Metatron Lines (Highs & Lows Geometry)Metatron Lines
Hey TradingView community! 👋
I wanted to share something I've been working on that might help you see market structure from a different angle. This indicator connects pivot highs and lows using geometric patterns, creating what I call "Metatron Lines."
What it does (simply put):
- Finds significant highs and lows on your chart
- Draws lines connecting these points to reveal hidden geometric relationships
- Shows you the underlying structure that price tends to respect
Why I built this:
I noticed that markets often move in patterns that aren't immediately obvious. Sometimes the most important levels aren't the obvious support and resistance lines, but the intersections and angles created by connecting multiple pivot points. This tool helps visualize those relationships.
How it might help you:
- Pattern Recognition : Spot geometric formations that traditional analysis might miss
- Support/Resistance : See where multiple geometric lines converge to create strong levels
- Market Structure : Better understand how price flows and where it might find obstacles
- Confluence Areas : Identify zones where multiple geometric elements align
A few honest thoughts:
This isn't a magic bullet or a guaranteed profit maker (nothing is!). It's simply another lens through which to view price action. Some traders find geometric analysis helpful, others prefer different approaches - and that's perfectly fine.
I've tried to make it customizable so you can adjust it to fit your trading style and timeframe. The default settings work well for most instruments, but feel free to experiment.
Settings you can adjust:
- Pivot detection sensitivity
- Number of connection points
- Line colors and styles
- Which connections to show (highs, lows, or both)
I hope some of you find this useful! I'm always learning from this community, so if you have suggestions for improvements or different ways to use it, I'd love to hear them.
Trade safe and trust your process! 📈

StatPivot- Dynamic Range Analyzer - indicator [PresentTrading]Hello everyone! In the following few open scripts, I would like to share various statistical tools that benefit trading. For this time, it is a powerful indicator called StatPivot- Dynamic Range Analyzer that brings a whole new dimension to your technical analysis toolkit.
This tool goes beyond traditional pivot point analysis by providing comprehensive statistical insights about price movements, helping you identify high-probability trading opportunities based on historical data patterns rather than subjective interpretations. Whether you're a day trader, swing trader, or position trader, StatPivot's real-time percentile rankings give you a statistical edge in understanding exactly where current price action stands within historical contexts.
Welcome to share your opinions! Looking forward to sharing the next tool soon!
█ Introduction and How it is Different
StatPivot is an advanced technical analysis tool that revolutionizes retracement analysis. Unlike traditional pivot indicators that only show static support/resistance levels, StatPivot delivers dynamic statistical insights based on historical pivot patterns.
Its key innovation is real-time percentile calculation - while conventional tools require new pivot formations before updating (often too late for trading decisions), StatPivot continuously analyzes where current price stands within historical retracement distributions.
Furthermore, StatPivot provides comprehensive statistical metrics including mean, median, standard deviation, and percentile distributions of price movements, giving traders a probabilistic edge by revealing which price levels represent statistically significant zones for potential reversals or continuations. By transforming raw price data into statistical insights, StatPivot helps traders move beyond subjective price analysis to evidence-based decision making.
█ Strategy, How it Works: Detailed Explanation
🔶 Pivot Point Detection and Analysis
The core of StatPivot's functionality begins with identifying significant pivot points in the price structure. Using the parameters left and right, the indicator locates pivot highs and lows by examining a specified number of bars to the left and right of each potential pivot point:
Copyp_low = ta.pivotlow(low, left, right)
p_high = ta.pivothigh(high, left, right)
For a point to qualify as a pivot low, it must have left higher lows to its left and right higher lows to its right. Similarly, a pivot high must have left lower highs to its left and right lower highs to its right. This approach ensures that only significant turning points are recognized.
🔶 Percentage Change Calculation
Once pivot points are identified, StatPivot calculates the percentage changes between consecutive pivot points:
For drops (when a pivot low is lower than the previous pivot low):
CopydropPercent = (previous_pivot_low - current_pivot_low) / previous_pivot_low * 100
For rises (when a pivot high is higher than the previous pivot high):
CopyrisePercent = (current_pivot_high - previous_pivot_high) / previous_pivot_high * 100
These calculations quantify the magnitude of each market swing, allowing for statistical analysis of historical price movements.
🔶 Statistical Distribution Analysis
StatPivot computes comprehensive statistics on the historical distribution of drops and rises:
Average (Mean): The arithmetic mean of all recorded percentage changes
CopyavgDrop = array.avg(dropValues)
Median: The middle value when all percentage changes are arranged in order
CopymedianDrop = array.median(dropValues)
Standard Deviation: Measures the dispersion of percentage changes from the average
CopystdDevDrop = array.stdev(dropValues)
Percentiles (25th, 75th): Values below which 25% and 75% of observations fall
Copyq1 = array.get(sorted, math.floor(cnt * 0.25))
q3 = array.get(sorted, math.floor(cnt * 0.75))
VaR95: The maximum expected percentage drop with 95% confidence
Copyvar95D = array.get(sortedD, math.floor(nD * 0.95))
Coefficient of Variation (CV): Measures relative variability
CopycvD = stdDevDrop / avgDrop
These statistics provide a comprehensive view of market behavior, enabling traders to understand the typical ranges and extreme moves.
🔶 Real-time Percentile Ranking
StatPivot's most innovative feature is its real-time percentile calculation. For each current price, it calculates:
The percentage drop from the latest pivot high:
CopycurrentDropPct = (latestPivotHigh - close) / latestPivotHigh * 100
The percentage rise from the latest pivot low:
CopycurrentRisePct = (close - latestPivotLow) / latestPivotLow * 100
The percentile ranks of these values within the historical distribution:
CopyrealtimeDropRank = (count of historical drops <= currentDropPct) / total drops * 100
This calculation reveals exactly where the current price movement stands in relation to all historical movements, providing crucial context for decision-making.
🔶 Cluster Analysis
To identify the most common retracement zones, StatPivot performs a cluster analysis by dividing the range of historical drops into five equal intervals:
CopyrangeSize = maxVal - minVal
For each interval boundary:
Copyboundaries = minVal + rangeSize * i / 5
By counting the number of observations in each interval, the indicator identifies the most frequently occurring retracement zones, which often serve as significant support or resistance areas.
🔶 Expected Price Targets
Using the statistical data, StatPivot calculates expected price targets:
CopytargetBuyPrice = close * (1 - avgDrop / 100)
targetSellPrice = close * (1 + avgRise / 100)
These targets represent statistically probable price levels for potential entries and exits based on the average historical behavior of the market.
█ Trade Direction
StatPivot functions as an analytical tool rather than a direct trading signal generator, providing statistical insights that can be applied to various trading strategies. However, the data it generates can be interpreted for different trade directions:
For Long Trades:
Entry considerations: Look for price drops that reach the 70-80th percentile range in the historical distribution, suggesting a statistically significant retracement
Target setting: Use the Expected Sell price or consider the average rise percentage as a reasonable target
Risk management: Set stop losses below recent pivot lows or at a distance related to the statistical volatility (standard deviation)
For Short Trades:
Entry considerations: Look for price rises that reach the 70-80th percentile range, indicating an unusual extension
Target setting: Use the Expected Buy price or average drop percentage as a target
Risk management: Set stop losses above recent pivot highs or based on statistical measures of volatility
For Range Trading:
Use the most common drop and rise clusters to identify probable reversal zones
Trade bounces between these statistically significant levels
For Trend Following:
Confirm trend strength by analyzing consecutive higher pivot lows (uptrend) or lower pivot highs (downtrend)
Use lower percentile retracements (20-30th percentile) as entry opportunities in established trends
█ Usage
StatPivot offers multiple ways to integrate its statistical insights into your trading workflow:
Statistical Table Analysis: Review the comprehensive statistics displayed in the data table to understand the market's behavior. Pay particular attention to:
Average drop and rise percentages to set reasonable expectations
Standard deviation to gauge volatility
VaR95 for risk assessment
Real-time Percentile Monitoring: Watch the real-time percentile display to see where the current price movement stands within the historical distribution. This can help identify:
Extreme movements (90th+ percentile) that might indicate reversal opportunities
Typical retracements (40-60th percentile) that might continue further
Shallow pullbacks (10-30th percentile) that might represent continuation opportunities in trends
Support and Resistance Identification: Utilize the plotted pivot points as key support and resistance levels, especially when they align with statistically significant percentile ranges.
Target Price Setting: Use the expected buy and sell prices calculated from historical averages as initial targets for your trades.
Risk Management: Apply the statistical measurements like standard deviation and VaR95 to set appropriate stop loss levels that account for the market's historical volatility.
Pattern Recognition: Over time, learn to recognize when certain percentile levels consistently lead to reversals or continuations in your specific market, and develop personalized strategies based on these observations.
█ Default Settings
The default settings of StatPivot have been carefully calibrated to provide reliable statistical analysis across a variety of markets and timeframes, but understanding their effects allows for optimal customization:
Left Bars (30) and Right Bars (30): These parameters determine how pivot points are identified. With both set to 30 by default:
A pivot low must be the lowest point among 30 bars to its left and 30 bars to its right
A pivot high must be the highest point among 30 bars to its left and 30 bars to its right
Effect on performance: Larger values create fewer but more significant pivot points, reducing noise but potentially missing important market structures. Smaller values generate more pivot points, capturing more nuanced movements but potentially including noise.
Table Position (Top Right): Determines where the statistical data table appears on the chart.
Effect on performance: No impact on analytical performance, purely a visual preference.
Show Distribution Histogram (False): Controls whether the distribution histogram of drop percentages is displayed.
Effect on performance: Enabling this provides visual insight into the distribution of retracements but can clutter the chart.
Show Real-time Percentile (True): Toggles the display of real-time percentile rankings.
Effect on performance: A critical setting that enables the dynamic analysis of current price movements. Disabling this removes one of the key advantages of the indicator.
Real-time Percentile Display Mode (Label): Chooses between label display or indicator line for percentile rankings.
Effect on performance: Labels provide precise information at the current price point, while indicator lines show the evolution of percentile rankings over time.
Advanced Considerations for Settings Optimization:
Timeframe Adjustment: Higher timeframes generally benefit from larger Left/Right values to identify truly significant pivots, while lower timeframes may require smaller values to capture shorter-term swings.
Volatility-Based Tuning: In highly volatile markets, consider increasing the Left/Right values to filter out noise. In less volatile conditions, lower values can help identify more potential entry and exit points.
