Daye Quarterly Theory by toodegrees> Introduction and Acknowledgements
The Daye Quarterly Theory° tool encompasses the cyclical Time aspect of the markets as studied and developed by Daye (traderdaye on Twitter).
I am not the creator of this Theory, and I do not hold the answers to all the questions you may have; I suggest you to study it from Daye's tweets and material.
I collaborated directly with Daye to bring a comprehensive Time tool to Tradingview.
S/O to @a1tmaniac and @joshuuu for their previous works on this Theory.
> Tool Description
This is purely a graphical aid for traders to be able to quickly determine Daye's Quarterly Cycles, and save Time while on the charts.
The disruptive value of this tool is that it reliably plots forwards in Time, allowing you to strategize and tape read efficiently; as well as calculating all the Cycles, from Micro Sessions, to the Year.
> Quarterly Theory by Daye
The underlying idea is that Time is to be divided in Quarters for correct interpretation of Market Cycles. The specific starting point of a Cycle will depend on the Timeframe at hand.
Daye being one of the most prominent Inner Circle Trader students, these ideas stem from ICT's concepts themselves, and are to be used hand in hand (PD Array Matrix, PO3, Institutional Price Levels, ...).
These Quarters represent:
A - Accumulation (required for a cycle to occur)
M - Manipulation
D - Distribution
X - Reversal/Continuation
The latter are going to always be in this specific sequence; however the cycle can be transposed to have its beginning in X, trivially followed by A, M, and finally D.
This feature is not automatic and at the subjective discretion of the Analyst.
Note: this theory has been developed on Futures, hence its validity and reliability may change depending on the market Time.
This tool does provide a dynamic and auto-adapting aspect to different market types and Times, however they must be seen as experimental.
> Quarterly Cycles
The Quarterly Cycles currently supported are: Yearly, Monthly, Weekly, Daily, 90 Minute, Micro Sessions.
– Yearly Cycle:
Analogously to financial quarters, the year is divided in four sections of three months each
Q1 - January, February, March
Q2 - April, May, June (True Open, April Open)
Q3 - July, August, September
Q4 - October, November, December
Note: this Cycle is the most difficult to optimize as Timeframes become more granular due to the sheer length of its duration. With Time and advancements it will become more accurate. This is the only Cycle for which accuracy is not 100%.
– Monthly Cycle:
Considering that we have four weeks in a month, we start the cycle on the first month’s Monday (regardless of the calendar Day).
Q1 - Week 1, first Monday of the month
Q2 - Week 2, second Monday of the month (True Open, Daily Candle Open Price)
Q3 - Week 3, third Monday of the month
Q4 - Week 4, fourth Monday of the month
– Weekly Cycle:
Daye determined that although the trading week is composed by 5 trading days, we should ignore Friday, and the small portion of Sunday’s price action.
Q1 - Monday
Q2 - Tuesday (True Open, Daily Candle Open Price)
Q3 - Wednesday
Q4 - Thursday
– Daily Cycle:
The Day can be broken down into 6H quarters. These Times roughly define the sessions of the Trading Day, reinforcing the Theory’s validity.
Q1 - 18:00 - 00:00, Asian Session
Q2 - 00:00 - 06:00, London Session (True Open, Midnight New York Time)
Q3 - 06:00 - 12:00, NY Session
Q4 - 12:00 - 18:00, PM Session
Note: these Times are based on Futures Trading in New York Time, these will vary depending on the market type (experimental).
– 90 Minute Cycle:
Merely dividing one of the Daily Cycle’s Quarters we obtain 90 minute quarters. The first one in a Trading Day – 90min Cycles of the Asian Session – follows as an example, in New York Time.
Q1 - 18:00 - 19:30
Q2 - 19:30 - 21:00 (True Open)
Q3 - 21:00 - 22:30
Q4 - 22:30 - 00:00
– Micro Cycle:
Lastly, dividing a 90 Minute Cycle yields 22.5 Minute Quarters, known as Micro Sessions. An example breaking down the 90 Minute Cycle from 18:00 to 19:30 follows.
