Smart Money Trades Pro [BOSWaves]Smart Money Trades Pro – Advanced Market Structure & Liquidity Visualizer
Overview
Smart Money Trades Pro is a comprehensive trading tool designed for traders seeking an in-depth understanding of market structure, liquidity dynamics, and institutional flow. The indicator systematically identifies key market turning points, including break of structure (BOS) and change of character (CHoCH) events, and overlays these with adaptive visualizations to highlight high-probability trade setups. By integrating ATR-based risk zones, progressive take-profit levels, and real-time trade analytics, Smart Money Trades Pro transforms complex price action into an interpretable framework suitable for multiple trading styles, including scalping, intraday, and swing trading.
Unlike traditional static indicators, Smart Money Trades Pro adapts continuously to market conditions. It evaluates swing highs and lows over a configurable lookback period, then determines structural breaks using customizable confirmation methods (candle body or wick). The resulting signals are augmented with dynamic entry, stop-loss, and target levels, allowing traders to analyze potential trade opportunities with both precision and context. The indicator’s design ensures that each visual element—trend-colored candles, signal markers, and risk/reward boxes—reflects real-time market conditions, offering an actionable interpretation of institutional activity.
How It Works
The indicator’s foundation is built upon market structure analysis. By calculating pivot highs and lows over a specified period, Smart Money Trades Pro identifies potential points of liquidity accumulation and exhaustion. When price breaks a pivot high or low, the indicator evaluates whether this constitutes a BOS or a CHoCH, signaling trend continuation or reversal. These events are marked on the chart with distinct visual cues, allowing traders to quickly discern shifts in market sentiment without manually analyzing historical price action.
Once a structural break is confirmed, the indicator automatically determines entry levels, stop-loss placements, and progressive take-profit zones (TP1, TP2, TP3). These calculations are based on ATR-derived volatility, ensuring that targets scale with current market conditions. Risk and reward zones are plotted as shaded boxes, providing a clear visual representation of potential profit relative to risk for each trade setup. This system allows traders to maintain discipline and consistency, with dynamic trade management baked directly into the visualization.
Trend direction is further reinforced by color-coded candles, which reflect the prevailing market bias. Bullish trends are represented by one color, bearish trends by another, and neutral conditions are displayed in muted tones. This continuous visual feedback simplifies the process of trend assessment and helps confirm the validity of trade setups alongside BOS and CHoCH markers.
Signals and Breakouts
Smart Money Trades Pro includes structured visual signals to indicate actionable price movements:
Bullish Break Signals – Triangular markers below the candle appear when a swing high is broken, suggesting potential long opportunities.
Bearish Break Signals – Triangular markers above the candle appear when a swing low is broken, indicating potential short setups.
Change of Character (CHoCH) – Special markers highlight trend reversals, showing where momentum shifts from bullish to bearish or vice versa.
These markers are strategically spaced to prevent overlap and remain clear during high-volatility periods. Traders can use them in combination with trend-colored candles, risk/reward zones, and ATR-based targets to assess the strength and reliability of each setup. The integrated table provides live trade information, including entry price, stop-loss level, take-profit levels, risk/reward ratio, and trade direction, ensuring that trade decisions are informed and data-driven.
Interpretation
Trend Analysis : The indicator’s trend coloring, combined with BOS and CHoCH detection, provides an immediate view of market direction. Rising structures indicate bullish momentum, while falling structures signal bearish momentum. CHoCH markers highlight potential trend reversals or significant liquidity sweeps.
Volatility and Risk Assessment : ATR-based calculations determine stop-loss distances and target levels, giving a quantitative measure of risk relative to market volatility. Wide ATR readings indicate periods of high price fluctuation, whereas narrow readings suggest consolidation and reduced risk exposure.
Market Structure Insights : By monitoring swing highs and lows alongside break confirmations, traders can identify where institutional players are likely active. Areas with multiple structural breaks or overlapping targets can indicate liquidity hotspots, potential reversal zones, or areas of market congestion.
Trade Management : The built-in trade zones allow traders to visualize entry, risk, and reward simultaneously. Progressive targets (TP1, TP2, TP3) reflect incremental profit-taking strategies, while dynamic stop-loss levels help preserve capital during adverse moves.
Strategy Integration
Smart Money Trades Pro supports a range of trading approaches:
Trend Following : Enter trades in the direction of confirmed BOS while using CHoCH markers and trend-colored candles to validate momentum.
Pullback Entries : Use failed breakout retests or minor reversals toward broken structure levels for lower-risk entries.
Mean Reversion : In consolidated zones with narrow ATR and repeated BOS/CHoCH activity, anticipate reversals or short-term corrective moves.
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation : Overlay signals on higher or lower timeframes to filter noise and improve trade accuracy.
Stop-loss levels should be placed just beyond the opposing structural point, while take-profit targets can be scaled using the ATR-based zones. Progressive targets allow for partial exits or scaling out of trades while maintaining exposure to larger moves.
Advanced Techniques
Traders seeking greater precision can combine Smart Money Trades Pro with volume, momentum, or volatility indicators to validate signals. Observing sequences of BOS and CHoCH markers across multiple timeframes provides insight into liquidity accumulation and depletion trends. Tracking the expansion or contraction of ATR-based zones helps anticipate shifts in volatility, enabling better timing for entries and exits.
Customizing the structure period and confirmation type allows the indicator to adapt to different asset classes and timeframes. Shorter periods increase sensitivity to smaller swings, while longer periods filter noise and emphasize higher-probability structural breaks. By integrating these features, the indicator offers a robust statistical framework for disciplined, data-driven trading decisions.

Better Pivot Points [LuminoAlgo]Overview
The Better Pivot Points indicator is an advanced trend analysis tool that combines Supertrend methodology with automated pivot point identification and zigzag visualization. This indicator helps traders identify significant price turning points and visualize market structure through dynamic pivot labeling and connecting lines.
How It Works
This indicator utilizes a Supertrend-based algorithm to detect meaningful pivot points in price action. Unlike traditional pivot point indicators that rely on fixed time periods, this tool dynamically identifies pivots based on trend changes, providing more relevant and timely signals.
The algorithm tracks trend changes using ATR-based Supertrend crossovers to determine when significant highs and lows have formed. When a trend reversal is detected, the indicator marks the pivot point and draws connecting lines to visualize price flow and market structure progression.
Key Features
• Dynamic Pivot Detection: Automatically identifies high and low pivot points using Supertrend crossovers
• Market Structure Labeling: Labels pivots as HH (Higher High), LH (Lower High), HL (Higher Low), or LL (Lower Low)
• Zigzag Visualization: Connects pivot points with customizable lines to clearly show price flow and market structure
• Color-Coded Analysis: Uses distinct colors to indicate bullish trends (green), bearish trends (red), and neutral conditions (yellow)
• Customizable Parameters: Adjustable ATR period, factor, line width, and line style
Input Settings
• ATR Length: Controls the sensitivity of the Supertrend calculation (default: 21)
• Factor: Multiplier for the ATR-based Supertrend bands (default: 2.0)
• Zigzag Line Width: Customize the thickness of connecting lines (1-4)
• Zigzag Line Style: Choose between Solid, Dashed, or Dotted line styles
What Makes This Original
This indicator combines several analytical concepts into a cohesive tool that differentiates it from standard pivot point indicators:
1. Uses Supertrend crossovers as the trigger for pivot detection rather than traditional high/low lookback periods
2. Automatically categorizes market structure using HH/LH/HL/LL labeling system based on pivot relationships
3. Provides real-time zigzag visualization with intelligent color coding that reflects trend direction
4. Integrates trend direction analysis with structural pivot identification in a single comprehensive tool
The underlying calculations use custom logic for tracking trend states, validating pivot points, and determining appropriate color coding based on market structure analysis.
