Strong/Weak Candle FinderStrong/Weak Candle Finder (SWCF)
Overview:
The Strong/Weak Candle Finder (SWCF) is a versatile TradingView indicator designed to help traders identify statistically significant candles based on their size relative to recent historical price action. By analyzing a lookback period, the indicator dynamically calculates a threshold to classify candles as either "strong" (larger than the threshold) or "weak" (smaller than the threshold), providing visual cues directly on your chart.
This tool can be invaluable for traders looking to:
Spot potential momentum breakouts or high volatility (Strong Candles).
Identify periods of consolidation or low volatility (Weak Candles).
Gauge shifts in market sentiment based on candle body or range dynamics.
How It Works:
Candle Size Calculation: You choose how candle size is measured from four methods:
High - Low: The full range of the candle.
High - Close: The distance from the high to the close.
Open - Close: The size of the candle body.
Low - Open: The distance from the low to the open.
Historical Analysis: The indicator looks back over a user-defined LookBack Period to collect candle sizes.
Grouping & Precision: To smooth the distribution, candle sizes are grouped based on the Group Precision Size. This parameter divides the observed range of candle sizes into a set number of "bins," and individual candle sizes are rounded to the nearest representative value of these bins.
Percentile Threshold: A dynamic Outlier Pip Value is calculated based on the Outlier Percentile you set.
If Display Mode is "Strong Candles," this threshold represents the Nth percentile of the largest candle sizes (e.g., the 80th percentile if Outlier Percentile is 20%). Candles larger than this are marked as "Strong."
If Display Mode is "Weak Candles," this threshold represents the Nth percentile of the smallest candle sizes (e.g., the 20th percentile). Candles smaller than this are marked as "Weak."
Visual Markers: When a current candle meets the criteria (strong or weak based on your display mode), a configurable shape is plotted above (for strong) or below (for weak) the candle.
Resampling: The historical distribution and outlier threshold are recalculated every Resample Period (number of bars) to adapt to changing market conditions.
Key Features:
Dynamic Thresholds: Adapts to market volatility instead of using fixed pip values.
Customizable Candle Definition: Choose from four methods to define what "candle size" means to your strategy.
Flexible Display Modes: Focus on either identifying exceptionally strong candles or unusually weak ones.
Adjustable Sensitivity: Fine-tune the rarity of signals with Outlier Percentile and Group Precision Size.
Visual Chart Markers: Clear, customizable shapes (arrow, circle, etc.) for easy identification.
Periodic Recalculation: Ensures the indicator remains relevant as market dynamics evolve.
Parameters:
Display Mode:
Strong Candles: Highlights candles larger than the upper percentile threshold.
Weak Candles: Highlights candles smaller than the lower percentile threshold.
Resample Period (Candles): How often (in bars) to recalculate the historical distribution and outlier threshold.
LookBack Period (Candles): The number of past candles to analyze for the historical distribution. (Note: Plots will only begin after this many bars have loaded on the chart).
Group Precision Size: Number of groups to divide the candle size range into for rounding historical sizes. Higher values mean finer precision (less rounding).
Outlier Percentile (%): The percentile used to define the threshold for strong/weak candles.
Candle Size Method: (High-Low, High-Close, Open-Close, Low-Open).
Visuals:
Strong Shape: Choose the icon style for strong candles.
Weak Shape: Choose the icon style for weak candles.
Shape Size: Adjust the size of the plotted icons.
How to Use:
Strong Candles:
May indicate increased momentum, potential breakout confirmations, or high conviction moves.
Consider using in trending markets or as a filter for entry signals.
Weak Candles:
May signal market indecision, low volatility, consolidation phases, or potential exhaustion of a prior move.
Can be useful for identifying range-bound conditions or periods to be cautious.
Experimentation: Adjust the LookBack Period, Outlier Percentile, and Group Precision Size to match your trading style and the characteristics of the asset you are trading. What constitutes "strong" or "weak" can vary significantly.
Confirmation Tool: Use in conjunction with other indicators (e.g., moving averages, RSI, volume) for more robust trading decisions.
Important Notes:
The indicator requires sufficient historical data (LookBack Period) to initialize. You may not see plots on the chart immediately if there aren't enough bars loaded.
Like all indicators, the SWCF is not a standalone trading system and should not be used as the sole basis for financial decisions.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always use appropriate risk management.
We hope you find the Strong/Weak Candle Finder a valuable addition to your trading toolkit!

1M Scalp Setup – 2ndHi/2ndLo Breakout1M Scalp Setup – 2ndHi/2ndLo Breakout
This script is designed for 1-minute chart scalpers seeking high-probability intraday breakout setups based on early session price action. The strategy revolves around identifying the first high and low of the day, and then detecting the second breach (2nd high or 2nd low) to anticipate breakout entries.
