ChopScore📝 Script Description: ChopScore – Candle-Based Choppiness Indicator
The ChopScore indicator helps traders assess the cleanliness and quality of recent price action by analyzing the relationship between candle body size and overall candle range (high-low).
Unlike traditional volatility or trend indicators, ChopScore does not assume trend direction. Instead, it focuses on how "clean" or "choppy" the price movement is, helping traders spot scrips and environments prone to shakeouts, fakeouts, or stop hunts.
📊 How It Works:
Calculates a custom choppiness score based on the ratio of the candle body to its full range (wicks included).
A smoothed average is plotted over a user-defined lookback period
.
The current score is displayed in a table on the chart, with colors indicating the choppiness level:
🔵 < 50: Cleaner price action (lower shakeout risk)
🟢 50–54.99: Moderate
🟠 55–59.99: Messier price action
🔴 ≥ 60: Very choppy (high shakeout potential)
⚙️ Inputs:
Lookback Period – Controls how many bars are used for averaging the choppiness.
Table Position – Choose where the score appears on the chart.
🎯 Use Case:
Use ChopScore to:
Identify scrips where price action is clean and decisive (e.g., safer entries).
Avoid scrips noise and shakeout potential.
Complement trend/momentum indicators without confusing direction with structure.

Volatility Wick Trap — Smart Reversal EngineThe Volatility Wick Trap — Smart Reversal Engine is a precision reversal detection tool designed for traders who rely on smart money footprints, volatility compression, and liquidity wick exhaustion to time entries near market turns.
💡 Core Components:
Volatility Squeeze Detection: Identifies candles where range compresses significantly compared to the 14-period average true range, highlighting potential breakout zones.
Liquidity Wick Exhaustion: Detects candles with dominant upper or lower wicks, signaling failed liquidity grabs or stop hunts.
Contextual EMA Filter: Uses a 21-period EMA to filter signals, improving accuracy by aligning with market structure bias.
🔍 How It Works:
Green diamond lines mark bullish hidden reversal zones.
Red diamond lines mark bearish hidden reversal traps.
These lines only appear when volatility compresses and wick traps are confirmed within the trend context.
✅ Clean. Minimal. Tactical.
Ideal for scalpers, swing traders, and smart money enthusiasts looking to fade emotional price spikes.

Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Levels – Automatic High/Low Tracking
This indicator automatically tracks and draws liquidity levels (recent highs and lows) from up to 6 custom timeframes directly on your chart. It’s designed for advanced traders who want to visualize important swing points and liquidity pools across multiple timeframes—ideal for Smart Money Concepts (SMC), ICT, and price action trading.
Key Features:
Multi-Timeframe Support:
Select up to 6 different timeframes (ex: 1H, 4H, Daily, Weekly, etc.), each with separate color and visibility controls.
Real Liquidity (No Repaint):
Levels are only drawn from fully closed bars on each timeframe—no lines from currently forming candles, ensuring accuracy and no forward-looking bias.
Automatic Detection:
Highs and lows are detected automatically. Levels that get swept (price breaks through) are converted to dashed lines for easy visual distinction.
Customizable:
Choose line colors for highs/lows and set the maximum number of active levels per timeframe to keep charts clean.
Extended Lines:
All levels are extended to the right, helping you see how current price interacts with past liquidity.
How It Works:
On every new bar of your chosen higher timeframe(s), the indicator records the high and low of the previous (just-closed) candle.
These levels are extended as rays until price sweeps (crosses) them.
When a level is swept, it is redrawn as a dashed line to highlight liquidity grabs or stop hunts.
No lines are drawn for the “live” bar—only confirmed, closed levels are displayed.
Who is this for?
SMC, ICT, and price action traders seeking high-confidence liquidity zones.
Intraday, swing, and multi-timeframe traders who want an automated, visual edge.
Anyone wanting to avoid repainting or “fake” levels from unfinished candles.
Tip:
Combine this indicator with your favorite order block, fair value gap (FVG), or market structure tools for even greater context and confluence.
Disclaimer:
No indicator guarantees profits. Always use with proper risk management and in conjunction with your trading plan.
Institutional Sweep Zone (Range-Based)Institutional Sweep Zone (Range-Based)
This indicator models potential stop sweep zones based on institutional capital ranges, helping traders visualize where high-probability liquidity grabs are likely to occur.
