Smart Money Concepts - Regime-Adaptive SMC [Dots3Red]█ SMART MONEY CONCEPTS — REGIME-ADAPTIVE SMC
This indicator attempts to bridge a gap that most SMC traders encounter in practice: the same pattern — an Order Block, a Fair Value Gap, a structure break — behaves differently depending on whether the market is trending or ranging. A bullish Order Block in a trending market is a continuation entry zone. The same pattern near the top of a range is a reversal signal. This script uses a built-in regime classifier to determine the current market character on every bar, then filters and interprets each SMC concept accordingly.
█ HOW THE REGIME CLASSIFIER WORKS
Three measurements are combined into a single trend score on every bar:
ADX (Average Directional Index) measures how strongly price is committed to a direction. It is normalized from its natural 0–60 range to a 0–1 scale by dividing by 60.
Choppiness Index measures directional efficiency — how much of price movement was "wasted" going sideways versus producing net progress. It is inverted so that high choppiness produces a low score. Near 38 (the Fibonacci trend boundary) the normalized value approaches 1.0. Near 100 (pure chop) it approaches 0.0.
The two values are averaged:
trend_score = (adx_normalized + choppiness_inverted_normalized) / 2
A score above 0.6 identifies a trending market. A score below 0.6 identifies a ranging market.
Volatility override: a separate check compares current ATR against its 50-bar SMA. If the ratio exceeds 1.5× the baseline, the regime switches to VOLATILE regardless of the trend score — because during genuine volatility expansion, both trend and reversal signals become unreliable.
Finally, a mode filter examines the last 6 raw regime values and returns the most frequent one. This prevents the regime from flickering on borderline readings.
█ WHAT EACH REGIME SHOWS
TRENDING (cyan bars): Market is moving directionally. Shows BOS labels confirming continuation, Order Blocks created at displacement-qualified BOS bars as continuation entry zones, and Fair Value Gaps as pullback targets in the trend direction. CHoCH signals are hidden — in a trend, CHoCH is usually a deep pullback, not a reversal.
RANGING (magenta bars): Market is oscillating between levels. Shows CHoCH labels flagging potential reversals at range extremes, Order Blocks at CHoCH bars as reversal entry zones, and Fair Value Gaps near range boundaries. BOS signals are hidden — a structure break in a ranging market is usually a liquidity sweep, not a genuine breakout.
VOLATILE (amber bars): ATR has expanded significantly above its baseline — earnings, macro events, sudden liquidations. Order Blocks and FVGs are suppressed because zones created during volatility spikes are historically unreliable. Structure labels (BOS) remain visible for position tracking only.
UNCERTAIN (slate bars): The classifier cannot confidently assign a regime. All signals are displayed so the trader has maximum information. This state occurs during the warmup period and at genuine transition boundaries.
█ ORDER BLOCK DETECTION
Order Blocks require an additional displacement filter before they are created. The body of the candle immediately before the BOS or CHoCH must exceed 0.8× ATR in absolute size. This ensures only candles with institutional-grade momentum qualify — eliminating the low-quality OBs that make most SMC scripts visually cluttered.
Mitigation uses standard ICT methodology: a bullish OB is consumed when price's low touches the top of the zone. A bearish OB is consumed when price's high touches the bottom of the zone. Consumed zones fade visually and stop extending.
█ FAIR VALUE GAP DETECTION
A bullish FVG exists when the high of candle is below the low of candle — a genuine three-candle imbalance where price moved too fast to fill. A minimum size filter of 0.15× ATR removes noise gaps. FVGs extend forward until price enters the gap, at which point they fade and stop tracking.
█ PREMIUM / DISCOUNT ZONES
Two horizontal lines divide the current 25-bar swing range:
• 75% level (red): price is in the upper quartile of the recent range — statistically expensive. In ranging markets this is a sell consideration zone.
• 25% level (green): price is in the lower quartile — statistically cheap. In ranging markets this is a buy consideration zone.
The HUD displays the current percentage position within the range in real time.
█ SMC BIAS MATRIX
The HUD includes a composite directional score built from three components:
• Structural trend (35 points): which direction is the structural_trend state machine currently pointing
• Premium / Discount position (30 points): which side of the range is price on
• Regime alignment (35 points): does the regime confirm the directional bias
In VOLATILE and UNCERTAIN regimes the bias is forced to 50% and displays "STAND ASIDE" or "WAIT FOR REGIME" — because the script suppresses OB and FVG signals in those states, showing a directional bias would contradict its own logic.
█ WHAT YOU SEE ON THE CHART
• Bar colors: every bar is tinted by the current regime — cyan (trending), magenta (ranging), amber (volatile), slate (uncertain). No labels or background fills — just the candles themselves change color, keeping the chart clean.
• BOS / CHoCH labels: small labels appear above swing highs (bullish breaks) or below swing lows (bearish breaks), offset by 1.5× ATR so they never overlap candle bodies.
• Order Block boxes: semi-transparent boxes that extend bar by bar until mitigated, then fade. Maximum 4 per direction.
• FVG boxes: thin semi-transparent boxes extending until filled, then fading. Minimum size filtered.
• Premium/Discount lines: two step-lines showing the 75% and 25% boundaries of the current swing range.
• HUD: regime state, confidence bar, bias matrix, P/D zone, ADX, Choppiness Index, ATR ratio, and live counts of active OBs and FVGs.
█ ALERTS
Seven alert conditions are available: Bull BOS, Bear BOS, Bull CHoCH, Bear CHoCH, Regime → Trending, Regime → Ranging, Regime → Volatile.
█ NOTES ON SETTINGS
• Regime Smoothing Filter: 5–7 for intraday charts, 8–12 for daily/weekly. Lower values react faster but produce more regime transitions.
• Volatile ATR Mult: 1.8–2.0 for stock indices (earnings create genuine 2× spikes), 1.4–1.6 for crypto and forex.
• OB Displacement Mult: 0.5–0.8 for daily charts where candles are naturally larger, 1.0–1.5 for intraday.
• Swing Pivot Length: 5–7 for intraday, 7–10 for daily/weekly.

Confluence FVG Finder | ProjectSyndicateConfluence FVG Finder automatically identifies and validates high-probability, non-repainting Fair Value Gaps. It filters for structural quality using an ATR-based imbalance filter, normalizes all zone heights for consistency, and embeds a live multi-timeframe confluence engine inside every zone to provide a quantifiable, data-driven edge.
🧠 Live Multi-Timeframe Engine — This is not a single-timeframe tool. Every FVG zone displayed on the chart is the result of a live, proximity-based confluence engine scanning three independent higher timeframes (default H1, H2, H4) simultaneously. Each label shows exactly how many timeframes confirmed the zone, its composite strength rating (0–10), the session it formed in, its age, and its exact pip height, giving you an instant structural edge.
🎯 Imbalance-Validated FVGs — The engine doesn't just mark any three-candle gap. It validates each Fair Value Gap on the higher timeframes by requiring the gap to exceed a user-defined multiple of ATR, filtering out insignificant micro-gaps and focusing only on imbalances that reflect true market-moving intent before they are even considered for merging.
🎨 ATR-Normalized Zones — Eliminates visual noise from inconsistent gap sizes. This feature forces every merged FVG zone to a uniform, ATR-based height (e.g., 0.75x ATR). This provides a clean, consistent chart and allows for a more objective analysis of price interaction with zones of equal visual weight, preventing oversized gaps from distorting the chart.
📊 Proximity-Based Merging — Timeframes rarely align perfectly to the pip. The confluence engine uses an intelligent ATR-based proximity tolerance to detect when Fair Value Gaps from different timeframes are clustered in the same price territory. It then mathematically merges them into a single, high-probability "Confluence Zone," ensuring you don't miss valid setups due to minor price discrepancies across timeframes.
✅ Chart-Timeframe Independent — The engine's credibility comes from its architectural stability. Each timeframe is detected entirely inside its own data context and every zone is anchored to the timestamp it formed on, so — unlike standard MTF indicators that repaint or shift zones depending on the chart you are viewing — the merged zones are mathematically identical whether you view them on a 5-minute, 15-minute, or 1-hour chart.
🔧 Fully Customizable — Control every aspect of the engine, including the 3 target timeframes (default H1 / H2 / H4), the Minimum Timeframe Confluence threshold (e.g., require 3 out of 3 TFs), the Proximity Tolerance multiplier, the Minimum Strength Filter, the per-timeframe strength bonus, the mitigation mode (Touch / Full Fill / 50% Fill), and the colors/visibility of Bullish and Bearish zones.
🔬 Why this algo is unique: Standard FVG indicators are subjective — often just shading every three-candle gap on the current timeframe with no proof of higher-timeframe alignment. The Confluence FVG Engine transforms this into an objective, multi-dimensional instrument. It doesn't just show you a gap; it proves the imbalance is backed by aligned intent across multiple timeframes, merging them into a single, undeniable area of interest on the exact chart you are viewing.
🌐 Apply to Gold (XAUUSD), Indices (US30, NAS100), Forex Majors, and Crypto. With the default H1 / H2 / H4 structure, execute from any timeframe at or below H1 (1m–1h) while the engine tracks the H1, H2, and H4 imbalances. The engine is designed for assets that exhibit clear impulsive moves and respect deep supply/demand dynamics.
🗂️ How to use this? The most critical metrics are the Timeframe Confluence Count and the Strength Rating. A zone confirmed by 3 timeframes with a Strength of 8.0+ indicates a massive structural edge. Consider only taking trades from these high-confluence zones that align with the prevailing higher-timeframe trend. The embedded label also shows the exact "pips away" distance, allowing for precise limit order placement. Note: Timeframe 1 is the anchor — keep your chart at or below it (H1 by default) so zones render exactly; an on-chart warning appears if your chart timeframe is set higher.
⚙️ IMPORTANT NOTICE: This indicator is a professional-grade tool designed to identify structural confluence. It should NOT be used as a standalone signal for entering trades blindly. Always use it in conjunction with your own trading strategy, price action analysis, and strict risk management to confirm trade setups. Indicador
ICT Confluence Framework[BullByte]ICT Confluence Framework is a structural price-action engine that monitors the chart for five independent ICT-style behaviors and fires a directional setup only when several of them align inside a short structural window. Designed for intraday traders on 1m–15m charts in crypto, indices, and futures, with an auto-adapter that rescales every meaningful lookback to the chart timeframe.
Most ICT tools draw one element - order blocks, liquidity pools, BOS lines - and leave the trader to combine them mentally. This framework does the combining, scores the result against the current market regime and volatility phase, and prints one clean setup with an Entry, two Reference Levels, and an Invalidation level. The chart stays focused on what is currently relevant - no permanent boxes, no arrows on every candle, no flashing icons.
WHY THIS IS NOT A MASHUP
No public indicator is imported, wrapped, or re-skinned. Every detector is written from first principles against raw OHLCV. The five detectors share four custom layers that no single public indicator provides:
- A common confluence scoring layer with adaptive per-pattern weighting
- A regime classifier based on path efficiency
- A volatility-phase filter based on rolling ATR percentile rank
- A signal lifecycle manager with deterministic outcome resolution
The originality is in how five orthogonal behaviors are unified into one decision - not in the behaviors themselves.
THE FIVE BEHAVIORS MONITORED
1. Liquidity Sweep + Reclaim
Price violates a recent swing extreme - taking out resting stops - then closes back inside the prior range within a short window. The classic stop-hunt-then-reverse footprint.
2. Stopping Volume
A high-volume bar at a local extreme that closes with a strong rejection wick. Marks a level where aggressive flow was absorbed by passive flow.
3. Range Compression to Expansion
A bar that is the narrowest of its recent window is immediately followed by an expansion bar of meaningful size. A bullish expansion contributes to a bullish setup; a bearish expansion to a bearish one.
4. Break of Structure (BOS)
A close beyond the last confirmed pivot high or low. The script uses 3-bar right-confirmed pivots, so BOS prints with structural lag by design - this removes false breaks.
5. Order Block Mitigation
Price returns to the last opposing candle preceding a strong impulse, wicks into it, and closes back outside the zone.
Each behavior is detected independently against raw price and volume.
WHY THESE FIVE
At structural turning points markets do a small number of distinct things: they trap traders (sweep), they absorb flow (stopping volume), they release energy (compression-expansion), they confirm intent (BOS), and they retest origin (order block). When two or more of these align within the same structural window on the same side, the setup quality is materially higher than any one of them in isolation.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
Signals are stable. Detection and signal arming occur only on confirmed bar close. Once a setup prints, it does not move, redraw, or vanish on the next tick.
The script adapts to your chart. Every pattern carries a rolling reliability score calculated from its own follow-through history on the instrument and timeframe you are viewing. Follow-through is measured as maximum favorable excursion in ATR multiples over a configurable evaluation window. Patterns that have been working get more weight; patterns that have been failing get less, bounded by a user-set floor so no pattern is fully silenced.
Market regime is respected. An efficiency ratio (net displacement divided by path length) classifies the market as Trend Up, Trend Down, Range, Volatile, or Neutral. Inside this classification, BOS in a Range is soft-weighted to 0.4x and Expansion in a Volatile regime is soft-weighted to 0.5x. Counter-trend setups inside a strong trend are weighted down to 0.5x but still allowed.
Volatility phase aware. The current ATR's percentile rank classifies the bar as Quiet, Normal, or Active. Active phase tightens the required pattern count by one (capped at five). Quiet and Normal use the user's setting unchanged.
Confluence decay. A residual opposing score decays linearly by 1.0 per bar with no fresh pattern activity, so a stale opposing cluster cannot block a fresh signal indefinitely. The decayed value is also reset to zero on trade closure so the post-cooldown chart starts clean.
The chart stays clean. While no trade is active, the Hunting Layer shows what the script is monitoring. The moment a signal fires, every hunting visual that did not contribute to the signal and is not contextually inside the trade's expected path is erased. Contributors and contextual zones are recolored to the signal's direction and promoted into permanent history.
CHART EXAMPLE
1.ETH/USD 15m: Bullish Alignment: Expansion + BOS. Following a sharp bearish leg into a session low near 08:00, price entered a tight compression range between approximately 10:30 and 12:00. An expansion bar then broke above the last confirmed swing high (the LH pivot at ~11:00), firing the Compression-to-Expansion and Break of Structure detectors simultaneously. The framework printed a Bullish Alignment at 2036.60 with Invalidation at 2022.77. The market has advanced through Reference Level 1 (2050.43) and is approaching Reference Level 2 (2064.27).
2.ETH/USD 15m: Bullish High-Confluence: Sweep + BOS + OB. During a Range regime under Active volatility phase (which tightened the confluence requirement to three patterns), price swept the sellside liquidity at approximately 10:30 below a confirmed swing low. After consolidation, the entry bar at approximately 13:30 mitigated a bullish Order Block and broke above the local pivot. Three patterns aligned at signal close, firing a Bullish High-Confluence setup at 2118.34 with Invalidation at 2097.19. The market is currently advancing toward Reference Level 1 (2139.49) and Reference Level 2 (2160.64
3.ETH/USD 15m: Bearish Alignment: StopVol + BOS. Following a multi-hour consolidation between approximately 10:00 and 13:00 near the 2115–2125 area, price rejected the consolidation high with a high-volume bar at approximately 13:00, then broke below the local pivot. Stopping Volume and Break of Structure aligned on the same bar in a Volatile regime, firing a Bearish Alignment at 2110.89 with Invalidation at 2133.24. The setup is currently in progress, advancing toward Reference Level 1 (2088.54) and Reference Level 2 (2066.18), with a large sellside liquidity pool sitting in the path.
HOW TO READ THE OUTPUT
When a setup fires you will see four horizontal levels with right-side labels:
ENTRY (solid line, signal-direction color)
The closing price of the signal bar.
REFERENCE LEVEL 1 (dashed line, reference color)
Placed at 1R by default. Informational only - the setup does not close here. Useful for partial-exit planning or scaling.
REFERENCE LEVEL 2 (dashed line, reference color)
Placed at 2R by default. Reaching this level closes the setup as a success.
INVALIDATION (dotted line, invalidation color)
Placed at 3 ATR from entry by default. Reaching this level closes the setup as a failure.
Outcome and historical record
The setup closes when either Reference Level 2 or Invalidation is reached intrabar. Outcome is detected on the bar's high/low. When a single bar's range spans both levels, the setup closes on that bar; the script does not assume intrabar order, so the user should treat such ambiguous closures cautiously when reviewing historical results.
When the trade closes, right-side labels and connectors are removed and the four lines freeze at the closure bar. The signal label at the firing bar remains as a permanent record. To keep object counts within TradingView limits on long histories, the script retains the most recent 400 signal labels and the most recent 400 closed-trade lines; older items are recycled automatically.
COOLDOWN
After any trade closes, the script waits a configurable number of bars before arming the next setup. Prevents back-to-back firing on noisy moves.
THE DASHBOARD
A 9-row status panel reports:
Regime - Trend Up, Trend Down, Range, Volatile, or Neutral.
Phase - Quiet, Normal, or Active.
Pattern rows - for each of the five behaviors: rolling Activity count and a Low / Medium / High Emphasis rating based on recent follow-through reliability on this chart.
Patterns Required - the integer minimum that must align for a signal to fire on the current bar. Equal to your "Minimum Patterns Required" input in Quiet and Normal phases; tightened by one (capped at five) in Active phase.
Status - Ready, Cooldown, or Signal Active.
THE HUNTING LAYER
Drawn while no trade is active and the script is hunting for confluence:
Buyside Liquidity zones - blue boxes above swing highs.
Sellside Liquidity zones - teal boxes below swing lows.
Bullish Order Blocks - teal boxes at the last bearish candle before a strong bullish impulse.
Bearish Order Blocks - red boxes at the last bullish candle before a strong bearish impulse.
Compression bars - amber boxes on narrow-range candles.
Stopping Volume markers - amber triangles at high-volume rejection candles at local extremes.
BOS labels - text labels at confirmed structural breaks, centered on the broken level.
Sweep markers - text labels at the bar where price violated a confirmed pivot extreme, marking where liquidity was taken.
Reclaim labels - text labels at the bar where price closed back inside the prior range, confirming the sweep. Together with the Sweep marker, these tell the complete two-event Sweep+Reclaim story.
HH / HL / LH / LL pivot labels - market structure narration. Pivots are independent of the BOS module switch and are shown whenever the pivot toggle is enabled.
Duplicate BOS, Sweep, and Reclaim markers at the same price level within a recent window are automatically suppressed. Each confirmed pivot can be swept and reclaimed at most once until a new pivot forms.
At signal fire
Each active hunting item is evaluated:
- If its pattern type contributed to the signal, it is recolored to the signal's direction and promoted to history.
- If it is a liquidity zone or order block sitting inside the trade's expected path AND structurally aligned with the trade, it is promoted as context.
- Everything else is erased instantly.
At signal fire, BOS and Reclaim markers are explicitly drawn so every fired setup carries its structural anchor. The Reclaim marker is guaranteed when the Sweep pattern contributed; the BOS marker is drawn when BOS contributed and no recent BOS marker exists at the same level.
TIMEFRAME GUIDANCE
1m and 3m - high-frequency scalping on liquid pairs (BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT, NQ, ES).
5m and 15m - intraday swing entries on the same instruments and other liquid markets.
30m and above - functional but signal frequency drops noticeably; suitable for positional approaches.
The Auto-Calibrate by Timeframe input automatically scales swing lookback, ATR length, volume lookback, sweep window, stopping-volume percentile, and compression lookback. Disable only for full manual control.
HOW TO USE IT
1. Load on a clean chart. Leave Auto-Calibrate enabled.
2. Watch the Hunting Layer to see what the script is monitoring.
3. Wait for a signal label to print at bar close. The label text lists the contributing patterns.
4. The four levels appear automatically.
5. The setup auto-closes when Reference Level 2 or Invalidation is reached. After cooldown, hunting resumes.
INPUTS GUIDE
Auto-Calibrate by Timeframe - master switch that scales all lookbacks to the chart timeframe.
Pattern Modules - enable or disable any of the five detectors individually.
Core Parameters - manual swing, ATR, and volume lookbacks (used when Auto-Calibrate is OFF).
Pattern Tuning - per-pattern sensitivity controls.
Adaptive Learning - evaluation window, follow-through threshold in ATR multiples, learning memory, and minimum emphasis floor.
Regime Filter - toggle regime awareness and set its lookback.
Volatility Phase - toggle phase-based threshold tightening and set its lookback.
Confluence Decay - toggle linear decay of residual opposing scores.
Output - Quiet Mode (only High-Confluence tier fires), minimum patterns required, cooldown bars, RR for Reference Levels 1 and 2, Invalidation distance in ATR multiples, and label offset from the last bar.
Visual - color tones for bullish, bearish, reference, invalidation, and label background.
ICT Hunting Layer - individual toggles and color controls for every visual element and the legend panel.
ALERTS
Six alert conditions cover every tier and direction combination:
- Bullish High-Confluence
- Bearish High-Confluence
- Bullish Alignment
- Bearish Alignment
- Bullish Watch
- Bearish Watch
Add through the standard TradingView alert dialog.
TECHNICAL NOTES
- All pattern detection and signal arming occur on confirmed bar close. No intrabar fires, no repaint.
- No request.security() calls. No higher-timeframe lookups. No lookahead modifiers. No future leakage.
- Pivots use 3-bar right confirmation - structural lag is intentional and removes false breaks.
- The script uses one active trade slot at a time. New setups can only arm after the current one closes and cooldown expires.
- Same-bar conflict between Reference Level 2 and Invalidation resolves conservatively as invalidation. This is the honest interpretation when intrabar order is unknown.
- Object retention is bounded: 400 signal labels, 400 closed-trade lines, 400 hunting-history items. Adaptive learning memory is configurable up to 1000 bars per pattern.
WHAT THIS SCRIPT IS NOT
- Not a strategy. It does not place trades or compute P&L.
- Not a holy grail. No indicator is.
- Not a black box. Every threshold and lookback is exposed as an input.
- Not predictive. It reacts to confirmed structural events at bar close.

