Ultimate_Price_Action_Tool_V2 by chaitu50cUltimate_Price_Action_Tool_V2 by chaitu50c — Session-Based SR Box Engine
This indicator builds clean, session-aware support and resistance “zones” from pure price action. It is designed for intraday and positional traders who want objective, rule-based zones instead of manual drawing.
Core Logic
Price-action based MAIN zones
Detects bullish and bearish breakouts using a strict body-structure:
Single-candle and double-candle breakout patterns.
Breakouts are confirmed only when closes break beyond previous highs/lows.
From each valid breakout, the tool builds a MAIN Support or MAIN Resistance box:
For bullish breaks, the zone is created from a combined low to the nearest open/close in the breakout combo.
For bearish breaks, the zone is created from a combined high to the nearest open/close in the breakout combo.
Optional first-box logic:
Can create the very first MAIN zone in a session from a simple opposite-color pair (without a full breakout), if enabled.
SUB zones on break
When price breaks a MAIN Support downwards with a red candle, the MAIN box is removed/frozen and:
A new SUB Resistance box is created above, using the current bar’s structure.
When price breaks a MAIN Resistance upwards with a green candle:
A new SUB Support box is created below.
SUB zones are optional and can be fully disabled if the user prefers a clean MAIN-only view.
Session Handling
The script is fully session-aware and can work in different market structures:
Session Mode options
Clock Session
Uses a fixed time window (e.g., 09:15–15:30).
Zones can be shown only inside the session or kept visible outside, depending on settings.
New Day
Each new trading day is treated as a fresh session.
Auto Gap
A new session starts whenever the time gap between candles exceeds a user-defined threshold (in minutes).
Session IDs and history
Each new session gets its own ID.
You can display zones for the last N sessions (including current).
Older sessions fade out visually but remain internally tracked to control visibility.
Main Features & Options
Initial Right Offset
Every new zone is projected to the right by a configurable number of bars.
All active boxes continuously extend with this offset, keeping zones clearly projected into the future.
Single MAIN per side (per session)
Optional constraint to have only:
One active MAIN Support and
One active MAIN Resistance
per session on the chart.
This prevents overcrowding and focuses on the most recent key structure.
MAIN vs SUB Overlap Control
When a new MAIN zone overlaps an existing SUB zone, you can choose:
Suppress MAIN (ignore the new MAIN if it clashes with a SUB),
Remove SUB (delete overlapping SUB zones and keep the new MAIN), or
Allow Both (plot everything and let the trader decide).
Vertical overlap is evaluated using a configurable minimum overlap percentage.
SUB suppression under MAIN
SUB boxes that overlap strongly with active MAIN zones can be auto-suppressed to avoid redundant clutter.
This suppression uses the same percent-based overlap logic.
Broken MAIN box handling
When a MAIN zone is broken:
Option 1: Fully delete it (classic behavior).
Option 2: Convert it into a 1-bar “marker” box at its origin, so you still see where the original zone formed without extending into the future.
Break candle coloring
The candle that breaks a MAIN zone can be optionally painted:
Red when breaking support.
Green when breaking resistance.
Helps visually confirm genuine breaks vs. simple intrabar tests.
Visual & Styling Controls
Separate style controls for:
MAIN Support / MAIN Resistance
Independent fill and border colors.
SUB Support / SUB Resistance
Independent fill and border colors.
Opacity and border colors are internally managed so that:
Recent sessions are clearly visible.
Older sessions are softly faded to maintain context without noise.
Typical Use Cases
Intraday traders looking for:
Clean, rule-based supply and demand zones.
Zones that respect actual session structure (clock, daily, or gap-based).
Swing traders who:
Want to track how current price reacts to the most recent 1–N sessions’ zones.
Price action traders who:
Prefer breakout-based zones rather than indicator-driven levels.
Need automatic zone management (creation, extension, break handling, and suppression).
This tool is built to be modular and configurable: you can run it minimal (only MAIN zones, single side per session) or fully featured (MAIN + SUB, multi-session history, overlap handling, and break paints). All logic is strictly price-action based with no dependency on volume or external indicators.

## 📋 WHY YM? LEVERAGING LOW VOLATILITY
### The YM Advantage
Most traders avoid YM because "it doesn't move enough." This is precisely why it's perfect for precision scalping:
| Factor | NQ | YM | Advantage |
|--------|----|----|-----------|
| **Daily Range** | 300-600 pts | 150-400 pts | More predictable moves |
| **Tick Value** | $5/tick (4 ticks/pt) | $5/tick (1 tick/pt) | Simpler math |
| **Retail Noise** | High | Low | Cleaner signals |
| **Whipsaws** | Frequent | Rare | Fewer fakeouts |
| **Trend Persistence** | Short | Long | Easier holds |
| **Fill Quality** | Variable | Consistent | Better execution |
### Why 3-7 Trades is the Sweet Spot
```
YM SESSION BREAKDOWN:
════════════════════
LONDON (3-5 AM ET): 1-2 trades
├── Why: European institutions positioning for US open
├── Character: Slow build-up, clean trends
└── Best signals: Zone entries + A/B tier
NY OPEN (9:30-11:30 AM ET): 2-3 trades
├── Why: Highest volume, most institutional activity
├── Character: Initial balance formation, breakouts
└── Best signals: S/A tier, zone confluence
POWER HOUR (3-4 PM ET): 1-2 trades
├── Why: End-of-day rebalancing, MOC orders
├── Character: Mean reversion or trend acceleration
└── Best signals: Zone entries, B tier quick scalps
TOTAL: 4-7 high-quality setups per day
```

## 🔧 YM-SPECIFIC OPTIMIZATIONS
This unified indicator has been specifically tuned for YM's characteristics:
### Tier Thresholds
| Tier | NQ (Original) | YM (Optimized) | Rationale |
|------|---------------|----------------|-----------|
| S-Tier | 100 pts | **50 pts** | YM's daily range is ~50% of NQ |
| A-Tier | 50 pts | **25 pts** | Proportional scaling |
| B-Tier | 20 pts | **12 pts** | Still 5%+ of typical daily range |
### Filter Adjustments
| Filter | NQ Value | YM Value | Why |
|--------|----------|----------|-----|
| Volume Ratio | 1.5x | **1.8x** | Higher bar = less retail noise |
| Delta Threshold | 60% | **62%** | Tighter for cleaner signals |
| Body Ratio | 70% | **72%** | More conviction required |
| Range Multiplier | 1.3x | **1.4x** | Bigger move = real signal |
| Gap ATR% | 30% | **25%** | Smaller gaps still significant |
| Zone Age | 50 bars | **75 bars** | Zones last longer in slow market |
### Why These Changes Work
1. **Higher Volume Bar**: YM has more institutional flow. Requiring 1.8x volume ensures we're catching real moves, not retail chop.
2. **Tighter Delta**: With less noise, we can demand clearer buyer/seller dominance before entering.
3. **Longer Zone Life**: YM trends persist longer. A zone that would be stale in NQ is still viable in YM.
4. **Smaller Gap Threshold**: YM gaps are naturally smaller. 25% of ATR in YM is significant institutional activity.

