HOW-TO ACTIVATE LEVEL TYPES AND TIMEFRAMES AND HOW-TO USE THE INDICATOR
You can simply choose which of the levels to be activated and displayed by clicking on the desired radio button in the settings menu.
You can locate the settings menu by clicking into the Object Tree window, left-click on the Multiple Naked Levels and select Settings.
You will then get a menu of different level types and timeframes. Click the checkboxes for the level types and timeframes that you want to display on the chart.
You can then go into the chart and check out which naked levels that have appeared. You can then use those levels as part of your technical analysis.
The levels displayed on the chart can serve as additional confluences or as part of your overall technical analysis and indicators.
In order to back-test the impact of the different naked levels you can also enable tapped levels to be depicted on the chart. Do this by toggling the 'Show tapped levels' checkbox.
Keep in mind however that Trading View can not shom more than 500 lines and text boxes so the indocator will not be able to give you the complete history back to the start for long duration assets.
In order to clean up the charts a little bit there are two additional settings that can be used in the Settings menu:
- Selecting the price range (%) from the current price to be included in the chart. The default is 25%. That means that all levels below or above 20% will not be displayed. You can set this level yourself from 0 up to 100%.
- Selecting the minimum gap size to include on the chart. The default is 1%. That means that all gaps/ranges below 1% in price difference will not be displayed on the chart. You can set the minimum gap size yourself.
BASIC DESCRIPTION OF THE INNER WORKINGS OF THE INDICTATOR
The way the indicator works is that it calculates and identifies all levels from the list of levels type and timeframes above. The indicator then adds this level to a list of untapped levels.
Then for each bar after, it checks if the level has been tapped. If the level has been tapped or a gap/range completely filled, this level is removed from the list so that the levels displayed in the end are only naked/untapped levels.
Below is a descrition of each of the level types and how it is caluclated (algorithm):
PIVOT
Daily, Weekly and Monthly levels in trading refer to significant price points that traders monitor within the context of a single trading day. These levels can provide insights into market behavior and help traders make informed decisions regarding entry and exit points.
Traders often use D/W/M levels to set entry and exit points for trades. For example, entering long positions near support (daily close) or selling near resistance (daily close).
Daily levels are used to set stop-loss orders. Placing stops just below the daily close for long positions or above the daily close for short positions can help manage risk.
The relationship between price movement and daily levels provides insights into market sentiment. For instance, if the price fails to break above the daily high, it may signify bearish sentiment, while a strong breakout can indicate bullish sentiment.
The way these levels are calculated in this indicator is based on finding pivots in the chart on D/W/M timeframe. The level is then set to previous D/W/M close = current D/W/M open.
In addition, when price is going up previous D/W/M open must be smaller than previous D/W/M close and current D/W/M close must be smaller than the current D/W/M open. When price is going down the opposite.
POINT OF CONTROL
The Point of Control (POC) is a key concept in volume profile analysis, which is commonly used in trading.
It represents the price level at which the highest volume of trading occurred during a specific period.
The POC is derived from the volume traded at various price levels over a defined time frame. In this indicator the timeframes are Daily, Weekly, and Montly.
It identifies the price level where the most trades took place, indicating strong interest and activity from traders at that price.
The POC often acts as a significant support or resistance level. If the price approaches the POC from above, it may act as a support level, while if approached from below, it can serve as a resistance level. Traders monitor the POC to gauge potential reversals or breakouts.
The way the POC is calculated in this indicator is by an approximation by analysing intrabars for the respective timeperiod (D/W/M), assigning the volume for each intrabar into the price-bins that the intrabar covers and finally identifying the bin with the highest aggregated volume.
The POC is the price in the middle of this bin.
The indicator uses a sample space for intrabars on the Daily timeframe of 15 minutes, 35 minutes for the Weekly timeframe, and 140 minutes for the Monthly timeframe.
The indicator has predefined the size of the bins to 0.2% of the price at the range low. That implies that the precision of the calulated POC og VAH/VAL is within 0.2%.
This reduction of precision is a tradeoff for performance and speed of the indicator.
This also implies that the bigger the difference from range high prices to range low prices the more bins the algorithm will iterate over. This is typically the case when calculating the monthly volume profile levels and especially high volatility assets such as alt coins.
Sometimes the number of iterations becomes too big for Trading View to handle. In these cases the bin size will be increased even more to reduce the number of iterations.
In such cases the bin size might increase by a factor of 2-3 decreasing the accuracy of the Volume Profile levels.
Anyway, since these Volume Profile levels are approximations and since precision is traded for performance the user should consider the Volume profile levels(POC, VAH, VAL) as zones rather than pin point accurate levels.
VALUE AREA HIGH/LOW STD1/STD2
The Value Area High (VAH) and Value Area Low (VAL) are important concepts in volume profile analysis, helping traders understand price levels where the majority of trading activity occurs for a given period.
The Value Area High/Low is the upper/lower boundary of the value area, representing the highest price level at which a certain percentage of the total trading volume occurred within a specified period.
The VAH/VAL indicates the price point above/below which the majority of trading activity is considered less valuable. It can serve as a potential resistance/support level, as prices above/below this level may experience selling/buying pressure from traders who view the price as overvalued/undervalued
In this indicator the timeframes are Daily, Weekly, and Monthly. This indicator provides two boundaries that can be selected in the menu.
The first boundary is 70% of the total volume (=1 standard deviation from mean). The second boundary is 95% of the total volume (=2 standard deviation from mean).
The way VAH/VAL is calculated is based on the same algorithm as for the POC.
However instead of identifying the bin with the highest volume, we start from range low and sum up the volume for each bin until the aggregated volume = 30%/70% for VAL1/VAH1 and aggregated volume = 5%/95% for VAL2/VAH2.
Then we simply set the VAL/VAH equal to the low of the respective bin.
FAIR VALUE GAPS
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) is a concept primarily used in technical analysis and price action trading, particularly within the context of futures and forex markets. They refer to areas on a price chart where there is a noticeable lack of trading activity, often highlighted by a significant price movement away from a previous level without trading occurring in between.
FVGs represent price levels where the market has moved significantly without any meaningful trading occurring. This can be seen as a "gap" on the price chart, where the price jumps from one level to another, often due to a rapid market reaction to news, events, or other factors.
These gaps typically appear when prices rise or fall quickly, creating a space on the chart where no transactions have taken place. For example, if a stock opens sharply higher and there are no trades at the prices in between the two levels, it creates a gap. The areas within these gaps can be areas of liquidity that the market may return to “fill” later on.
FVGs highlight inefficiencies in pricing and can indicate areas where the market may correct itself. When the market moves rapidly, it may leave behind price levels that traders eventually revisit to establish fair value.
Traders often watch for these gaps as potential reversal or continuation points. Many traders believe that price will eventually “fill” the gap, meaning it will return to those price levels, providing potential entry or exit points.
This indicator calculate FVGs on three different timeframes, Daily, Weekly and Montly.
In this indicator the FVGs are identified by looking for a three-candle pattern on a chart, signalling a discrete imbalance in order volume that prompts a quick price adjustment. These gaps reflect moments where the market sentiment strongly leans towards buying or selling yet lacks the opposite orders to maintain price stability.
The indicator sets the gap to the difference from the high of the first bar to the low of the third bar when price is moving up or from the low of the first bar to the high of the third bar when price is moving down.
CME GAPS (BTC only)
CME gaps refer to price discrepancies that can occur in charts for futures contracts traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). These gaps typically arise from the fact that many futures markets, including those on the CME, operate nearly 24 hours a day but may have significant price movements during periods when the market is closed.
CME gaps occur when there is a difference between the closing price of a futures contract on one trading day and the opening price on the following trading day. This difference can create a "gap" on the price chart.
Opening Gaps: These usually happen when the market opens significantly higher or lower than the previous day's close, often influenced by news, economic data releases, or other market events occurring during non-trading hours.
Gaps can result from reactions to major announcements or developments, such as earnings reports, geopolitical events, or changes in economic indicators, leading to rapid price movements.
The importance of CME Gaps in Trading is the potential for Filling Gaps: Many traders believe that prices often "fill" gaps, meaning that prices may return to the gap area to establish fair value.
This can create potential trading opportunities based on the expectation of gap filling. Gaps can act as significant support or resistance levels. Traders monitor these levels to identify potential reversal points in price action.
The way the gap is identified in this indicator is by checking if current open is higher than previous bar close when price is moving up or if current open is lower than previous day close when price is moving down.
EQUILIBRIUM
Equilibrium in finance and trading refers to a state where supply and demand in a market balance each other, resulting in stable prices. It is a key concept in various economic and trading contexts. Here’s a concise description:
Market Equilibrium occurs when the quantity of a good or service supplied equals the quantity demanded at a specific price level. At this point, there is no inherent pressure for the price to change, as buyers and sellers are in agreement.
Equilibrium Price is the price at which the market is in equilibrium. It reflects the point where the supply curve intersects the demand curve on a graph. At the equilibrium price, the market clears, meaning there are no surplus goods or shortages.
In this indicator the equilibrium level is calculated simply by finding the midpoint of the Daily, Weekly, and Montly candles respectively.
NOTES
1) Performance. The algorithms are quite resource intensive and the time it takes the indicator to calculate all the levels could be 5 seconds or more, depending on the number of bars in the chart and especially if Montly Volume Profile levels are selected (POC, VAH or VAL).
2) Levels displayed vs the selected chart timeframe. On a timeframe smaller than the daily TF - both Daily, Weekly, and Monthly levels will be displayed. On a timeframe bigger than the daily TF but smaller than the weekly TF - the Weekly and Monthly levels will be display but not the Daily levels. On a timeframe bigger than the weekly TF but smaller than the monthly TF - only the Monthly levels will be displayed. Not Daily and Weekly.
CREDITS
The core algorithm for calculating the POC levels is based on the indicator "Naked Intrabar POC" developed by rumpypumpydumpy (https:www.tradingview.com/u/rumpypumpydumpy/).
The "Naked intrabar POC" indicator calculates the POC on the current chart timeframe.
This indicator (Multiple Naked Levels) adds two new features:
1) It calculates the POC on three specific timeframes, the Daily, Weekly, and Monthly timeframes - not only the current chart timeframe.
2) It adds functionaly by calculating the VAL and VAH of the volume profile on the Daily, Weekly, Monthly timeframes .

