Aggressor Volume ImbalanceAggressor volume imbalance represents the ratio between market aggressor buy volume (market buy orders) and market aggressor sell volume (market sell orders). This ratio enables traders to evaluate the interest of market aggressors and whether aggressive market activity favours the price's direction.
Analysing aggressor volume is critical in understanding market sentiment and aids in identifying shifts in momentum and potential exhaustion points in the market. When the aggressor buy volume significantly exceeds the sell volume, it typically indicates strong buying interest, driving prices higher if the offer-side liquidity cannot contain it, and vice versa.
How it Works
The imbalance ratio is calculated as follows, according to the selected session timeframe (see settings):
imbalance := ((buyVolumeAccumulator - sellVolumeAccumulator)
/ (buyVolumeAccumulator + sellVolumeAccumulator)) * 100
Aggressive Volume Imbalance uses lower timeframe historical data to calculate Historical Aggressor Volume Imbalances, while live data is used for live aggressor volume imbalances.
How to Use It
You can set the indicator to use any historical data timeframe you prefer. However, it is highly recommended to use lower timeframes (e.g., 1 second), as the lower the timeframe, the more granular the data.
The indicator resets to 0% whenever a new session timeframe begins (e.g., a new day) and calculates new values for the rest of the session. This can be configured in the settings.

Liquidity Hunter - FattyTradesThis indicator is used to automatically identify and plot two forms of liquidity that will be targeted by market makers.
The first form of liquidity is based on multi-time fame highs and lows. It plots 1H, 4H, D, W, & M liquidity on an intraday chart to make it easier to identify. I believe hat liquidity is what drives the market and the most common form of this liquidity can be identified through higher time frame highs and lows. You can use whatever method you prefer to determine which liquidity pool will be targeted. When the liquidity is purged, it will be shown as dotted lines. This should not be used as traditional support/resistance, but rather as targets for the market.
The second form of liquidity is in the form of imbalances or fair value gaps. You can select a higher time frame to be plotted along with the current time frame you're viewing to identify imbalances that will likely be targeted intraday. We know that higher time frame fair value gaps work equally well as targets for market makers. When a higher time frame FVG is broken into, it can also act as a very powerful form of support and resistance. By default, when a fair value gap has been mitigated it will be removed from the chart, however this can be disabled.
Between these two forms of market maker liquidity targets on the chart, it will be easier to formulate a thesis intraday to determine where the market will move. It can help minimize the amount of switching between higher time frames that needs to be done, allowing you to identify targets while trading on your favorite intraday time frame for optimal risk/reward.
In the near future, I will build in alerting mechanism to alert when liquidity on higher time frames as been purged/mitigated.
ICT Imbalances (fadi)ICT Imbalances focuses on highlighting the imbalances described by ICT Se imbalances usually act as a price magnet where price tend to revisit to mitigate the imbalance and can act as support and resistance.
It is important to understand that, while they do act as price magnet, they are not all places for entries. What they do provide, is a price understanding and possible areas of reversal based on the bigger picture and trading strategy.
There are four types of imbalances covered by this indicator:
Fair Value Gap (FVG)
Fair value is when, at any given price, both buy and sell sides are offered. For every up move, there is a down move. Fair value Gap is an imbalance where price moved too quickly before offering both buy side and sell side at a given price.
Implied Fair Value Gap (IFVG)
Implied Fair Value Gap is when the first and third candle have overlapping large wicks. The IFVG is the area between the half point of first and third candles.
Volume Imbalance (V.I.)
Volume imbalance is when the price creates a gap between the close of one candle and the open of the following candle with overlapping wicks.
Gap
An area where price gaps up or down leaving a void where price did not trade in. This is most common on higher timeframes and when one day ends and the next day begins.
Settings
ICT Imbalances provides the following options
- Show or hide specific imbalance to keep the chart clean
- Background color of the box highlighting the imbalance
- Box width in the form of how many candles the box extends to
- Show or Hide the Half Mark of the box, only applies to FVG and IFVG
- Show or hide a Legend that explains which colors represents which imbalance
Pulse X Imbalance FinderWhat does this indicator do?
This indicator finds Imbalances on multi-timeframes so that you can view them for good targets. Example... You can be on the 1 hour and have the 4 hour / Day open imbalances on the screen showing it with green lines. The green lines then go away when prices reaches it.
What Is an Order Imbalance?
Order imbalance is a situation resulting from an excess of buy or sell orders for a specific security on a trading exchange, making it impossible to match the orders of buyers and sellers. For securities that are overseen by a market maker or specialist, shares may be brought in from a specified reserve to add liquidity, temporarily clearing out excess orders from the inventory so that the trading in the security can resume at an orderly level. Extreme cases of order imbalance may cause suspension of trading until the imbalance is resolved.
Understanding Order Imbalances
Order imbalances can often occur when major news hits a stock, such as an earnings release, change in guidance, or merger and acquisition activity. Imbalances can move securities to the upside or downside, but most imbalances get worked out within a few minutes or hours in one daily session. Smaller, less liquid securities can have imbalances that last longer than a single trading session because there are fewer shares in the hands of fewer people.

