Auto TrendLines [TradingFinder] Support Resistance Signal Alerts🔵 Introduction
The trendline is one of the most essential tools in technical analysis, widely used in financial markets such as Forex, cryptocurrency, and stocks. A trendline is a straight line that connects swing highs or swing lows and visually indicates the market’s trend direction.
Traders use trendlines to identify price structure, the strength of buyers and sellers, dynamic support and resistance zones, and optimal entry and exit points.
In technical analysis, trendlines are typically classified into three categories: uptrend lines (drawn by connecting higher lows), downtrend lines (formed by connecting lower highs), and sideways trends (moving horizontally). A valid trendline usually requires at least three confirmed touchpoints to be considered reliable for trading decisions.
Trendlines can serve as the foundation for a variety of trading strategies, such as the trendline bounce strategy, valid breakout setups, and confluence-based analysis with other tools like candlestick patterns, divergences, moving averages, and Fibonacci levels.
Additionally, trendlines are categorized into internal and external, and further into major and minor levels, each serving unique roles in market structure analysis.
🔵 How to Use
Trendlines are a key component in technical analysis, used to identify market direction, define dynamic support and resistance zones, highlight strategic entry and exit points, and manage risk. For a trendline to be reliable, it must be drawn based on structural principles—not by simply connecting two arbitrary points.
🟣 Selecting Pivot Types Based on Trend Direction
The first step is to determine the market trend: uptrend, downtrend, or sideways.
Then, choose pivot points that match the trend type :
In an uptrend, trendlines are drawn by connecting low pivots, especially higher lows.
In a downtrend, trendlines are formed by connecting high pivots, specifically lower highs.
It is crucial to connect pivots of the same type and structure to ensure the trendline is valid and analytically sound.
🟣 Pivot Classification
This indicator automatically classifies pivot points into two categories :
Major Pivots :
MLL : Major Lower Low
MHL : Major Higher Low
MHH : Major Higher High
MLH : Major Lower High
These define the primary structure of the market and are typically used in broader structural analysis.
Minor Pivots :
mLL: minor Lower Low
mHL: minor Higher Low
mHH: minor Higher High
mLH: minor Lower High
These are used for drawing more precise trendlines within corrective waves or internal price movements.
Example : In a downtrend, drawing a trendline from an MHH to an mHH creates structural inconsistency and introduces noise. Instead, connect points like MHL to MHL or mLH to mLH for a valid trendline.
🟣 Drawing High-Precision Trendlines
To ensure a reliable trendline :
Use pivots of the same classification (Major with Major or Minor with Minor).
Ensure at least three valid contact points (three touches = structural confirmation).
Draw through candles with the least deviation (choose wicks or bodies based on confluence).
Preferably draw from right to left for better alignment with current market behavior.
Use parallel lines to turn a single trendline into a trendline zone, if needed.
🟣 Using Trendlines for Trade Entries
Bounce Entry: When price approaches the trendline and shows signs of reversal (e.g., a reversal candle, divergence, or support/resistance), enter in the direction of the trend with a logical stop-loss.
Breakout Entry: When price breaks through the trendline with strong momentum and a confirmation (such as a retest or break of structure), consider trading in the direction of the breakout.
🟣 Trendline-Based Risk Management
For bounce entries, the stop-loss is placed below the trendline or the last pivot low (in an uptrend).
For breakout entries, the stop-loss is set behind the breakout candle or the last structural level.
A broken trendline can also act as an exit signal from a trade.
🟣 Combining Trendlines with Other Tools (Confluence)
Trendlines gain much more strength when used alongside other analytical tools :
Horizontal support and resistance levels
Moving averages (such as EMA 50 or EMA 200)
Fibonacci retracement zones
Candlestick patterns (e.g., Engulfing, Pin Bar)
RSI or MACD divergences
Market structure breaks (BoS / ChoCH)
🔵 Settings
Pivot Period : This defines how sensitive the pivot detection is. A higher number means the algorithm will identify more significant pivot points, resulting in longer-term trendlines.
Alerts
Alert :
Enable or disable the entire alert system
Set a custom alert name
Choose how often alerts trigger (every time, once per bar, or on bar close)
Select the time zone for alert timestamps (e.g., UTC)
Each trendline type supports two alert types :
Break Alert : Triggered when price breaks the trendline
React Alert : Triggered when price reacts or bounces off the trendline
These alerts can be independently enabled or disabled for all trendline categories (Major/Minor, Internal/External, Up/Down).
Display :
For each of the eight trendline types, you can control :
Whether to show or hide the line
Whether to delete the previous line when a new one is drawn
Color, line style (solid, dashed, dotted), extension direction (e.g., right only), and width
Major lines are typically thicker and more opaque, while minor lines appear thinner and more transparent.
All settings are designed to give the user full control over the appearance, behavior, and alert system of the indicator, without requiring manual drawing or adjustments.
🔵 Conclusion
A trendline is more than just a line on the chart—it is a structural, strategic, and flexible tool in technical analysis that can serve as the foundation for understanding price behavior and making trading decisions. Whether in trending markets or during corrections, trendlines help traders identify market direction, key zones, and high-potential entry and exit points with precision.
The accuracy and effectiveness of a trendline depend on using structurally valid pivot points and adhering to proper market logic, rather than relying on guesswork or personal bias.
This indicator is built to solve that exact problem. It automatically detects and draws multiple types of trendlines based on actual price structure, separating them into Major/Minor and Internal/External categories, and respecting professional analytical principles such as pivot type, trend direction, and structural location.

Columns represent the five BBMA setups: EXT Buy, EXT Sell, CSD, CSM Buy, CSM Sell, RE Buy, RE Sell, and MHV.
Interpreting the Signals
1. EXT (Extreme) Setup
EXT Buy (Green Arrow):
Condition: Price touches or breaks below the BB lower band, closes above it, with high ATR volatility, strong volume, and additional confirmations (e.g., hammer candle, RSI oversold, MACD bullish, MAHI/MALO crossover, or bullish divergence).
Interpretation: A potential reversal buy signal. Look for confirmation in the subplot table (LTF and HTF rows).
Action: Consider a long position if LTF and HTF confirm (✔ in both rows). Use the BB middle or upper band as a target.
EXT Sell (Red Arrow):
Condition: Price touches or breaks above the BB upper band, closes below it, with high ATR volatility, strong volume, and additional confirmations (e.g., shooting star candle, RSI overbought, MACD bearish, MAHI/MALO crossunder, or bearish divergence).
Interpretation: A potential reversal sell signal.
Action: Consider a short position if LTF and HTF confirm. Use the BB middle or lower band as a target.
2. CSD (Consolidation) Setup
CSD (Yellow Diamond):
Condition: BB width is narrow (below its SMA), low ATR volatility, small candles, and no MAHI/MALO crossovers.
Interpretation: The market is consolidating, often preceding a breakout (e.g., MHV).
Action: Avoid trading during CSD unless preparing for an MHV breakout. Monitor the subplot for "Upcoming" MHV signals.
3. CSM (Continuation Setup Movement)
CSM Buy (Teal Arrow):
Condition: Price is above the BB middle, MAHI crossover, MALO crossover or MACD bullish, price above EMA 50, with additional confirmations (e.g., bullish engulfing or MACD bullish).
Interpretation: A continuation buy signal in an uptrend.
Action: Enter a long position if LTF and HTF confirm. Target the BB upper band or recent swing highs.
CSM Sell (Maroon Arrow):
Condition: Price is below the BB middle, MAHI crossunder, MALO crossunder or MACD bearish, price below EMA 50, with additional confirmations (e.g., bearish engulfing or MACD bearish).
Interpretation: A continuation sell signal in a downtrend.
Action: Enter a short position if LTF and HTF confirm. Target the BB lower band or recent swing lows.
4. RE (Re-Entry) Setup
RE Buy (Aqua Arrow):
Condition: Price is between the BB lower and middle bands, MAHI crossover, MALO crossover or MACD bullish, price above EMA 50, with additional confirmations (e.g., bullish engulfing or MACD bullish).
Interpretation: A re-entry buy signal after a pullback in an uptrend.
