XAUMO MEGABAR Detector]XAUMO MegaBar Detector – Breakout Candle Identification Tool
Purpose:
The XAUMO MegaBar Detector is built to highlight rare, high-impact candles where strong price movement and high trading volume occur together. These moments often reflect aggressive market activity and can be used to confirm potential breakouts or reversals.
How It Works (High-Level Overview)
The tool continuously monitors two primary conditions:
Price Expansion – Identifies large-bodied candles compared to recent averages.
Volume Expansion – Confirms that the move is supported by above-average trading activity.
When both conditions are present, the candle is marked:
🟢 Mega Bull – Strong bullish pressure.
🔴 Mega Bear – Strong bearish pressure.
Key Features
Automatic Timeframe Adjustment – Detection sensitivity changes based on chart timeframe, so results stay relevant from 1-minute scalps to multi-day swing setups.
Clear Visual Output – Significant candles are highlighted directly on the chart for easy recognition.
Optional Labels – Toggle on/off text labels (“Mega Bull” / “Mega Bear”) for a cleaner chart view.
Alert Integration – Set TradingView alerts to be notified immediately when a qualifying candle appears.
Universal Compatibility – Works on Forex, Commodities, Indices, Crypto, Stocks, ETFs, and Futures.
Practical Uses for Traders
As a confirmation tool when price approaches support/resistance or Fibonacci levels.
To filter low-quality setups by focusing only on moments where both price and volume confirm the move.
As part of a trend-following or breakout strategy when combined with other analysis methods.
Using the Indicator
Add the indicator to any chart and select your preferred timeframe.
Watch for highlighted candles – they indicate significant combined momentum and liquidity.
Use as a signal filter or confirmation alongside your existing trading system.
Optional: Set alerts to receive push/email/webhook notifications.

📌 MEGA BAR TRADING CHEAT SHEET
Spot Big Money. Ride the Move.
===================================
🧠 WHAT’S A MEGA BAR?
A Mega Bar is a candle so big it makes the rest look tiny — and it often means institutions are making a move.
Check the 4 Rules:
✅ Body size ≥ 2x average
✅ High relative volume (vs. last 20 bars)
✅ Closes near high (bull) or low (bear)
✅ Comes after sideways chop or price squeeze
📈 WHY IT MATTERS
Mega Bars = intent, not random spikes.
🟢 Mega Bull near support/Fib pullback → Likely accumulation
🔴 Mega Bear near resistance/Fib extension → Likely distribution or trap
🔧 HOW TO TRADE IT
1. WAIT FOR IT
No Mega Bar → No trade.
Mega Bull (big green) → BUY bias.
Mega Bear (big red) → SELL bias.
2. FIND THE SPOT
Fib levels: 61.8% / 78.6% / 138.2%
Major Support/Resistance
3. CONFIRM ON BIGGER TIMEFRAME
Example: 15M Mega Bar → Check 1H trend direction.
4. SET YOUR LEVELS
Stop-Loss:
Long → Below Mega Bull low (+0.2×ATR)
Short → Above Mega Bear high (+0.2×ATR)
Take-Profit:
Fib extensions: 127.2% / 161.8% / 261.8%
Prior highs/lows
5. RISK SMART
Risk 1–2% max per trade
Aim for 2:1+ R:R
🌍 WORKS ON:
Forex • Commodities • Stocks • Crypto • Indices
THE RETAILER’S FORMULA:
🟢 Big Green → Buy
🔴 Big Red → Sell
🎯 Fibs = Payday
One setup. One signal. Discipline = profit.