Q1 - 18:00 - 18:22:30
Q2 - 18:22:30 - 18:45 (True Open)
Q3 - 18:45 - 19:07:30
Q4 - 19:07:30 - 19:30
Note: trivially, these may not be exact unless the Timeframe is in the seconds, to correctly account for the half minute in each quarter – this said the tool is able to plot these anyways, although slight inaccuracy needs to be taken account depending on the Timeframe.
It is important to remember and be aware that the current chart’s Timeframe will heavily impact the plotted Time Cycles. This tool is in its initial form and it will be improved and adapted as traders start using it on a daily basis.
> Tool Settings
Plot Settings:
"Plot Type" will allow you to decide how the Cycles will be displayed. Out of the box the tool will be plotted on a separate pane, at the bottom of the chart; you can decide the orientation of the cycles from longest cycle at the bottom (Bottom Pane), or top (Top Pane). Alternatively you can move the tool to the chart and have the cycles plot on price (Move To -> Existing Pane Above), specifically above price (Top), or below (Bottom). The cycles will auto adjust their position based on the visible price action.
"Historical Cycles" will show previous Historical Cycles, up to where available in terms of script memory.
"Plot Size" will allow you to vary the height of the Cycle’s boxes
"Show Labels" will give you an auto-adapting legend which will help you determine which Cycle is which if you get lost.
The remaining Settings are self explanatory, allowing you to change colors, and choose which Cycles to see.
The source of the code is hidden due to the use of private libraries of mine. Happy to answer any questions in terms of code, where I will not be able to divulge any detail that concerns said libraries. Thank you for understanding!
Major thanks to Daye for his Time and Knowledge, it was a pleasure to collaborate and work together on this tool.
GLGT!
first fvg @joshuuuThis indicator was created to display and alert the user for the first Fair Value Gap (FVG) of up to three trading sessions.
Bullish FVG occurs when the high of the first candle is lower than the low of the third candle, resulting in a price gap between them.
Conversely, a Bearish FVG takes place when the low of the first candle is higher than the high of the third candle, leading to a gap between these prices.
ICT emphasizes on three crucial timeframes: 3-4 am NY, 10-11 am NY, and 2-3 pm NY, collectively referred to as the 'silver bullet' times. The very first FVG formed during these periods can significantly impact the remainder of that trading session.
Building upon these concepts, CasperSMC developed a strategy involving buying/selling the very first FVG and placing a stop order just above/below the candle responsible for creating the FVG.
The strategy aims for a consistent 2-to-1 Reward-to-Risk ratio (2RR).
This indicator serves to support the strategy by not only displaying those fvgs but also sending alerts, reducing the need for constant screen monitoring.
daily bias @ttrades x joshuuuDaily bias is one of the most powerful tools when it comes to intraday trading.
Ttrades published a youtube video, in which he showcases his mechanical way of determing the daily bias based on ICTs and the MMXM Traders Teachings.
This indicator is based on those concepts.
The rules for this indicator are simple.
scenario 1 - first line of table
Close above previous days high gives a bullish bias.
Close below previous days low gives a bearish bias.
scenario 2 - second line of the table
Wick below previous days low and close within previous days body or above gives a bullish bias.
Wick above previous days high and close within previous days body or below gives a bearish bias.
"Bullish" bias is valid until previous daily high (pdh) is reached.
"Bearish" bias is valid until previous daily low (pdl) is reached.
If none of the above mentioned conditions is met OR the target (pdh/pdl) is reached, the bias is set to "Neutral".
On the daily timeframe, probabilities are visible on the table to reach pdh when the bias is "Bullish" or to reach pdl when the bias is "Bearish".
If the bias is bullish, the ideal buy would be below ny midnights opening price.
If the bias is bearish, the ideal sell would be above the ny midnights opening price.
Range Deviations @joshuuuThis indicator is able to show ranges, the equlibrium (50%) and range deviations.
It has four pre-defined options and one custom version.