Market-Specific Optimization: Different markets (forex, stocks, commodities) display different retracement patterns. Monitor the statistics table to see if your market typically shows larger or smaller retracements than the current settings are optimized for.
Trading Style Alignment: Adjust the settings to match your trading timeframe. Day traders might prefer settings that identify shorter-term pivots (smaller Left/Right values), while swing traders benefit from more significant pivots (larger Left/Right values).
By understanding how these settings affect the analysis and customizing them to your specific market and trading style, you can maximize the effectiveness of StatPivot as a powerful statistical tool for identifying high-probability trading opportunities.
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.
Non-Psychological Levels🟩 Non-Psychological Levels is a structural analysis tool that segments price action into objective ranges, identifying Broken and Unbroken levels without relying on psychological or time-based assumptions. By emphasizing mechanically derived price behavior, it provides traders with a clear framework for analyzing support and resistance in a consistent and unbiased manner across various market conditions.
This indicator introduces a new approach to understanding market structure by focusing on price movement within defined segments, free from behavioral patterns, round numbers, or specific time intervals. While the indicator is time-agnostic in design, it works within the natural time progression of the chart, ensuring that segmentation aligns with the inherent structure of price movement. Broken levels, where price has breached a structural boundary, and Unbroken levels, which remain intact, are visualized with horizontal lines. These structural zones are complemented by dynamically boxed segments that contextualize both historical and ongoing price behavior.
By offering an objective perspective, the Non-Psychological Levels indicator complements psychology-based tools, helping traders explore market dynamics from multiple angles. When structural levels align with psychological zones, they reinforce critical price areas; when they differ, they provide opportunities to analyze price behavior from an alternative lens. This indicator is designed as both an educational framework and a practical tool, encouraging a deeper understanding of structural price behavior in technical analysis.
⭕ THEORY AND CONCEPT ⭕
The Non-Psychological Levels indicator is grounded in the principle of analyzing price behavior without reliance on psychological assumptions or time-based factors. Its primary purpose is to provide a structural framework for identifying support and resistance levels by focusing solely on price movement within mechanically defined segments. By removing external influences such as sentiment, time intervals, or market sessions, the indicator offers an unbiased lens through which traders can observe price dynamics.
Non-psychology, as defined here, refers to an approach that excludes behavioral and emotional patterns—like fear, greed, or herd mentality—from price analysis. Traditional tools often depend on these patterns to identify zones such as pivots or Fibonacci retracements, but these methods can be inconsistent in volatile markets. In contrast, the Non-Psychological Levels indicator focuses entirely on what price is doing, free from assumptions about trader behavior or external time constraints.
The indicator’s time-agnostic and mechanically driven design segments price action into consistent ranges, highlighting "Broken" levels (where price breaches structural boundaries) and "Unbroken" levels (where price holds). These structural zones remain unaffected by subjective or external influences, ensuring clarity and consistency across different markets and timeframes. By doing so, the indicator reveals a pure view of price structure, independent of psychological biases.
Importantly, the Non-Psychological Levels indicator is not intended to replace psychology-based tools but to complement them. When its structural levels align with psychological zones like round numbers or session highs/lows, the significance of these areas is reinforced. Conversely, when the levels differ, the contrast provides traders with alternative insights into market dynamics. This dual perspective—blending mechanical objectivity with behavioral analysis—enhances the depth and flexibility of market evaluation.
The following principles outline the theoretical foundation of the indicator and its unique contribution to structural price analysis:
Time-Agnostic Design : The indicator avoids reliance on time-based factors like daily opens, session intervals, or specific events. Instead, it segments price action using bar indexes, ensuring that structural levels are identified independently of external time variables. While the x-axis of a chart inherently represents time, this indicator abstracts away its influence, allowing traders to focus purely on price movement without the bias of temporal context.
Mechanical and Neutral Framework : Every calculation within the indicator is predetermined by a set of mechanical rules, ensuring no subjective input or interpretation affects the results. This objectivity guarantees that levels are derived solely from observed price behavior, providing a reliable framework that traders can trust to remain consistent across different assets, timeframes, and market conditions.
Broken and Unbroken Levels : Broken levels represent zones where price has breached a structural boundary, while Unbroken levels highlight areas where price has consistently respected its range. This distinction provides a clear and systematic method for identifying key support and resistance levels, offering insights into where future price interactions are most likely to occur.
Neutral Price Behavior : By dividing price action into equal segments, the indicator removes the influence of external factors like trader sentiment or psychological expectations. Each segment independently determines significant levels based purely on price action, enabling a structural view of the market that abstracts away behavioral or emotional biases.
Complement to Psychological Tools : While the indicator itself avoids behavioral assumptions, its levels can align with psychological zones like round numbers, pivots, or Fibonacci levels. When these structural and psychological levels overlap, it reinforces the importance of key areas, while divergences offer opportunities to examine price behavior from a new perspective.
Educational Value : The indicator encourages traders to explore the contrast between structural and psychological analysis. By introducing a framework that isolates price behavior from external influences, it challenges traditional methods of technical analysis, fostering deeper insights into market structure and behavior.
🔍 UNDERSTANDING STRUCTURAL LEVELS 🔍
The Non-Psychological Levels indicator offers a straightforward yet powerful way to understand market structure by segmenting price action into mechanically defined ranges. This segmentation highlights two key elements: "Broken" levels, where price has breached structural boundaries, and "Unbroken" levels, which remain intact and respected by price action. Together, these components create a framework for identifying potential areas of support and resistance.
Broken Levels : These are structural boundaries that price has surpassed, indicating areas where previous support or resistance failed. Broken levels often signal transitions in price behavior, such as shifts in momentum or the start of trending movements. They provide insight into zones where price has already tested and moved beyond.
Unbroken Levels : These levels remain intact within a given price segment, marking areas where price has consistently respected boundaries. Unbroken levels are particularly useful for identifying potential reversal points or zones of continued support or resistance. Their persistence across price action often makes them reliable indicators of market structure.
The visual segmentation of price action into distinct ranges allows traders to observe how price transitions between structural zones. For example:
- Clusters of Unbroken levels near the current price may suggest strong support or resistance, offering areas of interest for reversals or breakouts.
- Gaps between Unbroken levels highlight areas of price inefficiency or low interaction, which may become significant if revisited.
By focusing solely on structural price behavior, the Non-Psychological Levels indicator enables traders to analyze price independently of time or psychological factors. This makes it a valuable tool for understanding price dynamics objectively, whether used on its own or alongside other indicators.
🛠️ SETTINGS 🛠️
The Non-Psychological Levels indicator offers various customizable settings to help users tailor its visualization to their specific trading style and market conditions. These settings allow adjustments to sensitivity, level projection, and the source of price calculations (e.g., wicks or closing prices). Below, we outline each setting and its impact on the chart, along with examples to illustrate their functionality.
Custom Settings
Sensitivity : This setting adjusts the balance between detailed and broader structural levels by controlling the number of segments. Higher values result in more segments, revealing finer price levels, while lower values consolidate segments to highlight major price movements.
Source : Allows the user to choose between 'Wick' or 'Close' for detecting levels. Selecting 'Wick' emphasizes the absolute highs and lows of price action, while 'Close' focuses on closing prices within each segment.
Level Labels : Configures the visual representation of price levels, allowing users to toggle between price values, symbols (▲ ▼), or disabling labels altogether. This setting ensures clarity in how Broken and Unbroken levels are displayed on the chart.
Unbroken Levels : - - - Users can customize the colors and label styles for Unbroken levels, which highlight areas where price has respected structural boundaries.
Broken Levels : -|- Similar to Unbroken levels, users can specify the visual appearance of Broken levels, including color customization for Broken highs and lows. These settings help distinguish areas where price has breached a structural boundary.
Projection Options : This setting allows users to control how broken and unbroken levels are visually extended on the chart. The Future option projects lines forward to the right of the current price, showing potential future relevance of levels. The All option extends lines both forward and backward, providing a comprehensive view of how levels align with historical and potential future price action. The None option disables projections, keeping the chart focused solely on current segment levels without any extensions.
Segments : Includes options for customizing the segment visualization:
- Live Segment : Toggles the display of a highlighted box representing the current developing segment, helping users focus on ongoing price action.
- Boxes : Allows users to display filled boxes around each segment for additional visual emphasis.
- Segment Colors : Users can define separate colors for support (lower) and resistance (upper) segments, making it easier to interpret directional trends.
- Boundaries : Enables or disables vertical lines to mark segment boundaries, providing a clearer view of structural divisions.
Repaint : This setting allows users to enable or disable triangle labels within the live segment. When enabled, the triangles dynamically update to reflect real-time price behavior during the live bar but will repaint until the bar is fully confirmed. Disabling this option prevents the triangles from appearing during the live bar, reducing potential confusion as they may otherwise flash on and off during price updates. This setting ensures users can choose their preferred visualization while maintaining clarity in real-time analysis.
Color Settings : Offers extensive customization for all visual elements, including Broken and Unbroken levels, segment boundaries, and live segments. These settings ensure the indicator can adapt to individual preferences for chart readability.
🖼️ CHART EXAMPLES 🖼️
The following chart examples illustrate different configurations and features of the Non-Psychological Levels indicator. These examples highlight how the indicator’s settings influence the visualization of structural price behavior, helping traders understand its functionality in various scenarios.
Broken and Unbroken Levels : Orange prices are Broken HIghs. Blue prices are Broken Lows. Green and Red are Unbroken.
Boundaries : Enable Boundaries to visualize segments.
High Sensitivity Setting : A high sensitivity setting produces fewer segments and levels, emphasizing broader price ranges and major structural zones. This configuration is better suited for higher timeframes or identifying overarching trends.
Low Sensitivity Setting : A low sensitivity setting results in a greater number of segments and levels, offering a granular view of price structure. This configuration is ideal for analyzing detailed price movements on lower timeframes.
Live Segment with Triangles Enabled : This example shows the live segment box with triangle labels enabled. These triangles update dynamically during the live bar but may repaint until the bar is confirmed, helping traders observe real-time price behavior.
Broken and Unbroken Levels : This example highlights Broken levels (where price has breached structural boundaries and are drawn through subsequent price action) and Unbroken levels (where price has respected structural boundaries). These distinctions visually identify areas of potential support and resistance.
Broken and Unbroken Levels with Projection: All : This example demonstrates the "Project All" feature, where broken and unbroken levels are extended both forward and backward on the chart. This visualization highlights historical and potential future support and resistance zones, helping traders better understand how price interacts with these structural levels over time.
