ka66: Bar Range BandsThis tool takes a bar's range, and reflects it above the high and below the low of that bar, drawing upper and lower bands around the bar. Repeated for each bar. There's an option to then multiply that range by some multiple. Use a value greater than 1 to get wider bands, and less than one to get narrower bands.
This tool stems out of my frustration from the use of dynamic bands (like Keltner Channels, or Bollinger Bands), in particular for estimating take profit points.
Dynamic bands work great for entries and stop loss, but their dynamism is less useful for a future event like taking profit, in my experience. We can use a smaller multiple, but then we can often lose out on a bigger chunk of gains unnecessarily.
The inspiration for this came from a friend explaining an ICT/SMC concept around estimating the magnitude of a trend, by calculating the Asian Session Range, and reflecting it above or below on to the New York and London sessions. He described this as standard deviation of the Asian Range, where the range can thus be multiplied by some multiple for a wider or narrower deviation.
This, in turn, also reminded me of the Measured Move concept in Technical Analysis. We then consider that the market is fractal in nature, and this is why patterns persist in most timeframes. Traders exist across the spectrum of timeframes. Thus, a single bar on a timeframe, is made up of multiple bars on a lower timeframe . In other words, when we reflect a bar's range above or below itself, in the event that in a lower timeframe, that bar fit a pattern whose take profit target could be estimated via a Measured Move , then the band's value becomes a more valid estimate of a take profit point .
Yet another way to think about it, by way of the fractal nature above, is that it is essentially a simplified dynamic support and resistance mechanism , even simpler than say the various Pivot calculations (e.g. Classical, Camarilla, etc.).
This tool in general, can also be used by those who manually backtest setups (and certainly can be used in an automated setting too!). It is a research tool in that regard, applicable to various setups.
One of the pitfalls of manual backtesting is that it requires more discipline to really determine an exit point, because it's easy to say "oh, I'll know more or less where to exit when I go live, I just want to see that the entry tends to work". From experience, this is a bad idea, because our mind subconsciously knows that we haven't got a trained reflex on where to exit. The setup may be decent, but without an exit point, we will never have truly embraced and internalised trading it. Again, I speak from experience!
Thus, to use this to research take profit/exit points:
Have a setup in mind, with all the entry rules.
Plot your setup's indicators, mark your signals.
Use this indicator to get an idea of where to exit after taking an entry based on your signal.

Uptrick: Adaptive Cloud Oscillator (ACO)### **Uptrick: Adaptive Cloud Oscillator (ACO)**
---
### Introduction
The **Uptrick: Adaptive Cloud Oscillator (ACO)** is an advanced technical analysis tool designed to empower traders with precise trend detection and visual clarity in dynamic market conditions. By seamlessly integrating adaptive trend analysis, volatility filtering, and cloud-based support and resistance levels, the ACO provides traders with the actionable insights needed to navigate complex markets with confidence.
This indicator is highly customizable, allowing traders to tailor its functionality to their specific trading style and preferences. Whether you're a trend follower, swing trader, or looking to identify key support and resistance zones, the **Uptrick: ACO** is an indispensable tool that can adapt to a variety of market conditions.
### Indicator Purpose and Functionality
#### 1. **Adaptive Trend Detection**
At the heart of the **Uptrick: ACO** lies its adaptive trend detection algorithm. Unlike traditional moving averages that may lag in volatile markets or react too slowly to rapid changes, this adaptive method uses a smoothing technique that dynamically adjusts based on market conditions. By doing so, it provides a more responsive trend line that captures meaningful price movements while filtering out minor fluctuations.
- **How It Works:** The trend line is calculated using an adaptive smoothing factor, making it responsive to recent price actions while maintaining a level of stability that prevents whipsaw signals. This ensures that traders are always in tune with the prevailing market trend, whether bullish, bearish, or neutral.
#### 2. **Dynamic Cloud Support and Resistance**
The **Uptrick: ACO** features a dynamic "cloud" that serves as a key element in its analysis. This cloud is constructed using a moving average combined with the Average True Range (ATR), which adjusts based on the market’s volatility. The cloud provides dynamic support and resistance levels, essential for identifying potential reversal zones or confirming trend continuations.
- **Cloud Displacement:** The cloud is displaced forward by a user-defined number of bars, offering a predictive view of where future support and resistance levels may lie. This forward-looking feature helps traders anticipate potential price movements, making the ACO a powerful tool for planning trades ahead of time.