Market Structure & LiquidityMARKET STRUCTURE & LIQUIDITY — Calibrated Zones, Premium/Discount & Setup Grade
================================================================================
WHAT THIS SCRIPT IS
A single price-action framework that maps the structural read of a chart and
then measures it. It plots market structure (break of structure and change of
character), supply/demand order blocks, fair value gaps, resting liquidity
(equal highs and lows) and the sweeps that take it, premium/discount with an
optimal-entry band, a higher-timeframe bias, and a rolling volume profile. On
top of those objects it does three things most structure tools do not: it
validates every structure break, it scores each zone by confluence and quality,
and it reports — using past data on the current symbol only — how often each
zone type has actually been respected, with statistical confidence intervals.
The levels are the raw material; the framework adds a measured read of which
ones to trust.
WHY THE COMPONENTS ARE COMBINED (how the parts work together)
These are not independent indicators bolted together. They describe one process
— how large participants build positions: rest liquidity, take it, displace
price, and leave an inefficiency behind — and each layer covers a blind spot of
the others, feeding one combined decision:
- Market structure (swing and internal) gives trend context and the moment it
shifts. Because raw break detection is noisy, a break is only counted when it
shows real displacement (range expansion with body, or a volatility
compression followed by a release), closes beyond the level with body rather
than leaving a rejection wick, and breaks a tight, recent (quality) pivot.
This removes most false breaks before anything else is drawn.
- Regime context (efficiency ratio + ADX + volatility clustering + a whipsaw
score) conditions how far to trust a read: continuation breaks are reliable in
a trending regime, reversals are more reliable in a range, and a choppy regime
weights everything down. Structure on its own cannot tell you this.
- Liquidity (equal highs/lows, sweeps, and inducement) marks where stops rest
and the moment they are taken — the trigger that typically precedes a real
move, and the event that validates a nearby zone.
- Order blocks and fair value gaps mark the origin of the displacement and the
inefficiency price tends to revisit. A zone that forms on a sweep, on a
high-volume node, in the correct half of the range scores highest — which is
exactly why liquidity, the volume profile and premium/discount all feed the
zone score rather than living in separate panes.
- Volume profile (point of control, high- and low-volume nodes, and untested
"naked" points of control) tells you whether a zone sits on acceptance (tends
to hold) or on a thin gap (tends to slice), and marks magnet levels price is
drawn back toward.
- Premium/discount and the OTE band frame every zone as expensive or cheap
relative to the current dealing range, so a long in discount and a short in
premium are favoured.
- The confluence engine and setup grade fuse structure direction, a recent
sweep, zone quality, node type, premium/discount alignment, higher-timeframe
bias and a momentum-divergence confirmation into one A/B/C read per zone, so
the chart self-prioritises instead of leaving you to weigh eight things by eye.
- Calibration measures, on past bars only, how often each zone type produced a
meaningful reaction on the current symbol, and reports it with Wilson
confidence intervals — so reliability is earned per instrument, not assumed.
In one sentence: structure says direction, regime says whether to believe it,
liquidity says when, the zones say where, premium/discount says whether it is
worth it, the grade fuses them, and the calibration keeps the whole thing honest.
HOW IT WORKS (mechanics, briefly)
Pivots use the standard left/right confirmation, so structure is non-repainting:
a break is only labelled after the pivot is confirmed and the close validates it.
Order blocks anchor to the last opposing candle before a validated break, are
scored on formation, and are re-scored for confluence on the most recent bar.
Calibration records, the first time a zone is tagged, whether price then travels
a chosen ATR multiple in the zone's direction within a fixed horizon, and
aggregates that into the respect rate shown on the dashboard. All thresholds are
ATR-relative, so nothing is tied to a particular price scale.
HOW TO USE IT
1. Read the dashboard headline: the SETUP grade and the structure bias.
2. Favour higher-grade setups — a validated structure direction, a recent sweep,
a fresh high-quality zone sitting on a volume node, in discount for longs or
premium for shorts, with higher-timeframe agreement.
3. Use the OTE band for entry context and an opposing fair value gap as a
logical target.
4. Check the respect rows. If order blocks or fair value gaps rarely hold on this
symbol, weight the read down accordingly.
5. Treat everything as descriptive context, not a signal to act on.
USE ON ANY MARKET
The High / Low / Close source inputs let you drive structure, liquidity and
premium/discount from any series (standard candles, Heikin-Ashi, or another
source), so the framework applies to stocks, indices, futures, forex and crypto.
A volume-borrow input supplies volume for symbols that report none.
WHAT MAKES IT ORIGINAL
The contribution is the closed loop, not the individual objects, which are
common to price-action analysis. Here, validated structure and liquidity feed a
per-zone confluence and quality score and a single setup grade, and a past-only
calibration tracker reports each zone type's actual respect rate on the current
symbol with confidence intervals. That turns a set of drawing tools into a
measured, self-prioritising read.
SETTINGS WORTH KNOWING
- Break Validation: turn displacement, anti-wick and pivot-quality gates on/off
and tune their strictness to make structure more or less selective.
- Volume Profile / Nodes: bins, window and HVN/LVN percentiles control node
tagging; naked POC tracking is session-based and turns itself off when the
chart is not intraday.
- Confluence & Setup Grade: cluster tolerance controls how close levels must be
to count as confluent.
- Calibration: horizon and minimum reaction define what counts as a "respected"
zone.
- Visuals: theme is auto/dark/light; grade-weighted opacity makes strong zones
bold and weak ones faint; the identity strip shows the script name, symbol and
timeframe.
LIMITATIONS
Pivots confirm after the right-bars lag, so forming structure is not drawn until
confirmed. Volume layers require real or borrowed volume. Calibration describes
past behaviour only — it is not a backtest and not a probability of future
results. Every read is probabilistic context, never a certainty.
DISCLAIMER
This is a study/indicator for chart analysis and education only. It is not a
strategy, not a recommendation, and not financial advice. It places no orders
and guarantees no outcome. Markets carry risk, and the past behaviour of a level
does not assure its future behaviour. Do your own research and manage your own
risk.

Session Edge Profiler | Flux ChartsGENERAL OVERVIEW:
The Session Edge Profiler is a statistical dashboard indicator that profiles up to five configurable trading sessions (Asia, London, NY AM, NY Lunch, NY PM by default) across the available completed trading days loaded on the chart. The indicator records each session's range, volume, directional outcome, and smart money structure (Fair Value Gaps, swing breaks, higher highs, lower lows) on every completed day, then surfaces the resulting statistics in a configurable on-chart dashboard with progress bars and best value markers.
For every metric, the indicator filters history by the selected weekdays. Range-based metrics are normalized against the previous daily ATR for cross-volatility comparison, while volume, directional, extreme, and structure metrics are calculated directly from completed session records. The indicator also computes percentile rankings of the current session range against its historical distribution. Session boxes can be plotted for visual reference, and a live label tracks the active session's running range against its historical average and percentile rank in real time. The indicator is statistical, session based, dashboard driven, and includes one alert condition for sessions exceeding the 90th percentile of their historical range distribution.
WHAT IS THE THEORY BEHIND THE INDICATOR?:
Markets do not move uniformly across the day. Each trading session carries different participant types, different volume profiles, and different structural behaviors. The Asia session tends to be range bound and accumulative. The London session frequently sweeps overnight liquidity. NY AM often produces the largest expansions of the day. NY Lunch is typically the lowest volume window. NY PM frequently reverses or extends NY AM moves into the close.
These tendencies are widely cited but rarely measured per instrument. The Session Edge Profiler quantifies them. By recording per session statistics across the historical window available on the chart, and by filtering by selected weekdays, the indicator builds an empirical profile of how each session has actually behaved on a specific symbol rather than relying on generalized assumptions. The result is a session level statistical profile that can be compared against the current session in real time, identifying when a given session is behaving unusually large, unusually quiet, or consistent with its historical edge.

SESSION TRACKING AND RANGE BOXES:
🔹What is Session Tracking?
Session Tracking is the foundation of the indicator. Five configurable session windows are monitored on every bar. When price enters a session window, the indicator opens an active tracking object that records the session's high, low, open price, total volume, and structural events. When price leaves the session window, the active object is closed and its values are committed to the historical record for that session.
🔹Why is Session Tracking important?
Every statistic computed by the indicator depends on accurately segmenting the trading day into sessions. Without a reliable session lifecycle, range comparisons, HOD/LOD attribution, volume share, and structure counts would be inconsistent. The session lifecycle also defines what gets drawn on the chart: the live range box for the current session and, optionally, persistent boxes for historical sessions.
🔹How is Session Tracking detected and calculated?
Every bar is checked against the configured session time windows in New York time. The moment price enters a session window, a new session opens: the session's high, low, open, and volume start fresh, and the FVG, swing break, HH, and LL counters reset to zero. While the session is active, the high updates to the running maximum, the low updates to the running minimum, and volume accumulates with each new bar. When price leaves the session window, the session is closed: the final high, low, open, close, and volume are committed and the session is marked complete for the day.
A trading day boundary is determined by shifting time forward by 6 hours and comparing the resulting calendar date in New York time. This shift causes a new day to register at 18:00 NY time, aligning the trading day with the start of the Asia session at 19:00 NY. When a new trading day begins, the completed session statistics from the previous day are added to each session's history along with the weekday they were recorded on, the daily fields reset, and a new tracking cycle begins.

STATISTICAL DASHBOARD:
🔹What is the Statistical Dashboard?
The Statistical Dashboard is a configurable table that summarizes the historical statistical profile of every enabled session. Rows correspond to metrics. Columns correspond to sessions. Each cell shows the metric value for that session, optionally rendered with a unicode progress bar and a star marker (★) for the session with the highest value on metrics where "highest" is the meaningful target.
🔹Why is the Statistical Dashboard important?
The dashboard is where the indicator's measurements surface. Rather than requiring a trader to scroll through chart history and visually estimate session behavior, the dashboard reduces the entire weekday filtered history of every session to a compact table of directly comparable numbers. The header line shows the active weekday filter and the maximum number of historical days used in any cell, providing immediate context for the statistical sample size.
🔹How is the Statistical Dashboard calculated?
On the most recent bar of the chart, the indicator reviews each enabled session's stored history. For every past session, it checks whether the weekday it was recorded on is included in the selected weekday filter. If yes, the session contributes to the running totals: range sums, volume sums, HOD/LOD counts, bull counts, continuation counts, FVG counts, swing break counts, HH counts, LL counts, and volume share. After the review, totals are converted to averages or percentages and written to the dashboard cells.
Best value markers are computed by tracking the maximum value across all enabled sessions for the metrics where "highest" is the intended target: Avg Range, HOD %, LOD %, Avg FVGs, and FVG Survival %. For metrics where directional bias matters (Bull %, Continuation %) or where higher is not strictly better (Vol Share %, Avg Swing Breaks, Avg HH, Avg LL), no best marker is shown.