Segment Boxes with Boundaries : Filled boxes around individual segments visually distinguish each price interval, offering clarity in observing structural price transitions.
📊 SUMMARY 📊
The Non-Psychological Levels indicator provides a unique framework for analyzing structural price behavior through the identification of Broken and Unbroken levels. These levels act as a mechanical representation of support and resistance, independent of psychological biases or time-based factors. By focusing purely on price movement within defined segments, the indicator offers a neutral and consistent approach to understanding market dynamics.
This method complements traditional tools by providing an unbiased perspective. When structural levels align with psychological zones—such as round numbers or session-based highs and lows—they reinforce the significance of these areas as key price zones. When they diverge, the indicator introduces an alternative view, prompting further exploration of price behavior. This dual perspective enhances the depth of analysis by combining the mechanical and behavioral aspects of price action.
The Non-Psychological Levels indicator is not designed to generate trading signals or predict future price movements but serves as a visual and educational tool. Its adaptability across all markets and timeframes allows traders to integrate it into their broader strategies. By highlighting structural price dynamics, the indicator offers a fresh perspective on market analysis while remaining compatible with other technical tools.
⚙️ COMPATIBILITY AND LIMITATIONS ⚙️
Asset Compatibility :
The Non-Psychological Levels indicator is compatible with all asset classes, including cryptocurrencies, forex, stocks, and commodities. It can be applied to any chart or timeframe, making it a flexible tool for structural price analysis. Users should adjust the Sensitivity setting to ensure the segmentation aligns with the price behavior of the specific asset being analyzed. For instance, higher sensitivity values are more suitable for assets with large price ranges, while lower values work well for assets with tighter ranges.
Visual Range Dependency :
The indicator is optimized to perform calculations only within the visible range of the chart. This is a significant advantage, as it prevents unnecessary calculations and maintains efficient performance. However, because of this dependency, levels may appear to "recalculate" when the chart is zoomed in or out quickly or shifted abruptly. While this does not affect the integrity of the levels, it may cause a temporary lag as the indicator adjusts to the new visual range.
Persistence of Levels Beyond Visibility :
Even if levels are not visible on the chart due to zoom or scroll settings, they still exist in the background and are recalculated when revisited. This ensures that the structural price analysis remains consistent, regardless of the chart view.
Box Limitations in Pine Script :
The indicator is subject to Pine Script's inherent limitation of 500 boxes. This means that no more than 500 segments or level boxes can be drawn on the chart simultaneously. For most configurations, this limitation is mitigated by focusing on the visual range, but users employing very low sensitivity settings may exceed the limit. In such cases, only the most recent 500 boxes will be displayed, potentially omitting earlier segments.
Lag with Low Sensitivity Settings :
When sensitivity is set to a low value, the indicator creates many more segments, resulting in finer granularity and a higher number of boxes. While this provides detailed structural levels, it may increase the likelihood of exceeding Pine Script’s 500-box limit or cause a temporary lag when rendering a dense set of boxes over a wide visual range. Users should adjust sensitivity to balance detail with performance, especially on assets with high volatility or broad price ranges.
Live Segment Caution :
The live segment box updates in real time to reflect price movements as the segment is still developing. Since the segment high and segment low are not yet finalized, users should interpret this feature as a dynamic visualization of current price behavior rather than a definitive structural analysis. This ensures clarity during ongoing price action while maintaining the integrity of the indicator's framework.
Cross-Market Versatility :
The indicator’s time-agnostic and mechanical design ensures that it functions identically across all markets and timeframes. However, users should consider the unique characteristics of different markets when interpreting the results, as certain assets (e.g., highly volatile cryptocurrencies) may require sensitivity adjustments for optimal segmentation.
Visual Range Dependency: Levels recalculate efficiently within the chart's visible range but may lag temporarily when zooming or scrolling quickly.
These considerations ensure that the Non-Psychological Levels indicator remains robust and versatile while highlighting some inherent limitations of Pine Script and real-time recalculations. Users can mitigate these constraints by carefully adjusting sensitivity and understanding how the visual range dependency affects performance.
⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️
The Non-Psychological Levels indicator is a visual analysis tool and is not designed as a predictive or trading signal indicator. Its primary purpose is to highlight structural price levels, providing an objective framework for understanding support and resistance within mechanically segmented price action.
The indicator operates within the visible range of the chart to ensure efficiency and adaptiveness, but this recalculation should not be interpreted as a forecast of future price behavior. While the structural levels may align with significant price zones in hindsight, they are purely a reflection of observed price dynamics and should not be used as standalone trading signals.
This indicator is intended as an educational and visual aid to complement other analysis methods. Users are encouraged to integrate it into a broader trading strategy and make adjustments to the settings based on their individual needs and market conditions.

DTFX Algo Zones [LuxAlgo]DTFX Algo Zones are auto-generated Fibonacci Retracements based on market structure shifts.
These retracement levels are intended to be used as support and resistance levels to look for price to bounce off of to confirm direction.
🔶 USAGE
Due to the retracement levels only being generated from identified market structure shifts, the retracements are confined to only draw from areas considered more important due to the technical Break of Structure (BOS) or Change of Character (CHoCH).
The simple action that causes a market structure shift occurs is price breaking above or below a specific swing point. When a market structure shift happens, a retracement is drawn from the point of break to the highest or lowest point since that point. Due to the price action necessary for a market structure shift, these retracements will not always be immediately actionable.
These retracement levels are intended to be used as points to watch for price to retrace to and bounce from, confirming the current direction of price.
In the example below, after the retracement is initiated, by bouncing off of the retracement levels formed from the previous market structure shift it would further confirm the bias of the market structure shift. A break going through these levels would display a weakness from the current market structure shift, implying that it could simply be noise.
🔶 DETAILS
The script uses standard SMC Market structure identification to determine Break of Structures (BOS) and Change of Characters (CHoCH). The specific swing points can be identified by the shapes placed above or below the specific swing high/low candle.
By unchecking the "Display All Zones" setting, users are able to specify the exact number of retracement zones to display using the "Show Last" parameter. This is handy for cleaning up the chart to stay focused on the most recent retracements.
Additionally, when displaying multiple zones, the "Clean-Up Level Overlap" setting may be helpful for decluttering as well. This option optimizes the display of retracement levels to minimize their overlap on other adjacent zones.
The script allows for up to 5 Fib levels to be displayed from each zone, with options for display, value, line style, and color for each of the 5.
The calculation for Fib Levels changes depending on the direction of market structure shifts. When an upwards (Bullish) zone is generated, the retracement is drawn with the bottom of the zone being 0 and the top of the zone being 1. This is reversed for downwards (Bearish) zones.
🔶 SETTINGS
Structure Length: Sets the SMC structure length to use for finding MMS.
Show Last: Displays this number of retracement zones. (Display All Zones Must be Unchecked)
Display All Zones: Ignores "Show Last" number and displays all historical MMS Retracement Zones.
Zone Display: Choose which zones to display, only bearish, only bullish, or both.
Clean-Up Level Overlap: Minimizes overlap between adjacent zones and levels.
Fib Levels: Settings to display and customize up to 5 Fib levels for each zone.
FluidTrades - SMC Lite
Price action and supply and demand is a key strategy use in trading. We wanted it to be easy and efficient for user to identify these zones, so the user can focus less on marking up charts and focus more on executing trades.
This indicator shows you supply and demand zones by using pivot points to show you the recent highs and the recent lows.
Features
This indicator includes some features relevant to SMC , these are highlighted below:
Full internal & swing market structure labeling in real-time
Swing Structure: Displays the swing structure labels & solid lines on the chart (BOS).
Supply & demand ( bullish & bearish )
Swing Points: Displays swing points labels on chart such as HH, HL, LH, LL.
Options to style the indicator to more easily display these concepts
White OB (supply): search for short opportunities
Blue OB (demand): search for long opportunities
Break of structure ( BOS )
For markets to move up and down a break in market structure must occur. A break in market structure occurs when the market begins to shift direction and break the previous HH and HL or HL and LL of the market. We also integrated the feature that you can see the BOS lines. In the indicator settings you can adjust the color of the label.
Settings
SwingHigh/Low Length: Allows the user to select Historical (default) or Present, which displays only recent data on the chart.
Supply/demand box width: Allows user to change the size of the supply and demand box
History to keep: allows the user to select how many most recent supply & demand box appear on the chart.
Visual settings
Show zig zag : allow user to see market patters within the market
Show price action labels: allow user to turn on/off the (swing points)
Supply box color : allow users to change the color of their supply box
Demand box color : allow users to change the color of their supply box
Bos label color : allow users to change the color of their BOS label
Poi label color : allow user to change the color of their POI label
Price action label : allow users to change the color of their swing points labels
Zig zag color : allow users to change the color of the zig/zag market patters
Warning
Never blindly take a trade on a supply/demand box - wait for a proper market structure to occur before considering a trade.
Zig Zag+ (Macro + Internal Structure Tool)ZigZag+ (Macro + Internal Structure Tool)
ZigZag+ is a simple tool that helps traders to clearly identify and differentiate between macro and internal market structure, to help you keep your bearings of where you are currently in the overall picture.
It is especially difficult to keep your bearings within the larger structural trend when trading the lower timeframes, where for example, a bearish structural trend on a lower timeframe may simply be a retracement of an overall bullish structural trend on a higher timeframe. This indicator primarily aims to help traders maintain awareness of where they are in relationship to the higher timeframe / 'macro' structural trend, and their most significant swing point highs and lows.
The features of this indicator include:
- 2x Zig Zag lines drawn automatically onto your chart. One which has a longer length than the other, which can be used to help identify and differentiate the larger price swings from the smaller price swings found within it. Enabled by default.
- Customisable Zig Zag line color & width settings to help clearly differentiate the higher timeframe 'macro structure' apart from the lower timeframe 'internal structure' within it, enabling it to be tailored to suit your chart colour theme and personal preference.
- Customisable individual length settings for the 2x Zig Zag lines, to allow the fine tuning of each line to any timeframe and asset. By default one lines length is set to a higher value than the other, to illustrate a macro structure (higher length value) as well as the 'internal structure' (lower value length), seen within the larger macro structure.
- Up to a maximum of 500 lines can be drawn meaning you can zoom out considerably, and view historical price action with both Zig Zag lines continuing to print.
- Custom alerts for identifying candlesticks that can offer optimal entries where they are found within valid price markups or markdowns that are already underway. Further details can be found within the tooltips for these signals.
