ICT Immediate Rebalance [LuxAlgo]The ICT Immediate Rebalance aims at detecting and highlighting immediate rebalances, a concept taught by Inner Circle Trader. The ICT Immediate Rebalance, although frequently overlooked, emerges as one of ICT's most influential concepts, particularly when considered within a specific context.
🔶 USAGE
Immediate rebalances, a concept taught by ICT, hold significant importance in decision-making. To comprehend the concept of immediate rebalance, it's essential to grasp the notion of the fair value gap. A fair value gap arises from market inefficiencies or imbalances, whereas an immediate rebalance leaves no gap, no inefficiencies, or no imbalances that the price would need to return to.
Following an immediate rebalance, the typical expectation is for two extension candles to ensue; failing this, the immediate rebalance is deemed unsuccessful. It's important to note that both failed and successful immediate rebalances hold significance in trading when analyzed within a contextual framework.
Immediate rebalances can manifest across various locations and timeframes. It's recommended to analyze them in conjunction with other ICT tools or technical indicators to gain a more comprehensive understanding of market dynamics.
🔹 Multi Timeframe
The script facilitates multi-timeframe analysis, enabling users to display immediate rebalances from higher timeframes.

Institutional Supply and Demand ZonesThis indicator aims to identify price levels where institutional investors have positioned their buy or sell orders. These buy orders establish "demand zones," while sell orders create "supply zones." Identifying these zones enables us to anticipate potential reversals in price trends, allowing us to profitably engage in these significant market movements alongside major institutions. These zones are formed when price action goes from balanced to imbalanced. These zones are based on orders. Unlike standard support and resistance levels, when price breaks below a demand zone or above a supply zone, these zones disappear from the chart.
Supply is formed by a green candle followed by a major red candle that is at least double the size of previous green candle. The zone is then charted from the open of the green candle to the highest point in the candle. Vice versa for a demand zone (red into green).
These zones are traded by:
1. Look for a volume spike in a zone
2. A trend/trendline break out of the zone
ICT HTF Candles [Source Code] (fadi)Plotting a configurable higher timeframe on current chart's timeframe helps visualize price movement without changing timeframes. It also plots FVG and Volume Imbalance on the higher timeframe for easier visualization.
With ICT concepts, we usually wait for HTF break of structure and then find an entry on a lower timeframe. With this indicator, we can set it to the HTF and watch the develop of price action until the break of structure happens. We can then take an entry on the current timeframe.
Settings
HTF Higher timeframe to plot
Number of candles to display The number of higher timeframe candles to display to the right of current price action
Body/Border/Wick The candle colors for the body, border, and wick
Padding from current candles The distance from current timeframe's candles
Space between candles Increase / decrease the candle spacing
Candle width The size of the candles
Imbalance
Fair Value Gap Show / Hide FVG on the higher timeframe
Volume Imbalance Show / Hide Volume Imbalance on the higher timeframe

Bar Magnified Volume Profile/Fixed Range [ChartPrime]This indicator draws a volume profile by utilizing data from the lower timeframe to get a more accurate representation of where volume occurred on a bar to bar basis. The indicator creates a price range, and then splits that price range into 100 grids by default. The indicator then drops down to the lower timeframe, approximately 16 times lower than the current timeframe being viewed on the chart, and then parses through all of the lower timeframe bars, and attributes the lower timeframe bar volume to all grids that it is touching. The volume is dispersed proportionally to the grids which it is touching by whatever percent of the candle is inside each grid. For example, if one of the lower timeframe bars is interacting with "2" of the grids in the profile, and 60% of the candle is inside of the top grid, 60% of the volume from said candle will be attributed to the grid.
To make all of this magic happen, this script utilizes a quadratic time complexity algorithm while parsing and attributing the volume to all of the grids. Due to this type of algorithm being used in the script, many of the user inputs have been limited to allow for simplicity, but also to prevent possible errors when executing loops. For the most part, all of the settings have been thoroughly tested and configured with the right amount of limitations to prevent these errors, but also still give the user a broad range of flexibility to adjust the script to their liking.
📗 SETTINGS
Lookback Period: The lookback period determines how many bars back the script will search for the "highest high" and the "lowest low" which will then be used to generate the grids in-between
Number Of Levels: This setting determines how many grids there will be within the volume profile/fixed range. This is personal preference, however it is capped at 100 to prevent time complexity issues
Profile Length: This setting allows you to stretch or thin the volume profile. A higher number will stretch it more, vise versa a smaller number will thin it further. This does not change the volume profiles results or values, only its visual appearance.
Profile Offset: This setting allows you to offset the profile to the left or right, in the event the user does not appreciate the positioning of the default location of the profile. A higher number will shift it to the right, vise versa a lower number will shift it to the left. This is personal preference and does not affect the results or values of the profile.
🧰 UTILITY
The volume profile/fixed range can be used in many ways. One of the most popular methods is to identify high volume areas on the chart to be used as trade entries or exits in the event of the price revisiting the high volume areas. Take this picture as an example. The image clearly demonstrates how the 2 highest areas of volume within this magnified volume profile also line up to great areas of support and resistance in the market.

FVG SizeFVG Size Indicator – Description
Overview
This Pine Script v5 indicator detects and visualizes Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on the chart. It draws colored boxes for FVGs, center lines (CE), and displays the size of each FVG as a label. The indicator is designed for manual analysis, helping traders identify potential price imbalances.