How to Use
1. Trend Identification: Green lines indicate bullish market structure, red lines show bearish structure, yellow indicates transitional periods
2. Support/Resistance: Pivot points often act as future support and resistance levels for price action
3. Market Structure Analysis: HH and HL patterns suggest uptrends, while LH and LL patterns indicate downtrends
4. Entry/Exit Planning: Use pivot points and trend changes to plan potential trade entries and exits
Important Limitations and Warnings
• This indicator is a technical analysis tool and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions
• Pivot points are identified after price moves occur, meaning this indicator has inherent lag and cannot predict future pivots
• False signals can occur during ranging or choppy market conditions where trends are unclear
• Past performance of any indicator does not guarantee future results or trading success
• The indicator works best in clearly trending markets and may produce less reliable signals in sideways price action
• This tool requires interpretation and should be combined with other forms of analysis
• Always use proper risk management and position sizing strategies when trading
Why This Script Is Protected
This indicator uses proprietary algorithms for pivot detection timing, trend state management, and market structure analysis that represent original research and development. The specific logic for pivot validation, color-coding methodology, and structural relationship calculations contains unique approaches that differentiate it from standard pivot point indicators available in the public library.
Disclaimer
This indicator is for educational and analysis purposes only and does not constitute investment advice. Trading involves substantial risk and is not suitable for all investors. Past results are not indicative of future performance. The future is fundamentally unknowable and past results in no way guarantee future performance. Always conduct your own research and consider your risk tolerance before making any trading decisions.
Volumetric Support and Resistance [BackQuant]Volumetric Support and Resistance
What this is
This Overlay locates price levels where both structure and participation have been meaningful. It combines classical swing points with a volume filter, then manages those levels on the chart as price evolves. Each level carries:
• A reference price (support or resistance)
• An estimate of the volume that traded around that price
• A touch counter that updates when price retests it
• A visual box whose thickness is scaled by volatility
The result is a concise map of candidate support and resistance that is informed by both price location and how much trading occurred there.
How levels are built
Find structural pivots uses ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow with a user set sensitivity. Larger sensitivity looks for broader swings. Smaller sensitivity captures tighter turns.
Require meaningful volume computes an average volume over a lookback period and forms a volume ratio for the current bar. A pivot only becomes a level when the ratio is at least the volume significance multiplier.
Avoid clustering checks a minimum level distance (as a percent of price). If a candidate is too close to an existing level, it is skipped to keep the map readable.
Attach a volume strength to the level estimates volume strength by averaging the volume of recent bars whose high to low range spans that price. Levels with unusually high strength are flagged as high volume.
Store and draw levels are kept in an array with fields for price, type, volume, touches, creation bar, and a box handle. On the last bar, each level is drawn as a horizontal box centered at the price with a vertical thickness scaled by ATR. Borders are thicker when the level is marked high volume. Boxes can extend into the future.
How levels evolve over time
• Aging and pruning : levels are removed if they are too old relative to the lookback or if you exceed the maximum active levels.
• Break detection : a level can be removed when price closes through it by more than a break threshold set as a fraction of ATR. Toggle with Remove Broken Levels.
• Touches : when price approaches within the break threshold, the level’s touch counter increments.
Visual encoding
• Boxes : support boxes are green, resistance boxes are red. Box height uses an ATR based thickness so tolerance scales with volatility. Transparency is fixed in this version. Borders are thicker on high volume levels.
• Volume annotation : show the estimated volume inside the box or as a label at the right. If a level has more than one touch, a suffix like “(2x)” is appended.
• Extension : boxes can extend a fixed number of bars into the future and can be set to extend right.
• High volume bar tint : bars with volume above average × multiplier are tinted green if up and red if down.
Inputs at a glance
Core Settings
• Level Detection Sensitivity — pivot window for swing detection
• Volume Significance Multiplier — minimum volume ratio to accept a pivot
• Lookback Period — window for average volume and maintenance rules
Level Management
• Maximum Active Levels — cap on concurrently drawn levels
• Minimum Level Distance (%) — required spacing between level prices
Visual Settings

Colors
• Separate colors for support, resistance, and their high volume variants
How it can be used
• Trade planning : use the most recent support and resistance as reference zones for entries, profit taking, or stop placement. ATR scaled thickness provides a practical buffer.
• Context for patterns : combine with breakouts, pullbacks, or candle patterns. A breakout through a high volume resistance carries more informational weight than one through a thin level.
• Prioritization : when multiple levels are nearby, prefer high volume or higher touch counts.
• Regime adaptation : widen sensitivity and increase minimum distance in fast regimes to avoid clutter. Tighten them in calm regimes to capture more granularity.
Why volume support and resistance is used in trading
Support and resistance relate to willingness to transact at certain prices. Volume measures participation. When many contracts change hands near a price:
• More market players hold inventory there, often creating responsive behavior on retests
• Order flow can concentrate again to defend or to exit
• Breaks can be cleaner as trapped inventory rebalances
Conditioning level detection on above average activity focuses attention on prices that mattered to more participants.
Alerts
• New Support Level Created
• New Resistance Level Created
• Level Touch Alert
• Level Break Alert
Strengths
• Dual filter of structure and participation, reducing trivial swing points
• Self cleaning map that retires old or invalid levels
• Volatility aware presentation using ATR based thickness
• Touch counting for persistence assessment
• Tunable inputs for instrument and timeframe
Limitations and caveats
• Volume strength is an approximation based on bars spanning the price, not true per price volume
• Pivots confirm after the sensitivity window completes, so new levels appear with a delay
• Narrow ranges can still cluster levels unless minimum distance is increased
• Large gaps may jump past levels and immediately trigger break conditions
Practical tuning guide
• If the chart is crowded: increase sensitivity, increase minimum level distance, or reduce maximum active levels
• If useful levels are missed: reduce volume multiplier or sensitivity
• If you want stricter break removal: increase the ATR based break threshold in code
• For instruments with session patterns: tailor the lookback period to a representative window
Interpreting touches and breaks
• First touch after creation is a validation test
• Multiple shallow touches suggest absorption; a later break may then travel farther
• Breaks on high current volume merit extra attention
Multi timeframe usage
Levels are computed on the active chart timeframe. A common workflow is to keep a higher timeframe instance for structure and a lower timeframe instance for execution. Align trades with higher timeframe levels where possible.
Final Thoughts
This indicator builds a lightweight, self updating map of support and resistance grounded in swings and participation. It is not a full market profile, but it captures much of the practical benefit with modest complexity. Treat levels as context and decision zones, not guarantees. Combine with your entry logic and risk controls.
Trend dealing rangeHi all!
This indicator will help you find the current dealing range according to the trend. If the trend is bullish the indicator will look for a range between the latest low pivot to the latest high pivot. Vice versa in a bearish trend. The code uses my new library 'FibonacciRetracement' () that has the same code as my other indicator 'Fibonacci retracement' ().
It plots 5 lines from the low to the high and labels them 0 %, 25 %, 50 %, 75 % and 100 %. A trendline can be drawn between the two pivots (dashed and gray by default). Firstly you can define the pivot lengths used, this setting is in the 'Market structure' section but it also applies to the dealing range (it defaults to 5 (left) and 2 (right)). You can show prices if you want to (shown in parantheses, off by default). You can change the default labels position (from left) and the font size (12 by default and higher up it's 7 for market structure text). Lastly you can change the alert frequency (defaults to once per bar close) and the price that has to enter a zone for alert to be sent. 'Close' means that the closing price (or current price if you change the alert frequency to all or once per bar) has to be inside the zone and 'Wick' means that the entire candle needs to be inside the zone.
It's very useful for traders to find the current dealing range and this indicator will help you to do so.
So, this indicator will give you the dealing range and basic market structure through break of structures and change of characters.
If you have any input or suggestions on future features or bugs, don't hesitate to let me know!
Best of trading luck!
T-Virus Sentiment [hapharmonic]🧬 T-Virus Sentiment: Visualize the Market's DNA
Remember the iconic T-Virus vial from the first Resident Evil? That powerful, swirling helix of potential has always fascinated me. It sparked an idea: what if we could visualize the market's underlying health in a similar way? What if we could capture the "genetic code" of market sentiment and contain it within a dynamic, 3D indicator? This project is the result of that idea, brought to life with Pine Script.
The indicator's main goal is to measure the strength and direction of market sentiment by analyzing the "genetic code" of price action through a variety of trusted indicators. The result is displayed as a liquid level within a DNA helix, a bubble density representing buying pressure, and a T-Virus mascot that reflects the overall mood.
🧐 Core Concept: How It Works
The primary output of the indicator is the "Active %" gauge you see on the right side of the vial. This percentage represents the overall sentiment score, calculated as an average from 7 different technical analysis tools. Each tool is analyzed on every bar and assigned a score from 1 (strong bearish pressure) to 5 (strong bullish potential).