#### 3. **Versatile Visualization Options**
The **Uptrick: ACO** is designed with flexibility in mind, allowing users to choose between two distinct display modes:
- **Buy/Sell Signals:** In this mode, the indicator generates clear buy and sell signals based on crossovers of the trend line and the cloud boundaries. These signals are visualized directly on the chart with up and down labels, making it easy for traders to identify potential entry and exit points.
- **Cloud Fill Only:** For traders who prefer a cleaner chart, this mode removes the buy/sell signals and instead focuses on coloring the area between the upper and lower cloud boundaries. The color of the cloud fill changes based on the trend direction, providing a visual representation of the market's momentum.
- **Optional EMA Line:** An Exponential Moving Average (EMA) line can be optionally displayed on the chart. The EMA serves as an additional trend filter, helping traders further refine their entries and exits. The length, color, and thickness of the EMA are fully customizable to fit individual trading strategies.
### Practical Applications
#### 1. **Trend Following and Reversals**
The **Uptrick: ACO** excels in identifying and following trends. By analyzing the relationship between the trend line and the cloud, traders can determine the strength and direction of the current market trend. The cloud’s dynamic nature means it can adapt to both trending and ranging markets, providing consistent insights regardless of market conditions.
- **Example:** If the trend line crosses above the upper cloud boundary, it signals a potential buy opportunity. Conversely, a cross below the lower cloud boundary suggests a sell opportunity. Traders can use these signals to enter trades aligned with the prevailing trend.
#### 2. **Support and Resistance Identification**
The forward-displaced cloud acts as a predictive support and resistance zone. Traders can use these zones to set stop-loss levels, determine take-profit targets, or identify potential reversal points.
- **Example:** When the price approaches the upper cloud boundary from below, the boundary may act as resistance, indicating a potential reversal or pullback. If the price breaks through this level, it may signal a continuation of the bullish trend.
#### 3. **Volatility-Based Analysis**
By incorporating ATR into its calculations, the **Uptrick: ACO** provides a built-in mechanism to adapt to varying levels of market volatility. This makes it particularly useful in markets prone to sudden spikes in volatility, such as during major economic announcements or geopolitical events.
- **Example:** In a high-volatility environment, the cloud widens, allowing for greater price fluctuations within the trend. Traders can use this information to adjust their risk management strategies, such as widening stop-loss levels during volatile periods to avoid being stopped out prematurely.
### Customization and Flexibility
The **Uptrick: ACO** is designed to be highly customizable, ensuring it can meet the needs of traders with different strategies and preferences. Key customization options include:
- **Cloud and Trend Settings:** Traders can adjust the length of the cloud, the smoothing factor for the trend line, and the displacement of the cloud to optimize the indicator for their specific market and timeframe.
- **Display Modes:** With a simple dropdown selection, traders can choose whether to display buy/sell signals or focus solely on the cloud fill, providing flexibility in how the indicator is visualized.
- **Color and Style Customization:** The colors for bullish and bearish trends, cloud fill, buy/sell signals, and the EMA line can all be customized, allowing traders to integrate the **Uptrick: ACO** seamlessly into their existing chart setups.

Rising & Falling Window Signals [LuxAlgo]The Rising & Falling Window Signals indicator identifies Rising & Falling Window formations on the chart and manages them for use as support and resistance zones. The Rising and Falling Window methods used in this indicator are based on Steve Nison's techniques, emphasizing the importance of these areas to better identify continuation momentum and likely reversal points.
Various filtering settings are included to identify zones of a specific width, as well as hide shorter zones from displaying on their chart, helping the users focus on the most significant zones.
🔶 USAGE
A Window (Rising or Falling) forms when the candle wicks from 2 consecutive candlesticks do not overlap, causing a gap. This gap is considered as a strong market sentiment of upward or downward movement, allowing traders to anticipate the likely direction of future prices.
The formation of a Rising Window is a typical indication that a bullish trend is likely to follow.
The formation of a Falling Window is a typical indication that a bearish trend is likely to follow.
After forming a window, we can interpret the zone as a likely area of support and resistance for the price to return to and react from.
Generally, the extremities of the window are used as support and resistance levels, with opposite extremities being regarded as the strongest point of support/resistance. However, when the window is exceptionally wide, the mid-point is looked upon as the strongest point of support/resistance. Once the price closes beyond the window, the window is no longer seen as supportive.