Key Features
FVG Detection:
Identifies bullish and bearish FVGs based on price structure.
Draws colored boxes for FVGs and dotted center lines (CE).
FVG Size Display:
Shows the size of each FVG as a label inside the box.
Customizable minimum size threshold to filter out smaller FVGs.
Dynamic Adjustments:
Extends FVG boxes to the right as new bars form.
Removes FVGs that are filled (mitigated) by price action.
Customizable Settings:
Adjustable colors, text size, and display options.
Settings and Translations
Here are the German settings with their English translations:
FVG Settings
Long FVG Farbe → Long FVG Color (Color for bullish FVG boxes)
Short FVG Farbe → Short FVG Color (Color for bearish FVG boxes)
CE Farbe → CE Color (Color for the center line)
Tage Rückblick → Lookback Days (Number of days to look back for FVGs)
Lösche gefüllte Boxen & Linien → Delete Filled Boxes & Lines (Removes FVGs that have been filled by price)
FVG Display
FVG Größe anzeigen → Show FVG Size (Displays the size of each FVG as a label)
Text → Text Size (Size of the FVG size label text)
Mindestgröße → Minimum Size (Minimum FVG size to display, filtering out smaller FVGs)
How It Works
FVG Detection Logic:
A bullish FVG is detected if the high of the 3rd bar is lower than the low of the 1st bar.
A bearish FVG is detected if the low of the 3rd bar is higher than the high of the 1st bar.
Drawing FVGs:
The indicator draws a box between the high/low of the 1st and 3rd bars.
A center line (CE) is drawn at the midpoint of the FVG.
The size of the FVG is displayed as a label inside the box.
Dynamic Adjustments:
FVG boxes are extended to the right as new bars form.
If the price fills the FVG, the box and line are removed (depending on settings).
Mitigation Logic:
If the price closes beyond the FVG boundaries, the FVG is considered "filled" and removed.

Multi-TF 👀### Multi-Timeframe Analysis (MTF-Analysis)
**Overview**
The Multi-Timeframe Analysis indicator is a powerful visualization tool designed for traders who incorporate multi-timeframe (MTF) strategies into their decision-making process. It overlays compact, customizable candle representations from up to four higher timeframes directly on your chart, positioned to the right of the last bar for quick reference. This allows you to monitor price action, momentum via EMAs, and key levels like Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) across multiple resolutions without switching charts. Built with efficiency in mind, it supports automatic timeframe detection, real-time updates, and a clean, non-intrusive design that enhances your trading workflow.
Ideal for day traders, swing traders, and scalpers, this indicator helps identify alignments between timeframes, spot potential reversals or continuations, and validate entries/exits based on higher-timeframe context. It leverages Pine Script v6 for smooth performance, with optimizations to handle up to 5000 bars back and extensive drawing limits.
**Key Features**
- **Multi-Timeframe Candle Display**: Renders recent candles (configurable from 5 to 100 per timeframe) from selected higher timeframes (e.g., 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H) as compact bars with customizable width, spacing, and padding. Bullish and bearish candles are color-coded for instant recognition.
- **Automatic Timeframe Adaptation**: When enabled, the indicator intelligently selects complementary timeframes based on your chart's resolution (e.g., on a 1m chart, it might show 5m, 15m, and 1H). Manual overrides are available for full control.
- **EMA Overlays**: Plots EMA9, EMA21, and EMA50 on each MTF section using a user-defined source (e.g., OHLC/4, close). EMAs can be dashed for clarity and enabled/disabled per timeframe, helping to gauge momentum and trend strength.
- **Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)**: Detects bullish (+FVG) and bearish (-FVG) gaps with a configurable lookback length (5-50 bars). Gaps are visualized as dotted boxes extending from the candle, highlighting potential support/resistance zones or imbalances.
- **Time Labels and Debugging**: Displays timestamp labels under every fourth candle for chronological context. A debug mode expands spacing and adds detailed labels (e.g., OHLC, volume, EMA values) for testing and verification.
- **Customization Options**: Extensive inputs for colors (bodies, wicks, EMAs, FVGs), label sizes/styles, and layout ensure seamless integration with your chart theme. Supports futures symbols with a time offset adjustment.
- **Performance Optimizations**: Uses arrays for efficient data management, clears drawings on realtime updates or timeframe changes, and limits buffer sizes to prevent overload.
**How to Use**
1. Add the indicator to your chart via TradingView's "Indicators" menu.
2. Configure timeframes: Enable/disable up to four TFs and set the number of candles to display. Use "Auto Timeframe" for smart defaults.
3. Adjust EMAs: Select the source type and toggle per TF to focus on relevant momentum signals (e.g., EMA9 crossovers for short-term trades).
4. Enable FVGs: Activate per TF and tweak the length to suit your market (shorter for volatile assets, longer for trends).
5. Fine-tune appearance: Modify padding, candle width, and colors to avoid clutter. Use debug mode during setup.
6. Interpret: Align your chart's price action with MTF candles—look for confluence in trends, FVGs filling as support/resistance, or EMA alignments for high-probability setups.
**Input Settings**
- **General**: Hour offset for time adjustments (useful for futures).
- **Timeframes**: Enable TFs 1-4, select resolutions (e.g., "5m"), and set candle counts. Auto mode simplifies this.
- **FVG/iFVG**: Toggle per TF, customize colors and detection length.