SMC Order Block [Truth Indie]Smart Money Concept (SMC)
For me, SMC is a trading philosophy that stems from those with knowledge and understanding of the structure of the Smart Money group's trading system. It is developed through the observation of price behavior.
SMC is related to the Smart Money group or those entities that can influence the market, such as financial institutions, banks, or funds. Market movements are often driven by market fundamentals or economics. The Smart Money group possesses extensive research data for analyzing the market's fundamentals and has the ability to steer the market in various directions based on market and economic fundamentals at a given time.
The SMC concept is adapted from the ICT concept, and it was developed and shared by The Inner Circle Trader.
I have been studying and trying to understand SMC for some time, and I have many questions I would like to explore. The challenge lies in the fact that different sources of knowledge on this topic often have varying teachings, and my proficiency in the English language is limited. As a result, I haven't had the opportunity to study from the primary source, The Inner Circle Trader.
This indicator was created for the purpose of researching Market Structure and Order Blocks, which are integral parts of the SMC Concept.
The fundamental principle for identifying Order Blocks is as follows:
1.Locate swings that create candlestick imbalances.
2.An imbalance refers to a candlestick that is larger than the preceding one and contains a Fair Value Gap (FVG).
This indicator categorizes Order Blocks into four types, and you are encouraged to customize them to suit your preferences.
OB Type1
1.The closing price of candle has an opposite direction to the candle .
2.Candle has a wick longer than its body, by at least 1 times or more (adjustable).
3.Candle has a wick longer than candle , by at least 2 times or more (adjustable).
4.There is a Fair Value Gap (FVG) between the wicks of candle and .
OB Type1_HTF
-This condition is the same as OB Type1, but it involves analyzing 6 candles instead. This means looking at a larger time frame, twice as big as the original one.
OB Type2
1.The closing price of candle has the opposite direction to candle .
2.Candle has a body larger than its wick by at least 1 times or more (adjustable).
3.Candle has a body larger than candle by at least 2 times or more (adjustable).
4.There is a Fair Value Gap (FVG) between the wicks of candle and .
OB Type2_HTF means observing a larger time frame, specifically twice as big as the previous one.
OB Type3
1.The closing price of candle has the same direction as candle .
2.Candle has a wick longer than its body, by at least 1 times or more (adjustable).
3.Candle has a wick longer than candle , by at least 2 times or more (adjustable).
4.There is a Fair Value Gap (FVG) between the wicks of candle and .
OB Type3_HTF means observing a larger time frame, specifically twice as big as the previous one.
OB Type4
1.The closing price of candle has the same direction as candle .
2.Candle has a body larger than its wick by at least 1 times or more (adjustable).
3.Candle has a body larger than candle by at least 2 times or more (adjustable).
4.There is a Fair Value Gap (FVG) between the wicks of candle and .
OB Type4_HTF is an indicator that involves looking at a larger time frame, specifically twice as big as the original one.
Order Block Setting
1.Click to activate the OB search in different Types.
2.Adjust the body of the candle .
3.Adjust the strength of the candle or the Imbalance candle.
4.You can change the name of OB.
5.Adjust the font size and color.
6.Adjust the color of the OB BOX and History BOX.
7.Adjust the font of OB HTF.
1.It refers to the value of W for a specific candle.
2.It refers to the value of Im for a specific candle.
3.It refers to the values of W and Im in the HTF.
4.For OB Type1 and Type3, a higher W value will search for candles with a larger wick and a smaller body. When the W value is lower, it will search for candles with a smaller wick and a larger body, moving from low to high.
5.For OB Type2 and Type4, a lower W value will search for candles with a smaller wick and a larger body. When the W value is higher, it will search for candles with a larger wick and a smaller body, moving from high to low.
Market Structure
Comprising the process of breaking the price structure, resulting in BOS (Breakout of Structure) or CHoCH (Change of Character High), and creating new High or Low based on the price structure.
1.When the market forms a price structure with High and Low, when the price moves to disrupt the structure in either direction, it will lead to BOS or CHoCH, resulting in a new High or Low. You can adjust the method of breaking the structure using the close, high, or low.
2.When you break the price structure, a High or Low will be formed on one side, and it will lead to an Inducement Swing. When the price moves and collides, it will create a price range of High and Low. You can adjust the method of breaking the structure using the close, high, or low.
3.There is an option for testing Fibonacci (Fibo). Its function is similar to the Inducement Swing. You can adjust the Fibonacci settings.
Premium & Discount Zone
1.The Premium & Discount Zone will appear based on the current price structure. It helps you see the price zones you are interested in.
2.You can adjust the %Premium & Discount as needed.
3.The OB (Order Block) will be displayed when a price structure of High and Low forms within the Premium & Discount Zone. The OB in this indicator is not a recommendation to buy or sell. You need to research and test various conditions before making trading decisions.
Everyone's trading strategies are different, and it comes down to backtesting and selecting the strategy that suits your individual needs. Hopefully, this indicator will assist the TradingView community of traders in their trading endeavors.
ProConcepts (v-1.0.2)ProConcepts is a smart moeny concepts indicator that has several primary functions and features.
BOS Feature: BOS stands for break of structure and this is used to determine market structure support and resistance breakouts. The blue and red lines plot the pivot highs and lows on every time frame. When a trend is in a single direction and BOS appears, that is a strong sign that market structure is broken and the trend will continue.
CHOCH Feature: Similar to BOS the change of character feature is also a smart money concept where in a trend, CHOCH essentially is used to help determine a change of that trend with a low being violated in an uptrend or a high being violated in a downtrend. CHOCH is what determines the high lows of the trend.
Shaded Candle Feature: The candles are shaded either red or blue based on the trend. the CHOCH as discussed previously determines the trend and shades the candles blue and red according to the highs and lows.
Sessions Shading Feature: The background shading with lower opacity indicates a sessions feature that seperates the main trading sessions of the day, London, Asia, and New York. They are color coordinated and can be changed to fit your needs as a trader.
FVG Feature: FVG stands for fair value gap which is an area on the chart where there is a single directional movement either bullish for the blue FVG and bearish for the red FVG. These fvgs are strong areas of interest for rejections of price because they are agressive movements similar to an imbalance. The FVG should be used as a retest confirmation of a trend during a breakout of the BOS or a CHOCH.
High Low Feature: Disabled on the default chart is a a high low feature that marks all of the high lows of a trend so you can identify areas of support and resistance.
[RealEdgeFX] - EdgeMapRealEdgeFX EdgeMap — a non-repainting daily context engine that turns the last closed day into a clear Buy / Sell / Neutral view for the next session, with a strength percentage and an at-a-glance panel of key market “edges.”
What it is
RealEdgeFX EdgeMap is your daily map of actionable edges . It distills the last closed daily candle into a forward-looking bias (Buy, Sell, or Neutral) plus a confidence score (%) , and presents a compact checklist of the day’s most relevant price-action contexts—so you can plan quickly and execute with conviction.
The internal logic uses a proprietary blend of price structure, volatility, and liquidity events, combined through a confluence framework with safety overrides. You get clarity; the technique remains private.
No repaint : today’s bias is derived from yesterday’s closed daily bar and stays fixed during the session.
Cross-market : FX, indices, commodities, crypto, and equities with adequate liquidity.
What you’ll see on the chart
Daily arrows (Buy/Sell) at the session turn, computed solely from the last closed day.
Strength label (%) beside each arrow to gauge conviction.
“RealEdgeFX EdgeMap — Last Closed Day” panel (informational checklist):
Daily Bias and Strength
Price Body & Structure (minimum candle/structure conditions)
Close Location Value (CLV)
Breakout & Sweeps
FVG Context (Inside FVG / FVG Rejection)
Overrides, including “Bias Flipped by an Override” when a safety rule adjusts the bias
These are interface labels for transparency. Exact formulas, thresholds, and rule weights remain private.
How to use (simple workflow)
Open your instrument and pick your execution timeframe (e.g., 15m or 1h).
Read the day’s bias (Buy/Sell/Neutral) and its strength (%) .
Favor setups aligned with the bias , using your own entry model and risk plan.
Scale exposure with strength : higher strength → higher conviction (within your rules); Neutral → be selective and size down.
Respect overrides : when flagged, they reflect conservative defenses for regime shifts.
Note : FVG rejection only triggers a defensive flip when accompanied by a sweep (the panel will mark it).
Why traders like it
Operate context, not noise : EdgeMap reduces the urge to chase isolated signals by aligning your day with the market’s likely path.
Non-repainting daily compass : fixed for the session—clean planning, cleaner review.
Pragmatic Neutral state : when context is thin, EdgeMap says so—often the difference between overtrading and staying safe.
Thoughtful overrides : conservative bias adjustments are explicitly flagged to keep you informed.
Personalization (without exposing the method)
Visuals : arrow/text sizes and colors, how many days of history to display, and panel styling.
Behavioral toggles : options tuned for more conservative or more responsive profiles (presentation and sensitivity only—internal rules stay private).

