Correlation HeatMap [TradingFinder] Sessions Data Science Stats🔵 Introduction
n financial markets, correlation describes the statistical relationship between the price movements of two assets and how they interact over time. It plays a key role in both trading and investing by helping analyze asset behavior, manage portfolio risk, and understand intermarket dynamics. The Correlation Heatmap is a visual tool that shows how the correlation between multiple assets and a central reference asset (the Main Symbol) changes over time.
It supports four market types forex, stocks, crypto, and a custom mode making it adaptable to different trading environments. The heatmap uses a color-coded grid where warmer tones represent stronger negative correlations and cooler tones indicate stronger positive ones. This intuitive color system allows traders to quickly identify when assets move together or diverge, offering real-time insights that go beyond traditional correlation tables.
🟣 How to Interpret the Heatmap Visually ?
Each cell represents the correlation between the main symbol and one compared asset at a specific time.
Warm colors (e.g. red, orange) suggest strong negative correlation as one asset rises, the other tends to fall.
Cool colors (e.g. blue, green) suggest strong positive correlation both assets tend to move in the same direction.
Lighter shades indicate weaker correlations, while darker shades indicate stronger correlations.
The heatmap updates over time, allowing users to detect changes in correlation during market events or trading sessions.
One of the standout features of this indicator is its ability to overlay global market sessions such as Tokyo, London, New York, or major equity opens directly onto the heatmap timeline. This alignment lets traders observe how correlation structures respond to real-world session changes. For example, they can spot when assets shift from being inversely correlated to moving together as a new session opens, potentially signaling new momentum or macro flow. The customizable symbol setup (including up to 20 compared assets) makes it ideal not only for forex and crypto traders but also for multi-asset and sector-based stock analysis.
🟣 Use Cases and Advantages
Analyze sector rotation in equities by tracking correlation to major indices like SPX or DJI.
Monitor altcoin behavior relative to Bitcoin to find early entry opportunities in crypto markets.
Detect changes in currency alignment with DXY across trading sessions in forex.
Identify correlation breakdowns during market volatility, signaling possible new trends.
Use correlation shifts as confirmation for trade setups or to hedge multi-asset exposure
🔵 How to Use
Correlation is one of the core concepts in financial analysis and allows traders to understand how assets behave in relation to one another. The Correlation Heatmap extends this idea by going beyond a simple number or static matrix. Instead, it presents a dynamic visual map of how correlations shift over time.
In this indicator, a Main Symbol is selected as the reference point for analysis. In standard modes such as forex, stocks, or crypto, the symbol currently shown on the main chart is automatically used as the main symbol. This allows users to begin correlation analysis right away without adjusting any settings.
The horizontal axis of the heatmap shows time, while the vertical axis lists the selected assets. Each cell on the heatmap shows the correlation between that asset and the main symbol at a given moment.
This approach is especially useful for intermarket analysis. In forex, for example, tracking how currency pairs like OANDA:EURUSD EURUSD, FX:GBPUSD GBPUSD, and PEPPERSTONE:AUDUSD AUDUSD correlate with TVC:DXY DXY can give insight into broader capital flow.
If these pairs start showing increasing positive correlation with DXY say, shifting from blue to light green it could signal the start of a new phase or reversal. Conversely, if negative correlation fades gradually, it may suggest weakening relationships and more independent or volatile movement.
In the crypto market, watching how altcoins correlate with Bitcoin can help identify ideal entry points in secondary assets. In the stock market, analyzing how companies within the same sector move in relation to a major index like SP:SPX SPX or DJ:DJI DJI is also a highly effective technique for both technical and fundamental analysts.
This indicator not only visualizes correlation but also displays major market sessions. When enabled, this feature helps traders observe how correlation behavior changes at the start of each session, whether it's Tokyo, London, New York, or the opening of stock exchanges. Many key shifts, breakouts, or reversals tend to happen around these times, and the heatmap makes them easy to spot.
Another important feature is the market selection mode. Users can switch between forex, crypto, stocks, or custom markets and see correlation behavior specific to each one. In custom mode, users can manually select any combination of symbols for more advanced or personalized analysis. This makes the heatmap valuable not only for forex traders but also for stock traders, crypto analysts, and multi-asset strategists.
