OB Sweeps ReversalOB Sweeps Reversal is a high-precision market structure tool that identifies and dynamically tracks bullish and bearish order blocks — key zones where institutional participants are likely to be active. These zones act as support and resistance levels, adapting to market behavior in real time.
The script monitors price interaction with each OB and classifies its status as:
Unmitigated (price has not yet returned)
Mitigating (price is testing the zone)
Invalidated (zone has been broken)
Traders can use these zones directly as actionable support/resistance — or wait for additional confirmation via the system’s liquidity sweep detection and optional filters.
🔍 Key Features:
Automatically detects and plots bullish and bearish OBs
Tracks mitigation status and updates visuals accordingly
Detects liquidity sweeps of recent highs/lows
Optional filters:
• 200 EMA trend direction
• Momentum of current or previous candle
Plots stop-loss and take-profit lines using ATR-based logic
Clean entry labels with full contextual data
Built-in alert system with constant-string messages (automation ready)
📈 How to Use:
Load the script on any timeframe (15m–4H recommended)
Observe the live OB zones as they develop
Trade based on price interaction:
• Bounce off a bullish OB = potential long setup
• Rejection from a bearish OB = potential short
• Sweep + snapback into an OB = optional trap reversal entry
SL/TP levels are drawn automatically for reference
Use alerts to automate or monitor high-conviction setups
The order blocks themselves are valuable on their own — even without waiting for a signal. They can be used as dynamic support and resistance zones, offering excellent structure-based trading opportunities.
🧠 Ideal For:
Traders who follow price action and market structure
Those using support/resistance, OBs, or supply/demand
Intraday and swing traders looking for cleaner structure alignment
Users who prefer low-frequency, high-quality setups
⚠️ Note:
This tool does not produce frequent signals. It is designed for precision and discipline, with a focus on clarity and confluence. It complements — not replaces — a trader’s decision-making process.
This script is open-source and designed with integrity, precision, and trader usability in mind. No links, no upsells, no promotions — just a reliable system for structural market analysis.
Mean Reversion Bundle [ActiveQuants]The Mean Reversion Bundle indicator is a powerful and versatile toolkit designed for traders who specialize in mean reversion strategies .

█ SETTING UP ALERTS
The Mean Reversion Bundle comes with several pre-configured alert conditions to notify you of potential trading opportunities. To set up an alert:
Click the " Alert " button (clock icon) on TradingView's right-hand toolbar or top panel.
In the " Condition " dropdown, select " Mean Reversion Bundle ".
A second dropdown will appear, allowing you to choose from the specific alert conditions built into the script (e.g., " Price Crossover (Fast MA) ", " Bullish RSI Divergence ", " Lower Bollinger Band Recovery ").
You can also create more complex alerts by selecting one of the indicator's plotted lines (e.g., " RSI ", " Stochastic %K ", " Bollinger Band Basis ") in the first condition box, then choosing a comparison (e.g., " Crossing Down ", " Greater Than "), and then selecting another value or plotted line from the indicator in the third box.
Choose your preferred " Trigger " option:
- " Only Once ": The alert triggers the first time the condition is met, even on an unclosed (intra-bar) candle. The alert then deactivates.
- " Once Per Bar Close ": (Recommended for most mean reversion signals) The alert triggers only after the current bar closes if the condition was true on that closed bar. This ensures signals are based on confirmed price action and allows the alert to re-trigger on subsequent bars if the condition remains true.
- Other options like " Once Per Bar " or " Once Per Minute " are also available for different needs.
Customize the alert name, message, and notification preferences.
Click " Create ".
█ STRATEGY EXAMPLES
The following examples are for illustrative purposes only to demonstrate how indicators in this bundle can be combined for mean reversion strategies. They are not financial advice. Always conduct thorough backtesting and research.
1. Bollinger Band Reversal with RSI Confirmation
Goal: Identify potential reversals when price touches an outer Bollinger Band and RSI shows overbought/oversold conditions.
Setup: Enable Bollinger Bands (e.g., 20,2), RSI (e.g., 14), and optionally the Choppiness Index.
Entry (Long):
- Price touches or briefly closes below the Lower Bollinger Band.
- RSI is in the oversold region (e.g., below 30) or shows bullish divergence.
- Optional Filter: Choppiness Index > 61.8 (indicating a ranging market favorable for BB mean reversion).
- Enter on a confirming candle (e.g., price closes back inside the Lower Band, or a bullish candle pattern forms).
Entry (Short): Reverse logic for Upper Bollinger Band and overbought RSI (e.g., above 70) or bearish divergence.
Management: Stop-loss beyond the recent swing low/high or a multiple of ATR. Target the Bollinger Band basis line or the opposite band.
2. Stochastic Oversold/Overbought with Pivot Point Support/Resistance
Goal: Trade bounces from key Pivot Point levels when confirmed by Stochastic extremes.
Setup: Enable Stochastic (e.g., 14,3,3), Pivot Points (e.g., Daily Traditional), and Fast MA (e.g., 9 EMA) for short-term trend context.
Entry (Long):
- Price approaches a significant Pivot Support level (S1, S2).
- Stochastic %K and %D lines are in the oversold region (e.g., below 20) and ideally show a bullish crossover (%K crosses above %D).
- Optional Filter: Price is above the Fast MA, or the Fast MA starts to slope up.
- Enter on signs of price rejection at the Pivot level.
Entry (Short): Reverse logic for Pivot Resistance levels (R1, R2) and overbought Stochastic (e.g., above 80) with a bearish crossover.
Management: Stop-loss below the Pivot Support (for longs) or above Pivot Resistance (for shorts). Target the next Pivot level or a fixed risk-reward ratio.
3. RSI Divergence at Keltner Channel Extremes
Goal: Capitalize on weakening momentum (divergence) as price tests the outer Keltner Channel bands.
Setup: Enable RSI (with Divergence plotting enabled), Keltner Channels (e.g., 20,2 EMA basis, ATR 10), and ATR (for stop placement).