FAQ
Does it repaint?
No. The day’s bias is computed from the last closed daily candle and remains unchanged during the session.
Which timeframes can I trade with it?
Use any intraday timeframe for execution. The bias itself is daily.
Is this a standalone strategy?
Treat EdgeMap as a compass. Combine with your entry model, risk controls, and management rules.
Why do I sometimes see Neutral?
Because not forcing a bias in weak context preserves capital. Neutral is intentional and useful.

HTF Candles & ReversalsThis is a comprehensive multi-timeframe analysis tool designed to give you a broader perspective on market structure directly from your main chart. It overlays candles from up to six user-defined higher timeframes (HTF) and includes a built-in indicator to spot potential price reversals. This allows you to analyze the bigger picture and make more informed decisions without constantly switching between different chart layouts.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Candle Display: Renders candles from up to six different higher timeframes (the defaults are 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D, and 1W). You can see how the current price action fits within the larger trend.
Reversal Pattern Detection: The script identifies and highlights potential bullish and bearish reversal patterns. This works on both your main chart's candles and the displayed HTF candles, helping you spot potential shifts in momentum on multiple scales.
Imbalance (FVG) Highlighting: Automatically detects and draws Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on the HTF candles, pointing out areas of inefficient price action that may act as magnets for future price movement.
Full Customization: You have complete control over the visual elements. Adjust the colors for candle bodies, borders, and wicks. Change the positioning of the HTF display, and toggle labels, timers, and imbalance boxes to create a clean workspace that fits your trading style.
How to Use This Indicator
Gain Market Context: Use the HTF candles to quickly gauge the dominant trend. For example, if the 4H and 1D candles are bullish, you might look for buying opportunities on your lower timeframe chart. The highs and lows of these HTF candles often serve as strong support and resistance levels.
Identify Reversals:
Triangles on the Main Chart: A green triangle below a candle suggests a potential bullish reversal, while a red triangle above suggests a potential bearish reversal. This pattern appears when a candle makes a new low/high but closes stronger/weaker than the previous one.
Colored HTF Candles: When an HTF candle is colored (lime for bullish, orange for bearish), it indicates that a reversal pattern has formed on that specific higher timeframe, which could signal a more significant change in market direction.
Utilize Imbalances: The highlighted FVG boxes can be treated as areas of interest. Price often revisits these zones, making them potential targets for trades or areas to watch for a reaction.
Settings Breakdown
Candle Color: Independently set the colors for bullish and bearish candle bodies, borders, and wicks.
Layout: Use the HTF Distance setting to control how far the displayed candles appear from the current price action.
Labels: Choose whether to display the timeframe name and a countdown timer for each HTF candle. You can position these labels at the top, bottom, or both.
Imbalances: Toggle the visibility of the FVG boxes and customize their color.
Reversal Indicator: Enable or disable the reversal triangles on your main chart and the special coloring for reversal candles on both the main chart and the HTF displays.

Rebalance Statistics|█ OVERVIEW
Rebalance statistics is an indicator that gathers relevant data on how often price "rebalances" after an expansion, allowing traders to garner insights on potential future price movements through historical analysis. Additionally, it displays these key levels on the users chart and allows for users to implement filters in order to further deepen their analysis.
█ CONCEPTS
The concept of rebalancing follows the third candle in a typical 3-candle sequence of how an "FVG" is created. Typically, an "FVG" represents the area created during the second candle of an aggressive expansive movement, where the wick of the first candle high or low doesn't overlap with the third candles' high or low, creating an opportunity where traders may expect price to react from.
Rebalancing focuses on the third candle of this sequence, where the "FVG" may be created. When the low of the third candle (in the bullish case) doesn't reach the high of the first candle, the FVG isn't rebalanced, and if it does it's considered rebalanced. This may be useful to determine when movements are likely to retrace, as found by this indicator, most of the time the third candle is likely to rebalance the expansive move.
The indicator will display these areas, including the current ratio that candle 3 rebalanced of the area, as well as the overall stats associated with rebalancing, such as the average ratio of "non-rebalanced" areas, and how often price tends to rebalance these areas.
█ FEATURES
Rebalance areas: After a candle 2 expansion, the indicator will display the current rebalance ratio and the area that has been rebalanced as well as the overall rebalance area.
Rebalance statistics: The indicator will display through a table the overall probability of a rebalance including the average ratio that the candle 3 will rebalance of the overall area.
Time filtering: Filter rebalances to occur only during a specific period of time (suggested for lower timeframes).
Candle sequence filtering: Filter rebalances by only using the cases where the first candle of the sequence is in line with the second one to determine how it affects the statistic.
█ How to use
To use the indicator, simply apply it to your chart and modify any of your desired inputs.
The indicator is setup to display statistics for rebalances based on your current timeframe, but you may also adjust the indicator to only calculate the statistic based on a certain time window in the day done in NY time (UTC-4), or by filtering the candle sequence (candle 1 of the 3 candle sequence must be in the same direction as the ones following it.

