Delta Spike Detector [GSK-VIZAG-AP-INDIA]📌 Delta Spike Detector – Volume Imbalance Ratio
By GSK-VIZAG-AP-INDIA
📘 Overview
This indicator highlights aggressive buying or selling activity by analyzing the imbalance between estimated Buy and Sell volume per candle. It flags moments when one side dominates the other significantly — defined by user-selectable volume ratio thresholds (10x, 15x, 20x, 25x).
📊 How It Works
Buy/Sell Volume Estimation
Approximates buyer and seller participation using candle structure:
Buy Volume = Proximity of close to low
Sell Volume = Proximity of close to high
Delta & Delta Ratio
Delta = Buy Volume − Sell Volume
Delta Ratio = Ratio of dominant volume side to the weaker side
When this ratio exceeds a threshold, it’s classified as a spike.
Spike Labels
Labels are plotted on the chart:
10x B, 15x B, 20x B, 25x B → Buy Spike Labels (below candles)
10x S, 15x S, 20x S, 25x S → Sell Spike Labels (above candles)
The color of each label reflects the spike strength.
⚙️ User Inputs
Enable/Disable Buy or Sell Spikes
Set custom delta ratio thresholds (default: 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x)
🎯 Use Cases
Spotting sudden aggressive activity (e.g. smart money moves, traps, breakouts)
Identifying short-term market exhaustion or momentum bursts
Complementing other trend or volume-based tools
⚠️ Important Notes
The script uses approximated Buy/Sell Volume based on price position, not actual order flow.
This is not a buy/sell signal generator. It should be used in context with other confirmation indicators or market structure.

Alpha - Combined BreakoutThis Pine Script indicator, "Alpha - Combined Breakout," is a combination between Smart Money Breakout Signals and UT Bot Alert, The UT Bot Alert indicator was initially developer by Yo_adriiiiaan
The idea of original code belongs HPotter.
This Indicator helps you identify potential trading opportunities by combining two distinct strategies: Smart Money Breakout and a modified UT Bot (likely a variation of the Ultimate Trend Bot). It provides visual signals, draws lines for potential take profit (TP) and stop loss (SL) levels, and includes a dashboard to track performance metrics.
Tutorial:
Understanding and Using the "Alpha - Combined Breakout" Indicator
This indicator is designed for traders looking for confirmation of market direction and potential entry/exit points by blending structural analysis with a trend-following oscillator.
How it Works (General Concept)
The indicator combines two main components:
Smart Money Breakout: This part identifies significant breaks in market structure, which "smart money" traders often use to gauge shifts in supply and demand. It looks for higher highs/lows or lower highs/lows and flags when these structural points are broken.
UT Bot: This is a trend-following component that generates buy and sell signals based on price action relative to an Average True Range (ATR) based trailing stop.
You can choose to use these signals independently or combined to generate trading alerts and visual cues on your chart. The dashboard provides a quick overview of how well the signals are performing based on your chosen settings and display mode.
Parameters and What They Do
Let's break down each input parameter:
1. Smart Money Inputs
These settings control how the indicator identifies market structure and breakouts.
swingSize (Market Structure Time-Horizon):
What it does: This integer value defines the number of candles used to identify significant "swing" (pivot) points—highs and lows.
Effect: A larger swingSize creates a smoother market structure, focusing on longer-term trends. This means signals might appear less frequently and with some delay but could be more reliable for higher timeframes or broader market movements. A smaller swingSize will pick up more minor market structure changes, leading to more frequent but potentially noisier signals, suitable for lower timeframes or scalping.
Analogy: Think of it like a zoom level on your market structure map. Higher values zoom out, showing only major mountain ranges. Lower values zoom in, showing every hill and bump.
bosConfType (BOS Confirmation Type):
What it does: This string input determines how a Break of Structure (BOS) is confirmed. You have two options:
'Candle Close': A breakout is confirmed only if a candle's closing price surpasses the previous swing high (for bullish) or swing low (for bearish).
'Wicks': A breakout is confirmed if any part of the candle (including its wick) surpasses the previous swing high or low.
Effect: 'Candle Close' provides stronger, more conservative confirmation, as it implies sustained price movement beyond the structure. 'Wicks' provides earlier, more aggressive signals, as it captures momentary breaches of the structure.
Analogy: Imagine a wall. 'Candle Close' means the whole person must get over the wall. 'Wicks' means even a finger touching over the top counts as a breach.
choch (Show CHoCH):
What it does: A boolean (true/false) input to enable or disable the display of "Change of Character" (CHoCH) labels. CHoCH indicates the first structural break against the current dominant trend.
Effect: When true, it helps identify early signs of a potential trend reversal, as it marks where the market's "character" (its tendency to make higher highs/lows or lower lows/highs) first changes.
BULL (Bullish Color) & BEAR (Bearish Color):
What they do: These color inputs allow you to customize the visual appearance of bullish and bearish signals and lines drawn by the Smart Money component.
Effect: Purely cosmetic, helps with visual identification on the chart.
sm_tp_sl_multiplier (SM TP/SL Multiplier (ATR)):
What it does: A float value that acts as a multiplier for the Average True Range (ATR) to calculate the Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) levels specifically when you're in "Smart Money Only" mode. It uses the ATR calculated by the UT Bot's nLoss_ut as its base.
Effect: A higher multiplier creates wider TP/SL levels, potentially leading to fewer trades but larger wins/losses. A lower multiplier creates tighter TP/SL levels, potentially leading to more frequent but smaller wins/losses.
2. UT Bot Alerts Inputs
These parameters control the behavior and sensitivity of the UT Bot component.
a_ut (UT Key Value (Sensitivity)):
What it does: This integer value adjusts the sensitivity of the UT Bot.
Effect: A higher value makes the UT Bot less sensitive to price fluctuations, resulting in fewer and potentially more reliable signals. A lower value makes it more sensitive, generating more signals, which can include more false signals.
Analogy: Like a noise filter. Higher values filter out more noise, keeping only strong signals.
c_ut (UT ATR Period):
What it does: This integer sets the look-back period for the Average True Range (ATR) calculation used by the UT Bot. ATR measures market volatility.
Effect: This period directly influences the calculation of the nLoss_ut (which is a_ut * xATR_ut), thus defining the distance of the trailing stop loss and take profit levels. A longer period makes the ATR smoother and less reactive to sudden price spikes. A shorter period makes it more responsive.
h_ut (UT Signals from Heikin Ashi Candles):
What it does: A boolean (true/false) input to determine if the UT Bot calculations should use standard candlestick data or Heikin Ashi candlestick data.
Effect: Heikin Ashi candles smooth out price action, often making trends clearer and reducing noise. Using them for UT Bot signals can lead to smoother, potentially delayed signals that stay with a trend longer. Standard candles are more reactive to raw price changes.