Asia (2000-0000) ny time
CBDR(1400-2000) ny time
Flout(1400-0000) ny time
ONS (OverNightSession)(0400-0800) chicago time
Custom (you can choose the times)
ICT (Inner Circle Traders) teaches, that those range deviations of asia,cbdr,flout can be used to find the daily high/low.
TCM (The Currency Merchant) teaches, that a move out of the range often is a false move to trap traders into the wrong direction.
Market Structure & Price Action Toolkit (Expo)█ Overview
This comprehensive Market Structure and Price Action toolkit integrates pioneering price action concepts, including fractal-based market structure, grid-price action system, retail and institutional levels/zones, liquidity concepts, and a plethora of advanced customization options to give you a trading advantage via price action automatically. Different from traditional technical indicators, which can be lagging, complex, and cluttered, this indicator focuses solely on raw price data to deliver accurate and real-time insights. All the features in this script originate exclusively from price action, concentrating on fractals-based swing highs, swing lows, and market structure. This enables users to automate their price action analysis across any market or timeframe.
The toolkit focuses on the real-time application of price data rather than historical data to ensure its usefulness for price action and smart money (ICT) traders. With this indicator, users can automate their price action analysis across various markets and timeframes, gaining a significant edge in their trading strategies.
█ Features and How They Work
█ Trading Systems
Market Structure:
Market Structure deals with the interpretation of price action that forms the market structure, focusing on understanding key shifts and changes in the market that may indicate where 'smart money' (large institutional investors and professional traders) might be moving in the market. This feature is based on real-time fractals instead of static pivot points. Fractals are based on the idea that markets are patterned, and those patterns repeat themselves on all scales – hence, the term "fractal", which means "fraction of the whole". The function uses fractal zones that refer to areas where the price is likely to experience a change in direction. These zones are identified by observing a series of fractal points.
Grid:
The grid system works similarly to the market structure but displays the data as a grid of support and resistance zones. This is a new and unique approach to understanding market structure. It might be a more convenient way for traders to understand how to act.
█ Retail Zones
Support/Resistance:
Support and Resistance zone are often seen and displayed with a delay. This feature is 100% real-time and displays SR levels as the price reacts and forms new highs and lows.
Confirmed Support/Resistance:
As the name suggests, the confirmed zone is first displayed on the chart when the price has reacted to a high/low formation over x period of time. This feature is handy to trade retest after breakouts of the zone.
We wanted to keep the retail zones simple regarding how they work and function to help all kinds of traders understand how to use them.
█ Institutional Zones
Supply/Demand:
Calculating supply and demand in its raw form is challenging due to the complexity and dynamism of financial markets. However, the function uses several concepts to gauge supply and demand levels.
Buying and Selling pressure: The buying pressure represents the highest price point (over x period and volume), while the selling pressure price represents the lowest price point (over x period and volume). The gap between the two is known as the buying/selling pressure spread. A narrow spread often signifies high liquidity and balanced supply and demand, while a wider spread might indicate imbalances.
Price Trends: Upward price movements indicate higher demand, while downward trends may suggest increased supply.
Order blocks:
Order blocks are similar to supply/demand, and the main difference is that an order block is created at specific price action and market structure patterns.

█ Why Use Price Action and Market Structure
A comprehensive trading strategy often involves using both price action and market structure. Traders can use price action to understand the immediate behavior of the price and market structure to understand the broader context within which the price is moving.
Market Structure combined with Price Action refers to the observable pattern of price movement. Traders use this structure to identify trend direction (up, down, or sideways), market phase (trend or range), and key price levels (like support and resistance).
Here are some core concepts within price action trading:
Trend Identification: This is a fundamental aspect of price action trading. By simply looking at the raw price data on a chart, traders can identify whether the instrument is in an uptrend (making higher highs and higher lows), a downtrend (making lower highs and lower lows), or ranging sideways.
Support and Resistance Levels: These are horizontal lines drawn on a chart where the price has historically had difficulty moving beyond. Support is a price level where buying pressure is strong enough to prevent the price from falling further, while resistance is a level where selling pressure is strong enough to prevent further price increases.