OB: Price in a valid bullish Order Block zone
BoS: Structure break to the upside
Liquidity Sweep: Sweep of recent lows in bullish context
FVG: A bullish Fair Value Gap is present
Pin Bar: Bullish Pin Bar pattern detected (if enabled)
A SELL signal is generated when the opposite conditions are met.
3. Stop Loss & Take Profits
SL: Placed just beyond the last swing low (BUY) or swing high (SELL), with a small ATR buffer.
TP1: Partial profit target, defined as a ratio of the SL distance.
TP2: Full profit target, based on Reward:Risk ratio.
4. How to Use
Step 1 – Apply Indicator
Open TradingView
Go to your chart (recommended: XAUUSD, M1/M5 for scalping)
Add the indicator script
Step 2 – Choose Mode
AUTO Mode: Leave “Use Auto Presets” ON – parameters adapt to your timeframe.
MANUAL Mode: Turn Auto OFF and adjust all lengths, buffers, RR, and filters.
Step 3 – Filters
In the Filters On/Off section, enable/disable specific conditions (OB, BoS, Liq, FVG, Pin Bar, ADX, HTF EMA).
Step 4 – Trading the Signals
Wait for a BUY or SELL arrow to appear.
SL and TP levels will be plotted automatically.
TP1 can be used for partial close and TP2 for full exit.
Step 5 – Alerts
Set alerts via BUY Signal or SELL Signal to receive notifications.
5. Best Practices
Scalping: Use M1 or M5 with AUTO mode for gold or forex pairs.
Swing Trading: Use M15+ and adjust buffers/ATR manually.
Combine with price action confirmation before entering trades.
For higher accuracy, wait for multiple filter confirmations rather than acting on the first arrow.

📊 Institutional Analyst Board – Smart Money Confluence Scanner for XAUUSD, Forex, Crypto
🔍 Overview
The Institutional Analyst Board is a complete multi-timeframe smart money toolkit designed for traders who demand clarity, confluence, and precision. It brings together institutional-grade metrics—Order Blocks (OB), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), Liquidity Sweeps, MACD/RSI bias, VWAP positioning, and Break of Structure (BoS)—into a single powerful visual dashboard.
This indicator is especially optimized for Gold (XAUUSD) but is also compatible with Crypto and Forex assets.
🧠 Key Features
✅ Multi-Timeframe Dashboard (5M / 15M / 1H)
✅ Order Block Detection with dynamic zones that extend until broken
✅ Fair Value Gap Detection with clear zone shading and border distinction
✅ MACD + RSI Confluence for momentum and bias alignment
✅ VWAP Positioning to identify premium/discount zones
✅ Liquidity Sweeps (internal/external range breaks)
✅ Killzone Highlighting (Asia / London / New York)
✅ Break of Structure (BoS) with advanced confluence filters
✅ Gold Bias Flags across timeframes (BUY / SELL / NEUTRAL)
✅ Dynamic Price Watermark with real-time data
✅ Fully customizable colors, transparencies, and text labels
🧠 How It Works
The Board uses institutional logic to analyze the chart in real time:
Metric Purpose
OB Zones Highlight potential smart money footprints where price is likely to react.
FVG Zones Identify imbalance areas between buyers and sellers—ideal for mean reversion entries.
MACD/RSI Confirm momentum direction and relative strength confluence.
VWAP Determine whether price is trading at a premium or discount.
Liquidity Sweeps Detect manipulative moves before major reversals.
BoS Mark potential trend reversals, filtered by institutional confluence.
Each signal is computed across 3 timeframes and visualized in a clean board that updates live. You’ll also see labels, alerts, and session overlays for maximum clarity.
📌 Ideal Use Case
This tool is perfect for:
Funded Challenge Traders (FTMO, MyForexFunds, etc.)
Gold scalpers and intraday traders
Crypto price action traders using BTC, ETH, SOL, etc.
Smart Money Concept (SMC) and ICT followers
⚙️ Customization Options
Toggle each module (OB, FVG, VWAP, MACD/RSI, etc.)
Set transparency and color for each zone type
Adjust Killzone timing (Asia, London, NY)
Control board position (Top/Bottom) and metric visibility
📈 Compatible Assets

For crypto, redefine Killzone hours if needed (24/7 market)
🧠 Pro Tip
Pair this indicator with volume profile tools, CVD/Delta Flow, or Footprint overlays to build high-confidence trade setups with clear institutional confluence.
ICT Smart Money Trading Suite [SwissAlgo]ICT/Smart Money Trading Suite - Technical Analysis Indicator
----------------------------------------------------------
OVERVIEW
The ICT/Smart Money Trading Suite is a technical analysis indicator that implements concepts from Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology and Smart Money Concepts (SMC).
ICT methodology was developed by Michael J. Huddleston (ICT) and focuses on understanding Institutional market behavior.
Smart Money Concepts builds upon these ideas to analyze how large Financial Institutions and/or Market Makers seem to operate in the markets.
This indicator combines multiple analytical tools into a single package for market structure analysis, imbalance detection, and the observation of institutional order flow.
----------------------------------------------------------
CORE COMPONENTS
Market Structure Analysis:
- External Structure : Major swing highs and lows that define broader price movement (these are the most significant structural points that institutions reference for their positioning and typically require substantial volume and momentum to break)
- Internal Structure : Shorter-term pivots showing micro-trend developments within the External Structure (these internal pivot highs and lows often represent areas where retail traders may be positioned on the wrong side of the market as they frequently form just before major structural breaks or trend continuations, creating liquidity that institutions can utilize)
- Structural Breakout Detection : Identification of structure breaks and potential trend changes ( 'Change of Character' which occurs when the External Structure shifts from bullish to bearish bias or vice-versa indicating a potential major trend reversal, and 'Break of Structure' which happens when price decisively takes out previous significant highs in a bearish trend or previous significant lows in a bullish trend confirming trend continuation or acceleration)
- EMA Cloud : Dynamic support and resistance zones with trend context (additional reference point)
Imbalance Zone Detection:
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs):
Price inefficiencies that occur between candles when sudden price moves create gaps in price delivery
Typically formed when the low of a bullish candle is higher than the high of the candle two periods prior, or when the high of a bearish candle is lower than the low of the candle two periods prior
These gaps represent areas where price moved too quickly without adequate two-way auction process
Institutions may return to fill these inefficiencies at a later time for proper price discovery
The theory suggests that all price ranges should eventually be traded through to complete the auction process
Gaps are automatically removed from the chart when price fully retraces back through the inefficient area
Order Blocks (OBs):
Specific candles that occur immediately before significant market moves and represent institutional decision points
Identified as the last opposing candle before a strong directional move (final bearish candle before major bullish move or final bullish candle before major bearish move)
These candles contain the orders and liquidity that institutions used as a foundation for their market manipulation
Represent areas where large institutional players positioned themselves to move the market significantly
Price may return to these levels to collect additional liquidity or test institutional resolve
The candle's full range (high to low) is considered the active zone where institutional interest may remain
Vector Candle Recovery:
Zones created by high-activity candles that demonstrate unusually large range and volume characteristics
These candles are interpreted as manipulative price pushes designed to hunt liquidity and trigger stop losses
Often used by institutions to induce retail traders into poor positions before reversing direction
Recovery zones represent the full range of these vector candles where price may retrace
The concept assumes that extreme moves often get partially retraced as the market corrects from artificial price displacement
Zones are invalidated when a significant portion of the vector candle range is retraced (typically 50% or more)
Support & Resistance:
Key price zones based on historical price reactions and pivot clustering analysis
Calculated through algorithmic identification of areas where price has repeatedly found buyers (support) or sellers (resistance)
Strength is determined by the number of times price has reacted from these levels and the volume of activity at these zones
Represent psychological and algorithmic reference points where institutional systems are likely to place orders
Create areas of increased probability for price reactions due to concentration of pending orders and decision-making activity
Zones are color-coded based on current price position: green for support (price above), red for resistance (price below), yellow for neutral (price within)
Liquidity Analysis:
- Liquidity Pools : Areas above or below key levels where stop orders may cluster
- Kill Zones : Time-based periods associated with increased market activity
- Daily/Weekly/Monthly Price Levels : Key institutional reference points (price highs/lows)
Vector Candles/Price Manipulation:
Advanced algorithm identifying statistically significant candles using volume delta analysis, range statistics, and persistence scoring.
----------------------------------------------------------
VISUAL INTERPRETATION - DETAILED GUIDE
MARKET STRUCTURE
External Structure (Thick Lines):
- Green thick lines: Major support levels (external lows) that define bullish structure
- Red thick lines: Major resistance levels (external highs) that define bearish structure
- These lines represent significant swing points that institutions may reference
- Lines extend from the swing point and update as the structure evolves
Internal Structure (Thin Lines):
- Green thin lines: Minor support levels showing internal market structure
- Red thin lines: Minor resistance levels showing internal market structure
- More frequent updates than external structure, showing micro-trend changes
Structure Markers:
- Small triangles with "H": External pivot highs (major resistance points)
- Small triangles with "L": External pivot lows (major support points)
- Small dots: Internal pivot points (minor structure without text)
- Markers appear with a 20-bar delay to confirm pivot validity
HIGHS/LOWS LEVELS
Daily Levels (Green Dashed Lines):
- Horizontal dashed lines marking the previous day's high and low
- Updates at the start of each new trading day
- Gradient effect shows historical importance (newer = more opaque)
- Acts as institutional reference points for intraday trading
Weekly Levels (White Dashed Lines):
- Horizontal dashed lines marking the previous week's high and low
- Updates at the start of each new trading week
- Typically more significant than daily levels for swing trading
- Often respected by institutional algorithms
Monthly Levels (Orange Dashed Lines):
- Horizontal dashed lines marking the previous month's high and low
- Updates at the start of each new trading month
- Highest significance levels for long-term institutional positioning
- Major psychological and algorithmic reference points

