Micro/Mini P&L [LDT]Overview
Micro/Mini P&L is a risk and P&L visualization tool built primarily for futures traders.
It provides accurate dollar-based calculations for either micros or minis, regardless of which contract type you are currently charting.
The indicator automatically detects your instrument (NQ, MNQ, ES, MES, YM, RTY, CL, GC, etc.) and adjusts point-value data accordingly, allowing you to chart one contract while evaluating risk for another.
This removes the need for manual conversions and keeps your position data consistent at all times.
Although optimized for futures, the tool also works on any other asset for general trade-level visualization.
Features
• Automatic instrument detection for major futures markets including NQ/MNQ, ES/MES, YM/MYM, RTY/M2K, CL/MCL, GC/MGC and others.
Point-value logic adjusts instantly based on the detected symbol ensuring accurate calculations without manual configuration.
• Micro/Mini display toggle, allowing you to calculate dollar values for either contract type regardless of which contract is on your chart.
Useful for traders who prefer charting minis whilst trading micros or the opposite.
• Trade-level visualization, including Entry, Take Profit and Stop Loss levels with automatically drawn lines and optional TP/SL zone shading for clear and structured display on the chart.
• Dynamic P/L calculations, showing both point-based and dollar-based metrics in real time.
This includes TP/SL dollar values, points to target/stop, real-time P/L and an optional risk-reward ratio.
• Adaptive risk table, displaying contract counts from 1 up to your selected maximum, total dollar risk for each row and highlighting your chosen contract size.
This provides a straightforward method for evaluating risk, scaling and position sizing.
• Customizable display options, including color settings, label visibility, extension length, bar offsets and table positioning.
This allows the tool to remain clean, unobtrusive and easy to integrate into any chart layout.
Purpose
This tool is designed to give futures traders a clear, consistent and reliable way to view dollar-accurate risk per contract without performing manual conversions.
Whether you trade micros or minis, the displayed values always align with your selected contract type, even when charting the opposite market.
Multitimeframe
[CT] Kurutoga MTF HistogramWhat is Kurutoga MTF Histogram?
The Kurutoga MTF Histogram is a multi-time-frame momentum and mean-deviation tool.
It measures how far the current close is trading away from a rolling midpoint of price and then displays that deviation as a color-coded histogram.
Instead of looking only at one lookback, this version plots three Kurutoga “leads” at the same time:
Kurutoga Lead (x1) – base length
Kurutoga Lead 2x – slower, 2 × base length
Kurutoga Lead 4x – slowest, 4 × base length
Each lead is calculated both on the chart’s timeframe (LTF) and on a Higher Time Frame (HTF) of your choice, so you can see short-term deviation inside a higher-time-frame structure.
4-color Kurutoga scheme
Each Kurutoga lead uses a 4-color MACD-style scheme:
For a given lead:
Up Light – divergence ≥ 0 and rising compared to the previous bar
Up Dark – divergence ≥ 0 and falling (positive but losing momentum)
Down Light – divergence < 0 and falling (bearish momentum increasing)
Down Dark – divergence < 0 and rising (negative but contracting)
By default the same four teal / red hues are shared across x1, x2, and x4. The only difference between the leads is transparency:
x1 = strongest (least transparent)
x2 = medium opacity
x4 = faintest
This lets you see all three layers at once without the chart becoming a solid block of color.
The HTF areas use the same palette but with an extra transparency offset applied, so they appear as soft background bands rather than competing with the histograms.
Inputs and how to use them
1. Base Length
Defines the lookback for the main Kurutoga Lead.
The script automatically creates:
len1 = baseLength
len2 = baseLength × 2
len3 = baseLength × 4
Smaller base lengths → faster, more reactive histograms.
Larger base lengths → smoother, trend-focused behavior.
2. Higher Time Frame
This is the HTF used for the area plots and HTF midpoints.
Examples:
5-minute chart with HTF = 30 or 60 minutes
15-minute chart with HTF = 4H or 1D
The idea is to trade on the lower timeframe while seeing how far price is stretched relative to a higher-time-frame range midpoint.
3. Show / Hide toggles
Under “Show / Hide” you can independently turn on/off:
Kurutoga Lead (x1)
Kurutoga Lead 2x
Kurutoga Lead 4x
HTF Lead, HTF Lead 2x, HTF Lead 4x
This lets you:
Run only a single Kurutoga if you want a clean panel, or
Stack multiple leads for a “multi-speed” view of extension and mean reversion.
4. Color Scheme (4-color Kurutoga)
Up Light / Up Dark / Down Light / Down Dark – base hues used for every lead.
Lead opacity (x1, 2x, 4x) – sets how strong or faint each lead appears.
x1 is usually your primary “trading speed.”
x2 and x4 can be faded so they act as context.
Extra transparency for HTF areas – additional opacity applied on top of each lead’s opacity when drawing HTF areas. This keeps the HTF layer subtle.
You can fine-tune the exact teal/red values here to match your personal palette.
Practical reading & trade ideas
Trend alignment
When all three Kurutoga leads (x1, 2x, 4x) are above zero, price is trading above its rolling mid-range on multiple speeds → bullish environment.
When all three are below zero, you have a multi-speed bearish environment.
Mixed readings (e.g., x1 above zero, x4 below zero) can signal transition or mean-reversion areas.
Momentum vs exhaustion
Up Light / Down Light (light colors) show momentum expanding in that direction.
Up Dark / Down Dark (dark colors) show momentum contracting – price still on that side of zero, but the push is weakening.
After a run of Up Light bars, a shift to Up Dark may hint at a stall or pullback.
After a run of Down Light bars, a shift to Down Dark may hint at short covering / bounce potential.
Multi-time-frame confluence
Use the HTF areas as a backdrop:
If LTF Kurutoga leads are above zero while the HTF area is also positive (and ideally expanding), that’s strong bullish alignment.
If LTF leads are trying to flip up while HTF divergence is still deeply negative, you may be looking at a counter-trend bounce rather than a true trend change.
Example setups
Trend-following entries:
Look for x2 & x4 leads on the same side of zero as the HTF area, then use x1 color shifts (from Down Dark → Up Light or vice versa) to fine-tune entries in the direction of that higher-time-frame bias.
Mean-reversion fades:
Watch for extreme Kurutoga values where x1/x2 are strongly extended beyond zero while color flips from Light to Dark (momentum stalling) against an opposing HTF backdrop .
Notes
The indicator is non-directional by itself – it measures distance from a rolling midpoint rather than trend structure or order flow. It works best when combined with your existing price action/trend tools (moving averages, HLBO, structure zones, etc.).
Because HTF values are brought down via request.security, choose HTF settings that make sense for your product and session (for example, don’t use very high HTFs on thin intraday markets).
Use the Kurutoga MTF Histogram as a visual scanner for extension, momentum regime, and multi-speed alignment, then layer your own entry/exit rules on top.
MARKET Structure + MTF DashboardThis script automatically detects market structure shifts and visualizes:
Bullish BOS (Break of Structure)
Bearish BOS
Bullish CHoCH (Change of Character)
Bearish CHoCH
On top of that, it shows a multi-timeframe dashboard in the top-right corner of the chart, so you can instantly see the latest structure event on:
1m
6m
36m
216m
1D
regardless of which timeframe you are currently viewing.
Core Logic
The script is built around swing highs / swing lows using ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow.
Pivot Definition
A swing high / low is defined by:
lb = left bars
rb = right bars
A pivot high is a bar whose high is higher than the previous lb bars and the next rb bars.
A pivot low is a bar whose low is lower than the previous lb bars and the next rb bars.
Break Conditions
After a pivot is confirmed, the script waits at least N bars (minBarsAfterPivot) before accepting any break of that pivot level as a valid structure event.
You can choose how to define the break:
Close-based (닫기) – use candle close
Wick-based (없음 or 꼬리) – use high/low (full wick)
BOS vs CHoCH Classification
For each timeframe, the script tracks structure breaks and classifies them:
A move breaking above the last swing high → upward break
A move breaking below the last swing low → downward break
Then:
If the current break direction is the same as the previous break
→ it is classified as BOS (trend continuation)
If the current break direction is the opposite of the previous break
→ it is classified as CHoCH (trend reversal / change of character)
Return codes (internally):
1 = Bullish BOS
2 = Bullish CHoCH
-1 = Bearish BOS
-2 = Bearish CHoCH
0 = no event
Chart Annotations
On the active chart timeframe, the script can optionally show:
Structure lines:
Horizontal lines at the price level where BOS / CHoCH occurred
Lines extend to the left until the first candle that previously touched that price zone
Labels:
“Bull BOS”, “Bear BOS”, “Bull CHoCH”, “Bear CHoCH”
Fully color-customizable (line color, label background, text color, transparency)
You can also enable/disable pivot labels (HH, HL, LL, LH) for swing highs and lows, with separate toggles for:
HH / LL
HL / LH
Multi-Timeframe Dashboard
The dashboard in the top-right corner shows, for each timeframe:
1m / 6m / 36m / 216m / 1D
The last structure event (Bull BOS, Bull CHoCH, Bear BOS, Bear CHoCH, or None)
Colored background by event type:
Strong green / red for CHoCH
Softer green / red for BOS
Gray for None
The important part:
Each timeframe’s state is calculated inside that timeframe itself and then pulled via request.security().
That means:
No matter which chart timeframe you are currently on,
the dashboard always shows the same last event for each TF.
Inputs
Pivot lb / Pivot rb
Control how “wide” a swing must be to be accepted as a pivot.
Breakout 기준 (Confirm type)
Close-based or wick-based break logic.
피봇 이후 최소 대기 캔들 수 (Min bars after pivot)
Minimum number of bars that must pass after a pivot forms before a break can count as BOS / CHoCH.
This filters out very early / noisy breaks.
Toggles:
Show pivot balloons (HH/HL/LL/LH)
Show BOS
Show CHoCH
Visual:
Line colors for each event type
Line transparency
Label background transparency
Label text color
Alerts
The script defines alert conditions for:
Bullish BOS
Bearish BOS
Bullish CHoCH
Bearish CHoCH
You can use them to trigger notifications when a new structure event occurs on the active timeframe.
Notes & Usage
This is a market structure helper, not a complete trading system.
BOS / CHoCH should be used together with:
Liquidity zones
Volume / delta
Orderflow or higher-timeframe context
Parameters like lb, rb, and minBarsAfterPivot are intentionally exposed so you can tune:
Sensitivity vs. reliability
Scalping vs. swing-structure