🔶 DETAILS
The script uses a fairly simple concept and implements it with familiar size and mitigation checks. From the settings of this script, the zones can be controlled based on user preferences.
🔹 Horizontal Zone Control
Horizontal Control Settings manipulate the extension and zone display for each zone; however, these settings do not affect the identification of each zone.
Maximum Live Zone Length: This determines the maximum duration of a zone. Zones will stop extending once the zone is mitigated, or if it has reached the maximum zone length determined by this setting.
Minimum Inactive Zone Length: This will hide mitigated (inactive) zones that are shorter than this setting value, this is used to free up the chart from irrelevant zones.
Extend Historical Zones on Touch: If a zone is unmitigated, but has stopped extending, it is considered a "historical" zone. If the price returns to a historical zone, this setting will cause it to extend to the current bar.
🔹 Vertical Zone Control
Vertical Control Settings filter out windows that are wider or thinner than the desired width range. Each of these settings is specified as "ATR Multipliers".
Minimum Width: Filters out any zones whose width is lower than ATR * Minimum Width.
Maximum Width: Filters out any zones whose width is higher than ATR * Maximum Width.
🔹 Signal Types
Signals are used to identify interactions with the Rising & Falling Window zones. The script has 3 different identification types to choose from:
Note: These are all bullish (rising window) examples of each signal.
Regular: The "regular" signal will fire when the price crosses above the upper extremity of an unmitigated zone.
Engulfing: The "engulfing" signal will fire when a bullish engulfing candlestick pattern occurs while one or more of the candle's wicks are touching the zone.
Wick: The "wick" signal will fire when the low of the candle is below the top of a zone, but the candle then closes above the top of the zone.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Horizontal Zone Control
Maximum Live Zone Length: Maximum duration of newly formed zones.
Minimum Inactive Zone Length: Hides Zones whose length is lower than this setting.
Extend Historical Zones on Touch: Extend historical unmitigated zones when the price reaches the zone to the current bar.
🔹 Vertical Zone Control
Minimum Width: ATR multiplier used to filter out any zones whose width is lower than ATR * Minimum Width.
Maximum Width: ATR multiplier used to filter out any zones whose width is higher than ATR * Maximum Width.
Show Midlines: Determine if the zone midlines are displayed.
🔹 Signals
Show Zone Tests: Determine if signals appearing on zone tests are displayed.
Test Type: Sets the signal method for zone tests.
Signal Size: Sets label size for displayed signals.

Uptrick: Imbalance MA Trailing System
### **Overview**
The "Uptrick: Imbalance MA Trailing System" is a complex trading indicator designed to help traders identify potential bullish and bearish imbalances in the market, coupled with a trailing stop mechanism to manage trades. The indicator uses a combination of moving averages, Average True Range (ATR), and custom logic to detect trading signals and plot various levels on the chart to assist traders in making informed decisions.
### **Key Components and Functionality**
#### 1. **Inputs and Configuration**
- **Imbalance Filter (`imbalanceFilter`)**: This input sets the filter for detecting imbalances based on the difference between two price points. The value is a float and can be adjusted to fine-tune the sensitivity of imbalance detection. The default value is `0.0`, with a step size of `0.1`.
- **Moving Average Settings (`maLength1`, `maLength2`, `maColor1`, `maColor2`)**:
- `maLength1` and `maLength2` define the lengths of the two moving averages used in the indicator. By default, they are set to `50` and `200` periods, respectively.
- `maColor1` and `maColor2` specify the colors of these moving averages on the chart. The first MA is colored blue, and the second is red.
- **Take Profit and Stop Loss Settings (`displayTP`, `tpMultiplier`, `tpColor`, `displaySL`, `slMultiplier`, `slColor`)**:
- `displayTP` and `displaySL` are boolean inputs that control whether the TP and SL areas are displayed on the chart.
- `tpMultiplier` and `slMultiplier` are multipliers used to calculate the TP and SL levels relative to the detected imbalance level using the ATR value.
- `tpColor` and `slColor` define the colors of these areas. The TP area is green (with a transparency of 50), and the SL area is red (with a transparency of 50).
- **Trailing Stop Settings (`trailMultiplier`)**: This setting determines the multiplier used to calculate the trailing stop level based on the ATR value. The default multiplier is `2.5`.
