Orderblocks
Order Blocks Finder By DrewAn Order Block is a technical analysis technique that tracks the accumulation of orders (when bullish) and distribution of orders (when bearish) of banks and institutional traders. In other words, it is an area or an indication of where big institutions would pile up their orders to enter the market – their order blocks.
If you know how order blocks works and know how to trade via order blocks, then this indicator will help you in finding order blocks by itself which you don't need to worry about finding any.
For settings, I personally use Box Length as 10 and Box Transparency 80. Hope this helps! Feel free to drop a comment for any questions :)
Would appreciate you all if you can LIKE and FAVOURITE this indicator.
[VC] Effort & Result Index V1.0V.C. Effort & Result Index draws the Price change, Volume, Delta & Delta % as a histogram. On the positive side of the histogram, it marks the price change & on the negative side of the histogram, it marks volume, delta & delta %. And the best part of the indicator is that it allows you to see all the mentioned data types simultaneously.
See the below chart for a comprehensive understanding.
Before moving further, understand the below analogy first.
Volume & Delta = Fule or Effort
Price Movement = Result
Think of Volume & Delta as FULE or EFFORT and Price Movement as Result.
If the price travels a significant distance with less fule & effort, it indicates that no barriers or inverse forces are stopping the price movement.
On the other hand, if the price is travelling a less distance & consuming comparatively more fule & effort, it indicates some barriers or inverse forces stopping the price movement.
V.C. Effort & Result Index empowers you to read, compare & analyse Volume, Delta & Price effortlessly. It helps to measure the relative price change in different combinations. Such as, you can compare the price change with total volume, delta volume & delta percentage.
See the below relative comparison analysis by using Price Change, Volume Change & Delta Change.
In the above example, you can see that on candle A, there is a very significant price move with a small volume & delta. But on the next candle B, there is a minor price move compared to the previous candle A, but the volume is relatively high & delta is almost the same. In simple words, the same effort was applied to candle B but got fewer results than candle A. It indicates that buyers applied the same effort but failed to get the same results. It reveals that sellers are taking control, leading to a trend reversal.
This comparative analysis method & approach can add an extra edge to your analysis spacially on key levels & breakouts.
V.C Effort & Result Index Settings & Inputs
Price Change:
Allow you to show/hide the price change bars on the positive side of the histogram.
Volume:
Allow you to show/hide the total volume on the negative side of the histogram.
Delta%:
Allow you to show/hide the delta % on the negative side of the histogram.
Delta:
Allow you to show/hide the delta on the negative side of the histogram.
Style Settings
The Style section allows you to change the colors & the view format of all data types.
Disclaimer Note:
V.C Effort & Result Index is not a BUY/SELL signal based indicator or a holy grail trading system.
It is purely Volume, Delta, Demand & Supply imbalance and comparative analysis based tool kit. Before applying this indicator to your analysis, you should know about Volume, Delta & Spread, and Demand & Supply.
Some basic understanding of Sir Richerd Wyckoff's Theory can also be helpful.
[VC] Box Chart Histogram V1.0V.C Box Chart Histogram draws the cumulative delta that correlates to another indicator named ''V.C Box Chart Index'' .
(In other words, ''V.C Box Chart Histogram'' & ''V.C Box Chart Index'' are correlated.)
V.C Box Chart Histogram draws the cumulative delta as histogram based on ''V.C Box Chart Index''. Combining these two indicators empowers you to see the cumulative demand & supply / cumulative buying & selling quantity of each box.
You can also switch from cumulative delta mode to cumulative delta % from input settings. See the difference between simple delta & delta % mode from these examples.
Simple Delta Mode (Cumulative Demand & Supply)
In the above example, green & red boxes on the histogram show the cumulative delta of each box from the main chart. In simple words, these boxes show the cumulative net demand & supply of the corresponding box from the main chart. In this example, Big green boxes indicate demand is increasing, whereas small red boxes indicate that supply is decreasing.
Delta % Mode (Cumulative Volume-Weighted Demand & Supply)
Similar to the simple delta mode, in the above example, blue & red boxes on the histogram show the cumulative delta % of each box from the main chart. In simple words, these boxes show the cumulative & volume-weighted demand & supply of the corresponding box from the main chart.