Smart RSI MTF [DotGain]Summary
Are you tired of constantly switching between timeframes to check the RSI, only to miss the bigger picture?
The Smart RSI MTF (Multi-Timeframe) is designed to solve this exact problem. It is a streamlined chart overlay that monitors RSI conditions across up to 10 different timeframes simultaneously —from the 1-minute chart all the way up to the Monthly view.
This indicator removes the need for multiple open tabs and declutters your analysis by plotting signals directly on your main chart using a smart "visual hierarchy" system based on transparency.
⚙️ Core Components and Logic
The Smart RSI MTF relies on a sophisticated 3-layer logic to deliver clear, actionable context:
Multi-Timeframe Engine: The script runs 10 independent RSI calculations in the background. It checks standard intervals (5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, Daily, Weekly, Monthly) to ensure you never miss a momentum extreme on any scale.
Classic RSI Thresholds:
Overbought (> 70): Indicates price may be extended to the upside.
Oversold (< 30): Indicates price may be extended to the downside.
Smart Visibility System (The "Secret Sauce"): Not all signals are equal. A 5-minute Overbought signal is "noise" compared to a Weekly Overbought signal. This indicator automatically applies Transparency to differentiate importance:
Minutes = High Transparency (Faint).
Hours = Medium Transparency.
Days/Weeks/Months = No Transparency (Solid/Bold).
🚦 How to Read the Indicator
The indicator plots shapes (Labels by default) directly above or below the candles. The appearance tells you the direction and the timeframe significance:
🟥 RED SIGNALS (Overbought Condition)
Trigger: RSI is above 70 on a specific timeframe.
Location: Placed above the candle bar.
Meaning: Potential bearish reversal or pullback.
🟩 GREEN SIGNALS (Oversold Condition)
Trigger: RSI is below 30 on a specific timeframe.
Location: Placed below the candle bar.
Meaning: Potential bullish reversal or bounce.
👻 TRANSPARENCY (Signal Strength)
Faint/Ghostly: The signal comes from a lower timeframe (e.g., 5m, 15m). Use for scalping or entry timing.
Solid/Bright: The signal comes from a major timeframe (e.g., Daily, Weekly). Use for swing trading and identifying major market turns.
Visual Elements
Symbol Shapes: Fully customizable (Label, Diamond, Circle, Triangle, etc.) via settings.
Stacking: If multiple timeframes trigger at once, symbols will overlay, creating a visually denser and darker color, indicating Confluence .
Key Benefit
The goal of the Smart RSI MTF is to help traders instantly spot Confluence . When you see a faint short-term signal align with a solid long-term signal, you have identified a high-probability reversal zone without leaving your chart.
Have fun :)

ICT FVG & Order Flow (IRL to ERL)Overview
Master liquidity with precision. This indicator brings the iCT trading concept to life by automatically detecting liquidity pools, fair value gaps, and key swing points. It shows you exactly where price is likely to move next — from Internal Range Liquidity (IRL) to External Range Liquidity (ERL). With built-in alerts and multi-timeframe validation, it helps you stay one step ahead of the market.
Concept
Markets move where liquidity is. According to iCT theory, price usually sweeps internal liquidity (IRL) first and then hunts for external liquidity (ERL). By mapping this process in real time, the indicator provides a clear framework for understanding market structure, liquidity grabs, and directional bias.
How it works
Detects the High-Probability Leg (HPL) — the leg containing a fair value gap (FVG)
Highlights unmitigated FVGs within the current context.
Marks swing points (SPs), IRL levels, and ERL targets automatically.
Identifies IRL rejections when liquidity is taken inside the leg.
Identifies if a FVG is Respected or Disrespected by 2 Candle Rejection (2CR)
Notifies you of every critical liquidity event:
New context leg
New FVG
IRL rejection
ERL or SP liquidity sweep
FVG is Respected or Disrespected by 2CR
Key Features
Automatic drawing of IRL, ERL, and SP levels
FVG types: Simple FVG or Breakaway Gap (BAG)
Multi-timeframe sweep check – if a single candle takes both IRL and ERL, the indicator zooms into a lower timeframe to confirm which liquidity was swept first
Fully customizable alerts for all liquidity events
Flexible settings for swing points, lookback depth, colors, and style
How to use
Start from the monthly chart to define the macro trend.
Analyze the latest order flow leg:
Bullish FVG = bullish context
Bearish FVG = bearish context
Step down to the daily timeframe and repeat the analysis.
Wait for price to approach or reject from IRL (the indicator highlights it automatically).
Drop to a lower timeframe for entries — use timeframe alignment to select the right LTF.
Enter with the FVG model, targeting liquidity within the leg.
Place take profit inside the context — e.g., never above ERL in a bullish setup.

QuantMotions - FVG with Volume TrackingFair Value Gap Detector with Dynamic Shrinking & Volume Analysis
Overview
Advanced Fair Value Gap (FVG) detection indicator with real-time box shrinking and volume delta analysis. Automatically identifies price inefficiencies and tracks institutional volume flow within each gap.
What are Fair Value Gaps?
Fair Value Gaps occur when price moves so rapidly that a "gap" is left between three consecutive candles, creating an inefficiency where no trading occurred. These gaps often act as support/resistance zones that price tends to revisit.
Detection:
- Bullish FVG: When low > high (upward price inefficiency)
- Bearish FVG: When high < low (downward price inefficiency)
Key Features
Dynamic Box Shrinking
FVG boxes automatically shrink as price enters them:
- Bullish FVGs shrink from top as price moves down into the gap
- Bearish FVGs shrink from bottom as price moves up into the gap
- Provides precise visualization of remaining unfilled gap area
Volume Delta Analysis
Tracks volume characteristics for the 3-candle FVG formation:
- Total Volume: Sum of volume from all three FVG candles
- Up/Down Split: Separates buying vs selling pressure
- Delta %: Shows directional bias of volume flow
- Color Coding: Green/Red when volume confirms direction, Orange when it doesn't
Smart Filtering
- ATR-based minimum gap size - Filters out insignificant noise gaps
- Auto-cleanup - Removes fully filled FVGs automatically
- Maximum display limit - Keeps charts clean by limiting visible FVGs
Live Statistics
Real-time stats table showing:
- Active bullish/bearish FVG count
- Average volume delta for each direction
- Fill progress tracking
Settings
Min Gap Size (ATR): Minimum gap size as multiple of ATR(14). Default: 0.3
- Lower values (0.1-0.3): More sensitive, shows smaller gaps
- Higher values (0.5-1.0): More selective, only significant gaps
Max FVGs: Maximum number of FVG boxes to display (5-100)
Remove Fully Filled: Automatically remove FVGs when price completely fills them
Shrink on Partial Fill: Enable dynamic box shrinking as price enters gaps
Show Volume Info: Display volume delta labels at box edges
How to Use
1. Confluence Trading: Look for FVGs that align with your support/resistance levels
2. Volume Confirmation: Check volume delta - strong directional volume increases probability
3. Partial Fills: Watch for price reactions at shrinking FVG boundaries
4. Multiple Timeframes: Use on higher timeframes (4H+) for swing trading, lower timeframes for scalping
Best Practices
- Combine with trend analysis - FVGs in trend direction have higher fill rates
- Pay attention to volume delta - gaps with confirming volume are more reliable
- Use on liquid markets for accurate volume data
- Higher timeframe FVGs typically carry more significance
Notes
- Works on all timeframes and instruments
- Volume data accuracy depends on your data provider
- FVGs are not guaranteed support/resistance - use proper risk management
- This indicator shows historical inefficiencies, not future predictions
Disclaimer: This indicator is for educational purposes only. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always use proper risk management.
ULTIMATE ORDER FLOW SYSTEM🔥 ULTIMATE ORDER FLOW SYSTEM

🔥 ULTIMATE ORDER FLOW SYSTEM
Overview
This comprehensive order flow analysis tool combines Volume Profile, Cumulative Delta, and Large Order Detection to identify high-probability trading setups. The script analyzes institutional order flow patterns and volume distribution to pinpoint key levels where price is likely to react.
________________________________________
📊 Core Components & Methodology
1. Volume Profile Analysis
The script constructs a horizontal volume profile by:
• Dividing the price range into configurable rows (default: 20)
• Accumulating volume at each price level over a lookback period (default: 50 bars)
• Separating buy volume (green bars close > open) from sell volume (red bars)
• Identifying three critical levels:
o POC (Point of Control): Price level with highest traded volume - acts as a strong magnet
o VAH/VAL (Value Area High/Low): Contains 70% of total volume - defines fair value zone
o HVN (High Volume Nodes): Resistance zones where institutions accumulated positions
o LVN (Low Volume Nodes): Thin zones that price moves through quickly - ideal targets
Why This Matters: Institutional traders leave footprints through volume. HVN zones show where large players defended levels, making them reliable support/resistance.
________________________________________
2. Cumulative Delta (Order Flow)
Tracks the running total of buying vs selling pressure:
• Bar Delta: Difference between buy and sell volume per candle
• Cumulative Delta: Sum of all bar deltas - shows net directional pressure
• Delta Moving Average: Smoothed delta (20-period) to identify trend
• Delta Divergences:
o Bullish: Price makes lower low, but delta makes higher low (absorption at bottom)
o Bearish: Price makes higher high, but delta makes lower high (exhaustion at top)
How It Works: When cumulative delta trends up while price consolidates, it signals accumulation. Delta divergences reveal when smart money is positioned opposite to retail expectations.
________________________________________
3. Large Order Detection
Identifies institutional-sized orders in real-time:
• Compares current bar volume to 20-period moving average
• Flags orders exceeding 2.5x average volume (configurable multiplier)
• Distinguishes bullish (green circles below) vs bearish (red circles above) large orders
Rationale: Sudden volume spikes at key levels indicate institutional participation - the "fuel" needed for breakouts or reversals.
________________________________________
🎯 Trading Signal Logic
Combined Setup Criteria