Temporary imbalancesThis indicator is designed to identify imbalances in order flow and market liquidity, It highlights candles with significant imbalances and draws reference lines
The indicator calculates imbalance based on changes in closing prices and volume. It uses the standard deviation to determine the significant imbalance threshold. Candles with bullish imbalances are highlighted in green, while candles with bearish imbalances are highlighted in red.
Furthermore, the indicator includes features of latency arbitrage and liquidity analysis. Latency arbitrage looks for price differences between the anchored VWAP and bid/ask quotes, targeting trading opportunities based on these differences. The liquidity analysis verifies the liquidity imbalance and calculates the VWAP anchored on this value in total using 4 VWAP.
This indicator can be adjusted according to the preferences and characteristics of the specific asset or market. It provides clear visual information and can be used as a complementary tool for technical analysis in trading strategies.

Correlated Imbalance Detector# Correlated Imbalance Detector
This indicator helps traders identify strong market movements while avoiding fakeouts by detecting correlated imbalances across two trading instruments. By requiring confirmation from correlated markets like major indices (ES, NQ) or related forex pairs, it filters out potential false signals.
## What it Does
The indicator analyzes price action patterns known as 'imbalances' on two correlated instruments simultaneously. An imbalance occurs when there's a significant gap between price levels that hasn't been filled, indicating strong buying or selling pressure. By requiring both instruments to show the same pattern, it helps eliminate false breakouts and fakeouts.
### Key Features:
- Detects bullish and bearish imbalances across two correlated instruments
- Filters out fakeouts through correlation confirmation
- Uses candlestick direction for additional validation
- Simple visual signals with customizable colors
### Signals:
- Green square: Bullish imbalance detected on both instruments
- Red square: Bearish imbalance detected on both instruments
## Avoiding Fakeouts
The indicator's core strength lies in its correlation requirement:
- A signal only appears when both instruments show the same pattern
- Reduces false signals that might appear on a single instrument
- Helps validate genuine market moves through correlation
- Particularly effective in filtering out noise in choppy markets
## Index Correlation and Bias
Major indices often show strong correlation in their movements:
- ES (S&P 500 futures) and NQ (Nasdaq futures) typically move together
- When both show the same imbalance pattern, it significantly reduces the chance of a fakeout
- Use this correlation to confirm your market bias and strengthen your trading decisions
## Settings
- Correlated Symbol: Enter the symbol you want to correlate with
- Bearish Color: Customize the color for bearish signals
- Bullish Color: Customize the color for bullish signals
## Usage Tips
1. Particularly effective with correlated indices (ES/NQ)
2. Use to confirm your existing market bias
3. Best used on higher timeframes (H1 and above)
4. Wait for confirmation from both instruments to avoid fakeouts
5. Consider overall market context when interpreting signals
6. Use the absence of correlation as a warning sign for potential fakeouts
Note: This indicator is designed to help filter out false signals through correlation. It works best as part of your broader market analysis and should align with your trading bias and strategy.
ICT Implied Fair Value Gap (IFVG) [LuxAlgo]An Implied Fair Value Gap (IFVG) is a three candles imbalance formation conceptualized by ICT that is based on detecting a larger candle body & then measuring the average between the two adjacent candle shadows.
This indicator automatically detects this imbalance formation on your charts and can be extended by a user set number of bars.
The IFVG average can also be extended until a new respective IFVG is detected, serving as a support/resistance line.
Alerts for the detection of bullish/bearish IFVG's are also included in this script.
🔶 SETTINGS
Shadow Threshold %: Threshold percentage used to filter out IFVG's with low adjacent candles shadows.
IFVG Extension: Number of bars used to extend highlighted IFVG's areas.
Extend Averages: Extend IFVG's averages up to a new detected respective IFVG.
🔶 USAGE
Users of this indicator can primarily find it useful for trading imbalances just as they would for trading regular Fair Value Gaps or other imbalances, which aims to highlight a disparity between supply & demand.
For trading a bullish IFVG, users can find this imbalance as an area where price is likely to fill or act as an area of support.
In the same way, a user could trade bearish IFVGs by seeing it as a potential area to be filled or act as resistance within a downtrend.
Users can also extend the IFVG averages and use them as longer-term support/resistances levels. This can highlight the ability of detected IFVG to provide longer term significant support and resistance levels.
🔶 DETAILS
Various methods have been proposed for the detection of regular FVG's, and as such it would not be uncommon to see various methods for the implied version.
We propose the following identification rules for the algorithmic detection of IFVG's:
🔹 Bullish
Central candle body is larger than the body of the adjacent candles.
Current price low is higher than high price two bars ago.
Current candle lower shadow makes up more than p percent of its total candle range.
Candle upper shadow two bars ago makes up more than p percent of its total candle range.
The average of the current candle lower shadow is greater than the average of the candle upper shadow two bars ago.
where p is the user set threshold.
