Immediate Rebalance ICT [TradingFinder] No Imbalances - MTF Gaps🔵 Introduction
The concept of "Immediate Rebalance" in technical analysis is a powerful and advanced strategy within the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) framework, widely used to identify key market levels.
Unlike the "Fair Value Gap," which leaves a price gap requiring a retracement for a fill, an Immediate Rebalance fills the gap immediately, representing an instant balance that strengthens the prevailing market trend. This structure allows traders to quickly spot critical price zones, capitalizing on strong trend continuations without the need for price retracement.
The "Immediate Rebalance ICT" indicator leverages this concept, providing traders with automated identification of critical supply and demand zones, order blocks, liquidity voids, and key buy-side and sell-side liquidity levels.
Through features like crucial liquidity points and immediate rebalancing areas, this tool enables traders to perform precise real-time market analysis and seize profitable opportunities.
🔵 How to Use
The Immediate Rebalance indicator assists traders in identifying reliable trading signals by detecting and analyzing Immediate Rebalance zones. By focusing on supply and demand areas, the indicator pinpoints optimal entry and exit positions.
Here’s how to use the indicator in both bearish (Supply Immediate Rebalance) and bullish (Demand Immediate Rebalance) structures :
🟣 Bullish Structure (Demand Immediate Rebalance)
In a bullish scenario, the indicator detects a Demand Immediate Rebalance formed by two consecutive bullish candles with overlapping wicks. This structure signifies an immediate demand zone, where price instantly balances within the zone, reducing the likelihood of a revisit and indicating potential upside momentum.
Zone Identification : Look for two consecutive bullish candles with overlapping wicks, forming a demand zone. This structure, due to its rapid balance, usually does not require a revisit and supports further upward movement.
Entry and Exit Levels : If price revisits this zone, percentage markers, particularly 50% and 75%, act as supportive levels, creating ideal entry points for long positions.
Example : In the second image, an example of a Demand Immediate Rebalance is shown, where overlapping bullish candle shadows indicate immediate balance, supporting the continuation of the bullish trend.
🟣 Bearish Structure (Supply Immediate Rebalance)
In a bearish setup, the indicator identifies a Supply Immediate Rebalance when two consecutive bearish candles with overlapping wicks appear. This formation signals an immediate supply zone, suggesting a high probability of trend continuation to the downside, with minimal expectation for price to retrace back to this area.
Zone Identificatio n: Look for two consecutive bearish candles with overlapping shadows. This structure forms a supply area where price is expected to continue its downtrend without revisiting the zone.
Entry and Exit Level s: Should price revisit this zone, percentage-based levels (e.g., 50% and 75%) serve as potential resistance points, optimizing entry for short positions, especially if the downtrend is expected to persist.
Example : The attached chart illustrates a Supply Immediate Rebalance, where overlapping candle shadows define this area, reassuring traders of a continued downward trend with a low likelihood of price returning to this zone.
🔵 Settings
ImmR Filter : This filter allows users to adjust the detection of Immediate Rebalance zones in four modes, from "Very Aggressive" to "Very Defensive," based on zone width. The chosen mode controls the sensitivity of Immediate Rebalance detection, allowing users to fine-tune the indicator to their trading style.
Multi Time Frame : Enabling this option allows users to set the indicator to a specific timeframe (1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, daily, weekly, or monthly), broadening the perspective for identifying Immediate Rebalance zones across multiple timeframes.
🔵 Conclusion
The Immediate Rebalance indicator, based on rapid balancing zones within supply and demand areas, serves as a powerful tool for market analysis and improving trade decision-making.
By accurately identifying zones where price achieves instant balance without gaps, the indicator highlights areas likely to support strong trend continuations, exempt from common retracements.
The indicator’s use of percentage levels enables traders to pinpoint optimal entry and exit points more effectively, with levels like 50% and 75% acting as support within demand zones and resistance within supply zones. This empowers traders to ride strong trends without the worry of abrupt reversals.
Overall, the Immediate Rebalance is a reliable tool for both professional and beginner traders seeking precise methods to recognize supply and demand zones, capitalizing on consistent trends.
By choosing appropriate settings and focusing on the zones highlighted by this indicator, traders can enter trades with greater confidence and improve their risk management.
Smart Money Concepts [UAlgo]🔶 Description:
Smart Money Concepts (SMC) refer to a trading strategy that revolves around understanding and following the actions of institutional investors, such as banks and hedge funds, who are considered the “smart money” in the market. The concept is based on the idea that these institutions have more information and resources, and thus their market activities can indicate future market movements.