Candlestick Patterns: Price action traders rely heavily on candlestick patterns, which can provide a lot of information about market sentiment.
Chart Patterns: In addition to individual candlestick patterns, price action traders often look for larger chart patterns like double tops/bottoms, triangles, wedges, head and shoulders patterns, and more. These patterns can take longer to form but can also provide insight into potential price movement.
Price Zones: Rather than exact price levels, many price action traders consider zones of support and resistance, understanding that market behavior isn't always perfectly precise. A zone might cover a small range of prices at which the market has repeatedly reversed in the past.
The idea behind price action trading is that the price itself can provide clues to what the market might do next. Traders who follow this approach believe that price is the final determinant of value and contains all the information needed.
█ Any Alert Function Call
This function allows traders to combine any feature and create customized alerts. These alerts can be set for various conditions and customized according to the trader's strategy or preferences.
█ In conclusion, This toolkit is particularly useful for price action and smart money traders, as it prioritizes real-time application of price data, which in turn allows a more responsive and informed decision-making process in trading.

Correlation index and liquidityAn indicator with which you can easily compare any ticker with the ones offered.
You can choose any of the tags that are offered in the options
You can also create your own ticker if you select the Custom in Mode option.
If the comparison mode is enabled, the current ticker you are viewing is divided by the ticker selected in the indicator.
For example, if you have the EURUSD ticker open. And the EURUSD indicator is selected in the option in the indicator. Then you will get the EURUSD correlation index with other currency pairs that are correlated, for example GBPUSD+NZDUSD+AUDUSD. This means that you can now see the common index of those three pairs in relation to the EURUSD.
Custom index for major currency, example GBP have index of GBPUSD+GBPAUD+GBPJPY+GBPNZD+GBPCHF. This means that you can now see the common index of those pairs in relation to the GBP.
This script is unique because it requires the optimal combination of pairs needed for each pair specifically, which I came to during many years of studying the forex market so the source code of the script have to remain hidden.
If you are a beginerr, you can just apply simple trend-breakout strategy after you spot the divergence.
For advanced traders, you can use this together with ICT's and SMC concepts as a confirmation upon your entry.
Please comment if you like it!
CRYPTO DIVERGENCE FINDERThis indicator allows you to easily compare any ticker you're looking at with the ones I've found to work best over many years of studying the crypto market. For these reasons, the code of the script is hidden because that is exactly what makes it unique.
You can choose any cryptocurrency, but I recommend using only perpetuals on 'BINANCE' exchange.
If the comparison mode is enabled, the current ticker you are viewing is divided by the ticker selected in the indicator.
For example, if you are watching "SOLUSDT.P" you should open the settings of the indicator and write "SOLUSDT.P" in the ticker field. Then you will get the SOLUSDT.P correlation index with other crypto and currency pairs that are correlated (like I already said this is something that is product of many years of studying this market and this is exactly what is unique about the code so the source of the script have to stay protected).
If you are a beginer, you can just apply simple trend-breakout strategy after you spot the divergence.
For advanced traders, you can use this together with ICT's and SMC concepts as a confirmation upon your entry.
TGIF StatsTGIF - "Thank God it's Friday"
After a heavily bearish week (tuesday, wednesday and thursday) price sometimes looks for some retracement on fridays. Vice versa for bullish weeks.
This script shows how often that specific scenario happens and displays that data in a table.
The user has the option to input a starting year for the statistic and is able to filter between bearish or bullish weeks.
*disclaimer : if paired with a higher timeframe pd array taught by ICT the stats should be better, that's not included in the code though*

Session Open PriceThis Indicator displays the ICT kill zones' open price
You will be able to see the following open prices (ALL TIMES ARE IN NEW YORK TIME)
All times and appearances are customisable to your own liking.