🔹 Bearish
Central candle body is larger than the body of the adjacent candles.
Current price high is higher than low price two bars ago.
Current candle upper shadow makes up more than p percent of its total candle range.
Candle lower shadow two bars ago makes up more than p percent of its total candle range.
The average of the candle lower shadow 2 bars ago is greater than the average of the current candle higher shadow.
where p is the user set threshold.
🔶 SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL
You can see our previously posted script that detects various imbalances as well as regular Fair Value Gaps which have very similar usability to Implied Fair Value Gaps here:
Luma Signals – Orderflow ImbalanceLuma Signals – Imbalance Detector
The Luma Signals – Imbalance Detector highlights price inefficiencies where buying or selling pressure dominates, causing rapid market movements. These imbalances can act as potential support and resistance zones or indicate areas where liquidity needs to be filled.
🔹 Key Features:
✔ Identifies Bullish & Bearish Imbalances – Blue candles indicate strong buying pressure, red candles indicate strong selling pressure.
✔ Clear Market Structure – Normal bullish candles appear in light gray, normal bearish candles in white.
✔ Dynamic Orderflow Analysis – Helps traders spot high-volatility price movements and potential reversals.
✔ No repainting & lightweight – The indicator works in real-time without altering past data.
📊 How to Use:
Trend Confirmation: If an imbalance aligns with a strong trend, it may indicate trend continuation.
Liquidity Gaps: Price often revisits imbalances before continuing its movement.
Scalping & Intraday Trading: Identify key reaction points for short-term trades.

█ HOW TO USE IT
The indicator is quite straight forward in its application, providing users with targets that are often filled as they are seen as market imbalance.
Just applying it to your chart will provide the existing Fair Value Gaps. MTF Confluence is helpful in seeing what is happening on the macro perspective.
█ SUGGESTION
My suggestion for clarity is to use a different color to some degree between the MTF and Current TF as Opposed to text, keeps the chart clear.
█ LIMITATIONS OF PINE (Please read)
I see many users going on different indicators with MTF in mind and trying to use it for LTF data e.g. 1hour chart, and selecting 5min in chart settings.
This is not recommended by the team themselves and should be noted for use always use HTF: www.tradingview.com
To understand how to use fair value gaps I recommend learning about the subject some more, searching online will provide you resources. The internet is your friend when learning. All the best.
Price Imbalance as Consecutive Levels of AveragesOverview
The Price Imbalance as Consecutive Levels of Averages indicator is an advanced technical analysis tool designed to identify and visualize price imbalances in financial markets. Unlike traditional moving average (MA) indicators that update continuously with each new price bar, this indicator employs moving averages calculated over consecutive, non-overlapping historical windows. This unique approach leverages comparative historical data to provide deeper insights into trend strength and potential reversals, offering traders a more nuanced understanding of market dynamics and reducing the likelihood of false signals or fakeouts.
Key Features
Consecutive Rolling Moving Averages: Utilizes three distinct simple moving averages (SMAs) calculated over consecutive, non-overlapping windows to capture different historical segments of price data.
Dynamic Color-Coded Visualization: SMA lines change color and style based on the relationship between the averages, highlighting both extreme and normal market conditions.
Median and Secondary Median Lines: Provides additional layers of price distribution insight during normal trend conditions through the plotting of primary and secondary median lines.
Fakeout Prevention: Filters out short-term volatility and sharp price movements by requiring consistent historical alignment of multiple moving averages.
Customizable Parameters: Offers flexibility to adjust SMA window lengths and line extensions to align with various trading strategies and timeframes.
Real-Time Updates with Historical Context: Continuously recalculates and updates SMA lines based on comparative historical windows, ensuring that the indicator reflects both current and past market conditions.
Inputs & Settings
Rolling Window Lengths:
Window 1 Length (Most Recent) Bars: Number of bars used to calculate the most recent SMA. (Default: 5, Range: 2–300)
Window 2 Length (Preceding) Bars: Number of bars for the second SMA, shifted by Window 1. (Default: 8, Range: 2–300)
Window 3 Length (Third Rolling) Bars: Number of bars for the third SMA, shifted by the combined lengths of Window 1 and Window 2. (Default: 13, Range: 2–300)
Horizontal Line Extension:
Horizontal Line Extension (Bars): Determines how far each SMA line extends horizontally on the chart. (Default: 10 bars, Range: 1–100)
Functionality and Theory
1. Calculating Consecutive Simple Moving Averages (SMAs):
The indicator calculates three SMAs, each based on distinct and consecutive historical windows of price data. This approach contrasts with traditional MAs that continuously update with each new price bar, offering a static view of past trends rather than an ongoing one.
Mean1 (SMA1): Calculated over the most recent Window 1 Length bars. Represents the short-term trend.
Mean1=∑i=1N1CloseiN1
Mean1=N1∑i=1N1Closei
Where N1N1 is the length of Window 1.
Mean2 (SMA2): Calculated over the preceding Window 2 Length bars, shifted back by Window 1 Length bars. Represents the medium-term trend.