3. Line Drawing Control Buttons
These crucial boolean inputs determine which type of signals will trigger the drawing of TP/SL/Entry lines and flags on your chart. They act as a priority system.
drawLinesUtOnly (Draw Lines: UT Only):
What it does: If checked (true), lines and flags will only be drawn when the UT Bot generates a buy/sell signal.
Effect: Isolates UT Bot signals for visual analysis.
drawLinesSmartMoneyOnly (Draw Lines: Smart Money Only):
What it does: If checked (true), lines and flags will only be drawn when the Smart Money Breakout logic generates a bullish/bearish breakout.
Effect: Overrides drawLinesUtOnly if both are checked. Isolates Smart Money signals.
drawLinesCombined (Draw Lines: UT & Smart Money (Combined)):
What it does: If checked (true), lines and flags will only be drawn when both a UT Bot signal AND a Smart Money Breakout signal occur on the same bar.
Effect: Overrides both drawLinesUtOnly and drawLinesSmartMoneyOnly if checked. Provides the strictest entry criteria for line drawing, looking for strong confluence.
Dashboard Metrics Explained
The dashboard provides performance statistics based on the lines drawing control button selected. For example, if "Draw Lines: UT Only" is active, the dashboard will show stats only for UT Bot signals.
Total Signals: The total number of buy or sell signals generated by the selected drawing mode.
TP1 Win Rate: The percentage of signals where the price reached Take Profit 1 (TP1) before hitting the Stop Loss.
TP2 Win Rate: The percentage of signals where the price reached Take Profit 2 (TP2) before hitting the Stop Loss.
TP3 Win Rate: The percentage of signals where the price reached Take Profit 3 (TP3) before hitting the Stop Loss. (Note: TP1, TP2, TP3 are in order of distance from entry, with TP3 being furthest.)
SL before any TP rate: This crucial metric shows the number of times the Stop Loss was hit / the percentage of total signals where the stop loss was triggered before any of the three Take Profit levels were reached. This gives you a clear picture of how often a trade resulted in a loss without ever moving into profit target territory.
Short Tutorial: How to Use the Indicator
Add to Chart: Open your TradingView chart, go to "Indicators," search for "Alpha - Combined Breakout," and add it to your chart.
Access Settings: Once added, click the gear icon next to the indicator name on your chart to open its settings.
Choose Your Signal Mode:
For UT Bot only: Uncheck "Draw Lines: Smart Money Only" and "Draw Lines: UT & Smart Money (Combined)". Ensure "Draw Lines: UT Only" is checked.
For Smart Money only: Uncheck "Draw Lines: UT Only" and "Draw Lines: UT & Smart Money (Combined)". Ensure "Draw Lines: Smart Money Only" is checked.
For Combined Signals: Check "Draw Lines: UT & Smart Money (Combined)". This will override the other two.
Adjust Parameters:
Start with default settings. Observe how the signals appear on your chosen asset and timeframe.
Refine Smart Money: If you see too many "noisy" market structure breaks, increase swingSize. If you want earlier breakouts, try "Wicks" for bosConfType.
Refine UT Bot: Adjust a_ut (Sensitivity) to get more or fewer UT Bot signals. Change c_ut (ATR Period) if you want larger or smaller TP/SL distances. Experiment with h_ut to see if Heikin Ashi smoothing suits your trading style.
Adjust TP/SL Multiplier: If using "Smart Money Only" mode, fine-tune sm_tp_sl_multiplier to set appropriate risk/reward levels.
Interpret Signals & Lines:
Buy/Sell Flags: These indicate the presence of a signal based on your selected drawing mode.
Entry Line (Blue Solid): This is where the signal was generated (usually the close price of the signal candle).
SL Line (Red/Green Solid): Your calculated stop loss level.
TP Lines (Dashed): Your three calculated take profit levels (TP1, TP2, TP3, where TP3 is the furthest target).
Smart Money Lines (BOS/CHoCH): These lines indicate horizontal levels where market structure breaks occurred. CHoCH labels might appear at the first structural break against the prior trend.
Monitor Dashboard: Pay attention to the dashboard in the top right corner. This dynamically updates to show the win rates for each TP and, crucially, the "SL before any TP rate." Use these statistics to evaluate the effectiveness of the indicator's signals under your current settings and chosen mode.
*
Set Alerts (Optional): You can set up alerts for any of the specific signals (UT Bot Long/Short, Smart Money Bullish/Bearish, or the "Line Draw" combined signals) to notify you when they occur, even if you're not actively watching the chart.
By following this tutorial, you'll be able to effectively use and customize the "Alpha - Combined Breakout" indicator to suit your trading strategy.
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.
🧠 BEYOND THE CODE 🧠
The Non-Psychological Levels indicator, like other xxattaxx indicators , is designed with education and community collaboration in mind. Its open-source nature encourages exploration, experimentation, and the development of new approaches to price analysis. By focusing on structural price behavior rather than psychological or time-based factors, this indicator introduces a fresh perspective for users to study.
Beyond its visual utility, the indicator serves as an educational framework for understanding the concept of non-psychological analysis. It offers traders an opportunity to explore price dynamics in a purely mechanical way, challenging conventional methods and fostering deeper insights into structural behavior. This approach is especially valuable for those interested in exploring new concepts or seeking alternative perspectives on market analysis.
Your comments, suggestions, and discussions are invaluable in shaping the future of this project. We actively encourage your feedback and contributions, which will directly help us refine and improve the Non-Psychological Levels indicator. We look forward to seeing the creative ways in which you use and enhance this tool. MVS
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.
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.

ICT Order Block Identifier [Eˣ]📦 Order Block Identifier
Overview
The Order Block Identifier automatically detects and displays institutional order blocks on your charts - zones where banks, hedge funds, and market makers place their orders. This indicator helps identify where institutions are likely to defend their positions and where price often finds support or resistance, based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 What This Indicator Does
Detects Order Blocks:
• 🟢 Bullish Order Blocks (OB+) - Last bearish candle before strong bullish move
• 🔴 Bearish Order Blocks (OB-) - Last bullish candle before strong bearish move
• Automatically identifies institutional buying/selling zones
• Tracks up to 30 order blocks simultaneously
• Works on all timeframes and instruments
Smart Features:
• Auto-Timeframe Adjustment - Optimizes detection for 1min to Weekly charts
• Active Block Highlighting - Shows which OB price is approaching
• Touch Tracking - Knows when blocks are tested
• ATR-Based Detection - Adapts to each instrument's volatility
• Strength Filtering - Choose Low/Medium/High to control sensitivity
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📚 Understanding Order Blocks
What Are Order Blocks?