In this example, Big blue boxes indicate that demand is increasing, whereas small red boxes indicate that supply is decreasing.

Order Block and Daily Levels VTRENDThe Order Block and Daily Levels is my first script designed to add context with order blocks to how i trade.
I have included a volume weighted band in green, as it's use is core to my trading style. I have often found however, there needs to be more clarify in structure which some of my previous scripts did not provide, so i have coded up some custom order blocks, which can be altered along the lines of how sensitive they are.
There is also a high time frame volume average line to combine the green volume weighted band to identify a bullish or bearish trend.
The other key change I am experimenting with, is trading off the daily levels, this is reflected here with a change is barcolor, above or below the daily level and a 'cross' symbol.
Included are 'chance of reversal' diamonds.
You can see here with the trend, volume and structure information given, there is a clearer idea of where price might head to next. Combine this with yur own levels too.
This can be useful on low time frames too.
So far I have experimented with this script on the 4/2/1 hour and 25 / 5 minutes
RelicusRoad - Support and ResistanceWe bring you dynamically created fundamental support and resistance analysis required for any instrument a trader trades.
Support & Resistance Concept
The concepts of trading level support and resistance are undoubtedly two of the most highly discussed attributes of technical analysis . As part of analyzing chart patterns, these terms are used by traders to refer to price levels on charts that tend to act as barriers, preventing the price of an asset from getting pushed in a certain direction.
At first, the explanation and idea behind identifying these levels seem easy, but as you'll find out, support and resistance can come in various forms, and the concept is more difficult to master than it first appears, this is where RelicusRoad - Support and Resistance comes in and draws them for you.
Technical analysts use support and resistance levels to identify price points on a chart where the probabilities favor a pause or reversal of a prevailing trend.
Support occurs where a downtrend is expected to pause due to a concentration of demand.
Resistance occurs where an uptrend is expected to pause temporarily, due to a concentration of supply.
Market psychology plays a major role as traders and investors remember the past and react to changing conditions to anticipate future market movement.
Support and resistance areas can be identified on charts using trendlines and moving averages.
OrderBlocks [SignalCave]The OrderBlocks indicator is used to find the supply and demand zones that represent the support and resistance.
What it is Demand Zone?
A demand zone is the price area at which the traders usually buy. This area is present below the current price, where the highest buying interest or potential. This means the demand zone has many buyers available due to many buying orders at that level. When the price hits this level, the unfilled orders get completed and bring up the price.
What it is Supply Zone?
A supply zone is the price area at which the traders usually sell. This area is present above the current price, where the highest selling interest or potential. When the price hits this level, the unfilled orders get completed and bring down the price.
OrderBlocks Indicator
OrderBlocks indicator have four main visual output which are active demand zones (green), active supply zones (red), tested zones (yellow) and inactive zones (black).
Active Zones: Once the market structure breakout or breakdown, indicator draws a new zone (green or red). When the price enters in the active zone at the first time, price tends to bounce over it.
Tested Zones: If price touches the active zone but did not close any bar over or below it, indicator marks the tested zone as a yellow color. If the price touches multiple times, zone get weaker and tend to break when the price enters same zone once again.
Inactive Zones: If bar close over or below any active zone then indicator marks it as a black color and it turns an inactive zone afterwards. Inactive zones have less effective price turning points compare to active and tested zones.
Supply and Demand - Order Block - Energy CandlesSupply and Demand - Order Block - Energy Candles
Description
An experimental script, designed as a visual aid, to highlight the last up or down candle before a fractal break. We can assume these candles where the point of origin that generated enough strength to break recent structure. By using them as reference points, traders are expected to follow their own set of rules and mark higher probability supply and demand zones in the area.
How to use:
Expect a potential retest in these areas, and if they fail, a potential retest in the opposite direction. The greater the number of times a zone is tested, the more likely it is to break. A fresh zone that has not yet been tested will have a higher probability of a bounce.
Fractal period and candle break type can be personalised in settings. Can be used on all timeframes (higher the better).