Entry (Long):
- Price is testing or near the Lower Keltner Channel band.
- A Bullish RSI Divergence is plotted (price makes a lower low, but RSI makes a higher low).
- Enter once the divergence is confirmed and price shows signs of turning up.
Entry (Short):
- Price is testing or near the Upper Keltner Channel band.
- A Bearish RSI Divergence is plotted (price makes a higher high, but RSI makes a lower high).
- Enter once divergence is confirmed and price shows signs of turning down.
Management: Place stop-loss based on ATR (e.g., 1.5x ATR below entry for longs) or beyond the Keltner Channel. Target could be the Keltner basis line or a measured move.
█ CONCLUSION
The Mean Reversion Bundle offers a sophisticated yet user-friendly suite of tools essential for traders focusing on mean reversion. By consolidating these powerful indicators, providing extensive customization , multi-timeframe analysis , and integrated alerts , this bundle simplifies the analytical workflow and aids in the development of more robust and nuanced trading strategies. Whether identifying potential exhaustion points, confirming overbought/oversold conditions, or finding precise entry near dynamic support/resistance, this bundle is a versatile asset for your technical analysis toolkit.
█ IMPORTANT NOTES
⚠ Parameter Optimization: The default settings are starting points. Always adjust indicator parameters (lengths, multipliers, levels) based on the specific asset, its volatility, and the timeframe you are trading. Thorough backtesting is crucial.
⚠ Multi-Timeframe Dynamics: Using the " Timeframe " input can be very powerful. If " Wait TF Close " is enabled (default), signals from higher timeframes will only update upon the close of that higher timeframe bar. Disabling it may lead to signals changing intra-bar.
⚠ Confluence is Key: Avoid relying on a single indicator. The strength of this bundle lies in combining signals from multiple indicators to build a confluence case for a trade.
⚠ Chart Clarity: While many tools are available, only enable those pertinent to your current strategy to maintain a clear and actionable chart.
⚠ Signal Confirmation: Indicator signals are typically finalized on bar close. Be cautious when acting on intra-bar signals, as they can change before the bar is complete. Using " Once Per Bar Close " for alerts is generally recommended for mean reversion signals.
█ RISK DISCLAIMER
Trading involves a substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. The Mean Reversion Bundle indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only . It does NOT constitute financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any asset. Indicator signals identify potential patterns based on historical data but do not guarantee future price movements or profitability. Always conduct your own thorough research, utilize multiple sources of information, and implement robust risk management practices before making any trading decisions. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Money Flow Index + VWAP Trend FilterThis indicator combines the volume-weighted momentum analysis of the Money Flow Index (MFI) with the trend-filtering capabilities of the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) to generate reliable buy and sell signals. By requiring MFI overbought/oversold conditions to align with the trend direction relative to VWAP, this indicator reduces false signals, making it ideal for trading on timeframes like 5-minute to 4-hour charts.
How It Works
The indicator uses two technical components to produce signals:
Money Flow Index (MFI) for Momentum Extremes:
The MFI, calculated over a default 14-period length, measures buying and selling pressure using price and volume data. A buy signal is triggered when MFI crosses above the oversold level (default: 20), indicating potential buying pressure, while a sell signal occurs when MFI crosses below the overbought level (default: 80), suggesting selling pressure.
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) for Trend Direction:
The VWAP calculates the average price of an asset, weighted by volume, resetting at the start of each trading session (e.g., daily for stocks). It acts as a dynamic support/resistance level. A bullish trend is confirmed when the price is above the VWAP, and a bearish trend when the price is below the VWAP. This ensures MFI signals are filtered to align with the broader trend direction, plotted as a purple line on the chart.
Signal Generation
Signals are generated using the previous bar’s values to prevent repainting:
Buy Signal: The MFI crosses above the oversold level, and the price is above the VWAP (bullish trend). Displayed as a green upward triangle below the bar.
Sell Signal: The MFI crosses below the overbought level, and the price is below the VWAP (bearish trend). Displayed as a red downward triangle above the bar.
SMT - JimmyTrades🔧 SMT – JimmyTrades: Publication Rules and User Guide
📌 What This Script Does
This script detects Smart Money Traps (SMT) Divergences between the instrument on your chart and a comparative symbol (default: ES). It automatically plots both confirmed and unconfirmed bullish and bearish SMT setups across multiple timeframes.
These SMT divergences can help traders:
Identify potential reversal points
Confirm high-probability entries in line with smart money behavior
Enhance bias when confluence aligns with other market structure or liquidity factors
⚙️ Important Settings
Please make sure you correctly configure the following inputs:
Symbol: The comparative asset to check divergence against. Common examples: ES, NQ, SPX.
Session Type: Ensure this matches your chart’s session setting: Extended or Regular.
Adjustment Type: Match this to your chart (None, Dividends, or Splits) under TradingView’s chart settings (bottom-right corner).
Pivot Lookback: Controls the sensitivity of divergence detection (default is 15). Higher values reduce signal frequency.
Timeframes: You can enable up to six timeframes independently for SMT scanning.
🟢 Bullish SMT Signals
Bullish SMTs are identified when price on your chart makes a lower low, but the comparative symbol (e.g., ES) does not, suggesting potential accumulation or trap liquidity.
🔴 Bearish SMT Signals
Bearish SMTs are flagged when your chart makes a higher high, while the comparative symbol fails to do so, hinting at distribution or a stop run setup.
📈 How to Use This Script
Add the indicator to your chart.
Set the correct comparative symbol (e.g., ES for NQ, SPX for SPY, etc.).
Choose your preferred timeframes.
Watch for unconfirmed SMTs (dotted lines) as potential early warnings.
Look for confirmed SMTs (solid lines) once price respects the divergence zone for several bars.
Combine with structure, liquidity sweeps, killzones, and high-impact news for higher confluence.
🧠 Best Practices
Use SMT signals as part of a broader trade plan—not standalone entries.