🔍 Core Logic:
EMA Filter : A configurable EMA (default 8-period) is plotted for trend context.
1st High/Low Detection : Captures the very first high and low of each trading day.
2nd High/Low Markers : Identifies the second time price breaks the initial high or low, acting as a potential signal zone.
Breakout Signals :
A Buy Signal is triggered when price closes above the 2nd high.
A Sell Signal is triggered when price closes below the 2nd low.
Each signal is only triggered once per day to reduce noise and avoid overtrading.
🖌️ Visual Markers:
1stHi and 1stLo : Early session levels (red and green).
2ndHi and 2ndLo : Key breakout reference points (purple and blue).
B and S Labels : Buy and Sell triggers marked in real-time once breakouts occur.
⚙️ Inputs:
EMA Length (default: 8)
Customizable Colors for Buy/Sell signals and key markers
This tool is best used in fast-moving markets or during high-volume sessions. Combine with volume or higher-timeframe confirmation for improved accuracy.
Enhanced BTC Order Block IndicatorThe script you provided is an "Enhanced BTC Order Block Indicator" written in Pine Script v5 for TradingView. It is designed to identify and visually mark Order Blocks (OBs) on a Bitcoin (BTC) price chart, specifically tailored for a high-frequency scalping strategy on the 5-minute (M5) timeframe. Order Blocks are key price zones where institutional traders are likely to have placed significant buy or sell orders, making them high-probability areas for reversals or continuations. The script incorporates customizable filters, visual indicators, and alert functionality to assist traders in executing the strategy outlined earlier.
Key Features and Functionality
Purpose:
The indicator detects bullish Order Blocks (buy zones) and bearish Order Blocks (sell zones) based on a predefined percentage price movement (default 0.5–1%) and volume confirmation.
It marks these zones on the chart with colored boxes and provides alerts when an OB is detected.
User-Configurable Inputs:
Price Move Range: minMovePercent (default 0.5%) and maxMovePercent (default 1.0%) define the acceptable price movement range for identifying OBs.
Volume Threshold: volumeThreshold (default 1.5x average volume) ensures OB detection is backed by significant trading activity.
Lookback Period: lookback (default 10 candles) determines how many previous candles are analyzed to find the last candle before a strong move.
Wick/Body Option: useWick (default false) allows users to choose whether the OB zone is based on the candle’s wick or body.
Colors: bullishOBColor (default green) and bearishOBColor (default red) set the visual appearance of OB boxes.
Box Extension: boxExtension (default 100 bars) controls how far the OB box extends to the right on the chart.
RSI Filter: useRSI (default true) enables an RSI filter, with rsiLength (default 14), rsiBullishThreshold (default 50), and rsiBearishThreshold (default 50) for trend confirmation.
M15 Support/Resistance: useSR (default true) and srLookback (default 20) integrate M15 timeframe swing highs and lows for additional OB validation.
Core Logic:
Bullish OB Detection: Identifies a strong upward move (0.5–1%) with volume above the threshold. It then looks back to the last bearish candle before the move to define the OB zone. RSI > 50 and proximity to M15 support/resistance (optional) enhance confirmation.
Bearish OB Detection: Identifies a strong downward move (0.5–1%) with volume confirmation, tracing back to the last bullish candle. RSI < 50 and M15 resistance proximity (optional) add validation.
The OB zone is drawn as a rectangle from the high to low of the identified candle, extended rightward.
Visual Output:
Boxes: Uses box.new to draw OB zones, with left set to the previous bar (bar_index ), right extended by boxExtension, top and bottom defined by the OB’s high and low prices. Each box includes a text label ("Bullish OB" or "Bearish OB") and is semi-transparent.
Colors distinguish between bullish (green) and bearish (red) OBs.
Alerts:
Global alertcondition definitions trigger notifications for "Bullish OB Detected" and "Bearish OB Detected" when the respective conditions are met, displaying the current close price in the message.
Helper Functions:
f_priceChangePercent: Calculates the percentage price change between open and close prices.
isNearSR: Checks if the price is within 0.2% of M15 swing highs or lows for support/resistance confluence.
How It Works
The script runs on each candle, evaluating the current price action against the user-defined criteria.
When a bullish or bearish move is detected (meeting the percentage, volume, RSI, and S/R conditions), it identifies the preceding candle to define the OB zone.
The OB is then visualized on the chart, and an alert is triggered if configured in TradingView.
Use Case
This indicator is tailored for your BTC scalping strategy, where trades last 1–15 minutes targeting 0.3–0.5% gains. It helps traders spot institutional order zones on the M5 chart, confirmed by secondary M1 analysis, and integrates with your use of EMAs, RSI, and volume. The customizable settings allow adaptation to varying market conditions or personal preferences.