Indicator in use:
Extras:
An option to flip candle colours if current price is above or below them has been added.
Smart Money Concepts(v0.01) - SoldiSmart Money Concepts
We are very pleased to be releasing our latest addition to the Soldi tools, called Smart Money Concepts. What this indicator was built to be is a guideline and tool to help a trader develop the mental mind state of a Smart Money Trader. Picking up on the digital footprints that they might have missed! This is our first iteration of this tool but we have so so much more coming to bring to this tool! So much that we might need to release 2 scripts to be able to efficiently fit it all in. As always Soldi/MMCFX always try to raise the bar on what is possible with PineScript and what advanced concepts we can bring to the retail market with ease, this project was insanely fun trying to get together and we spent a lot of months talking with and doing sessions with very well versed traders who only specialize and solely trade live with Smart Money/ICT Concepts. After many months of talking with and working with these traders we believe we have put together a very unique tool that any SMC trader would love to have in their tool belt.
What is Smart Money Concepts?
Smart Money Concepts (SMC) is the practice of trying to track the digital footprints left by Market Makers and large money traders like Institutional bodies and brokers. I believe this concept was originally developed by Inner Circle Trading (ICT), who has some great great content for free on YouTube. To my knowledge he was the father of the concepts being taken mainstream to retail individuals. Since then, there has been many other who have released content on these theories. For the sake of congruency we have only developed these tools based off the knowledge and practices taught by ICT.
What is Included within this tool?
What is currently Included with this tool are the following.
Market Structure - This includes Break of Structures (BOS) and Change of Characters (CHoCH), It was really important for us to define the different shifts that SMC traders track and follow so we built a unique customizable system that allows the traders to track these Market Structure shifts in real-time. Part of this module includes the option to plot the High/Low labels, by putting this settings on you will mark out the swing points as their respective Higher High(HH), High Low(HL), Lower Low(LL) and Lower High(LH) . This feature is a great way to help familiarize yourself with spotting these instances, there is a slight lag due to the nature of the calculations for tracking the Swing Points. By default we track 4 left bars and 4 right bars, on the 5th bar if the swing point returns true you will see the label plot itself. If you have a higher bar count you will need to wait till x+1 to see the label be plotted. eg. 7 bar count on the left and right, you will need to wait till the 8th bar to see the label be plotted.
By changing the bar counts you also change how the Market Structure module picks up the Market shifts (BOS/CHoCH)
4 bar left, 4 bar right example:
7 bar left, 7 bar right example:
Liquidity Sweep - This part of the Market Structure module is still being worked on and built out, this feature is meant to help a trader identify potential liquidity sweeps that have taken place past or present by switching the bar color to the user defined color (default yellow). There are many different types of liquidity sweeps that can take place and we are still working on the different profiles of these! More profiles will be added to the the updates in the future to help identify these potential trade areas
Liquidity Sweep example:
Trend Bars - This part of the Market Structure module helps traders identify structure trends based on the breaks of existing structure. Again this will shift as you play with the bar count settings, low bar count will identify faster swing points and shifts where as higher bar counts will identify longer term structures. By having this setting on it will change the bar colors to Red(Bearish) or Blue(Bullish) by default, we recommend to change your candles border settings to make this more visible.
7 bar left, 7 bar right. With High Low Labels and Trend Bars
Fair Value Gaps - This module will track the Fair Value Gaps and Imbalances that will take place in real-time. Once the final candle closes it will plot the FVG. Unlike other FVG indicators on TradingView we hold and store ALL the FVG's that take place, other indicators will only hold on to x amount of the FVG's and as new ones enter the list the old ones get bumped out. We didn't like this idea, so what we did was instead store all of the FVG's but create a threshold to where they would be plotted, eg. if you set the threshold to 4% it will only show you the FVG's within a 4% range from the current price. This way you still have access to all the data with out compromising but it helps you focus on the current data at hand.
