Curved Smart Money Concepts Probability (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Curved Smart Money Concepts Probability indicator, developed by Zeiierman, is a sophisticated trading tool designed to leverage the principles of Smart Money trading. This indicator identifies key market structure points and adapts to changing market conditions, providing traders with actionable insights into market trends and potential reversals. The trading tool stands out due to its unique curved structure and advanced probability features, which enhance its effectiveness and usability for traders.
█ How It Works
The indicator operates by analyzing market data to identify pivotal moments where institutional investors might be influencing price movements. It employs a combination of adaptive trend lengths, multipliers for sensitivity adjustments, and pivot periods to accurately capture market structure shifts. The indicator calculates upper and lower bands based on adaptive sizes and identifies zones of overbought (premium) and oversold (discount) conditions.
Key Features of Probability Calculations
The Curved Smart Money Concepts Probability indicator integrates sophisticated probability calculations to enhance trading decision-making:
Win/Loss Tracking: The indicator tracks the number of successful (win) and unsuccessful (loss) trades based on the identified market structure points (ChoCH, SMS, BMS). This provides a historical context of the indicator's performance.
Probability Percentages: For each market structure point (ChoCH, SMS, BMS), the indicator calculates the probability of the next move being successful or not. This is presented as a percentage, giving traders a quantifiable measure of confidence in the signals.
Dynamic Adaptation: The probability calculations adapt to market conditions by considering the frequency and success rate of the signals, allowing traders to adjust their strategies based on the indicator’s historical accuracy.
Visual Representation: Probabilities are displayed on the chart, helping traders quickly assess the likelihood of future price movements based on past performance.
Key benefits of the Curved Structure
The Curved Smart Money Concepts Probability indicator features a unique curved structure that offers several advantages over traditional linear structures:
Noise Reduction: The curved structure smooths out short-term market fluctuations, reducing the noise often seen in linear structures. This helps traders focus on the true trend direction rather than getting distracted by minor price movements.
Adaptive Sensitivity: The curved structure adjusts its sensitivity based on market conditions. This means it can effectively capture both short-term and long-term trends by dynamically adapting to changes in market volatility, something linear structures struggle with.
Enhanced Trend Detection: By providing a more gradual transition between market phases, the curved structure helps in identifying trends more accurately. This is particularly useful in volatile markets where linear structures might give false signals due to their rigid nature.
Improved Market Structure Analysis: The curved structure's ability to adapt and smooth out irregularities provides a clearer picture of the overall market structure. This clarity is essential for identifying premium and discount zones, as well as mid-range support and resistance levels, which are crucial for effective ICT Smart Money Trading.
█ Terminology
ChoCH (Change of Character): Indicates a potential reversal in market direction. It is identified when the price breaks a significant high or low, suggesting a shift from a bullish to bearish trend or vice versa.
SMS (Smart Money Shift): Represents the transition phase in market structure where smart money begins accumulating or distributing assets. It typically follows a BMS and indicates the start of a new trend.
BMS (Bullish/Bearish Market Structure): Confirms the trend direction. Bullish Market Structure (BMS) confirms an uptrend, while Bearish Market Structure (BMS) confirms a downtrend. It is characterized by a series of higher highs and higher lows (bullish) or lower highs and lower lows (bearish).
Premium: A zone where the price is considered overbought. It is calculated as the upper range of the current market structure and indicates a potential area for selling or shorting.
Mid Range: The midpoint between the high and low of the market structure. It often acts as a support or resistance level, helping traders identify potential reversal or continuation points.
Discount: A zone where the price is considered oversold. It is calculated as the lower range of the current market structure and indicates a potential area for buying or going long.
█ How to Use
Identifying Trends and Reversals: Traders can use the indicator to identify the overall market trend and potential reversal points. By observing the ChoCH, SMS, and BMS signals, traders can gauge whether the market is transitioning into a new trend or continuing the current trend.
Example Strategies
⚪ Trend Following Strategy:
Identify the current market trend using BMS signals.
Enter a trade in the direction of the trend when the price retraces to the mid-range zone.
Set a stop-loss just below the mid-range (for long trades) or above the mid-range (for short trades).
Take profit in the premium/discount zone or when a ChoCH signal indicates a potential reversal.
⚪ Reversal Strategy:
Wait for a ChoCH signal to identify a potential market reversal.
Enter a trade in the direction of the new trend as indicated by the SMS signal.
Set a stop-loss just beyond the recent high (for short trades) or low (for long trades).
Take profit when the price reaches the premium or discount zone opposite to the entry.
█ Settings
Curved Trend Length: Determines the length of the trend used to calculate the adaptive size of the structure. Adjusting this length allows traders to capture either longer-term trends (for smoother curves) or short-term trends (for more reactive curves).
Curved Multiplier: Scales the adjustment factors for the upper and lower bands. Increasing the multiplier widens the bands, reducing sensitivity to price changes. Decreasing it narrows the bands, making the structure more responsive.
Pivot Period: Sets the period for capturing trends. A higher period captures broader trends, while a lower period focuses on short-term trends.