Unlike traditional volatility bands, this tool estimates price movement by calculating how far a specific amount of capital—entered into the market—can push price. By defining a lower and upper capital range (in millions of USD), the indicator dynamically draws bands representing the distance institutions could realistically move price in either direction.
It supports directional control, allowing you to focus on long sweeps, short sweeps, or both simultaneously. The pip cost is auto-calibrated based on the selected currency pair, making it highly adaptive to major FX pairs.
Key Features:
-Capital input range (in millions of USD)
-Directional sweep targeting: Long, Short, or Both
-Auto-detection of pip value based on FX pair
-Visual sweep zone mapped above and below current price
-Designed to highlight areas of institutional stop hunts
Why use it?
-Helps avoid setting stops inside common sweep zones
-Improves trade survivability when paired with higher timeframe strategies
-Offers a unique way to view price through an institutional lens

BSL & SSL - Liquidity Zones
BSL & SSL - Liquidity Zones
Indicator Description (for TradingView)
Concept
The BSL & SSL - Liquidity Zones indicator is a simple yet powerful visual tool that helps traders identify key liquidity zones in the market by tracking prominent highs and lows on the chart.
It is based on the concept that the Highest High (Buy Side Liquidity - BSL) and Lowest Low (Sell Side Liquidity - SSL) represent zones where stop-loss orders and pending orders accumulate — often attracting future price movements.
Purpose
This indicator helps traders spot hidden liquidity levels which may act as targets or potential reversal points. It is especially useful for traders who apply Smart Money Concepts (SMC) or institutional trading models.
Great for detecting potential stop hunts and understanding market structure shifts.
How It Works
The indicator calculates the Highest High and Lowest Low over a user-defined period (default: 20 candles).
When a new Higher High forms, it marks a new BSL.
When a new Lower Low forms, it marks a new SSL.
These zones are likely to attract price in the future — either as targets or traps.
Visualization
The indicator draws static horizontal lines (Stepline style) at BSL and SSL levels.
These lines remain in place until broken or a new level is formed.
Visual Labels enhance clarity:
🟢 Green Label → BSL
🔴 Red Label → SSL
Trading Insights / Practical Use
When price approaches a BSL or SSL zone, ask yourself:
✅ Will price break the level to grab liquidity?
✅ Will there be a reversal after liquidity is taken?
The indicator does not provide signals by itself — it serves as a valuable confirmation tool when combined with:
Price Action
Support & Resistance
Momentum Indicators
SMC Tools
Key Benefits
✅ Easy to use
✅ Enhances liquidity analysis
✅ Highlights zones targeted by institutional players
✅ Simple calculation — no complex formulas
Limitations
🚫 Does NOT generate buy/sell signals
🚫 Should be used as part of a complete trading framework
Conclusion
BSL & SSL - Liquidity Zones is a versatile and intuitive tool for any trader looking to better understand where liquidity is positioned on the chart.
It works across all timeframes and complements any trading strategy, especially Smart Money-based approaches.
Candle Range DetectorCandle Range Detector
// Pine Script v6
// Detects candle-based ranges, mitigations, and sweeps with advanced logic
Overview
This indicator automatically detects price ranges based on candle containment, then tracks when those ranges are mitigated (broken) and when a sweep occurs. It is designed for traders who want to identify liquidity events and range breaks with precision.
How It Works
- Range Detection: A range is formed when a candle is fully contained within the previous candle (its high is lower and its low is higher). This marks a potential area of price balance or liquidity.
- Mitigation: A range is considered mitigated when price closes beyond its extension levels (configurable by normal or Fibonacci logic). This signals that the range has been invalidated or "taken out" by price action.
- Sweep Detection: After mitigation, the script watches for a sweep event: a candle that both trades through the range extreme and closes decisively beyond the log-mid of the candle itself. This is a strong sign of a liquidity grab or stop run.
- Alerts & Visuals: You can enable alerts and on-chart labels for sweeps. Only the most recent mitigated range can be swept, and each range can only be swept once.
- Timeframe Sensitivity: On weekly or monthly charts, a candle can both mitigate and sweep a range on the same bar. On lower timeframes, only one event can occur per bar.
Why It Works
- Candle containment is a robust way to identify natural price ranges and liquidity pools, as it reflects where price is consolidating or being absorbed.
- Mitigation marks the moment when a range is no longer defended, often leading to new directional moves.
- Sweeps are powerful signals of stop hunts or liquidity grabs, especially when confirmed by a close beyond the log-mid of the candle, indicating strong intent.