💡 How This Script Is Unique
Unlike standalone volume profile or delta indicators, this script:
1. Synthesizes three complementary methods - volume structure, order flow momentum, and liquidity detection
2. Requires multi-factor confirmation - signals only trigger when price, volume, and delta align at key zones
3. Adapts to market regime - delta filters ensure you're trading with the dominant order flow direction
4. Provides context, not just signals - the dashboard helps you understand why a setup is forming
________________________________________
⚙️ Best Practices
Timeframes:
• 5-15 min: Scalping (use 30-50 bar lookback)
• 1-4 hour: Swing trading (use 100-200 bar lookback)
Risk Management:
• Enter on signal candle close
• Stop loss: Beyond nearest HVN/LVN zone
• Target 1: Next LVN level
• Target 2: Opposite value area boundary
Filters:
• Avoid signals during major news events
• Require bar delta strength >65% for aggressive entries
• Wait for delta MA cross confirmation in ranging markets

Dynamic Swing Retracement TrackerThis indicator automatically identifies potential reversal zones within trending markets by combining momentum-based directional filters with geometric price swing analysis.
Methodology:
Directional Bias Filter: Utilizes two exponential moving averages (configurable periods, default 50 and 200) as a momentum comparison mechanism. When the faster average exceeds the slower average, bullish bias is established; the inverse confirms bearish bias.
Automated Swing Recognition: The script continuously scans for local price extremes using pivot analysis with a user-defined lookback window (default 36 bars). These extremes become anchor points for calculating potential retracement zones.
Geometric Retracement Zones: Between each pair of swing extremes, the script calculates key mathematical ratios (0.5 and 0.618) to identify zones where price is statistically likely to find support or resistance during pullbacks. These zones are used for signal generation but remain invisible on the chart.
Signal Generation Logic:
Long entry signals appear when price retraces into calculated zones during bullish bias conditions
Short entry signals appear when price retraces into zones during bearish bias conditions
All signals require full candle confirmation to eliminate intra-bar noise
A customizable cooldown mechanism prevents signal clustering
Automated Risk Visualization:
Invalidation level (traditionally called "stop loss") placed beyond the most recent swing extreme, with adjustable pip buffer for spread accommodation
Three progressive target zones calculated using geometric extensions (1.618x, 2.0x, and 2.618x multiples of the original swing range)
All price levels displayed as horizontal reference lines spanning 20 bars (10 before, 10 after the signal candle
Technical Implementation:
Swing detection uses TradingView's built-in pivot functions with symmetric lookback
Retracement calculations based on classical golden ratio mathematics
Label positioning dynamically adjusts using Average True Range to maintain visibility across different volatility conditions
All drawing objects are refreshed on each bar to comply with platform object limits
Practical Application:
This tool is designed for traders who want to systematically identify counter-trend entries within established trends. Rather than manually drawing retracement levels, the indicator automates the process and provides immediate visual feedback on potential entry zones with pre-calculated risk and reward parameters.
Customization Options:
Momentum filter periods (default 50/200)
Swing detection sensitivity
Signal spacing controls
Risk buffer adjustment
Individual component visibility toggles
Important Notes:
This indicator does not predict future price movements. It identifies historical swing patterns and mathematically-derived levels based on past price action. All trading decisions should be made in conjunction with proper risk management and market analysis.

Inversion Fair Value Gap Model [PJ Trades]GENERAL OVERVIEW:
The Inversion Fair Value Gap Model indicator is a complete rule-based system designed to identify trade setups using the Inversion Fair Value Gap strategy taught by PJ Trades. It automates the strategy’s workflow by detecting liquidity sweeps, confirming V-shape recoveries, identifying valid Inversion Fair Value Gaps, validating higher-timeframe Fair Value Gap taps, and checking for a clear opposite Draw On Liquidity. These factors are evaluated together to produce a signal rating of A, A+, or A++, based on how many of these criteria the setup satisfies. When a long or short setup is confirmed, the indicator automatically plots an entry, stop-loss, break-even, and two take-profit levels.
A dashboard that updates in real-time displays the current directional bias, liquidity sweep activity, Inversion Fair Value Gap confirmation state, V Shape Recovery state, higher-timeframe Fair Value Gap context, opposite Draw on Liquidity, SMT divergence, and other key information relevant to the trading model. The indicator also includes optional trade statistics on the dashboard that tracks the recent win rates for A, A+, and A++ setups, as well as separate long and short win rates.
This indicator was developed by Flux Charts, in collaboration with PJ Trades.
What is the theory behind the indicator?:
The Inversion Fair Value Gap model is built on the idea that when the market pushes above a high or below a low, it often does so to sweep liquidity. If that move quickly fails and price reverses, it shows the sweep was a grab for orders and not a continuation. That quick rejection is the V Shape Recovery behavior. An Inversion Fair Value Gap forms when a Fair Value Gap that once supported the original move gets invalidated afterward. That invalidation confirms the shift in direction and becomes the new reference point for trades. The Inversion Fair Value Gap model uses this sequence because it highlights when the market has taken liquidity, rejected continuation, and started delivering in the opposite direction.

SESSIONS:
The Inversion Fair Value Gap Model indicator includes five trading sessions (times in EST):
Asia: 20:00 - 00:00
London: 02:00 - 05:00
NY AM: 09:30 - 12:15
NY Lunch: 12:15 - 13:30
NY PM: 13:30 - 16:00
Session highs and lows are automatically tracked and used within the indicator’s signal logic.
🔹Session Zones:
Each session has a zone that outlines its active time window. These zones can be toggled on or off independently. When active, they visually separate each part of the trading day. Users can adjust the color and opacity of each session box. Users can also enable session labels, which place a label above each session zone showing its corresponding session name.
🔹Session Time:
Users can toggle on ‘Time’ which will display each session’s time window next to its session title.
🔹Session Highs/Lows:
Every session can display its own high and low as horizontal lines. Users can customize the line style for session highs/lows, choosing between solid, dashed, or dotted. The color of the lines will match the same color used for the session box. Users can adjust the color of the labels as well, which is applied to all session high/low labels.
When price has moved above a session high, or below a session low, the label will not be displayed anymore.
🔹Extend Levels:
When enabled, each session’s high and low levels can be extended forward by a set number of bars.
Please Note: Disabling a session under the main Sessions section only hides its visuals (boxes, lines, or labels). It does not impact signal detection or logic.
KEY LEVELS:
The Inversion Fair Value Gap Model indicator includes 11 key market levels that outline important structural price areas across daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes. These levels include the Daily Open, Previous Day High/Low, Weekly Open, Previous Week High/Low, Monthly Open, Previous Month High/Low, Midnight Open, and 08:30 Open. The levels can be enabled or disabled and customized in color and line style. All of the levels except the Midnight Open and 08:30 Open are used for the indicator’s signal logic.
🔹Daily Open
The Daily Open marks where the current trading day began.
🔹Previous Day High/Low
The Previous Day High (PDH) marks the highest price reached during the previous regular trading session. It shows where buyers pushed price to its highest point before the market closed.
The Previous Day Low (PDL) marks the lowest price reached during the previous regular trading session. It shows where selling pressure reached its lowest point before buyers stepped in.
When price pushes above the PDH or below the PDL, the level is removed from the chart.
🔹Weekly Open
The Weekly Open marks the first price of the current trading week.
🔹Previous Week High/Low
The Previous Week High (PWH) marks the highest price reached during the previous trading week. It shows where buying pressure reached its peak before the weekly close.
The Previous Week Low (PWL) marks the lowest price reached during the previous trading week. It shows where sellers pushed price to its lowest point before buyers regained control.
When price pushes above the PWH or below the PWL, the level is removed from the chart.
🔹Monthly Open
The Monthly Open marks the opening price of the current month.
🔹Previous Month High/Low
The Previous Month High (PMH) marks the highest price reached during the previous calendar month. It represents the point at which buyers achieved the strongest push before the monthly close.
The Previous Month Low (PML) marks the lowest price reached during the previous calendar month. It shows where selling pressure was strongest before buyers stepped back in.
When price pushes above the PMH or below the PML, the level is removed from the chart.
🔹Midnight Open
The Midnight Open marks the first price of the trading day at 00:00 EST.
🔹08:30 Open
The 08:30 Open marks the opening price at 08:30 EST.
🔹Customization Options:
Users can fully customize the appearance of all key levels, including the following:
Labels
Label Size
Line Style

