Understanding Order Blocks (OBs) - The ICT Perspective
This document delves into the concept of Order Blocks (OBs) from the perspective of the ICT methodology. It outlines what OBs are, their significance in trading, and how the "ICT Order Blocks v2 (Refined)" indicator functions to identify and visualize these critical price levels. By understanding OBs, traders can better navigate market movements and make informed decisions based on institutional trading behavior.
What is an Order Block (OB)?
Within ICT methodology, an Order Block represents a specific price candle where significant buying or selling interest from institutions (Smart Money) is believed to have occurred. They are potential areas where price might return and react.
Bullish Order Block: Typically the last down-closing candle before a strong, impulsive upward move (displacement). It suggests institutions may have absorbed selling pressure and initiated long positions here.
Bearish Order Block: Typically the last up-closing candle before a strong, impulsive downward move (displacement). It suggests institutions may have distributed long positions or initiated short positions here.
Why are OBs Significant (ICT View)?
Institutional Footprint: They mark potential zones of large order execution.
Support/Resistance: Unmitigated OBs can act as sensitive price levels where reactions are expected. Bullish OBs may provide support; Bearish OBs may provide resistance.
Origin of Moves: They often mark the origin point of significant price swings.
Liquidity Engineering: Institutions might drive price back to OBs to mitigate earlier positions or to engineer liquidity before continuing a move.
Common Refinements
ICT often emphasizes higher probability OBs that are associated with:
Displacement: The move away from the OB is sharp and decisive.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs): An FVG forming immediately after the OB strengthens its validity.
OB Mitigation: This refers to price returning to the level of the Order Block after its formation. Price might react at the edge (proximal line) or the 50% level (mean threshold) of the OB. An OB is often considered fully mitigated or invalidated if price trades decisively through its entire range, especially with a candle body closing beyond it.
How the "ICT Order Blocks v2 (Refined)" Indicator Works
This indicator automates the detection and visualization of the most recent unmitigated Order Block of each type (Bullish/Bearish), incorporating optional filters.
Detection:
It looks at the relationship between the candle two bars ago ( ), the previous candle ( ), and potentially the current candle ( ).
Bullish OB: Identifies if candle was a down-close (close < open ) AND candle broke above the high of candle (high > high ).
Bearish OB: Identifies if candle was an up-close (close > open ) AND candle broke below the low of candle (low < low ).
Accuracy Filters (Optional Inputs):
These filters help identify potentially higher-probability OBs:
Require Fair Value Gap (FVG)?: If enabled, the indicator checks if an FVG formed immediately after the OB candle ( ). Specifically, it looks for a gap between candle and candle (low > high for Bullish OB confirmation, high < low for Bearish).
Require Strong Close Breakout?: If enabled, it requires the breakout candle ( ) to close beyond the range of the OB candle ( ). (close > high for Bullish, close < low for Bearish). This suggests stronger confirmation.
Storing the Most Recent OB:
When an OB is detected and passes any enabled filters, its details (high, low, formation bar index) are stored. Crucially, this indicator only tracks the single most recent valid unmitigated OB of each type (one Bullish, one Bearish) using var variables. If a newer valid OB forms, it replaces the previously stored one.
Drawing Boxes:
If a valid Bullish OB is being tracked (and Show Bullish OBs is enabled), it draws a box (box.new) using the high and low of the identified OB candle ( ). The same process applies to Bearish OBs (Show Bearish OBs enabled). The boxes automatically extend to the right (extend.right) and their right edge is updated on each new bar (box.set_right) until they are mitigated. Labels ("Bull OB" / "Bear OB") are displayed inside the boxes.
Mitigation & Box Deletion:
The indicator checks if the current closing price (close ) has moved entirely beyond the range of the tracked OB.
Mitigation Rule Used: A Bullish OB is considered mitigated if close < bull_ob_low. A Bearish OB is considered mitigated if close > bear_ob_high. Once an OB is marked as mitigated, the indicator stops tracking it and its corresponding box is automatically deleted (box.delete) from the chart.
This indicator provides a dynamic visualization of the most recent, potentially significant Order Blocks that meet the specified criteria, helping traders identify key areas of interest based on ICT principles.

Ranked Parabolic Curve Detector (Adaptive + Reversion Aware)The Parabolic Curve Detector is a smart, adaptable trading signal engine designed to help you spot true momentum — not the flashy head-fakes, but sustained, accelerating moves that have the potential to go parabolic. Whether you’re new to trading or looking to sharpen your edge, this tool combines a suite of time-tested and modern techniques into one unified signal, all while adjusting to changing market conditions.
The core idea is simple: detect when price is not just rising, but accelerating, like a curve bending upward. To do that, the script analyzes the log of price and calculates both:
Slope1: how fast the price is moving (momentum)
Slope2: how fast that momentum is changing (acceleration)
Over a user-defined number of bars (which amounts to sensitivity ), the script checks for consistency. So, for example, if both slope1 and slope2 have been positive for 4 bars, that’s a strong signal.