Limitations
The M15 S/R detection is simplified (using swing highs/lows), which may not always align perfectly with manual support/resistance levels.
Alerts depend on TradingView’s alert system and require manual setup.
Performance may vary with high volatility or low-volume periods, necessitating parameter adjustments.

Breakout Swing High LowThis open-source indicator identifies swing high and swing low breakouts, providing clear visual signals for potential trend entries. It is designed for traders who use price action to spot breakout opportunities in trending markets.
How It Works
Swing Detection: The indicator uses a user-defined lookback period (default: 4 candles) to identify swing highs (peaks) and swing lows (troughs). A swing high is confirmed when a candle's high is higher than the surrounding candles, and a swing low is confirmed when a candle's low is lower.
Breakout Signals: A green triangle below the candle signals a breakout above the most recent swing high, indicating a potential buy opportunity. A red triangle above the candle signals a breakout below the most recent swing low, indicating a potential sell opportunity. Each swing level triggers only one breakout signal to avoid clutter.
Visualization: Swing high levels are drawn as green dashed lines, and swing low levels as red dashed lines, extending 15 candles for clarity. Breakout signals are marked with small triangles.
How to Use
Apply the Indicator: Add the indicator to your TradingView chart.
Adjust Lookback: Set the "Lookback Candles" input (default: 4) to control the sensitivity of swing detection. Smaller values detect shorter-term swings, while larger values identify more significant levels.
Interpret Signals:
Green triangle (below candle): Consider a buy opportunity when price breaks above a swing high.
Red triangle (above candle): Consider a sell opportunity when price breaks below a swing low.
Combine with Other Tools: Use in conjunction with trend indicators (e.g., 50-period EMA) or support/resistance levels to filter signals in trending markets.
Timeframes: Works best on higher timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H) in trending markets to avoid false breakouts in sideways conditions.
Dynamic Liquidity Depth [BigBeluga]
Dynamic Liquidity Depth
A liquidity mapping engine that reveals hidden zones of market vulnerability. This tool simulates where potential large concentrations of stop-losses may exist — above recent highs (sell-side) and below recent lows (buy-side) — by analyzing real price behavior and directional volume. The result is a dynamic two-sided volume profile that highlights where price is most likely to gravitate during liquidation events, reversals, or engineered stop hunts.
🔵 KEY FEATURES
Two-Sided Liquidity Profiles:
Plots two separate profiles on the chart — one above price for potential sell-side liquidity , and one below price for potential buy-side liquidity . Each profile reflects the volume distribution across binned zones derived from historical highs and lows.
Real Stop Zone Simulation:
Each profile is offset from the current high or low using an ATR-based buffer. This simulates where traders might cluster their stop-losses above swing highs (short stops) or below swing lows (long stops).
Directional Volume Analysis:
Buy-side volume is accumulated only from bullish candles (close > open), while sell-side volume is accumulated only from bearish candles (close < open). This directional filtering enhances accuracy by capturing genuine pressure zones.
Dynamic Volume Heatmap:
Each liquidity bin is rendered as a horizontal box with a color gradient based on volume intensity:
- Low activity bins are shaded lightly.
- High-volume zones appear more vividly in red (sell) or lime (buy).
- The maximum volume bin in each profile is emphasized with a brighter fill and a volume label.
Extended POC Zones:
The Point of Control (PoC) — the bin with the most volume — is extended backwards across the entire lookback period to mark critical resistance (sell-side) or support (buy-side) levels.
Total Volume Summary Labels:
At the center of each profile, a summary label displays Total Buy Liquidity and Total Sell Liquidity volume.
This metric helps assess directional imbalance — when buy liquidity is dominant, the market may favor upward continuation, and vice versa.
Customizable Profile Granularity:
You can fine-tune both Resolution (Bins) and Offset Distance to adjust how far profiles are displaced from price and how many levels are calculated within the ATR range.
🔵 HOW IT WORKS
The indicator calculates an ATR-based buffer above highs and below lows to define the top and bottom of the liquidity zones.
Using a user-defined lookback period, it scans historical candles and divides the buffered zones into bins.
Each bin checks if bullish (or bearish) candles pass through it based on price wicks and body.
Volume from valid candles is summed into the corresponding bin.
When volume exists in a bin, a horizontal box is drawn with a width scaled by relative volume strength.
The bin with the highest volume is highlighted and optionally extended backward as a zone of importance.
Total buy/sell liquidity is displayed with a summary label at the side of the profile.