- **EMA**: Enable per TF, choose source, colors, and dashed style.
- **Candle Appearance**: Bull/bear colors for bodies/wicks, width/spacing/padding, label size/color.
- **Debug**: Expands view for detailed inspection.
**Notes**
- This indicator is non-repainting and updates in realtime, but performance may vary on lower timeframes with many candles—reduce counts if needed.
- FVGs are calculated locally on recent bars for efficiency; historical gaps beyond the buffer aren't shown.
- Compatible with all symbols, but best on volatile markets like forex, crypto, or indices.
- Feedback welcome—updates may include more MA types or advanced FVG filters.

Funding Rate Aggregated (Lite)Funding Rate Aggregated (Lite) provides traders with a consolidated view of perpetual futures funding rates across multiple major exchanges. Instead of monitoring each market individually, the script aggregates the available data into a single, average funding rate series—streamlining analysis and helping identify market-wide positioning imbalances.
The indicator supports Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, and Coinbase, with user-controlled toggles to enable or disable specific venues. For exchanges offering multiple quote currencies (e.g., USDT, USD, or USDC pairs) inclusion is based on whether their trading activity (volume) is relevant (determined manually, not via code). Each available rate is checked and included in the calculation only if valid, ensuring the average reflects actual market conditions.
From a technical standpoint, the script:
Retrieves real-time funding rate data directly via request.security for the current symbol’s base currency.
Applies standard formatting similar to TradingView's official indicator.
Visualizes the average funding rate with color-coded plotting (green for positive, red for negative), alongside a neutral zero reference line.
Why it is useful:
Funding rates are a direct measure of long/short market bias in perpetual swaps. Persistently high positive rates often indicate overcrowded longs, while negative rates can reveal excessive shorting.
By combining multiple exchanges into one metric, traders gain a more robust signal, reducing noise from isolated exchange-specific anomalies.
This aggregated perspective can assist in timing contrarian trades, spotting funding-driven inefficiencies, and gauging overall market sentiment.
Applications in trading include:
Sentiment analysis: Assess whether perpetual futures traders are leaning heavily long or short.
Cross-exchange confirmation: Ensure that extreme funding isn’t confined to a single venue.
Risk management: Identify periods of elevated funding costs that may erode profitability in longer-term positions.
Strategy filters: Integrate the aggregated rate as a condition for entries/exits, or to adjust position sizing during extremes.
The Lite designation emphasizes simplicity and efficiency: the indicator avoids unnecessary visual and data-driven clutter and focuses on delivering one clear, aggregated signal that can be adapted to a wide range of trading styles.
CVD Spaghetti - Multi-Exchange (Perpetuals)CVD Spaghetti – Multi-Exchange (Perpetuals) is designed to track and visualize Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) across multiple cryptocurrency perpetual futures exchanges in one consolidated view. This indicator provides traders with a clearer perspective on buying and selling pressure by monitoring how order flow develops on different venues simultaneously.
What it does
The script calculates the CVD for each enabled exchange and plots them as separate lines on a single chart, creating a “spaghetti” style visualization. This allows traders to identify relative strength or weakness between major exchanges, which can often hint at institutional positioning, liquidity shifts, and potential market imbalances.
Why it’s useful
Order flow and liquidity dynamics can differ significantly between exchanges. By aggregating and comparing these flows, traders can:
Detect which venue is leading during trend development.
Spot divergences between exchanges, which may indicate inefficiencies or arbitrage-driven movements.
Gauge overall sentiment strength by comparing multiple sources instead of relying on a single dataset.
Technical details
Anchor Period Reset: The cumulative calculation resets based on the user-defined Anchor Period (default: daily), keeping data relevant for the chosen trading horizon.
Dynamic Resolution: The script automatically selects an appropriate lower timeframe for data requests based on the chart timeframe to maintain responsiveness and accuracy.
Normalization: Not all exchanges report volume in the same way—some use quote currency (USD), others in contracts or ticks. To ensure comparability, this indicator normalizes volumes where necessary:
Bybit USD and OKX contracts are divided by price to approximate base-coin terms.
Single-contract venues (e.g., Deribit) are normalized similarly.
Exchanges already reporting in the base currency remain unchanged.
Multi-Exchange Coverage: Supports major venues including Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, Coinbase, and optional secondary exchanges like Blofin, Whitebit, and Deribit.
Visual Aids:
Zero baseline for directional reference.
Vertical session markers at each reset point.
Optional exchange labels positioned dynamically on the last bar for quick identification.
How traders might use it
Trend confirmation: Strong synchronized CVD across all major exchanges supports continuation; fragmentation may suggest weakening conviction.
Cross-exchange divergence: When one exchange’s CVD diverges from others, it can signal localized liquidity shocks or large player activity.
High-frequency strategies: On lower timeframes, the spaghetti view can highlight which venue is absorbing or providing liquidity fastest, aiding short-term decision-making.

Wick Pressure Zones [BigBeluga]
The Wick Pressure Zones indicator highlights areas where extreme wick activity occurred, signaling strong buy or sell pressure. By measuring unusually long upper or lower wicks and mapping them into gradient volume zones , the tool helps traders identify levels where liquidity was absorbed, leaving behind footprints of supply and demand imbalances. These zones often act as support, resistance, or liquidity sweep magnets .