But it doesn’t stop there.
The key is weighted Intelligence
What makes this tool uniquely customizable is that each layer of signal logic is weighted:
Slope1 and Slope2: You can assign how much these matter (e.g., 60% for slope1, 20% for slope2)
Ichimoku Trend Filter: A bullish setup (Tenkan > Kijun) can contribute to the total score
RSI Context: The indicator checks for overextension (RSI > 70 and falling) and mean-reversion potential (RSI < 45 and rising), adjusting scores accordingly
You can fine-tune these weights to match your trading style — whether you prefer to catch early momentum, ride mature trends, or fade reversals.
Finally, there is adaptive Intelligence . This isn’t a static signal. The indicator auto-adjusts its strictness using:
Slope Flip Rate: If price changes direction frequently, the required bar count increases
Volatility (ATR): In volatile markets, the threshold for signal confirmation tightens to avoid noise
You can turn this adaptive behavior on or off. When enabled, it makes the script self-tuning across timeframes — more reactive on clean moves, more skeptical in chop.
How to Use It
Start on a log-scaled daily chart
Enable the indicator and optionally turn on Adaptive Sensitivity
Look for:
Green Circles = bullish signal with favorable RSI + trend
Orange Circles = still bullish, but possibly overextended
For bearish setups, enable Parabolic Drops in settings
I am still experimenting with it, so if you find a better way to use it, let us know!
My suggested tweaks :
sensitivity: 3–5 for normal, higher for stricter
signalThreshold: 0.7–0.85 depending on how picky you want to be
Weights for slope1/slope2/trend
RSI boost/penalty levels

Session Profile AnalyzerWhat’s This Thing Do?
Hey there, trader! Meet the Session Profile Analyzer (SPA) your new go-to pal for breaking down market action within your favorite trading sessions. It’s an overlay indicator that mixes Rotation Factor (RF), Average Subperiod Range (ASPR), Volume Value Area Range (VOLVAR), and TPO Value Area Range (TPOVAR) into one tidy little toolkit. Think of it as your market vibe checker momentum, volatility, and key levels, all served up with a grin.
The Cool Stuff It Does:
Rotation Factor (RF) : Keeps tabs on whether the market’s feeling bullish, bearish, or just chilling. It’s like a mood ring for price action shows “UP ↑,” “DOWN ↓,” or “NONE ↔.”
ASPR : Averages out the range of your chosen blocks. Big swings? Tiny wiggles? This tells you the session’s energy level.
VOLVAR : Dives into volume to find where the action’s at, with a smart twist it adjusts price levels based on the session’s size and tiny timeframe moves (capped at 128 so your chart doesn’t cry).
TPOVAR : Grabs lower timeframe data to spot where price hung out the most, TPO-style. Value zones, anyone?
Dynamic Precision : No ugly decimal overload SPA matches your asset’s style (2 decimals for BTC, 5 for TRX, you get it).
How to Play With It:
Session Start/End : Pick your trading window (say, 0930-2200) and a timezone (America/New_York, or wherever you’re at).
Block Size : Set the chunk size for RF and ASPR like 30M if you’re into half-hour vibes.
Value Area Timeframe : Go micro with something like 1S for VOLVAR and TPOVAR precision.
Label : Size it (small to huge), color it (white, neon pink, whatever), and slap it where you want (start, mid, end).
How It All Works (No PhD Required):
RF : Imagine breaking your session into blocks (via Block Size). For each block, SPA checks if the high beats the last high (+1) or not (0), and if the low dips below the last low (-1) or not (0). Add those up, and boom positive RF means upward vibes, negative means downward, near zero is “meh.” Use it to catch trends or spot when the market’s napping.
ASPR : Takes those same blocks, measures high-to-low range each time, and averages them. It’s your volatility pulse big ASPR = wild ride, small ASPR = snooze fest. Great for sizing up session action.
VOLVAR : Here’s the fun part. It takes the session’s full range (high minus low), divides it by the average range of your tiny Value Area Timeframe bars (e.g., 1S), and picks a sensible number of price levels capped at 128 so it doesn’t overthink. Then it bins volume into those levels, finds the busiest price (POC), and grows a 70% value area around it. Perfect for spotting where the big players parked their cash.
TPOVAR : Grabs midpoints from those tiny timeframe bars, sorts them, and snips off the top and bottom 15% to find the 70% “value zone” where price chilled the most. Think of it as the market’s comfort zone great for support/resistance hunting.
Why You’ll Like It:
Whether you’re scalping crypto, swinging forex, or dissecting stocks, SPA’s got your back. Use RF to catch momentum shifts like jumping on an “UP ↑” trend or fading a “DOWN ↓” exhaustion. ASPR’s your secret weapon for sizing up trades: a big ASPR (say, 100 on BTC) means you can aim for juicy targets (like 1-2x ASPR) or set invalidations tight when it’s tiny (e.g., 0.001 on TRX) to dodge chop. VOLVAR and TPOVAR are your level-finders nail those key zones where price loves to bounce or break, perfect for entries, stops, or profit grabs. It’s like having a trading co-pilot who’s chill but knows their stuff.