ATR NORMALIZED RANGE STATISTICS:
🔹What is ATR Normalized Range?
The Avg Range (ATR%) metric expresses each session's average range as a percentage of the daily Average True Range. A value of 45% means the session, on average, covered 45% of a full day's ATR.
🔹Why is ATR Normalized Range important?
Raw range values cannot be compared across instruments or across volatility regimes. A 200 point range means very different things in calm versus volatile markets. Normalizing by daily ATR removes that distortion: the resulting percentage is directly comparable between sessions, between symbols, and between months of history.
🔹How is ATR Normalized Range calculated?
For each completed session, the raw range (session high minus session low) is divided by the daily ATR value of the previous completed day. The daily ATR uses a configurable length (default 14) and is always read from the previous daily bar, which means the value is fixed for the entire current trading day and never repaints. The session's normalized range is stored alongside its weekday in the history. When the dashboard renders, the indicator averages all normalized ranges from sessions whose weekday passes the filter, then multiplies by 100 to produce the displayed percentage.
🔹What is Today Percentile?
Today Percentile expresses where the current session's live range sits within the historical distribution of that same session's past ranges. The comparison stays within the session: today's London is compared only against past Londons, today's NY AM only against past NY AMs, and so on, all filtered by the selected weekdays. A value of 80 means the live range is larger than 80% of past occurrences of the same session on those weekdays.
🔹How is Today Percentile calculated?
For each enabled session, the indicator computes the current normalized range (current session range divided by daily ATR). It then walks through that session's own past history, counting how many past sessions have a normalized range less than or equal to the current value, while skipping any past session whose weekday is not enabled in the filter. The percentile is the percentage of qualifying past sessions at or below the current value.
The cell color reflects the tier: at or above 75 uses the High color, at or below 25 uses the Low color, otherwise the Mid color. The numeric value is rendered with an ordinal suffix (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and so on) for readability, and the progress bar segments scale from 0 to 100.
🔹Settings:Filters Group
◇ ATR Length: Lookback for the daily ATR used in normalization. Range: 5 to 50. Default: 14.
DAILY EXTREMES TRACKING:
🔹What are HOD % and LOD %?
HOD % measures how often a given session contained the day's highest price. LOD % measures how often it contained the day's lowest price. Both are expressed as a percentage of the total weekday filtered days in history.
🔹Why are HOD/LOD statistics important?
Knowing which session historically sets the daily extreme on a given instrument helps frame intraday liquidity expectations. A session with a high HOD % is the session that most frequently posts the day's selling extreme. A session with a high LOD % most frequently posts the day's buying extreme. On many instruments NY AM dominates both, but the ratio shifts by symbol and by weekday, which is why measuring rather than assuming is useful.
🔹How are HOD % and LOD % calculated?
While the trading day is in progress, the indicator continuously tracks the day's running high and running low across all bars, not just within session windows. When a new trading day begins, every completed session from the previous day is checked: if the session's recorded high matches the day's high, that session is tagged as the HOD session; if its low matches the day's low, it is tagged as the LOD session. These tags are stored with the session in history. When the dashboard renders, it counts how many sessions in the weekday filtered history carry each tag and converts those counts to percentages. The session with the highest HOD % across all enabled sessions receives a star marker, and the same applies to LOD %.
DIRECTIONAL STATISTICS:
🔹What are Bull % and Continuation %?
Bull % is the percentage of historical sessions that closed higher than they opened. Continuation % is the percentage of historical sessions whose direction matched the previous occurrence of the same session.
🔹Why are directional statistics important?
Bull % captures the session's directional skew. A session with Bull % consistently above 60% on a particular instrument and weekday set has a measurable upward tendency. Continuation % captures the session's persistence: a high continuation rate means the session frequently extends the previous day's same session direction, while a low rate suggests the session tends to reverse the prior day's bias.
🔹How are Bull % and Continuation % calculated?
For each completed session, Bull is true when the session's close (the chart close at the bar where the session ended) exceeds its open. Continuation is true when the previous occurrence of the same session was bullish in the same direction (both bullish or both bearish). The very first occurrence in history has no previous reference and is excluded from the continuation calculation. The dashboard divides the bullish session count by the total session count for Bull %, and the matched continuation count by the continuation eligible count for Continuation %.
No best value marker is shown for either metric, since "highest" is not inherently better: directional bias and continuation are interpretive measurements rather than competitive ones across sessions.
VOLUME PROFILING:
🔹What is Volume Profiling?
The indicator tracks two volume metrics per session: Vol Share % (the session's average share of total daily volume) and Avg Vol (the session's average absolute volume).
🔹Why is Volume Profiling important?
Volume distribution across the day reveals participant activity. Sessions that historically account for a disproportionate share of daily volume are the sessions where flow is most concentrated. Sessions with low volume share (typically NY Lunch) are statistical low conviction windows where moves are more likely to be lower quality.
🔹How is Volume Profiling calculated?
While each session is active, the indicator accumulates bar volume into the session's running total. When the trading day rolls over, total day volume is computed as the sum of all completed session volumes for that day. Each session's Vol Share is then computed as its session volume divided by total day volume, multiplied by 100, and saved into the session's history alongside the absolute volume. When the dashboard renders, Avg Vol is the simple weekday filtered mean of recorded session volumes, and Vol Share % is averaged across the weekday filtered history.
SMART MONEY STRUCTURE ANALYTICS:
🔹What are the Smart Money metrics?
The Smart Money section of the dashboard surfaces four structural counters per session:
◇ Avg FVGs: average number of Fair Value Gaps formed during the session.
◇ Avg Swing Breaks: average instances where the close pierces a previously confirmed pivot high or pivot low.
◇ FVG Survival %: percentage of FVGs that were not invalidated within the same session in which they formed.
◇ Avg HH and Avg LL: average count of new higher highs and lower lows in pivot structure during the session.
🔹Why are Smart Money metrics important?
These metrics quantify the structural activity of each session. High FVG counts indicate aggressive displacement and gap creation. High Swing Break counts indicate liquidity sweeps and structural inflection. FVG Survival measures how often gaps formed during the session are respected (not immediately filled in the opposite direction), giving a session level reliability score for the FVG concept. HH and LL counts profile each session's tendency to extend structure in one direction versus the other.
🔹How are Smart Money metrics calculated?
A Fair Value Gap is detected as a 3 bar pattern: a bullish FVG forms when the current bar's low sits above the high from two bars ago, and a bearish FVG forms when the current bar's high sits below the low from two bars ago. Whenever an FVG forms during an active session, the session's FVG counter increments and the gap level (the high from two bars ago for a bullish FVG, the low from two bars ago for a bearish FVG) is added to a list of active gaps for that session, along with its direction.
On every later bar within the same session, the indicator checks each active gap. If price closes below a bullish FVG's level, or closes above a bearish FVG's level, the gap is treated as invalidated and removed from the active list, and the session's invalidation counter increments. At the end of the session, FVG Survival % is computed as the count of total FVGs minus invalidated FVGs, divided by total FVGs, expressed as a percentage. The cell is color coded by tier: at or above 70 uses High, at or above 40 uses Mid, otherwise Low.
Swing breaks use a configurable pivot strength (default 5 bars on each side). When a pivot high confirms and price subsequently closes above that pivot level, a bullish swing break fires and the pivot is consumed (cleared from active tracking). The same applies symmetrically for pivot lows. Each break increments the active session's Swing Break counter.
HH and LL counts use the same pivot detection. When a new pivot high confirms with a level greater than the session's previous tracked pivot high, the session's HH counter increments. When a new pivot low confirms with a level less than the session's previous tracked pivot low, the LL counter increments.
🔹Settings: Filters Group
◇ Pivot Strength: Bars on each side required to confirm a pivot high or pivot low for the swing break and HH/LL calculations. Range: 2 to 20. Default: 5. Higher values produce fewer, more significant pivots; lower values produce more frequent, noisier pivots.
ACTIVE SESSION LIVE LABEL:
🔹What is the Active Session Live Label?
A floating label that appears next to the most recent bar of the active session, displaying live statistics for the session currently in progress.
🔹Why is the Active Session Live Label important?
The dashboard summarizes completed historical sessions. The live label answers a different question: how does the session that is currently developing compare to history, right now? It allows a trader to see, mid session, whether the current session is tracking above, near, or below its average range and what percentile it currently occupies, without waiting for the session to close.
🔹How is the Active Session Live Label calculated?
The label content includes the session name, the live range (current session high minus current session low), the ratio of the live normalized range to the historical average normalized range expressed as a percentage, and the current percentile. The percentile is computed by iterating the session's weekday filtered history and counting how many records have a normalized range at or below the live value.
The label position updates every bar to track the right edge of the current session at its current high. When the session ends, the label is deleted.
🔹Settings
◇ Show Active Session Stats: Toggle for the label.
◇ Label Size: Sets text size. Options: Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, Huge.
WEEKDAY FILTERING:
🔹What is Weekday Filtering?
A set of seven toggles (Sunday through Saturday) that determines which weekdays contribute to every statistic on the dashboard, the live label, and the alert condition.
🔹Why is Weekday Filtering important?
Session behavior is not uniform across the week. Monday open behavior differs from midweek behavior. Friday afternoon often shows reduced participation. By filtering history to only the selected weekdays, traders can profile each session under conditions that match the current trading day, rather than averaging in unrelated days.
🔹How is Weekday Filtering applied?
Each session in history is tagged with the weekday it was recorded on. Every calculation in the dashboard, the live label, and the alert checks that weekday against the user's selection and skips any session whose weekday is not enabled. The dashboard header line displays a compact label of the active filter: "All" when every weekday is enabled, "Weekdays" when only Monday through Friday are enabled, or a custom combination such as "M/Tu/W" otherwise. The header also shows the largest number of sessions any column was able to use after filtering, which serves as the sample size indicator.
🔹Settings: Filters Group
◇ Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat: Individual toggles. Defaults: Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri enabled; Sun and Sat disabled.
ALERTS:
🔹What alerts are available?
A single alert condition is provided:
◇ Range > 90th Percentile: Fires when an active session's current normalized range exceeds the 90th percentile of its weekday filtered historical normalized range distribution.
🔹When does it fire?
On every bar where at least one enabled, active session has a current normalized range above which 90% of its history sits. The alert fires once per qualifying bar, allowing traders to be notified when a session is in the process of becoming statistically large relative to its own history.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
◇ All session times are evaluated in New York time regardless of the chart's display timezone. Adjust session times if profiling instruments where session timing conventions differ from the defaults.
◇ Trading day boundaries are anchored to 18:00 NY time (the 6 hour shift before midnight) so that the Asia session opens at the start of each new trading day. This is the convention used for HOD/LOD attribution and for pushing completed session records to history.
◇ Daily ATR is always read from the previous completed daily bar. This means the value used for normalization is fixed for the current trading day and does not repaint as new bars print, while still giving the live percentile calculations a stable reference.
◇ The session history for each session is built progressively as the chart loads. Sessions on the very first day on the chart cannot contribute to continuation statistics because no earlier occurrence of the same session exists to compare against.
◇ Best value markers (★) are shown only on metrics where "highest" is the meaningful target: Avg Range, HOD %, LOD %, Avg FVGs, and FVG Survival %. Other metrics intentionally omit the marker.
◇ FVG Survival counts gaps that survive to the end of the session in which they formed. A gap that survives the session but is invalidated on a later day is still counted as survived for the session that created it.
UNIQUENESS:
The Session Edge Profiler distinguishes itself from common session indicators in several ways. Most session tools plot boxes and stop there, while this indicator extends session tracking into a full statistical profile with thirteen configurable metrics per session, reducing the entire history of every session to a single, scannable table. Range comparisons use ATR normalization rather than raw point values, making the dashboard meaningful across volatility regimes and instruments without per chart recalibration, and percentile ranking of the live session against history provides a single number answer to a question many traders ask intuitively: is this session unusually large or unusually small for this time and this weekday? FVG and swing break tracking are integrated into the session profile rather than treated as separate indicators, allowing direct comparison of which session produces the most structural activity and how reliable that structure tends to be on a given instrument. FVG Survival % quantifies a concept that is rarely measured anywhere else: how often each session's FVGs actually hold within their own session, converting a qualitative idea into a session level reliability score. Weekday filtering applies uniformly to every statistic on the dashboard, the live label, and the alert, allowing traders to profile sessions only on days that match the current trading day rather than diluting the sample with unrelated weekdays. Best value markers and progress bars make the dashboard scannable at a glance, with the strongest session per metric immediately visible without parsing numbers. Finally, the active session live label provides real time positional context that complements the historical dashboard: the dashboard answers what a session usually does, while the label answers what the session is doing right now, with both views driven by the same underlying statistical model.

BOS & CHoCHA clean, no-nonsense market structure indicator that automatically detects Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) on any asset and any timeframe.
How it works
The script tracks swing highs and lows using pivot detection. When price breaks the last swing level, it's labeled as:
BOS — break in the direction of the current trend (continuation)
CHoCH — break against the current trend (potential reversal)
Since the logic is fully relative (pivot-based, no fixed values), it behaves identically on crypto, forex, indices, or stocks — from 1-minute charts to weekly.
Features
- BOS & CHoCH detection with clear on-chart labels
- Break confirmation mode: Close (filters fakeouts) or Wick
- Dotted extension of unbroken swing highs/lows — these act as resting liquidity targets
- Optional trend background & bar coloring
- Alerts for all four events (Bullish/Bearish BOS & CHoCH)
- Non-repainting: once printed, labels never change
Settings
Swing Length — higher values = only major structure, lower = more granular
Break Confirmation — Close is recommended to avoid wick fakeouts
Market structure is the foundation of any SMC or orderflow-based approach. Use CHoCH as an early warning for trend shifts and BOS as confirmation of continuation ideally combined with your own confluence (liquidity sweeps, volume, higher timeframe bias). Indicador
ICT ADR Levels - Judas x Daily RangeThis indicator provides a clean and flexible way to monitor Average Daily Range (ADR) with two distinct calculation modes, along with visual levels and a detailed historical table.
Calculation Modes
- Classic Mode: Uses the standard daily candle range (high minus low of regular daily bars). This is the traditional daily range calculation.
- Midnight Mode: Calculates the daily range from midnight to midnight in America/New_York time. This provides a true calendar-day range independent of session opens.
You can switch between the two modes instantly using the dropdown in the settings. All table values, percentages, and 80% ADR levels update dynamically based on the selected mode.
The indicator plots the following levels from a session anchor point:
- Full ADR (above and below)
- 1/3 ADR (Judas levels)
- 80% ADR measured from the current daily high and low (two lines) - user selectable %
All lines are dynamically managed to avoid duplication and update cleanly as new sessions begin. Labels on the right side display price levels and can be toggled on or off.
Historical Table
A customizable table displays the following information for the selected number of days:
- Day or Date (user selectable)
- 5-Day ADR value for each historical day
- 80% of that day's 5-Day ADR
- Actual daily Range
- Percentage of the 5-Day ADR reached that day
The current/live row shows Today's Range compared against the active 5-Day ADR, including the percentage reached and the 80% target level. The table supports multiple sizes and positions.
Key Features
- Toggle between Classic and Midnight ADR calculations
- 80% ADR levels drawn from daily high and low
- Clean, non-duplicating horizontal lines and labels
- Historical data table with day/date, ADR, 80% ADR, Range, and percentage columns
- Adjustable styling, colors, text size, and visibility for all elements
- Option to plot levels from a session anchor or current price
This tool is designed for traders who want precise ADR-based levels with the flexibility to choose between standard daily ranges and strict midnight-to-midnight calculations. Indicador