🔵 CONCEPTS
Extreme Wicks : Large upper or lower shadows indicate aggressive rejection — upper wicks suggest selling pressure, lower wicks suggest buying pressure.
Volumatic Gradient Zones : From each detected wick, the indicator projects a layered gradient zone, proportional to the wick’s size, showing where most pressure occurred.
Liquidity Footprints : These zones mark levels where significant buy/sell volume was executed, often becoming reaction points on future retests.
Automatic Expiration : Zones persist until price decisively trades through them, after which they are cleared to keep the chart clean.
🔵 FEATURES
Automatic Wick Detection : Identifies extreme upper and lower wick events using percentile filtering and Realative Strength Index.
Gradient Zone Visualization : Builds a 10-layer zone from the wick top/bottom, shading intensity according to pressure strength.
Volume Labels : Each zone is annotated with the bar’s volume at the origin point for added context.
Dynamic Zone Extension : Zones extend to the right as long as they remain relevant; once price closes through them, they are removed.
Support & Resistance Mapping : Upper wick zones (red) behave like supply/resistance, lower wick zones (green) like demand/support.
Clutter Control : Limits the number of active zones (default 10) to keep charts responsive.
Background Highlighting : Optional background shading when new wick zones appear (red for sell, green for buy).
🔵 HOW TO USE
Look for Upper Wick Zones (red) : Indicate strong selling pressure; watch for resistance, reversals, or liquidity sweeps above.
Look for Lower Wick Zones (green) : Indicate strong buying pressure; watch for support or liquidity sweeps below.
Trade Retests : When price returns to a zone, expect a reaction (bounce or rejection) due to leftover liquidity.
Combine with Context : Align wick pressure zones with HTF support/resistance, order blocks, or volume profile for stronger signals.
Use Volume Labels : High-volume wicks indicate more significant liquidity events, making the zone more likely to act as a strong reaction point.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Wick Pressure Zones is a powerful way to visualize hidden liquidity and aggressive rejections. By mapping extreme wick events into dynamic, volume-annotated zones, it shows traders where the market absorbed heavy buy/sell pressure. These levels frequently act as magnets or turning points, making them valuable for timing entries, stop placement, or fade strategies.
UDVR + OBV Combo — MTF (v6)The UDVR + OBV Combo is a multi-timeframe volume analysis tool that blends the Up/Down Volume Ratio with a normalized On-Balance Volume signal. It highlights when accumulation or distribution truly supports price action, adds higher-timeframe context, and shades the background when both indicators align. Use it to confirm breakouts, spot divergences, and filter trades with the backing of real volume flows.
1.Up/Down Volume Ratio (UDVR)
•Compares the rolling sum of up-volume (bars where price closed higher) vs down-volume (bars where price closed lower).
•A ratio > 1.0 = more accumulation (bullish pressure).
•A ratio < 1.0 = more distribution (bearish pressure).
•Optional histogram shows deviations from the 1.0 baseline.
•Customizable handling of equal closes (count as up, down, split, or ignore).
•Configurable lookback length and optional EMA smoothing.
2. On-Balance Volume (OBV)
•Classic cumulative OBV implemented natively (adds volume on up-bars, subtracts on down-bars).
•Normalized with a z-score so it can be compared across different symbols/timeframes.
•Includes an EMA signal line for slope detection.
•Alignment of OBV vs its EMA highlights rising or waning participation.
3. Multi-Timeframe Support
•Both UDVR and OBV can be plotted from a higher timeframe (HTF) (e.g. Daily UDVR shown on a 1h chart).
•Lets you see big-money accumulation/distribution while trading intraday.
•Shaded background when current TF and HTF agree (both bullish or both bearish).
How to read it
• Bullish confirmation = UDVR > 1 (accumulation) and OBV above EMA (rising participation).
• Bearish confirmation = UDVR < 1 (distribution) and OBV below EMA (falling participation).
• Mixed signals (e.g. UDVR > 1 but OBV falling) = caution; price may lack conviction.
• Divergences : If price makes a new high but OBV or UDVR does not, it’s a warning of weakening trend.
• Higher timeframe context : set HTF = Daily or Weekly and watch how short-term signals align with institutional flows. A long trade on the 15m chart is stronger when Daily UDVR is also above 1.
Inputs
•UDVR Lookback: number of bars for rolling volume sums.
•Smoothing EMA: smooths UDVR for stability.
•Equal Close Handling: decide how equal closes affect UDVR.
•Signal Band: optional UDVR extreme thresholds.
•Show Histogram: toggle UDVR histogram around baseline.
•Higher Timeframe UDVR: overlay Daily/Weekly UDVR on lower timeframe charts.
•OBV EMA length: slope proxy for normalized OBV.
•OBV Normalization window: controls z-score sensitivity.
•Higher Timeframe OBV: overlay higher timeframe OBV.
Alerts
•UDVR Bullish/Bearish cross at the 1.0 baseline.
•OBV slope up/down when OBV crosses its EMA.
•Alignment signals when UDVR and OBV agree (both confirm bullish or bearish conditions).
Why it’s useful
•Combines trend, momentum, and participation in one place.
•Helps avoid false breakouts by checking if volume supports the move.
•Lets you spot accumulation/distribution shifts before they show up in price.
•Gives a higher timeframe context so you’re not trading against the “big picture.”
Once applied, the indicator creates a dedicated pane below price with the following components:
UDVR Line (green/red)
• Green when UDVR > 1.0 (more up-volume than down-volume → accumulation).