Daily Open, Previous Day High, Previous Day Low
Weekly Open, Previous Week High, Previous Week Low,
Monthly Open, Previous Month High, Previous Month Low
Midnight Open
08:30 Open
🔹Extend Levels:
When enabled, each key level is extended forward by a set number of bars.
Please Note: Disabling a level in the “Key Levels” section only hides its visuals and does not affect the indicator’s signals.
🔹Swing Levels
The indicator automatically plots Swing Highs and Swing Lows which are used in the indicator’s signal generation logic.
A swing high forms when a candle’s high is greater than the highs of the bars immediately before and after it.
A swing low forms when a candle’s low is lower than the lows of the bars immediately before and after it.
🔹Swing Level Colors
Users can customize the color of Active Levels and Swept Levels.
Active Levels are levels that price has not pushed above or below
Swept Levels are levels that price pushed above or below.
🔹Swing Levels – Show Nearest
This setting determines how many swing highs/lows are displayed on the chart. The indicator will display the nearest X highs to price and the nearest X lows to price.
For example, if ‘Show Nearest’ is set to 2, the nearest 2 swing highs and nearest 2 swing lows to price will be plotted on the chart.
LIQUIDITY LEVELS:
The Inversion Fair Value Gap Model indicator automatically identifies and plots liquidity at key structural points in the market. These include swing highs and swing lows, session highs and lows, and major higher timeframe reference points as explained in the SESSIONS and KEY LEVELS sections above. All of these areas are treated as potential pools of resting orders and are used throughout the indicator’s signal logic.
🔹What is Buyside Liquidity?:
Buyside Liquidity (BSL) represents price levels where many buy stop orders are sitting, usually from traders holding short positions. When price moves into these areas, those stop-loss orders get triggered and short sellers are forced to buy back their positions. These zones often form above key highs such as the previous day, week, or month. Understanding BSL is important because when price reaches these levels, the sudden wave of buy orders can create sharp reactions or reversals as liquidity is taken from the market.
🔹What is Sellside Liquidity?:
Sellside Liquidity (SSL) represents price levels where many sell stop orders are waiting, usually from traders holding long positions. When price drops into these areas, those stop-loss orders are triggered and long traders are forced to sell their positions. These zones often form below key lows such as the previous day, week, or month. Understanding SSL is important because when price reaches these levels, the surge of sell orders can cause sharp reactions or reversals as liquidity is taken from the market.
🔹 Which Liquidity Levels Are Used
The indicator tracks liquidity at the following areas:
Asia Session High/Low
London High/Low
NY AM High/Low
NY Lunch High/Low
NY PM High/Low
Previous Day High and Low
Previous Week High and Low
Previous Month High and Low
Daily Open
Weekly Open
Monthly Open
Swing Highs/Lows
🔹 How Liquidity Levels Are Used
All tracked levels across sessions, swing points, and higher timeframes serve as potential liquidity targets. When price trades above one of these highs, the indicator looks for short setups if other confluences align. When price trades below lows, the indicator looks for long setups if other confluences align.
LIQUIDITY SWEEPS:
The indicator automatically detects Buyside Liquidity and Sellside Liquidity sweeps using the liquidity levels mentioned in the previous section.
🔹What is a Liquidity Sweep?
Liquidity sweeps occur when price trades beyond a key high or low and activates resting buy-stop or sell-stop orders in that area. It’s how the market gathers the liquidity needed for larger participants to enter positions.
Traders often place stop-loss orders around obvious highs and lows, such as the previous day’s, week’s, or month’s levels. When price pushes through one of these areas, it triggers the stops placed there and generates a burst of volume. This can lead to quick movements in price as those orders are executed.
🔹Sellside Liquidity Sweep
These occur when price dips below a Sellside Liquidity (SSL) level, taking out the stop-loss orders placed by long traders below that low. When this happens, the indicator records the sweep and begins monitoring for potential long setups as the next step in the IFVG trading strategy. Long trades are only eligible after a SSL sweep.
🔹Buyside Liquidity Sweep
These occur when price dips above a Buyside Liquidity (BSL) level, taking out the stop-loss orders placed by short seller traders above that high. When this happens, the indicator records the sweep and begins monitoring for potential short setups as the next step in the trading strategy. Short trades are only eligible after a BSL sweep.
🔹How to Use Liquidity Sweeps
Liquidity sweeps are not direct trade signals. They are best used as context when forming a directional bias. A sweep shows that the market has removed liquidity from one side, which can hint at where the next move may develop.
For example:
When BSL is swept, it often signals that buy stops have been triggered and the market may be preparing to move lower. Traders may then begin looking for short opportunities.
When SSL is swept, it often signals that sell stops have been triggered and the market may be preparing to move higher. Traders may then begin looking for long opportunities.
V SHAPE RECOVERIES:
🔹 What Is a V Shape Recovery?
A V shape recovery is a sharp, immediate reversal that happens right after price sweeps BSL or SSL. It indicates that price quickly moved back in the opposite direction after trading through the level. This behavior signals a shift in momentum and is a required confirmation in the indicator for signal generation. The indicator will not look for long trades after a SSL sweep unless a V shape recovery occurs. It will not look for short trades after a BSL sweep unless a V shape recovery occurs. Without this behavior, the indicator assumes that price may still be delivering in the direction of the sweep, so no valid setups can form.
🔹 Why V Shape Recoveries Matter
V shape recoveries help confirm that the liquidity the sweep did not immediately continue in the same direction. They separate false breaks from true continuation. A sweep without recovery often means price may keep trending, so the indicator does not generate signals in those cases. A sweep with a V shape recovery confirms rejection and sets the foundation for valid Inversion Fair Value Gap formation. This makes the V shape recovery one of the most important sequence steps in the Inversion Fair Value Gap Model.
🔹 How the Indicator Detects V Shape Recoveries
V shape recoveries can be visually intuitive when looking at a chart, but they are difficult to define consistently programmatically. To ensure reliable and repeatable detection, the indicator uses a rules-based method that evaluates candle size, candle direction, and the strength of the move immediately following the liquidity sweep. This approach removes subjectivity and allows the indicator to confirm V shape behavior the same way every time.
The indicator does not plot any visual elements specifically for V shape recoveries. Instead, the presence of a V shape recovery is implied through the signals themselves. Every valid long or short signal that appears after a liquidity sweep requires a confirmed V shape recovery. This means that if a signal is generated following a sweep, a V shape recovery has occurred.
🔹 V Shape Recovery After a Sellside Sweep (SSL Sweep)
After price trades below a sellside liquidity level, long positions are liquidated. If buyers quickly step in and force price upward with strong momentum, this forms a V shape recovery. This signals that the sweep below the low was rejected and that buyers have reclaimed control. When this occurs, the indicator begins monitoring for long setups.
🔹 V Shape Recovery After a Buyside Sweep (BSL Sweep)
After price pushes above a buyside liquidity level, many short positions are stopped out. If sellers immediately step in and drive price back down with strong movement, this forms a V shape recovery. This behavior reflects a quick change in candle direction immediately following the sweep. When this occurs, the indicator begins monitoring for short setups.
🔹Failed V Shape Recoveries
These examples show failed V shape recoveries, where price did not reverse decisively after the BSL or SSL sweep. The lack of strong response from buyers or sellers indicates that momentum did not shift. Thus, the indicator will not detect valid long/short setups using these liquidity sweeps.
HIGHER-TIMEFRAME FAIR VALUE GAPS:
Higher-timeframe Fair Value Gaps (HTF FVGs) provide important context in the Inversion Fair Value Gap Model because they show where significant imbalance occurred on larger market structures. The indicator automatically detects HTF FVGs and uses them as part of the signal rating system.
🔹 What Is a Fair Value Gap?
A Fair Value Gap (FVG) is an area where the market’s perception of fair value suddenly changes. On your chart, it appears as a three-candle pattern: a large candle in the middle, with smaller candles on each side that don’t fully overlap it.
A bullish FVG forms when a bullish candle is between two smaller bullish/bearish candles, where the first and third candles’ wicks don’t overlap each other at all.
A bearish FVG forms when a bearish candle is between two smaller bullish/bearish candles, where the first and third candles’ wicks don’t overlap each other at all.
This creates an imbalance because price moved so quickly that one side of the auction did not trade.
Examples:
🔹 What Makes an FVG “Higher-Timeframe”?
In this indicator, HTF FVGs are Fair Value Gaps detected on timeframes higher than the chart’s current timeframe. For example, on a 5-minute chart, a 1-hour FVG would be considered a HTF FVG. The indicator automatically plots and checks whether price interacts with these HTF FVGs during a liquidity sweep and incorporates this into the signal rating (A, A+, A++).
🔹 How the Indicator Uses Higher-Timeframe FVGs
The indicator automatically scans up to three user-selected higher timeframes for valid bullish and bearish FVGs and tracks price’s behavior around them in the background. When any of these higher timeframes are enabled, their FVGs are used directly within the signal logic.
During a liquidity sweep, the indicator checks whether price taps into any enabled HTF FVG. A tap occurs when price trades inside the boundaries of a higher-timeframe FVG during or immediately after the sweep.
A bullish HTF FVG tap during a sellside sweep supports a long setup.
A bearish HTF FVG tap during a buyside sweep supports a short setup.
When an HTF FVG tap aligns with the direction of the setup, the signal’s rating is increased. This can increase a setup’s rating from A to A+ or from A+ to A++.
🔹 Higher-Timeframe FVG Customization
Users can select up to three higher timeframes for HTF FVG detection. When a higher timeframe is enabled, its FVGs are used in the model’s signal logic. Users can also choose whether to display these HTF FVGs visually on the chart, by enabling the ‘Plot HTF FVGs’ setting.
Each enabled HTF FVG can be customized with the following options:
Bullish and Bearish Colors: Users can set different fill colors for bullish and bearish HTF FVGs for each selected timeframe.
Midline: When enabled, a midline is drawn through the center of each HTF FVG. Users can customize the midline’s line style, choosing between solid, dashed, or dotted and also customize the midline’s color.
Labels: When enabled, each plotted HTF FVG displays a label that shows its originating timeframe (for example, 1H, 4H).
Plot HTF FVGs: When disabled, the HTF FVG zones are hidden from the chart while the logic remains active in the background for signals.
Show Nearest:
This setting controls how many HTF FVGs are displayed based on proximity to current price. Users can choose to show the nearest X bullish HTF FVGs and the nearest X bearish HTF FVGs. This filter is applied across all enabled higher timeframes and does not limit by timeframe individually.
🔹When are Higher Timeframe Fair Value Gaps mitigated?
A Higher Timeframe Fair Value Gap is considered mitigated when a candle from the chart’s timeframe closes above the gap for a bearish FVG or below the gap for a bullish FVG.
INVERSION FAIR VALUE GAPS:
Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVGs) are a core requirement of the Inversion Fair Value Gap Model. Every long and short signal generated by the indicator requires a valid IFVG, just like liquidity sweeps and V shape recoveries. Without a confirmed IFVG, the model will not produce a setup.
🔹 What Is an Inversion Fair Value Gap?
An Inversion Fair Value Gap is a Fair Value Gap that becomes invalidated by a candle close in the opposite direction. This “flip” confirms that the original imbalance failed and that the market has shifted.
A bullish IFVG forms when a bearish FVG is invalidated by a candle closing above it.
A bearish IFVG forms when a bullish FVG is invalidated by a candle closing below it.
In the indicator, IFVGs are not used as retracement areas. Signals are generated immediately when a valid IFVG forms, not after price returns to the gap. The IFVG itself is the confirmation event that finalizes a setup sequence after a liquidity sweep and V shape recovery.
🔹 How the Indicator Plots IFVGs
The indicator only plots IFVGs that are used in long or short setups. Not every possible IFVG is shown on the chart. Only the IFVG involved in a confirmed signal is displayed. Users can disable IFVG plots entirely if they prefer a minimal view. This hides the visual gaps but does not affect the signal logic.
🔹 Customization Options
Users can customize how IFVGs appear on the chart:
Color Settings: Choose separate fill colors for bullish IFVGs and bearish IFVGs.
Midline: Toggle an optional midline inside the IFVG and choose between a solid, dashed, or dotted line.
Midline Color: Adjust the color of the IFVG Midline.
MACROS:
Macros are short, predefined time windows, where price is more likely to seek liquidity or rebalance imbalances. These periods often create sharp movements or shifts in delivery, giving additional context to setups. In the Inversion Fair Value Gap Model, macros are used as a confluence factor. When a long or short signal forms during a macro time window, the setup’s rating can increase from A to A+ or from A+ to A++.
Macros are not required for a signal to form, but they increase the signal’s rating when the setup aligns with macro timing.
🔹 How the Indicator Uses Macros
The indicator allows users to enable up to five macros. Each macro has its own start and end time, which the user can customize. These time windows are used directly in the signal logic. If a valid IFVG setup forms while price is inside any of the enabled macro windows, the indicator increases the signal’s rating.
Users may visually disable macros on the chart without affecting signal logic. Disabling visuals hides the macro zones, labels, and lines, but the underlying macro logic continues to function in the background for signals.
The indicator’s default macros use the following time periods (in EST):
09:50 - 10:10
10:50 - 11:10
11:50 - 12:10
12:50 - 13:10
13:50 - 14:10
🔹 Macro Settings
Each macro displays a shaded zone representing the active time window. This zone can be toggled on or off. Users can customize:
The color of each macro zone
The opacity of each zone
Whether the zones display at all (‘Show Zones’)
These visuals help identify whether price is currently inside a macro window.
🔹 Macro Labels:
Users can enable macro labels, which place a text label showing the macro’s title and its time window. The label color is global (applies to all macros), and the label size can be adjusted. Individual macros cannot have unique label colors.
🔹 Macro Start/End Lines
For additional clarity, the indicator draws two vertical markers for each macro:
One at the start of the macro
One at the end of the macro
A horizontal macro line is then drawn between the highs of these two candles to highlight the full duration of the macro window. Users can customize:
