Swing High/Low with Liquidity Sweeps🧠 Overview
This indicator identifies swing highs and swing lows based on user-defined candle lengths and checks for liquidity sweeps—situations where the price breaks a previous swing level but then closes back inside, indicating a potential false breakout or stop hunt. It also supports visual labeling and alerts for these events.
⚙️ Inputs
Swing Length (must be odd number ≥ 3):
Determines how many candles are used to identify swing highs/lows. The central candle must be higher or lower than all neighbors within the range.
Example: If swingLength = 5, the central candle must be higher/lower than the 2 candles on both sides.
Sweep Lookback (bars):
Defines how many bars to look back for possible liquidity sweeps.
Show Swing Labels (checkbox):
Optionally display labels on the chart when a swing high or low is detected.
Show Sweep Labels (checkbox):
Optionally display labels on the chart when a liquidity sweep occurs.
🕯️ Swing Detection Logic
A Swing High is detected when the high of the central candle is greater than the highs of all candles around it (as per the defined length).
A Swing Low is detected when the low of the central candle is lower than the lows of surrounding candles.
Swing labels are placed slightly above (for highs) or below (for lows) the candle.
💧 Liquidity Sweep Logic
A Sweep High is triggered if:
The current high breaks above a previously detected swing high,
And then the candle closes below that swing high,
Within the configured lookback window.
A Sweep Low is triggered if:
The current low breaks below a previous swing low,
And then closes above it,
Within the lookback window.
These are often seen as stop hunts or fake breakouts.
🔔 Alerts
Sweep High Alert: Triggered when a sweep above a swing high occurs.
Sweep Low Alert: Triggered when a sweep below a swing low occurs.
You can use these to set up TradingView alerts to notify you of potential liquidity grabs.
📊 Use Cases
Identifying market structure shifts.
Spotting fake breakouts and potential reversals.
Assisting in smart money concepts and liquidity-based trading.
Supporting entry timing in trend continuation or reversal strategies.
Candlestick analysis
LaCrazy Smash CandleLaCrazy Smash Candle highlights powerful engulfing candles that signal potential momentum reversals or breakout continuation.
Smash Long: The candle's low touches or dips below the prior candle's low, then closes above the previous high with a strong body (minimum % of the candle range).
Smash Short: The candle's high touches or exceeds the prior high, then closes below the previous low with a strong body.
These “Smash” moves often occur at key pivot points, signaling decisive rejections or trend continuation. Customize the body strength filter to match your strategy needs.
BK AK-SILENCER🚨 Introducing BK AK-SILENCER — Volume Footprint Warfare, Right on the Price Bars 🚨
This isn’t a traditional indicator.
This is a tactical weapon — engineered to expose institutional behavior directly in the bar data, using volume logic, CVD divergence, and spike detection to pinpoint who’s really in control of the tape.
No panels. No clutter.
Just silent execution — built directly into price itself.
🔥 Why "SILENCER"?
Because real power moves in silence.
Institutions don’t chase — they build positions quietly, in size, beneath the surface.
BK AK-SILENCER gives you a real-time edge by visually revealing their footprints through color-coded bar behavior, divergence signals, and volume spike alerts — all directly on your chart.
🔹 “AK” honors my mentor A.K., whose training forged my trading discipline.
🔹 “SILENCER” represents the institutional mindset — high impact, low visibility. This tool lets you trade like them: without noise, without hesitation, with deadly clarity.
🧠 What Is BK AK-SILENCER?
A bar-level institutional detection tool, purpose-built to:
✅ Color-code bars based on volume aggression and close-location inside range
✅ Detect real-time bullish and bearish divergences between price and volume delta
✅ Tag volume spikes with a $ symbol to expose potential traps or silent position builds
✅ Overlay VWAP for real-time mean-reversion biasing
No extra windows.
No indicators talking over each other.
Just pure volume-logic weaponry embedded into price.
⚙️ What This Weapon Deploys
🔸 Bar Coloring Logic (Volume Footprint)
🟢 Power Buy = Strong close near highs on elevated volume
🟩 Accumulation = Weak close but still heavy volume
🔴 Power Sell = Strong close near lows on heavy selling
🟥 Distribution / Weakness = Low close without commitment
❗ Extreme Volume Spikes marked with $ — using standard deviation to highlight institutional bursts
🔸 CVD Divergence Detection
→ Tracks cumulative volume delta and compares it to price pivot behavior
Bullish Divergence = Price makes lower lows, CVD makes higher lows → hidden accumulation
Bearish Divergence = Price makes higher highs, CVD makes lower highs → hidden distribution
All plotted directly on bars with triangle markers.
🔸 VWAP Overlay (Optional)
→ Anchored VWAP gives immediate context for intraday bias — above VWAP = demand, below = supply
🎯 How to Use BK AK-SILENCER
🔹 Silent Reversal Detection
Bullish divergence + Power Buy bar + VWAP reclaim = sniper entry
Bearish divergence + Power Sell bar + VWAP rejection = trap confirmation
🔹 Volume-Based Entry Triggers
Look for Power Buy + $ spike after a pullback → watch for quiet reversal
Accumulation colors clustering? Institutions are likely loading silently
🔹 Institutional Trap Warnings
$ spike + red distribution bar at highs = time to exit or flip
Weakness bar below VWAP? Don’t chase the long.