Note: The above list of features are accurate at the time of publishing, but may be updated or added to in future.
Structure
Understanding structure is arguably the foundation of all trading strategies, and therefore very important to understand where you are exactly in the bigger picture, since it can help identify levels at which there is a higher probability of price moving either upward or downward at a given point. Structural trend refers to the typical way that price tends to move in any given trending market, identified by the continuation of higher highs and higher lows in a typical bullish trending market, and lower highs and lower lows in a bearish trending market.
During other times price may not be trending in this way, for example when it is undergoing accumulation or distribution phases, where the consistent higher high & lower low / lower high and lower low patterns will not be evident.
What is Macro Structure?
Macro trend structure refers to the structural trend seen on higher timeframe charts.
What is Internal Structure?
Internal trend structure refers to the structural trend seen on lower timeframe charts, which is found within the higher timeframe structure.
Disclaimer: This indicator is adapted from an original script authored by Tr0sT . With special thanks.
TRADING MADE SIMPLEThis indicator shows market structure. The standard method of using Williams Highs and Lows as pivots, is something of an approximation.
What's original here is that we follow rules to confirm Local Highs and Local Lows, and strictly enforce that a Low can only follow a confirmed High and vice-versa.
-- Highs and Lows
To confirm a candle as a Local High, you need a later candle to Close below its Low. To confirm a Local Low, you need a Close above its High.
A Low can only follow a High (after it's been confirmed). You can't go e.g High, High, Low, Low, only High, Low, High, Low.
When price makes Higher Highs and Higher Lows, market structure is said to be bullish. When price makes Lower Lows and Lower Highs, it's bearish.
I've defined the in-between Highs and Lows as "Ranging", meaning, neutral. They could be trend continuation or reversal.
-- Bullish/Bearish Breaks
A Bullish break in market structure is when the Close of the current candle goes higher than the previous confirmed Local High.
A Bearish Break is when the Close of the current candle goes lower than the most recent confirmed Local Low.
I chose to use Close rather than High to reduce edge case weirdness. The breaking candle often ends up being a big one, thus the close of that candle can be a poor entry.
You can get live warnings by setting the alert to Options: Only Once, because during a candle, the current price is taken as the Close.
Breaks are like early warnings of a change in market bias, because you're not waiting for a High or Low to be formed and confirmed.
Buy The Dip / Sell The Rally
Buy The Dip is a label I gave to the first Higher Low in a bullish market structure. Sell The Rally is the first Lower High in a bearish market structure.
These *might* be good buying/selling opportunities, but you still need to do your own analysis to confirm that.
== USAGE ==
The point of knowing market structure is so you don't make bullish bets in a bearish market and vice versa -
or if you do at least you're aware that that's what you're doing, and hopefully have some overwhelmingly good reason to do so.
These are not signals to be traded on their own. You still need a trade thesis. Use with support & resistance and your other favourite indicators.
Works on any market on any timeframe. Be aware that market structure will be different on different timeframes.
IMPORTANT: If you're not seeing what you expect, check your settings and re-read this entire description carefully. Confirming Highs and Lows can get deceptively complex.

Bitcoin Cycle History Visualization [SwissAlgo]BTC 4-Year Cycle Tops & Bottoms
Historical visualization of Bitcoin's market cycles from 2010 to present, with projections based on weighted averages of past performance.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CALCULATION METHODOLOGY
Why Bottom-to-Bottom Cycle Measurement?
This indicator defines cycles as bottom-to-bottom periods. This is one of several valid approaches to Bitcoin cycle analysis:
- Focuses on market behavior (price bottoms) rather than supply schedule events (halving-to-halving)
- Bottoms may offer good reference points for some analytical purposes
- Tops tend to be extended periods that are harder to define precisely
- Aligns with how some traditional asset cycles are measured and the timing observed in the broader "risk-on" assets category
- Halving events are shown separately (yellow backgrounds) for reference
- Neither halving-based nor bottom-based measurement is inherently superior
Different analysts prefer different cycle definitions based on their analytical goals. This approach prioritizes observable market turning points.
Cycle Date Definitions
- Approximate monthly ranges used for each event (e.g., Nov 2022 bottom = Nov 1-30, 2022)
- Cycle 1: Jul 2010 bottom → Jun 2011 top → Nov 2011 bottom
- Cycle 2: Nov 2011 bottom → Dec 2013 top → Jan 2015 bottom
- Cycle 3: Jan 2015 bottom → Dec 2017 top → Dec 2018 bottom
- Cycle 4: Dec 2018 bottom → Nov 2021 top → Nov 2022 bottom
- Future cycles will be added as new top/bottom dates become firm
Duration Calculations
- Days = timestamp difference converted to days (milliseconds ÷ 86,400,000)
- Bottom → Top: days from cycle bottom to peak
- Top → Bottom: days from peak to next cycle bottom
- Bottom → Bottom: full cycle duration (sum of above)
Price Change Calculations
- % Change = ((New Price - Old Price) / Old Price) × 100
- Example: $200 → $19,700 = ((19,700 - 200) / 200) × 100 = 9,750% gain
- Approximate historical prices used (rounded to significant figures)
Weighted Average Formula
Recent cycles weighted more heavily to reflect the evolved market structure:
- Cycle 1 (2010-2011): EXCLUDED (too early-stage, tiny market cap)
- Cycle 2 (2011-2015): Weight = 1x
- Cycle 3 (2015-2018): Weight = 3x
- Cycle 4 (2018-2022): Weight = 5x
Formula: Weighted Avg = (C2×1 + C3×3 + C4×5) / (1+3+5)
Example for Bottom→Top days: (761×1 + 1065×3 + 1066×5) / 9 = 1,032 days
Projection Method
- Projected Top Date = Nov 2022 bottom + weighted avg Bottom→Top days
- Projected Bottom Date = Nov 2022 bottom + weighted avg Bottom→Bottom days
- Current days elapsed compared to weighted averages
- Warning symbol (⚠) shown when the current cycle exceeds the historical average
Technical Implementation
- Historical cycle dates are hardcoded (not algorithmically detected)
- Dates represent approximate monthly ranges for each event
- The indicator will be updated as the Cycle 5 top and bottom dates become confirmed
- Updates require manual code maintenance - not automatic
- Users should verify they're using the latest version for current cycle data
-----------------------------------------------------------------
FEATURES
- Background highlights for historical tops (red), bottoms (green), and halving events (yellow)
- Data table showing cycle durations and price changes
- Visual cycle boundary boxes with subtle coloring
- Projected timeframes displayed as dashed vertical lines
- Toggle on/off for each visual element
- Customizable background colors
-----------------------------------------------------------------
DISPLAY SETTINGS
- Show/hide cycle tops, bottoms, halvings, data table, and cycle boxes
- Customizable background colors for each event type
- Clean, institutional-grade visual design suitable for analysis
UPDATES & MAINTENANCE
This indicator is maintained as new cycle events occur. When Cycle 5's top and bottom are confirmed with sufficient time elapsed, the code and projections will be updated accordingly. Check for the latest version periodically.
OPEN SOURCE
Code available for review, modification, and improvement. Educational transparency is prioritized.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS
⚠ EXTREMELY SMALL SAMPLE SIZE
Based on only 4 complete cycles (2011-2022). In statistical analysis, this is insufficient for reliable predictions.
⚠ CHANGED MARKET STRUCTURE
Bitcoin's market has fundamentally evolved since early cycles:
- 2010-2015: Tiny market cap, retail-only, unregulated
- 2024-2025: Institutional adoption, spot ETFs, regulatory frameworks, macro correlation
The environment that created past patterns no longer exists in the same form.
⚠ NO PREDICTIVE GUARANTEE
Historical patterns can and do break. Market cycles are not laws of physics. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The next cycle may not follow historical averages.
⚠ LENGTHENING CYCLE THEORY
Some analysts believe cycles are extending over time (diminishing returns, maturing market). If true, simple averaging underestimates future cycle lengths.
⚠ SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY RISK
The halving narrative may be partially circular - it works because people believe it works. Sufficient changes in market structure or participant behavior can invalidate the pattern.
⚠ APPROXIMATE DATA
Historical prices rounded to significant figures. Exact bottom/top dates vary by exchange. Month-long ranges are used for simplicity.
EDUCATIONAL USE ONLY
This indicator is designed for historical analysis and understanding Bitcoin's past behavior. It is NOT:
- Trading advice or financial recommendations
- A guarantee or prediction of future price movements
- Suitable as a sole basis for investment decisions
- A replacement for fundamental or technical analysis
The projections show "what if the pattern continues exactly" - not "what will happen."
Always conduct independent research, understand the risks, and consult qualified financial advisors before making investment decisions. Only invest what you can afford to lose.
CVD Pro – Smart Overlay + Signals (with Persist Mode)What this Indicator Does
CVD Pro visualizes Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) data directly on your main price chart — helping you detect real buying vs. selling pressure in real time.
Unlike most CVD scripts that run in a separate subwindow, this one overlays price-mapped CVD curves on the candles themselves for better confluence with market structure and FVG zones.
The script dynamically scales normalized CVD values to the price range and uses adaptive smoothing and deviation bands to highlight shifts in trader behavior.
It also includes automatic bullish/bearish crossover signals, displayed as on-chart labels.
⚙️ Main Features
✅ Price-mapped CVD Overlay
CVD is normalized (Z-score) and projected onto the price chart for easy visual correlation with price structure.
✅ Multi-Timeframe Presets
Three sensitivity presets optimized for different chart environments:
Strict (4H) → Best for macro trends and high-timeframe structure.
Balanced (1H / 30m) → Great for active swing setups.
Sensitive (15m) → Captures short-term intraday reversals.
✅ Dynamic Bands & Smoothing
Deviation bands visualize statistical extremes in delta pressure — helping to identify exhaustion and divergence points.
✅ Smart Buy/Sell Signal Logic
Automatic label triggers when the CVD Overlay crosses its smoothed baseline:
🟢 BULL LONG → Rising CVD above the mean (buyers in control).
🔴 BEAR SHORT → Falling CVD below the mean (sellers in control).
✅ Persist Mode
Toggle to keep the last signal visible until a new one forms — ideal for traders who prefer clean chart annotations without noise.
✅ Clean, Minimal Overlay
Everything happens directly on your chart — no extra windows, no clutter. Designed for use with Smart Money Concepts, Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), or volume imbalance setups.
