Liquidity Void Zone Detector [PhenLabs]📊 Liquidity Void Zone Detector Version: PineScript™v6 📌 Description The Liquidity Void Zone Detector is a sophisticated technical indicator designed to identify and visualize areas where price moved with abnormally low volume or rapid momentum, creating "voids" in market liquidity. These zones represent areas where insufficient trading activity occurred during price movement, often acting as magnets for future price action as the market seeks to fill these gaps. Built on PineScript v6, this indicator employs a dual-detection methodology that analyzes both volume depletion patterns and price movement intensity relative to ATR. The revolutionary 3D visualization system uses three-layer polyline rendering with adaptive transparency and vertical offsets, creating genuine depth perception where low liquidity zones visually recede and high liquidity zones protrude forward. This makes critical market structure immediately apparent without cluttering your chart. 🚀 Points of Innovation Dual detection algorithm combining volume threshold analysis and ATR-normalized price movement sensitivity for comprehensive void identification Three-layer 3D visualization system with progressive transparency gradients (85%, 78%, 70%) and calculated vertical offsets for authentic depth perception Intelligent state machine logic that tracks consecutive void bars and only renders zones meeting minimum qualification requirements Dynamic strength scoring system (0-100 scale) that combines inverted volume ratios with movement intensity for accurate void characterization Adaptive ATR-based spacing calculation that automatically adjusts 3D layering depth to match instrument volatility Efficient memory management system supporting up to 100 simultaneous void visualizations with automatic array-based cleanup 🔧 Core Components Volume Analysis Engine: Calculates rolling volume averages and compares current bar volume against dynamic thresholds to detect abnormally thin trading conditions Price Movement Analyzer: Normalizes bar range against ATR to identify rapid price movements that indicate liquidity exhaustion regardless of instrument or timeframe Void Tracking State Machine: Maintains persistent tracking of void start bars, price boundaries, consecutive bar counts, and cumulative strength across multiple bars 3D Polyline Renderer: Generates three-layer rectangular polylines with precise timestamp-to-bar index conversion and progressive offset calculations Strength Calculation System: Combines volume component (inverted ratio capped at 100) with movement component (ATR intensity × 30) for comprehensive void scoring 🔥 Key Features Automatic Void Detection: Continuously scans price action for low volume conditions or rapid movements, triggering void tracking when thresholds are exceeded Real-Time Visualization: Creates 3D rectangular zones spanning from void initiation to termination, with color-coded depth indicating liquidity type Adjustable Sensitivity: Configure volume threshold multiplier (0.1-2.0x), price movement sensitivity (0.5-5.0x), and minimum qualifying bars (1-10) for customized detection Dual Color Coding: Separate visual treatment for low liquidity voids (receding red) and high liquidity zones (protruding green) based on 50-point strength threshold Optional Compact Labels: Toggle LV (Low Volume) or HV (High Volume) circular labels at void centers for quick identification without visual clutter Lookback Period Control: Adjust analysis window from 5 to 100 bars to match your trading timeframe and market volatility characteristics Memory-Efficient Design: Automatically manages polyline and label arrays, deleting oldest elements when user-defined maximum is reached Data Window Integration: Plots void detection binary, current strength score, and average volume for detailed analysis in TradingView's data window 🎨 Visualization Three-Layer Depth System: Each void is rendered as three stacked polylines with progressive transparency (85%, 78%, 70%) and calculated vertical offsets creating authentic 3D appearance Directional Depth Perception: Low liquidity zones recede with back layer most transparent; high liquidity zones protrude with front layer most transparent for instant visual differentiation Adaptive Offset Spacing: Vertical separation between layers calculated as ATR(14) × 0.001, ensuring consistent 3D effect across different instruments and volatility regimes