Strong PDH PDL Zones | ProjectSyndicateStrong PDH PDL Zones
Strong PDH PDL Zones power-ranks the daily levels that price keeps reacting to. For every session it plots the prior day's High, Low, and Golden Pocket (the 50–61.8% retracement of the previous day's range) as clean equal-height zones, then scores each High and Low 0–10 from real, measurable level quality — so you instantly know which previous-day level is likely to hold and which is likely to break. It also projects Sweep Trap and Price Breakout lines above PDH and below PDL to frame liquidity grabs and genuine breakouts.
🎯 Power-Ranking System (0–10) — every PDH and PDL earns a live grade from five sign-stable, data-validated factors: prior-day volume vs its baseline, range significance vs ADR, the rejection candle (how far price closed off the extreme), distance from round numbers (levels sitting on round numbers get swept more, so they score lower), and isolation (levels clustered with recent days' extremes break more). The model was prototyped and validated across FX and metals datasets — low-scored levels reacted far less often than high-scored ones, so the number reflects genuine edge, not decoration.
🏷️ In-Zone Strength Labels — each level carries its grade inside the band: stars, the X.X/10 score, and a tier (FORMING → WEAK → MODERATE → STRONG → ELITE). Quality reads instantly without a separate panel.
📐 Previous Day Golden Pocket — the prior session's 50–61.8% fib zone, plotted automatically as the high-probability mean-reversion pocket where intraday pullbacks so often stall.
🚧 Sweep Trap & Price Breakout Lines — two dashed levels above the PDH and two below the PDL. The amber Sweep Trap sits just beyond the level to mark the stop-hunt / liquidity-grab zone; the red Price Breakout sits further out to mark where a move becomes a real breakout rather than a wick. Both are fully offset-adjustable in ATR terms.
⚙️ Uniform ATR Zone Height — every zone (High, Low, Golden Pocket) is normalized to one identical ATR-based thickness, centered on its level, for a clean and consistent look on any instrument or timeframe.
🎨 Strength-Shaded Fill — stronger levels render sharper and more opaque while weak ones stay faint, so the chart shows which levels carry weight before you even read the score.
🧹 Score Filter — hide every level below a score threshold so the chart only carries the levels that earned their place.
🔒 Non-Repainting — each day's levels and scores lock in from the completed prior session and never change intraday. Zones span exactly one session and close cleanly at the day boundary — no bleed into the next session.
🔔 Native Alerts — touch alerts for the PDH zone, PDL zone, and Golden Pocket, plus dedicated alerts for touches of STRONG (≥7/10) PDH and PDL levels, so you never miss a high-quality interaction.
🔧 Fully Customizable — scoring weights and normalizers, zone height, golden-pocket fib bounds, sweep/breakout offsets, colors, transparency, label text and size, and round-number step — all adjustable.
🎯 Why this is different — most "previous day high/low" tools draw three equal-weight lines and leave you to guess which one matters. This one quantifies each level from real prior-day behavior and tells you the probability-weighted answer: a STRONG/ELITE level is one to fade, a WEAK level is one that's likely to give way. The validation work behind the score even informs how you trade each level (see below).
🚀 Apply to Gold (XAUUSD), Silver, Forex, Crypto, and Indices on any intraday timeframe.
🎯 How To Trade It — Two Approaches
The score is the filter that decides which approach fits. In validation, high-scored levels rejected far more often and low-scored levels broke more often — so play them differently.
1) Break → Sweep Trap → Reversal (fade the trap) — use on STRONG / ELITE levels (≥7)
Best when the PDH or PDL is rated STRONG or ELITE — statistically these are the levels most likely to hold.
Wait for price to push through the previous-day level and tag the amber Sweep Trap line beyond it (the liquidity grab that takes stops).
Look for failure to reach or hold the red Price Breakout line — i.e. the move stalls inside the trap band and prints rejection back through the level.
Entry: on the reversal back inside the level (a close back below PDH / above PDL).
Stop: just beyond the Price Breakout line — if price reaches it, the trap thesis is wrong and it's a real breakout.
Targets: the Golden Pocket first, then the opposite previous-day level.
Use the Touch STRONG PDH/PDL alert to get notified the moment a high-grade level is being tested.
2) High-Volume Breakout → Trade With the Move — use on WEAK / MODERATE levels
Best when the level is rated WEAK or MODERATE (or formed on low prior-day volume) — these are the levels most likely to break.
Wait for a decisive break of the PDH or PDL that closes beyond the red Price Breakout line on expanding volume (not a single wick).
The Sweep Trap line being cleared and held is your confirmation that it's a genuine breakout, not a stop-hunt.
Entry: in the direction of the breakout on the close beyond the Price Breakout line (or on a retest of the broken level).
Stop: back inside the level, beyond the Golden Pocket.
Targets: measured-move / next session's range, trailing as the move extends.
A broken PDH flips to support, a broken PDL flips to resistance — the old level often becomes the retest entry.
Rule of thumb: ⭐ STRONG/ELITE → expect a reaction, trade the trap reversal. ⭐ WEAK/MODERATE on volume → expect follow-through, trade the breakout.
⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE: This indicator identifies high-probability previous-day levels and frames trap vs breakout scenarios. It should NOT be used as a standalone signal for entering trades. Always combine it with your own strategy, price-action analysis, and risk management to confirm setups. Past statistical behavior does not guarantee future results. Indicador
Market Structure (BOS / CHOCH), Advanced & ImprovedMarket Structure (BOS / CHOCH)
A clean, dual-layer market structure tool that labels Break of Structure and Change of Character from a single, internally consistent trend engine, then projects the resting liquidity those swings leave behind.
The core idea
BOS and CHOCH are the same break. What separates them is direction relative to the current trend, so this script tracks one trend state and derives the label from it:
BOS (Break of Structure) : price breaks a swing level in the direction of the trend. Continuation.
CHOCH (Change of Character) : price breaks a swing level against the trend. Reversal, and it flips the trend state.
Because both signals come from one state machine, you never get contradictory labels: a break with the trend is always BOS, a break against it is always CHOCH.
Dual-layer structure
The engine runs twice at the same time:
Swing structure (longer pivot length) : the major skeleton, drawn bold, with trailing watched-level lines and HH / HL / LH / LL swing labels.
Internal structure (shorter pivot length) : the minor continuation breaks inside each swing leg, drawn thin and faded so they read as secondary.
This lets you see a minor bullish BOS unfolding inside a major downtrend, which is the context most single-length tools miss.
Liquidity pools
Every unbroken swing high (buy-side) and swing low (sell-side) is projected to the right as a resting liquidity line, and removed the moment price wicks through it. What stays on screen is only live, untaken liquidity, the levels most likely to be targeted next.
Features
BOS / CHOCH detection with a single coherent trend state
Dual-layer swing and internal structure
Trailing lines marking the exact levels currently being watched
HH / HL / LH / LL swing labels, color coded by structural meaning
Buy-side and sell-side liquidity pools with auto removal on sweep
Top-right trend table showing the swing and internal trend state
Close or Wick break confirmation
Eight alert conditions: swing and internal, BOS and CHOCH, bullish and bearish
Inputs
Swing length and Internal length : pivot lookback for each layer. Lower values catch more structure, higher values show only major moves.
Break confirmation : Close requires a close beyond the level, Wick accepts any wick beyond it.
Toggles for BOS, CHOCH, active levels, swing labels, liquidity, internal layer and the trend table.
How to use
Trade with the swing trend, use internal CHOCH for early reversal warnings and internal BOS for continuation entries.
Watch the liquidity pools as targets, a sweep of one followed by a CHOCH in the opposite direction is a classic reversal setup.
Tune the swing length to your timeframe so the major structure matches the moves you actually trade.
Notes
Swing pivots confirm a fixed number of bars after they print, which is inherent to all structure tools and not repainting. On the live, unclosed bar a break can update until the bar closes, so set alerts to "Once Per Bar Close" for confirmed signals.

Strong Geometric Patterns Engine | ProjectSyndicateStrong Geometric Patterns Engine automatically detects, validates, and grades nine classic chart patterns using an objective, non-repainting geometry engine. It confirms every signal on a breakout close, projects adaptive measured-move take-profit and structural stop-loss levels scaled to Average Daily Range (ADR), scores each setup 0–10 for quality, and presents a full statistical breakdown on a non-intrusive dashboard to provide a quantifiable edge.
🧠 9-Pattern Geometric Detection — identifies Head & Shoulders, Inverse Head & Shoulders, Double Top, Double Bottom, Ascending / Descending / Symmetrical Triangles, and Rising / Falling Wedges from a non-repainting confirmed-pivot engine, so signals are stable and never redraawn after the fact.
🔒 Breakout-Confirmed, Non-Repainting — a valid shape only sets a pending setup; the signal fires exclusively when price closes through the pattern's trigger level, eliminating the subjective, repainting behaviour of standard ZigZag and pattern tools.
🎯 ADR-Adaptive Measured-Move TP/SL — TP1, TP2, and SL are derived from the pattern's own projected height (a true measured move), bounded by a percentage of the 10-day ADR, so risk and targets adapt automatically to any asset's volatility instead of using fixed points.
⭐ 0–10 Quality Scoring — every setup is graded on symmetry, convergence, and a volume confirmation bump, displayed as a star rating next to each signal so you can instantly gauge setup strength and filter for the best ones.
🎨 Direction-Matched Visuals — clean upward/downward entry markers, green bullish and red bearish labels, and crisp horizontal SL / TP1 / TP2 levels give instant visual confirmation of trade direction with no chart clutter.
📊 Full Performance Dashboard — a complete statistical overview including the real-time ADR10 value, the active/pending setup with its targets, total signals, TP1/TP2 win rates, a per-pattern breakdown across all nine pattern types, and a log of the most recent trade outcomes.
✅ Advanced Quality-Control Filters — user-configurable Pivot Length, equality/slope/convergence tolerances, min & max pattern span, measured-move bounds, and minimum bars between signals eliminate low-quality or oversized patterns and prevent over-signaling.
🔔 Comprehensive Alerts — get alerted the moment a new pattern is detected (pending), when price is approaching the trigger, when a setup confirms on the breakout, or only on strong high-score patterns. Available as a single rich alert() message (symbol, timeframe, trigger, invalidation, entry, SL, TP1, TP2, quality) for automation, plus six individually selectable named alert conditions.
🔧 Fully Customizable — control everything from pivot length and pattern-quality tolerances to colors, level extension, persistent historic levels & labels, adjustable signal label size, and dashboard text size.
🎯 Why this algo is unique: Standard pattern indicators repaint and offer subjective signals with no statistical backing. This is an objective, fully-gated, non-repainting engine that doesn't just draw a pattern — it recognizes nine of them from raw geometry, confirms them on a breakout, builds a complete adaptive risk framework (measured-move, ADR-bounded zones) around each one, grades its quality, and proves its historical performance on the very chart you're trading.
🚀 Apply to Gold (XAUUSD), Forex, Crypto, and Indices on any M5/M10/M15/M30/H1. The ADR-based, self-scaling geometry and extensive quality filters let it adapt to anything from M5 scalping to H4 swing trading.
🎯 How to use this? Use the dashboard to understand how each pattern type has recently performed on the current asset and timeframe. Favour higher-quality (higher-star) setups and those aligned with the higher-timeframe trend. Tune the pattern tolerances and measured-move multipliers to match your own risk tolerance and the asset's character.
⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE: This indicator is designed to identify statistically-backed pattern signals. It should NOT be used as a standalone signal for entering trades. Always use it in conjunction with your own trading strategy, price action analysis, and other technical indicators to confirm setups and manage risk. Indicador
Delivery Shift CISD [Viprasol]Overview
This indicator is based on an open-source "Change in State of Delivery (CISD)" community script, which detects the ICT concept of a delivery shift — the moment price reverses and closes back through the opening level of the opposing momentum leg that produced it. The original tracks swing-point liquidity, detects bullish and bearish CISD events using a displacement-ratio test, marks the origin level, and flags "strong" CISDs that occur right after opposing liquidity is swept. This version keeps that detection engine intact and adds a Viprasol confluence and execution layer: a 0-4 confluence score with A/B/C grading, optional volume-surge and higher-timeframe bias filters, a signal cooldown, a minimum-score gate, and an ATR-anchored Entry/SL/TP risk overlay drawn on qualified signals.
It is built for ICT/SMC traders who use CISD as a confirmation of intraday delivery direction and want each event graded by confluence, with optional filters and an automatic risk projection.
How It Works
Swing Liquidity (from original):
Pivot highs and lows over the swing period create horizontal liquidity lines that extend forward each bar. A line is mitigated when price trades through it (high >= level for a high, low <= level for a low) on a confirmed bar, and removed; lines older than the expiry threshold stop updating. The most recently mitigated high and low, and how many bars ago they were taken, are retained for the sweep test below.
CISD Detection (from original):
When a candle flips color (a down candle followed by an up candle, or vice versa), its open is stored as a potential CISD origin along with its bar index. On each later bar the script checks whether price has closed back beyond that stored open. If it has, it measures the displacement of the leg as a ratio: for a bearish CISD, (highest close in the leg − origin open) / (top of the bearish run − origin open). If that ratio exceeds the Noise Filter, the event qualifies as a CISD, the origin level is drawn, and the trend state flips. Weaker candidates are discarded and the scan continues to older candidates.
Liquidity-Sweep Confluence (from original):
A CISD is flagged "strong" when it fires within the liquidity-lookback window after the opposing liquidity was swept — a bearish CISD where a swing high was just taken and price closed back below it, or a bullish CISD where a swing low was taken and price closed back above. These print the labeled sweep arrows.
Confluence Score & Grade (new):
Every CISD event is scored 0-4 by summing four independent confluence checks:
score = strongDisplacement? + liquiditySweep? + htfAligned? + volumeSurge?
- strongDisplacement = the measured ratio is at least halfway between the Noise Filter and 1.0 (a decisively strong leg, not a marginal one).
- liquiditySweep = the original sweep confluence is present.
- htfAligned = the CISD direction agrees with the higher-timeframe EMA.
- volumeSurge = volume on the CISD bar exceeds its rolling average × the multiplier.
The score maps to a grade — A (>= 3), B (= 2), C (<= 1) — labeled at the origin level.
Filters & Qualified Signals (new):
Four optional gates can be applied without altering the original CISD drawing: a volume-surge requirement, a higher-timeframe EMA bias (bull only above, bear only below), a per-signal cooldown (minimum bars between qualified signals), and a minimum-confluence-score requirement. A CISD that passes all active gates becomes a "qualified" signal, which is what the risk overlay and the two new qualified alerts use. With every gate at its default (cooldown 0, filters off, min score 0), every CISD qualifies and the original behaviour is unchanged.
Risk Overlay (new):
On a qualified CISD, the script projects three lines: Entry at the CISD origin level, Stop-Loss beyond the CISD swing extreme (the highest/lowest close captured during detection) plus an ATR buffer, and Take-Profit at Entry ± risk × the Risk:Reward ratio, where risk is the Entry-to-SL distance. Colored ENTRY/SL/TP price labels mark the line ends. Only the most recent qualified signal's projection is kept, to avoid clutter.
What Is Original (Viprasol Additions)
1. Confluence score (0-4) and A/B/C grade per CISD, from displacement strength, liquidity sweep, HTF alignment, and volume surge.
2. Minimum-confluence-score gate and the "qualified signal" concept layered on top of raw CISD detection.
3. Optional volume-surge filter (volume above its rolling average × multiplier on the CISD bar).
4. Optional higher-timeframe EMA bias filter (and an always-computed HTF read used for grading).
5. Per-signal cooldown to prevent qualified-signal clustering.
6. ATR-anchored Entry/SL/TP risk overlay with colored price labels, with the stop anchored to the CISD swing extreme.
Key Features
From the Original:
- Swing-point liquidity lines with forward extension, mitigation, and expiry
- Displacement-ratio CISD detection for both directions with a Noise Filter
- Origin-level lines drawn on each CISD
- Trend/delivery-state tracking
- Liquidity-sweep confluence with labeled strong-CISD arrows
- Swing-high / swing-low dots
- Trend-gradient candle coloring
Added in This Version (Viprasol):
- 0-4 confluence score with A/B/C grade label
- Minimum-score gate and qualified-signal logic
- Volume-surge filter, HTF EMA bias filter, and signal cooldown
- ATR-anchored Entry/SL/TP risk overlay with price labels
- Info dashboard (delivery state, last grade, sweep, HTF bias, volume, live liquidity counts)
- Two new alerts for qualified bull/bear signals; all alert messages made dynamic
How to Use
Getting Started:
1. Add to a standard candlestick chart (not Heikin Ashi).
2. With defaults, every CISD is drawn and graded — read the A/B/C label to judge each event's confluence.
3. To trade only stronger setups, raise the Minimum Confluence Score or enable the volume / HTF filters.
Reading the Chart:
- Candles tint green/red with the current delivery state.
- A thick green/red horizontal line marks a CISD origin level; the A/B/C label shows its grade.
- ▲/▼ arrows mark strong CISDs that followed an opposing liquidity sweep.
- On a qualified CISD (with SL/TP enabled), Entry/SL/TP lines and price labels project to the right.
Recommended Starting Points:
- Intraday (1m-15m): Swing Period 10-12, Noise Filter 0.6-0.7, Min Score 0-1
- Swing (1H-4H): Swing Period 15-20, Noise Filter 0.7-0.8, Min Score 2, enable HTF bias
- Higher conviction: Min Score 3 (grade A), or require volume surge + HTF bias
These are starting points only — every market and timeframe behaves differently. Backtest and adjust before trading live.
Settings
Calculations: Noise Filter (displacement ratio threshold), Swing Period, Expiry Bars, Liquidity Lookback.
Signal Filters (Viprasol): signal cooldown, volume-surge requirement (length + multiplier), and HTF EMA bias (resolution + length).
Confluence & Quality (Viprasol): show grade on CISD, minimum confluence score.
Risk Overlay (Viprasol): show SL/TP on qualified CISD, show price labels, ATR period, SL ATR buffer, Risk:Reward.
Appearance: bullish/bearish colors, candle body and wick transparency, hide expired levels, hide mitigated levels.
Dashboard / Display: dashboard toggle and position.
Alerts
1. Swing High Mitigation — a swing-high liquidity line was taken
2. Swing Low Mitigation — a swing-low liquidity line was taken
3. Bearish CISD — a bearish change in state of delivery fired
4. Bullish CISD — a bullish change in state of delivery fired
5. Strong Bearish (Sweep) — bearish CISD following an opposing liquidity sweep
6. Strong Bullish (Sweep) — bullish CISD following an opposing liquidity sweep
7. Qualified Bull — a bullish CISD that passed all active filters and the score gate
8. Qualified Bear — a bearish CISD that passed all active filters and the score gate
All alerts include {{ticker}}, {{close}}, and {{interval}} for dynamic notification messages.
Limitations & Disclaimer
- CISD detection scans backward through stored candidate origins and uses closing relationships; signals are evaluated as bars confirm and the displacement ratio is measured after the move.
- The HTF EMA bias uses request.security with lookahead disabled; HTF values update only as the higher-timeframe bar develops.
- Swing liquidity lines are capped (oldest pruned) and can expire; in fast markets some mitigations may occur off-screen relative to the visible levels.
- The risk overlay's stop is anchored to the captured swing extreme plus an ATR buffer — it is a mechanical projection, not an optimized stop, and the lines are visual references only; they do not place or manage trades.
- Filters and the minimum-score gate reduce the number of qualified signals; in choppy conditions valid CISDs may not qualify, while with all gates off qualified signals equal raw CISDs.
- Past performance does not guarantee future results. This indicator is for educational and analytical purposes only and is not financial advice. Always use proper risk management and test on historical data before trading live.