🛡️ Why It Matters
✅ Clean — it integrates into price action, no separate panels
✅ Silent — tracks institutions who build without alerts or indicators
✅ Tactical — no fluff, no lag, just real-time behavior recognition
This tool is ideal for:
🔸 Scalpers reading bar-by-bar
🔸 Intraday swing traders using VWAP and structure
🔸 Professionals who need volume behavior decoded in real-time
🔸 Anyone who wants signal without clutter
🙏 Final Thoughts
This tool isn’t just about trading — it’s about tactical awareness.
🔹 Dedicated to my mentor A.K., whose wisdom runs deep in every logic tree.
🔹 Above all, I give thanks to Gd, the source of clarity, courage, and conviction.
Without Him, even the sharpest system is blind.
With Him, we execute with structure, purpose, and divine alignment.
⚡ No noise. No clutter. No delay. Just raw, silent execution.
🔥 BK AK-SILENCER — Bar-Level Volume Footprint Precision 🔥
Gd bless every step you take in this market.
Trade with clarity, move with intention. 🙏
RTH Candles Overlay--Overview
Unlock a new way to analyze Regular Trading Hours (RTH) with this powerful indicator! Designed for traders who focus on the 09:30–16:00 market session (default EST), it redefines hourly price action by aligning candlesticks with the RTH start at 09:30, rather than the standard XX:00. It also plots hourly high/low lines and projection zones to pinpoint potential support, resistance, and price targets. Plus, it displays compact hourly candlesticks on the right side of your chart for quick, at-a-glance analysis.
--Key Features
Shifted RTH Candles: Unlike standard hourly candles starting at XX:00, this indicator aligns candles with the RTH open at 09:30 (e.g., 09:30–10:30, 10:30–11:30). This captures true market momentum from the opening bell, offering a more accurate view of price action.
Session High/Low Lines: Marks the high and low prices for each session with clear, labeled lines (e.g., “0930-1030 High”) to highlight key levels.
Projection Zones: Draws shaded boxes above and below each session’s range (default: 0.25 and 0.5 Projection levels) to show potential price targets or reversal zones.
Shifted Candlesticks: Displays each shifted Hour as a candlestick (open, high, low, close) on the right side of the chart, with bullish candles in green and bearish in gray for easy comparison.
Vertical Markers: Dotted vertical lines mark the start of each period (e.g., 09:30) for clear time segmentation.
Historical Analysis: View up to 5 days of past sessions to spot trends and recurring levels.
Fully Customizable: Adjust session times, timezone, colors, and projection levels to fit your trading style.
--How It Works
RTH-Aligned Candles: The indicator divides the trading day into up to seven sessions (default: hourly from 09:30 to 16:00 EST). Each session starts at times like 09:30, 10:30, etc., aligning with the RTH open instead of standard hourly intervals. This shift ensures you see price action as it unfolds during key market hours.
High/Low Lines: Horizontal lines mark the highest and lowest prices for each session, with customizable labels for easy reference.
Fibonacci Zones: Shaded boxes extend above (0.25 to 0.5 times the session’s range) and below (–0.25 to –0.5) each session’s high/low, highlighting potential price targets or areas where price may reverse.
Candles: Each shifted hour is summarized as a candlestick on the right side of the chart, showing open, high, low, and close prices. Bullish candles are green, bearish are gray, and you can adjust their size and spacing.
Vertical Lines: Dotted lines at the start of each session (e.g., 09:30) help you visualize session boundaries.
Historical Data: Analyze up to 5 days of past sessions to identify patterns or key levels.
--Settings
Timezone: Set your market’s timezone (default: EST, -4 hours).
Session Times: Customize up to seven sessions (default: hourly from 09:30 to 16:00).
Max Days to Plot: Show up to 5 days of historical sessions (default: 1 day).
Candle Styles: Toggle session candles, adjust width, spacing, and offset. Customize bullish (green) and bearish (gray) colors.
High/Low Lines: Enable/disable high/low lines, set color (default: gray), style (solid, dotted, dashed), and label size. Optionally show session open lines and labels.
Fibonacci Zones: Turn projection zones on/off, adjust levels (default: 0.25 and 0.5), and choose fill color (default: translucent gray).
Vertical Lines: Toggle session start lines and customize their color and style.
--Best Used For
Day Trading: Spot key levels and price targets during RTH sessions, aligned with the 09:30 market open.
RTH Analysis: Get a clearer picture of price action with candles that match the market’s true rhythm, starting at 09:30 instead of XX:00.
Fibonacci Trading: Use projection zones to identify potential support, resistance, or breakout levels.
Session Comparison: Compare price action across sessions using compact candlesticks and historical data.
--How to Use
1. Add the indicator to your TradingView chart (works best on 1-hour or lower timeframes).
2. Set the timezone and session times to match your market (default: 09:30–16:00 EST).
3. Enable/disable features like Fibonacci zones, high/low lines, or session candles in the settings.
4. Use the shaded zones to anticipate price targets or reversals based on Fibonacci levels.
5. Analyze session candles and historical data to spot trends or recurring levels.
--Why This Indicator?
The RTH Session Candles with projection Zones indicator is a game-changer for traders who want to focus on the market’s true rhythm. By aligning candles with the 09:30 RTH open, it captures price action as it happens, unlike standard hourly charts. Paired with projection zones and clear session markings, it’s a simple yet powerful tool to identify key levels and potential price moves. Perfect for day traders, swing traders, or anyone who wants a cleaner, more precise view of the market.