Heads-Up:
Load enough history for those micro timeframes to shine (1S needs some bars to work with).
Keeps things light won’t bog down your chart even with decent-sized sessions.
Let’s Roll:
Slap SPA on your chart, tweak it to your style, and watch it spill the beans on your session. Happy trading, fam may your pips be plenty and your losses few!
Dynamic Candle Range Point IndicatorThe "Dynamic Candle Range Point Indicator" (DCRPI) does two important jobs at once. For each candle on your chart, it shows you exactly how many points the price moved in two different ways:
1. At the top of each candle, you'll see how many points the price moved from open to close (the body range)
2. At the bottom, you'll see the total movement from the highest to lowest point (the full range)
The really smart part is how it colors the borders of candles based on how much the price moved. This gives you a quick visual way to spot significant price movements:
- Small movements keep the standard green/red colors
- Medium movements (25-30 points) show as yellow
- Larger movements get more unique colors (orange, purple, blue, etc.)
This makes it easy to instantly identify which candles had the most significant price movement without having to read all the numbers. You can quickly spot the most volatile candles across your chart by their distinctive border colors.
The indicator is lightweight and should run smoothly on most charts without causing performance issues.
ICT Bread and Butter Sell-SetupICT Bread and Butter Sell-Setup – TradingView Strategy
Overview:
The ICT Bread and Butter Sell-Setup is an intraday trading strategy designed to capitalize on bearish market conditions. It follows institutional order flow and exploits liquidity patterns within key trading sessions—London, New York, and Asia—to identify high-probability short entries.
Key Components of the Strategy:
🔹 London Open Setup (2:00 AM – 8:20 AM NY Time)
The London session typically sets the initial directional move of the day.
A short-term high often forms before a downward push, establishing the daily high.
🔹 New York Open Kill Zone (8:20 AM – 10:00 AM NY Time)
The New York Judas Swing (a temporary rally above London’s high) creates an opportunity for short entries.
Traders fade this move, anticipating a sell-off targeting liquidity below previous lows.
🔹 London Close Buy Setup (10:30 AM – 1:00 PM NY Time)
If price reaches a higher timeframe discount array, a retracement higher is expected.
A bullish order block or failure swing signals a possible reversal.
The risk is set just below the day’s low, targeting a 20-30% retracement of the daily range.
🔹 Asia Open Sell Setup (7:00 PM – 2:00 AM NY Time)
If institutional order flow remains bearish, a short entry is taken around the 0-GMT Open.
Expect a 15-20 pip decline as the Asian range forms.
Strategy Rules:
📉 Short Entry Conditions:
✅ New York Judas Swing occurs (price moves above London’s high before reversing).
✅ Short entry is triggered when price closes below the open.
✅ Stop-loss is set 10 pips above the session high.
✅ Take-profit targets liquidity zones on higher timeframes.
📈 Long Entry (London Close Reversal):
✅ Price reaches a higher timeframe discount array between 10:30 AM – 1:00 PM NY Time.
✅ A bullish order block confirms the reversal.
✅ Stop-loss is set 10 pips below the day’s low.
✅ Take-profit targets 20-30% of the daily range retracement.
📉 Asia Open Sell Entry:
✅ Price trades slightly above the 0-GMT Open.
✅ Short entry is taken at resistance, targeting a quick 15-20 pip move.
Why Use This Strategy?
🚀 Institutional Order Flow Tracking – Aligns with smart money concepts.
📊 Precise Session Timing – Uses market structure across London, New York, and Asia.
🎯 High-Probability Entries – Focuses on liquidity grabs and engineered stop hunts.
📉 Optimized Risk Management – Defined stop-loss and take-profit levels.
This strategy is ideal for traders looking to trade with institutions, fade liquidity grabs, and capture high-probability short setups during the trading day. 📉🔥
CCT Pi Cycle Top/BottomPi Cycle Top/bottom: The Ultimate Market Cycle Indicator
Introduction
The Pi Cycle Top/bottom Indicator is one of the most reliable tools for identifying Bitcoin market cycle peaks and bottoms. Its effectiveness lies in the strategic combination of moving averages that historically align with major market cycle reversals. Unlike traditional moving average crossovers, this indicator applies an advanced iterative approach to pinpoint price extremes with higher accuracy.
This version, built entirely with Pine Script™ v6, introduces unprecedented precision in detecting both the Pi Cycle Top and Pi Cycle Bottom, eliminating redundant labels, optimizing visual clarity, and ensuring the indicator adapts dynamically to evolving market conditions.
What is the Pi Cycle Theory?