- **Style Settings (`bullishColor`, `bearishColor`)**:
- `bullishColor` and `bearishColor` set the colors for bullish and bearish zones created when an imbalance is detected. The bullish zone is green, and the bearish zone is red.
- **Signal Label Size (`labelSizeOption`)**: The size of the signal labels displayed on the chart can be adjusted. The options include `Tiny`, `Small`, `Normal`, `Large`, and `Huge`. The selected size affects the visual prominence of the labels.
#### 2. **ATR Calculation (`atrValue`)**
- The ATR value is calculated using a period of 14, which is a standard setting for measuring market volatility. This value is used extensively throughout the indicator to calculate TP, SL, and trailing stop levels.
#### 3. **Imbalance Detection and Zone Creation**
- The indicator detects potential imbalances in the market by comparing certain price points, using a custom function (`imbalanceCondition`).
- **Bullish Imbalance Detection (`bullishSignal`)**:
- A bullish imbalance is detected when the low of three bars ago is higher than the high of one bar ago, and the current close is above the low of three bars ago.
- Additional conditions include checking that the current close is above the calculated average of the two moving averages (`ma1` and `ma2`), and that the imbalance exceeds the threshold set by the `imbalanceFilter`.
- **Bearish Imbalance Detection (`bearishSignal`)**:
- A bearish imbalance is detected under conditions where the low of one bar ago is higher than the high of three bars ago, and the current close is below the high of three bars ago.
- Like the bullish signal, the close must also be below the average of the two moving averages, and the imbalance must exceed the `imbalanceFilter` threshold.
- Upon detection of an imbalance (either bullish or bearish), the indicator creates a zone using `box.new` that highlights the price range of the imbalance. The box color corresponds to the bullish or bearish nature of the signal.
- The center of the imbalance range is marked with a dashed line, and a corresponding label (`🔴` for bearish and `🟢` for bullish) is placed on the chart to indicate the detected signal.
#### 4. **Take Profit and Stop Loss Calculation (`calculateTPSL`)**
- When an imbalance is detected, the indicator calculates potential TP and SL levels based on the ATR value and the respective multipliers.
- If the TP or SL areas are enabled, the indicator plots these areas as colored boxes on the chart.
- The function also tracks whether these levels are hit by subsequent price action, updating the status (`reached`) as appropriate.
#### 5. **Trailing Stop Logic (`applyTrailingStop`)**
- The trailing stop feature is a dynamic mechanism that adjusts the stop level as the price moves in the trader's favor.
- The trailing stop is calculated using the ATR value multiplied by the `trailMultiplier`.
- If the trailing stop is triggered (i.e., the price crosses the trailing stop level), the indicator marks the trade as stopped out.
#### 6. **Plotting and Visualization**
- The indicator plots the two moving averages on the chart with the specified colors and line width.
- If a trailing stop is active, it plots the trailing stop level on the chart, updating as the stop moves.
- The bar color changes based on the status of the current signal and whether the trailing stop or TP/SL levels have been hit.
### **Detailed Execution Flow**
1. **Initialization**: The indicator initializes several variables, including lines, boxes, and the current signal state. This setup ensures that the script can dynamically update these elements as new price data comes in.
2. **Moving Average Calculation**: The moving averages (`ma1` and `ma2`) are calculated using simple moving average (SMA) functions, which are foundational for many of the indicator's conditions.
3. **Imbalance Detection**: The script evaluates price action to detect potential bullish or bearish imbalances, applying filters based on the user-defined `imbalanceFilter`.
4. **Zone Creation and Labeling**: Upon detecting an imbalance, the script creates visual zones on the chart using the `box.new` function and labels the zones for easy identification.
5. **Take Profit and Stop Loss Logic**: The TP and SL areas are calculated and plotted if the relevant settings are enabled. The script continuously checks if these levels are reached as new bars form.
6. **Trailing Stop Calculation**: The script dynamically adjusts the trailing stop level based on the price movement and ATR value. The trailing stop helps lock in profits as the trade progresses.
7. **Plotting**: The moving averages, trailing stop levels, and bar colors are plotted on the chart, providing a visual representation of the indicator's signals and trade management levels.
8. **Final Checks and Updates**: The script concludes each bar's processing by updating the status of various elements, such as whether levels have been reached or if the trailing stop has been triggered.