Action: Enter a long position if LTF and HTF confirm. Target the BB middle or upper band.
RE Sell (Fuchsia Arrow):
Condition: Price is between the BB upper and middle bands, MAHI crossunder, MALO crossunder or MACD bearish, price below EMA 50, with additional confirmations (e.g., bearish engulfing or MACD bearish).
Interpretation: A re-entry sell signal after a pullback in a downtrend.
Action: Enter a short position if LTF and HTF confirm. Target the BB middle or lower band.
5. MHV (Market High Volatility) Setup
MHV (Orange Label):
Condition: Follows a CSD signal, with expanding BB width, high ATR volatility, strong volume, and MAHI/MALO crossover or crossunder.
Interpretation: A breakout signal after consolidation, indicating high volatility and potential for a strong move.
Action: Trade in the direction of the breakout (e.g., buy if MAHI crossover, sell if MAHI crossunder). Confirm with LTF and HTF. Target significant levels like recent swing highs/lows.
6. Multi-Timeframe Confirmation
LTF Confirmation: A checkmark (✔) in the LTF row indicates the signal is also present on the lower timeframe (e.g., 5m). This adds confidence to the trade.
HTF Confirmation: A checkmark (✔) in the HTF row indicates alignment with the higher timeframe trend (e.g., 4h). This confirms the signal's strength.
Strongest Signals: Look for signals with both LTF and HTF confirmations (✔ in both rows). These have the highest probability of success.
7. Upcoming Signals
The CTF row in the subplot table may show "Upcoming" for a setup (e.g., EXT Buy: Upcoming). This indicates the setup is forming but not yet confirmed.
Action: Monitor these setups closely. They may turn "Active" on the next candle if conditions are met.
Trading Tips
Trend Alignment: Use the EMA 50 and market structure (is_uptrend) to ensure trades align with the overall trend. For example, prioritize CSM Buy signals in an uptrend.
Risk Management:
Set stop-losses below recent swing lows (for buys) or above recent swing highs (for sells).
Use the BB middle or opposite band as a target for most setups.

Power Play Signal Indicator [Masky18]Power Play Signal Indicator
The Power Play Signal Indicator is a sophisticated custom trading strategy designed to identify high-probability breakout and breakdown opportunities by combining consolidation detection, trend alignment, volume analysis, and relative strength ranking. Unlike simple mashups of existing indicators, this script integrates multiple technical concepts into a cohesive strategy that helps traders capitalize on market momentum with precision.
What Makes This Indicator Unique?
The PowerPlay Signal Indicator is not just a combination of existing indicators; it is a custom-built strategy that uses original logic to filter out low-probability setups and focus on high-quality trading opportunities. Here’s how it works:
Consolidation Detection:
The script identifies consolidation zones by analyzing price action over a user-defined period (default: 6 bars). It calculates the high, low, and midpoint of the consolidation range and ensures the price stays within a specified percentage range (default: 13%).
Consolidations are classified as Tight, Loose, or Okay, helping traders gauge the strength of the potential breakout or breakdown.
Breakout & Breakdown Logic:
Breakouts and breakdowns are confirmed using a combination of:
Price Action: The script checks if the price closes above the consolidation high (breakout) or below the consolidation low (breakdown).
Volume Analysis: A significant volume spike (default: 20% increase) is required to confirm the move.
MACD & Moving Averages: The script uses MACD and moving averages (50-day and 200-day) to ensure the breakout/breakdown aligns with the prevailing trend.
Trend Alignment:
The script ensures trades are aligned with the long-term trend by using:
50-day SMA and 200-day SMA to confirm uptrends or downtrends.
150-day SMA as an additional filter to ensure the trend is strong.
52-week high/low conditions to ensure the price is in a favorable position relative to its historical range.
Relative Strength Ranking:
The script compares the asset’s performance against a benchmark asset (e.g., SPY) to ensure it is outperforming the market. This is done using a customizable Relative Strength (RS) Threshold (default: 70).
Golden Candle Signals:
For high-probability setups, the script identifies Golden Candles—strong breakout or breakdown candles with:
Large price movement (default: 7.5% to 12.5% candle size).
High volume (default: 2x the average consolidation volume).
Alignment with MACD and moving averages.
Risk Management:
The script provides stop loss, trailing stop, and take profit levels based on:
ATR (Average True Range): Dynamic stop loss levels are calculated using ATR (default: 14-period ATR with a 2x multiplier).
Trailing Stop Percentage: User-defined trailing stop (default: 2%).
Take Profit Percentage: User-defined take profit (default: 5%).
Performance Tracking:
The script includes a Performance Table that tracks:
Total breakouts and breakdowns.
Successful and failed trades.
Win rates for breakouts and breakdowns.
Golden candle signals.
How Does It Work?
The PowerPlay Signal Indicator combines the following key components to generate signals:
Consolidation Detection:
The script calculates the high, low, and midpoint of the consolidation range over a user-defined period.
It ensures the price stays within a specified percentage range (default: 13%) to confirm consolidation.
Breakout/Breakdown Confirmation:
A breakout is confirmed when:
The price closes above the consolidation high.
Volume increases by at least 20%.
MACD is positive and above the signal line.
The price is above the 50-day and 200-day SMAs.
A breakdown is confirmed when:
The price closes below the consolidation low.
Volume increases by at least 20%.
MACD is negative and below the signal line.
The price is below the 50-day and 200-day SMAs.
Golden Candle Signals:
Golden Candles are identified when:
The candle size is between 7.5% and 12.5%.
Volume is at least 2x the average consolidation volume.
The candle aligns with the prevailing trend and MACD.
Risk Management:
Stop loss levels are calculated using ATR (default: 14-period ATR with a 2x multiplier).
Trailing stop and take profit levels are based on user-defined percentages.
How to Use the Indicator
Input Parameters:
Consolidation Periods: Set the number of bars to analyze for consolidation (default: 6).
Maximum Consolidation Range: Define the maximum percentage range for consolidation (default: 13%).
Stop Loss Factor: Adjust the stop loss multiplier based on the midpoint of the consolidation range (default: 0.985).
RS Threshold: Set the relative strength threshold for trend alignment (default: 70).
Comparison Asset: Enable comparison with a benchmark asset (e.g., SPY) to ensure the asset is outperforming the market.
Trailing Stop Percentage: Set the trailing stop percentage (default: 2%).
Take Profit Percentage: Set the take profit percentage (default: 5%).
Time Exit Bars: Define the maximum number of bars to hold a trade (default: 10).

HTF POI [TakingProphets]HTF POI – Higher Timeframe Points of Interest Detection
The HTF POI Indicator by Taking Prophets is designed for traders following ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts and smart money principles. This tool automatically detects higher timeframe (HTF) points of interest (POIs) such as Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), Inverse Fair Value Gaps (IFVGs), and Consequent Encroachment (CE) levels, helping traders spot high-probability trading zones used by institutions.
🔹 Key Features:
✅ Automatic Detection of FVGs & IFVGs – Identifies key price inefficiencies across multiple timeframes.
✅ Multi-Timeframe Analysis – Detect POIs on the current timeframe and up to five higher timeframes (HTF1 to HTF5).
✅ Customizable Sensitivity – Adjust detection settings to High, Medium, or Low based on price gap size.
✅ Fair Value Gap (FVG) Encroachment Lines – Optional midpoint levels to track potential price rebalancing.
✅ Volume Display Option – View volume within detected FVGs for additional confluence.
✅ Inverse Fair Value Gaps (IFVGs) – Tracks invalidated gaps that turn into new liquidity pools.
✅ Works Across All Markets – Ideal for Forex, Futures, Stocks, and Crypto.
🔹 How It Works:
📌 Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) – Price inefficiencies caused by fast institutional moves that often get revisited.
📌 Bullish FVGs (BISI) – Formed when price gaps up, creating a demand zone where price may return.
📌 Bearish FVGs (SIBI) – Formed when price gaps down, acting as a supply zone for potential reversals.
📌 Inverse Fair Value Gaps (IFVGs) – Previously unfilled FVGs that get mitigated and act as liquidity pools.