Strong Session SD Zones | ProjectSyndicateStrong Session SD Zones
Strong Session SD Zones automatically maps and power-ranks the session-based supply & demand zones that price keeps reacting to. It tracks each zone through its full life — formation, tests, breakout, and invalidation — scores it 0–10 from real interaction, and retains every session's zones for the last N sessions, so you can see exactly which levels each Asia / London / New York session left behind.
🎯 Power-Ranking System (0–10) — every zone earns a live score from four things: the impulse of the move that created it, the volume traded while it formed, the depth of the rejection wicks off it, and its freshness (how unmitigated it still is). An idle-decay lets ignored zones fade while respected ones stay strong, so the score always reflects current relevance.
🕐 Session-Aware Zones — instead of one undifferentiated cluster of levels, zones are batched by trading session and each one is tagged with where it was born (Asia, London, NY, Late). Pick Daily, Asian, London, New York, or a custom session as the boundary that starts each new batch.
🔁 Hold vs Broken States — each zone is shaded by type (supply = red, demand = green) and re-shaded the moment price invalidates it, with a ✗ marker on broken zones. You see at a glance whether a level is still defending or has flipped.
🎨 Strength-Sharpened Fill — strong zones render sharp and opaque while weak ones stay faint, so the chart visually shows which levels carry weight before you even read the score.
🏷️ In-Zone Strength Labels — every zone carries its grade inside it: stars, the X.X/10 score, a tier (FORMING → WEAK → MODERATE → STRONG → ELITE), the live retest count (R:), and its session — quality reads instantly without a separate panel.
🧹 Overlap Suppression — when a new zone would stack on an existing same-session zone, the two are merged into one clean band instead of cluttering the area, so each price region shows a single level.
⭐ Strong-Only Filter — hide everything below a score threshold; weak zones that never earn the score are discarded rather than kept, so the chart only carries proven levels.
🔔 Comprehensive Native Alerts — proximity alerts for supply and demand zones, a dedicated STRONG-zone proximity alert (configurable, e.g. 7/10+), plus new-supply and new-demand formation events, so you never miss a key level interaction.
⚙️ Uniform Zone Height — normalize every zone to one ATR-based thickness for a clean, consistent look, with a minimum-swing filter that ignores insignificant pivots.
🚦 Performance Guards — a sessions-to-display window and a max-zones-kept cap keep load times fast on long histories; retired zones are fully removed, not just hidden.
🔧 Fully Customizable — color palette, transparency, borders, label size, scoring weights, pivot sensitivity, max zones per session, decay settings, and invalidation method (close vs wick) — all adjustable.
🎯 Why this algo is unique — standard pivot tools flood the chart with equal-weight lines. Strong Session SD Zones filters, merges, and ranks them by session, then keeps only the zones that have proven they matter. It doesn't just show where a level was — it quantifies how strong it is from real interaction (impulse, volume, rejection, freshness), giving you a clear read on which zones are holding and which are likely to break.
🚀 Apply to Gold (XAUUSD), Forex, Crypto, and Indices on any timeframe. Pivot sensitivity, zone height, sessions shown, and the strong threshold adapt it from scalping to swing trading.
🎯 How to use this? Focus on zones rated 7/10 or higher — these have the highest probability of producing a significant reaction. Watch the hold-vs-broken state to judge whether a level is defending or has flipped, and use the proximity and strong-zone alerts to prepare entries or exits.
⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE: This indicator identifies high-probability supply & demand zones. It should NOT be used as a standalone signal for entering trades. Always use it alongside your own trading strategy, price action analysis, and other technical indicators to confirm setups and manage risk. Indicador
OHLC-OLHC [ARKN] ARKN combines three time-based analysis tools into a single overlay so that session context, higher-timeframe structure, and cross-asset divergence can be read together on one chart, without stacking three separate indicators.
What it does
Killzones — Draws up to four configurable session boxes (defaults: Asia, London, NY AM, NY PM) with optional session high/low pivot lines, midpoints, day-of-week labels, opening-price lines, and an "opening candle" marker. Pivots can extend until mitigated or past mitigation, with optional alerts when a session high or low is broken.
HTF Candles — Renders up to four higher-timeframe candle sets to the right of the live price, each with its own timeframe and display count. Optional Fair Value Gap and Volume Imbalance boxes, a remaining-time countdown, and interval labels are drawn directly on the projected candles.
Sequential SMT (SSMT) — Detects SMT-style divergence between correlated instruments across nested cycles (Micro, 90-minute, Daily, Weekly, Monthly). Triads can be set automatically for common groups (metals, indices, FX, crypto, futures) or defined manually, with an inverse option for negatively-correlated pairs. Both standard (wick-based) and hidden (body/close-based) divergences are supported.
Why these three together
The three modules answer three sequential questions a session-based trader asks in order: when (Killzones frame the active session), what structure (HTF Candles show the higher-timeframe bias forming in real time), and confirmation (SSMT flags when a correlated instrument fails to confirm the move). Combining them removes the need to switch layouts or sync timeframes manually, since all three share the same timezone and session logic.
How to use
Set your timezone under Settings; all sessions and cycles reference it.
Each module has a master ON/OFF toggle at the top of its settings group.
For SSMT, either leave Triad Selection on Auto (it picks correlated assets for the current symbol) or set Manual to define your own triad. Lower timeframes show Micro/90m cycles; higher timeframes show Daily/Weekly/Monthly.
HTF Candle timeframes must be higher than the chart timeframe to display.
Settings overview
Global: drawing limit, timeframe limit, timezone, label size, text color, cutoff time. Per module: session times and colors (Killzones), timeframe and candle count (HTF Candles), cycle visibility, line styles, and correlation triads (SSMT).
Note on originality
This script combines well-established, publicly-discussed ICT community concepts — session Killzones, projected higher-timeframe candles, and SMT/Sequential SMT divergence. These concepts are not original to this script; the contribution here is integrating all three into one configurable overlay with shared session and timezone handling. The script is published open-source so the implementation can be reviewed and reused. Indicador
ICT PD Arrays [LunqFX] FVG, Displacement & Smart Money ZonesICT PD Arrays is a complete Smart Money Concepts toolkit built on the Inner
Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. It maps the full Price Delivery Array —
7 interconnected modules working together to identify where institutions
accumulate and distribute positions across any liquid market.
█ WHAT IT DOES
Most ICT indicators cover one concept in isolation — a Fair Value Gap, or
just Premium/Discount zones. This script combines all core PD Array
components into one cohesive system and ties them together with an ISD
state machine and a live HUD dashboard that shows full market context
at a glance.
Seven modules run simultaneously on every bar:
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) + Inversion FVG + Balanced Price Range (BPR)
Premium / Discount Zones + OTE Fibonacci Zones + Equilibrium Line
Displacement Detection with ATR and Volume confirmation
Inducement (IDM) — false breakout / liquidity trap detection
ISD Sequence state machine (Inducement → Sweep → Displacement)
Killzones — London, New York, Asian, Silver Bullet sessions
Live HUD Dashboard — all signals aggregated in real time
█ HOW IT DOES IT
FAIR VALUE GAPS
A Fair Value Gap is a 3-candle price imbalance where the gap between
candle 1's extreme and candle 3's extreme was never traded. Institutions
use these gaps as re-entry points — price gravitates back to fill them.
Detection uses a confirmed 3-candle structure with a bar offset so
the current live bar never creates a new FVG. No repainting.
An ATR(14)-based minimum size filter removes micro-gaps that carry no
significance. Raise the multiplier to see only strong imbalances.
Mitigation is tracked in real time. Once price crosses the CE midpoint
(Consequent Encroachment — the 50% level of the gap), the box fades.
When price fully passes through a gap it automatically converts to an
Inversion FVG (IFVG) — former support becomes resistance, box recolors.
Balanced Price Range (BPR) detects spatial overlap between the most
recent bullish FVG and bearish FVG. The overlap zone is where both
buyer and seller imbalances exist at the same price — the strongest
equilibrium area on the chart.
PREMIUM / DISCOUNT ZONES + OTE
ICT divides any dealing range into two halves: Premium (above 50%) where
institutions sell, and Discount (below 50%) where institutions buy.
Swing highs and lows are detected via pivot logic with a configurable
lookback. The range between the last confirmed pivot high and pivot low
becomes the active dealing range.
Two OTE zones are drawn using Fibonacci retracement logic:
OTE Buy zone — 21.4% to 38.2% from the low
= 61.8%–78.6% retracement FROM the swing high
= deepest discount, highest-probability long area
OTE Sell zone — 61.8% to 78.6% from the low
= deepest premium, highest-probability short area
Math:
OTE Buy Top = SwingLow + Range x 0.382
OTE Buy Bot = SwingLow + Range x 0.214
OTE Sell Top = SwingLow + Range x 0.786
OTE Sell Bot = SwingLow + Range x 0.618
Zones update automatically when new pivots are confirmed.
DISPLACEMENT
Displacement is not simply a large candle. In ICT theory it marks a
genuine shift of institutional order flow — it must show conviction.
Three conditions must all be satisfied simultaneously:
Body >= ATR(14) x multiplier (default 2.0)
Filters out average volatility, keeps only significant momentum.
Wick-to-range ratio below threshold (default 30%)
A large wick relative to range signals indecision, not displacement.
Formula: (High - Close) / Range for bulls,
(Close - Low) / Range for bears.
Optional volume filter: Volume > SMA(20) x 1.5
Confirms institutional participation behind the move.
Disable for spot Forex where tick volume is unreliable.
Displacement candles are the primary FVG trigger — the gap left behind
a displacement candle is the highest-quality FVG to trade.
INDUCEMENT (IDM)
Inducement is how institutions engineer a false breakout to grab
retail stop-loss liquidity before reversing price the other way.
Detected when price temporarily sweeps beyond a recent swing high or
low and then closes back inside the range. An ATR-based wick filter
ensures only meaningful sweeps qualify — micro-breakouts are excluded.
Bear Trap: price sweeps below a recent low and closes above it.
Bull Trap: price sweeps above a recent high and closes below it.
A 25-bar cooldown prevents label flooding in trending conditions.
The signal still feeds the ISD state machine on every bar regardless.
ISD SEQUENCE STATE MACHINE
ISD stands for Inducement, Sweep, Displacement. This is the complete
3-step institutional setup that ICT traders look for before entering.
The module runs as a persistent state machine tracking progress
across bars in real time:
Score 1/3 — IDM confirmed. Liquidity has been grabbed.
Score 2/3 — A structural sweep of a 5-bar high or low confirmed.
Score 3/3 — A Displacement candle fires in the same direction.
Label appears on chart. State resets automatically.
A 50-bar timeout resets the sequence if no follow-through occurs,
preventing stale signals from contaminating new setups.
ISD 3/3 is the single highest-confidence signal in this indicator.
All three institutional steps have completed in the correct order.
Dashboard shows live progress: Score 0 to 3 with block indicators.
KILLZONES
ICT defines specific time windows where institutional order flow
is at its highest. The script highlights four of them:
London Open 02:00 - 05:00 New York time
New York Open 08:30 - 11:00 New York time
Asian Session 20:00 - 00:00 New York time
Silver Bullet 10:00 - 11:00 New York time
The Silver Bullet is a specific 1-hour ICT window occurring inside
the New York session — considered one of the highest-probability
entry windows in the entire ICT model.
Killzones are automatically hidden on timeframes 4H and above.
LIVE HUD DASHBOARD
A real-time panel in the bottom-left corner aggregates all modules:
Zone current price position (PREMIUM / DISCOUNT / EQ)
with gradient background that shifts green to red
EQ Level exact equilibrium price of the current dealing range
Bull FVG count of active non-inverted bullish gaps
Bear FVG count of active non-inverted bearish gaps
BPR whether a Balanced Price Range is currently active
Displace direction of the most recent displacement candle
IDM most recent trap type — Bear Trap / Bull Trap / None
ISD Score live block progress from 0/3 to 3/3
ATR (14) current ATR value
Timeframe active chart timeframe
█ HOW TO USE
Recommended workflow for intraday setups on 1m to 1H timeframes.
Step 1
Check the dashboard Zone. If PREMIUM, look for short setups only.
If DISCOUNT, look for long setups only. Never trade against the zone.
Step 2
Wait for an IDM label. This confirms retail stop-loss liquidity has
been swept in the direction you are looking to trade.
Step 3
Watch the ISD score reach 2/3 — a structural sweep is confirmed in
the same direction as the IDM.
Step 4
When a Displacement candle fires and ISD reaches 3/3, the complete
institutional sequence is confirmed. This is the entry trigger.
Step 5
Enter on a retest of the FVG left by the displacement candle.
For the highest-precision entry, wait for price to reach the OTE
zone within the FVG (61.8%–78.6% retracement level).
Step 6
Use Killzones to time entries. Highest-probability window is the
Silver Bullet (10:00–11:00 NY). London and NY Open are second.
For higher timeframe analysis on 4H and Daily: use Premium/Discount
zones and swing structure only. Ignore Killzones and FVG entries.

█ TECHNICAL NOTES
All ta.* function calls — ATR, SMA, pivot highs/lows, highest, lowest —
are executed unconditionally at the top script level in compliance with
the Pine Script v6 execution model. Never inside conditionals or
functions called conditionally.
FVG detection is locked to barstate.isconfirmed with a bar offset.
The current live bar never creates a new FVG box. No repainting.
The ISD state machine uses persistent var variables with inline
assignment in the main execution body. Pine v6 does not allow global
variable reassignment inside functions, so the state machine runs
directly in the main script scope with a 50-bar timeout guard.

