Psychological levels (Bank levels) PsychoLevels v3 - TartigradiaPsychological levels (Bank levels) plots the closest "round" price levels above and below current price, based on neuroscience research of how humans intuitively calculate in logarithms.
Psychological levels, also called bank levels, are "round" price numbers, by truncating after the nth leftmost digits, around which price often experience resistance or support, because traders and investors tend to set orders around these round numbers.
The calculation done here is fully automatic and dynamic, contrary to other similar scripts, this one uses a mathematical calculation that extracts the 1, 2 or 3 leftmost digits and calculate the previous and next level by incrementing/decrementing these digits. This means it works for any symbol under any price range.
This approach is based on neuroscience research, which found that human brains intuitively approximate numbers on a logarithmic scale, adults and children alike, and similarly to macaques, for more info see Numerical Cognition , Weber-Fechner Law , Zipf law .
For example, if price is at 0.0421, the next major price level is 0.05 and medium one is 0.043. For another asset currently priced at 19354, the next and previous major price levels are 20000 and 10000 respectively, and the next/previous medium levels are 20000 and 19000, and the next/previous weak levels are 19400 and 19300.
IMPORTANT: Please enable "Scale price chart only" in the chart's scale's options, as otherwise major levels may make the chart's scale very small and hard to read.
How it works
At any time, there are 3 levels of strength (1 leftmost digit, 2 leftmost digits, 3 leftmost digits) represented by different sizes, and 3 directional levels for each of these strengths (level above, level below, and half-level) represented by different colors and positions, around current price.
Indeed, contrary to other similar price levels scripts, we do not plot ALL price levels at all times, because otherwise the chart becomes wayyy too cluttered, and also it's highly processing intensive to plot so many lines. So we here use a dynamical approach: we plot only the relevant levels, the closest ones according to current price.
Hence, when a level disappears, it does not mean that it does not exist anymore, but simply that we are not drawing it right now because it is not pertinent for the current price movement (ie, too far away).
Breakouts can be detected in two different ways depending on if SMA is set to a value higher than 1 or not: if SMA == 1, then there is no smoothing, so the levels adapt instantaneously to the current price, so to detect breakout, you should refer to the levels at the previous tick and whether they were broken by current tick's price; if SMA > 1, then there is some smoothing, and so the levels will stay in-place even if there is a breakout, so it's easier to spot breakouts without having to look at the previous ticks, but on the other hand you won't see the new levels for the new price range until after a few more ticks for the smoothing window to adapt. Hence, by default, smoothing is disabled, so that you can see the currently pertinent levels at all time, even right after or during a breakout.
By default, the strong above level is in green, strong below level is in red, medium above level is in blue, medium below level is in yellow, and weak levels aren't displayed but can be. Half levels are also displayed, in a darker color. Strong levels are increments of the first leftmost digit (eg, 10000 to 20000), medium levels are increments of the second leftmost digit (eg, 19000 to 20000), and weak levels of the third leftmost digit (eg, 19100 to 19200). Instead of plotting all the psychological levels all at once as a grid, which makes the chart unintelligible, here the levels adapt dynamically around the current price, so that they show the above/below/half levels relatively to the current price.
Indeed, "half-levels" are also displayed (eg, medium level can also display 19500 instead of only 19000 or 20000). This was made because otherwise the gap between two levels was too big, especially for the strongest levels (eg, there was no major level between 20000 and 30000, but with a half-step we also get a half-level at 25000, and empirically price tends to respect these half levels - I also tried quarter levels but empirically the results were not good). In addition to this hard-coded half-level, you can also create more subdivisions (eg, quarter levels) by setting the simple moving average to a value higher than 1.
The script can be made to run on the daily timeframe whatever the current chart's timeframe is, to reduce the variability in levels, to make it less noisy than intraday price movement. But by default, the chart resolution is used, because I empirically found that the levels found with this indicator work on all time resolutions quite well.
The step can be adjusted to increase the gap between levels, eg, if you want to display one every 2 levels then input step = 2 (eg, 22000, 24000, 26000, etc), or if you want to display quarter levels, input 0.25 (eg, 22000, 22250, 22500, etc). The default values should fit most use cases and cover most psychological levels.
How to read
Focust first on bigger dotted levels, they are stronger and more likely to cause a rebound or a major event or price to stay at this level.
Remember that it's not enough to just look at levels, the context is important, because levels have various effects depending on current price movement: if price is above a level, the level is a support on which price can rebound; if price is below a level, the level is a resistance on which price can rebound (or break); and finally sometimes price also stays hovering around a level for some time.
Levels closer to 9 are less weaker, and levels closer to 0 are stronger, according to Zipf law. This is now reflected since v3 in the transparency, levels that are closer to 9 will be more transparent.
The switch in color for the same level illustrates how a level switches from being a support to a resistance and inversely. Eg, if a major level turns from green to red, then it changed from being a resistance (above) to a support (below).
As is well known in trading, longer standing levels are stronger. This indicator provides a direct illustration: in practice, the number of consecutive dots on the same line influences the strength of the level: the longer the chain of dots, the more you can expect this price level to be significant. The length does not mean the level will necessarily hold, but that other traders are likely to monitor if it holds, and if not then price will break down. Hence, longer levels are good spots to place stop losses, or to enter trades depending on your strategy. In general, a single dot is not enough to consider a level significant, but 2 or more is a good enough level, and 10+ is a strong level. Intuitively, this makes sense, and is what pro traders do: the longer a level is tested, the stronger it is. This indicator can visually represent this intuition and allows to use it as a more systematic trading signal.
Motivation
I initially made the first version of the PsychoLevels indicator mainly to train with PineScript, but I found it surprisingly accurate to define levels that are respected by price movements. So I guess it can be useful for new traders and experienced traders alike, as it's easy to forget that psychological levels can often be as strong if not stronger than technical levels. It can also be used to quickly screen other minor assets for trading opportunities. For example, a hybrid strategy would be to manually define levels on BTCUSD but using this script to automatically define levels in crypto altcoins and quickly screen them for a trade opportunity that can be greater than with BTCUSD but with the same trend.
Personally, although initially I did not believe an automated tool would work well for this purpose, I could now empirically verify that it is quite reliable for the purpose of detecting levels, and so I use it all the time to find the levels automatically and help me monitor them like a hawk, so that I only have to draw uber major levels, the ones that last between cycles and that are hard to autodetect, but otherwise all daily/weekly levels are usually covered. However, trendlines must still be drawn manually or with another indicator (but note that up to now I have found none that worked well enough), as PsychoLevels only draws levels (ie, horizontal lines, not oblique ones!).
Differences with the previous version PsychoLevels v2
price levels now have a transparency according to their importance for the human brain: numbers closer to 9 are weaker, and numbers closer to 0 are stronger and represent a major psychological threshold (eg, that's why prices marked as $9.99 sell better than $10.00). This option can be disabled to get the exact same behavior as v2.

Order Blocks & Breaker Blocks [LuxAlgo]The Order Blocks & Breaker Blocks indicator detects order blocks that can be turned into breaker blocks on the chart automatically once mitigated.
