UK100 London Judas & IFVG SetupUK100 London Judas & IFVG Setup
Overview This indicator is a specialized trading tool designed to automate the ICT Judas Swing strategy specifically for the UK100 (FTSE 100) index during the London Market Open. It combines institutional time-based logic with price action confirmation using Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVG) to identify high-probability reversal setups.
How It Works The strategy is based on the concept that the initial move after the London Open is often a "fake-out" (manipulation) designed to trap retail traders and engineer liquidity before the true trend of the day begins.
Session & Opening Price:
The script marks the London Open price (default 09:00 Warsaw / 08:00 London time) with a dashed line.
This serves as the "line in the sand." Prices moving away from this line initially are monitored for manipulation.
Judas Swing (Liquidity Sweep):
If price moves BELOW the open, it is hunting Sell-Side Liquidity (trapping sellers).
If price moves ABOVE the open, it is hunting Buy-Side Liquidity (trapping buyers).
The Entry Trigger: Inversion FVG (IFVG):
The indicator scans for Fair Value Gaps (FVG) created during the manipulation phase.
BUY Signal: The price manipulates lower, creates a Bearish FVG (Red Box), but then aggressively reverses and closes ABOVE that gap. The gap is now "Inverted" (turns Green), acting as support.
SELL Signal: The price manipulates higher, creates a Bullish FVG (Green Box), but then aggressively reverses and closes BELOW that gap. The gap is now "Inverted" (turns Orange), acting as resistance.
Key Features
Automated Pattern Recognition: No need to manually draw gaps. The script detects valid FVG inversions that align with the Judas Swing logic.
Built-in Risk Calculator: The signal labels display the exact Lot Size you should use based on your account balance and risk percentage (default 0.5%). It calculates this dynamically based on the Stop Loss distance.
Institutional Targets: The indicator fetches H1 Fractals (Liquidity) from the 1-hour timeframe and plots them on your 1-minute chart as blue lines. These are your primary Take Profit (TP) levels.
Stop Loss Visualization: Automatically suggests a Stop Loss placement behind the swing high/low of the reversal structure.
How to Use
Timeframe: Set your chart to 1 Minute (1m).
Asset: UK100 (FTSE 100).
Wait: Allow the London session to open. Watch for price to move away from the opening line.
Execute: When a BUY or SELL label appears:
Enter the trade using the Lot Size shown on the label.
Set your Stop Loss at the price shown on the label.
Target the blue H1 Liquidity lines for profit taking.
Settings
Timezone: Set this to your chart/exchange timezone (Default: Europe/Warsaw).
Account Balance: Input your current trading capital (e.g., 100,000) for accurate risk calculations.
Risk Per Trade %: The percentage of your account you are willing to lose if the Stop Loss is hit (Standard: 0.5% - 1.0%).
Contract Size: The value of 1 point movement (Check your broker's specifications. Usually 1 for CFDs).
Alerts You can set a single alert in TradingView to capture all signals. Select the indicator and choose "Any alert() function call". You will receive a notification with the direction (Buy/Sell), Entry Price, and Lot Size.

Supfabio Break-Return BandsSupfabio Break-Return Bands (B3 & B4 • 3-Candle Confirmation)
Supfabio Break-Return Bands is a volatility-based price action indicator built on top of a Two-Pole smoothing filter combined with ATR-derived dynamic bands.
It is designed to highlight price exhaustion, rejection, and potential reversal zones, with a strong emphasis on structural confirmation rather than immediate breakouts.
Core Concept
The indicator plots four volatility bands (Band 1 to Band 4) above and below a smoothed Two-Pole filter.
Signals are intentionally restricted to the outer bands, where price behavior is statistically more likely to show:
Volatility expansion
Liquidity grabs (stop runs / false breaks)
Strong rejection or mean-reversion behavior
Signal Logic
Band 4 (Primary Extreme Zone)
BUY and SELL signals are generated when:
Initial trigger (first candle)
Price either crosses the Band 4 level or
Touches and rejects the band (wick / pin behavior)
Confirmation on the 3rd candle (t + 2)
The confirmation candle:
Must not touch the same band again
Must close on the correct side of the band
Confirms that the initial break or pin was rejected
This delayed confirmation helps filter false breakouts and impulsive entries.
Band 3 (Secondary Setup)
On Band 3, signals are intentionally more selective:
Pin / rejection only
No direct cross signals
Uses the same 3-candle confirmation logic
This allows Band 3 signals to act as deeper pullback or early exhaustion setups.
Confirmation Mechanism
The script uses an internal state-based logic to:
Track the exact bar where the trigger occurred
Confirm signals only on the correct third candle
Prevent duplicate or consecutive signals from the same setup
Ensure pin-based triggers are not missed
Visual Elements
Main Two-Pole filter plotted as a thick continuous line
Volatility bands plotted with progressive line thickness
Band line styles (dotted / dashed) can be customized manually in the Style tab
Clear BUY and SELL labels plotted directly on the confirmation candle
Optional candle coloring based on filter direction
Alerts & Automation
Built-in alertcondition() for BUY and SELL
Alerts are suitable for webhook automation
Compatible with external systems and trading bots
Intended Use
This indicator is suitable for:
Reversal and exhaustion analysis
Mean-reversion strategies
Liquidity and rejection-based setups
Manual trading or automated execution
Intraday and higher-timeframe analysis
Notes
This script is intended as an analytical tool, not as a standalone trading system.
Signals should be used in combination with market structure, trend context, and proper risk management.
GARCH Volume Volatility [MarkitTick]Title: GARCH Volume Volatility
Description
Overview
The GARCH Volume Volatility (GV) indicator is a sophisticated quantitative tool designed to analyze the rate of change in market participation. While the vast majority of technical indicators focus on Price Volatility (how much price moves), this script focuses on Volume Volatility (how unstable the participation is).
Market volume is rarely distributed evenly; it tends to cluster. Periods of high activity are often followed by more high activity, and periods of calm tend to persist. This behavior is known as "heteroskedasticity." This script utilizes an Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) model—a core component of Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) frameworks—to model these changing variance regimes.
By isolating volume volatility from raw volume data, this tool helps traders distinguish between sustainable liquidity flows and erratic, unsustainable volume shocks that often precede market reversals or breakouts.
Methodology and Calculations
1. Logarithmic vs. Percentage Returns
The foundation of this indicator is the calculation of "Volume Returns"—the period-over-period change in volume.
- The script defaults to Logarithmic Returns. In financial statistics, log returns are preferred because they normalize data that can vary wildly in magnitude (such as cryptocurrency volume spikes), providing a more symmetric view of changes.
- Users can opt for standard percentage changes if they prefer a linear approach.
2. Variance Proxy (Squared Returns)
To measure volatility, the direction of the volume change (up or down) matters less than the magnitude. The script squares the returns to create a "Variance Proxy." This ensures that a massive drop in volume is treated with the same statistical weight as a massive spike in volume—both represent a significant change in the volatility of participation.
3. GARCH-Style Smoothing (EWMA)
Standard Moving Averages (SMA) treat all data points in the lookback period equally. However, volatility is dynamic. This script uses an EWMA model with a tunable "Lambda" (Decay Factor).
- The Recursive Formula: The current calculation relies on a weighted average of the current variance and the previous period's smoothed variance.
- Memory Effect: This allows the indicator to "remember" recent volatility shocks while gradually letting their influence fade. This mimics the GARCH process of conditional variance.
4. Dynamic Statistical Thresholds
The final output is the Volatility (square root of variance). To make this data actionable, the script calculates a dynamic upper and lower limit based on the standard deviation (Z-Score) of the volatility itself over a user-defined lookback period.
How to Use
The indicator plots a histogram that categorizes the market into four distinct volatility regimes:
1. High Volatility (Red Histogram)
Trigger: Volatility > High Band (Upper Standard Deviation).
Interpretation: This signals an extreme anomaly in volume stability. This is not just "high volume," but "erratic volume behavior." This often occurs at:
- Capitulation bottoms (panic selling).
- Euphoric tops (blow-off tops).
- Major news events or earnings releases.
2. Elevated Volatility (Maroon Histogram)
Trigger: Volatility > Mean Average.
Interpretation: The market is in an active state. Participation is changing rapidly, but within statistically normal bounds. This is common during healthy, trending moves where new participants are entering the market steadily.
3. Normal/Low Volatility (Green Histogram)
Trigger: Volatility is within the lower bands.
Interpretation: The market volume is stable. There are no sudden shocks in participation. This is typical of consolidation phases or "creeping" trends where the price drifts without significant volume conviction.
4. Extremely Low Volatility (Bright Green/Transparent)
Trigger: Volatility < Low Band.
Interpretation: The "calm before the storm." When volume volatility collapses to near-zero, it implies that the market has reached a state of equilibrium or disinterest. Historically, volatility is cyclical; periods of extreme compression often lead to violent expansion.
Settings and Configuration
Core Settings
- Use EWMA: When checked (Default), uses the recursive GARCH-style calculation. If unchecked, it reverts to a simple SMA of variance, which is less sensitive to recent shocks but more stable.
- Log Returns: Uses natural log for calculations. Highly recommended for assets with exponential growth or large volume ranges.
- Length: The baseline period for the calculation.
- Threshold Lookback: The number of bars used to calculate the Mean and Standard Deviation bands.
- EWMA Lambda: The decay factor (0.0 to 1.0). A value of 0.94 is standard for risk metrics.
-- Higher Lambda (e.g., 0.98): The indicator reacts slower and is smoother (long memory).
-- Lower Lambda (e.g., 0.80): The indicator reacts very fast to new data (short memory).
Visuals
- Show Thresholds: Toggles the visibility of the statistical bands on the chart.
- High Band (StdDev): The multiplier for the upper warning zone. Default is 1.5 deviations. Increasing this to 2.0 or 3.0 will filter for only the most extreme events.
Disclaimer This tool is for educational and technical analysis purposes only. Breakouts can fail (fake-outs), and past geometric patterns do not guarantee future price action. Always manage risk and use this tool in conjunction with other forms of analysis.
KIMATIX LITE AbsorptionThis indicator highlights absorption intensity directly on the chart using numeric sigma values only.
It is a deliberately reduced, signal-agnostic visualization designed to expose where significant absorption occurs, without adding levels, lines, or trade logic.
What you see
Numeric sigma values on candles
Each number represents the strength of absorption measured in standard deviations (σ).
Color-coded context
Green numbers below price → sell-side absorption
Red numbers above price → buy-side absorption
Only values that exceed the Minimum Sigma threshold are displayed.
No lines, zones, triangles, or alerts are shown — only the raw absorption magnitude.
How it works (LITE Version)
Absorption is derived from volume relative to candle structure
Values are normalized and filtered using:
A fixed statistical lookback
Wick dominance rules to avoid noise
Only statistically significant events (σ ≥ threshold) are visualized
All other calculations run silently in the background.
Intended use
This Lite version is meant to:
Identify areas of aggressive participation or defense
Spot potential absorption during trends or ranges
Provide context for liquidity, exhaustion, or hidden interest
It is not a trading system and does not generate entries or exits.
Use it as a contextual layer alongside your own execution logic.
The full version is distributed separately.