Focus on SMTs forming after liquidity sweeps or during session opens (London/NY).
Combine with your higher-timeframe bias, breaker blocks, or Pegasus/Unicorn entry models.
⚠️ Limitations
Historical backtest may show perfect SMTs—real-time confirmation requires patience.
SMTs may not play out without proper context—avoid blindly entering based on signal alone.
This script is not financial advice—use at your own discretion and always manage risk.

Heikin Ashi + MACD Momentum FilterThe Heikin Ashi + MACD Momentum Filter is designed for short-term and swing traders, combining the trend-smoothing capabilities of manually calculated Heikin Ashi candles with the momentum confirmation of the MACD histogram to generate reliable buy and sell signals. This indicator aligns trend direction with momentum shifts to minimize false signals, making it ideal for trading trending markets on timeframes like 5-minute to 1-hour charts.
How It Works
The indicator uses two technical components to produce signals:
Heikin Ashi for Trend Detection:
Heikin Ashi candles are manually calculated to smooth price action, with the close as the average of OHLC values and the open as the average of the previous Heikin Ashi open and close. These values are further smoothed over a default 5-period moving average. A bullish trend is confirmed when the smoothed Heikin Ashi close is above its open (plotted in green), and a bearish trend when the close is below the open (plotted in red). This smoothing reduces noise, helping traders stay in the direction of the prevailing trend.
MACD Histogram for Momentum Confirmation:
The MACD, calculated with standard settings (fast=12, slow=26, signal=9), produces a histogram. A buy signal requires the histogram to cross above a threshold (default: 0.0), indicating bullish momentum, while a sell signal requires a cross below, indicating bearish momentum. This ensures trades are taken when momentum supports the trend.
Signal Generation
Signals are generated using the previous bar’s values to prevent repainting:
Buy Signal: The MACD histogram crosses above the threshold, and the Heikin Ashi confirms a bullish trend. Displayed as a green upward triangle below the bar.
Sell Signal: The MACD histogram crosses below the threshold, and the Heikin Ashi confirms a bearish trend. Displayed as a red downward triangle above the bar.
Multi-Timeframe Continuity Custom Candle ConfirmationMulti-Timeframe Continuity Custom Candle Confirmation
Overview
The Timeframe Continuity Indicator is a versatile tool designed to help traders identify alignment between their current chart’s candlestick direction and higher timeframes of their choice. By coloring bars on the current chart (e.g., 1-minute) based on the directional alignment with selected higher timeframes (e.g., 10-minute, daily), this indicator provides a visual cue for confirming trends across multiple timeframes—a concept known as Timeframe Continuity. This approach is particularly useful for day traders, swing traders, and scalpers looking to ensure their trades align with broader market trends, reducing the risk of trading against the prevailing momentum.
Originality and Usefulness
This indicator is an original creation, built from scratch to address a common challenge in trading: ensuring that price action on a lower timeframe aligns with the trend on higher timeframes. Unlike many trend-following indicators that rely on moving averages, oscillators, or other lagging metrics, this script directly compares the bullish or bearish direction of candlesticks across timeframes. It introduces the following unique features:
Customizable Timeframes: Users can select from a range of higher timeframes (5m, 10m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, 1d, 1w, 1M) to check for alignment, making it adaptable to various trading styles.
Neutral Candle Handling: The script accounts for neutral candles (where close == open) on the current timeframe by allowing them to inherit the direction of the higher timeframe, ensuring continuity in trend visualization.
Table: A table displays the direction of each selected timeframe and the current timeframe, helping identify direction in the event you don't want to color bars.
Toggles for Flexibility: Options to disable bar coloring and the debug table allow users to customize the indicator’s visual output for cleaner charts or focused analysis.
This indicator is not a mashup of existing scripts but a purpose-built tool to visualize timeframe alignment directly through candlestick direction, offering traders a straightforward way to confirm trend consistency.
What It Does
The Timeframe Continuity Indicator colors bars on your chart when the direction of the current timeframe’s candlestick (bullish, bearish, or neutral) aligns with the direction of the selected higher timeframes:
Lime: The current bar (e.g., 1m) is bullish or neutral, and all selected higher timeframes (e.g., 10m) are bullish.
Pink: The current bar is bearish or neutral, and all selected higher timeframes are bearish.
Default Color: If the directions don’t align (e.g., 1m bar is bearish but 10m is bullish), the bar remains the default chart color.
The indicator also includes a debug table (toggleable) that shows the direction of each selected timeframe and the current timeframe, helping traders diagnose alignment issues.
How It Works
The script uses the following methodology:
1. Direction Calculation: For each timeframe (current and selected higher timeframes), the script determines the candlestick’s direction:
Bullish (1): close > open / Bearish (-1): close < open / Neutral (0): close == open
Higher timeframe directions are fetched using Pine Script’s request.security function, ensuring accurate data retrieval.
2. Alignment Check: The script checks if all selected higher timeframes are uniformly bullish (full_bullish) or bearish (full_bearish).
o A higher timeframe must have a clear direction (bullish or bearish) to trigger coloring. If any selected timeframe is neutral, alignment fails, and no coloring occurs.
3. Coloring Logic: The current bar is colored only if its direction aligns with the higher timeframes:
Lime if the higher timeframes are bullish and the current bar is bullish or neutral.
Maroon if the higher timeframes are bearish and the current bar is bearish or neutral.
If the current bar’s direction opposes the higher timeframe (e.g., 1m bearish, 10m bullish), the bar remains uncolored.
Users can disable bar coloring entirely via the settings, leaving bars in their default chart color.
4. Direction Table:
A table in the top-right corner (toggleable) displays the direction of each selected timeframe and the current timeframe, using color-coded labels (green for bullish, red for bearish, gray for neutral).
This feature helps traders understand why a bar is or isn’t colored, making the indicator accessible to users unfamiliar with Pine Script.