Finally, the heatmap's color-coded design helps users make sense of the data quickly. Warm colors such as red and orange reflect stronger negative correlations, while cool colors like blue and green represent stronger positive relationships. This simplicity and clarity make the tool accessible to both beginners and experienced traders.
🔵 Settings
Correlation Period: Allows you to set how many historical bars are used for calculating correlation. A higher number means a smoother, slower-moving heatmap, while a lower number makes it more responsive to recent changes.
Select Market: Lets you choose between Forex, Stock, Crypto, or Custom. In the first three options, the chart’s active symbol is automatically used as the Main Symbol. In Custom mode, you can manually define the Main Symbol and up to 20 Compared Symbols.
Show Open Session: Enables the display of major trading sessions such as Tokyo, London, New York, or equity market opening hours directly on the timeline. This helps you connect correlation shifts with real-world market activity.
Market Mode: Lets you select whether the displayed sessions relate to the forex or stock market.
🔵 Conclusion
The Correlation Heatmap is a robust and flexible tool for analyzing the relationship between assets across different markets. By tracking how correlations change in real time, traders can better identify alignment or divergence between symbols and gain valuable insights into market structure.
Support for multiple asset classes, session overlays, and intuitive visual cues make this one of the most effective tools for intermarket analysis.
Whether you’re looking to manage portfolio risk, validate entry points, or simply understand capital flow across markets, this heatmap provides a clear and actionable perspective that you can rely on.

CQ_[TACHIMETER]The Tachimeter Indicator: A Fun Financial Gauge
Visualizing Market Momentum in Real Time
Introduction
The Tachimeter is a playful and innovative indicator designed for those who enjoy observing the financial markets with a touch of excitement. Much like the tachometer in a car measures engine revolutions per minute, the Tachimeter measures the "revolutions" of money in the market — showing just how fast funds are moving in or out, every twenty seconds.
What Does the Tachimeter Show?
At its core, the Tachimeter displays how much money (in U.S. dollars) is shifting direction — either up or down — from the current price within a 20-second window. The indicator operates on a scale that starts at $0 (no significant movement) and extends to $1200, representing the maximum flow observed in each 20-second period.
• Scale: $0 to $1200 every 20 seconds
• Direction: Indicates if money is moving upwards (buying) or downwards (selling)
• Purpose: For entertainment and observation, not for actual trading decisions
Visual Design and Interpretation
The Tachimeter features a gauge reminiscent of a car’s tachometer. The gauge moves to show the current intensity of money flowing into or out of the market right now, providing an immediate sense of how "fast" buyers or sellers are acting.
• Gauge Indicator: The amount of squares shows the speed of ongoing transactions, just like a rev counter in a vehicle.
• Color-Coded Title: The title of the indicator switches colors based on the market’s relationship to the daily opening price:
• Red: When the current price is lower than the daily opening price, indicating downward momentum.
• Green: When the current price is higher than the daily opening price, signaling buying momentum.
How to Use the Tachimeter
This indicator is intended purely for fun — it gives you a rapid, visual sense of market activity, letting you "feel" the excitement of fluctuating prices. If you enjoy watching the markets move, the Tachimeter adds a dynamic, visceral element to your experience.
• Watch the needle twitch higher as heavy buying or selling takes place.
• Notice title color changes as the market sentiment shifts from bullish (green) to bearish (red), or vice versa.
• Use it as a conversation starter or to enhance your enjoyment of fast-paced trading sessions.
Final Thoughts
Like your car’s tachometer helps you sense when to shift gears, the Tachimeter lets you sense when the market is "revving up." It’s not a tool for serious decision-making, but it transforms raw financial data into an engaging, interactive visual — perfect for those who appreciate both finance and a bit of fun.
Enjoy watching the market’s RPMs!
CRYPTO CME GAPS- Can be used in any crypto symbol of any exchange, (not necessarily the CME exchange)
- Displays the CME gaps with the colors green or red depending on the sentiment of the gap
- Extends the gaps displayed until they are filled.
- In the end of the code there are the boolean values 'filled_bull' and 'filled_bear' that can be used to create a strategy script.
Buy/Sell Demand Pressure SMAThis indicator shows when competing buying and selling pressure has changed.
When bullish buying offsets bearish transaction volume, the indicator turns green. When bearish selling pressure offsets bullish buying volume the indicator is red.
Can be used as a normal SMA or to confirm buy/sell signals of other indicators.