Fair Value Gap/Imbalance - 3% threshold example
Fair Value Gap/Imbalance - 8% threshold example
Order Blocks - This was an especially interesting module to build, just like the FVG's we found that a lot if not all the authors on TradingView haven't actually been coming close to tracking and plotting true ICT style Order blocks. We set out to change that though, again through a unique approach we have built this Order Block indicator. To also comment on the other scripts out there that claim to track Order Blocks, not a SINGLE script mentions anything about Validated Order Blocks , which was especially important to all the SMC traders I have talked to and had help from building this indicator. Just like the FVG piece this also has a 'threshold' plot, but not only that it gives you the option to look at "No Validation" and "Validated" Order Blocks. With soon another style of Validation to choose from. If you choose the "Validated" option the script will actively seek Order Blocks that have a POI/liquidity sitting above it. I also want to make it clear that based on your bar count settings the order blocks will differ, as they are also based from structure breaks!
Order Blocks with "No Validation" example
Order Blocks with "Validation" example
Advanced Session Tracking - We always seek to out do what has been done and what we have already done, that being said we built our Advanced Session Tracking module to follow each user define Session's Open, High, Low, Close, Liquidity threshold and extend that into the next session . As per our last KillZone indicator we also included the Forward Plotting feature which will plot the defined sessions 24 hours in advance vs only showing you real time. Many if not all Session tracking tools on TradingView only show you real-time and in the past when the define sessions are but we find that to be a very silly practice because as SMC traders you know how important it is the relation between time and price. Instead of reacting to the sessions you and prepare for the sessions ahead of time anticipating when price might react to time.
note: There is a small bug with tracking the crypto based sessions, this is working to be fixed for the next update, check the release notes to see when the fix occurs
Session Background plots with forward plotting example
Session Backgrounds with High/Lows and Liquidity range example
What is to come with the updates?
We are always looking to improve anything, even if it is just a fraction better. That is why we are continuing to work with our SMC traders to refine the concepts, profiles, coding as well as the logic behind the calculations.
Here is a list of what we are planning and working on to be released in the updates to come!
Intra-Day Profiling - Each day has a profile, what we want to achieve is to track and predict these profiles
Liquidity Scanner - There are different types of liquidity that form and we want to be able to find and track these
Smart Trend Alerts - We want to combine quant methods into SMC to provide high probability trade ideas
User Suggestions - We are always open to work with the community to bring features they want

Super OrderBlock / FVG / BoS Tools by makuchaku & eFeThis super indicator is a Swiss army knife for Smart Money traders for OrderBlocks / FVG / BoS
It provides many options for drawing (non-repainting) boxes for OrderBlocks, Fair Value Gaps (FVG) and Break of Structures. The boxes are extended into the future, until the first retest/mitigation.
Some of the additional options (not explained in the diagrams above)
PPDD OB : An order block which is formed after interacting with Liquidity (old low/high, fractal low/high, etc). Since these OB's are in the most premium or most discount, they are Premium Premium Discount Discount OB's (PPDD OB)
HVB Bars : When the volume of any bar is higher than the average volume of last N bars, it could mean something important (in the right context). Hence, the indicator allows for coloring them differently.
This indicator was built as a collaboration between @makuchaku & eFe
Pro tip : This indicator is a simply a tool to visualize trading concepts on the candle stick chart. It is the job of the trader to sequence these effectively into a profitable trade.
If you come across any bug or have a question on how to effectively use the indicator, please don't hesitate to ask questions.
Good luck & good trading!

//--------------------- details about smc tool -----------------------//
Order Block:
I) The Order Blocks are NOT DETECTED in REAL TIME!
- A Bullish Order Block is the last red candle BEFORE a subsequent series of green candle
- A Bearish Order Block is the last green candle BEFORE a subsequent series of red candles
The required length of the series is defined by the parameter "Relevant Periods to identify OB" (by default it is set to 5).
This means that the earliest an Order Block can be identified with these settings is 5 candles AFTER it has occurred!
As a result of this....
II) The identified Order Blocks (and therefore also the Alerts) are not BUY or SELL signals!
As I have mentioned in the description before, these identified Order Blocks rather show "Areas of Interest" on the chart where there is an increased probability that the price will revisit these levels at one point in the future (but no guarantee of course!).
III) ....and YES, it REPAINTS....by definition!