SMT Divergences V2 [OutOfOptions]Smart Money Technique (SMT) Divergence is designed to identify discrepancies between correlated assets within the same timeframe. It occurs when two related assets exhibit opposing signals, such as one forming a higher low while the other forms a lower low. This technique is particularly useful for anticipating market shifts or reversals before they become evident through other Premium Discount (PD) Arrays.
This indicator works by identifying the highs and lows that have formed for an asset on the current chart and the correlated symbol defined in the settings. Once a pivot on either asset is formed, it checks if the pivot has taken liquidity as identified by the previous pivot in the same direction (i.e., a new high taking out a previous high). If this is the case and the corresponding asset has not taken a similar pivot, the condition is determined to be a potential valid divergence. The indicator will then filter out SMTs formed by adjacent candles, requiring at least one candle difference between the candles forming the SMT.
If the “Candle Direction Validation” setting is enabled, the indicator will further check both assets to ensure that for bullish SMTs, the last high on both assets was formed by down candle, and for bearish SMTs, the low was formed by an up candle. This check can often eliminate low-probability SMTs that are frequently broken.
The referenced chart shows divergence between Nasdaq (NQ) and S&P 500 (ES) futures, which are normally closely correlated assets that move in the same direction. The lines shown represent bullish and bearish divergences between the two when they are formed. As you can see from the chart, SMT Divergences may not always indicate a reversal, or a reversal might be just a short-term retrace. Therefore, SMT Divergences should not be used independently. However, in conjunction with other PD arrays, they can provide strong confirmation of a change in market direction.
Configurability:
Pivot strength - Indicates how many bars to the left/right of a high for pivot to be considered, recommended to keep at 1 for maximum detection speed
Candle Direction Validation - Additional SMT validation to filter out weak/low-probability SMTs be examining candle direction
Remove Broken SMTs - Keeps the chart clean by removing broken (invalidate) SMTs from the chart, once price moves beyond the outmost edge of the SMT
Work in Realtime - Enabled real-time mode for even faster detection of SMTs
Line Styling for Bullish/Bearish SMTs - Ability to customize line style, color & width for bullish/bearish SMTs
Label Control - Whether or not to show SMT label and if shown what font size & color should be used and if labels should include a tooltip containing information about the SMT
What makes this indicator different:
When used on NQ/ES it will automatically detect the matching the corresponding ticker, i.e. if you have chart on NQU2025 it'll automatically match to ESU2025 and vice-versa. Works for mini/micro/continuous contract
Unlike other SMT indicators, this indicator has an option to remove broken (no longer valid SMTs)
Allows real-time detection of SMTs prior to the pivot being fully formed
Allows validation of SMTs to only display high-probability SMTs, that are more likely to signal a possible reversal
Includes alerting capability for both SMT creation and when the SMT is broken (invalidated)
52SIGNAL RECIPE CME Gap Support & Resistance Detector═══ 52SIGNAL RECIPE CME Gap Support & Resistance Detector ═══
◆ Overview
The 52SIGNAL RECIPE CME Gap Support & Resistance Detector is an advanced technical indicator that automatically detects and visualizes all types of price gaps occurring in the CME Bitcoin futures market on trading charts. It captures not only gaps formed during weekend and holiday closures, but also those created during the daily 1-hour maintenance period on weekdays, and sudden price gaps resulting from economic indicator releases or news events.
The core value of this indicator lies beyond simply displaying gaps; it visualizes how these price discontinuities act as powerful support and resistance zones that influence future price movements. In real markets, these CME gaps have a high probability of either being "filled" or functioning as important reaction zones, providing traders with valuable entry and exit signals.
─────────────────────────────────────
◆ Key Features
• Comprehensive Gap Detection: Detects gaps in all market conditions
- Weekend/holiday closure gaps
- Weekday 1-hour maintenance period gaps
- Gaps from economic indicators/news events causing rapid price changes
• Intuitive Color Coding:
- Blue: When gaps act as support (price is above the gap)
- Red: When gaps act as resistance (price is below the gap)
- Gray: Filled gaps (price has completely passed through the gap area)
• Real-time Role Switching: Automatically changes colors as price moves above/below gaps, visualizing support↔resistance role transitions
• Status Tracking System: Automatically tracks whether gaps are "Filled" or "Unfilled"
• Dynamic Boxes: Clearly marks gap areas with boxes and dynamically changes colors based on price movement
• Precise Labeling: Accurately displays the price range of each gap to support trader decision-making
• Smart Filtering: Improved algorithm that solves consecutive gap detection issues for complete gap tracking
• Key Usage Points:
- Pay special attention when price approaches gap areas
- Color changes in gaps signal important market sentiment shifts
- Areas with multiple clustered gaps are particularly strong reaction zones
─────────────────────────────────────
◆ User Guide: Understanding Gap Roles Through Colors
■ Color System Interpretation
• Blue Gaps (Support Role):
▶ Meaning: Current price is above the gap, making the gap act as support
▶ Trading Application: Consider buying opportunities when price approaches blue gap areas
▶ Psychological Meaning: Buying pressure likely to increase at this price level
• Red Gaps (Resistance Role):
▶ Meaning: Current price is below the gap, making the gap act as resistance
▶ Trading Application: Consider selling opportunities when price approaches red gap areas
▶ Psychological Meaning: Selling pressure likely to increase at this price level
• Gray Gaps (Filled Gaps):
▶ Meaning: Price has completely passed through the gap area, filling the gap
▶ Reference Value: Still valuable as reference for past important reaction zones
▶ Trading Application: Used to confirm trend strength and identify key psychological levels
■ Understanding Color Transitions
• Blue → Red Transition:
▶ Meaning: Price has fallen below the gap, changing its role from support to resistance
▶ Market Interpretation: Breakdown of previous support strengthens bearish signals
▶ Trading Application: Consider potential further decline; check gap bottom as resistance during bounces
• Red → Blue Transition:
▶ Meaning: Price has risen above the gap, changing its role from resistance to support
▶ Market Interpretation: Breakout above previous resistance strengthens bullish signals
▶ Trading Application: Consider potential further rise; check gap top as support during pullbacks
─────────────────────────────────────
◆ Practical Application Guide
■ Basic Trading Scenarios
• Blue Gap Support Strategy:
▶ Entry Point: When price approaches the top of a blue gap and forms a bounce candle
▶ Stop Loss: Below the gap bottom (if price completely breaks down through the gap)
▶ Take Profit: Previous swing high or next resistance level above
▶ Probability Enhancers: Gap aligned with major moving averages, oversold RSI, strong bounce candle pattern
• Red Gap Resistance Strategy:
▶ Entry Point: When price approaches the bottom of a red gap and forms a rejection candle
▶ Stop Loss: Above the gap top (if price completely breaks up through the gap)
▶ Take Profit: Previous swing low or next support level below
▶ Probability Enhancers: Gap aligned with major moving averages, overbought RSI, strong rejection candle pattern
■ Advanced Pattern Applications
• Multiple Gap Cluster Identification:
▶ Several gaps in close price proximity form extremely powerful support/resistance zones
▶ Same-color gap clusters: Very strong single-direction reaction zones
▶ Mixed-color gap clusters: High volatility zones with bidirectional reactions expected
• Gap Sequence Analysis:
▶ Consecutive same-direction gaps: Strong trend confirmation signal
▶ Increasing gap size pattern: Trend acceleration signal
▶ Decreasing gap size pattern: Trend weakening signal
• News/Indicator Release Gap Utilization:
▶ Gaps formed immediately after economic indicators: Measure market shock intensity
▶ Gap color change observation: Track market reinterpretation of news
▶ Gap filling speed analysis: Evaluate news impact duration
• Key Attention Points:
▶ Pay special attention to the chart whenever price approaches gap areas
▶ Gap color changes signal important market sentiment shifts
▶ Areas with multiple concentrated gaps are likely to show strong price reactions
─────────────────────────────────────
◆ Technical Foundation
■ CME Gap Formation Principles
• Key Gap Formation Scenarios:
▶ Weekend Closures (Friday close → Monday open): Most common CME gap formation point
▶ Holiday Closures: Gaps occurring due to CME closures on US holidays
▶ Weekday 1-hour Maintenance: Gaps during daily CME maintenance period (16:00-17:00 CT)
▶ Major Economic Indicator Releases: Gaps from rapid price changes during US employment reports, FOMC decisions, CPI releases, etc.
▶ Significant News Events: Gaps from regulatory announcements, geopolitical events, market shocks, etc.
• Psychological Importance of Gaps:
▶ Zones where price formation did not occur, representing imbalance between buying/selling forces
▶ Gap areas have no actual trading, resulting in accumulated potential orders
▶ Reflect institutional investor positions and liquidity distribution in the CME futures market
■ Support/Resistance Mechanism
• Psychological Level Formation Mechanism:
▶ Unexecuted order accumulation in gap areas: Loss of ordering opportunity at those price levels
▶ Liquidity imbalance: No trading occurred in gap areas, creating liquidity voids
▶ Institutional activity: Institutional participants in CME futures markets pay attention to these gap areas
• Evidence of Support/Resistance Function:
▶ Statistical gap fill phenomenon: Most gaps eventually "fill" (price returns to gap area)
▶ Gap-based reactions: Increased frequency of price reactions (bounces/rejections) when reaching gap areas
▶ Market psychology impact: Influences traders' perceived value and fair price assessment
─────────────────────────────────────
◆ Advanced Configuration Options
■ Visualization Settings
• Show Gap Labels (Default: On)
▶ On: Displays price ranges of each gap numerically for precise support/resistance level identification
▶ Off: Hides labels for visual cleanliness
• Color Settings
▶ Filled Gap Color: Gray tones, shows gaps already traversed by price
▶ Unfilled Gap Color - Support: Blue, shows gaps currently acting as support
▶ Unfilled Gap Color - Resistance: Red, shows gaps currently acting as resistance
■ Data Management Settings
• Filled Gap Storage Limit (Default: 10)
▶ Sets maximum number of filled gaps to retain on chart
▶ Recommended settings: Short-term traders (5-8), Swing traders (8-12), Position traders (10-15)
• Maximum Gap Retention Period (Default: 12 months)
▶ Sets period after which old unfilled gaps are automatically removed
▶ Recommended settings: Short-term analysis (3-6 months), Medium-term analysis (6-12 months), Long-term analysis (12-24 months)
─────────────────────────────────────
◆ Synergy with Other Indicators
• Volume Profile: Greatly increased reaction probability when CME gaps align with Volume Profile value areas
• Fibonacci Retracements: Formation of powerful reaction zones when major Fibonacci levels coincide with gap areas
• Moving Averages: Areas where major moving averages overlap with CME gaps act as "composite support/resistance"
• Horizontal Support/Resistance: Very strong price reactions expected when historical key price levels align with CME gaps
• Market Sentiment Indicators (RSI/MACD): Assess reaction probability by checking oversold/overbought conditions when price approaches gap areas
─────────────────────────────────────
◆ Conclusion
The 52SIGNAL RECIPE CME Gap Support & Resistance Detector is not merely a gap display tool, but an advanced analytical tool that visualizes important support/resistance areas where price may strongly react, using intuitive color codes (blue=support, red=resistance). It detects all types of gaps without omission, whether from weekend and holiday closures, weekday 1-hour maintenance periods, important economic indicator releases, or market shock situations.
The core value of this indicator lies in clearly expressing through intuitive color coding that gaps are not simple price discontinuities, but psychological support/resistance areas that significantly influence future price action. Traders can instantly identify areas where blue gaps act as support and red gaps act as resistance, enabling quick and effective decision-making.
By referencing the color codes when price approaches gap areas to predict possible price reactions, and especially interpreting color transition moments (blue→red or red→blue) as signals of important market sentiment changes and integrating them into trading strategies, traders can capture higher-probability trading opportunities.
─────────────────────────────────────
※ Disclaimer: Like all trading tools, the CME Gap Detector should be used as a supplementary indicator and not relied upon alone for trading decisions. Past gap reaction patterns cannot guarantee the same behavior in the future. Always use appropriate risk management strategies.