Users can determine the amount of bullish and bearish order/breaker blocks that display on their chart from within the settings menu.
🔶 SETTINGS
Swing Lookback: Lookback period used for the detection of the swing points used to create order blocks.
Show Last Bullish OB: Number of the most recent bullish order/breaker blocks to display on the chart.
Show Last Bearish OB: Number of the most recent bearish order/breaker blocks to display on the chart.
Use Candle Body: Allows users to use candle bodies as order block areas instead of the full candle range.
🔹 Style
Show Historical Polarity Changes: Allows users to see labels indicating where a swing high/low previously occurred within a breaker block.
🔶 USAGE
We have published several scripts covering the detection of order blocks previously, however, the concept of breaker blocks was not yet introduced.
When price mitigates an order block, a breaker block is confirmed. We can eventually expect price to trade back to this breaker block offering a new trade opportunity.
We can see that this is similar to a change in polarity, where a support becomes a resistance after a breakout and vice versa.
This script highlights regular order blocks as solid extended areas on the chart and breaker blocks as dashed lines with dual-colored areas. The color change and dashed line starts at the location where the order block was mitigated.
Using a higher "Swing Lookback" setting will return longer term order/breaker blocks on the chart.
Users can optionally enable "Historical Polarity Changes" labels within the settings menu to see where breaker blocks might have provided an effective trade setup previously.
The "Historical Polarity Changes" setting is disabled by default & is most effective using replay mode as the labels are backpainted.
The order blocks & breaker blocks themselves can be used in real-time as they are detected based on the swing length & previous breaker blocks being mitigated.
ICT Implied Fair Value Gap (IFVG) [LuxAlgo]An Implied Fair Value Gap (IFVG) is a three candles imbalance formation conceptualized by ICT that is based on detecting a larger candle body & then measuring the average between the two adjacent candle shadows.
This indicator automatically detects this imbalance formation on your charts and can be extended by a user set number of bars.
The IFVG average can also be extended until a new respective IFVG is detected, serving as a support/resistance line.
Alerts for the detection of bullish/bearish IFVG's are also included in this script.
🔶 SETTINGS
Shadow Threshold %: Threshold percentage used to filter out IFVG's with low adjacent candles shadows.
IFVG Extension: Number of bars used to extend highlighted IFVG's areas.
Extend Averages: Extend IFVG's averages up to a new detected respective IFVG.
🔶 USAGE
Users of this indicator can primarily find it useful for trading imbalances just as they would for trading regular Fair Value Gaps or other imbalances, which aims to highlight a disparity between supply & demand.
For trading a bullish IFVG, users can find this imbalance as an area where price is likely to fill or act as an area of support.
In the same way, a user could trade bearish IFVGs by seeing it as a potential area to be filled or act as resistance within a downtrend.
Users can also extend the IFVG averages and use them as longer-term support/resistances levels. This can highlight the ability of detected IFVG to provide longer term significant support and resistance levels.
🔶 DETAILS
Various methods have been proposed for the detection of regular FVG's, and as such it would not be uncommon to see various methods for the implied version.
We propose the following identification rules for the algorithmic detection of IFVG's:
🔹 Bullish
Central candle body is larger than the body of the adjacent candles.
Current price low is higher than high price two bars ago.
Current candle lower shadow makes up more than p percent of its total candle range.
Candle upper shadow two bars ago makes up more than p percent of its total candle range.
The average of the current candle lower shadow is greater than the average of the candle upper shadow two bars ago.
where p is the user set threshold.
🔹 Bearish
Central candle body is larger than the body of the adjacent candles.
Current price high is higher than low price two bars ago.
Current candle upper shadow makes up more than p percent of its total candle range.
Candle lower shadow two bars ago makes up more than p percent of its total candle range.
The average of the candle lower shadow 2 bars ago is greater than the average of the current candle higher shadow.
where p is the user set threshold.
🔶 SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL
You can see our previously posted script that detects various imbalances as well as regular Fair Value Gaps which have very similar usability to Implied Fair Value Gaps here:
Sonarlab - Psych/Whole Number Levels Have you ever noticed that prices seem to stick to certain “round numbers” like $1250, $1300, or $1350? It’s not just your imagination — these round numbers can actually act as psychological levels in the market, influencing trader behavior and shaping price action.
But why do traders care so much about these round numbers? It all comes down to our psychological wiring. Humans are naturally drawn to symmetry and simplicity, and round numbers offer a nice, neat way to measure price levels. Plus, these levels often coincide with important milestones or historical levels of support and resistance, giving them even more psychological weight.
To help you take advantage of these psychological levels in your trading, we’ve created a free TradingView indicator that automatically plots round numbers on your chart. Whether you’re a seasoned trader or just starting out, this indicator can give you a valuable edge in the market.
Here’s how the Indicator works:
1. Install the indicator on your TradingView chart. You can find it in the public library by searching for “Round Numbers Indicator”.
2. Select your preferred round numbers and customize the appearance of the indicator to fit your chart. The default settings are already set good.
3. Watch as the round numbers dynamically adjust to the current price action, providing you with a clear view of the market’s psychological levels.
Order Block Detector [LuxAlgo]This script makes use of high-volume activity as an indicator of the presence of market participants accumulating orders in specific areas on a lower timeframe by detecting volume peaks to form order blocks.
Mitigated order blocks are automatically hidden from the chart, also allowing users to be able to select two different mitigation methods "wick" and "close".
Additionally, users can be alerted for the creation and mitigation of bullish/bearish order blocks.
Settings
Volume Pivot Length: Lookback of the pivot function used to detect volume peaks, lower values will detect order blocks more frequently.
Bullish OB: Determines the number of most recent unmitigated bullish order blocks to display on the chart.
Bearish OB: Determines the number of most recent unmitigated bullish order blocks to display on the chart.
Bearish OB: Determines the number of most recent unmitigated bullish order blocks to display on the chart.
Average Line Style: Line style of the average order block level.
Average Line Width: Line width of the average order block level.
Mitigation Methods: Method used to determine how an order block is mitigated. "Wick" will mitigate order blocks if the candle wick goes outside of the order block and "Close" will mitigate order blocks if the closing price goes outside of the order block.
Usage
It is common for more significant market participants to execute orders incrementally in order to avoid overwhelming the market and cause significant price movements. This practice allows the orders to be executed more efficiently and effectively, reducing the impact on the market and minimizing the potential for price volatility.
Order blocks are price areas where these orders are executed incrementally and are commonly used as areas of support/resistance for traders.
Bearish order blocks occur during a downtrend, while bullish order blocks occur in an uptrend. Bullish order blocks range from the price low to the median price, while bearish order blocks range from the median price to the price high. The median price is used as an equilibrium point.
Users can highlight the bars where an order block was detected from the style settings by toggling on the 'Bull OB' or 'Bear OB' selections.
Note that in order to confirm a peak Volume Pivot Length bars are needed, as such note that order blocks are shown retrospectively.
Open Interest Profile (OI)- By LeviathanThis script implements the concept of Open Interest Profile, which can help you analyze the activity of traders and identify the price levels where they are opening/closing their positions. This data can serve as a confluence for finding the areas of support and resistance , targets and placing stop losses. OI profiles can be viewed in the ranges of days, weeks, months, Tokyo sessions, London sessions and New York sessions.