\text{Mean2} = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{N_2} \text{Close}_{i + N_1}}}{N_2}
Where N2N2 is the length of Window 2.
Mean3 (SMA3): Calculated over the third rolling Window 3 Length bars, shifted back by the combined lengths of Window 1 and Window 2 bars. Represents the long-term trend.
\text{Mean3} = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{N_3} \text{Close}_{i + N_1 + N_2}}}{N_3}
Where N3N3 is the length of Window 3.
2. Determining Market Conditions:
The relationship between the three SMAs categorizes the market condition into either extreme or normal states, enabling traders to quickly assess trend strength and potential reversals.
Extreme Bullish:
Mean3Mean2>Mean1
Mean3>Mean2>Mean1
Indicates a strong and sustained downward trend. SMA lines are colored purple and styled as dashed lines.
Normal Bullish:
Mean1>Mean2andnot in extreme bullish condition
Mean1>Mean2andnot in extreme bullish condition
Indicates a standard upward trend. SMA lines are colored green and styled as solid lines.
Normal Bearish:
Mean1Mean2>Mean1
Mean3>Mean2>Mean1
Normal Bullish:
Mean1>Mean2andnot in Extreme Bullish
Mean1>Mean2andnot in Extreme Bullish
Normal Bearish:
Mean1 Mean2 > Mean3
Visualization: All three SMAs are displayed as gold dashed lines.
Median Lines: Not displayed to maintain chart clarity.
Interpretation: Indicates a strong and sustained upward trend. Traders may consider entering long positions, confident in the trend's strength without the distraction of additional lines.
2. Normal Bullish Condition:
SMAs Alignment: Mean1 > Mean2 (not in extreme condition)
Visualization: Mean1 and Mean2 are green solid lines; Mean3 is gray.
Median Lines: A thin blue dotted median line is plotted between Mean1 and Mean2, with two additional thin blue dashed lines as secondary medians.
Interpretation: Confirms an upward trend while providing deeper insights into price distribution. Traders can use the median and secondary median lines to identify optimal entry points and manage risk more effectively.
3. Extreme Bearish Condition:
SMAs Alignment: Mean3 > Mean2 > Mean1
Visualization: All three SMAs are displayed as purple dashed lines.
Median Lines: Not displayed to maintain chart clarity.
Interpretation: Indicates a strong and sustained downward trend. Traders may consider entering short positions, confident in the trend's strength without the distraction of additional lines.
4. Normal Bearish Condition:
SMAs Alignment: Mean1 < Mean2 (not in extreme condition)
Visualization: Mean1 and Mean2 are red solid lines; Mean3 is gray.
Median Lines: A thin blue dotted median line is plotted between Mean1 and Mean2, with two additional thin blue dashed lines as secondary medians.
Interpretation: Confirms a downward trend while providing deeper insights into price distribution. Traders can use the median and secondary median lines to identify optimal entry points and manage risk more effectively.
Customization and Flexibility
The Price Imbalance as Consecutive Levels of Averages indicator is highly adaptable, allowing traders to tailor it to their specific trading styles and market conditions through adjustable parameters:
SMA Window Lengths: Modify the lengths of Window 1, Window 2, and Window 3 to capture different historical trend segments, whether focusing on short-term fluctuations or long-term movements.
Line Extension: Adjust the horizontal extension of SMA and median lines to align with different trading horizons and chart preferences.
Color and Style Preferences: While default colors and styles are optimized for clarity, traders can customize these elements to match their personal chart aesthetics and enhance visual differentiation.
This flexibility ensures that the indicator remains versatile and applicable across various markets, asset classes, and trading strategies, providing valuable insights tailored to individual trading needs.
Conclusion
The Price Imbalance as Consecutive Levels of Averages indicator offers a comprehensive and innovative approach to analyzing price trends and imbalances within financial markets. By utilizing three consecutive, non-overlapping SMAs and incorporating median lines during normal trend conditions, the indicator provides clear and actionable insights into trend strength and price distribution. Its unique design leverages comparative historical data, distinguishing it from traditional moving averages and enhancing its utility in identifying genuine market movements while minimizing false signals. This dynamic and customizable tool empowers traders to refine their technical analysis, optimize their trading strategies, and navigate the markets with greater confidence and precision.
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.

Fvg (Fair Value Gap) - is also known as an imbalance. An FVG is an imbalance of orders, for instance, for sellers to complete their trades, there must be buyers and vice versa so when a market receives too many of one kind of order buys or sells, and not enough of the order's counterpart. When the amount is not balanced and too many orders are put in for one direction, it creates an imbalance.

Price ImbalancePrice Imbalance, aka Fair value gap, Missing Price or Inefficiency are like blue foot prints of where price is most likely to visit before doing the next rally up or down. Knowing this is simple however pin pointing these spots can be nerve racking with this indicator you'll never have to worry about all the above mentioned.