In this indicator, we re-imagine market dynamics through the lens of a viral outbreak. A strong bear market is like a virus taking hold, pulling all technical signals down into a state of weakness. Conversely, a powerful bull market is like an antiviral serum ; positive signals rise and spread toward the top of the vial, indicating that the system is being injected with strength.
This is not just another line on a chart. It's a comprehensive sentiment dashboard designed to give an immediate, at-a-glance understanding of the confluence between 7 classic technical indicators. The incredible 3D model of the vial itself was inspired by a design concept found here .
⚛️ The 4 Core Elements of T-Virus Sentiment
These four elements work in harmony to give a complete, multi-faceted picture of market sentiment. Each component tells a different part of the story.
The Virus Mascot: An instant emotional cue. This character provides the quickest possible read on the overall market mood, combining sentiment with volume pressure.
The Antiviral Serum Level: The main quantitative output. This is the liquid level in the DNA helix and the percentage gauge on the right, representing the average sentiment score from all 7 indicators.
Buy Pressure & Bubble Density: This visualizes volume flow. The density of bubbles represents the intensity of accumulation (buying) versus distribution (selling). It's the "power" behind the move.
The Signal Distribution: This shows the confluence (or dispersion) of sentiment. Are all signals bullish and clustered at the top, or are they scattered, indicating a conflicted market? The position of the indicator labels is crucial, as each is assigned to one of five distinct zones:
Base Bottom: The market is at its weakest. Signals here suggest strong bearish control and distribution.
Lower Zone: The market is still bearish, but signals may be showing early signs of accumulation or bottoming.
Neutral Core (Center): A state of balance or sideways consolidation. The market is waiting for a new direction.
Upper Zone: Bullish momentum is becoming clear. Signals are strengthening and showing bullish control.
Top Cap: The market is "heating up" with strong bullish sentiment, potentially nearing overbought conditions.
🐂🐻 The Virus Mascot: The At-a-Glance Indicator
This character acts as a shortcut to confirm market health. It combines the sentiment score with volume, preventing false confidence in a low-volume rally.
Its state is determined by a dual-check: the overall "Antiviral Serum Level" and the "Buy Pressure" must both be above 50%.
Green & Smiling: The 'all clear' signal. This means that not only is the overall technical sentiment bullish, but it's also being supported by real buying pressure. This is a sign of a healthy bull market.
Red & Angry: A warning sign. This appears if either the sentiment is weak, or a bullish sentiment is not being confirmed by buying volume. The latter could indicate a potential "bull trap" or an exhaustive move.
This mascot can be disabled from the settings page under "Virus Mascot Styling" if a cleaner look is preferred.
🫧 Bubble Density: Gauging Buy vs. Sell Pressure
The bubbles visualize the battle between buyers and sellers. There are two modes to control how this is calculated:
Mode 1: Visible Range (The 'Big Picture' View)
This default mode is best for getting a broad, contextual understanding of the current session. It dynamically analyzes the volume of every single candlestick currently visible on the screen to calculate the buy/sell pressure ratio. It answers the question: "Over the entire period I'm looking at, who is in control?" As you zoom in or out, the calculation adapts.
Mode 2: Custom Lookback (The 'Precision' View)
This mode is for traders who need to analyze short-term pressure. You can define a fixed number of recent bars to analyze, which is perfect for scalping or understanding the volume dynamics leading into a key level. It answers the question: "What is happening right now ?" In the example above, a lookback of 2 focuses only on the most recent action, clearly showing intense, immediate selling pressure (few bubbles) and a corresponding drop in the sentiment score to 29%.
ℹ️ Interactive Tooltips: Dive Deeper
We believe in transparency, not 'black box' indicators. This feature transforms the indicator from a visual aid into an active learning tool.
Simply hover the mouse over any indicator label (like EMA, OBV, etc.) to get a detailed tooltip. It will explain the specific data points and thresholds that signal met to be placed in its current zone. This helps build trust in the signals and allows users to fine-tune the indicator settings to better match their own trading style.
🎯 The Scoring Logic Breakdown
The "Antiviral Serum Level" gauge is the average score from 7 technical analysis tools. Each is graded on a 5-point scale (1=Strong Bearish to 5=Strong Bullish). Here’s a detailed, transparent look at how each "gene" is evaluated:
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
Measures momentum and overbought/oversold conditions.
Group 1 (Strong Bearish): RSI > 80 (Extreme Overbought)
Group 2 (Bearish): 70 < RSI ≤ 80 (Overbought)
Group 3 (Neutral): 30 ≤ RSI ≤ 70
Group 4 (Bullish): 20 ≤ RSI < 30 (Oversold)
Group 5 (Strong Bullish): RSI < 20 (Extreme Oversold)
Exponential Moving Averages (EMA)
Evaluates the trend's strength and structure based on the alignment of multiple EMAs (9, 21, 50, 100, 200, 250).
Group 1 (Strong Bearish): A perfect bearish sequence (9 < 21 < 50 < ...)
Group 2 (Bearish Transition): Early signs of a potential reversal (e.g., 9 > 21 but still below 50)
Group 3 (Neutral / Mixed): MAs are intertwined or showing a partial bullish sequence.
Group 4 (Bullish): A strong bullish sequence is forming (e.g., 9 > 21 > 50 > 100)
Group 5 (Strong Bullish): A perfect bullish sequence (9 > 21 > 50 > 100 > 200 > 250)
Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD)
Analyzes the relationship between two moving averages to gauge momentum.
Group 1 (Strong Bearish): MACD & Histogram are negative and momentum is falling.
Group 2 (Weakening Bearish): MACD is negative but the histogram is rising or positive.
Group 3 (Neutral / Crossover): A crossover event is occurring near the zero line.
Group 4 (Bullish): MACD & Histogram are positive.
Group 5 (Strong Bullish): MACD & Histogram are positive, rising strongly, and accelerating.
Average Directional Index (ADX)
Measures trend strength, not direction. The score is based on both ADX value and the dominance of DI+ vs DI-.
Group 1 (Bearish / No Trend): ADX < 20 and DI- is dominant.
Group 2 (Developing Bearish Trend): 20 ≤ ADX < 25 and DI- is dominant.
Group 3 (Neutral / Indecision): Trend is weak or DI+ and DI- are nearly equal.
Group 4 (Developing Bullish Trend): 25 ≤ ADX ≤ 40 and DI+ is dominant.
Group 5 (Strong Bullish Trend): ADX > 40 and DI+ is dominant.
Ichimoku Cloud (IKH)
A comprehensive indicator that defines support/resistance, momentum, and trend direction.
Group 1 (Strong Bearish): Price is below the Kumo, Tenkan < Kijun, and Chikou is below price.
Group 2 (Bearish): Price is inside or below the Kumo, with mixed secondary signals.
Group 3 (Neutral / Ranging): Price is inside the Kumo, often with a Tenkan/Kijun cross.
Group 4 (Bullish): Price is above the Kumo with strong primary signals.
Group 5 (Strong Bullish): All signals are aligned bullishly: price above Kumo, bullish Tenkan/Kijun cross, bullish future Kumo, and Chikou above price.
Bollinger Bands (BB)
Measures volatility and relative price levels.
Group 1 (Strong Bearish): Price is below the lower band.
Group 2 (Bearish Territory): Price is between the lower band and the basis line.
Group 3 (Neutral): Price is hovering around the basis line.
Group 4 (Bullish Territory): Price is between the basis line and the upper band.
Group 5 (Strong Bullish): Price is above the upper band.
On-Balance Volume (OBV)
Uses volume flow to predict price changes. The score is based on OBV's trend and its position relative to its moving average.
Group 1 (Strong Bearish): OBV is below its MA and falling.
Group 2 (Weakening Bearish): OBV is below its MA but showing signs of rising.
Group 3 (Neutral): OBV is very close to its MA.
Group 4 (Bullish): OBV is above its MA and rising.
Group 5 (Strong Bullish): OBV is above its MA, rising strongly, and showing signs of a volume spike.
🧭 How to Use the T-Virus Sentiment Indicator
IMPORTANT: This indicator is a sentiment dashboard , not a direct buy/sell signal generator. Its strength lies in showing confluence and providing a quick, holistic view of the market's technical health.
