Internal Candle Strength [LuxAlgo]The Internal Candle Strength tool allows traders to divide each chart bar into multiple rows of custom size and inspect the strength of the lower timeframes trends located within each row.
This tool effectively helps traders in identifying the power dynamic between bulls and bears within multiple areas within each bar, providing the ability to conduct LTF analysis.
🔶 USAGE
The strength displayed within each row ranges from 0% to 100%, with 0% being the most bearish and 100% being the most bullish.
Traders should be aware of the extreme probabilities located at the higher/lower end of the bars, as this can signal a change in strength and price direction.
Traders can select the lower timeframe to pull the data from or the row size in the scale of the chart. Selecting a lower timeframe will provide more data to evaluate an area's strength.
Do note that only a timeframe lower than the chart timeframe should be selected.
🔹 Row Size
Selecting a smaller row size will increase the number of rows per bar, allowing for a more detailed analysis. A lower value will also generally mean that less data will be considered when calculating the strength of a specific area.
As we can see on the chart above (all BTCUSD 30m), by selecting a different row size, traders can control how many rows are displayed per bar.
🔶 SETTINGS
Timeframe: Lower timeframe used to calculate the candle strength.
Row Size: Size of each row on the chart scale, expressed as a fraction of the candle range.

Fair Value Gap [Custom]📌 FVG Indicator – Smart Money Concepts Tool
This script is based on Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and automatically detects and marks Fair Value Gaps (FVG) on the chart, helping traders identify unbalanced price areas left behind by institutional moves.
🧠 What is an FVG?
An FVG (Fair Value Gap) is the price gap formed when the market moves rapidly, leaving behind a candle range where no trading occurred — typically between Candle 1’s high and Candle 3’s low (in a three-candle pattern). These gaps often signal imbalance, created during structural breaks or liquidity grabs, and may act as retrace zones or entry points.
🛠 Features:
✅ Automatically detects and highlights FVG zones (high-low range)
✅ Differentiates between open (unfilled) and closed (filled) FVGs
✅ Adjustable timeframe settings (works best on 1H–4H charts)
✅ Option to toggle display of filled FVGs
✅ Great for identifying pullback entries, continuation zones, or reversal setups
💡 Recommended Use:
After BOS/CHoCH, watch for price to return to the FVG for entry
Combine with Order Blocks and liquidity zones for higher accuracy
Best used as part of an ICT or SMC-based trading system
Chaithanya Tattva Volume Zones📜 "Chaitanya Tattva" Volume Zones:-
A Sacred Framework of Supply, Demand & Market Energy
In the world of financial markets, price is said to reflect all information. But the true pulse of the market — its life force, its intent, and its moment of truth — is most vividly expressed not in price itself, but in volume.
Chaitanya Tattva Volume Zones is a spiritually inspired volume-based tool that transforms your chart into a canvas of market consciousness, revealing moments where supply and demand engage in visible energetic spikes. These moments are often disguised as ordinary candles, but with this tool, you uncover zones of intent — footprints left by the market’s deeper intelligence.
🌟 Why “Chaitanya Tattva”?
Chaitanya (चैतन्य) is a Sanskrit word meaning consciousness, awareness, or the spark of life energy. It is that which animates — the subtle intelligence behind all movement.
Tattva (तत्त्व) refers to essence, truth, or the underlying principle of a thing. In classical yogic philosophy, the tattvas are the elemental building blocks of reality.
Together, Chaitanya Tattva represents the conscious essence — the living pulse that animates the market through volume surges and imbalances.
This tool is not just a technical indicator — it is a spiritual observation device that aligns with the rhythm of volume and price action. It doesn't predict the market. It reveals when the market has already spoken — loudly, clearly, and energetically.
📈 What Does the Tool Do?
Chaitanya Tattva Volume Zones identifies exceptional volume spikes within the recent price history and visually marks the areas where market intent has been most active.
Specifically, the tool:
Scans for volume spikes that exceed all the volume of the last N bars (default is 20)
Confirms whether the spike happened on a bullish candle (close > open) or bearish candle (close < open)
For a bullish spike, it marks a Supply Zone — the area between the high and close of the candle
For a bearish spike, it marks a Demand Zone — the area between the low and close
Visually paints these zones with soft translucent boxes (red for supply, green for demand) that extend forward across multiple bars
🧘♂️ The Spiritual Framework
🔴 Supply = "Agni" — The Fire of Expansion
When a bullish candle erupts with historically high volume, it symbolizes the fire (Agni) of market optimism and upward expansion. It means that buyers have absorbed available supply at that level and established dominance — but such fire may also signal exhaustion, making it a potential supply barrier if price returns.
These Supply Zones are areas where:
Sellers are likely to re-engage
Smart money may be unloading
Future resistance can be anticipated
But unlike traditional indicators, this tool doesn’t guess. It reacts only to a clear volume-based event — when market energy surges — and locks in that awareness through zone marking.