### **Conclusion**
The "Uptrick: Imbalance MA Trailing System" is a highly versatile indicator designed for traders who want to identify market imbalances and manage their trades effectively using a combination of moving averages, ATR-based calculations, and custom logic. The indicator offers a wide range of customization options, allowing traders to adjust the sensitivity of imbalance detection, the size of the signal labels, and the visibility of various trade management levels (TP, SL, and trailing stop).
The combination of these features makes it a powerful tool for both novice and experienced traders, providing clear visual cues and robust trade management capabilities directly on the chart.
False Breakouts [TradingFinder] Fake Breakouts Failure🔵 Introduction
Technical indicators are essential tools for analysts and traders in financial markets, helping them predict price movements and make better trading decisions. One of the key concepts in technical analysis that should be carefully considered is the "False Breakout."
This phenomenon occurs when a price temporarily breaks through a significant support or resistance level but fails to hold and quickly returns to its previous range. Understanding this concept and applying it in trading can reduce risks and increase profitability.
🟣 What is a False Breakout?
A Fake Breakout, as the name suggests, refers to a breakout that appears to occur but fails to sustain, leading the price to quickly revert back to its previous range. This situation often happens when inexperienced or non-professional traders, under psychological pressure and eager to enter the market quickly, initiate trades.
This creates opportunities for professional traders to take advantage of these short-term fluctuations and execute successful trades.
🟣 The Importance of Recognizing False Breakouts
Recognizing False Breakouts is crucial for any trader aiming for success in financial markets. False Breakouts typically occur when the market approaches a critical support or resistance level.
In these situations, many traders are waiting to see if the price will break through this level. However, when the price quickly returns to its previous range, it indicates weakness in the movement and the inability to sustain the breakout.
🟣 How to identify False Breakouts?
To identify Fake Breakouts, it is important to carefully analyze price charts and look for signs of a quick price reversal after breaking a key level.
Here are some chart patterns that may help you identify a False Breakout :
1. Pin Bar Pattern : The Pin Bar is a candlestick pattern that indicates a price reversal. This pattern usually appears near support and resistance levels, showing that the price attempted to break through a key level but failed and reversed.
2. Fakey Pattern : This pattern, which consists of several candlesticks, indicates a False Breakout and a quick price return to the previous range. It usually appears near key levels and can signal a trend reversal.
3. Using Multiple Timeframes : One way to identify False Breakouts is by using charts of different timeframes. Sometimes, a breakout on a one-hour chart may be a False Breakout on a daily chart. Analyzing charts across multiple timeframes can help you accurately identify this phenomenon.
🔵 How to Use
Once you identify a False Breakout, you can use it as a trading signal. For this, it is best to look for trading opportunities in the opposite direction of the False Breakout. In other words, if a False Breakout occurs at a resistance level, you might consider selling opportunities, and if it happens at a support level, you might look for buying opportunities.
Here are some key points for trading based on False Breakouts :
1. Patience and Discipline : Patience and discipline are crucial when trading with False Breakouts. Wait for the False Breakout to clearly form before entering a trade.
2. Use Stop Loss : Setting an appropriate stop loss is vital when trading based on False Breakouts. Typically, the stop loss can be placed near the level where the False Breakout occurred.
3. Seek Confirmations : Before entering a trade, look for additional confirmations. These can include other analyses or technical indicators that show the price is likely to return to its previous level.
🔵 Settings
🟣 Logical settings
Swing period : You can set the swing detection period.
Max Swing Back Method : It is in two modes "All" and "Custom". If it is in "All" mode, it will check all swings, and if it is in "Custom" mode, it will check the swings to the extent you determine.
Max Swing Bac k: You can set the number of swings that will go back for checking.
🟣 Display settings
Displaying or not displaying swings and setting the color of labels and lines.
🟣 Alert Settings
Alert False Breakout : Enables alerts for Breakout.
Message Frequency : Determines the frequency of alerts. Options include 'All' (every function call), 'Once Per Bar' (first call within the bar), and 'Once Per Bar Close' (final script execution of the real-time bar). Default is 'Once per Bar'.
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : Configures the time zone for alert messages. Default is 'UTC'.
🔵Conclusion
False Breakouts, as a key concept in technical analysis, are powerful tools for identifying sudden price changes and using them in trading. Understanding this phenomenon and applying it can help traders perform better in financial markets and avoid potential losses.