⚠️ COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID
❌ MISTAKE 1: Trading against all VWAPs
→ If price < Daily, Weekly, Monthly VWAP → DON'T buy
→ Wait for confluence or trend change
❌ MISTAKE 2: Ignoring sessions
→ NY VWAP at 8am has NO validity
→ Respect session start/end times
❌ MISTAKE 3: Over-trading VWAP touches
→ Every VWAP touch is NOT a signal
→ Wait for confluence + volume + pattern
❌ MISTAKE 4: Wrong time configuration
→ Check your timezone
→ Adjust hours according to your location
❌ MISTAKE 5: Neglecting volume
→ VWAP crossover without volume is WEAK
→ Volume > average = more reliable signal
❌ MISTAKE 6: Forgetting HTF context
→ Always check higher timeframe
→ Daily chart for intraday, Weekly for swing
❌ MISTAKE 7: Too tight stop loss
→ Place stop BEYOND ±3σ band
→ Give position room to breathe
❌ MISTAKE 8: Using only VWAP
→ COMBINE with: RSI, Volume Profile, Support/Resistance
→ VWAP is a tool, not a complete strategy

SLO Pro-J-Algo # Smart Liquidity & OTE Analysis Tool
## OVERVIEW
This indicator is designed for traders who utilize institutional trading concepts, specifically liquidity sweeps and optimal trade entry (OTE) zones, combined with session-based market structure analysis. It identifies potential market manipulation points where stop losses are likely clustered, and highlights high-probability entry zones based on Fibonacci retracements.
The tool combines four main analytical components that work synergistically to identify trading opportunities aligned with smart money behavior.
---
## CORE CONCEPTS & METHODOLOGY
### 1. TRADING SESSIONS ANALYSIS
**What it does:**
The indicator tracks three major forex trading sessions with customizable time zones:
- **Asian Session** (Default: 01:00-13:00 UTC+4) - Typically characterized by range-bound price action
- **London Session** (Default: 11:00-20:00 UTC+4) - High volatility period with increased institutional activity
- **New York Session** (Default: 17:00-00:00 UTC+4) - Overlaps with London creating peak liquidity
**How it works:**
- Automatically highlights active sessions with colored background boxes
- Draws session high/low lines which often act as intraday support/resistance
- Identifies session overlaps (e.g., London-NY overlap) where volatility and liquidity are highest
- Color-codes the price bars during overlaps to alert traders to increased opportunity periods
- Displays real-time session status (🟢 Open / 🔴 Closed) for quick reference
**Trading Application:**
Session highs and lows frequently become liquidity targets. The indicator helps traders anticipate when price might sweep these levels before continuing in the original direction. Session overlaps are prime times for major moves as multiple institutional players are active simultaneously.
---
### 2. EXTERNAL LIQUIDITY SWEEPS
**What it does:**
Identifies when price "sweeps" or breaks beyond significant swing highs and lows where stop losses are typically clustered. These sweeps often precede reversals or continuations after liquidity is collected.
**How it works:**
- Scans the previous 20 bars (configurable) to identify swing high and low points
- Marks these levels as "buyside liquidity" (above highs) or "sellside liquidity" (below lows)
- Monitors price action using three detection methods:
* **Wick Break:** Any candle wick extending beyond the liquidity level
* **Close Break:** Candle body closing beyond the level (stronger confirmation)
* **Full Retrace:** Price breaks the level then closes back inside the range (classic liquidity grab)
- Uses an ATR-based buffer to avoid false signals from minor price spikes
- Confirms sweeps only after a configurable number of confirmation bars to reduce repainting
**The Logic Behind It:**
Institutional traders need liquidity to fill large orders. Stop losses clustered above swing highs and below swing lows provide this liquidity. When these levels are swept, it often indicates smart money is entering positions in the opposite direction, causing reversals.
**Visual Representation:**
- Blue horizontal lines mark buyside liquidity zones (above price)
- Gray horizontal lines mark sellside liquidity zones (below price)
- Labels indicate when liquidity has been swept (✓) or remains active
- Historical zones are maintained for context (configurable display limit)
---
### 3. INTERNAL LIQUIDITY DETECTION
**What it does:**
Identifies equal highs (EQH) and equal lows (EQL) within recent price action - levels that have been tested multiple times without breaking. These represent internal liquidity pools that price often revisits before making larger moves.
**How it works:**
- Examines the most recent 8 bars (configurable) for price levels that occur multiple times
- Uses an ATR-based threshold (default 0.1% of ATR) to determine if highs or lows are "equal"
- Requires minimum 3 occurrences (configurable) of the same level to qualify as internal liquidity
- Tracks both the creation and sweeping of these internal levels
- Differentiates between wick breaks and close breaks for sweep confirmation
**The Concept:**
Unlike external liquidity at swing points, internal liquidity represents recent stop clusters and pending orders within the current price structure. Identifying these levels helps traders anticipate short-term price targets and potential reversal points before larger directional moves.
**Why This Matters:**
Price often needs to clear internal liquidity before making sustained moves to external liquidity levels. This creates a "roadmap" of where price is likely to go in sequence, improving trade timing.
**Visual Representation:**
- Cyan lines mark internal buyside liquidity (equal highs)
- Orange lines mark internal sellside liquidity (equal lows)
- Dashed or solid lines based on user preference
- Labels show when internal levels are swept
---
### 4. OPTIMAL TRADE ENTRY (OTE) ZONES
**What it does:**
Calculates and displays Fibonacci retracement zones (0.618-0.786) from recent swing points, representing "discount" or "premium" areas where institutional traders often enter positions after a liquidity sweep or structure break.
**How it works:**
- Identifies swing highs and lows using a 10-bar lookback period (configurable)
- Calculates three key Fibonacci levels:
* **0.618** - The "golden ratio" retracement (most significant)
* **0.705** - Mid-point between 0.618 and 0.786
* **0.786** - Deep retracement level (square root of 0.618)
- Optionally requires a structure break before displaying OTE zones
- Dynamically extends zones as new price action develops
- Tracks whether price has entered the zone (✅) or exited without filling (❌)
- Displays up to 2 most recent zones (configurable) to avoid chart clutter
**The Methodology:**
OTE zones represent areas where price is at a "discount" (for longs) or "premium" (for shorts) relative to the recent swing. After a liquidity sweep or structure break, institutional traders often wait for retracements into these zones before entering, as it offers better risk-to-reward ratios.
**Combining with Liquidity:**
The most powerful setups occur when:
1. External liquidity is swept
2. Price retraces into an OTE zone
3. Internal liquidity is present as a target
This confluence suggests smart money activity and high-probability trade opportunities.
**Visual Representation:**
- Shaded blue zone between 0.618 and 0.786 levels
- Three horizontal lines showing key Fibonacci levels with different colors/styles
- Labels (🎯) indicate bullish or bearish OTE zones
- Entry (✅) and exit (❌) status for each zone
---
## WHY THESE FEATURES WORK TOGETHER
This indicator combines these four components because they represent different stages of institutional trading behavior:
1. **Session Timing** - Identifies WHEN institutional activity is highest
2. **Liquidity Sweeps** - Shows WHERE smart money is collecting liquidity
3. **OTE Zones** - Highlights WHERE institutional entries likely occur after sweeps
4. **Internal Liquidity** - Provides SHORT-TERM targets for profit-taking or add-ons
Rather than using each concept in isolation, this integration creates a complete market structure framework. For example:
- A buyside liquidity sweep during London open →
- Followed by a retrace into a bullish OTE zone →
- With internal sellside liquidity as the initial target
This sequence represents a complete high-probability trade setup aligned with smart money principles.
---
## ANTI-REPAINTING FEATURES
**The Repainting Problem:**
Many indicators that identify patterns on historical data repaint their signals when live trading, showing signals that weren't actually there in real-time. This creates a false sense of accuracy.
**Our Solution:**
- **Confirmation Bars Setting:** Signals only appear after X bars have confirmed the pattern (default: 2 bars)
- **Marked Confirmation:** Labels show "C" when using confirmed signals
- **Trade-off:** More confirmation = less repainting but slightly delayed signals
- **User Control:** Traders can toggle between real-time signals (faster but may repaint) and confirmed signals (delayed but reliable)
---
## KEY CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS
### Master Controls

- Combine only the features relevant to your trading style
### Display Settings
- Adjust lookback periods for each component
- Control number of historical zones displayed
- Customize colors, line styles, and transparency
- Show/hide labels and session names
- Configure text sizes for different screen setups
### Detection Sensitivity
- **Sweep Detection:** Choose between wick breaks, close breaks, or full retraces
- **ATR Buffer:** Add distance requirements to confirm sweeps (reduces false signals)
- **Equal Level Threshold:** Adjust how close levels must be to qualify as "equal"
- **Confirmation Bars:** Balance between signal speed and reliability
### Alert System
- Session open/close notifications
- Liquidity sweep alerts
- OTE zone entry alerts
- Configurable alert frequency and types
---
## HOW TO USE THIS INDICATOR
### Basic Setup
1. Add the indicator to your chart (works on all timeframes, though 5M-1H recommended for intraday)
2. Enable the features you want to use via Master Controls
3. Adjust colors and transparency to match your chart preferences
4. Configure alert preferences if using notifications
### Trading Workflow
**Step 1: Identify the Session**
- Determine which trading session is active or approaching
- Note session highs/lows as potential liquidity targets
- Be especially alert during session overlaps
**Step 2: Watch for Liquidity Sweeps**
- Monitor external liquidity lines (swing highs/lows)
- When price sweeps liquidity, anticipate a potential reversal
- Stronger sweeps (close breaks + full retraces) are more significant
**Step 3: Wait for OTE Retracement**
- After a sweep, wait for price to retrace into the OTE zone (0.618-0.786)
- Bullish OTE after sellside sweep = potential long
- Bearish OTE after buyside sweep = potential short
**Step 4: Use Internal Liquidity as Targets**
- Look for internal liquidity in the direction of your trade
- These serve as initial profit targets
- External liquidity serves as extended targets
**Step 5: Manage Confirmation Settings**
- For live trading, use confirmed signals (2+ confirmation bars)
- For backtesting or analysis, you may use real-time signals
- Note that confirmed signals appear with "C" marking
### Example Trade Scenarios
**Bullish Setup:**
1. London session opens (increased volume)
2. Price sweeps sellside liquidity below Asian low
3. Price retraces into bullish OTE zone (0.618-0.786 of the sweep move)
4. Target internal buyside liquidity, then external buyside liquidity
**Bearish Setup:**
1. NY session overlap with London (peak liquidity)
2. Price sweeps buyside liquidity above recent high
3. Price retraces into bearish OTE zone
4. Target internal sellside liquidity, then session lows