Works best at the start of trades...and not exits but if set properly, it is a good indicator of when a trend has reversed.

Canonical Momenta Indicator [T1][T69]📌 Overview
The Canonical Momenta Indicator models trend pressure using a Lagrangian-based momentum engine combined with reflexivity theory to detect bursts in price movement influenced by herd behavior and volume acceleration.
🧠 Features
Lagrangian-based kinetic model combining velocity and acceleration
Reflexivity burst detection with directional scoring
Adaptive momentum-weighted output (adaptiveCMI)
Buy 🐋 / Sell 🐻 labels when reflexivity confirms direction
Fully parameterized for customization
⚙️ How to Use
This indicator helps traders:
Detect reflexive bursts in market activity driven by sharp price movement + volume spikes
Capture herd-driven directional moves early.
Gauge market pressure using a kinetic-potential energy model.
Suggested signals:
🐋 Reflexive Up: Strong bullish momentum spike confirmed by volume and positive lagrangian pressure
🐻 Reflexive Down: Strong bearish dump confirmed by volume and negative lagrangian burst
🔧 Configuration
MA Lookback Length - Smoothing for baseline price & energy calculation
Reflexivity Momentum Threshold - Price momentum trigger for burst detection
Reflexivity Lookback - Period over which bursts are counted
Reflexivity Window - Minimum burst sum to trigger signal label
Volume Spike Threshold - % above average volume to qualify as burst
📊 Behavior Description
The indicator computes a Lagrangian energy:
Kinetic Energy = (velocity² + 0.5 * acceleration²)
Potential Energy = deviation from moving average (distance²)
Lagrangian = Potential − Kinetic (higher = overextension)
Then, reflexive bursts are triggered when:
Price is rising or falling over short window (burstMvmnt)
Volume is above average by a user-defined multiple
Each bar gets a burst score:
+1 for up-burst
−1 for down-burst
0 otherwise
⚠️ Risk Profile Based on Lookback Settings
Risk Level | Description | Recommended Lookback
🟥 High | Extremely sensitive to bursts, prone to false signals | 7–10
🟨 Moderate | Balanced reflexivity with trend confirmation | 11–20
🟩 Low | Filters out most noise, slower to react | 21+
🧪 Advanced Tips
Combine with moving average slope for trend filtering
Use divergence between adaptiveCMI and price to detect exhaustion
Works well in crypto, commodities, and volatile assets
⚠️ Limitations
Sensitive to high volatility noise if volMult is too low
Designed for higher timeframes (1H, 4H, Daily) for reliability
Doesn’t confirm direction in sideways markets — pair with other filters

Open Interest Screener (Fixed Zones)📌 Purpose
This indicator scans Open Interest (OI) changes across selected exchanges and highlights significant spikes or drops directly on the chart using dynamic shaded zones.
It is designed to help traders detect unusual market positioning changes that may precede volatility events.
🧠 How It Works
1. Data Sources
Supports multiple exchanges: BitMEX USD, BitMEX USDT, Kraken USD (toggle on/off in settings).
Automatically adapts symbol prefix based on the chart’s base asset.
2. Spike / Drop Detection
OI % Change is calculated over a configurable lookback (Bars to look back).
Spike Up: OI increases by more than Threshold %.
Spike Down: OI decreases by more than Threshold %.
3. Dynamic Zones
When a spike occurs, a green zone (increase) or red zone (decrease) is drawn on the chart.
Zone height is dynamic, based on price high/low ± 5%, preventing chart distortion.
Minimum spacing (Zone Spacing) prevents clustering.
📈 How to Use
Green Zones: Large OI increase can signal fresh positioning (possible breakout setups).
Red Zones: Large OI decrease can signal liquidation events or position unwinds.
Combine with price action, funding rates, or volatility measures for higher confidence.
Recommended Timeframes: Works best on 15m, 1h, 4h.
Markets: Crypto derivatives (OI data available).

Binance Spot vs Perpetual Price index by BIGTAKER📌 Overview
This indicator calculates the premium (%) between Binance Perpetual Futures and Spot prices in real time and visualizes it as a column-style chart.
It automatically detects numeric prefixes in futures symbols—such as `1000PEPE`, `1MFLUX`, etc.—and applies the appropriate scaling factor to ensure accurate 1:1 price comparisons with corresponding spot pairs, without requiring manual configuration.