◆ 기술적 기반
■ CME 갭의 발생 원리
• 주요 갭 발생 상황:
▶ 주말 휴장 (금요일 종가 → 월요일 시가): 가장 일반적인 CME 갭 형성 시점
▶ 공휴일 휴장: 미국 공휴일에 따른 CME 휴장 시 발생
▶ 평일 1시간 휴장: CME 시장의 일일 정비 시간(16:00~17:00 CT) 동안 발생
▶ 주요 경제지표 발표: 미 고용지표, FOMC 결정, CPI 등 발표 시 급격한 가격 변동으로 인한 갭
▶ 중요 뉴스 이벤트: 규제 발표, 지정학적 이벤트, 시장 충격 등으로 인한 급격한 가격 변화
• 갭의 심리적 중요성:
▶ 가격 형성이 이루어지지 않은 구간으로, 매수/매도 세력의 불균형 영역
▶ 갭 구간에는 실제 거래가 없었기 때문에 잠재적 주문이 누적되는 영역
▶ 기관 투자자들의 선물 포지션과 유동성 분포가 반영된 중요한 가격 레벨
■ 지지/저항으로 작용하는 원리
• 심리적 레벨 형성 메커니즘:
▶ 갭 구간의 미실행 주문 축적: 갭 발생 시 해당 가격대에 대한 주문 기회 상실
▶ 유동성 불균형: 갭 구간에는 거래가 없었으므로 유동성 공백 발생
▶ 기관 투자자 활동: CME 선물 시장의 기관 참여자들은 이러한 갭 영역에 관심
• 지지/저항 작용 증거:
▶ 통계적 갭 필 현상: 대부분의 갭은 미래에 "매꿔짐"(가격이 갭 구간으로 회귀)
▶ 갭 기반 반응: 갭 영역에 도달 시 가격 반응(반등/거부) 발생 빈도 증가
▶ 시장 심리 영향: 트레이더들의 인지된 가치와 공정가격 평가에 영향

Sweep Swing Screener [TradingFinder]🔵 Introduction
Understanding how liquidity forms and how price reacts around key structural levels is essential for identifying precise, low-risk entry points. The Sweep Swing Screener is a specialized tool developed to continuously monitor market activity and detect liquidity sweeps, reaction zones, and valid confirmation candles across various trading instruments and timeframes.
This tool can be applied both to scan multiple symbols at once and to analyze all timeframes of a specific asset for potential reversal points. It begins by identifying a clear swing point, whether a swing high or a swing low, and then outlines a reaction zone between that level and either the highest or lowest value of the swing candle's open or close.
If the price revisits this zone, performs a liquidity grab, and prints an indecision candle like a doji or a narrow-bodied bar that closes within the zone, this may indicate a rejection of the level and the failure of a breakout attempt. At that moment, depending on the context, the screener may identify a bullish or bearish reversal and generate a corresponding Long or Short signal.
By emphasizing accurate entry timing, alignment with institutional order flow, and avoidance of common traps, this approach highlights market areas where liquidity engineering, reversal probability, and price inefficiency come together. As a result, the Sweep Swing Screener becomes a valuable part of any trader’s toolkit, particularly for those who rely on price action and liquidity logic to drive their decisions. It allows traders to focus on clean, actionable setups without getting lost in noise or misleading breakouts.
🔵 How to Use
The Sweep Swing Screener is designed to track market structure in real time and alert users when conditions for a potential reversal are present. Its methodology combines liquidity behavior with swing analysis and candle confirmation, all within predefined reaction zones.
To better understand this logic, consider a basic market flow where a swing high or low forms, followed by a return to that level. If the price sweeps the previous extreme and forms a confirming candle within the reaction zone, a signal is issued.
🟣 Long Signal
To identify a long setup, the screener looks for a valid swing low, often a level below which sell-side liquidity is likely to be clustered. Once found, it defines a reaction zone from the swing low to the lowest point between the candle’s open and close.
If the price returns to this area and creates a lower wick that extends beneath the swing low, the tool checks whether the price manages to close back inside the range, rejecting the breakdown. This indicates absorption of selling pressure and failure to sustain the move lower.
The screener then waits for a confirmation candle to appear. Typically, this is a doji or other small-bodied candle that closes inside the zone. If these conditions are met, the screener records a Long signal for that asset and, if enabled, sends a notification to alert the user.
🟣 Short Signal
For bearish setups, the screener begins by identifying a valid swing high, which usually marks a level where buy-side liquidity is concentrated. It then creates a reaction zone from the swing high to the highest point between the candle’s open and close.
When price returns to this level, sweeps above the swing high, and then fails to close higher, it may signal the presence of a bull trap and early exhaustion in the upward move.
A confirmation candle, usually a doji or a rejection bar that closes back within the zone, is then required. Once that occurs, the screener marks the asset with a Short signal and optionally sends a real-time alert to the user.
This type of setup helps highlight potential institutional sell zones, offering insight into where price is likely to reverse following a liquidity event.