The default time setting is recommended
- 00:00 AM Midnight New York Open Price (RED DASH LINE)
- 2:00 AM Frankfurt Open Price (GREEN DASH LINE)
- 3:00 AM London Open Price (BLUE DASH LINE)
- 8:30 AM New York Open Price (ORANGE DASH LINE)
HOW TO USE SESSION OPEN PRICE IN YOUR TRADING
If the price is above the opening price you only look for sells whereas if the price is under the opening price you only look for buys
BUY EXAMPLE
Wait for Midnight New York and Frankfurt open price to display
The price must be under both prices
Look for a Market maker buy model or your own entry model
Stoploss will be at the swing low and Take profit can be a fixed RR or how you calculate your take profit level
FVG Sessions [LuxAlgo]The FVG Sessions indicator highlights the first fair value gap of the trading session as well as the session range. Detected fair value gaps extend to the end of the trading session.
Alerts are included on the formation of a session fair value gap, price being within a session fair value gap, mitigations, and price crossing session fair value gaps average.
🔶 USAGE
Trader ICT states that the first fair value gap of the trading session can attract the most significant reaction. Having only one FVG per session allows users to further focus on that precise imbalance as well as external elements.
The mitigation of a fair value gap is clearly indicated on the chart with a more transparent color allowing users to see inverse FVGs.
Extending the fair value gaps allows the imbalance area to provide potential support and resistance.
Do note that this script should be used on intraday charts.
🔶 ALERTS
The script includes the following alerts:
🔹 Bullish/Bearish FVG
Alerts on the formation of the first bullish or bearish FVG of the session.
🔹 Bullish/Bearish FVG Mitigation
Alerts when the first bullish or bearish FVG of the session is mitigated.
🔹 Price Within FVG
Alerts when price is within the first bullish or bearish FVG area of the session.
🔹 Price Cross FVG Average
Alerts when price cross the average level of the first bullish or bearish FVG of the session.
Breaker Blocks with Signals [LuxAlgo]The Breaker Blocks with Signals indicator aims to highlight a complete methodology based on breaker blocks. Breakout signals between the price and breaker blocks are highlighted and premium/discount swing levels are included to provide potential take profit/stop loss levels.
This script also includes alerts for each signal highlighted.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Breaker Blocks
Length: Sensitivity of the detected swings used to construct breaker blocks. Higher values will return longer term breaker blocks.
Use only candle body: Only use the candle body when determining the maximum/minimum extremities of the order blocks.
Use 2 candles instead of 1: Use two candles to confirm the occurrence of a breaker block.
Stop at first break of center line: Do not highlight breakout signals after invalidation until reset.
🔹 PD Array
Only when E is in premium/discount zone: Only set breaker block if point E of wave ABCDE is within the corresponding zone.
Show premium discount zone: Show premium/discount zone.
Highlight Swing Break: Highlight occurrences of price breaking a previous swing level.
Show Swings/PD Arrays: Show swing levels/labels and pd areas.
🔶 USAGE
The Breaker Blocks with Signals indicator aims to provide users with a minimalistic display alongside optimal signals to be aware of for finding trade setups as shown below.
Here we can see a MSS occurred allowing the indicator to detect a Breaker Block (-BB) & display a red arrow to confirm this signal.
The signal(s) that can be used for potential entries are only during retests of the breaker blocks.
A potential strategy traders could use with this indicator is to target the corresponding Discount PD Arrays detected (for a short position) and Premium PD Arrays (for a long position).
In the image above we can see price generated the potential entry signals in orange & fell to the Discount PD Arrays as a logical setup to look for with this indicator.
As we can see in the image above, signals can be considered invalid when price closes above the 50% level in which it would be suggested to wait for another setup.
Users still looking for more potential setups based on the same breaker block can disable the "Stop at first break of center line" setting within the settings menu.
In the image above we can see a bullish example whereas price confirmed a bullish breaker block (+BB), had a quick pullback into it that was confirmed by the green arrow, and then reached the Premium PD Arrays.
While retests of breaker blocks can still function well if they occur later in the price action, it's most preferable for users to look for entry signals that are near confirmed breaker blocks (5-10 bars) opposed to waiting 20+ bars.