Liquidity_Detection_Fx_Shepherd [ALLDYN]### Breakdown of the Basic "Fx_Shepherd_Liquidity" Script
#### 1. **Purpose of the Script:**
This basic version of the "Fx_Shepherd_Liquidity" script is designed to help traders detect potential liquidity grabs by analyzing price movements and candle patterns in the market. It works by identifying large price deviations and compares multiple candles to detect liquidity sweeps either to the upside or downside.
#### 2. **How it Works:**
- **User Inputs:**
- `Maru_rate`: This is a user-defined percentage that helps determine how much the price movement of a candle needs to deviate from the candle's range (high - low) to be considered a liquidity grab.
- `Compare`: Another percentage input used to compare the relative size of three candles versus one candle.
- `MA`: This represents the "Big candle period," or the moving average period for big candles.
- `urgent_rate`: This is used to determine urgency by comparing the current candle's range to an SMA of previous candles.
- **Key Calculation Steps:**
- **Candle Deviation (Up and Down):**
- `Up` measures how much the current candle closes above its open (bullish deviation).
- `Down` measures how much the current candle closes below its open (bearish deviation).
- **Average Deviations:**
- `UP_Sum` and `Do_Sum` calculate the SMA of Up and Down deviations, respectively, over the defined period (MA). These averages help detect when a candle deviates significantly from the norm.
- **Urgency Detection:**
- `Check_Up_Urgent` and `Check_Dow_Urgent` are conditions that check if the current candle’s high-low range exceeds the defined urgent rate. This signals whether the price movement is "urgent" or significant.
- **Liquidity Detection:**
- **For Upward Liquidity:**
- The script checks if the candle is bullish (`close > open`) and whether the price deviation (`close - open`) meets or exceeds the user-defined `Maru_rate`.
- The script then compares the size of the previous three candles (`high - low`) with a single candle (`Compare`) to confirm a liquidity grab.
- Finally, it looks for continuous upward candle patterns to confirm the strength of the move.
- **For Downward Liquidity:**
- Similar logic applies, but for bearish candles. It checks whether the candle is bearish (`close < open`) and applies the same size comparisons to detect downward liquidity grabs.
- **Candle Highlighting:**
- If the conditions for a liquidity grab are met (both urgency and size), the script changes the bar color to green for upward liquidity and yellow for downward liquidity. These colored bars visually highlight the candles that meet the liquidity grab conditions.
- The script also colors up to three consecutive candles if they meet the liquidity grab conditions (offset = -1, -2).
#### 3. **Benefits of Using This Script:**
- **Liquidity Grab Detection:**
This script helps detect potential liquidity grabs, which occur when large players in the market push the price in a direction to trigger stop-losses or lure retail traders into a position before reversing the price direction. By detecting these movements, traders can avoid being trapped and potentially take advantage of the upcoming reversal.
- **Simple & Lightweight:**
The script uses basic inputs and calculations to detect liquidity grabs, making it easy to use and understand. It's less complex than the advanced version, which makes it suitable for traders who prefer simplicity or are new to liquidity grab detection.
- **Visual Clarity:**
The script uses color changes (green for upward grabs and yellow for downward grabs) to help traders easily spot potential liquidity grab areas on the chart. These visual cues make it more straightforward to interpret.
#### 4. **When to Use This Basic Version:**
- **Quick Liquidity Detection:** This script is ideal for traders who need a quick way to detect potential liquidity grabs without the complexity of managing dynamic parameters or volume confirmation.
- **Simplified Trading Strategies:** If your trading strategy doesn’t rely heavily on volume or multi-timeframe liquidity grab adjustments, this script can work well for basic setups where price action is the primary indicator.
- **Faster Execution:** Since this version doesn’t require dynamic adjustments or volume confirmation, it executes faster, making it suitable for traders who need lightweight tools to stay on top of fast-moving markets.
### Conclusion:
The basic version of the **Fx_Shepherd_Liquidity** script offers a simplified tool for detecting potential liquidity grabs. Its straightforward design, adjustable Maru rate, and visual bar color changes make it easy to integrate into any trading strategy focused on price action. While it lacks the advanced features of the premium version, it serves as a solid, lightweight solution for traders who prefer simplicity over complexity.
Bitcoin Power Law Global Liqudity Model by G. SantostasiIn recent studies, we've observed a notable correlation between Bitcoin's price and global liquidity metrics. This relationship reveals significant insights into Bitcoin's price movements and offers a new perspective on using macroeconomic indicators to understand and predict Bitcoin's market trends.
Our analysis shows that Bitcoin's price exhibits periodic bubbles, which seem closely associated with oscillations in global liquidity. Notably, the overall price path of Bitcoin appears to be a complex function of global liquidity. This relationship is not as simple as the Bitcoin Power Law in time that can be described with a simple equation, Price ∼ time⁶.
Instead, we have developed a polynomial model to describe this complex relationship between liquidity and Bitcoin price. With a 4-degree polynomial (with 5 different parameters needed to fit the data), we can get a decent fit to the data.
The fit is obtained using 500 data points by polynomial regression. The vector coefficients of the polynomial are obtained such that the sum of squared error between the observations and theoretical polynomial model is minimized.
This model needs to be taken with a grain of salt given the warning by famous mathematician Von Neumann: "With four parameters I can fit an elephant, and with five I can make him wiggle his trunk." discussing a model created by Italian Physicist Fermi. By this he meant that the Fermi simulations relied on too many input parameters, presupposing an overfitting phenomenon.
We can still gain some insights into the relationship between Global Liquidity and the price evolution of Bitcoin using this complex model.
When the price of Bitcoin is plotted against our global liquidity index, we observe a polynomial relationship. This model allows us to see when Bitcoin's price deviates significantly from the predicted value based on global liquidity:
Above the Model: When Bitcoin's price is above the polynomial fit, it indicates a potential lack of sufficient liquidity to support the current price level, suggesting a likely correction.
Below the Model: Conversely, when the price is below the fit, it implies that liquidity might be higher than what is reflected in the price, indicating potential upward movement.
Our global liquidity index comprises several key macroeconomic metrics from major financial institutions worldwide. Here are some of the major components:
RRP (Reverse Repurchase Agreements): This metric indicates the level of liquidity in the financial system through temporary sales of securities with an agreement to repurchase them.
FED (Federal Reserve System): Represents the balance sheet of the US central bank, reflecting its monetary policy actions.
TGA (Treasury General Account): Reflects the US Treasury’s cash balance, impacting the liquidity in the banking system.
PBC (People's Bank of China): Shows the monetary policy actions and liquidity management by China’s central bank.
ECB (European Central Bank): Represents the balance sheet and liquidity management actions of the Eurozone's central bank.
BOJ (Bank of Japan): Reflects Japan's central bank's monetary policy and liquidity measures.
Other Central Banks: Includes metrics from various other central banks like the Bank of England, Bank of Canada, Reserve Bank of Australia, etc.
M2 Money Supply: This includes money supply metrics from various countries like the USA, Europe, China, Japan, and other significant economies.
These components collectively provide a comprehensive view of global liquidity, which is crucial for understanding its impact on Bitcoin's price.
Using the polynomial model and the author's Bitcoin power law model we can create 2 oscillators, one that shows deviations from the trend (normalized to the price to make the peaks more uniform) and the other showing deviations of the polynomial liquidity model from the power law trend.
The oscillators show the difference between the price and the power law model relative to the price, Orange Line. The Blue Line is instead the difference between the Global Liquidity Model of the price and the power law model relative to the model itself. The two oscillators can be overlayed to show their differences and similarities.
Analysis: In addition to similar observations from the discussion above we can see that most Bitcoin bottoms are not directly associated with bottoms in the liquidity model indicating a different mechanism at play that determines Bitcoin bottoms (probably due to miners' capitulation).
Using the new force_overlay function we plot the polynomial liquidity model directly over the Bitcoin price chart while we display the 2 oscillators in a separate panel.

The confirmation system affects all features: liquidity sweeps, order blocks, FVGs, and OTE zones.
LIQUIDITY SWEEP DETECTION:
Three-Tier System:
1. Current Timeframe Liquidity:
- Detects swing highs/lows on chart timeframe
- Configurable lookback and confirmation periods
- Session-tagged for context (Asian/London/NY)
2. HTF (Higher Timeframe) Key Liquidity:
- Default: 4H timeframe (configurable to Daily/Weekly)
- Strength-based filtering using ATR multipliers
- Distance-based clustering prevention
- Only strongest levels displayed (top 1-10)
- Labels show timeframe and strength rating
3. LTF (Lower Timeframe) Key Liquidity:
- Default: 1H timeframe (configurable)
- Precision entry/exit levels
- Strength-based ranking
- Distance filtering to avoid clutter
Sweep Detection Methods:

- Full Retrace: Break and close back inside (stop hunt detection)
Buffer System:
- Configurable ATR-based buffer for sweep confirmation
- Prevents false positives from minor price fluctuations
ORDER BLOCKS (Enhanced):
Detection Methodology:
- Identifies the last opposing candle before significant structure break
- Bullish OB: Last red candle before bullish break
- Bearish OB: Last green candle before bearish break
Enhanced Filters:
1. Size Filter:
- Minimum order block size (ATR-based)
- Ensures significant zones only
2. Volume Filter:
- Requires above-average volume (configurable multiplier)
- Confirms institutional participation
3. Imbalance Filter:
- Requires strong directional move after OB formation
- Validates true institutional activity
Violation Detection:
- Wick-based: Any wick through the zone
- Close-based: Close price through the zone
- Automatic removal of broken order blocks
FAIR VALUE GAPS (FVG):
Bullish FVG: Gap between candle 3 low and candle 1 high (three-bar pattern)
Bearish FVG: Gap between candle 3 high and candle 1 low
Requirements:
- Minimum gap size (ATR-based)
- Clear price imbalance
- No overlap between the three candles
Fill Detection:
- Configurable fill threshold (default 50%)
- Tracks partial and complete fills
- Removes filled gaps to keep chart clean
INVERSE FAIR VALUE GAPS (iFVG):
What are iFVGs:
- Counter-trend FVGs that form after original FVG is filled
- Indicate potential reversal or continuation failure
- Form within specific timeframe after original FVG
Detection Rules:
- Must occur after a FVG is filled
- Must form within 20 bars of original FVG
- Minimum size requirement (ATR-based)
- Opposite direction to original FVG
Visual Distinction:
- Dashed border boxes
- Different color scheme from regular FVGs
- Combined labels when FVG and iFVG overlap
OPTIMAL TRADE ENTRY (OTE) ZONES:
Based on Fibonacci retracement principles used by institutional traders:
Concept:
After a structure break (swing high/low violation), price often retraces to specific Fibonacci levels before continuing. The OTE zone (0.618 to 0.786) represents the optimal entry area.
Bullish OTE Formation:
1. Swing low is formed
2. Structure breaks above previous swing high (bullish structure break)
3. Price retraces into 0.618-0.786 Fibonacci zone
4. Entry signal when price enters and holds in OTE zone
Bearish OTE Formation:
1. Swing high is formed
2. Structure breaks below previous swing low (bearish structure break)
3. Price retraces into 0.618-0.786 Fibonacci zone
4. Entry signal when price enters and holds in OTE zone

This comprehensive indicator provides a deep dive into the market breadth of the EGX30 index, allowing traders and analysts to monitor underlying buying and selling pressure across its constituents. It offers five distinct metrics for a holistic view of market health, ranging from traditional Advance/Decline analysis to advanced McClellan Oscillators and TRIN (Arms Index) readings.
Key Features and Metrics
The indicator is selectable via the 'Select Metric' input and can display the following on your chart:
1. Advance/Decline Line: A cumulative measure of the difference between the number of advancing stocks and declining stocks (Advancing Stocks−Declining Stocks). It helps confirm the market's trend strength.
2. McClellan Oscillator: Calculated using the Advance/Decline Ratio (AD Ratio) smoothed by two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). It acts as a momentum measure of the A/D Line, highlighting potential overbought/oversold conditions and trend turns.
Climax Levels: Horizontal lines are plotted at +0.1 (Buy Climax) and −0.1 (Sell Climax).
3. Arms Index (TRIN): A volume-based indicator that measures the ratio of the Advance/Decline Ratio to the Advancing Volume/Declining Volume Ratio. A value above 1.0 is generally bearish (more volume in declining stocks), while a value below 1.0 is bullish.
Bands: Upper and Lower deviation bands are calculated and plotted for advanced analysis of extremes.
4. Total Volume: The raw, aggregated volume of all EGX30 constituent stocks.
5. Total Liquidity (Total Traded Value): The sum of (Price × Volume) for all EGX30 constituent stocks, giving a more accurate representation of capital flow.
⚙️ Customizable & Smart Configuration
The indicator is designed for maximum flexibility and accuracy across different chart timeframes:
Automatic Timeframe Configuration: When enabled (default), the script automatically selects optimized lookback periods for the Moving Average (MA), McClellan EMAs, and TRIN Lookback based on whether the chart is Intraday, Daily, Weekly, or other.
Manual Overrides: Disable the auto-configuration to manually set the MA Length, McClellan Fast/Slow EMAs, and TRIN Lookback/StdDev Multiplier for custom analysis.

CandelaCharts - Unicorn Model📝 Overview
The Unicorn Model is an advanced indicator that pinpoints high-probability reversal setups based on the ICT Unicorn formation. It uses a zigzag-based structure to detect engineered liquidity grabs followed by sharp displacements in the opposite direction—ideal for fade entries or the start of new trends.
The indicator is enhanced with macro time filters, allowing it to align model detections with key trading sessions and institutional flow windows.
The ICT Unicorn Model is a precision-driven intraday strategy rooted in smart money concepts. It combines time-of-day sensitivity, engineered liquidity runs, and institutional order flow to uncover high-quality trading opportunities.
📦 Features
Liquidity Levels: Projects forward-looking liquidity zones after a Unicorn model is confirmed, highlighting potential price targets. These zones act as magnet areas where price is likely to be drawn, helping traders manage exits, partials, and re-entries with greater precision.
Unicorn: The Unicorn formation utilizes a smart money framework and a dynamic zigzag detection method to identify engineered liquidity grabs—sharp sweeps of previous highs or lows—followed by impulsive reversals.
Macros: These time-based intervals represent key moments when institutional algorithms are most active, seeking liquidity, rebalancing, or delivering price to key levels like fair value gaps and liquidity pools.
Custom TF Pairing: Choose your preferred combination of entry timeframe and context timeframe. For example, trade 5m setups within a 1h HTF bias, allowing precise alignment of microstructure with broader directional intent.
HTF & LTF PD Arrays: Displays high- and low-timeframe PD Arrays (e.g., Fair Value Gaps, Inversion Fair Value Gaps) that act as zones of interest or rejection, enhancing confluence and risk control.
History: Backtest previous Unicorn setups directly on the chart. Toggle historical models to analyze past behavior, improve your confidence, and fine-tune your trade execution across varying market regimes.
Killzone Filter: Restrict signal generation to specific trading sessions or killzones (e.g., London Open, New York AM). This minimizes false positives in low-volume or overlapping ranges.
Standard Deviation: Dynamically calculates and plots four deviation bands from the model confirmation point. These levels offer insight into stretch targets, volatility bands, and potential mean-reversion zones.

Key levels + Session Range (Sweep-Aware Levels)Overview
This indicator provides a single, clean view of two core intraday contexts that day traders rely on:
Daily Liquidity Levels: prior day high/low (PDH/PDL), prior day open/close, weekly highs/lows, and other commonly referenced reference points.
Session Ranges: clearly plotted high/low for each active session (e.g., Asia, London, New York), tracked live as the session evolves.
By unifying these two information layers, traders can immediately see when price is sweeping a session’s extremes into known daily liquidity—a frequent precursor to reversals or continuation moves. This saves chart space, reduces cognitive overload, and turns two separate checks into one coherent read.
What it does
Plots daily liquidity references: previous day high/low, previous day open/close, and optional higher-timeframe levels (open, high, mid and low 4H ,Day, Week, month, year and quarterly).
Tracks session high/low live: as each session unfolds, the indicator updates that session’s running High and Low, then locks them at session end.
Maps interaction between the two layers: you can instantly spot session sweeps that tag PDH/PDL (or weekly extremes), highlight potential liquidity grabs, and frame risk with objective boundaries.
Keeps the chart clean: just essential lines/zones and concise labels—no extra clutter.
Why it’s useful & original
Single-purpose integration: Rather than a generic mashup, this is a purpose-built fusion where session dynamics are read in the context of daily liquidity. That relationship is the core edge—seeing when a session sweep aligns with known liquidity pools.
Workflow efficiency: One overlay replaces two indicators, simplifying visibility and reducing conflicting visuals.
Decision clarity: The combination highlights setups many intraday traders already watch manually (e.g., NY session high sweep into PDH), but makes them obvious in real time.
How it works (plain-English logic)
Daily Liquidity Engine
At the start of each day, the indicator records PDH, PDL, prior open/close and (optionally) prior week high/low.
These levels are plotted and extended across the session as static references.
Session Range Tracker
For each defined session (e.g., Asia/London/New York), the script initializes session High/Low at session open.
Throughout the session, it updates those extremes in real time and locks them on session close.
Interaction Layer
When price reaches or sweeps a session High/Low near a daily level (e.g., within your chosen tolerance), the confluence becomes visually obvious.
Traders can then decide whether it’s a likely liquidity grab (fade/reversal idea) or a continuation through the pool (breakout idea), per their plan.
How to use it
Identify session context: Start by noting where price is trading relative to the current session’s High/Low.
Locate nearby daily liquidity: Check distance to PDH/PDL, prior open/close, and weekly extremes.
Look for confluence:
Sweep-and-fade idea: Session High swept into PDH (or Session Low into PDL) with failure to hold → potential reversal context.
Break-and-go idea: Strong close through PDH/PDL following a session extreme break → potential continuation context.
Risk framing: Session High/Low and PDH/PDL provide objective anchors for stops and targets. Adapt to your own risk model (e.g., use ATR or structure-based stops).
Keep it clean: Use this as your primary overlay to avoid clutter; add confirmations (volume, structure) only if they genuinely help your process.
Settings (typical options)
Sessions: Choose which sessions to display (e.g., Asia/London/NY) and their time zones/hours.
Daily Levels: Toggle PDH/PDL, prior open/close, prior week High/Low, and other references you rely on.
Visuals: Colors, line styles, label visibility, and optional band shading for quick recognition.
Confluence Tolerance (optional): Define how near a session extreme must be to a daily level to consider it a “liquidity touch/sweep” in your visuals.
Alerts (optional): First touch/sweep of session High/Low, break/close beyond PDH/PDL, or custom distance conditions.
Chart & Publishing Notes (for reviewers and users)
Clean chart by design: Only essential lines/labels for session extremes and daily references.
Plain-English description: Explains what, why, and how so non-coders can use it confidently.
Original integration: The value here is the purposeful interaction—seeing session sweeps in context of daily liquidity in one place—rather than a cosmetic mashup.
Limitations & good practice
This tool is contextual, not predictive. It highlights structure and liquidity landmarks; trade decisions are yours.
Session definitions vary by asset/exchange; ensure your session times match your market.
Past behavior at these levels does not guarantee future outcomes; always use proper risk management.