This script designed to be a tool that will automatically provide many features related to SMC concept for investors, offering a market structure analysis that includes the identification of order blocks, breaker blocks, and liquidity points. It also delineates premium and discount zones, highlights Fair Value Gaps (FVG), Volume Imbalance (VI) and Order Gap (OG) areas, providing users with a multifaceted view of market dynamics.
🔶 Key Features:
Market Structure Analysis : Simplifies the overview of market behavior, identifies market breakouts or trend continuation.
It detects the market structure as shown in the image below :
Order Blocks : Detects Order Blocks based on market structure analysis and volume characteristics. It draws these blocks and provides information such as volume.
Order Block Identification:
Breaker Blocks : Detects Breaker Blocks based on market structure analysis.
Breaker Block Identification:
When Order Block above is broken,
As you can see, it has now turned into a Bearish Breaker Block,
And it seems that the price is getting a reaction from this breaker block above.
Liquidity Sweeps : Tracks liquidity sweeps on both the buy and sell sides, offering traders a perspective on market momentum and potential shifts.
Multi-Timeframe Fair Value Gap (FVG), Volume Imbalance (VI), Order Gaps (OG) Detection : Detects Fair Value Gap (FVG), Volume Imbalance (VI) and Order Gaps (OG) based on different criteria such as price movements and volume characteristics. It marks these gaps/voids and provides visual cues for analysis.
Examle for FVG:
Premium & Discount Zone Analysis : Analyzes premium and discount zones, showing prices within these zones and highlighting equilibrium (0.5) levels.
Customizable Options : Provides various input parameters for customization, such as market structure length, sensitivity settings, display preferences, and mitigation methods.
Previous Key Levels : Identifies previous key levels include previous highs, lows, equilibrium points, and open prices across different timeframes such as daily, weekly, and monthly.

Volume CVD and Open Interest HeatmapTaking Volume and Open Interest data to the next level of visualization I created a 'heatmap'. The indicator uses a colour gradient and plots boxes from the source candle to the current candle with one of the following data sources:
- Volume - the total volume of transactions, buys and sells
- Up Volume - the total volume from buys only
- Down Volume - the total volume from sells only
- Up/Down Volume (Net) - the difference in the Buy Volume and Sell Volume
- Cumulative Delta - the sum of the up/down volume for the previous 14 bars
- Cumulative Delta EMA - a smoothed average of the sum of the up/down volume for the previous 14 bars, over a 14 period EMA
- Open Interest - a user defined ticker, whose value is added to the plot, while this is designed to be used with Open Interest tickers, you can actually choose any ticker you want, perhaps you want to see DXY while charting Bitcoin!
You can define the lookback period, though you should make sure your timeframe for volume source data, is high enough to accommodate the lookback. TradingView will only fetch 5000 candles worth of data, so at 1 min volume data, you can only lookback 83 hours.
While similar, Volume and Open Interest are not the same. To me the simplest explanation is Volume shows the trades that have been executed and the buy/sell direction, while Open Interest shows the value of open trades that are yet to be completed.
Volume shows strength, sentiment and volatility .
Open Interest does not show direction, but does indicate momentum and liquidity in the market.
With this novel way of visualizing these, you can also now determine where all that liquidity and positions came from and therefore might have resting liquidity below.
Newzage - Fed Net LiquidityThe Fed Net Liquidity indicator is a concept discovered by Max Anderson to calculate the fair value of SPX (S&P 500 Index).
The formula he shared on Twitter uses the Fed Balance Sheet, TGA (Treasury General Account), and Reverse Repo.
Net Liquidity = Fed Balance Sheet - (TGA + Reverse Repo)
The data for each component above is accessible on the FRED website.
Fed Balance Sheet fred.stlouisfed.org
Treasury General Account (TGA) fred.stlouisfed.org
Reverse Repo fred.stlouisfed.org
This script uses net liquidity (NL) fair value calculation for SPX, then estimates entry and next target exit target for both long and short trades on SPY.
The script added RSI oversold/overbought signal to the original NL signal from Max... improving the "precision" of the buy/sell signals.
The script also uses RSI to estimate targets based on how overbought or oversold the index/SPY is.
USD Liquidity Conditions IndexUSD Liquidity Conditions Index = — —
"Bitcoin vs. USD Liquidity Conditions Index
In this current phase of the crypto currency capital markets, Bitcoin represents a high-powered coincident (and sometimes leading indicator) of global USD liquidity conditions."
cryptohayes.medium.com
Global Liquidity IndexThis indicator tracks worldwide liquidity by aggregating the sum of the global M2 money supply, and major central bank balance sheets and subtracting the U.S. Treasury General Account (TGA), the Federal Reserve’s Reverse Repo (RRP) facility. It offers insight into the overall liquidity environment, often a key driver of risk asset performance.