How to Use
1. Add the Indicator: Add the "Timeframe Continuity Indicator" to your chart in TradingView (e.g., a 1m chart of SPY).
2. Configure Settings:
Timeframe Selection: Check the boxes for the higher timeframes you want to compare against (default: 10m). Options include 5m, 10m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, 1D, 1W, and 1M. Select multiple timeframes if you want to ensure alignment across all of them (e.g., 10m and 1d).
Enable Bar Coloring: Default: true (bars are colored lime or maroon when aligned). Set to false to disable coloring and keep the default chart colors.
Show Table: Default: true (table is displayed in the top-right corner). Set to false to hide the table for a cleaner chart.
3. Interpret the Output:
Colored Bars: Lime bars indicate the current bar (e.g., 1m) is bullish or neutral, and all selected higher timeframes are bullish. Maroon bars indicate the current bar is bearish or neutral, and all selected higher timeframes are bearish. Uncolored bars (default chart color) indicate a mismatch (e.g., 1m bar is bearish while 10m is bullish) or no coloring if disabled.
Direction Table: Check the table to see the direction of each selected timeframe and the current timeframe.
4. Example Use Case:
On a 1m chart of SPY, select the 10m timeframe.
If the 10m timeframe is bearish, 1m bars that are bearish or neutral will color maroon, confirming you’re trading with the higher timeframe’s trend.
If a 1m bar is bullish while the 10m is bearish, it remains uncolored, signaling a potential misalignment to avoid trading.
Underlying Concepts
The indicator is based on the concept of Timeframe Continuity, a strategy used by traders to ensure that price action on a lower timeframe aligns with the trend on higher timeframes. This reduces the risk of entering trades against the broader market direction. The script directly compares candlestick directions (bullish, bearish, or neutral) rather than relying on lagging indicators like moving averages or RSI, providing a real-time, price-action-based confirmation of trend alignment. The handling of neutral candles ensures that minor indecision on the lower timeframe doesn’t interrupt the visualization of the higher timeframe’s trend.
Why This Indicator?
Simplicity: Directly compares candlestick directions, avoiding complex calculations or lagging indicators.
Flexibility: Customizable timeframes and toggles cater to various trading strategies.
Transparency: The debug table makes the indicator’s logic accessible to all users, not just those who can read Pine Script.
Practicality: Helps traders confirm trend alignment, a key factor in successful trading across timeframes.
BB Vicinity Reversal SignalsThis indicator detects potential intraday reversal opportunities based on price action near the outer edges of Bollinger Bands (±2.7 std dev). Unlike traditional Bollinger Band signals that require strict band touches or crossings, this tool identifies reversals that occur in the vicinity of the outer bands, increasing signal frequency while maintaining logical precision.
✅ Key Features:
Buy Signal: Triggered when a bullish candle with a strong body forms near the lower Bollinger Band.
Sell Signal: Triggered when a bearish candle with a strong body forms near the upper Bollinger Band.
Vicinity logic: User-adjustable % range from the outer bands (default: 20%) to define how close price must be.
Body-to-candle ratio filter: Ensures that only meaningful directional candles trigger signals.
No repainting: All signals are generated in real-time based on confirmed candle closes.
Built-in alerts: Receive instant notifications for buy and sell setups.
This tool is ideal for traders looking to capture high-probability mean-reversion trades without being overly restrictive. It works well on intraday timeframes like 5m, 15m, and 1h.
Apex Edge - MTF Confluence PanelApex Edge – MTF Confluence Panel
Description:
The Apex Edge – MTF Confluence Panel is a powerful multi-timeframe analysis tool built to streamline trade decision-making by aggregating key confluences across three user-defined timeframes. The panel visually presents the state of five core market signals—Trend, Momentum, Sweep, Structure, and Trap—alongside a unified Score column that summarizes directional bias with clarity.
Traders can customize the number of bullish/bearish conditions required to trigger a score signal, allowing the tool to be tailored for both conservative and aggressive trading styles. This script is designed for those who value a clean, structured, and objective approach to identifying market alignment—whether scalping or swing trading.
How it Works:
Across each of the three selected timeframes, the panel evaluates:
Trend: Based on a user-configurable Hull Moving Average (HMA), the script compares price relative to trend to determine bullish, bearish, or neutral bias.
Momentum: Uses OBV (On-Balance Volume) with volume spike detection to identify bursts of strong buying or selling pressure.
Sweep: Detects potential liquidity grabs by identifying price rejections beyond prior swing highs/lows. A break below a previous low with reversal signals bullish intent (and vice versa for bearish).
Structure: Uses dynamic pivot-based logic to identify market structure breaks (BOS) beyond recent confirmed swing levels.
Trap: Flags potential false moves by measuring RSI overbought/oversold signal clusters combined with minimal price movement—highlighting exhaustion or deceptive breaks.
Score: A weighted consensus of the above components. The number of required confluences to trigger a score (default: 3) can be set by the user via input, offering flexibility in signal sensitivity.
Why It’s Useful for Traders:
Quick Decision-Making: The color-coded panel provides instant visual feedback on whether confluences align across timeframes—ideal for fast-paced environments like scalping or high-volatility news sessions.
Multi-Timeframe Confidence: Helps eliminate guesswork by confirming whether higher and lower timeframe conditions support your trade idea.
Customizability: Adjustable confluence threshold means traders can fine-tune how sensitive the system is—more signals for faster entries, stricter confluence for higher conviction trades.
Built-In Alerts: Automated alerts for score alignment, trap detection, and liquidity sweeps allow traders to stay informed even when away from the screen.
Strategic Edge: Supports directional bias confirmation and trade filtering with logic designed to mimic professional decision-making workflows.
Features:
Clean, real-time confluence table across three user-selected timeframes
Configurable score sensitivity via “Minimum Confluences for Score” input
Cell-based colour coding for at-a-glance trade direction
Built-in alerts for score alignment, traps, and sweep triggers

Apex Edge - Session Sweep ProApex Edge Session Sweep Pro
By Apex Edge | 2025 Edition
🔍 What is it?