A short introduction to Open Interest
Open Interest is a metric that measures the total amount of open derivatives contracts in a specific market at a given time. A valid contract is formed by both a buyer who opens a long position and a seller who opens a short position. This means that OI represents the total value of all open longs and all open shorts, divided by two. For example, if Open Interest is showing a value of $1B, it means that there is $1B worth of long and $1B worth of short contracts currently open/unsettled in a given market.
OI increasing = new long and short contracts are entering the market
OI decreasing = long and short contracts are exiting the market
OI unchanged = the net amount of positions remains the same (no new entries/exits or just a transfer of contracts occurring)
About this indicator
*This script is basically a modified version of my previous "Market Sessions and Volume Profile by @LeviathanCapital" indicator but this time, profiles are generated from Tradingview Open Interest data instead of volume (+ some other changes).
The usual representation of OI shows Open Interest value and its change based on time (for a particular day, time frame or each given candle). This indicator takes the data and plots it in a way where you can see the OI activity (change in OI) based on price levels. To put it simply, instead of observing WHEN (time) positions are entering/exiting the market, you can now see WHERE (price) positions are entering/exiting the market. This is the same concept as when it comes to Volume and Volume profile and therefore, similar strategies and ways of understanding the given data can be applied here. You can even combine the two to gain an edge (eg. high OI increase + Volume Profile showing dominant market selling = possible aggressive shorts taking place)
Green nodes = OI increase
Red nodes = OI decrease
A cluster of large green nodes can be used for support and resistance levels (*trapped traders theory) or targets (lots of liquidations and stop losses above/below), OI Profile gaps can present an objective for the price to fill them (liquidity gaps, imbalances, inefficiencies, etc), and more.
Indicator settings
1. Session/Lookback - Choose the range from where the OI Profile will be generated
2. OI Profile Mode - Mode 1 (shows only OI increase), Mode 2 (shows both OI increase and decrease), Mode 3 (shows OI decrease on left side and OI increase on the right side).
3. Show OI Value Area - Shows the area where most OI activity took place (useful as a range or S/R level )
4. Show Session Box - Shows the box around chosen sessions/lookback
5. Show Profile - Show/hide OI Profile
6. Show Current Session - Show/hide the ongoing session
7. Show Session Labels - Show/hide the text labels for each session
8. Resolution - The higher the value, the more refined a profile is, but fewer profiles are shown on the chart
9. OI Value Area % - Choose the percentage of VA (same as in Volume Profile's VA)
10. Smooth OI Data - Useful for assets that have very large spikes in OI over large bars, helps create better profiles
11. OI Increase - Pick the color of OI increase nodes in the profile
12. OI Decrease - Pick the color of OI decrease nodes in the profile
13. Value Area Box - Pick the color of the Value Area Box
14. Session Box Thickness - Pick the thickness of the lines surrounding the chosen sessions
Advice
The indicator calculates the profile based on candles - the more candles you can show, the better profile will be formed. This means that it's best to view most sessions on timeframes like 15min or lower. The only exception is the Monthly profile, where timeframes above 15min should be used. Just take a few minutes and switch between timeframes and sessions and you will figure out the optimal settings.
This is the first version of Open Interest Profile script so please understand that it will be improved in future updates.
Thank you for your support.

[ChasinAlts] SuppRe-me ZonesHello fellow tradeurs, I couldn't find one similar on TV so wanted to make it.. Took me a little while to figure some things out as I am in new coding territory with this script. I had a hard time finding ways to make only a partial zone/box disappear if price only crossed part of it. Nonetheless, I figured it out so I hope you enjoy the outcome. Now, allow me to take a second to first explain the utility that is this script...or at least expose my reasoning when I decided to go ahead with this little project and take the precious time necessary to learn parts of pine that I did not previously know how to deal with. Ultimately, I built this for the 1s-15s TF(except for the "Consecutive Bars/Large Bars" Boxes...Those were meant to use on both these second TFs and Higher TFs.... ). The reasoning behind all of this was to give me a more definitive answer to all of my questions regarding the speed at which it would take price to revisit areas that it very abruptly went to/left on a VERY short TF (like the 1sec charts)...or even if it EVER would). To determine this I wanted to draw lines starting at the end of large wicks, draw boxes spanning the entire span of large wicks, and lastly to draw boxes spanning the entire span of very large bodies. For this last one, not only did I want to draw a box on a single candle that possessed a large body but also if there were consecutive red candles in a row, their bodies could be summed up and if this summation exceeds the minimum body % threshold then it too counts just like a single large candled body would if it was larger than the threshold. All in all I really enjoyed this script and most importantly the data that it produces. What I found after coding the script was that (again on the 1 sec- 15 sec charts) was that price very quickly (relatively speaking I suppose) came back over these box/zoned areas and that the lines drawn from the tip of the large wicks would at some point in the near future act as very good support and resistance for price to either bounce off of or breakout from.
Now, with each of these objects you can choose to delete them when price crosses the object or have them continuously drawn on the chart...your call...but it gets awful messy sometimes if you let them continue printing.
Peace and love people...peace and love,
-ChasinAlts

Previous N Days/Weeks/Months High LowJapanese below / 日本語説明は下記
This indicator displays previous N days/weeks/months’ highs and lows simultaneously.
N is user input and users can separately input different N for highs and lows.
For instance, if you would like to show past 20days high and 10days low, you specify 20 for high and 10 for low.
Similar to highs and lows of yesterday, last week and last month which I previously developed a indicator for(see the link below), highs and lows of specific terms such as quarters are also respected as supports and resistances.
A legendary trader group, Turtles also uses 20days high/low break as one of their strategies.
Alerts can be set with the conditions below.
-Crossing over previous day’s high
-Crossing under previous day’s low
-Crossing over previous week’s high
-Crossing under previous week’s low
-Crossing over previous month’s high
-Crossing under previous month’s low
Please note that when we say past 2 days in this indicator, past 2days mean yesterday and day before yesterday, so “today” is not included as “today’s” high/low have yet to be fixed.
Related indicator: High/Low Yesterday&Last week&Last month&Last Year

High Volume Price Levels x3This script detects recent huge volume areas to help you finding out good support and resistance levels.
For each of the 3 periods (defaults : 100, 200, 500) a new line will be drawn from the last time the volume amount exceeded n% (default 99%) of the highest volume on the same period, to the next occurence.
Most of time, these lines represent strong support and resistance levels which can be helpful in your technical analysis.
Options:
Volume trigger level: represents the minimum % of the highest volume within the given period on which you want to draw a new price level. (But higher this % is, stronger the levels will be)
Periods: The reference periods for high volume detection.
Show period: Enable/Disable the use of any period.
Period Color: Select a color correspondig to each period.
Show current levels only: Disable drawing of previous levels, to display current levels only.
Extend last level: Extend current lines to right/left/both or none sides of your chart.
Notes:
Sometimes, the last detected level from every periods can be the same at the same moment. In this situation, you'll only see one or two of the lines instead of three.