Order blocks are the "footprints" left behind by institutional traders (banks, hedge funds, market makers) when they enter large positions. Because institutions can't fill massive orders at once without moving the market, they:
1. Place orders gradually over time
2. Leave zones where their buy/sell orders are concentrated
3. Defend these zones when price returns
4. Create reliable support and resistance levels
The ICT Concept:
Developed by Michael Huddleston (Inner Circle Trader), order block theory states that:
• The last opposite-colored candle before a strong move contains institutional orders
• Price often returns to test these zones before continuing
• These zones act as strong support (bullish OB) or resistance (bearish OB)
• Smart money defends their positions at these levels
Why Order Blocks Work:
• Unfilled Orders: Institutions may still have pending orders in the block
• Position Defense: They protect their entries by adding to positions
• Stop Placement: Retail stops cluster near these zones (liquidity for institutions)
• Market Structure: Price respects these levels due to order flow dynamics
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🟢 Bullish Order Blocks Explained
How They Form:
1. Price is consolidating or declining
2. Institutions begin accumulating (buying)
3. A strong bullish move erupts
4. The last bearish candle before this move = Bullish Order Block
5. This candle represents where institutions were buying aggressively
Why The Last Bearish Candle?
• Institutions absorbed all selling pressure at this level
• Their buy orders filled as price was declining
• When price returns, they defend this zone with more buying
• It becomes a demand zone / support level
Trading Bullish Order Blocks:
Setup:
• Wait for price to retrace back to bullish OB (green box)
• Look for rejection/reversal pattern (pin bar, engulfing, etc.)
• Enter long when price bounces from the OB zone
• Stop loss: Below the order block
• Target: Recent high or opposite order block
Best Scenarios:
• OB aligns with other support (trendline, fibonacci, round number)
• First touch of OB (unmitigated) has highest probability
• Occurs during high-volume sessions (London/NY)
• Trend is bullish on higher timeframe
Example Trade:
• Bullish OB forms at $50,000 (last red candle before rally)
• Price rallies to $52,000 then retraces
• Price drops back to $50,100 (touching OB)
• Bullish pin bar forms on the OB
• Enter long at $50,200, stop at $49,800
• Target: $52,000+ (previous high)

🔴 Bearish Order Blocks Explained
How They Form:
1. Price is consolidating or rising
2. Institutions begin distributing (selling)
3. A strong bearish move erupts
4. The last bullish candle before this move = Bearish Order Block
5. This candle represents where institutions were selling aggressively
Why The Last Bullish Candle?
• Institutions absorbed all buying pressure at this level
• Their sell orders filled as price was rising
• When price returns, they defend this zone with more selling
• It becomes a supply zone / resistance level
Trading Bearish Order Blocks:
Setup:
• Wait for price to retrace back to bearish OB (red box)
• Look for rejection/reversal pattern (shooting star, bearish engulfing)
• Enter short when price rejects from the OB zone
• Stop loss: Above the order block
• Target: Recent low or opposite order block
Best Scenarios:
• OB aligns with other resistance (trendline, fibonacci, round number)
• First touch of OB (unmitigated) has highest probability
• Occurs during high-volume sessions (London/NY)
• Trend is bearish on higher timeframe
Example Trade:
• Bearish OB forms at $48,000 (last green candle before drop)
• Price drops to $46,000 then retraces
• Price rallies back to $47,900 (touching OB)
• Bearish engulfing forms at the OB
• Enter short at $47,800, stop at $48,200
• Target: $46,000- (previous low)

📊 How To Use This Indicator
Strategy 1: Order Block Retest (Classic)
Best For: Swing trading, capturing reversals
Timeframes: 15min, 1H, 4H, Daily
Win Rate: 60-70% (first touch)
Entry Rules:
1. Identify unmitigated order block (bright color, not gray)
2. Wait for price to return to the OB zone
3. Look for price action confirmation:
• Bullish OB: Pin bar, bullish engulfing, hammer
• Bearish OB: Shooting star, bearish engulfing, doji
4. Enter in the direction of the OB
5. Stop loss: Beyond the opposite side of OB (20-30 pips)
6. Target: 2-3R or opposite OB
Example:
• Bullish OB at $100-$102
• Price drops to $101.50 (enters OB)
• Bullish pin bar forms with low at $100.80
• Enter long at $102 (OB high), stop at $99.50
• Risk: $2.50, Target: $107.50 (3R)
Strategy 2: Break & Retest
Best For: Trend trading, breakout confirmation
Timeframes: 5min, 15min, 1H
Win Rate: 65-75%
Entry Rules:
1. Price breaks through an order block
2. Wait for pullback to the broken OB
3. The OB now acts as support (if broken up) or resistance (if broken down)
4. Enter when price respects the flipped OB
5. Stop: Inside the OB zone
6. Target: Next OB or structure level
Why It Works: Broken OBs flip polarity - support becomes resistance and vice versa
Strategy 3: Multi-Timeframe Confirmation
Best For: High-probability setups
Timeframes: Combine 1H + 4H or 15min + 1H
Win Rate: 70-80%
Entry Rules:
1. Identify order block on higher timeframe (4H or Daily)
2. Switch to lower timeframe (1H or 15min)
3. Wait for lower TF order block to form within higher TF OB
4. Trade the lower TF OB in direction of higher TF OB
5. Stop: Below lower TF OB
6. Target: Edge of higher TF OB or beyond
Why It Works: Alignment across timeframes = institutional consensus
Strategy 4: Order Block to Order Block
Best For: Range trading, swing entries
Timeframes: 1H, 4H
Win Rate: 55-65%
Entry Rules:
1. Identify both bullish OB below and bearish OB above
2. Price is ranging between these OBs
3. Enter long at bullish OB, target bearish OB
4. Enter short at bearish OB, target bullish OB
5. Stop: Beyond the trading OB
6. Exit at opposite OB
Why It Works: Price moves from one institutional zone to another
Strategy 5: Mitigation Fade
Best For: Aggressive scalping
Timeframes: 5min, 15min
Win Rate: 50-60% (higher risk)
Entry Rules:
1. Price approaches an order block
2. Instead of bouncing, price breaks through (mitigates it)
3. Enter immediately in direction of breakout
4. Stop: Back inside the mitigated OB
5. Quick target: 1-1.5R
Why It Works: When OB fails, it often leads to strong continuation

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💎 Pro Tips & Best Practices
✅ DO:
• First touch is best - Unmitigated OBs have highest win rate (60-70%)
• Wait for confirmation - Don't buy/sell just because price touched OB
• Use multiple timeframes - Higher TF OBs are stronger than lower TF
• Combine with structure - OB + trendline/support = high probability
• Trade with the bias - More bullish OBs = favor longs
• Respect mitigation - Once OB is mitigated, it's less reliable
• Use proper stop loss - Always place stops beyond the OB zone
• Consider session timing - OBs work best during London/NY sessions
⚠️ DON'T:
• Don't blindly buy/sell at OBs - Wait for confirmation
• Don't ignore mitigation - Gray blocks are much weaker
• Don't trade every OB - Quality over quantity
• Don't fight strong trends - OBs can be run through in strong momentum