🧩 Use Case
CVD Pro is designed for traders who:
Use Smart Money Concepts (SMC) or ICT-style trading
Watch for FVG reactions, breaker blocks, and liquidity sweeps
Need to confirm order flow direction or momentum strength
Trade intraday or swing setups with precision entries and clear bias confirmation
⚡ Recommended Settings
4H / 1H: Use Strict mode for major structure and confirmation.
1H / 30m: Balanced mode for clear mid-term trend alignment.
15m: Sensitive mode to catch scalps and lower-TF shifts.
🧠 Pro Tips
Combine with RSI or Market Structure Breaks (MSS) for additional confluence.
A strong CVD divergence near a key FVG or 0.5–0.705 Fibonacci zone often signals reversal.
Persistent CVD crossover + price structure break = high-probability entry.

Would you like me to write a shorter “public summary” paragraph (for the short description at the top of TradingView, the one-liner users see before expanding)?
It’s usually a 2–3 sentence hook like:
“Overlay-based CVD indicator that merges volume delta with price structure. Detect true buying/selling pressure using adaptive normalization, deviation bands, and clean bullish/bearish crossover signals.”
Artharjan High Volume Zones v2Artharjan High Volume Zones (AHVZ)
The Artharjan High Volume Zones (AHVZ) indicator is designed to identify, highlight, and track price zones formed during exceptionally high-volume bars. These levels often act as critical support and resistance zones, revealing where institutions or large players have shown significant interest.
By combining both short-term (ST) and long-term (LT) high-volume zones, the tool enables traders to align intraday activity with broader market structures.
Core Purpose
Markets often leave behind footprints in the form of high-volume bars. The AHVZ indicator captures these footprints and projects their influence forward, allowing traders to spot zones of liquidity, accumulation, or distribution where future price reactions are likely.
Key Features
🔹 Short-Term High Volume Zones (ST-ZoI)
Identifies the highest-volume bar within a short-term lookback period (default: 22 bars).
Draws and maintains:
Upper & Lower Bounds of the high-volume candle.
Midpoint Line (M-P) as the zone’s equilibrium.
Buffer Zones above and below for intraday flexibility (percentage-based).
Highlights these zones visually for quick intraday decision-making.
🔹 Long-Term High Volume Zones (LT-ZoI)
Scans for the highest-volume bar in a long-term lookback period (default: 252 bars).
Similar plotting structure as ST-ZoI: Upper, Lower, Midpoint, and Buffers.
Useful for identifying institutional footprints and multi-week/month accumulation zones.
🔹 Dynamic Buffering
Daily/Weekly/Monthly charts: Adds a fixed percentage buffer above and below high-volume zones.
Intraday charts: Uses price-range based buffers, scaling zones more adaptively to volatility.
🔹 Visual Customization
Independent color settings for ST and LT zones, mid-range lines, and buffers.
Adjustable plot thickness for clarity across different chart styles.
How It Helps
Intraday Traders
Use ST zones to pinpoint short-term supply/demand clusters.
Trade rejections or breakouts near these high-volume footprints.
Swing/Positional Traders
Align entries with LT zones to stay on the side of institutional flows.
Spot areas where price may stall, reverse, or consolidate.
General Market Structure Analysis
Understand where volume-backed conviction exists in the chart.
Avoid trading into hidden walls of liquidity by recognizing prior high-volume zones.
Closing Note
The Artharjan High Volume Zones indicator acts as a volume map of the market, giving traders a deeper sense of where meaningful battles between buyers and sellers took place. By combining short-term noise filtering with long-term structural awareness, it empowers traders to make more informed, disciplined decisions.

Order Blocks + Order-Flow ProxiesOrder Blocks + Order-Flow Proxies
This indicator combines structural analysis of order blocks with lightweight order-flow style proxies, providing a tool for chart annotation and contextual study. It is designed to help users visualize where significant structural shifts occur and how simple volume-based signals behave around those areas. The script does not guarantee profitable outcomes, nor does it issue financial advice. It is intended purely for research, learning, and discretionary use.
Conceptual Background
Order Blocks
An “order block” is a term often used to describe a zone on the chart where price left behind a significant reversal or imbalance before continuing strongly in the opposite direction. In practice, this can mean the last bullish or bearish candle before a strong breakout. Traders sometimes study these regions because they believe that unfilled resting orders may exist there, or simply because they mark important pivots in price structure. This indicator detects such moments by scanning for breaks of structure (BOS). When price pushes above or below recent swing levels with sufficient displacement, the script identifies the prior opposite candle as the potential order block.
Break of Structure
A break of structure in this context is defined when the closing price moves beyond the highest high or lowest low of a short lookback window. The script compares the magnitude of this break to an ATR-based displacement filter. This helps ensure that only meaningful moves are marked rather than small, random fluctuations.
Order-Flow Proxies
Traditional order flow analysis may use bid/ask data, footprint charts, or volume profiles. Because TradingView scripts cannot access true order-book data, this indicator instead uses proxy signals derived from standard chart data:
Delta (proxy): Estimated imbalance of buying vs. selling pressure, approximated using bar direction and volume.
Imbalance ratio: Normalizes delta by total volume, ranging between -1 and +1 in theory.
Cumulative Delta (CVD): Running sum of delta over time.
Effort vs. Result (EvR): A comparison between volume and actual bar movement, highlighting cases where large effort produced little result (or vice versa).
These are not real order-flow measurements, but rather simple mathematical constructs that mimic some of its logic.
How the Script Works
Detecting Break of Structure
The user specifies a swing length. When price closes above the recent high (for bullish BOS) or below the recent low (for bearish BOS), a potential shift is recorded.
To qualify, the breakout must exceed a displacement filter proportional to the ATR. This helps filter out weak moves.
Locating the Order Block Candle
Once a BOS is confirmed, the script looks back within a short window to find the last opposite-colored candle.
The high/low or open/close of that candle (depending on user settings) is marked as the potential order block zone.
Drawing and Maintaining Zones
Each order block is represented as a colored rectangle extending forward in time.
Bullish zones are teal by default, bearish zones are red.
Zones extend until invalidated (price closing or wicking beyond them, depending on user preference) or until a user-defined lifespan expires.
A pruning mechanism ensures that only the most recent set number of zones remain, preventing chart overload.
Monitoring Touches
The script checks whether the current bar’s range overlaps any existing order block.
If so, the “closest” zone is considered touched, and a label may appear on the chart.
Confirmation Filters
Touches can optionally be confirmed by order-flow proxies.
For a bullish confirmation, the following must align:
Imbalance ratio above threshold,
Delta EMA positive,
Effort vs. Result positive.
For a bearish confirmation, the opposite holds true.
Optionally, a higher-timeframe EMA slope filter can gate these confirmations. For example, a bullish confirmation may only be accepted if the higher-timeframe EMA is sloping upward.
Alerts
Users may create alerts based on conditions such as “bullish touch confirmed” or “bearish touch confirmed.”
Alerts can be gated to only fire after bar close, reducing intrabar noise.
Standard alertcondition calls are provided, and optional inline alert() calls can be enabled.
Inputs and Customization
Structure & OB
Swing length: Defines how many bars back to check for BOS.
ATR length & displacement factor: Adjust sensitivity for structural breaks.
Body vs. wick reference: Choose whether zones are based on candle bodies or full ranges.
Invalidation rule: Pick between wick breach or close beyond the level.
Lifespan (bars): Limit how long a zone remains active.
Max keep: Cap the number of zones stored to reduce clutter.
Order-Flow Proxies
Delta mode: Choose between “Close vs Previous Close” or “Body” for delta calculation.
EMA length: Smooths the delta/imbalance series.
Z-score lookback: Defines the averaging window for EvR.
Confirmation thresholds: Adjust the imbalance levels required for long/short confirmation.
Higher Timeframe Filter
Enable HTF gate: Optional filter requiring higher-timeframe EMA slope alignment.
HTF timeframe & EMA length: Configurable for context alignment.
Style
Colors and transparency for bullish and bearish zones.
Border color customization.
Alerts
Enable inline alerts: Optional direct calls to alert().
Alerts on bar close only: Helps avoid multiple firings during bar formation.
Practical Use
This tool is best seen as a way to annotate charts and to study how simple volume-derived signals behave near important structural levels. Some users may:
Observe whether order blocks line up with later price reactions.
Study how imbalance or cumulative delta conditions align with these zones.
Use it in a discretionary workflow to highlight areas of interest for deeper analysis.
Because the proxies are based only on candle OHLCV data, they are approximations. They cannot replace true depth-of-market analysis. Similarly, order block detection here is one specific algorithmic interpretation; other traders may define order blocks differently.
Limitations and Disclaimers
This indicator does not predict future price movement.
It does not access real order book or tick-by-tick data. All signals are derived from bar OHLCV.
Past performance of signals or zones does not guarantee future results.
The script is for educational and informational purposes only. It is not financial advice.
Users should test thoroughly, adjust parameters to their own instruments and timeframes, and use it in combination with broader analysis.
Summary
The Order Blocks + Order-Flow Proxies script is an experimental study tool that:
Detects potential order blocks using a displacement-filtered break of structure.
Marks these zones as boxes that persist until invalidation or expiry.
Provides lightweight order-flow-style proxies such as delta, imbalance, CVD, and effort vs. result.
Allows confirmation of zone touches through these proxies and optional higher-timeframe context.
Offers flexible customization, alerting, and chart-style options.
It is not a trading system by itself but rather a framework for studying price/volume behavior around structurally significant areas. With careful exploration, it can give users new ways to visualize market structure and to understand how simple flow-like measures behave in those contexts.

Market Regime Matrix [Alpha Extract]A sophisticated market regime classification system that combines multiple technical analysis components into an intelligent scoring framework to identify and track dominant market conditions. Utilizing advanced ADX-based trend detection, EMA directional analysis, volatility assessment, and crash protection protocols, the Market Regime Matrix delivers institutional-grade regime classification with BULL, BEAR, and CHOP states. The system features intelligent scoring with smoothing algorithms, duration filters for stability, and structure-based conviction adjustments to provide traders with clear, actionable market context.
🔶 Multi-Component Regime Engine Integrates five core analytical components: ADX trend strength detection, EMA-200 directional bias, ROC momentum analysis, Bollinger Band volatility measurement, and zig-zag structure verification. Each component contributes to a sophisticated scoring system that evaluates market conditions across multiple dimensions, ensuring comprehensive regime assessment with institutional precision.