Confirmation Tool: Use the "Active %" gauge to confirm a trade setup from your primary strategy. For example, if you see a bullish chart pattern, a high and rising sentiment score can add confidence to your trade.
Momentum & Trend Gauge: A consistently high score (e.g., > 75%) suggests strong, established bullish momentum. A consistently low score (< 25%) suggests strong bearish control. A score hovering around 50% often indicates a ranging or indecisive market.
Divergence & Warning System: Pay attention to divergences. If the price is making new highs but the sentiment score is failing to follow or is actively decreasing, it could be an early warning sign that the underlying momentum is weakening.
⚙️ Settings & Customization
The indicator is highly customizable to fit any trading style.
Position & Anchor: Control where the vial appears on the chart.
Styling (Vial, Helix, etc.): Nearly every visual element can be color-customized.
Signals: This is where the real power is. All underlying indicator parameters (RSI length, MACD settings, etc.) can be fine-tuned to match a personal strategy. The text labels can also be disabled if the chart feels cluttered.

Smart Money SignalsSmart Money Signals – Market Flow & Structure Visualizer
Overview
Smart Money Signals is a precision trading tool designed for traders who want to see market structure and momentum flow in real time. By detecting pivots, momentum imbalances, and dynamic support/resistance levels, the indicator transforms raw price action into a clear visual narrative of where capital is entering and exiting the market.
Instead of lagging averages or cluttered signals, Smart Money Signals highlights the moments that matter most—where bullish and bearish flows are confirmed, where support or resistance breaks, and where momentum zones show the true battleground between buyers and sellers. Its adaptive design makes it equally effective for scalpers seeking sharp entries, swing traders tracking reversals, and longer-term traders looking for confirmation of bias.
How It Works
The engine behind Smart Money Signals relies on swing detection and a configurable sensitivity filter. By monitoring directional momentum across recent bars, the system identifies bullish pivots (where downside exhaustion flips into strength) and bearish pivots (where upward thrust collapses into weakness).
When price confirms a pivot, the indicator draws flow lines to mark the breakout and labels them as either continuation or reversal events, depending on existing market bias. Momentum zones are automatically plotted, highlighting the critical areas where buyers defended price or sellers pressed it lower.
Dynamic support and resistance levels extend forward in time, updating live as price develops. These zones change color when broken, visually signaling whether structure has held or failed. Gradient background shading further emphasizes moments of extreme momentum, such as overbought or oversold surges, so that traders instantly see when market pressure intensifies.
Signals and Market Flows
Smart Money Signals provides visual cues that are both intuitive and actionable:
📈 Bullish Flow Signals appear when price breaks above a confirmed pivot, signaling continuation or reversal into strength.
📉 Bearish Flow Signals appear when price breaks below a confirmed pivot, indicating continuation or reversal into weakness.
Momentum Zones highlight the defended areas between pivots, giving traders a visual map of where structure is strongest.
Dynamic Support & Resistance lines extend across the chart, shifting from defense to failure when broken, ensuring that the most relevant levels are always visible.
Break Signals mark the exact bar where key levels give way, confirming structural violations in real time.
By filtering out noise and focusing on meaningful flow events, the system helps traders avoid overreaction and focus only on high-probability structural shifts.
Strategy Integration
Smart Money Signals is versatile across trading styles:
Trend Continuation : Enter in the direction of flow signals, using dynamic zones as both confirmation and stop-loss placement.
Reversal Trading : Watch for pivots tagged as reversal points, where market bias flips and new structure is created.
Momentum Zone Entries : Use the automatically drawn zones to identify low-risk entries on pullbacks or retests.
Bias Alignment : The integrated dashboard reveals the current market bias—bullish, bearish, or neutral—helping traders stay aligned with the dominant flow.
Stop-losses can be positioned beyond the dynamic zone on the opposite side, while take-profits may be guided by the width of zones or momentum-driven extensions. On higher timeframes, the indicator provides context for macro structure, while lower timeframes allow for tactical entry refinement.
Advanced Techniques
Traders seeking deeper precision can combine Smart Money Signals with volume or order flow tools to validate pivots and zone defenses. Monitoring the sequence of bullish and bearish flows helps identify trend maturity, while analyzing the success rate of pivots in the analytics panel builds a data-driven approach to confidence in signals.
Adjusting swing period and sensitivity allows the indicator to adapt to different market conditions, from volatile crypto pairs to steady forex majors. The flexible visual themes—Cyber, Ocean, Sunset, Matrix—ensure readability across setups, while gradient shading keeps the chart intuitive even under fast-moving conditions.
Why Use Smart Money Signals
Markets are driven by liquidity, momentum, and structure. Smart Money Signals uncovers these forces by translating price action into a clear visual map of flow. It shows:
Where structure was built.
Where it was defended.
Where it was broken.
And where momentum is likely to carry next.
By combining flow detection, dynamic zones, and a live analytics dashboard, the indicator provides traders with a complete framework for reading price action in real time.
Whether you trade crypto, forex, or indices, Smart Money Signals adapts seamlessly to any asset class, giving you clarity, precision, and confidence to execute without second-guessing.
Market Structure [PRO][keypoems] - 100% rewritten engineMarket Structure — 100% rewritten engine
Successor to my earlier script Supply and Demand Areas Responsible and Origins . This version rebuilds the engine from scratch and adds HTF support, tap tracking, dealing ranges (“expansion legs”), and DB/DT pattern logic.
What it draws
Market‑structure zones built from protected high/low and confirmed BOS/MSS. Zones extend forward and remain on chart until 50% mitigation is wicked. Optional 30/50/70 levels.
Protected High/Low lines and Continuation High/Low levels; BOS and MSS lines are plotted at confirmation.
SNDR (Supply & Demand Responsible) areas for the counter‑trend swing that caused the BOS. The engine auto‑pivots (tries 3‑pivot then 1‑pivot) and extends each SNDR until 100% mitigation. First‑tap and second‑tap states are tracked and visually marked.
Zone Tap detection : when price first enters an unmitigated zone, leaves it, and then violates a continuation level, the script confirms the tap and draws a horizontal TAP line from the tap swing for future retests.
Dealing Ranges (Expansion legs) : created on BOS→MSS flips or opposite‑direction MSS. Each range is anchored at the protected level, tracks the current extreme, and marks 50% mitigation. A diagonal arrow plus a 50% line show live progress. An optional right‑hand visual stacks all unmitigated ranges as compact boxes with their 50% line.
Double Bottom / Double Top patterns : search starts at BOS/MSS events, confirms on neckline break, and draws an ATR‑buffered box and an extending neckline.
Valid pullback labels and candidate confirmation lines help verify swing sequence formation.
HTF support
Choose a higher timeframe in the Timeframe input to compute market structure on HTF while viewing a lower‑timeframe chart. The script uses request.security and only confirms using closed HTF candles, so zones, BOS/MSS, mitigations and taps match the native HTF chart.
How it works (brief)
Builds an alternating sequence of valid swings, tracks protected levels, and creates a zone on BOS; zones close or roll when MSS occurs.
Zone mitigation = wick through the zone’s 50%. SNDR mitigation = full breach (100%).
Tap logic requires: entry into the zone → exit → violation of a relevant continuation level; only then the TAP line is drawn.
Dealing ranges start from the protected level at BOS→MSS (or opposite MSS), track the current extreme, and flag mitigation at 50%.
DB/DT confirms only after a close through the neckline.
Notes
Origins from the prior script have not been ported to this engine yet.
Includes a performance switch (scan all zones vs. a recent subset) and an optional on‑chart debug table.
Visual tool for price‑action study; not a strategy and not financial advice.
CISD with deviationsChange in State Delivery (CISD) is a well-recognized concept and serves as a key signal for identifying market direction through the behavior of CISD levels. In this approach, CISD is applied as the core measure of market structure, removing the variability that comes from user-defined interpretations.
How does it works :
Identifies CISD levels as the market delivers price.
Track whether price respects or violates these levels.
A confirmed shift (change in state) signals a potential transition in trend
Provides a clean structure map to guide execution
How to use it :
1)Align CISD shifts with your higher timeframe bias and the deviation levels marked by the indicator which often serve as the area for retracement or continuations.