Visual Explanation
Tip: Use this tool to spot high-probability reversal or continuation zones, and to get alerted to key liquidity events in real time.
Liqudation HeatMap [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
An advanced liquidity visualization tool that plots horizontal heat zones to highlight where potential liquidations and volume clusters are most likely hiding beneath price action.
Liqudation HeatMap scans historical price movements for local highs and lows with elevated volume or candle range. It then draws dynamic heatmap boxes—shaded from lime (low interest) to yellow (high interest)—revealing potential zones of trapped positions or stop clusters. A vertical scale on the right shows you the relative strength of volume behind each level, from 0 to the highest detected.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Maps areas of potential liquidity using volume or candle range (if volume is unavailable).
Identifies swing highs/lows (pivots) and extends heatmap boxes outward from these levels. Colors each zone based on the relative strength of volume concentration.
Fades or removes zones once price crosses their midpoints, simulating the idea of liquidity being “consumed.”
Displays a live vertical scale that shows the volume range for quick reference.
🔵 FEATURES
Dynamic Heatmap Zones:
Draws few boxes above and after pivot highs and below pivot lows, each shaded based on volume concentration.
Smart Coloring System:
Uses a gradient from lime (low) to yellow (high) to visually distinguish between weak and strong liquidity zones.
Adaptive ATR Widths:
Automatically adjusts zone thickness based on volatility (ATR), scaling intelligently across timeframes.
Liquidity Consumption Logic:
Zones are stope extending once price interacts with them—mimicking the behavior of real liquidation sweeps.
Volume Scale Legend:
A real-time scale is plotted on the right side, showing the min-max range of volume used for heat calculations.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Look for thick yellow zones to identify areas of concentrated stop losses or liquidation triggers.
Use these levels to anticipate mean reversion points or high-volatility zones.
Combine with your trend or structure tools to trade into or fade these liquidity pools.
On lower timeframes, use this tool to confirm entries around sweeps or deviations.
Use the right-side scale to compare relative zone strength instantly.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Liqudation HeatMap is a powerful visualization tool that uncovers where liquidity likely resides on the chart. By highlighting hidden traps and reactive levels in real-time, it gives traders a significant edge when it comes to spotting stop hunts, mean reversions, and areas of institutional interest. Whether you’re scalping or swing trading, this heatmap provides unmatched context on the market’s hidden intent.

ICT Liquidity Sweep MAX RETRI (ALERT)Strategy Description: SMC + ICT Reversal Sniper | 5-Min | R2 TP
This strategy applies Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and ICT methodology to identify high-probability reversal trades using a clean, rule-based system designed for the 5-minute timeframe.
⸻
Core Logic:
• Liquidity Sweep: Identifies stop hunts beyond recent swing highs/lows using a configurable lookback window.
• Break of Structure (BOS): Validates a directional shift after the sweep.
• Fixed R2 Risk-Reward: Entry is followed by a 2:1 take-profit target. Stop loss is set at the sweep candle’s high/low.
• No Entry Between 8 PM–12 AM NY Time: Avoids the manipulation-prone and illiquid zone.
• Discreet SL Handling: SL hits close trades silently — no labels or visuals.
⸻
Entry Precision & Timing Notes:
• The strategy may occasionally fire before a confirmed liquidity sweep — this is expected. If a sweep occurs later, you may still re-enter toward equilibrium, with take profit also targeted at equilibrium.
• Alerts or trades that trigger near 9:30 AM NY often align with real direction, but this time can be volatile.
• For more reliable and lower-risk entries, focus on the 1:30 PM to 2:00 PM silver bullet window, which tends to produce cleaner setups with more favorable flow. 🖤
Liquidity Sweep Filter Strategy [AlgoAlpha X PineIndicators]This strategy is based on the Liquidity Sweep Filter developed by AlgoAlpha. Full credit for the concept and original indicator goes to AlgoAlpha.
The Liquidity Sweep Filter Strategy is a non-repainting trading system designed to identify liquidity sweeps, trend shifts, and high-impact price levels. It incorporates volume-based liquidation analysis, trend confirmation, and dynamic support/resistance detection to optimize trade entries and exits.
This strategy helps traders:
Detect liquidity sweeps where major market participants trigger stop losses and liquidations.
Identify trend shifts using a volatility-based moving average system.
Analyze volume distribution with a built-in volume profile visualization.
Filter noise by differentiating between major and minor liquidity sweeps.