Color Customization: Fully configurable base colors for both low liquidity zones (default: red with 80 transparency) and high liquidity zones (default: green with 80 transparency) Minimal Chart Clutter: Closed polylines with matching line and fill colors create clean rectangular zones without unnecessary borders or visual noise Background Highlight: Subtle yellow background (96% transparency) marks bars where void conditions are actively detected in real-time Compact Labeling: Optional tiny circular labels with 60% transparent backgrounds positioned at void center points for quick reference 📖 Usage Guidelines Detection Settings Lookback Period: Default: 10 | Range: 5-100 | Number of bars analyzed for volume averaging and void detection. Lower values increase sensitivity to recent changes; higher values smooth detection across longer timeframes. Adjust based on your trading timeframe: short-term traders use 5-15, swing traders use 20-50, position traders use 50-100. Volume Threshold: Default: 1.0 | Range: 0.1-2.0 (step 0.1) | Multiplier applied to average volume. Bars with volume below (average × threshold) trigger void conditions. Lower values detect only extreme volume depletion; higher values capture more moderate low-volume situations. Start with 1.0 and decrease to 0.5-0.7 for stricter detection. Price Movement Sensitivity: Default: 1.5 | Range: 0.5-5.0 (step 0.1) | Multiplier for ATR-normalized price movement detection. Values above this threshold indicate rapid price changes suggesting liquidity voids. Increase to 2.0-3.0 for volatile instruments; decrease to 0.8-1.2 for ranging or low-volatility conditions. Minimum Void Bars: Default: 10 | Range: 1-10 | Minimum consecutive bars exhibiting void conditions required before visualization is created. Filters out brief anomalies and ensures only sustained voids are displayed. Use 1-3 for scalping, 5-10 for intraday trading, 10+ for swing trading to match your time horizon. Visual Settings Low Liquidity Color: Default: Red (80% transparent) | Base color for zones where volume depletion or rapid movement indicates thin liquidity. These zones recede visually (back layer most transparent). Choose colors that contrast with your chart theme for optimal visibility. High Liquidity Color: Default: Green (80% transparent) | Base color for zones with relatively higher liquidity compared to void threshold. These zones protrude visually (front layer most transparent). Ensure clear differentiation from low liquidity color. Show Void Labels: Default: True | Toggle display of compact LV/HV labels at void centers. Disable for cleaner charts when trading; enable for analysis and review to quickly identify void types across your chart. Max Visible Voids: Default: 50 | Range: 10-100 | Maximum number of void visualizations kept on chart. Each void uses 3 polylines, so setting of 50 maintains 150 total polylines. Higher values preserve more history but may impact performance on lower-end systems. ✅ Best Use Cases Gap Fill Trading: Identify unfilled liquidity voids that price frequently returns to, providing high-probability retest and reversal opportunities when price approaches these zones Breakout Validation: Distinguish genuine breakouts through established liquidity from false breaks into void zones that lack sustainable volume support Support/Resistance Confluence: Layer void detection over key horizontal levels to validate structural integrity—levels within high liquidity zones are stronger than those in voids Trend Continuation: Monitor for new void formation in trend direction as potential continuation zones where price may accelerate due to reduced resistance Range Trading: Identify void zones within consolidation ranges that price tends to traverse quickly, helping to avoid getting caught in rapid moves through thin areas Entry Timing: Wait for price to reach void boundaries rather than entering mid-void, as voids tend to be traversed quickly with limited profit-taking opportunities ⚠️ Limitations Historical Pattern Indicator: Identifies past liquidity voids but cannot predict whether price will return to fill them or when filling might occur No Volume on Forex: Indicator uses tick volume for forex pairs, which approximates but doesn't represent true trading volume, potentially affecting detection accuracy Lagging Confirmation: Requires minimum consecutive bars (default 10) before void is visualized, meaning detection occurs after void