2) Use CISD confirmation as a filter for trade entries.
3) Combine with liquidity pools, FVGs, or session timing for added confluence.
Features covered :
1) Automatic Bearish and Bullish CISD plotting.
2) Anchored Fibonacci levels are plotted based on the confirmed CISD. The Fibonacci levels are fixed and cannot be modified by the user because these levels serve a purpose.
3) Alerts can be set up by the users for whenever a bearish/bullish CISD is confirmed.
4) Automatic invalidations are set so that when price invalidates a CISD or hits the -4 level of a CISD as full target level, the CISD is automatically removed.
5) Currently , the maximum CISDs visible are limited to 3 each (bullish and bearish) to avoid cluttering on the chart.

Angle Market Structure [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
Angle Market Structure is a smart pivot-based tool that dynamically adapts to price action by accelerating breakout and breakdown detection. It draws market structure levels based on pivot highs/lows and gradually adjusts those levels closer to price using an angle threshold. Upon breakout, the indicator projects deviation zones with labeled levels (+1, +2, +3 or −1, −2, −3) to track price extension beyond structure.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Adaptive Market Structure: Uses pivots to define structure levels, which dynamically angle closer to price over time to capture breakouts sooner.
Breakout Acceleration: Pivot high levels decrease and pivot low levels increase each bar using a user-defined angle (based on ATR), improving reactivity.
Deviation Zones: Once a breakout or breakdown occurs, 3 deviation levels are projected to show how far price extends beyond the breakout point.
Count Labels: Each successful structure break is numbered sequentially, giving traders insight into momentum and trend persistence.
Visual Clarity: The script uses colored pivot points, trend lines, and extension labels for easy structural interpretation.
🔵 FEATURES
Calculates pivot highs and lows using a customizable length.
Applies an angle modifier (ATR-based) to gradually pull levels closer to price.
Plots breakout and breakdown lines in distinct colors with automatic extension.
Shows deviation zones (+1, +2, +3 or −1, −2, −3) after breakout with customizable size.
Color-coded labels for trend break count (bullish or bearish).
Dynamic label sizing and theme-aware colors.
Smart label positioning to avoid chart clutter.
Built-in limit for deviation zones to maintain clarity and performance.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use pivot-based market structure to identify breakout and breakdown zones.
Watch for crossover (up) or crossunder (down) events as trend continuation or reversal signals.
Observe +1/+2/+3 or -1/-2/-3 levels for overextension opportunities or trailing stop ideas.
Use breakout count as a proxy for trend strength—multiple counts suggest momentum.
Combine with volume or order flow tools for higher confidence entries at breakout points.
Adjust the angle setting to fine-tune sensitivity based on market volatility.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Angle Market Structure enhances traditional pivot-based analysis by introducing breakout acceleration and structured deviation tracking. It’s a powerful tool for traders seeking a cleaner, faster read on market structure and momentum strength—especially during impulsive price moves or structural transitions.
Market Regime Matrix [Alpha Extract]A sophisticated market regime classification system that combines multiple technical analysis components into an intelligent scoring framework to identify and track dominant market conditions. Utilizing advanced ADX-based trend detection, EMA directional analysis, volatility assessment, and crash protection protocols, the Market Regime Matrix delivers institutional-grade regime classification with BULL, BEAR, and CHOP states. The system features intelligent scoring with smoothing algorithms, duration filters for stability, and structure-based conviction adjustments to provide traders with clear, actionable market context.
🔶 Multi-Component Regime Engine Integrates five core analytical components: ADX trend strength detection, EMA-200 directional bias, ROC momentum analysis, Bollinger Band volatility measurement, and zig-zag structure verification. Each component contributes to a sophisticated scoring system that evaluates market conditions across multiple dimensions, ensuring comprehensive regime assessment with institutional precision.
// Gate Keeper: ADX determines market type
is_trending = adx_value > adx_trend_threshold
is_ranging = adx_value <= adx_trend_threshold
is_maximum_chop = adx_value <= adx_chop_threshold
// BULL CONDITIONS with Structure Veto
if price_above_ema and di_bullish
if use_structure_filter and isBullStructure
raw_bullScore := 5.0 // MAXIMUM CONVICTION: Strong signals + Bull structure
else if use_structure_filter and not isBullStructure
raw_bullScore := 3.0 // REDUCED: Strong signals but broken structure
🔶 Intelligent Scoring System Employs a dynamic 0-5 scale scoring mechanism for each regime type (BULL/BEAR/CHOP) with adaptive conviction levels. The system automatically adjusts scores based on signal alignment, market structure confirmation, and volatility conditions. Features decision margin requirements to prevent false regime changes and includes maximum conviction thresholds for high-probability setups.
🔶 Advanced Structure Filter Implements zig-zag based market structure analysis using configurable deviation thresholds to identify significant pivot points. The system tracks Higher Highs/Higher Lows (HH/HL) for bullish structure and Lower Lows/Lower Highs (LL/LH) for bearish structure, applying structure veto logic that reduces conviction when price action contradicts the underlying trend framework.
// Define Market Structure (Bull = HH/HL, Bear = LL/LH)
isBullStructure = not na(last_significant_high) and not na(prev_significant_high) and
not na(last_significant_low) and not na(prev_significant_low) and
last_significant_high > prev_significant_high and last_significant_low > prev_significant_low
isBearStructure = not na(last_significant_high) and not na(prev_significant_high) and
not na(last_significant_low) and not na(prev_significant_low) and
last_significant_low < prev_significant_low and last_significant_high < prev_significant_high
🔶 Superior Engine Components Features dual-layer regime stabilization through score smoothing and duration filtering. The score smoothing component reduces noise by averaging raw scores over configurable periods, while the duration filter requires minimum regime persistence before confirming changes. This eliminates whipsaws and ensures regime transitions represent genuine market shifts rather than temporary fluctuations.
🔶 Crash Detection & Active Penalties Incorporates sophisticated crash detection using Rate of Change (ROC) analysis with severity classification. When crash conditions are detected, the system applies active penalties (-5.0) to BULL and CHOP scores while boosting BEAR conviction based on crash severity. This ensures immediate regime response to major market dislocations and drawdown events.
// === CRASH OVERRIDE (Active Penalties) ===
is_crash = roc_value < crash_threshold
if is_crash
// Calculate crash severity
crash_severity = math.abs(roc_value / crash_threshold)
crash_bonus = 4.0 + (crash_severity - 1.0) * 2.0
// ACTIVE PENALTIES: Force bear dominance
raw_bearScore := math.max(raw_bearScore, crash_bonus)
raw_bullScore := -5.0 // ACTIVE PENALTY
raw_chopScore := -5.0 // ACTIVE PENALTY
❓How It Works
🔶 ADX-Based Market Classification The Market Regime Matrix uses ADX (Average Directional Index) as the primary gatekeeper to distinguish between trending and ranging market conditions. When ADX exceeds the trend threshold, the system activates BULL/BEAR regime logic using DI+/DI- crossovers and EMA positioning. When ADX falls below the ranging threshold, CHOP regime logic takes precedence, with maximum conviction assigned during ultra-low ADX periods.
🔶 Dynamic Conviction Scaling Each regime receives conviction ratings from UNCERTAIN to MAXIMUM based on signal alignment and score magnitude. MAXIMUM conviction (5.0 score) requires perfect signal alignment plus favorable market structure. The system progressively reduces conviction when signals conflict or structure breaks, ensuring traders understand the reliability of each regime classification.

- Key Features
Dynamic Zone Construction
Automatically detects key support and resistance zones based on pivot clustering logic, with customizable width and minimum strength thresholds.
Strength-Weighted Transparency
Zone opacity reflects the number of pivot hits — the more respected the level, the more visible the zone becomes. This allows traders to instantly gauge the strength of each zone at a glance.
Real-Time Zone Development
Zones appear live as pivot criteria are met; no lag or historical-only rendering.
Breakout & Breakdown Detection
Automatic breakout/breakdown tags highlight when price leaves a zone, helping spot continuation or reversal setups.
Multi-Timeframe Adaptive
Works effectively on intraday, swing, and macro timeframes with a tunable lookback window.
Clean Visual Hierarchy
Support and resistance zones extend 10 bars beyond the current candle, with MA overlays plotted above zones for clear visibility.