The Pi Cycle Top and Pi Cycle Bottom were originally introduced based on a simple yet profound discovery: key moving average crossovers consistently align with macro market tops and bottoms.
Pi Cycle Top: The crossover of the 111-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) and the 350-day SMA multiplied by 2 has historically signaled market tops with astonishing accuracy.
Pi Cycle Bottom: The intersection of the 150-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the 471-day SMA has repeatedly marked significant market bottoms.
While traditional moving average strategies often suffer from lag and false signals, the Pi Cycle Indicator enhances accuracy by applying a range-based scanning methodology, ensuring that only the most critical reversals are detected.
How This Indicator Works
Unlike basic moving average crossovers, this script introduces a unique iteration process to refine the detection of Pi Cycle points. Here’s how it works:
Detecting Crossovers:
Identifies the Golden Cross (bullish crossover) and Death Cross (bearish crossover) for both the Pi Cycle Top and Pi Cycle Bottom.
Iterating Through the Cycle:
Instead of plotting a simple crossover point, this script scans the range between each Golden and Death Cross to identify the absolute lowest price (Pi Cycle Bottom) and highest price (Pi Cycle Top) within that cycle.
Precision Labeling:
The indicator dynamically adjusts label positioning:
If the price at the crossover is below the fast moving average → the label is placed on the moving average with a downward pointer.
If the price is above the fast moving average → the label is placed below the candle with an upward pointer.
This ensures optimal visibility and prevents misleading signal placement.
Advanced Pine Script v6 Features:
Labels and moving average names are only shown on the last candle, reducing chart noise while maintaining clarity.
Offers full user customization, allowing traders to toggle:
Pi Cycle Top & Bottom visibility
Moving average labels
Crossover labels
Why This Indicator is Superior
This script is not just another moving average crossover tool—it is a market cycle tracker designed for long-term investors and analysts who seek:
✔ High-accuracy macro cycle identification
✔ Elimination of false signals using an iterative range-based scan
✔ Automatic detection of market extremes without manual adjustments
✔ Optimized visuals with smart label positioning
✔ First-of-its-kind implementation using Pine Script™ v6 capabilities
How to Use It?
Bull Market Tops:
When the Pi Cycle Top indicator flashes, consider the potential for a market cycle peak.
Historically, Bitcoin has corrected significantly after these signals.
Bear Market Bottoms:
When the Pi Cycle Bottom appears, it suggests a macro accumulation phase.
These signals have aligned perfectly with historical cycle bottoms.
Final Thoughts
The Pi Cycle Top/bottom Indicator is a must-have tool for traders, investors, and analysts looking to anticipate long-term trend reversals with precision. With its refined methodology, superior label positioning, and cutting-edge Pine Script™ v6 optimizations, this is the most reliable version ever created.
real_time_candlesIntroduction
The Real-Time Candles Library provides comprehensive tools for creating, manipulating, and visualizing custom timeframe candles in Pine Script. Unlike standard indicators that only update at bar close, this library enables real-time visualization of price action and indicators within the current bar, offering traders unprecedented insight into market dynamics as they unfold.
This library addresses a fundamental limitation in traditional technical analysis: the inability to see how indicators evolve between bar closes. By implementing sophisticated real-time data processing techniques, traders can now observe indicator movements, divergences, and trend changes as they develop, potentially identifying trading opportunities much earlier than with conventional approaches.
Key Features
The library supports two primary candle generation approaches:
Chart-Time Candles: Generate real-time OHLC data for any variable (like RSI, MACD, etc.) while maintaining synchronization with chart bars.
Custom Timeframe (CTF) Candles: Create candles with custom time intervals or tick counts completely independent of the chart's native timeframe.
Both approaches support traditional candlestick and Heikin-Ashi visualization styles, with options for moving average overlays to smooth the data.
Configuration Requirements
For optimal performance with this library:
Set max_bars_back = 5000 in your script settings
When using CTF drawing functions, set max_lines_count = 500, max_boxes_count = 500, and max_labels_count = 500
These settings ensure that you will be able to draw correctly and will avoid any runtime errors.
