Multi Length Market Structure (BoS + ChoCh)█ OVERVIEW
The "Multi Length Market Structure (BoS + ChoCh)" indicator is a technical analysis tool that identifies key pivot points on the chart and signals market structure breaks (Break of Structure - BoS) and changes in market character (Change of Character - ChoCh). It is designed for traders employing market structure-based strategies, enabling the identification of critical support and resistance levels and potential trend reversal points. The indicator offers flexible pivot length settings, customizable colors, and labels, ensuring clarity and precision on the chart.
█ CONCEPTS
The indicator was developed to simplify the identification of changes in market structure, catering to both short-term and longer-term trading strategies. To this end, it simultaneously displays breakouts for four editable pivot lengths. The lengths represent the delay, measured in the number of candles, after which a pivot is recognized. Pivots with larger values are often turning points on higher timeframes, providing a broader view of the market.
Why are BoS and ChoCh important? A Break of Structure (BoS) indicates trend continuation when the price breaks a key level (e.g., a previous high or low). A Change of Character (ChoCh) signals a potential trend reversal when the price breaks a level in the opposite direction of the prior trend. These signals help traders identify moments when the market changes its dynamics, which is crucial for price action strategies.
█ FEATURES
- Pivot Detection: Identifies pivot points (highs and lows) based on four different pivot lengths (default: 5, 10, 15, 20), enabling market structure analysis with varying sensitivity.
- BoS and ChoCh Signals: Generates Break of Structure (BoS) signals in the form of triangles (green for bullish, red for bearish) and Change of Character (ChoCh) signals when the price breaks a key level in the opposite direction of the prior trend.
- Pivot Labels: Displays labels for highs (HH - Higher High, LH - Lower High) and lows (HL - Higher Low, LL - Lower Low) with the option to select which pivot to display them for.
- Customizable Colors and Styles: Allows configuration of colors for BoS and ChoCh signals and pivot labels.
- Alerts: Built-in alerts for BoS and ChoCh signals for each pivot length, including price and signal type descriptions.
█ HOW TO USE
Adding to the Chart: Add the indicator to your TradingView chart via the Pine Editor or Indicators menu.
Configuring Settings:
- Pivot Lengths: Set four different pivot lengths (Pivot Length 1-4, default: 5, 10, 15, 20) to adjust the sensitivity of pivot detection. Shorter lengths are more sensitive, while longer lengths are more significant. If you want to use only one length, set all pivot lengths to the same value.
- Colors and Styles: Configure colors for BoS signals (green for bullish, red for bearish) and pivot labels.
- Labels: Enable/disable the display of HH/HL/LH/LL labels and choose which pivot to display them for (Pivot 1-4 or none).
- Signals: BoS and ChoCh signals are displayed as triangles (upward for bullish BoS, downward for bearish). Alerts can be configured for each signal type.
Interpreting Signals:
- Bullish BoS Signal: A green triangle below the candle indicates a breakout above a previous high, suggesting bullish trend continuation.
- Bearish BoS Signal: A red triangle above the candle indicates a breakout below a previous low, suggesting bearish trend continuation.
- Bullish ChoCh Signal: A green triangle after breaking a high in a downtrend indicates a potential reversal to bullish.
- Bearish ChoCh Signal: A red triangle after breaking a low in an uptrend indicates a potential reversal to bearish.
- Pivot Levels: Use pivot points as dynamic support and resistance levels. Levels from longer pivots carry greater significance.
Combine signals with other technical analysis tools, such as RSI (to identify overbought/oversold conditions) or MACD (to confirm momentum). Analyze market structure on higher timeframes for stronger signals. Be particularly cautious when entering positions if RSI approaches overbought/oversold zones and divergences appear, as this may indicate a trend change.
█ APPLICATIONS
- Breakout Strategies: Trade based on BoS signals indicating trend continuation. A BoS signal after breaking a high in an uptrend may suggest a strong bullish impulse, especially when supported by a rising MACD.
- Reversal Strategies: ChoCh signals may indicate a potential trend reversal, particularly when confirmed by other indicators, such as RSI divergences or Fibonacci levels.
Structural Liquidity Signals [BullByte]Structural Liquidity Signals (SFP, FVG, BOS, AVWAP)
Short description
Detects liquidity sweeps (SFPs) at pivots and PD/W levels, highlights the latest FVG, tracks AVWAP stretch, arms percentile extremes, and triggers after confirmed micro BOS.
Full description
What this tool does
Structural Liquidity Signals shows where price likely tapped liquidity (stop clusters), then waits for structure to actually change before it prints a trigger. It spots:
Liquidity sweeps (SFPs) at recent pivots and at prior day/week highs/lows.
The latest Fair Value Gap (FVG) that often “pulls” price or serves as a reaction zone.
How far price is stretched from two VWAP anchors (one from the latest impulse, one from today’s session), scaled by ATR so it adapts to volatility.
A “percentile” extreme of an internal score. At extremes the script “arms” a setup; it only triggers after a small break of structure (BOS) on a closed bar.
Originality and design rationale, why it’s not “just a mashup”
This is not a mashup for its own sake. It’s a purpose-built flow that links where liquidity is likely to rest with how structure actually changes:
- Liquidity location: We focus on areas where stops commonly cluster—recent pivots and prior day/week highs/lows—then detect sweeps (SFPs) when price wicks beyond and closes back inside.
- Displacement context: We track the last Fair Value Gap (FVG) to account for recent inefficiency that often acts as a magnet or reaction zone.
- Stretch measurement: We anchor VWAP to the latest N-bar impulse and to the Daily session, then normalize stretch by ATR to assess dislocation consistently across assets/timeframes.
- Composite exhaustion: We combine stretch, wick skew, and volume surprise, then bend the result with a tanh transform so extremes are bounded and comparable.
- Dynamic extremes and discipline: Rather than triggering on every sweep, we “arm” at statistical extremes via percent-rank and only fire after a confirmed micro Break of Structure (BOS). This separates “interesting” from “actionable.”
Key concepts
SFP (liquidity sweep): A candle briefly trades beyond a level (where stops sit) and closes back inside. We detect these at:
Pivots (recent swing highs/lows confirmed by “left/right” bars).
Prior Day/Week High/Low (PDH/PDL/PWH/PWL).
FVG (Fair Value Gap): A small 3‑bar gap (bar2 high vs bar1 low, or vice versa). The latest gap often acts like a magnet or reaction zone. We track the most recent Up/Down gap and whether price is inside it.
AVWAP stretch: Distance from an Anchored VWAP divided by ATR (volatility). We use:
Impulse AVWAP: resets on each new N‑bar high/low.
Daily AVWAP: resets each new session.
PR (Percentile Rank): Where the current internal score sits versus its own recent history (0..100). We arm shorts at high PR, longs at low PR.