// Gate Keeper: ADX determines market type
is_trending = adx_value > adx_trend_threshold
is_ranging = adx_value <= adx_trend_threshold
is_maximum_chop = adx_value <= adx_chop_threshold
// BULL CONDITIONS with Structure Veto
if price_above_ema and di_bullish
if use_structure_filter and isBullStructure
raw_bullScore := 5.0 // MAXIMUM CONVICTION: Strong signals + Bull structure
else if use_structure_filter and not isBullStructure
raw_bullScore := 3.0 // REDUCED: Strong signals but broken structure
🔶 Intelligent Scoring System Employs a dynamic 0-5 scale scoring mechanism for each regime type (BULL/BEAR/CHOP) with adaptive conviction levels. The system automatically adjusts scores based on signal alignment, market structure confirmation, and volatility conditions. Features decision margin requirements to prevent false regime changes and includes maximum conviction thresholds for high-probability setups.
🔶 Advanced Structure Filter Implements zig-zag based market structure analysis using configurable deviation thresholds to identify significant pivot points. The system tracks Higher Highs/Higher Lows (HH/HL) for bullish structure and Lower Lows/Lower Highs (LL/LH) for bearish structure, applying structure veto logic that reduces conviction when price action contradicts the underlying trend framework.
// Define Market Structure (Bull = HH/HL, Bear = LL/LH)
isBullStructure = not na(last_significant_high) and not na(prev_significant_high) and
not na(last_significant_low) and not na(prev_significant_low) and
last_significant_high > prev_significant_high and last_significant_low > prev_significant_low
isBearStructure = not na(last_significant_high) and not na(prev_significant_high) and
not na(last_significant_low) and not na(prev_significant_low) and
last_significant_low < prev_significant_low and last_significant_high < prev_significant_high
🔶 Superior Engine Components Features dual-layer regime stabilization through score smoothing and duration filtering. The score smoothing component reduces noise by averaging raw scores over configurable periods, while the duration filter requires minimum regime persistence before confirming changes. This eliminates whipsaws and ensures regime transitions represent genuine market shifts rather than temporary fluctuations.
🔶 Crash Detection & Active Penalties Incorporates sophisticated crash detection using Rate of Change (ROC) analysis with severity classification. When crash conditions are detected, the system applies active penalties (-5.0) to BULL and CHOP scores while boosting BEAR conviction based on crash severity. This ensures immediate regime response to major market dislocations and drawdown events.
// === CRASH OVERRIDE (Active Penalties) ===
is_crash = roc_value < crash_threshold
if is_crash
// Calculate crash severity
crash_severity = math.abs(roc_value / crash_threshold)
crash_bonus = 4.0 + (crash_severity - 1.0) * 2.0
// ACTIVE PENALTIES: Force bear dominance
raw_bearScore := math.max(raw_bearScore, crash_bonus)
raw_bullScore := -5.0 // ACTIVE PENALTY
raw_chopScore := -5.0 // ACTIVE PENALTY
❓How It Works
🔶 ADX-Based Market Classification The Market Regime Matrix uses ADX (Average Directional Index) as the primary gatekeeper to distinguish between trending and ranging market conditions. When ADX exceeds the trend threshold, the system activates BULL/BEAR regime logic using DI+/DI- crossovers and EMA positioning. When ADX falls below the ranging threshold, CHOP regime logic takes precedence, with maximum conviction assigned during ultra-low ADX periods.
🔶 Dynamic Conviction Scaling Each regime receives conviction ratings from UNCERTAIN to MAXIMUM based on signal alignment and score magnitude. MAXIMUM conviction (5.0 score) requires perfect signal alignment plus favorable market structure. The system progressively reduces conviction when signals conflict or structure breaks, ensuring traders understand the reliability of each regime classification.
🔶 Regime Transition Management Implements decision margin requirements where new regimes must exceed existing regimes by configurable thresholds before transitions occur. Combined with duration filtering, this prevents premature regime changes and maintains stability during consolidation periods. The system tracks both raw regime signals and final regime output for complete transparency.
🔶 Visual Regime Mapping Provides comprehensive visual feedback through colored candle overlays, background regime highlighting, and real-time information tables. The system displays regime history, conviction levels, structure status, and key metrics in an organized dashboard format. Regime changes trigger immediate visual alerts with detailed transition information.
🔶 Performance Optimization Features efficient array management for zig-zag calculations, smart variable updating to prevent recomputation, and configurable debug modes for strategy development. The system maintains optimal performance across all timeframes while providing institutional-grade analytical depth.
Why Choose Market Regime Matrix ?
The Market Regime Matrix represents the evolution of market regime analysis, combining traditional technical indicators with modern algorithmic decision-making frameworks. By integrating multiple analytical dimensions with intelligent scoring, structure verification, and crash protection, it provides traders with institutional-quality market context that adapts to changing conditions. The sophisticated filtering system eliminates noise while preserving responsiveness, making it an essential tool for traders seeking to align their strategies with dominant market regimes and avoid adverse market environments.
Fractal Support and Resistance [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Fractal Support and Resistance indicator automatically identifies high-probability support and resistance zones based on repeated fractal touches. When a defined number of fractal highs or lows cluster around the same price zone, the indicator plots a clean horizontal level and shaded zone, helping traders visualize structurally important areas where price may react.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Fractal Points: Swing highs and lows based on user-defined left and right range (length). A valid fractal forms only when the center candle is higher or lower than its neighbors.
Zone Validation: A level is only confirmed when the price has printed the specified number of fractals (e.g., 3) within a narrow ATR-defined range.
Dynamic Zone Calculation: The plotted level can be based on the average of clustered fractals or on the extreme value (min or max), depending on the user’s choice.
Support/Resistance Zones: Once a zone is validated, a horizontal line and shaded box are drawn and automatically extended into the future until new valid clusters form.
Auto-Clean & Reactivity: Each zone persists until replaced by a new fractal cluster, ensuring the chart remains uncluttered and adaptive.
🔵 FEATURES
Detects swing fractals using adjustable left/right range.
Confirms zones when a defined number of fractals occur near the same price.
Plots horizontal level and shaded box for visual clarity.
Choice between average or min/max logic for level calculation.
Distinct color inputs for support (green) and resistance (orange) zones.
Adaptive auto-extension keeps valid zones projected into the future.
Displays optional triangle markers above/below bars where fractals form.
Clean design optimized for structural S/R analysis.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use support zones (from low fractals) to look for potential long entries or bounce points .
Use resistance zones (from high fractals) to look for short setups or rejections .
Adjust the Fractals Qty to make zones more or less strict—e.g., 3 for higher reliability, 2 for quicker responsiveness.
Combine with liquidity indicators or break/retest logic to validate zone strength.
Toggle between average and min/max mode to fit your style (average for balance, extremes for aggression).
🔵 CONCLUSION
Fractal Support and Resistance offers a robust way to identify hidden levels that the market respects repeatedly. By requiring multiple fractal confirmations within a zone, it filters out noise and highlights clean structural areas of interest. This tool is ideal for traders who want automatic, adaptive, and reliable S/R levels grounded in raw market structure.
Support & Resistance External/Internal & BoS [sgbpulse]Market Structure Support & Resistance External/Internal & BoS
Overview: Smart & Fast Market Structure Analysis
The Market Structure "Support & Resistance External/Internal & BoS " indicator is designed to empower your technical analysis by automatically and precisely identifying significant support and resistance levels. It achieves this by pinpointing high and low Pivot Points, plus key Pre-Market High/Low levels.
Its unique strength lies in its dynamic adaptability to any timeframe and any asset you choose. This tool analyzes the relevant market structure for the current timeframe and asset, providing you with accurate and relevant levels in real-time. The indicator maintains a clean chart and swiftly displays all support, resistance, and Pre-Market levels for any asset, saving valuable analysis time and enabling you to get a clear and quick snapshot of the market.
How the Indicator Works
The indicator identifies and displays three critical types of key levels:
External Pivots: These are more significant pivot points, indicating important reversal points across a broader range of price movement, considering the current timeframe. The indicator draws dark green support lines (for low pivots) and dark red resistance lines (for high pivots) from these points.
Internal Pivots: These are shorter-term pivot points, signifying smaller corrections or reversals within the overall structure of the current timeframe. These lines provide additional areas of interest within the ranges of the External Pivots.
Pre-Market High/Low Levels: The indicator displays the High and Low reached during pre-market hours as distinct lines on the chart. Please note: These levels will only appear when the selected timeframe is lower than one day (e.g., 1-hour, 15-minute) and provided that the "Session extended trading hours" option is enabled in your TradingView chart settings. These levels are crucial for identifying potential opening ranges and critical support/resistance areas upon regular market open, especially for intraday trading.
Break of Structure (BoS) Identification
A key feature of this indicator is its ability to identify Break of Structure (BoS). When a support or resistance line is breached, the indicator changes the line's color to gray and displays a "Break of Structure" label, indicating a potential trend change or continuation:
External BoS: When an external support/resistance line is broken, a "BoS" label in red will appear. This is a strong signal for a potential shift in the primary market structure or a strong trend continuation.
Internal BoS: When an internal support/resistance line is broken, an "iBoS" label in green will appear. This indicates a break within the existing market structure, which can be used to confirm direction or identify shorter-term entry/exit opportunities.
Full Indicator Customization
The indicator provides maximum flexibility to suit any trading style and timeframe:
Number of Lines Displayed: You can choose how many support and resistance lines you want to see on your chart. The default is 15 lines, but you can increase or decrease this number according to your needs and desired level of detail.
External Pivot Settings: Define the number of bars before and after a pivot point required for External Pivot identification.
Internal Pivot Settings: Define the number of bars before and after a pivot point required for Internal Pivot identification.
Color Customization: Full control over colors! You can change the colors of the support and resistance lines, the colors of the Pre-Market levels, and also the colors of the BoS and iBoS labels to create a visual appearance that perfectly matches your personal preferences.
This flexibility allows you to adapt the indicator to your trading style and any timeframe you operate in, without needing to manually change settings each time.
Recommended Uses
Clean Chart & Quick Analysis: The indicator displays important levels clearly, enabling quick identification of areas of interest without visual clutter on the chart. This significantly saves analysis time and allows you to make faster decisions.
Critical Levels for Any Timeframe & Asset: Get precise and adaptive support and resistance, plus essential Pre-Market levels (in relevant timeframes), for any timeframe and on any asset you choose.
Trend Direction Identification: Clear support and resistance lines help understand market structure.
Breakout Confirmation: The BoS label provides visual confirmation of key level breaches, helping to confirm potential trend changes.
Locating Entry & Exit Points: Use these levels as potential areas of interest for trades, after confirming a breakout or reversal.