- Blue Bodies: Abnormal bullish vector candles (Z-score 2.0-2.99)
- Bright Red Bodies: Ultra-bearish vector candles (Z-score ≥ 3.0)
- Purple Bodies: Abnormal bearish vector candles (Z-score 2.0-2.99)
- Faded Green/Red: Normal market activity candles
Vector Identification Criteria:
- Statistical significance based on range and volume delta
- Persistence scoring (how much directional pressure remained)
- ATR-based absolute detection (candles >2x ATR automatically qualify)
- These candles often precede significant market moves or reversals
EMA CLOUD
Purple Cloud Visualization:
- Central line: 50-period EMA (blue line)
- Upper boundary: EMA + dynamic standard deviation band
- Lower boundary: EMA - dynamic standard deviation band
- Cloud fill: Purple semi-transparent area between boundaries
Interpretation:

EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND
Inner Circle Trader (ICT): A trading methodology developed by Michael J. Huddleston that focuses on understanding how institutional traders and market makers operate. The approach emphasizes market structure, liquidity concepts, and timing based on institutional behavior patterns.
Smart Money Concepts (SMC): An evolution of ICT principles that analyzes how large financial institutions move markets. These concepts include order blocks, fair value gaps, liquidity hunting, and market structure shifts.
Both methodologies are based on the premise that understanding institutional trading behavior can provide insights into market direction and timing.
----------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS
This indicator is provided for educational and analytical purposes only. It is not financial advice and does not guarantee trading results.
Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Past performance does not indicate future results. Users should thoroughly understand the underlying concepts before applying them to live trading.
The effectiveness of these analytical methods may vary across different market conditions, timeframes, and instruments. Proper risk management and additional analysis are essential.
This indicator is a tool for market analysis, not a complete trading system. Success requires understanding of market principles, risk management, and continuous learning.
Always test analytical approaches thoroughly using historical data and demo accounts before implementing with real capital.
HyperFlowIntroduction
HyperFlow is a premium market structure and liquidity rotation model built around the principles of internal inefficiencies, tested imbalances, and delivery shifts. Drawing inspiration from ICT concepts, it provides a high-level framework for identifying smart money footprints and timing entries with precision.
Rather than forecasting direction, HyperFlow focuses on recognizing repeatable delivery behaviors — helping traders visually track liquidity shifts from internal ranges to external objectives with consistency.
Core Philosophy
Markets are governed by the logic of liquidity engineering — the search and destruction of internal inefficiencies (Fair Value Gaps), followed by continuations toward external liquidity.
Timeframes to use:
HTF -> LTF
5m -> 15s
15m -> 1m
1h -> 5m
4h -> 15m
Daily -> 1h
Weekly -> 4h
Monthly -> 1D
HyperFlow identifies these transitions by:
Detecting High Timeframe Fair Value Gaps (HTF FVGs) — structural imbalances created by displacement
Tracking Valid Tests of those FVGs — signaling willingness to respect internal structure
Filtering for Delivery Confirmations — only acting when price delivers with intent through reclaimed imbalances
Mapping Risk and Objective Zones — using recent swing structures to define stop and target logic rooted in market logic
All components are reactive, visual, and non-repainting — designed to highlight structure after it forms, not anticipate it prematurely.
Key Features
Internal Range Liquidity Zones: Cleanly marked HTF imbalances show where price may seek efficiency
Tested FVG Filtering: Signals only form on valid rebalances — we wait for proof, not potential
Shift in Delivery Conditions: Price must show intent to reclaim imbalance before any rotation is considered
Automatic Objective Mapping: Recent structural highs/lows are used to project stop and target zones automatically
Session Filters + Time Alignment: Restrict signals to high-probability hours or defined killzones
Minimal, High-Impact Visuals: Tested/untested FVGs are differentiated by transparency and tone, keeping your chart clean and focused
HyperFlow is built for:
Traders who understand price delivery theory
Analysts studying displacement → reversion → continuation
Those seeking higher timeframe bias alignment through tested structure
Users of ICT-based concepts who want a visual, rules-based companion
This is not a beginner's tool. It’s for those seeking repeatable execution through structure and refinement, not guesswork.