🔵 USAGE/b]
Identify Stop Hunt Zones: High-volume clusters near swing highs/lows are likely liquidation zones targeted during fakeouts.
Fade or Follow Reactions: Price hitting a high-volume bin may reverse (fade opportunity) or break with strength (confirmation breakout).
Layer with Other Tools: Combine with market structure, order blocks, or trend filters to validate entries near liquidity.
Adjust Offset for Sensitivity: Use higher offset to simulate wider stop placement; use lower for tighter scalping zones.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Dynamic Liquidity Depth transforms raw price and volume into a spatial map of liquidity. By revealing areas where stop orders are likely hidden, it gives traders insight into price manipulation zones, potential reversal levels, and breakout traps. Whether you're hunting for traps or trading with the flow, this tool equips you to navigate liquidity with precision.
Smart Range DetectorSmart Range Detector
What It Does
This indicator automatically detects and validates significant trading ranges using pivot point analysis combined with logarithmic fibonacci relationships. It operates by identifying specific pivot patterns (High-Low-High and Low-High-Low) that meet fibonacci validation criteria to filter out noise and highlight only the most reliable trading ranges. Each range is continuously monitored for potential mitigation (breakout) events.
Key Features
Identifies both High-Low-High and Low-High-Low range patterns
Validates each range using logarithmic fibonacci relationships (more accurate than linear fibs)
Detects range mitigations (breakouts) and visually differentiates them
Shows fibonacci levels within ranges (25%, 50%, 75%) for potential reversal points
Visualizes extension levels beyond ranges for breakout targets
Analyzes volume profile with customizable price divisions (default: 60)
Displays Point of Control (POC) and Value Area for traded volume analysis
Implements performance optimization with configurable range limits
Includes user-adjustable safety checks to prevent Pine Script limitations
Offers fully customizable colors, line widths, and transparency settings
How To Use It
Identify Valid Ranges : The indicator automatically detects and highlights trading ranges that meet fibonacci validation criteria
Monitor Fibonacci Levels : Watch for price reactions at internal fib levels (25%, 50%, 75%) for potential reversal opportunities
Track Extension Targets : Use the extension lines as potential targets when price breaks out of a range
Analyze Volume Structure : Enable the volume profile mode to see where most volume was traded within mitigated ranges
Trade Range Boundaries : Look for reactions at range highs/lows combined with volume POC for higher probability entries
Manage Performance : Adjust the maximum displayed ranges and history bars settings for optimal chart performance
Settings Guide
Left/Right Bars Look Back : Controls how far back the indicator looks to identify pivot points (higher values find more ranges but may reduce sensitivity)
Max History Bars : Limits how far back in history the indicator will analyze (stays within Pine Script's 10,000 bar limitation)
Max Ranges to Display : Restricts the total number of ranges kept in memory for improved performance (1-50)
Volume Profile : When enabled, shows volume distribution analysis for mitigated ranges
Volume Profile Divisions : Controls the granularity of the volume analysis (higher values show more detail)
Display Options : Toggle visibility of range lines, fibonacci levels, extension lines, and volume analysis elements
Transparency & Color Settings : Fully customize the visual appearance of all indicator elements
Line Width Settings : Adjust the thickness of lines for better visibility on different timeframes
Technical Details
The indicator uses logarithmic fibonacci calculations for more accurate price relationships
Volume profile analysis creates 60 price divisions by default (adjustable) for detailed volume distribution
All timestamps are properly converted to work with Pine Script's bar limitations
Safety checks prevent "array index out of bounds" errors that plague many complex indicators
Time-based coordinates are used instead of bar indices to prevent "bar index too far" errors
This indicator works well on all timeframes and instruments, but performs best on 5-minute to daily charts. Perfect for swing traders, range traders, and breakout strategists.
What Makes It Different
Most range indicators simply draw boxes based on recent highs and lows. Smart Range Detector validates each potential range using proven fibonacci relationships to filter out noise. It then adds sophisticated volume analysis to help traders identify the most significant price levels within each range. The performance optimization features ensure smooth operation even on lower timeframes and extended history analysis.

