Advanced EMA's with True Range SignalsThis indicator combines multiple layers of exponential moving averages (EMAs) with a dynamic True Range Filter (TRF) to help traders identify trends and potential entry signals. Designed with clarity and flexibility in mind, the tool features both fixed and adjustable EMAs alongside a custom-built volatility filter.
**Key Features:**
• **Multi-Timeframe Trend Analysis:**
- **Fixed EMAs:**
- **EMA 200 (White):** Serves as the long-term trend indicator, providing overall market context and acting as a dynamic support/resistance level.
- **EMA 9 (Red):** Captures short-term momentum for rapid entry/exit decisions.
These EMAs are hard-coded (with visibility toggles enabled by default) to ensure consistency in trend analysis.
• **Customizable EMAs:**
- Two adjustable EMAs are included for further personalization—one defaulting to a 21-period and the other to a 50-period. Their visibility toggles are off by default, allowing the user to activate them as needed for fine-tuned signal confirmation.
• **Dynamic True Range Filter (TRF):**
- The TRF adapts to market volatility by smoothing price fluctuations using a dual (fast and slow) period approach. This filter generates a dynamic threshold that helps differentiate genuine trend changes from price noise.
- In this version, the TRF is plotted in blue by default, providing a clear visual reference for the trend filter.
• **Signal Generation:**
- **Long Entry:** Occurs when the price is above the TRF combined with upward momentum, with a long signal label (displaying white text) marking potential buying opportunities.
- **Short Entry:** Occurs when the price drops below the TRF with accompanying downward momentum, with a short signal label displayed above the bar.
Alerts for both long and short entries are built in, allowing for timely notifications.
**User Experience:**
The indicator’s Inputs tab is streamlined by grouping all Exponential Moving Averages settings at the top, where fixed EMAs are always active and adjustable EMAs can be toggled on per user preference. The True Range Filter settings follow in their own group, enabling easy customization of its source and smoothing parameters. In the Styles tab, only the fixed EMAs (200 and 9) and the signal labels are enabled by default, while the adjustable EMAs and the TRF line are initially hidden—allowing the user to opt-in to additional overlays as desired.
This sophisticated blend of trend analysis and dynamic volatility filtering offers traders a robust tool for capturing market direction and timing entries. Whether you’re using it as a primary signal generator or a supplemental filter, it provides clarity in fast-moving markets.

Time-Based Fair Value Gaps (FVG) with Inversions (iFVG)Overview
The Time-Based Fair Value Gaps (FVG) with Inversions (iFVG) (ICT/SMT) indicator is a specialized tool designed for traders using Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodologies. Inspired by LuxAlgo's Fair Value Gap indicator, this script introduces significant enhancements by integrating ICT principles, focusing on precise time-based FVG detection, inversion tracking, and retest signals tailored for institutional trading strategies. Unlike LuxAlgo’s general FVG approach, this indicator filters FVGs within customizable 10-minute windows aligned with ICT’s macro timeframes and incorporates ICT-specific concepts like mitigation, liquidity grabs, and session-based gap prioritization.
This tool is optimized for 1–5 minute charts, though probably best for 1 minute charts, identifying bullish and bearish FVGs, tracking their mitigation into inverted FVGs (iFVGs) as key support/resistance zones, and generating retest signals with customizable “Close” or “Wick” confirmation. Features like ATR-based filtering, optional FVG labels, mitigation removal, and session-specific FVG detection (e.g., first FVG in AM/PM sessions) make it a powerful tool for ICT traders.
Originality and Improvements
While inspired by LuxAlgo’s FVG indicator (credit to LuxAlgo for their foundational work), this script significantly extends the original concept by:
1. Time-Based FVG Detection: Unlike LuxAlgo’s continuous FVG identification, this script filters FVGs within user-defined 10-minute windows each hour (:00–:10, :10–:20, etc.), aligning with ICT’s emphasis on specific periods of institutional activity, such as hourly opens/closes or kill zones (e.g., New York 7:00–11:00 AM EST). This ensures FVGs are relevant to high-probability ICT setups.
2. Session-Specific First FVG Option: A unique feature allows traders to display only the first FVG in ICT-defined AM (9:30–10:00 AM EST) or PM (1:30–2:00 PM EST) sessions, reflecting ICT’s focus on initial market imbalances during key liquidity events.
3. ICT-Driven Mitigation and Inversion Logic: The script tracks FVG mitigation (when price closes through a gap) and converts mitigated FVGs into iFVGs, which serve as ICT-style support/resistance zones. This aligns with ICT’s view that mitigated gaps become critical reversal points, unlike LuxAlgo’s simpler gap display.