## 📐 SIGNAL TYPES EXPLAINED
### 1. GRA Tier Signals (S🎯, A🎯, B🎯)
These are the primary signals from the merged GRA system:
```
TIER SIGNAL REQUIREMENTS:
═══════════════════════════
ALL must be TRUE:
├── ✓ Point movement meets tier threshold
├── ✓ Volume ≥ 1.8x average
├── ✓ Delta ≥ 62% (buy or sell dominance)
├── ✓ Body ≥ 72% of candle range
├── ✓ Range ≥ 1.4x average
├── ✓ Small opposite wick (<50% of body)
├── ✓ CVD confirms direction (if enabled)
├── ✓ Active session (LDN/NY/PWR)
└── ✓ Confluence Score ≥ minimum (default 5)
```
### 2. Zone Entry Signals (Z🎯)
When price enters a DeepFlow zone with confirmation:
```
ZONE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS:
═══════════════════════════
ALL must be TRUE:
├── ✓ Price inside fresh/tested zone (not broken)
├── ✓ Delta ≥ 62% in zone direction
├── ✓ Volume ≥ 1.5x average
└── ✓ Active session
NOTE: Z🎯 only appears when NOT already showing tier signal
(prevents duplicate signals on same candle)
```
### 3. Single Print Markers (SP)
Mark institutional impulse candles for future S/R:
```
SINGLE PRINT REQUIREMENTS:
═══════════════════════════
ALL must be TRUE:
├── ✓ Range ≥ 1.6x average
├── ✓ Body ≥ 72% of range
├── ✓ Volume ≥ 1.8x average
├── ✓ Delta ≥ 62% confirms direction
└── ✓ Active session
USE: Horizontal lines at high/low act as future S/R
```
---
## 🎯 TRADING STRATEGIES
### Strategy 1: Zone + Tier Confluence (Highest Probability)
```
THE ULTIMATE YM SETUP:
═══════════════════════
Setup:
1. Active DeepFlow zone exists (green box below for long)
2. Price pulls back INTO the zone
3. Tier signal fires INSIDE the zone (S🎯/A🎯)
4. Score shows 7+/10
Entry: Signal candle close
Stop: Below zone bottom (for longs)
Target: Based on tier (1.5-2.5:1 R:R)
Why It Works:
• Zone = institutional limit orders
• Tier signal = momentum confirmation
• Double confirmation = high probability
Expected Win Rate: 70-75%
```
### Strategy 2: Pure Tier Signal with POC Stop
```
SNIPER TIER TRADE:
══════════════════
Setup:
1. Tier signal appears (preferably A or S)
2. Score ≥ 5/10
3. Note POC level on signal candle
4. Red/green stop/target lines appear
Entry: Signal candle close
Stop: Beyond POC (shown on chart)
Target: Auto-calculated based on tier
Key: POC placement matters
• POC near candle bottom (longs) = STRONG
• POC in middle = weaker signal
• POC at extreme = possible exhaustion
Expected Win Rate: 60-65%
```
### Strategy 3: Zone Bounce (Continuation)
```
ZONE BOUNCE TRADE:
══════════════════
Setup:
1. Fresh zone created during session
2. Price leaves zone, moves in zone direction
3. Price returns to test zone (within 15 bars)
4. Z🎯 signal appears or rejection candle forms
Entry: At CE line (middle of zone)
Stop: Beyond zone edge
Target: Previous swing high/low
Why It Works:
• Zones represent unfilled orders
• First retest often finds support/resistance
• Lower volatility = cleaner bounces
Expected Win Rate: 55-60%
```
### Strategy 4: Single Print Scalp
```
SINGLE PRINT SCALP:
═══════════════════
Setup:
1. Single Print (SP) marker appears
2. Note the gold/purple lines at high/low
3. Wait for price to return to SP level
4. Look for rejection or tier signal at level
Entry: At SP line with confirmation
Stop: Beyond the SP line
Target: Quick 1:1 or to next structure
Why It Works:
• SP = price moved too fast, orders unfilled
• Price often returns to "fill" these levels
• YM's slower pace makes retests likely
Expected Win Rate: 55-60%
```

Ellipse Price Action Indicator v2 (Upgraded)
This upgraded Ellipse Price Action Indicator (EPAI v2) to take high-accuracy trades.
I am explaining it as if you are looking at the chart step by step, so you will understand exactly:
-When to buy
-When to
-When to avoid
-How to read Strength Meter
-How Ellipse zones work
⭐ 1. THE BASICS — What This Indicator Actually Does
This indicator tracks:
✔ The “Elliptical Path” of price
Like a planet revolving around the Sun, price “oscillates” around a center.
The indicator detects this hidden mathematical path using:
Two Focus Points (Fast MA & Slow MA)
Curved Ellipse boundaries
Compression of price
Momentum of trend
Breakout zones
⭐ 2. UNDERSTANDING THE 3 ZONES
🔴 UPPER ZONE = Sell Zone
Price is near the upper ellipse boundary → overbought space.
🟢 LOWER ZONE = Buy Zone
Price near lower ellipse boundary → oversold space.
🔵 CENTRAL ZONE = No Trade Zone
Price swinging inside the ellipse center → noise.
Only trade in UPPER or LOWER zones.
Never in the central zone.
⭐ 3. THE MOST IMPORTANT PART — Strength Meter v2
Strength Meter v2 (0 to 100%) is the core filter.
✔ Above 70% → High winning probability (take trade)
✔ 60–70% → Medium probability (trade if confident)
❌ Below 60% → Avoid trade
Strength combines:
Ellipse compression
Momentum slope
Price position curve
Eccentricity
Trend direction
This alone removes 70% bad trades.
⭐ 4. BUY SETUP (Exact Rules)
You get a BUY only if all conditions match:
① Price goes to lower ellipse zone
② Compression is ON (ellipse is tight)
③ Momentum slope direction = UP
④ Focus Lines Cross Bullish (Fast > Slow)
⑤ Strength v2 ≥ your threshold (default 60%)
⑥ A BUY signal prints (triangle UP)
When these align →
🟢 BUY with high accuracy
Best Accuracy Buy is:
Price in lower zone
Strength ≥ 0.75
Slope UP
Ellipse compressed
⭐ 5. SELL SETUP (Exact Rules)
Same logic reversed:
① Price in upper ellipse zone
② Compression ON
③ Momentum slope DOWN
④ Focus Lines cross bearish (Fast < Slow)
⑤ Strength v2 ≥ threshold
⑥ SELL signal prints (triangle DOWN)
This means:
🔴 SELL with high accuracy
Best Accuracy Sell is:
Price in upper zone
Strength ≥ 0.75
Slope DOWN
Ellipse compressed
⭐ 6. BREAKOUT TRADES (Optional but powerful)
When price breaks above/below ellipse:
🔸 Upper Breakout → SELL (if strength strong)
🔸 Lower Breakout → BUY (if strength strong)
Breakout signals are marked by orange arrows.
Breakouts are taken only if:
Strength v2 > 50%
Slope supports breakout
Compression exists before breakout
Breakout trades catch trend continuation.
⭐ 7. HOW TO CONFIRM A STRONG TRADE
Look at the table on the chart:
✔ Strength v2 ≥ 70% (GREEN)
✔ Compression = GREEN
✔ Slope direction = UP (for buy) or DOWN (for sell)
✔ Zone = LOWER or UPPER
✔ Eccentricity = LOW (<0.5 means smooth trend)
If these line up →
⭐ High-probability entry.
⭐ 8. WHEN YOU SHOULD NOT TRADE
❌ If price is in Central Zone
❌ Strength < 60
❌ No compression detected
❌ Slope is flat or against direction
❌ Only one condition is matching
❌ Eccentricity is too large
(Big ellipse = unpredictable swings)
⭐ 9. What Is the Accuracy Level?

SRD
SRD v11 - Multi-Timeframe Volume Profile (POC, VAH, VAL)
Key Features
Dual Timeframe Analysis:
📈 Main Analysis (Daily): Calculates and displays the most significant levels based on a user-defined period of daily bars. This is ideal for identifying intraday and short-term trading opportunities.
📊 Strategic Analysis (Weekly): Plots key levels from a weekly perspective, giving you a broader, long-term view of market sentiment and structure. This can be toggled on or off.
Volume Profile Core Levels: The indicator automatically calculates and visualizes the three most important levels derived from volume analysis for both timeframes:
🎯 POC (Point of Control): The price level with the highest traded volume for the specified period. It acts as a powerful magnet for price and a key reference for market equilibrium.
🔴 VAH (Value Area High): The highest price level within the "Value Area" (where ~70% of the volume was traded). It often acts as a significant resistance zone.