📌 Consequent Encroachment (CE) – The 50% midpoint of an FVG, where price often reacts.
📌 Multi-Timeframe Integration – Tracks higher timeframe gaps for confluence with lower timeframe setups.
🔹 How to Use:

--- 💡 MOMENTUM THEORY CONCEPT ---
The best trade setups are found at swing points for 3 reasons:
They are the highest probability point the market will continue pushing.
They provide the best Stop Loss protection.
They offer the greatest Risk-to-Reward.
The goal of trading is to identify when these swing points occur to take the best trade setups.
Every swing point consists of a push towards a peak, a peak formation, and a push away from a peak. There is no way to know how long a push towards or away from a peak will last, but the peak formation can be identified by 2 elements:
A fakeout of a previous peak level
A flip of its last breakout level
We can track the movement of the market by looking at which peak level is triggered relative to its breakout level. How price behaves at the previous peak levels shows where momentum is headed. It continues to build towards a new peak until it fakes out the previous peak level and flips its breakout level, creating a swing point.
Swing points on the higher timeframes show up as multiple swing points on the lower timeframes, but they often won't be moving in sync. When 2 timeframe swing points get in alignment, the market will move smoothly together. You find the lower timeframe swing point the exact same way you find the higher timeframe one.
The market is constantly moving from one swing point to the next in a repeatable cycle. By using higher timeframe breakout levels and peak levels triggered, we can track where we are in this cycle to anticipate its future movement. This is the Momentum Cycle and it repeats itself over and over.
By using the exact same concept, we can identify mechanical alignment patterns on the lower timeframes to create setups that work in every phase of the market cycle. Momentum Theory Scanner searches for these patterns inside the watchlist.

Twitter Model ICT [TradingFinder] MMXM ERL D + FVG + M15 MSS/SMT🔵 Introduction
The Twitter Model ICT is a trading approach based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) models, focusing on price movement between external and internal liquidity in lower timeframes. This model integrates key concepts such as Market Structure Shift (MSS), Smart Money Technique (SMT) divergence, and CISD level break to identify precise entry points in the market.
The primary goal of this model is to determine key liquidity levels, such as the previous day’s high and low (PDH/PDL) and align them with the Fair Value Gap (FVG) in the 1-hour timeframe. The overall strategy involves framing trades around the 1H FVG and using the M15 Market Structure Shift (MSS) for entry confirmation.
The Twitter Model ICT is designed to utilize external liquidity levels, such as PDH/PDL, as key entry zones. The model identifies FVG in the 1-hour timeframe, which acts as a magnet for price movement. Additionally, traders confirm entries using M15 Market Structure Shift (MSS) and SMT divergence.
Bullish Twitter Model :
In a bullish setup, the price sweeps the previous day’s low (PDL), and after confirming reversal signals, buys are executed in internal liquidity zones. Conversely, in a bearish setup, the price sweeps the previous day’s high (PDH), and after confirming weakness signals, sells are executed.
Bearish Twitter Model :
In short setups, entries are only executed above the Midnight Open, while in long setups, entries are taken below the Midnight Open. Adhering to these principles allows traders to define precise entry and exit points and analyze price movement with greater accuracy based on liquidity and market structure.
🔵 How to Use
The Twitter Model ICT is a liquidity-based trading strategy that analyzes price movements relative to the previous day’s high and low (PDH/PDL) and Fair Value Gap (FVG). This model is applicable in both bullish and bearish directions and utilizes the 1-hour (1H) and 15-minute (M15) timeframes for entry confirmation.
The price first sweeps an external liquidity level (PDH or PDL) and then provides an entry opportunity based on Market Structure Shift (MSS) and SMT divergence. Additionally, the entry should be positioned relative to the Midnight Open, meaning long entries should occur below the Midnight Open and short entries above it.
🟣 Bullish Twitter Model
In a bullish setup, the price first sweeps the previous day’s low (PDL) and reaches an external liquidity level. Then, in the 1-hour timeframe (1H), a bullish Fair Value Gap (FVG) forms, which serves as the price target.
To confirm the entry, a Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the 15-minute timeframe (M15) should be observed, signaling a trend reversal to the upside. Additionally, SMT divergence with correlated assets can indicate weakness in selling pressure.
Under these conditions, a long position is taken below the Midnight Open, with a stop-loss placed at the lowest point of the recent bearish move. The price target for this trade is the FVG in the 1-hour timeframe.
🟣 Bearish Twitter Model
In a bearish setup, the price first sweeps the previous day’s high (PDH) and reaches an external liquidity level. Then, in the 1-hour timeframe (1H), a bearish Fair Value Gap (FVG) is identified, serving as the trade target.
To confirm entry, a Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the 15-minute timeframe (M15) should form, signaling a trend shift to the downside. If an SMT divergence is present, it can provide additional confirmation for the trade.
Once these conditions are met, a short position is taken above the Midnight Open, with a stop-loss placed at the highest level of the recent bullish move. The trade's price target is the FVG in the 1-hour timeframe.
🔵 Settings
Bar Back Check : Determining the return of candles to identify the CISD level.
CISD Level Validity : CISD level validity period based on the number of candles.
Daily Position : Determines whether only the first signal of the day is considered or if signals are evaluated throughout the entire day.
Session : Specifies in which trading sessions the indicator will be active.
Second Symbol : This setting allows you to select another asset for comparison with the primary asset. By default, "XAUUSD" (Gold) is set as the second symbol, but you can change it to any currency pair, stock, or cryptocurrency. For example, you can choose currency pairs like EUR/USD or GBP/USD to identify divergences between these two assets.
Divergence Fractal Periods : This parameter defines the number of past candles to consider when identifying divergences. The default value is 2, but you can change it to suit your preferences. This setting allows you to detect divergences more accurately by selecting a greater number of candles.
The indicator allows displaying sessions based on various time zones. The user can select one of the following options :
UTC (Coordinated Universal Time)
Local Time of the Session
User’s Local Time
Show Open Price : Displays the New York market opening price.
Show PDH / PDL : Displays the previous day’s high and low to identify potential entry points.
Show SMT Divergence : Displays lines and labels for bullish ("+SMT") and bearish ("-SMT") divergences.
🔵 Conclusion
The Twitter Model ICT is an effective approach for analyzing and executing trades in financial markets, utilizing a combination of liquidity principles, market structure, and SMT confirmations to identify optimal entry and exit points.
By analyzing the previous day’s high and low (PDH/PDL), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), and Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the 1H and M15 timeframes, traders can pinpoint liquidity-driven trade opportunities. Additionally, considering the Midnight Open level helps traders avoid random entries and ensures better trade placement.
By applying this model, traders can interpret market movements based on liquidity flow and structural changes, allowing them to fine-tune their trading decisions with higher precision. Ultimately, the Twitter Model ICT provides a structured and logical approach for traders who seek to trade based on liquidity behavior and trend shifts in the market.

By using the exact same concept, we can identify mechanical alignment patterns on the lower timeframes to create setups that work in every phase of the market cycle. Identify your own patterns or use the suggested ones below. Watch the Live Trading Examples to see how these patterns are used.

--- 🧩 EXTENDING MOMENTUM THEORY ---
If the best trade setups are found at swing points, then that must mean that every trading strategy that's worth learning must have some type of method to identify that specific move. Since Momentum Theory specializes in identifying the swing point, it can easily fit into most trading strategies by removing discretion and inserting a mechanical process to filter your existing strategy's setups. By using only non-negotiable levels such as Previous Day High / Low, you can convert most discretionary patterns into mechanical ones to hopefully help increase your consistency. My hope is that you can build your own library of mechanical setups that are specific to your strategy that go beyond the ones that I've provided.
--- 📝 HOW TO USE ---
⚠ Click on "Indicators > Invite-Only > Momentum Theory" to add it to your charts.
1) Determine directional bias on the higher timeframe chart.
2) Identify the cycle and setup pattern on the middle timeframe chart and wait for the momentum timeframe to be triggered.
3) Execute entries when the lower timeframes are aligned. Market is fractal and you can pick whatever timeframe you want for entry. Trade as simple or complex as you want.