formation begins Trending Market Behavior: Strong trends driven by fundamental catalysts may create voids that remain unfilled for extended periods or permanently Timeframe Dependency: Detection sensitivity varies significantly across timeframes; settings optimized for one timeframe may not perform well on others No Directional Bias: Indicator identifies liquidity characteristics but provides no predictive signal for price direction after void detection Performance Considerations: Higher max visible void settings combined with small minimum void bars can generate numerous visualizations impacting chart rendering speed 💡 What Makes This Unique Industry-First 3D Visualization: Unlike flat volume or liquidity indicators, the three-layer rendering with directional depth perception provides instant visual hierarchy of liquidity quality Dual-Mode Detection: Combines both volume-based and movement-based detection methodologies, capturing voids that single-approach indicators miss Intelligent Qualification System: State machine logic prevents premature visualization by requiring sustained void conditions, reducing false signals and chart clutter ATR-Normalized Analysis: All detection thresholds adapt to instrument volatility, ensuring consistent performance across stocks, forex, crypto, and futures without constant recalibration Transparency-Based Depth: Uses progressive transparency gradients rather than colors or patterns to create depth, maintaining visual clarity while conveying information hierarchy Comprehensive Strength Metrics: 0-100 void strength calculation considers both the degree of volume depletion and the magnitude of price movement for nuanced zone characterization 🔬 How It Works Phase 1: Real-Time Detection On each bar close, the indicator calculates average volume over the lookback period and compares current bar volume against the volume threshold multiplier Simultaneously measures current bar's high-low range and normalizes it against ATR, comparing the result to price movement sensitivity parameter If either volume falls below threshold OR movement exceeds sensitivity threshold, the bar is flagged as exhibiting void characteristics Phase 2: Void Tracking & Qualification When void conditions first appear, state machine initializes tracking variables: start bar index, initial top/bottom prices, consecutive bar counter, and cumulative strength accumulator Each subsequent bar with void conditions extends the tracking, updating price boundaries to envelope all bars and accumulating strength scores When void conditions cease, system checks if consecutive bar count meets minimum threshold; if yes, proceeds to visualization; if no, discards the tracking and resets Phase 3: 3D Visualization Construction Calculates average void strength by dividing cumulative strength by number of bars, then determines if void is low liquidity (>50 strength) or high liquidity (≤50 strength) Generates three polyline layers spanning from start bar to end bar and from top price to bottom price, each with calculated vertical offset based on ATR Applies progressive transparency (85%, 78%, 70%) with layer ordering creating recession effect for low liquidity zones and protrusion effect for high liquidity zones Creates optional center label and pushes all visual elements into arrays for memory management Phase 4: Memory Management & Display Continuously monitors polyline array size (each void creates 3 polylines); when total exceeds max visible voids × 3, deletes oldest polylines via array.shift() Similarly manages label array, removing oldest labels when count exceeds maximum to prevent memory accumulation over extended chart history Plots diagnostic data to TradingView’s data window (void detection binary, current strength, average volume) for detailed analysis without cluttering main chart 💡 Note: This indicator is designed to enhance your market structure analysis by revealing liquidity characteristics that aren’t visible through standard price and volume displays. For best results, combine void detection with your existing support/resistance analysis, trend identification, and risk management framework. Liquidity voids are descriptive of past market behavior and should inform positioning decisions rather than serve as standalone entry/exit signals. Experiment with detection parameters across different timeframes to find settings that align with your trading style and instrument characteristics.