• Red when UDVR < 1.0 (more down-volume → distribution).
UDVR Baseline and Bands
• Grey baseline at 1.0 = balance between buying and selling volume.
• Optional upper/lower bands (default 1.5 and 0.67) highlight extreme imbalances.
• Shaded areas between baseline and bands provide visual context for strength/weakness.
UDVR Histogram (optional)
• Columns around the baseline showing (UDVR – 1.0).
• Quick way to gauge how far above/below balance the ratio is.
Higher-Timeframe UDVR (teal line)
• Overlays the UDVR from a higher timeframe (e.g. Daily) on your intraday chart.
• Lets you see whether institutional flows support your shorter-term signals.
OBV Normalized (blue/orange line)
• Classic OBV, but normalized with a z-score so it stays readable across assets.
• Blue when OBV is above its EMA (rising participation).
• Orange when below its EMA (waning participation).
OBV EMA (grey line)
• Signal line showing the slope of OBV.
• Crosses between OBV and this line mark shifts in participation.
Higher-Timeframe OBV (purple line, optional)
• Plots OBV from a higher timeframe for additional context.
Background Shading
• Light green = both UDVR > 1 and OBV > OBV-EMA (bullish alignment).
• Light red = both UDVR < 1 and OBV < OBV-EMA (bearish alignment).

2️⃣ It Finds a Match: It looks at the most recent price action and searches through hundreds of historical bars to find moments that were almost identical.
3️⃣ It Analyzes the Outcome: It checks what happened next in those similar historical scenarios.
4️⃣ It Predicts: Based on that historical data, it calculates the probability of each potential outcome and presents it to you.
🚀 How to Use This Indicator in Your Trading
Confirmation Tool: Use a high probability score (e.g., >60% for a HH) to confirm your own bullish analysis before entering a trade.
Finding High-Probability Zones: Use the Prediction Zones as potential areas to take profit, or as reversal zones to watch for entries in the opposite direction.
Gauging Market Sentiment: Check the "Market Phase" on the dashboard. Avoid forcing trades when the indicator shows "😴 Low Volatility."
Confluence is Key: This indicator is incredibly powerful when combined with your existing strategy. Use it alongside supply/demand zones, moving averages, or RSI for ultimate confirmation.
We hope this tool gives you a powerful new perspective on the market. Dive into the settings to customize it to your liking!

Buy/Sell Volume BalanceDESCRIPTION
Buy/Sell Volume Balance is a simple yet powerful indicator designed to measure and visualize the balance between buying and selling volume over a customizable number of recent candles. It helps traders quickly assess market pressure during consolidation phases or ranges, in order to anticipate the most likely breakout direction.
How it works
The indicator analyzes the last N candles (default = 100, user-editable).
Each candle’s total volume is classified as:
Bullish volume (Buy volume): if the candle closes above or equal to its open.
Bearish volume (Sell volume): if the candle closes below its open.
The volumes are summed separately to calculate:
Total Buy Volume
Total Sell Volume
The percentage of each side relative to the total is also displayed.
All results are shown in a fixed table at the top of the chart for quick interpretation.
Purpose
This tool is specifically designed to help traders evaluate the internal battle between buyers and sellers during a range or sideways market. By understanding which side is accumulating more volume within the range, traders can anticipate which direction is more likely when the price breaks out.
If Buy volume dominates → potential bullish breakout.
If Sell volume dominates → potential bearish breakout.
If both sides are nearly balanced, it signals indecision and a higher chance of false breakouts.
Imbalance Threshold
In practice, traders often consider a clear imbalance when one side reaches at least 55–60% of the total volume.
Above this threshold, the dominant side is more likely to dictate the breakout direction.
Below this threshold, the market is usually in indecision and further confirmation is needed before acting.
How to use it
Add the indicator to your chart and choose the lookback period (number of candles).
Focus on ranges or consolidation zones where price is moving sideways.
Observe the balance of Buy vs Sell volume in the top-right box:
A clear imbalance (>55–60%) suggests the stronger side is more likely to push the breakout.
A balanced ratio (<55–60%) indicates indecision and possible false breakouts.
Use it in combination with support/resistance zones, breakout patterns, or volume spikes for best results.
✅ In summary: This indicator does not give direct buy/sell signals, but it provides valuable context about market pressure, helping you to align your trades with the most probable breakout direction.
Trapped Traders [ScorsoneEnterprises]This indicator identifies and visualizes trapped traders - market participants caught on the wrong side of price movements with significant volume imbalances. By analyzing volume delta at specific price levels, it reveals where traders are likely experiencing unrealized losses and may be forced to exit their positions.
The point of this tool is to identify where the liquidity in a trend may be.
var lowerTimeframe = switch
useCustomTimeframeInput => lowerTimeframeInput
timeframe.isseconds => "1S"
timeframe.isintraday => "1"
timeframe.isdaily => "5"
=> "60"
= ta.requestVolumeDelta(lowerTimeframe)
price_quantity = map.new()
is_red_candle = close < open
is_green_candle = close > open
for i=0 to lkb-1 by 1
current_vol = price_quantity.get(close)
new_vol = na(current_vol) ? lastVolume : current_vol + lastVolume
price_quantity.put(close, new_vol)
if is_green_candle and new_vol < 0
price_quantity.put(close, new_vol)
else if is_red_candle and new_vol > 0
price_quantity.put(close, new_vol)
We see in this snippet, the lastVolume variable is the most recent volume delta we can receive from the lower timeframe, we keep updating the price level we're keeping track of with that lastVolume from the lower timeframe.