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

✅ USAGE EXAMPLES
Now I’ll demonstrate several ways to apply this indicator across different trading strategies.
Primarily, it’s most effective within the Smart Money framework - where liquidity and manipulation are the core focus - so it integrates seamlessly into your SMC-based approach.
However, it can also be employed in other strategies, such as classic technical analysis or Elliott Wave, to capitalize on reversal points on the chart.
Example 1
The first example illustrates forming a downtrend using a Smart Money strategy. After the market structure shifts and the first BOS is broken, we begin looking for a short entry.
Once Entry Model 1 is established, a Fair Value Gap appears, which we use as our position-entry zone. The nearest target becomes the newly formed BOS level.
In this trade, it was crucial to wait for a strong downtrend to develop before hunting for entries. Therefore, we waited for the first BOS to break and entered the trade to ride the continuation of the downtrend down to the next BOS level.
Example 2
The next example illustrates a downtrend developing with a Fair Value Gap on the 1-hour timeframe. The FVG is also displayed directly on the HTF candles in the chart.
The pattern forms within the HTF Fair Value Gap, indicating that we can balance this inefficiency and ride the continuation of the downtrend.
The target can simply be a 1:2 or 1:3 risk–reward ratio, as in our case.
📌 CONCLUSION
These two examples illustrate how this indicator can be used to identify reversals or trend continuations. In truth, there are countless ways to incorporate this tool, and each trader can adapt the model to fit their own strategy.
Always remember to rely on your own analysis and only enter trades when you feel confident in them.
ICT Order Blocks v2 (Debug)Josh has a very large PP xD
Understanding Order Blocks (OBs) - The ICT Perspective
This document delves into the concept of Order Blocks (OBs) from the perspective of the ICT methodology. It outlines what OBs are, their significance in trading, and how the "ICT Order Blocks v2 (Refined)" indicator functions to identify and visualize these critical price levels. By understanding OBs, traders can better navigate market movements and make informed decisions based on institutional trading behavior.
What is an Order Block (OB)?
Within ICT methodology, an Order Block represents a specific price candle where significant buying or selling interest from institutions (Smart Money) is believed to have occurred. They are potential areas where price might return and react.
Bullish Order Block: Typically the last down-closing candle before a strong, impulsive upward move (displacement). It suggests institutions may have absorbed selling pressure and initiated long positions here.
Bearish Order Block: Typically the last up-closing candle before a strong, impulsive downward move (displacement). It suggests institutions may have distributed long positions or initiated short positions here.
Why are OBs Significant (ICT View)?
Institutional Footprint: They mark potential zones of large order execution.
Support/Resistance: Unmitigated OBs can act as sensitive price levels where reactions are expected. Bullish OBs may provide support; Bearish OBs may provide resistance.
Origin of Moves: They often mark the origin point of significant price swings.
Liquidity Engineering: Institutions might drive price back to OBs to mitigate earlier positions or to engineer liquidity before continuing a move.
Common Refinements
ICT often emphasizes higher probability OBs that are associated with:
Displacement: The move away from the OB is sharp and decisive.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs): An FVG forming immediately after the OB strengthens its validity.
OB Mitigation: This refers to price returning to the level of the Order Block after its formation. Price might react at the edge (proximal line) or the 50% level (mean threshold) of the OB. An OB is often considered fully mitigated or invalidated if price trades decisively through its entire range, especially with a candle body closing beyond it.
How the "ICT Order Blocks v2 (Refined)" Indicator Works
This indicator automates the detection and visualization of the most recent unmitigated Order Block of each type (Bullish/Bearish), incorporating optional filters.
Detection:
It looks at the relationship between the candle two bars ago ( ), the previous candle ( ), and potentially the current candle ( ).
Bullish OB: Identifies if candle was a down-close (close < open ) AND candle broke above the high of candle (high > high ).
Bearish OB: Identifies if candle was an up-close (close > open ) AND candle broke below the low of candle (low < low ).
Accuracy Filters (Optional Inputs):
These filters help identify potentially higher-probability OBs:
Require Fair Value Gap (FVG)?: If enabled, the indicator checks if an FVG formed immediately after the OB candle ( ). Specifically, it looks for a gap between candle and candle (low > high for Bullish OB confirmation, high < low for Bearish).
Require Strong Close Breakout?: If enabled, it requires the breakout candle ( ) to close beyond the range of the OB candle ( ). (close > high for Bullish, close < low for Bearish). This suggests stronger confirmation.
Storing the Most Recent OB:
When an OB is detected and passes any enabled filters, its details (high, low, formation bar index) are stored. Crucially, this indicator only tracks the single most recent valid unmitigated OB of each type (one Bullish, one Bearish) using var variables. If a newer valid OB forms, it replaces the previously stored one.
Drawing Boxes:
If a valid Bullish OB is being tracked (and Show Bullish OBs is enabled), it draws a box (box.new) using the high and low of the identified OB candle ( ). The same process applies to Bearish OBs (Show Bearish OBs enabled). The boxes automatically extend to the right (extend.right) and their right edge is updated on each new bar (box.set_right) until they are mitigated. Labels ("Bull OB" / "Bear OB") are displayed inside the boxes.
Mitigation & Box Deletion:
The indicator checks if the current closing price (close ) has moved entirely beyond the range of the tracked OB.
Mitigation Rule Used: A Bullish OB is considered mitigated if close < bull_ob_low. A Bearish OB is considered mitigated if close > bear_ob_high. Once an OB is marked as mitigated, the indicator stops tracking it and its corresponding box is automatically deleted (box.delete) from the chart.
This indicator provides a dynamic visualization of the most recent, potentially significant Order Blocks that meet the specified criteria, helping traders identify key areas of interest based on ICT principles.
Hidden LiquidityHidden Liquidity Indicator: Detecting Breaker Blocks and Hidden Order Blocks (HOBs)
The Hidden Liquidity Indicator is a powerful tool designed to assist traders in identifying breaker blocks and hidden order blocks (HOBs). By analyzing untouched candle bodies within order blocks, it provides a systematic approach to evaluating fair value gaps (FVGs) and order blocks based on engulfing candles.
Features of the Hidden Liquidity Indicator
This indicator effectively differentiates between complete HOBs, partial HOBs and partially mitigated HOBs (PMHOBs), allowing traders to assess market structure with precision. The key classifications include:
HOB (Hidden Order Block): The candle body fully aligns within the FVGs without being touched by wicks, establishing a strong and reliable breaker block.
PMHOB (Partial Mitigated Hidden Order Block) : The candle body is mitigated by less than 50%, making it a weaker version of the Hidden OB.
PHOBs (Partial Hidden Orderblock) : The candle body fits at least by 50% in the FVG making it also weaker than a common HOB
For an HOB to be considered valid, its equilibrium must be crossed by the FVGs, ensuring a focused and high-quality analysis of market structure.
Visualization and Market Structure Analysis
The Hidden Liquidity Indicator utilizes distinct color codes to enhance readability and clarity:
Bullish HOBs – Green
Bearish HOBs – Red
PMHOBs – Orange
PHOBs - Blue
Multi-Timeframe Analysis (MTF)
The indicator is capable of identifying HOBs,PHOBS and PMHOBs across all timeframes. Traders can seamlessly integrate their preferred timeframes by configuring the settings in TradingView.
Settings
You can choose wether you want the indicator to show PHOBs and PMHOBs
Why Use the Hidden Liquidity Indicator?
This indicator provides a structured and precise methodology for analyzing order blocks and breaker blocks. By focusing on untouched candle bodies and equilibrium levels, it offers a unique perspective on market structure that is often overlooked by traditional order block indicators. Its multi-timeframe analysis capability makes it an indispensable tool for traders seeking to refine their market strategy and enhance decision-making.
This guide serves as a comprehensive reference for optimizing the Hidden Liquidity Indicator, enabling traders to leverage its full potential for effective market analys
John Bob-Trading-BotDeveloped by Ayebale John Bob with the help of his bestie, this innovative strategy combines advanced Smart Money Concepts with practical risk management tools to help traders identify and capitalize on key market moves.
Key Features:
Smart Money Concepts & Fair Value Gaps (FVG):
The strategy monitors price action for fair value gaps, which are visualized as extremely faint horizontal lines on the chart. These FVGs signal potential areas where institutional traders might have entered or exited positions.
Dynamic Entry Signals:
Buy signals are triggered when the price crosses above the 50-bar lowest low or when a bullish FVG is detected. Conversely, sell signals are generated when the price falls below the 50-bar highest high or a bearish FVG is identified. Each signal is visually marked on the chart with clear buy (green) and sell (red) labels.
Multi-Level Order Execution:
Once an entry signal occurs, the strategy places five separate orders, each with its own take-profit (TP) level. The TP levels are calculated dynamically using the Average True Range (ATR) and a set of predefined multipliers. This allows traders to scale out of positions as the market moves favorably.
Dynamic Risk Management:
A stop-loss is automatically set at a distance determined by the ATR, ensuring that risk is managed in accordance with current market volatility.
Real-Time Trade Information Table:
In the bottom-right corner of the chart, a trade information table displays essential details about the current trade:
Side: Displays "BUY NOW" (with a dark green background) for long entries or "SELL NOW" (with a dark red background) for short entries.
Entry Price & Stop-Loss: Shows the entry price (highlighted in green) and the corresponding stop-loss level (highlighted in red).
Take-Profit Levels: Lists the five TP levels, each of which turns green once the market price reaches that target.
Timer: A live timer in minutes counts from the moment the current trade trigger started, helping traders track the duration of their active trades.
Visual Progress Bar:
A histogram-style progress bar is plotted on the chart, visually representing the percentage gain (or loss) relative to the entry price.
This strategy was meticulously designed to incorporate both technical analysis and smart risk management, offering a robust trading solution that adapts to changing market conditions. Whether you're a seasoned trader or just starting out, the AyebaleJohnBob Trading Bot equips you with the tools and visual cues needed to make well-informed trading decisions.

CandelaCharts - Inversion Fair Value Gap (IFVG) 📝 Overview
An ICT Inversion Fair Value Gap, often called an Inverse FVG, occurs when a Fair Value Gap (FVG) fails to maintain price support or resistance, resulting in a price breach beyond the FVG. This phenomenon highlights an initial shift in price momentum, signaling potential reversals or retracements.
A Bullish IFVG forms when the price breaks above a bearish fair value gap, signaling a potential shift to bullish momentum.
A Bearish IFVG forms when the price breaks below a bullish fair value gap, signaling a potential shift to bearish momentum.
The IFVG Indicator is a powerful tool designed to automatically detect Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVGs) on your charts. It highlights key zones where price breaches fair value gaps, signaling potential momentum shifts or trend reversals. Whether you're tracking bullish or bearish IFVGs, this indicator provides clear visual cues, helping you make informed trading decisions with precision and confidence. Perfect for traders seeking to anticipate market structure changes effortlessly.