• Don't use alone - Combine with price action, support/resistance
• Don't expect 100% win rate - Even best OBs fail sometimes (30-40% of time)
• Don't overtrade - Wait for A+ setups with confluence
🎯 Best Timeframes By Trading Style:
• Scalpers: 1min, 5min (quick OB touches)
• Day Traders: 5min, 15min, 1H (balanced view)
• Swing Traders: 1H, 4H, Daily (major institutional zones)
• Position Traders: 4H, Daily, Weekly (strongest OBs)
🔥 Best Instruments:
• Excellent: Forex major pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD), BTC, ETH, ES, NQ
• Good: Gold, Oil, Major indices, Large-cap stocks
• Moderate: Altcoins, small-cap stocks (more noise)
• Avoid: Very low liquidity instruments (OBs less reliable)
⏰ Best Times To Trade OBs:
• London Session (03:00-12:00 EST): Highest OB respect rate
• NY Session (08:00-17:00 EST): Strong OB reactions
• London-NY Overlap (08:00-12:00 EST): Best probability
• Asian Session: Lower probability, wait for London
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎓 Advanced Order Block Concepts
Order Block Flips (Polarity Change)
When price breaks through an OB and closes beyond it:
• Bullish OB that's broken becomes bearish (support becomes resistance)
• Bearish OB that's broken becomes bullish (resistance becomes support)
• Trading: Watch for retest of broken OB from opposite side
Order Block Refinement
When multiple OBs form at similar level:
• Later OB "refines" or "replaces" the earlier one
• Use the most recent OB as the active zone
• Older OBs become less relevant
Order Block Clusters
Multiple OBs stacked close together:
• Creates a "super zone" of institutional interest
• Higher probability of reversal
• Wider zone for entries (more room for confirmation)
Fair Value Gaps + Order Blocks
When OB aligns with Fair Value Gap:
• Extremely high probability setup
• Price is drawn to fill the gap AND test the OB
• Double confluence = institutional magnet
Order Block Mitigation Types
• Full Mitigation: Price fully enters and closes inside OB
• Partial Mitigation: Price wicks into OB but closes outside
• False Mitigation: Quick touch then immediate rejection
• Partial/false mitigation = OB still somewhat valid
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📈 Common Order Block Patterns
Pattern 1: The Perfect Retest
• OB forms during strong move
• Price continues 100-200+ pips
• Price retraces back to OB
• Clean bounce with confirmation candle
• Highest probability pattern
Pattern 2: The Double Tap
• Price tests OB, bounces weakly
• Price tests same OB again
• Second test produces stronger reaction
• Second touch often better entry
Pattern 3: The Fake-Out
• Price breaks through OB
• Immediately reverses back
• "Stop hunt" or liquidity grab
• Enter after price reclaims OB
Pattern 4: The Ladder
• Multiple OBs stacked like stairs
• Price steps from one OB to next
• Each OB provides support/resistance
• Trade OB-to-OB movements
Pattern 5: The Failed OB
• Price crashes through OB without pause
• OB completely invalidated
• Often signals strong momentum
• Don't fight it, trade the breakout

HMA 34 Dual-Fractal Projections - VdubusVdubus MacD Divergence Trend Break Signal Generator :Here:-
HMA 18 Dual-Fractal Projections
Overview
The HMA 18 Dual-Fractal Projections is a technical analysis tool designed to identify market structure and potential breakout patterns by analyzing the pivots of a Hull Moving Average (HMA).
Unlike standard trendline indicators that struggle to balance "big picture" trends with immediate price action, this indicator utilizes a Dual-Fractal approach. It simultaneously calculates two separate timelines—Macro and Micro—to visualize both the dominant channel and the developing chart patterns (such as wedges or triangles) in real-time.
Visual Guide
The indicator plots three key elements on the main chart:
The HMA Line (Blue): A smooth, fast-acting moving average (default length 34) that serves as the baseline for all calculations.
Macro Structure (Solid, Thick Lines):
Red (Solid): Major Resistance.
Green (Solid): Major Support.
Purpose: Identifies the long-term trend channel. These lines react slowly and filter out noise.
Micro Structure (Dashed, Thin Lines):
Red (Dashed): Immediate Resistance.
Green (Dashed): Immediate Support.
Purpose: Identifies the short-term market structure. These lines react quickly to show forming wedges, triangles, or flags.
How It Works
The indicator applies a "Pivot High/Low" algorithm directly to the HMA data rather than raw price data. This filters out candle wicks and volatility, ensuring lines are drawn based on established momentum shifts.
Layer 1 (Macro): Uses a large "Lookback" period (default 44 bars) to find significant peaks and valleys. It connects the most recent major pivot to the previous one, projecting a line forward to show where the major trend channel lies.
Layer 2 (Micro): Uses a small "Lookback" period (default 10 bars) to find local peaks and valleys. This allows you to see how price is behaving within the larger channel.
Settings & Configuration
HMA Settings
HMA Length: The length of the Hull Moving Average.
Default: 34 (Matches the "visually pleasing" setting from recent testing).
Note: Set to 18 for a faster, more reactive baseline (scalping).
Layer 1: Macro (Big Channel)
Macro Lookback: Determines how many bars must pass before a peak is confirmed.
Default: 44. High values find broad, established channels.
Max Macro Lines: How many historical lines to keep on the chart.
Default: 1 (Keeps the chart clean, showing only the current structure).
Extend Macro Lines: Projects the lines infinitely to the right to predict future support/resistance zones.
Layer 2: Micro (Current Pattern)
Micro Lookback: A lower sensitivity setting to catch immediate structure.
Default: 10. Low values will pinpoint the exact boundaries of small wedges or flags forming right now.
Trading Strategy & Interpretation
1. The "Squeeze" (Wedge Identification) This is the primary use case.
Look for scenarios where the Macro Lines (Solid) are wide/parallel, but the Micro Lines (Dashed) are rapidly converging (pointing towards each other).
This indicates that while the main trend is intact, momentum is compressing. A breakout is imminent where the dashed lines intersect.
2. Trend Channels
When both Solid and Dashed lines are roughly parallel and sloping in the same direction, the trend is healthy and strong. Price is respecting both the short-term and long-term momentum.
3. Divergence / Early Reversal Warning
If the Macro Line is sloping UP, but the Micro Line starts sloping DOWN (crossing inside), it indicates a loss of momentum and a potential reversal before the price actually breaks the major trendline.
===========================================================================
2. Micro/Macro Cross Alert
A new input, Enable Micro/Macro Cross Alert, has been added under the "Alerts & Features" section.
This alert condition is triggered when the momentum of the Micro Structure exceeds the momentum of the Macro Structure, which is a high-probability signal for a breakout:
Bullish Alert: The Micro High (dashed red line) crosses above the Macro High (solid red line).
Bearish Alert: The Micro Low (dashed green line) crosses below the Macro Low (solid green line).
To set up the actual alert on your chart:
Right-click on the chart.