Response Period: Adjusts the structure’s responsiveness. A low value focuses on short-term changes, while a high value smoothens the structure.
Premium/Discount Range: Allows toggling between displaying the active range or previous range to analyze real-time or historical levels.
Structure Candles: Enables the display of curved structure candles on the chart, providing a modified view of price action.

FVG Instantaneous Mitigation Signals [LuxAlgo]The FVG Instantaneous Mitigation Signals indicator detects and highlights "instantaneously" mitigated fair value gaps (FVG), that is FVGs that get mitigated one bar after their creation, returning signals upon mitigation.
Take profit/stop loss areas, as well as a trailing stop loss are also included to complement the signals.
🔶 USAGE
Instantaneous Fair Value Gap mitigation is a new concept introduced in this script and refers to the event of price mitigating a fair value gap one bar after its creation.
The resulting signal sentiment is opposite to the bias of the mitigated fair value gap. As such an instantaneously mitigated bearish FGV results in a bullish signal, while an instantaneously mitigated bullish FGV results in a bearish signal.
Fair value gap areas subject to instantaneous mitigation are highlighted alongside their average level, this level is extended until reached in a direction opposite to the FVG bias and can be used as a potential support/resistance level.
Users can filter out less volatile fair value gaps using the "FVG Width Filter" setting, with higher values highlighting more volatile fair value gaps subject to instantaneous mitigation.
🔹 TP/SL Areas
Users can enable take-profit/stop-loss areas. These are displayed upon a new signal formation, with an area starting from the mitigated FVG area average to this average plus/minus N ATRs, where N is determined by their respective multiplier settings.
Using a higher multiplier will return more distant areas from the price, requiring longer-term variations to be reached.
🔹 Trailing Stop Loss
A trailing-stop loss is included, increasing when the price makes a new higher high or lower low since the trailing has been set. Using a higher trailing stop multiplier will allow its initial position to be further away from the price, reducing its chances of being hit.
The trailing stop can be reset on "Every Signal", whether they are bullish or bearish, or only on an "Inverse Signal", which will reset the trailing when a signal of opposite bias is detected, this will preserve an existing trailing stop when a new signal of the same bias to the present one is detected.
🔶 DETAILS
Fair Value Gaps are ubiquitous to price action traders. These patterns arise when there exists a disparity between supply and demand. The action of price coming back and filling these imbalance areas is referred to as "mitigation" or "rebalancing".
"Instantaneous mitigation" refers to the event of price quickly mitigating a prior fair value gap, which in the case of this script is one bar after their creation. These events are indicative of a market more attentive to imbalances, and more willing to correct disparities in supply and demand.
If the market is particularly sensitive to imbalances correction then these can be excessively corrected, leading to further imbalances, highlighting a potential feedback process.
🔶 SETTINGS
FVG Width Filter: Filter out FVGs with thinner areas from returning a potential signal.
🔹 TP/SL
TP Area: Enable take-profit areas for new signals.
Multiplier: Control the distance from the take profit and the price, with higher values returning more distant TP's.
SL Area: Enable stop-loss areas for new signals.
Multiplier: Control the distance from the stop loss and the price, with higher values returning more distant SL's.
🔹 Trailing Stop
Reset Trailing Stop: Determines when the trailing stop is reset.
Multiplier: Controls the initial position of the trailing stop, with higher values returning more distant trailing stops.
Liquidity Swings & SweepsThis Pine script indicator is designed to create a visual representation liquidity as identified by swing Highs/Lows along with an indication of the liquidity level that was swept, optionally rating the strength of the sweep based on time & price.
Relevance:
Liquidity levels & sweeps are crucial for many SMC/ICT setups and can indicate a point at which the price changes direction or may re-trace in an opposite direction to provide additional liquidity for continued move in the original direction. Additionally, liquidity levels may provide targets for setups, as price action will often seek to take out those levels as they main contain many buy/sell stops.
How It Works:
The indicator tracks all swing points, as identified using user-defined strength of the swing. Once a swing is formed that meets the criteria, it is represented by a horizontal line starting at the price of the current swing until the last bar on the chart. While the swing is valid, this line will continue to be extended until the swing is invalid or a new swing is formed. Upon identifying a new swing, the indicator then scans the earlier swings in the same direction looking for a point of greatest liquidity that was taken by the current swing. This level is then denoted by dashed horizontal line, connecting earlier swing point to the current. At the same time any liquidity zones between the two swings are automatically removed from the chart if they had previously been rendered on the chart. If the setting to enable scan for maximum liquidity is enabled, then while looking back, the indicator will look for lowest low or highest high that was taken by the current swing point, which may not be a swing itself, however, is a lowest/highest price point taken (mitigated) by the current swing, which in many cases will be better price then then the one represented by previous swing. If the option to render sweep label is enabled, the sweep line will also be completed by a label, that will score the sweep and a tooltip showing the details of the level swept and the time it took to sweep it. The score explained further in configurability section ranks the strength of the sweep based on time and is complemented by price (difference in price between the two liquidity levels).