A "repainting" indicator is changing signals in the past. As according to the defined logic an Order Block can only be identified AFTER future conditions are met, it will of course "repaint" the signal into the chart only after at least the relevant period has elapsed - the same applies to the Alerts. If you intend to complain about this "repainting", then I am sorry to say that you did not understand what this is used for and I advise you not to use this indicator. I would then advise you to first read a bit about Institutional Order Flow.
IV) This is not the "Perfect Indicator".....
When you look at the historical performance on the chart, it looks like that the Indicator ALWAYS called a perfect entry! But due to the definition of the logic and due to the delay/repainting, this is misleading if you do not understand how it is supposed to work. So please make sure that you REALLY understand it before you use it - I tried to be very clear in my explanations.
Double Zig Zag:
Here Double Zig Zag with HHLL script is with you. it calculates 2 Zig Zag simultaneously and draws them, and also it calculates and puts Higher High, Lower Low, Higher Low, Lower High labels. All these are done dynamically, it means last HH/HL/LL/LH can change. if price continues to go up then HL can turn to LL or if price continues to go down then LH can turn to HH. This script can be used for different purposes such trend analysis, support/resistance levels, breakouts etc.
I tried to make many things optional:
You can set Periods for Zig Zags as you wish
You can set different colors for both Zig Zag Up/Down lines
You have option to show both Zig Zag , one of them or none them
You have option to show both HHLL, one of them or none them
You can set Zig Zag 1 line style as Dashed or Dotted
You can set Line Widths for Zig Zags
Imbalance and Fair Value Gaps
Imbalance and Fair Value Gaps are created when Price moves away in one direction at speed / impulsively.
A gap is created between the first and third candle wick which creates the Imbalance / Fair Value Gap and is sometimes a potential area of where the market could return
making the area a good place to look to trade from or to aim for.
This Imbalance / Fair Value Gap indicator will change the color of the candles where these gaps have been created and also created a Line at the start of the Gap.
Although the candle color will not change, the lines however will be removed when price has closed the Gap making it easier to look for the untouched Imbalance / Fair Value Gaps when opening the charts or changing between timeframes and allowing you to create your potential areas to trade from or areas to target.
You are also able to add a shape on the gaps and change style of lines created along with the width and length.
From the testing I have carried out whilst trading, using more than a 500 bar look back seems to cause issue so this is the max you can set the candle look back.
There are other Imbalance / Fair Value Gap indicators but I just wanted to create one with a few additional options which suited my trading style.
Hope you find it useful and happy safe trading...
Makuchaku's Trade Tools - Order BlocksOrder blocks are a 2 candlestick pattern

Volume Spike Retracement█ OVERVIEW
-Following many people's request to add "Volume" mode again in my "Institutional OrderBlock Pressure" script. I decided to release an improved
and full-fledged script. This will be the last OB/Retracement script I will release as we have explored every possible way to find them.
█ HOW TO INTERPRET?
-The script uses the the 0.5 Pivot and the maximum value set for Volume Length to find 'Peak Volume'. Once these conditions are met,
the script starts creating a Retracement Line.
-By default, the Volume Length value is set to 89, which works well with most Timeframes following the OrderBlocks/Retracements
logic used in my scripts.
-You have the option to set Alerts when the "Volume Spike Limit" is reached or when a Price Crossing with a Line occurs.
█ NOTES
- Yes Alerts appear instantly. Moreover, they are not 'confirmed', you must ALWAYS wait for confirmation before making a choice.
Good Trade everyone and remember, risk management remains the most important!
Supply & Demand / Orderblocks - Multi TimeFrame (@JP7FX)This should easily find the clear BUY to SELL / SELL to BUY candles with imbalance created.
There are options to change the Supply and Demand / OrderBlock CREATION based off the OPEN or WICK imbalance and also the option to DRAW the zones from the OPEN or the WICK.
Will also draw HTF zones with options to change the colour of zones when price has mitigated these areas, zones will be deleted once price has passed through.
Each Zone has the 50% line drawn and will delete when Price has reached - maybe useful for traders who look for 50% mitigation of areas.
When using HTF zones (max of 2) a Timeframe display will show for that zone.