This is the bulk of the concept as this level and size gives us the idea of how many traders were on the wrong side of the trend, and acting as liquidity for the profitable entries. The more, the stronger.
There are 3 ways to visualize this. A basic label, that will display the size and if positive or negative next to the bar, a gradient line that goes 10 bars to the future to be used as a support or resistance line that includes the quantity, and a bubble chart with the quantity. The larger the quantity, the bigger the bubble.
We see in this example on NYMEX:CL1! that there are lines plotted throughout this price action that price interacts with in meaningful way. There are consistently many levels for us.
Here on CME_MINI:ES1! we see the labels on the chart, and the size set to large. It is the same concept just another way to view it.
This chart of CME_MINI:RTY1! shows the bubble chart visualization. It is a way to view it that is pretty non invasive on the chart.
Every timeframe is supported including daily, weekly, and monthly.
The included settings are the display style, like mentioned above. If the user would like to see the volume numbers on the chart. The text size along with the transparency percentage. Following that is the settings for which lower timeframe to calculate the volume delta on. Finally, if you would like to see your inputs in the status line.
No indicator is 100% accurate, use "Trapped Traders" along with your own discretion.

Utilizing advanced price level segmentation, bullish/bearish volume separation, and dynamic range analysis, the Volume Profile Grid delivers comprehensive market structure insights with Point of Control (POC) identification, Value Area boundaries, and volume delta analysis. The system features intelligent visualization modes, real-time sentiment analysis, and flexible range selection to provide traders with clear, actionable volume-based market context.
🔶 Dynamic Range Analysis Engine
Implements dual-mode range selection with visible chart analysis and fixed period lookback, automatically adjusting to current market view or analyzing specified historical periods. The system intelligently calculates optimal bar counts while maintaining performance through configurable maximum limits, ensuring responsive profile generation across all timeframes with institutional-grade precision.
// Dynamic period calculation with intelligent caching
get_analysis_period() =>
if i_use_visible_range
chart_start_time = chart.left_visible_bar_time
current_time = last_bar_time
time_span = current_time - chart_start_time
tf_seconds = timeframe.in_seconds()
estimated_bars = time_span / (tf_seconds * 1000)
range_bars = math.floor(estimated_bars)
final_bars = math.min(range_bars, i_max_visible_bars)
math.max(final_bars, 50) // Minimum threshold
else
math.max(i_periods, 50)
🔶 Advanced Bull/Bear Volume Separation
Employs sophisticated candle classification algorithms to separate bullish and bearish volume at each price level, with weighted distribution based on bar intersection ratios. The system analyzes open/close relationships to determine volume direction, applying proportional allocation for doji patterns and ensuring accurate representation of buying versus selling pressure across the entire price spectrum.
🔶 Multi-Mode Volume Visualization
Features three distinct display modes for bull/bear volume representation: Split mode creates mirrored profiles from a central axis, Side by Side mode displays sequential bull/bear segments, and Stacked mode separates volumes vertically. Each mode offers unique insights into market participant behavior with customizable width, thickness, and color parameters for optimal visual clarity.
// Bull/Bear volume calculation with weighted distribution
for bar_offset = 0 to actual_periods - 1
bar_high = high
bar_low = low
bar_volume = volume
// Calculate intersection weight
weight = math.min(bar_high, next_level) - math.max(bar_low, current_level)
weight := weight / (bar_high - bar_low)
weighted_volume = bar_volume * weight
// Classify volume direction
if bar_close > bar_open
level_bull_volume += weighted_volume
else if bar_close < bar_open
level_bear_volume += weighted_volume
else // Doji handling
level_bull_volume += weighted_volume * 0.5
level_bear_volume += weighted_volume * 0.5
🔶 Point of Control & Value Area Detection
Implements institutional-standard POC identification by locating the price level with maximum volume accumulation, providing critical support/resistance zones. The Value Area calculation uses sophisticated sorting algorithms to identify the price range containing 70% of trading volume, revealing the market's accepted value zone where institutional participants concentrate their activity.
🔶 Volume Delta Analysis System
Incorporates real-time volume delta calculation with configurable dominance thresholds to identify significant bull/bear imbalances. The system visually highlights price levels where buying or selling pressure exceeds threshold percentages, providing immediate insight into directional volume flow and potential reversal zones through color-coded delta indicators.
// Value Area calculation using 70% volume accumulation
total_volume_sum = array.sum(total_volumes)
target_volume = total_volume_sum * 0.70
// Sort volumes to find highest activity zones
for i = 0 to array.size(sorted_volumes) - 2
for j = i + 1 to array.size(sorted_volumes) - 1
if array.get(sorted_volumes, j) > array.get(sorted_volumes, i)
// Swap and track indices for value area boundaries
// Accumulate until 70% threshold reached
for i = 0 to array.size(sorted_indices) - 1
accumulated_volume += vol
array.push(va_levels, array.get(volume_levels, idx))
if accumulated_volume >= target_volume
break
❓How It Works
🔶 Weighted Volume Distribution
Implements proportional volume allocation based on the percentage of each bar that intersects with price levels. When a bar spans multiple levels, volume is distributed proportionally based on the intersection ratio, ensuring precise representation of trading activity across the entire price spectrum without double-counting or volume loss.