🔵 Conclusion
The Sweep Swing Screener provides a systematic method for identifying potential reversal zones by combining price structure, liquidity behavior, and candle-based confirmation. In markets that are often noisy and full of failed breakouts, focusing on these three elements helps clarify directional bias and supports more confident decision-making.
With the ability to scan multiple symbols and timeframes efficiently, this tool allows traders to stay focused on high-quality setups without the need to manually sift through dozens of charts. The inclusion of optional alerts further enhances its utility by offering timely updates when criteria are met.
By moving away from reactive strategies and toward structural anticipation, this screener supports traders who align their methods with institutional logic and the mechanics of smart money.

PoiBox# PoiBox: Advanced Market Structure and POI Visualization Tool
PoiBox is a comprehensive market structure analysis tool designed to identify high-probability trading zones through advanced internal market structure (IDM) detection and points of interest (POI) calculation.
## How It Works
The indicator uses a multi-step approach to analyze price action:
1. **Market Structure Identification**: The script identifies significant highs and lows within your selected time range to determine the overall market structure direction (up or down).
2. **IDM Pattern Detection**: It then analyzes internal market structure patterns within this range, focusing on significant price movements that create trading opportunities.
3. **POI Calculation**: Using adaptive ATR measurements across multiple timeframes, the indicator calculates precise POI zones where price is likely to react. These zones are calibrated based on the volatility profile of each identified structure.
4. **Timeframe Correlation**: The script automatically determines which timeframe best matches each structure's size, providing valuable context for your trading decisions.
5. **Technical Implementation**: The indicator uses a sophisticated algorithm to analyze price swings, identify pivot points, and calculate market structure connections. It maintains a database of significant highs/lows and uses these to determine trend direction and potential reversal zones.
## Display Modes
PoiBox offers three powerful display options:
- **Main BOS**: Shows only the most significant breakout structure with its associated POI zone
- **Leg**: Displays the largest price leg within the selected range along with percentage-based POI zones
- **All IDMs**: Reveals all detected internal market structures and their POI zones
## Advanced Features
- **QM Mode**: Visualizes important market structure relationships with dashed lines connecting significant highs and lows
- **Trick Display**: Identifies nested market structures (tricks) within larger patterns, perfect for precision entries
- **Customizable POI Labels**: Control which price labels appear to maintain chart clarity
- **Extensive Color Settings**: Fully customizable colors for all visual elements
- **Safety Functions**: Includes built-in buffer management and error prevention algorithms to ensure stable performance across all timeframes and market conditions
## Trading Examples
**Downtrend Example:**
When PoiBox identifies a downtrend structure (Higher High → High → Low → Lower Low), it creates POI zones based on the market structure. As shown in the chart, these zones provide excellent entry opportunities when price returns to test previous structure. In this example, entering at the red POI zone with a stop above the zone and target at the QM level resulted in a 3.45 risk/reward trade.
**How to Read QM Lines:**
The dashed lines connecting High → Low → Higher High → Lower Low reveal the market's true structure. These connections help you anticipate where price might head next. When price breaks below a significant Low and creates a Lower Low, it confirms the downtrend continuation and provides a trading opportunity when price retests the broken structure.
**POI Zone Interpretation:**
- Red zones indicate bearish POI areas (ideal for short entries)
- Green zones indicate bullish POI areas (ideal for long entries)
- Yellow zones highlight the identified market structure
## Practical Application Example
In the GBP/USD example shown in the chart:
1. PoiBox identified a downtrend structure with Higher High → High → Low → Lower Low
2. The yellow box shows the main market structure area
3. The red POI zone appeared when price returned to test previous structure
4. Entry was taken at the POI zone with stop loss above structure
5. Target was placed at the QM level, resulting in a 3.45 risk/reward ratio trade
6. The dashed QM lines showed the overall market flow and direction
This demonstrates how PoiBox automatically identifies optimal entry and exit points based on market structure, without requiring manual analysis of each price swing.
## Mathematical Approach
PoiBox uses several mathematical concepts to determine market structure and calculate POI zones:
1. **Adaptive ATR Integration**: The script analyzes ATR (Average True Range) across multiple timeframes (M1, M5, M15, H1, H4, D1, W1, MN1) to determine the appropriate volatility context for each structure.
2. **Height-to-ATR Ratio**: The indicator calculates the ratio between structure height and the closest matching ATR value to determine the structure's timeframe context.
3. **Dynamic POI Calculation**: POI values are calculated using the formula:
`POI = factor * (atr_trigger + atr_double_trigger)`
where `factor` is derived from the structure's height-to-ATR ratio.
4. **Self-Adjusting Limits**: If the calculated POI value exceeds certain thresholds relative to structure height, the script automatically applies proportional adjustments to maintain optimal zone sizing.
## What Makes PoiBox Unique
While many indicators use common concepts like support/resistance or trend analysis, PoiBox stands apart through its:
1. **Adaptive POI Calculation**: Unlike static indicators, PoiBox automatically calibrates POI zones based on each market structure's volatility profile by analyzing ATR across multiple timeframes.
2. **Smart Timeframe Detection**: The indicator automatically determines the most relevant timeframe for each structure, eliminating guesswork and helping you align your trading with the appropriate market cycles.
3. **QM Visualization System**: Our proprietary QM visualization method reveals hidden market structure relationships that standard indicators cannot detect, giving you an edge in anticipating price movements.
4. **Nested Pattern Recognition**: The "Trick" detection feature identifies high-probability setups where smaller patterns form within larger ones, creating precise entry opportunities missed by conventional tools.
5. **Self-Adjusting Analysis**: PoiBox dynamically adapts to changing market conditions without requiring manual parameter adjustments, saving you time and increasing accuracy.
These innovations combine to create a truly original trading system that transforms complex market structure concepts into clear, actionable signals.
## How To Use
1. Define your analysis area using the time range selectors (X1 and X2)
2. Choose your preferred display mode based on your trading style
3. Enable QM Mode for additional market structure context if needed
4. Use the POI zones as potential entry and exit areas for your trades
5. Reference the automatically detected timeframe indicators to align your trading with the appropriate timeframe