I'd like to figure out how to continuously draw every interesting levels without making the chart unreadable. Of course this script will be updated if I find a good way to do it.
Feel free to suggest any improvements/modifications.
Example:
(IK) Base Break BuyThis strategy first calculates areas of support (bases), and then enters trades if that support is broken. The idea is to profit off of retracement. Dollar-cost-averaging safety orders are key here. This strategy takes into account a .1% commission, and tests are done with an initial capital of 100.00 USD. This only goes long.
The strategy is highly customizable. I've set the default values to suit ETH/USD 15m. If you're trading this on another ticker or timeframe, make sure to play around with the settings. There is an explanation of each input in the script comments. I found this to be profitable across most 'common sense' values for settings, but tweaking led to some pretty promising results. I leaned more towards high risk/high trade volume.
Always remember though: historical performance is no guarantee of future behavior . Keep settings within your personal risk tolerance, even if it promises better profit. Anyone can write a 100% profitable script if they assume price always eventually goes up.
Check the script comments for more details, but, briefly, you can customize:
-How many bases to keep track of at once
-How those bases are calculated
-What defines a 'base break'
-Order amounts
-Safety order count
-Stop loss
Here's the basic algorithm:
-Identify support.
--Have previous candles found bottoms in the same area of the current candle bottom?
--Is this support unique enough from other areas of support?
-Determine if support is broken.
--Has the price crossed under support quickly and with certainty?
-Enter trade with a percentage of initial capital.
-Execute safety orders if price continues to drop.
-Exit trade at profit target or stop loss.
Take profit is dynamic and calculated on order entry. The bigger the 'break', the higher your take profit percentage. This target percentage is based on average position size, so as safety orders are filled, and average position size comes down, the target profit becomes easier to reach.
Stop loss can be calculated one of two ways, either a static level based on initial entry, or a dynamic level based on average position size. If you use the latter (default), be aware, your real losses will be greater than your stated stop loss percentage . For example:
-stop loss = 15%, capital = 100.00, safety order threshold = 10%
-you buy $50 worth of shares at $1 - price average is $1
-you safety $25 worth of shares at $0.9 - price average is $0.966
-you safety $25 worth of shares at $0.8. - price average is $0.925
-you get stopped out at 0.925 * (1-.15) = $0.78625, and you're left with $78.62.
This is a realized loss of ~21.4% with a stop loss set to 15%. The larger your safety order threshold, the larger your real loss in comparison to your stop loss percentage, and vice versa.
Indicator plots show the calculated bases in white. The closest base below price is yellow. If that base is broken, it turns purple. Once a trade is entered, profit target is shown in silver and stop loss in red.
Automatic FibonacciFibonacci retracements are popular among technical traders. In technical analysis, a Fibonacci retracement is created by taking two extreme points (usually a peak and a trough) on a stock chart and dividing the vertical distance by the key Fibonacci ratios of 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 100%. Basic fibo levels are often known to be 14.6%, 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 76.4%, 88.6% and 100%.
This indicator will draw the fibonacci levels automatically. Once these levels are identified, horizontal lines are drawn and used to identify possible support and resistance levels including zones. The fibo levels on this indicator gives you the option to use basic fibo or new paradigm fibo levels. New paradigm fibo levels may be new to most traders, however, the application of new paradigm fibo does allow one to trade with least risk due to the precision of the price action surrounding the fibo levels and zones.
One of the most efficient and great ways to apply this auto fibo indicator and the new paradigm fibo is by only leaving the fibo levels that do have hits and un-selecting the fibo levels that do not have any. You can further remove any other levels so you can trade the zones that these fibo levels create.
In addition, you can also switch the timeframe of the fibo from 1D to different number of days to 1W.
DePriExchange weighted price for cryptocurrencies
DECENTRALIZED PRICE CHART FOR DECENTRALIZED WORLD
See non-manipulated , globally price action that comes from whole liquidity!
The main idea behind this script is that...
The value of each trading pair finally determined globally and the price displayed in exchanges is its own and not global! differences between exchanges, reduced to near zero gradually by market makers and arbitrages, so..
Every min tick price changes Must be backed by liquidity to be part of the global fluctuations
more liquidity gives it more credibility
more credibility give it more weight
..Against opposing movements.
This script can collect price of crypto pairs from 12 exchanges that listed on TV and have effective volume.
In the first step, summarizes the volume of all exchanges and creates the total volume
In the next step, divide each exchange volume to total volume to obtain relative weight of each exchange.
In the final step, multiply each exchange price to weight of itself and summarizes these numbers .. now, we have Exchange weighted price!
The results on high liquidity pairs like BTCUSDT, ETHUSDT, is not much differ then simple chart but when you apply it on lower liquidity, lower time frames of altcoins, you realize its benefits and usefulness. Altcoins chart in composite and simple mode is very differ, I hope you enjoy from TRUE CHART.
With this, also you can..

BTC Transaction/On-Chain Volume (Basic)Description:
Whale: Whale utilizing discounted prices (increasing on-chain volume & decreasing price)
Recovering: Positive momentum in price after potential whale activity
Cycle Volume Support: The transaction volume support during a cycle
What’s the best time to invest?
After institutions make up their mind at low price levels.
How’s on-chain volume related to whales or institutional money?
On-chain volume is contributed not only by using BTC as payment methods, but more importantly by large custodians using the BTC chain to settle internal whale trades. When OTC volume is estimated 2-3 times of exchange volume, and when total on-chain volume is only a small fraction of the exchange volume, the OTC settlement plays a big factor in moving the on-chain volume around.
Why does the price drop further after spotting whale money?
Does new money equal higher true value? Yes.
Does new money equal higher price? No.
Whales could not only ladder in when they see the price on discount, but also push the price further down to accumulate at better price levels. However, either route chosen, it’s most likely for the price to rise to a higher level compared to the level when the whales enter. Whales are here to make money after all.

Advanced Range Theory - ART📊 Advanced Range Theory (ART): The Institutional Blueprint
Stop drawing lines. Start reading the blueprint of the market. Advanced Range Theory (ART) is not another support and resistance indicator; it is a military-grade market structure engine designed to decode the language of institutional capital. It operates on a single, powerful premise: markets move in phases of consolidation and expansion, and the key to anticipation lies in understanding the complete lifecycle of these phases.
ART provides a living, breathing map of the battlefield, identifying institutional accumulation zones and tracking them with unparalleled precision from their inception as "Pending" ranges to their ultimate classification after a breakout. This is your X-ray into the market's skeletal structure.
🔬 THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK: THE ARCHITECTURE OF PRICE ACTION
ART is built on a multi-layered system of logic that moves beyond static levels. It treats ranges as dynamic entities with a narrative—a beginning, a middle, and an end. The core of the system is the dynamic classification engine, which analyzes not just the range, but the character of the price action that resolves it.
1. The Range Lifecycle: From Accumulation to Classification
This is the revolutionary heart of ART. A range's true identity is only revealed by how it is broken.