Rather than simply showing raw price differences, this tool highlights potential imbalances in supply and demand, helping to identify phases of market overheating or panic selling.
🔧 Component Breakdown
1. ✅ Auto Symbol Mapping & Prefix Scaling
Automatically identifies and processes common numeric prefixes (`1000`, `1M`, etc.) used in Binance perpetual futures symbols.
Example:
`1000PEPEUSDT.P` → Spot symbol: `PEPEUSDT`, Scaling factor: `1000`
This ensures precise alignment between futures and spot prices by adjusting the scale appropriately.
2. 📈 Premium Calculation Logic
Formula:
(Scaled Futures Price − Spot Price) / Spot Price × 100
Interpretation:
* Positive (+) → Futures are priced higher than spot: indicates possible long-side euphoria
* Negative (−) → Futures are priced lower than spot: indicates possible panic selling or oversold conditions
* Zero → Equilibrium between futures and spot pricing
3. 🎨 Visualization Style
* Rendered as column plots (bar chart) on each candle
* Color-coded based on premium polarity:
* 🟩 Positive premium: Light green (`#52ff7d`)
* 🟥 Negative premium: Light red (`#f56464`)
* ⬜ Neutral / NA: Gray
* A dashed horizontal line at 0% is included to indicate the neutral zone for quick visual reference
💡 Strategic Use Cases
| Market Behavior | Strategy / Interpretation |
| ----------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| 📈 Premium surging | Strong futures demand → Overheated longs (short setup) |
| 📉 Premium dropping | Aggressive selling in futures → Oversold signal (long setup) |
| 🔄 Near-zero premium | Balanced market → Wait and observe or reassess |
| 🧩 Combined with funding rate or OI delta | Enables multi-factor confirmation for short-term or mid-term signals |
🧠 Technical Advantages
* Fully automated scaling for prefixes like `1000`, `1M`, etc.
* Built-in error handling for inactive or missing symbols (`ignore_invalid_symbol=true`)
* Broad compatibility with Binance USDT Spot & Perpetual Futures markets
🔍 Target Use Cases & Examples
Compatible symbols:
`1000PEPEUSDT.P`, `DOGEUSDT.P`, `1MFLUXUSDT.P`, `ETHUSDT.P`, and most other Binance USDT-margined perpetual futures
Works seamlessly with:
* Binance Spot Market
* Binance Perpetual Futures Market

FVG 9:31–10:00 AM ETFVG 9:31–10:00 AM ET - Script Description
What This Script Does
This indicator finds **Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)** that form during the first 29 minutes of the U.S. stock market (9:31 AM to 10:00 AM Eastern Time). A Fair Value Gap is a price imbalance where there's a gap between candles that often becomes an important support or resistance level.
Key Features:
- **Time Window**: Only looks for FVGs between 9:31-10:00 AM ET (most important opening period)
- **One Per Day**: Finds only the first FVG that forms in this time window each day
- **Visual Display**: Draws a purple box around the gap with a clear "FVG" label
- **Price Tracking**: Monitors when price comes back to test the gap level
- **Alert System**: Sends notifications when price returns to the FVG zone
How FVGs Are Detected:
- **Bullish FVG**: When there's a gap up (low of middle candle is above high of 3rd candle back)
- **Bearish FVG**: When there's a gap down (high of middle candle is below low of 3rd candle back)
The 9:31-10:00 AM window is chosen because this is when institutions and algorithms create their biggest price moves right after market open, making these gaps very reliable.