Micro BOS: A small break of the recent high (for longs) or low (for shorts). This is the “go/no‑go” confirmation.
How the parts work together
Find likely liquidity grabs (SFPs) at pivots and PD/W levels.
Add context from the latest FVG and AVWAP stretch (how far price is from “fair”).
Build a bounded score (so different markets/timeframes are comparable) and compute its percentile (PR).
Arm at extremes (high PR → short candidate; low PR → long candidate).
Only print a trigger after a micro BOS, on a closed bar, with spacing/cooldown rules.
What you see on the chart (legend)
Lines:
Teal line = Impulse AVWAP (resets on new N‑bar extreme).
Aqua line = Daily AVWAP (resets each session).
PDH/PDL/PWH/PWL = prior day/week levels (toggle on/off).
Zones:
Greenish box = latest Up FVG; Reddish box = latest Down FVG.
The shading/border changes after price trades back through it.
SFP labels:
SFP‑P = SFP at Pivot (dotted line marks that pivot’s price).
SFP‑L = SFP at Level (at PDH/PDL/PWH/PWL).
Throttle: To reduce clutter, SFPs are rate‑limited per direction.
Triggers:
Triangle up = long trigger after BOS; triangle down = short trigger after BOS.
Optional badge shows direction and PR at the moment of trigger.
Optional Trigger Zone is an ATR‑sized box around the trigger bar’s close (for visualization only).
Background:
Light green/red shading = a long/short setup is “armed” (not a trigger).
Dashboard (Mini/Pro) — what each item means
PR: Percentile of the internal score (0..100). Near 0 = bullish extreme, near 100 = bearish extreme.
Gauge: Text bar that mirrors PR.
State: Idle, Armed Long (with a countdown), or Armed Short.
Cooldown: Bars remaining before a new setup can arm after a trigger.
Bars Since / Last Px: How long since last trigger and its price.
FVG: Whether price is in the latest Up/Down FVG.
Imp/Day VWAP Dist, PD Dist(ATR): Distance from those references in ATR units.
ATR% (Gate), Trend(HTF): Status of optional regime filters (volatility/trend).
How to use it (step‑by‑step)
Keep the Safety toggles ON (default): triggers/visuals on bar‑close, optional confirmed HTF for trend slope.
Choose timeframe:
Intraday (5m–1h) or Swing (1h–4h). On very fast/thin charts, enable Performance mode and raise spacing/cooldown.
Watch the dashboard:
When PR reaches an extreme and an SFP context is present, the background shades (armed).
Wait for the trigger triangle:
It prints only after a micro BOS on a closed bar and after spacing/cooldown checks.
Use the Trigger Zone box as a visual reference only:
This script never tells you to buy/sell. Apply your own plan for entry, stop, and sizing.
Example:
Bullish: Sweep under PDL (SFP‑L) and reclaim; PR in lower tail arms long; BOS up confirms → long trigger on bar close (ATR-sized trigger zone shown).
Bearish: Sweep above PDH/pivot (SFP‑L/P) and reject; PR in upper tail arms short; BOS down confirms → short trigger on bar close (ATR-sized trigger zone shown).
Settings guide (with “when to adjust”)
Safety & Stability (defaults ON)
Confirm triggers at bar close, Draw visuals at bar close: Keep ON for clean, stable prints.
Use confirmed HTF values: Applies to HTF trend slope only; keeps it from changing until the HTF bar closes.
Performance mode: Turn ON if your chart is busy or laggy.
Core & Context
ATR Length: Bigger = smoother distances; smaller = more reactive.
Impulse AVWAP Anchor: Larger = fewer resets; smaller = resets more often.
Show Daily AVWAP: ON if you want session context.
Use last FVG in logic: ON to include FVG context in arming/score.
Show PDH/PDL/PWH/PWL: ON to see prior day/week levels that often attract sweeps.
Liquidity & Microstructure
Pivot Left/Right: Higher values = stronger/rarer pivots.
Min Wick Ratio (0..1): Higher = only more pronounced SFP wicks qualify.
BOS length: Larger = stricter BOS; smaller = quicker confirmations.
Signal persistence: Keeps SFP context alive for a few bars to avoid flicker.
Signal Gating
Percent‑Rank Lookback: Larger = more stable extremes; smaller = more reactive extremes.
Arm thresholds (qHi/qLo): Move closer to 0.5 to see more arms; move toward 0/1 to see fewer arms.
TTL, Cooldown, Min bars and Min ATR distance: Space out triggers so you’re not reacting to minor noise.
Regime Filters (optional)
ATR percentile gate: Only allow triggers when volatility is at/above a set percentile.
HTF trend gate: Only allow longs when the HTF slope is up (and shorts when it’s down), above a minimum slope.
Visuals & UX
Only show “important” SFPs: Filters pivot SFPs by Volume Z and |Impulse stretch|.
Trigger badges/history and Max badge count: Control label clutter.
Compact labels: Toggle SFP‑P/L vs full names.
Dashboard mode and position; Dark theme.
Reading PR (the built‑in “oscillator”)
PR ~ 0–10: Potential bullish extreme (long side can arm).
PR ~ 90–100: Potential bearish extreme (short side can arm).
Important: “Armed” ≠ “Enter.” A trigger still needs a micro BOS on a closed bar and spacing/cooldown to pass.
Repainting, confirmations, and HTF notes
By default, prints wait for the bar to close; this reduces repaint‑like effects.
Pivot SFPs only appear after the pivot confirms (after the chosen “right” bars).
PD/W levels come from the prior completed candles and do not change intraday.
If you enable confirmed HTF values, the HTF slope will not change until its higher‑timeframe bar completes (safer but slightly delayed).
Performance tips
If labels/zones clutter or the chart lags:
Turn ON Performance mode.
Hide FVG or the Trigger Zone.
Reduce badge history or turn badge history off.
If price scaling looks compressed:
Keep optional “score”/“PR” plots OFF (they overlay price and can affect scaling).
Alerts (neutral)
Structural Liquidity: LONG TRIGGER
Structural Liquidity: SHORT TRIGGER
These fire when a trigger condition is met on a confirmed bar (with defaults).
Limitations and risk
Not every sweep/extreme reverses; false triggers occur, especially on thin markets and low timeframes.
This indicator does not provide entries, exits, or position sizing—use your own plan and risk control.

HH HL LH LL + BOS / CHoCHHH HL LH LL + BOS / CHoCH Structure Indicator (ATR Adaptive)
This indicator provides a complete market structure framework using swing-based pivots, real-time trend detection, BOS (Break of Structure), CHoCH (Change of Character), and optional ATR-adaptive swing sensitivity.