✅ Best Use Cases
Identifying potential trend shifts when certainty levels change dramatically
Confirming trend strength through consistent certainty levels
Detecting choppy/sideways markets with persistent high uncertainty
Filtering trading signals from other indicators based on certainty levels
Gauging market conviction behind price breakouts or pullbacks
Optimizing entry/exit timing based on certainty/uncertainty transitions
⚠️ Limitations
Does not predict future price direction, only measures current bar certainty
May provide false signals during news events or unexpected volatility spikes
Requires context within the broader market environment for optimal interpretation
Color interpretation is relative rather than absolute across different securities
ATR-based calculation means sensitivity varies across different timeframes
💡 What Makes This Unique
Simplicity: Single visual indicator that doesn’t require multiple technical tools
Adaptability: Automatically adjusts to changing market volatility conditions
Contextual Analysis: Provides market conviction context beyond just price movement
Intuitive Design: Color-based system that requires minimal learning curve
Efficiency: Lightweight calculation that doesn’t impact chart performance
🔬 How It Works
1. ATR Calculation:
Calculates the Average True Range using the specified period
Establishes a baseline for normal market volatility
2. Range Analysis:
Measures each bar’s high-low range
Compares this range to the current ATR value to create a ratio
3. Gradient Mapping:
Converts the Range/ATR ratio to a normalized value between 0 and 1
Maps this value onto a color gradient between the start and end colors
Applies the resulting color to the price bar
4. Dashboard Creation:
Constructs an information panel on the last visible bar
Populates it with color samples and interpretation guidance
💡 Note:
This indicator works best when used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools rather than in isolation. The certainty/uncertainty measure provides context for your trading decisions but should not be the sole basis for entries and exits. Consider using higher certainty periods for trend-following strategies and exercise caution during periods of high uncertainty.
D3m4h GIFVGDescription
D3m4h GIFVG is an indicator designed to automatically detect market imbalances—often referred to as FVGs (Fair Value Gaps)—and potential pivot-based shifts in market structure. It offers a dynamic approach to visualizing supply/demand inefficiencies and pivot-based trend changes. Key features include:
1. Pivot-Based Bullish/Bearish Detection
The indicator identifies higher-high/lower-low pivot logic as well as “outside bar” pivots.
It tracks when the market transitions from bullish to bearish ranges, or vice versa, by using multiple checks:
Pivot low/high detection
Break-of-structure (when price crosses the last pivot)
Opposing FVG detection to confirm an intraday pivot shift
2. FVG (Fair Value Gap) Detection
The script automatically scans for bullish or bearish FVG conditions:
Bullish FVG: Candle at position (bar_index - 2) has a high below the current candle’s low.
Bearish FVG: Candle at position (bar_index - 2) has a low above the current candle’s high.
When it detects an FVG, it draws a box on the chart to highlight the price gap (yellow boxes by default).
3. Pivot Range FVG
If an FVG forms while the market is in a bullish pivot range, the script can paint a special “blue” FVG to underscore its significance. The same logic applies if a newly formed FVG appears in a bearish pivot range.
4. Filled Gap Cleanup
You can optionally hide standard FVG boxes once they’re filled. For example, if the candle’s body (or candle range) covers that gap, the box is removed to keep your chart clean.
5. Pivot-Range FVG “Raided” Cleanup
If the pivot-based FVG is later filled from the opposing direction, it turns green and can optionally remove itself after a set number of bars.
6. Informative Table
A small table on the chart optionally displays whether or not the pivot-based FVG has been “raided”. You can toggle this table on/off in the settings.
How It Works
1. Pivot Shifts
The script tracks the last pivot high/low using a combination of candle-based pivot detection and break-of-structure checks (when price crosses the last pivot in the opposite direction).
When a shift is detected, the pivot range ID increments—this helps the script know when to remove old pivot-based FVGs or draw new ones.
2. FVG Formation
Each new bar checks if a bullish or bearish FVG formed (comparing the high of bar two bars ago to the current low, or the low of bar two bars ago to the current high).
If one is found, a box is drawn to highlight the imbalance. Its color and extension depend on script settings.
3. Imbalance or Pivot FVG
Standard imbalance boxes appear in yellow.
If the new imbalance coincides with a bullish or bearish pivot range, a special “pivot imbalance” box in blue is drawn.
3. Hide Filled
If a newly formed candle’s body fully covers the FVG, the box is considered filled. If Hide Filled Gaps is enabled, the box is deleted once it’s covered.
4. Raid Status
For the pivot-based (blue) FVG, once price invalidates it from the opposite side, it changes color to green and gets removed after a user-defined number of bars.
How to Use
1. Look for FVGs
Observe yellow boxes to identify potential intraday imbalances. Watch for price returning to fill these zones.
If you see a “blue” box, it signifies a pivot-based FVG in line with a recognized shift in structure—arguably a higher-probability zone.
2. “Hide Filled Gaps”
Turn this on if you only want to see currently active or partially filled imbalances. The script cleans up old, fully covered boxes to keep your chart neat.
3. Pivot Shifts
Note the script’s internal pivot logic. Each new pivot re-defines bullish or bearish states. Use these states to gauge the short-term trend shifts.
4. Toggle the Table
You can show or hide the chart table by enabling/disabling “Show Table” from the inputs. This table indicates if the pivot-based “GIFVG” has been “raided” or not.