- Inputs & Settings
Source: Choose between High/Low or Close/Open pivots
Maximum Channel Width (%): Controls how far apart pivots can be to qualify as a zone
Minimum Strength: Sets how many pivot hits are required for a zone to appear
Lookback Period: Adjusts how far back the script evaluates pivot clusters
Customizable Colors: Separate colors for support, resistance, and mid-zone overlap
Breakout Tags: Optional visual markers for when price breaks out of a zone
MA Overlays: Two optional moving averages (SMA/EMA) to provide additional context
- Ideal Use Cases
Identifying high-probability support/resistance levels
Spotting breakout or fakeout setups
Enhancing confluence in technical strategies
Filtering entries/exits based on structural zones
Order Block Finder - yzeen ayoubCore Concept
Order blocks represent areas where large institutional traders (banks, hedge funds) have placed significant orders, creating zones of potential support or resistance. The script identifies these zones by looking for specific candlestick patterns.
How It Detects Order Blocks
Bullish Order Blocks
Formation: Starts with a single bearish candle (close < open)
Confirmation: Followed by a sequence of consecutive bullish candles
Displacement: Price must move up by a minimum percentage from the formation candle
Bearish Order Blocks
Formation: Starts with a single bullish candle (close > open)
Confirmation: Followed by a sequence of consecutive bearish candles
Displacement: Price must move down by a minimum percentage from the formation candle
Key Features
Visual Elements
Rectangles: Draw the actual order block zones using the high/low of formation candles
Equilibrium Lines: Show the middle point of each order block
Risk/Reward Lines: Display stop loss (SL), 2R, and 3R take profit levels
Color Themes: Bright or dark color schemes
Customizable Parameters
Confirmation Candles: How many consecutive candles needed (default: 5)
Display Count: Maximum order blocks to show (default: 20)
Minimum Displacement: Required percentage move after formation (default: 0.2%)
Visual Options: Toggle equilibrium lines, risk/reward levels, signature
Smart Features
Array Management: Automatically removes old order blocks to keep chart clean
Alert System: Notifies when price enters an order block zone
Performance Optimized: Uses efficient counting functions instead of complex loops
Trading Logic
The script assumes that:
Institutional Imbalance: The formation candle represents institutional order flow
Retail Response: The confirmation sequence shows retail traders responding
Future Reaction: When price returns to these zones, it may find support/resistance
Practical Use
Traders use this to:
Identify high-probability entry zones
Set stop losses below/above order blocks
Target 2R and 3R profit levels
Get alerts when price approaches these critical zones
The script essentially automates the process of finding these institutional footprints that many smart money traders look for manually.
Custom Multiple SMAs (Trend Structure Visualizer)This indicator displays 16 consecutive Simple Moving Averages (SMAs), from SMA 8 to SMA 23, plotted simultaneously on the chart. Together, they form a color-coded SMA fan that allows you to clearly visualize the current market structure.
What you can observe in the chart:
– When the lines are flat and tightly clustered , the market is likely consolidating or moving sideways
– When the lines fan out and expand , a trend or directional momentum is building
– When the lines start converging or crossing again , it may indicate a trend pause or potential reversal
A 100-period EMA (yellow line) serves as a basic trend filter:
– Price above the EMA suggests an long-biased market
– Price below the EMA suggests a short-biased market
What makes this tool unique:
Unlike traditional single-SMA indicators, this tool also highlights phases when it's better to stay out of the market – such as during flat, unstructured sideways conditions.
Transitions from low activity to trending phases become clearly and early visible, without relying on additional signals or indicator noise.
The indicator works across all markets and timeframes and remains visually stable even during fast market movements. It is a visual decision-making tool and does not generate automatic signals or alerts.
Volume Footprint Anomaly Scanner [PhenLabs]📊 PhenLabs - Volume Footprint Anomaly Scanner (VFAS)
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The PhenLabs Volume Footprint Anomaly Scanner (VFAS) is an advanced Pine Script indicator designed to detect and highlight significant imbalances in buying and selling pressure within individual price bars. By analyzing a calculated "Delta" – the net difference between estimated buy and sell volume – and employing statistical Z-score analysis, VFAS pinpoints moments when buying or selling activity becomes unusually dominant. This script was created not in hopes of creating a "Buy and Sell" indicator but rather providing the user with a more in-depth insight into the intrabar volume delta and how it can fluctuate in unusual ways, leading to anomalies that can be capitalized on.
This indicator helps traders identify high-conviction points where strong market participants are active, signaling potential shifts in momentum or continuation of a trend. It aims to provide a clearer understanding of underlying market dynamics, allowing for more informed decision-making in various trading strategies, from identifying entry points to confirming trend strength.
🚀 Points of Innovation
● Z-Score for Delta Analysis : Utilizes statistical Z-scores to objectively identify statistically significant anomalies in buying/selling pressure, moving beyond simple, arbitrary thresholds.

📖 Usage Guidelines
Setting Categories
⚙️ Core Delta & Volume Engine
● Minimum Volume Lookback (Bars)
○ Default: 9
○ Range: Integer (e.g., 5-50)
○ Description: Defines the number of preceding bars used to calculate the average volume and delta. Bars with volume below this average won't be considered for high-volume signals. A shorter lookback is more reactive to recent changes, while a longer one provides a smoother average.
📈 Anomaly Detection Settings
Delta Z-Score Anomaly Threshold
○ Default: 2.5
○ Range: Float (e.g., 1.0-5.0+)
○ Description: The number of standard deviations from the mean that a bar's delta must exceed to be considered a significant anomaly. A higher threshold means fewer, but potentially stronger, signals. A lower threshold will generate more signals, which might include less significant events. Experiment to find the optimal balance for your trading style.
🔬 Context Filters
Enable Trend Filter
○ Default: False
○ Range: Boolean (True/False)
○ Description: When enabled, signals will only be generated if they align with the current market trend as determined by the EMAs (e.g., only bullish signals in an uptrend, bearish in a downtrend). This helps to filter out counter-trend noise.
● Trend EMA Fast
○ Default: 50
○ Range: Integer (e.g., 10-100)
○ Description: The period for the faster Exponential Moving Average used in the trend filter. In combination with the slow EMA, it defines the trend direction.
● Trend EMA Slow
○ Default: 200
○ Range: Integer (e.g., 100-400)
○ Description: The period for the slower Exponential Moving Average used in the trend filter. The relationship between the fast and slow EMA determines if the market is in an uptrend (fast > slow) or downtrend (fast < slow).
🎨 Visual & UI Settings
● Show Info Dashboard
○ Default: True
○ Range: Boolean (True/False)
○ Description: Toggles the visibility of the dashboard on the chart, which provides a summary of market trend and the last detected signal.
● Show Dashboard Tooltip
○ Default: True
○ Range: Boolean (True/False)
○ Description: Toggles a reminder message in the dashboard to hover over signal labels for more detailed information.
● Show Delta Anomaly Bar Colors
○ Default: True
○ Range: Boolean (True/False)
○ Description: Enables or disables the coloring of bars based on their delta direction and whether they represent a significant anomaly.
● Show Signal Labels
○ Default: True
○ Range: Boolean (True/False)
○ Description: Controls the visibility of the “📈” or “📉” labels that appear on the chart when a delta anomaly signal is generated.
🔔 Alert Settings
Alert on Delta Anomaly
○ Default: True
○ Range: Boolean (True/False)
○ Description: When enabled, this setting allows you to set up alerts in TradingView that will trigger whenever a new bullish or bearish delta anomaly is detected.
✅ Best Use Cases
Early Trend Reversal / Continuation Detection: Identify strong surges of buying/selling pressure at key support/resistance levels that could indicate a reversal or the continuation of a strong move.
● Confirmation of Breakouts: Use high-confidence delta anomalies to confirm the validity of price breakouts, indicating strong conviction behind the move.
● Entry and Exit Points: Pinpoint precise entry opportunities when anomalies align with your trading strategy, or identify potential exhaustion signals for exiting trades.
● Scalping and Day Trading: The indicator’s sensitivity to intraday buying/selling imbalances makes it highly effective for short-term trading strategies.
● Market Sentiment Analysis: Gain a real-time understanding of underlying market sentiment by observing the prevalence and strength of bullish vs. bearish anomalies.