🟢 VAL (Value Area Low): The lowest price level within the Value Area. It often serves as a strong support zone.
🟠 24-Hour High: An optional feature that plots the highest price reached in the last 24 hours, providing a crucial reference point for breakout and reversal traders.
Dynamic and Non-Repainting: The levels are calculated based on historical confirmed bars and update automatically as new periods (daily or weekly) close. The lines extend to the right, remaining relevant until a new calculation period begins.
Integrated Alert System: Never miss a key price interaction. The indicator includes a comprehensive alert system for:
Breakouts: Triggers when the price crosses above or below the POC, VAH, or VAL.
Touches: Triggers when the price touches one of these key levels without breaking through it (within a small tolerance).
Unified Alert: A single alert that notifies you of any of the above conditions.
Customization
The SRD v11 is fully customizable to fit your trading style. You can adjust:
Timeframes: Change the base timeframes for both the main (default Daily) and strategic (default Weekly) analysis.
Analysis Periods: Define the number of bars (days or weeks) to include in the Volume Profile calculation.
Visuals: Customize the color, width, and style (solid, dashed, dotted) of every line and label for clear and intuitive visualization.
Toggle Elements: Easily show or hide the strategic (weekly) analysis and the 24-hour high line.
How to Use It >
Identify Key Zones: Use the VAH (resistance) and VAL (support) lines to identify potential entry and exit zones. The area between VAH and VAL is the "Value Area," where the market has found acceptance.
Monitor the POC: The Point of Control is the ultimate level of equilibrium. Watch for price reactions around the POC. A sustained break above or below can signal a new trend.
Combine Timeframes: Use the strategic (weekly) levels as major, long-term points of interest and the main (daily) levels for your day-to-day trading setup. Confluence between levels from different timeframes can indicate extremely strong support or resistance.
Set Alerts: Configure alerts for breakouts or touches to be notified of critical market movements in real-time, even when you are away from the charts.
Velocity Pressure Index | AlphaNattVelocity Pressure Index (VPI) | AlphaNatt
A sophisticated momentum oscillator that combines price velocity analysis with volume pressure dynamics to identify high-probability trading opportunities.
📊 KEY FEATURES
Dual Analysis System: Merges price velocity measurement with volume pressure analysis for comprehensive market momentum assessment
Dynamic Normalization: Automatically scales values between -100 and +100 for consistent readings across all market conditions
Adaptive Zones: Self-adjusting overbought/oversold levels based on recent price history
Multi-Layer Confirmation: Combines momentum, acceleration, and crossover signals for robust trade identification
Volume-Weighted Pressure: Differentiates between bullish and bearish volume to gauge true market sentiment
📈 HOW IT WORKS
The VPI calculates price velocity using linear regression of price changes, then weights this velocity by the difference between bullish and bearish volume pressure. This creates a momentum reading that accounts for both price movement speed and the volume conviction behind it.
Signal Generation:
Price velocity is measured over the specified period
Volume is separated into bullish (close > open) and bearish (close < open) pressure
Velocity is amplified or dampened based on volume pressure differential
The resulting index is normalized to oscillate between -100 and +100
A signal line smooths the oscillator for crossover detection
🎯 TRADING SIGNALS
Long Signals (Cyan #00F1FF):
Strong Bull: VPI > Signal with positive momentum and acceleration
Crossover Bull: VPI crosses above signal while above oversold zone
Divergence: Price makes lower low while VPI makes higher low
Short Signals (Magenta #FF019A):
Strong Bear: VPI < Signal with negative momentum and deceleration
Crossover Bear: VPI crosses below signal while below overbought zone
Divergence: Price makes higher high while VPI makes lower high
⚙️ CUSTOMIZABLE PARAMETERS

Enhanced Std Dev Oscillator (Z-Score)Enhanced Std Dev Oscillator (Z-Score)
Overview
The Enhanced Std Dev Oscillator (ESDO) is a refined Z-Score indicator that normalizes price deviations from a moving mean using standard deviation, smoothed for clarity and equipped with divergence detection. This oscillator shines in identifying extreme overbought/oversold conditions and potential reversals, making it ideal for mean-reversion strategies in stocks, forex, or crypto. By highlighting when prices stray too far from the norm, it helps traders avoid chasing trends and focus on high-probability pullbacks.
Key Features
Customisable Mean & Deviation: Choose SMA or EMA for the mean (default: SMA, length 14); opt for Population or Sample standard deviation for precise statistical accuracy.
Smoothing for Clarity: Apply a simple moving average (default: 3) to the raw Z-Score, reducing noise without lagging signals excessively.
Zone Highlighting: Background colours flag extreme zones—red tint above +2 (overbought), green below -2 (oversold)—for quick visual scans.
Divergence Alerts: Automatically detects bullish (price lows lower, Z-Score higher) and bearish (price highs higher, Z-Score lower) divergences using pivot points (default length: 5), with labeled shapes for easy spotting.
Built-in Alerts: Notifications for Z-Score crossovers into OB/OS zones and divergence events to keep you informed without constant monitoring.
How It Works
Core Calculation: Computes the mean (SMA/EMA) over the specified length, then standard deviation (Population or adjusted Sample formula for N>1). Z-Score = (Source - Mean) / Std Dev, handling edge cases like zero deviation.
Smoothing: Averages the Z-Score with an SMA to create a cleaner plot oscillating around zero.
Levels & Zones: Plots horizontal lines at ±1 (orange dotted) and ±2 (red dashed) for reference; backgrounds activate in extreme zones.
Divergence Logic: Scans for pivot highs/lows in price and Z-Score; flags divergences when price extremes diverge from oscillator extremes (looking back 2 pivots for confirmation).
Visualisation: Blue line for the smoothed Z-Score; green/red labels for bull/bear divergences.
Usage Tips
Buy Signal: Z-Score crosses below -2 (oversold) or bullish divergence forms—pair with volume spike for confirmation.
Sell Signal: Z-Score crosses above +2 (overbought) or bearish divergence—watch for resistance alignment.
Customisation: Use EMA mean for trendier assets; enable Sample std dev for smaller datasets. Increase pivot length (7-10) in volatile markets to filter false signals.
Timeframes: Excels on daily/4H for swing trades; test smoothing on lower frames to avoid over-smoothing. Always combine with trend filters like a 200-period MA.

Consolidation Box1. Overview & Purpose
The "Faithful Box" is a powerful TradingView indicator designed to automatically identify and visualize high-quality price consolidation zones, often known as 'trading ranges' or 'boxes'.
This tool is a direct Pine Script translation of a specific, robust Python-based analysis strategy. Its primary goal is not just to find any sideways movement, but to qualify it based on a strict set of rules, ensuring that only meaningful and tradable consolidation patterns are highlighted on the chart.
2. Core Logic: How It Works
The indicator's intelligence is based on several key rules translated from the original Python script:
Box Definition (Based on Closing Prices): The most crucial rule is how the box is defined. Unlike many tools that use candle wicks (highs and lows), this indicator establishes the Ceiling (Resistance) and the Floor (Support) of the box using the highest Close price and the lowest Close price over the specified analysis period. This provides a more stable and representative view of the true consolidation zone, ignoring outlier price spikes.
Quality Filters: A consolidation is only considered valid and drawn on the chart if it meets two strict criteria:
Minimum Touches: The price must "test" the ceiling and floor a minimum number of times. A "touch" is counted with a tolerance — the High of a candle only needs to get close to the ceiling, and the Low close to the floor. This simulates how price interacts with support and resistance zones in the real world.
Maximum Height: The consolidation range cannot be excessively wide or volatile. The box will only be drawn if its total height, as a percentage of its price, is below a user-defined limit.