To benefit from False Breakouts, traders need to carefully analyze charts and use the appropriate analytical tools. By leveraging this strategy, traders can achieve lower-risk and higher-reward trades.
Range supply and demandHi all!
This is a very simple indicator. It plots the high timeframe (configurable via the "Timeframe" setting) high/low current timeframe bars (that has the same high/low as the higher timeframe) as supply/demand. The higher timeframe bar that's chosen is the one that's next last. As of now one high and one low zone is plotted.
The defaults are based on useful zones when on daily candles.
You can choose to display the higher timeframe within the zone via the "Show" option.
Hope this is clear enough, let me know otherwise.
Best of luck trading!

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

Configurable Level Trading StrategyThe Dynamic Level Reversal Strategy is a trading approach designed to capitalize on price movements between key support and resistance levels. This strategy leverages configurable levels the trader determines, allowing for flexibility and adaptation to different market conditions.
Key Features:
Configurable Levels:
The strategy uses three key levels: Level 1 (Support), Level 2 (Middle), and Level 3 (Resistance). These levels can be adjusted directly within the script settings, making the strategy adaptable to various trading scenarios.
Buy and Sell Signals:
A buy signal is triggered when the price touches Level 1 and shows signs of reversal. The trader enters a position and sets an initial stop-loss just below Level 1.
As the price moves upward, the stop-loss is dynamically adjusted to just below Level 2 and Level 3, locking in profits while managing risk.
A sell signal is generated if the price reverses and crosses below the current stop-loss level, ensuring the trader exits the position with minimized losses.
Iterative Process:
The strategy allows for iterative trades, where the trader re-enters positions at Level 1 or Level 2 if the price revisits these levels, continually adjusting stop-losses and take-profit targets as the price oscillates between the defined levels.
Ideal Use Cases:
Range-Bound Markets: The strategy is particularly effective in markets where the price tends to oscillate between well-defined support and resistance levels.
Volatile Markets: The dynamic adjustment of stop-loss levels helps protect against sudden price reversals, making it suitable for volatile market conditions.
How to Use:
Set the desired levels (Level 1, Level 2, Level 3) based on your market analysis.
The script will automatically generate buy and sell signals, and adjust stop-loss levels as the price moves through the levels.
Monitor the signals and execute trades according to the strategy's guidelines.
Support line based on RSIThis indicator builds a support line using the stock price and RSI.
Inputs:
1. Time window for the RSI:
the time window the RSI is calculated with, usually it's 14 but in here I recommend 30.
2. offset by percentage:
just adding or subtructing some percentage of the result, some stocks need a bit of offset to work
3. stability:
the higher it is the less the RSI effects the graph. for realy high stability the indicator the the stock price will be realy close.
formula: (close*(100-newRSI)/50)*(100+offset)/100
when:
newRSI = (RSI + (50 * stability1))/(stability+1)
recommended usage:
Usually, if the indicator becomes higher than the price, (the price lowers). the stock will go up again to around the last price where they met.
so, for example, if the stock price was 20 and going down. while the indicator was 18 and going up, then they met at 19 and later the indicator became 20 while the stock fell to 18. most chances are that the stock will come back to 19 where they met and at the same time the indicator will also get to 19.
In stocks that are unstable, like NVDA. this indicator can be used to see the trend and avoid the unstability of the stock.

AI-Powered Breakout with Advanced FeaturesDescription
This script is designed to detect breakout moments in financial markets using a combination of traditional breakout detection methods and adaptive moving averages. By leveraging elements of artificial intelligence, the script provides a more dynamic and responsive approach to identifying potential entry and exit points in trading.
Usefulness
This script stands out by integrating a traditional breakout finder with an adaptive moving average component. The adaptive moving average adjusts dynamically based on the differences between fast and slow exponential moving averages (EMAs), offering a more flexible and responsive detection of support and resistance levels. This combination aims to reduce false signals and enhance the reliability of breakout detections, making it a valuable tool for traders seeking to capture market movements more effectively.
Features
1. Breakout Detection: Utilizes pivot highs and lows to identify significant breakout points over a user-defined period. This method helps in capturing the essential support and resistance levels that are critical in breakout trading.
2. AI Machine Learning Component - Adaptive Moving Average: Implements an adaptive moving average using two exponential moving averages (EMAs). adaptiveMA is dynamically adjusted based on the difference between a fast average and a slow average.