🔹 Core Features
1. Market Structure Labels
The script detects and labels:
HH – Higher High
LH – Lower High
HL – Higher Low
LL – Lower Low
These labels help visualize trend continuation or weakness in structure.
Each label type can be individually toggled ON/OFF in settings.
2. ATR-Based Adaptive Swing Length (Optional)
Swing pivots can be calculated using:
A fixed manual swing length, or
A dynamic ATR-based swing length that adjusts automatically to volatility.
Increasing volatility → longer swings
Decreasing volatility → tighter swings
This makes structure detection more stable and timeframe-adaptive.
3. Close-Based Break of Structure (BOS)
The indicator identifies a BOS when:
Price closes above the previous swing high (Bullish BOS↑)
Price closes below the previous swing low (Bearish BOS↓)
BOS labels can be turned ON/OFF without affecting internal calculations.
4. CHoCH (Change of Character)
CHoCH is triggered when a BOS occurs against the current trend, indicating a potential trend reversal:
CHoCH↑ – Bearish → Bullish reversal
CHoCH↓ – Bullish → Bearish reversal
CHoCH remains active even when BOS labels are turned off.
5. Alerts
The indicator provides alert conditions for:
CHoCH↑ (Bullish Trend Shift)
CHoCH↓ (Bearish Trend Shift)
This allows traders to automate notifications for significant trend changes.
6. Trend State Tracking
The script internally tracks the current structure-based trend:
Uptrend
Downtrend
Undefined
The trend updates dynamically based on real BOS events.
7. Fully Backwards Compatible
The indicator generates structure, BOS, and CHoCH even when scrolling back deep in chart history, thanks to extended max_bars_back handling.
Summary
This tool provides a complete, flexible, and non-repainting framework for market structure analysis, suitable for:
SMC/ICT traders
Swing & intraday traders
Trend traders
Price action analysts
With adaptive swing detection, clean structure labeling, BOS/CHoCH logic, and alert integration, the indicator helps traders understand market transitions with clarity and precision.
EBL - Enhanced BOS LogicEBL - Enhanced BOS Logic
The EBL (Enhanced Break of Structure Logic) script is a powerful tool for traders who want to identify and act on key structural shifts in the market. By combining visual cues, such as horizontal lines and dynamic arrows, the script highlights critical points of interest where market behavior may indicate significant bullish or bearish momentum.
What Makes EBL Unique?
Break of Structure (BOS) Identification:
The script dynamically detects when price breaks above or below significant highs and lows, marking these levels as key BOS points.
Once a BOS level is confirmed, it is displayed on the chart as a horizontal line, allowing traders to easily identify areas of potential support and resistance.
Real-Time Validation and Invalidations:
Bullish BOS levels remain active until a bearish candle closes below the initiating bullish candle.
Similarly, bearish BOS levels remain active until a bullish candle closes above the initiating bearish candle.
If a BOS level is invalidated, both the corresponding line and its arrow are automatically removed to maintain chart clarity.
Visual Clarity with Arrows and Lines:
Customizable triangle arrows (green for bullish and red for bearish) appear alongside lines to signal entry opportunities.
Traders can adjust line length, colors, and visibility of arrows to fit their charting style.
Alerts for Confirmation:
Receive alerts when bullish or bearish structures are confirmed, ensuring you never miss a signal even when away from your chart.
How the Script Works
Detection of Bullish and Bearish Structures:
The script identifies a "Bullish Break" when the price closes above the high of a bullish candle followed by a bearish one.
A "Bearish Break" is detected when the price closes below the low of a bearish candle followed by a bullish one.
Line and Arrow Placement:
Horizontal lines are drawn at the high or low of the respective BOS level.
Triangular arrows are plotted just below or above the respective levels to indicate potential trade opportunities.
Automatic Cleanup:
When a line is invalidated by opposing market movement, both the line and its connected arrow are automatically removed from the chart.
How to Use EBL
Settings:
Adjust line colors (green for bullish, red for bearish) to suit your charting theme.
Customize arrow visibility or hide lines if you prefer a less cluttered chart.
Set the horizontal line length to match your desired timeframe and analysis depth.
Trading Concepts:
Trend Reversal Zones: Use invalidated BOS levels as signals for possible trend reversals.
Momentum Trading: Follow confirmed BOS levels to identify areas where price momentum is likely to continue.
Dynamic Support and Resistance: Leverage the lines to identify evolving support and resistance zones.
Alerts:
Enable alerts to receive notifications when bullish or bearish trends are confirmed, allowing you to stay informed without constant monitoring.
Conceptual Basis
This script is based on the widely used market structure concept, which is fundamental to price action trading. By tracking the highs and lows created by bullish and bearish movements, the EBL script provides an objective and systematic approach to identifying and trading key structural points in the market.
With the EBL - Enhanced BOS Logic, traders can visually and systematically track market structure, identify potential trade setups, and maintain a cleaner chart with automated line and arrow management. This script is ideal for trend-following, scalping, and swing trading strategies across all markets and timeframes.
ICT SMC Custom — BOS/MSS + OB + FVGWant me to fill that box? Here’s a ready‑to‑paste description for your publish screen:
⸻
ICT SMC Custom — BOS/MSS + OB + FVG (Crypto‑friendly)
A clean Smart Money Concepts tool that marks Break of Structure (BOS), Market Structure Shift (MSS), Order Blocks (OB), and Fair Value Gaps (FVG) with bold, easy‑to‑see visuals. Built for crypto but works on any market and timeframe.
What it does
• BOS & MSS detection with optional body/wick logic
• Order Blocks: auto‑draws the last opposite candle before a BOS, keeps only the most recent N, and fades when mitigated
• FVGs: 3‑candle gaps with a minimum size filter and a cap on how many to keep
• HTF Swings (optional): plots higher‑timeframe pivot highs/lows for top‑down context
• Alerts for BOS/MSS and FVG formation
Inputs
• Swing pivot length (default 3): sensitivity for structure pivots
• Use candle bodies for breaks: close vs level (on) or wicks (off)
• Show BOS/MSS labels, Show FVG, Show Order Blocks
• Min FVG size (ticks) and Max boxes to keep for FVG/OB
• OB uses candle body: body range vs full wick range
• Show higher timeframe swings + HTF timeframe
• Bullish/Bearish colors
How it works
• BOS triggers when price breaks the last opposite swing.
• MSS flags when the break flips the prior bias.
• OB is the most recent opposite candle prior to BOS; it’s marked and later greyed out once price closes through it (mitigation).
• FVG is detected when candle 1’s high < candle 3’s low (bear) or candle 1’s low > candle 3’s high (bull).
Alerts included
• BOS Up / BOS Down
• MSS Up / MSS Down
• FVG Up / FVG Down
Tips
• Start on 15m/1h for crypto, pivot length 3–5.