Select "Add alert on HMA 34 Dual-Fractal Projections".
In the Condition dropdown, select the indicator's name.
For the main alert criteria, choose "Any alert()".
Select your preferred alert actions (e.g., notification, email).
Smart Money Decoded [GOLD]Title: Smart Money Decoded
Description:
Introduction
Smart Money Decoded is a comprehensive, institutional-grade visualization suite designed to simplify the complex world of Smart Money Concepts (SMC). While many indicators flood the chart with noise, this tool focuses on clarity, precision, and high-probability structure.
This script is built for traders who follow the "Inner Circle Trader" (ICT) methodologies but struggle to identify valid Zones, Displacement, and Liquidity Sweeps in real-time.
💎 Key Features & Logic
1. Refined Market Structure (BOS & CHoCH)
Instead of marking every minor pivot, this script uses a filtered Swing High/Low detection system.
HH/LL/LH/HL Labels: Only significant structure points are mapped.
BOS (Break of Structure): Marks trend continuations in the direction of the bias.
CHoCH (Change of Character): Marks potential trend reversals.
2. Advanced Order Blocks (with "Strict Mode")
Not all down-candles before an up-move are Order Blocks. This script separates the weak from the strong.
Standard OBs: Visualized with standard transparency.
⚡ SWEEP OBs (High Probability): Order Blocks that explicitly swept liquidity (Stop Hunt) before the reversal are highlighted with a thicker border, brighter color, and a ⚡ symbol. These are your high-probability "Turtle Soup" entries.
Strict Mode Toggle: In the settings, you can choose to hide all weak OBs and only see the ones that swept liquidity.
3. Dynamic Breaker Blocks
A true ICT Breaker is a failed Order Block that trapped liquidity.
This script automatically detects when a valid OB is mitigated (broken through) and projects it forward as a Breaker Block.
This ensures you are trading off valid flipped zones (Support becomes Resistance, Resistance becomes Support).
4. Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Automatically detects Imbalances (Imbalance/Inefficiency).
Includes an ATR Filter to ignore tiny, insignificant gaps, keeping your chart clean.
Option to show the Consequent Encroachment (50% CE) level for precision entries.
5. Liquidity Zones (BSL / SSL)
Automatically plots Buy Side Liquidity (BSL) and Sell Side Liquidity (SSL) at key swing points.
Once price sweeps these levels, the zone is removed or marked as "Swept," helping you identify when the draw on liquidity has been met.
6. Institutional Data Panel
A dashboard in the top right corner displays:
Market Bias: Bullish/Bearish/Neutral based on structure.
Premium/Discount: Tells you if price is in the expensive (Premium) or cheap (Discount) part of the current dealing range.
Active Zones: Counts of current open arrays.
⚙️ How To Use This Indicator
Identify Bias: Look at the Structure Labels (HH/LL) and the Panel. Are we making Higher Highs?
Wait for the Trap: Look for a Liquidity Sweep (BSL/SSL taken) or a ⚡ Sweep OB.
Entry Confirmation: Watch for a return to a Fair Value Gap (FVG) or a retest of a Breaker Block (BRK).
Manage Risk: Use the visuals to place stops above/below invalidation points.
Customization:
Go to the settings to toggle "Strict Mode" for Order Blocks, change colors to match your theme, or adjust the lookback periods to fit your specific asset (Forex, Crypto, or Indices).

Dynamic Support and Resistance with Trend LinesDynamic Support and Resistance with Trend Lines (DSRTL)
1. Introduction & Methodology
The DSRTL indicator is designed to provide a multidimensional analysis of market structure. Unlike traditional tools that rely solely on price pivots, this script combines Static Volume-based Zones with Dynamic Trend Lines to evaluate the price's position relative to critical market components.
The S/R Identification Technique
Instead of standard pivot points, DSRTL utilizes Volume Analysis to highlight areas of significant trader participation:
- Strategy A:
Matrix Climax: Identifies candles within the lookback period that are near price extremes (Highs/Lows) and coincide with significant buying or selling volume.
- Strategy B:
Volume Extremes: Detects candles with the absolute highest buy/sell volumes within the selected lookback window, creating extreme volume-based S/R zones.
- Result:
This creates Support/Resistance (S/R) zones that are validated by actual market activity, not just price geometry.
Dynamic Trend Lines
To complement the static zones, the indicator employs two adaptive channel methods:
- Pivot Span: Connects recent significant pivots for a fast, reactive trend corridor.
- 5-Point Channel: Segments the lookback period into 5 parts to perform a linear regression analysis, creating a stable and statistically significant channel.
2. Volume Calculation Methodology
Accurate S/R detection requires distinguishing Buy Volume from Sell Volume. DSRTL offers two calculation modes:
- Geometry (Source File): Estimates buy/sell volume based on the Close price's position relative to the High/Low of the candle.
Note: This is an approximation that works on all plan types as it does not require intrabar data.
- Intrabar (Precise): Analyzes historical lower-timeframe data (e.g., 15S) to calculate intrabar-based volume deltas with higher precision compared to the geometric method.
Note: This offers superior accuracy. It requires access to historical intrabar data (depending on your plan limits). For the best analytical results, use this mode if available.
3. The Smart Matrix Engine (3D Analysis)
The core of DSRTL is its dashboard, powered by the "Smart Matrix Engine." This engine evaluates the current price in a multi-layer market structure context (Static Volume Zones + Dynamic Channels + Volume Metrics).:
A. S-State (Static): Where is the price relative to the Volume S/R zones?
B. D-State (Dynamic): Where is the price relative to the Trend Channels?
How to read the Matrix Map:
The dashboard displays a 5x5 grid representing 25 possible market scenarios.
- Rows (S1-S5): Represent the Static State (S1=Breakout, S3=Mid-Range, S5=Breakdown).
- Columns (D1-D5): Represent the Dynamic State (D1=Overextended Up, D3=Neutral, D5=Overextended Down).
- Active Cell: Marked with a dot, indicating the specific intersection of price action and market structure.

DISCLAIMER & EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE
This indicator is strictly an educational tool designed to visualize complex market structure concepts. Its primary purpose is to help traders "bridge the gap" between academic theory and real-time market behavior by providing a visual representation of support, resistance, and volume dynamics.
Please Note:
1. Not a Trading Strategy: This script is an analytical assistant, not a standalone "Black Box" trading system. It does not generate buy or sell signals that should be followed blindly.
2. No Financial Advice: The data provided by this tool is for informational purposes only. It is not a recommendation to buy or sell any asset.
3. Risk Warning: Trading involves significant risk. Always use your own judgment, perform your own technical analysis, and use proper risk management. Do not use this tool as the sole basis for your trading decisions.
4. Data Precision & Platform Limits: The "Intrabar (Precise)" calculation mode relies on high-resolution historical data to provide exact results. Access to this specific data depth depends entirely on your platform's subscription capabilities. If your plan does not support this level of historical intrabar data, the Precise mode may have limited coverage. In that case, you should switch to "Geometry" mode for a fully populated view.