Structure Break + Confirmation (First Signal Only)Swing Detection:
A Swing High is detected when the high of the central candle (based on a lookback period) is greater than the highs of the candles before and after.
A Swing Low is detected when the low of the central candle is lower than the lows of the candles before and after.
Break of Structure (BOS):
A BOS Up is confirmed when a candle closes above the most recent swing high (with a body close).
A BOS Down is confirmed when a candle closes below the most recent swing low.
Confirmation (CONF):
A CONF Up is triggered when price makes a new high after a BOS Up.
A CONF Down is triggered when price makes a new low after a BOS Down.
Only the first confirmation after a BOS is plotted.
Visuals:
Cross marks (×) are plotted at swing points.
BOS signals are shown with green (up) and red (down) labels.
CONF signals are shown with lime (up) and orange (down) triangle markers.
Dotted lines are drawn at the levels of broken swing highs/lows.
ICT Sensitive Key Levels [Mariinus]Indicator Overview – Inspired by ICT Concepts
This indicator is inspired by the teachings of Inner Circle Trader (ICT), whose philosophies and principles have greatly shaped the way I view price action. One of the most powerful lessons that stuck with me is his quote:
"All you need is OHLC."
Another fundamental concept that underpins this tool is the idea that:
"Price is constantly moving in cycles from Premium or Discount to Equilibrium, from Equilibrium to Discount to Premium."
With these core ideas in mind, this indicator was developed to help traders who are already using an ICT-based framework. In addition to plotting the standard OHLC levels, the ICT Sensitive Key Levels indicator also includes derived levels that provide deeper Market insight. These include the Equilibrium of the full candle range (High to Low) as well as the Equilibrium of the wicks – offering a more nuanced view of price balance and potential turning points, in line with ICT’s core concepts.
⚠️ Important Disclaimer:
This is not a standalone trading plan.
This is not a buy or sell signal generator.
Instead, this tool is designed to support traders who follow ICT principles by helping them identify higher-probability PD Arrays – the key zones where setups are more likely to occur. If your trading plan includes looking for specific PD Arrays and structural frameworks taught by ICT, then this indicator is a visual aid to refine and focus your attention on the areas where your framework has a higher probability of playing out.
🔁 Backtesting & Daily Preparation
In addition to improving your real-time analysis, this indicator is also a valuable tool for accelerated backtesting . Rather than manually drawing out levels, the indicator automatically provides them, allowing you to analyze past price action faster and more efficiently .
It’s also ideal for preparing your trading day . By loading the indicator before the session starts, you get a clear visual of key levels that may play a role in your strategy. And if you find the chart too cluttered with lines, simply copy the ones that matter to you, draw them manually, and then turn the indicator off to keep your chart clean while keeping your zones intact.
⚙️ Explanation of the Settings
You can combine up to 4 timeframes to monitor their respective levels while operating on a lower timeframe. For each timeframe, you can:
• Set a lookback period to control how far back you want to calculate levels.
• Choose to display or hide the levels of the current candle , which helps you monitor intra-candle ebbs and flows.
Each level (e.g., High, Low, Open, Close, Equilibrium) can be customized:
• Color
• Line style
• Line width
• To hide a level , simply set its opacity to zero.
You can also enable dividers to clearly mark the start and end of higher timeframe candles on your lower timeframe chart. These dividers are also fully customizable:
• Color
• Style
• Width
• And again, if you prefer a cleaner chart, you can set the opacity to zero to hide them completely.
This setup gives you full control over how much or how little visual data you want to see, aligning the tool with your personal trading workflow.
💡 Example Use Cases
These examples are for educational purposes only. This tool is not financial advice and should always be used in conjunction with your own trading plan—whether it involves Fair Value Gaps, Order Blocks, or a custom combination of ICT-based elements.
• Example 1: A 1H Bearish Fair Value Gap overlapping with the Equilibrium Key Level of the Previous Day's Range – a high-probability zone for reaction.
• Example 2: A 1H Bullish Fair Value Gap in Discount, overlapping with the Equilibrium of Two Days Ago, followed by a move into a 1H Bearish Order Block that coincides with the Previous Day’s Equilibrium.
• Example 3: The same 1H PD Arrays viewed from a 4H chart, alongside Weekly Price Levels – giving you a higher timeframe context that supports or invalidates lower timeframe setups.
• Example 4: A combination of two timeframes for added context. A 4H Bullish Fair Value Gap is nested inside the current Weekly Equilibrium Key Level . On the 15M chart , we observe a reaction that creates an Inversion Fair Value Gap , which aligns with the Equilibrium Key Level of the previous 4H candle .
This indicator doesn’t replace your trading plan—it enhances your ability to execute it. It’s a precision tool made for ICT traders who understand context, structure, and probability.

Order Blocks v2Order Blocks v2 – Smart OB Detection with Time & FVG Filters
Order Blocks v2 is an advanced tool designed to identify potential institutional footprints in the market by dynamically plotting bullish and bearish order blocks.
This indicator refines classic OB logic by combining:
Fractal-based break conditions
Time-level filtering (Power of 3)
Optional Fair Value Gap (FVG) confirmation
Real-time plotting and auto-invalidation
Perfect for traders using ICT, Smart Money, or algorithmic timing models like Hopplipka.