How the Liquidity Sweep Filter Strategy Works
1. Trend Detection Using Volatility-Based Filtering
The strategy applies a volatility-adjusted moving average system to determine trend direction:
A central trend line is calculated using an EMA smoothed over a user-defined length.
Upper and lower deviation bands are created based on the average price deviation over multiple periods.
If price closes above the upper band, the strategy signals an uptrend.
If price closes below the lower band, the strategy signals a downtrend.
This approach ensures that trend shifts are confirmed only when price significantly moves beyond normal market fluctuations.
2. Liquidity Sweep Detection
Liquidity sweeps occur when price temporarily breaks key levels, triggering stop-loss liquidations or margin call events. The strategy tracks swing highs and lows, marking potential liquidity grabs:
Bearish Liquidity Sweeps – Price breaks a recent high, then reverses downward.
Bullish Liquidity Sweeps – Price breaks a recent low, then reverses upward.
Volume Integration – The strategy analyzes trading volume at each sweep to differentiate between major and minor sweeps.
Key levels where liquidity sweeps occur are plotted as color-coded horizontal lines:
Red lines indicate bearish liquidity sweeps.
Green lines indicate bullish liquidity sweeps.
Labels are displayed at each sweep, showing the volume of liquidated positions at that level.
3. Volume Profile Analysis
The strategy includes an optional volume profile visualization, displaying how trading volume is distributed across different price levels.
Features of the volume profile:
Point of Control (POC) – The price level with the highest traded volume is marked as a key area of interest.
Bounding Box – The profile is enclosed within a transparent box, helping traders visualize the price range of high trading activity.
Customizable Resolution & Scale – Traders can adjust the granularity of the profile to match their preferred time frame.
The volume profile helps identify zones of strong support and resistance, making it easier to anticipate price reactions at key levels.
Trade Entry & Exit Conditions
The strategy allows traders to configure trade direction:
Long Only – Only takes long trades.
Short Only – Only takes short trades.
Long & Short – Trades in both directions.
Entry Conditions
Long Entry:
A bullish trend shift is confirmed.
A bullish liquidity sweep occurs (price sweeps below a key level and reverses).
The trade direction setting allows long trades.
Short Entry:
A bearish trend shift is confirmed.
A bearish liquidity sweep occurs (price sweeps above a key level and reverses).
The trade direction setting allows short trades.
Exit Conditions
Closing a Long Position:
A bearish trend shift occurs.
The position is liquidated at a predefined liquidity sweep level.
Closing a Short Position:
A bullish trend shift occurs.
The position is liquidated at a predefined liquidity sweep level.
Customization Options
The strategy offers multiple adjustable settings:
Trade Mode: Choose between Long Only, Short Only, or Long & Short.
Trend Calculation Length & Multiplier: Adjust how trend signals are calculated.
Liquidity Sweep Sensitivity: Customize how aggressively the strategy identifies sweeps.
Volume Profile Display: Enable or disable the volume profile visualization.
Bounding Box & Scaling: Control the size and position of the volume profile.
Color Customization: Adjust colors for bullish and bearish signals.
Considerations & Limitations
Liquidity sweeps do not always result in reversals. Some price sweeps may continue in the same direction.
Works best in volatile markets. In low-volatility environments, liquidity sweeps may be less reliable.
Trend confirmation adds a slight delay. The strategy ensures valid signals, but this may result in slightly later entries.
Large volume imbalances may distort the volume profile. Adjusting the scale settings can help improve visualization.
Conclusion
The Liquidity Sweep Filter Strategy is a volume-integrated trading system that combines liquidity sweeps, trend analysis, and volume profile data to optimize trade execution.
By identifying key price levels where liquidations occur, this strategy provides valuable insight into market behavior, helping traders make better-informed trading decisions.
Key use cases for this strategy:
Liquidity-Based Trading – Capturing moves triggered by stop hunts and liquidations.
Volume Analysis – Using volume profile data to confirm high-activity price zones.
Trend Following – Entering trades based on confirmed trend shifts.
Support & Resistance Trading – Using liquidity sweep levels as dynamic price zones.
This strategy is fully customizable, allowing traders to adapt it to different market conditions, timeframes, and risk preferences.

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.
Smart Money Setup 03 [TradingFinder] Minor OB & Trend Proof🔵 Introduction
The "Smart Money Concept" transcends mere technical trading strategies; it embodies a comprehensive philosophy elucidating market dynamics. Central to this concept is the acknowledgment that influential market participants manipulate price actions, presenting challenges for retail traders.