XAUMO MegaBar VSA by Mohamed Mahmoud XAUMO MegaBar VSA — Smart Money Breakout & Reversal Engine for XAUUSD
(Educational Use Only)
1) WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES
XAUMO MegaBar VSA is an institutional-style smart money engine for XAUUSD designed to show you what professional money is doing, not just where price is moving.
It combines:
- MegaBar detection on 1H and 15m
- VSA (Volume Spread Analysis) events
- VPOC / WVPOC and volume clusters
- Liquidity sweeps, CHoCH, order blocks, FVGs
- Full Fibonacci leg mapping (retracements + extensions)
- Pre-built execution ladders (Entry, SL, TP1–TP4, Reverse Fib trades)
All in one dashboard with:
- Color-coded candles
- Clean, ATR-offset labels
- Optional tables and debug panels
So traders can quickly decide:
“Is this move driven by smart money, or is it just noise?”
2) CORE MODULES & FEATURES
A) SESSION + ACCUMULATION / DISTRIBUTION CONTEXT
- Session filter: London, New York, Overlap, or custom.
- Accumulation / distribution zones shaded on chart with adjustable colors/opacity.
- Quick legend so you always know if the market is in “smart money accumulation” or “distribution”.
HOW TRADERS USE IT:
Focus only on your trading session and instantly see if volume is building (accumulation), unloading (distribution), or flat. This helps you avoid trading in dead liquidity.
--------------------------------------------------
B) MEGABAR ENGINE + FIB MAP
- Automatically detects “MegaBars” (institutional candles) on 15m and 1H.
- Uses body size, range, and volume to pick only meaningful bars.
- Builds a full Fibonacci map from each active MegaBar:
• Retracements: 0, 13, 23.6, 38.2, 50, 61.8, 78.6, 86.2, 100, and -33.
• Extensions: 125% up to 600%+ (configurable ladder).
- Per-level style controls:
• Color, width, line style (solid/dotted/dashed).
• Optional price labels with ATR-based offsets.
- Main Fib legend that explains shallow / normal / deep reload zones.
HOW TRADERS USE IT:
You stop guessing where to buy or sell. You trade around the institutional leg:
- Buy dips into defined reload zones after bullish MegaBars.
- Sell rallies into extension zones after bearish MegaBars.
- Use clean, pre-mapped structure for both scalps and swings.
--------------------------------------------------
C) VSA ENGINE + CANDLE LABELING
- Detects a full set of VSA events such as:
• No Demand / No Supply
• Stopping Volume
• Absorption
• Springs / Upthrusts
• Buying Climax / Selling Climax
• Bullish / Bearish EVR
• Tests and confirmed VSA signals at S/R
- Enhances with:
• Body vs total range analysis
• Wick dominance for exhaustion vs aggression
• Momentum and volume confirmation filters
HOW TRADERS USE IT:
Each label becomes a “comment” from smart money on the chart:
- “No Demand” near resistance + weak RVOL = skip long entries.
- “Stopping Volume” + spring at Fib reload zone + VPOC cluster = potential high-quality long.
- Combine VSA with the MegaBar Fib map and volume profile for structured decisions.
--------------------------------------------------
D) SUPERSONIC BREAKOUT ENGINE
- Calculates a breakout strength score using:
• RVOL and volume expansion
• Spread expansion vs recent bars
• Body quality (body vs range)
• Bar progress (how much of the candle’s time has elapsed)
- Differentiates:
• Potential vs confirmed breakouts
• Strong, volume-backed moves vs weak spikes
- Optional debug label explaining:
• Momentum score
• Volume ratio and RVOL
• Spread behaviour
• Body quality
• Bar elapsed %
HOW TRADERS USE IT:
You avoid chasing every big candle.
You only act when:
- Breakout strength is high,
- Volume confirms the move,
- Structure (Fib / VPOC / CHoCH) is aligned.
--------------------------------------------------
E) VPOC / WVPOC CLUSTERS & DYNAMIC ZONES
- Tracks real-time VPOC and WVPOC.
- Identifies VPOC/WVPOC clusters as powerful S/R zones.
- Confirms bullish or bearish breaks when price clears these levels with volume.
- Provides dynamic SL and TP logic:
• SL near/behind VPOC with ATR buffer.
• TP ladders aligned with volume structure.
HOW TRADERS USE IT:
You anchor your risk to where the most volume traded, not random price points:
- Use VPOC as a rational stop placement.
- Treat VPOC/WVPOC clusters as “coiled springs” – zones where large moves often start.
--------------------------------------------------
F) SMART MONEY ENTRY ENGINE (1H + 15M MEGABARS)
- Uses MTF `request.security` logic to bring 1H MegaBars into lower timeframes.
- Identifies:
• 1H + 15m confluence entries (A-grade setups).
• Single-TF entries (B-grade setups).
- Pre-calculates for each scenario:
• Entry level (Fib-based within the MegaBar range).
• Stop loss (beyond range or leg-based).
• TP1–TP4 along Fib extensions / structure.
- Labels show:
• “Entry = …”
• “SL = …”
• “TP1 = … / TP2 = … / TP3 = … / TP4 = …”
with adjustable font size and ATR-based offsets.
- Optional “show only latest” mode to keep your chart clean.
- Alert-ready so you can receive notifications when conditions are met.
HOW TRADERS USE IT:
You get a fully defined execution ladder:
- The engine tells you where a logical entry is,
- Where a logical SL should be,
- And how to scale out with multiple targets.
You can use:
- Confluence setups for main trades,
- Single-TF setups for more frequent but lower conviction trades.
--------------------------------------------------
G) REVERSE FIB TRADING MODULE
- Triggers after extended moves when key TPs are hit.
- Looks for:
• Rejection candles at or beyond major extensions.
• Exhaustion + VSA confirmation.
- Builds a reverse (counter-trend) Fib plan:
• Counter-trend entry from extension extremes.
• TP ladder based on 0.618, 0.786, 1.236, 1.382, 1.5, 1.618, 2.0, etc.
• SL and TSL based on ATR and Fib distance.
- ATR timeframe adapts to chart timeframe.
HOW TRADERS USE IT:
You can fade overextended moves once structure and P/A agree:
- Trend traders can use it to tighten or exit.
- Counter-trend traders can structure “fade” setups with defined risk.
--------------------------------------------------
H) LIQUIDITY SWEEPS, CHoCH, ORDER BLOCKS, FVGs
- Detects sweeps above highs and below lows (liquidity grabs).
- Marks CHoCH (Change of Character) when structure flips with volume.
- Basic smart money order block detection (bullish / bearish).
- FVGs (Fair Value Gaps) shaded on chart, removed when filled.
HOW TRADERS USE IT:
Combine sweeps + CHoCH + MegaBar + VSA + VPOC:
- Join clean, volume-backed continuations.
- Fade obvious stop hunts when they reject into strong zones.
--------------------------------------------------
I) VSA + BREAKOUT DASHBOARD TABLE (OPTIONAL)
- Compact table with:
• VSA context
• Breakout score
• RVOL / volume status
• Spread and candle quality
• ATR regime
• Close position within the bar
• VPOC and elapsed bar percentage
HOW TRADERS USE IT:
Before pressing the button, glance at the table:
- Is volatility supportive?
- Is volume confirming?
- Is this a clean breakout or a tired move?
This pushes you toward rule-based execution and away from impulse.
--------------------------------------------------
3) TYPICAL TRADING WORKFLOW WITH XAUMO MEGABAR VSA
A) Pick timeframe and session
- Use 15m or 1H on XAUUSD.
- Align the indicator’s session inputs with your actual trading hours.
B) Read context first
- Check accumulation / distribution zones.
- Look at VSA events and the breakout engine.
- Note where VPOC / WVPOC are relative to price.
C) Find the active MegaBar and its Fib structure
- Identify the most recent bull/bear MegaBar.
- See if price is:
• Pulling back into reload zones,
• Breaking out of them,
• Or extending into high-risk zones.
D) Wait for smart money confirmation
- Look for:
• Confluence setups (1H + 15m MegaBars),
• Strong breakout score,
• Valid VSA signals,
• Helpful structure: CHoCH, FVG, sweeps.
E) Execute using the printed ladders
- Use the on-chart Entry / SL / TP labels as your execution framework.
- Adjust lot size and risk % according to your own plan.
F) Manage and exit
- Use ATR / VPOC logic to trail or lock profits.
- Rotate to reverse Fib setups if extensions look exhausted.
4) WHO THIS INDICATOR IS FOR
- Gold traders (XAUUSD CFD or spot) on 15m and 1H.
- Traders who prefer institutional structure (volume, VPOC, SMC, Fib) over simple indicators.
- Traders who want pre-structured entries, SL, and TP ladders without losing flexibility.