Customization Options
User Settings
Extend FVG Box (Bars)
- **What it does**: Makes the purple box longer to the right
- **Default**: 0 (box ends right after the gap forms)
- **Options**: Any number from 0 to 100+
- **When to use**:
- Keep at 0 for clean historical view
- Set to 10-20 to track the gap during the current session
- Set higher for longer reference
Code Settings (Can Be Changed)
Time Window
- **Start**: 9:31 AM Eastern Time
- **End**: 10:00 AM Eastern Time
- **Can modify**: Change the hour/minute numbers in the code
Visual Style
- **Color**: Purple with see-through background
- **Label**: Shows "FVG" text in white
- **Can modify**: Change colors and transparency in the code
How to Use:
Setup
Chart Settings
1. Use 1-minute, 5-minute, or 15-minute charts (works best on these timeframes)
2. Apply to liquid markets like ES, NQ, major stocks, or forex pairs
3. Set the "Extend FVG Box" to your preference (start with 0 or 10)
What You'll See
- A purple box appears when an FVG forms during 9:31-10:00 AM
- Box shows the exact price levels of the gap
- "FVG" label appears on the box
- Only one FVG per day will be marked
Trading Strategies
Basic FVG Trading
1. **Wait for Formation**: Let the purple box appear during 9:31-10:00 AM
2. **Watch Price Movement**: See if price moves away from the gap
3. **Enter on Retest**: When price comes back to the purple box area, consider entering
4. **Trade Direction**:
- Bullish FVG = look for long opportunities when price retests
- Bearish FVG = look for short opportunities when price retests
Entry Methods
- **Bounce Play**: Enter when price touches the FVG box and bounces away
- **Break Play**: Enter if price strongly breaks through the FVG box
- **Rejection Play**: Enter opposite direction if price gets rejected at the FVG
Risk Management
Stop Losses
- Place stops just outside the FVG box (a few ticks beyond the gap)
- If trading a bounce, stop goes on opposite side of the gap
- If trading a break, stop goes back inside the gap
Position Sizing
- Start small until you understand how FVGs work in your market
- Bigger gaps = smaller position size (more risk)
- Smaller gaps = can use larger position size
Profit Targets
- Take profits at obvious levels like round numbers, previous highs/lows
- Consider taking half profits at 1:1 risk/reward ratio
- Let some position run if the move is strong
Best Practices
When It Works Best
- High-volume stocks and futures (ES, NQ work great)
- Normal market days without major news during the 9:31-10:00 window
- When there's clear institutional activity in the opening period
When to Be Careful
- Low-volume stocks or markets
- Major economic news releases during the time window
- Market holidays when volume is low
- Very choppy or sideways days
Alert Usage
- The script will alert you when price comes back to test the FVG
- Don't trade the alert blindly - always check the current market situation
- Use the alert as a heads-up to start watching the setup more closely
Tips for Success
- The earlier the FVG forms in the 9:31-10:00 window, often the more significant it is
- FVGs that form with high volume are usually more reliable
- Always consider the overall market direction - don't fight the main trend
- Practice on paper first to understand how FVGs behave in your chosen market
🔗 Works Best With:
✅ Liquidity Levels — Smart Swing Lows: Spot key structural lows that can fuel stop hunts and reversals.
✅ ICT Turtle Soup — Liquidity Reversal: Add a classic reversal pattern to your toolkit to catch fakeouts cleanly.
✅ ICT SMC Liquidity Grabs and OBs- Liquidity Grabs, Order Block Zones, and Fibonacci OTE Levels, allowing traders to identify institutional entry models with clean, rule-based visual signals.
This script is most valuable for day traders who want to catch institutional moves right after market open, but it can also help swing traders identify important intraday levels.
✅ ICT Macro Zones (Grey Box Version)- It tracks real-time highs and lows for each Silver Bullet session.
✅ Weekly Opening Gap (cryptonnnite)
Fair Value MSThis indicator introduces rigid rules to familiar concepts to better capture and visualize Market Structure and Areas of Support and Resistance in a way that is both rule-based and reactive to market movements.
Typical "Market Structure" or "Zig-Zag" methods determine swing points based on fixed thresholds (length or percentage). While this does provide rigid structure, the results may be lagging or confusing due to the timing, since it is fixed to static parameters.
I believe the concept of Fair Value Gaps can solve this problem.
As you will notice, there are no length settings in this indicator.
> FVG Market Structure
Fair Value Gaps are a well known concept used to indicate directional intent, forming when price moves aggressively in one direction, leaving behind an imbalance between buyers and sellers. While the term FVG was popularized by ICT, the underlying concept predates them, known historically as imbalances, inefficiencies, or liquidity voids in institutional trading.
Note: For simplicity, in this indicator they'll be called FVGs.
By reading into this, we are able to clearly and rigidly define market structure simply by "looking" at the chart, using objective price events rather than subjective interpretation, or lengths.
By using FVGs to determine structure direction, the length, and speed of identification lies entirely on the market. If an FVG Down occurs immediately after a New Higher High forms, it is reasonable to assume there was a seller at that point, so the script would indicate a New Swing High.
The script is NOT stuck, waiting for a % retrace, or # bars to pass to identify it as such.