ICT Liquidity Sweep MAX RETRI (ALERT)Strategy Description: SMC + ICT Reversal Sniper | 5-Min | R2 TP
This strategy applies Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and ICT methodology to identify high-probability reversal trades using a clean, rule-based system designed for the 5-minute timeframe.
⸻
Core Logic:
• Liquidity Sweep: Identifies stop hunts beyond recent swing highs/lows using a configurable lookback window.
• Break of Structure (BOS): Validates a directional shift after the sweep.
• Fixed R2 Risk-Reward: Entry is followed by a 2:1 take-profit target. Stop loss is set at the sweep candle’s high/low.
• No Entry Between 8 PM–12 AM NY Time: Avoids the manipulation-prone and illiquid zone.
• Discreet SL Handling: SL hits close trades silently — no labels or visuals.
⸻
Entry Precision & Timing Notes:
• The strategy may occasionally fire before a confirmed liquidity sweep — this is expected. If a sweep occurs later, you may still re-enter toward equilibrium, with take profit also targeted at equilibrium.
• Alerts or trades that trigger near 9:30 AM NY often align with real direction, but this time can be volatile.
• For more reliable and lower-risk entries, focus on the 1:30 PM to 2:00 PM silver bullet window, which tends to produce cleaner setups with more favorable flow. 🖤

Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Zones V6 (Lines)Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Zones V6 (Lines) identifies key volume-based support and resistance levels across multiple timeframes (Monthly, Weekly, Daily, 4H, 1H, 30M, and 15M). It calculates the Point of Control (POC)—the price with the highest volume—and the Value Area High (VAH)/Value Area Low (VAL)—the range that captures the bulk of trading activity—based on a user-defined number of bars.
The indicator draws lines for these levels on the chart and labels them with the corresponding timeframe. This helps you quickly spot where major volume concentration may affect price movements, making it easier to plan entries, exits, and risk management. Simply adjust the “Bars Count” parameters to suit your preferred timeframe or market volatility.
While these volume levels often coincide with strong support/resistance zones, it’s best to combine them with other technical tools or price action for confirmation. In short, Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Zones V6 (Lines) offers a clear, consolidated view of crucial volume-driven levels, streamlining multi-timeframe analysis and enhancing your overall trading strategy.
JJ Highlight Time Ranges with First 5 Minutes and LabelsTo effectively use this Pine Script as a day trader , here’s how the various elements can help you manage trades, track time sessions, and monitor price movements:
Key Components for a Day Trader:
1. First 5-Minute Highlight:
- Purpose: Day traders often rely on the first 5 minutes of the trading session to gauge market sentiment, watch for opening price gaps, or plan entries. This script draws a horizontal line at the high or low of the first 5 minutes, which can act as a key level for the rest of the day.
- How to Use: If the price breaks above or below the first 5-minute line, it can signal momentum. You might enter a long position if the price breaks above the first 5-minute high or a short if it breaks below the first 5-minute low.
2. Session Time Highlights:
- Morning Session (9:15–10:30 AM): The market often shows its strongest price action during the first hour of trading. This session is highlighted in yellow. You can use this highlight to focus on the most volatile period, as this is when large institutional moves tend to occur.
- Afternoon Session (12:30–2:55 PM): The blue highlight helps you track the mid-afternoon session, where liquidity may decrease, and price action can sometimes be choppier. Day traders should be more cautious during this period.
- How to Use: By highlighting these key times, you can:
- Focus on key breakouts during the morning session.
- Be more conservative in your trades during the afternoon, as market volatility may drop.
3. Dynamic Labels:
- Top/Bottom Positioning: The script places labels dynamically based on the selected position (Top or Bottom). This allows you to quickly glance at the session's start and identify where you are in terms of time.
- How to Use: Use these labels to remind yourself when major time segments (morning or afternoon) begin. You can adjust your trading strategy depending on the session, e.g., being more aggressive in the morning and more cautious in the afternoon.
Trading Strategy Suggestions:
1. Momentum Trades:
- After the first 5 minutes, use the high/low of that period to set up breakout trades.
- Long Entry: If the price breaks the high of the first 5 minutes (especially if there's a strong trend).
- Short Entry: If the price breaks the low of the first 5 minutes, signaling a potential downtrend.