As a "retail trader", aligning your strategy with the behavior of "Smart Money," primarily market makers, is paramount. Understanding their trading patterns, which revolve around supply, demand, and market structure, forms the cornerstone of your approach. Consequently, decisions to enter trades should be informed by these considerations.
🟣 Important Note
In this setup, pattern formation revolves around the robustness of the "Stop Hunt" targeting retail traders.
When this stop hunt occurs, if the price tests below the minor pivot or above the minor pivot, a "Minor Order Block" is formed.
Similarly, if the price tests below the major pivot or above the major pivot, a "Major Order Block" is formed.
Since the price hasn't successfully broken the major pivots before breaking the Top or Bottom, it can be inferred that the minor pivots formed within a leg of price movement exhibit a "Range" structure.
For a deeper comprehension of this setup, refer to the accompanying visual aids below.
Bullish Setup Details :
Bearish Setup Details :
🔵 How to Use
Upon integrating the indicator into your chart, exercise patience as you await the evolution of the trading setup.
Experiment with different trading positions by adjusting both the "Time Frame" and "Pivot Period". Typically, setups materializing over longer "Time Frames" and "Pivot Periods" carry heightened validity.

Within the settings, you possess the flexibility to modify the "Pivot Period" input to tailor the indicator to your preferences.
Wick Delta vs Body/Wick BiasThe top and bottom of this indicator use the same logic as my Wick Delta script, but it displays differently, visualising the rejection or buy/sell pressure that wicks can represent. Outliers are highlighted in darker colours and often show inflection points, particular if they've just wicked into liquidity. So the start or end of moves, or a trend change. They can also happen for no reason, or just be a stop hunt. It's all about context, like everything in technical analysis.
The new addition is the centre line which shows whether wicks or bodies or in charge. Kinda like Average True Range (ATR) this script calculates Average True Bodies (ATBs) and compares it with Average True Wicks (ATWs) and shows when one or the other is in charge. So if candle wicks are bigger (>50%) than bodies, you'll see skinny, wick-like columns, and if the bodies are bigger you'll seen thicker, body-like columns. These can show inflection points too.
Keen to hear how people use this, and I intend to add a volume weighting feature when I get to it.
MTF Market Structure Highs and LowsThe indicator marks the last fractal highs and lows (W,D,4H and 1H options) to help determine current market structure. The script was created to help with directional bias but also as a MTF visual aid for stop hunts/liquidity raids.
Liquidity areas are where we assume trader's stop losses would be when buying or selling. Liquidity lies above and below swing points and institutions need liquidity to fill large orders.
Monitor price action as it hits these areas for a potential reversal trade.
Compare Forex ExchangesThis indicator allows you to overlay candles of a different exchange over the top of your primary exchange. For example, you might be curious how Oanda's prices compare to FXCM's in realtime.
You can see from the example that generally, the other exchanges swing a little further than FXCM (note this is the 1 minute chart for clarity).
You can use this if you are thinking to change exchanges (or concerned you are being stop hunted etc).
I was just curious to see the difference in real time during new events.
I don't need it anymore - I hope its useful to people
3 Band Volume matched Candles3 Band Volume matched Candles– is a clean, high-signal volume-based candle colouring system designed to highlight the extremes of market participation. Instead of using complex multi-band gradients, this simplified version focuses on what truly matters to scalpers and intraday traders:
🔵 Very Weak Volume (Exhaustion)
Shows when the market is running out of participation. These candles often appear near tops, stalled moves, fake breakouts, and areas where liquidity is drying up. Perfect for spotting potential reversals or rug-pull conditions.
⚪ Normal Volume (Baseline Flow)
Represents regular market activity. These neutral candles keep the chart clean and make the extremes stand out instantly.
🟥 Neon Hot-Red (High-Impact Volume)
Highlights moments of significant volume — intervention, aggression, absorption, stop hunts, or strong rejection wicks. These candles are critical for identifying real moves vs. fake ones, spotting wickbacks, and confirming momentum shifts.
Why This Tool Works
By focusing only on the very low and very high ends of market volume, the indicator cuts through noise and exposes the true behaviour behind each candle. Traders can instantly see:
When a move is losing strength
When a trend is topping or stalling
When big volume enters the market
When a wickback is driven by strong rejection
Whether a breakout is real or weak
When reversals are highly probable
This makes it ideal for scalpers, and anyone who trades fast-moving instruments

// BlackScrum — 1/2/3-Bar Swing Boxes (auto timeframe)
//
// DESCRIPTION
// This indicator displays three swing-direction boxes (1B, 2B, 3B) in the top-right corner of the chart.