4. Customizable Retest Signals: Retest signals for iFVGs are configurable for “Close” (conservative, requiring candle body confirmation) or “Wick” (faster, using highs/lows), catering to ICT traders’ need for precise entry timing during liquidity grabs or Judas swings.
5. ATR Filtering and Mitigation Removal: An optional ATR filter ensures only significant FVGs are displayed, reducing noise, while mitigation removal declutters the chart by removing filled gaps, aligning with ICT’s principle that mitigated gaps lose relevance unless inverted.
6. Timezone and Timeframe Safeguards: A timezone offset setting aligns FVG detection with EST for ICT’s New York-centric strategies, and a timeframe warning alerts users to avoid ≥1-hour charts, ensuring accuracy in time-based filtering.
These enhancements make the script a distinct tool that builds on LuxAlgo’s foundation while offering ICT traders a tailored, high-precision solution.
How It Works
FVG Detection
FVGs are identified when a candle’s low is higher than the high of two candles prior (bullish FVG) or a candle’s high is lower than the low of two candles prior (bearish FVG). Detection is restricted to:
• User-selected 10-minute windows (e.g., :00–:10, :50–:60) to capture ICT-relevant periods like hourly transitions.
• AM/PM session first FVGs (if enabled), focusing on 9:30–10:00 AM or 1:30–2:00 PM EST for key market opens.
An optional ATR filter (default: 0.25× ATR) ensures only gaps larger than the threshold are displayed, prioritizing significant imbalances.
Mitigation and Inversion
When price closes through an FVG (e.g., below a bullish FVG’s bottom), the FVG is mitigated and becomes an iFVG, plotted as a support/resistance zone. iFVGs are critical in ICT for identifying reversal points where institutional orders accumulate.
Retest Signals
The script generates signals when price retests an iFVG:
• Close: Triggers when the candle body confirms the retest (conservative, lower noise).
• Wick: Triggers when the candle’s high/low touches the iFVG (faster, higher sensitivity). Signals are visualized with triangular markers (▲ for bullish, ▼ for bearish) and can trigger alerts.
Visualization
• FVGs: Displayed as colored boxes (green for bullish, red for bearish) with optional “Bull FVG”/“Bear FVG” labels.
• iFVGs: Shown as extended boxes with dashed midlines, limited to the user-defined number of recent zones (default: 5).
• Mitigation Removal: Mitigated FVGs/iFVGs are removed (if enabled) to keep the chart clean.
How to Use
Recommended Settings
• Timeframe: Use 1–5 minute charts for precision, avoiding ≥1-hour timeframes (a warning label appears if misconfigured).
• Time Windows: Enable :00–:10 and :50–:60 for hourly open/close FVGs, or use the “Show only 1st presented FVG” option for AM/PM session focus.
• ATR Filter: Keep enabled (multiplier 0.25–0.5) for significant gaps; disable on 1-minute charts for more FVGs during volatility.
• Signal Preference: Use “Close” for conservative entries, “Wick” for aggressive setups.
• Timezone Offset: Set to -5 for EST (or -4 for EDT) to align with ICT’s New York session.
Trading Strategy
1. Macro Timeframes: Focus on New York (7:00–11:00 AM EST) or London (2:00–5:00 AM EST) kill zones for high institutional activity.
2. FVG Entries: Trade bullish FVGs as support in uptrends or bearish FVGs as resistance in downtrends, especially in :00–:10 or :50–:60 windows.
3. iFVG Retests: Enter on retest signals (▲/▼) during liquidity grabs or Judas swings, using “Close” for confirmation or “Wick” for speed.
4. Session FVGs: Use the “Show only 1st presented FVG” option to target the first gap in AM/PM sessions, often tied to ICT’s market maker algorithms.
5. Risk Management: Combine with ICT concepts like order blocks or breaker blocks for confluence, and set stops beyond FVG/iFVG boundaries.

Best For
Traders who use Smart Money Concepts (SMC), liquidity-based strategies, or look for stop hunts and reversal zones tied to key prior-day levels.
Works well across FX, crypto, and indices on 15m, 1H, and 4H charts.
Liquidity Sweep AlertThis alert script detects liquidity sweeps, which occur when price briefly breaks above a recent high or below a recent low, then quickly reverses. These events often indicate institutional stop hunts and potential market reversals. The alert is triggered when a candle exceeds a defined high/low range but fails to close beyond it—signaling a failed breakout. It's ideal for identifying high-probability reversal zones in both trending and ranging markets.
