rsi = ta.rsi(close, rsi_length)
// StochRSI transformation
stochRSI = ((ta.highest(rsi, stoch_length) - ta.lowest(rsi, stoch_length)) != 0) ?
(100 * (rsi - ta.lowest(rsi, stoch_length))) /
(ta.highest(rsi, stoch_length) - ta.lowest(rsi, stoch_length)) : 0
2. Signal Generation System:
// Core signal conditions
crossover_buy = crossOver(sk, sd, cross_threshold)
valid_buy_zone = sk < 30 and sd < 30
price_within_sma_bands = close <= sma_high and close >= sma_low
// Enhanced signal generation
if crossover_buy and valid_buy_zone and price_within_sma_bands and htf_allows_long
if is_bullish_candle
long_signal := true
else
awaiting_bull_confirmation := true
3. Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
= request.security(syminfo.tickerid, mtf_period,
)
The HTF filter looks at a higher timeframe (default: 4H) to confirm the trend
It only allows:
Long trades when the higher timeframe is bullish
Short trades when the higher timeframe is bearish
📈 Trading Application Guide:
1. Signal Identification
• Oversold Opportunities (< 30 level)
- Look for bullish crosses of K-line above D-line
- Confirm with higher timeframe alignment
- Wait for price action confirmation (bullish candle)
• Overbought Conditions (> 70 level)
- Watch for bearish crosses of K-line below D-line
- Verify higher timeframe condition
- Confirm with bearish price action
2. Divergence Trading
• Bullish Divergence
- Price makes lower lows while indicator makes higher lows
- Most effective when occurring in oversold territory
- Use with support levels for entry timing
• Bearish Divergence
- Price makes higher highs while indicator shows lower highs
- Most reliable in overbought conditions
- Combine with resistance levels
3. Wave Effect Analysis
• Strong Waves
- Multiple wave lines moving in same direction indicate momentum
- Wider wave spread suggests increased volatility
- Use for trend strength confirmation
• Energy Field
- Higher intensity in trading zones suggests stronger moves
- Use for momentum confirmation
- Watch for energy field convergence with price action
The energy field is like a heat map that shows momentum strength
It gets stronger (more visible) when:
Price is in oversold (<30) or overbought (>70) zones
The indicator lines are moving apart quickly
A strong signal is forming
Think of it as a "strength meter" - the more visible the energy field, the stronger the potential move
4. Risk Management Integration
• Entry Confirmation
- Wait for all signal components to align
- Use higher timeframe for trend direction
- Confirm with price action and SMA positions
• Stop Loss Placement
- Consider placing stops beyond recent swing points
- Use ATR for dynamic stop calculation
- Account for market volatility
5. Position Management
• Partial Profit Taking
- Consider scaling out at overbought/oversold levels
- Use wave effect intensity for exit timing
- Monitor energy field for momentum shifts
• Trade Duration
- Short-term: Use primary signals in trading zones
- Swing trades: Focus on divergence signals
- Position trades: Utilize higher timeframe signals
⚠️ Important Usage Notes:
• Avoid:
- Trading against strong trends
- Relying solely on single signals
- Ignoring higher timeframe context
- Over-leveraging based on signals
Remember: This tool is designed to assist in analysis but should never be used as the sole decision-maker for trades. Always maintain proper risk management and combine with other forms of analysis.
X Levels [Pro+] (TradeX)Introduction:
The X-Levels Indicator is a cutting-edge trading tool to help identify key price levels around Premium / Discount Arrays (PD arrays) at Higher Timeframe Points of Interest. It aids the trader by automatically measuring dealing ranges across multiple Timeframes and highlighting the percentages within which define a Premium & Discount Range. These percentages, known as X-Levels, are where the trader seeks an entry around a relevant PD array. This approach allows a trader to optimize entry and exit points around X-Levels. Suitable for traders of all levels, X-Levels enhances analysts' trade location and framework, providing crucial insights into market movements.
What is an X-Level? A specific percentage within any given dealing range that defines a premium and discount. X Levels are defined as the following percents: 0,12,21,29.5,38,50,61.8,70.5,79,88,100. Percentages below 50% indicate a discount and above 50% indicate a premium.