🧠 What the indicator does
Detects order blocks after break of bullish/bearish fractals
Supports 3-bar or 5-bar fractal structures
Allows OB detection based on close breaks or high/low breaks
Optionally confirms OBs only if followed by a Fair Value Gap within N candles
Filters OBs based on specific time levels (3, 7, 11, 14) — core anchors in many algorithmic models
Automatically deletes invalidated OBs once price closes through the zone
⚙️ How it works
The indicator:
Tracks local fractal highs/lows
Once a fractal is broken by price, it backtracks to identify the best OB candle (highest bullish or lowest bearish)
Validates the level by checking:
OB type logic (close or HL break)
Time stamp match with algorithmic time anchors (e.g. 3, 7, 11, 14 – known from the Power of 3 concept)
Optional FVG confirmation after OB
Plots OB zones as lines (body or wick-based) and removes them if invalidated by a candle close
This ensures traders see only valid, active levels — removing noise from broken or out-of-context zones.
🔧 Customization
Choose 3-bar or 5-bar fractals
OB detection type: close break or HL break
Enable/disable OBs only on times 3, 7, 11, 14 (Hopplipka style)
Optional: require nearby FVG for validation
Line style: solid, dashed, or dotted
Adjust OB length, width, color, and use body or wick for OB height
🚀 How to use it
Add the script to your chart
Choose your preferred OB detection mode and filters
Use plotted OB zones to:
Anticipate price rejections and reversals
Validate Smart Money or ICT-based entry zones
Align setups with algorithmic time sequences (3, 7, 11, 14)
Filter out invalid OBs automatically, keeping your chart clean
The tool is useful on any timeframe but performs best when combined with a liquidity-based or time-anchored trading model.
💡 What makes it original
Combines fractal logic with OB confirmation and time anchors
Implements time-based filtering inspired by Hopplipka’s interpretation of the "Power of 3"
Allows OB validation via optional FVG follow-up — rarely available in public indicators
Auto-cleans invalidated OBs to reduce clutter
Designed to reflect market structure logic used by institutions and algorithms
💬 Why it’s worth using
Order Blocks v2 simplifies one of the most nuanced parts of SMC: identifying clean and high-probability OBs.
It removes subjectivity, adds clear timing logic, and integrates optional confluence tools — like FVG.
For traders serious about algorithmic-level structure and clean setups, this tool delivers both logic and clarity.
⚠️ Important
This indicator:
Is not a signal generator or financial advice tool
Is intended for experienced traders using OB/SMC/time-based logic
Does not predict market direction — it provides visual structural levels only
VegaAlgo – Rating ViewVegaAlgo – Rating View is a market condition analysis tool designed to evaluate the current price structure.
The indicator calculates a RATING (from 0 to 100) that reflects how clean, directional, and structured the recent price movement is. The rating is based on the number of price direction changes (from bullish to bearish candles and vice versa) within a selected period. Fewer direction changes indicate a clearer trend and result in a higher rating, while a choppy or highly volatile market leads to a lower score.
Additionally, the indicator provides directional signals on three key timeframes — 1M, 5M, and 15M, using a comparison of fast and slow moving averages. This allows traders to quickly assess the dominant trend both locally and across higher timeframes.
This script is intended for visual market analysis only and should not be considered financial advice.

⬜ Multi-Layered Internal Analysis: A dynamic and live, adaptive line powers the core of Hive Bars. It recalibrates constantly, tracking market structure in real time. Every bar is formed in relation to this internal baseline, giving immediate context to price behavior. You choose the data that drives this line—open, close, high, low, or custom blends—to match your style.
⬜ Intelligent Bar Formation Sequences: Bars are created when the market speaks, not when the clock ticks. A built-in pattern engine reads the flow and waits for real structure to form. This allows the indicator to autonomously consolidate price action, presenting a cleaner, more coherent visualization of trend development as it truly unfolds, rather than fragmented snapshots based on time.
⬜ Visual Signal Precision: "Hive Bars" spring to life with an intuitively powerful coloring system. While primary colors (Green for upward bias, Red for downward bias) denote the prevailing market direction, the "Hive Bars" indicator introduces distinctively colored "Signal Hive Bars". These specialized bars emerge when the market price exhibits a particularly robust, high-conviction interaction with the adaptive internal baseline, standing out instantly and often mark key turning points or breakouts you want to act on.
⬜ Daily Reset Option: For intraday traders, there’s a reset feature that clears the internal build-up at the start of each new trading day. This ensures fresh, unbiased perspectives that are meticulously tailored to the distinct market dynamics and cyclic rhythms of the current trading day.
⬜ Adjustable Sensitivity: With Hive Smoothing, you’re in full control. This setting lets you fine-tune how sensitive the bars are to price movement. Want tighter, faster signals? Dial it down. Prefer broader, more filtered setups? Turn it up. You decide when a new Hive Bar forms—and when a Signal Bar confirms. It’s all based on how you trade and how your asset moves. No guesswork, no one-size-fits-all defaults. Hive Bars adapts to your strategy and trading style, not the other way around.

📊 Strategic Calibration
Access the indicator's comprehensive settings panel to meticulously calibrate its powerful engines and unlock its full potential:
⚙ "Internal EMA Config"
Configure the internal adaptive baseline by choosing its source (e.g., CLOSE, HL/2) and its specific EMA length. This shapes the core reference point for the dynamic formation of the "Hive Bars."