Bearish BreakerDescription:
The Bearish Breaker is designed to detect significant bearish candles that meet specific customizable conditions, allowing traders to easily identify potential sell signals or strong downtrends. This indicator highlights bearish candles based on size, close position within the candle's range, and other specific criteria, with options to plot Fibonacci levels, a stop loss line, and dollar loss estimation.
Key Features:
1. Customizable Candle Highlighting Conditions:
Highlights candles that are bearish and whose body is greater than a user-defined multiple of the average candle body size over a specified period.
2.Checks if the candle’s close is within a customizable percentage from the bottom of the candle’s range (default is 35%).
3. Ensures the close is lower than the lows of the previous two candles.
Visual Markings:
1. A plus sign appears below large bearish candles that meet the highlighting criteria.
2. Optionally plots a line at the low of the previous candle, labeled as "FVG" (Fair Value Gap).
3. Fibonacci Levels:
Plots 61.8% and 50% Fibonacci levels from the low to high of the highlighted candle.
4. Provides options to show/hide labels and adjust line colors.
5. Shaded Area:
Fills the area between the 50% and 61.8% levels with customizable color and transparency.
Stop Loss and Dollar Calculation:
1. Calculates a stop loss level, set a user-defined number of ticks above the high of the highlighted candle.
2. Displays a label with the potential dollar loss from the "FVG" to the stop loss line, using a specified dollar value per tick.
How To Use
1. Highlight Conditions: Adjust parameters like the average body length, threshold multiplier, and close percentage to fine-tune the bearish candle detection. typically I like to use the 4-6 body length with a 1.5 multiplier
2. Visual Elements: Toggle labels, colors, and transparency of Fibonacci and FVG lines, allowing you to customize the display for clarity.
3. Risk Management: Set the dollar value per tick and stop loss distance (in ticks) to display potential risk for your specific instrument , for example dollar per tick on NQ is $5 , ES is $12.50, CL is $10
4. Alerts:
An alert can be set to trigger each time a large bearish candle forms and meets all conditions, helping you stay notified of potential bearish momentum shifts.
5. Parameters:
Threshold Multiplier: Adjusts the size threshold for highlighting a bearish candle.
Close Percent in Range: Sets how close to the bottom of the candle’s range the close must be (0-100%). I like the candle to close in the lower 75 percent of the candle.
6. Stop Loss Ticks Above High: Controls how far above the high of the highlighted candle to place the stop loss.
7. Dollar Value per Tick: Calculates potential dollar loss between the FVG level and stop loss based on the asset’s tick value.
8. To trade this setup I like to wait for the first 1-2 candles after the highlighted breaker candle to pull back into the shaded area for a short position and target the low of the breaker candle or a 2-1 risk to reward.
Ideal For:
This indicator is ideal for traders looking to identify strong bearish momentum, manage risk visually, and use Fibonacci and fair value gaps on large bearish candles as potential areas for short entries with suggested stop loss areas and target profits.

Key Prices & LevelsThis indicator is designed to visualize key price levels & areas for NY trading sessions based on the price action from previous day, pre-market activity and key areas from NY session itself. The purpose is to unify all key levels into a single indicator, while allowing a user to control which levels they want to visualize and how.
The indicator identifies the following:
Asia Range High/Lows, along with ability to visualize with a box
London Range High/Lows, along with ability to visualize with a box
Previous Day PM Session High/Lows
Current Day Lunch Session High/Lows, starts appearing after 12pm EST once the lunch session starts
New York Open (8:30am EST) price
9:53 Open (root candle) price
New York Midnight (12:00am EST) price
Previous Day High/Lows
First 1m FVG after NY Session Start (after 9:30am), with the ability to configure minimum FVG size.
Opening Range Gap, showing regular market hours close price (previous day 16:15pm EST close), new session open price (9:30am EST open) and optionally the mid-point between the two
Asia Range 50% along with 2, 2.5, 4 and 4.5 deviations of the Asia range in both directions
Configurability:
Each price level can be turned off
Styles in terms of line type, color
Ability to turn on/off labels for price levels and highlighting of prices on price scale
Ability to control label text for price levels
How is it different:
Identifies novel concepts such as 9:53 open, root candle that can be used as a bounce/resistance area during AM/PM sessions as well as confirmation of direction once closed over/under to indicate price's willingness to continue moving in the same direction.
It also shows 1st 1m FVG after New York Session open, that can be used to determine direction of the price action depending on PA's reaction to that area. While both 9:53 and 1m FVG are 1m based markers, these levels are visualized by the indicator on all timeframes from 15s to 1h.
Additionally the indicator is able to both highlight key prices in the price scale pane as well as combine labels to minimize clutter when multiple levels have the same price.
Lastly for in-session ranges such as Lunch High/Low the indicator updates the range in real-time as opposed to waiting for the lunch session to be over.

🔶 FEATURES
🔹 Step Algorithm
Crafting Your Strategy:
You can add multiple steps to your strategy, using both internal and external (custom) conditions.
Evaluating Your Conditions:
The system evaluates your conditions sequentially.
Only after the previous step becomes true will the next one be evaluated.
This ensures your strategy only triggers when all specified conditions are met.
Executing Your Strategy:
Once all steps in your strategy are true, the backtester automatically opens a market order.
You can also configure exit conditions within the strategy builder to manage your positions effectively.
🔹 External and Internal build-in conditions
Users can choose to use external or internal conditions or just one of the two categories.
Build-in conditions:
CHoCH or BOS
CHoCH or BOS Sweep