Finding Stop-Loss & Take-Profit Points: Strategically place protective stops and profit targets around these support and resistance levels.
Important Note
Like any technical indicator, Market Structure "Support & Resistance External/Internal & BoS " is a supplementary tool. It's highly recommended to use it in conjunction with additional analysis methods (such as price action analysis, other indicators, and fundamental analysis) for informed trading decisions. Financial markets are dynamic, and trading always carries inherent risk.

ICT Master Suite [Trading IQ]Hello Traders!
We’re excited to introduce the ICT Master Suite by TradingIQ, a new tool designed to bring together several ICT concepts and strategies in one place.
The Purpose Behind the ICT Master Suite
There are a few challenges traders often face when using ICT-related indicators:
Many available indicators focus on one or two ICT methods, which can limit traders who apply a broader range of ICT related techniques on their charts.
There aren't many indicators for ICT strategy models, and we couldn't find ICT indicators that allow for testing the strategy models and setting alerts.
Many ICT related concepts exist in the public domain as indicators, not strategies! This makes it difficult to verify that the ICT concept has some utility in the market you're trading and if it's worth trading - it's difficult to know if it's working!
Some users might not have enough chart space to apply numerous ICT related indicators, which can be restrictive for those wanting to use multiple ICT techniques simultaneously.
The ICT Master Suite is designed to offer a comprehensive option for traders who want to apply a variety of ICT methods. By combining several ICT techniques and strategy models into one indicator, it helps users maximize their chart space while accessing multiple tools in a single slot.
Additionally, the ICT Master Suite was developed as a strategy . This means users can backtest various ICT strategy models - including deep backtesting. A primary goal of this indicator is to let traders decide for themselves what markets to trade ICT concepts in and give them the capability to figure out if the strategy models are worth trading!
What Makes the ICT Master Suite Different
There are many ICT-related indicators available on TradingView, each offering valuable insights. What the ICT Master Suite aims to do is bring together a wider selection of these techniques into one tool. This includes both key ICT methods and strategy models, allowing traders to test and activate strategies all within one indicator.
Features
The ICT Master Suite offers:
Multiple ICT strategy models, including the 2022 Strategy Model and Unicorn Model, which can be built, tested, and used for live trading.

How To Use
Many traders will already be familiar with the ICT related concepts listed above, and will find using the ICT Master Suite quite intuitive!
Despite this, let's go over the features of the tool in-depth and how to use the tool!
The image above shows the ICT Master Suite with almost all techniques activated.
ICT 2022 Strategy Model
The ICT Master suite provides the ability to test, set alerts for, and live trade the ICT 2022 Strategy Model.
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the 2022 ICT model.
A liquidity sweep occurs prior to an upside breakout. During the upside breakout the model looks for the FVG that is nearest 50% of the setup range. A limit order is placed at this FVG for entry.
The target entry percentage for the range is customizable in the settings. For instance, you can select to enter at an FVG nearest 33% of the range, 20%, 66%, etc.
The profit target for the model generally uses the highest high of the range (100%) for longs and the lowest low of the range (100%) for shorts. Stop losses are generally set at 0% of the range.
The image above shows the short model in action!
Whether you decide to follow the 2022 model diligently or not, you can still set alerts when the entry condition is met.
ICT Unicorn Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the ICT Unicorn model.
A lower swing low followed by a higher swing high precedes the overlap of an FVG and breaker block formed during the sequence.
During the upside breakout the model looks for an FVG and breaker block that formed during the sequence and overlap each other. A limit order is placed at the nearest overlap point to current price.
The profit target for this example trade is set at the swing high and the stop loss at the swing low. However, both the profit target and stop loss for this model are configurable in the settings.
For Longs, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing High
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
For Longs, the selectable stop losses are:
Swing Low
Bottom of FVG or breaker block
The image above shows the short version of the Unicorn Model in action!
For Shorts, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing Low
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
For Shorts, the selectable stop losses are:
Swing High
Top of FVG or breaker block
The image above shows the profit target and stop loss options in the settings for the Unicorn Model.
Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the OTE model.
Price retraces either 0.62, 0.705, or 0.79 of an upside move and a trade is entered.
The profit target for this example trade is set at the -0.5 fib level. This is also adjustable in the settings.
For Longs, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing High
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
The image above shows the short version of the OTE Model in action!
For Shorts, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing Low
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
Liquidity Raid Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the Liquidity Raid Modell.
The user must define the session in the settings (for this example it is 13:30-16:00 NY time).
During the session, the indicator will calculate the session high and session low. Following a “raid” of either the session high or session low (after the session has completed) the script will look for an entry at a recently formed breaker block.
If the session high is raided the script will look for short entries at a bearish breaker block. If the session low is raided the script will look for long entries at a bullish breaker block.
For Longs, the profit target options are:
Swing high
User inputted Lib level
For Longs, the stop loss options are:
Swing low
User inputted Lib level
Breaker block bottom
The image above shows the short version of the Liquidity Raid Model in action!
For Shorts, the profit target options are:
Swing Low
User inputted Lib level
For Shorts, the stop loss options are:
Swing High
User inputted Lib level
Breaker block top
Silver Bullet Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the Silver Bullet Modell.
During the session, the indicator will determine the higher timeframe bias. If the higher timeframe bias is bullish the strategy will look to enter long at an FVG that forms during the session. If the higher timeframe bias is bearish the indicator will look to enter short at an FVG that forms during the session.
For Longs, the profit target options are:
Nearest Swing High Above Entry
Previous Day High
For Longs, the stop loss options are:
Nearest Swing Low
Previous Day Low
The image above shows the short version of the Silver Bullet Model in action!
For Shorts, the profit target options are:
Nearest Swing Low Below Entry

Strategy Performance Table
In addition to a full-fledged TradingView backtest for any of the ICT strategy models the indicator offers, a quick-and-easy strategy table exists for the indicator!
The image above shows the strategy performance table in action.
Keep in mind that, because the ICT Master Suite is a strategy script, you can perform fully automatic backtests, deep backtests, easily add commission and portfolio balance and look at pertinent metrics for the ICT strategies you are testing!
Lite Mode
Traders who want the cleanest chart possible can toggle on “Lite Mode”!
In Lite Mode, any neon or “glow” like effects are removed and key levels are marked as strict border boxes. You can also select to remove box borders if that’s what you prefer!
Settings Used For Backtest
For the displayed backtest, a starting balance of $1000 USD was used. A commission of 0.02%, slippage of 2 ticks, a verify price for limit orders of 2 ticks, and 5% of capital investment per order.
A commission of 0.02% was used due to the backtested asset being a perpetual future contract for a crypto currency. The highest commission (lowest-tier VIP) for maker orders on many exchanges is 0.02%. All entered positions take place as maker orders and so do profit target exits. Stop orders exist as stop-market orders.
A slippage of 2 ticks was used to simulate more realistic stop-market orders. A verify limit order settings of 2 ticks was also used. Even though BTCUSDT.P on Binance is liquid, we just want the backtest to be on the safe side. Additionally, the backtest traded 100+ trades over the period. The higher the sample size the better; however, this example test can serve as a starting point for traders interested in ICT concepts.
Community Assistance And Feedback
Given the complexity and idiosyncratic applications of ICT concepts amongst its proponents, the ICT Master Suite’s built-in strategies and level identification methods might not align with everyone's interpretation.
That said, the best we can do is precisely define ICT strategy rules and concepts to a repeatable process, test, and apply them! Whether or not an ICT strategy is trading precisely how you would trade it, seeing the model in action, taking trades, and with performance statistics is immensely helpful in assessing predictive utility.
If you think we missed something, you notice a bug, have an idea for strategy model improvement, please let us know! The ICT Master Suite is an ongoing project that will, ideally, be shaped by the community.
A big thank you to the @PineCoders for their Time Library!
Thank you!
Engulfing with Fibonacci LevelsIndicator Explanation
The indicator identifies bullish and bearish engulfing patterns and plots Fibonacci levels based on these patterns. Here's a detailed explanation of the script:
1. Bullish Engulfing Pattern
A bullish engulfing pattern is identified when:
- The previous candle is bearish (`close < open `).
- The current candle is bullish (`close > open`).
- The low of the current candle is lower than the low of the previous candle (`low < low `).
- The current candle's close is higher than the previous candle's open (`close > open `).
When a bullish engulfing pattern is identified:
- Fibonacci levels are plotted from the low (0%) to the high (100%) of the bullish candle.
- A green dot is plotted below the bullish candle to indicate a buy signal.
2. Bearish Engulfing Pattern
A bearish engulfing pattern is identified when:
- The previous candle is bullish (`close > open `).
- The current candle is bearish (`close < open`).
- The high of the current candle is higher than the high of the previous candle (`high > high `).
- The current candle's close is lower than the previous candle's open (`close < open `).
When a bearish engulfing pattern is identified:
- Fibonacci levels are plotted from the high (0%) to the low (100%) of the bearish candle.
- A red dot is plotted above the bearish candle to indicate a sell signal.
3. Plotting Fibonacci Levels
For both bullish and bearish patterns, Fibonacci levels are plotted at:
- 0% (high for bullish, low for bearish)
- 50%
- 61.8%
- 79%
- 100% (low for bullish, high for bearish)
Smart Money Concept (SMC) Explanation
Bearish Signal
In the context of Smart Money Concepts (SMC), a bearish engulfing pattern can indicate:
- **Buy Side Liquidity Grab**: The high of the current bearish candle goes above the high of the previous bullish candle, potentially grabbing buy-side liquidity (stop losses of short positions or buy stops).
- **Break of Structure (BoS)**: The close of the bearish candle below the open of the previous bullish candle indicates a shift in market structure.
After identifying this bearish engulfing pattern, a smart money trader might:
1. Wait for the market to retrace 50% of the bearish candle.
2. Enter a sell trade around the 50% retracement level, anticipating a continuation of the downward move.
#### Bullish Signal
Similarly, a bullish engulfing pattern can indicate:
- **Sell Side Liquidity Grab**: The low of the current bullish candle goes below the low of the previous bearish candle, potentially grabbing sell-side liquidity (stop losses of long positions or sell stops).
- **Break of Structure (BoS)**: The close of the bullish candle above the open of the previous bearish candle indicates a shift in market structure.