Usage Examples
Basic Chart-Time Candle Visualization
// Create real-time candles for RSI
float rsi = ta.rsi(close, 14)
Candle rsi_candle = candle_series(rsi, CandleType.candlestick)
// Plot the candles using Pine's built-in function
plotcandle(rsi_candle.Open, rsi_candle.High, rsi_candle.Low, rsi_candle.Close,
"RSI Candles", rsi_candle.candle_color, rsi_candle.candle_color)
Multiple Access Patterns
The library provides three ways to access candle data, accommodating different programming styles:
// 1. Array-based access for collection operations
Candle candles = candle_array(source)
// 2. Object-oriented access for single entity manipulation
Candle candle = candle_series(source)
float value = candle.source(Source.HLC3)
// 3. Tuple-based access for functional programming styles
= candle_tuple(source)
Custom Timeframe Examples
// Create 20-second candles with EMA overlay
plot_ctf_candles(
source = close,
candle_type = CandleType.candlestick,
sample_type = SampleType.Time,
number_of_seconds = 20,
timezone = -5,
tied_open = true,
ema_period = 9,
enable_ema = true
)
// Create tick-based candles (new candle every 15 ticks)
plot_ctf_tick_candles(
source = close,
candle_type = CandleType.heikin_ashi,
number_of_ticks = 15,
timezone = -5,
tied_open = true
)
Advanced Usage with Custom Visualization
// Get custom timeframe candles without automatic plotting
CandleCTF my_candles = ctf_candles_array(
source = close,
candle_type = CandleType.candlestick,
sample_type = SampleType.Time,
number_of_seconds = 30

Technical Implementation Notes
This library leverages Pine Script's varip variables for state management, creating a sophisticated real-time data processing system. The implementation includes:
Efficient tick capturing: Samples price at every execution, maintaining temporal tracking with time deltas
Smart state management: Uses a hybrid approach with mutable updates at index 0 and historical preservation at index 1+
Temporal synchronization: Manages two time domains (chart time and custom timeframe)
The tooltip implementation provides crucial temporal context for custom timeframe visualizations, allowing users to understand exactly when each candle formed regardless of chart timeframe.
Limitations
Custom timeframe candles cannot be backtested due to Pine Script's limitations with historical tick data
Real-time visualization is only available during live chart updates
Maximum history is constrained by Pine Script's array size limits
Applications
Indicator visualization: See how RSI, MACD, or other indicators evolve in real-time
Volume analysis: Create custom volume profiles independent of chart timeframe
Scalping strategies: Identify short-term patterns with precisely defined time windows
Volatility measurement: Track price movement characteristics within bars
Custom signal generation: Create entry/exit signals based on custom timeframe patterns
Conclusion
The Real-Time Candles Library bridges the gap between traditional technical analysis (based on discrete OHLC bars) and the continuous nature of market movement. By making indicators more responsive to real-time price action, it gives traders a significant edge in timing and decision-making, particularly in fast-moving markets where waiting for bar close could mean missing important opportunities.
Whether you're building custom indicators, researching price patterns, or developing trading strategies, this library provides the foundation for sophisticated real-time analysis in Pine Script.
Implementation Details & Advanced Guide
Core Implementation Concepts
The Real-Time Candles Library implements a sophisticated event-driven architecture within Pine Script's constraints. At its heart, the library creates what's essentially a reactive programming framework handling continuous data streams.
Tick Processing System
The foundation of the library is the get_tick() function, which captures price updates as they occur:
export get_tick(series float source = close, series float na_replace = na)=>
varip float price = na
varip int series_index = -1
varip int old_time = 0
varip int new_time = na
varip float time_delta = 0
// ...
This function:
Samples the current price
Calculates time elapsed since last update
Maintains a sequential index to track updates
The resulting TickData structure serves as the fundamental building block for all candle generation.
State Management Architecture
The library employs a sophisticated state management system using varip variables, which persist across executions within the same bar. This creates a hybrid programming paradigm that's different from standard Pine Script's bar-by-bar model.
For chart-time candles, the core state transition logic is:
// Real-time update of current candle
candle_data := Candle.new(Open, High, Low, Close, polarity, series_index, candle_color)
candles.set(0, candle_data)
// When a new bar starts, preserve the previous candle
if clear_state
candles.insert(1, candle_data)
price.clear()
// Reset state for new candle
Open := Close
price.push(Open)
series_index += 1
This pattern of updating index 0 in real-time while inserting completed candles at index 1 creates an elegant solution for maintaining both current state and historical data.
Custom Timeframe Implementation
The custom timeframe system manages its own time boundaries independent of chart bars:
bool clear_state = switch settings.sample_type
SampleType.Ticks => cumulative_series_idx >= settings.number_of_ticks
SampleType.Time => cumulative_time_delta >= settings.number_of_seconds
This dual-clock system synchronizes two time domains:
Pine's execution clock (bar-by-bar processing)
The custom timeframe clock (tick or time-based)
The library carefully handles temporal discontinuities, ensuring candle formation remains accurate despite irregular tick arrival or market gaps.