Flux-Tensor Singularity [FTS]Flux-Tensor Singularity - Multi-Factor Market Pressure Indicator
The Flux-Tensor Singularity (FTS) is an advanced multi-factor oscillator that combines volume analysis, momentum tracking, and volatility-weighted normalization to identify critical market inflection points. Unlike traditional single-factor indicators, FTS synthesizes price velocity, volume mass, and volatility context into a unified framework that adapts to changing market regimes.
This indicator identifies extreme market conditions (termed "singularities") where multiple confirming factors converge, then uses a sophisticated scoring system to determine directional bias. It is designed for traders seeking high-probability setups with built-in confluence requirements.
THEORETICAL FOUNDATION
The indicator is built on the premise that market time is not constant - different market conditions contain varying levels of information density. A 1-minute bar during a major news event contains far more actionable information than a 1-minute bar during overnight low-volume trading. Traditional indicators treat all bars equally; FTS does not.
The theoretical framework draws conceptual parallels to physics (purely as a mental model, not literal physics):
Volume as Mass: Large volume represents significant market participation and "weight" behind price moves. Just as massive objects have stronger gravitational effects, high-volume moves carry more significance.
Price Change as Velocity: The rate of price movement through price space represents momentum and directional force.
Volatility as Time Dilation: When volatility is high relative to its historical norm, the "information density" of each bar increases. The indicator weights these periods more heavily, similar to how time dilates near massive objects in physics.
This is a pedagogical metaphor to create a coherent mental model - the underlying mathematics are standard financial calculations combined in a novel way.
MATHEMATICAL FRAMEWORK
The indicator calculates a composite singularity value through four distinct steps:
Step 1: Raw Singularity Calculation
S_raw = (ΔP × V) × γ²
Where:
ΔP = Price Velocity = close - close
V = Volume Mass = log(volume + 1)
γ² = Time Dilation Factor = (ATR_local / ATR_global)²
Volume Transformation: Volume is log-transformed because raw volume can have extreme outliers (10x-100x normal). The logarithm compresses these spikes while preserving their significance. This is standard practice in volume analysis.
Volatility Weighting: The ratio of short-term ATR (5 periods) to long-term ATR (user-defined lookback) is squared to create a volatility amplification factor. When local volatility exceeds global volatility, this ratio increases, amplifying the raw singularity value. This makes the indicator regime-aware.
Step 2: Normalization
The raw singularity values are normalized to a 0-100 scale using a stochastic-style calculation:
S_normalized = ((S_raw - S_min) / (S_max - S_min)) × 100
Where S_min and S_max are the lowest and highest raw singularity values over the lookback period.
Step 3: Epsilon Compression
S_compressed = 50 + ((S_normalized - 50) / ε)
This is the critical innovation that makes the sensitivity control functional. By applying compression AFTER normalization, the epsilon parameter actually affects the final output:
ε < 1.0: Expands range (more signals)
ε = 1.0: No change (default)
ε > 1.0: Compresses toward 50 (fewer, higher-quality signals)
For example, with ε = 2.0, a normalized value of 90 becomes 70, making threshold breaches rarer and more significant.
Step 4: Smoothing
S_final = EMA(S_compressed, smoothing_period)
An exponential moving average removes high-frequency noise while preserving trend.
SIGNAL GENERATION LOGIC
When the tensor crosses above the upper threshold (default 90) or below the lower threshold (default 10), an extreme event is detected. However, the indicator does NOT immediately generate a buy or sell signal. Instead, it analyzes market context through a multi-factor scoring system:
Scoring Components:
Price Structure (+1 point): Current bar bullish/bearish
Momentum (+1 point): Price higher/lower than N bars ago
Trend Context (+2 points): Fast EMA above/below slow EMA (weighted heavier)
Acceleration (+1 point): Rate of change increasing/decreasing
Volume Multiplier (×1.5): If volume > average, multiply score
The highest score (bullish vs bearish) determines signal direction. This prevents the common indicator failure mode of "overbought can stay overbought" by requiring directional confirmation.
Signal Conditions:
A BUY signal requires:
Extreme event detection (tensor crosses threshold)
Bullish score > Bearish score
Price confirmation: Bullish candle (optional, user-controlled)
Volume confirmation: Volume > average (optional, user-controlled)
Momentum confirmation: Positive momentum (optional, user-controlled)
A SELL signal requires the inverse conditions.
INPUTS EXPLAINED - Core Parameters:
Global Horizon (Context): Default 20. Lookback period for normalization and volatility comparison. Higher values = smoother but less responsive. Lower values = more signals but potentially more noise.
Tensor Smoothing: Default 3. EMA period applied to final output. Removes "quantum foam" (high-frequency noise). Range 1-20.
Singularity Threshold: Default 90. Values above this (or below 100-threshold) trigger extreme event detection. Higher = rarer, stronger signals.
Signal Sensitivity (Epsilon): Default 1.0. Post-normalization compression factor. This is the key innovation - it actually works because it's applied AFTER normalization. Range 0.1-5.0.
Signal Interpreter Toggles:
Require Price Confirmation: Default ON. Only generates buy signals on bullish candles, sell signals on bearish candles. Reduces false signals but may delay entry.
Require Volume Confirmation: Default ON. Only signals when volume > average. Critical for stocks/crypto, less important for forex (unreliable volume data).
Use Momentum Filter: Default ON. Requires momentum agreement with signal direction. Prevents counter-trend signals.
Momentum Lookback: Default 5. Number of bars for momentum calculation. Shorter = more responsive, longer = trend-following bias.
Visual Controls:
Colors: Customizable colors for bullish flux, bearish flux, background, and event horizon.
Visual Transparency: Default 85. Master control for all visual elements (accretion disk, field lines, particles, etc.). Range 50-99. Signals and dashboard have separate controls.
Visibility Toggles: Individual on/off switches for:
Gravitational field lines (trend EMAs)
Field reversals (trend crossovers)
Accretion disk (background gradient)
Singularity diamonds (neutral extreme events)
Energy particles (volume bursts)
Event horizon flash (extreme event background)
Signal background flash
Signal Size: Tiny/Small/Normal triangle size
Signal Offsets: Separate controls for buy and sell signal vertical positioning (percentage of price)
Dashboard Settings:
Show Dashboard: Toggle on/off
Position: 9 placement options (all corners, centers, middles)
Text Size: Tiny/Small/Normal/Large
Background Transparency: 0-50, separate from visual transparency
VISUAL ELEMENTS EXPLAINED
1. Accretion Disk (Background Gradient):
A three-layer gradient background that intensifies as the tensor approaches extremes. The outer disk appears at any non-neutral reading, the inner disk activates above 70 or below 30, and the core layer appears above 85 or below 15. Color indicates direction (cyan = bullish, red = bearish). This provides instant visual feedback on market pressure intensity.