How To Use The Price Imbalance Indicator
Load this indicator on your chart, and it will automatically print out a yellow box that's your Imbalance and you can find imbalance in every thing frame.
Which Of These Price Imbalance Is A Valid One To Use
For a Sell Bais the Imbalance with Order Blocks above and liquidity before it is a valid price imbalance. however you might want to take into consideration Market trend and confirmation too.
DUN Lines IndicatorThe DUN Lines indicator detects, filters and plots price imbalances (aka fair value gaps or fvgs/ifvgs). It is unique in the fact that it uses five timeframes and filters out overlapping, lower timeframe imbalances and fvgs below a user-definable size threshold.
Simply set your detection timeframes, colors and thresholds then set your chart to your preferred entry timeframe. When imbalances are mitigated, the FVG/IFVG is removed from the chart.
The indicator's default colors are my preferred ones for differentiating between timeframes, but these are easily changed. A single color with various levels of transparency to indicate timeframe strength is another approach that works nicely.
MTF Smart Money ConceptsOverview
This indicator displays major elements of Smart Money Concepts and price action trading with multi-timeframes(MTF) and layered market structures with color visualization.
What is Smart Money Concepts?
Smart Money Concepts(SMC) is one of the methodologies to interpret how financial market moves and to analyze it and execute trades, focusing on liquidity and order flow of financial institutions.
Smart money means the funds invested by large financial institutions such as banks, institutional traders/investors, market makers, hedge funds etc. contrary to retail traders/investors' money.
It is important to note that there is no proof or evidence that those institutions move the market as described in Smart Money Concepts.
Personally speaking, it is one of the interpretation of the market and another angle to view the market just like other technical analysis methodologies such as Elliott Wave Principle, Gann Theory, Wyckoff Method and even traditional price action trading.
Importance of MTF Analysis
MTF analysis(a.k.a Topdown analysis) is the foundation to technically analyze charts and the most fundamental skill in trading because lower timeframes are always influenced by upper timeframes where large financial institutions operate.
How to use
This indicator is designed to help traders analyze how the market moves in terms of SMC and price action with multi-timeframes and color visualization of the market structures, which makes this indicator unique and different from other indicators.
There is two key settings that you can use based on your trading style.
1.Upper timeframe selection
You have two options to determine upper timeframe; Auto mode and Manual mode.
When Auto mode selected, upper timeframe will be determined based on chart timeframe as follows.
Chart timeframe => Upper timeframe
1M=>15M
5M/15M=>1H
30M/1H=>4H
4H=>D
D=>W
W=>M
If you select Manual mode, you can fix an upper timeframe.
2.High/low settings
This affects all other settings of the indicator and most importantly designs the market structure.
This is the key setting to determine how you view the market as price action trading is all about highs and lows and story of how highs and lows have been created with the market structure.
You can specify left bars and right bars to identify swing highs/lows and these highs/lows become the basis to design the market structure and determine how SMC elements are displayed.
Example:
Left bar&right bar: 10
You can see bigger wave(magenta line) in the market structure(stepped line).
(Magenta line is a drawn object by manual)
Left bar&right bar: 4
With this setting, you can see smaller wave in the market structure.
Since market moves like wave as there is a lot of wave theories in financial investment/trading industry such as Elliott wave, Wolf wave etc., users can define market structure with this setting depending on what degree of wave they aim to trade.
Functions:
MTF Order Block
Concept
Order block is a block of orders where buying orders and selling orders are accumulated. Order blocks are created when the institutions move the market up and down, temporality placing orders in an opposite direction to the way they want to move, in order to match their own orders with counter-orders.
Visualization by the indicator
The indicator displays both chart timeframe's order blocks and upper timeframe's order blocks(MTF).
You can also select from two options how to display order blocks;
1. Show all order blocks
2. Show strong order blocks only
Note: Strong order blocks mean order blocks created at strong highs/lows. See also strong high/low below.
Alerts can be set when prices reach strong order blocks.
MTF Fair Value Gap(FVG)/Imbalance
Concept
Fair Value Gap(FVG)(Imbalance) is a void generated among three consecutive candlesticks.
FVG(s) is created when the market moves so rapidly generating buy side or sell side order imbalances.
FVG(s) is characterized by price action that prices tend to come back to the area where FVG(s) exists, filling in the space among the candlesticks.
Visualization by the indicator
The indicator displays both chart timeframe's FVG and upper timeframe's FVG.
MTF Liquidity Grab
Concept
Liquidity grab is price action to sweep liquidity for the institutions to move the market.
This price action often happens because the size of their orders is so huge and they need a bunch of counter-orders to match their orders. This is why prices sometimes come to areas where liquidity rest and swipe them before the market goes up/down.
Liquidity visualization
Where does liquidity rest?
The answer is above highs(buy side liquidity) and below lows(sell side liquidity).
Among all highs and lows, swing highs and lows are where liquidity is accumulated the most because swing highs and lows can be created only by the institutions, therefore massive liquidity is indicated.