⚠️ Trigger bars are an indication of breakout bias alignment at the lowest timeframes. They are NOT signals to be taken blindly without further analysis.

MTF Fractal Bias Confluence DetectorMTF Fractal Bias Confluence Detector
This indicator, the MTF Fractal Bias Confluence Detector, is based on the idea that the market exhibits fractal behaviour. The origin of the idea traces back to 1963, when Benoit Mandelbrot analyzed the fluctuations in cotton prices over a time series starting in 1900, discovering that price changes exhibited scale-invariant patterns. This means that the curve representing daily price changes mirrored the shape of monthly price changes, highlighting the fractal nature of market behaviour. When applied to swing points across multiple timeframes (MTF), this concept suggests that swing points demonstrate similar patterns regardless of the timeframe being analyzed. These self-similar fractal structures provide traders with insights into market reversals and trends, making them a powerful tool for multi-timeframe analysis.
A Swing Point is made up of three main parts: a move away from the last Break level; forming a peak (pivot point) with a Fakeout of the peak (explained through an example later); and a subsequent move away from it. These swing points recur across all timeframes as part of cyclical momentum patterns, meaning each swing point gives rise to a new cycle of market movement. Due to the fractal nature of the market, larger cycles encompass multiple smaller ones.
The theory behind the Fractal Bias Confluence Detector utilizes the idea that the market movements are fractal in nature and illustrates how such swing points can be identified across MTFs. To do so, we examine the Peak Fakeouts within these cycles, as they form. It is not possible to know in advance how long each of these moves will last, but a Swing Point will often occur with a Peak Fakeout. Therefore, the most critical element is to identify the Peak Fakeout.
The snapshot below captures a Peak Fakeout, as discussed earlier.
Similarly, the following snapshot shows various possible breakdowns of Higher Time Frame (HTF) cycles into smaller Lower Time Frame (LTF) movements. The chart contains a white table(not part of the indicator and shown for illustration purposes only).
To further illustrate. Consider the combination of Time Frames (TF) from the 2nd row (from the above snapshot). Cycle TF (1M), Setup TF (1W), Momentum TF (1D) etc.
Price movements in the 1M TF highlight the direction in which HTF traders are pushing the market. Often, when markets have broken out of a level, they tend to form a peak and can then pull back towards the prior breakout level. Once the pullback is beyond the last breakout level, in the opposite direction, we may say the peak formation is created, and directional bias has changed. This is also called Peak Fakeout. Due to the fractal nature of the market, Swing Points on the HTF will often constitute multiple Swing Points on the LTF, though they are not always in sync. However, after such peak formation, there is a high probability that the price might move away from the peak for at least 1 candle (in the cycle TF). This theory illustrates that once a new cycle is in play, we can then look at 1W (Setup TF) to look for possible in-sync movements, at least within that 1 candle of the HTF. Repeating the same for further lower TFs, we may arrive at a confluence of Fractal Bias and see how the movements in LTF are driven by the HTF momentum.
Another example within the chart:
Note: The above examples are just for illustration purposes, and other permutations and combinations of movements across multiple TFs are also possible.
This indicator aims to help users identify such fractal-bias-confluences, so that they can leverage the fractal nature of the market to get a holistic view. To do so, the indicator displays how the market has moved across multiple time frames, with respect to different historical levels.
Features:
1. The bias summary table
The following snapshot depicts the bias summary table at the bottom right of the chart.
1.1. Workings: The table will display, for various TFs, in the first four (starting from "current" to Prev ) rows, one of the following.
"F/H" , " Acronym for the failed break of the previous high",
"F/L" , " Acronym for the failed break of the previous low",
"B/H" , " Acronym for the break of the previous high",
"B/L" , " Acronym for the break of the previous low",
"IN" , " Acronym for an inside candle (never broke high or low of perv candle)",
"OT" , " Acronym for an outside candle (broke both high and low of previous candle and closing price is in between previous high and low)".
Note: these acronyms are customizable according to the user's choice of terminology in any language, as shown in the snapshot below.
1.1.1 In the above snapshot, the 1st row, called "Current", shows how the current candle is evolving with respect to the previous one. The "previous" row shows how the previous candle closed with respect to the pre-previous one. The next two rows represent the bias of the pre-previous and pre-pre-previous in a similar manner. By default, the bias is updated in real-time, even for the already closed historical candles. For example, if the previous 4H candle closed as a B/H and the current price then comes below the pre-previous 4H candle high, then the bias of the previous candle will get updated to F/H. This informs the user that the break above the pre-previous high has failed. However, the user has the option to turn this off. The information in these four rows shows the user how the market is moving currently and how it evolved before reaching the current price levels.
Note: The calculation done by the indicator is to keep track of how the price is moving with respect to the last candle levels in real-time. This means if the price first goes above the previous high and then goes below the previous low, the indicator is equipped to display what happened in the most recent time. The snapshot below shows the option to turn on/off such updates in the bias summary table.
Note: While the bias summary table is turned on, the user also has the option to turn off Prev and Prev rows, as shown in the snapshot below.
1.1.2 The 2nd to last row, called CL/CS(Consecutive Long/Short), shows whether consecutive (2+) breaks of high/low happened or not in one direction without taking out the previous candle's range in the opposite direction. When conditions are met, it will show the number of times the price has been pushed in one direction (in the above manner), followed by "L" for long and "S" for short, for each TF, for example, "4L". It gets updated in real-time for each push in the same direction. Furthermore, a good analogy of "4L" on an HTF is 4 consecutive Break of Structure (BOS) (in the same direction) on LTF, without a Change of Character (CHoCH). Another example would be Stacey Burke's 3 consecutive rises that can be mapped in the indicator, if the conditions are met for "3L" for a given TF.
1.1.3 The last row, FRC/FGC, stands for the first red/green candle. It shows whether the last candle of a TF has closed as green (i.e., close>open) after posting two red candles (i.e., close
QuantFrame | FractalystWhat’s the purpose of this indicator?
The purpose of QuantFrame is to provide traders with a systematic approach to analyzing market structure, eliminating subjectivity, and enhancing decision-making. By clearly identifying and labeling structural breaks, QuantFrame helps traders:
1. Refine Market Analysis: Transition from discretionary market observation to a structured framework.
2. Identify Key Levels: Highlight important liquidity and invalidation zones for potential entries, exits, and risk management.
3. Streamline Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Track market trends and structural changes across different timeframes seamlessly.
4. Enhance Consistency: Reduce guesswork by following a rule-based methodology for identifying structural breaks.
How Does This Indicator Identify Market Structure?
1. Swing Detection
• The indicator identifies key swing points on the chart. These are local highs or lows where the price reverses direction, forming the foundation of market structure.
2. Structural Break Validation
• A structural break is flagged when a candle closes above a previous swing high (bullish) or below a previous swing low (bearish).
• Break Confirmation Process:
To confirm the break, the indicator applies the following rules:
• Valid Swing Preceding the Break: There must be at least one valid swing point before the break.
3. Numeric Labeling
• Each confirmed structural break is assigned a unique numeric ID starting from 1.
• This helps traders track breaks sequentially and analyze how the market structure evolves over time.
4. Liquidity and Invalidation Zones
• For every confirmed structural break, the indicator highlights two critical zones:
1. Liquidity Zone (LIQ): Represents the structural liquidity level.
2. Invalidation Zone (INV): Acts as Invalidation point if the structure fails to hold.
What do the extremities show us on the charts?
When using QuantFrame for market structure analysis, the extremities—Liquidity Level (LIQ) and Invalidation Level (INV)—serve as critical reference points for understanding price behavior and making informed trading decisions.
Here's a detailed explanation of what these extremities represent and how they function:
Liquidity Level (LIQ)
Definition: The Liquidity Level is a key price zone where the market is likely to retest, consolidate, or seek liquidity. It represents areas where orders are concentrated, making it a high-probability reaction zone.
Purpose: Traders use this level to anticipate potential pullbacks or continuation patterns. It helps in identifying areas where price may pause or reverse temporarily due to the presence of significant liquidity.
Key Insight: If a candle closes above or below the LIQ, it results in another break of structure (BOS) in the same direction. This indicates that price is continuing its trend and has successfully absorbed liquidity at that level.