COT3 - Flip Strength Index - Invincible3This indicator uses the TradingView COT library to visualize institutional positioning and potential sentiment or trend shifts. It compares the long% vs short% of commercial and non-commercial traders for both Pair A and Pair B, helping traders identify trend strength, market overextension, and early reversal signals.
🔷 COT RSI
The COT RSI normalizes the net positioning difference between non-commercial and commercial traders over (N=13, 26, and 52)-week periods. It ranges from 0 to 100, highlighting when sentiment is at bullish or bearish extremes.
COT RSI (N)= ((NC - C)−min)/(max-min) x100
🟡 COT Index
The COT Index tracks where the current non-commercial net position lies within its 1-year and 3-year historical range. It reflects institutional accumulation or distribution phases.
Strength represents the magnitude of that positioning bias, visualized through normalized RSI-style metrics.
COT Index (N)= (NC net)/(max-min) x100
🔁 Flip Detection
Flip refers to the crossovers between long% and short%, indicating a change in directional bias among trader groups. When long positions exceed shorts (or vice versa), it signals a possible market flip in sentiment or trend.
For example, Pair B commercial flip is calculated as:
Long% = (Long/Open Interest)×100
Short% = (Short/Open Interest)×100
Flip = Long%−Short%
A bullish flip occurs when long% overtakes short%, and vice versa for a bearish flip. These flips often precede price trend changes or confirm sentiment breakouts.
Flip captures how far current positioning deviates from historical norms — highlighting periods of institutional overconfidence or exhaustion, often leading to significant market turns.
This combination offers a multi-layered edge for identifying when smart money is flipping direction, and whether that flip has strong conviction or is likely to fade.

Hidden SMT Divergence ICT 01 [TradingFinder] HSMT SMC Technique🔵 Introduction
Hidden SMT Divergence, an advanced concept within the Smart Money Technique (SMT), identifies discrepancies between correlated assets by focusing on their closing prices.
Unlike the standard SMT Divergence, which uses high and low prices for analysis, Hidden SMT Divergence uncovers subtle signals by examining divergences based on the assets' closing values.
These divergences often highlight potential reversals or trend continuations, making this technique a valuable tool for traders aiming to anticipate market movements.
This approach applies across various markets and asset classes, including :
Commodities : CAPITALCOM:GOLD vs. CAPITALCOM:SILVER or BLACKBULL:BRENT vs. BLACKBULL:WTI .

By identifying divergences within these asset groups, traders can gain actionable insights into potential market reversals or shifts in trend direction. Hidden SMT Divergence is particularly effective for pinpointing subtle market signals that traditional methods may overlook.
Bullish Hidden SMT Divergence : This divergence emerges when one asset forms a higher low, while the correlated asset creates a lower low in terms of their closing prices. It often signals weakening downward momentum and a potential reversal to the upside.
Bearish Hidden SMT Divergence : This occurs when one asset establishes a higher high, while the correlated asset forms a lower high based on their closing prices. It typically reflects declining upward momentum and a probable shift to the downside.
🔵 How to Use
The Hidden SMT Divergence indicator provides traders with a systematic approach to identify market reversals or trend continuations through divergences in closing prices between two correlated assets.
🟣 Bullish Hidden SMT Divergence
Bullish Hidden SMT Divergence occurs when the closing price of the primary asset forms a higher low, while the correlated asset creates a lower low. This pattern indicates weakening downward momentum and signals a potential reversal to the upside.
After identifying the divergence, confirm it using additional tools like support levels, volume trends, or indicators such as RSI and MACD. Enter a buy position as the price shows signs of reversal near support zones, ensuring proper risk management by placing a stop-loss below the support level.
Bearish Hidden SMT Divergence
Bearish Hidden SMT Divergence is identified when the closing price of the primary asset forms a higher high, while the correlated asset creates a lower high. This divergence suggests a weakening uptrend and a likely reversal to the downside.
Validate the signal by examining resistance levels, declining volume, or complementary indicators. Consider entering a sell position as the price starts declining from resistance levels, and set a stop-loss above the resistance zone to limit potential losses.
🔵 Setting
Second Symbol : Select the secondary asset to compare with the primary asset. By default, "XAUUSD" (Gold) is used, but it can be customized to any stock, cryptocurrency, or currency pair.
Divergence Fractal Periods : Defines the number of past candles considered for identifying divergences. The default value is 2, but traders can adjust it for greater precision.