The line styles (solid, dashed, dotted) of the Macro Line and Start/End Lines
BIAS:
Bias determines which direction the indicator is allowed to generate signals. A bullish bias means only long setups can be confirmed. A bearish bias means only short setups can be confirmed. The bias acts as the final directional filter after a liquidity sweep, V shape recovery, and IFVG have all been validated. Even if all model conditions are met, the indicator will only confirm the setup if the direction aligns with the active bias.
Users are able to manually set a bias or use an automatic bias filter, which is explained below.
🔹 Manual Bias
Users can manually choose the directional bias at any time and choose between Bullish, Bearish, or Both.
When set to Bullish, the indicator will only confirm long setups, regardless of market structure.
When set to Bearish, only short setups are allowed.
When set to Both, the indicator can confirm both long and short setups if all requirements are met.
🔹 Automatic Bias
Automatic bias is fully rules-based and determined by how the previous session interacted with major draw-on-liquidity (DOL) levels. These levels include 1-hour highs and lows, 4-hour highs and lows, previous session highs and lows (such as Asia or London), and the previous day’s high and low. The indicator evaluates whether the previous session consolidated, manipulated liquidity, or manipulated and reversed before closing. Based on this behavior, the indicator establishes a directional bias for the current session.
◇ Previous Session Consolidation:
If the previous session did not sweep any major liquidity levels and price remained inside its range, the session is classified as consolidation.
After the current session sweeps a key low, the bias becomes bullish.
After the current session sweeps a key high, the bias becomes bearish.
The bias is determined live based on which side the current session manipulates first.
◇ Previous Session Manipulation (No Reversal):
If the previous session swept a major high-timeframe level but did not reverse before the session closed, the model assigns a reversal-based bias at the start of the current session.
If the previous session swept a low, the current session bias is bullish.
If the previous session swept a high, the current session bias is bearish.
Here, bias is determined immediately because the previous session’s manipulation defines the directional framework for the current session.
◇ Previous Session Manipulation + Reversal:
If the previous session swept a DOL level and also reversed away from it within the same session, the model assigns a continuation-based bias at the start of the current session.
If the previous session swept a low and reversed upward, the bias for the current session is bullish.
If the previous session swept a high and reversed downward, the bias is bearish.
🔹 How the Indicator Uses Bias in Practice
After the indicator validates the liquidity sweep, V shape recovery, and IFVG, it checks the active bias before confirming a signal.
If bias is bullish, only long setups are allowed.
If bias is bearish, only short setups are allowed.
If bias is Both, setups of either direction may form.
The bias does not influence the detection of liquidity sweeps, V shape recoveries, or IFVGs. It only determines whether those validated components are allowed to produce a final signal. Automatic bias updates based on session behavior, while manual bias remains fixed until the user changes it.
SIGNALS:
Signals are the final output of the Inversion Fair Value Gap Model indicator. A signal is only generated when all model conditions are satisfied in a clear, rules-based sequence.
A signal consists of:
An Entry
A Stop-Loss (SL)
A Breakeven (BE) level
Two Take-Profit levels (TP1 and TP2)
These components are plotted immediately once the final requirement (the IFVG confirmation) is met and the directional filter (bias) allows the setup.
Signals can be rated A, A+, or A++, based on whether certain confluences were present during the setup’s formation.
🔹 What All Signals Have in Common
Each signal type (A, A+, A++) requires the same four mandatory conditions. If any of these four are missing, the indicator will not print a signal.
◇ Required Component #1 – Valid Directional Bias
The bias determines whether the indicator can confirm a long or short setup.
Bullish bias → only long setups allowed
Bearish bias → only short setups allowed
Both → long or short setups allowed
Automatic bias → bias determined by session-based liquidity logic explained above
◇ Required Component #2 – Liquidity Sweep
The indicator must detect one of the following:
Sellside Liquidity Sweep (SSL Sweep) for potential long setups
Buyside Liquidity Sweep (BSL Sweep) for potential short setups
◇ Required Component #3 – V Shape Recovery
After a liquidity sweep, the indicator evaluates whether price produced a valid V shape recovery.
◇ Required Component #4 – Inversion Fair Value Gap (IFVG)
An IFVG must form in the direction of the potential setup.
A bullish IFVG forms when a bearish FVG is invalidated by a candle closing above that gap
A bearish IFVG forms when a bullish FVG is invalidated by a candle closing below that gap
The IFVG must occur after the V Shape Recovery and Liquidity Sweep. The IFVG confirmation is the final structural requirement. Once it forms, the setup is considered structurally complete.
🔹 A Signals
An A-rated signal contains exactly the four required components:
Valid Bias
Liquidity Sweep
V Shape Recovery
IFVG
An A signals represent the foundational implementation of the IFVG Model.
🔹 A+ Signals
An A+ signal includes the full A-signal structure plus ONE of the following:
Higher-Timeframe FVG Tap
Multi-Liquidity Sweep
Inside a Macro Window
◇ Higher-Timeframe FVG Tap
During a liquidity sweep, the indicator checks whether price taps into any enabled HTF FVG. A tap occurs when price trades inside the boundaries of a higher-timeframe FVG during or immediately after the sweep.
A bullish HTF FVG tap during a sellside sweep supports a long setup.
A bearish HTF FVG tap during a buyside sweep supports a short setup.
◇ Multi-Liquidity Sweep
A Multi-Liquidity Sweep occurs when price sweeps two liquidity levels of the same type in the same directional push.
Sweeping two lows in one move: Multi-Sellside Liquidity Sweep (long setups).
Sweeping two highs in one move → Multi-Buyside Liquidity Sweep (short setups).
◇ Inside a Macro Window
The final IFVG confirmation must occur inside a macro time window defined by the user.
If exactly one of these additional confluences is present, the signal rating is A+.
🔹 A++ Signals (Two Additional Confluences)
An A++ signal contains the full A signal structure plus TWO of the three confluences listed above.
HTF FVG tap + Multi-Liquidity Sweep
HTF FVG tap + Inside a Macro Window
Multi-Liquidity Sweep + Inside a Macro Window
If two confluences are present, the rating becomes A++. If all three are present, the setup is still rated a A++ (there is no A+++).
🔹 Signal Plots
When a valid long/short setup is detected, a signal with its rating appears with the following:
Entry: At the close of the candle that inverted a FVG
Stop-Loss: At the nearest swing high for short setups or nearest swing low for long setups
Breakeven Level: At the nearest swing high for long setups or the nearest swing low for short setups
Take-Profit 1: At the second nearest swing high for long setups or the second nearest swing low for short setups.
Take-Profit 2: At the third nearest swing high for long setups or the third nearest swing low for short setups.
After a signal reaches either TP2 or SL, the levels for Entry, SL, BE, TP1, and TP2 are removed from the chart. If another signal appears before the prior signal reaches either TP2 or SL, the levels are also removed.
Users can hover over any signal label to view a short summary of the exact criteria that were met for that setup. This includes whether a HTF FVG tap occurred, whether a multi-liquidity sweep was detected, whether the setup formed inside a macro window, and which liquidity level was swept prior to the V shape recovery.
🔹 Long Setup – A Rating
A long A-rated setup forms when all four core requirements of the IFVG Model occur without any additional confluences. First, price must sweep a Sellside Liquidity level. Immediately after the sweep, price must form a valid V shape recovery. Once the recovery completes, a bullish IFVG must form by invalidating a bearish Fair Value Gap with a candle close above it.
For a confirmed long signal, the indicator marks:
Entry: At the candle close that invalidates the bearish FVG and creates the IFVG
Stop Loss: At the nearest swing low
Breakeven: Midpoint between entry and stop-loss
Take Profit 1: At the second nearest swing high
Take Profit 2: At the third nearest swing high
In this example, price sweeps a swing low, has a V Shape recovery, and forms a bullish IFVG:
🔹 Short Setup – A Rating
A short A-rated setup forms when all four core requirements of the IFVG Model occur without any additional confluences. Price must first sweep a Buyside Liquidity level. Immediately after the sweep, price must form a valid V shape recovery. Once the recovery completes, a bearish IFVG must form by invalidating a bullish Fair Value Gap with a candle close below it.
For a confirmed short signal, the indicator marks:
Entry: At the candle close that invalidates the bullish FVG and creates the IFVG
Stop Loss: At the nearest swing high
Breakeven: Midpoint between entry and stop-loss
Take Profit 1: At the second nearest swing low
Take Profit 2: At the third nearest swing low
In this example, price sweeps a swing high, has a V shape recovery, and forms a bearish IFVG:
🔹 Long Setup – A+ Rating
A long A+ setup forms when the four core requirements of the IFVG Model occur and exactly one additional confluence is present. Price must sweep a Sellside Liquidity level, form a valid V shape recovery, and create a bullish IFVG by invalidating a bearish FVG. One of the following must also occur: a bullish HTF FVG tap during the liquidity sweep, a multi-sellside liquidity sweep, or the IFVG confirmation forms inside a macro window.
For a confirmed long A+ signal, the indicator marks:
Entry: At the candle close that creates the bullish IFVG
Stop Loss: At the nearest swing low
Breakeven: Midpoint between entry and stop-loss
Take Profit 1: At the second nearest swing high
Take Profit 2: At the third nearest swing high
In this example, price sweeps the NY AM Session Low, taps a 30-minute HTF FVG during the sweep, has a V shape recovery, and forms a bullish IFVG:
🔹 Short Setup – A+ Rating
A short A+ setup forms when the four core requirements of the IFVG Model occur and exactly one additional confluence is present. Price must sweep a Buyside Liquidity level, form a valid V shape recovery, and create a bearish IFVG by invalidating a bullish FVG. One of the following must also occur: a bearish HTF FVG tap, a multi-buyside liquidity sweep, or the IFVG confirmation forms inside a macro window.
For a confirmed short A+ signal, the indicator marks:
Entry: At the candle close that creates the bearish IFVG
Stop Loss: At the nearest swing high
Breakeven: Midpoint between entry and stop-loss
Take Profit 1: At the second nearest swing low
Take Profit 2: At the third nearest swing low
In this example, price sweeps a swing high, has a V shape recovery, and forms a bearish IFVG inside of the 13:50-14:10 macro:
🔹 Long Setup – A++ Rating
A long A++ setup forms when the four core requirements of the IFVG Model occur and at least two additional confluences are present. Price must sweep a Sellside Liquidity level, form a valid V shape recovery, and create a bullish IFVG. The setup must also include any two or three of the following: a bullish HTF FVG tap, a multi-sellside liquidity sweep, or the IFVG confirmation forming inside a macro window.
For a confirmed long A++ signal, the indicator marks:
Entry: At the candle close that creates the bullish IFVG
Stop Loss: At the nearest swing low
Breakeven: Midpoint between entry and stop-loss
Take Profit 1: At the second nearest swing high
Take Profit 2: At the third nearest swing high
In this example, price sweeps two swing lows, has a V shape recovery, taps a bullish 30-minute HTF FVG during the liquidity sweep, and forms a bullish IFVG inside of the 10:50-11:10 macro:
🔹 Short Setup – A++ Rating
A short A++ setup forms when the four core requirements of the IFVG Model occur and at least two additional confluences are present. Price must sweep a Buyside Liquidity level, form a valid V shape recovery, and create a bearish IFVG. The setup must also include any two or three of the following: a bearish HTF FVG tap, a multi-buyside liquidity sweep, or the IFVG confirmation forming inside a macro window.
For a confirmed short A++ signal, the indicator marks:
Entry: At the candle close that creates the bearish IFVG
Stop Loss: At the nearest swing high
Breakeven: Midpoint between entry and stop-loss
Take Profit 1: At the second nearest swing low
Take Profit 2: At the third nearest swing low
In this example, price sweeps a swing high, has a V shape recovery, taps a bearish 30-minute HTF FVG during the liquidity sweep, and forms a bearish IFVG inside of the 09:50-10:10 macro:
🔹Signal Settings
◇ Liquidity Levels Used:
Users can select which type of liquidity levels the indicator uses for identifying liquidity sweeps:
Swing Points: Only uses Swing Highs/Lows
Session Highs/Lows: Only uses Session Highs/Lows
Both: Uses both Swing Highs/Lows and Session Highs/Lows
◇ Bias:
This setting determines which signal directions are allowed.
Manual Bias: Users can manually choose the directional bias, picking between Bullish, Bearish, or Both.
Automatic Bias: The indicator automatically determines a directional bias based on the criteria mentioned in the previous Bias section.
◇ IFVG Sensitivity:
This setting determines the minimum gap size required for an FVG to qualify as an Inversion FVG.
Higher values: only larger FVGs become IFVGs
Lower values: smaller gaps are allowed
◇ Use First Presented IFVG:
This setting determines whether the indicator limits signals to only the first IFVG created within the manipulation leg.
What Is the First Presented IFVG?
It is the earliest FVG formed inside the displacement that causes the liquidity sweep.
For a bearish manipulation leg (price moving downward into the sweep), the first presented IFVG is the first FVG created at the start of that downward move:
For a bullish manipulation leg (price moving upward into the sweep), the first presented IFVG is the first FVG created at the start of that upward move:
When this setting is enabled, the indicator will only confirm signals when the IFVG used is derived from this first presented FVG. IFVGs that form later in the manipulation leg are not used for signal generation.
◇ Only Take Trades:
This setting allows users to restrict signals to a defined time window.
If a complete setup occurs inside the time window, it is allowed and plotted
If it occurs outside the window, the signal will not appear
For example, if you only wanted to see long/short signals between 9:30 AM and 12:00 PM, you would enable this setting and set the time window from 09:30 - 12:00.
◇ Minimum R:R
This setting allows users to require a minimum risk-to-reward ratio before a signal is confirmed and plotted on the chart. The risk-to-reward ratio is calculated using the distance from the Entry to the Stop-Loss (risk) and the distance from the Entry to TP2 (reward). The indicator compares these distances and determines whether the setup meets or exceeds the minimum R:R value selected by the user.
If the calculated R:R is equal to or greater than the chosen threshold, the signal will be displayed.
If the calculated R:R is lower than the threshold, the signal will not appear on the chart.
🔹 Signal Rating Minimum
Users can restrict which signal ratings appear:
A: shows all signals
A+: shows only A+ and A++
A++: shows only A++ setups
🔹 Signal Styling and Customization
The indicator provides full control over how signal labels and levels appear on your chart. Users can customize long signals, short signals, all plotted lines, and the visibility of every individual element.
◇ Long Signal Styling
Users can customize:
Long Signal Label Color