Visualization by the indicator
The indicator displays liquidity dots so that users can easily identify where liquidity rests and liquidity grab of both a chart timeframe and an upper timeframe.
Alerts can be set when liquidity grab happens.
MTF Strong High/Low
Concept
Strong high/low literally means strong highs and lows among all highs and lows including swing highs and lows.
There is a few different definitions of strong high/low in price action trading and the definition in this indicator is as follows.
Strong high
A high that that breaks higher low or lower low
Strong low
A low that breaks lower high or higher high
Visualization by the indicator
The indicator displays strong highs and lows of both a chart timeframe and an upper timeframe.
MTF Market Structure Visualization
Concept
Market structure is a series of price movement with highs and lows which outlines the way the market directs. It is a basis to see trend occurrence, trend reversal and sideways and analyzing the market structures in multi-timeframes is the most fundamental technical skill in trading/investment.
Visualization by the indicator
The indicator displays market structures of both a chart timeframe and an upper timeframe and provide color visualization depending on bullish and bearish market structures.
The definition of bullish and bearish market structure is as follows.
Bullish market structure
When a price breaks a Lower High or Higher High
Bearish market structure
When a price breaks a Higher Low or Lower Low
Settings
All the functions above, colors and line settings are parameterized and can be turned on/off depending on users’ needs.

概要
Smart Money Concepts(SMC)およびプライスアクショントレードにおける重要な要素をマルチタイムフレームで表示することのできるインジケーターです。
相場構造(Market structure)をマルチタイムフレームで表示し、相場構造の強弱を色で可視化することができます。
Smart Money Concepts(スマートマネーコンセプト)とは？
Smart Money Concepts(以下SMC) は金融市場がどのように動くかを解釈し、分析し、取引を執行するための相場理論の一つであり、Liquidity(リクイディティ)および機関投資家のオーダーフロー(注文の流れ)に焦点を置いていることが特徴です。
Smart Money(スマートマネー)とは、銀行や機関投資家、マーケットメーカー、ヘッジファンドといった金融機関が動かす資金を意味し、個人投資家の資金と対をなす概念です。
重要な点は、実際に上記の金融機関がSmart Money Conceptsで語られているような相場の動かし方をしているかどうかを証明する明確なエビデンスはないということです。
個人的には、エリオット波動理論やギャン理論、ワイコフ理論、伝統的なプライスアクショントレーディングの方法論と同様に、マーケットの動きを解釈するための一つの方法論であり、マーケットの動きを別の角度から見る枠組みと捉えています。
マルチタイムフレーム(MTF)分析の重要性
MTF分析はチャートをテクニカルに分析する上での基礎であり、トレードにおいて最も重要なスキルです。なぜなら下位のタイムフレームは上記のような金融機関が資金運用を行う上位のタイムフレームの影響を常に受けるためです。
使い方
このインジケーターは、SMCまたはプライスアクショントレードの観点から、トレーダーがマーケットをマルチタイムフレームで分析することを支援するために開発しています。
相場構造(Market structure/マーケットストラクチャー)を方向性に応じて色で可視化することができるため、視覚的に相場の構造を判断できることがこのインジケータのユニークな点であり、他のインジケーターと異なる点です。
ユーザーのトレードスタイルに応じて、以下の二つの設定を行うことができます。
1.上位足の決定方法
ユーザーは上位足のタイムフレームを決定するにあたり、AutoモードとManualモードを選択することができます。
Autoモードを選択した場合、上位足はチャートのタイムフレームに応じて以下のように決定されます。
チャートタイムフレーム => 上位足タイムフレーム
1M=>15M
5M/15M=>1H
30M/1H=>4H
4H=>D
D=>W
W=>M
Manualモードを選択すると上位足のタイムフレームを固定することができます。
2.High/low(高値/安値) 設定
当設定はインジケーターの他の全ての機能に影響し、また最も重要である相場構造の定義に影響します。
当設定はユーザーがマーケットをどのように見るか(=どの程度の粒度)を決定する重要な設定です。なぜならプライスアクショントレードは、高値、安値とそれらが相場構造をどのように構築してきたかの一連の流れを分析することが全てだからです。
ユーザーは相場構造を決定付けるスイングハイ·スイングローを特定するためのバーの本数を設定することができます。ここで設定した内容が、相場構造を定義し、以下で説明するSMCの要素の表示を決定することになります。
例:
Left bar&right bar(左右のバーの数): 10
この場合、ステップラインで示した相場構造の中に大きな波(マゼンタの波)を見ることができます。
(マゼンタのラインは手動で描いたオブジェクト)
Left bar&right bar: 4
この設定では、上記に比べて小さい波を描いていることが確認できます。
相場理論の中にエリオット波動理論やウォルフ波動といった数多くの波動理論があることからわかるように、相場は波として動きます。どの粒度の波を狙うかというトレーダーのスタイルに応じて、設定を変更することができます。
機能
MTFオーダーブロック
コンセプト
オーダーブロックとは買い注文と売り注文が一連となって蓄積されたオーダー(注文)のブロックのことです。
オーダーブロックは機関投資家が相場を動かす際に、本来意図する方向とは一時的に逆に動かすことで、彼ら自身の注文をマッチングさせるための反対注文を発生させることで形成されます。
インジケーターによる表示
インジケーターはチャートタイムフレームのオーダーブロックと上位足のオーダーブロックの両方を表示することができます。
また、オーダーブロックの表示オプションとして、
1.全てのオーダーブロックを表示
2.Strong(ストロング)オーダーブロックのみを表示
を選択することが可能です。
注: StrongオーダーブロックはStrong High/Lowで形成されるオーダーブロックを指します。(下記参照)
また、オーダーブロック到達でのアラート設定も可能です。
MTFフェアーバリューギャップ(FVG)/インバランス
コンセプト
フェアーバリューギャップ(FVG)/インバランスとは連続する3つのローソク足の間に形成される溝(Gap)のことです。
フェアーバリューギャップはマーケットが非常に早く動いたことにより、買いオーダーと売りオーダーの需給バランスが崩れることによって発生します。
フェアーバリューギャップには、価格がフェアーバリューギャップが発生したエリアまで戻ってくる傾向があるという特徴が存在します。
インジケーターによる表示
インジケーターはチャートタイムフレームのフェアーバリューギャップと上位足のフェアーバリューギャップの両方を表示することができます。