• Turn Use candle bodies ON for stricter confirmations, OFF for more signals.
• If boxes look cluttered, lower “Max boxes to keep.”
Note: This is a visual/educational tool, not financial advice. Always confirm with your own plan and risk management.
Support & Resistance External/Internal & BoS [sgbpulse]Market Structure Support & Resistance External/Internal & BoS
Overview: Smart & Fast Market Structure Analysis
The Market Structure "Support & Resistance External/Internal & BoS " indicator is designed to empower your technical analysis by automatically and precisely identifying significant support and resistance levels. It achieves this by pinpointing high and low Pivot Points, plus key Pre-Market High/Low levels.
Its unique strength lies in its dynamic adaptability to any timeframe and any asset you choose. This tool analyzes the relevant market structure for the current timeframe and asset, providing you with accurate and relevant levels in real-time. The indicator maintains a clean chart and swiftly displays all support, resistance, and Pre-Market levels for any asset, saving valuable analysis time and enabling you to get a clear and quick snapshot of the market.
How the Indicator Works
The indicator identifies and displays three critical types of key levels:
External Pivots: These are more significant pivot points, indicating important reversal points across a broader range of price movement, considering the current timeframe. The indicator draws dark green support lines (for low pivots) and dark red resistance lines (for high pivots) from these points.
Internal Pivots: These are shorter-term pivot points, signifying smaller corrections or reversals within the overall structure of the current timeframe. These lines provide additional areas of interest within the ranges of the External Pivots.
Pre-Market High/Low Levels: The indicator displays the High and Low reached during pre-market hours as distinct lines on the chart. Please note: These levels will only appear when the selected timeframe is lower than one day (e.g., 1-hour, 15-minute) and provided that the "Session extended trading hours" option is enabled in your TradingView chart settings. These levels are crucial for identifying potential opening ranges and critical support/resistance areas upon regular market open, especially for intraday trading.
Break of Structure (BoS) Identification
A key feature of this indicator is its ability to identify Break of Structure (BoS). When a support or resistance line is breached, the indicator changes the line's color to gray and displays a "Break of Structure" label, indicating a potential trend change or continuation:
External BoS: When an external support/resistance line is broken, a "BoS" label in red will appear. This is a strong signal for a potential shift in the primary market structure or a strong trend continuation.
Internal BoS: When an internal support/resistance line is broken, an "iBoS" label in green will appear. This indicates a break within the existing market structure, which can be used to confirm direction or identify shorter-term entry/exit opportunities.
Full Indicator Customization
The indicator provides maximum flexibility to suit any trading style and timeframe:
Number of Lines Displayed: You can choose how many support and resistance lines you want to see on your chart. The default is 15 lines, but you can increase or decrease this number according to your needs and desired level of detail.

Financial markets are dynamic, and trading always carries inherent risk.
Enhanced BOS Strategy with SL/TP and EMA TableDescription:
The Enhanced BOS (Break of Structure) Strategy is an advanced open-source trading indicator designed to identify key market structure changes, integrated with dynamic Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) levels, along with an informative EMA (Exponential Moving Average) table for added trend analysis.
Key Features:
Break of Structure (BOS) Detection:
The script detects bullish and bearish BOS by identifying pivot points using a custom pivot period. When the price crosses above or below these points, it signals a potential market trend reversal or continuation.
Dynamic SL/TP Levels:
Users can toggle static SL/TP settings, which automatically calculate levels based on user-defined points. These levels are visualized on the chart with dotted lines and labeled for clarity.
Volume Filters:
The strategy includes a volume condition filter to ensure that only trades within a specified volume range are considered. This helps in avoiding low-volume trades that might lead to false signals.
EMA Table Display:
An on-chart table displaying the current values of the 13-period, 50-period, and 200-period EMAs. This provides a quick reference for trend identification and confirmation, helping traders to stay aligned with the broader market trend.
How It Works:
The script utilizes a combination of moving averages and pivot points to identify potential breakouts or breakdowns in market structure. When a bullish BOS is detected, and the volume conditions are met, the strategy suggests a long position, marking potential SL/TP levels. Similarly, it suggests short positions for bearish BOS.
The EMA table serves as a visual aid, providing real-time updates of the EMA values, allowing traders to gauge the market’s directional bias quickly.
How to Use:
Setting Parameters:
Adjust the pivot period to fine-tune BOS detection according to your trading style and the asset’s volatility.
Configure the SL/TP settings based on your risk tolerance and target profit levels.
Interpreting Signals:
A “Buy” label on the chart indicates a bullish BOS with volume confirmation, signaling a potential long entry.
A “Sell” label indicates a bearish BOS with volume confirmation, signaling a potential short entry.
The EMA table aids in confirming these signals, where the position of the fast, mid, and slow EMAs can provide additional context to the trend’s strength and direction.
Volume Filtering:
Ensure your trades are filtered through the script’s volume condition, which allows for the exclusion of low-volume periods that might generate unreliable signals.
Unique Value:
Unlike many other BOS strategies, this script integrates volume conditions and a visual EMA table, providing a comprehensive toolkit for traders looking to capture market structure shifts while maintaining an eye on trend direction and trade execution precision.
Additional Information:
This script is designed for use on standard bar or candlestick charts for best results.
It is open-source and free to use, encouraging collaboration and improvement by the TradingView community.
By combining powerful trend-following EMAs with the precision of BOS detection and the safety of volume filtering, the Enhanced BOS Strategy offers a balanced approach to trading market structure changes.

Golden BOS Strategy — Description
The Golden BOS Strategy is a structured, multi-timeframe trading system designed to capture high-probability continuation moves during London and New York sessions. The strategy combines institutional concepts with Fibonacci-based retracements to identify discounted entry zones aligned with higher-timeframe direction.
Using the 4H timeframe, traders establish the daily macro bias and identify the dominant trend. The 1H chart is then used to confirm the current phase of market structure, distinguishing between impulsive “push” moves and corrective “pullback” phases. A Fibonacci retracement is applied to the most recent 1H impulse leg to define a high-value discount or premium zone where entries become valid.
Execution takes place on the 5-minute chart. Once price reaches the 1H golden zone (61.8–78.6%), a Break of Structure (BOS) is required to confirm a shift in short-term momentum. A second Fibonacci retracement is then drawn on the 5M impulse leg that caused the BOS, and price must retrace back into the 5M golden zone. Traders refine their entry using a confluence point of interest (POI) such as a Fair Value Gap (FVG), Order Block, Breaker Block, or Inverse FVG, ideally accompanied by a final micro BOS or rejection candle.