// The boxes automatically adapt to the chart's timeframe (15m, 1H, 4H, 1D, etc.).
// Each box represents the direction of the most recently confirmed swing pivot:
// • 1B → 1-bar swing (fastest, most sensitive)
// • 2B → 2-bar swing (medium confirmation)
// • 3B → 3-bar swing (slowest, strongest confirmation)
//
// COLORS
// • GREEN = last confirmed swing pivot was a higher low (up swing)
// • RED = last confirmed swing pivot was a lower high (down swing)
// • GREY = no clear swing yet (fresh/transition area)
//
// CONFLUENCE
// • ALL GREEN = bullish alignment across 1B, 2B, 3B → strong trend continuation signal
// • ALL RED = bearish alignment across all three → strong downtrend continuation signal
//
// HOW TO USE (TRADEPLAY)
//
// 1) ENTRIES
// • Aggressive entry → enter when ALL GREEN prints on your timeframe.
// • Safer pullback entry → wait for 1B to briefly turn red during a green 2B/3B,
// then flip back to green. Enter on the re-flip.
// • Multi-timeframe filter:
// Take longs only when higher TF (e.g., 1H/4H) boxes are at least neutral-to-green.
//
// 2) EXITS
// • Weakness exit → when 1B flips against your position while 2B is neutral/red.
// • Full exit → when ALL RED prints.
// • Time stop → if price hasn’t moved after several bars of your execution timeframe.
//
// 3) STOP-LOSS / RISK
// • Place stops beyond the latest opposite swing used by 2B or 3B.
// • Add 0.5–1× ATR buffer if your market has stop-hunt volatility.
// • Always size position based on the distance to the swing stop.
//
// 4) WHEN TO IGNORE SIGNALS
// • Chop zones → 1B flipping repeatedly while 2B/3B disagree.
// • News candles → wait for pivots to confirm on the *closed* bar.
//
// 5) USING WITH OTHER TOOLS
// • With a trend ribbon (e.g., Larsson-style):
// Only take ALL GREEN longs when the ribbon is UP, and ALL RED shorts when ribbon is DOWN.
// • With a Fear & Greed index:
// Prefer longs when F&G > 60,
// Avoid longs when F&G < 40 unless countertrend scalping.
//
// 6) TIMEFRAME GUIDANCE
// • Scalping: 5m / 15m, confirmed by 1H or 4H boxes.
// • Swinging: 1H / 4H with daily filter.
// • Positioning: 1D with weekly confirmation.
//
// 7) INTERPRETATION CHEATSHEET
// • 1B green, 2B grey, 3B red → short-term bounce inside higher timeframe downtrend.
// • 1B/2B green, 3B grey → early trend reversal forming.
// • All grey → fresh swing area; wait for direction.
//
// 8) CUSTOMIZATION
// • len1 / len2 / len3 control sensitivity (higher = slower & cleaner).
// • Can add a timeframe header box (e.g., “15m / 4H / 1D”).

Liquidity Sweep & Reversal — Body Anchored + Risk (v6)Overview
The Liquidity Sweep & Reversal — Locked to Price (v6) indicator identifies liquidity sweeps around major swing highs and lows, confirming reversals when price closes back inside the swept level.
All signals are locked to price (bottom of green candle for BUY, top of red candle for SELL), so they remain perfectly aligned when zooming or scaling.
This indicator is ideal for swing traders and scalpers who trade reversals, liquidity events, and reclaim structures.
How It Works
Detects confirmed swing highs and lows using a pivot-based structure.
Waits for a liquidity sweep — when price wicks beyond a recent swing.
Confirms a reclaim when price closes back inside the previous swing level.
Triggers a BUY or SELL signal anchored to the candle body.
Automatically calculates stop loss and risk using ATR and your inputs.
Input Settings
Swing Detection
Swing Detection Strength: How many bars confirm a swing pivot. Higher = stronger swings.
Bars to Confirm Reclaim: Number of bars after a sweep for price to close back within the swing zone.
Swing Proximity %: How close price must come to a swing to count as a liquidity sweep.
Trend Filter (optional)
Use EMA Trend Filter: When enabled, only BUY in uptrend and SELL in downtrend.