MTF Liquidity Grab(リクイディティ·グラブ)
コンセプト
Liquidity(リクイディティ)とはマネー、つまり注文です。
Liquidity Grab(リクイディティ·グラブ)とは、機関投資家がマーケットを動かす際にLiquidityを取得するプライスアクションのことを指します。
このプライスアクションは、機関投資家が処理する注文サイズが非常に大きいため、自身の注文を出す際に大量の反対注文を必要とすることからしばしば発生します。
これが、価格がLiquidity(注文)の集まっているエリアに接近し、それら注文をスワイプ(狩り取る)した後に上昇·下落する理由です。
Liquidityの可視化
一般的にLiquidityは高値の上(buy side liquidity)、安値の下(sell side liquidity)に存在します。
全ての高値·安値の中で、スイングハイ·ローがliquidityが最も蓄積されているエリアということができます。なぜならスイングハイ·ローは機関投資家の注文によってのみ形成されるからです。
インジケーターによる表示
ユーザーがLiquidityポイントを簡単に識別できるようにLiquidityをドット表示することが可能です。またチャートタイムフレームと上位足の両方のLiquidity Grabを表示することができます。
Liquidity Grab発生時にアラートも設定可能です。
MTF Strong High/Low(ストロングハイ·ロー)
コンセプト
Strong high/lowは文字通り、強い高値·安値のことを指します。
トレーダーの間でいくつかの異なる定義が存在しますが、当インジケーターでの定義は以下の通りです。
Strong high
Higher low(ハイアーロー) または Lower low(ロワーロー)をブレイクした高値
Strong low
Lower higher (ロワーハイ) または Higher High(ハイアーハイ)をブレイクした安値
インジケーターによる表示
チャートタイムフレーム、上位足のStrong High/Lowを表示することが可能です。
相場構造可視化
コンセプト
相場構造(Market structure/マーケットストラクチャー)とは、相場の流れを成り立たせる高値と安値を元にした一連の値動きです。建物における骨組みに該当します。
トレンドの発生、転換、レンジを見極めるための基礎であり、マルチタイムフレームで相場構造を分析することは、投資·トレードにおいて最も重要なテクニカルスキルです。
インジケーターによる表示
チャートタイムフレームと上位足タイムフレーム両方の相場構造を表示することができます。
また、相場構造が強気の状態か弱気の状態かを色で可視化するため、上位足含めた相場の流れを視覚的に判断することが可能です。
相場構造の強弱の定義は以下の通りです。
強気の相場構造(Bullish market structure)
価格がLower HighまたはHigher Highをブレイクしたとき
弱気の相場構造(Bearish market structure)
価格がHigher LowまたはLower Lowをブレイクしたとき
設定
上記の全ての機能は色やライン設定含めパラメーターで設定が可能です。またユーザの必要に応じて表示·非表示を切り替えることができます。
Liquidity Imbalance Index (Li2)How to Use the Liquidity Imbalance Index (Li2)
The Liquidity Imbalance Index (Li2) is designed to track market liquidity and identify significant imbalances between buyers and sellers. Here's how to effectively use this indicator in your trading:
Understanding the Main Components
1. Liquidity Delta Histogram/Line:
- Shows the difference between buy and sell liquidity
- Green bars/line: Buying pressure dominates
- Red bars/line: Selling pressure dominates
- The intensity of color shows the strength of the imbalance
2. Threshold Lines:
- Upper (green) threshold: Marks significant buy pressure
- Lower (red) threshold: Marks significant sell pressure
- Neutral zone: Area between the dotted lines where neither buyers nor sellers dominate
3. Liquidity Zones (circles shown on top/bottom):
- Green circles on upper threshold: Historical bull zones (significant buying interest)
- Red circles on lower threshold: Historical bear zones (significant selling interest)
- These zones require multiple hits, consecutive signals, and optionally volume confirmation
Trading Strategies
For Trend Trading
1. Look for when the Liquidity Delta crosses above the upper threshold for bullish signals
2. Look for when the Liquidity Delta crosses below the lower threshold for bearish signals
3. Especially powerful when crossing occurs with acceleration (darker histogram colors)
For Support and Resistance
1. Identify where the significant bull/bear zones appear (green/red circles)
2. These often align with important price levels where orders cluster
3. Use these zones as potential reversal or confirmation points
For Divergence
1. Watch for price making new highs/lows while liquidity shows the opposite
2. Divergence between price and liquidity can signal potential reversals
Volume Confirmation
1. Pay attention to volume-confirmed signals (small circles at zero line)
2. These indicate stronger conviction behind the liquidity imbalance
Optimal Settings
- For day trading or volatile markets, consider reducing lookback periods and increasing thresholds
- For swing trading, the default settings work well to capture significant zones
- In ranging markets, focus on the zones as they often mark the range boundaries
- In trending markets, follow the overall direction of the liquidity delta
Reading Acceleration Signals
The indicator shows color intensity variations to highlight acceleration in liquidity flows:
- Dark green/red: Strong acceleration (rapid shift in order flow)
- Medium green/red: Medium acceleration
- Light green/red: Weak acceleration
These acceleration signals often precede significant price movements.