Risk management is strict and rule-driven. Stop loss is placed beyond the extreme wick of the POI, while take-profit targets are set at logical liquidity pools in the direction of the higher-timeframe trend. The strategy avoids red-folder news and only allows trades during active sessions to ensure optimal volatility and reliability.
The Golden BOS Strategy is designed to impose discipline, reduce discretionary errors, and give traders a repeatable, mechanical framework for navigating trending markets with precision.
Liquidity Sweep + BOS Retest System — Prop Firm Edition🟦 Liquidity Sweep + BOS Retest System — Prop Firm Edition
A High-Probability Smart Money Strategy Built for NQ, ES, and Funding Accounts
🚀 Overview
The Liquidity Sweep + BOS Retest System (Prop Firm Edition) is a precision-engineered SMC strategy built specifically for prop firm traders. It mirrors institutional liquidity behavior and combines it with strict account-safe entry rules to help traders pass and maintain funding accounts with consistency.
Unlike typical indicators, this system waits for three confirmations — liquidity sweep, displacement, and a clean retest — before executing any trade. Every component is optimized for low drawdown, high R:R, and prop-firm-approved risk management.
Whether you’re trading Apex, TakeProfitTrader, FFF, or OneUp Trader, this system gives you a powerful mechanical framework that keeps you within rules while identifying the market’s highest-probability reversal zones.
🔥 Key Features
1. Liquidity Sweep Detection (Stop Hunt Logic)
Automatically identifies when price clears a previous swing high/low with a sweep confirmation candle.
✔ Filters noise
✔ Eliminates early entries
✔ Locks onto true liquidity grabs
2. Automatic Break of Structure (BOS) Confirmation
Price must show true displacement by breaking structure opposite the sweep direction.
✔ Confirms momentum shift
✔ Removes fake reversals
✔ Ensures institutional intent
3. Precision Retest Entry Model
The strategy enters only when price retests the BOS level at premium/discount pricing.
✔ Zero chasing
✔ Extremely tight stop loss placement
✔ Prop-firm-friendly controlled risk
4. Built-In Risk & Trade Management
SL set at swept liquidity
TP set by user-defined R:R multiplier
Optional session filter (NY Open by default)
One trade at a time (no pyramiding)
Automatically resets logic after each trade
This prevents overtrading — the #1 cause of evaluation and account breaches.
5. Designed for Prop Firm Futures Trading
This script is optimized for:
Trailing/static drawdown accounts
Micro contract precision
Funding evaluations
Low-risk, high-probability setups
Structured, rule-based execution
It reduces randomness and emotional trading by automating the highest-quality SMC sequence.
🎯 The Trading Model Behind the System
Step 1 — Liquidity Sweep
Price must take out a recent high/low and close back inside structure.
This confirms stop-hunting behavior and marks the beginning of a potential reversal.
Step 2 — BOS (Break of Structure)
Price must break the opposite side swing with a displacement candle. This validates a directional shift.
Step 3 — Retest Entry
The system waits for price to retrace into the BOS level and signal continuation.
This creates optimal R:R entry with minimal drawdown.

Good Luck -BG
EBL - Enigma BOS Logic Select Higher Time FrameThe "EBL – Enigma BOS Logic" is a unique multi-timeframe trading indicator designed for traders who rely on structured price action and key level retests to find high-probability trade opportunities. This indicator automates the identification of significant price levels on a higher timeframe, plots them across all lower timeframes, and provides actionable signals (buy/sell) when price retests those levels. It is ideal for traders who focus on lower timeframes for precise entries while using higher timeframe structure for trend confirmation.
How the Indicator Works
Key Level Detection:
The indicator allows the user to select a key level timeframe (e.g., 1H, 4H, Daily, Weekly). It then identifies Break of Structure (BOS) levels on the selected timeframe.
When a bullish-to-bearish or bearish-to-bullish reversal is detected on the selected timeframe, the corresponding high or low of the reversal candle is stored as a key level.
These key levels are plotted as horizontal lines on all lower timeframes, helping the trader visualize critical support and resistance zones across multiple timeframes.
Retest Confirmation:
Once a key level is established, the indicator continuously monitors the price action on lower timeframes.
If the price touches or crosses a key level, it is considered a retest, and an alert is generated.
The indicator plots a retest marker (customizable as a circle or diamond) at the exact price level where the retest occurred, providing a clear visual cue for the trader.
Trading Signals:
When a retest is detected, a table is displayed on the chart with the following information:
The trading pair.
The signal direction (Buy/Sell).
The price at which the retest occurred.
This table gives traders instant insight into actionable opportunities, making it easier to focus on live market conditions without missing critical retests.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: The indicator focuses on a higher timeframe selected by the user, ensuring that only the most relevant key levels are plotted for lower timeframe trading.
Dynamic Retest Signals: It dynamically identifies when price retests a key level and provides both visual markers and real-time alerts.
Customizable Retest Markers: Users can customize the retest marker's shape (circle/diamond) and color to suit their preferences.
Signal Table: A built-in table displays clear buy or sell signals when retests occur, ensuring that traders have all the necessary information at a glance.
Alerts: The indicator supports real-time alerts for retests, helping traders stay informed even when they are not actively monitoring the chart.
How to Use the Indicator
Select a Key Level Timeframe:
In the input settings, choose a higher timeframe (e.g., 4H or Daily) to define key levels.
The indicator will calculate Break of Structure (BOS) levels on the selected timeframe and plot them as horizontal lines across all lower timeframes.
Monitor Lower Timeframes for Retests:
Switch to a lower timeframe (e.g., 15m, 5m) to wait for price to approach the key levels plotted by the indicator.
When a retest occurs, observe the signal table and retest marker for actionable trade signals.
Act on Buy/Sell Signals:
Use the information provided by the signal table to make trading decisions.
For a buy signal, wait for bullish confirmation (e.g., price holding above the retested level).
For a sell signal, wait for bearish confirmation (e.g., price holding below the retested level).
Trading Concepts and Underlying Logic
The indicator is based on the Break of Structure (BOS) concept, a core principle in price action trading. BOS levels represent points where the market shifts its trend direction, making them critical zones for potential reversals or continuations.
By focusing on higher timeframe BOS levels, the indicator helps traders align their lower timeframe entries with the overall market trend.
The concept of retests is used to confirm the validity of a key level. A retest occurs when the price returns to a previously identified BOS level, offering a high-probability entry point.
Use Cases
Scalping: Traders who prefer lower timeframe scalping can use the indicator to align their trades with higher timeframe key levels, increasing the likelihood of successful trades.
Swing Trading: Swing traders can use the indicator to identify key reversal zones on higher timeframes and plan their trades accordingly.
Intraday Trading: Intraday traders can benefit from the real-time alerts and signals generated by the indicator, ensuring they never miss critical retests during active trading hours.