2. Session-Based Strategy:
- Morning Session (9:15–10:30 AM):
- Look for strong breakout patterns such as support/resistance levels, moving average crossovers, or candlestick patterns (like engulfing candles or pin bars).
- This is a high liquidity period, making it ideal for executing quick trades.
- Afternoon Session (12:30–2:55 PM):
- The market tends to consolidate or show less volatility. Scalping and mean-reversion strategies work better here.
- Avoid chasing big moves unless you see a clear breakout in either direction.
3. Support and Resistance:
- The first 5-minute high/low often acts as a key support or resistance level for the rest of the day. If the price holds above or below this level, it’s an indication of trend continuation.
4. Breakout Confirmation:
- Look for breakouts from the highlighted session time ranges (e.g., 9:15 AM–10:30 AM or 12:30 PM–2:55 PM).
- If a breakout happens during a key time window, combine that with other technical indicators like volume spikes , RSI , or MACD for confirmation.
---
Example Day Trader Usage:
1. First 5 Minutes Strategy: After the market opens at 9:15 AM, watch the price action for the first 5 minutes. The high and low of these 5 minutes are critical levels. If the price breaks above the high of the first 5 minutes, it might indicate a strong bullish trend for the day. Conversely, breaking below the low may suggest bearish movement.
2. Morning Session: After the first 5 minutes, focus on the **9:15 AM–10:30 AM** window. During this time, look for breakout setups at key support/resistance levels, especially when paired with high volume or momentum indicators. This is when many institutions make large trades, so price action tends to be more volatile and predictable.
3. Afternoon Session: From 12:30 PM–2:55 PM, the market might experience lower volatility, making it ideal for scalping or range-bound strategies. You could look for reversals or fading strategies if the market becomes too quiet.
Conclusion:
As a day trader, you can use this script to:
- Track and react to key price levels during the first 5 minutes.
- Focus on high volatility in the morning session (9:15–10:30 AM) and **be cautious** during the afternoon.
- Use session-based timing to adjust your strategies based on the time of day.

Screener | FractalystWhat’s the purpose of this indicator?
This indicator is part of the Optirange suite , which analyzes all timeframes using a mechanical top-down approach to determine the overall market bias. It helps you identify the specific timeframes and exact levels for positioning in longs, shorts, or guiding you on whether to stay away from trading a particular market condition.
The purpose of the Screener indicator is to track the contextual bias of multiple markets simultaneously on the charts without the need to switch between pairs. This allows traders to monitor various assets in real-time, enhancing decision-making efficiency and identifying potential trading opportunities more effectively.
-----
How does this indicator identify the overall market bias?
This indicator employs a systematic top-down approach, analyzing market structure, fractal blocks, and their mitigations from the 12M timeframe down to the 1D timeframe to uncover the story behind the market. This method helps identify the overall market bias, whether it’s bullish, bearish, or in consolidating conditions.
Below is a flowchart that illustrates the calculation behind the market context identification, demonstrating the systematic approach:
-----
According to the above trade plan, why do we only look for mitigations within Fractal Blocks of X1/X2?
In this context, "X" stands for a break in the market's structure, and the numbers (1 and 2) indicate the sequence of these breaks within the same trend direction, either up or down.
We focus on mitigations within Fractal Blocks during the X1/X2 stages because these points mark the early phase (X1) and the continuation (X2) of a trend. By doing so, we align our trades with the market's main direction and avoid getting stopped out in the middle of trends.
-----
How does this indicator identify ranges in a mechanical way?
Since the indicator is part of the Optirange suite , it follows the exact rules that Optirange utilizes to identify breaks of market structures in a mechanical manner.
Let’s take a closer look at how the ranges are calculated:
1- First, we need to understand the importance of following a set of mechanical rules in identifying market structure:
The image above illustrates the difference between a subjective and a mechanical approach to analyzing market structure. The subjective method often leads to uncertainty, where traders might struggle to pinpoint exact breaks in structure, resulting in inconsistent decision-making. Questions like “Is this a break?” or “Maybe this one...?” reflect the ambiguity of manual interpretation, which can cause confusion and errors in trading.
On the other hand, the mechanical approach depicted on the right side of the image follows a clear, rule-based method to define breaks in market structure. This systematic approach eliminates guesswork by providing precise criteria for identifying structural changes, such as marking structural invalidation levels where market bias shifts from bullish to bearish or vice versa. The mechanical method not only offers consistency but also integrates statistical probabilities , enhancing the trader's ability to make data-driven decisions.
By adhering to these mechanical rules, the Screener indicator ensures that ranges are identified consistently, allowing traders to rely on objective analysis rather than subjective interpretation . This approach is crucial for accurately defining market structures and making informed trading decisions.