5. Extend Count
Adjust the extendCount in the code if you want FVG boxes to extend further or shorter in time.
Underlying Concepts
Fair Value Gaps
Market inefficiencies that occur when price jumps, leaving a “gap” from the candle 2 bars ago to the current candle. They can act like mini supply/demand zones where price may revisit for balance.
Pivot Ranges
The script tries to maintain an internal sense of whether the market is in a bullish or bearish pivot range. When it sees a contrary FVG or break-of-structure, it flips the pivot state.
Outside Bars
A candle that has both a higher high and a lower low than the previous bar. The script uses these to mark significant pivot shifts.
By combining pivot-based logic with FVG detection, the D3m4h GIFVG indicator helps highlight potential areas of liquidity or unfilled value. Traders can use these zones to plan entries/exits or to confirm short-term trend shifts.

Smarter Money Concepts - FVGs [PhenLabs]📊 Smarter Money Concepts - FVGs
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
Smarter Money Concepts - FVGs is a sophisticated indicator designed to identify and track Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) in price action. These gaps represent market inefficiencies where price moves quickly, creating imbalances that often attract subsequent price action for mitigation. By highlighting these key areas, traders can identify potential zones for reversals, continuations, and price targets.
The indicator employs volume filtering ideology to highlight only the most significant FVGs, reducing noise and focusing on gaps formed during periods of higher relative volume. This combination of price structure analysis and volume confirmation provides traders with high-probability areas of interest that institutional smart money may target during future price movements.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Volume-Filtered Gap Detection : Eliminates low-significance FVGs by requiring a minimum volume threshold, focusing only on gaps formed with institutional participation
Equilibrium Line Visualization : Displays the midpoint of each gap as a potential precision target for trades
Automated Gap Mitigation Tracking : Monitors when price revisits and mitigates gaps, automatically managing visual elements
Time-Based Gap Management : Intelligently filters gaps based on a configurable timeframe, maintaining chart clarity
Dual Direction Analysis : Simultaneously tracks both bullish and bearish gaps, providing a complete market structure view
Memory-Optimized Design : Implements efficient memory management for smooth chart performance even with numerous FVGs
🔧 Core Components
Fair Value Gap Detection : Identifies price inefficiencies where the current candle’s low is higher than the previous candle’s high (bearish FVG) or where the current candle’s high is lower than the previous candle’s low (bullish FVG).
Volume Filtering Mechanism : Calculates relative volume compared to a moving average to qualify only gaps formed during significant market activity.
Mitigation Tracking : Continuously monitors price action to detect when gaps get filled, with options to either hide or maintain visual representation of mitigated gaps.
🔥 Key Features
Customizable Gap Display : Toggle visibility of bullish and bearish gaps independently to focus on your preferred market direction
Volume Threshold Control : Adjust the minimum volume ratio required for gap qualification, allowing fine-tuning between sensitivity and significance
Flexible Mitigation Methods : Choose between “Wick” or “Close” methods for determining when a gap has been mitigated, adapting to different trading styles
Visual Customization : Full control over colors, transparency, and style of gap boxes and equilibrium lines
🎨 Visualization
Gap Boxes : Rectangular highlights showing the exact price range of each Fair Value Gap. Bullish gaps indicate potential upward price targets, while bearish gaps show potential downward targets.
Equilibrium Lines : Dotted lines running through the center of each gap, representing the mathematical midpoint that often serves as a precision target for price movement.
📖 Usage Guidelines
General Settings
Days to Analyze : Default: 15, Range: 1-100. Controls how many days of historical gaps to display, balancing between comprehensive analysis and chart clarity
Visual Settings
Bull Color : Default:(#596fd33f). Color for bullish Fair Value Gaps, typically using high transparency for clear chart visibility
Bear Color : Default:(#d3454575). Color for bearish Fair Value Gaps, typically using high transparency for clear chart visibility
Equilibrium Line : Default: Enabled. Toggles visibility of the center equilibrium line for each FVG
Eq. Line Color : Default: Black with 99% transparency. Sets the color of equilibrium lines, usually kept subtle to avoid chart clutter
Eq. Line Style : Default: Dotted, Options: Dotted, Solid, Dashed. Determines the line style for equilibrium lines
Mitigation Settings
Mitigation Method : Default: Wick, Options: Wick, Close. Determines how gap mitigation is calculated - “Wick” uses high/low values while “Close” uses open/close values for more conservative mitigation criteria
Hide Mitigated : Default: Enabled. When enabled, gaps become transparent once mitigated, reducing visual clutter while maintaining historical context
Volume Filter
Volume Filter : Default: Enabled. When enabled, only shows gaps formed with significant volume relative to recent average
Min Ratio : Default: 1.5, Range: 0.1-10.0. Minimum volume ratio compared to average required to display an FVG; higher values filter out more gaps
Periods : Default: 15, Range: 5-50. Number of periods used to calculate the average volume baseline
✅ Best Use Cases
Identifying potential reversal zones where price may react after extended moves
Finding precise targets for take-profit placement in trend-following strategies
Detecting institutional interest areas for potential breakout or breakdown confirmations
Plotting significant support and resistance zones based on structural imbalances
Developing fade strategies at key market structure points
Confirming trade entries when price approaches significant unfilled gaps
⚠️ Limitations
Works best on higher timeframes where gaps reflect more significant market inefficiencies
Very choppy or ranging markets may produce small gaps with limited predictive value
Volume filtering depends on accurate volume data, which may be less reliable for some symbols
Performance may be affected when displaying a very large number of historical gaps
Some gaps may never be fully mitigated, particularly in strongly trending markets
💡 What Makes This Unique
Volume Intelligence : Unlike basic FVG indicators, this script incorporates volume analysis to identify the most significant structural imbalances, focusing on quality over quantity.