There are many options to change colours and lines etc to suit the layout you prefer.
The zones that are created are not to trade from without additional analysis its simply to help draw strong zones.
Hope this provide some help and Trade Safe :)
Next-Gen Engulfing Retracement█ OVERVIEW
If you follow my work closely, you know my obsession with OrderBlocks and Retracements. We will reuse the same logic,
but using candle engulfments and candle engulfment reversals. It is the latter that we will interpret as OrderBlocks, and candle engulfments as
buy or sell signals.Instead of using the price and the average of the candles, here we prefer to use 4 exponential moving averages over 4 different
periods with a true range for detecting volatility and determining if a candle should be considered engulfed or not.
(note : if you know the principle of candle engulfment you should know that a bullish engulfment does not necessarily mean a buy signal).
█ HOW TO INTERPRET?
1 • We use last detected 'Bearish/Bullish Reversal Engulfing Candle' as an Retracement Level.
(Keep in mind Historical Retracements with extended lines is still useful and can still have an impact on the actual trend).
2 • We use 'Bearish/Bullish Candle' as confirmation of entry point.
3 • You can play with the 'Maximum Volatility' value or the 'True Range' Multiplier value to filter detected engulfing as you want.
4 • HTF and Auto HTF option available.
5 • Everything is customizable in settings (show inputs, colors, lines size etc...)
6 • Alerts is available for Engulfing Candle and Crossing Lines.
█ NOTES
- This script is not beginner's Level and is intended for Traders with advanced knowledge of Candlestick Patterns and the work of Michael j. Huddleston on the OrderBlocks.
Good Trade everyone and remember, risk management remains the most important!
ZigZag OrderBlock Retracement█ INTRODUCTION
What is an OrderBlock? It is simply Price where Banks (or Large Financial Entities) have Bought or Sold heavily (Support or Resistance Institutional Zone).
Our job as a trader is to monitor what the Banks and/or Large Investors are doing then patiently wait and have the opportunity to surf in their direction.
Large Financial Entities Buy during Price drops to get the best purchase Price. The Bank are acting a bit like us in our everyday life,
When we want Buying something, we always try to Buy it at the best price. And when we Sell, take the example of a used Car, we will systematically
try to Sell it at the highest possible Price. The Price of convertible Cars goes down during the Winter and goes up during the Summer.
So to make the best operation, if you Buy a second-hand convertible you will prefer to Buy it during the Winter and Sell it immediately in the Summer
and not Vice versa. So the way Large Institution act is exactly the same, it will expect the Price to Buy the fall and they will wait until
the Price rises in order to Sell. This is how the Profits will be made. The mistake that many Traders makes when they Trade emotionally is to act
in the opposite way of what they will do in everyday life. When we trade emotionally, we see the Price fall, instead of Buying while the Price drops we Sell.
In a similar emotional based act when the Price goes up we Buy, while when the Price goes up it's the best opportunity to Sell. So all the big moves
that you can watch on your different Instruments are the result of Banks or other Large Financial Entities. As Individuals, we do not have the necessary
“Strike Force” to create this type of movement. However, it is important to note that when Banks or Large Entities create this type of movement,
they do so despite theirs willing, they would love to be able to hide but luckily for us they can’t. When Billions of Dollars are Invested in Trades,
the effect can’t be concealed and as a result we will observe the impact on the market then as an Individual we’ll be able to see that on our Charts.
There are many ways to locate these areas of interest. But as they say, all roads lead to Rome. The purpose remains the Price Study
and in particular the movements of strong amplitude on the Chart. Large Financial Entities will keep acting in the same Price areas, Or at least we can say
that there's a high probability for them to intervene in these zones. Therefore, rather than chasing the Price moves and then to endure a counter move,
we will patiently wait until the Price returns to these areas on the basis that Banks and, or Large Entities will accumulate on their Positions
and are going to Sell and Buy in the same Price areas. Keep in mind that this logic works no matter what TimeFrame is used. However when the have Analysis
on Small TimeFrame (between M15 and H1) will make the movements observed between 20 and 50 Pips. Whereas if we look at H4 or Daily,
we can really see movements of 100 or even 200 Pips.