Volume Flow ImbalanceVolume Flow Imbalance (VFI) Indicator
The Volume Flow Imbalance (VFI) indicator is designed to provide traders with insights into the market's buying and selling pressure by calculating the imbalance between buy and sell volumes over a user-defined lookback period. This indicator is particularly useful for identifying potential pivot points and market sentiment shifts.
How to Use :
Setup Parameters :
Lookback Period: Set the number of bars over which the imbalance is calculated. Increasing this number provides a broader view of market trends.
Lower Timeframe Data: Optionally enable this feature to analyze volume data from lower timeframes, offering a more granified view of volume flows.
Interpreting the Indicator :
The VFI outputs a value that represents the net imbalance between buying and selling volumes. Positive values indicate a predominance of buying volume, suggesting bullish conditions, while negative values suggest bearish conditions with more selling volume.
The indicator also provides dynamic threshold lines based on the standard deviation of the calculated imbalances, helping to visually identify extreme conditions where reversals might occur.
Application :
Apply the VFI to any chart to assess the balance of trade volumes in real-time.
Use the indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to confirm trends or potential reversals.
Tips :
Adjust the lookback period based on the volatility and trading volume of the asset to optimize performance.
The VFI is best used in liquid markets where volume data is a reliable indicator of market activity.
By providing a clear measure of how much buying and selling is occurring relative to the past, the VFI helps traders make informed decisions based on underlying market dynamics.
Bagang Pivot Zones | Supply & Demand, Support & ResistanceBagang Pivot Zones detects imbalances from classic reversal and momentum price actions.
Imbalances create pivot zones, a.k.a Supply & Demand / Support & Resistance / Orderblock zones.
Use Cases
1. Traders using Supply & Demand theory can quickly pinpoint imbalance zones created by BUY-to-SELL and SELL-to-BUY candles.
2. Trend Following traders can systematically catch and follow a trend based on pivot zones analysis.
3. Breakout traders can easily target pivot zones’ breakout and breakdown.
4. Take the guesswork out of risk management: manage stop-loss precisely behind pivot zones.
5. Analyze contrary pivot zones to set realistic profit targets.
Objectivity
By only comparing OHLC values to identify notable price actions, Bagang Pivot Zones avoids derived calculations with subjective parameters.
Chart Issue
If the chart zooms out after adding an indicator, right-click the price scale and toggle "Scale price chart only” on.
Candle Colored by Volume Z-score [Morty]This indicator colors the candles according to the z-score of the trading volume. You can easily see the imbalance on the chart. You can use it at any timeframe.
In statistics, the standard score (Z-score) is the number of standard deviations by which the value of a raw score (i.e., an observed value or data point) is above or below the mean value of what is being observed or measured. Raw scores above the mean have positive standard scores, while those below the mean have negative standard scores.
This script uses trading volume as source of z-score by default.
Due to the lack of volume data for some index tickers, you can also choose candle body size as source of z-score.
features:
- custom source of z-score
- volume
- candle body size
- any of above two
- all of above two
- custom threshold of z-score
- custom color chemes
- custom chart type
- alerts
default color schemes:
- green -> excheme bullish imbalance
- blue -> large bullish imbalance
- red -> excheme bearish imbalance
- purple -> large bearish imbalance
- yellow -> low volume bars, indicates "balance", after which volatility usually increases and tends to continue the previous trend
Examples:
* Personally, I use dark theme and changed the candle colors to black/white for down/up.
Volume as Z-score source
Any as Z-score source, more imbalances are showed