The Apex Session Sweep Pro is a precision trading tool designed for identifying high-probability liquidity sweep entries during key global market sessions. It combines powerful sweep detection logic with dynamic candle colouring, session visualization, TP projections, and real-time alerts — all within a clean, performance-optimized Pine Script engine.
This is not your average session box indicator. This is Apex-grade.
⚙️ How it Works
The indicator detects session liquidity sweeps by tracking price action relative to previous session highs and lows. When a session high/low is swept (i.e., price breaches it and then closes in the opposite direction), it generates a signal:
Buy Signal → Price sweeps previous low and closes back above it
Sell Signal → Price sweeps previous high and closes back below it
Each session is boxed on the chart (Tokyo, London, New York, Sydney), color-coded, and dynamically labelled.
Upon detecting a valid sweep, the script:
Plots a small entry label (toggleable)
Projects up to 5 customizable TP levels
Coloured candles for visual trade direction
Alerts for Buy or Sell sweep signals (optional)
All elements are memory-managed and customizable to suit your trading style.
🧠 Key Features
✅ Smart Sweep Detection Logic
✅ Global Market Session Boxes (Custom Times)
✅ Toggleable Entry Labels + TP Levels
✅ Candle Colouring by Signal
✅ Manual TP input + TP toggles
✅ Real-time Alerts for Apex entries
🕒 Why Are My Sessions Offset?
Your chart’s time zone may be different from UTC. This script is UTC-based by design, so if your chart is set to UTC+1, for example, the sessions will appear one hour later. Either:
Adjust your chart to UTC or or Exchange for perfect alignment,
Or tweak the session input times manually.
🧰 Who is this for?
This tool is made for:
Intraday traders looking for sweeps into liquidity
SMC (Smart Money Concept) strategists
Forex, crypto, and indices traders
Anyone who uses session-based levels to define entries
Whether you scalp London or ride NY swings, this tool frames each session cleanly — and shows you where the traps are laid.
🚨 Disclaimer
This indicator is a technical tool, not financial advice. Use proper risk management. Past performance ≠ future results.

0830-0845 High/Low Marker (Accurate Start + History)This indicator marks the high and low of the 15-minute candle between 08:30 and 08:45 (local time) of the trading session. The high and low are tracked dynamically, with the lines drawn once the 08:45 candle closes.
Key Features:
Session-based Tracking: Automatically tracks and records the high and low of the 15-minute period starting at 08:30 and ending at 08:45.
Excludes 08:45 High : If a high is created exactly at 08:45, the indicator will ignore it and use the highest value before 08:45, ensuring it only references the price action during the specified window.
Line Extension : The high and low lines are drawn and extended to the right for a user-defined number of bars, making them visible beyond the session's close.
Customizable Parameters : Adjust the start and end times of the session, line colors, and line width to fit your preferences.
Use Case :
Ideal for traders who focus on the price action during the early part of the trading session (08:30 to 08:45) and want to track significant levels of support and resistance from that period.
The extended lines help identify potential price zones for the rest of the session or the trading day.
CRT Finder (WanHakimFX)📈 Liquidity Grab Indicator with MTF Confluence & Alerts
🔍 Overview:
The Liquidity Grab Indicator is designed to detect precise moments when price sweeps liquidity — either by wicking below recent lows (bullish LQH) or above recent highs (bearish LQL) — followed by a clear rejection. It combines this logic with multi-timeframe confirmation and trend filters, making it a powerful tool for identifying high-probability reversal setups.
⚙️ How It Works:
✅ Liquidity Sweep Logic (LQH / LQL)
Bullish (LQH):
Current candle wicks below the previous low
Closes above the previous candle body
Confirms potential bullish reversal
Bearish (LQL):
Current candle wicks above the previous high
Closes below the previous candle body
Confirms potential bearish reversal
✅ Additional Conditions:
Must occur during London or New York sessions.
Requires trend confluence:
LQH = Price must be above SMMA 60/100/200
LQL = Price must be below SMMA 60/100/200
🧠 Multi-Timeframe Confluence:
The indicator scans for LQH/LQL sweeps across:
Daily
4H
1H
30M
15M
If a sweep occurs on any of these timeframes, an alert is triggered and a triangle marker appears on the chart for real-time visual confluence.
📊 Visual Features:
Green/Red labels for active timeframe sweeps.
Dotted wick lines to show liquidity zones from the previous candle.
Colored triangle markers for MTF sweep alerts.
🛠 Strategy Usage:
This indicator is best used as a trigger tool in a confluence-based strategy:
Use higher-timeframe MTF LQH/LQL markers for directional bias.
Wait for matching sweep on your entry timeframe (e.g., M1/M5).
Enter on confirmation candle or break of structure.
Target imbalances, FVGs, or previous highs/lows.
Risk-managed entries using sweep candle's high/low as stop.
📢 Alerts:
✅ Bullish Sweep (LQH) on any timeframe
✅ Bearish Sweep (LQL) on any timeframe
Supertrend + Stochastic RSIThe Supertrend + Stochastic RSI indicator is designed for scalping and short-term trading, combining the trend-following power of the Supertrend with the momentum insights of the Stochastic RSI to generate reliable buy and sell signals. This indicator aims to reduce false signals by requiring confirmation from both trend direction and momentum, making it suitable for traders targeting quick, high-probability trades in fast-moving markets on lower timeframes (e.g., 1-minute to 15-minute charts).
How It Works
The indicator integrates two technical components to produce actionable signals:
Supertrend for Trend Direction:
The Supertrend, calculated with a default length of 10 and a factor of 3.0, identifies the prevailing trend. It plots a line above or below the price, turning green when the trend is bullish (price above Supertrend) and red when bearish (price below Supertrend). This helps traders stay aligned with the market’s direction, reducing trades against the trend.
Stochastic RSI for Momentum Confirmation:
The Stochastic RSI, computed over a 14-period RSI with 3-period smoothing for %K and %D lines, measures momentum. A buy signal is generated when the %K line crosses above the oversold level (default: 20), indicating potential upward momentum, while a sell signal occurs when %K crosses below the overbought level (default: 80), suggesting downward momentum.