Configurability:
A user may configure the strength of the swing using both left/right strength (number of bars) as well as optionally instruct the indicator to seek the lowest/highest price point which may not be previous swing that was taken out by newly formed swing.
From appearance perspective liquidity level colors & line width presenting the liquidity/swing can be configured. There is also an option to render the liquidity sweep label that will generate an icon-based rating of the liquidity sweep and a tooltip that provides details on the scope of the swing, which includes liquidity level swept and when it was formed along with the time it took to sweep the liquidity.
Rating is of sweeps is primarily based on time with a secondary reference to price
💥- Best rating, very strong sweep with an hourly or better liquidity sweep
🔥- Second rating, strong sweep with 15 – 59 minute liquidity sweep, or 5+ minute sweep of 10+ points
✅- Third rating, ok sweep with 5 - 15 minute liquidity sweep, or lower-time-frame sweep of 10+ points
❄️ - Weakest sweep, with liquidity of 5 or less minutes swept
What makes this indicator different:
Designed with high performance in mind, to reduce impact on chart render time.
Only keeps valid liquidity levels & sweeps on the chart
Automatically removes previously taken liquidity levels
Ranks liquidity sweeps to indicate strength of the sweep
Fair Value Gap (FVG) Oscillator [UAlgo]The "Fair Value Gap (FVG) Oscillator " is designed to identify and visualize Fair Value Gaps (FVG) within a given lookback period on a trading chart. This indicator helps traders by highlighting areas where price gaps may signify potential trading opportunities, specifically bullish and bearish patterns. By leveraging volume and Average True Range (ATR) data, the FVG Oscillator aims to enhance the accuracy of pattern recognition and provide more reliable signals for trading decisions.
🔶 Identification of Fair Value Gap (FVG)
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) are specific price areas where gaps occur, and they are often considered significant in technical analysis. These gaps can indicate potential future price movements as the market may return to fill these gaps. This indicator identifies two types of FVGs:
Bullish FVG: Occurs when the current low price is higher than the high price two periods ago. This condition suggests a potential upward price movement.
Obtains with:
low > high
Bearish FVG: Occurs when the current high price is lower than the low price two periods ago. This condition suggests a potential downward price movement.
Obtains with:
high < low
The FVG Oscillator not only identifies these gaps but also verifies them using volume and ATR conditions to ensure more reliable trading signals.
🔶 Key Features
Lookback Period: Users can set the lookback period to determine how far back the indicator should search for FVG patterns.
ATR Multiplier: The ATR Multiplier is used to adjust the sensitivity of the ATR-based conditions for verifying FVG patterns.
Volume SMA Period: This setting determines the period for the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the volume, which helps in identifying high volume conditions.
Why ATR and Volume are Used?
ATR (Average True Range) and volume are integrated into the Fair Value Gap (FVG) Oscillator to enhance the accuracy and reliability of the identified patterns. ATR measures market volatility, helping to filter out insignificant price gaps and focus on impactful ones, ensuring that the signals are relevant and strong. Volume, on the other hand, confirms the strength of price movements. High volume often indicates the sustainability of these movements, reducing the likelihood of false signals. Together, ATR and volume ensure that the detected FVGs are both significant and supported by market activity, providing more trustworthy trading signals.
Normalized Values: The FVG counts are normalized to enhance the visual representation and interpretation of the patterns on the chart.
Visual Customization and Plotting: Users can customize the colors for positive (bullish) and negative (bearish) areas, and choose whether to display these areas on the chart, also plots the bullish and bearish FVG counts, a zero line, and the net value of FVG counts. Additionally, it uses histograms to display the width of verified bullish and bearish patterns.

Order Blocks & Breaker Blocks [TradingFinder] Signals + Alerts🔵 Introduction
Order Block and Breaker Block, are powerful tools in technical analysis. By understanding these concepts, traders can enhance their ability to predict potential price reversals and continuations, leading to more effective trading strategies.
Using historical price action, volume analysis, and candlestick patterns, traders can identify key areas where institutional activities influence market movements.
🟣 Demand Order Block and Supply Breaker Block
Demand Order Block : A Demand Order Block is formed when the price succeeds in breaking the previous high pivot.
Supply Breaker Block : A Supply Breaker Block is formed when the price succeeds in breaking the Demand Order Block. As a result, the Order Block changes its role and turns from the role of price support to resistance.
🟣 Supply Order Block and Demand Breaker Block
Supply Order Block : A Supply Order Block is formed when the price succeeds in breaking the previous low pivot.
Demand Breaker Block : A Demand Breaker Block is formed when the price succeeds in breaking the Supply Order Block. As a result, the Order Block changes its role and turns from the role of price resistance to support.
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Order Blocks (Supply and Demand)
Order blocks are zones where the likelihood of a price reversal is higher. In demand zones, buying opportunities arise, while in supply zones, selling opportunities can be explored.
The "Refinement" feature allows you to adjust the width of the order block to fit your trading strategy. There are two modes in the "Order Block Refine" feature: "Aggressive" and "Defensive." The primary difference between these modes is the width of the order block.
