Indicator Philosophy and Originality:
This indicator is not merely a collection of separate tools, but an integrated trading framework designed to improve decision-making by ensuring signal confluence. The core philosophy is that high-probability trading signals occur when multiple, distinct analysis methodologies align.
The originality of this script lies in how it systematically combines a leading signal (the Liquidity Breakout) with lagging confirmation tools (the Classic Filters and the Hull MA). A user can see a primary breakout signal and immediately validate its strength against the broader trend defined by the Hull MA and the specific conditions of the classic filters. This synergy, where different components work together to validate a single event, is the primary value and reason for this mashup. It provides a structured, multi-layered confirmation process within a single tool, which is not achievable by adding these indicators separately to the chart.
This indicator is a comprehensive technical analysis tool designed to identify potential trading opportunities and provide supplemental trend analysis. It features a primary signal engine based on pivot trendline breakouts, a sophisticated confirmation layer using classic technical indicators, and two separate modules for discretionary analysis: an ICT-based structure plotter and a highly customizable Hull Moving Average (HMA). This document provides a detailed, transparent explanation of all underlying logic.
1. Core Engine: Pivot-Based Liquidity Trendline Signals
The indicator's foundational signal is generated from a custom method we call "Liquidity Trendlines," which aims to identify potential shifts in momentum.
How It Works:
The script first identifies significant swing points in the price using the ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions.
It then draws a trendline connecting consecutive pivot points.
A "Liquidity Breakout" signal (liquidity_plup for buy, liquidity_pldn for sell) is generated when the price closes decisively across this trendline, forming the basis for a potential trade.
2. The Signal Confirmation Process: Multi-Layered Filtering System
A raw Liquidity Breakout signal is only a starting point. To enhance reliability, the signal must pass through a series of user-enabled filters. A final Buy or Sell signal is only plotted if all active filter conditions are met simultaneously.
General & Smart Trend Filters: Use a combination of EMAs, DMI (ADX), and market structure to define the trend. Signals must align with the trend to be valid.
RSI & MACD Filters: Used for momentum confirmation (e.g., MACD line must be above its signal line for a buy).
ATR (Volatility) Filter: Ensures trades are considered only when market volatility is sufficient.
Support & Resistance (S&R) Filter: Blocks signals forming too close to key S&R zones.
Higher Timeframe (HTF) Filter: Provides confluence by checking that the trend on higher timeframes aligns with the signal.
3. Visual Aid 1: ICT-Based Structure & Premium/Discount Zones
This module is for visual and discretionary analysis only and does not directly influence the automated Buy/Sell signals.
ICT Market Structure: Plots labels for Change of Character (CHoCH), Shift in Market Structure (SMS), and Break of Market Structure (BMS). This is based on a Donchian-channel-like logic that tracks the highest and lowest price over a user-defined period (ict_prd) to identify structural shifts.
ICT Premium & Discount Zones: When enabled, it draws colored zones on the chart corresponding to Premium, Discount, and Equilibrium levels, calculated from the range over the defined ICT period.
4. Visual Aid 2: Hull Moving Average (HMA) Integration
This is another independent tool for trend analysis, offering significant customization. It does not affect the primary Buy/Sell signals but has its own alerts and serves as a powerful visual confirmation layer.
Hull Variations: Users can choose between three types of Hull-style moving averages: HMA (Hull Moving Average), THMA (Triple Hull Moving Average), and EHMA (Exponential Hull Moving Average).
Customization: The length, source, and a length multiplier are fully adjustable. It can also be configured to display the Hull MA from a higher timeframe.
Visuals: The Hull MA can be displayed as a simple line or a colored band. The color can be set to change based on the Hull's slope, providing an at-a-glance view of the trend. This color can also be applied to the chart's candles.
Alerts: Separate alerts can be configured for when the Hull MA crosses over or under its delayed version (ta.crossover(MHULL, SHULL)), signaling a change in its momentum.
5. Risk Management & Additional Features
TP/SL Calculations: Automatically calculates Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) levels for every valid signal based on the Average True Range (ATR).
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Scanner: A dashboard that monitors and displays the final Buy/Sell signal status across multiple timeframes.
Session Filter & Alerts: Allows for restricting trades to specific market sessions and configuring alerts for any valid signal.
By combining breakout detection with a rigorous confirmation process and supplemental analysis tools, this indicator provides a structured and transparent approach to trading.