🔶 Real-Time Profile Generation
Profiles regenerate on each bar close when in visible range mode, automatically adapting to chart zoom and scroll actions. The system maintains optimal performance through intelligent caching mechanisms and selective line updates, ensuring smooth operation even with maximum resolution settings and extended analysis periods.

Smart Money Breakout Channels [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This script draws breakout detection zones called “Smart Money Breakout Channels” based on volatility-normalized price movement and visualizes them as dynamic boxes with volume overlays. It identifies temporary accumulation or distribution ranges using a custom normalized volatility metric and tracks when price breaks out of those zones—either upward or downward. Each channel represents a structured range where smart money may be active, helping traders anticipate key breakouts with added context from volume delta, up/down volume, and a visual gradient gauge for momentum bias.
🟠 CONCEPTS
The script calculates normalized price volatility by measuring the standard deviation of price mapped to a scale using the highest and lowest prices over a set lookback period. When normalized volatility reaches a local low and flips upward, a boxed channel is drawn between the highest and lowest prices in that zone. These boxes persist until price breaks out, either with a strong candle close (configurable) or by touching the boundary. Volume analysis enhances interpretation by rendering delta bars inside the box, showing volume distribution during the channel. Additionally, a real-time visual “gauge” shows where volume delta sits within the channel range, helping users spot pressure imbalances.
🟠 FEATURES
Automatic detection and drawing of breakout channels based on volatility-normalized price pivots.
Optional nested channels to allow multiple simultaneous zones or a clean single-zone view.
Gradient-filled volume gauge with dynamic pointer to show current delta pressure within the box.
Three volume visualization modes: raw volume, comparative up/down volume, and delta.
Alerts for new channel creation and confirmed bullish or bearish breakouts.
🟠 USAGE
Apply the indicator to any chart. Wait for a new breakout box to form—this occurs when volatility behavior shifts and a stable range emerges. Once a box appears, monitor price relative to its boundaries. A breakout above suggests bullish continuation, below suggests bearish continuation; signals are stronger when “Strong Closes Only” is enabled.
Watch the internal volume candles to understand where buy/sell pressure is concentrated during the box. Use the gauge on the right to interpret whether net pressure is building upward or downward before breakout to anticipate the direction.
Use alerts to catch breakout events without needing to monitor the chart constantly 🚨.
Chaithanya Tattva Volume Zones📜 "Chaitanya Tattva" Volume Zones:-
A Sacred Framework of Supply, Demand & Market Energy
In the world of financial markets, price is said to reflect all information. But the true pulse of the market — its life force, its intent, and its moment of truth — is most vividly expressed not in price itself, but in volume.
Chaitanya Tattva Volume Zones is a spiritually inspired volume-based tool that transforms your chart into a canvas of market consciousness, revealing moments where supply and demand engage in visible energetic spikes. These moments are often disguised as ordinary candles, but with this tool, you uncover zones of intent — footprints left by the market’s deeper intelligence.
🌟 Why “Chaitanya Tattva”?
Chaitanya (चैतन्य) is a Sanskrit word meaning consciousness, awareness, or the spark of life energy. It is that which animates — the subtle intelligence behind all movement.
Tattva (तत्त्व) refers to essence, truth, or the underlying principle of a thing. In classical yogic philosophy, the tattvas are the elemental building blocks of reality.
Together, Chaitanya Tattva represents the conscious essence — the living pulse that animates the market through volume surges and imbalances.
This tool is not just a technical indicator — it is a spiritual observation device that aligns with the rhythm of volume and price action. It doesn't predict the market. It reveals when the market has already spoken — loudly, clearly, and energetically.
📈 What Does the Tool Do?
Chaitanya Tattva Volume Zones identifies exceptional volume spikes within the recent price history and visually marks the areas where market intent has been most active.
Specifically, the tool:
Scans for volume spikes that exceed all the volume of the last N bars (default is 20)
Confirms whether the spike happened on a bullish candle (close > open) or bearish candle (close < open)
For a bullish spike, it marks a Supply Zone — the area between the high and close of the candle
For a bearish spike, it marks a Demand Zone — the area between the low and close
Visually paints these zones with soft translucent boxes (red for supply, green for demand) that extend forward across multiple bars
🧘♂️ The Spiritual Framework
🔴 Supply = "Agni" — The Fire of Expansion
When a bullish candle erupts with historically high volume, it symbolizes the fire (Agni) of market optimism and upward expansion. It means that buyers have absorbed available supply at that level and established dominance — but such fire may also signal exhaustion, making it a potential supply barrier if price returns.
These Supply Zones are areas where:
Sellers are likely to re-engage
Smart money may be unloading
Future resistance can be anticipated
But unlike traditional indicators, this tool doesn’t guess. It reacts only to a clear volume-based event — when market energy surges — and locks in that awareness through zone marking.
🟢 Demand = "Prithvi" — The Grounding of Price
On the other hand, a bearish candle with extremely high volume represents the Earth (Prithvi) — grounding the price with firm hands. A strong volume drop often means buyers are stepping in, absorbing the selling pressure.
These Demand Zones are areas where:
Buying interest is proven
Market memory is stored
Future support can be expected
By respecting these zones, you're aligning your trading with natural market boundaries — not theoretical ones.
🧠 How Is It Different from Regular Volume Tools?