For risk-averse traders, the "Defensive" mode is ideal as it offers a lower loss limit and a higher reward-to-risk ratio.
Conversely, for traders who are willing to take more risks, the "Aggressive" mode is more suitable. This mode, with its wider order block width, caters to those who prefer entering trades at higher prices.
🟣 Breaker Blocks (Supply and Demand)
Trading based on breaker blocks is the same as order blocks and the price in these zones is likely to be reversed.
🔵 Setting

Market Structures + ZigZag [TradingFinder] CHoCH/BOS - MSS/MSB🟣 Introduction
🔵 Market Structure
Grasping market structure entails examining market behavior. Essentially, market structure refers to the formation and progression of the market within its trends.
Market structures are generally fractal and nested, leading us to classify them into internal (minor) and external (major) structures. There are several definitions of market structure, with differing perspectives such as Smart Money and ICT offering their own interpretations.
🔵 Zig Zag
The Zigzag indicator is a lagging tool that identifies points on a price chart where significant changes occur compared to the previous wave. By connecting these points, it helps traders detect trends.
This indicator minimizes random price fluctuations, aiming to clarify the primary price trend.
Pivots are points on a price chart where the direction changes. Also known as reversal points, pivots form when supply and demand forces overpower one another.
There are various types of technical analysis pivots, which can be divided into two categories: minor pivots and major pivots, each with distinct significance in analysis.
Major Pivot : These pivots signify substantial changes in the chart's direction and occur at the end of trends. Analysts focusing on primary analysis prioritize major pivot points. In fact, most technical analysis tools are evaluated and based on major pivots.
Minor Pivot : These pivots highlight smaller, subsidiary points and directions, appearing at the end of corrections. Analysts who focus on minor pivots represent small trends. It's important to note that minor pivots are not suitable for use in primary technical tools.
Identifying Minor and Major Pivots :
Minor pivots are formed between two major pivots and do not break the opposing major pivot. (Internal Pivot)
Major pivots are those that either successfully break the opposing pivot or move beyond the previous pivot of the same type. (External Pivot)
🟣 How to Use
🔵 Identifying Break of Structure (BOS)
In a given trend, such as a downtrend, a Break of Structure occurs when the price drops below the previous low and forms a new low (LL). In an uptrend, a BOS (MSB) happens when the price rises and exceeds the last high.
To confirm a trend, at least one BOS is required. The break above or below the previous high or low must be validated by the closing of at least one candle beyond that level.
🔵 Identifying Change of Character (CHOCH)
Change of Character (CHOCH) is an essential concept in market structure analysis, indicating a trend change. In other words, a trend concludes with a CHOCH (MSS). For example, in a downtrend, the price declines with BOS.
While BOS highlights the trend's strength, a CHOCH occurs when the price rises and surpasses the last high, signaling a transition from a downtrend to an uptrend.
This does not imply immediately entering a buy trade; instead, it is prudent to wait for a BOS in the upward direction to confirm the uptrend.
Unlike BOS, confirming a CHOCH does not require a candle to close; simply breaking above or below the previous high or low with the candle's wick is sufficient. The following examples illustrate bearish and bullish CHOCH.
Terms :
Market Structure Shift = MSS
Market Structure Break = MSB
🔵 Zig Zag
Based on identifying pivots and drawing zigzag lines, you can have different uses of this indicator.
Including :
Identifying pivot types along with major and minor recognition.
Identifying internal and external breakouts.
Identifying support and resistance levels.
Identifying Elliott Waves.
Identifying classic patterns.
Identifying pivots with higher validity.
Identifying trends and range areas.
🟣 Settings
Pivot Period Market Structure and ZigZag Line: Using this input, you can determine the pivot period for identifying swings.
Through the settings, you can customize the display, visibility, and color of each line as desired.
Equal Highs and LowsDescription:
The ‘Equal Highs and Lows’ indicator is a technical analysis tool that marks identical price levels on a trading chart using the current time-frame, assisting traders in identifying potential support and resistance zones or liquidity draws. It creates a horizontal line connecting points where the price has created equal highs and lows within a specified lookback period. Unique to this tool, it maintains a clean chart by removing the line once the price surpasses the equal highs or falls below the equal lows, ensuring only the currently relevant equal highs and lows are highlighted.
Features:
Customization Options: Users can adjust the appearance of the lines (color, width, and style) to match their chart setup or preferences. Users can also choose to extend the lines marking the equal highs/lows to the right of the chart making the equal high/low levels more easier to visualize.
User-Defined Lookback Length: The number of bars to look back for finding equal highs and lows can be set by the user, allowing for flexibility in different market conditions.
How It Works:
The indicator meticulously scans the chart over a user-specified lookback duration, identifying bars with matching high or low values that have not been mitigated on the current chat timeframe, thereby constructing an index of equal values. It subsequently connects these equal values on the chart with a line. While this intuitive indicator does not forecast future market trends, it emphasizes significant price levels derived from historical data.