3. Visual Features on the Chart
When a valid consolidation pattern is detected, the indicator draws a semi-transparent box over the analysis period. The most powerful visual feature is its dynamic coloring, which functions as a built-in alert system:
🟥 Red Box: The box turns red when the price enters the upper "Action Zone" (e.g., the top 30% of the range). This visually signals that the price is near a key resistance level, alerting the trader to a potential reversal or breakout opportunity.
🟩 Green Box: The box turns green when the price enters the lower "Action Zone" (e.g., the bottom 30% of the range). This highlights that the price is testing a key support level.
⬜ Gray Box: The box remains a neutral gray when the price is trading in the middle of the range, which can often be considered a "no-trade" or "wait-and-see" zone.
4. Configuration (Indicator Inputs)
You have full control over the indicator's sensitivity through its inputs:
Analysis Period (days): Defines the lookback window (in trading days) to search for a consolidation pattern. Common values are 42 (approx. 2 months) or 63 (approx. 3 months).
Maximum Box Height (%): Filters out consolidations that are too volatile or wide. A lower percentage will find tighter, more compressed consolidations.
Minimum Ceiling/Floor Touches: Defines the "strength" of the support and resistance levels. Requiring more touches will result in fewer detected patterns, but likely of higher quality.
Touch Tolerance (%): Defines how close the High/Low needs to get to the edge of the box to be counted as a touch. A value of 2% means a touch is registered if the price comes within 2% of the box's total height from the edge.
Action Zone (%): Customizes the size of the red (resistance) and green (support) zones. A value of 30% means the top 30% of the box will be the red zone, and the bottom 30% will be the green zone.
Hann Window FIR Filter Ribbon [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Hann Window FIR Filter Ribbon is a trend-following visualization tool based on a family of FIR filters using the Hann window function. It plots a smooth and dynamic ribbon formed by six Hann filters of progressively increasing length. Gradient coloring and filled bands reveal trend direction and compression/expansion behavior. When short-term trend shifts occur (via filter crossover), it automatically anchors visual support/resistance zones at the nearest swing highs or lows.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Hann FIR Filter: A finite impulse response filter that uses a Hann (cosine-based) window for weighting past price values, resulting in a non-lag, ultra-smooth output.
hannFilter(length)=>
var float hann = na // Final filter output
float filt = 0
float coef = 0
for i = 1 to length
weight = 1 - math.cos(2 * math.pi * i / (length + 1))
filt += price * weight
coef += weight
hann := coef != 0 ? filt / coef : na
Ribbon Stack: The indicator plots 6 Hann FIR filters with increasing lengths, creating a smooth "ribbon" that adapts to price shifts and visually encodes volatility.
Gradient Coloring: Line colors and fill opacity between layers are dynamically adjusted based on the distance between the filters, showing momentum expansion or contraction.
Dynamic Swing Zones: When the shortest filter crosses its nearest neighbor, a swing high/low is located, and a triangle-style level is anchored and projected to the right.
Self-Extending Levels: These dynamic levels persist and extend until invalidated or replaced by a new opposite trend break.
🔵 FEATURES
Plots 6 Hann FIR filters with increasing lengths (controlled by Ribbon Size input).
Automatically colors each filter and the fill between them with smooth gradient transitions.
Detects trend shifts via filter crossover and anchors visual resistance (red) or support (green) zones.
Support/resistance zones are triangle-style bands built around recent swing highs/lows.
Levels auto-extend right and adapt in real time until invalidated by price action.
Ribbon responds smoothly to price and shows contraction or expansion behavior clearly.
No lag in crossover detection thanks to FIR architecture.
Adjustable sensitivity via Length and Ribbon Size inputs.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use the ribbon gradient as a visual trend strength and smooth direction cue.
Watch for crossover of shortest filters as early trend change signals.
Monitor support/resistance zones as potential high-probability reaction points.
Combine with other tools like momentum or volume to confirm trend breaks.
Adjust ribbon thickness and length to suit your trading timeframe and volatility preference.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Hann Window FIR Filter Ribbon blends digital signal processing with trading logic to deliver a visually refined, non-lagging trend tool. The adaptive ribbon offers insight into momentum compression and release, while swing-based levels give structure to potential reversals. Ideal for traders who seek smooth trend detection with intelligent, auto-adaptive zone plotting.
RED E Support & ResistanceThe “RED-E Support & Resistance” indicator is designed to assist traders in visualizing key levels of support and resistance on a chart by employing ATR (Average True Range) to create dynamic horizontal zones. This indicator automatically plots robust support and resistance bands that can help identify potential areas where price may reverse, consolidate, or react. These levels are particularly beneficial for traders who employ concepts like Smart Money analysis, as they illustrate zones where institutional trading activity might occur.
How It Works:

Ultimate Market Structure [Alpha Extract]Ultimate Market Structure
A comprehensive market structure analysis tool that combines advanced swing point detection, imbalance zone identification, and intelligent break analysis to identify high-probability trading opportunities.Utilizing a sophisticated trend scoring system, this indicator classifies market conditions and provides clear signals for structure breaks, directional changes, and fair value gap detection with institutional-grade precision.
🔶 Advanced Swing Point Detection
Identifies pivot highs and lows using configurable lookback periods with optional close-based analysis for cleaner signals. The system automatically labels swing points as Higher Highs (HH), Lower Highs (LH), Higher Lows (HL), and Lower Lows (LL) while providing advanced classifications including "rising_high", "falling_high", "rising_low", "falling_low", "peak_high", and "valley_low" for nuanced market analysis.
swingHighPrice = useClosesForStructure ? ta.pivothigh(close, swingLength, swingLength) : ta.pivothigh(high, swingLength, swingLength)
swingLowPrice = useClosesForStructure ? ta.pivotlow(close, swingLength, swingLength) : ta.pivotlow(low, swingLength, swingLength)
classification = classifyStructurePoint(structureHighPrice, upperStructure, true)
significance = calculateSignificance(structureHighPrice, upperStructure, true)
🔶 Significance Scoring System
Each structure point receives a significance level on a 1-5 scale based on its distance from previous points, helping prioritize the most important levels. This intelligent scoring system ensures traders focus on the most meaningful structure breaks while filtering out minor noise.
🔶 Comprehensive Trend Analysis
Calculates momentum, strength, direction, and confidence levels using volatility-normalized price changes and multi-timeframe correlation. The system provides real-time trend state tracking with bullish (+1), bearish (-1), or neutral (0) direction assessment and 0-100 confidence scoring.
// Calculate trend momentum using rate of change and volatility
calculateTrendMomentum(lookback) =>
priceChange = (close - close ) / close * 100
avgVolatility = ta.atr(lookback) / close * 100
momentum = priceChange / (avgVolatility + 0.0001)
momentum
// Calculate trend strength using multiple timeframe correlation
calculateTrendStrength(shortPeriod, longPeriod) =>
shortMA = ta.sma(close, shortPeriod)
longMA = ta.sma(close, longPeriod)
separation = math.abs(shortMA - longMA) / longMA * 100
strength = separation * slopeAlignment
❓How It Works
🔶 Imbalance Zone Detection
Identifies Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) between consecutive candles where price gaps create unfilled areas. These zones are displayed as semi-transparent boxes with optional center line mitigation tracking, highlighting potential support and resistance levels where institutional players often react.
// Detect Fair Value Gaps
detectPriceImbalance() =>
currentHigh = high
currentLow = low
refHigh = high
refLow = low
if currentOpen > currentClose
if currentHigh - refLow < 0
upperBound = currentClose - (currentClose - refLow)
lowerBound = currentClose - (currentClose - currentHigh)
centerPoint = (upperBound + lowerBound) / 2
newZone = ImbalanceZone.new(
zoneBox = box.new(bar_index, upperBound, rightEdge, lowerBound,
bgcolor=bullishImbalanceColor, border_color=hiddenColor)
)
🔶 Structure Break Analysis
Determines Break of Structure (BOS) for trend continuation and Directional Change (DC) for trend reversals with advanced classification as "continuation", "reversal", or "neutral". The system compares pre-trend and post-trend states for each break, providing comprehensive trend change momentum analysis.