Market Structure Target Tracker [MarkitTick]💡 An advanced, multi-faceted analytical suite designed for traders who rely on price action and logical trend progressions. By systematically identifying structural pivots in the market, this tool automatically maps out Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) events. Rather than simply plotting support and resistance, it integrates a sophisticated risk-management framework directly onto the chart, calculating dynamic Entry, Stop Loss (SL), and multiple Take Profit (TP) levels based on market volatility.
Price action trading requires constant vigilance to identify local maxima and minima. This script relieves the trader of manual chart marking by perpetually analyzing rolling windows of price data. When an established swing high or low is breached, the indicator locks in the structural shift, evaluates higher timeframe momentum to filter out false breakouts, and establishes a forward-looking target zone.
✨ Originality and Utility
Most market structure indicators limit their functionality to placing historical labels on the chart. The originality of this script lies in its forward-looking, state-aware tracking mechanism. It operates not just as an indicator, but as a simulated trade management dashboard.
Once a structural break occurs, the indicator shifts into an active tracking state. It dynamically projects Entry and SL/TP bands anchored to the breakout, using Average True Range (ATR) to adapt to the asset's current volatility. Furthermore, it continuously evaluates the life-cycle of the structural break, monitoring price action to determine if the target is successfully hit or if the setup is invalidated by an opposing swing breach. This level of state persistence provides traders with an objective, real-time assessment of trade feasibility, risk-to-reward ratios, and trend duration.
🔬 Methodology and Concepts
The script is built upon four foundational technical concepts, woven together into a unified logic sequence:
• Pivot Detection
The core engine scans for Pivot Highs and Pivot Lows. A Pivot High is confirmed when a specific bar's high is strictly greater than the highs of a defined number of bars both preceding and following it. This creates a fractal representation of market turning points.
• Break of Structure (BOS)
A bullish structure break occurs when the closing price of a confirmed bar exceeds the most recent Pivot High. Conversely, a bearish break occurs when the close drops below the most recent Pivot Low. The script categorizes the first break in a new direction as a CHoCH, and subsequent continuous breaks as BOS.
• Higher Timeframe (HTF) Alignment
To prevent trading against the dominant macroeconomic trend, the script optionally queries the Relative Strength Index (RSI) from a higher timeframe. If this filter is engaged, bullish breakouts are ignored unless the HTF RSI indicates bullish momentum, adding a crucial layer of directional confirmation.
• Volatility-Adjusted Target Mapping
Upon a valid breakout, the script captures the current ATR. It then maps out a predefined trade setup. The Entry is plotted slightly past the breakout line, the Stop Loss is placed at a multiple of the ATR away from the entry, and up to three Take Profit levels are projected using independent ATR multipliers.
🔍 Deconstruction of the Underlying Scientific and Academic Framework
The indicator translates discretionary price action theory into a strict, rule-based algorithmic framework grounded in discrete mathematics and statistical dispersion.
• Local Extrema in Discrete Time Series
The pivot detection relies on the mathematical definition of local extrema within a bounded domain. For a given time series of high prices $H_t$, a local maximum is identified at time $t$ if $H_t \ge H_{t \pm k}$ for a defined neighborhood $k$ (the Swing Length). By anchoring structural logic to these extrema, the script removes the subjectivity of trendline drawing, relying strictly on empirical data points that define the boundaries of recent market equilibrium.
• Measurement of Dispersion via True Range
The risk management module utilizes the Average True Range. The True Range ( NYSE:TR $) is defined as the greatest of the following: the current high minus the current low, the absolute value of the current high minus the previous close, or the absolute value of the current low minus the previous close. The ATR is a smoothed moving average of this NYSE:TR $. In academic finance, variance and standard deviation are common measures of risk; however, ATR is particularly robust for trading applications as it accounts for overnight gaps and limits, providing a highly adaptive measurement of kinetic market energy to appropriately size stop-loss thresholds.
• Relative Momentum Standardization
The Higher Timeframe filter utilizes the Relative Strength Index. The RSI standardizes the velocity of price movement onto a 0-100 scale by comparing the exponential moving average of recent gains to recent losses. By enforcing a rule where NYSE:RSI > 50$ is required for bullish structural breaks, the algorithm mathematically demands that the higher-degree derivative of price (momentum) aligns with the lower-degree breakout, statistically reducing the probability of mean-reverting false breakouts.
🎨 Visual Guide
The script provides a rich, non-intrusive visual overlay to keep the trader informed of all active states and historical context.
• Structure Break Lines
Dashed Green Lines: Indicate historical and active Bullish breakouts.
Dashed Red Lines: Indicate historical and active Bearish breakouts.
Trend Labels: Triangles and markers (▲ BOS / ▼ CHoCH) appear at the midpoint of the break line to clearly annotate the structural shift.
• Trade Projection Lines
When a break is active, a cluster of dashed lines projects to the right of the current price action:
Blue Line (►): Proposed Entry level.
Red Line (✕): Stop Loss level based on ATR.
Green Lines (●, ★, ◆): Three tiered Take Profit targets based on escalating ATR multiples.
• The Heads-Up Dashboard
Located in the top right corner, this table is the operational nerve center. It displays:
Asset Ticker and Current Trend status.
HTF Direction and a visual block-bar representation of the HTF RSI.
Active BOS Level and Target Status (⏳ Pending or ✓ Hit).
Exact price coordinates for Entry, SL, and all TPs.
The active Risk-to-Reward (R:R) ratio for the first target.
Statistical tracking of Total BOS counts and the duration (in bars) of the active setup.
📖 How to Use
Traders can utilize this script as a complete ruleset for navigating trend continuations and reversals.
When observing the chart, wait for the script to print a new BOS or CHoCH label. This signifies that a confirmed candle has closed beyond a significant structural pivot. If the HTF filter is enabled, this break already has the backing of higher timeframe momentum.
Once the break prints, look to the dashed projection lines and the dashboard. The dashboard will display exact coordinates for a theoretical trade setup. You can use the blue Entry line to plan limit orders or market execution upon pullbacks. Set your structural stop-loss according to the red SL line, and place limit orders to secure profits at the green TP lines.
Monitor the Dashboard's "Tgt Status". If price action reverses heavily and crosses the opposing pivot point before reaching the target, the script will trigger its auto-invalidation sequence, clearing the active lines and returning to a neutral scanning state. This helps in dynamically cutting risk when a setup structurally fails.

Meridian Flow [WillyAlgoTrader]🧭 Meridian Flow is an overlay Smart-Money toolkit that reads market structure the way an institutional trader does — detecting confirmed swing points, classifying every break as a BOS (trend continuation) or a CHoCH (trend reversal), drawing the order block each break leaves behind, and then turning that signal into a complete trade plan with ATR-based stop-loss, three take-profits, automatic break-even, and a live performance dashboard — all on one chart, with zero manual drawing.
The core idea: most "SMC" tools just paint boxes and labels and leave you to figure out the rest. Meridian Flow closes the loop. It does not stop at "here is a break" — it answers where to enter, where the stop goes, where the targets are, when to move to break-even, and how the setup has performed . Structure detection, order-block tracking, a higher-timeframe bias filter, a full risk engine, a structure-anchored trend line, and a sectioned dashboard are wired into a single pipeline so each part feeds the next.
It works on any market and any timeframe — forex, crypto, stocks, indices, futures — because every component is built from price action and ATR, not from instrument-specific assumptions.
🧩 WHY THESE COMPONENTS WORK TOGETHER
A raw BOS/CHoCH labeler tells you structure broke, but not whether to trust the break, where the institutional zone is, or how to manage risk once you're in. An order-block tool draws zones but has no concept of trade management. A risk calculator needs an entry it can't generate on its own. Used separately, you're constantly stitching three or four tools together by hand.
Meridian Flow fuses them into one chain:
Confirmed swing detection → HH/HL/LH/LL classification → BOS / CHoCH break engine → HTF bias filter → Order-block creation + mitigation tracking → ATR risk model (SL / TP1-3 / break-even) → Structure-anchored ATR trend line → Live stats & form dashboard → Alerts
The swing engine finds confirmed pivots. Classification tells you whether each new swing extends or contradicts the prior one. The break engine reads the running structure state to decide BOS vs CHoCH — the same state then sets the direction of the trailing trend line, so the line and the labels never disagree. Each qualifying break spawns the order block that produced the move and tracks it until price mitigates it. The HTF filter vetoes breaks that fight the higher timeframe. The risk engine takes the surviving signal and immediately builds entry, stop, and three targets sized in ATR and R-multiples. The dashboard records the outcome and feeds it back to you as a win rate and a recent-form strip.
Without structure classification you can't separate continuations from reversals. Without the running-state logic, BOS and CHoCH blur together. Without order blocks you lose the institutional zone. Without the HTF filter you take every counter-trend poke. Without the risk model a signal is just an arrow. The combination is what turns "structure broke" into a managed, reviewable trade.
🔍 WHAT MAKES IT ORIGINAL
1️⃣ Confirmed swing engine with automatic HH / HL / LH / LL labeling.
Swings are found with symmetric pivots — equal left/right lookback (default Swing Length 13 ) — so a pivot is only confirmed once enough bars have closed on both sides. Each new high is labeled:
— isHH = (no previous high) OR (pivotHigh >= previousHigh)
— otherwise it is an LH
Each new low is labeled:
— isLL = (no previous low) OR (pivotLow <= previousLow)
— otherwise it is an HL
This gives you an objective, repeatable map of structure instead of subjective lines.
2️⃣ BOS vs CHoCH disambiguation via a running structure-state machine.
The indicator keeps an internal trend state (structTrend = +1 bull, −1 bear, 0 neutral). When a swing high breaks, it reads that state:
— bull break while structTrend >= 0 → BOS ▲ (continuation)
— bull break while structTrend < 0 → CHoCH ▲ (reversal up)
The mirror logic applies to bear breaks. This is why the same break can be a BOS in one context and a CHoCH in another — the label reflects the trend you were already in, not just the candle that broke.
3️⃣ Conflict suppression + warmup guard.
If a bull break and a bear break would register on the very same bar, the bar is flagged a conflict and both are suppressed — no contradictory signals. On top of that, no signal fires until the chart has warmed up:
— WARMUP_BARS = max(Swing Length × 2, 50)
Early-history noise, where pivots aren't yet reliable, is filtered out before a single arrow prints.
4️⃣ Order blocks tied to the break, with displacement detection and an arm→mitigate lifecycle.
When a break creates an OB, the engine scans back up to OB Lookback (default 30) bars for the last opposite candle (for a bullish OB: the last down candle, close < open) and prefers one that was followed by a displacement move out of its range. If no displacement is found, it falls back to the nearest opposite candle.
Every box then runs a lifecycle:
— Armed : price first closes beyond the zone (confirming the OB worked)
— Mitigated : price later returns into the zone (by wick or close, your choice), committed on bar close
Mitigated blocks fade to grey and freeze, or can be removed entirely. The box cap ( Max Order Blocks, default 8 ) always drops mitigated zones first, so live zones stay on the chart longest.
5️⃣ Non-repainting higher-timeframe bias filter.
An EMA (default 50 ) is computed on a higher timeframe (default 60-minute ) and read with a one-bar offset on confirmed values:
— Bullish bias when close >= HTF EMA
— Bearish bias when close <= HTF EMA
When the filter is on, longs are only allowed in a bullish HTF regime and shorts only in a bearish one. Because the HTF value is taken from the already-closed higher-timeframe bar, it does not repaint.
6️⃣ Preset-driven ATR risk model — entry, stop, and three targets in one shot.
Stop distance is volatility-scaled, and targets are placed as multiples of that risk (R):
— slDistance = ATR(SL length, default 13) × SL multiplier
— SL = entry ∓ slDistance
— TP1/TP2/TP3 = entry ± slDistance × (TP1/TP2/TP3 multiplier)
One click selects a full profile (SL ×ATR / TP1 / TP2 / TP3 in R):
— Conservative : 2.5 / 1R / 2R / 4R
— Balanced : 1.5 / 1R / 2R / 3R
— Aggressive : 1.0 / 1.5R / 2.5R / 4R
— Scalping : 0.8 / 0.8R / 1.5R / 2R
— Custom : set every multiplier by hand
Only one position at a time is tracked — no pyramiding, no overlapping clutter.
7️⃣ Break-even-after-TP1 with WIN-on-TP1 accounting.
When TP1 is first touched and break-even is enabled, the stop is moved to the entry price. From the next bar, any wick back to entry closes the trade at break-even — locking out the give-back loss. Crucially, a trade counts as a WIN the moment TP1 is touched , even if it later comes back to the break-even stop. This keeps the win-rate honest about partial profit-taking.
8️⃣ Structure-anchored ATR trend line (SuperTrend-style, but it flips on CHoCH).
A smoothed ATR band trails price, but its direction is not decided by its own crossover logic — it is slaved to the structure state:
— band = hl2 ∓ (ATR Trend Multiplier, default 5) × EMA(ATR(length 10), smoothing 5)
— Bull regime: line trails as max(previous line, lower band)
— Bear regime: line trails as min(previous line, upper band)
— The line flips only when structure flips (a CHoCH), marked with a circle
So your trailing line and your BOS/CHoCH labels always tell the same story.
9️⃣ Session stats engine — win rate gauge + recent-form strip.
The dashboard tallies closed trades, wins, losses, and win rate, rendered with a Unicode block gauge (▰▱). A separate Form strip shows the last 10 outcomes (▰ = win, ▱ = loss, newest on the right), so you can see whether the current settings are in or out of sync with the market at a glance.
🧠 HOW IT WORKS — bar by bar
Step 1 — Detect swings: symmetric pivots confirm a swing high or low and label it HH/HL/LH/LL.
Step 2 — Watch for a break: price closing (or wicking, your choice) beyond the last swing flags a raw break; same-bar conflicts are suppressed.
Step 3 — Classify the break: the running structure state turns the raw break into a BOS or a CHoCH and flips the trend state.
Step 4 — Filter by bias: if the HTF filter is on, the break must agree with the higher-timeframe EMA regime to qualify.
Step 5 — Spawn the order block: the engine finds the originating candle (preferring displacement) and draws the OB zone.
Step 6 — Open the trade: while flat, a qualifying break sets entry, ATR stop, and TP1/TP2/TP3 from the active preset.
Step 7 — Manage it: each bar checks for TP touches and stop hits; TP1 triggers break-even; SL or TP3 closes the trade and books the result.
Step 8 — Track zones: every open OB arms and then mitigates as price interacts with it.
Step 9 — Report: the dashboard updates trend, signal, levels, R:R, win rate, and recent form; alerts fire on close.
📖 HOW TO USE (beginner-friendly)
🎯 Quick start — get running in 5 steps:
1. Add Meridian Flow to any chart, any timeframe. Defaults already work.
2. Look at the dashboard (top-right). The colored header tells you the current trend: green = bullish, red = bearish, blue = neutral.
3. Wait for a Long ▲ or Short ▼ marker to print under/over a candle. That is a new trade signal.
4. Read the colored lines that appear: the dotted line is your entry, the solid red line is your stop-loss, the three dashed lines are TP1, TP2, TP3.
5. Use those exact levels in your broker. The dashboard shows the same numbers in text so you can copy them.
That is the whole loop: signal prints → take the levels → manage to the targets. Everything else below just helps you read and fine-tune it.
👁️ Reading the chart (what every element means):
— 🟢 Long ▲ / 🔴 Short ▼ markers = a trade just opened in that direction.
— BOS ▲/▼ = trend is continuing in the same direction.
— CHoCH ▲/▼ = trend may be reversing — the first sign of a turn.
— HH / HL = higher high / higher low (healthy uptrend). LL / LH = lower low / lower high (healthy downtrend).
— Colored boxes = order blocks (institutional zones). Bright = still active; faded grey = already mitigated (price came back to it).
— Dotted line = entry · solid red = stop-loss · dashed lines = TP1/TP2/TP3. A target turns solid teal with a ✓ once price reaches it.
— Trailing ATR line = quick visual trend; it flips (with a small circle) when structure reverses.
📊 Dashboard fields:
— Trend : current structure direction (Bullish / Bearish / Neutral).
— Signal : LONG, SHORT, or Wait (a new trade only opens when you're flat).
— Last event : the most recent BOS or CHoCH.
— Timeframe : the chart timeframe.
— SL / TP1 / TP2 / TP3 : live levels of the open trade (✓ marks targets already hit; "BE @" means the stop moved to break-even).
— R:R (TP1) : reward-to-risk to the first target.
— SL Dist % : how far the stop sits from entry as a percentage.
— Trades / W-L / Win rate : this-session performance with a gauge.
— Form : last 10 results, ▰ win · ▱ loss, newest on the right.
🔧 Tuning guide (fix common issues):
— Too many small/noisy signals: raise Swing Length (try 20-30) and set Break Confirmation to "Close".
— Signals feel late: lower Swing Length (5-10) and/or switch Break Confirmation to "Wick".
— Too many counter-trend trades: turn on the HTF Trend Filter.
— Stops too tight / too wide: change the Risk Preset, or use Custom and adjust SL ×ATR.
— Chart too busy: turn off OB labels and the mean line, reduce Max Order Blocks, or enable "Remove OB After Mitigation".
💡 Trading ideas:
— Reversal hunting: set Signal Mode to "CHoCH only" to trade structure turns; pair with an order-block retest for confirmation.
— Trend riding: set Signal Mode to "BOS only" with the HTF filter on to stack with the higher-timeframe direction.
— Zone entries: wait for a fresh OB, then enter on the mitigation tap back into the zone rather than chasing the break.
— Scalping: use the Scalping preset on low timeframes for tight stops and quick 1:1 to 1:2 targets.
— Risk-free runners: keep Break-Even After TP1 on so winners can't turn into losers.