Phase 1: PENDING (Yellow): A new range is identified based on a period of price consolidation (a "parent" candle followed by a minimum number of "inside" candles). At this stage, it is a neutral zone of potential energy—an area where institutions are likely building positions. It is a question the market has not yet answered.
Phase 2: MITIGATION & CLASSIFICATION: When price breaks out and reaches a calculated extension level, the range is considered "mitigated." At this exact moment, ART analyzes the breakout's DNA to classify the range's true intent:
TYPE 1 - BREAKOUT (Blue): Characterized by a strong, impulsive move with confirming volume. This is a high-conviction breakout, signaling aggressive institutional participation and the likely start of a new trend. It is a statement of intent.
TYPE 2 - REVERSAL (Orange): Occurs when price attempts to break one way but is aggressively rejected, reversing and breaking out the other side. This signals absorption and a "failed auction," often marking significant market turning points.
TYPE 3 - PIVOT (Green): A more balanced breakout, lacking the explosive momentum of a Type 1. This often represents a resolution after a period of indecision or a pivot within a larger trading range.
2. The Hierarchical Map: Source & S/R Levels
ART doesn't just draw boxes; it builds a genealogical map of market structure.
SOURCE LEVEL (Thick Gold Line): This is the "genesis" point—the most recently mitigated range. It acts as the primary point of origin for the current market swing and serves as a critical level for determining overall bias. Price action above the Source is generally bullish; below is bearish.
S/R LEVELS (Cyan Lines): When a range is mitigated, the price level where it broke becomes a key Support/Resistance zone for the future. ART tracks the two most recent S/R levels, as these often act as powerful magnets or rejection points for price.
3. The Multi-Factor Validation Engine
To eliminate noise and focus only on institutionally significant ranges, every potential range must pass a rigorous quality control check:
Time-Based Consolidation: Requires a minimum number of consecutive inside candles (minInsideCandles), ensuring a true period of balance.
Volatility-Based Significance: The range's size must be greater than a multiple of the Average True Range (minRangeSize), filtering out insignificant micro-consolidations.
Participation Confirmation: The parent candle of the range is checked against average volume to ensure there was meaningful activity during its formation.
⚙️ THE COMMAND CONSOLE: CONFIGURING YOUR ART ENGINE
Every input is designed to give you granular control over the detection engine, allowing you to tune ART to any market or timeframe with precision. Each tooltip in the script provides a deep dive, but here is a summary of the core controls.
🎯 ART Detection Engine
Minimum Inside Candles: The soul of the detection algorithm. It defines the minimum number of bars that must be contained within a single "parent" candle to qualify as a range. Higher values (3-4) find major, significant consolidation zones. Lower values (1-2) are more sensitive and will identify shorter-term accumulation patterns.
Extension Multiplier & Fibonacci Extension: These control the profit target projections. The Extension Multiplier uses a simple measured move (e.g., 1.0 = a 1:1 projection of the range's height). The Fibonacci Extension uses the golden ratio (1.618) for harmonically-derived targets.
Mitigation Method (Cross vs. Close): Determines how a breakout is confirmed. Cross is more responsive, triggering as soon as price touches the extension. Close is more conservative, requiring a full candle to close beyond the level, which helps filter out fake-outs from wicks.
Min Range Size (ATR): A crucial noise filter. It ensures that ART ignores tiny, insignificant ranges by requiring a range's height to be a certain multiple of the current market volatility (ATR).
📊 Display & Visual Configuration
These settings give you full control over the visual interface. You can toggle every single element—from the Webb Scanner to the S/R Levels—to create a clean or a comprehensive view. Choose a color theme that suits your charting environment or define a fully custom palette.
🕸️ Webb Analysis Scanner
This is a unique real-time flow analysis tool. It draws dynamic, animated lines from the current price to recent historical points. This visualization helps reveal hidden "tendrils" of momentum and short-term support/resistance that are not immediately obvious, acting as a "sonar" for immediate price flow.
📊 THE ANALYTICS HUB: YOUR DASHBOARD DECODED
The dashboard provides a real-time, at-a-glance intelligence briefing on the current state of market structure as seen by the ART engine.
RANGE METRICS: This section is a "census" of the market's structure. It tells you the total number of ranges identified, how many are still Pending (awaiting a breakout), how many are Unmitigated (active but not yet broken), and how many have been Mitigated (classified and complete).
TYPE BREAKDOWN: This is a powerful gauge of market character. A high count of Type 1 (Breakout) ranges suggests a strong, trending environment. A rising number of Type 2 (Reversal) ranges can signal market exhaustion and potential trend changes. A dominant Type 3 (Pivot) count indicates a balanced, rotational market.
KEY GUIDE: The Large dashboard includes a full legend, so you never have to guess what a line or color represents. It's your built-in user manual.
🎨 DECODING THE BLUEPRINT: A VISUAL INTERPRETATION GUIDE
Every line and color in ART is designed for instant, intuitive understanding.
The Range Lines:
Yellow Lines: A Pending range. This is an active zone of accumulation. Pay close attention.
Colored Lines (Blue/Orange/Green): An unmitigated, classified range. The color tells you its breakout character.
Dotted Lines: A Mitigated range. Its story has been told. These historical levels can still act as support or resistance.
The Identification Zones: These colored boxes appear at a range's origin point after it has been classified. They are the "birth certificate" of the range, permanently marking its type (Breakout, Reversal, or Pivot) and providing an immediate visual history of market behavior.
The Hierarchical Lines:
Thick Gold Line (Source): The most important line on your chart. It is the anchor for your bias.
Cyan Lines (S/R): High-probability decision points. Expect reactions here.
Purple Dotted Lines (Extensions): Logical, calculated profit targets for breaking ranges.
🔧 THE ARCHITECT'S VISION: THE DEVELOPMENT JOURNEY
ART was born from a deep frustration with the static and subjective nature of traditional market structure analysis. Drawing lines by hand is inconsistent, and most indicators are reactive, only confirming what has already happened. The goal was to create a proactive, objective, and dynamic framework that could think about the market in terms of phases and lifecycles.
The breakthrough came from a simple shift in perspective: a range's true character isn't defined when it forms, but by how it resolves. This led to the development of the "post-breakout classification engine," which waits for the market to show its hand before assigning a definitive type. The Webb Scanner was inspired by the desire to visualize the unseen, to create a tool that could feel the immediate "pull" and "push" of price flow. The result is not just an indicator; it is a new language for interpreting price action, built on a foundation of logic, clarity, and precision.
⚠️ RISK DISCLAIMER & BEST PRACTICES
Advanced Range Theory is a professional-grade analytical tool designed to enhance a trader's decision-making process. It does not provide direct buy or sell signals. The levels and classifications it generates are based on historical price action and mathematical probabilities. All trading involves substantial risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results. Always use this tool in conjunction with a robust risk management plan.

Entropy Chart Analysis [PhenLabs]📊 Entropy Chart analysis -
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The Entropy Chart indicator analysis applies Approximate Entropy (ApEn) to identify zones of potential support and resistance on your price chart. It is designed to locate changes in the market’s predictability, with a focus on zones near significant psychological price levels (e.g., multiples of 50). By quantifying entropy, the indicator aims to identify zones where price action might stabilize (potential support) or become randomized (potential resistance).