Conclusion
The "EBL – Enigma BOS Logic" is a powerful tool for traders who want to enhance their price action trading by focusing on key levels and retests across multiple timeframes. By automating the identification of BOS levels and providing clear retest signals, it helps traders make more informed and confident trading decisions. Whether you are a scalper, intraday trader, or swing trader, this indicator offers valuable insights to improve your trading performance.
FTR Rules BoS/ChoCh MarkupThis indicator marks Break of Structure (BoS) and Change of Character (ChoCh) in the price structure on your charts. It runs on any timeframe. This indicator is useful for determining if you are seeing a trend change in the market or if you are only seeing a pullback with the market continuing in the direction of the trend. The indicator will look for price to break the previous BoS line or ChoCh line to mark a new BoS. When a BoS line is broken, it will then look for the lowest or highest pullback (depending on which way the market is trending) between to 2 BoS lines to mark the ChoCh line. When the ChoCh line is broken, it will mark that line as BoS and the previous BoS line will become ChoCh.
What makes this indicator unique from other BoS and ChoCh indicators is that it follows specific rules used by the FTR Trading group. The main difference is that the ChoCh line isn't changed to a BoS line from only a candle wick break. You will need a candle body break to move your BoS line to ChoCh. If a candle wick breaks your ChoCh line, you simply extend the ChoCh line to the new high or low of the wick. There are smaller differences that are proprietary to the FTR strategy.
Market Structure Report Library [TradingFinder]🔵 Introduction
Market Structure is one of the most fundamental concepts in Price Action and Smart Money theory. In simple terms, it represents how price moves between highs and lows and reveals which phase of the market cycle we are currently in uptrend, downtrend, or transition.
Each structure in the market is formed by a combination of Breaks of Structure (BoS) and Changes of Character (CHoCH) :
BoS occurs when the market breaks a previous high or low, confirming the continuation of the current trend.
CHoCH occurs when price breaks in the opposite direction for the first time, signaling a potential trend reversal.
Since price movement is inherently fractal, market structure can be analyzed on two distinct levels :
Major / External Structure: represents the dominant macro trend.
Minor / Internal Structure: represents corrective or smaller-scale movements within the larger trend.
🔵 Library Purpose
The “Market Structure Report Library” is designed to automatically detect the current market structure type in real time.
Without drawing or displaying any visuals, it analyzes raw price data and returns a series of logical and textual outputs (Return Values) that describe the current structural state of the market.
It provides the following information :
Trend Type :
External Trend (Major): Up Trend, Down Trend, No Trend
Internal Trend (Minor): Up Trend, Down Trend, No Trend
Structure Type :
BoS : Confirms trend continuation
CHoCH : Indicates a potential trend reversal
Consecutive BoS Counter : Measures trend strength on both Major and Minor levels.
Candle Type : Returns the current candle’s condition(Bullish, Bearish, Doji)
This library is specifically designed for use in Smart Money–based screeners, indicators, and algorithmic strategies.
It can analyze multiple symbols and timeframes simultaneously and return the exact structure type (BoS or CHoCH) and trend direction for each.

Internal/External Market Structure [UAlgo]The "Internal/External Market Structure " indicator is a tool designed to identify and visualize internal and external market structure based on swing highs and lows. It helps traders understand short-term (internal) and long-term (external) price behavior.
🔶 What are ChoCH and BoS?
Change of Character (ChoCH)
Change of character refers to the reversal of market trend either from bullish to bearish or bearish to bullish. ChoCH is also a break of market structure but in opposite direction.
If market is in bullish trend but it breaks it previous (higher) low and makes a lower low, it will be termed a “bearish change of character” as price changed its trend from bullish to bearish.
Like wise if price is in bearish trend and it breaks its previous (lower) high making a higher high it will be marked as “bullish change of character” as price changed its trend from bearish to bullish.
Break of Structure (BoS)
When price breaks its structure in direction of previous trend its called break of structure (BoS). So its a trend continuation pattern.
As you know in bullish trend price makes higher highs. Each time when price break a previous high and marks a new high its known as bullish break of structure.
But in bearish trend price makes lower lows so every time when price breaks previous low and makes a new low it is called as bearish break of structure.
🔶 Key Features
Internal Swing Length: Allowing for fine-tuning of sensitivity to smaller, more frequent market movements.
External Swing Length: Focusing on capturing broader market trends.
The indicator differentiates between internal and external market structures, using different styles and colors to represent each. Internal structures are shown with solid lines, while external structures use dashed lines, providing clear visual cues.
Internal Market Structure:
The internal market structure focuses on shorter-term swings and is useful for identifying minor trend changes and short-term price movements. Breaks of internal swing highs or lows can indicate potential changes in the market's direction or momentum. The labels "CHoCH" and "BoS" help distinguish between changes in character and break of structure events, respectively.
External Market Structure:
The external market structure captures larger, more significant market moves. It is particularly useful for identifying major trend changes and key support and resistance levels. The dashed lines and corresponding labels "CHoCH+" and "BoS+" indicate more substantial shifts in market sentiment.
For BoS (Break of Structure):
For ChoCH (Change of Character):

UTS CORE + BOS + CHOCH – RR/TP/SL 📊 Indicator Working Principle
### 🔹 1. BOS (Break of Structure)
* **Definition:** Occurs when the price breaks the previous swing high or swing low level.
* **Interpretation:**
* If the last high is broken upwards → **Bullish BOS** (confirmation of uptrend).
* If the last low is broken downwards → **Bearish BOS** (confirmation of downtrend).
---
### 🔹 2. CHOCH (Change of Character)
* **Definition:** Indicates a trend reversal.
* **Interpretation:**
* In an uptrend, if the last low is broken downwards → **CHOCH↓** (start of downtrend).
* In a downtrend, if the last high is broken upwards → **CHOCH↑** (start of uptrend).
* **Chart:** Blue “CHOCH↑” labels on the chart mark trend reversals.
---
### 🔹 3. FVG (Fair Value Gap)
* **Definition:** A price gap formed between 3 candles.
* **Logic:**
* If the low of one candle stays above the high of the candle two bars back, a gap is created.
* Price tends to return to these gaps to “fill” them.
* **Chart:** The indicator highlights these gaps automatically (green/purple lines).
---
### 🔹 4. Signal Generation (BUY / SELL)
* A valid BOS or CHOCH confirmation + presence of FVG → **signal is triggered.**
* **Rules:**
* Upward break → **BUY signal**
* Downward break → **SELL signal**
* **Chart:** Red “SELL” and green “BUY” labels represent these trade signals.
---
### 🔹 5. RR – TP/SL Management
* When a trade is opened, the indicator automatically calculates **Entry, Stop Loss (SL), and Take Profits (TP1, TP2, TP3).**
* **Risk/Reward ratios:**
* TP1 = 1R
* TP2 = 2R
* TP3 = 3R
* If TP1 is hit and “Breakeven” option is enabled → SL moves to entry (risk-free trade).