Entry
Stop loss
Breakeven
Take Profit 1 & 2
NEW DAY OPENING GAP:
The New Day Opening Gap (NDOG) highlights the price difference between the previous day’s closing candle and the first candle of the new trading day. The indicator tracks this gap automatically each day and makes it available as optional context for users.
🔹 What Is the New Day Opening Gap?
A New Day Opening Gap forms when the trading day opens at a price different from the previous day’s final closing price.
If the new day opens above the prior day’s close → Bullish NDOG
If the new day opens below the prior day’s close → Bearish NDOG
This gap acts as a short-term draw on liquidity because the market may revisit the gap to rebalance price delivery. While the NDOG is not a required component for IFVG signals.
🔹 How the Indicator Uses the New Day Opening Gap
When enabled, the indicator plots the gap as a rectangular zone spanning from the previous day’s close to the new day’s open. The zone remains active until it is fully filled by price or until the next day’s opening gap forms. Once price trades through the entire gap, or once a new NDOG replaces it the following day, the zone becomes inactive and is removed from the chart. The indicator does not use the NDOG for signal generation. It is strictly a visual tool that helps traders identify areas where price may retrace or seek liquidity during the session.
🔹 Customization Options
Users have full control over how the New Day Opening Gap displays on the chart:
Show New Day Opening Gap: Toggle the NDOG zone on or off
Bullish NDOG Color: Customize the fill color for gaps formed above the prior close
Bearish NDOG Color: Customize the fill color for gaps formed below the prior close
NEW WEEK OPENING GAP:
The New Week Opening Gap (NWOG) highlights the price difference between the previous week’s final closing candle and the first candle of the new trading week. The indicator tracks this gap automatically each week and provides it as optional context for users.
🔹 What Is the New Week Opening Gap?
A New Week Opening Gap forms when the new trading week opens at a price different from the previous week’s closing price.
If the new week opens above the prior week’s close → Bullish NWOG
If the new week opens below the prior week’s close → Bearish NWOG
This gap often serves as a medium-term draw on liquidity because price may return to rebalance the weekly displacement. The NWOG is not a required component for IFVG signals.
🔹 How the Indicator Uses the New Week Opening Gap
When enabled, the indicator plots the gap as a rectangular zone spanning from the previous week’s close to the new week’s open. The zone remains active until it is fully filled by price or until the next week’s opening gap forms. Once price trades through the entire gap, or once a new NWOG replaces it the following week, the zone becomes inactive and is removed from the chart. The indicator does not use the NWOG for signal generation. It is purely a visual reference to help traders identify areas where price may rebalance or seek liquidity during the week.
🔹 Customization Options
Users have full control over how the New Week Opening Gap displays on the chart:
Show New Week Opening Gap: Toggle the NWOG zone on or off
Bullish NWOG Color: Set the fill color for gaps formed above the prior weekly close
Bearish NWOG Color: Set the fill color for gaps formed below the prior weekly close
SMT DIVERGENCES:
The indicator automatically marks SMT Divergences that occur between the current selected chart ticker and a second user-selected ticker.
A SMT Divergence forms when the prices of the currently selected chart ticker and the user-selected ticker don’t follow each other. For example, if the current chart’s ticker symbol is SEED_ALEXDRAYM_SHORTINTEREST2:NQ and the user-selected ticker is $ES. If SEED_ALEXDRAYM_SHORTINTEREST2:NQ does not sweep the low of the NY AM Session, but NYSE:ES sweeps that same exact session’s low during the same candle, then a SMT Divergence is detected.
In the images below, SEED_ALEXDRAYM_SHORTINTEREST2:NQ and NYSE:ES form a low at 12:20 AM on November 12th. At 12:35 AM, the 12:20 AM low is taken out on $NQ. However, on NYSE:ES , price failed to take out this exact low at 12:35 AM. Thus, an SMT Divergence is detected, and a line is drawn between the two lows on $NQ.
NYSE:ES Chart:
SEED_ALEXDRAYM_SHORTINTEREST2:NQ Chart:
🔹 SMT Divergence Settings
The indicator includes settings that allow users to control how SMT Divergences are detected and displayed.
◇ Length
Length controls how sensitive the pivot detection is when finding highs and lows for SMT.
Lower Length: confirms swings with fewer bars, so more swings qualify.
Higher Length: requires more bars to confirm a swing, so fewer swings qualify.
◇ Divergence Length
The Divergence Length setting defines how many bars apart the two swing points may be for them to count as part of the same SMT Divergence.
Higher Values: The two instruments can form their swing highs or lows farther apart in time. As long as both swings occur within this wider bar window, the indicator compares them for divergence.
Lower Values: The two swing points must occur very close to each other.
◇ Show Last
This setting limits how many recent SMT Divergences are displayed on the chart. For example, setting Show Last to 1 will only show the most recent SMT Divergence, while higher values allow more historical SMT Divergences to remain visible on the chart.
◇ Divergence Ticker
Users can change the ticker used for detections. Since SMT Divergences occur by comparing two tickers, the inputted ticker within the settings will always be compared to the current selected ticker on your chart.
DASHBOARD:
The dashboard provides a live summary of all major components of the Inversion Fair Value Gap Model. It updates every candle and displays the current state of each requirement used in the setup logic.
🔹 Real-Time Model Components
The state of each component is displayed with the following:
✔️ = condition is satisfied
❌ = condition is not satisfied
🐂 / 🐻 = current directional bias (bullish or bearish)
The dashboard actively tracks the following:
◇ Bias (🐂 Bullish, 🐻 Bearish, or Both)
Shows the current bias with a bull or bear emoji. If using automatic bias, the dashboard updates as soon as the session logic determines a direction.
◇ Liquidity Sweep
Displays ✔️ once a valid BSL Sweep (for shorts) or SSL Sweep (for longs) is detected.
Shows ❌ when no sweep is present.
◇ V Shape Recovery
Displays ✔️ when a confirmed V shape recovery forms after the sweep.
Shows ❌ until a valid V shape appears.
◇ Inversion Fair Value Gap (IFVG)
Shows ✔️ once a bullish or bearish IFVG forms in the correct direction.
Shows ❌ when no IFVG has yet confirmed.
◇ Higher-Timeframe FVG Interaction
Displays ✔️ when price is currently inside any enabled HTF FVG or taps a HTF FVG during a liquidity sweep.
Displays ❌ when price is not inside a HTF imbalance.
◇ Clear Opposite Draw on Liquidity (DOL)
Shows ✔️ when a clear opposite-side draw is present in the model logic.
Shows ❌ if no clear opposite draw is detected.
◇ SMT Divergence
Shows ✔️ for 20 candles immediately after an SMT Divergence forms.
After 20 candles, it returns to ❌ unless a new SMT Divergence is detected.
🔹 Signal Information Display
When a valid long or short signal appears, the dashboard expands to show the full details of the setup, including:
Signal Rating
Entry Price
Stop-Loss Price
Breakeven Price
Take Profit 1 Price
Take Profit 2 Price
🔹 Trade Statistics Module
Users can enable a built-in statistics panel to view historical performance of signals across all ratings. The trade stats include:
A Signal Win Rate
A+ Signal Win Rate
A++ Signal Win Rate
Long Signal Win Rate
Short Signal Win Rate
Total Number of Trades Used in the Calculations
A trade is counted as a win if price reaches breakeven before stop-loss. A trade is counted as a loss if price hits stop-loss before breakeven.
🔹 Dashboard Customization
The dashboard includes several options to control its appearance and position:
Show Dashboard: Toggle the entire dashboard on or off
Dashboard Size: Choose the size of the dashboard
Dashboard Position: Choose the location of the dashboard on the chart