Usage:
Identifying Support and Resistance: The lines drawn by the indicator can be used to identify potential support and resistance zones and/or draws of liquidity, which are crucial for making informed trading decisions.
Strategy Development: Traders can incorporate the visual cues provided by the indicator into their trading strategies, using them as one of the factors for entry or exit decisions.
Originality:
This indicator presents a distinctive method for pinpointing and illustrating equal highs and lows, granting traders a crucial insight into key price levels. It stands apart from conventional indicators by offering extensive personalization and employing a novel approach to augment chart analysis. Uniquely, it retains only unmitigated equal high/low levels on the chart, automatically discarding mitigated price levels once the price has reached that level.
Conclusion:
The "Equal Highs and Lows" indicator is a practical tool for traders looking to enhance their chart analysis with visual cues of significant price levels. Its customization options and innovative approach make it a valuable addition to the trading toolkit, suitable for various trading styles and strategies.
Market Structure Targets Model [LuxAlgo]The Market Structure Targets Model indicator provides an algorithmic approach to setting targets from market structure shifts (MSS) and market structure breaks (MSB), two popular Smart Money Concept (SMC) concepts. Depending on the target % settings, they can be used as take profit, confirmation levels, or potential reversal points.
🔶 USAGE
Our Market Structure Targets Model scripts provide automated and customizable targets from MSS and MSB. Each displayed target can be used in several ways described in the sub-sections below:
🔹 Take Profit
The targets can be used as take profit levels, where the target distance can be set separately for bullish/bearish MSS/MSB respectively.
🔹 Confirmation Levels
Alternatively, targets can be used as an additional confirmation level of a trend reversal when set at a lower percentage, filtering out fake signals that might be given from market structures. In this way, targets can be used as potential entry levels.
🔹 Potential Reversal Points
In some circumstances, targets being reached can be indicative of trend reversals. The percentage of the targets would be typically set higher to allow for trend exhaustion.
The above examples highlight this usage for bearish reversal scenarios, while the image below highlights it for bullish reversal scenarios.
🔹 Support/Resistance Levels
The targets, being horizontal levels, can also serve as potential support/resistances, with breakouts potentially confirming new trends. It is important to remain observant of the market structure. An MSS or MSB in the opposite direction provides essential information to be included in future decisions.
Using multiple timeframes can help detect longer-term trends. Depending on the user's preference, they can choose the appropriate timeframe for their needs.
Note that Target lines will only be drawn when the Target Level exceeds the close value when it is drawn.
🔹 Maximum Target Duration
The Maximum Target Duration setting removes unreached target levels when the amount of bars since the associated market structure of that target exceeds the user set limit. This effectively allows the removal of any target that might no longer be relevant to newer trends.
🔹 Type: Switch/Hold
This setting is another way to control unreached target levels.
Switch: When a new MSS/MSB is found, the previous target level associated with a market structure with the same direction (bullish/bearish) is deleted if it hasn't been reached.
Hold: Target levels are retained and continuously evaluated when a new MSS/MSB is formed.
The target level will be removed in both cases when the Maximum Target Duration condition is applied.
The above example shows the case when the Type setting is set to Switch , while in the example below, it is set to Hold .
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Market Structure
Market structures are commonly classified as follows:
Market Structure Shift (MSS), also referred to as Change of Character (CHoCH)
Market Structure Break (MSB), also referred to as Break of Structure (BOS)
MSS indicates a shift in the market trend, confirming trend reversals. Conversely, MSB occurs once a trend is already determined, confirming new higher highs/lower lows.
🔹 Targets
A: Highest/lowest between the extremities of the MSS/MSB line
B: Price value of the MSS/MSB line
The distance between A and B is projected on the opposite side of the MSS/MSB line, adjusted with a percentage that can be set by the user. The above example used 100% of the distance between A and B.
The Target Percentage of MSS and MSB can be set separately for bullish or bearish market structures.
🔶 SETTINGS
Swings: Period used for the swing detection, with higher values returning longer-term Swing Levels.
Type: the Switch/Hold setting controls unattained target levels
Maximum Target Duration: removes the target lines when the amount of bars since the drawing of the target exceeds the limit and the target has not been reached

Market Structures SMC [TradingFinder] BOS/CHoCH Major & Minor🟣Introduction
Understanding market structure involves analyzing market behavior. In other words, market structure encompasses how the market forms and evolves within trends.
Market structures are typically fractal and nested, so we categorize them into internal (minor) and external (major) structures. There are various definitions of market structure, with different approaches such as Smart Money and ICT providing their own interpretations.
🟣How to Use
The first step in identifying market structure is to analyze key highs and lows. An uptrend is formed when highs and lows are successively higher than previous ones. Similarly, in a downtrend, lows and highs are successively lower than previous ones.
Market trends consist of two types of movements :
•Impulsive movements
•Corrective movements
Impulsive movements align with the main trend and possess high strength and momentum. Conversely, corrective movements go against the main trend and have lower strength and momentum. The following example illustrates these concepts.