Signal Generation
Signals are produced only when both conditions align, using the previous bar’s values to prevent repainting:
Buy Signal: The Stochastic RSI %K crosses above the oversold level, and the Supertrend confirms a bullish trend (price above Supertrend). Displayed as a green upward triangle below the bar.
Sell Signal: The Stochastic RSI %K crosses below the overbought level, and the Supertrend confirms a bearish trend (price below Supertrend). Displayed as a red downward triangle above the bar.
ADR & ATR OverlayADR & ATR Overlay
This indicator will display the following as an overlay on your chart:

How to use this indicator:
The ADR and ATR can be used to provide information about average price moves to help set targets, stop losses, entries and exits based on the potential average moves.
Example: If the "% of ADR" is reading 100%, then 100% of the asset's average price range has been covered, suggesting that an additional move beyond the range has a lower probability.
Example: "ADR % of Price" provides potential price movement in percentage which can be used to asses R/R for asset.
Example: ADR (D) reading is 100% at market close but ATR (D) is at 70% at close. This suggests that there is a potential move of 30% in Pre/Post market as suggested by averages.
Notes:
These indicators are available as oscillators to place under your chart through trading view but this indicator will place them on the chart in numerical only format.

RunRox - Entry Model🎯 RunRox Entry Model is an all-in-one reversal-pattern indicator engineered to help traders accurately identify key price-reversal points on their charts. It will be part of our premium indicator package and improve the effectiveness of your trading strategies.
The primary concept of this indicator is liquidity analysis, making it ideal for Smart Money traders and for trading within market structure. At the same time, the indicator is universal and can be integrated into any strategy. Below, I will outline the full concept of the indicator and its settings so you can better understand how it works.
🧬 CONCEPT
In the screenshot below, I’ll schematically illustrate the core idea of this indicator. It’s one of the patterns that the indicator automatically detects on the chart using a two-timeframe approach. We use the higher timeframe to identify liquidity zones, and the lower timeframe to capture liquidity removal and structure breaks. The schematic is shown in the screenshot below.
Our indicator includes three entry models in total , and I will discuss its functionality and features in more detail later in this post.
💡 FEATURES
Three entry models
PO3 HTF Bar
Entry Area
Optimization for each Entry Area
Filters
HTF FVG
Alert customization
Next, we will examine each entry model in detail.
🟠 ENTRY MODEL 1
The first model is the core one we’ll work with; all other models rely on its structure and construction. In the screenshot below, I’ll schematically show the complete model.
As shown in the screenshot above, we display higher-timeframe candles on the current chart to better visualize the entry model and keep the trader informed of what’s happening on the larger timeframe. The screenshot also highlights both the Long and Short models, as well as the Entry Area, which I will explain in more detail below.
The schematic model on the lower timeframe is shown in the screenshot above. It illustrates that after the Entry Model forms, we draw the Entry Area on the next candle and wait for a price pullback into this zone for the optimal trade entry. Statistically, before moving higher, the price typically revisits the Entry Area, covering the imbalances created by MSS; thus, the Entry Area represents the ideal entry point.
🟩 Entry Area
Once the Entry Model has formed, we focus on identifying the optimal pullback zone for taking a position. To determine which retracement area performs best, we conducted extensive historical backtesting on potential zones and selected those that consistently delivered the strongest results. This process yields Entry Areas with the highest probability of a successful reversal.
On the screenshot above, you can see an example of the Entry Area and which zones carry a higher versus lower probability of reversal. Zones rendered with greater transparency have historically delivered weaker results than the more opaque zones. The deeper-colored areas represent the optimal entry zones and can improve your risk-reward ratio by allowing you to enter at more favorable prices.
It’s important to remember that the entire Entry Area functions as a potential zone for scaling into a position. However, if your risk-to-reward ratio isn’t favorable, you can wait for the price to retrace to lower levels within the Entry Area and enter with a more attractive risk-to-reward.
🟢 Pattern Rating
Each entry model receives a rating in the form of green circles next to its name 🟢. The rating ranges from one to four circles, based on the historical performance of similar patterns. To calculate this rating, we backtest past data by analyzing candle behavior during the model’s formation and assign circles according to how similar patterns performed historically.
Example Ratings:
🟢 – One circle
🟢🟢 – Two circles
🟢🟢🟢 – Three circles
🟢🟢🟢🟢 – Four circles
The more green circles a model has, the more reliable it is—but it’s crucial to rely on your own analysis when identifying strong reversal points on the chart. This rating reflects the model’s historical performance and does not guarantee future results, so keep that in mind!
Below is a screenshot showing four model variations with different ratings on the chart.
⚠️ Unconfirmed Pattern
Entry Model 1 is designed so that, until the higher-timeframe candle closes, the pattern remains unconfirmed and is hidden on the chart. For traders who prefer to see setups as they form, there’s a dedicated feature that displays the unconfirmed pattern at the moment of its appearance - triggered by the Market Structure Shift - before the HTF candle closes. The screenshot below shows what the pattern looks like prior to confirmation.
‼️IMPORTANT: Until the pattern is confirmed and the higher-timeframe candle has closed, the model may disappear from the chart if price reverses and the HTF candle closes below the previous bar. Therefore, this mode is suitable only for experienced traders who want to see market moves in advance. Remember that the pattern can be removed from the chart, so we recommend waiting for the HTF candle to close before deciding to enter a trade.‼️
✂️ Filters
For the primary model, there are four filters designed to enhance entry points or exclude less-confirmed patterns. The filters available in the indicator are:
Bounce Filter
Market Shift Mode
Same Wave Filter
Only with Divergence
I will explain how each of these filters works below.
- Bounce Filter
The Bounce Filter identifies significant deviations of price from its mean and only displays the Entry Model once the asset’s price moves beyond the average level. The screenshot below illustrates how this appears on the chart.