XAUMO MegaBar VSA — محرّك البريك آوت و الريفرسال بتاع السمارت ماني للدهب
( استخدام تعليمي بس)
1) المؤشّر ده بيعمل إيه؟
XAUMO MegaBar VSA معمول مخصوص للـ XAUUSD عشان يورّيك "الفلوس الكبيرة" بتتحرك إزاي،
مش بس السِعر رايح فين.
بيجمع في حتّة واحدة:
- رصد MegaBar على الساعة والربع ساعة
- VSA (Volume Spread Analysis) – سلوك الفوليوم جوّه الشمعة
- VPOC / WVPOC و تجمّعات الفوليوم المهمّة
- سويپس لليكويديتي + CHoCH + Order Blocks + FVGs
- خريطة فيبوناتشي كاملة (Retrace + Extensions)
- سلالم تنفيذ جاهزة (Entry, SL, TP1–TP4 + صفقات Reverse Fib)
وكل ده:
- بألوان واضحة على الشموع
- لِيبلات متظبّطة بـ ATR Offset
- Tables و Panels اختيارية
عشان المتداول يسأل نفسه:
"الحركة دي بتاعة سمارت ماني؟ ولا مجرد دوشة ملوش لازمة؟"
2) أهم الموديولات اللي جوّه المؤشّر
A) الكونتكست بتاع السيشن + تجميع/توزيع
- فلتر جلسات: لندن – نيو يورك – overlap – أو وقت تحطّه انت.
- مناطق Accumulation / Distribution متظلّلة بألوان أنت بتختارها.
- لچند بسيط يوضّح لك السوق دلوقتي: تجميع؟ توزيع؟ ولا نايم.
المتداول يستخدمه إزاي؟
تركّز بس في الجلسة اللي انت شغّال فيها، وتشوف فورًا:
فيه بناء مراكز؟ فيه تصريف؟ ولا مفيش فوليوم أصلاً؟
ده يقلّل دخولك في أوقات السوق فيها “ميت”.
--------------------------------------------
B) محرّك الـ MegaBar + خريطة الفيبوناتشي
- المؤشّر يلقط لوحده الـ MegaBars (شموع مؤسّسات) على 15m و 1h.
- بيعتمد على: حجم الجسم، مدى الشمعة، الفوليوم.
- يرسم خريطة فيبوناتشي كاملة من الرجل الأساسية:
• Retrace: 0, 13, 23.6, 38.2, 50, 61.8, 78.6, 86.2, 100, -33
• Extensions: من 125% لحد 600%+ (سلم قابل للتعديل)
- لكل مستوى:
• لون / سماكة / ستايل (سوليد – دوتيد – داشد)
• ليبل سِعر مع Offset بـ ATR
- لچند يشرح لك Reload Zones: ضحلة / عادية / عميقة.
المتداول يستخدمه إزاي؟
بدل ما “تخمّن” فين تشتري وتبيع:
- تشتري الدِپ جوّه مناطق Reload بعد MegaBar صاعد.
- تبيع الريبوند جوّه Extensions بعد MegaBar هابط.
- عندك هيكل واضح للسوينج والسكالب من غير فوضى.
--------------------------------------------
C) VSA + لِيبلات على الشموع
- يكتشف أحداث VSA زي:
• No Demand / No Supply
• Stopping Volume
• Absorption
• Spring / Upthrust
• Buying / Selling Climax
• EVR (شموع مجنونة فوليومًا)
• Tests و Confirmed Signals عند الدعوم/المقاومات
- مع تحسينات:
• تحليل Body vs Range
• مين اللي غالب؟ جسم الشمعة ولا الذيول؟
• فلتر Momentum + Volume
المتداول يستخدمه إزاي؟
كل ليبل على الشمعة = كومنت من السمارت ماني:
- No Demand عند مقاومة + RVOL ضعيف → بلاش تشتري.
- Stopping Volume + Spring جوّه Reload Zone + VPOC → فرصة قوية للشراء.
- توصل بين VSA + Fib + VPOC فتفهم “مين بيكسب المعركة”.
--------------------------------------------
D) محرّك البريك آوت Supersonic
- بيحسب Score للقوة بتاعة البريك آوت من:
• RVOL + Volume Expansion
• توسّع السبريد مقارنة بالشموع السابقة
• جودة جسم الشمعة (جسم ولا ذيل)
• نسبة الوقت اللي عدّى من الشمعة الحالية
- يفرّق بين:
• بريك آوت محتمل vs مؤكد
• حركة قوية مدعومة بفوليوم vs “شمعة شو”
- يقدر يطلع ليبل Debug يشرح:
• Momentum Score
• Volume Ratio / RVOL
• Spread Behaviour
• Body Quality
• % الوقت اللي فات من عمر الشمعة
المتداول يستخدمه إزاي؟
ماتجريش ورا كل شمعة كبيرة:
- استنَى لما يكون الـ Score عالي،
- والفوليوم مصدّق الحركة،
- والهيكل (Fib / VPOC / CHoCH) موافق.
ساعتها بس البريك آوت يستاهل المخاطرة.
--------------------------------------------
E) VPOC / WVPOC + مناطق الفوليوم
- يرقب VPOC و WVPOC في الوقت الحقيقي.
- يحدّد Clusters مهمة تتحوّل لـ Support / Resistance محترم.
- يراقب كسر المناطق دي بفوليوم واضح (بداية موجة جديدة).
- SL و TP ديناميك:
• SL حوالين VPOC مع Buffer من ATR.
• TP متوزع على مستويات فيبوناتشي و زونات فوليوم.
المتداول يستخدمه إزاي؟
بتربط مخاطرتك بأين اشتغل الفوليوم التقيل:
- VPOC = منطق منطقي للستوب.
- Clusters = زون ضغط ينفع يبدأ منها ترند قوي.
--------------------------------------------
F) محرّك الدخول بتاع السمارت ماني (1h + 15m MegaBars)
- يجيب MegaBars بتاعة الساعة جوّه فريمات أقل بالـ `request.security`.
- يميّز:
• Confluence بين MegaBar الساعة + MegaBar الربع ساعة (صفقة A-Grade).
• MegaBar على فريم واحد بس (B-Grade).
- يجهّز تلقائيًا:
• Entry
• SL
• TP1–TP4 على Extensions و مستويات هيكلية.
- اللّيبلات تكتب:
• Entry = …
• SL = …
• TP1 = … / TP2 = … / TP3 = … / TP4 = …
مع تحكّم في حجم الخط و ATR Offset.
- فيه اختيار “أظهر آخر سيناريو بس” عشان الشارت يفضل نضيف.
- جاهز للـ Alerts لما الشروط تكمّل.
المتداول يستخدمه إزاي؟
يبقى عندك Execution Ladder كامل:
- فين تدخل،
- فين تحط الستوب،
- إزاي تقسم الخروج على أكتر من هدف.
--------------------------------------------
G) موديل الـ Reverse Fib (صفقات عكس الاتجاه)
- بيشتغل بعد ما السعر يبالغ في الحركة و يوصل Extensions معيّنة.
- يدور على:
• شموع رفض عند/بعد Extensions.
• Exhaustion + إشارة VSA.
- يرسم خطة عكسية:
• Entry عكسي من Extension Extreme.
• TP سلم مبني على 0.618, 0.786, 1.236, 1.382, 1.5, 1.618, 2.0, … إلخ
• SL و TSL مبنيين على ATR و مسافة الفيبوناتشي.
المتداول يستخدمه إزاي؟
لو انت ترند تريدر:
- تستخدمه عشان تقفل/تخفف عند تمدّد مبالغ فيه.
لو انت Counter-Trend:
- يديك سيناريو “فِيد” منطقي بمخاطرة محسوبة.
--------------------------------------------
H) سويپس لليكويديتي + CHoCH + Order Blocks + FVGs
- يوسم مناطق ضرب الستوبات فوق الهاي وتحت اللو (Liquidity Grabs).
- يحدد CHoCH لما الاتجاه يغيّر شخصيته مع فوليوم.
- يرصد Order Blocks أساسية (Bullish / Bearish).
- يظلّل الـ FVGs و يشيلها لما تتعبّى.
المتداول يستخدمه إزاي؟
تجمع بين:
MegaBar + VSA + Fib + VPOC + Liquidity:
- يا إمّا تلحق موجة نظيفة،
- يا إمّا تفِيد Stop Hunt غبي اتكشف على الشارت.
--------------------------------------------
I) داشبورد VSA + Breakout (Table اختياري)
- Table صغيرة فيها:
• حالة VSA
• قوة البريك آوت
• RVOL / Volume
• Spread & Candle Quality
• حالة ATR
• مكان الإغلاق جوّه الشمعة
• وضع VPOC
• نسبة الوقت اللي عدّى من الشمعة
المتداول يستخدمه إزاي؟
قبل ما تدوس Buy / Sell:
- تبص على التابل ثانيتين:
الدنيا شغّالة ولا لأ؟
فيه فوليوم؟ فيه ترند؟ ولا حركة ميتة؟
ده يقلل قرارات “من غير plan”.
3) سيناريو شغل متداول على XAUMO MegaBar VSA
1) اختار الفريم + الجلسة
- 15m أو 1h على XAUUSD.
- ظبّط سيشن لندن/نيويورك زي وقت شغلك الحقيقي.
2) اقرأ الكونتكست
- السوق بيبنِي مراكز؟ بيصفّي؟ ولا نايم؟
- إيه إشارات الـ VSA و Score البريك آوت؟
- فين VPOC / WVPOC من السعر؟
3) دور على MegaBar النشط و خريطة الفيبوناتشي بتاعته
- السعر:
• بيرجّع جوّه Reload Zone؟
• بيكسر البرنچ؟
• ولا داخل على Overextension؟
4) استنَى تأكيد السمارت ماني
- Confluence بين MegaBar الساعة والربع ساعة.
- Breakout Score محترم.
- VSA منطقي (No Demand, Stopping Volume, Spring, …).
- Structure: CHoCH / FVG / Liquidity Sweep في اتجاه الصفقة.
5) نفّذ باستخدام السلم المطبوع على الشارت
- استخدم Entry / SL / TP1–TP4 كـ هيكل أساسي.
- عدّل اللوت / الريسك حسب خطتك انت.
6) الإدارة والخروج
- استعمل ATR + VPOC في Trailing/Lock.
- لما Extensions تبان مبالغ فيها → ركّز على Reverse Fib.
4) المؤشّر ده مناسب لمين؟
- اللي بيتاجر دهب XAUUSD (CFD أو Spot) على 15m و 1h.
- اللي بيحب شغل مؤسّسات: Volume, VPOC, SMC, Fib مش مؤشرات بسيطة.
- اللي عايز Execution Plan جاهز (Entry/SL/TP) بس لسه عنده حريّة تعديل.
- اللي عايز يتعلّم VSA و Smart Money Concepts بشكل تطبيقي على شارت واحد.
5) إخلاء مسؤولية كامل (مهم تقراه)
- المؤشّر ده وكل الكلام اللي حواليه للتعليم بس.
- مش:
• نصيحة استثمارية،
• ولا توصية شراء/بيع،
• ولا خدمة إدارة محافظ،
• ولا سيجنال سيرڤس.
- التداول في الأسواق (خصوصًا المشتقات، الـ CFD، الفيوتشر) فيه مخاطرة عالية جدًا،
وممكن تخسر جزء كبير أو كل رأس مالك.
- أي أداء سابق، باك تست، أو مثال افتراضي → مش ضمان لنتيجة مستقبلية.
- أي نسبة احتمالات، Scores، أو “Quality” بيطلعها المؤشّر:
• دي حسابات كود، مش ضمان ربح،
• مش وعد ولا تعهّد بأي نتيجة.
- انت المسؤول 100% عن:
• حجم العقود اللي بتدخلها،
• الرافعة اللي بتستخدمها،
• أماكن الدخول والخروج،
• وإدارة المخاطرة بتاعتك،
• والتزامك بالقوانين والضرائب في بلدك.
- قبل ما تستخدم المؤشّر على حساب حقيقي:
• جرّب كويس على باك تست و فورورد تست،
• اشتغل فترة على Demo،
• لو محتاج نصيحة مالية شخصية → ارجع لمستشار مالي مرخَّص.
باختصار:
XAUMO MegaBar VSA ده أداة تعليمية وتحليلية قوية تساعدك تفهم حركة الذهب،
مش زرار “اطبع فلوس”.
انت صاحب القرار، وانت صاحب المسؤولية، وانت اللي بتتحمّل أي ربح أو خسارة.
SOFR Spread (proxy: FEDFUNDS - US03MY)📊 SOFR Spread (Proxy: FEDFUNDS - US03MY) – Monitoring USD Money Market Liquidity
In 2008, the spread exhibits a sharp vertical spike, signaling a severe liquidity dislocation: investors rushed into short-term U.S. Treasuries, pushing their yields down dramatically, while the FEDFUNDS rate remained relatively high.
This behavior indicates extreme systemic stress in the interbank lending market, preceding massive Federal Reserve interventions such as rate cuts, emergency liquidity operations, and the launch of quantitative easing (QE).
Description:
This indicator plots the spread between the Effective Federal Funds Rate (FEDFUNDS) and the 3-Month US Treasury Bill yield (US03MY), used here as a proxy for the SOFR spread.
It serves as a simple yet powerful tool to detect liquidity dislocations and stress signals in the US short-term funding markets.
Interpretation:
🔴 Spread > 0.20% → Possible liquidity stress: elevated repo rates, cash shortage, interbank distrust.
🟡 Spread ≈ 0% → Normal market conditions, balanced liquidity.
🟢 Spread < 0% → Excess liquidity: strong demand for T-Bills, “flight to safety”, or distortion due to expansionary monetary policy.
Ideal for:
Monitoring Fed policy impact
Anticipating market-wide liquidity squeezes
Correlation with DXY, SPX, VIX, MOVE Index, and risk sentiment
🧠 Note: As SOFR is not directly available on TradingView, FEDFUNDS is used as a reliable proxy, closely tracking the same trends in most macro conditions.
VWAP Flow ParmezanThe "Official Bank Flow VWAP" is a comprehensive trading suite designed for institutional Forex traders.
This indicator solves the problem of chart clutter by combining two critical components of liquidity: Price (Value) and Time (Sessions). It is specifically optimized for EUR/USD and GBP/USD on intraday timeframes (M5, M15), helping you identify high-probability setups where "Fair Value" meets "Volatility."
Key Features
1. Multi-Timeframe VWAP Hierarchy Unlike standard indicators, this tool visualizes the interaction between three distinct timeframes:
Daily VWAP (Dynamic Color): Your primary trend filter. Green when Bullish (Price > VWAP), Red when Bearish (Price < VWAP).
Weekly VWAP (Orange Dots): Represents the medium-term balance. Acts as a magnet for mean reversion mid-week.
Monthly VWAP (Purple Line): The institutional "line in the sand." Major support/resistance level.
2. Standard Deviation Bands (Market Balance) The indicator plots SD1 and SD2 bands around the Daily VWAP:
Inner Zone (SD1): Represents the "Fair Value" area.
Outer Bands (SD2): Represents overbought/oversold conditions. Useful for identifying mean reversion plays back to the center.
3. Official Exchange Sessions (Time) Forget confusing "killzones." This tool highlights the Official Open times for major exchanges, adjusted for Daylight Savings via New York time:
London Open (08:00 LDN): The start of European volume.
New York Open (08:00 NY): The injection of US liquidity.
London Close/Fix: The daily overlap close, often marking trend reversals.
Note: Sessions are visualized with non-intrusive black "shadow" backgrounds to keep your chart clean.
4. "Ghost" Levels (Previous VWAP) A unique feature that plots the closing VWAP level of the previous day. Institutional algorithms often target these "untested" levels as Take Profit targets or liquidity pools.
How to Use
Trend Following: If Price is above the Daily VWAP (Green) during the London Open, look for Long entries targeting the SD1/SD2 upper bands.
Mean Reversion: If Price hits the SD2 Band while far away from the Weekly VWAP, look for a reversal back to the mean.
Confluence: The strongest signals occur when price touches a key VWAP level (e.g., Weekly VWAP) specifically during the highlighted Session Start times.
Settings
Timezone: Defaults to America/New_York to automatically handle DST shifts for London/NY opens.
Visuals: Fully customizable colors and transparency. Default is set to a "Dark Mode" friendly professional palette.
Linear Trajectory & Volume StructureThe Linear Trajectory & Volume Structure indicator is a comprehensive trend-following system designed to identify market direction, volatility-adjusted channels, and high-probability entry points. Unlike standard Moving Averages, this tool utilizes Linear Regression logic to calculate the "best fit" trajectory of price, encased within volatility bands (ATR) to filter out market noise.
It integrates three core analytical components into a single interface:
Trend Engine: A Linear Regression Curve to determine the mean trajectory.
Volume Verification: Filters signals to ensure price movement is backed by market participation.
Market Structure: Identifies previous high-volume supply and demand zones for support and resistance analysis.
2. Core Components and Logic
The Trajectory Engine
The backbone of the system is a Linear Regression calculation. This statistical method fits a straight line through recent price data points to determine the current slope and direction.
The Baseline: Represents the "fair value" or mean trajectory of the asset.
The Cloud: Calculated using Average True Range (ATR). It expands during high volatility and contracts during consolidation.
Trend Definition:
Bullish: Price breaks above the Upper Deviation Band.
Bearish: Price breaks below the Lower Deviation Band.
Neutral/Chop: Price remains inside the cloud.
Smart Volume Filter
The indicator includes a toggleable volume filter. When enabled, the script calculates a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the volume.
High Volume: Current volume is greater than the Volume SMA.
Signal Validation: Reversal signals and structure zones are only generated if High Volume is present, reducing the likelihood of trading false breakouts on low liquidity.
Volume Structure (Smart Liquidity)
The script automatically plots Support (Demand) and Resistance (Supply) boxes based on pivot points.
Creation: A box is drawn only if a pivot high or low is formed with High Volume (if the volume filter is active).
Mitigation: The boxes extend to the right. If price breaks through a zone, the box turns gray to indicate the level has been breached.
3. Signal Guide
Trend Reversals (Buy/Sell Labels)
These are the primary signals indicating a potential change in the macro trend.
BUY Signal: Appears when price closes above the upper volatility band after previously being in a downtrend.
SELL Signal: Appears when price closes below the lower volatility band after previously being in an uptrend.
Pullbacks (Small Circles)
These are continuation signals, useful for adding to positions or entering an existing trend.
Long Pullback: The trend is Bullish, but price dips momentarily below the baseline (into the "discount" area) and closes back above it.
Short Pullback: The trend is Bearish, but price rallies momentarily above the baseline (into the "premium" area) and closes back below it.