🔵 Identifying Break of Structure (BOS)
In a specific trend, for example in a downtrend, when the price breaks below the previous low and forms a new low (LL), a Break of Structure occurs. In an uptrend, a BOS (Market Structure Break or MSB) happens when the price rises and surpasses the last high.
We need at least one BOS to confirm a trend. Breaking above or below the previous high or low must be confirmed by closing at least one candle after that level.
🔵 Identifying Change of Character (CHOCH)
Change of Character (CHOCH) is a key concept in market structure analysis. A change in structure signals a trend change. In other words, a trend ends with a CHOCH (Market Structure Shift or MSS). For instance, in a downtrend, the price declines with BOS.
BOS indicates the strength of the trend, but when the price increases and surpasses the last high, a CHOCH occurs, signaling a shift from a downtrend to an uptrend.
This does not mean entering a buy trade; instead, we should wait for a BOS in the upward direction to confirm the uptrend. Unlike BOS, confirming a CHOCH does not require a candle to close; simply breaking above or below the previous high or low with the candle's wick is sufficient. The following examples show bearish and bullish CHOCH.
🔵 Range Market Structure
Besides uptrends and downtrends, a third structure often found in the market is the range or sideways structure. In this state, the power of buyers and sellers is almost equal, and the market lacks a clear trend.
Many traders believe that the Forex market ranges 80% of the time. Therefore, it requires a lot of patience to wait for a new trend to start.

Liquidity Grab Zones | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Liquidity Grab Zones Indicator! This indicator finds liquidity grabs in the current ticker and renders buyside & sellside liquidity grab zones. The retests and breakout of the zones are labeled, and you can set up alerts to get notified. For more information, please check the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
Features of the new Liquidity Grab Zones Indicator :
Renders Buyside & Sellside Liquidity Grab Zones
Retests & Breaks
Inverse Zones After Broken Feature
Alerts For All Features
Customizable Algorithm
Customizable Styles
🚩UNIQUENESS
Liquidity grabs can be useful when determining candles that have executed a lot of market orders, so you can plann your trades accordingly. This indicator lets you customize the pivot length and the wick-body ratio for liquidity grabs, provide retest & breakout labels, with customized styling and alerts.
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Liquidity grabs occur when one of the latest pivots has a false breakout. Then, if the wick to body ratio of the bar is higher than 0.5 (can be changed from the settings) a zone is plotted.
These zones usually indicate areas of high market interest where price action may reverse or accelerate. Identifying these zones can provide traders with critical levels for entering or exiting trades. A breakout of these zones generally mean strong movements are inbound, while failing breakouts make these zones act like support / resistance zones.
The indicator also reverses the type of the zone after an invalidation (can be turned off from the settings). This feature helps traders identify potential reversals more accurately.
The zone width is set to the area from the wick to the body of the candlestick, which can be seen here :
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Pivot Length -> This setting determines the range of the pivots. This means a candle has to have the highest / lowest wick of the previous X bars and the next X bars to become a high / low pivot.
Wick-Body Ratio -> After a pivot has a false breakout, the wick-body ratio of the latest candle is tested. The resulting ratio must be higher than this setting for it to be considered as a liquidity grab.
Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for Liquidity Grab Zone Invalidation.
Use these customizable settings to fine-tune the indicator according to your trading strategy and preferences.

FVG Breakaway/3rd Candle (Arjo) [MK]Simple script to identify FVGs (Fair Value Gaps) on the current chart timeframe. The script differs from other FVG indicators on the Tradingview platform by using Arjos 3rd candle rule to identify which gaps are 'Breakway Gaps' and which Gaps are likely to be returned to.
NOTE: As with all 'trading rules' this theory is not 100% accurate.
default settings:
Breakaway Gaps = YELLOW
Gaps that price may return to = GREEN
Mitigated Gaps = 100% TRANSPARENT
What is a FVG:
A FVG is a price area defined by a 3 candle pattern. For a bullish FVG, the low of the 3rd candle must be higher than the high of the 1st candle. This then leaves an area that is drawn as in the example below:
A bearish FVG is defined by the high of the 3rd candle being lower than the low of the 1st candle, as shown in the example below:
FVGs can act like magnets where price will either retrace to or reach for, therefore they can be used as entry points and also for take profit target levels.
If for example, a trader would like to use an FVG for an entry, it would be useful to know which FVGs are more likely for price to re-enter and which FVG will be left un-touched. FVGs that are likely to be left un-touched by price are called 'Breakaway Gaps'.
How do we define a 'Breakaway Gap':
First we identify FVGs using the rules stated above, then we look to see where the 3rd candle closed in relation to the 2nd candle. For a bullish 'Breakaway Gap' we want to see the 3rd candle close above the high of the 2nd candle. An example of a bullish Breakaway Gap is shown in the example below:
A bearish 'Breakaway Gap' is defined by the close of the 3rd candle being lower than the low of the 2nd candle. An example is shown below:
How do we define an FVG that price may return to:
Any gap that does not meet the above rules for a 'Breakway Gap' is therefore considered an FVG that price may return to. So for a bullish FVG that price may return to we would look to see if the close of the 3rd candle is above the high of the 2nd candle. If it is not above the high of the 2nd candle then it more likely that price will retrace into the FVG before continuing higher. An example is shown below:
A bearish gap that price may return to is defined by the close of the 3rd candle not being lower than the low of the 2nd candle. An example is shown below:
The indicator is based on the teachings of 'Arjo'. Note: breakaway gaps will only remain 'breakaway' until a liquidity level is reached. Breakaways therefore do not remain 'breakaway' forever. Users of the indicators must fully comprehend this theory before using the indicator with live markets.