Foundation: This methodology, developed by TradeX, defines a consistent way for defining dealing ranges and his key percentage levels. Built upon Inner Circle Trader (ICT)’s principles of price delivery, it recognizes that price moves between premium and discount levels, seeking liquidity and inefficiencies.
After extensive refinements, this tool now automates the identification of these dealing ranges across any Timeframe, whilst presenting the X-Levels in a clear and precise manner allowing traders to track price movements with precision and efficiency across multiple time frames.
As price moves between X-Levels, it is the trader’s role to analyze which PD Array offers the best entry opportunity around a given X-Level. The true value of this tool lies in its ability to automatically update Dealing Ranges in real Time, eliminating the need for manual measurement or adjustment. This not only saves Time but also allows analysts to focus on trading rather than manually drawing and updating dealing ranges, removing guess work from defining the correct X Levels dealing range.
When X-Levels are applied across multiple Timeframes, traders gain a comprehensive view of the current market conditions. A key principle of this approach is aligning with price at Higher Timeframe (HTF) Point of Interest. By tracking dealing ranges from HTF while operating in Lower Timeframes, analysts can maintain a granular view while keeping track of the HTF framework.
Explanation of Killzones
Killzones refer to the times when major financial markets are open and active, particularly the London and New York sessions. For example, the London Open Killzone typically runs from 2:00 AM to 4:00 AM Eastern Time, while the New York Killzone is often from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM Eastern Time. During these times, traders can expect more significant price movements due to higher trading volumes and the overlap of market participants.
The X-Levels indicator includes customizable killzone delineations, allowing traders to tailor this setting to their preferred trading sessions.
Key Opening Prices
Finally, the X-Levels indicator also includes Opening Price Delineations in both Horizontal and Vertical delineation. The "opening price" in trading refers to the first price at which a security is traded when the market opens. This price is significant because it can set the tone for the day's trading and is often used as a reference point for analyzing market movements. We are tracking midnight open, 8:30am and 9:30am. This is due to Midnight Theory.
Midnight Theory:
This is following the principles of Power of 3 (PO3) where if a trader is seeking a bullish expansion on a daily candle he is looking to frame entries below the midnight opening price. The principle of midnight theory comes in the form of buying at a hypothetical discount. A trade entering below midnight would be considered a discount, below midnight and 9:30am on a bullish day would be considered a deep discount.
Settings Summary:
Dealing Ranges: Traders can choose which Timeframe to track and can choose up to a maximum of 3 per chart. The styles of which are fully customizable. Solid lines, dotted lines or dashed lines are all available options for presenting each X-Level on each Dealing Range.
Dealing Range Labels: Above and below each Dealing Range extreme, analysts can find a label marking what Timeframe it originates from to differentiate between multiple Dealing Ranges. The size of this label can be hidden, and if shown its size can be customized.
Customizable Colors: Each Dealing Range Discount, Fair Value, and Premium, can be customized at the choice of the trader to suit their preferences.
Manual Dealing Range: If a trader would like to manually set their own Dealing Range, they can do so by marking the beginning of the Dealing Range view window visually through a tailored Manual Dealing Range setting.
Table Presentation: A table that can be presented in different locations on the chart, showing the percentages in relation to where price is trading in any given active Dealing Range. This is an incredibly useful tool for those wanting to see where they sit across Timeframes quickly.
Killzone Delineations: Traders can customize the Times of their preferred Killzones, whether conventional sessions, or their own preference. Their individual colors can also be customized to the trader's liking and preference.
Opening Prices: Traders can customize the colours to suit preferences and change the line thickness, plus adjust and label size.
Conclusion
The X-Levels Indicator is a powerful tool designed to streamline and enhance a trader’s ability to identify key price levels, track Dealing Ranges automatically, and highlight opportunities around Premium and Discount. By automating the measurement of dealing ranges and dynamically updating X-Levels across multiple Timeframes, this indicator eliminates the need for manual calculations, saving Time and allowing traders to focus on narrative.