Fast EMA Length / Slow EMA Length: Define EMAs used to detect trend direction.
Risk & Stop Management
ATR Length: Period for ATR calculation (volatility measurement).
Base ATR Stop Buffer (x ATR): Distance of stop loss from entry based on ATR multiplier.
Position Size (quote units): Your total position size in quote currency (e.g., USDT).
Risk % of (Position / 20): Defines how much of your position to risk per trade.
Example: (Position / 20) × Risk % = per-trade risk.
Chart Elements
BUY Arrow (green): Appears after a liquidity sweep and reclaim near a swing low.
SELL Arrow (red): Appears after a sweep and reclaim near a swing high.
Labels: Display entry price, stop loss (SL), and calculated risk dollar value.
EMAs: Optional fast/slow moving averages for directional bias.
Dynamic Stops: Adjust automatically using ATR × risk settings.
Trading Tips
Use BUY signals near liquidity sweeps under swing lows.
Use SELL signals near liquidity sweeps above swing highs.
Adjust swing length for different timeframes:
Lower values for scalping (3–5)
Higher values for swing trading (7–10)
Respect stop loss levels and use risk control settings for consistent sizing.
Combine with volume, OBV, or structure for confirmation.
Alerts
BUY — Locked to Price: "BUY: swing low reclaimed with dynamic stop."
SELL — Locked to Price: "SELL: swing high reclaimed with dynamic stop."
Best Use Cases
Liquidity-based reversals
Swing entry confirmation

SMART STRUCTURE PRO
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
A comprehensive market structure analysis tool that identifies institutional trading
patterns and smart money concepts for improved trade timing and decision-making.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📊 WHAT IT DOES
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
This indicator automatically detects and visualizes key market structure elements:
🔹 BOS (Break of Structure)
- Identifies trend continuation patterns
- Marks when price breaks above previous highs (bullish) or below previous lows (bearish)
- Confirms trend strength and momentum
🔹 CHoCH (Change of Character)
- Detects potential trend reversals
- Alerts when market structure shifts from bullish to bearish or vice versa
- Helps identify early reversal opportunities
🔹 Order Blocks
- Highlights institutional entry zones
- Identifies the last opposite candle before a structure break
- Shows areas where smart money likely entered positions
🔹 Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
- Detects price imbalances and inefficiencies
- Shows areas where price moved rapidly leaving gaps
- Often act as support/resistance when retested
🔹 Liquidity Zones
- Marks swing high and low levels
- Identifies areas where stop losses likely cluster
- Shows potential stop hunt and liquidity grab zones
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 HOW TO USE
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
BULLISH SETUP:
1. Wait for Bullish CHoCH (trend reversal signal) or BOS ↑ (continuation)
2. Look for price to pull back into an Order Block or Fair Value Gap
3. Enter long when price bounces from these zones
4. Place stop loss below the Order Block
5. Target the next liquidity zone or resistance level
BEARISH SETUP:
1. Wait for Bearish CHoCH (trend reversal signal) or BOS ↓ (continuation)
2. Look for price to retrace into an Order Block or Fair Value Gap
3. Enter short when price rejects from these zones
4. Place stop loss above the Order Block
5. Target the next liquidity zone or support level
DASHBOARD INTERPRETATION:
• Trend: Current market direction (Bullish/Bearish)
• Volume: Confirmation strength (High volume = stronger signals)
• Signal: Latest structure break detected
• Key High/Low: Critical levels for the current trend
• Position: Price location (Premium = expensive, Discount = cheap)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚙️ SETTINGS GUIDE
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
STRUCTURE DETECTION:
• Pivot Length (Default: 10)
- Lower values = More signals but potentially weaker
- Higher values = Fewer signals but stronger/more reliable
- Recommended: 8-12 for intraday, 10-15 for higher timeframes
• Structure Line Extension
- Visual preference for how far lines extend
- Does not affect signal detection
SMART MONEY CONCEPTS:
• Order Block Extension: How long OB boxes remain visible
• FVG Extension: How long gap boxes remain visible
• Min FVG Size: Filter out small gaps (0 = show all)
- Set to 10-20% to reduce noise
- Set to 0 to see all gaps
VOLUME FILTER:
• Volume Confirmation (Recommended: ON)
- Filters weak signals without volume support
- Reduces false breakouts
• Volume Multiplier (Default: 1.5)
- Higher = Stricter filtering (fewer but stronger signals)
- Lower = More signals (but may include weak ones)
DISPLAY:
• Dashboard: Toggle information panel
• Trend Background: Subtle color tint showing current trend
• Dashboard Position: Choose corner placement

⚠️ IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
REPAINTING BEHAVIOR:
• Pivot points WILL repaint until confirmed (this is by design and unavoidable)
• Structure breaks (BOS/CHoCH) use CLOSED candles and do NOT repaint after confirmation
• Order Blocks and FVGs are drawn on confirmed signals and do NOT repaint
• All signals wait for candle close before triggering
BEST PRACTICES:
• Use on higher timeframes (15min+) for more reliable signals
• Combine with other analysis (support/resistance, volume profile, etc.)