Invalidation Level (INV)
Definition: The Invalidation Level marks the threshold that, if breached, signifies a structural shift in the market. It acts as a critical point where the current market bias becomes invalid.
Purpose: This level is often used as a stop-loss or re-evaluation point for trading strategies. It ensures that traders have a clear boundary for risk management.
Key Insight: If a candle closes above or below the INV, it signals a shift in market structure:
A closure above the INV in a bearish trend indicates a shift from bearish to bullish bias.
A closure below the INV in a bullish trend indicates a shift from bullish to bearish bias.
What does the top table display?
The top table in QuantFrame serves as a multi-timeframe trend overview. Here’s what it provides:
1. Numeric Break IDs Across Multiple Timeframes:
• Each numeric break corresponds to a confirmed structural break on a specific timeframe, helping traders track the most recent breaks systematically.
2. Trend Direction via Text Color:
• The color of the text reflects the current trend direction:
• Blue indicates a bullish structure.
• Red signifies a bearish structure.
3. Higher Timeframe Insights Without Manual Switching:
• The table eliminates the need to switch between timeframes by presenting a consolidated view of the market trend across multiple timeframes, saving time and improving decision-making.
What is the Multi-Timeframe Trend Score (MTTS)?
MTTS is a score that quantifies trend strength and direction across multiple timeframes.
How does MTTS work?
1. Break Detection:
• Analyzes bullish and bearish structural breaks on each timeframe.
2. Trend Scoring:
• Scores each timeframe based on the frequency and quality of bullish/bearish breaks.
3. MTTS Calculation:
• Averages the scores across all timeframes to produce a unified trend strength value.
How is MTTS interpreted?
• ⬆ (Above 50): Indicates an overall bullish trend.
• ⬇ (Below 50): Suggests an overall bearish trend.
• ⇅ (Exactly 50): Represents a neutral or balanced market structure.
How to Use QuantFrame?
1. Implement a Systematic Market Structure Framework:
• Use QuantFrame to analyze market structure objectively by identifying key structural breaks and marking liquidity (LIQ) and invalidation (INV) zones.
• This eliminates guesswork and provides a clear framework for understanding market movements.
2. Leverage MTTS for Directional Bias:
• Refer to the MTTS table to identify the multi-timeframe directional bias, giving you the broader market context.
• Align your trading decisions with the overall trend or structure to improve accuracy and consistency.
3. Apply Your Preferred Entry Model:
• Once the market context is clear, use your preferred entry model to capitalize on the identified structure and trend.
• Manage trades dynamically as price delivers, using the provided liquidity and invalidation zones for risk management.
What Makes QuantFrame Original?
1. Objective Market Structure Analysis:
• Unlike subjective methods, QuantFrame uses a rule-based approach to identify structural breaks, ensuring consistency and reducing emotional decision-making.
2. Multi-Timeframe Integration:
• The MTTS table consolidates trend data across multiple timeframes, offering a bird’s-eye view of market trends without the need to switch charts manually.
• This unique feature allows traders to align strategies with higher-timeframe trends for more informed decision-making.
3. Liquidity and Invalidation Zones:
• Automatically marks Liquidity (LIQ) and Invalidation (INV) zones for every structural break, providing actionable levels for entries, exits, and risk management.
• These zones help traders define their risk-reward setups with precision.
4. Dynamic Trend Scoring (MTTS):
• The Multi-Timeframe Trend Score (MTTS) quantifies trend strength and direction across selected timeframes, offering a single, consolidated metric for market sentiment.
• This score is visualized with intuitive symbols (⬆, ⬇, ⇅) for quick decision-making.
5. Numeric Labeling of Breaks:
• Each structural break is assigned a unique numeric ID, making it easy to track, analyze, and backtest specific market scenarios.
6. Systematic Yet Flexible:
• While it provides a structured framework for market analysis, QuantFrame seamlessly integrates with any trading style. Traders can use it alongside their preferred entry models, adapting it to their unique strategies.
7. Enhanced Market Context:
• By combining structural insights with directional bias (via MTTS), the indicator equips traders with a complete market context, enabling them to make better-informed decisions.

Smart Money Concepts (Advanced)Inspired and initially based on LuxAlgo's Smart Money Concepts Indicator I created a library lib_smc that started to convert every function and return objects. This allowed certain customizations like tracking the current fill level of FVGs or tracking the creation of Order Blocks, by monitoring consecutive bars against the current trend.
This indicator is provided as is, based on, but probably not always be up to date with my lib_smc that I am using for my projects.
WARNING: This indicator shows EXPERIMENTAL Order Blocks that are tracked LIVE. Unlike usual Order Blocks these are not just based on the last confirmed Swing Point (formed 50 bars before) but on consecutive candles opposing an unconfirmed trend. Blocks are confirmed by price movements relative to the unconfirmed block and unconfirmed swing points. This means that some Order Blocks will appear on pullbacks, as well as reversals.
Features
Swing Points (HH / LH / HL / LL), indicating support / resistance zones price might reject off of or want to push through
Market Structure (BOS / ChoCh), indicates confirmation for a continued / changing trend
live Order Blocks (OB), see warning above.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG), optional from higher timeframes
Equal Highs / Lows (EQH/EQL), indicates strong support / resistance zones, especially when the bars forming it have long wicks toward that zone
using my lib_no_delay all moving averages are working from bar 0, so it can be used on charts with limited bars
[3Commas] DCA Bot TesterDCA Bot Tester
🔷What it does: A tool designed to simulate the behavior of a Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) strategy based on input signals from a source indicator. Additionally, it enables you to send activation signals to 3Commas Bots via TradingView webhooks.
🔷Who is it for: This tool is ideal for those who want a visual representation and strategy report of how a DCA Bot would perform under specific conditions. By adjusting the parameters, you can assess whether the strategy aligns with your risk/reward expectations before implementation, helping you save time and protect your capital.
🔷How does it work: The tool leverages a pyramiding function to simulate price averaging, mimicking how a DCA Bot operates. It calculates volume-based averaging and, upon reaching the target, closes the positions. Conversely, if the target isn't reached, a Stop Loss is triggered, potentially resulting in significant losses if improperly configured.
🔷Why It’s Unique
Easy visualization of DCA Bot entry and exit points according to user preferences.
DCA Bot Summary table same as the one shown in the new 3Commas interface.
Use plots from other indicators as Entry Trigger Source, with a small modification of the code.
Option to Review message format before sending Signals to 3Commas. Compatibility with Multi-Pair, and futures contract pairs.
Option to filter signals by session and day according to the user’s timezone.
👉 Before continuing with the explanation of the tool, please take a few minutes to read this information, paying special attention to the risks of using DCA strategies.
DCA Bot: What is it, how does it work, and what are its advantages and risks?
A DCA Bot is an automated tool designed to simplify and optimize your trading operations, particularly in cryptocurrencies. Based on the concept of Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) , this bot implements scaled strategies that allow you to distribute your investments intelligently. The key lies in dividing your capital into multiple orders, known as base orders and safety orders, which are executed at different price levels depending on market conditions.
These bots are highly customizable, meaning you can adapt them to your goals and trading style, whether you're operating Long (expecting a price increase) or Short (expecting a price decrease). Their primary purpose is to reduce the impact of entries that move against the estimated direction and ensure you achieve a more favorable average price.
🔸 Key Features of DCA Bots
Customizable configuration: DCA bots allow you to adjust the size of your initial investment, the number of safety orders, and the price levels at which these orders execute. These orders can be equal or incremental, depending on your risk tolerance.
Scaled safety orders: If the asset's price moves against your position, the bot executes safety orders at strategic levels to average your entry price and increase your chances of closing in profit.
Automatic Take Profit: When the predefined profit level is reached, the bot closes the position, ensuring net gains by averaging all entries made using the DCA strategy.
Stop Loss option: To protect your capital, you can set a stop loss level that limits losses if the market moves drastically against your position.
Flexibility: Bots can integrate with 3Commas technical indicators or external signals from TradingView, allowing you to trade in any trend, whether bullish or bearish.