Users of the script should be fully aware of this concept and also have conducted thorough backtesting using a large data set before using this indicator with live accounts.
London Killzone + Deviations[MK]For traders that use the London Killzone session high/low to project possible take profit targets.
The indicator will determine the current day London killzone high and low range and draw a range box to the right of the last candle on the chart. Drawing to the right of the chart keeps the workspace cleaner.
The high/low range is then used to project Standard Deviation levels above and below the London range.
Levels projected are +/- 1, 2, 2.5, 3, 4.
Users of the script should conduct proper backtesting using a large data range before applying to live accounts.

🌟 Quick Guide to Using the Volumetric Fair Value Gaps Indicator:
🛠 Add the Indicator: Add the indicator to favourites and set it up with your desired settings.
📊 Market Analysis: Watch for the appearance of colored boxes (blue for bearish, gray for bullish) which represent the fair value gaps. These are high-probability areas for reversals or continuations. FVGs with higher volume are implied to induce a stronger reaction on price.
🔔 Alerts: Set up alerts to notify you when new gaps are detected, ensuring you never miss out on potential trades!
🛠 How It Works:
The Volumetric Fair Value Gaps (VFVG) indicator identifies significant price gaps that are not just based on price action but are also substantiated by volume, which are often overlooked in typical analyses. It operates by comparing the current candle’s price range against historical averages and is calculated over a user-defined period, displayed with volume for further insights. For a gap to be recognized as significant (either bullish or bearish), it must exceed a certain size relative to these averages, which can be adjusted for sensitivity using the provided settings. Bullish gaps are identified when the current low is higher than the second previous high after surpassing the threshold, and bearish gaps are marked when the current high is below the second previous low, similarly surpassing the threshold. This dual-confirmation (volume and price deviation) approach minimizes false signals and enhances the reliability of identified gaps.
Maximize your trading strategy with the VFVG Indicator by AlgoAlpha and turn those gaps into opportunities! 🌈✨
Smart Money Setup 05 [TradingFinder] Minor OB & Trend Proof🔵 Introduction
The "Smart Money Concept" transcends the realm of mere technical trading strategies to embody a comprehensive philosophy on the dynamics of market operations. It posits that key market participants engage in price manipulation, thereby complicating the trading landscape for smaller, retail traders.
Under this doctrine, retail traders are advised to tailor their strategies in alignment with the maneuvers of "Smart Money" - essentially, the capital operated by market makers.
To this end, one should endeavor to mirror the trading patterns of these influential market participants, who are adept at navigating through the nuances of supply, demand, and overall market structure. As a proponent of Smart Money trading, these elements are pivotal in your decision-making process for trade entries.
🟣 Key Insights
The core principle of this strategy hinges on misleading other traders. A sudden market movement against the prevailing trend that results in the formation of either a lower low or a higher high, followed by a pullback where a divergence pattern emerges, sets the stage.
Subsequently, the market may form another lower low or higher high. Traders, persuaded that the market will continue along the trajectory of the new movement, are caught off-guard when the price abruptly reverses direction. Following a "Stop Hunt" of the traders' open positions, the market resumes its initial trend.
To grasp the essence of this setup, observe the following illustrations.
"Bullish Setup" :
"Bearish Setup" :
🔵 How to Use
The setups can be customized based on the desired formation period. This adjustment can be made through the indicator's price setting options, where the default period is set at 2.
Upon configuring your preferred period, the signals become actionable. Once a setup forms, the subsequent step involves waiting for the price to reach the "Order Block".

[UST] Protein+Support/Resistance Script: A Comprehensive Overview
Thanks to Pmgjiv for providing the foundation to this improved Version.
In the world of trading, having a robust support and resistance analysis tool can make a significant difference in decision-making and overall strategy. Let's delve into the enhancements made to the support/resistance script and how each component contributes to a trader's arsenal:
Changes and improvements made for the script to help Traders make better rational decisions in their Trading:
1. Multiple Timeframes:
Integrating multiple timeframes into the analysis provides a multi-dimensional view of the market. Traders can now assess price action across different time horizons simultaneously. This feature allows for a deeper understanding of market dynamics and helps in identifying significant support and resistance levels across various timeframes.
2. Timeframe Labels Inside Zones:
By including timeframe labels within the zones, traders can easily identify the origin of each support or resistance level. This contextual information enhances clarity and facilitates more informed decision-making, especially when navigating through multiple timeframes.
3. Visual Zone Update:
Visual updates on zones enable traders to track changes in support and resistance levels in real-time. This dynamic feature enhances the analytical process by providing immediate insights into evolving market conditions, thereby enabling traders to adapt their strategies accordingly.