Visual Clarity Management : Automatic handling of mitigated gaps and memory management ensures your chart remains clean and informative even over extended analysis periods.
Dual-Direction Comprehensive Analysis : Simultaneously tracks both bullish and bearish gaps, providing a complete market structure picture rather than forcing a directional bias.
🔬 How It Works
1. Gap Detection Process :
The indicator examines each candle in relation to previous candles, identifying when a gap forms between the low of candle and high of candle (bearish FVG) or between the high of candle and low of candle (bullish FVG). This specific candle relationship identifies true structural imbalances.
2. Volume Qualification :
For each potential gap, the algorithm calculates the relative volume compared to the configured period average. Only gaps formed with volume exceeding the minimum ratio threshold are displayed, ensuring focus on institutionally significant imbalances.
3. Equilibrium Calculation :
For each qualified gap, the script calculates the precise mathematical midpoint, which becomes the equilibrium line - a key target that price often gravitates toward during mitigation attempts.
4. Mitigation Tracking :
The indicator continuously monitors price action against existing gaps, determining mitigation based on the selected method (wick or close). When price reaches the equilibrium point, the gap is considered mitigated and can be visually updated accordingly.
💡 Note:
Fair Value Gaps represent market inefficiencies that often, but not always, get filled. Use this indicator as part of a complete trading strategy rather than as a standalone system. The most valuable signals typically come from combining FVG analysis with other confirmatory indicators and overall market context. For optimal results, start with the default settings and gradually adjust parameters to match your specific trading timeframe and style.
02 SMC + BB Breakout (Improved)This strategy combines Smart Money Concepts (SMC) with Bollinger Band breakouts to identify potential trading opportunities. SMC focuses on identifying key price levels and market structure shifts, while Bollinger Bands help pinpoint overbought/oversold conditions and potential breakout points. The strategy also incorporates higher timeframe trend confirmation to filter out trades that go against the prevailing trend.
Key Components:
Bollinger Bands:
Calculated using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the closing price and a standard deviation multiplier.
The strategy uses the upper and lower bands to identify potential breakout points.
The SMA (basis) acts as a centerline and potential support/resistance level.
The fill between the upper and lower bands can be toggled by the user.
Higher Timeframe Trend Confirmation:
The strategy allows for optional confirmation of the current trend using a higher timeframe (e.g., daily).
It calculates the SMA of the higher timeframe's closing prices.
A bullish trend is confirmed if the higher timeframe's closing price is above its SMA.
This helps filter out trades that go against the prevailing long-term trend.
Smart Money Concepts (SMC):
Order Blocks:
Simplified as recent price clusters, identified by the highest high and lowest low over a specified lookback period.
These levels are considered potential areas of support or resistance.
Liquidity Zones (Swing Highs/Lows):
Identified by recent swing highs and lows, indicating areas where liquidity may be present.
The Swing highs and lows are calculated based on user defined lookback periods.
Market Structure Shift (MSS):
Identifies potential changes in market structure.
A bullish MSS occurs when the closing price breaks above a previous swing high.
A bearish MSS occurs when the closing price breaks below a previous swing low.
The swing high and low values used for the MSS are calculated based on the user defined swing length.
Entry Conditions:
Long Entry:
The closing price crosses above the upper Bollinger Band.
If higher timeframe confirmation is enabled, the higher timeframe trend must be bullish.
A bullish MSS must have occurred.
Short Entry:
The closing price crosses below the lower Bollinger Band.
If higher timeframe confirmation is enabled, the higher timeframe trend must be bearish.