• Wait for candle close confirmation before acting on signals
• Use proper risk management - this is not a standalone trading system
• Backtest on your preferred instrument and timeframe
PERFORMANCE:
• Limited to 100 boxes, 100 lines, 100 labels for optimal performance
• Older objects automatically removed as new ones appear
• Works on all markets (Forex, Crypto, Stocks, Indices, Commodities)

📚 CONCEPTS EXPLAINED
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
MARKET STRUCTURE:
Market structure refers to the pattern of price movements creating swing highs
and lows. Understanding structure helps identify trend direction and potential
reversal points.
SMART MONEY CONCEPTS:
These are trading techniques based on tracking institutional order flow and
understanding where large players (banks, funds, institutions) enter and exit
positions.
ORDER BLOCKS:
The last opposing candle before a strong directional move. Institutions often
leave unfilled orders in these zones, which can act as support/resistance when
price returns.
FAIR VALUE GAPS:
Areas where price moved so quickly that it left an imbalance. These gaps often
get "filled" as price returns to find equilibrium, creating trading opportunities.

BSL/SSL Sweep + FVG Strategy Jobin (c) The New York ATM Model is a structured intraday strategy designed to capture algorithmic stop-hunts and reversals during the New York session open. It focuses on liquidity sweeps—either Buy-Side or Sell-Side—followed by a confirmation using Fair Value Gaps (FVGs).
Simple Liquidity Zones [Supertrade]🔎 What this indicator does
This indicator is designed to highlight liquidity sweep zones on the chart.
• A liquidity sweep occurs when price briefly breaks above a recent swing high or below a recent swing low, but fails to close beyond it.
• Such behavior often indicates that price has taken liquidity (stop orders resting above highs or below lows) and may reverse.
The indicator marks these events as bullish or bearish liquidity zones:
• Bullish Zone (green) → Price swept a swing low and closed back above it (possible bullish reversal area).
• Bearish Zone (red) → Price swept a swing high and closed back below it (possible bearish reversal area).
These zones are drawn as shaded horizontal bands that extend forward in time, providing visual areas where liquidity grabs occurred.
________________________________________
⚙️ How calculations are made
The indicator does not use moving averages or smoothing.
Instead, it works with raw price action:
1. Swing Detection → It checks the highest high and lowest low of the past N bars (swing length).
2. Sweep Logic →
o A bearish sweep happens if the high breaks above the previous swing high, but the close returns below that level.
o A bullish sweep happens if the low breaks below the previous swing low, but the close returns above that level.
3. Zone Creation → When a sweep is detected, a shaded zone is drawn just above/below the swing level.
4. Persistence → Zones extend into the future until replaced by new ones (or optionally until price fully trades through them).
This makes the calculations simple, transparent, and responsive to actual market structure without lag.
________________________________________
📈 How it helps traders
This tool helps traders by:
• Visualizing liquidity areas → Shows where price previously swept liquidity and may act as support/resistance.
• Identifying reversals → Helps spot potential turning points after liquidity grabs.
• Risk management → Zones highlight areas where stops may be targeted, useful for positioning stop-loss orders.
• Confluence tool → Works best when combined with other strategies such as order blocks, trendlines, or volume analysis.
⚠️ Note: Like all indicators, this should not be used in isolation. It provides context, not guaranteed trade signals.
________________________________________
🏦 Markets & Timeframes
• Works across all markets (crypto, forex, stocks, indices, commodities).
• Particularly effective in high-liquidity environments where stop-hunting is common (e.g., forex majors, BTC/ETH, S&P500).
• Timeframes:
o Lower timeframes (1m–15m) → Scalpers can spot intraday liquidity sweeps.
o Higher timeframes (1H–1D) → Swing traders can identify major liquidity pools.