The actual average-price calculation is more sophisticated than what’s shown in the screenshot, that image is just an illustrative example. When the price deviates significantly from the N-bar average, we start looking for the Entry Model. This approach works particularly well in range-bound markets without a clear trend, as it lets you trade strong deviations from the mean.
- Market Shift Mode
This filter works by detecting the initial impulse that triggered the liquidity sweep on the previous higher-timeframe candle, and then holding the Market Structure Shift level at that point after the sweep. If the filter is turned off, price may move higher following the liquidity removal, creating a new MSS level and potentially producing a false structure shift and entry signal on the formed model.
This filter helps you more accurately identify genuine shifts - but keep in mind that the model can still perform well without it, so choose the setting that best suits your trading style.
- Same Wave Filter
The Same Wave Filter removes entry models that form without a clear lower-timeframe structure when liquidity is swept from the previous higher-timeframe candle. In other words, if the prior HTF candle and the current one belong to the same impulse wave - without any retracements on the LTF - the model is filtered out.
Keep in mind that this filter may also exclude patterns that could have produced positive results, so whether to enable it depends on your trading system.
- Only with Divergence
The Only with Divergence filter detects divergence between the lows of successive candles and indicators like RSI. When the low that swept liquidity diverges from the previous candle’s low, the indicator displays a “DIV” label. Although RSI is cited as an example, our divergence calculation is more advanced. This filter highlights patterns where low divergence signals genuine liquidity manipulation and a likely aggressive price reversal.
🌀 Model Settings
Trade Direction: Choose whether to display models for Long or Short trades.
Fractal: Select between automatic fractal detection—which adapts the lower-timeframe (LTF) and higher-timeframe (HTF) candles—or Custom.
Custom Fractal: When Custom is selected, manually specify the LTF and HTF timeframes used to detect the patterns.
History Pattern Limit: Set the maximum number of patterns to display on the chart to keep it clean and uncluttered.
🎨 Model Style
You can flexibly customize the model’s appearance by choosing your preferred line thickness, color, and the other settings we discussed above.
🔵 ENTRY MODEL 2
This model appears under specific conditions when Model 1 cannot form. It’s a price-reversal model constructed according to different rules than the first model. The screenshot below shows how it looks on the chart.
This model forms less frequently than Model 1 but delivers equally strong performance and is displayed as a position-entry zone.
Like the Entry Area in Entry Model 1, this zone is calculated automatically and highlights the best entry levels: areas that showed the strongest historical results are rendered in a brighter shade.
🎨 Model Style
You can flexibly customize the style of Entry Model 2 - its color, opacity, visibility, and the average price of the previous candle.
🟢 ENTRY MODEL 3
Entry Model 3 is a continuation pattern that only forms after Entry Model 1 has completed and delivered the necessary price move to trigger Model 3.
Below is a schematic illustration of how Model 3 is intended to work.
🎨 Model Style
As with the previous models, you can flexibly customize the style of this zone.
⬆️ HTF CANDLES
One of the standout features of this indicator is the ability to plot higher-timeframe (HTF) candles directly on your lower-timeframe (LTF) chart, giving you clear visualization of the entry models and insight into what’s unfolding on the larger timeframe.
You can fully customize the HTF candles - select their style, the number of bars displayed, and tweak various settings to match your personal trading style.
HTF FVG
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) can also be drawn on the HTF candles themselves, enabling you to spot key liquidity or interest zones at a glance, without switching between timeframes.
Additionally, you can view all significant historical HTF highs and lows, with demarcation lines showing where each HTF candle begins and ends.
All these options let you tailor the HTF candle display on your chart and monitor multiple timeframes’ trends in a single view.
📶 INFO PANEL
Instrument: the market symbol on which the model is detected
Fractal Timeframes: the LTF and HTF fractal periods used to locate the pattern
HTF Candle Countdown: the time remaining until the higher-timeframe candle closes
Trade Direction: the direction (Long or Short) in which the model is searched for entry
🔔 ALERT CUSTOMIZATION
And, of course, you can configure any alerts you need. There are seven alert types available:
Confirmed Entry Model 1
Unconfirmed Entry Model 1
Confirmed Entry Model 2
Confirmed Entry Model 3
Entry Area 1 Trigger
Entry Area 2 Trigger
Entry Area 3 Trigger
You also get a custom macro field where you can enter any placeholders to fully personalize your alerts. Below are example macros you can use in that field.

✅ USAGE EXAMPLES
Now I’ll demonstrate several ways to apply this indicator across different trading strategies.
Primarily, it’s most effective within the Smart Money framework - where liquidity and manipulation are the core focus - so it integrates seamlessly into your SMC-based approach.
However, it can also be employed in other strategies, such as classic technical analysis or Elliott Wave, to capitalize on reversal points on the chart.
Example 1
The first example illustrates forming a downtrend using a Smart Money strategy. After the market structure shifts and the first BOS is broken, we begin looking for a short entry.
Once Entry Model 1 is established, a Fair Value Gap appears, which we use as our position-entry zone. The nearest target becomes the newly formed BOS level.
In this trade, it was crucial to wait for a strong downtrend to develop before hunting for entries. Therefore, we waited for the first BOS to break and entered the trade to ride the continuation of the downtrend down to the next BOS level.
Example 2
The next example illustrates a downtrend developing with a Fair Value Gap on the 1-hour timeframe. The FVG is also displayed directly on the HTF candles in the chart.
The pattern forms within the HTF Fair Value Gap, indicating that we can balance this inefficiency and ride the continuation of the downtrend.
The target can simply be a 1:2 or 1:3 risk–reward ratio, as in our case.
📌 CONCLUSION
These two examples illustrate how this indicator can be used to identify reversals or trend continuations. In truth, there are countless ways to incorporate this tool, and each trader can adapt the model to fit their own strategy.
Always remember to rely on your own analysis and only enter trades when you feel confident in them.