These toggles only affect visual display. Disabling any of them does not affect the underlying indicator’s logic.
ALERTS:
The Inversion Fair Value Gap Model includes full alert functionality using AnyAlert(), allowing users to receive notifications in real time for all major model components and signal events.
Users can enable or disable each alert type in the “Alerts” section of the settings. After selecting which alerts they want active, they can create a single TradingView alert using the AnyAlert() condition. This will automatically trigger alerts for all enabled events as soon as they occur on the chart.
Available Alerts:
Long Signal
Short Signal
Breakeven Hit (BE)
Take Profit 1 Hit (TP1)
Take Profit 2 Hit (TP2)
Stop-Loss Hit (SL)
Liquidity Sweep Detected
SMT Divergence Detected
How to Receive Alerts:
Open the TradingView alert creation window.
Select the IFVG Model indicator as the alert condition.
Choose AnyAlert() from the condition dropdown.
Create the alert.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
TradingView has limitations when running features on multiple timeframes such as the HTF FVGs, which can result in the following restriction:
Computation Error:
The computation of using MTF features is very intensive on TradingView. This can sometimes cause calculation timeouts. When this occurs, simply force the recalculation by modifying one indicator’s settings or by removing the indicator and adding it to your chart again.
UNIQUENESS:
This indicator is unique because it organizes every part of the Inversion Fair Value Gap Model into one structured, rules based system. It detects liquidity sweeps, confirms V shape recoveries, identifies valid IFVGs, checks higher timeframe FVG taps, reads macro timing, and applies a session based directional bias. All of these components are evaluated in a fixed sequence so users always know exactly why a signal appears. Every part of the logic is customizable, including which liquidity types are used, which IFVGs qualify for signals, which time windows allow trades, the minimum risk to reward for a setup, and all visual elements on the chart. The tool also includes optional SMT Divergence detection, daily and weekly opening gaps, a live dashboard that shows the state of each model requirement, and optional signal performance statistics.
Opening Prices by RiseOpening Prices by Rise - Multi-Timeframe Key Level Tracker
This comprehensive indicator identifies and displays critical opening price levels across multiple timeframes and customizable time-based intervals, providing traders with essential reference points for intraday and swing trading strategies.
The indicator systematically tracks opening prices from various market sessions and timeframe candles, creating persistent horizontal reference levels that extend forward on the chart. These levels represent institutional positioning points and psychological price zones where significant market reactions frequently occur.
Following level establishment, the indicator provides extensive visualization tools including customizable line styles, colors, widths, and optional vertical session markers. Advanced configuration options allow traders to display historical levels from previous trading days, implement custom time-based levels, and track higher timeframe candle opens—all within a single, streamlined interface.
This powerful solution delivers unmatched functionality for traders seeking to identify and monitor key opening price levels across multiple dimensions. Unlike basic session markers that display only current day levels, this indicator combines three distinct tracking systems—pre-configured key times, dynamic higher timeframe candle opens, and fully customizable time-based levels—into one cohesive tool. With its robust customization engine, historical multi-day tracking, and industry-leading custom level creation system, it provides capabilities that dramatically surpass conventional opening price indicators by offering complete control over every visual and functional aspect.
What are Opening Price Levels?
Opening prices represent the first traded price at the beginning of a specific time period. These levels are critical reference points because they often act as support or resistance zones throughout the trading session. The indicator tracks three primary categories:
Key Time-Based Opens
Pre-configured opening prices at strategically important times:
Daily Open -> The first price when the trading day begins
Midnight Open (00:00) -> Session start in 24-hour markets
New York Open (09:30) -> Major market session beginning
Higher Timeframe Candle Opens
Opening prices from larger timeframe candles that provide multi-timeframe context:
Monthly Open -> Beginning of each monthly candle
Weekly Open -> Start of each weekly period
4-Hour Open -> Intraday structural reference points
Each timeframe level can display multiple historical opens, allowing traders to see how price interacts with previous period opening levels.
Custom Time Levels
This indicator features a revolutionary custom level system that allows users to define unlimited time-based opening prices with complete control over styling and display options. Unlike other indicators with rigid preset times, this text-area based system provides unparalleled flexibility—simply add new levels using an intuitive comma-separated format. Each custom level has independent control over display type, line style, color, and width, making this the most versatile opening price tracking system available.
Historical Display
The indicator provides optional historical tracking, displaying opening price levels from previous trading days. This feature is invaluable for identifying recurring support/resistance zones and understanding how current price action relates to prior session opens. Most competing indicators only show current day levels, limiting their analytical value.
What Makes This Indicator Different?
Unified Multi-System Approach -> Combines time-based, candle-based, and custom levels in one indicator instead of requiring multiple tools
Advanced Historical Tracking -> Display previous days of opening levels, unlike competitors limited to current day only
Intelligent Timeframe Detection -> Automatically prevents display issues on incompatible chart timeframes for clean visualization
Industry-Leading Custom System -> Text-area based custom level creation with full parameter control per level—unmatched flexibility
Dual Display Options -> Every level can show horizontal price lines, vertical time markers, or both simultaneously
Complete Style Control -> Individual color, style, width, and text formatting for each level type
Multi-Timeframe Candle Tracking -> Display multiple previous opens from any timeframe (show last 1-5 occurrences)
Professional Label System -> Customizable text display with font, size, format, and alignment options
Smart Extension Logic -> Configurable forward extension with automatic endpoint detection
Dual Display Mode
Each opening level can be displayed as:
Horizontal price line showing the opening level
Vertical time marker indicating when the open occurred
Both simultaneously for complete context