Support for multiple assets: You can trade cryptocurrency pairs and exchanges compatible with 3Commas, offering a wide range of possibilities to diversify your strategies.
✅ Advantages of DCA Bots
Time-saving automation: DCA bots eliminate the need for constant market monitoring, executing your trades automatically and efficiently based on predefined settings.
Favorable averages in volatile markets: By averaging your entries, the bot can offer more competitive prices even under adverse market conditions. This increases your chances of recovering a position and closing it profitably.
Advanced capital management: With customizable settings, you can adjust the size of base and safety orders to optimize capital usage and reduce risk.
Additional protection: The ability to set a stop loss ensures your losses are limited, safeguarding your capital in extreme scenarios.
⚠️ Risks of Using a DCA Bot
Requires significant capital: Safety orders can accumulate quickly if the price moves against your position. This issue is compounded if increasing amounts are used for safety orders, which can immobilize large portions of capital in adverse markets.
Markets lacking clear direction: During consolidation periods or erratic movements, the bot may generate unrealized losses and make position recovery difficult.
Opportunity cost: Investing in an asset that doesn't show favorable behavior can prevent you from seizing opportunities in other markets.
Emotional pressure: Large investments in advanced stages of the DCA strategy can cause stress, especially if an asset takes too long to reach your take profit level.
Dependence on market recovery: DCA assumes that the price will eventually move in your favor, which does not always happen, especially in assets without solid fundamentals.
📖 Key Considerations for Effectively Using a DCA Bot
Use small amounts for your base and safety orders: Setting small initial orders not only limits capital usage but also allows you to manage multiple bots simultaneously, maximizing portfolio diversification.
Capital management: Define a clear budget and never risk more than you are willing to lose. This is essential for maintaining sustainable operations.
Select assets with strong fundamentals: Apply DCA to assets you understand and that have solid fundamentals and a proven historical growth record. Additionally, analyze each cryptocurrency's fundamentals: What problem does it solve? Does it have a clear use case? Is it viable in the long term? These questions will help you make more informed decisions.
Diversification: Do not concentrate all your capital on a single asset or strategy. Spread your risk across multiple bots or assets.
Monitor regularly: While bots are automated and eliminate the need to monitor the market constantly, it is essential to monitor the bots themselves to ensure they are performing as expected. This includes reviewing their performance and making adjustments if market conditions change. Remember, the goal is to automate trades, but active bot management is crucial to avoid surprises.
A DCA Bot is a powerful tool for traders looking to automate their strategies and reduce the impact of market fluctuations. However, like any tool, its success depends on how it is configured and used. By applying solid capital management principles, carefully selecting assets, and using small amounts in your orders, you can maximize its potential and minimize risks.
🔷FEATURES & HOW TO USE
🔸Strategy: Here you must select the type of signal you are going to analyze and send signals to the DCA Bot, either Long for buy signals or Short for sell signals. This must match the Bot created in 3Commas.
🔸Add a Source Indicator for Entry Triggers
Tradingview allows us to use indicator plots as a source in other indicators, we will use this functionality so that the buy or sell signals of an indicator are processed by the DCA Bot Tester.
In this EXAMPLE we will use a simple strategy that uses a Donchian Channel (DC) and an Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
Trigger to buy or long signal will be when: the price closes above the previous upper level and the average of the upper and lower level (basis) is greater than the EMA.
Trigger sell or short signal will be when: the price closes below the previous lower level and the average of the upper and lower level (basis) is less than the EMA.
trigger_buy = ta.crossover (close,upper ) and basis > ema and barstate.isconfirmed
trigger_sell = ta.crossunder(close,lower ) and basis < ema and barstate.isconfirmed
Then we create the plots that will be used as input source in the DCA Bot Tester indicator.
When a buy condition is given the plot "🟢 Trigger Buy" will have a value of 1 otherwise it will remain at 0.
When a sell condition is given the plot "🔴 Trigger Sell" will have a value of -1 otherwise it will remain at 0.
plot(trigger_buy ? 1 : 0 , '🟢 Trigger Buy' , color = na, display = display.data_window)
plot(trigger_sell? -1 : 0 , '🔴 Trigger Sell', color = na, display = display.data_window)
Here you have the complete code so you can use it and do tests. Basically you just have to define the buy or sell conditions of your preferred indicator or strategy and then create the plots with the same format that will be used in DCA Bot Tester.
//@version=6
indicator(title="Simple Strategy Example", overlay= false)
// Indicator and Signal Triggers
length = input.int(10, title = "DC Length" , display = display.none)
length_ema = input.int(50, title = "EMA Length", display = display.none)
lower = ta.lowest (length)
upper = ta.highest(length)
ema = ta.ema (close, length_ema)
basis = math.avg (upper, lower)
plot(basis, "Basis", color = color.orange, display = display.all-display.status_line)
plot(upper, "Upper", color = color.blue , display = display.all-display.status_line)
plot(lower, "Lower", color = color.blue , display = display.all-display.status_line)
plot(ema , "EMA" , color = color.red , display = display.all-display.status_line)
candlecol = open < close ? color.teal : color.red
plotcandle(open, high, low, close, title='Candles', color = candlecol, wickcolor = candlecol, bordercolor = candlecol, display = display.pane)
trigger_buy = ta.crossover (close,upper ) and basis > ema and barstate.isconfirmed
trigger_sell = ta.crossunder(close,lower ) and basis < ema and barstate.isconfirmed
plotshape(trigger_buy ?close:na, title="Label Buy" , style=shape.labelup , location= location.belowbar, color=color.green, text="B", textcolor=color.white, display=display.pane)
plotshape(trigger_sell?close:na, title="Label Sell", style=shape.labeldown, location= location.abovebar, color=color.red , text="S", textcolor=color.white, display=display.pane)
// ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
// 👇 Plots to be used in the DCA Bot Indicator as source triggers.
// ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
plot(trigger_buy ? 1 : 0 , '🟢 Trigger Buy' , color = na, display = display.data_window)
plot(trigger_sell? -1 : 0 , '🔴 Trigger Sell', color = na, display = display.data_window)
To use the example code
Open the Pine Editor, paste the code and then click Add to chart.
Then in the Plot Entry Trigger Source option, we will select 🟢 Trigger Buy, as the plot that will give us the buy signals when it is worth 1, otherwise for the sell signals you must change the value to -1 in the Plot Entry Trigger Value and remember to change the strategy mode to Short.
🔸DCA Settings: Here you need to configure the DCA values of the strategy, you can see the meaning of each value in the Settings Section. Once you are satisfied with the tests configure the 3Commas DCA Bot with the same values so that the Summary Table matches the 3Commas Table. Pay close attention to the Total Volume that the Bot will use, according to the amount of Safety Orders you are going to execute, and that all the values in the table adapt to your risk tolerance.
🔸DCA Bot Deal Start: Once you create the Bot in 3Commas with the same settings it will give you a Deal Start Message, you must copy and paste it in this section, verify that it is the same in the summary table, this is used to be sent through tradingview alerts to the Bot and it can process the signals.
🔸DCA Bot Multi-Pair: A Multi-Pair Bot allows you to manage several pairs with a single bot, but you must specify which pair it will run on. You must activate it if you want to use the signals in a DCA Bot Multi-pair. In the text box you must enter (using the 3Commas format) the symbol for each pair before you create the alert so that the bot understands which pair to work on.
In the following image we would be configuring the indicator to send a signal to activate the bot in the BTCUSDT pair using the given format it would be USDT_BTC, but if we wanted to send a signal in another pair we must change the pair in the chart and also in the configuration, an example with ETHUSDT would be USDT_ETH. After this we could create the alert, and the Mult-Pair Bot would detect it correctly.
🔸Strategy Tester Filters: This is useful if you want to test the strategy's result on a certain time window, the indicator will only enter this range. If disabled it will use all historical data available on the chart. If you are going to use the tool to send signals, make sure to disable the Use Custom Test Period. If you want the entries to only run at a certain time and day, in that case make sure that the timezone matches the one you are using in the chart.
🔸Properties: Adjust your initial capital and exchange commission appropriately to achieve realistic results.