💻 Technical Code Breakdown
1. Core Calculations
// Base calculations for EMAs
ema_1 = ta.ema(close, ema_length_1)
ema_2 = ta.ema(close, ema_length_2)
ema_3 = ta.ema(close, ema_length_3)
ema_4 = ta.ema(close, ema_length_4)
// Proximity calculation for entry validation
ema_prox_raw = math.abs(close - ema_1) / ema_1 * 100
is_close_to_ema_long = close > ema_1 and ema_prox_raw <= prox_percent
```
### 2. Squeeze Detection System
```pine
// Bollinger Bands setup
BB_basis = ta.sma(close, length)
BB_dev = ta.stdev(close, length)
BB_upper = BB_basis + BB_mult * BB_dev
BB_lower = BB_basis - BB_mult * BB_dev
// Keltner Channels setup
KC_basis = ta.sma(close, length)
KC_range = ta.sma(ta.tr, length)
KC_upper_high = KC_basis + KC_range * KC_mult_high
KC_lower_high = KC_basis - KC_range * KC_mult_high
```
### 3. Scoring System Implementation
```pine
// Band Convergence Score
band_ratio = BB_width / KC_width
convergence_score = math.max(0, 40 * (1 - band_ratio))
// Price Position Score
price_range = math.abs(close - KC_basis) / (KC_upper_low - KC_lower_low)
position_score = 20 * (1 - price_range)
// Final Score Calculation
squeeze_score = convergence_score + position_score + vol_score + mom_score
```
### 4. Signal Generation
```pine
// Entry Signal Logic
long_signal = squeeze_release and
is_momentum_positive and
(not use_ema_trend or (bullish_trend and is_close_to_ema_long)) and
is_bullish_candle
short_signal = squeeze_release and
is_momentum_negative and

Daily Bias IndicatorBasic ICT Daily Bias Indicator
When yesterday's price breaks above and closes above the high of the day before yesterday, it indicates a bullish bias.
When yesterday's price tests the low of the day before yesterday but does not break below it, it indicates a bullish bias.
When yesterday's price breaks below and closes below the low of the day before yesterday, it indicates a bearish bias.
When yesterday's price tests the high of the day before yesterday but does not break above it, it indicates a bearish bias.
True Liquidity BlocksSo basically I've been deep diving into liquidity trading concepts similar to ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and developed an indicator that breaks down market movement through a volume-centric lens.
Key Concept:
Markets move not just by price, but by resolving trapped positions
Volume segments, not time intervals, show true market dynamics
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) becomes a key structural reference
What Makes This Different:
Tracks volume segments instead of fixed time frames
Identifies "trapped" trader positions
Measures liquidity level efficiency
Color-codes bars based on nearest liquidity zone
Indicator Features:
Cyan/Red liquidity levels showing buy/sell pressure
Efficiency tracking for each level
Dynamic volume-based segmentation
Bar coloring to show nearest liquidity zone
Theoretical Inspiration: Viewed markets as energy systems where:
Positions create potential energy
Price movement resolves this energy
Trends form through systematic position liquidation
VWAP Recalculation in Each Segment:
Segment Start:
VWAP resets when volume threshold User Inputtable (600,000) is reached
Uses the last 4 price values (High, Low, Close, Close) for calculation
Weighted by volume traded during that segment
Calculation Method:
pineCopy = ta.vwap(hlcc4, na(segment_start) ? true : na, 1)
hlcc4: Combines high, low, close prices
na(segment_start): Ensures reset at new segment
Weighted by volume, not equal time intervals
Key Points:
Dynamic recalculation each segment
Reflects most recent trading activity
Provides real-time fair price reference
Tracks positioning
Essentially, VWAP resets and recalculates with each new volume segment, creating a rolling, volume-weighted average price that maps trader positioning.
BSL (Buy Side Liquidity) and SSL (Sell Side Liquidity) Explained:
When a volume segment closes relative to VWAP, it creates natural positioning traps:
BSL (Cyan) - Created when price closes BELOW THAT SEGMENT'S VWAP:
Bulls are positioned BELOW VWAP (trapped)
Shorts are positioned ABOVE VWAP (In Profit)
SSL (Red) - Created when price closes ABOVE THAT SEGMENT"S VWAP:
Bulls are positioned ABOVE VWAP (trapped)
Shorts are positioned BELOW VWAP (trapped)
Core Mechanism:
VWAP acts as a reference point for trader positioning
Trapped positions create inherent market tension
Levels expand to show accumulating pressure
Color-coded for quick identification of potential move direction
The goal: Visualize where traders are likely "stuck" and must eventually resolve their positions or liquidate other's, driving market movement.