3. Buy/Sell Signals: The script generates buy and sell signals when bullish and bearish breakouts occur, respectively. These signals are visually represented on the chart, helping traders to quickly identify potential trading opportunities.
4. Visualization: Draws horizontal lines at identified breakout levels and plots shapes (arrows) on the chart to indicate buy/sell signals. This makes it easy for traders to see where significant breakout points are and where to consider entering or exiting trades.
Underlying Concepts
1. Breakout Finder Logic: The script uses pivot points (highs and lows) to detect breakout levels. It stores these pivot points in arrays and monitors them for persistence, ensuring that the detected breakouts are significant and reliable.
2. Adaptive Moving Average (AMA): The AMA is a key component that enhances the script's responsiveness. By calculating the differences between fast and slow EMAs, the AMA adapts to changing market conditions, providing a more accurate measure of trends and potential reversals.
How to Use
• Adjustable Parameters: The script includes several user-adjustable parameters:
o Lookback Length: Defines the period over which the script calculates the highest high and lowest low for breakout detection.
o Multiplier for Adaptive MA: Adjusts the sensitivity of the adaptive moving average.
o Period for Pivots: Sets the period for detecting pivot highs and lows.

SPX Mapped Gaps [Mxwll]Hello traders 👋
This indicator "SPX Mapped Gaps" detects gaps from the SPX (or the trader's choice of index/asset) and plots them for the asset on your chart!
Features
Selectable comparison symbol
Gaps from the selected symbol (SPX by default) are plotted for the asset on your chart - serving as potential support/resistance levels!
Closest gaps from comparison symbol displayed in upper-right table
Overlapped gaps deleted automatically - less clutter!
How this script works
The "SPX Mapped Gaps" is designed to help traders determine price levels for the asset on their chart where a major index (any asset) gapped up or down.
Of course, a gap that occurs on SPX (4-digit price) is incompatible with the price chart of BTC (5-digit price). To circumvent this, the percentage distance of the gap from SPX is determined, and a gap level is drawn equidistantly (up/down) from the open price of the asset on your chart. With this method, the proportion of the gap is maintained at the price area it occurred for the asset on your chart!
The image above outlines functionality for the indicator!
Key points:
Up gaps are denoted by green boxes
Down gaps are denoted by red boxes
All gaps are listed with their start and end price for the comparison asset (SPX for the example). These labels can be hidden at the user's discretion.
Gaps are expected to act as support/resistance during their lifetime
The image above explains the output of the script, including line style indications!
Solid lines indicate that the leverage used for at your entry price constitutes an active trade. Dotted lines mean the trade has already achieved your profit target for that leverage, or stopped out.
The image above explains the table attached to the indicator!
This table displays the closest gaps to the current asset price. The status (up gap or down gap) from the gap to the current price is also detailed.
Why are gaps on the SPX, or major index, relevant to BTC and other assets?
When a gap on the major indices occurs, it's expected that strong aggregate buying or selling pressure will transpire for BTC and other coins. Due to this, the presence of a gap on a major index might correspond to increased activity on smaller market-cap assets with some degree of positive correlation to the index. Consequently, the price level for the asset at which a gap for the major index occurred may function as support/resistance for future price!
That is all for this - thanks traders!
Three Anchored Moving Averages (VWAP / SMA / EMA)
This indicator allows users to anchor three types of moving averages (Simple Moving Average (SMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), and Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP)) to specific points in time (anchor points)
Key Features:
Select from three Moving Average Types:
Simple Moving Average (SMA): Averages the closing prices over a specified period.
Exponential Moving Average (EMA): Gives more weight to recent prices, making it more responsive to new information.
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP): Averages the price weighted by volume, useful for understanding the average price at which the asset has traded over a period.
Up to Three Anchor Points:
Users can set up to three different anchor points to calculate the moving averages from specific dates and times. This allows for analysis of price action starting from significant points or specific events. For example, you can anchor to the low and high of a move to identify key levels or to points where the price takes off from a previous anchored MA.
Customisable Sentiment Options:
Each anchor point can be associated with a sentiment input (Auto, Bull, Bear, None), which influences if the MAs are displayed as lines or zones/bands:
Auto: Automatically determines the sentiment based on whether anchor points are on pivot highs and lows. If anchored to a pivot high, the system will assume a bearish sentiment and display a red band or zone between the MA OHLC4 and High. Anchoring to a pivot low will display a green band (OHLC4 - Low).