🔶 Intelligent Zone Management
Features partial mitigation tracking when price enters but doesn't fully fill zones, with automatic zone boundary adjustment during partial fills. Smart array management keeps only recent structure points for optimal performance while preventing duplicate signals from the same level.
🔶 Liquidity Zone Detection
Automatically identifies potential liquidity zones at key structure points for institutional trading analysis. The system tracks broken structure points and provides adaptive zone extension with configurable time-based limits for imbalance areas.
🔶 Visual Structure Mapping
Provides clear visual indicators including swing labels with color-coded significance levels, dashed lines connecting break points with BOS/DC labels, and break signals for continuation and reversal patterns. The adaptive zones feature smart management with automatic mitigation tracking.
🔶 Market Structure Interpretation
HH/HL patterns indicate bullish market structure with trend continuation likelihood, while LH/LL patterns signal bearish structure with downtrend continuation expected. BOS signals represent structure breaks in trend direction for continuation opportunities, while DC signals warn of potential reversals.
🔶 Performance Optimization
Automatic cleanup of old structure points (keeps last 8 points), recent break tracking (keeps last 5 break events), and efficient array management ensure smooth performance across all timeframes and market conditions.
Why Choose Ultimate Market Structure ?
This indicator provides traders with institutional-grade market structure analysis, combining multiple analytical approaches into one comprehensive tool. By identifying key structure levels, imbalance zones, and break patterns with advanced significance scoring, it helps traders understand market dynamics and position themselves for high-probability trade setups in alignment with smart money concepts. The sophisticated trend scoring system and intelligent zone management make it an essential tool for any serious trader looking to decode market structure with precision and confidence.
Pivot Channel LevelsPivot Channel Levels
Indicator Description
“Pivot Channel Levels” is an advanced technical analysis tool that identifies key price pivots (highs and lows) and creates dynamic support and resistance levels based on the wicks of candles at these points (or bodies if wicks are minimal). The indicator analyzes the volume at the time of a pivot’s formation, displaying its value and percentage change relative to the volume’s simple moving average (SMA).
It does not generate buy/sell signals but provides a clear visualization of market structure, helping traders identify potential price reaction zones and assess the strength of market movements.
Why Are Wicks Important?
Candle wicks at price pivots indicate significant market reactions in key areas. Depending on the context, they may signal rejection, testing, or absorption of a support or resistance level. Long wicks often appear where large players are active, and the marked zones are frequently retested. The indicator allows for quick identification and observation of their impact on future price action.
Why Use It?
- Precise Support and Resistance Levels: The indicator draws price channels based on candle wicks at pivots (or bodies if wicks are absent), enabling better identification of zones where price may react.
- Volume Analysis: It shows how the volume at a pivot differs from the average, indicating potential activity by large players or key market moments.
- Visual Clarity: Colored lines, channel fills, and clear labels facilitate quick chart analysis, even on short timeframes.
- Flexibility: Adjustable pivot length, volume average, and label colors allow customization to various trading strategies.
How It Works
- Pivot Detection: Automatically identifies local highs and lows based on the “Pivot Length” parameter (default: 20 candles). This means a pivot appears on the chart with a 20-candle delay. Reducing this value allows faster pivot detection (after fewer candles), increasing their number but potentially generating more noise.
- Channel Creation: Draws support and resistance levels based on the wicks of candles at pivot points (or bodies if wicks are minimal) with a delay to confirm zones. A pivot channel is drawn until the next pivot is identified, but if not previously broken, it remains valid as active support or resistance.
- Volume Analysis: Displays the volume at the pivot’s formation and its percentage change relative to the volume’s SMA.
- Visualization: Pivot and channel levels are shown as lines with fills, and labels display volume and its deviation from the average.
Trading Applications
- Swing Trading: Use pivot levels and channels to identify price reversal points or consolidation zones.
- Scalping: Monitor price reactions to channels on short timeframes, especially with high volume.
- Faster Pivot Identification: Switch to a lower timeframe (e.g., from H1 to M15) to identify pivots more quickly, allowing earlier reactions to price changes.
- Market Context Analysis: High volume at pivots may indicate significant levels likely to be retested.
- Combining with Other Tools: The indicator pairs well with Fibonacci retracement, supply/demand zones, or oscillators like RSI.
Settings and Customization
- Pivot Length: Determines how many candles back and forward are analyzed to detect pivots (default: 20). A smaller value increases sensitivity, a larger one enhances stability.
- Volume Average: Length of the SMA for volume (default: 20). Adjust to better reflect market characteristics.
- Label Colors: Choose colors for bullish and bearish pivot labels to match your chart style.
Usage Examples
- Identifying Key Zones: If the price approaches a pivot level with high volume (e.g., +50% relative to SMA), it may signal strong support or resistance.
- Breakout Confirmation: A channel breakout with high volume can indicate trend continuation.
- Price Reaction Analysis: Long wicks at pivots with high volume may signal level rejection by large players.
Notes for Users
- The indicator performs best on highly liquid markets (e.g., Forex, indices, cryptocurrencies).
- On short timeframes (e.g., M1, M5), it may generate more noise—adjust “Pivot Length” to suit your needs.
- Consider combining with other indicators to confirm signals derived from pivot and volume analysis.

StochRSI Context EngineThe StochRSI Context Engine is a premium, logic-driven indicator built to provide comprehensive intraday momentum context using multi-timeframe Stochastic RSI analysis. Rather than issuing direct buy or sell signals, the tool is designed to give traders enhanced clarity on trend posture, overbought/oversold conditions, volatility states, and potential momentum reversals. It combines multiple layers of signal processing to deliver an intelligent overview of market conditions in real time.
What it does:
The indicator performs a multi-timeframe evaluation of the Stochastic RSI, sampling values from four customizable timeframes (default: 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h). These values are blended and processed through a series of analytical engines to provide the following:
1. StochRSI Multi-Timeframe Engine
* Computes a smoothed Stochastic RSI value on each selected timeframe.
* Applies user-defined smoothing (SMA, EMA, RMA, or WMA).
* Aggregates these into an average (sRSIavg) for further analysis.
2. Trend and Volatility Engine
* Uses EMA stacking logic (8, 21, 50) to determine directional alignment.
* Calculates linear regression slope for directional bias.
* Assesses volatility using ATR relative to price.
* Derives a trendScore based on EMA alignment, price position, and slope strength.
3. Bias and Slope Analysis
* Measures fast/slow EMA slope differentials to detect bias direction and strength.
* Computes slope deltas and volatility-weighted stacking to score bias conditions.
* Outputs a classification such as strong bullish, moderate bearish, or neutral.
4. Dynamic OB/OS Zone Detection
* Adapts overbought and oversold thresholds based on volatility and trend regime.
* Adjusts the zone boundaries if in a trending or high-volatility environment.
5. Microzone Proximity Detection
* Tracks whether the average StochRSI is approaching key OB/OS thresholds.
* Flags conditions like “Near Overbought,” “Near Oversold,” or “Mid Range.”
6. Velocity and Acceleration Detection
* Measures how quickly StochRSI values are changing.
* Uses delta calculations to gauge the momentum’s thrust or decay.
* Classifies shifts in RSI movement (e.g., flat, slow, fast, or thrusting).
7. Range Expansion / Compression Engine
* Evaluates whether StochRSI values across timeframes are diverging or compressing.
* Identifies regime changes in momentum coherence.
8. Momentum Scoring System
* Calculates a composite score based on bias, slope strength, volatility, and range.
* Labels momentum phases from dormant to full-throttle.
9. Confluence Detection
* Tallies how many of the 4 timeframes are currently overbought or oversold.
* High confluence increases the probability of valid reversal or continuation zones.
10. Support and Resistance Zone Memory
* Tracks and plots previous areas where StochRSI bounced or rejected near zones.