It was just a fun experiment but If ya'll have any thoughts on it or what I could do to improve it, I would appreciate it.
Just a little note, It's optimized for futures, but if u uncheck the "Rest at Futures Open ?" setting, it allow full reign of any asset with volume data.

[Daily] CRT with OHLC Reference Here’s a breakdown of Daily CRT:
1. What is Daily CRT?
Daily CRT focuses on the price action of daily candles, treating them as ranges that can be broken or manipulated.
The theory suggests that certain candles on the daily chart form ranges that act as key levels for price expansion or reversal.
These ranges are not just simple support and resistance levels but are tied to the concept of liquidity draws, where price is likely to move towards areas where liquidity is concentrated (e.g., highs, lows, or key levels).
2. Key Components of Daily CRT
Ranging Candle: The first candle in the CRT setup establishes the range. This candle’s high and low become the key levels to watch.
Manipulation Candle: The second candle often manipulates the range by either breaking it or testing it. This is where turtle soup (false breakouts) can occur.
Distribution Candle: The third candle is where the price either confirms the breakout or reverses, leading to a potential expansion in the opposite direction.
3. How to Use Daily CRT
Identify the Range: On the daily chart, identify a candle that forms a clear range (high and low). This is your Ranging Candle.
Watch for Manipulation: The next candle (Manipulation Candle) will often test or break the range. If it breaks the range but then reverses back inside, it’s a turtle soup (false breakout), indicating a potential reversal.
Trade the Distribution: The third candle (Distribution Candle) is where you look for confirmation. If the price breaks the range and continues in the same direction, it’s a true breakout. If it reverses, it’s a false breakout, and you can trade the reversal.
4. Daily CRT and Key Levels
Daily CRT works best when combined with higher timeframe key levels (e.g., weekly or monthly highs/lows, order blocks, fair value gaps, etc.).
The daily candle ranges often align with these key levels, providing confluence for potential reversals or expansions.
5. Time Alignment in Daily CRT
Time is a critical factor in CRT. The PDF emphasizes that the highest probability CRT setups occur at specific times of the day or week.
For example, the purge (breakout or reversal) of a daily CRT often happens during key trading sessions (e.g., London open, New York open).
6. Practical Steps for Daily CRT
Determine the Draw on Liquidity: Use higher timeframe analysis (weekly or monthly) to identify where price is likely to move (e.g., towards a key level or liquidity pool).
Identify the Daily Range: On the daily chart, mark the high and low of the ranging candle.
Watch for Manipulation: Observe the next candle to see if it breaks the range or tests it. Look for signs of turtle soup (false breakouts).
Trade the Distribution: Once the third candle confirms the direction (either breakout or reversal), enter the trade with proper risk management.
7. Example of Daily CRT
Ranging Candle: On Monday, a daily candle forms a range between 1.1000 (low) and 1.1100 (high).
Manipulation Candle: On Tuesday, the price breaks below 1.1000 but then reverses back above it, forming a turtle soup (false breakout).
Distribution Candle: On Wednesday, the price confirms the reversal by breaking above 1.1100, signaling a potential bullish expansion.
8. Integration with Other Concepts
Daily CRT should not be used in isolation. It works best when combined with other ICT concepts like:
Market Profiles: Understanding whether the market is in a ranging, expansion, or reversal phase.
Orderflow: Identifying bullish or bearish orderflow to confirm the direction of the CRT.
Key Levels: Using higher timeframe key levels to add confluence to the CRT setup.
Time: Aligning the CRT with key times (e.g., London open, New York open) for higher probability setups.
9. Risk Management in Daily CRT
Always use proper risk management when trading CRT setups. The PDF suggests risking no more than 0.5% of your account per trade.
Use stop-losses and position sizing to protect your capital, especially since CRT setups can involve false breakouts (turtle soups).