Trajectory Length: The lookback period for the Linear Regression. This is the most critical setting for tuning sensitivity.
Channel Multiplier: Controls the width of the cloud.
1.0: Aggressive. Results in narrower bands and earlier signals, but more false positives.
1.5: Balanced (Default).
2.0+: Conservative. Creates a wide channel, filtering out significant noise but delaying entry signals.
Signal Logic
Show Trend Reversals: Toggles the main Buy/Sell labels.
Show Pullbacks: Toggles the re-entry circle signals.
Smart Volume Filter: If checked, signals require above-average volume. Unchecking this yields more signals but removes the volume confirmation requirement.
Volume Structure
Show Smart Liquidity: Toggles the Support/Resistance boxes.
Structure Lookback: Defines how many bars constitute a pivot. Higher numbers identify only major market structures.
Max Active Zones: Limits the number of boxes on the chart to prevent clutter.
5. Timeframe Optimization Guide
To maximize the effectiveness of the Linear Trajectory, you must adjust the Trajectory Length input based on your trading style and timeframe.
Scalping (1-Minute to 5-Minute Charts)
Recommended Length: 20 to 30
Multiplier: 1.2 to 1.5
Logic: Fast-moving markets require a shorter lookback to react quickly to micro-trend changes.
Day Trading (15-Minute to 1-Hour Charts)
Recommended Length: 55 (Default)
Multiplier: 1.5
Logic: A balance between responsiveness and noise filtering. The default setting of 55 is standard for identifying intraday sessions.
Swing Trading (4-Hour to Daily Charts)
Recommended Length: 89 to 100
Multiplier: 1.8 to 2.0
Logic: Swing trading requires filtering out intraday noise. A longer length ensures you stay in the trade during minor retracements.
6. Dashboard (HUD) Interpretation
The Head-Up Display (HUD) provides a summary of the current market state without needing to analyze the chart visually.
Bias: Displays the current trend direction (BULLISH or BEARISH).
Momentum:
ACCELERATING: Price is moving away from the baseline (strong trend).
WEAKENING: Price is compressing toward the baseline (potential consolidation or reversal).
Volume: Indicates if the current candle's volume is HIGH or LOW relative to the average.