⚠️ Limitations
Estimated Delta: The script uses a simplified method to estimate delta based on bar close relative to its range, not actual order book or footprint data. While effective, it’s an approximation.
● Sensitivity to Z-Score Threshold: The effectiveness heavily relies on the `Delta Z-Score Anomaly Threshold`. Too low, and you’ll get many false positives; too high, and you might miss valid signals.
● Confirmation Criteria: The 4-star confidence level’s “confirmation” relies on specific subsequent bar conditions and previous confirmed signals, which might be too strict or specific for all contexts.
● Requires Context: While powerful, VFAS is best used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and price action to form a comprehensive trading strategy. It is not a standalone “buy/sell” signal.
💡 What Makes This Unique
Statistical Rigor: The application of Z-score analysis to bar delta provides an objective, statistically-driven way to identify true anomalies, moving beyond arbitrary thresholds.
● Multi-Factor Confidence Scoring: The unique 1-4 star confidence system integrates multiple market dynamics (volume, trend alignment, specific follow-through) into a single, easy-to-interpret rating.
● User-Friendly Design: From the intuitive dashboard to the detailed signal tooltips, the indicator prioritizes clear and accessible information for traders of all experience levels.
🔬 How It Works
1. Bar Delta Calculation:
● The script first estimates the “buy volume” and “sell volume” for each bar. This is done by assuming that volume proportional to the distance from the low to the close represents buying, and volume proportional to the distance from the high to the close represents selling.
● How this contributes: This provides a proxy for the net buying or selling pressure (delta) within that specific price bar, even without access to actual footprint data.
2. Volume & Delta Z-Score Analysis:
● The average volume over a user-defined lookback period is calculated. Bars with volume less than twice this average are generally considered of lower interest.
● The Z-score for the calculated bar delta is computed. The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the current bar’s delta is from its average delta over the `Minimum Volume Lookback` period.
● How this contributes: A high positive Z-score indicates a bullish delta anomaly (significantly more buying than usual), while a high negative Z-score indicates a bearish delta anomaly (significantly more selling than usual). This identifies statistically unusual levels of pressure.
3. Trend Filtering (Optional):
● Two Exponential Moving Averages (Fast and Slow EMA) are used to determine the prevailing market trend. An uptrend is identified when the Fast EMA is above the Slow EMA, and a downtrend when the Fast EMA is below the Slow EMA.
● How this contributes: If enabled, the indicator will only display bullish delta anomalies during an uptrend and bearish delta anomalies during a downtrend, helping to confirm signals within the broader market context and avoid counter-trend signals.
4. Signal Generation & Confidence Scoring:
● When a delta Z-score exceeds the user-defined anomaly threshold, a signal is generated.
● This signal is then passed through a multi-factor confidence algorithm (`f_calculateConfidence`). It awards stars based on: high volume presence, alignment with the overall trend (if enabled), and a fourth star for very strong Z-scores (above 3.0) combined with specific follow-through candle patterns after a cooling-off period from a previous confirmed signal.
● How this contributes: Provides a qualitative rating (1-4 stars) for each anomaly, allowing traders to quickly assess the potential significance and reliability of the signal.
💡 Note:
The PhenLabs Volume Footprint Anomaly Scanner is a powerful analytical tool, but it’s crucial to understand that no indicator guarantees profit. Always backtest and forward-test the indicator settings on your chosen assets and timeframes. Consider integrating VFAS with your existing trading strategy, using its signals as confirmation for entries, exits, or trend bias. The Z-score threshold is highly customizable; lower values will yield more signals (including potential noise), while higher values will provide fewer but potentially higher-conviction signals. Adjust this parameter based on market volatility and your risk tolerance. Remember to combine statistical insights from VFAS with price action, support/resistance levels, and your overall market outlook for optimal results.

▶ Measures imbalance between buying and selling pressure
▶ Maximum points when ratio exceeds predefined multiplier threshold
• Advanced Weighting Factors:
▶ Candle Structure: Body size, wick length, and orientation
▶ Trend Alignment: Signal relationship to current trend
▶ Volume Spike: Abnormal volume increase detection
▶ Cross-Market Confirmation: Strength of signal alignment between CME and exchange
─────────────────────────────────────
◆ Practical Trading Applications
■ Reversal Trading Strategy
• Buy Signal Application:
▶ Setup: Strong buy energy wave (60%+) on a bearish candle
▶ Entry: After confirmation candle following the signal
▶ Stop Loss: Below recent low or 1 ATR below entry
▶ Take Profit: Previous resistance or 1:2 risk-reward minimum
▶ Enhancers: Signal occurring at support zone, oversold conditions, or trend line tests
• Sell Signal Application:
▶ Setup: Strong sell energy wave (60%+) on a bullish candle

▶ Signals on lower timeframes (15m, 1H) offer tactical entry points
▶ Highest probability setups occur when signals align across multiple timeframes
• Signal Clustering:
▶ Multiple signals in the same price area significantly increase probability
▶ Look for areas where both buy and sell signals have appeared, indicating battleground zones
▶ The most recent signal direction often wins these battles
─────────────────────────────────────
◆ Technical Foundation
■ Why Cross-Market Confirmation Matters
• Institutional Participation:
▶ CME Bitcoin futures are dominated by regulated institutional investors
▶ Crypto exchange futures include both retail and institutional players
▶ When both markets show the same smart money pattern, the signal reliability increases dramatically
• Market Inefficiency Exploitation:
▶ Large players often position across multiple venues to minimize market impact
▶ This coordinated activity creates detectable footprints when analyzed correctly
▶ Cross-market confirmation helps filter out market noise and isolate true smart money movements
■ Smart Volume Calculation Methodology
• Price-Volume Relationship Analysis:
▶ Uses candle structure to estimate buying vs. selling volume
▶ Buying volume = Total volume × (Close - Low) / (High - Low)
▶ Selling volume = Total volume × (High - Close) / (High - Low)
• Signal Triggering Logic:
▶ Buy signal: When buying volume exceeds selling volume by multiplier factor
▶ Sell signal: When selling volume exceeds buying volume by multiplier factor
▶ Both conditions must be met simultaneously on CME and exchange futures
• Advanced Pattern Recognition:
▶ Evaluates candle body-to-range ratio for signal quality

Fair Value MSThis indicator introduces rigid rules to familiar concepts to better capture and visualize Market Structure and Areas of Support and Resistance in a way that is both rule-based and reactive to market movements.
Typical "Market Structure" or "Zig-Zag" methods determine swing points based on fixed thresholds (length or percentage). While this does provide rigid structure, the results may be lagging or confusing due to the timing, since it is fixed to static parameters.
I believe the concept of Fair Value Gaps can solve this problem.
As you will notice, there are no length settings in this indicator.
> FVG Market Structure
Fair Value Gaps are a well known concept used to indicate directional intent, forming when price moves aggressively in one direction, leaving behind an imbalance between buyers and sellers. While the term FVG was popularized by ICT, the underlying concept predates them, known historically as imbalances, inefficiencies, or liquidity voids in institutional trading.
Note: For simplicity, in this indicator they'll be called FVGs.
By reading into this, we are able to clearly and rigidly define market structure simply by "looking" at the chart, using objective price events rather than subjective interpretation, or lengths.
By using FVGs to determine structure direction, the length, and speed of identification lies entirely on the market. If an FVG Down occurs immediately after a New Higher High forms, it is reasonable to assume there was a seller at that point, so the script would indicate a New Swing High.
The script is NOT stuck, waiting for a % retrace, or # bars to pass to identify it as such.
Sometimes the market is in a steady trend in a single direction and no FVGs form; therefore, no structure forms. -> Why would we try to impose structure on a clear trend?
Ultimately, the FVG Structure Method uses real reactions from the market to determine Market structure, and is not fixed to specific parameters.
As with other market structure indicators, "Market Structure Breaks" are still identifiable when price moves outside the most recent swing points.
These are helpful to indicate larger direction. In the following section you will see how these help us determine when we should start the search for an "Area of Interest (AOI)".
> Areas of Interest (AOIs)
"Area of Interest (AOI)" is a generalized term, and could refer to many types of zones you might recognize under different names. While the AOIs in this indicator are specialized in their own way, I have chosen to simply use the term "Area of Interest" because it’s more important to understand how they behave and why they exist than to focus on what they’re called.