Quantura - Fair Value Gap Introduction “Quantura – Fair Value Gap” is a precision-engineered institutional concept indicator designed to automatically identify, visualize, and manage Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) across any market or timeframe. It enables traders to observe price inefficiencies, potential liquidity voids, and retracement areas that often act as magnets for price rebalancing. Originality & Value Unlike many public FVG scripts that only highlight candle gaps, this indicator integrates dynamic filters and adaptive logic to determine the strength and reliability of each gap. It merges overlapping zones intelligently and optionally extends valid imbalances forward for ongoing reference. Its value lies in: Dynamic statistical filtering based on gap standard deviation. Optional volume confirmation for high-confidence FVGs. Automatic merging of overlapping or adjacent gaps for clean visualization. Support for both bullish and bearish imbalances. Signal alerts when gaps are filled or rebalanced by price. Functionality & Core Logic Detects Fair Value Gaps by comparing candle-to-candle price displacement. Applies a Gap Filter (standard deviation-based) to qualify valid gaps. Optionally validates gaps formed under significant volume conditions. Draws color-coded boxes to mark bullish (discount) and bearish (premium) inefficiencies. Monitors each FVG until price fills the gap, at which point the box is visually closed. Provides optional signal markers (“▲” or “▼”) when rebalancing occurs. Parameters & Customization Gap Filter: Sets the minimum statistical deviation required for a valid FVG. Higher values detect fewer, stronger gaps. Volume Filter: Toggles additional validation using relative volume strength. Volume Sensitivity: Adjusts how much above-average volume must be present to confirm a gap. Bullish/Bearish Colors: Customize color schemes for imbalance zones. Extend Gaps: Optionally extend open gaps forward for better confluence tracking. Signals: Enables or disables gap-fill signal markers. Visualization & Display Bullish FVGs: Appear in blue-tinted boxes, indicating potential demand-side inefficiencies. Bearish FVGs: Appear in red-tinted boxes, representing potential supply-side inefficiencies. Overlapping zones are merged automatically to maintain clarity. Filled gaps remain visible for historical context, allowing for post-event analysis. Optional signal arrows display when price returns to rebalance an FVG. Use Cases Identify institutional inefficiencies and liquidity voids. Detect premium and discount levels in trending markets. Combine with market structure or order block indicators for confluence. Track when price rebalances inefficiencies to refine entry/exit points. Build FVG-based algorithmic strategies that rely on structural imbalance resolution. Limitations & Recommendations The indicator detects structural imbalances but does not predict future direction or guarantee profitability. Volume filters may behave differently across brokers due to data-source differences. Use alongside structure or liquidity tools for enhanced decision-making. Extreme volatility or illiquid assets may generate temporary invalid gaps. Markets & Timeframes Compatible with all markets (crypto, forex, equities, indices, futures) and all timeframes. Recommended for multi-timeframe confluence analysis — e.g., detecting higher-timeframe FVGs and refining lower-timeframe entries. Author & Access Developed 100% by Quantura.

Vacuum Candles [XrayAlgo]The Vacuum Candles indicator helps traders identify inefficient price movements—where the price moves significantly but lacks sufficient volume to support it. These inefficiencies may signal weak trends, potential reversals, or false breakouts/breakdowns. Inefficient candles are visually marked with a darker / black body to indicate when the price movement is disproportionate to the volume. 1. Spotting Potential Reversals When the indicator marks an inefficient candle, it signals that the price movement may be unsustainable. In an uptrend: A inefficient bullish candle suggests that the uptrend is losing momentum, potentially leading to a downward reversal. In a downtrend: A inefficient bearish candle signals that the downtrend may be weakening, with a potential bullish reversal. 2. Identifying Breakout and Breakdown Failures This indicator is useful for recognizing false breakouts or false breakdowns. If price breaks resistance but the candle is inefficient, the breakout may be weak and could fail quickly. If price breaks support with an inefficient bearish candle, the breakdown could be a false signal, with price reverting back above support. 3. Recognizing Weak Trends Inefficient candles help you spot when a trend is losing strength and could soon reverse or consolidate. In an uptrend: A series of dark body bullish candles suggests that the uptrend may be weakening, signaling a potential correction or trend reversal. In a downtrend: A series of dark body bearish candles suggests that the selling pressure is weakening, indicating a potential bullish reversal. 4. Fine-Tuning Entries and Exits Inefficient candles offer an opportunity to fine-tune your entries and exits based on weak price moves. Entering a trade: An inefficient candle near key support or resistance can indicate a reversal, making it a good entry point for a counter-trend position. Exiting a trade: If you're already in a trend, and an inefficient candle appears, it suggests the trend is losing strength, indicating it may be a good time to exit before a potential reversal. 5. Fine-Tuning with Inputs The Vacuum Candles indicator includes two key inputs: Length: The number of candles used to calculate the average price movement and volume. A longer length (e.g., 20-30) smooths out the inefficiencies, while a shorter length (e.g., 10-15) makes the indicator more sensitive to recent price moves. Multiplier: Controls the threshold for what is considered an inefficient candle: A higher Multiplier (e.g., 1.5–3) filters out smaller inefficiencies and focuses on large discrepancies. A lower Multiplier (e.g., 0.1–0.9) captures even smaller inefficiencies in highly efficient markets.