This tool automates the visualization of these key areas for traders, which may have the effect of revealing reversal levels or consolidation zones that would be hard to discern through traditional means. It also filters the signals by proximity to key levels in an attempt to reduce noise and highlight higher-probability setups. These dynamic zones adapt to changing market conditions by stretching, merging, and expiring based on user-inputted rules.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Combines Approximate Entropy (ApEn) calculation with price action near significant levels.
Filters zone signals based on proximity (in ticks) to predefined significant price levels (multiples of 50).
Dynamically merges overlapping or nearby zones to consolidate signals and reduce chart clutter.
Uses ApEn crossovers relative to its moving average as the core trigger mechanism.
Provides distinct visual coloring for bullish, bearish, and merged (mixed-signal) zones.
Offers comprehensive customization for entropy calculation, zone sensitivity, level filtering, and visual appearance.
🔧 Core Components
Approximate Entropy (ApEn) Calculation : Measures the regularity or randomness of price fluctuations over a specified window. Low ApEn suggests predictability, while high ApEn suggests randomness.
Zone Trigger Logic : Creates potential support zones when ApEn crosses below its average (indicating increasing predictability) and potential resistance zones when it crosses above (indicating increasing randomness).
Significant Level Filter : Validates zone triggers only if they occur within a user-defined tick distance from significant price levels (multiples of 50).
Dynamic Zone Management : Automatically creates, extends, merges nearby zones based on tick distance, and removes the oldest zones to maintain a maximum limit.
Zone Visualization : Draws and updates colored boxes on the chart to represent active support, resistance, or mixed zones.
🔥 Key Features
Entropy-Based S/R Detection : Uses ApEn to identify potential support (low entropy) and resistance (high entropy) areas.
Significant Level Filtering : Enhances signal quality by focusing on entropy changes near key psychological price points.
Automatic Zone Drawing & Merging : Visualizes zones dynamically, merging close signals for clearer interpretation.
Highly Customizable : Allows traders to adjust parameters for ApEn calculation, zone detection thresholds, level filter sensitivity, merging distance, and visual styles.
Integrated Alerts : Provides built-in alert conditions for the formation of new bullish or bearish zones near significant levels.
Clear Visual Output : Uses distinct, customizable colors for buy (support), sell (resistance), and mixed (merged) zones.
🎨 Visualization
Buy Zones : Represented by greenish boxes (default: #26a69a), indicating potential support areas formed during low entropy periods near significant levels.
Sell Zones : Represented by reddish boxes (default: #ef5350), indicating potential resistance areas formed during high entropy periods near significant levels.
Mixed Zones : Represented by bluish/purple boxes (default: #8894ff), formed when a buy zone and a sell zone merge, indicating areas of potential consolidation or conflict.
Dynamic Extension : Active zones are automatically extended to the right with each new bar.

✅ Best Use Cases
Identifying potential support/resistance near significant psychological price levels (e.g., $50, $100 increments).
Detecting potential market turning points or consolidation zones based on shifts in price predictability.
Filtering entries or exits by confirming signals occurring near significant levels identified by the indicator.
Adding context to other technical analysis approaches by highlighting entropy-derived zones.
⚠️ Limitations
Parameter Dependency : Indicator performance is sensitive to parameter settings ( Window Length , Tolerance , Zone Threshold , Max Ticks Distance ), which may need optimization for different assets and timeframes.
Volatility Sensitivity : High market volatility or erratic price action can affect ApEn calculations and potentially lead to less reliable zone signals.
Fixed Level Filter : The significant level filter is based on multiples of 50. While common, this may not capture all relevant levels for every asset or market condition. Accurate Tick Size input is essential.
Not Standalone : Should be used in conjunction with other analysis methods (price action, volume, other indicators) for confirmation, not as a sole basis for trading decisions.
💡 What Makes This Unique
Entropy + Level Context : Uniquely combines ApEn analysis with a specific filter for proximity to significant price levels (multiples of 50), adding locational context to entropy signals.
Intelligent Zone Merging : Automatically consolidates nearby buy/sell zones based on tick distance, simplifying visual analysis and highlighting stronger confluence areas.
Targeted Signal Generation : Focuses alerts and zone creation on specific market conditions (entropy shifts near key levels).
🔬 How It Works
Calculate Entropy : The script computes the Approximate Entropy (ApEn) of the closing prices over the defined Window Length to quantify price predictability.
Check Triggers : It monitors ApEn relative to its moving average. A crossunder below a calculated threshold (avg_apen / zone_threshold) indicates potential support; a crossover above (avg_apen * zone_threshold) indicates potential resistance.
Filter by Level : A potential zone trigger is confirmed only if the low (for support) or high (for resistance) of the trigger bar is within the Max Ticks Distance of a significant price level (multiple of 50).
Manage & Draw Zones : If a trigger is confirmed, a new zone box is created. The script checks for overlaps with existing zones within the Zone Merge Distance and merges them if necessary. Zones are extended forward, and the oldest are removed to respect the Maximum Zones limit. Active zones are drawn and updated on the chart.
💡 Note:
Crucially, set the Tick Size parameter correctly for your specific trading instrument in the “Level Filter Settings”. Incorrect Tick Size will make the significant level filter inaccurate.
Experiment with parameters, especially Window Length , Tolerance (r) , Zone Threshold , and Max Ticks Distance , to tailor the indicator’s sensitivity to your preferred asset and timeframe.
Always use this indicator as part of a comprehensive trading plan, incorporating risk management and seeking confirmation from other analysis techniques.
Low Liquidity Zones [PhenLabs]📊 Low Liquidity Zones
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
Low Liquidity Zones identifies and highlights periods of unusually low trading volume on your chart, marking areas where price movement occurred with minimal participation. These zones often represent potential support and resistance levels that may be more susceptible to price breakouts or reversals when revisited with higher volume.
Unlike traditional volume analysis tools that focus on high volume spikes, this indicator specializes in detecting low liquidity areas where price moved with minimal resistance. Each zone displays its volume delta, providing insight into buying vs. selling pressure during these thin liquidity periods. This combination of low volume detection and delta analysis helps traders identify potential price inefficiencies and weak structures in the market.
🚀 Points of Innovation
• Identifies low liquidity zones that most volume indicators overlook but which often become significant technical levels
• Displays volume delta within each zone, showing net buying/selling pressure during low liquidity periods
• Dynamically adjusts to different timeframes, allowing analysis across multiple time horizons
• Filters zones by maximum size percentage to focus only on precise price levels
• Maintains historical zones until they expire based on your lookback settings, creating a cumulative map of potential support/resistance areas
🔧 Core Components
• Low Volume Detection: Identifies candles where volume falls below a specified threshold relative to recent average volume, highlighting potential liquidity gaps.
• Volume Delta Analysis: Calculates and displays the net buying/selling pressure within each low liquidity zone, providing insight into the directional bias during low participation periods.
• Dynamic Timeframe Adjustment: Automatically scales analysis periods to match your selected timeframe preference, ensuring consistent identification of low liquidity zones regardless of chart settings.