🤖 "CONFIG Group"
Here, you decide if you want "Daily New Start" for session-based analytical resets (particularly beneficial for intraday strategies). The "Hive Smoothing" input allows you to control a further layer of consolidation for the "Hive Bars."
🟩🟥 "Color": Customize the appearance of both standard "Hive Bars" and "Signal Hive Bars" to suit your visual preferences, enhancing their immediate interpretability.
🧭 Empirical Exploration
Experimentation with these parameters is paramount. Dedicate time to exploring different combinations across various assets and timeframes to discover the optimal configuration that resonates with your unique trading methodology and the inherent volatility of the market being analyzed.
👀 Interpreting the Unveiled Market Reality: Once calibrated, the "Hive Bars" will present a strikingly clear and actionable picture of market dynamics:
+ Green/Red Hive Bars: These visually denote the consolidated directional bias of the market over the reconstructed period. A sustained sequence of Green "Hive Bars" suggests pervasive bullish pressure and an upward path of least resistance, while a series of Red "Hive Bars" indicates dominant bearish control and a clear downward momentum.
+ "Signal Hive Bars" (Distinct Colors): Pay close attention to these specially colored "Hive Bars." They signify critical moments where the reconstructed price action exhibits a particularly strong, high-conviction interaction with its adaptive internal baseline. These often precede or confirm significant market movements and serve as your clearest, most reliable visual triggers for potential shifts in market control.
⛓️ Intermittent Appearance: Observe that "Hive Bars" do not necessarily appear for every single native time unit of your chart. They are intelligently reconstructed and consolidated representations of price action, appearing only when specific internal conditions are met to present a coherent, high-impact view of distinct market phases.
🔗 Harnessing Advanced External Synergy: To unlock a new dimension of analytical power, profoundly enhance your existing indicator suite by integrating the output of "Hive Bars" as the data source for other external indicators. When adding or configuring indicators such as RSI, Stochastic Oscillators, various Moving Averages (EMA, SMA), or any other indicator that prompts for a 'source' input, you can now select the purified output of the "Hive Bars" as your desired data stream.
For oscillators (e.g., RSI, MACD), select the close or a similar relevant output from "Hive Bars" as your source. This allows the oscillator to react to the purified, consolidated momentum of the "Hive Bars" rather than the potentially noisy raw price data, leading to smoother and more meaningful oscillator signals.
For moving averages (e.g., EMA, SMA), utilize the close or other pertinent "Hive Bar" output as your source. This provides an exceptionally smooth, highly responsive, and less choppy average that precisely tracks the true underlying trend as identified by "Hive Bars." This unique capability allows for the construction of powerfully layered and synergistic trading strategies.
📢 Setting Up Proactive Alerts for Critical Events: Leverage the newly incorporated alert capabilities to maintain real-time awareness of pivotal market developments, even when not actively monitoring your charts.
You can now choose to be alerted specifically when a "New Hive Bar Closed" (signifying the definitive completion of a major market phase as identified by the indicator) or when a "New Signal Hive Bar Closed" (highlighting a high-conviction market event that warrants immediate attention due to its pronounced significance).

Open Range Breakout (ORB) with Alerts
🚀 ChartsAlgo – Open Range Breakout (ORB) with Alerts
The Open Range Breakout (ORB) Indicator by ChartsAlg is designed for intraday traders looking to capitalize on price movements after the market’s opening range. This tool is especially effective for futures (MNQ, MES) and high-volatility stocks or crypto where initial volatility sets the tone for the session.
This indicator identifies a user-defined opening range window, plots the high/low lines of that range, and visually alerts users when price breaks out above or below the range — with options to customize breakout repetitions, background fill, and alerts.
💡 What is an Open Range Breakout (ORB)?
The opening range represents the high and low established during the first few minutes of the trading session — usually 15 or 30 minutes. Many intraday strategies are based on the idea that breaking out of this initial range often signals strong momentum and trend continuation.
Traders often enter:
Long when price breaks above the range high.
Short when price breaks below the range low.
⚙️ How It Works
You define a session window (e.g., 09:30–09:45 EST).
The indicator tracks the high and low during this time.
Once the session ends, the high and low become your range breakout levels.
The indicator then:
Plots lines for visual clarity
Optionally fills background between the range
Triggers breakout signals if price crosses the levels
Provides alerts when breakouts occur
🛠️ Settings Breakdown
🔹 Session Settings
Range Session: Set your preferred window (e.g., 0930–0945). Can be premarket, first 30 mins, or any custom time.
Time zone: Use "America/New York" for EST (default) or change to "GMT+0" for international traders.
🔹 Breakout Settings
Bullish Breakout Signals: Number of allowed breakout alerts above the range.
Bearish Breakout Signals: Number of allowed breakout alerts below the range.
This prevents repeated alerts once breakout has been confirmed.
🔹 Display Settings
Show Background Fill: Fills area between high/low of the range for easier visual analysis.
Show Breakout Signals: Triangle markers plotted on the chart when breakouts happen.
Only Show Today’s Range: Keeps the chart clean by showing only the most current day’s range.
🔹 Color Settings
Range High/Low Line Colors: Choose any color for clarity.
Range Fill Color: Customize the highlight area for your chart style.
📊 Chart Features
Range High/Low Lines: Automatically plotted after range session ends.
Visual Fill Box: Optional background shading between the opening range.
Triangle Breakout Markers: Appear at the breakout candle.