* Stores and updates these zones over time, acting as momentum-based S/R levels.
* Includes a proximity check to cluster zones that are close in value.
11. Divergence Detection Engine
* Detects classic bullish or bearish divergence between price and the aggregated StochRSI.
* Draws lines to show divergence structure and triggers real-time alerts.
12. Smart Background Highlighting
* Shades the background based on whether current StochRSI is in an overbought, oversold, or
neutral zone.
13. Real-Time Dashboard
* Displays trend, bias, confluence count, velocity, divergence state, momentum score, and
more.
* Dynamically updates and is optimized for top-right screen positioning with compact
formatting.
14. Smart Alerts
* Issues alerts for divergence detection and high-confluence reversal conditions.
15. Real-Time Labels on Curves
* Shows the selected timeframes alongside each plotted StochRSI line to clarify source data.
What it’s based on:
* Stochastic RSI as the core input signal, providing normalized momentum across timeframes.
* EMA stacking logic, adapted from institutional trend-following models.
* Volatility normalization using ATR to adapt thresholds in high vs. low volatility environments.
* Slope forecasting using linear regression to infer directional conviction.
* Bias analysis modeled on a composite of EMA distance, alignment, and directional thrust.
* Support/resistance zone memory derived from repeated interaction with dynamic OB/OS thresholds.
* Divergence logic based on localized price and oscillator peaks/troughs.
* Multi-factor confidence scoring, aggregating up to 6 inputs to rate market clarity.

SMT SwiftEdge PowerhouseSMT SwiftEdge Powerhouse: Precision Trading with Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and OTE Zones
The SMT SwiftEdge Powerhouse is a powerful trading tool designed to help traders identify high-probability entry points during the most active market sessions—London and New York. By combining Smart Money Technique (SMT) Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) Zones, this script provides a unique and cohesive strategy for capturing market reversals with precision. Whether you're a scalper or a swing trader, this indicator offers clear visual signals to enhance your trading decisions on any timeframe.
What Does This Script Do?
This script integrates three key concepts to identify potential trading opportunities:
SMT Divergence:
SMT Divergence compares the price action of two correlated assets (e.g., Nasdaq and S&P 500 futures) to detect hidden market reversals. When one asset makes a higher high while the other makes a lower high (bearish divergence), or one makes a lower low while the other makes a higher low (bullish divergence), it signals a potential reversal. This technique leverages institutional "smart money" behavior to anticipate market shifts.
Liquidity Grabs:
Liquidity Grabs occur when price breaks above recent highs or below recent lows on higher timeframes (5m and 15m), often triggering stop-loss orders from retail traders. These breakouts are identified using pivot points and confirm institutional activity, setting the stage for a reversal. The script focuses on liquidity grabs during the London and New York sessions for maximum market activity.
Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) Zones:
OTE Zones are Fibonacci-based retracement areas (e.g., 61.8%) calculated after a liquidity grab. These zones highlight where price is likely to retrace before continuing in the direction of the reversal, offering a high-probability entry point. The script adjusts the width of these zones using the Average True Range (ATR) to adapt to market volatility.
By combining these components, the script identifies when institutional activity (liquidity grabs) aligns with market reversals (SMT divergence) and pinpoints precise entry points (OTE zones) during high-liquidity sessions.
Why Combine These Components?
The integration of SMT Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and OTE Zones creates a robust trading system for several reasons:
Synergy of Institutional Signals: SMT Divergence and Liquidity Grabs both reflect "smart money" behavior—divergence shows hidden reversals, while liquidity grabs confirm institutional intent to trap retail traders. Together, they provide a strong foundation for identifying high-probability setups.
Session-Based Precision: Focusing on the London and New York sessions ensures signals occur during periods of high volatility and liquidity, increasing their reliability.
Precision Entries with OTE: After confirming a setup with divergence and liquidity grabs, OTE zones provide a clear entry area, reducing guesswork and improving trade accuracy.
Adaptability: The script works on any timeframe, with adjustable settings for signal sensitivity, session times, and Fibonacci levels, making it versatile for different trading styles.
This combination makes the script unique by aligning institutional insights with actionable entry points, tailored to the most active market hours.
How to Use the Script
Setup:
Add the script to your chart (works on any timeframe, e.g., 1m, 5m, 15m).
Configure the settings in the indicator's inputs:
Session Settings: Adjust the start/end times for London and New York sessions (default: London 8-11 UTC, New York 13-16 UTC). You can disable session restrictions if desired.
Asset Settings: Set the primary and secondary assets for SMT Divergence (default: NQ1! and ES1!). Ensure the assets are correlated.
Signal Settings: Adjust the lookback period, ATR period, and signal sensitivity (Low/Medium/High) to control the frequency of signals.
OTE Settings: Choose the Fibonacci level for OTE zones (default: 61.8%).
Visual Settings: Enable/disable OTE zones, SMT labels, and debug labels for troubleshooting.
Interpreting Signals:
Blue Circles: Indicate a liquidity grab (price breaking a 5m or 15m pivot high/low), marking the start of a potential setup.
Blue OTE Zones: Appear after a liquidity grab, showing the retracement area (e.g., 61.8% Fibonacci level) where price is likely to enter for a reversal trade. The label "OTE Trigger 5m/15m" confirms the direction (Short/Long) and session.
Green/Red Entry Boxes: Mark precise entry points when price enters the OTE zone and confirms the SMT Divergence. Green boxes indicate a long entry, red boxes a short entry.
Trading Example:
On a 1m chart, a blue circle appears when price breaks a 5m pivot high during the London session.
A blue OTE zone forms, showing a retracement area (e.g., 61.8% Fibonacci level) with the label "OTE Trigger 5m/15m (Short, London)".
Price retraces into the OTE zone, and a red "Short Entry" box appears, confirming a bearish SMT Divergence.
Enter a short trade at the red box, with a stop-loss above the OTE zone and a take-profit at the next support level.
Originality and Utility
The SMT SwiftEdge Powerhouse stands out by merging SMT Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and OTE Zones into a single, session-focused indicator. Unlike traditional indicators that focus on one aspect of price action, this script combines institutional reversal signals with precise entry zones, tailored to the most active market hours. Its adaptability across timeframes, customizable settings, and clear visual cues make it a versatile tool for traders seeking to capitalize on smart money movements with confidence.
Tips for Best Results
Use on correlated assets like NQ1! (Nasdaq futures) and ES1! (S&P 500 futures) for accurate SMT Divergence.
Test on lower timeframes (1m, 5m) for scalping or higher timeframes (15m, 1H) for swing trading.
Adjust the "Signal Sensitivity" to "High" for more signals or "Low" for fewer, high-quality setups.
Enable "Show Debug Labels" if signals are not appearing as expected, to troubleshoot pivot points and liquidity grabs.
Liquidity Heatmap SwiftEdgeDescription
Liquidity Heatmap with Buy/Sell Side (Blue/Red) is a technical analysis tool designed to help traders identify potential liquidity zones in the market by combining swing high/low detection with volume analysis, visualized as a heatmap overlay on the chart. This script highlights areas where significant buying or selling pressure may exist, often acting as support or resistance levels, and provides a clear visual representation of these zones using color-coded heatmap boxes and labeled bubbles.
What It Does
The script identifies key price levels (swing highs and lows) where liquidity is likely to be concentrated, such as stop-loss clusters or pending orders. These levels are then grouped into a heatmap, with blue zones representing potential buy-side liquidity (below the current price) and red zones indicating sell-side liquidity (above the current price). Each zone is marked with a bubble showing the estimated liquidity amount, derived from volume data, to help traders gauge the strength of the level.
How It Works
The script combines three main components to create a comprehensive liquidity visualization:
Swing Highs and Lows Detection:
The script uses the ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow functions to identify swing highs and lows over a user-defined lookback period (Swing Length). These levels often represent areas where price has reversed, indicating potential liquidity zones where stop-losses or pending orders may be placed.