10. Summary
Daily CRT is a powerful tool for identifying key levels and potential price expansions or reversals on the daily chart.
It involves analyzing three key candles: the Ranging Candle, the Manipulation Candle, and the Distribution Candle.
The theory is most effective when combined with higher timeframe key levels, market profiles, orderflow, and proper time alignment.
By mastering Daily CRT, you can improve your ability to predict market movements and frame high-probability trades.

MMXM ICT [TradingFinder] Market Maker Model PO3 CHoCH/CSID + FVG🔵 Introduction
The MMXM Smart Money Reversal leverages key metrics such as SMT Divergence, Liquidity Sweep, HTF PD Array, Market Structure Shift (MSS) or (ChoCh), CISD, and Fair Value Gap (FVG) to identify critical turning points in the market. Designed for traders aiming to analyze the behavior of major market participants, this setup pinpoints strategic areas for making informed trading decisions.
The document introduces the MMXM model, a trading strategy that identifies market maker activity to predict price movements. The model operates across five distinct stages: original consolidation, price run, smart money reversal, accumulation/distribution, and completion. This systematic approach allows traders to differentiate between buyside and sellside curves, offering a structured framework for interpreting price action.
Market makers play a pivotal role in facilitating these movements by bridging liquidity gaps. They continuously quote bid (buy) and ask (sell) prices for assets, ensuring smooth trading conditions.
By maintaining liquidity, market makers prevent scenarios where buyers are left without sellers and vice versa, making their activity a cornerstone of the MMXM strategy.
SMT Divergence serves as the first signal of a potential trend reversal, arising from discrepancies between the movements of related assets or indices. This divergence is detected when two or more highly correlated assets or indices move in opposite directions, signaling a likely shift in market trends.
Liquidity Sweep occurs when the market targets liquidity in specific zones through false price movements. This process allows major market participants to execute their orders efficiently by collecting the necessary liquidity to enter or exit positions.
The HTF PD Array refers to premium and discount zones on higher timeframes. These zones highlight price levels where the market is in a premium (ideal for selling) or discount (ideal for buying). These areas are identified based on higher timeframe market behavior and guide traders toward lucrative opportunities.
Market Structure Shift (MSS), also referred to as ChoCh, indicates a change in market structure, often marked by breaking key support or resistance levels. This shift confirms the directional movement of the market, signaling the start of a new trend.
CISD (Change in State of Delivery) reflects a transition in price delivery mechanisms. Typically occurring after MSS, CISD confirms the continuation of price movement in the new direction.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) represents zones where price imbalance exists between buyers and sellers. These gaps often act as price targets for filling, offering traders opportunities for entry or exit.
By combining all these metrics, the Smart Money Reversal provides a comprehensive tool for analyzing market behavior and identifying key trading opportunities. It enables traders to anticipate the actions of major players and align their strategies accordingly.
MMBM :
MMSM :
🔵 How to Use
The Smart Money Reversal operates in two primary states: MMBM (Market Maker Buy Model) and MMSM (Market Maker Sell Model). Each state highlights critical structural changes in market trends, focusing on liquidity behavior and price reactions at key levels to offer precise and effective trading opportunities.
The MMXM model expands on this by identifying five distinct stages of market behavior: original consolidation, price run, smart money reversal, accumulation/distribution, and completion. These stages provide traders with a detailed roadmap for interpreting price action and anticipating market maker activity.
🟣 Market Maker Buy Model
In the MMBM state, the market transitions from a bearish trend to a bullish trend. Initially, SMT Divergence between related assets or indices reveals weaknesses in the bearish trend. Subsequently, a Liquidity Sweep collects liquidity from lower levels through false breakouts.
After this, the price reacts to discount zones identified in the HTF PD Array, where major market participants often execute buy orders. The market confirms the bullish trend with a Market Structure Shift (MSS) and a change in price delivery state (CISD). During this phase, an FVG emerges as a key trading opportunity. Traders can open long positions upon a pullback to this FVG zone, capitalizing on the bullish continuation.
🟣 Market Maker Sell Model
In the MMSM state, the market shifts from a bullish trend to a bearish trend. Here, SMT Divergence highlights weaknesses in the bullish trend. A Liquidity Sweep then gathers liquidity from higher levels.