---
👉 In short: this indicator tracks **market structure (BOS/CHOCH)**, detects **imbalances (FVG)**, and combines them with **risk/reward management (TP/SL)** to give you a ready-made trade

• Detects market structure via confirmed swing highs/lows using a rolling window.
• Draws Supply/Demand zones (bearish/bullish rectangles) from the latest MSS (CHOCH or BOS) event.
• Computes intra zone Fib guide rails and keeps them extended in real time.
• Triggers BUY only inside bullish zones and SELL only inside bearish zones when price touches the selected fib and closes back beyond it (bounce confirmation).
• Optional labels print BULL/BEAR + fib next to the triangle markers.
What it does
Finds structure using confirmed swing highs/lows (you choose the confirmation length).
Builds the latest zone (bullish = demand, bearish = supply) after a CHOCH/BOS event.
Draws intra-zone “guide rails” (Fib lines) and extends them live.
Signals only with the trend of that zone:
BUY inside a bullish zone when price tags the selected Fib and closes back above it.
SELL inside a bearish zone when price tags the selected Fib and closes back below it.
Optional labels print BULL/BEAR + Fib next to triangles for quick context
Why this is different
Most “zone + fib + signal” tools bolt together several indicators, or fire counter-trend signals because they don’t fully respect structure. TFZB is intentionally minimal:
Single bias source: the latest confirmed zone defines direction; nothing else overrides it.
Single entry rule: one Fib bounce (0.3/0.5/0.6 selectable) inside that zone—no counter-trend trades by design.
Clean visuals: you can show only the most recent zone, clamp overlap, and keep just the rails that matter.
Deterministic & transparent: every plot/label comes from the code you see—no external series or hidden smoothing
How it helps traders
Cuts decision noise: you always know the bias and the only entry that matters right now.
Forces discipline: if price isn’t inside the active zone, you don’t trade.
Adapts to volatility: pick 0.3 in strong trends, 0.5 as the default, 0.6 in chop.
Non-repainting zones: swings are confirmed after Structure Length bars, then used to build zones that extend forward (they don’t “teleport” later)
How it works (details)
*Structure confirmation
A swing high/low is only confirmed after Structure Length bars have elapsed; the dot is plotted back on the original bar using offset. Expect a confirmation delay of about Structure Length × timeframe.
*Zone creation
After a CHOCH/BOS (momentum shift / break of prior swing), TFZB draws the new Supply/Demand zone from the swing anchors and sets it active.
*Fib guide rails
Inside the active zone TFZB projects up to five Fib lines (defaults: 0.3 / 0.5 / 0.7) and extends them as time passes.
*Entry logic (with-trend only)
BUY: bar’s low ≤ fib and close > fib inside a bullish zone.
SELL: bar’s high ≥ fib and close < fib inside a bearish zone.
*Optionally restrict to one signal per zone to avoid over-trading.
(Optional) Aggressive confirm-bar entry
When do the swing dots print?
* The code confirms a swing only after `structureLen` bars have elapsed since that candidate high/low.
* On a 5-min chart with `structureLen = 10`, that’s about 50 minutes later.
* When the swing confirms, the script plots the dot back on the original bar (via `offset = -structureLen`). So you *see* the dot on the old bar, but it only appears on the chart once the confirming bar arrives.
> Practical takeaway: expect swing markers to appear roughly `structureLen × timeframe` later. Zones and signals are built from those confirmed swings.
Best timeframe for this Indicator
Use the timeframe that matches your holding period and the noise level of the instrument:
* Intraday :
* 5m or 15m are the sweet spots.
* Suggested `structureLen`:
* 5m: 10–14 (confirmation delay \~50–70 min)
* 15m: 8–10 (confirmation delay \~2–2.5 hours)
* Keep Entry Fib at 0.5 to start; try 0.3 in strong trends, 0.6 in chop.
* Tip: avoid the first 10–15 minutes after the open; let the initial volatility set the early structure.
* Swing/overnight:
* 1h or 4h.
* `structureLen`:
* 1h: 6–10 (6–10 hours confirmation)
* 4h: 5–8 (20–32 hours confirmation)
* 1m scalping: not recommended here—the confirmation lag relative to the noise makes zones less reliable.
Inputs (all groups)
Structure
• Show Swing Points (structureTog)
o Plots small dots on the bar where a swing point is confirmed (offset back by Structure Length).
• Structure Length (structureLen)
o Lookback used to confirm swing highs/lows and determine local structure. Higher = fewer, stronger swings; lower = more reactive.
Zones
• Show Last (zoneDispNum)
o Maximum number of zones kept on the chart when Display All Zones is off.
• Display All Zones (dispAll)
o If on, ignores Show Last and keeps all zones/levels.
• Zone Display (zoneFilter): Bullish Only / Bearish Only / Both
o Filters which zone types are drawn and eligible for signals.
• Clean Up Level Overlap (noOverlap)
o Prevents fib lines from overlapping when a new zone starts near the previous one (clamps line start/end times for readability).
Fib Levels
Each row controls whether a fib is drawn and how it looks:
• Toggle (f1Tog…f5Tog): Show/hide a given fib line.
• Level (f1Lvl…f5Lvl): Numeric ratio in . Defaults active: 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 (0 and 1 off by default).
• Line Style (f1Style…f5Style): Solid / Dashed / Dotted.
• Bull/Bear Colors (f#BullColor, f#BearColor): Per-fib color in bullish vs bearish zones.
Style
• Structure Color: Dot color for confirmed swing points.
• Bullish Zone Color / Bearish Zone Color: Rectangle fills (transparent by default).
Signals
• Entry Fib for Signals (entryFibSel): Choose 0.3, 0.5 (default), or 0.6 as the trigger line.
• Show Buy/Sell Signals (showSignals): Toggles triangle markers on/off.
• One Signal Per Zone (oneSignalPerZone): If on, suppresses additional entries within the same zone after the first trigger.
• Show Signal Text Labels (Bull/Bear + Fib) (showSignalLabels): Adds a small label next to each triangle showing zone bias and the fib used (e.g., BULL 0.5 or BEAR 0.3).
How TFZB decides signals
With trend only:
• BUY
1. Latest active zone is bullish.
2. Current bar’s close is inside the zone (between top and bottom).
3. The bar’s low ≤ selected fib and it closes > selected fib (bounce).
• SELL
1. Latest active zone is bearish.
2. Current bar’s close is inside the zone.
3. The bar’s high ≥ selected fib and it closes < selected fib.
Markers & labels
• BUY: triangle up below the bar; optional label “BULL 0.x” above it.