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES
— 🚫 No repainting. Swings use symmetric (equal left/right) pivots, so a pivot is confirmed only after the lookback bars close — the actual swing sits in the past by the Swing Length; the indicator draws forward from that confirmed bar. Breaks, hits, and OB mitigation all commit on bar close (barstate.isconfirmed), the HTF bias reads the already-closed higher-timeframe bar, and alerts fire once per bar close. This is delayed confirmation, not repainting of future values.
— 📐 Confirmation delay is inherent: signals appear after the bar that triggers them closes. This is the cost of avoiding fakeouts.
— ⚖️ Stats are session-based: win rate and the form strip reset when the script reloads or any input changes. They reflect the visible history with current settings, not a guaranteed forward result.
— 📊 "SL Dist %" is the stop distance as a percentage of entry — it is not a position-sizing or account-risk figure. Size your positions with your own risk rules.
— 🛠️ This is a market-structure analysis and trade-planning tool, not an automated trading bot. It detects structure, draws zones, builds stop/target levels, and tracks outcomes — trade decisions remain yours.
— 🌐 Works on all markets and all timeframes. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

SMC Flip Zone Engine ViprasolOverview
The original detects a break of structure, walks back to find the reaction leg that preceded it, and draws a colored zone box, with optional Liquidity Sweep, Fair Value Gap, HTF EMA alignment, and OTE (discount/premium) filters that can be toggled on to reduce noise. This version keeps that zone-detection engine intact and adds a Viprasol confluence and lifecycle layer: a 0-4 confluence score with A/B/C grading, a minimum-score gate, zone mitigation (retest) and invalidation tracking, a per-side cooldown, and an ATR-free risk overlay that projects Entry/SL/TP from a zone when price returns to it.
It is built for traders who work with break-of-structure flip zones and want each zone graded by how much SMC confluence actually backs it, plus automatic tracking of when zones are retested or broken.
How It Works
Structure Break & Reaction Leg (from original):
A bullish flip is triggered when close crosses over the prior highest-high of the lookback window (supply broken); a bearish flip when close crosses under the prior lowest-low (demand broken). On a break, the script walks back over the reaction-leg length to find the extreme of the trap leg — for a bull flip, the lowest low in that window and its bar's high define the zone's bottom and top. A box is drawn from that reaction bar forward.
SMC Filters (from original, toggle-gated):
Four optional filters can each be required before a zone is drawn:
- Liquidity Sweep — the reaction leg must have exceeded the prior structural extreme (taken liquidity).
- FVG / Displacement — a fair value gap must be present around the break (e.g. low > high ).
- HTF Alignment — bull zones only above, bear zones only below, the 50 EMA of a higher timeframe.
- OTE (Discount/Premium) — the zone midpoint must sit in the discount half (bull) or premium half (bear) of the leg, where equilibrium = leg low + (leg high − leg low) × 0.5.
Confluence Score & Grade (new):
Independently of which filters are toggled on, the script evaluates all four confluence conditions as raw booleans on every new zone and sums them into a 0-4 score:
score = sweep? + fvg? + ote? + htfAligned?
The score is mapped to a grade — A (>= 3), B (= 2), C (<= 1) — and printed on the zone box. This means even with all filters off (so every break draws a zone), you can still see which zones are backed by genuine confluence. A "Minimum Confluence Score" input then lets you suppress any zone below a chosen score without having to hard-require specific filters.
Zone Mitigation & Invalidation (new):
Every existing zone is tracked across bars. A zone is mitigated the first time price trades back into its range (low <= top and high >= bot) — this fires a mitigation alert (a potential entry as the flip zone is retested). A zone is invalidated when price closes through it (close < bot for a bull zone, close > top for a bear zone); invalidated zones are recolored gray (or can be left as-is) and fire an invalidation alert. Each transition fires once per zone.
Risk Overlay on Mitigation (new):
When "Show SL/TP on Mitigation" is enabled, the first retest of a zone projects three lines: Entry at the near edge of the zone, Stop-Loss at the far edge (so the zone height is the risk), and Take-Profit at Entry ± zone-height × the Risk:Reward ratio. Colored ENTRY/SL/TP price labels mark the line ends. Only the most recent mitigation's projection is kept, to avoid clutter.
Per-Side Cooldown (new):
An optional cooldown enforces a minimum number of bars between new zones on the same side (tracked as bar_index − lastSideBar >= cooldown), preventing a burst of overlapping zones during a single fast move.
What Is Original (Viprasol Additions)
1. Confluence score (0-4) and A/B/C grade printed on each zone, computed from raw sweep/FVG/OTE/HTF conditions regardless of which filters are toggled.
2. Minimum-confluence-score gate — suppress low-quality zones without hard-requiring individual filters.
3. Zone mitigation (retest) detection with a dedicated alert.
4. Zone invalidation detection (price closes through) with recoloring and a dedicated alert.
5. Risk overlay — Entry/SL/TP projection with colored price labels drawn on the first mitigation of a zone, sized by zone height and the Risk:Reward ratio.
6. Per-side zone cooldown to prevent clustering.
Key Features
From the Original:
- Break-of-structure detection via crossover/crossunder of the lookback high/low
- Reaction-leg walk-back to locate the trap zone behind the break
- Bullish and bearish flip-zone boxes with labels
- Optional Liquidity Sweep, FVG, HTF 50-EMA alignment, and OTE filters
- Oldest-zone pruning to limit chart clutter
Added in This Version (Viprasol):
- 0-4 confluence score with A/B/C grade on every zone
- Minimum-score quality gate
- Mitigation (retest) and invalidation lifecycle tracking with recoloring
- Entry/SL/TP risk overlay with colored price labels on mitigation
- Per-side cooldown
- Info dashboard (active zone counts, HTF state, filters-on count, min score)
- Six alert conditions with dynamic {{ticker}}/{{close}}/{{interval}} messages
How to Use
Getting Started:
1. Add to a standard candlestick chart (not Heikin Ashi).
2. With all filters off (default), every structure break draws a graded zone — read the A/B/C grade to judge quality.
3. To trade only stronger setups, either raise "Minimum Confluence Score" or turn on the specific filters you require.
Reading the Chart:
- Green zone = bullish flip (drawn after a supply break); red zone = bearish flip (after a demand break).
- The bracket on each zone, e.g. , is the confluence grade and score.
- A zone turning gray means price closed through it — it is invalidated.
- When price returns into a zone and SL/TP is enabled, Entry/SL/TP lines and price labels project to the right.
Recommended Starting Points:
- Intraday (5m-15m): Lookback 20, Reaction 7, Min Score 0-1, Cooldown 0-3
- Swing (1H-4H): Lookback 30, Reaction 7-10, Min Score 2, enable HTF alignment

SMC Strict Filters: toggles for Liquidity Sweep, FVG (displacement), HTF 50-EMA alignment (with HTF resolution), and OTE (discount/premium). All default off so zones appear immediately.
Confluence & Quality (Viprasol): minimum confluence score, show grade on zone, and per-side zone cooldown.
Risk Overlay (Viprasol): show SL/TP on mitigation, show price labels, and the Risk:Reward ratio.
Visuals: bullish/bearish fill and border colors, and a toggle to dim invalidated zones gray.
Dashboard / Display: dashboard toggle and position.
Alerts
1. New Bull Zone — a bullish flip zone was created
2. New Bear Zone — a bearish flip zone was created
3. Any New Zone — either direction created
4. Bull Mitigation — price returned to a bullish zone (potential long)
5. Bear Mitigation — price returned to a bearish zone (potential short)
6. Zone Invalidated — a zone was closed through and invalidated
All alerts include {{ticker}}, {{close}}, and {{interval}} for dynamic notification messages.
Limitations & Disclaimer
- Zones are created on the bar the structure break confirms; because detection uses crossover/crossunder of close versus the prior swing, signals are evaluated on the closing relationship and the reaction leg is identified after the fact.
- The HTF alignment filter uses request.security with lookahead disabled; HTF values update only as the higher-timeframe bar progresses.
- The FVG and OTE checks are simplified single-bar/leg-midpoint approximations, not full multi-leg ICT constructs.
- Mitigation is detected on the first wick back into a zone; this is an awareness signal, not a guaranteed reversal.
- SL/TP lines and price labels are visual references only and do not place or manage trades.
- Filters and the minimum-score gate reduce the number of zones; in choppy ranges valid zones may be suppressed, while in fast trends overlapping zones may appear if cooldown is off.
- Past performance does not guarantee future results. This indicator is for educational and analytical purposes only and is not financial advice. Always use proper risk management and test on historical data before trading live.

Kalman Flow TrailKalman Flow Trail
Kalman Flow Trail is a clean trend-following and market structure overlay designed to help traders read market direction, structural shifts, protected levels, liquidity targets, and higher-timeframe alignment from one chart.
The script combines an adaptive Kalman-based trail with market structure logic, live strong/weak range levels, POI supply and demand zones, optional MSS/MSB guides, higher-timeframe confirmation, flip markers, and a compact Flow Dashboard.
Core Features
1. Adaptive Kalman Flow Engine
At the centre of the script is a dual Kalman smoothing engine designed to filter market noise while tracking directional flow.
Unlike a standard moving average with fixed behaviour, the trail adapts using market structure activity and volatility. When price action becomes more active, the trail can respond faster. When price is choppy or compressed, the trail becomes smoother to reduce unnecessary noise.
The engine also includes a structure-bias filter to help reduce overreaction when Kalman momentum and market structure are not aligned.
2. MSS / MSB Structure Guides
Kalman Flow Trail includes optional structure guides for traders who want to see internal market structure directly on the chart.
MSS = Market Structure Shift
MSB = Market Structure Break
These guides can be toggled on or off depending on whether the trader wants a detailed structure view or a cleaner visual layout.
3. Live Strong & Weak Range Levels
The script automatically tracks swing structure and highlights strong protected levels and weak target levels.
Strong levels represent the protected side of the current range.
Weak levels represent likely liquidity targets.
When a weak target is swept, the level can roll forward live with the current extreme until a new confirmed pivot forms. This helps keep the range logic responsive during strong continuation moves.
4. POI Supply & Demand Zones
The script can draw POI zones from important structural pivot areas.
In a bullish range, the POI highlights a potential demand area around the protected strong low.
In a bearish range, the POI highlights a potential supply area around the protected strong high.
The zones use theme-adaptive colours and dashed borders for a cleaner and more professional chart style.
5. Higher-Timeframe Confirmation
The optional HTF Kalman Basis allows traders to compare current chart flow with a selected higher timeframe.
For example, traders can view a 1H Kalman basis while analysing a 5-minute or 15-minute chart. This helps identify whether lower-timeframe price action is aligned with the broader market direction.
6. Flow Dashboard
The built-in Flow Dashboard gives a compact read of current market conditions:
Trail Direction
Kalman Momentum
HTF Alignment
Range State
This allows traders to quickly check whether the current flow, momentum, higher timeframe, and range structure are aligned.
7. Trail Flip Markers
Diamond markers appear when the Kalman Flow Trail changes direction.
These Trail Flip markers are designed to highlight possible shifts in directional flow. They are not standalone buy or sell signals, but they can help traders identify when market conditions are changing.
8. Proximity Star
The live trail star follows the active trail level.
When price moves close to the trail, the star changes into a warning state. This can help traders see when price is approaching a possible reaction area, mean-reversion zone, or potential trail breach.
Visual Themes
Kalman Flow Trail includes multiple built-in colour themes:
Lucid Neon
Ember Pulse
Arctic Signal
Violet Flux
Mono Current
Custom Theme
Users can also toggle trail glow, trail fill, trail boundaries, flip diamonds, live trail star, HTF basis, POI zones, MSS/MSB guides, and candle colouring.
How Traders Can Use It
Trend Continuation
Look for price respecting the trail and holding above protected demand areas in bullish conditions, or below protected supply areas in bearish conditions.
Trail Flip
Use diamond markers as visual alerts that directional flow may be shifting.
Strong / Weak Range Logic
Use strong levels as protected structure and weak levels as potential liquidity objectives.
HTF Alignment
Higher-quality conditions generally occur when Trail Direction and HTF Alignment point in the same direction.
POI Zones
Use POI Demand and POI Supply zones as structural areas of interest for reactions, continuation, or invalidation.
Best Use Cases
Trend-following analysis
Market structure reading
Liquidity target mapping
Higher-timeframe confirmation
Clean visual trend tracking
Crypto, Forex, Indices, Stocks, and Commodities