2. Gravitational Field Lines (EMAs):
Two trend-following EMAs (10 and 30 period) visualized as colored lines. These represent the "curvature" of market trend - when they diverge, trend is strong; when they converge, trend is weakening. Crossovers mark potential trend reversals.
3. Field Reversals (Circles):
Small circles appear when the fast EMA crosses the slow EMA, indicating a potential trend change. These are distinct from extreme events and appear at normal market structure shifts.
4. Singularity Diamonds:
Small diamond shapes appear when the tensor reaches extreme levels (>90 or <10) but doesn't meet the full signal criteria. These are "watch" events - extreme pressure exists but directional confirmation is lacking.
5. Energy Particles (Dots):
Tiny dots appear when volume exceeds 2× average, indicating significant participation. Color matches bar direction. These highlight genuine high-conviction moves versus low-volume drifts.
6. Event Horizon Flash:
A golden background flash appears the instant any extreme threshold is breached, before directional analysis. This alerts you to pay attention.
7. Signal Background Flash:
When a full buy/sell signal is confirmed, the background flashes cyan (buy) or red (sell). This is your primary alert that all conditions are met.
8. Signal Triangles:
The actual buy (▲) and sell (▼) markers. These only appear when ALL selected confirmation criteria are satisfied. Position is offset from bars to avoid overlap with other indicators.
DASHBOARD METRICS EXPLAINED
The dashboard displays real-time calculated values:
Event Density: Current tensor value (0-100). Above 90 or below 10 = critical. Icon changes: 🔥 (extreme high), ❄️ (extreme low), ○ (neutral).
Time Dilation (γ): Current volatility ratio squared. Values >2.0 indicate extreme volatility environments. >1.5 = elevated, >1.0 = above average. Icon: ⚡ (extreme), ⚠ (elevated), ○ (normal).
Mass (Vol): Log-transformed volume value. Compared to volume ratio (current/average). Icon: ● (>2× avg), ◐ (>1× avg), ○ (below avg).
Velocity (ΔP): Raw price change. Direction arrow indicates momentum direction. Shows the actual price delta value.
Bullish Flux: Current bullish context score. Displayed as both a bar chart (visual) and numeric value. Brighter when bullish score dominates.
Bearish Flux: Current bearish context score. Same visualization as bullish flux. These scores compete - the winner determines signal direction.
Field: Trend direction based on EMA relationship. "Repulsive" (uptrend), "Attractive" (downtrend), "Neutral" (ranging). Icon: ⬆⬇↔
State: Current market condition:
🚀 EJECTION: Buy signal active
💥 COLLAPSE: Sell signal active
⚠ CRITICAL: Extreme event, no directional confirmation
● STABLE: Normal market conditions
HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
1. Wait for Extreme Events:
The indicator is designed to be selective. Don't trade every fluctuation - wait for tensor to reach >90 or <10. This alone is not a signal.
2. Check Context Scores:
Look at the Bullish Flux vs Bearish Flux in the dashboard. If scores are close (within 1-2 points), the market is indecisive - skip the trade.
3. Confirm with Signals:
Only act when a full triangle signal appears (▲ or ▼). This means ALL your selected confirmation criteria have been met.
4. Use with Price Structure:
Combine with support/resistance levels. A buy signal AT support is higher probability than a buy signal in the middle of nowhere.
5. Respect the Dashboard State:
When State shows "CRITICAL" (⚠), it means extreme pressure exists but direction is unclear. These are the most dangerous moments - wait for resolution.
6. Volume Matters:
Energy particles (dots) and the Mass metric tell you if institutions are participating. Signals without volume confirmation are lower probability.

Volume data is unreliable (spot forex has no centralized volume)
Disable "Require Volume Confirmation"
Focus on momentum and trend filters
News events create extreme singularities
Best on 15m-1h timeframes
Stocks (High-Volume Equities):
Volume confirmation is CRITICAL - keep it ON
Works excellently on AAPL, TSLA, SPY, etc.
Morning session (9:30-11:00 ET) shows highest event density
Earnings announcements create guaranteed extreme events
Best on 5m-1h for day trading, 1D for swing trading
Crypto (BTC, ETH, major alts):
Reduce threshold to 85 (crypto has constant high volatility)
Volume spikes are THE primary signal - keep volume confirmation ON
Works exceptionally well due to 24/7 trading and high volatility
Epsilon can be reduced to 0.7-0.8 for more signals
Best on 15m-4h timeframes
Commodities (Gold, Oil, etc.):
Gold responds to macro events (Fed announcements, geopolitical events)
Oil responds to supply shocks
Use daily timeframe minimum
Increase lookback to 50+
These are slow-moving markets - be patient
Indices (SPX, NDX, etc.):
Institutional volume matters - keep volume confirmation ON
Opening hour (9:30-10:30 ET) = highest singularity probability
Strong correlation with VIX - high VIX = more extreme events
Best on 15m-1h for day trading
WHAT MAKES THIS INDICATOR UNIQUE
1. Post-Normalization Sensitivity Control:
Unlike most oscillators where sensitivity controls don't actually work (they're applied before normalization, which then rescales everything), FTS applies epsilon compression AFTER normalization. This means the sensitivity parameter genuinely affects signal frequency. This is a novel implementation not found in standard oscillators.
2. Multi-Factor Confluence Requirement:
The indicator doesn't just detect "overbought" or "oversold" - it detects extreme conditions AND THEN analyzes context through five separate factors (price structure, momentum, trend, acceleration, volume). Most indicators are single-factor; FTS requires confluence.
3. Volatility-Weighted Normalization:
By squaring the ATR ratio (local/global), the indicator adapts to changing market regimes. A 1% move in a low-volatility environment is treated differently than a 1% move in a high-volatility environment. Traditional indicators treat all moves equally regardless of context.
4. Volume Integration at the Core:
Volume isn't an afterthought or optional filter - it's baked into the fundamental equation as "mass." The log transformation handles outliers elegantly while preserving significance. Most price-based indicators completely ignore volume.
5. Adaptive Scoring System:
Rather than fixed buy/sell rules ("RSI >70 = sell"), FTS uses competitive scoring where bullish and bearish evidence compete. The winner determines direction. This solves the classic problem of "overbought markets can stay overbought during strong uptrends."
6. Comprehensive Visual Feedback:
The multi-layer visualization system (accretion disk, field lines, particles, flashes) provides instant intuitive feedback on market state without requiring dashboard reading. You can see pressure building before extreme thresholds are hit.
7. Separate Extreme Detection and Signal Generation:
"Singularity diamonds" show extreme events that don't meet full criteria, while "signal triangles" only appear when ALL conditions are met. This distinction helps traders understand when pressure exists versus when it's actionable.