The goal of an AOI is to point out reasonable areas where buyers or sellers may be staging, as is typical with support and resistance.
In order to reasonably identify these areas, we look for cause and effect relationships. When considering these relationships, it's easier to understand the placement of the points to define each zone.
(Buyer Examples)
Cause: Strong Buyers step in at Swing Low
Effect: Fair Value Gap Forms
Cause: Sustained Buying Pressure
Effect: Market Structure Breaks
In this example, The zone is drawn from the Swing Low, to the Bottom of the FVG closest to the swing point.
In theory, the participation at the swing point was strong and aggressive enough to create the FVG imbalance. Which then found acceptance and continued into a Market Structure Break. So with these AOIs, we are trying to locate the aggressive Buyers or Sellers which were positioned BEFORE the FVG.
These Zones are intended to act as areas to look for reactions from market participants, to judge where price may be going. When revisiting these zones, we look for a reaction or a break, to further provide us information to if the buyers or sellers are still there.
As seen in the screenshot above, The information we gain is not from the creation of these zones, but from the behavior we witness when these zones are revisited.
Technical Note: In this indicator, Market Structure Breaks are only considered when price closes outside the recent swing points. Wicks are not considered as confirmation, therefore are not used to detect structural breaks.
Inside each AOI you can optionally display a readout of the volume which accumulated during the time starting at the swing point and going until the closing bar of the FVG.
Note: We are counting volume until the closing bar of the FVG since the FVG is a 3 bar formation, and aggressive volume is required throughout to create the imbalance.
There are multiple FVGs that typically occur in a single direction, but we do not look to every single one to be indicative of structure, only the first FVG in the opposite direction of the previous direction (which is determined by previous FVGs)
You will probably notice, the AOIs do not form from the closest swing or FVG to the break, this is because we are targeting larger directional changes to draw these AOIs from.
Since they do not always happen perfectly every time, the AOI formation waits for an FVG to occur AND a Market structure break to happen. One without the other will result in no Zone displaying.
> Reflection Lines
While they may seem slightly redundant, Reflection Lines serve as reminders of previous support and resistance pivots. They are drawn at the same Pivots where and AOI is formed, and extend beyond the mitigation of the AOI.
These lines are often points of price to look for "Support Flips", a re-test pattern where price trades through previous support (or resistance) then returns to it and rejects, continuing into a larger move or trend.
Their namesake is based on the behavior of price, "reflecting" at these levels.
The Reflection lines are simple and change color based on price's location.
If price is above, we would typically look to a reflection line in with support in mind.
As a basic filter, these lines use an average price to determine their color, this way they will not change their color as frequently in choppy situations.
> Session Start/End Lines
For analysis purposes and trade review, it is helpful to analyze with context.
For that reason, I have implemented start and end session lines into the indicator, these are helpful when reviewing historical charts to not provide additional context.
By default, they are set to the NYSE Session, but can be changed to fit any needs.
These lines are not advanced, and simply draw a line as the chart passes the start and end of the sessions. It's very likely that you may need to adjust the session for your specific needs.
Note: The Timezone can be adjusted within the code if needed. By Default, the indicator uses "America/New_York" Timezone.
> Conclusion
If you’ve ever felt like your structure tools were confusing or lagging, drawing zones too late, or zones that simply don't make sense, this should feel like a breath of fresh air.
By removing arbitrary length settings and instead using FVGs to define structure and as a basis for AOIs, you're getting a more accurate look at what price is doing and where it's reacting from.
This indicator is rule-based, reactive, and aims to keep things logical without fluff or false confidence.
Enjoy!
Ultimate Market Structure [Alpha Extract]Ultimate Market Structure
A comprehensive market structure analysis tool that combines advanced swing point detection, imbalance zone identification, and intelligent break analysis to identify high-probability trading opportunities.Utilizing a sophisticated trend scoring system, this indicator classifies market conditions and provides clear signals for structure breaks, directional changes, and fair value gap detection with institutional-grade precision.
🔶 Advanced Swing Point Detection
Identifies pivot highs and lows using configurable lookback periods with optional close-based analysis for cleaner signals. The system automatically labels swing points as Higher Highs (HH), Lower Highs (LH), Higher Lows (HL), and Lower Lows (LL) while providing advanced classifications including "rising_high", "falling_high", "rising_low", "falling_low", "peak_high", and "valley_low" for nuanced market analysis.
swingHighPrice = useClosesForStructure ? ta.pivothigh(close, swingLength, swingLength) : ta.pivothigh(high, swingLength, swingLength)
swingLowPrice = useClosesForStructure ? ta.pivotlow(close, swingLength, swingLength) : ta.pivotlow(low, swingLength, swingLength)
classification = classifyStructurePoint(structureHighPrice, upperStructure, true)
significance = calculateSignificance(structureHighPrice, upperStructure, true)
🔶 Significance Scoring System
Each structure point receives a significance level on a 1-5 scale based on its distance from previous points, helping prioritize the most important levels. This intelligent scoring system ensures traders focus on the most meaningful structure breaks while filtering out minor noise.
🔶 Comprehensive Trend Analysis
Calculates momentum, strength, direction, and confidence levels using volatility-normalized price changes and multi-timeframe correlation. The system provides real-time trend state tracking with bullish (+1), bearish (-1), or neutral (0) direction assessment and 0-100 confidence scoring.
// Calculate trend momentum using rate of change and volatility
calculateTrendMomentum(lookback) =>
priceChange = (close - close ) / close * 100
avgVolatility = ta.atr(lookback) / close * 100
momentum = priceChange / (avgVolatility + 0.0001)
momentum
// Calculate trend strength using multiple timeframe correlation
calculateTrendStrength(shortPeriod, longPeriod) =>
shortMA = ta.sma(close, shortPeriod)
longMA = ta.sma(close, longPeriod)
separation = math.abs(shortMA - longMA) / longMA * 100
strength = separation * slopeAlignment
❓How It Works
🔶 Imbalance Zone Detection
Identifies Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) between consecutive candles where price gaps create unfilled areas. These zones are displayed as semi-transparent boxes with optional center line mitigation tracking, highlighting potential support and resistance levels where institutional players often react.
// Detect Fair Value Gaps
detectPriceImbalance() =>
currentHigh = high
currentLow = low
refHigh = high
refLow = low
if currentOpen > currentClose
if currentHigh - refLow < 0
upperBound = currentClose - (currentClose - refLow)
lowerBound = currentClose - (currentClose - currentHigh)
centerPoint = (upperBound + lowerBound) / 2
newZone = ImbalanceZone.new(
zoneBox = box.new(bar_index, upperBound, rightEdge, lowerBound,
bgcolor=bullishImbalanceColor, border_color=hiddenColor)
)
🔶 Structure Break Analysis
Determines Break of Structure (BOS) for trend continuation and Directional Change (DC) for trend reversals with advanced classification as "continuation", "reversal", or "neutral". The system compares pre-trend and post-trend states for each break, providing comprehensive trend change momentum analysis.
🔶 Intelligent Zone Management
Features partial mitigation tracking when price enters but doesn't fully fill zones, with automatic zone boundary adjustment during partial fills. Smart array management keeps only recent structure points for optimal performance while preventing duplicate signals from the same level.
🔶 Liquidity Zone Detection
Automatically identifies potential liquidity zones at key structure points for institutional trading analysis. The system tracks broken structure points and provides adaptive zone extension with configurable time-based limits for imbalance areas.
🔶 Visual Structure Mapping
Provides clear visual indicators including swing labels with color-coded significance levels, dashed lines connecting break points with BOS/DC labels, and break signals for continuation and reversal patterns. The adaptive zones feature smart management with automatic mitigation tracking.
🔶 Market Structure Interpretation
HH/HL patterns indicate bullish market structure with trend continuation likelihood, while LH/LL patterns signal bearish structure with downtrend continuation expected. BOS signals represent structure breaks in trend direction for continuation opportunities, while DC signals warn of potential reversals.
🔶 Performance Optimization
Automatic cleanup of old structure points (keeps last 8 points), recent break tracking (keeps last 5 break events), and efficient array management ensure smooth performance across all timeframes and market conditions.