Gaps + Imbalances + Wicks (MTF) - By Leviathan This script will identify and draw price gaps, wicks and imbalances with customizable fill conditions, multi-timeframe function, zone size filtering, volume comparison, lookback filtering, as well as highly customizable appearance and settings. I’ve made this indicator to combine the three similar but different elements that occur in price movements and serve as significant zones of interest or way of PA interpretation in various different strategies. Imbalances (or Fair Value Gap/FVG/Inefficiency/whatever) - The Imbalance “pattern” consists of 3 candles (1- candle before the sharp move, 2 - sharp move candle and 3- candle after the sharp move). When price makes a move downwards, the imbalance zone is defined as the area between the low of 1 and the high of 3 When price makes a move upwards, the imbalance zone is defined as the area between the high of 1 and the low of 3. Gaps A price gap is an area on a chart where no trading activity has taken place. A gap up means that the low of the current candle is higher than the high of the previous candle and a gap down means that the high of the current candle is lower than the low of the previous candle. Wicks (or shadows/tails/whatever) Wicks are used to indicate where the price has fluctuated relative to the opening and closing price of the candle. An upper wick is the zone between candle high and candle close/open (whichever is higher) and a lower wick is the zone between candle’s low and candle’s close/open (whichever is lower). Settings Overview “Zone Type” - This input lets you decide which zones should the script plot and on which timeframe. You should always pick a timeframe higher than your chat’s. “Middle Line, Top Line, Bottom Line” - Show or hide the Middle Line (horizontal level in the middle of each zone), Show or hide Top Line (horizontal level at the top of the zone), Show or hide Bottom Line (horizontal level at the bottom of the zone) “UP/DOWN Zones" - This input lets you show/hide UP Zones or DOWN Zones an pick their color, border color and label color. ”Fill Condition” - If turned ON, the zones will end drawing when your prefered Fill Condition is met (Full Filll = price mitigates the whole zone, Half Fill = zone is at least halfway mitigated and Touch = zone is touched by price). If turned OFF, the zones will only be plotted for the amount of bars defined it “Zone Length”. ”Lookback (D)” - This input lets you limit the amount of zones plotted on the chart by choosing how many days back in time should the script go to find and plot zones. For example, input 1 will only show you the zones of the past day, input 7 will only show you the zones of the past week. ”Hide Filled Zones” - If turned ON, the zones that have been filled will be removed from the chart. ”Show Boxes” - Show or hide the boxes that represent the zones. This is useful for those who want the zones to be visualized by just lines. “Filter Type” - this input lets you create a filter that will make the script only show zones that are larger than ATR or larger than a certain percentage. You can choose the ATR Length and the multiplier (higher multiplier → larger zone required), as well as the Percentage (%) and its multiplier (higher percentage → larger zone required). If you choose “None”, the zones of all sizes will be plotted. ”Zone Labels” - this part of the settings lets you: show/hide labels, decide on the size of the labels and their positions, choose a custom name for each zone, choose the data that the labels present (Type of the zone/Timeframe/ Volume ). ”Other settings” - ‘Stop/Delete zone after X number of candles’ will force stop/delete the zone if it’s plotted for more than prefered number of bars. ‘Line Style’ lets you choose the style and the color of the lines, ‘Zone Length’ defines the length of the zone if Fill Condition is “None”. More settings, modifications and improvements coming in future updates. This script is a bit old so I will clean up and optimize the code once I have more time.