Dynamic Trade Signal Validator (DTSV)The Dynamic Trade Signal Validator (DTSV) is designed to filter false trade signals while generating reliable, frequent trade opportunities. False signals, which lead to unprofitable trades, often occur in choppy or low-momentum markets. The DTSV combines Hull Moving Average (HMA) crossovers, Average True Range (ATR) breakout confirmation, and MACD histogram momentum filtering to ensure signals align with trend, volatility, and momentum, making it ideal for day trading or swing trading across assets like stocks, forex, or cryptocurrencies.
How It Works
The DTSV uses three components to validate trade signals, balancing frequency and reliability:
HMA Crossover for Trend Direction:
Two HMAs (default: 9-period fast, 21-period slow) detect trend changes. A buy signal triggers when the fast HMA crosses above the slow HMA (bullish), and a sell signal when it crosses below (bearish). HMAs reduce lag compared to traditional MAs, enabling more responsive trend detection.
ATR Breakout Confirmation:
The 14-period ATR ensures significant price movement by requiring the bar’s range (high minus low) to exceed the ATR multiplied by 1.0 (adjustable). This confirms volatility, reducing false signals in stagnant markets.
MACD Histogram Momentum Filter:
The MACD (default: 12, 26, 9) histogram confirms momentum. Buy signals require a positive histogram (bullish momentum), and sell signals need a negative histogram (bearish momentum), ensuring directional strength.
Signal Generation
Buy signals (green triangles below bars) occur when a bullish HMA crossover, ATR breakout, and positive MACD histogram align. Sell signals (red triangles above bars) require a bearish crossover, ATR breakout, and negative histogram. This triple confirmation minimizes false trades while maintaining frequent signals.

It’s time to take the guesswork out of moving averages and multiple timeframes when day trading. Moving averages are a cornerstone of many trading strategies, often viewed as dynamic support and resistance levels. Traders rely on these levels to anticipate price reactions, whether it’s a bounce in a trending market or a reversal in a ranging one. Additionally, the direction and alignment of multi timeframe moving averages—whether they’re moving in the same direction or diverging—provide critical clues about market momentum and potential reversals. However, the traditional higher timeframe moving average indicators force traders to wait for higher timeframe candles to close, creating lag and missed opportunities.
The Old Way
For example: If you are on a 5 minute chart and you want to observe the location and direction of a 30 minute chart Moving Average, you'll need to wait for a total of 6 candles to close, and again every 6 candles after that. This only creates more lag.
The New Way
Now there is no waiting for high timeframe session candles to close. No matter what timeframe Moving Average you want to know about, this indicator will show you its location on your current chart at any time in real time.
For those who prefer Bollinger Bands, this indicator adds a whole new dimension to your strategy. Traders often wait for price action to break outside the lower time frame Bollinger bands before considering a trade, while still seeking key support or resistance levels beyond them. But if you don't know the position of your higher time frame Bollinger, you could be trading into a trap. With Zero Lag Multi Timeframe Moving Average, you can view both your current and higher timeframe Bollinger Bands simultaneously with zero waiting. This lets you instantly see when price action is traveling between the bands of either timeframe or breaking through both—indicating a strong trend in that direction. Additionally, when both sets of Bollinger Bands overlap at the same price levels, it highlights areas of strong consolidation and ranging conditions, giving you a clear picture of market dynamics. This is a key element in price action that tells you there is currently no direction to the market and both the current and higher time frames are flat.
Enter Zero Lag Multi Timeframe Moving Average—the ultimate tool for real-time higher timeframe moving averages and Bollinger Bands. This innovative indicator eliminates the delay, delivering instant, precise values for higher timeframe averages and bands, even on open candles. Seamlessly combining current and higher timeframe data, it allows traders to identify key moments where moving averages or Bollinger Bands align or diverge, signaling market conditions. Whether you’re gauging the strength of a trend, pinpointing potential reversals, or identifying consolidation zones, Zero Lag Multi Timeframe Moving Average gives you the clarity needed to make better trading decisions according to market conditions.
Why is this "Mashup" of moving averages different and important?
Honestly its really about the calculation thats imported through the "import library" function.
Heres what it does:
The ZLMTF-MA is designed to help traders easily see where higher timeframe moving averages and Bollinger Bands are—without needing to switch chart timeframes or wait for those larger candles to close. It works by adjusting common moving average types like SMA, EMA, and VWMA to show what they would look like if they were based on a higher timeframe, right on your current chart. This helps users stay focused on their main timeframe while still having a clear view of the bigger picture, making it easier to spot trend direction, key support and resistance levels, and overall market structure. The goal is to keep things simple, fast, and more visually informative for everyday traders.
Bollinger Bands
When working with Bollinger Bands, a common strategy is to take the trades once price action has escaped through the top or bottom of your current Bollinger Band.
A false breakout occurs when both Bollinger Bands are not moving in the same direction as eachother or when they are overlapping.
Moving Averages as Support and Resistance:
Traders who use Moving Averages as support or resistance, looking for rejections or failures of these areas can now see multiple timeframe price action instantly and simultaneously.
Trading Setup Examples:
Price Action Scenario 1:
Higher Timeframe Ranging-
When price action breaks through a current moving average headed toward a higher timeframe moving average, trades are taken with caution if the moving averages are converging.
Price Action Scenario 2:
Strong Trending Market -
If the moving averages are in the same direction, and your price action is now leading the low timeframe moving average, you have re-entered a strong trend.
Price Action Scenario 3:
High Timeframe Rejections -
If you have a rejection of a higher timeframe moving average, and your both averages are still diverging, this is the end of a pullback as you re-enter a strong trend in the original direction
Price Action Scenario 4:
Trend Reversals -
If you close beyond both the low and high timeframe moving averages, you can consider that price action is strong enough to change direction here and you should prepare for trade setups in the opposite direction of the previous.
HTF MA Label Information:
Even if your high timeframe moving average is turned off, you can still see this label.
It gives you a quick reminder of what high timeframe settings you have used to see MA values.