While most volume indicators show bars on a lower panel, they leave interpretation up to the trader. “High” or “low” becomes subjective.
Chaitanya Tattva Volume Zones is different:
It quantifies "spike": a bar must exceed all previous N volumes
It qualifies the intent: was the spike bullish or bearish?
It marks zones on the price chart: no need to guess levels
It preserves market memory: the zones persist visually for easy reference
In essence, this tool doesn’t just report volume — it interprets volume’s context and visually encodes it into the chart.
🧘 How to Use
1. Support/Resistance Mapping
Use the tool to understand where volume proved itself. If price revisits a red zone, expect possible rejection (resistance). If price revisits a green zone, expect possible absorption (support).
2. Entry Triggers
You may enter:
Long near demand zones if bullish confirmation appears
Short near supply zones if bearish confirmation appears
3. Stop Placement
Stops can be placed just beyond the zone boundary to align with areas where smart money historically defended.
4. Breakout Confidence
When price breaks through one of these zones with momentum, it often signals a new energetic wave — the old balance has been overcome.
🔔 Key Features
Volume spike detection across any timeframe
Clear visual zones — no clutter, no lag
Highly customizable: zone width, volume lookback, colors
Philosophy-aligned with supply and demand theory, Wyckoff, and Order Flow
🌌 A Metaphysical View of Volume
In yogic science, volume is akin to Prana — life-force energy. A market is not moved by price alone but by intent, force, and participation — all encoded in volume.
Just as a human body pulses with blood when action intensifies, the market pulses with volume when institutional decisions are made.
These pulses become sacred footprints — and Chaitanya Tattva Volume Zones helps you walk mindfully among them.
🔮 Final Thoughts
In a sea of indicators that shout at you with every tick, Chaitanya Tattva is calm. It speaks only when energy concentrates, only when the market sends a signal born of intent.
It doesn’t predict.
It doesn’t repaint.
It simply shows the truth, when the truth becomes undeniable.
Like a sage that speaks only when needed, it waits for volume to prove itself — then draws a memory into space, a zone where traders can re-align their actions with what the market has already honored.
Use it not just to trade —
But to listen.
To observe.
To follow the Chaitanya — the conscious pulse of the market’s own breath.
Volume VA with POC Based Percent DeviationsThis is a slightly different take on my previous version that plotted fibonacci retracement levels based on the POC to value area high/low.
This indicator is also based on the volume value area that plots developing POC, VAH, and VAL as well as historical levels. However, instead of plotting fib levels, this script automatically projects percentage deviation levels from the current POC. This can help identify potential overextensions, target areas, or mean-reversion setups.
Knowing where price is and the change in price relative to areas of interest can help identify true value and market imbalances. Hence the name VALUE AREA :)
The percent deviation levels are dynamically plotted in relation to the developing POC. As POC shifts so do the % levels.
Gradient Value Area Fill: Instead of a static color, the Value Area is filled with a dynamic gradient. The adjustable color and transparency shift is based on the current price's distance from the POC, giving you an intuitive feel for where price is relative to the POC.
Enjoy!

Cumulative Volume Delta📊 Indicator Name:
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) + Candle Divergence (Color DIfference)
📌 Purpose:
This indicator visualizes volume delta over a user-defined time anchor and highlights divergence between volume-based momentum and price movement. It's especially useful for identifying potential reversals, fakeouts, or hidden buying/selling pressure.
🔍 How It Works:
1. Volume Delta Calculation (CVD Candles):
The script uses ta.requestVolumeDelta() to approximate volume delta data over a chosen anchor period (e.g., 1D).
Volume delta = Buy Volume – Sell Volume
Each candle on the CVD chart represents changes in cumulative volume delta, with OHLC-style values:
openVolume: cumulative delta at the start of the bar
lastVolume: cumulative delta at the end of the bar
maxVolume, minVolume: intra-bar high and low
2. Visual Representation (CVD Candles):
Green/Teal candle: Delta is increasing (buying pressure dominates)
Red candle: Delta is decreasing (selling pressure dominates)
3. Divergence Detection:
The script compares the direction of the price candle with the direction of the CVD candle:
Price Up + CVD Down → Possible hidden selling (bearish divergence)
Price Down + CVD Up → Possible hidden buying (bullish divergence)
4. Color Highlighting:
Orange candle on the CVD chart signals divergence between price and volume delta.
This color override helps you quickly spot potential discrepancies between price movement and underlying volume pressure.
5. Alerting:
An alertcondition is added so you can receive a notification whenever a divergence occurs.
⚙️ User Inputs:
Anchor period (e.g., 1D): Timeframe over which the CVD is anchored.
Use custom timeframe: Allows you to override and define the internal lower timeframe used for volume estimation (e.g., 1-min).
📈 How to Use It:
✅ Bullish Divergence (Price down, CVD up)
This may indicate:
Buyers absorbing selling pressure.
A potential reversal to the upside.
Hidden accumulation.
🚫 Bearish Divergence (Price up, CVD down)
This may indicate:
Sellers stepping in despite upward price.
A potential reversal to the downside.
Hidden distribution.
🧠 Trading Insights:
CVD is often used by order flow traders or those analyzing market depth and volume imbalances.
This version lets you visually align price action with underlying volume, improving decision-making.
The divergence signal can be combined with other technical tools like support/resistance, candlestick patterns, or trendlines for confirmation.