AMD-PO3-Goldbach levels [promuckaj]This script is developed on time & price, algorithmic market theory that is well explained in the book "Demystifying ICT" by Hopiplaka.
Indicators main features:
*PO3 - Goldbach(IPDA) levels which is based on the size of a price range (dealing range) as a factor of power of three (3^n).
There is PO3 numbers starting from 3 to 177147 as predefined, but also there is field for custom one so that users can experiment.
By selecting the PO3 number script calculate range low and range high using PO3 formula based on the current price and represent it on the chart into multiple levels of Goldbach numbers. At each this levels it is expected to see price that form block, fair value gap etc..., as defined in concept by ICT.
Levels:
Ext => External range
Low => Range low
High => Range high
FVG => Fair value gap
RB => Rejection block
OB => Order block
LV => Liquidity void
BR => Breaker
MB => Mitigation block
*AMD (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution) cycles, that can be modified by changing timings and colors.
Using PO3-Goldbach levels to identify where at the current time profile price is, there can be done trades in line with AMD cycles.
Default timings are set for Forex pairs.
*FVG, HIPPO, Displacement is well known parts of a market structure, so those three are also implemented here with some possible changes for them (colors, extension, labels...).
FVG => Fair value gap, imbalances in the market, or when buying and selling are not equal, in most cases can become a magnet for the price.
HIPPO => Hidden interbank price point objective, invention by Hopiplaka to demonstrate meaning of this "hidden" order block. It basically take the wicks of 2 consecutive bars that create a fair value gap.
DISPLACEMENT => It is practically similar to FVG but with option to measure length and strength, where in combination it will calculate and mark candle by looking back to the bars to determine the candle range standard deviation.
FEATURES:
-Multiple PO3 numbers, including special option to set your custom one
-Color and style customization
-Main levels mode, only Low, High and Equilibrium levels
-PO3 table with all PO3 calcs from multiple numbers, and mark the same levels from multiple
-Option to shift DR up or down
-Option to show you always upper/lower main DR levels (Low/High/Eq.)
NOTE:
-First of all special thanks to fxdmn that gives me idea from his indicator, how to present this through my own script.
-GB levels requires the correct symbols price calculation to work properly, everything is done by auto calc, tested well on EURUSD,SP500,DXY,Gold and BTC.
TradeMaster ProTrading effectively requires a range of techniques, experience, and expertise. From technical analysis to market fundamentals, traders must navigate multiple factors, including market sentiment and economic conditions. However, traders often find themselves overwhelmed by market noise, making it challenging to filter out distractions and make informed decisions. To address this, we present a powerful indicator package designed to assist traders on their journey to success.
The TradeMaster indicator package encompasses a variety of trading strategies, including the SMC (Supply, Demand, and Price Action) approach, along with many other techniques. By leveraging concepts such as price action trading, support and resistance analysis, supply and demand dynamics, these indicators can empower traders to analyze entry and exit positions with precision. Unlike other forms of technical analysis that produce values or plots based on historical price data, Price Action brings you the facts straight from the source - the current price movements.
The indicator package consists of three powerful indicators that can be used individually or together to maximize trading effectiveness.
⭐ About the Pro Indicator
The Pro indicator is the cornerstone of the package, offering a comprehensive range of functions. It's strength lies in our unique structure calculation, which is based on real price action data, capturing every ticks from small intraday fluctuations to the significant high timeframe movements. The Pro Indicator reflects our personal use and deep comprehension of Smart Money Concepts. It provides streamlined tools for tracking algorithmic trends with modern visualizations, without unnecessary clutter.
In the ever-evolving trading landscape, mainstream methods and strategies can quickly become outdated as they are widely adopted. Liquidity is constantly sought after, and the best source for this is exploring and exploiting trading strategies that are widely accepted and applied. Currently, one of these strategies is the SMC (Supply, Demand, and Price Action).
It's no coincidence that our educational materials incorporate concepts such as liquidity grabs (LG) and Smart Money Traps (SMT). As the application of SMC gains popularity among retail traders, trading with this approach becomes more challenging. Therefore, the recent focus has been on reforming the SMC methodology, as it is the only method that relies on real price movements and will always work when applied correctly.
▸ What does proper application of SMC entail?
Many SMC traders associate their key areas of interest with the market structure, which is generally considered acceptable. However, depending solely on a single foundation can lead to significant deviations, which may cause notable impacts on trading results. Moreover, if the basis for the market structure calculation is inaccurate, the consequences can be even more severe. It's akin to risking money on a lottery ticket, believing it will be a winner.
Our methodology is different, and it may ensure longevity in the financial markets. The structure remains crucial, but it is not the sole foundation of everything; instead, it serves as a validation tool. Each calculation, such as order blocks (OB), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), liquidity grabs (LG), range analysis, and more, is independent and unique, separate from the structure. However, validation must ultimately come from the structure itself.
We employ individual and high-quality filters: before a function calculation is validated by the structure, it must undergo rigorous testing based on its own set of validation conditions. This approach aims to enhance robustness and accuracy, providing traders with a reliable framework for making informed trading decisions.
▸ An example for structure validation: Order Block with "Swing Sensitivity"
These order blocks will only be displayed and utilized by the script if there is a swing structure validation with a valid break. In other words, the presence of a confirmed swing Change of Character (ChoCh) or Break of Structure (BoS) is essential for the Order Block to be considered valid and relevant.
This approach ensures that the order blocks are aligned with the overall market structure and are not based on isolated or unreliable price movements. Whether it's Fair Value Gaps (FVG), Liquidity Grabs (LG), Range calculations, or other functionalities, the same underlying principle holds true. The background structure calculation serves as a validation mechanism for the data and insights generated by these functions, ensuring they adhere to the specific criteria and rules established within our methodology. By incorporating this robust validation process, traders can have confidence in the reliability and accuracy of the information provided by the indicator, allowing them to make informed trading decisions based on validated data and analysis.
👉 Usage - the general approach:
Determine your trading style using the Pro Indicator and build your basic strategy. This indicator helps you understand your trading style, whether it's swing trading, scalping or another approach. By analyzing the Pro Indicator, you gain valuable information about potential market trends, entry and exit points, and overall market sentiment.
👉 Example of usage:
In the following chart, you'll notice how we've utilized the indicator to formulate a strategic trading approach. We've employed Order Blocks equipped with volume parameters to identify crucial market zones. Simultaneously, we've leveraged swing/internal market structures to gain insights into potential long and short-term market turnarounds. Lastly, we've examined trend line liquidity zones to pinpoint probable impulses and breakouts within ongoing trends.
Now we can see how the price descended to the order block with the highest volume, which we had previously marked as our point of interest for an entry. As the price closed below the median Order Block, we noted its mitigation. After an internal CHoCH, it's directing us towards the main Order Block as a target.
👉 Smart Money Concepts Functions
Market Structure: identifies and marks key structural changes in the market, in order to visually highlight shifts in market trends and patterns. This feature is designed to alert you of significant changes in the market's behavior, signaling a potential shift from accumulation to distribution phase, or vice versa. It helps traders adapt their strategies based on evolving market dynamics.
Order Blocks: pinpoints crucial zones where large institutional investors ("smart money") have shown strong buying or selling interest recently. Order blocks can serve as a tool for identifying key levels for potential trade entries or exits.
FVGs (Fair Value Gaps): detects discrepancies between the perceived market value and actual market price, revealing potential areas for price correction. With its mitigation settings, you can fine-tune the FVG detection according to the magnitude of value misalignment you consider significant.
Liquidity Grabs: helps track "smart money" footprints by identifying levels where large institutional traders may have induced liquidity traps. Understanding these traps can aid in avoiding false market moves and optimizing trade entries.
Automatic Fibonacci Tool: Simplifying the task of identifying key Fibonacci retracement and extension levels, this tool ties Fibonacci levels to the structure for you. It aids in recognizing significant support and resistance levels, providing a clearer understanding of potential price movements.
The Smart Money Concepts trading strategy - combined with these dynamic features - becomes a powerful analytical asset for any trader, providing in-depth insights into market dynamics, trends, and potential opportunities.
👉 Algorithmic trend and dynamic support and resistance
Trend Rainbow: This proprietary feature uses our unique TRMA** method to define short-term, medium-term, and long-term market trends. It incorporates state-of-the-art visualization techniques to render the trend information in an intuitive, easily interpretable manner. It's a 21st-century tool designed for the modern trader who values both precision and simplicity.
Multi-Timeframe Moving Averages: This feature allows traders to simultaneously monitor moving averages across multiple timeframes, providing a comprehensive perspective on market trends. It helps identify dynamic support and resistance zones, key levels where price movements are likely to slow down or reverse. This function not only aids in planning potential trade entries and exits, but also calculates the precise percentage distance to these levels. Can be as well crucial for risk management, enabling traders to set stop losses and profit targets based on solid, data-driven analysis. The Multi-Timeframe Moving Averages function is a versatile tool that combines strategic planning and risk control into a single, easy-to-use feature.
👉 Unlock the Hidden Market Dynamics
Market Sessions: This feature - by default - provides a clear representation of the four major global trading sessions. Each session is distinctly marked on your trading chart, helping you visualize the specific time periods when these markets are most active. Recognizing these sessions is critical for understanding market dynamics, as the opening and closing of major markets can lead to significant price movements. Whether you're a day trader looking to exploit intra-day volatility or a long-term investor wanting to understand broader market trends, the Market Sessions feature can be a useful tool in your trading toolkit.
Divergence Functions: allow the use of unique indicators along with our proprietary ones to detect potential price reversals. As each asset has a different market maker, divergences can vary greatly across different charts and timeframes. With our Divergence Ranking Table, you can quickly determine which divergences have the highest success rates and which are the least successful on a given chart. This feature allows you to adapt your strategies to the most effective signals, enhancing your trading decisions and boosting your potential profits.
Volume Profile with delta: This feature may give traders an edge by providing an in-depth view of market activity. It illustrates the amount of trading volume at different price levels, combined with the 'delta', which is the difference between buying and selling volume. This information allows you to see areas of high trading activity and understand whether the volume is pushing the price up or down. This real-time insight into the market's supply and demand can be instrumental in identifying key support and resistance levels, predicting potential reversals, and recognizing where the market is likely to move. Similarly to Fibonacci tool, Volume Profile can be tied to the current market structure.
👉 Improve Trading Decisions
Range: This innovative feature assists traders in determining discount, premium, and equilibrium zones. It provides a unique way of visualizing price areas where a security could be overbought or oversold (premium or discount zones), and where the price is expected to be fair and balanced (equilibrium zone). Distance from current price is displayed in percentage terms, which can assist traders with crucial data for risk management and strategic planning. The Range function helps you identify the most favorable price zones for entries and set your stop-loss and take-profit levels more accurately.
Previous OHLC: This functionality offers the capability to display the previous Open, High, Low, Close values. It is primarily set on the daily timeframe and serves as an important reference for traders. Having an overview of these key levels from the previous day gives you a solid foundation on which to base today's trading decisions. Recognizing these levels can help you predict potential turning points in the market, providing an advantage in your trading strategy.
Smart Money Zones: our secret weapon for swing traders. Similarly to order blocks, these zones can accurately identify crucial areas of strong buying or selling interest by large institutional investors. However while Order Blocks focus on recent price action, Smart Money Zones take the whole chart into consideration, resulting in more established support and demand zones.
The summary graph combines six unique indicators (Momentum, Trend Strength, Volume, Volatility, Asset Strength, and Sentiment) along with Structure and Sessions. These indicators use our TRMA** method to provide a comprehensive overview of market dynamics. By consolidating these indicators into a single graph, traders can gain valuable insights into the overall market landscape.
** TRMA (Trend Rainbow Moving Averages) is a complex but customizable moving average matrix calculation that is designed to measure market trend direction, strength and shifting.
⭐ Conclusion
We hold the view that the true path to success is the synergy between the trader and the tool, contrary to the common belief that the tool itself is the sole determinant of profitability. The actual scenario is more nuanced than such an oversimplification. Our aim is to offer useful features that meet the needs of the 21st century and that we actually use.