Alerts: Can be used with TradingView’s alert system to notify you of breakouts in real-time.
🔔 Alerts
Two alert conditions are built in:
Bullish Breakout: Triggers when price breaks above the high of the range.
Bearish Breakout: Triggers when price breaks below the low of the range.
Example Alert Message:
📈 “Bullish Breakout above Open Range on AAPL!”
To activate:
Click “🔔 Alerts” on TradingView.
Set condition to this script.
Choose “ORB Breakout Up” or “ORB Breakout Down”.
Choose alert frequency and notification method.

Williams Fractals with Buy/Sell Signals🧠 Concept:
This indicator is based on the concept of fractal swing highs and lows, commonly used in Bill Williams’ trading methods. A fractal forms when a candle’s high or low is higher/lower than a set number of candles on both sides. This structure helps identify local market turning points.
⚙️ Inputs:
Fractal Sensitivity (swingSensitivity):
Number of candles required on each side of the central bar to validate a fractal.
For example, if set to 2, a swing high is detected when a bar’s high is higher than the previous 2 bars and the next 2 bars.
✅ Features:
Fractal Detection:
Plots white triangles above swing highs (down fractals).
Plots white triangles below swing lows (up fractals).
Buy/Sell Signals:
Buy Signal: Triggered when the candle closes above the most recent down fractal.
Sell Signal: Triggered when the candle closes below the most recent up fractal.
Signals alternate — a Buy must follow a Sell and vice versa to reduce noise.
Signal Labels:
"BUY" label appears below the candle in green.
"SELL" label appears above the candle in red.
Alerts:
Real-time alerts are available for both Buy and Sell signals via alertcondition().
📌 Use Case:
This indicator can help you:
Detect short-term reversals.
Confirm breakouts or structure shifts.
Time entries with clear logic based on price action.
X HL QA market structure tool designed to frame price action within a defined context of prior session dynamics. It accomplishes this by anchoring a set of reference levels to the high, low, and open prices of a user-specified higher timeframe (e.g., 4H, 1D, etc.) and projecting those levels onto the current chart for ongoing analysis.
At its core, the indicator establishes a reference range—derived from the previous completed instance of the selected timeframe—and overlays this on the current timeframe. This range serves as a foundational structure for price interpretation in the current session.
Building upon this framework, the script constructs a set of symmetrical quadrants (or deviation zones) both inside and outside of the prior range. These include:
The midpoint (EQ) of the prior range
Levels at ±0.25x, ±0.75x, ±1.0x, ±1.5x, and ±2.0x the range height
These levels act as contextual zones that traders can use to interpret price behavior—whether it's consolidating within the prior range, approaching fair value (EQ), or expanding into directional continuation or reversal zones beyond the range.
The script operates in both real-time and historical contexts. On live bars, it dynamically updates the key levels to provide an evolving view of current price positioning. Simultaneously, it supports the display of historical levels for past sessions, enabling robust backtesting and comparative analysis of price behavior relative to previous quadrant structures.
Ultimately, this tool serves as a positional map, helping traders assess where price is trading relative to significant levels from the prior session, offering insights into potential support/resistance, overextension, or mean reversion scenarios.
Key Technical Features
Multi-Timeframe Support:
request.security() is used to pull data from a user-defined higher timeframe regardless of the current chart interval.
Visual Flexibility:
Toggle between "line" and "channel" mode.
Line color, width, and visibility are all user-controlled.
Anchoring Options:
Deviation levels can be calculated from either the previous period's open or its EQ (midpoint), giving flexibility depending on analytical preference.
Efficient Labeling:
Labels are only rendered on the last bar and are automatically cleared and redrawn to prevent duplication.
Label style, size, text color, and background color are all user-configurable.
Trading Application
This indicator is especially suited for:
1. Mean Reversion Strategies
When price moves beyond +1.0 or +1.5 deviations from the EQ or open, it may signal overextension and a potential snap back to the midpoint or range.
2. Breakout Confirmation
Sustained price action beyond ±1.0 levels may indicate trend strength or continuation beyond historical balance zones.
3. Contextual Range Awareness
EQ and Open provide structure from which traders can judge whether price is in a state of balance or imbalance.
Labels offer at-a-glance interpretation of key levels across any chosen timeframe.
4. Fractal and Multi-Session Analysis
Analysts can layer daily, weekly, and monthly versions of this indicator to observe confluence or divergence of higher timeframe structure.
TRAPPER Volume Trigger + SMAs + Buy/Sell SplitThe TRAPPER TRIGGER is a precision-based volume spike indicator designed for intraday traders, scalpers, and swing traders who rely on key volume activity to anticipate sharp market movements. It operates on volume delta logic, detecting disproportionate buying or selling activity that signifies potential market reversals or breakouts.
How It Works:
Volume Spike Logic (Delta-Based)
The script calculates a dynamic volume threshold using a moving average of historical volume data.
It identifies a delta spike by comparing current volume against this threshold—when volume exceeds it significantly, it suggests abnormal activity.
If the candle closes higher than it opens (bullish), the script registers it as a Buy Spike ⚖️.
If the candle closes lower than it opens (bearish), it marks a Sell Spike 🏁.
These are not based on the candle’s body size but the volume differential (delta) between buy/sell pressure inferred from candle direction.
Trigger Labels
Only the most recent buy/sell spike is labeled for clarity, avoiding clutter.
Labels are color-coded to match the candle body (e.g., bright green for bullish, magenta for bearish).