Additional take profits based on the occurence of the breaker blocks are given in order to provide targets after the occurence of a breaker block breakout.
🔶 DETAILS
Breaker blocks are formed after a mitigated order block, these can provide change of polarity opportunities, thus playing a role as a potential support/resistance. It is the re-test/retrace of price to a breaker block that will set the conditions to provide signals.
The above chart describes the creation of a breaker block.
The signal generation logic makes use of various rules described below:
Bullish Breaker Blocks:
opening price is within the breaker block, while the closing price is above the upper extremity of the breaker block.
Price did not cross the breaker block average in the interval since the previous breakout.
Bearish Breaker Blocks:
opening price is within the breaker block, while the closing price is below the lower extremity of the breaker block.
Price did not cross the breaker block average in the interval since the previous breakout.
When a new pattern is formed, all previous drawings are removed.
🔶 RELATED SCRIPTS

HTF Power of Three° [Pro+] by toodegreesDescription:
Power of Three ( PO3 ) is one of the many concepts introduced by the Inner Circle Trader , and inspired by Larry Williams .
The PO3 represents a three staged Smart Money campaign: Accumulation , Manipulation , and Distribution ( AMD ).
This tool helps to build narrative, as well as spotting important institutional levels.
ICT traders assume that this pattern represents how any candle is built.
“ This is applicable to every time measurement, as long as you have a beginning time, the highest value, the lowest value, and an ending in terms of measuring time. ”
Consider the development of a Bullish Candle over Time:
– Candle Open (initial value price, prior to dynamic imbalance)
– Accumulation of longs around the opening price
– Manipulation where short liquidity is engineered and long liquidity is neutralized
– Range Expansion (dynamic price imbalance)
– Distribution pairing long exits with pending buy interest
– Candle Close (ending value price, post dynamic imbalance)
The same goes for the development of Bearish Candles, in reverse.
Indicator Features:
The HTF Power of Three° Pro+ Indicator allows to monitor the selected Higher Timeframe Candles in real time:
– Follow HTF Candle development Live
– Plot unlimited HTF Candles on the current resolution
– Use NY Midnight time as the Candle Open on Daily and Weekly timeframes
– Spot HTF PD Arrays while on a lower timeframe
– See where the HTF Open, High, and Low are in the current lower resolution with high precision
– Know when the HTF candle is supposed to Close by monitoring its own countdown (below 1D)
– Note previous HTF Low to High ranges to gain a deeper understanding of LTF market profiles
Additional Features:
– Choose between Candles and Bars to display your HTF PO3s
– Hover on the open and close of past HTF candles to see their OHLC and Range values
– Resize and offset HTF candles to your liking
– Stack multiple instances on the indicator to show multiple higher timeframes at once on the same layout
– Backtest strategies with two (or more) timeframes on one chart
– Study and backtest PO3 in Replay Mode with ease
– Trade PO3 with confidence without needing multiple layouts

– Trade PO3 with confidence without needing multiple layouts
This becomes very useful when studying, and especially using, PO3. One can use this as a tool to build narrative, as well as spotting important institutional levels.
You can also monitor more than one HTF PO3 at the time by stacking multiple instances of the indicator:
This works on any timeframe, even the seconds charts!
Note: if you select too high of a PO3 timeframe while on LTF you might receive an error due to TrandingView's data availability on that chart – this can also depend on your TradingView Plan.

Particularly impactful when there's news released during these times.
London Open (02:00-05:00 EST)
New York Open (08:30-11:00 EST)
London Close (10:00-11:30 EST)
True Day delineation
Vertical line at the start of the "true day" (00:00 EST), start of the algorithmic trading day and aids in visualizing the intraday direction.
New York midnight price level
Noteworthy price level at the start of the "true day".
This price level is referenced by the interbank trading algorithms during the day. Buy below it on bullish days, sell above it on bearish days.
Daily open price level
Reference level for optimal trade entries. Buy below it on bullish days, sell above it on bearish days.