Volume Analysis:
Volume data at each swing high/low is captured and averaged over a specified period (Volume Average Length). This volume is then scaled using a multiplier (Volume Multiplier for Liquidity) to estimate the liquidity amount at each level, displayed in thousands (e.g., "10K") on the chart via labeled bubbles.
Heatmap Visualization:
The identified levels are grouped into price bins to form a heatmap. The price range is divided into a user-defined number of bins (Number of Heatmap Bins), and each bin is drawn as a colored box (blue for buy-side, red for sell-side). The transparency of the heatmap boxes can be adjusted (Heatmap Transparency) to ensure they do not obscure the price action.
Why Combine These Components?
The combination of swing highs/lows, volume analysis, and a heatmap provides a powerful way to visualize liquidity in the market. Swing highs and lows are natural points where liquidity tends to accumulate, as they often coincide with areas where traders place stop-losses or pending orders. By incorporating volume data, the script quantifies the potential strength of these levels, giving traders insight into the magnitude of liquidity present. The heatmap visualization then aggregates these levels into a clear, color-coded overlay, making it easy to see where buy-side and sell-side liquidity is concentrated without cluttering the chart.
This mashup is particularly useful because it bridges price action (swing levels), market activity (volume), and visual clarity (heatmap), offering a holistic view of potential support and resistance zones that might influence price movements.
How to Use It
Add the Indicator to Your Chart:
Apply the script to your chart by adding it from the Pine Script library. It will overlay directly on your price chart.
Interpret the Heatmap:
Blue Zones (Buy-Side Liquidity): These appear below the current price and indicate levels where buying pressure or stop-losses from short positions may be located.
Red Zones (Sell-Side Liquidity): These appear above the current price and indicate levels where selling pressure or stop-losses from long positions may be located.
The intensity of the color is controlled by the Heatmap Transparency setting—lower values make the zones more opaque, while higher values make them more transparent.
Analyze the Bubbles:
Each liquidity zone is marked with a bubble showing the estimated liquidity amount in thousands (e.g., "10K"). The size of the bubble is scaled by the Bubble Size Multiplier, with larger bubbles indicating higher liquidity.
Adjust Settings for Your Needs:
Liquidity Settings:
Swing Length: Controls the lookback period for detecting swing highs and lows. A smaller value (e.g., 10) is better for shorter timeframes like 1-minute charts, while a larger value (e.g., 50) suits higher timeframes.
Liquidity Threshold: Defines how close two levels must be to be considered the same, preventing duplicate zones.
Volume Average Length: Sets the period for averaging volume data at swing points.
Volume Multiplier for Liquidity: Scales the volume to estimate liquidity amounts shown in the bubbles.
Lookback Period (Hours): Limits how far back the script looks for liquidity zones.
Use Price Window Filter: If enabled, only shows zones within a price range defined by Liquidity Window (Points per Side).
Heatmap Settings:
Number of Heatmap Bins: Determines how many price bins the heatmap is divided into. More bins create a finer resolution but may clutter the chart.
Heatmap Bin Height (Points): Sets the vertical height of each heatmap box in price points.
Heatmap Transparency: Adjusts the transparency of the heatmap boxes (0 = fully opaque, 100 = fully transparent).
Display Settings:
Bubble Size Multiplier: Scales the size of the bubbles showing liquidity amounts.
Trading Application:
Use the heatmap to identify potential support (blue zones) and resistance (red zones) levels where price may react.
Pay attention to zones with larger bubbles, as they indicate higher liquidity and may have a stronger impact on price.
Combine with other analysis tools (e.g., trendlines, indicators) to confirm trade setups.
What Makes It Original?
This script stands out by integrating swing high/low detection with volume-based liquidity estimation and a heatmap visualization in a single tool. Unlike traditional support/resistance indicators that only plot static lines, this script dynamically aggregates liquidity zones into a heatmap, making it easier to see clusters of potential buying or selling pressure. The addition of volume-derived liquidity amounts in labeled bubbles provides a unique quantitative measure of each zone's strength, helping traders prioritize key levels. The color-coded buy/sell distinction further enhances its utility by visually separating zones based on their likely market impact.
Example Use Case
On a 1-minute chart of EUR/USD, you might set Swing Length to 10 to capture short-term pivots, Lookback Period (Hours) to 4 to focus on recent data, and Liquidity Window to 200 points (20 pips) to show only nearby zones. The heatmap will then display blue zones below the current price where buy-side liquidity may act as support, and red zones above where sell-side liquidity may act as resistance. A bubble showing "50K" at a blue zone indicates significant buy-side liquidity, suggesting a potential bounce if the price approaches that level.

SL Hunting Detector📌 Step 1: Identify Liquidity Zones
The script plots high-liquidity zones (red) and low-liquidity zones (green).
These are areas where big players target stop-losses before reversing the price.
Example:
If price is near a red liquidity zone, expect a potential stop-loss hunt & reversal downward.
If price is near a green liquidity zone, expect a potential stop-loss hunt & reversal upward.
📌 Step 2: Watch for Stop-Loss Hunts (Fakeouts)
The indicator marks stop-loss hunts with red (bearish) or green (bullish) arrows.
When do stop-loss hunts occur?
✅ A long wick below support (with high volume) = Stop hunt before reversal upward.
✅ A long wick above resistance (with high volume) = Stop hunt before reversal downward.
Confirmation:
Volume must spike (volume > 1.5x the average volume).
ATR-based wicks must be longer than usual (showing a stop-hunt trap).
📌 Step 3: Enter a Trade After a Stop-Hunt
🔹 Bullish Trade (Buying a Dip)
If a green arrow appears (stop-hunt below support):
✅ Enter a long (buy) trade at or just above the wick’s recovery level.
✅ Stop-loss: Below the wick’s low (avoid getting hunted again).
✅ Take-profit: Next resistance level or mid-range of the liquidity zone.
🔹 Bearish Trade (Shorting a Fakeout)
If a red arrow appears (stop-hunt above resistance):
✅ Enter a short (sell) trade at or just below the wick’s rejection level.
✅ Stop-loss: Above the wick’s high (avoid getting stopped out).
✅ Take-profit: Next support level or mid-range of the liquidity zone.
📌 Step 4: Set Alerts & Automate
✅ The indicator triggers alerts when a stop-hunt is detected.
✅ You can set TradingView to notify you instantly when:
A bullish stop-hunt occurs → Look for long entry.
A bearish stop-hunt occurs → Look for short entry.
📌 Example Trade Setup
Example (BTC Long Trade on Stop-Hunt)
BTC is near $40,000 support (green liquidity zone).
A long wick drops to $39,800 with a green arrow (bullish stop-hunt signal).
Volume spikes, and price recovers quickly back above $40,000.
Trade entry: Buy at $40,050.
Stop-loss: Below wick ($39,700).
Take-profit: $41,500 (next resistance).
Result: BTC pumps, stop-loss remains safe, and trade profits.
🔥 Final Tips
Always wait for confirmation (don’t enter blindly on signals).
Use higher timeframes (15m, 1H, 4H) for better accuracy.
Combine with Order Flow tools (like Bookmap) to see real liquidity zones.

Discount/Premium OTE LevelsThis indicator is created to identify discount/premium areas to provide additional confluence to trades taken. The underlying theory is that the trades taken in discounted areas are likely to have less risk due to a smaller stop loss and a higher reward/risk ratio.
The indicator operates by first identifying a zone between the last major swing high and low. These highs and lows are determined as price points that at the extremes within the number of bars to the left, as defined by the "Swing Sensitivity" setting.
Once a price zone is established, the indicator verifies that the zone meets the minimum size in points as configured via the "Minimum size" setting to be considered tradable. Zones that are too small may not provide a sufficient range even for scalping. The default value is 42 points based on Nasdaq, which means that the distance between inner most OTE levels (0.382 and 0.618) is at least 10 points.