• Zone Management System: Creates, tracks, and expires low liquidity zones based on your configured settings, maintaining visual clarity on the chart.
🔥 Key Features
• Low Volume Identification: Automatically detects and highlights candles where volume falls below your specified threshold compared to the moving average.
• Volume Delta Visualization: Shows the net volume delta within each zone, providing insight into whether buyers or sellers were dominant despite the low overall volume.
• Flexible Timeframe Analysis: Analyze low liquidity zones across multiple predefined timeframes or use a custom lookback period specific to your trading style.
• Zone Size Filtering: Filters out excessively large zones to focus only on precise price levels, improving signal quality.
• Automatic Zone Expiration: Older zones are automatically removed after your specified lookback period to maintain a clean, relevant chart display.
🎨 Visualization
• Volume Delta Labels: Each zone displays its volume delta with “+” or “-” prefix and K/M suffix for easy interpretation, showing the strength and direction of pressure during the low volume period.
• Persistent Historical Mapping: Zones remain visible for your specified lookback period, creating a cumulative map of potential support and resistance levels forming under low liquidity conditions.
📖 Usage Guidelines

Default: true
Description: Toggles the display of volume delta within each zone. Enabling this provides additional insight into buying vs. selling pressure during low volume periods.
Delta Text Position
Default: Right
Options: Left, Center, Right
Description: Controls the horizontal alignment of the delta text within zones. Adjust based on your chart layout for optimal readability.
✅ Best Use Cases
• Identifying potential support and resistance levels that formed during periods of thin liquidity
• Spotting price inefficiencies where larger players may have moved price with minimal volume
• Finding low-volume consolidation areas that may serve as breakout or reversal zones when revisited
• Locating potential stop-hunting zones where price moved on minimal participation
• Complementing traditional support/resistance analysis with volume context
⚠️ Limitations
• Requires volume data to function; will not work on symbols where the data provider doesn’t supply volume information
• Low volume zones don’t guarantee future support/resistance - they simply highlight potential areas of interest
• Works best on liquid instruments where volume data has meaningful fluctuations
• Historical analysis is limited by the maximum allowed box count (500) in TradingView
• Volume delta in some markets may not perfectly reflect buying vs. selling pressure due to data limitations
💡 What Makes This Unique
• Focus on Low Volume: Unlike some indicators that highlight high volume events particularly like our very own TLZ indicator, this tool specifically identifies potentially significant price zones that formed with minimal participation.
• Delta + Low Volume Integration: Combines volume delta analysis with low volume detection to reveal directional bias during thin liquidity periods.
• Flexible Lookback System: The dynamic timeframe system allows analysis across any timeframe while maintaining consistent zone identification criteria.
• Support/Resistance Zone Generation: Automatically builds a visual map of potential technical levels based on volume behavior rather than just price patterns.
🔬 How It Works
1. Volume Baseline Calculation:
The indicator calculates a moving average of volume over your specified period to establish a baseline for normal market participation. This adaptive baseline accounts for natural volume fluctuations across different market conditions.
2. Low Volume Detection:
Each candle’s volume is compared to the moving average and flagged when it falls below your threshold divisor. The indicator also filters zones by maximum size to ensure only precise price levels are highlighted.
3. Volume Delta Integration:
For each identified low volume candle, the indicator retrieves the volume delta from a lower timeframe. This delta value is formatted with appropriate scaling (K/M) and displayed within the zone.
4. Zone Management:
New zones are created and tracked in a dynamic array, with each zone extending rightward until it expires. The system automatically removes expired zones based on your lookback period to maintain a clean chart.
💡 Note:
Low liquidity zones often represent areas where price moved with minimal participation, which can indicate potential market inefficiencies. These zones frequently become important support/resistance levels when revisited, especially if approached with higher volume. Consider using this indicator alongside traditional technical analysis tools for comprehensive market context. For best results, experiment with different volume threshold settings based on the specific instrument’s typical volume patterns.

Day & Swing Trading EMA Clouds with Adaptive LevelsDay & Swing Trading EMA Clouds with Adaptive Levels is a tool designed for traders who need a flexible indicator that adapts to both short-term (day trading) and long-term (swing trading) strategies. The indicator blends EMA clouds and adaptive support/resistance levels, making it suitable for analyzing trend strength and key price zones.
How It Works:
EMA Clouds for Trend Detection:
This indicator uses three EMAs (Fast, Intermediate, Slow) to create two clouds:
Fast Cloud: The area between the fast and Intermediate EMAs.
Slow Cloud: The area between the Intermediate and slow EMAs.
The cloud colors change based on trend direction:
Positive (uptrend): When the fast EMA is above the Intermediate EMA (turquoise) or the Intermediate EMA is above the slow EMA (teal).
Negative (downtrend): When the fast EMA is below the Intermediate EMA (pink) or the Intermediate EMA is below the slow EMA (magenta).
Traders can use these clouds to visually gauge market momentum and trend reversals.
Adaptive EMA Settings Based on Trading Mode:
The EMA lengths adjust automatically depending on whether you're in Day Trading or Swing Trading mode:
Day Trading Mode uses shorter periods to capture quick price movements:
Fast EMA: 5-period
Mid EMA: 13-period
Slow EMA: 21-period
Swing Trading Mode uses longer periods to capture broader trends:
Fast EMA: 12-period
Mid EMA: 26-period
Slow EMA: 50-period
This dynamic adjustment allows you to switch between trading styles seamlessly, with the EMAs reflecting the most relevant timeframes for each strategy.
Adaptive Support and Resistance Levels:
Depending on the selected trading mode, the indicator dynamically plots key levels:
Day Trading Mode: Previous day’s high, low, and midpoint, as well as 2-day levels.
Swing Trading Mode: Previous month’s high, low, and midpoint, as well as 2-month levels.
These levels act as dynamic support and resistance zones, giving traders critical areas to monitor for potential reversals or breakouts.
Buy & Sell Signals:
Visual buy/sell signals are generated when the fast EMA crosses above or below the slow EMA. These signals can help traders identify potential trend reversals.
Customization:
You can fully adjust the transparency and colors of the clouds to fit your personal preferences and trading style.
Why This Combination?
Combining EMA clouds with adaptive levels provides traders with a complete picture. The clouds highlight the underlying market momentum and trend strength, while the adaptive levels offer potential entry/exit points based on historical price action. This unique mashup allows traders to follow trends and plan trades around key support and resistance zones.

By integrating advanced volatility analysis and user-configurable parameters, the **Uptrick: FVG Market Zones** provides traders with a robust framework for understanding market dynamics and making informed trading decisions.
### Purpose and Functionality
The primary purpose of the **Uptrick: FVG Market Zones** indicator is to detect and highlight Fair Value Gaps, which are areas on a price chart where there is a significant price movement without any trading activity in between. These gaps can provide critical insights into market behavior, as they often indicate areas where the market has not fully accounted for the supply and demand dynamics. Traders use these zones to anticipate potential reversals, breakouts, or consolidations, making this tool highly valuable for both short-term and long-term trading strategies.