2- Now let's take a look at a practical example of how the indicator utilizes Pivot points with a period of 2 to identify ranges:
In this image, we see a Bearish Scenario on the left and a Bullish Scenario on the right. The indicator starts by identifying the first significant swing on the chart. It then validates this swing by checking if there is a preceding swing high (for a bearish scenario) or swing low (for a bullish scenario). Once validated, the indicator confirms a break of structure when price closes below or above these points, respectively.
For instance, in the Bearish Scenario:
The first significant swing is identified.
The script checks for a preceding swing high before confirming any structural break.
A candle closure below the swing low confirms the first bearish break of structure.
This results in a confirmed market bias towards bearishness, with structural liquidity levels indicated for potential price targets.
In the Bullish Scenario:
The process is mirrored, identifying the first swing low and validating it with a preceding swing low.
A closure above this swing confirms the bullish break of structure.
This leads to a market bias towards bullishness, with invalidation levels to watch if the trend shifts.
This practical example demonstrates how the indicator systematically identifies market ranges, ensuring that traders can make informed decisions based on clear, rule-based criteria.
-----
How does this indicator identify ranges in a mechanical way, What are the underlying calculations?
Fractal blocks refer to the most extreme swing candle within the latest break. They can serve as significant levels for price rejection and may guide movements toward the next break, often in confluence with topdown analysis for added confirmation.
-----
What are mitigations, What are the underlying calculations?
Mitigations refer to specific price action occurrences identified by the script:
1- When the price reaches the most recent fractal block and confirms a swing candle, the script automatically draws a line from the swing to the fractal block bar and labels it with a checkmark.
2- If the price wicks through the invalidation level and then retraces back to the fractal block while forming a swing candle, the script labels this as a double mitigation on the chart.
This level will serve as the next potential invalidation level if a break occurs in the same direction.
-----
What does the right table display?
The table located at the right of your chart displays five colored symbols that represent the contextual market bias:
Green: The market is in a bullish condition.
Red: The market is in a bearish condition.
White: The market condition is uncertain, and it is advisable to stay away from trading.
-----
What does the bottom table display?
The bottom table can be turned on in the Optirange indicator and serves multiple purposes:
Range Counts and Mitigations: It shows the range counts and their mitigations across multiple timeframes, providing a comprehensive view of market dynamics.
Hourly Timeframe Probabilities: The bottom row of the bias table displays the probabilities for various hourly timeframes, helping to identify potential entry levels based on the multi-timeframe bias determined by the Screener.
In a bullish market context, you should look for long positions by focusing on hourly timeframes where buy-side probability exceeds 50%.
In a bearish market context, you should look for short positions by focusing on hourly timeframes where the sell-side probability exceeds 50%.
When the symbol is white within the Screener table, it signals that the market bias is unclear, and it's recommended to stay away from trading in such conditions.
-----
How the range probabilities are calculated?
Each break of market structure, denoted as X, is assigned a unique ID, starting from X1 for the first break, X2 for the second, and so on.
The probabilities are calculated based on breaks holding, meaning price closing through the liquidity level, rather than invalidation. This probability is then divided by the total count of similar numeric breaks.
For example, if 75 out of 100 bullish X1s become X2, then the probability of X1 becoming X2 on your charts will be displayed as 75% in the following format: ⬆ 75%
-----
What does the top table display?
The top table on the charts displays the current market context, offering insights into the underlying bias. It highlights the high-timeframe (HTF) bias and guides you on which timeframes you should use to enter long or short positions, based on the probability of success.
Additionally, when the market bias is unclear, the table clearly signals that it's best to avoid trading that specific market until the context or market story becomes clearer. This helps traders make informed decisions and avoid uncertain market conditions.
-----
How does the Screener indicator identify the market bias/context/story ?
- Market Structure: The Optirange indicator analyzes market structure across multiple timeframes, from a top-down perspective, including 12M, 6M, 3M, 1M, 2W, 1W, 3D, and 1D.
- Fractal Blocks: Once the market structure or current range is identified, the indicator automatically identifies the last push before the break and draws it as a box. These zones acts as a key area where the price often rejects from.
- Mitigations: After identifying the Fractal Block, the indicator checks for price mitigation or rejection within this zone. If mitigation occurs, meaning the price has reacted or rejected from the Fractal Block, the indicator draws a checkmark from the deepest candle within the Fractal Block to the initial candle that has created the zone.