• SELL: triangle down above the bar; optional label “BEAR 0.x” below it.
Right-Panel Swing Log (Table)
What it is
A compact, auto-updating log of the most recent Swing High/Low events, printed in the top-right of the chart.
It helps you see when a pivot formed, when it was confirmed, and at what price—so you know the earliest bar a zone-based signal could have appeared.
Columns
Type – Swing High or Swing Low.
Date – Calendar date of the swing bar (follows the chart’s timezone).
Swing @ – Time of the original swing bar (where the dot is drawn).
Confirm @ – Time of the bar that confirmed that swing (≈ Structure Length × timeframe after the swing). This is also the earliest moment a new zone/entry can be considered.
Price – The swing price (high for SH, low for SL).
Why it’s useful
Clarity on repaint/confirmation: shows the natural delay between a swing forming and being usable—no guessing.
Planning & journaling: quick reference of today’s pivots and prices for notes/backtesting.
Scanning intraday: glance to see if you already have a confirmed zone (and therefore valid fib-bounce entries), or if you’re still waiting.
Context for signals: if a fib-bounce triangle appears before the time listed in Confirm @, it’s not a valid trade (you were too early).
Settings (Inputs → Logging)
Log swing times / Show table – turn the table on/off.
Rows to keep – how many recent entries to display.
Show labels on swing bar – optional tags on the chart (“Swing High 11:45”, “Confirm SH 14:15”) that match the table.
Recommended defaults
• Structure Length: 10–20 for intraday; 20–40 for swing.
• Entry Fib for Signals: 0.5 to start; try 0.3 in stronger trends and 0.6 in choppier markets.
• One Signal Per Zone: ON (prevents over trading).
• Zone Display: Both.
• Fib Lines: Keep 0.3/0.5/0.7 on; turn on 0 and 1 only if you need anchors.
Alerts
Two alert conditions are available:
• BUY signal – fires when a with trend bullish bounce at the selected fib occurs inside a bullish zone.
• SELL signal – fires when a with trend bearish bounce at the selected fib occurs inside a bearish zone.
Create alerts from the chart’s Alerts panel and select the desired condition. Use Once Per Bar Close to avoid intrabar flicker.
Notes & tips
• Swing dots are confirmed only after Structure Length bars, so they plot back in time; zones built from these confirmed swings do not repaint (though they extend as new bars form).
• If you don’t see a BUY where you expect one, check: (1) Is the active zone bullish? (2) Did the candle’s low actually pierce the selected fib and close above it? (3) Is One Signal Per Zone suppressing a second entry?
• You can hide visual clutter by reducing Show Last to 1–3 while keeping Display All Zones off.
Glossary
• CHOCH (Change of Character): A shift where price breaks beyond the last opposite swing while local momentum flips.
• BOS (Break of Structure): A cleaner break beyond the prior swing level in the current momentum direction.
• MSS: Either CHOCH or BOS – any event that spawns a new zone.
Extension ideas (optional)
• Add fib extensions (1.272 / 1.618) for target lines.
• Zone quality score using ATR normalization to filter weak impulses.
• HTF filter to only accept zones aligned with a higher timeframe trend.

Structure From Start – MTF (body-close BOS)Displays higher-timeframe market structure from a chosen start date using body-close BOS logic, with trend state, guard levels, and BOS markers plotted on your current chart.
Multi-Timeframe Market Structure with Body-Close BOS Logic
This indicator tracks market structure from a chosen start date on a higher-timeframe (HTF) of your choice, then displays it on your current chart for intraday context.
It detects swing highs/lows using pivot logic, confirms Break of Structure (BOS) only when a candle closes beyond the swing level (body-close rule), and maintains the “valid swing” level that invalidates the current bias.
Key Features:
• Works on any HTF you select (e.g., H1, H4) while you operate on lower TFs like M5 or M1.
• Start reading structure from any date/time you choose for focused backtesting or scenario analysis.
• Highlights trend state (long/short/neutral) with background colors.
• Plots the active “guard” level (valid swing high/low) that would flip bias if broken.
• Marks BOS events directly on your trading TF, updating only when the HTF candle closes.
Ideal for combining a clear higher-timeframe bias with lower-timeframe execution, without manually tracking HTF structure changes during live markets.
Market Structure MTF Trend [Pt]█ Author's Notes

Market Structure MTF Trend was created with simplicity and flexibility in mind—providing a highly customizable multi-timeframe setup, visually clear trendlines, and straightforward labeling. This combination helps both new and experienced traders easily spot and interpret market structure changes.
█ Overview
Market Structure MTF Trend is a powerful yet user-friendly indicator designed to identify and visualize key turning points in price action. It focuses on two core concepts:
Change of Character (CHoCH): A momentary shift in the market’s behavior, signaling that the current price movement may be losing momentum and could soon reverse.
Break of Structure (BoS): A more definitive event confirming a new price pattern, where the market establishes a fresh trend direction by surpassing previous swing highs or lows.
By combining these signals across up to four different timeframes, even traders unfamiliar with market structure can quickly learn to spot and validate potential trend reversals or continuations.
█ Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Monitors CHoCH and BoS events simultaneously on multiple intervals (e.g., 15m, 30m, 60m, 240m), providing a clear, layered understanding of market dynamics.
Straightforward Visual Cues: Labels are placed directly on the chart at swing highs and lows, while colored bars at the bottom give an instant snapshot of whether each timeframe is bullish or bearish.
Configurable Timeframes & Pivot Strength: Easily set up the desired intervals and adjust pivot strength to tune how sensitive the indicator is to minor price fluctuations.
Color-Coded Signals: Different colors help you distinguish between potential early reversals (CHoCH) and confirmed shifts (BoS), ensuring each signal’s importance is immediately clear.
█ Usage & Benefits
Learn Market Structure Basics: For those new to swing highs/lows, CHoCH, and BoS, the script’s on-chart labels and dynamic bar coloring provide a practical, visual way to grasp these concepts.
Spot Reversals Early: CHoCH alerts you to possible shifts in momentum, allowing you to anticipate trend changes before they fully develop.
Confirm Trend Breaks: BoS events confirm that the market has established a new directional bias, reinforcing higher‐probability entry or exit points.
Reduce Noise & Stay Focused: The multi-timeframe setup ensures you won’t overlook larger trends or get lost in smaller fluctuations.
Streamline Decision-Making: Color-coded bars let you gauge overall market sentiment at a glance—ideal for quickly validating trades without juggling multiple charts.
Market Structure MTF Trend is perfect for traders who want to learn or refine their understanding of price action. By integrating multiple timeframes into a single, cohesive interface, this tool highlights both subtle shifts and confirmed breaks in market structure, empowering you to trade with greater insight and confidence.