It reflects how I personally analyze price structure, volatility, and directional bias in live markets.
The indicator combines multiple layers of technical logic — multi-timeframe trend context, fixed daily structure levels, volatility bands, and range compression detection — into one stable, easy-to-read system.
It does not predict or guarantee direction; it reads what the market is doing right now and presents it visually in a structured way.
Every element of Astra Edge — the dashboard, zones, and compression highlights — is designed to help traders interpret market behavior, not chase it.
It aims to bring clarity and control to your intraday or swing decision-making by helping you focus on structure, momentum, and context instead of noise.
It’s not a shortcut or a holy grail.
It’s a refined tool that mirrors how experienced traders actually think — visually, contextually, and systematically.
⚙️ Features

💎 Philosophy
“Every trader has tools. The elite have Astra Edge.”
Astra Edge was built for traders who prefer clarity over clutter and discipline over guesswork.
It combines multiple technical frameworks — not to replace your strategy, but to enhance your judgment.

OTT Volatility [RunRox]📊 OTT Volatility is an indicator developed by the RunRox team to pinpoint the most optimal time to trade across different markets.
OTT stands for Optimal Trade Time Volatility and is designed primarily for markets without a fixed trading session, such as cryptocurrencies that trade 24/7. At the same time, it works equally well on any other market.
🔶 The concept is straightforward. The indicator takes a specified number of historical periods (Samples) and statistically evaluates which hours of the day or which days show the highest volatility for the selected asset.
As a result, it highlights time windows with elevated volatility where traders can focus on searching for trade setups and building positions.
🔶 As the core volatility metric, the indicator uses ATR (Average True Range) to measure intraday volatility. Then it calculates the average ATR value over the last N Samples, creating a statistically stable estimate of typical volatility for the selected asset.
🔶 Statistically, during these highlighted periods the market shows higher-than-average volatility.
This means that in these time windows price is more likely to be subject to stronger moves and potential manipulation, making them attractive for active trade execution and position management.
⚠️ However, historical behavior does not guarantee future results.
These periods should be treated only as zones where volatility has a higher probability of being above normal, not as a promise of movement.
As shown in the screenshot above, the indicator also projects potential future volatility based on historical data. This helps you better plan your trading hours and align your activity with periods where volatility is statistically expected to be higher or lower.
🔶 Current Volatility – as shown in the screenshot above, you can also monitor the real-time volatility of the market without any statistical averaging.
On top of that, you can overlay the current volatility on top of the statistical volatility levels, which makes it easy to see whether the market is now trading in a high- or low-volatility regime relative to its usual behavior.
4 display modes – you can choose any visualization style that fits your trading workflow:
Absolute – displays the raw volatility values.
Relative – shows volatility relative to its typical levels.
Average Centered – centers volatility around its average value.
Trim Low Value – filters out low-volatility noise and highlights only more significant moves.
This indicator helps you define the most effective trading hours on any market by relying on historical volatility statistics.
Use it to quickly see when your market tends to be more active and to structure your trading sessions around those periods.
✅ We hope this tool becomes a useful part of your trading toolkit and helps you improve the quality of your decisions and timing.

MACD Divergence auto displayed on chart, with alertsMACD Pivot Divergence Detector
This tool identifies MACD histogram divergences based on confirmed pivot highs and lows.
Instead of comparing swing points on the MACD line, this script focuses specifically on the histogram, which measures momentum shifts between MACD and Signal.
How it works
The script detects confirmed pivots using a two-bar swing structure.
When price breaks above a previous pivot high, the script compares the MACD histogram value at that pivot to the current histogram value:
• If price makes a higher high while the histogram makes a lower high, a potential bearish divergence is marked.
The reverse logic is applied for bullish divergence when price breaks below a pivot low.
What makes this script unique
It uses pivot-confirmed histogram values, not lookback-based divergence.
It evaluates divergence only at actual highs/lows, reducing false positives.
It marks divergence directly on the candles for visual clarity.
Alert conditions are included for automated detection.
How to use
Bullish signals may highlight potential momentum loss in downtrends; bearish signals may highlight momentum loss near highs. Divergence does not guarantee reversal and should be combined with broader context, structure, or trend analysis.
PivotBoss VWAP Bands (Auto TF) - FixedWhat this indicator shows (high level)
The indicator plots a VWAP line and three bands above (R1, R2, R3) and three bands below (S1, S2, S3).
Band spacing is computed from STD(abs(VWAP − price), N) and multiplied by 1, 2 and 3 to form R1–R3 / S1–S3. The script is timeframe-aware: on 30m/1H charts it uses Weekly VWAP and weekly bands; on Daily charts it uses Monthly VWAP and monthly bands; otherwise it uses the session/chart VWAP.
VWAP = the market’s volume-weighted average price (a measure of fair value). Bands = volatility-scaled zones around that fair value.
Trading idea — concept summary
VWAP = fair value. Price above VWAP implies bullish bias; below VWAP implies bearish bias.
Bands = graded overbought/oversold zones. R1/S1 are near-term limits, R2/S2 are stronger, R3/S3 are extreme.
Use trend alignment + price action + volume to choose higher-probability trades. VWAP bands give location and magnitude; confirmations reduce false signals.
Entry rules (multiple strategies with examples)
A. Momentum breakout (trend-following) — preferred on trending markets
Setup: Price consolidates near or below R1 and then closes above R1 with above-average volume. Chart: 30m/1H (Weekly VWAP) or Daily (Monthly VWAP) depending on your timeframe.
Entry: Enter long at the close of the breakout bar that closes above R1.
Stop-loss: Place initial stop below the higher of (VWAP or recent swing low). Example: if price broke R1 at ₹1,200 and VWAP = ₹1,150, set stop at ₹1,145 (5 rupee buffer below VWAP) or below the last swing low if that is wider.
Target: Partial target at R2, full target at R3. Trail stop to VWAP or to R1 after price reaches R2.
Example numeric: Weekly VWAP = ₹1,150, R1 = ₹1,200, R2 = ₹1,260. Buy at ₹1,205 (close above R1), stop ₹1,145, target1 ₹1,260 (R2), target2 ₹1,320 (R3).
B. Mean-reversion fade near bands — for range-bound markets
Setup: Market is not trending (VWAP flatish). Price rallies up to R2 or R3 and shows rejection (pin bar, bearish engulfing) on increasing or neutral volume.
Entry: Enter short after a confirmed rejection candle that fails to sustain above R2 or R3 (prefer confirmation: close back below R1 or below the rejection candle low).
Stop-loss: Just above the recent high (e.g., 1–2 ATR or a fixed buffer above R2/R3).
Target: First target VWAP, second target S1. Reduce size if taking R3 fade as it’s an extreme.
Example numeric: VWAP = ₹950, R2 = ₹1,020. Price spikes to ₹1,025 and forms a bearish engulfing candle. Enter short at ₹1,015 after the next close below ₹1,020. Stop at ₹1,035, target VWAP ₹950.
C. Pullback entries in trending markets — higher probability
Setup: Price is above VWAP and trending higher (higher highs and higher lows). Price pulls back toward VWAP or S1 with decreasing downside volume and a reversal candle forms.
Entry: Long when price forms a bullish reversal (hammer/inside-bar) with a close back above the pullback candle.
Stop-loss: Below the pullback low (or below S2 if a larger stop is justified).
Target: VWAP then R1; if momentum resumes, trail toward R2/R3.
Example numeric: Price trending above Weekly VWAP at ₹1,400; pullback to S1 at ₹1,360. Enter long at ₹1,370 when a bullish candle closes; stop at ₹1,350; first target VWAP ₹1,400, second target R1 ₹1,450.
Exit rules and money management
Basic exit hierarchy
Hard stop exit — when price hits initial stop-loss. Always use.
Target exit — take partial profits at R1/R2 (for longs) or S1/S2 (for shorts). Use trailing stops for the remainder.
VWAP invalidation — if you entered long above VWAP and price returns and closes significantly below VWAP, consider exiting (condition depends on timeframe and trade size).
Price action exit — reversal patterns (strong opposite candle, bearish/bullish engulfing) near targets or beyond signals to exit.
Trailing rules
After price reaches R2, move stop to breakeven + a small buffer or to VWAP.
After price reaches R3, trail by 1 ATR or lock a defined profit percentage.
Position sizing & risk
Risk per trade: commonly 0.5–2% of account equity.
Determine position size by RiskAmount ÷ (EntryPrice − StopPrice).
If the stop distance is large (e.g., trading R3 fades), reduce position size.
Filters & confirmation (to reduce false signals)
Volume filter: For breakouts, require volume above short-term average (e.g., >20-period average). Breakouts on low volume are suspect.
Trend filter: Only take breakouts in the direction of the higher-timeframe trend (for example, use Daily/Weekly trend when trading 30m/1H).
Candle confirmation: Prefer entries on close of the confirming candle (not intrabar noise).
Multiple confirmations: When R1 break happens but RSI/plotted momentum indicator does not confirm, treat signal as lower probability.
Special considerations for timeframe-aware logic
On 30m/1H the script uses Weekly VWAP/bands. That means band levels change only on weekly candles — they are strong, structural levels. Treat R1/R2/R3 as significant and expect fewer, stronger signals.
On Daily, the script uses Monthly VWAP/bands. These are wider; trades should allow larger stops and smaller position sizes (or be used for swing trades).
On other intraday charts you get session VWAP (useful for intraday scalps).
Example: If you trade 1H and the Weekly R1 is at ₹2,400 while session VWAP is ₹2,350, a close above Weekly R1 represents a weekly-level breakout — prefer that for swing entries rather than scalps.
Example trade walkthrough (step-by-step)
Context: 1H chart, auto-mapped → Weekly VWAP used.
Weekly VWAP = ₹3,000; R1 = ₹3,080; R2 = ₹3,150.
Price consolidates below R1. A large bullish candle closes at ₹3,085 with volume 40% above the 20-bar average.
Entry: Buy at close ₹3,085.
Stop: Place stop at ₹2,995 (just under Weekly VWAP). Risk = ₹90.
Position size: If risking ₹900 per trade → size = 900 ÷ 90 = 10 units.
Targets: Partial take-profit at R2 = ₹3,150; rest trailed with stop moved to breakeven after R2 is hit.
If price reverses and closes below VWAP within two bars, exit immediately to limit drawdown.
When to avoid trading these signals
High-impact news (earnings, macro announcements) that can gap through bands unpredictably.
Thin markets with low volume — VWAP loses significance when volumes are extremely low.
When weekly/monthly bands are flat but intraday price is volatile without clear structure — prefer session VWAP on smaller timeframes.
Alerts & automation suggestions
Alert on close above R1 / below S1 (use the built-in alertcondition the script adds). For higher-confidence alerts, require volume filter in the alert condition.
Automated order rules (if you automate): use limit entry at breakout close plus a small slippage buffer, immediate stop order, and OCO for TP and SL.
Price Action - EMA ClusterAligned with Al Brooks' multi-timeframe analysis in his series, this plots three EMA20 lines on 5m charts: current (line), 15m (stepline), and 60m (stepline). Visible only on 5m timeframe for clarity. EMAs act as dynamic trend channels—price above signals bull bias, below bear. Test extremes: Pullbacks to EMA often offer second-leg entries in trends. Customize colors for better visualization of always-in direction.