- Bias Table: After identifying the three key elements—market structure, Fractal Blocks, and price mitigations—the indicator compiles this information into a multi-timeframe table. This table provides a comprehensive top-down perspective, showing what is happening from a structural standpoint across all timeframes. The Bias Table presents raw data, including identified Fractal Blocks and mitigations, to help traders understand the overall market trend. This data is crucial for the screener, which uses it to determine the current market bias based on a top-down analysis.
- Screener: Once all higher timeframes (HTF) and lower timeframes (LTF) are calculated using the indicator, it follows the exact rules outlined in the flowchart to determine the market bias. This systematic approach not only helps identify the current market trend but also suggests the exact timeframes to use for finding entry, particularly on hourly timeframes.
Example:
12M Timeframe:
OANDA:EURUSD
6M Timeframe :
OANDA:EURUSD
3M Timeframe :
OANDA:EURUSD
1M Timeframe :
OANDA:EURUSD
2W Timeframe :
OANDA:EURUSD
1W Timeframe :
OANDA:EURUSD

Liquidations [ChartPrime]Liquidations Indicator:
The Liquidations indicator is a powerful tool designed to help traders identify significant liquidation levels in financial markets. By analyzing volume data over a specified lookback period, the indicator highlights potential areas where market participants with high leverage positions may face liquidation, providing valuable insights into market dynamics.
Usage:
Traders can use the Liquidations indicator to:
◈ Identify liquidity grab opportunities: Liquidation levels often attract price action as market participants with leveraged positions face the risk of forced liquidation. Traders can anticipate price movements as the market aims to trigger these stops, potentially leading to rapid price movements or reversals.
◈ Confirm trend strength: A cluster of liquidation levels in the same direction as the prevailing trend may confirm the strength of the trend, while divergences between liquidation levels and price movements may signal potential trend reversals.
Settings:
◈ Previous Value Bars Back: Specifies the number of previous bars used in calculating the liquidation levels.
◈ Show Leverage: Allows users to selectively display liquidation levels for different leverage multiples, including 5x, 10x, 25x, 50x, and 100x.
◈ Liquidation Levels Width: Sets the width of the lines representing liquidation levels on the chart.
◈ Short Liquidations Color: Specifies the color of the lines representing short liquidation levels.
◈ Long Liquidations Color: Specifies the color of the lines representing long liquidation levels.
◈ Bar Color: Sets the color of the background bar when the indicator is active.
Visual Representation:
◈ Liquidation levels are plotted as horizontal lines on the chart, with different colors representing short and long liquidation levels.
◈ Each liquidation level is labeled with the corresponding leverage multiple (e.g., 5x, 10x, etc.).
A dashboard displays the active liquidation levels for each leverage multiple, allowing traders to quickly assess the current market conditions.
◈ Time Window allows users to cut off unnecessary part of the chart and concentrate on a current active part of the chart to make better trading decisions:
Interpretation:
Market participants tend to place stop-loss orders near liquidation levels , creating clusters of pending orders. As price approaches these levels, it may trigger a cascade of stop-loss orders, providing liquidity for market orders and potentially leading to rapid price movements in the opposite direction.
Traders can anticipate price reversals or accelerations as price interacts with liquidation levels, using them as reference points for identifying potential entry or exit opportunities.
Note:
While the Liquidations indicator provides valuable insights into market dynamics, traders should use it in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and risk management strategies to make informed trading decisions.
Volume Profile with Node Detection [LuxAlgo]The Volume Profile with Node Detection is a charting tool that allows visualizing the distribution of traded volume across specific price levels and highlights significant volume nodes or clusters of volume nodes that traders may find relevant in utilizing in their trading strategies.
🔶 USAGE
The volume profile component of the script serves as the foundation for node detection while encompassing all the essential features expected from a volume profile. See the sub-sections below for more detailed information about the indicator components and their usage.
🔹 Peak Volume Node Detection
A volume peak node is identified when the volume profile nodes for the N preceding and N succeeding nodes are lower than that of the evaluated one.
Displaying peak volume nodes along with their surrounding N nodes (Zones or Clusters) helps visualize the range, typically representing consolidation zones in the market. This feature enables traders to identify areas where trading activity has intensified, potentially signaling periods of price consolidation or indecision among market participants.
🔹 Trough Volume Node Detection
A volume trough node is identified when the volume profile nodes for the N preceding and N succeeding nodes are higher than that of the evaluated one.
🔹 Highest and Lowest Volume Nodes
Both the highest and lowest volume areas play significant roles in trading. The highest volume areas typically represent zones of strong price acceptance, where a significant amount of trading activity has occurred. On the other hand, the lowest volume areas signify price levels with minimal trading activity, often indicating zones of price rejection or areas where market participants have shown less interest.