🔸Create alerts to trigger the DCA Bot
Check that the message is the same as the one indicated by the DCA Bot.
In the case of Multi-Pair, enable the option to add the symbol with the correct format.
When creating an alert, select Any alert() function call.
Enter the any name of the alert.
Open the Notifications tab and enable Webhook URL
Paste Webhook URL provided by 3Commas looking in the section How to use TradingView custom signals.
Done, alerts will be sent with the correct format automatically to 3Commas.
🔷 INDICATOR SETTINGS
🔸3Commas DCA Bot Settings
Strategy: Select the direction of the strategy to test Long or Short, this must be the same as the Bot created in 3Commas, so that the signals are processed properly.
DCA Bot Deal Start: Copy and paste the message for the deal start signal of the DCA Bot you created in 3Commas. This is the message that will be sent with the alert to the Bot, you must verify that it is the same as the 3Commas bot so that it can process properly so that it executes and starts the trade.
DCA Bot Multi-Pair: A Multi-Pair Bot allows you to manage several pairs with a single bot, but you must specify which pair it will run on.
DCA Bot Summary Table: Here you can activate the display of table as well as change the size, position, text color and background color.
🔸Source Indicator Settings
Plot Entry Trigger Source: Select a Plot for Entries of the Source Indicator. This refers to the Long or Short entry signal that the indicator will use as BO (Base Order).
Plot Entry Trigger Value: Value of the Source Indicator to Deal Start Condition Trigger. The default value is 1, this means that when a signal is given for example Long in the source indicator, we will use 1 or for Short -1 if there is no signal it will be 0 so it will not execute any entry, please review the example code and adjust the indicator you are going to use in the same way.
🔸DCA Settings
Base Order: The Base Order is the first order the bot will create when starting a new deal.
Safety Order: Enter the amount of funds your safety orders will use to average the cost of the asset being traded.Safety orders are also known as Dollar Cost Averaging and help when prices move in the opposite direction to your bot's take profit target.
Safety Orders Deviation %: Enter the percentage difference in price to create the first Safety Order. All Safety Orders are calculated from the price the initial Base Order was filled on the exchange account.
Safety Orders Max Count: This is the total number of Safety Orders the bot is allowed to use per deal that is opened. All Safety Orders created by the bot are placed as Limit Orders on the exchange's order book.
Safety Orders Volume Scale: The Safety Order Volume Scale is used to multiply the amount of funds used by the last Safety Order that was created. Using a larger amount of funds for Safety Orders allows your bot to be more aggressive at Dollar Cost Averaging the price of the asset being traded.
Safety Orders Step Scale: The Safety Order Step Scale is used to multiply the Price Deviation percentage used by the last Safety Order placed on the exchange account. Using a larger value here will reduce the amount of Safety Orders your bot will require to cover a larger move in price in the opposite direction to the active deal's take profit target.
Take Profit %: The Take Profit section offers tools for flexible management of target parameters: automatic profit upon reaching one or more target levels in percentage.
Stop Loss % | Use SL: To enable Stop Loss, please check the "Use SL" box. This is the percentage that price needs to move in the opposite direction to close the deal at a loss. This must be greater than the sum of the deviations from the safety orders.

Market Structure Trend Targets [ChartPrime]The Market Structure Trend Targets indicator is designed to identify trend direction and continuation points by marking significant breaks in price levels. This approach helps traders track trend strength and potential reversal points. The indicator uses previous highs and lows as breakout triggers, providing a visual roadmap for trend continuation or mean reversion signals.
⯁ KEY FEATURES AND HOW TO USE
⯌ Breakout Points with Numbered Markers :
The indicator identifies key breakout points where price breaks above a previous high (for uptrends) or below a previous low (for downtrends). The initial breakout (zero break) is marked with the entry price and a triangle icon, while subsequent breakouts within the trend are numbered sequentially (1, 2, 3…) to indicate trend continuation.
Example of breakout markers for uptrend and downtrend:
⯌ Percentage Change Display Option :
Traders can toggle on a setting to display the percentage change from the initial breakout point to each subsequent break level, offering an easy way to gauge trend momentum over time. This is particularly helpful for identifying how far price has moved in the current trend.
Percentage change example between break points:
⯌ Dynamic Stop Loss Levels :
In uptrends, the stop loss level is placed below the price to protect against downside moves. In downtrends, it is positioned above the price. If the price breaches the stop loss level, the indicator resets, indicating a potential end or reversal of the trend.
Dynamic stop loss level illustration in uptrend and downtrend:
⯌ Mean Reversion Signals :
The indicator identifies potential mean reversion points with diamond icons. In an uptrend, if the price falls below the stop loss and then re-enters above it, a diamond is plotted, suggesting a possible mean reversion. Similarly, in a downtrend, if the price moves above the stop loss and then falls back below, it indicates a reversion possibility.

⯌ Trend Visualization with Colored Zones :
The chart background is shaded to visually represent trend direction, with color changes corresponding to uptrends and downtrends. This makes it easier to see overall market conditions at a glance.
⯁ USER INPUTS
Length : Defines the number of bars used to identify pivot highs and lows for trend breakouts.
Display Percentage : Option to toggle between showing sequential breakout numbers or the percentage change from the initial breakout.
Colors for Uptrend and Downtrend : Allows customization of color zones for uptrends and downtrends to match individual chart preferences.
⯁ CONCLUSION
The Market Structure Trend Targets indicator offers a strategic way to monitor market trends, track breakouts, and manage risk through dynamic stop loss levels. Its clear visual representation of trend continuity, alongside mean reversion signals, provides traders with actionable insights for both trend-following and counter-trend strategies.
LIT - ConfirmationsOverview
The LIT - Confirmations Indicator is a dynamic checklist tool designed for traders who uses LIT Strategy (Liquidity Inducement Theory) following liquidity and smart money concepts as benefit. This tool allows users to document and track essential trading confirmations directly on their TradingView charts, offering a structured and visual approach to market analysis.
What Makes This Unique?
Unlike other open-source tools, the LIT - Confirmations Indicator introduces a fully interactive and customizable table directly on the chart. This table provides real-time feedback with clear ✅ (checked) and ❌ (unchecked) visual indicators for each confirmation. The user can position the table on the chart according to their preference, ensuring it integrates seamlessly into their trading workflow without obscuring critical chart data.
How It Works
1. Predefined Confirmations
The indicator includes a set of commonly used trading confirmations:
Identify Liquidity: Mark areas where liquidity might pool.
Inducement: Confirm the presence of inducements before market reversals.
Relevant Break of Structure (BOS): Validate critical structural changes.
Mitigation after RBoS: Check for mitigation following a BOS.
Smart Money Trap (SMT): Identify traps often utilized by smart money.
Timing: Ensure trades are entered during high-probability time windows.
Mitigation to the Leftside: Confirm whether price action aligns with prior mitigations.
Set Targets: Define and document logical take-profit or stop-loss levels.
2.Interactive Table Display
A table is dynamically created on the chart, showing all confirmations with their current state (checked or unchecked).
Users can choose the position of the table (top, middle, or bottom and left, center, or right) and customize its background color for better visibility.
3. Customization
All confirmations are toggled through the input settings, allowing traders to adapt the indicator to their unique strategies.
The display can be easily adjusted to match the trader’s preferences without cluttering the chart.
How to Use
1. Add the indicator to your chart.
2. Open the settings panel to activate the relevant confirmations for your analysis.
3. Use the Display Settings section to adjust the table's position and background color.
4. View the table on your chart to track selected confirmations in real-time.
Who Is This For?
This indicator is ideal for traders who:
Use Liquidity Inducent Theory strategy in their analysis.
Prefer a structured and systematic trading approach.
Need an on-chart tool to document confirmations without relying on external notes or tools.
Why Closed Source?
The logic behind the interactive table and confirmation system is specifically tailored to LIT practitioners and is not publicly available in existing open-source scripts. The closed-source nature of this script protects its unique implementation, ensuring the integrity and exclusivity of the tool.
Disclaimer
This indicator does not provide trading signals or strategies. It is a tool to document user-defined confirmations and should be used in conjunction with a thorough understanding of market behavior and risk management practices.