ICTProTools | ICT Insight - Market Environment🚀 INTRODUCTION
The Market Environment Indicator provides traders with an essential contextual framework for analyzing price movements. Built on the principles of ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Smart Money Concepts (SMC), this tool offers a structured view of how institutional players drive markets through liquidity manipulation and price level interactions. By defining the market environment, the indicator helps traders focus on the most relevant price zones, reducing distractions and enhancing decision-making.
At its core, the Interbank Dealing Range (IBDR) creates a clear structure of protected highs/lows and Premium/Discount zones , highlighting key areas for potential price reactions. This framework gives traders a lens to interpret market behavior and concentrate on meaningful liquidity zones and price action. The indicator helps traders navigate the market with precision, spotting significant opportunities while filtering out market noise. Indeed, the IBDR isn't always easily identifiable, and not every move will form a distinct dealing range.
This indicator goes beyond mere price levels… It reveals the larger market context in which prices evolve. By mastering this environment, traders can align their strategies with institutional logic and make well-informed decisions.
💎 FEATURES
The Interbank Dealing Range (IBDR) is a crucial concept within the ICT methodology that helps traders identify the market environment across multiple timeframes, specifically the premium and discount zones. The IBDR delineates areas where traders have the potential to buy low and sell high.
Its extremes are defined by the sweep of both buy-side and sell-side liquidity . These levels indicate the boundaries within which price is expected to evolve . Understanding these boundaries allows traders to determine where it is appropriate to enter or exit trades.
The primary goal of utilizing the IBDR is to capitalize on price movements by buying at discounted levels and selling at premium levels. This strategy aligns with the fundamental principle of trading: to buy at lower prices and sell at higher prices, maximizing profit potential.
By visualizing the IBDR on your charts, you can gain valuable insights into the prevailing market conditions and make informed trading decisions that align with the institutional approach to buying and selling.
This chart illustrates the Interbank Dealing Range (IBDR) applied to the US100 index, displaying two from different timeframes: a 1-hour (1h) IBDR on the left and a 30-minute (30m) IBDR on the right. This multi-timeframe view provides essential context for price action analysis.
The 1h IBDR could here function as the primary reference range, establishing key boundaries (High and Low) for price movement. Within this range, the Equilibrium (midpoint) separates the Premium zone (above) from the Discount zone (below). The 0.25 and 0.75 levels add further precision by subdividing these zones.
Price action then flows between these zones, creating and targeting liquidity at higher and lower levels through Relative Equal Highs and Lows. A strong upward movement into the deeper level of the Premium Zone captures high-side liquidity (with a notable reaction at the FVG on the left), forming a secondary 30m IBDR. After this liquidity sweep, the remaining liquidity is on the low side. Price then reverses downward toward it. Here, the 30m IBDR would suggest a confirmation for a potential sell entry by targeting the IBDR lows.
The relationship between the broader 1h IBDR, the more detailed 30m IBDR, and all related levels creates a powerful analytical framework. The larger timeframe provides context, while the smaller one reveals specific trading opportunities by providing entry confirmations.
✨ SETTINGS
IBDR Metrics: Adjust the timeframe and sensitivity for calculating the IBDR so traders can adapt the indicator to both short-term intraday movements and longer-term trends.
Premium/Discount Zones: Customize the levels such as 0, 0.5, 1, and other levels like 0.25 and 0.75 by default and their displayed colors and associated labels.
Alerts: Configure the alerts for Premium/Discount zones, High/Low breaks, and new IBDR, ensuring traders are kept up to date on key market events.
🎯 CONCLUSION
The Market Environment indicator serves as a powerful tool for analyzing and navigating market structure through liquidity zones. It helps identify optimal buy and sell areas while aligning with the institutional logic of major market players. While its features provide a valuable edge, it’s essential to remember that none should be used on its own, and many more factors go into being a profitable trader.
Change in State of Delivery CISD ICT [TradingFinder] Liquidity 1🔵 Introduction
🟣 What is CISD ?
Change in State of Delivery (CISD) is a key concept in technical analysis, similar to Change of Character (ChoCh) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Smart Money trading styles. Like ChoCh and MSS, CISD helps traders identify critical changes in market structure and make timely entries into trades.
To determine the CISD Level, traders typically review the last 1 to 4 candles to identify the first positive or negative candle. The CISD Level is then set using the opening price of the next candle.
In this version of the indicator, support and resistance levels are defined based on liquidity, which includes patterns such as SFP (Swing Failure Pattern), fake breakout, and false breakout.
Bullish CISD :
Bearish CISD :
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Bullish CISD (Change in State of Delivery Upward)
In Bullish CISD, the trend shifts from bearish to bullish after the price hits a liquidity zone, typically indicated by patterns such as SFP, fake breakout, or false breakout.
The steps to identify Bullish CISD are as follow s:
Identify the liquidity zone (SFP, fake breakout).
Review the candles and find the first positive candle.
Set the CISD Level using the opening price of the next candle after the positive candle.
Confirm the change in state of delivery when the price closes above the CISD Level.
Enter the trade after CISD confirmation.
🟣 Bearish CISD (Change in State of Delivery Downward)
In Bearish CISD, the trader looks for a shift from a bullish to a bearish trend. This change typically occurs when the price hits a liquidity level, indicated by patterns such as SFP or false breakout.
The steps to identify Bearish CISD are :
Identify the liquidity zone.
Review the candles and find the first negative candle.
Set the CISD Level using the opening price of the next candle after the negative candle.
Confirm the change in state of delivery when the price closes below the CISD Level.
Enter a short trade after CISD confirmation.
🟣 CISD Compared to ChoCh and MSS (CISD Vs ChoCh/ MSS)
CISD, ChoCh, and MSS are all tools for identifying trend changes in the market, but they have some differences :
CISD: Focuses on a change in the state of delivery and uses liquidity patterns (SFP, fake breakout) and key candles to confirm trend reversals.
ChoCh: Identifies a change in the market’s character, often signaling rapid shifts in trend direction.
MSS: Focuses on changes in market structure and identifies the breaking of key levels as a signal of trend shifts.