🔹 Volume profile
Volume profile is calculated based on the volume of trades that occur at various price levels within a specified timeframe. It divides the price range into discrete price intervals, typically known as "price buckets" or "price bars," and then calculates the total volume of trades that occur at each price level within those intervals. This information is then presented graphically as a histogram or profile, where the height of each bar represents the volume of trades that occurred at that particular price level.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Volume Nodes
Volume Peaks: Toggles the visibility of either the "Peaks" or "Clusters" on the chart, depending on the specified percentage for detection.
Node Detection Percent %: Specifies the percentage for the Volume Peaks calculation.
Volume Troughs: Toggles the visibility of either the "Troughs" or "Clusters" on the chart, depending on the specified percentage for detection.
Node Detection Percent %: Specifies the percentage for the Volume Troughs calculation.
Volume Node Threshold %: A threshold value specified as a percentage is utilized to detect peak/trough volume nodes. If a value is set, the detection will disregard volume node values lower than the specified threshold.
Highest Volume Nodes: Toggles the visibility of the highest nodes for the specified count.
Lowest Volume Nodes: Toggles the visibility of the lowest nodes for the specified count.
🔹 Volume Profile - Components

Money Flow Profile [LuxAlgo]The Money Flow Profile is a charting tool that measures the traded volume or the money flow at all price levels on the market over a specified time period and highlights the relationship between the price of a given asset and the willingness of traders to either buy or sell it, allowing traders to reveal dominant and/or significant price levels and to analyze the trading activity of a particular user-selected range.
This tool combines a volume/money flow profile, a sentiment profile, and price levels, where the right side of the profile highlights the distribution of the traded activity/money flow at different price levels, the left side of the profile highlights the market sentiment at those price levels, and in the middle the price levels.
🔶 USAGE
A volume/money flow profile is an advanced charting tool that displays the traded volume/money flow at different price levels over a specific period. It helps traders visualize where the majority of trading activity/money flow has occurred.
A sentiment profile is a difference between buy and sell volume/money flow aiming to highlight the sentiment/dominance at specific price levels.
Each row of the profile presents figures on volume and money flow specific to price levels.
High volume/money flow nodes indicate areas of high activity and are likely to act as support or resistance in the future. They attract price and try to hold it there. Conversely, low-volume nodes are areas with low trading activity, that are less subject to get revisited by the price. The market often bounces right over these levels, not staying for long. The "Profile Heatmap" option of the script helps to better emphasize the trading activity within each areas.
By measuring the traded activity at each price level the script presents an ability to highlight the consolidation zones, in other words, highlights accumulation and distribution zones. When the price moves toward one end of the consolidation and volume pick up, it can foreshadow a potential breakout.
Level of Significance, Point of Control, Highest Sentiment Zone, and Profile Price levels are some of the other profile-related options available with the script.
🔶 SETTINGS

Fair Value Gap Absorption Indicator [LuxAlgo]The Fair Value Gap Absorption Indicator aims to detect fair value gap imbalances and tracks the mitigation status of the detected fair value gap by highlighting the mitigation level till a new fair value gap is detected.
The Fair Value Gap (FVG) is a widely utilized tool among price action traders to detect market inefficiencies or imbalances. These imbalances arise when buying or selling pressure is significant, resulting in a large upward or downward move, leaving behind an imbalance in the market.
🔶 USAGE
A fair value gap appears in a triple-candle pattern when there is a large candle whose previous candle’s high and subsequent candle’s low do not fully overlap the large candle. The space between these wicks is known as the fair value gap.
Price can come back to these imbalance areas and mitigate them, however, this is sometimes a process involving multiple bars, the displayed imbalances by the indicator allow tracking the current mitigation level of a displayed imbalance.
Fair value gaps can become a magnet for the price before continuing in the same direction. Traders commonly wait for the price to revert toward the fair value gap to clear out the imbalance before continuing to move toward the prevailing trend.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹Fair Value Gaps
Fair Value Gap Width Filter: defines the filtering multiplier, please refer to the tooltip of the input option for further details.
Bullish, Imbalance and Mitigation: color customization option.
Bearish, Imbalance and Mitigation: color customization option.
Display Percentage of Mitigation: Display the percentage of the mitigation areas.
Historical Fair Value Gaps: toggles the visibility of the historical fair value gaps.
🔶 LIMITATIONS
Please note that filtering cannot be applied for the first 144 (atr fixed-length) candles since the atr value won't be present that is used for filtering.