Central Banks Dealers Range (CBDR) (14:00-20:00 EST) &
Central Banks Dealers Flout (CBDF) (15:00-24:00 EST) &
Asian Range (AR) (20:00-24:00 EST)
The standard deviation lines available are used to make predictions for short-term future highs/lows when the CBDR and AR are smaller than 40 pips.
Trade them by looking for 5/15min key levels that converge with the projection levels.
X days Average Daily Range (ADR)
Default to 5 days back, gives an idea of how much movement to expect intraday when the ADR high/low is converging with CBDR/CBDF/AR standard deviations.
Current Daily Range (CDR)
Used for comparison against the ADR to help determine if there's enough intraday range left to enter a trade.
Dynamically changes color based on percentage of the ADR. Green below 50% of ADR, orange between 50 and 100%, red when CDR exceeds ADR.
All of the above are used in conjunction with each other and higher timeframe levels of importance to find entries and target.
Note: Preferably use New York's time zone for your charts.
Visualizing Displacement [TFO]An easy and basic way to visualize displacement (energetic moves) in single bars/candles. This is determined by comparing the bar range (either from high to low, or from open to close) to its standard deviation over some specified length. The strength parameter applies some multiple to the standard deviation, which can help to filter out only the strongest indications of potential displacement.
Displacement is a key concept in Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts, especially when anticipating potential changes in trend. Although it's fairly easy to see "displacement candles" with large ranges, the bar coloring in this script can help remind us of who is in control (buyers or sellers) based on what side is creating those energetic moves most recently. Once we see signs of displacement, we can then apply concepts like premium/discount, order blocks, optimal trade entries, etc. to look for reasonable trade opportunities in the direction of the current trend.
A lack of displacement can be just as telling - if an effort to displace through a key swing high/low has failed, it's possible that a reversal may be underway.
Fractal Break Imbalance / Fair Value Gap (FVG) / Liquidity VoidFractal Break Imbalance / Fair Value Gap (FVG) / Liquidity Void
Order imbalances in either direction, either excess buy or sell orders, reduce liquidity. The market will seek to fill gaps sooner or later. The script marks an imbalance / FVG after a fractal break. It also marks any other imbalance.
Default Colours:
Green - Imbalance after fractal break to the upside
Red - Imbalance after fractal break to the downside
Yellow - Other imbalances
How To Use:
Gaps can be used to determine possible entries and targets. Those familiar with liquidity raids, supply and demand, and ICT concepts may realise it's potential.

Intraday Power 3 VisualDescription
This indicator draws a dynamic "Open High Low Close" type visual on intraday charts so the trader can easily keep track of the daily/weekly movement. This indicator was inspired by the Inner Circle Trader’s (ICT) “Power 3” concept, which is Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution of price on a daily timeframe.
Visual
This indicator plots the chosen timeframes opening price along with a live line for the current price. This makes it very easy to identify the daily/weekly range along it’s open. And the user can combine this indicator with my other indicator “Futures Exchange Sessions” to plot the midnight EST & 8:30 AM EST lines to get a great summation of over night price action.
Inputs and Style
In the Input section the user can dynamically switch between Daily and Weekly timeframes. Built in ability to move the entire Visual to the right makes preventing indicator overlap a breeze. All of the lines can be configured: color, style, and width. Independently toggle ON/OFF the Power 3 labels (Accumulation, Manipulation, Range Extension, Distribution) and can change labels color. The labels dynamically move and switch positions based upon bear or bull daily/weekly range.
Special Notes
The Futures market is open 23/5. It is closed everyday for 1-hour at 5pm EST and closed over the weekends. Because this Intraday Power 3 Visual is drawing in the 'future' on the users TradingView chart, when the visual is close or in a time when the market is closed, the visual doesn't behave properly. This is because TradingView doesn't display times when the Market is closed, thus the drawings cannot be displayed during those times. There is nothing wrong with the script. Please wait until the Market is open and the visual will be drawn normally.
This indicator is intended for use in the Futures Market
