you can change the color of the forecast line.
- Multi bar forecast : is a way to bring the previous forecast lines from past candles to see if there is a pattern without having to use the bar replay, the more you candles you choose, the more lines will be available but at the same time making it harder to see.
- Average all on end bar : if you want to average all the forecast lines into one. You can choose the amount of candles that you want to average based on the multi bar forecast.
Disclaimer :
This is still an indicator that is being tested and in no way should be used alone. Currently will be in closed beta to find bugs and to work on accuracy.

Quarterly Cycles [Daye's Theory]This is entirely based on quarters theory by Daye (@traderdaye in Twitter). I'm merely the creator of the indicator and full credits for the underlying concept goes to Daye.
The idea is to split year, month, week and day into quarters at specific times which lead to PO3 (Accumulation-Manipulation-Distribution) cycles within those quarters.
They present in one of these two forms:
Q1. (A)ccumulation - Consolidation
Q2. (M)anipulation - Judas Swing
Q3. (D)istribution - Low Resistance Liquidity Run
Q4. (X) - Continuation/Reversal of previous quarter
(OR)
Q1. (X) - Continuation/Reversal of previous quarter
Q2. (A)ccumulation - Consolidation
Q3. (M)anipulation - Judas Swing
Q4. (D)istribution - Low Resistance Liquidity Run
As of now, the indicator assumes everything as AMDX, but if some clever idea comes in the future, I'll try to implement XAMD as well.
Similar to True Day Opens, there are True Monthly Opens, True Weekly Opens and True Session Opens, all of which form during the second quarters of those periods, all of which are marked by the indicator. For timeframes in H1 and below, the indicator shows weekly, daily and session quarter cycle phases. For higher timeframes, it shows yearly, monthly and weekly cycle phases.