Bull: Forces a bullish sentiment (Green Band - OHLC4 to Low)
Bear: Forces a bearish sentiment (Red Band - OHLC4 to High)
None: Ignores sentiment and displays a single line (OHLC4)
Chart Matching:
The indicator includes an option to display the moving averages only if the chart symbol matches a specified ticker. This feature ensures that the indicator is relevant to the specific asset being analysed.
How to Use the Indicator:
1. Set Anchor Points: When added to your chart, select three anchor points by point and click. If you only wish to anchor to a single point, click on that point three times and disable the other two in settings once the indicator is applied.
2. Select Moving Average Type: Choose between SMA, EMA, or VWAP using the dropdown menu. EMAs are the most responsive.
3. Enable/Disable Anchor Points: Use the checkboxes to enable or disable each anchor point.
4. Select Sentiment Type: Choose between Auto, Bull, Bear, or None.
5. Chart Matching: Optionally, specify a chart symbol to restrict the indicator's display to that particular asset.
6. Interpret the Plots: The indicator plots the high, mid, and low values of the selected moving average type from each anchor point. The fills between these plots help identify potential support and resistance zones. These should be used as points of interest for pullback reversals or potential continuation if the price breaks through.
Practical Applications:
Trend Analysis: Identify the overall trend direction from specific historical points.
Support and Resistance: Determine key dynamic support and resistance levels based on anchored moving averages.
Event-Based Analysis: Anchor the moving averages to significant events (e.g., earnings releases, economic data) to study their impact on price trends.
Multi Timeframe Analysis: Higher Timeframe Anchors can be used to identify longer term trend analysis. Switching to a lower timeframe for execution triggers at these points wont distort the MA levels as they are anchored to a specific point in time
Intraday or Swing Trading: trend analysis using anchor points can be used for any style of trading (Intraday / Swing / Invest). Use anchored levels as points of interest and wait for hints in price action to try and catch the next move.
Futures Settlement [NeoButane]Traders use settlement prices as both support/resistance and as a target for price to trend towards. The intention of this script is to provide possible entry and exit levels for swing and scalp trades by drawing horizontal lines of true settlement prices provided by TradingView.
The settlement price, which is calculated daily, is used to determine the profit/loss of a trader's futures position. Prior to the daily close, price settlement of futures contracts is performed by taking the average of its traded price during a specified period of time.
Usage
The settlement prices, shown as horizontal lines, serve as support or resistance for entry or exit. There are hundreds of ways to combine this with favorite indicators, or it can be used as levels for pure price action traders.
See how settlement price levels can be used in confluence with oscillators.
Configuration
Toggles to show each settlement. Reprint shows prior weeks or months after they've ended. Back-adjusted futures, which affect expired futures price history on continuous futures charts, should only be enabled on non-standard charts to match the user's chart settings.
What this script does
This script plots the daily, weekly, and monthly settlements for futures, including an average for the two most recent weekly or monthly settlements. The weekly settlement uses the last day of the week's daily settlement and the monthly settlement uses the last day of the month's daily settlement. For symbols that do not have settlement prices, which will be almost if not all symbols that are not futures, the settlement price instead becomes price at the last second before the daily/weekly/monthly close. In those cases, this script becomes a tool for automatically plotting daily/weekly/monthly closes.
See below for two different bitcoin charts. The chart on top is a non-futures chart and a futures chart is at the bottom. Note that CME bitcoin futures settle 4 hours (1500 CST) before bitcoin's daily close (UTC).
How this script works
TradingView has a built-in ability to display daily settlements instead of the actual daily close. This can be enabled in chart settings for futures on the daily timeframe and there is an argument for Pine Script to do so as well. Because settlement times are different for multiple products during the day, the script uses the settlement price from daily timeframe, which is guaranteed to be correct because TradingView is wonderful. I accidentally found the undocumented backadjustment and settlement_at_close when I was trying to use ticker.inherit() to create a symbol with its daily close time changed to another symbol's, which I still haven't figured out. TradingView has since added documentation for both of them, but there's still an ambiguous 'etc.' in the description of ticker.inherit() so maybe there's more secret arguments...
The script is able to be used on non-standard charts by using ticker.standard(), but back-adjustment will need to be changed by input to match chart settings.