Advanced Usage Techniques
1. Creating Custom Indicators with Real-Time Candles
To develop indicators that process real-time data within the current bar:
// Get real-time candles for your data
Candle rsi_candles = candle_array(ta.rsi(close, 14))
// Calculate indicator values based on candle properties
float signal = ta.ema(rsi_candles.first().source(Source.Close), 9)
// Detect patterns that occur within the bar
bool divergence = close > close and rsi_candles.first().Close < rsi_candles.get(1).Close
2. Working with Custom Timeframes and Plotting
For maximum flexibility when visualizing custom timeframe data:
// Create custom timeframe candles
CandleCTF volume_candles = ctf_candles_array(
source = volume,
candle_type = CandleType.candlestick,
sample_type = SampleType.Time,
number_of_seconds = 60
)
// Convert specific candle properties to float arrays
float volume_closes = volume_candles.candle_ctf_to_float(Source.Close)
// Calculate derived values
float volume_ema = volume_candles.ctf_ema(14)
// Create custom visualization
volume_candles.draw_ctf_candles_time()
volume_ema.draw_ctf_line_time(line_color = color.orange)
3. Creating Hybrid Timeframe Analysis
One powerful application is comparing indicators across multiple timeframes:
// Standard chart timeframe RSI
float chart_rsi = ta.rsi(close, 14)
// Custom 5-second timeframe RSI
CandleCTF ctf_candles = ctf_candles_array(
source = close,
candle_type = CandleType.candlestick,
sample_type = SampleType.Time,
number_of_seconds = 5
)
float fast_rsi_array = ctf_candles.candle_ctf_to_float(Source.Close)
float fast_rsi = fast_rsi_array.first()
// Generate signals based on divergence between timeframes
bool entry_signal = chart_rsi < 30 and fast_rsi > fast_rsi_array.get(1)
Final Notes
This library represents an advanced implementation of real-time data processing within Pine Script's constraints. By creating a reactive programming framework for handling continuous data streams, it enables sophisticated analysis typically only available in dedicated trading platforms.
The design principles employed—including state management, temporal processing, and object-oriented architecture—can serve as patterns for other advanced Pine Script development beyond this specific application.

AO Smart Scalper – 5M Dynamic SL Edition📈 AO Signals with Fixed and Dynamic SL – Optimized for 5-Minute Charts 📉
This indicator is built for 5-minute timeframe trading, combining powerful momentum signals from the Awesome Oscillator (AO) with both Fixed and Dynamic Stop Loss (SL) levels to enhance trade management and risk control.
✅ Buy/Sell Signals:
The indicator generates clear BUY and SELL signals based on the AO crossing above or below the zero line, helping traders capture momentum shifts early.
🛑 Fixed Stop Loss:
Each trade signal comes with a Fixed SL, calculated based on the high (for shorts) or low (for longs) of the previous candle, with a customizable percentage offset. This SL is plotted with a red line, providing a clear initial risk level.
⚡ Dynamic Stop Loss: Continuous Presence, Strategic Use:
A secondary Dynamic SL line is plotted, which is continuously present on the chart. This dynamic level responds to market conditions and can serve as a trailing stop or key decision point.
💡 Recommended Use: It is recommended to actively start using the Dynamic SL once the trade has moved into profit. This allows protecting obtained profits and minimizing the risk of losses in case of a market reversal.
🛡️ Enhanced Dynamic Stop-Loss Strategy:
🔒 Initial Protection: Utilize the Fixed SL as the initial stop-loss, placed below relevant lows (for longs) or above relevant highs (for shorts), or as provided by the fixed SL indicator.
🛤️ Dynamic Tracking:
🟢 Long Trades: Once in profit, the Dynamic SL will dynamically adjust, moving upwards as higher lows are formed, effectively trailing the price and securing profits.
🔴 Short Trades: Conversely, in short trades, once in profit, the Dynamic SL will move downwards as lower highs are formed, protecting gains.
🔄 Alternatively the dynamic stop loss will follow the dynamic SL line provided by the indicator.
🚪 Exiting Trades: When the price crosses below the Dynamic SL line in a LONG trade, or above it in a SHORT trade, the recommended action is to exit the trade.
↩️ Re-entry Consideration: You may consider re-entering only if the price clearly returns above the Dynamic SL (for longs) or below it (for shorts).
⚠️ IMPORTANT - 5-Minute Strategy Guidance ⏱️
This tool is specifically optimized for the 5-minute timeframe. This approach helps filter out weak setups and maintain discipline in volatile market conditions.
✨ Additional Features:
👁️ Visual and editable SL levels
📊 200-period SMA for trend context
💻 Simple and effective interface for intraday trading setups
🎯 Ideal for traders seeking a clean, rule-based system that combines momentum entry signals with layered stop loss protection.
🔑 Key Changes:
It was emphasized that the Dynamic SL is always present, but its active use is recommended once the trade is in profit.
It was clarified the use of the Fixed SL, giving the option to use the one provided by the indicator, or to place it according to the price action.
Panic Drop Stock Market Bull/Bear Market Panic Drop Bull/Bear
What It Does:
This indicator identifies bull and bear markets for the S&P 500 (or any stock/index) using the 50-period and 150-period Simple Moving Averages (SMAs). A green background signals a confirmed bull market when the 50 SMA is above the 150 SMA and the 150 SMA slope is flat or upward. A red background signals a confirmed bear market when the 50 SMA is below the 150 SMA and the 150 SMA slope is downward. The background color persists until a new confirmed state is detected, ensuring no gaps—perfect for spotting long-term market trends whether you’re a beginner, trend trader, or long-term investor.