🔵 Conclusion
CISD is a powerful tool for identifying trend reversals using liquidity patterns and key candle analysis. Traders can use the CISD Level to detect trend changes and find optimal entry and exit points.
This concept is similar to ChoCh and MSS but stands out with its focus on confirming trend changes through liquidity and specific patterns. With the right approach, CISD helps traders capitalize on market movements more effectively.
SMC Orderblocks (MTF)The SMC Orderblocks Indicator is designed to detect institutional orderblocks by focusing on price action and pattern detection, with a strong emphasis on identifying liquidity grabs.
This tool helps traders pinpoint areas where significant institutional trades are likely to occur by assuming the presence of orderblocks based on observed market behavior.
Unlike other indicators that may rely heavily on volume, the SMC Orderblocks Indicator offers a fresh approach rooted in a deep study of price action and Smart Money Concepts (SMC).
🔍 Unique Approach
Unlike other orderblock indicators that typically depend on volume to detect orderblocks (a common and valid method), the SMC Orderblocks Indicator explores a new approach. After extensive study and understanding of price action and SMC principles, this indicator focuses on market behavior to assume where institutional orderblocks might be. This approach offers traders a unique perspective and valuable insights, allowing them to view the market through a different lens.
🧠 The Theory Behind It
In trading, liquidity is essential for institutions and large market participants to execute their substantial orders. Orders tend to cluster around predictable levels, such as recent highs or lows, creating pools of liquidity. To secure better entry points for their large trades, institutions and market makers may manipulate prices to sweep these liquidity levels. The SMC Orderblocks Indicator is designed to detect these market manipulations—when price moves to capture liquidity—and uses these events to assume the presence of orderblocks at key levels. By recognizing these manipulations, the indicator provides insights into potential areas of significant institutional activity.
⚙️ How It Works
In order to make it work, there are two big essentail parts for this indicator. The first one is being able to identify liquidity areas. The second one is to detect the liquidity grab pattern.
1. Identifying Liquidity
So, in order to find market manipulations, mainly "liquidity grabs", the first thing we need is to find where the liquidity is.
Here "liquidity", refers to "orders", and only the exchange actually knows at what price orders are placed. The limit orders are visible in the order book and most of the time the exchange let this information be publicly accessed. But not all orders are in the orderbook. The stop-limit orders like stop-loss orders are added in the orderbook only when the market price reaches a certain price (the stop price).
At present, when using a chart script like Pinescript, there is no known way to access this real information.
But fortunately, traders and institutional behavior stay the same. Traders tend to place their orders at predictable levels, like above highs or below lows. They can also be near inducement areas, specifically created by institutions to induce traders to place their orders at certain levels.
So, the job of the indicator is first to find these levels, regardless of the method used. In the previous version of this script, I used pivots to detect highs and lows, but this method was lacking when it came to finding inducement zones or stacks of liquidity.
Instead, the indicator now uses a new method to check whether there is a stack of non-liquidated candles. This method allows the detection of inducement zones with unliquidated candles. When the stack reaches a certain number (by default, three), the liquidity is marked as valid for sweep detection.
Note: When using the indicator, you can enable the display of liquidity (to see mitigated and unmitigated liquidity) and their stack number.
2. Detecting a Liquidity sweep
Once the first and key part is done, we need to detect the market manipulation: the liquidity grabs. Liquidity grab patterns are always the same. In the following example, let's assume the institutions want to fill sell orders in a bearish market. Here are the steps they will likely take:
- 1. The institutionals place their main orders (the orderblock) at a desired price.
- 2. They let the liquidity accumulate next to that desired price. They can even induce traders to place their own orders there. The will serve as liquidity.
- 3. Institutionals will manipulate the market price to move it towards their awaiting orders to fill them. Once that price is reach, and their orders are being filled, the market price will start moving in the opposite direction.
- 4. The grab is confirmed, when the liquidity in that oppsiite direction is grabed, or simply when the bearish market trend resumes by breaking the lows, along with additional confirmations
Sometimes, institutions will have two opposite positions in the same asset—one short and one long. This is called hedging. The goal here is to use the long orders to push the market price towards the main sell orders. Once the sell orders are filled and the market price starts falling, they may try to push it up again to close their long position with minimal loss and finally let the price fall for good.
It is at that moment that it is best to enter the market. This is why, by default, the indicator will display when the price starts moving upward towards the liquidity grab: because it's where the manipulation started and where the price is likely to reach again before resuming the main trend.
Real-Time Visualization:
As soon as an "orderblock" (or market manipulation) is detected, the indicator will display it on the chart in real time.
This immediate visualization helps traders stay ahead and catch the main market move.
💡 Usage Tips
Apply the script to your chart. This is a price-action based script so it will work on most markets. You do not need to edit settings but you can adjust them to match your trading style.
To get the most out of the SMC Orderblocks Indicator, it’s recommended to use it alongside other analysis tools, espacially market structure indicators. You can try the free-to-use SMC Market Structure (MTF) to filter the interesting orderblocks.
Additionnaly, if you search liquidity areas to set as your trade's target, you can enable their display to see mitigated and unmitigated liquidity lines. The display is disabled by default to keep charts clean.
While the indicator helps detect potential institutional orderblocks based on liquidity grabs, combining its insights with your trading knowledge and other tools will enhance decision-making.
⚠️ Disclaimer
While this method provides useful information, the orderblocks can only be assumed based on market behavior. Moreover, given how the indicator works, the accuracy cannot be guaranteed. It's important to combine the indicator's information with your own experience and other confirmation methods.
Orderblocks are also time-sensitive. The fact that an orderblock was detected and displayed on the chart does not guarantee that orders will still be present when the price returns to that level. If too much time has elapsed since the orderblock was created, or if the market structure has changed, it may be wise to disregard it. Always seek additional confirmation before opening a position.
The theory presented here on how institutional orderblocks are made, and how the market may be manipulated to fill orders, is based on my own research, knowledge, and analysis. Since I have never worked within an institution, these are educated assumptions and could be incorrect. Please always do your own research.

ICT Single Candle Order Block (SCOB) [UAlgo]The "ICT Single Candle Order Block (SCOB) " designed for traders who utilize the concept of Order Blocks in their trading strategy. Order Blocks are significant price levels where institutions or smart money have placed their trades, leading to potential future price reactions when these levels are revisited. This indicator focuses on identifying and highlighting Single Candle Order Blocks (SCOBs), allowing traders to visually analyze key price levels on their charts.
🔶 What is Single Candle Order Block (SCOB) ?
A Single Candle Order Block (SCOB) is a specific type of Order Block that is identified based on a single candlestick pattern. These patterns indicate potential areas where significant buying or selling interest has occurred, often leading to a notable price reaction when revisited. In the context of this indicator, a bullish SCOB is identified when a specific bullish candlestick pattern is met, and a bearish SCOB is identified based on a bearish candlestick pattern.
Bullish SCOB: Detected when the open price of two bars ago is higher than its close, the close price of the previous bar is higher than its open, the current close price is higher than the open, the low of the previous bar is lower than the low of two bars ago, and the current close is higher than the high of the previous bar.
Bearish SCOB: Detected when the open price of two bars ago is lower than its close, the close price of the previous bar is lower than its open, the current close price is lower than the open, the high of the previous bar is higher than the high of two bars ago, and the current close is lower than the low of the previous bar.
🔶 Key Features
Show Single Candle Order Block (SCOB): Toggle the visibility of the Single Candle Order Blocks on the chart.
Mitigation Method: Choose between "Close" and "Wick" methods for determining whether a SCOB has been mitigated (price has interacted with the block).
Show Last X SCOBs: Control the number of most recent SCOBs displayed on the chart, allowing you to focus on the most relevant price levels.
Volatility Filter: Enable or disable the volatility filter, which uses the Average True Range (ATR) to filter out less significant SCOBs. When enabled, only SCOBs with an ATR above the mean value of the ATR are displayed.

Market Structures + ZigZag [TradingFinder] CHoCH/BOS - MSS/MSB🟣 Introduction
🔵 Market Structure
Grasping market structure entails examining market behavior. Essentially, market structure refers to the formation and progression of the market within its trends.
Market structures are generally fractal and nested, leading us to classify them into internal (minor) and external (major) structures. There are several definitions of market structure, with differing perspectives such as Smart Money and ICT offering their own interpretations.
🔵 Zig Zag
The Zigzag indicator is a lagging tool that identifies points on a price chart where significant changes occur compared to the previous wave. By connecting these points, it helps traders detect trends.
This indicator minimizes random price fluctuations, aiming to clarify the primary price trend.
Pivots are points on a price chart where the direction changes. Also known as reversal points, pivots form when supply and demand forces overpower one another.
There are various types of technical analysis pivots, which can be divided into two categories: minor pivots and major pivots, each with distinct significance in analysis.
Major Pivot : These pivots signify substantial changes in the chart's direction and occur at the end of trends. Analysts focusing on primary analysis prioritize major pivot points. In fact, most technical analysis tools are evaluated and based on major pivots.
Minor Pivot : These pivots highlight smaller, subsidiary points and directions, appearing at the end of corrections. Analysts who focus on minor pivots represent small trends. It's important to note that minor pivots are not suitable for use in primary technical tools.
Identifying Minor and Major Pivots :
Minor pivots are formed between two major pivots and do not break the opposing major pivot. (Internal Pivot)
Major pivots are those that either successfully break the opposing pivot or move beyond the previous pivot of the same type. (External Pivot)
🟣 How to Use
🔵 Identifying Break of Structure (BOS)
In a given trend, such as a downtrend, a Break of Structure occurs when the price drops below the previous low and forms a new low (LL). In an uptrend, a BOS (MSB) happens when the price rises and exceeds the last high.
To confirm a trend, at least one BOS is required. The break above or below the previous high or low must be validated by the closing of at least one candle beyond that level.
🔵 Identifying Change of Character (CHOCH)
Change of Character (CHOCH) is an essential concept in market structure analysis, indicating a trend change. In other words, a trend concludes with a CHOCH (MSS). For example, in a downtrend, the price declines with BOS.
While BOS highlights the trend's strength, a CHOCH occurs when the price rises and surpasses the last high, signaling a transition from a downtrend to an uptrend.
This does not imply immediately entering a buy trade; instead, it is prudent to wait for a BOS in the upward direction to confirm the uptrend.
Unlike BOS, confirming a CHOCH does not require a candle to close; simply breaking above or below the previous high or low with the candle's wick is sufficient. The following examples illustrate bearish and bullish CHOCH.
Terms :
Market Structure Shift = MSS
Market Structure Break = MSB
🔵 Zig Zag
Based on identifying pivots and drawing zigzag lines, you can have different uses of this indicator.
Including :
Identifying pivot types along with major and minor recognition.
Identifying internal and external breakouts.
Identifying support and resistance levels.
Identifying Elliott Waves.
Identifying classic patterns.
Identifying pivots with higher validity.
Identifying trends and range areas.
🟣 Settings