The price reacts to premium zones identified in the HTF PD Array, where major sellers enter the market and reverse the price direction. A Market Structure Shift (MSS) and a change in delivery state (CISD) confirm the bearish trend. The FVG then acts as a target for the price. Traders can initiate short positions upon a pullback to this FVG zone, profiting from the bearish continuation.
Market makers actively bridge liquidity gaps throughout these stages, quoting continuous bid and ask prices for assets. This ensures that trades are executed seamlessly, even during periods of low market participation, and supports the structured progression of the MMXM model.
The price’s reaction to FVG zones in both states provides traders with opportunities to reduce risk and enhance precision. These pullbacks to FVG zones not only represent optimal entry points but also create avenues for maximizing returns with minimal risk.

CandelaCharts - Swing Failure Pattern (SFP)# SWING FAILURE PATTERN
📝 Overview
The Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) indicator is designed to identify and highlight Swing Failure Patterns on a user’s chart. This pattern typically emerges when significant market participants generate liquidity by driving price action to key levels. An SFP occurs when the price temporarily breaks above a resistance level or below a support level, only to quickly reverse and return within the previous range. These movements are often associated with stop-loss hunting or liquidity grabs, providing traders with potential opportunities to anticipate reversals or key market turning points.
A Bullish SFP occurs when the price dips below a key support level, triggering stop-loss orders, but then swiftly reverses upward, signaling a potential upward trend or reversal.
A Bearish SFP happens when the price spikes above a key resistance level, triggering stop-losses of short positions, but then quickly reverses downward, indicating a potential bearish trend or reversal.
The indicator is a powerful tool for traders, helping to identify liquidity grabs and potential reversal points in real-time. Marking bullish and bearish Swing Failure Patterns on the chart, it provides clear visual cues for spotting market traps set by major players, enabling more informed trading decisions and improved risk management.

📒 Usage
The best approach is to combine a few complementary indicators to gain a clearer market perspective. This doesn’t mean relying on the Golden Cross, RSI divergences, SFPs, and funding rates simultaneously, but rather focusing on one or two that align well in a given scenario.
The example above demonstrates the confluence of a Bearish Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) with an RSI divergence. This combination strengthens the signal, as the Bearish SFP indicates a potential reversal after a liquidity grab, while the RSI divergence confirms weakening momentum at the key level. Together, these indicators provide a more robust setup for identifying potential market reversals with greater confidence.

4H CRT (1AM and 5AM)This TradingView script is designed to assist traders in implementing the "4-Hour Candle Ranges Theory Strategy (CRT)" by identifying key levels and setups based on the 1am and 4am (5am) 4-hour candles. This strategy is particularly effective for trading high-volatility assets such as Gold, EUR/USD, NAS100, US30, and S&P500, with US30 showing a notably high win rate. Here's how the strategy works:
Key Features:
1. Marking 1am and 4am 4-Hour Candle Ranges
- The script highlights the high and low of the 1am 4-hour candle.
- It visually tracks whether the high or low of the 1am candle is taken out by the subsequent 4-hour candle (5am).
2. Entry Setup Rules
- Primary Setup: Wait for the high or low of the 1am candle to be taken out by the 5am candle. Once this sweep occurs, wait for a Market Structure Shift (MSS) on the lower time frame (15min) to confirm your entry.
- Secondary Setup: If the 5am candle fails to take out the high or low of the 1am candle, the setup focuses on the levels formed by the 5am candle.
3. Trade Execution on 15-Minute Timeframe
- The script supports a lower time frame (15min) view to identify MSS and fine-tune entries.
4. Rinse and Repeat
- This process can be applied daily for consistent opportunities across the specified assets.
Advantages:
- Provides clear visual markers for key levels based on the 4-hour candles.
- Automates level plotting, saving traders time and reducing manual errors.
- Integrates well with the 15-minute timeframe for precise entry triggers.

CandelaCharts - Volume Imbalance (VI) 📝 Overview
Volume Imbalance occurs when there’s a noticeable gap between the bodies of two consecutive candlesticks, with no overlap between them. While the wicks of the candles might intersect, the candle bodies remain entirely separate. This phenomenon often signifies that the algorithm driving market activity did not evenly distribute prices between these two levels, leaving behind a small Volume Imbalance (VI).