COMPARISON TO EXISTING INDICATORS
vs. RSI/Stochastic:
These normalize price relative to recent range. FTS normalizes (price change × log volume × volatility ratio) - a composite metric, not just price position.
vs. Chaikin Money Flow:
CMF combines price and volume but lacks volatility context and doesn't use adaptive normalization or post-normalization compression.
vs. Bollinger Bands + Volume:
Bollinger Bands show volatility but don't integrate volume or create a unified oscillator. They're separate components, not synthesized.
vs. MACD:
MACD is pure momentum. FTS combines momentum with volume weighting and volatility context, plus provides a normalized 0-100 scale.
The specific combination of log-volume weighting, squared volatility amplification, post-normalization epsilon compression, and multi-factor directional scoring is unique to this indicator.
LIMITATIONS AND PROPER DISCLOSURE
Not a Holy Grail:
No indicator is perfect. This tool identifies high-probability setups but cannot predict the future. Losses will occur. Use proper risk management.
Requires Confirmation:
Best used in conjunction with price action analysis, support/resistance levels, and higher timeframe trend. Don't trade signals blindly.
Volume Data Dependency:
On forex (spot) and some low-volume instruments, volume data is unreliable or tick-volume only. Disable volume confirmation in these cases.
Lagging Components:
The EMA smoothing and trend filters are inherently lagging. In extremely fast moves, signals may appear after the initial thrust.
Extreme Event Rarity:
With conservative settings (high threshold, high epsilon), signals can be rare. This is by design - quality over quantity. If you need more frequent signals, reduce threshold to 85 and epsilon to 0.7.
Not Financial Advice:
This indicator is an analytical tool. All trading decisions and their consequences are solely your responsibility. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
BEST PRACTICES
Don't trade every singularity - wait for context confirmation
Higher timeframes = higher reliability
Combine with support/resistance for entry refinement
Volume confirmation is CRITICAL for stocks/crypto (toggle off only for forex)
During major news events, singularities are inevitable but direction may be uncertain - use wider stops
When bullish and bearish flux scores are close, skip the trade
Test settings on your specific instrument/timeframe before live trading
Use the dashboard actively - it contains critical diagnostic information

Dresteghamat:Adaptive Multi-TF Decision Engine**Dresteghamat: Adaptive Multi-Timeframe Decision Engine**
This open-source indicator is an algorithmic decision-support system designed to filter market noise by quantifying three core market dimensions: **Regime**, **Direction**, and **Exhaustion**.
**⚠️ Technical Note on Originality:**
This script solves the "Timeframe Irrelevance" problem found in standard dashboards. Instead of using static HTF references, it implements a custom **"Adaptive Context Engine"** (see lines 245-270 in source code). It calculates the user's current `timeframe.multiplier` and dynamically maps the mathematically relevant Higher Timeframes.
* *Innovation:* A 5m chart automatically weights 15m/1H structure, whereas a 1H chart weights 4H/Daily structure. This dynamic logic is proprietary and ensures contextual accuracy.
---
### 🛠️ Logic & Calculation Methodology
The script does not simply overlay indicators. It processes raw market data through a **Weighted Scoring Engine** (lines 275-285) to output a unified market state.
**1. Regime Identification (Volatility Normalized)**
We calculate a custom "Volatility Ratio" to distinguish Trend vs. Range regimes.
* **Logic:** `Range / Smoothed_ATR`.
* **Function:** If Ratio > 2.0, the market is in Expansion (Trend). If < 1.2, it is in Compression (Range). This normalizes volatility across assets (Crypto/Forex/Stocks).
**2. Directional Bias (Composite Metric)**
Direction is calculated via a voting system of three sub-components (lines 80-130):
* **Structural Pivots:** Detects Swing Highs/Lows using a 25-bar lookback to define market structure.
* **Cumulative Body Delta:** Tracks the net buying/selling pressure within candle bodies.
* **Micro-Flow:** A short-term (5-bar) momentum filter to detect immediate order flow shifts.
**3. Exhaustion Model (Risk Management)**
The script prevents late entries by calculating an "Exhaustion Score" (lines 150-200). It aggregates:
* **VRSD (Volatility Regime Shift):** Detects when volatility expands > 2 standard deviations (Mean Reversion risk).
* **Volume Decay (VEFF):** Identifies Divergence where price makes new highs on declining Volume MA.
* **RSI/Impulse Divergence:** Standard momentum divergence logic.
**4. The Decision Output (MODE)**
The dashboard renders a final signal based on a hierarchical algorithm:
* **BUY/SELL ONLY:** Triggered when Current Momentum aligns with the Dynamically Selected HTF Structure AND the Exhaustion Score is low.
* **PULLBACK:** Triggered when HTF Structure is bullish, but Current Momentum is bearish (indicating a corrective phase).
* **HTF EXHAUST:** Overrides signals when the Higher Timeframe metrics hit extreme levels.
* **WAIT:** Default state during Range Regimes or conflicting signals.

2. **Status Column:** Shows the raw health of the trend (Strong/Weakening/Exhausted).
3. **MODE Column:** Displays the final actionable bias based on the scoring algorithm.

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.

Each momentum component receives independent analysis with customizable periods and significance levels, creating a robust consensus system that filters false signals while maintaining sensitivity to genuine momentum shifts.
// Z-score momentum analysis
rsiAverage = ta.sma(rsiComponent, zAnalysisPeriod)
rsiDeviation = ta.stdev(rsiComponent, zAnalysisPeriod)
rsiZScore = (rsiComponent - rsiAverage) / rsiDeviation
if math.abs(rsiZScore) > zSignificanceLevel
rsiMomentumSignal := rsiComponent > 50 ? 1 : rsiComponent < 50 ? -1 : rsiMomentumSignal
❓How It Works
🔶 Dynamic Channel Configuration
Calculates adaptive channel boundaries using three distinct methodologies: ATR-based volatility, Standard Deviation, and advanced Gaussian Deviation analysis. The system automatically adjusts channel multipliers based on market structure classification, applying tighter channels during trending conditions and wider boundaries during ranging markets for optimal signal accuracy.
dynamicChannelEngine(baselineData, channelLength, methodType) =>
switch methodType
"ATR" => ta.atr(channelLength)
"Standard Deviation" => ta.stdev(baselineData, channelLength)
"Gaussian Deviation" =>
weightArray = array.new_float()
totalWeight = 0.0
for i = 0 to channelLength - 1
gaussWeight = math.exp(-math.pow((i / channelLength) / 2, 2))
weightedVariance += math.pow(deviation, 2) * array.get(weightArray, i)
math.sqrt(weightedVariance / totalWeight)
🔶 Signal Processing Pipeline
Executes a sophisticated 10-step signal generation process including noise filtering, trend reference calculation, structure analysis, momentum component processing, channel boundary determination, trend direction assessment, consensus calculation, confidence scoring, and final signal generation with quality control validation.
🔶 Confidence Transformation System

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.