A bearish MSS must have occurred.
Exit Conditions:
Long Exit:
The closing price crosses below the Bollinger Band basis.
Or the Closing price falls below 99% of the order block low.
Short Exit:
The closing price crosses above the Bollinger Band basis.
Or the closing price rises above 101% of the order block high.
Position Sizing:
The strategy calculates the position size based on a fixed percentage (5%) of the strategy's equity.
This helps manage risk by limiting the potential loss per trade.
Visualizations:
Bollinger Bands (upper, lower, and basis) are plotted on the chart.
SMC elements (order blocks, swing highs/lows) are plotted as lines, with user-adjustable visibility.
Entry and exit signals are plotted as shapes on the chart.
The Bollinger band fill opacity is adjustable by the user.
Trading Logic:
The strategy aims to capitalize on Bollinger Band breakouts that are confirmed by SMC signals and higher timeframe trend. It looks for breakouts that align with potential market structure shifts and key price levels (order blocks, swing highs/lows). The higher timeframe filter helps avoid trades that go against the overall trend.
In essence, the strategy attempts to identify high-probability breakout trades by combining momentum (Bollinger Bands) with structural analysis (SMC) and trend confirmation.
Key User-Adjustable Parameters:
Bollinger Bands Length
Standard Deviation Multiplier
Higher Timeframe
Higher Timeframe Confirmation (on/off)
SMC Elements Visibility (on/off)
Order block lookback length.
Swing lookback length.
Bollinger band fill opacity.

MACD Highs and Lows - Dynamic Support & ResistanceDescription:
Enhance your trading strategy with the MACD Highs and Lows indicator, designed to identify dynamic support and resistance levels based on MACD crossovers. This tool plots key price levels triggered by shifts in MACD momentum, helping traders spot potential reversal zones, breakout points, and trend confirmation signals.
Key Features
Dynamic Levels: Automatically plots recent highs/lows when MACD crosses above/below the zero line.
Customizable MACD Parameters:
Adjustable fast/slow lengths (default: 12/26).
Choose between SMA or EMA for oscillator/signal line.
Flexible signal smoothing (1-50 periods).
Visual Clarity:
Clear green/red lines for highs and lows.
Tracks both price extremes and adjacent candle levels (e.g., high-of-low-bar, low-of-high-bar).
Multi-Timeframe Utility: Works across charts for swing trading, scalping, or trend analysis.
How It Works

[SHORT ONLY] 10 Bar Low Pullback█ STRATEGY DESCRIPTION
The "10 Bar Low Pullback" strategy is a contrarian short trading system designed to capture pullbacks after a new 10‐bar low is made. it identifies a potential short opportunity when the current bar’s low breaks below the lowest low of the previous 10 bars, provided that the bar exhibits strong internal momentum as measured by its IBS value. An optional trend filter further refines entries by requiring that the close is below a 200-period EMA.
█ WHAT IS INTERNAL BAR STRENGTH (IBS)?
Internal Bar Strength (IBS) measures where the closing price falls within the high-low range of a bar. It is calculated as:
ibs = (close - low) / (high - low)
- Low IBS (≤ 0.2): Indicates the close is near the bar's low, suggesting oversold conditions.
- High IBS (≥ 0.8): Indicates the close is near the bar's high, suggesting overbought conditions.
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. SHORT ENTRY
A Short Signal is triggered when:
The current bar’s low is below the lowest low of the past X bars (default: 10).
The bar’s IBS is greater than the specified threshold (default: 0.85).
The signal occurs within the defined trading window (between Start Time and End Time).
If the EMA Filter is enabled, the close must be below the 200-period EMA.
2. EXIT CONDITION
An exit Signal is generated when the current close falls below the previous bar’s low (close < low ), indicating a potential bearish reversal and prompting the strategy to close its short position.
█ ADDITIONAL SETTINGS
Lookback Period: Defines the number of bars (default is 10) over which the lowest low is calculated.
IBS Threshold: Sets the minimum required IBS value (default is 0.85) to qualify as a pullback.
Trading Window: Trades are only executed between the user-defined Start Time and End Time.
EMA Filter (Optional): When enabled, short entries are only considered if the current close is below the 200-period EMA, with the EMA period being adjustable (default is 200).
█ PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
Designed for shorting opportunities, this strategy aims to capture pullbacks following an aggressive 10-bar low break.
It leverages a combination of a lookback low and IBS measurement to identify overextended bullish moves that may revert.
The optional EMA filter helps confirm a bearish market environment by ensuring the price remains under the trend line.
Suitable for use on various assets, including stocks and ETFs, on daily or similar timeframes.
Backtesting and parameter optimization are recommended to tailor the strategy to specific market conditions.