A Bullish Volume Imbalance forms when the body of a green candlestick gaps above the previous candle’s body, with no overlap, indicating strong upward momentum and insufficient sell-side liquidity.
A Bearish Volume Imbalance forms when the body of a red candlestick gaps below the previous candle’s body, with no overlap, signaling intense downward pressure and a lack of buy-side liquidity.
This indicator can automatically identify volume imbalances by scanning candlestick patterns and detecting gaps between consecutive candle bodies. These volume imbalances act as price magnets, often attracting the market back to fill the gap before resuming its original direction. Recognizing and leveraging these gaps can be a powerful tool in technical analysis for predicting price movements.

CandelaCharts - Fair Value Gap (FVG) 📝 Overview
A Fair Value Gap is a three-candle pattern where an unfilled area exists between the high of the first candle and the low of the third candle. This Fair Value Gap represents a price imbalance and often serves as a level of support or resistance on the price chart.
A Bullish FVG occurs when the high of the first candle is below the low of the third candle, creating a gap in price between them.
A Bearish FVG happens when the low of the first candle is above the high of the third candle, also resulting in a price gap.
The indicator is designed to allow traders to precisely and accurately identify Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) across any chosen time frame. Automatically detecting these price imbalances, highlights potential areas where prices may retrace, providing valuable insights into market support and resistance levels. This capability enables traders to make informed decisions based on the presence of FVGs, enhancing their strategies for entry and exit points across different market conditions and time frames.

FVG Chain (Consecutive Fair Value Gaps / Imbalances)This indicator detects fair value gaps that are created out of the touch of older fair value gaps, hence creating an "FVG chain".
It counts +1 for the chain whenever a new price leg's FVG is touched.
You can use the current FVG Chain count, as well as the high, low, and price leg high/low of the current FVG as input source in external indicators. Check the data window to see the plot values.
How FVGs are detected:
Bullish: The low of the current confirmed bar is above the high of 2 bars back.
Bearish: The high of the current confirmed bar is below the low of 2 bars back.
A bullish FVG chain is broken if:
The current FVG's price leg low is broken.
The previous bar closed below the FVG, and the current confirmed bar closed below the previous bar.
A bearish FVG chain is broken if:
The current FVG's price leg high is broken.
The previous bar closed above the FVG, and the current confirmed bar closed above the previous bar.
Breakaway Fair Value Gaps [LuxAlgo]The Breakaway Fair Value Gap (FVG) is a typical FVG located at a point where the price is breaking new Highs or Lows.
🔶 USAGE
In the screenshot above, the price range is visualized by Donchian Channels.
In theory, the Breakaway FVGs should generally be a good indication of market participation, showing favor in the FVG's breaking direction. This is a combination of buyers or sellers pushing markets quickly while already at the highest high or lowest low in recent history.
While this described reasoning seems conventional, looking into it inversely seems to reveal a more effective use of these formations.
When the price is pushed to the extremities of the current range, the price is already potentially off balance and over-extended. Then an FVG is created, extending the price further out of balance.
With this in consideration, After identifying a Breakaway FVG, we could logically look for a reversion to re-balance the gap.
However, it would be illogical to believe that the FVG will immediately mitigate after formation. Because of this, the dashboard display for this indicator shows the analysis for the mitigation likelihood and timeliness.
In the example above, the information in the dashboard would read as follows (Bearish example):
Out of 949 Bearish Breakaway FVGs, 80.19% are shown to be mitigated within 60 bars, with the average mitigation time being 13 bars.
The other 19.81% are not mitigated within 60 bars. This could mean the FVG was mitigated after 60 bars, or it was never mitigated.
The unmitigated FVGs within the analysis window will extend their mitigation level to the current bar. We can see the number of bars since the formation is represented to the right of the live mitigation level.
Utilizing the current distance readout helps to better judge the likelihood of a level being mitigated.
Additionally, when considering these mitigation levels as targets, an additional indicator or analysis can be used to identify specific entries, which would further aid in a system's reliability.