Sometimes the market is in a steady trend in a single direction and no FVGs form; therefore, no structure forms. -> Why would we try to impose structure on a clear trend?
Ultimately, the FVG Structure Method uses real reactions from the market to determine Market structure, and is not fixed to specific parameters.
As with other market structure indicators, "Market Structure Breaks" are still identifiable when price moves outside the most recent swing points.
These are helpful to indicate larger direction. In the following section you will see how these help us determine when we should start the search for an "Area of Interest (AOI)".
> Areas of Interest (AOIs)
"Area of Interest (AOI)" is a generalized term, and could refer to many types of zones you might recognize under different names. While the AOIs in this indicator are specialized in their own way, I have chosen to simply use the term "Area of Interest" because it’s more important to understand how they behave and why they exist than to focus on what they’re called.
The goal of an AOI is to point out reasonable areas where buyers or sellers may be staging, as is typical with support and resistance.
In order to reasonably identify these areas, we look for cause and effect relationships. When considering these relationships, it's easier to understand the placement of the points to define each zone.
(Buyer Examples)
Cause: Strong Buyers step in at Swing Low
Effect: Fair Value Gap Forms
Cause: Sustained Buying Pressure
Effect: Market Structure Breaks
In this example, The zone is drawn from the Swing Low, to the Bottom of the FVG closest to the swing point.
In theory, the participation at the swing point was strong and aggressive enough to create the FVG imbalance. Which then found acceptance and continued into a Market Structure Break. So with these AOIs, we are trying to locate the aggressive Buyers or Sellers which were positioned BEFORE the FVG.
These Zones are intended to act as areas to look for reactions from market participants, to judge where price may be going. When revisiting these zones, we look for a reaction or a break, to further provide us information to if the buyers or sellers are still there.
As seen in the screenshot above, The information we gain is not from the creation of these zones, but from the behavior we witness when these zones are revisited.
Technical Note: In this indicator, Market Structure Breaks are only considered when price closes outside the recent swing points. Wicks are not considered as confirmation, therefore are not used to detect structural breaks.
Inside each AOI you can optionally display a readout of the volume which accumulated during the time starting at the swing point and going until the closing bar of the FVG.
Note: We are counting volume until the closing bar of the FVG since the FVG is a 3 bar formation, and aggressive volume is required throughout to create the imbalance.
There are multiple FVGs that typically occur in a single direction, but we do not look to every single one to be indicative of structure, only the first FVG in the opposite direction of the previous direction (which is determined by previous FVGs)
You will probably notice, the AOIs do not form from the closest swing or FVG to the break, this is because we are targeting larger directional changes to draw these AOIs from.
Since they do not always happen perfectly every time, the AOI formation waits for an FVG to occur AND a Market structure break to happen. One without the other will result in no Zone displaying.
> Reflection Lines
While they may seem slightly redundant, Reflection Lines serve as reminders of previous support and resistance pivots. They are drawn at the same Pivots where and AOI is formed, and extend beyond the mitigation of the AOI.
These lines are often points of price to look for "Support Flips", a re-test pattern where price trades through previous support (or resistance) then returns to it and rejects, continuing into a larger move or trend.
Their namesake is based on the behavior of price, "reflecting" at these levels.
The Reflection lines are simple and change color based on price's location.
If price is above, we would typically look to a reflection line in with support in mind.
As a basic filter, these lines use an average price to determine their color, this way they will not change their color as frequently in choppy situations.
> Session Start/End Lines
For analysis purposes and trade review, it is helpful to analyze with context.
For that reason, I have implemented start and end session lines into the indicator, these are helpful when reviewing historical charts to not provide additional context.
By default, they are set to the NYSE Session, but can be changed to fit any needs.
These lines are not advanced, and simply draw a line as the chart passes the start and end of the sessions. It's very likely that you may need to adjust the session for your specific needs.
Note: The Timezone can be adjusted within the code if needed. By Default, the indicator uses "America/New_York" Timezone.
> Conclusion
If you’ve ever felt like your structure tools were confusing or lagging, drawing zones too late, or zones that simply don't make sense, this should feel like a breath of fresh air.
By removing arbitrary length settings and instead using FVGs to define structure and as a basis for AOIs, you're getting a more accurate look at what price is doing and where it's reacting from.
This indicator is rule-based, reactive, and aims to keep things logical without fluff or false confidence.
Enjoy!