Label style: ⚖️ for Buy Spikes, 🏁 for Sell Spikes.
SMA Suite (Fully Customizable):
Six SMAs: 5 (yellow), 10 (blue), 20 (green), 50 (orange), 100 (red), 200 (white).
Each can be toggled and customized in the script settings for visibility and styling.
Key Benefits
Clean, minimalistic charting — focuses only on high-probability events.
Provides delta-driven insights without requiring access to full L2 order book data.
Works across any timeframe — logic recalculates and resets zones per timeframe switch.
Designed for sniper-style entries—ideal for traders who prefer minimal noise and maximum signal clarity.
Easily extendable with SR zones, AVWAP, liquidity levels, or alerts if desired in future updates.
Who It’s For
Scalpers and intraday traders looking for clean triggers.
Swing traders wanting confirmation of institutional moves.

X PD&FVVisualizes the price's premium or discount relative to a moving average benchmark, highlighting mean-reversion and trend-continuation opportunities. While the underlying math is simple, the application is nuanced and can enhance decision-making in both trending and ranging market conditions.
Core Logic:
This tool calculates a custom **spread value**, defined as the distance between the current price and a chosen exponential moving average (EMA). Specifically:
When the current price is **above** the EMA, the spread is calculated as `low - EMA`.
When the price is **below** the EMA, the spread is calculated as `high - EMA`.
This approach creates a dynamic spread that reflects deviation from the EMA, with histogram bars:
Green when the spread is positive (suggesting a price premium),
Red when the spread is negative (suggesting a discount).
A secondary EMA (default 9-period) is applied to the spread itself, plotted as a smoother line over the histogram. This "EMA of spread" line can be interpreted as a moving reference level for detecting directional shifts in momentum.
Interpretation:
Zero Line = Fair Value: The horizontal zero axis represents equilibrium relative to the moving average. Movement toward or away from this line signals potential shifts in market bias.
Trend Following Use: In trending markets, traders can:
Buy when the spread dips below its EMA (discount within uptrend),
Sell when the spread rises above its EMA (premium within downtrend).
Mean Reversion Use: A return to the zero line (fair value) often acts as an **inflection point**, which traders can monitor for either:
Trend continuation (bounce away from zero), or
Reversal (cross through zero).
Customization:
EMA length (default 50) is adjustable to fit different timeframes or asset volatility.
Price Range Retrace statisticks [HERMAN]📈 Price Range Retrace Stats
This indicator is designed to help traders quantify how often price retraces to a selected equilibrium level (e.g., 50%) after sweeping the high/low of a defined time-based range.
It is especially useful for modeling sessions such as the London Opening Range (e.g., 02:00–03:00 NY time), checking if price sweeps that range in a subsequent window (e.g., 03:00–04:00), and returns to its 50% level.
✅ What does it do?
Lets you define multiple time ranges (e.g. London, NY Open, custom ranges).
Draws the range box for the selected session time.
Calculates and plots the retracement level (default 50%).
Checks if price sweeps the high/low of the range before retracing.
Tracks success rate, average distance, sample size and displays these stats in a table.
⚙️ Key Features:
Fully customizable time windows (range box time and retracement check time).
-Configurable retracement % (default 50% equilibrium).
-Optional sweep condition (only count retracements if price sweeps the high/low first).
-Clean, theme-adaptive stats table with success rates and averages.
-Supports two independent levels (e.g. London and NY sessions).
📊 Why use it?
This tool turns session-based setups into statistical models:
Backtest session strategies over many days.
Quantify edge with % success over time.
Validate trading ideas with data.
Use probabilities instead of gut feeling.
Example insight you can track:
“Between 3–4 AM NY time, price swept the high/low of the 2–3 AM London Opening Range and returned to its 50% equilibrium level in 64% of 234 sessions.”
📌 Ideal for:
ICT concepts (Opening Range, Sweep, Equilibrium Return).
Algo developers wanting probabilities.
Anyone who wants data-driven confirmation for session range mean-reversion.
Instructions:
1️⃣ Enable the desired Price Range (1 or 2).
2️⃣ Set your Range Time (e.g. 02:00–03:00).
3️⃣ Set your Retracement Check Time (e.g. 03:00–04:00).
4️⃣ Choose retracement % (e.g. 50%).
5️⃣ Watch the box and retrace line plot on chart.
6️⃣ Review the success statistics in the table.
IME's Community First Presented FVGsIME's Community First Presented FVGs v1.5 - Advanced Implementation
ORIGINALITY & INNOVATION
This indicator advances beyond basic Fair Value Gap detection by implementing a sophisticated 24-hour FVG lifecycle management system aligned with institutional trading patterns. While many FVG indicators simply detect gaps and extend them indefinitely, this implementation introduces temporal intelligence that mirrors how institutional algorithms actually manage these inefficiencies.
Key Innovations that set this apart:
- 24-Hour Lifecycle Management: FVGs extend dynamically until 16:59, then freeze until removal at 17:00 next day
- Institutional Day Alignment: Recognizes 18:00-16:59 trading cycles vs standard calendar days
- Multi-Session Detection: Simultaneous monitoring of Midnight, London, NY AM, and NY PM sessions
- Advanced Classification System: A.FVG detection with volume imbalance analysis vs classic FVG patterns
- Volatility Settlement Logic: Blocks contamination from opening mechanics (3:01+, 0:01+, 13:31+ rules)
- Visual Enhancement System: C.E. lines, contamination warnings, dark mode support with proper transparency handling
BASED ON ICT CONCEPTS
This indicator implements First Presented Fair Value Gap methodology taught by ICT (Inner Circle Trader). The original F.P. FVG concepts, timing rules, and session-based detection are credited to ICT's educational material. This implementation extends those foundational concepts with advanced lifecycle management and institutional alignment features.