█ OVERVIEW
The ZigZag Indicator is used to illustrate Trend Lines without taking into account intermediate Retracements.
In a way, it allows you to get to the point by giving a simplified view of the evolution of Prices by eliminating "parasitic" movements, and thus to Position
and unwind Positions at the appropriate times. It is part of the category of Trend Indicators. We will simply define a Level of Price variation below which
they will not be taken into account by the indicator. This will eliminate all minor fluctuations, depending on the desired sensitivity.
The Indicator can only have 2 directions, Up or Down. For example, setting the Indicator to 5% (ZigZag Length ) will eliminate all variations below 5%.
If the Trend is Bullish and the Indicator therefore oriented in the same direction, Prices will have to fall by at least 5% for the direction
of the ZigZag to reverse Downward. Why using ZigZag to search for our OrderBlock? ZigZag makes it possible to clearly identify the current Trend as well
as significant Reversals and therefore have a much clearer vision of the actions carried out by Banks / Large Entities. However, it is drawn up
a posteriori and therefore does not make it possible to predict the evolution of Prices. The turning points are Indicated with a delay proportional
to the chosen sensitivity. The indicator calculates the Lowest Price over the given Period and eliminates Prices that are below the minimum requested
Array Size. Then, it calculates the Highest Price over the given Period and eliminates the Prices that are below the minimum requested Array Size.
Finally, it draws the Trend Line that connects the High and Low points determined previously and use the sum of the two to determinate the Range area.
█ HOW TO INTERPRET?
• The Indicator creates Lines that demonstrate past Retracements and current Pivots Levels to get a clearer view of the next Retracement area
using the Lines from the Last High and Low Pivots to determine which Take-Profit or Stop-Loss set.
• The "OrderBlocks" are detected based on the Pivots founds. You can display the Prices and use theses to help you set your Take-Profit during Retracement.
• Possibility to display the Levels of detected Pivots point. This can permit to dispense with the use of Elliot Waves or the use of a Fibonacci.
• Donchian ZigZag Channels to be sure to always have seen the extremities of the Top, Bottom and Range area.
• The ZigZag Length is set to 5 by default. You will have to adjust it according to selected TimeFrame or Financial Instrument used.
• The ZigZag has 3 adjustable colors:

█ ALERTS
Following the request of many users on our other script concerning the late arrival of Alerts for detected OrderBlocks (on Institutional OrderBlock Pressure), we fixed this problem here with the arrival INSTAN and CONFIRM ALERTS .
█ NOTES
- This script is not beginner's Level and is intended for Traders with advanced knowledge of ZigZag and the work of Michael j. Huddleston on the OrderBlocks.
Good Trade everyone and remember, risk management remains the most important!
Order Blocks with signalsIn order to trade the order blocks effectively, you have to look for an area on the price chart where the price had a large move. This script automatically draws the order blocks for you, so you don't have to.
Blue OB (supply): search for short opportunities
Green OB (demand): search for long opportunities
Please be aware: Do not buy and sell from every order block.
You can set two types of alerts:
- Buy
- Sell
Some short information about order blocks:
Order blocks are huge institutional buy or sell orders placed over a particular period. During these, the institutional players are looking to build up their positions in the markets.
Higher order Orderblocks + Breakerblocks + Range + AlertsThis script identifies Orderblocks, Breakerblocks and Range using higher order pivots and priceaction logic.
I tried to reduce the number of blocks to make the chart cleaner, for this purpose I use only second order pivots for both MSB lines and supply/demand boxes, I also tried to filter out shifts in MS and false breakouts.
Any box has GRAY color until it gets tested.
After successful test box gets colors:
RED for Supply
GREEN for Demand
BLUE for any Breakerblocks
For cleaner chart and script speed all broken boxes deletes from chart.
It gives comparatively clean chart on any TF, even on extra small (5m, 3m, 1m).
For Range there is option to plot 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 lines.
I usually use log scale on charts and there is an option to use it for proper range mean.
In previous my scripts i have requests to make alerts and this time i made it.
It has customizable alert catching all needed alerts into one output:
- Alert MSB - when market structure changes alert will inform you about its direction, MSB line and new Demand/Supply.