FU Candle Indicator V3.2What the FU Candle Indicator does:
First we need to understand what FU candles are. There's bullish and bearish FU candles.
Bullish FU candles are candles that have a long wick that takes out the previous candles low, then turns around and closes above the high of the previous candle.
Bearish FU candles are candles that have a long wick that takes out the previous candles high, then turns around and closes below the low of the previous candle.
Then there's so called attempted FU candles (ATT FU)
The difference between normal FU candles and ATT FU candles is, that the ATT FU candle doesn't close above/below the high/low of the previous candle but only above the previous candle's body close.
Bullish ATT FU Candle:
Bearish ATT FU Candle:
Detection of Bullish FU Candles:
Bullish FU Candles are detected by measuring the distance between the low of the previous candle and the low of the current candle.
Then the distance between the previous candles high and the current candles close price are measured.
If current candle low < previous candle low and current candle close > previous candle high = Bullish FU Candle.
Detection of Bullish ATT FU Candles:
Bullish ATT FU Candles are detected by measuring the distance between the low of the previous candle and the low of the current candle.
Then the distance between the previous candles close or open price and the current candles close price are measured. If the previous candle closed bearish, the open price is used for comparison, if the previous candle closed bullish, the close price is used for comparison.
If current candle low < previous candle low and current candle close > previous candle open or close = Bullish ATT FU Candle.
Detection of Bearish FU Candles:
Bearish FU Candles are detected by measuring the distance between the high of the previous candle and the high of the current candle.
Then the distance between the previous candles low, AND the current candles close price are measured.
If current candle high > previous candle high, AND current candle close < previous candle low = Bearish FU Candle.
Detection of Bearish ATT FU Candles:
Bearish ATT FU Candles are detected by measuring the distance between the high of the previous candle and the high of the current candle.
Then the distance between the previous candles close or open price and the current candles close price are measured. If the previous candle closed bearish, the open price is used for comparison, if the previous candle closed bullish, the close price is used for comparison.
If current candle high > previous candle high and current candle close < previous candle open or close = Bearish ATT FU Candle.
What makes this script unique?
It shows and liquidity grab and a break of structure on a lower timeframe in one candle.
It allows to adjust the settings for the asset and timeframe you're using
The built in filters (Fractal Filter and EMA Filter) are both optional but allow to filter out certain candles and most importantly it leaves room for experimentation and optimisation to your trading style.
Input Settings and how to use them:
Bullish FU Candle Color --> This setting is to set the color for bullish FU candles.
Bearish FU Candle Color --> This setting is to set the color for bearish FU candles.
Chart --> This setting enables you to display FU's on different timeframes instead of only the current time. It's set to current timeframe by default.
Liq. Grab in Points --> This is the strength of the liquidity grab. By how many points has the current candle taken out the low/ high of the previous candle. It's set to 20 by default but it has to be adjusted to the timeframe and asset you're using.
Engulfing in Points --> This the strength of the engulfing of the previous candle. It measures the distance of the current close price to the open, close, high or low of the previous candle. It depends if the current candle is bullish or bearish and if the previous candle was bullish or bearish and if ATT FUs are enabled but this setting applies to all methods. It's set to 20 by default but you have to adjust it to the asset and timeframe you're using.
Min. Size in Points --> This setting is to filter out tiny candles. It measures the overall size of the FU candle from low to high. It's set to 20 by default but you have to adjust it to the asset and timeframe you are using.
Min. Body Size in Points --> This setting is to filter out FU candles that have a tiny body. It measures the size of the body from open to close. It's set to 20 by default but you have to adjust it to the asset and timeframe you are using.
Max. Body Size in Points --> This setting is to filter out FU candles that have a huge body. It measures the size of the body from open to close. It's set to 10000 by default but you have to adjust it to the asset and timeframe you are using.
Show ATT FU Candles --> ATT FU Candles are FU's where the body only engulfs the previous candles body but not the wick. This type of FU candles is just as valid as the strong FU's where the Body and the wick of the previous Candle is engulfed. The setting is enabled by default.
Rejection Filter --> This setting is used filter out FU candles where the opposite side rejection is stronger than the body direction of the FU. This filters out a lot of traps. It's disabled by default.
Fractal Filter --> FU's are only valid if they broke a fractal of the past x candles. This filters out some of the FU candles that are inside a range and therefore invalid. This is an optional filter and disabled by default.
EMA Filter --> FU's are only if they are above/ below the EMA. This is to filter out most of the FU candles that are inside ranges. The EMA period can be set too. This is an optional filter and enabled and EMA length set to 7 by default. You can enable it and/ or change the length of the EMA to fit your trading style.
Show Entry Lines --> The entry line setting has been changed in terms of styling. The upper and lower line has been removed. Now only the 50% retracement line of the candle body is displayed and the line type, color, strength and length can be set to keep charts as clean as possible.
Alert Timeframes --> You can select the timeframes for which you want to receive an alert if you set and alert for the FU Candle indicator. If you set an alert for the FU Candle Indicator it will send an alert for every FU candle on every selected timeframe.
TF1-TF8 --> This setting is to enable or disable alerts for timeframe 1 - timeframe 8. By default all alerts are disabled, I recommend only enabling the ones that you actually use.
Recommended use:
A bullish FU candle doesn't necessarily mean it's a long and vice versa a bearish FU candle doesn't necessarily mean it's a short. In fact, most FU candles are traps. Often times you'll see a bullish FU candle starting a bearish reversal.
Whenever you see an FU Candle check the following:
Did the FU candle take relevant liquidity?
Is the FU Candle in line with the overall bias or does it go against the bias?
Where did the FU react? Example: A bearish FU candle that reacts in a bullish FVG is a perfect long entry and vice versa.
A bullish FU candle that takes out a relevant swing high can often be a fake-out and price can immediately reverse as the next candle opens.
Timing is also very important. Usually the valid FU candles happen after a strong move to one direction during high volume times and right before or right after a new candle opens on a higher timeframe.
Examples of valid setups:
Nr. 1) Mitigation Setup
Overall bullish on the higher time frame, liquidity grab to the downside, shift in momentum, strong move to the upside left a FVG. later price comes back into the FVG and forms a FU candle --> perfect long trade targeting the opposite side of the range.
Entry either at close of the FU or at the 50% retracement.
Nr. 2) Trap Setup
Clear bullish trend respecting the trend line, bearish FU candle forms but it didn't take any relevant liquidity to the upside. Only internal range liquidity. Perfect long entry using a buy limit below the lower wick of the FU candle with the SL below the nearest low.
Nr. 3) Liquidity Grab Setup
Bearish trend, price comes up aggressively and takes out a high and forms an FU Candle. Market entry short at close of the FU candle or at the 50% retracement of the FU candle or by putting a limit order right above the wick of the candle that follows the FU candle, targeting the opposite side of the range.
Nr. 4) Fake Breakout Setup
Price takes out a significant HTF low, then makes at least 2 BOS on the LTF and forms an Order Block or leaves an FVG. Price forms a bearish U that fails to close below the FVG or Orderblock.
Market entry long at the close of the bearish FU targeting the opposite side of the range. Vice versa for shorts. In simple terms: Bullish FUs at the top of the range and bearish FUs at the bottom of the range are usually always traps.
Sometimes price takes out the high/low of a trap FU before reversing aggressively so you can also have a limit order below the low of the bearish FU or above the high of a bullish FU in this case. But you risk missing the trade.
Entry Methods:
Entry Type 1) Market Entry at the close of the FU candle. --> Never miss a trade, not the best RRR.
Entry Type 2 Limit Entry at the 50% retracement of the body of the FU candle. --> Miss some of the trades but better RRR.
Entry Type 3 Limit order below the wick of the candle that follows the FU candle. --> Miss quite a lot of trades but by far best RRR.
Why this is a closed source script:
The source code of this script is not open because I have spent several years of my life developing it and I use it in all my trading bots.
Also I'm open for feedback and will modify/ update the script for free if I get input that can make it better.
For questions, please reach out via DM or check out my youtube channel. I have several videos explaining in detail how I use these candles, which are valid and which aren't.