Key Features:
Plots 50 SMA (default: blue line) and 150 SMA (default: orange line).
Background highlights: green for bull markets, red for bear markets.
Persistent background color—no gaps during unconfirmed periods.
Alerts for confirmed bull and bear market transitions.
Fully adjustable: MA periods, slope lookback, and more.
How to Use It:
Add to your S&P 500 chart (e.g., SPX or SPY) on a daily or weekly timeframe (daily default recommended for long-term trends).
Watch for background color changes:
Green background: Confirmed bull market—consider long positions or holding.
Red background: Confirmed bear market—consider shorting or exiting longs.
Customize via settings:
Adjust MA periods (default: 50 and 150).
Set slope lookback (default: 5 bars) to control slope sensitivity.
Change MA colors if desired.
Set alerts: Right-click on the chart > "Add Alert" > Select "Bull Market Confirmed" or "Bear Market Confirmed."
Trade smart: Use the background to confirm market regimes—e.g., go long during green (bull) phases above key support levels, or protect capital during red (bear) phases.
Why It’s Great:
Beginners: Simple background colors make market trends easy to spot.
Trend Traders: 50/150 SMA crossover with slope confirmation catches major market shifts.
Long-Term Investors: Persistent background ensures you stay in the trend without noise.

FTB Smart Trader System — Market Maker Levels, EMAs & VectorsThe FTB Trade Engine is an indicator suite I built for myself as a crypto trader. It's designed specifically for trading Institution levels, EMAs, PVSRA Volume Candles, and Session Timings. It helps me spot high probability trade setups without overcomplicating things.
🔑 Features of this Indicator
📌 🔥 Key Session Levels (extend lines in settings as needed)
✅ Weekly High & Low (HOW/LOW) — Automatically plots the previous week's high and low
✅ Daily High & Low (HOD/LOD) — Marks the prior day's range
✅ Asia Session High & Low — Plots the Asian session’s high and low, helping you detect potential breakouts or fakeouts, as Asia often sets the initial high and low of the day.
✅ 50% Asia Level — Automatically calculates and displays the midpoint between Asia’s high and low, an important level for intraday trading.
📌 🔥 Advanced EMA Suite
✅ Includes 10, 20, 50, 200, and 800 EMAs — providing key zones of support, resistance, and trend direction.
👀 Good to know: the break of the 50EMA WITH a vector candle is significant for reversals.
📌 🔥 PVSRA Candles

[COW] Day Percent LevelsThis indicator plots on your chart 2 levels, the daily percentage changes required to know by most prop firms and other exchanges. 5% is often a cutoff point for prop firm day traders and can get you banned if you trade past these levels. This indicator allows you to adjust the percentage as well as the lines and labels to your liking.
This is key when using prop firms as it is a level you must be aware of when trading. This can help you avoid being banned, your account being closed, or other disciplinary action based on trading past these levels.

MTF Fractals [RunRox]🔽 MTF Fractals is a powerful indicator designed to visualize fractals from multiple timeframes directly on your chart, highlight liquidity sweeps at these fractal levels, and provide several additional features we’ll cover in detail below.
We created this indicator because we couldn’t find a suitable tool that met our specific needs on TradingView. Therefore, we decided to develop a valuable indicator for the entire TradingView community, combining simplicity and versatility.
⁉️ WHAT IS A FRACTALS?
In trading, a fractal is a technical analysis pattern composed of five consecutive candles, typically highlighting local market turning points. Specifically, a fractal high is formed when a candle’s high is higher than the highs of the two candles on either side, whereas a fractal low occurs when a candle’s low is lower than the lows of the two adjacent candles on both sides.
Traders use fractals as reference points for identifying significant support and resistance levels, potential reversal areas, and liquidity zones within price action analysis. Below is a screenshot illustrating clearly formed fractals on the chart.
📙 FRACTAL FORMATION
Here’s how fractals form depending on your chosen setting (3, 5, 7, or 9):
▶️ 3-bar fractal – forms when the central candle is higher (for highs) or lower (for lows) than one candle on each side.
▶️ 5-bar fractal – forms when the central candle is higher or lower than two candles on both sides.
▶️ 7-bar fractal – forms when the central candle is higher or lower compared to the three candles on each side.
▶️ 9-bar fractal – forms similarly but requires four candles on each side, making the fractal significantly more reliable and robust.
A higher number of bars ensures stronger fractal levels, highlighting more significant potential reversal points on the chart.
Now that we’ve covered the theory behind fractal formation, let’s explore the indicator’s functionality in more detail.
Below, I’ll explain each feature clearly and illustrate how you can effectively utilize this indicator in your trading.
🕐 MULTI-TIMEFRAME FRACTALS
We realized that displaying fractals only from the current timeframe isn’t always convenient, so we’ve introduced Multi-Timeframe Fractals into this indicator.