### Unique Features and Originality
The **Uptrick: FVG Market Zones** indicator is distinguished by its focus on FVGs and its ability to integrate this concept into a broader market analysis framework.

This precision allows traders to focus on the most relevant market zones, improving their ability to anticipate market movements.
One of the standout features of this indicator is its user-configurable settings, which provide a high degree of customization. This flexibility ensures that traders can tailor the indicator to suit their specific trading style and the particular market they are analyzing. Additionally, the indicator's visualization capabilities are enhanced with customizable colors and gap-filling options, making it easier for traders to interpret and act on the information presented.
### Inputs and Configurations
**Uptrick: FVG Market Zones** comes with several user inputs that allow traders to customize the indicator's behavior and appearance. Each input plays a crucial role in determining how the indicator identifies and visualizes FVGs on the chart. Here’s a detailed breakdown of each input:
1. **FVG Analysis Period (fvgPeriod):**
- **Description:** This input determines the period over which the indicator analyzes the chart for identifying FVGs. By adjusting this value, traders can control how far back in time the indicator looks to detect significant gaps.
- **Default Value:** 25
- **Purpose:** A shorter period may focus on more recent market activity, making the indicator more sensitive to recent price movements. In contrast, a longer period allows the indicator to identify gaps that have remained unfilled for an extended time, potentially acting as stronger support or resistance levels.
2. **Analysis Mode (mode):**
- **Description:** The Analysis Mode input allows traders to choose between different methods of analyzing the chart for FVGs.
- **Options:** "Recent Gaps" and "Extended View"
- **Default Option:** "Recent Gaps"
- **Purpose:**
- **Recent Gaps:** Focuses on the latest significant gaps, providing traders with up-to-date information on the most relevant market zones.
- **Extended View:** Considers a broader range of gap patterns, which can be useful in markets where historical gaps may still influence current price action.
3. **Volatility Sensitivity (volatilityFactor):**
- **Description:** This input adjusts the sensitivity of the indicator to market volatility. It is used in calculating the threshold for identifying FVGs.
- **Default Value:** 0.3
- **Step Size:** 0.1
- **Purpose:** A higher sensitivity will cause the indicator to detect smaller gaps, which might be more frequent but less significant. Lower sensitivity focuses on larger, more impactful gaps, which are less frequent but potentially more powerful in predicting market behavior.
4. **Highlight Market Gaps (showGaps):**
- **Description:** A boolean input that determines whether the identified FVGs should be highlighted on the chart.
- **Default Value:** True
- **Purpose:** This input allows traders to toggle the visualization of FVGs. When enabled, the indicator highlights gaps using colored boxes, making them visually prominent on the chart.
5. **Bullish Highlight Color (bullColor):**
- **Description:** Sets the color used to highlight bullish FVGs (gaps that may indicate support).
- **Default Value:** #00FF7F (a shade of green)
- **Purpose:** The color choice is crucial for quickly distinguishing bullish zones from bearish ones. Green is typically associated with upward price movement, making it intuitive for traders to identify potential support areas.
6. **Bearish Highlight Color (bearColor):**
- **Description:** Sets the color used to highlight bearish FVGs (gaps that may indicate resistance).
- **Default Value:** #FF4500 (a shade of red)
- **Purpose:** Red is commonly associated with downward price movement, making it easy for traders to identify potential resistance areas. This color coding helps in quickly assessing the chart.
7. **Fill Gap Areas (fillGaps):**
- **Description:** A boolean input that determines whether the FVGs should be filled with a color on the chart.
- **Default Value:** True
- **Purpose:** Filling the gap areas provides a more solid visual cue for traders. It enhances the visibility of the gaps, making it easier to spot these zones during fast-paced trading sessions.
8. **Hidden Color (hidden):**
- **Description:** A color input that is used when certain elements should be hidden from the chart.
- **Default Value:** color.rgb(0,0,0,100) (a semi-transparent black)
- **Purpose:** This input is useful for controlling the visibility of certain plots or elements on the chart, ensuring that the indicator remains clean and uncluttered.
### Market Gap Detection
The core functionality of the **Uptrick: FVG Market Zones** indicator lies in its ability to detect Fair Value Gaps. These gaps occur when the price makes a significant jump from one level to another without any trading activity in between. The indicator uses a combination of price action analysis and volatility thresholds to identify these gaps.
- **Volatility Measurement:** The indicator begins by measuring market volatility using the Average True Range (ATR). This volatility measurement is then adjusted by the user-defined sensitivity factor, which determines the threshold for identifying significant gaps.
- **Gap Identification:** The indicator checks for instances where the current low is higher than the high two bars ago (bullish gap) or where the current high is lower than the low two bars ago (bearish gap). These conditions signify a potential FVG.
- **Gap Storage and Management:** Once a gap is identified, it is stored in an array. The indicator also manages the size of these arrays based on the selected analysis mode, ensuring that only the most relevant gaps are considered in the analysis.
### Visualization
Visualization is a key component of the **Uptrick: FVG Market Zones** indicator. By providing clear and customizable visual cues, the indicator ensures that traders can quickly and easily interpret the information it provides.
- **Gap Highlighting:** When enabled, the indicator highlights the identified FVGs on the chart using colored boxes. Bullish gaps are highlighted in green, while bearish gaps are highlighted in red. This color coding helps traders instantly recognize potential support and resistance zones.
- **Gap Filling:** The indicator can also fill the identified gaps with a semi-transparent color. This option enhances the visibility of the gaps, making them more prominent on the chart. Filled gaps are particularly useful for traders who want to keep track of these zones over multiple trading sessions.
- **Gap Averages:** The indicator calculates the average level of the identified gaps and plots these averages as lines on the chart. These lines represent the general area of support or resistance based on the detected gaps, providing traders with a reference point for setting their stop losses or profit targets.
- **Text Labels:** The indicator also labels each FVG with the text "FVG" inside the highlighted area. This feature ensures that traders can easily identify these zones even in charts with dense price action.
### Practical Applications
The **Uptrick: FVG Market Zones** indicator is versatile and can be applied to a wide range of trading strategies across different markets and timeframes. Here are a few examples of how this indicator can be used in practice:

- Traders can use the identified FVGs as dynamic support and resistance levels. By placing their trades based on these levels, they can take advantage of potential reversals or continuations at key market zones.
2. **Gap Filling Strategy:**
- Some traders focus on the concept of gap filling, where the market eventually returns to "fill" the gap created by rapid price movements. The **Uptrick: FVG Market Zones** indicator can
help identify such gaps and anticipate when the market might return to these levels.
3. **Breakout Trading:**
- The indicator can be used to identify breakouts from significant gaps. When the price moves beyond the identified FVGs, it may signal a strong trend continuation, providing an opportunity for breakout traders.
4. **Reversal Trading:**
- By monitoring the signals generated by the indicator, traders can identify potential market reversals. A sell signal after a prolonged uptrend or a buy signal after a downtrend may indicate a reversal, allowing traders to position themselves accordingly.
5. **Risk Management:**
- The average levels of the FVGs can be used to set stop-loss and take-profit levels. By aligning these levels with the FVG zones, traders can improve their risk management practices and enhance their trading discipline.