4. Zones Hit:
Understanding the frequency and intensity of zone hits offers valuable insights into the strength and relevance of support and resistance levels. Traders can gauge the significance of each zone based on its historical interaction with price, thereby gaining a deeper understanding of market sentiment and potential trading opportunities.
5. Option to Turn off Current Timeframe:
The ability to toggle off the current timeframe streamlines chart analysis by focusing only on the most critical support and resistance zones. This decluttering feature helps traders prioritize key levels, reducing cognitive overload and enhancing decision-making efficiency.
Explanation of Additional Functions:
a. Lookback:
The 'lookback' parameter allows traders to customize the age of support and resistance zones based on their trading style and preferences. By adjusting the lookback setting, traders can choose whether to prioritize recent price action or consider historical data, thus tailoring the analysis to their specific trading strategies.
b. Swinglength:
Swinglength determines the sensitivity of the support and resistance zones. By modifying this parameter, traders can control how aggressively the script identifies pivot points. A higher swinglength value results in smoother, more stable zones, whereas a lower value increases sensitivity, capturing smaller price movements.
c. ZigZag Indicator:
The ZigZag indicator plays a pivotal role in identifying significant price reversals. Its period setting determines the number of price bars considered before confirming a pivot point. Traders can utilize this indicator to identify key turning points in the market, aiding in the identification of robust support and resistance levels.
Impact of Sensitivity on Zones:
Adjusting the sensitivity of the ZigZag indicator directly influences the identification and delineation of support and resistance zones. Higher sensitivity levels result in fewer but more robust zones, capturing significant price movements. Conversely, lower sensitivity levels yield more zones, accommodating smaller price fluctuations but potentially introducing noise into the analysis.
d. S/R Range:
The ability to adjust the width of support and resistance zones allows traders to customize the breadth of key areas on a chart. Choosing a wider range encompasses a broader spectrum of prices, thereby identifying more comprehensive support and resistance levels. This flexibility enables traders to adapt their analysis to different market conditions and trading strategies.
Utilization in Trading:
Comprehensive Analysis: By incorporating multiple timeframes, traders gain a holistic view of market dynamics, enabling them to identify high-probability trading opportunities across various horizons.
Contextual Understanding: Timeframe labels within zones provide context, helping traders understand the significance of each level in relation to different timeframes and market conditions.
Real-time Adaptability: Visual zone updates facilitate real-time analysis, allowing traders to adjust their strategies promptly in response to changing market conditions.
Informed Decision-making: By considering zone hits, traders can assess the strength and relevance of support and resistance levels, enhancing their ability to make informed trading decisions.
Customized Analysis: Adjustable parameters such as lookback, swinglength, and sensitivity empower traders to tailor the analysis to their individual trading styles and preferences, enhancing precision and effectiveness.
In summary, these enhancements to the support/resistance script provide traders with a powerful toolkit for analyzing market dynamics, identifying key levels, and executing well-informed trading strategies across various timeframes and market conditions.
Dynamic Order Blocks [LuxAlgo]The Dynamic Order Blocks indicator displays the most recent unmitigated bullish and bearish order blocks on the chart, providing dynamic support/resistance areas.
When price sweeps an order block, this is highlighted by the script indicating a potential reversal.
The average between the displayed order blocks is also displayed.
🔶 USAGE
Order blocks are a popular method of price action analysis, representing price areas where more significant market participants accumulate their orders.
Displaying order blocks dynamically allows obtaining relevant areas of support/resistance. Users can obtain longer-term order blocks using a higher "Swing Lookback" setting.
Users can also use mitigation events to assess the current trend direction, with price mitigating a bearish order block (breaking above the upper extremity) indicating an uptrend, and price mitigating a bullish order block (breaking below the lower extremity) indicating a downtrend.
🔹 Average Level
An average level obtained from the displayed bullish and bearish order blocks is included in the indicator and offers an additional polyvalent dynamic support/resistance level.
The change of direction of the average line can also be indicative of the current trend direction.
🔹 Dynamic Sweeps
Price sweeping the mitigation level of an order block is highlighted on the chart using bordered rectangles. These highlight a breakout failure and can be indicative of a potential reversal.
🔶 SETTINGS
Swing Lookback: Period of the swing detection used to construct order blocks. Higher values will return longer-term order blocks.
Use Candle Body: Use the candle body as the order block area instead of the candle full range.
Smart Money Setup 02 [TradingFinder] Mitigated Major OB Proof🔵 Introduction
"Smart money" is money invested by knowledgeable individuals at the right time, and this investment can yield the highest returns.
The concept we focus on in this indicator is whether the market is in an uptrend or downtrend. The market briefly takes a weak and reversal trend with "Minor BoS" without being able to break the major pivot.
In the next step, it returns to its main trend with a strong bullish move and continues its trend with a "Major BoS". The "order block" behind this rapid and powerful movement can be a valid order block for trading.
To better understand this setup, please refer to the explanations in the two images below.