When a valid zone is identified, it is then subdivided into areas of interest based on OTE levels, which can be configured/adjusted via the "Levels to Draw" setting. These levels represent the midpoint (50%), which distinguishes between premium and discount, and the three OTE levels 0.79, 0.705, 0.618, above the 50% for discount and below the 50% for premium.
For example, if a zone is formed initially by a swing low followed by a swing high with the assumption that the draw is higher, the indicator can be used to formulate long positions from below the 50% level starting at 0.38 OTE level, or ideally at 0.295 OTE level using 0 as a stop loss. Alternatively, if the 50% level is not yet tapped, short scalp positions can be made from 0.79-0.618 OTE levels with 50% as a partial or TP target.
See for long/short example
Typically, the indicator will show only a single zone. However, there may be cases with two zones: one larger parent zone containing a smaller, valid price zone within itself.
The indicator will automatically invalidate and remove the zone once the high/low of the zone is invalidated.
Configuration:
The indicator provides several visualization options for customization, including:
Color settings for OTE levels, with separate settings for edge/50% color, premium, and discount levels.
Settings for line style for OTE levels.
Settings to determine whether to show prices on level labels.
Settings to decide if lines should be extended to the right.
200-Week EMA % Difference200-Week EMA Percentage Difference Indicator – Understanding Market Stretch & Reversion
What This Indicator Does
Even if an individual stock is delivering strong earnings and solid fundamentals, it is still influenced by overall market sentiment. When the broader market begins reverting to its long-term mean, stocks—no matter how strong—are often pulled down along with it. Unrealized gains can erode if one ignores these macro movements.
The 200-Week EMA Percentage Difference indicator measures how far the price of an asset or index has moved away from its 200-week Exponential Moving Average (EMA) in percentage terms. This provides a reliable gauge of whether the market is overstretched (overbought) or pulling back to support (oversold) relative to a long-term trend.
How It Helps Investors
Identifying Market Extremes:
When the indicator moves into the 50-80% range, historical trends show that broad-based indices like BSE Smallcap, Nifty 500, Nifty Microcap, and Nifty Smallcap 250 have often experienced corrections.
This suggests that the market may be overextended, and investors should exercise caution.
Spotting Support Zones:
Past data indicates that when the percentage difference falls back to around 30%, the market often finds a new support level, leading to fresh buying opportunities.
This can help long-term investors identify favorable entry points.
Mean Reversion & Market Cycles:
The indicator essentially measures how far these indices have stretched from their long-term mean (200-week EMA).
Extreme deviations from the EMA often result in mean reversion, where prices eventually return to more sustainable levels.
How to Use It in Broad-Based Indices
Above 50-80% → Caution Zone: Historically associated with market tops or overheated conditions.
Around 30% → Support Zone: A potential level where corrections stabilize and new market uptrends begin.
By applying this indicator to indices like BSE Smallcap, Nifty 500, Nifty Microcap, and Nifty Smallcap 250, investors can gauge market strength, anticipate corrections, and position themselves strategically for long-term opportunities.

NWOG with FVGThe New Week Opening Gap (NWOG) and Fair Value Gap (FVG) combined indicator is a trading tool designed to analyze price action and detect potential support, resistance, and trade entry opportunities based on two significant concepts:
New Week Opening Gap (NWOG): The price range between the high and low of the first candle of the new trading week.
Fair Value Gap (FVG): A price imbalance or gap between candlesticks, where price may retrace to fill the gap, indicating potential support or resistance zones.
When combined, these two concepts help traders identify key price levels (from the new week open) and price imbalances (from FVGs), which can act as powerful indicators for potential market reversals, retracements, or continuation trades.
1. New Week Opening Gap (NWOG):
Definition:
The New Week Opening Gap (NWOG) refers to the range between the high and low of the first candle in a new trading week (often, the Monday open in most markets).
Purpose:
NWOG serves as a significant reference point for market behavior throughout the week. Price action relative to this range helps traders identify:
Support and Resistance zones.
Bullish or Bearish sentiment depending on price’s relation to the opening gap levels.
Areas where the market may retrace or reverse before continuing in the primary trend.
How NWOG is Identified:
The high and low of the first candle of the new week are drawn on the chart, and these levels are used to assess the market's behavior relative to this range.
Trading Strategy Using NWOG:
Above the NWOG Range: If price is trading above the NWOG levels, it signals bullish sentiment.
Below the NWOG Range: If price is trading below the NWOG levels, it signals bearish sentiment.
Price Touching the NWOG Levels: If price approaches or breaks through the NWOG levels, it can indicate a potential retracement or reversal.
2. Fair Value Gap (FVG):
Definition:
A Fair Value Gap (FVG) occurs when there is a gap or imbalance between two consecutive candlesticks, where the high of one candle is lower than the low of the next candle (or vice versa), creating a zone that may act as a price imbalance.
Purpose:
FVGs represent an imbalance in price action, often indicating that the market moved too quickly and left behind a price region that was not fully traded.
FVGs can serve as areas where price is likely to retrace to fill the gap, as traders seek to correct the imbalance.
How FVG is Identified:
An FVG is detected if:
Bearish FVG: The high of one candle is less than the low of the next (gap up).
Bullish FVG: The low of one candle is greater than the high of the next (gap down).
The area between the gap is drawn as a shaded region, indicating the FVG zone.
Trading Strategy Using FVG:
Price Filling the FVG: Price is likely to retrace to fill the gap. A reversal candle in the FVG zone can indicate a trade setup.
Support and Resistance: FVG zones can act as support (in a bullish FVG) or resistance (in a bearish FVG) if the price retraces to them.
Combined Strategy: New Week Opening Gap (NWOG) and Fair Value Gap (FVG):
The combined use of NWOG and FVG helps traders pinpoint high-probability price action setups where:
The New Week Opening Gap (NWOG) acts as a major reference level for potential support or resistance.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) represent market imbalances where price might retrace to, filling the gap before continuing its move.
Signal Logic:
Buy Signal:
Price touches or breaks above the NWOG range (indicating a bullish trend) and there is a bullish FVG present (gap indicating a support area).
Price retraces to fill the bullish FVG, offering a potential buy opportunity.
Sell Signal:
Price touches or breaks below the NWOG range (indicating a bearish trend) and there is a bearish FVG present (gap indicating a resistance area).
Price retraces to fill the bearish FVG, offering a potential sell opportunity.
Example:
Buy Setup:
Price breaks above the NWOG resistance level, and a bullish FVG (gap down) appears below. Traders can wait for price to pull back to fill the gap and then take a long position when confirmation occurs.
Sell Setup:
Price breaks below the NWOG support level, and a bearish FVG (gap up) appears above. Traders can wait for price to retrace and fill the gap before entering a short position.
Key Benefits of the Combined NWOG & FVG Indicator:
Combines Two Key Concepts:
NWOG provides context for the market's overall direction based on the start of the week.
FVG highlights areas where price imbalances exist and where price might retrace to, making it easier to spot entry points.
High-Probability Setups:
By combining these two strategies, the indicator helps traders spot high-probability trades based on major market levels (from NWOG) and price inefficiencies (from FVG).
Helps Identify Reversal and Continuation Opportunities:
FVGs act as potential support and resistance zones, and when combined with the context of the NWOG levels, it gives traders clearer guidance on where price might reverse or continue its trend.
Clear Visual Signals:
The indicator can plot the NWOG levels on the chart, and shade the FVG areas, providing a clean and easy-to-read chart with entry signals marked for buy and sell opportunities.
Conclusion:
The New Week Opening Gap (NWOG) and Fair Value Gap (FVG) combined indicator is a powerful tool for traders who use price action strategies. By incorporating the New Week's opening range and identifying gaps in price action, this indicator helps traders identify potential support and resistance zones, pinpoint entry opportunities, and increase the probability of successful trades.