VOLD Ratio (Volume Difference Ratio) by TenozenAnother helpful indicator is here! VOLD Ratio is calculated by the net volume of a buying candle, divided by the net volume of a sell candle.
Formula:
buying net volume/selling net volume
It's a simple indicator, but don't underestimate this simplicity. It's a powerful indicator that would help you to decide whether the volume is getting interested in the direction that the market would take. So assume when the market is above the Bollinger Bands, it means that the volume is at a buying extreme, by that, we could expect the market to get back towards the mean, as there is a lot of buying demand that entered the market. How about below the Bollinger Bands? it means that the volume is at a selling extreme, we could expect that there is a lot of volume getting in toward the sellers, so we could take advantage of the opportunity to go for a long. Lastly, the Bollinger Bands would help you guys to determine the liquidity of the market, if the Bollinger Bands get smaller over time, it means there is no interest for the market to enter yet, and if the Bollinger Bands get bigger over time, it means there is interest for the market to enter in the session.
Tips & Reminder:
- We shouldn't use this indicator by itself, make sure to use an Indicator that would help you guys to determine the momentum and the liquidity of the market.
- The higher the timeframe, the slower this indicator would signal an entry, by that use a smaller timeframe... I suggest using a 15M chart for the execution.
- Always trade in the medium-longterm direction if you want to have a high probability trade.
- Be patient in your execution, it's more likely the market would go higher or lower after going in the extreme of the Bollinger Bands.
Well, that's it! Hope you guys enjoy using this indicator, let me know if there is any question or suggestion. Ciao...
New York ZonesHello traders, here is a indicator which is based on a strategy I found on a forum. I hope you will find it useful.
Rules to Follow:
1) Wait for signal . Signal appears at 9:30. (New York time)
2) Wait for price to mitigate the zone
3) Sell anywhere in this range after or during zone mitigation.
4) Keep stop Wide to avoid getting stopped out.
5) Target the previous liquidity with minimum 3RR.
6) Look for opposite trade if zone fails to hold , with proper analysis
Note :
1) This Indicator is made specifically for US30 and US100 (Indices) but can be used with other pairs as well (need back testing)
2) I would not recommend to place the trade right away as soon as signal appears , wait for liquidity to be taken out and place a trade after confirmation.
3) Trades can be placed below the zone as well but the probability of entry may decrease ,while increasing the accuracy.
4) Use timeframe <= 5 min to take entries.
Trade scenarios
Perfect trade :
Price failed to hold, you got stopped out and market changes direction :
Price respect zone in future:
Simulated Liquidations V1.0 [CE]Simulated Liquidations is an custom calculation done on crypto symbols to bring liquidation data that is not available directly,
using a denomination of time/oi/volume/location the indicator aims to calculate accurately shaped zones for where liquidations are occurring.
Using the indicator can be useful to determine where moves may continue e.g. short side liquidations leading to short covering increasing the buying pressure.
In areas where traders may see buying demand + short covering this can lead to a "squeeze" and continued upward momentum.
Additionally we can use the liquidations in reversion strategies as well, as liquidations are sort after, when liquidity is then taken, we can see this as an opportunity to play reversion
with the necessary liquidity being "hunted" and no longer a magnet for price to revisit therefore price can then return to the mean.
The indicator also has 2 available modes, relative liquidations/normal.
The relative mode can be seen above which will make liquidations more visible when larger/significant, as well as highlight the liquidations when hitting extreme thresholds.
Below is an example with relative mode off.
To Do:
Add Custom Alerts
Add User Customizable Relative zones
User customizable relative zones will be added soon, this will allow users to determine the thresholds for highlighting relative zones.
A screenshot of another chart is shown on the indicator, this is to highlight its accuracy in simulating liquidations.
Global Net Liquidity - Dow Jones Global Fair ValueThis is similar to Global Net Liquidity - SPX Fair Value except it's for Dow Jones Global (symbol: W1DOW here on TradingView).
This is experimental and may change at any time.
OI liquidity mapThe start of a liquidity heatmap
Data
Binance open interest
Open Interest the right way
When the open interest increases both new short and new long are opened.
Tradingview data is very limited. It is an approximation
How it works
if the open interest increases more than OI volume trigger (eg. 5 millions on the 5 minutes timeframe), we are creating a box.
The gradient of the box changes when there is multiple opening in the same price area.
Snipper
Boxes are for the candles.
The lines are for the new long and short open in a minute timeframe.
They are more precise and liquidity hunt happens often but there is a limitation on the number displayed.