Now you can easily display fractals from higher timeframes directly on your current chart, providing you with broader market context and clearer trading signals.
Fractals from Current Timeframe – Fractals identified directly on the chart’s current timeframe.
Fractals from Higher Timeframes – Fractals sourced from higher timeframes and displayed clearly on your current chart for enhanced market perspective.
📈 FRACTAL LINES
Since fractals represent areas of high liquidity, we’ve added an option to extend fractal levels horizontally as Fractal Lines across your chart.
This feature allows you to clearly visualize critical liquidity areas from higher timeframes, directly on your current timeframe chart, as demonstrated in the screenshot below.
With this approach, you can clearly visualize significant fractal levels from higher timeframes directly on your current chart - for example, projecting fractals from the 1-hour (1H) timeframe onto a 3-minute (3m) chart. ✅ This helps you easily identify critical liquidity areas and potential reversal zones without the need to switch between multiple timeframes.
💰 LIQUDITY SWEEP (LIQUDITY GRAB)
To enhance your trading experience, we’ve introduced a feature that clearly identifies liquidity sweeps of fractal levels.
A Liquidity Sweep occurs when a candle closes beyond a fractal line, leaving a wick that pierces through it, signaling that liquidity has been collected at this level.
Below, you’ll find two examples illustrating this functionality:
▶️ Fractal lines from the current timeframe
▶️ Fractal lines projected from higher timeframes
The first example illustrates liquidity being swept from fractals on the current timeframe .
Here, the candle clearly closes beyond the fractal line, leaving a wick through it. This indicates a liquidity sweep at the fractal level, visually highlighting a potential reversal or continuation opportunity directly on your chart.
In the second example, fractals from the higher timeframe are projected onto your current chart.
When a candle on your current timeframe closes beyond an HTF fractal line - leaving a wick through this level - the indicator highlights it clearly. This signals to traders a potential reversal zone, indicating that liquidity has been swept, and price may reverse or significantly react from this area.
You can also enable the display of additional labels on the chart. These labels clearly mark liquidity sweeps at fractal levels, making it easier to visually identify potential reversal points directly on your chart.
⚙️ SETTINGS
Below are the indicator settings with detailed explanations for each parameter.

TJR SEEK AND DESTROYTJR SEEK AND DESTROY – Intraday ICT Trading Tool
Built for day traders, TJR SEEK AND DESTROY combines Smart Money concepts like order blocks, fair value gaps, and liquidity sweeps with structure breaks and daily bias to pinpoint high-probability trades during US market hours (9:30–16:00). Ideal for scalping or intraday strategies on stocks, futures, or forex.
What Makes It Unique?
Unlike standalone ICT indicators, this script integrates:
Order Blocks with volume and range filters for precise support/resistance zones.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) to spot pre-market price imbalances.
Break of Structure (BOS) and Liquidity Sweeps for trend and reversal signals.
A 1H MA-based Bias to align trades with the day’s direction.
BUY/SELL Labels triggered only when bias, BOS, and sweeps align, reducing noise.
How Does It Work?
Order Blocks: Marks zones with high volume (>1.5x 20-period SMA) and low range (<0.5x ATR20) as teal boxes—potential reversal points.
Fair Value Gap: Compares the prior day’s close to the current open (pre- or post-9:30), shown as a purple line and label (e.g., "FVG: 0.005").
Pivot Point: Calculates (prevHigh + prevLow + prevClose) / 3 from the prior day, plotted as an orange line for equilibrium.
Break of Structure: Detects crossovers of 5-bar highs/lows (gray lines), marked with red triangles.
Liquidity Sweeps: Tracks breaches of the prior day’s high/low (yellow lines), marked with yellow triangles.
Daily Bias: Uses 1H close vs. 20-period MA (blue line) for bullish (green background), bearish (red), or neutral (gray) context.
Signals: BUY (green label) when bias is bullish, price breaks up, and sweeps the prior high; SELL (red label) when bias is bearish, price breaks down, and sweeps the prior low.
How to Use It
Setup: Apply to 1M–15M charts for US session trading (9:30–16:00 EST).
Trading:
Wait for a BUY label after a yellow sweep triangle above the prior day’s high in a green (bullish) background.
Wait for a SELL label after a yellow sweep triangle below the prior day’s low in a red (bearish) background.
Use order blocks (teal boxes) as support/resistance for stop-loss or take-profit.
Markets: Best for SPY, ES futures, or forex pairs with US session volatility.
Underlying Concepts
Order Blocks: High-volume, low-range bars suggest institutional activity.
FVG: Gaps between close and open indicate imbalance to be filled.
BOS & Sweeps: Price breaking key levels signals momentum or stop-hunting.
Bias: 1H MA filters trades by broader trend.
Chart Setup
Displays order blocks (teal boxes), pivot (orange), open (purple), bias (colored background), BOS/sweeps (triangles), and signals (labels). Keep other indicators off for clarity.