Through the settings, you can customize the display, visibility, and color of each line as desired.
ICT Balance Price Range [UAlgo]The "ICT Balance Price Range " indicator identifies and visualizes potential balance price ranges (BPRs) on a price chart. These ranges are indicative of periods where the market exhibits balance between bullish and bearish forces, often preceding significant price movements.
🔶 What is Balanced Price Range (BPR) ?
Balanced Price Range is a concept based on Fair Value Gap. Balanced price range (BPR) is the area on price chart where two opposite fair value gaps overlap.
When price approaches the Balanced Price Range (BPR), we assume that the price will react quickly and strongly here. This is because its the combination of two fair value gaps and being a good point of interest for smart money traders.
🔶 Key Features:
Bars to Consider: Determines the number of bars to evaluate for BPR conditions.
Threshold for BPR: Sets the minimum range required for a valid BPR to be identified.
Remove Old BPR: Option to automatically remove invalidated BPRs from the chart.
Bearish/Bullish Box Color: Customizable colors for visual representation of bearish and bullish BPRs.
🔶 Disclaimer
This indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only.
It should not be considered as financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any financial instrument.
The use of this indicator involves inherent risks, and users should employ their own judgment and conduct their own research before making any trading decisions. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Fair Value Gaps Setup 01 [TradingFinder] FVG Absorption + CHoCH🔵 Introduction
🟣 Market Structures
Market structures exhibit a fractal and nested nature, which leads us to classify them into internal (minor) and external (major) categories. Definitions of market structure vary, with different methodologies such as Smart Money and ICT offering distinct interpretations.
To identify market structure, the initial step involves examining key highs and lows. An uptrend is characterized by successive highs and lows that are higher than their predecessors. Conversely, a downtrend is marked by successive lows and highs that are lower than their previous counterparts.
🟣 Market Trends and Movements
Market trends consist of two primary types of movements :
Impulsive Movements : These movements align with the main trend and are characterized by high strength and momentum.
Corrective Movements : These movements counter the main trend and are marked by lower strength and momentum.
🟣 Break of Structure (BOS)
In a downtrend, a Break of Structure (BOS) occurs when the price falls below the previous low and establishes a new low (LL). In an uptrend, a BOS, also known as a Market Structure Break (MSB), happens when the price rises above the last high.
To confirm a trend, at least one BOS is necessary, which requires the price to close at least one candle beyond the previous high or low.
🟣 Change of Character (CHOCH)
Change of Character (CHOCH) is a crucial concept in market structure analysis, indicating a shift in trend. A trend concludes with a CHOCH, also referred to as a Market Structure Shift (MSS).
For example, in a downtrend, the price continues to drop with BOS, showcasing the trend's strength. However, when the price rises and exceeds the last high, a CHOCH occurs, signaling a potential transition from a downtrend to an uptrend.
It is essential to note that a CHOCH does not immediately indicate a buy trade. Instead, it is prudent to wait for a BOS in the upward direction to confirm the uptrend. Unlike BOS, a CHOCH confirmation does not require a candle to close; merely breaking the previous high or low with the candle's wick is sufficient.
🟣 Spike | Inefficiency | Imbalance
All these terms mean fast price movement in the shortest possible time.
🟣 Fair Value Gap (FVG)
To pinpoint the "Fair Value Gap" (FVG) on a chart, a detailed candle-by-candle analysis is necessary. This process involves focusing on candles with substantial bodies and evaluating them in relation to the candles immediately before and after them.
Here are the steps :
Identify the Central Candle : Look for a candle with a large body.
Examine Adjacent Candles : The candles before and after this central candle should have long shadows, and their bodies must not overlap with the body of the central candle.
Determine the FVG Range : The distance between the shadows of the first and third candles defines the FVG range.
This method helps in accurately identifying the Fair Value Gap, which is crucial for understanding market inefficiencies and potential price movements.
🟣 Setup
This setup is based on Market Structure and FVG. After a change of character and the formation of FVG in the last lag of the price movement, we are looking for trading positions in the price pullback.

Order blocks are a distinct category of "Supply and Demand" zones, formed when a series of orders are grouped together. These blocks are often created by banks or other significant market participants.
Banks typically execute large orders in blocks during their trading sessions. If they were to enter the market with small quantities, substantial price movements would occur before the orders were fully executed, reducing potential profit.
To mitigate this, they divide their orders into smaller, more manageable positions. Traders should seek "buy" opportunities in "demand order blocks" and "sell" opportunities in "supply order blocks."
🟣 Fair Value Gap (FVG)
To pinpoint the "Fair Value Gap" on the chart, meticulous candle-by-candle analysis is essential. Pay close attention to candles with significant bodies, examining each candle alongside the one preceding it.
The candles flanking this central candle should exhibit elongated shadows, with bodies that do not intersect the body of the central candle. The span between the shadows of the first and third candles is referred to as the FVG range.
Note :
The origin of all Order Blocks and FVGs starts from inside a kill zone and extends up to the end of the same session.
🟣 Kill Zone Hunt
Following this strategy, after the conclusion of the kill zone and the stabilization of its high and low lines, if the price touches either of these lines within the same session and encounters a robust rejection, it presents an opportunity to enter a trade.