Strong Retest Zones | ProjectSyndicateStrong Retest Zones automatically maps and power-ranks the swing-based levels that price keeps reacting to. It tracks each level through its full life — formation, tests, breakout, and retest — scores it 0–10 from real interaction, and shows only the zones that earn their place, keeping the chart clean and focused on levels that matter.
🎯 Power-Ranking System (0–10) — every zone earns a live score from three things: how many times it's been tested/retested, the volume traded while it was active, and the depth of the rejection wicks off it. An idle-decay lets ignored levels fade while respected ones stay strong, so the score reflects current relevance.
🔁 Double-Shaded Break & Retest Zones — each level is drawn in two tones: one shade while it holds, a contrasting shade once price breaks through. You see at a glance whether a zone is still defending or has flipped.
🏷️ In-Zone Strength Labels — every zone carries its grade inside it: stars, the X.X/10 score, a tier (FORMING → WEAK → MODERATE → STRONG → ELITE), and the live retest count (R:) — quality reads instantly without a separate panel.
🧹 Overlap Suppression — when a new zone would stack on top of an existing one, it's skipped so each price area shows a single clean level instead of a cluster.
⭐ Strong-Only Filter — hide everything below a score threshold (default 5/10); weak zones that never earn the score are discarded rather than kept, so the chart only carries proven levels.
🔔 Comprehensive Native Alerts — proximity alerts for bullish and bearish zones, dedicated STRONG-zone proximity alerts (configurable, e.g. 7/10+), plus touch/retest and break events, so you never miss a key level interaction.
⚙️ Uniform or Natural Zone Height — normalize every zone to one ATR- or %-based thickness for a clean look, or anchor to the raw swing.
🚦 Performance Guards — a lookback window and a max-zones-kept cap keep load times fast on long histories; retired zones are fully removed, not just hidden.
🔧 Fully Customizable — std-dev color palette, transparency, borders, label size (Large by default), marker mode, scoring weights, pivot sensitivity, and max levels shown — all adjustable.
🎯 Why this algo is unique — standard pivot tools flood the chart with equal-weight lines. Strong Retest Zones filters, dedupes, and ranks them, then keeps only the levels that have proven they matter. It doesn't just show where a level was — it quantifies how strong it is from real interaction (touches, volume, rejection), giving you a clear read on which levels are holding and which are likely to break.
🚀 Apply to Gold (XAUUSD), Forex, Crypto, and Indices on any timeframe. Pivot sensitivity, zone height, lookback, and the strong threshold adapt it from scalping to swing trading.
🎯 How to use this? Focus on zones rated 7/10 or higher — these have the highest probability of producing a significant reaction. Watch the two-tone state to judge whether a level is holding or has flipped, and use the proximity and strong-zone alerts to prepare entries or exits.
⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE: This indicator identifies high-probability retest zones. It should NOT be used as a standalone signal for entering trades. Always use it alongside your own trading strategy, price action analysis, and other technical indicators to confirm setups and manage risk. Indicador
Gold Toolkit 22 [MatsukazeAlgo]🇬🇧 ENGLISH
A modular indicator that consolidates 22 Gold-specialized analysis tools into a single script. Each module can be toggled independently — enable one or two at a time for focused analysis. The shared infrastructure provides session awareness, Dollar Index correlation, and psychological price level detection across every module. Designed exclusively for XAUUSD on intraday timeframes.
Concepts
Modular Architecture -- Most indicators serve a single purpose: one trend filter, one oscillator, one pattern detector. For Gold traders who use multiple tools, this means loading 5–10 separate indicators, each consuming chart resources and requiring independent configuration. A modular architecture solves this by housing all tools within a single script, sharing a common infrastructure layer. Each module runs its own logic but inherits the same session detection, DXY feed, and psychological level engine. The result is consistent behavior across all tools without duplicate calculations.
Session-Dependent Behavior -- Gold does not trade the same way at all hours. The Asia session (19:00–03:00 ET) is characterized by tight ranges and stop runs that reverse at the London open. The London session (03:00–09:00 ET) produces directional breakouts driven by European institutional flow. The New York session (09:00–17:00 ET) carries the highest volume and tends to either continue the London move or reverse it sharply. An indicator that applies the same parameters across all three sessions is ignoring 60% of the context. Every module in this toolkit reads the current session and adjusts its signal thresholds accordingly. Asia signals require stronger confirmation. London signals favor trend continuation. NY signals weight volume more heavily.
Inverse Dollar Correlation -- Gold is priced in US Dollars. When the Dollar strengthens, Gold tends to fall. When the Dollar weakens, Gold tends to rise. This inverse relationship is not perfect on every bar, but over any meaningful sample it dominates. The toolkit reads TVC:DXY (US Dollar Index) daily data on every bar. Bull signals across all modules require a weak Dollar context (DXY close below open). Bear signals require a strong Dollar context. This single filter eliminates a substantial number of false signals that would otherwise fire against the macro trend.
Psychological Price Levels -- Gold reacts consistently at $50 and $100 round numbers. Institutional orders cluster at $4,500, $4,550, $4,600, and similar levels. When price approaches these levels, the toolkit tightens sensitivity and marks signals with a ★ indicator. A Stop Run Reversal scoring 85/100 at $4,550 is qualitatively different from the same score at $4,537 — the psychological level adds an independent layer of institutional confluence.
Modules
The 22 modules are organized into five categories. Each module is a complete analysis tool.
Trend Modules
01 ML Supertrend — A Supertrend variant with a session-learning engine. Tracks flip outcomes per session and adjusts the band multiplier over time. Sessions with low win rates get wider bands (fewer signals). Sessions with high win rates get tighter bands (more signals). Volume surge filter and RSI confirmation prevent signals in thin markets. The dashboard shows per-session win rates, current adapted multiplier, and learning state.
04 Parabolic SAR — Standard SAR calculation with two additions: age-based transparency fading and momentum scoring. Fresh SAR dots are fully opaque. As the trend ages, dots fade toward transparency, giving a visual read on trend maturity without cluttering the chart. The momentum score measures the distance between price and SAR relative to ATR. A high score means price is accelerating away from the SAR. A collapsing score warns of an impending flip. Multi-timeframe alignment check confirms whether the higher timeframe SAR agrees.
05 ACN Trend — An adaptive coral noise filter that outputs a smoothed trend line with risk zones above and below. The noise score quantifies how choppy the current market is. When noise exceeds the threshold, the background shades as a warning to avoid trading. The conviction meter is the inverse of noise — a high conviction reading means clean trend conditions. Bull/Bear signal counts per session track which sessions produce the most reliable signals for your timeframe.
09 Anchored Channels — A dual-layer channel system. Macro channels connect confirmed swing pivots and project forward with band widths derived from maximum deviation. Micro channels fit a short-term linear regression to the most recent bars. When price breaks the macro channel, it is classified as BRK (breakout). When price returns to the channel boundary, it is PB (pullback). When the micro channel aligns with the macro direction, it is CONT (continuation). The MTF screener checks two higher timeframes for directional agreement. A status badge labels the overall trend bias.
18 Asymmetric Trend — Uses different thresholds for entering and exiting a trend. The entry threshold is tight — price must move strongly to flip the trend. The exit threshold is wide — the trend persists through normal retracements. This asymmetry reduces whipsaws in ranging markets while catching genuine trend changes quickly. Gradient fill between the trend line and price shows acceleration visually. Reversal diamond markers appear at flip points with session tags and trend age.
Reversal Modules
02 Stop Run Reversal — Detects when price pierces a range boundary (liquidity grab) and reverses. Each event is scored 0–100 based on wick ratio, penetration depth, volume spike, DXY alignment, and session context. Zone boxes mark the reversal area with reference, invalidation, and target lines. A pending state tracker monitors setups that have not yet confirmed, preventing premature signals. Session and DXY tags on each label provide immediate context.
06 Arc Momentum — A non-linear RSI oscillator. Instead of plotting RSI as a flat line, the oscillator curves toward price in an arc. When the arc flips direction, a signal fires. Divergence detection compares RSI pivot extremes against price pivot extremes and flags when they disagree. The momentum zone classification (Overbought / Bull / Neutral / Bear / Oversold) shades the background for a quick visual read on the current state.
11 Harmonic Patterns — Scans for five harmonic patterns: Bat, Gartley, Butterfly, Crab, and Shark. Both bullish (XABCD with D at bottom) and bearish (XABCD with D at top) configurations are detected. Each pattern is scored based on session quality, DXY alignment, and proximity to psychological levels. Fibonacci projection levels are drawn at the PRZ (Potential Reversal Zone) showing 0.382, 0.618, 1.0, 1.272, and 1.618 targets. The tolerance parameter controls how strictly the Fibonacci ratios must match the textbook definitions.
16 RSI Swing Structure — Uses RSI overbought and oversold zones to define swing points. When RSI enters OB and price makes a high, that high is labeled. When RSI enters OS and price makes a low, that low is labeled. Each swing point is classified as HH (Higher High), HL (Higher Low), LH (Lower High), or LL (Lower Low). When the classification sequence breaks — for example, a HH followed by a LL — the indicator labels it as CHoCH (Change of Character). When the sequence continues — HH followed by another HH — it labels BOS (Break of Structure). Swing connecting lines visually link the pivots. RSI value appears on each label.
Structure Modules
03 EMA Inversion — Three EMAs (21, 55, 200) with ribbon fill. The indicator tracks Fair Value Gaps that form during trend moves. When an FVG is subsequently filled from the opposite direction (inverse FVG flip), a signal fires. Built-in SL/TP management uses the most recent swing high/low for stop placement and projects a 1:1 target. A cooldown timer prevents re-entry immediately after a stop-out. The trade state label shows whether the indicator considers the current position LONG, SHORT, or FLAT.
08 SwingRegress — Anchors linear regression channels to swing pivot confirmations. When a CHoCH occurs (price breaks the previous swing extreme), a new channel begins from the most recent opposite pivot. The channel slope and deviation are calculated from all bars within the segment. Band 1 and Band 2 at configurable standard deviations define the channel width. A linefill between the bands makes the channel body visible. Psychological price levels within the channel are drawn as dotted gold lines. A Bollinger/Keltner squeeze detector highlights when volatility compresses inside the channel — often a precursor to the next directional move.
10 S/R Zones — Builds support and resistance zones from volume-weighted pivot clustering. Nearby pivots are merged into zones. Each zone receives a strength score based on the number of touches, volume at touch, and recency. When price breaks through a zone, it is flagged. When price returns to a broken zone from the other side, it is flagged as a retest. Ghost zones keep broken levels visible with faded opacity. Star ratings provide a quick strength summary. An age-based decay ensures old, untested zones gradually disappear.
12 FVG Wave — Tracks Fair Value Gaps across the chart with session-colored rendering. Asia FVGs are rose, London FVGs are teal, NY FVGs are sky blue. Each FVG has a POC (midpoint) dotted line. When price touches the POC, a detection event fires. Age-based opacity fading dims old FVGs. Mitigation tracking removes FVGs that have been completely filled. Ghost mode optionally keeps mitigated FVGs visible in muted colors for reference.
17 OB Zone Study — Detects order blocks at displacement candles that follow swing pivots. Each OB is scored with a breakdown showing trend alignment, location quality, session, DXY confluence, and psychological level proximity. Mitigation tracking monitors whether price returns to the OB. Once mitigated, the OB is removed. Age-based opacity fading gradually dims unmitigated OBs that have been on the chart for a long time.
19 Vector SMC — Smart Money Concepts with a volume gate. FVGs and order blocks are only detected when the candle's volume exceeds the average by a configurable multiplier. This filters out structural patterns formed on low participation. OBs extend forward and are automatically invalidated when price closes through them. Sweep labels mark liquidity grabs at swing highs and lows where volume confirms institutional activity.
Session Modules
13 Session Range — Tracks the OHLC of Asia, London, and NY sessions in real time. A candle panel visualizes each session's range as a mini candlestick. 25% retracement lines for the London range identify the level where NY price action tends to react. H/M/L/O reference lines project key session levels forward. Regime classification analyzes the session structure pattern (e.g., London Partial Up, London Full Range). Asia sweep detection identifies whether the Asia high or low was taken during London. A stats table shows historical percentages for session behavior patterns.
15 Session Killzones — Draws boxes for Asia, London, NY AM, and NY PM killzone periods. When a killzone closes, its high and low are recorded as levels. These levels extend forward as dashed lines until price sweeps through them. Anticipation bars project the levels further for planning. When a sweep occurs, a detection label marks the bar. Session name labels identify each killzone box.
20 AlgoPath — Plots previous day high and low as horizontal lines. The equilibrium level (midpoint of PDH and PDL) is drawn as a dashed line. London session open and NY session open are drawn when each session begins. New day background shading marks the daily boundary. Whale candle detection flags abnormally large candles — those with body size exceeding a configurable ATR multiple — with session-colored labels showing the session name and exact time.
Volume and Correlation Modules
07 Minicharts — Displays Silver (XAG/USD), Dollar Index (DXY), and Gold Futures (GC1!) in a correlation panel. Each symbol shows EMA position (above/below). SMT (Smart Money Technique) divergence detection flags when Gold moves in the opposite direction to a correlated asset — a potential early warning of reversal.
14 Institutional Volume — Identifies accumulation and distribution phases using volume clustering analysis. When multiple high-volume candles with consistent directional bias appear within a lookback window, the indicator flags the zone. Climax volume detection identifies bars where volume × range reaches the highest level in the lookback period. Zone boxes mark the accumulation or distribution area on the chart.
21 Swing TPO — Builds Time Price Opportunity distributions anchored to swing points. The price range between swing pivots is divided into bins, and each TPO period assigns a letter to every visited bin. Gradient-colored boxes range from cool (low activity) to warm (high activity). The POC (Point of Control) line marks the highest-activity price. Psychological level detection flags when the POC lands near a $50/$100 round number.
22 VWAP — Dual-anchor Volume Weighted Average Price. The primary anchor resets on Session, Week, or Month boundaries. An optional second anchor provides a longer-term VWAP for confluence. Standard deviation bands at 1σ and 2σ show statistical extremes. Previous period VWAP, VAH (Value Area High), and VAL (Value Area Low) levels persist as reference lines with price labels. Band touch signals flag when price reaches the 2σ extreme. Slope direction indicates whether the VWAP is rising, falling, or flat.
How to Use
1. Open indicator settings. Under "Module Select," enable 1–2 modules.
2. Configure "Gold Settings" for session filtering, DXY, and psychological levels.
3. Apply to XAUUSD on your preferred intraday timeframe (5m–4h recommended).
4. Use the Style tab to show/hide individual signal shapes.
5. The module panel (top right) shows all 22 modules with the active one highlighted in gold.
Shared Infrastructure
Session Detection — Automatically identifies Asia (19:00–03:00 ET), London (03:00–09:00 ET), and New York (09:00–17:00 ET). Each module reads the current session for parameter adjustment and signal filtering.
DXY Feed — Pulls TVC:DXY daily open and close. Determines whether the Dollar is strengthening or weakening on the day. All modules use this for macro alignment.
ATR Normalization — All distance calculations (band widths, displacement thresholds, target projections) are normalized to the 14-period ATR. This ensures consistent behavior across timeframes and volatility regimes.
Psychological Level Engine — Configurable interval ($25, $50, or $100). Detects proximity to round numbers and flags signals near these levels with ★ markers. Multiple modules use this for confluence scoring.
Signal Bus — When any active module generates a Buy or Sell signal, it writes to a shared signal bus. The unified output shapes fire from this bus, providing a consistent visual regardless of which module produced the signal.
Module Panel — The top-right panel lists all 22 modules. The active module is highlighted in gold. Inactive modules are dimmed. Session, DXY, and daily range are displayed in the header and footer.
Input Reference
Module Select — 22 boolean toggles, one per module. Default: Module 01 ON, all others OFF.
Gold Settings — Session Filter (ON), Asia Signals (OFF), London Signals (ON), NY Signals (ON), Show DXY (ON), Psych $50/$100 (ON), Psych Interval (50), Show Panel (ON).
Each module has its own parameter group accessible when that module is enabled.

22のゴールド専用分析モジュールを1つのインジケーターに統合したモジュラー型ツール。各モジュールは設定パネルから個別にON/OFF可能 — 1〜2個ずつ有効にして使用。共通インフラがセッション認識、ドルインデックス相関、心理的価格帯検出を全モジュールに提供。XAUUSD日中足専用設計。
コンセプト
モジュラーアーキテクチャ -- 多くのインジケーターは単一目的。複数ツールを使うゴールドトレーダーは5〜10個のインジを個別にロードする必要がある。モジュラーアーキテクチャはすべてのツールを単一スクリプトに収容し、共通インフラ層を共有することで解決。各モジュールは独自ロジックを実行しつつ、同一のセッション検出、DXYフィード、心理的価格帯エンジンを継承。
セッション依存型動作 -- ゴールドは時間帯によって異なる動きをする。アジア（19:00–03:00 ET）はタイトレンジとストップラン。ロンドン（03:00–09:00 ET）は欧州機関投資家フローによる方向性ブレイクアウト。ニューヨーク（09:00–17:00 ET）は最大ボリュームでロンドンの継続か急反転。全セッションに同じパラメータを適用するインジケーターは文脈の60%を無視している。本ツールキットの全モジュールは現在のセッションを読み取り、シグナル閾値を調整。
ドル逆相関 -- ゴールドはUSドル建て。ドル高→ゴールド下落、ドル安→ゴールド上昇の逆相関が支配的。TVC:DXY日足データを毎バー読み取り、Bullシグナルはドル安文脈、Bearシグナルはドル高文脈を要求。このフィルターだけでマクロトレンドに逆行する偽シグナルの大部分を排除。
心理的価格帯 -- ゴールドは$50/$100刻みのラウンドナンバーで一貫して反応。機関投資家の注文が$4,500、$4,550、$4,600等に集中。価格がこれらのレベルに接近すると感度を引き締め、★マーカーでシグナルを強調。

HTF SMC Confluence[KG]HTF SMC Confluence is basically lazy trader's best friend — because who has time to actually switch timeframes like some kind of animal?
It slaps a big higher timeframe candle right onto your chart, throws in Fair Value Gaps, Market Structure Shifts, and Displacement Zones, and whispers "institutional money was HERE" so you don't have to go hunting for it yourself.
It was built around one gloriously obvious idea: that trading a 5-minute chart while completely ignoring the daily is like navigating a highway by only looking at your hood ornament. This tool finally makes you look up — without making you do any extra work. Confluence, served hot, on a single canvas. You're welcome.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
WHAT EACH COMPONENT DOES
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
1. HTF CANDLE (plotted to the right of price)
A full OHLC candle from a higher timeframe is rendered live to the right of
your current price action. It updates tick by tick — the body, wick, and
color all reflects the evolving HTF candle in real time. Up to 5 historical
HTF candles can be displayed side by side for recent context. The wick is
precisely centered on the candle body, and the candle repositions itself
automatically on every bar so it always floats cleanly beyond the rightmost
price bar.
What it tells you: the current mood of the higher timeframe. A bullish daily
candle forming while the 5m sells off is a very different scenario than a
bearish daily candle in distribution.
2. HIGH / LOW LINES
Solid horizontal lines are drawn from the HTF candle's high and low, running
across the chart and labeled "High" and "Low." These mark the range that
institutional players defined on the higher timeframe. Price tends to respect
these levels — they act as magnets, decision zones, and areas of liquidity.
3. MIDLINE (dotted)
A dotted line sits exactly halfway between the HTF High and Low — the
equilibrium of the HTF range. In SMC theory, this is called the "50% level"
or "CE" (Consequent Encroachment). Price retracing to this level inside a
bullish candle is often an optimal entry zone. It is subtle by design —
informational, not dominant.
4. FAIR VALUE GAP (FVG)
A Fair Value Gap is a three-candle imbalance pattern. When a candle moves so
aggressively in one direction that it leaves a gap between the first and
third candle's wicks — price skipped over that zone. Institutions tend to
return to these gaps to "fill" the imbalance before continuing the move.
Bearish FVGs are highlighted in red, bullish in green. A label mark each
box. Up to a user-defined maximum number of FVGs are tracked and old ones
are automatically removed.
5. MARKET STRUCTURE SHIFT (MSS)
An MSS occurs the moment price decisively closes beyond a prior swing point,
signaling a change in directional intent. A bearish MSS is when price
closes below a recent swing low — the market is no longer making higher
lows. A bullish MSS is when price closes above a recent swing high. A
horizontal line is drawn at the broken level and labeled "MSS." Up to 5
recent MSS events are displayed; older ones clean up automatically.
6. DISPLACEMENT ZONE
Displacement is a series of consecutive strong candles in one direction
where the average body size exceeds a multiple of the ATR. It represents
institutional aggression — the moment "smart money" stepped in hard and
drove price. These zones are shaded on the chart and serve as reference
for where the real move originated, helping traders distinguish displacement
from manipulation.

─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
The indicator is designed around a top-down multi-timeframe workflow. The HTF
candle shown on the right should always be at least 4-6x the current chart's
timeframe. Below are the most practical pairings:
CHART TIMEFRAME / HTF CANDLE SETTING/ USE CASE
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
1 minute................... 15 minute ...............Scalping with intraday structure
3 minute ............................30 minute .................Scalping with session context
5 minute ............................1 hour .....................Intraday momentum trades
5 minute ........................... 4 hour .................... Intraday with swing context
15 minute ..........................4 hour .................... Intraday swing setups
15 minute ..........................Daily (1D) ................ Most common: intraday vs daily
1 hour ..............................Daily (1D) .................Swing trades
1 hour ..............................Weekly (1W) ..............Position trade entries
4 hour ..............................Weekly (1W) ..............Swing / position trading

HOW TO TRADE WITH THIS INDICATOR
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
The indicator does not generate buy or sell signals. Instead, it provides a
structured framework for identifying high-probability setups using confluence.
The following is a general workflow:
STEP 1 — READ THE HTF CANDLE
Before anything else, look at the HTF candle on the right. Is it bullish or
bearish? Is it nearing its high or low? This tells you about the directional bias for
the session. Only take trades in the direction of the HTF candle unless you
have strong evidence of a reversal.
STEP 2 — IDENTIFY THE RANGE
The High and Low lines define the playing field. Price at or near the HTF
High is at resistance — look for bearish setups. Price at or near the HTF
Low is at support — look for bullish setups. The midline is a secondary
decision zone — often acts as a magnet when price is between the levels.
STEP 3 — WAIT FOR STRUCTURE (MSS)
An MSS on the lower timeframe in the direction of your HTF bias is one of
the strongest confirmation signals. For example: if the daily candle is
bullish, wait for a bullish MSS on the 5-minute chart — a close above a
swing high — before entering long. This tells you short-term structure has
flipped in your favour.
STEP 4 — LOOK FOR AN FVG ENTRY
After an MSS, price often retraces into a Fair Value Gap before continuing.
This gap is your precision entry zone. Enter at the edge of the FVG closest
to current price. Place your stop loss below the FVG (for longs) or above
it (for shorts). The FVG acts as your entry trigger and risk anchor.
STEP 5 — CONFIRM WITH DISPLACEMENT
If the MSS was preceded by a Displacement Zone — meaning price moved
aggressively to create the structure break — the setup is higher quality.
Displacement followed by a retracement into an FVG, with an MSS confirming,
is the textbook SMC entry pattern this indicator is designed to highlight.
STEP 6 — SET TARGETS
Common targets are the HTF High (if long) or HTF Low (if short). The
midline is a partial-take-profit level. Always assess the risk-to-reward
before entry — aim for a minimum of 1:2.