After identifying this bullish engulfing pattern, a smart money trader might:
1. Wait for the market to retrace 50% of the bullish candle.
2. Enter a buy trade around the 50% retracement level, anticipating a continuation of the upward move.
The indicator helps traders identify key engulfing patterns that align with smart money concepts of liquidity grabs and breaks of structure. By plotting Fibonacci levels, it visually aids traders in waiting for optimal retracement levels (50%) to enter trades in the direction of the anticipated move. This approach leverages the idea that significant market participants often seek liquidity and cause structural shifts, providing entry opportunities for informed traders.
Color Agreement Aggregate (CAA)This indicator helps finding patterns within market structure in a highly intuitive manner.
It does this by painting a picture instead of presenting numerical values.
It greatly reduces noise in trend/structure analysis.
----- HOW TO USE IT -----
1) Zoom out of chart to get a clearer picture of overall color patterns.
2) Consider areas of intense reds and greens as areas of interest.
3) There is always a pattern of intense reds followed by intense greens. Consider this pattern as the start of a new cycle.
4) Key spikes and dips are shown when all 3 bands are matching of intense colors.
5) Turn on Precision in the Style tab to get more information on decisive spikes in price (See "Precision" below).
Reach (top band):
This is the fast and more volatile movement of the market. It shows the direction in which the recent price action is reaching towards.
Energy (middle band):
This is the medium speed of market movement. It shows the energy of the Reach and how influential it is to market change.
Frequent and intense change of color in this band can be a precursor of change within the Basis.
Basis (bottom band):
This is the slower, broader movement of the market. It is the basis on which the Reach and Energy sit on.
Intense colors in this band show major changes in price levels and market structure.
Precision:
Precision shows the weaker levels of colors. It does this by making bars in a band half its size.
For example, if there is a light green bar that is half, it means that the current bar is on the weaker level of the light green level.
Precision helps in identifying where there are influential moves in price action. Note, there will never be a half-sized bar in the highest and lowest levels.
This is because these levels are the limits and don't have a weaker half.
See notes in chart for more information. Note, you can turn off the labels in the Style tab.
----- HOW THIS INDICATOR IS ORIGINAL; WHAT IT DOES AND HOW IT DOES IT -----
This indicator has an original, unique ability to paint the overall market structure in a highly intuitive manner. It "paints" an image instead of showing numbers.
It does this by color-coding different levels of varying speeds of market movement. It then presents these levels as simple bars.
Finally, it stacks them all and creates an overall image of clear breaks and/or repeats within market structure.
This greatly reduces noise in pattern finding, finding breaks in market structure, and in confirming repeated patterns.
----- VERSION -----
The only significant information from this indicator are the colors themselves and the patterns, agreement, and aggregate of the colors.
This indicator does not provide any numerical information of the underlying, mathematical calculations.
The levels for the Reach are made by the KPAM; for the Energy, the CCI; and for the Basis, the RSI.
However, this indicator is not a variant, replacement, or presentation of the KPAM, CCI, or the RSI in any way, shape, or form -- this indicator does not present itself as such.
The 3 indicators are only useful to this indicator in as much as they are what the colors are derived from -- nothing more.
They are needed in order to obtain, visualize, and create the overall aggregate and agreement of colors.
Thus, the KPAM, CCI, and RSI cannot be adjust nor are they plotted. They are not, in any way, a focus of this indicator.
Fib OscillatorWhat is Fib Oscillator and How to Use it?
🔶 1. Conceptual Overview
The Fib Oscillator is a Fibonacci-based relative position oscillator.
Instead of measuring momentum (like RSI or MACD), it measures where price currently sits between the recent swing high and swing low, expressed as a percentage within the Fibonacci range.
In other words:
It answers: “Where is price right now within its most recent dynamic range?”
It visualizes retracement and extension zones numerically, providing continuous feedback between 0% and 100% (and beyond if extended).
🔶 2. What the Script Does
The indicator:
Automatically detects recent high and low levels using an adaptive lookback window, which depends on ATR volatility.
Calculates the current price’s position between those levels as a percentage (0–100).
Plots that percentage as an oscillator — showing visually whether price is near the top, middle, or bottom of its recent range.
Overlays Fibonacci retracement levels (23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6%) as reference zones.
Generates alerts when the oscillator crosses key Fib thresholds — which can signal retracement completion, breakout potential, or pullback exhaustion.
🔶 3. Technical Flow Breakdown
(a) Inputs
Input Description Default Notes
atrLength ATR period used for volatility estimation 14 Used to dynamically tune lookback sensitivity
minLookback Minimum lookback window (candles) 20 Ensures stability even in low volatility
maxLookback Maximum lookback window 100 Limits over-expansion during high volatility
isInverse Inverts chart orientation false Useful for inverse markets (e.g. shorts or inverse BTC view)
(b) Volatility-Adaptive Lookback
Instead of using a fixed lookback, it calculates:
lookback
=
SMA(ATR,10)
/
SMA(Close,10)
×
500
lookback=SMA(ATR,10)/SMA(Close,10)×500
Then it clamps this between minLookback and maxLookback.
This makes the oscillator:
More reactive during high volatility (shorter lookback)
More stable during calm markets (longer lookback)
Essentially, it self-adjusts to market rhythm — you don’t have to constantly tweak lookback manually.
(c) High-Low Reference Points
It takes the highest and lowest points within the dynamic lookback window.
If isInverse = true, it flips the candle logic (useful if viewing inverse instruments like stablecoin pairs or when analyzing bearish setups invertedly).
(d) Oscillator Core
The main oscillator line:
osc
=
(
close
−
low
)
(
high
−
low
)
×
100
osc=
(high−low)
(close−low)
×100
0% = Price is at the lookback low.
100% = Price is at the lookback high.
50% = Midpoint (balanced).
Between Fibonacci percentages (23.6%, 38.2%, 61.8%, etc.), the oscillator indicates retracement stages.
(e) Fibonacci Levels as Reference
It overlays horizontal reference lines at:
0%, 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6%, 100%
These act as support/resistance bands in oscillator space.
You can read it similar to how traders use Fibonacci retracements on charts, but compressed into a single line oscillator.
(f) Alerts
The script includes built-in alert conditions for crossovers at each major Fibonacci level.
You can set TradingView alerts such as:
“Oscillator crossed above 61.8%” → possible bullish continuation or breakout.
“Oscillator crossed below 38.2%” → possible pullback or correction starting.
This allows automated monitoring of fib retracement completions without manually drawing fib levels.
🔶 4. How to Use It
🔸 Visual Interpretation
Oscillator Value Zone Market Context
0–23.6% Deep Retracement Potential exhaustion of a down-move / early reversal
23.6–38.2% Shallow retracement zone Possible continuation phase
38.2–50% Mid retracement Neutral or indecisive structure
50–61.8% Key pivot region Common trend resumption zone
61.8–78.6% Late retracement Often “last pullback” area
78.6–100% Near high range Possible overextension / profit-taking
>100% Range breakout New leg formation / expansion
🔸 Practical Application Steps
Load the indicator on your chart (set overlay = false, so it’s below the main price chart).
Observe oscillator position relative to fib bands:
Use it to determine retracement depth.
Combine with structure tools:
Trend lines, swing points, or HTF market structure.
Use crossovers for timing:
Crossing above 61.8% in an uptrend often confirms breakout continuation.
Crossing below 38.2% in a downtrend signals renewed downside momentum.
For range markets, oscillator swings between 23.6% and 78.6% can define accumulation/distribution boundaries.
🔶 5. When to Use It
During Retracements: To gauge how deep the pullback has gone.
During Range Markets: To identify relative overbought/oversold positions.
Before Breakouts: Crossovers of 61.8% or 78.6% often precede impulsive moves.
In Multi-Timeframe Contexts:
LTF (15M–1H): Detect intraday retracement exhaustion.
HTF (4H–1D): Confirm major range expansions or key reversal zones.
🔶 6. Ideal Companion Indicators
The Fib Oscillator works best when contextualized with structure, volatility, and trend bias indicators.
Below are optimal pairings:
Companion Indicator Purpose Integration Insight
Market Structure MTF Tool Identify active trend direction Use Fib Oscillator only in trend direction for cleaner signals
EMA Ribbon / Supertrend Trend confirmation Align oscillator crossovers with EMA bias
ATR Bands / Volatility Envelope Validate breakout strength If oscillator >78.6% & ATR rising → valid breakout
Volume Oscillator Confirm retracement strength Volume contraction + oscillator under 38.2% → potential reversal
HTF Fib Retracement Tool Combine LTF oscillator with HTF fib confluence Powerful multi-timeframe setups
RSI or Stochastic Measure momentum relative to position RSI divergence while oscillator near 78.6% → exhaustion clue
🔶 7. Understanding the Settings
Setting Function Practical Impact
ATR Period (14) Controls volatility sampling Higher = smoother lookback adaptation
Min Lookback (20) Smallest window allowed Lower = more reactive but noisier
Max Lookback (100) Largest window allowed Higher = smoother but slower to react
Inverse Candle Chart Flips oscillator vertically Useful when analyzing bearish or inverse scenarios (e.g. short-side fib mapping)
Recommended Configs:
For scalping/intraday: ATR 10–14, lookback 20–50
For swing/position trading: ATR 14–21, lookback 50–100
🔶 8. Example Trade Logic (Practical Use)
Scenario: Uptrend on 4H chart
Oscillator drops to below 38.2% → retracement zone
Price consolidates → oscillator stabilizes
Oscillator crosses above 50% → pullback ending
Entry: Long when oscillator crosses above 61.8%
Exit: Near 78.6–100% zone or upon divergence with RSI
For Short Bias (Inverse Setup):
Enable isInverse = true to visually flip the oscillator (so lows become highs).
Use the same thresholds inversely.
🔶 9. Strengths & Limitations
✅ Strengths
Dynamic, self-adapting to volatility
Quantifies Fib retracement as a continuous function
Compact oscillator view (no clutter on chart)
Works well across all timeframes
Compatible with both trending and ranging markets
⚠️ Limitations
Doesn’t define trend direction — must be used with structure filters
Can whipsaw during choppy consolidations
The “lookback auto-adjust” may lag in sudden volatility shifts
Shouldn’t be used standalone for entries without structural confluence
🔶 10. Summary
The “Fib Oscillator” is a dynamic Fibonacci-relative positioning tool that merges retracement theory with adaptive volatility logic.
It gives traders an intuitive, quantified view of where price sits within its recent fib range, allowing anticipation of pullbacks, reversals, or breakout momentum.
Think of it as a "Fibonacci RSI", but instead of momentum strength, it shows positional depth — the vibrational location of price within its natural swing cycle.