- Alert Orderblock or Breakerblock test - alerts when block was tested and it holds (in other words when it get RED/GREEN/BLUE colors)
- Alert New Range - when new range detected
- Alert Range test - alerts when range top or botoom was tested and it holds.
some examples :
AG FX - Pivot PointsPivot Points High Low
Definition
The Pivot Points High Low indicator is used to determine and anticipate potential changes in market price and reversals. The Highs referred to in the title are created based on the number of bars that exhibit lower highs on either side of a Pivot Point High, whereas the Lows are created based on the number of bars that exhibit higher lows on either side of a Pivot Point Low.
Calculations
As mentioned above, Pivot Point Highs are calculated by the number of bars with lower highs on either side of a Pivot Point High calculation. Similarly, Pivot Point Lows are calculated by the number of bars with higher lows on either side of a Pivot Point Low calculation.
Takeaways and what to look for
A Pivot Point is more significant or noteworthy if the trend is extended or longer than average. This can mean if a trader selects a higher period for before and after the Pivot Point, the trend could be longer and therefore prove the Pivot Point itself more notable.
Additionally, Pivot Points can help a trader assess where would be best to draw. By analyzing price changes and reversals, a trader has more of an ability to determine and predict price patterns and general price trends.
Summary
The Pivot Points High Low indicator can predict and determine price changes and potential reversals in the market. Pivot Points can also help traders identify price patterns and trends, depending on the period and significance of the Pivot Point value.
Order BlocksThis script analyses candle stick patterns and draws order blocks in real time, it is designed to be very easy to use and works on all markets.
With a simple sensitivity configuration to control the range of candles in scope for analysis, the order blocks are automatically drawn and removed in real time if price action closes through an order block.
MTF Order Block FinderAn Order Block is a special type of pivot point that satisfies the following requirement:
A Bull/Bear candle followed by X consecutive candles in the opposite direction.
Order Blocks are interesting areas that are frequently revisited and can be treated as Support/Resistance levels.
Often, you can see explosive price rejection of these areas via long wicks, high volume, and rapid price change.
Features
Choose from two themes:
- LIGHT: a classic Red and Green representing Bearish and Bullish OBs, respectively
- DARK: a clean Blue and White scheme
Choose from two drawing styles:
- LINE: three lines representing the High, Low, and Mid price levels of the OB candle
- BOX: a bounded area similar to the "rectangle" tool
Chose a custom timeframe:
- From 1 Minute (useful for Seconds interval) up to 1 Month
Note, this setting is experimental and choosing a timeframe that is extraordinarily large may not function properly.
Filter order blocks with two settings:
- Number of consecutive bars
- Minimum % change of the potential OB bar (default 0.25%)
Keep your charts clean and show only relevant OBs
- Maximum number of Bullish zones to show
- Maximum number of Bearish zones to show
FAQ
Q: How do I trade with this indicator?
A:Personally, I use a fast entry indicator to confirm Long/Short position when price is rejected. I set my SL and TP based on the current Zone and the next one, if available.
Q: Does this repaint?
A:Yes and this is okay! The "Bear" and "Bull" signals are not meant for taking positions, only showing which candle reveals the Order Block. The Zone is much more useful to us and can result in several successful trades in the near future when treated as a support/resistance area.
Q What's the winrate?
A:Hard to say - this isn't a standalone strategy and I haven't been able to properly backtest it quite yet.

How Does It Work?
The algorithm tracks key pivot points within market data and when these are broken by price movements it provides key information to the user such as when it broke structure, where it broke structure and what levels are now considered support and resistance.
Trend Bar Colouring
The trend bar colouring feature provides a clear visual indication of the market trend by colouring candles red or green depending on the last break in market structure.
Market Structure Breaks
Breaks in market structure are displayed with a single line between two candles, this indicates that there may have been a shift in market trend.
Order Block Levels
Once structure breaks it creates support and resistance levels which can help in trade entries and deciding on take profit targets; these are displayed in real-time with colour coded boxes at either the support or resistance levels. If a level has been broken it is automatically removed from the chart to give a clear representation of the current market state.