ICT's Core F.P. FVG Rules Implemented:
- First clean FVG after session opening (avoids opening contamination)
- 3-candle pattern requirement for valid detection
- Session-specific timing windows and volatility settlement
- Consequent Encroachment level identification
IME's Advanced Enhancements:
- Automated lifecycle management with institutional day recognition
- Multi-session simultaneous monitoring with proper isolation
- Advanced visual system with transparency states for aged FVGs
- A.FVG classification with volume imbalance detection algorithms
HOW IT WORKS
Core Detection Engine
The indicator monitors four key institutional sessions using precise timing windows:
- Midnight Session: 00:01-00:30 (blocks 00:00 contamination)
- London Session: 03:01-03:30 (blocks 03:00 contamination)
- NY AM Session: 09:30-10:00 (configurable 9:30 detection)
- NY PM Session: 13:31-14:00 (blocks 13:30 contamination)
During each session window, the algorithm scans for the first valid FVG pattern using ICT's 3-candle rule while applying volatility settlement principles to avoid false signals from opening mechanics.
Advanced Classification System
Classic FVG Detection:
Standard 3-candle wick-to-wick gap where candle 1 and 3 don't overlap, creating an inefficiency that institutions must eventually fill.
A.FVG (Advanced FVG) Detection:
Enhanced pattern recognition that includes volume imbalance analysis (deadpool detection) to identify more significant institutional inefficiencies. A.FVGs incorporate both the basic gap plus additional price imbalances between candle bodies, creating larger, more significant levels.
24-Hour Lifecycle Management
Phase 1 - Dynamic Extension (Creation Day):
From detection until 16:59 of creation day, FVGs extend in real-time as new bars form, maintaining their relevance as potential support/resistance levels.
Phase 2 - Freeze Period (Next Day):
At 16:59, FVGs stop extending and "freeze" at their final size, remaining visible as reference levels but no longer growing. This prevents outdated levels from contaminating fresh analysis.
Phase 3 - Cleanup (17:00 Next Day):
Exactly 24+ hours after creation, FVGs are automatically removed to maintain chart clarity. This timing aligns with institutional trading cycle completion.
Institutional Day Logic
The algorithm recognizes that institutional trading days run from 18:00-16:59 (not midnight-midnight). This alignment ensures FVGs are managed according to institutional timeframes rather than arbitrary calendar boundaries.
Contamination Avoidance System
Volatility Settlement Principle:
Opening mechanics create artificial volatility that can produce false FVG signals. The indicator automatically blocks detection during exact session opening times (X:00) and requires settlement time (X:01+) before identifying clean institutional inefficiencies.
Special NY AM Handling:
Provides configurable 9:30 detection for advanced users who want to capture potential opening range FVGs, with clear visual warnings about contamination risk.
VISUAL SYSTEM
Color Intelligence
- Current Day FVGs: Full opacity with session-specific colors
- Previous Day FVGs: 70% transparency for historical reference
- Special Timing (9:30): Dedicated warning color with alert labels
- Dark Mode Support: Automatic text/line color adaptation
Enhanced Visual Elements
C.E. (Consequent Encroachment) Lines:
Automatically calculated 50% levels within each FVG, representing the most likely fill point based on institutional behavior patterns. These levels extend and freeze with their parent FVG.
Contamination Warnings:
Visual alerts when FVGs are detected during potentially contaminated timing, helping traders understand signal quality.
Session Identification:
Clear labeling system showing FVG type (FVG/A.FVG), session origin (NY AM, London, etc.), and creation date for easy reference.
HOW TO USE
Basic Setup
1. Session Selection: Enable/disable specific sessions based on your trading strategy
2. FVG Type: Choose between Classic FVGs or A.FVGs depending on your analysis preference
3. Visual Preferences: Adjust colors, text size, and enable dark mode if needed
Trading Applications
Intraday Reference Levels:
Use current day FVGs as potential support/resistance for price action analysis. The dynamic extension ensures levels remain relevant throughout the trading session.
Multi-Session Analysis:
Monitor how price interacts with FVGs from different sessions to understand institutional flow and market structure.
C.E. Level Trading:
Focus on the 50% consequent encroachment levels for high-probability entry points when price approaches FVG zones.
Historical Context:
Previous day FVGs (shown with transparency) provide context for understanding market structure evolution across multiple trading days.
Advanced Features
9:30 Special Detection:
For experienced traders, enable 9:30 FVG detection to capture opening range inefficiencies, but understand the contamination risks indicated by warning labels.
A.FVG vs Classic Toggle:
Switch between detection modes based on market conditions - A.FVGs for trending environments, Classic FVGs for ranging conditions.
Best Practices
- Use on 1-minute to 15-minute timeframes for optimal session detection
- Combine with other institutional concepts (order blocks, liquidity levels) for comprehensive analysis
- Pay attention to transparency states - current day FVGs are more actionable than previous day references
- Consider C.E. levels as primary targets rather than full FVG fills