Fair Value Gap [by Oberlunar]Fair Value Gap
This indicator is designed to identify and display Fair Value Gaps (FVG) on the price chart. Fair Value Gaps are areas between candles where the price lacks continuity, leaving a "gap" that can serve as a reference point for price retracements. These zones are often considered important by traders as they represent market imbalances that tend to be "mitigated" (i.e., filled or tested) over time.
Purpose of Publication
This indicator addresses a common gap in FVG indicators. Most existing FVG indicators do not visually distinguish between mitigated (touched) FVGs and those that remain intact. With this indicator:
Mitigated FVGs are clearly displayed with distinct colors, allowing traders to identify which zones have been partially or fully filled by the price.
Unmitigated FVGs remain prominent, representing potential points of interest.
Key Features
Identification of Fair Value Gaps:
A Bullish FVG (upward gap) forms when the high of the three previous candles (candle -3) is lower than the low of the next candle (candle -1).
A Bearish FVG (downward gap) forms when the low of the three previous candles (candle -3) is higher than the high of the next candle (candle -1).
Dynamic Coloring:
Unmitigated FVGs are highlighted with specific colors: green for Bullish and red for Bearish gaps.
When an FVG is "touched" by the price (i.e., mitigated), the color changes:
Yellow-green for mitigated Bullish FVGs.
Purple for mitigated Bearish FVGs.
Handling Mitigated FVGs:
When an FVG is touched by the price, it is visually updated with a different color.
An option can be enabled to "shrink" the mitigated zone, adjusting the box to reflect the remaining untested portion of the gap.
Customization:
Configure the maximum number of FVGs to display on the chart.
Set specific colors for mitigated and unmitigated FVGs.
Choose whether to automatically shrink mitigated zones.
How to Identify Support and Resistance Levels
Support:
Bullish FVGs represent potential support levels, as they indicate areas where the price might return to seek liquidity or fill the imbalance.
An FVG that is repeatedly touched without being fully filled becomes a significant support zone.
Resistance:
Bearish FVGs represent potential resistance levels, indicating zones where the price might stall or reverse direction.
Why a Repeatedly Mitigated FVG is Significant
When an FVG is touched or mitigated multiple times, it means the market recognizes that area as significant. This can happen for several reasons:
Accumulation or Distribution: Institutional traders may use these zones to accumulate or distribute positions without causing excessive market movement.
Presence of Liquidity: FVGs often represent areas with pending orders (stop-losses, limit orders), and the price revisits these zones to seek liquidity.
Market Equilibrium: When an FVG is repeatedly filled, it indicates the market's attempt to balance a demand-supply imbalance. This makes the zone an important level to monitor for potential breakouts or reversals.
Smart Money Concepts by WeloTradesThe "Smart Money Concepts by WeloTrades" indicator is designed to offer traders a comprehensive tool that integrates multiple advanced features to aid in market analysis. By combining order blocks, liquidity levels, fair value gaps, trendlines, and market structure analysis, the indicator provides a holistic approach to understanding market dynamics and making informed trading decisions.
Components and Their Integration:
Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks Detection
Functionality: Order blocks represent areas where significant buying or selling occurred, creating potential support or resistance zones. Breaker blocks signal potential reversals.
Integration: By detecting and visualizing these blocks, the indicator helps traders identify key levels where price might react, aiding in entry and exit decisions. The customizable settings allow traders to adjust the visibility and parameters to suit their specific trading strategy.
Liquidity Levels Analysis
Functionality: Liquidity levels indicate zones where significant price movements can occur due to the presence of large orders. These are areas where smart money might be executing trades.
Integration: By tracking these high-probability liquidity areas, traders can anticipate potential price movements. Customizable display limits and mitigation strategies ensure that the information is tailored to the trader’s needs, providing precise and actionable insights.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Functionality: Fair value gaps highlight areas where there is an imbalance between buyers and sellers. These gaps often represent potential trading opportunities.
Integration: The ability to identify and analyze FVGs helps traders spot potential entries based on market inefficiencies. The touch and break detection functionalities provide further refinement, enhancing the precision of trading signals.
Trendlines
Functionality: Trendlines help in identifying the direction of the market and potential reversal points. The additional trendline adds a layer of confirmation for breaks or retests.
Integration: Automatically drawn trendlines assist traders in visualizing market trends and making decisions about potential entries and exits. The additional trendline for stronger confirmation reduces the risk of false signals, providing more reliable trading opportunities.
Market Structure Analysis
Functionality: Understanding market structure is crucial for identifying key support and resistance levels and overall market dynamics. This component displays internal, external, and composite market structures.
Integration: By automatically highlighting shifts in market structure, the indicator helps traders recognize important levels and potential changes in market direction. This analysis is critical for strategic planning and execution in trading.
Customizable Alerts
Functionality: Alerts ensure that traders do not miss significant market events, such as the formation or breach of order blocks, liquidity levels, and trendline interactions.
Integration: Customizable alerts enhance the user experience by providing timely notifications of key events. This feature ensures that traders can act quickly and efficiently, leveraging the insights provided by the indicator.
Interactive Visualization
Functionality: Customizable visual aspects of the indicator allow traders to tailor the display to their preferences and trading style.
Integration: This feature enhances user engagement and usability, making it easier for traders to interpret the data and make informed decisions. Personalization options like colors, styles, and display formats improve the overall effectiveness of the indicator.
How Components Work Together
Comprehensive Market Analysis
Each component of the indicator addresses a different aspect of market analysis. Order blocks and liquidity levels highlight potential support and resistance zones, while fair value gaps and trendlines provide additional context for potential entries and exits. Market structure analysis ties everything together by offering a broad view of market dynamics.
Synergistic Insights
The integration of multiple features allows for cross-validation of trading signals. For instance, an order block coinciding with a high-probability liquidity level and a fair value gap can provide a stronger signal than any of these features alone. This synergy enhances the reliability of the insights and trading signals generated by the indicator.
Enhanced Decision Making
By combining these advanced features into a single tool, traders are equipped with a powerful resource for making informed decisions. The customizable alerts and interactive visualization further support this by ensuring that traders can act quickly on the insights provided.

Follow-up Buy / Sell Volume Pressure at Supply / Demand Zones█ Overview:
BE-Volume Footprint & Pressure Candles, is an indicator which is preliminarily designed to analyze the supply and demand patterns based on Rally Base Rally (RBR), Drop Base Drop (DBD), Drop Base Rally (DBR) & Rally Base Drop (RBD) concepts in conjunction to volume pressure. Understanding these concepts are crucial. Let's break down why the "Base" is you Best friend in this context.
Commonness in RBR, DBD, DBR, RBD patterns ?
There is an impulse price movement at first, be it rally (price moving up) or the Drop (price moving down), followed by a period of consolidation which is referred as "BASE" and later with another impulse move of price (Rally or Drop).
Why is the Base Important
1. Market Balance: Base represents a balance between buyers and sellers. This is where decisions are made.
2. Confirmation: It confirms the strength of previous impulse move which has happened.
Base & the Liquidity Play:
Supply & Demand Zone predict the presence of all large orders within the limits of the Base Zone. Price is expected to return to the zone to fill the unfilled orders placed by large players.
For the price to move in the intended direction Liquidity plays the major role. hence indicator aims to help traders in identifying those zones where liquidity exists and the volume pressure helps in confirming that liquidity is making its play.
Bottom pane in the below snapshots is a visual representation of Buyers volume pressure (Green Line & the Green filled area) making the price move upwards vs Sellers volume pressure (Red Line & the Red filled area) making the price move downwards.
Top pane in the below snapshots is a visual representation on the pattern identification (Blue marked zone & the Blue line referred as Liquidity level)
Bullish Pressure On Buy Liquidity:
Bearish Pressure On Sell Liquidity:
█ How It Works:
1. Indicator computes technical & mathematical operations such as ATR, delta of Highs & Lows of the candle and Candle ranges to identify the patterns and marks the liquidity lines accordingly.
2. Indicator then waits for price to return to the liquidity levels and checks if Directional volume pressure to flow-in while the prices hover near the Liquidity zones.
3. Once the Volume pressure is evident, loop in to the ride.
█ When It wont Work:
When there no sufficient Liquidity or sustained Opposite volume pressure, trades are expected to fail.
█ Limitations:
Works only on the scripts which has volume info. Relays on LTF candles to determine intra-bar volumes. Hence, Use on TF greater than 1 min and lesser than 15 min.
█ Indicator Features:
1. StrictEntries: employs' tighter rules (rather most significant setups) on the directional volume pressure applied for the price to move. If unchecked, liberal rules applied on the directional volume pressure leading to more setups being identified.
2. Setup Confirmation period: Indicates Waiting period to analyze the directional volume pressure. Early (lesser wait period) is Risky and Late (longer wait period) is too late for the
ride. Find the quant based on the accuracy of the setup provided in the bottom right table.
3. Algo Enabled with Place Holders:
Indicator is equipped with algo alerts, supported with necessary placeholders to trade any instrument like stock, options etc.

Son Model ICT [TradingFinder] HTF DOL H1 + Sweep M15 + FVG M1🔵 Introduction
The ICT Son Model setup is a precise trading strategy based on market structure and liquidity, implemented across multiple timeframes. This setup first identifies a liquidity level in the 1-hour (1H) timeframe and then confirms a Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the 5-minute (5M) timeframe to validate the trend. After confirmation, the price forms a new swing in the 5-minute timeframe, absorbing liquidity.
Once this level is broken, traders typically drop to the 30-second (30s) timeframe and enter trades based on a Fair Value Gap (FVG). However, since access to the 30-second timeframe is not available to most traders, we take the entry signal directly from the 5-minute timeframe, using the same liquidity zones and confirmed breakouts to execute trades. This approach simplifies execution and makes the strategy accessible to all traders.
This model operates in two setups :
Bullish ICT Son Model and Bearish ICT Son Model. In the bullish setup, liquidity is first accumulated at the lows of the 1-hour timeframe, and after confirming a market structure shift, a long position is initiated. Conversely, in the bearish setup, liquidity is first drawn from higher levels, and upon confirmation of a bearish trend, a short position is executed.
Bullish Setup :
Bearish Setup :
🔵 How to Use
The ICT Son Model setup is designed around liquidity analysis and market structure shifts and can be applied in both bullish and bearish market conditions. The strategy first identifies a liquidity level in the 1-hour (1H) timeframe and then confirms a Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the 5-minute (5M) timeframe.
After this shift, the price forms a new swing, absorbing liquidity. When this level is broken in the 5-minute timeframe, the trader enters based on a Fair Value Gap (FVG). While the ideal entry is in the 30-second (30s) timeframe, due to accessibility constraints, we take entry signals directly from the 5-minute timeframe.
🟣 Bullish Setup
In the Bullish ICT Son Model, the 1-hour timeframe first identifies liquidity at the market lows, where price sweeps this level to absorb liquidity. Then, in the 5-minute timeframe, an MSS confirms the bullish shift.
After confirmation, the price forms a new swing, absorbing liquidity at a higher level. The price then retraces into a Fair Value Gap (FVG) created in the 5-minute timeframe, where the trader enters a long position, placing the stop-loss below the FVG.
🟣 Bearish Setup
In the Bearish ICT Son Model, liquidity at higher market levels is identified in the 1-hour timeframe, where price sweeps these levels to absorb liquidity. Then, in the 5-minute timeframe, an MSS confirms the bearish trend.
After confirmation, the price forms a new swing, absorbing liquidity at a lower level. The price then retraces into a Fair Value Gap (FVG) created in the 5-minute timeframe, where the trader enters a short position, placing the stop-loss above the FVG.
🔵 Settings
Swing period : You can set the swing detection period.
Max Swing Back Method : It is in two modes "All" and "Custom". If it is in "All" mode, it will check all swings, and if it is in "Custom" mode, it will check the swings to the extent you determine.
Max Swing Back : You can set the number of swings that will go back for checking.
FVG Length : Default is 120 Bar.
MSS Length : Default is 80 Bar.
FVG Filter : This refines the number of identified FVG areas based on a specified algorithm to focus on higher quality signals and reduce noise.
Types of FVG filters :
Very Aggressive Filter: Adds a condition where, for an upward FVG, the last candle's highest price must exceed the middle candle's highest price, and for a downward FVG, the last candle's lowest price must be lower than the middle candle's lowest price. This minimally filters out FVGs.
Aggressive Filter: Builds on the Very Aggressive mode by ensuring the middle candle is not too small, filtering out more FVGs.
Defensive Filter: Adds criteria regarding the size and structure of the middle candle, requiring it to have a substantial body and specific polarity conditions, filtering out a significant number of FVGs.
Very Defensive Filter: Further refines filtering by ensuring the first and third candles are not small-bodied doji candles, retaining only the highest quality signals.
🔵 Conclusion
The ICT Son Model setup is a structured and precise method for trade execution based on liquidity analysis and market structure shifts. This strategy first identifies a liquidity level in the 1-hour timeframe and then confirms a trend shift using the 5-minute timeframe.
Trade entries are executed based on Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), which highlight optimal entry points. By applying this model, traders can leverage existing market liquidity to enter high-probability trades. The bullish setup activates when liquidity is swept from market lows and a market structure shift confirms an upward trend, whereas the bearish setup is used when liquidity is drawn from market highs, confirming a downtrend.
This approach enables traders to identify high-probability trade setups with greater precision compared to many other strategies. Additionally, since access to the 30-second timeframe is limited, the strategy remains fully functional in the 5-minute timeframe, making it more practical and accessible for a wider range of traders.