🟢 Demand = "Prithvi" — The Grounding of Price
On the other hand, a bearish candle with extremely high volume represents the Earth (Prithvi) — grounding the price with firm hands. A strong volume drop often means buyers are stepping in, absorbing the selling pressure.
These Demand Zones are areas where:
Buying interest is proven
Market memory is stored
Future support can be expected
By respecting these zones, you're aligning your trading with natural market boundaries — not theoretical ones.
🧠 How Is It Different from Regular Volume Tools?
While most volume indicators show bars on a lower panel, they leave interpretation up to the trader. “High” or “low” becomes subjective.
Chaitanya Tattva Volume Zones is different:
It quantifies "spike": a bar must exceed all previous N volumes
It qualifies the intent: was the spike bullish or bearish?
It marks zones on the price chart: no need to guess levels
It preserves market memory: the zones persist visually for easy reference
In essence, this tool doesn’t just report volume — it interprets volume’s context and visually encodes it into the chart.
🧘 How to Use
1. Support/Resistance Mapping
Use the tool to understand where volume proved itself. If price revisits a red zone, expect possible rejection (resistance). If price revisits a green zone, expect possible absorption (support).
2. Entry Triggers
You may enter:
Long near demand zones if bullish confirmation appears
Short near supply zones if bearish confirmation appears
3. Stop Placement
Stops can be placed just beyond the zone boundary to align with areas where smart money historically defended.
4. Breakout Confidence
When price breaks through one of these zones with momentum, it often signals a new energetic wave — the old balance has been overcome.
🔔 Key Features
Volume spike detection across any timeframe
Clear visual zones — no clutter, no lag
Highly customizable: zone width, volume lookback, colors
Philosophy-aligned with supply and demand theory, Wyckoff, and Order Flow
🌌 A Metaphysical View of Volume
In yogic science, volume is akin to Prana — life-force energy. A market is not moved by price alone but by intent, force, and participation — all encoded in volume.
Just as a human body pulses with blood when action intensifies, the market pulses with volume when institutional decisions are made.
These pulses become sacred footprints — and Chaitanya Tattva Volume Zones helps you walk mindfully among them.
🔮 Final Thoughts
In a sea of indicators that shout at you with every tick, Chaitanya Tattva is calm. It speaks only when energy concentrates, only when the market sends a signal born of intent.
It doesn’t predict.
It doesn’t repaint.
It simply shows the truth, when the truth becomes undeniable.
Like a sage that speaks only when needed, it waits for volume to prove itself — then draws a memory into space, a zone where traders can re-align their actions with what the market has already honored.
Use it not just to trade —
But to listen.
To observe.
To follow the Chaitanya — the conscious pulse of the market’s own breath.
Retracement Bar🔍 Retracement Bar – RB
The Retracement Bar (RB) indicator is designed to highlight potential reversal zones by identifying candles where price shows a clear rejection from the extremes. It helps traders spot moments where institutional inventory rebalancing may be occurring — often a precursor to a strong move in the opposite direction.
RB highlights bars that:
Have a relatively small real body compared to the total candle range.
Show a long wick (upper or lower) that exceeds a user-defined percentage of the candle range.
Suggest a potential rejection of price — upward or downward — based on candle structure.
When these conditions are met, a triangle symbol is plotted:
🔻 Red triangle above a candle suggests a possible short opportunity.
🔺 Green triangle below a candle suggests a possible long opportunity.
This indicator does not repaint and triggers only at candle close.
📈 Example – Long Entry
Signal: A green triangle appears below a candle (suggesting rejection of lower prices).
Steps:
Wait for the current RB candle to close.
On the next candle:
Enter long if price breaks above the high of the RB candle.
Alternatively, wait for a pullback and enter based on confirmation (e.g., bullish engulfing, hammer, trendline bounce).
Place a stop-loss just below the low of the RB candle.
Set a target:
Based on a 2:1 risk-reward ratio.
Or use the next resistance/Fibonacci level.
📉 Example – Short Entry
Signal: A red triangle appears above a candle (suggesting rejection of higher prices).
Steps:
Wait for the current RB candle to close.
On the next candle:
Enter short if price breaks below the low of the RB candle.
Or wait for confirmation (e.g., bearish engulfing, shooting star, breakdown from a level).
Place a stop-loss just above the high of the RB candle.
Set a target:
2:1 risk-reward ratio.
Or the next support/Fibonacci zone.
✅ Recommended Filters for Better Results:
Confluence with support/resistance zones.
Trend alignment or reversal context.
Additional confirmation from price action patterns or oscillators.
Volume analysis for entry strength.

X ORTX ORT — Opening Range & Time Reference Tool
Overview
The X ORT indicator is a precision tool designed for intraday traders seeking to anchor their trading decisions to high-probability price levels. It captures key market reference points including Opening Ranges, Settlement Prices, and Time-Specific Opens, all based on New York time, to help identify potential pivots and directional bias in the market.
Key Features & Usage
🔹 Opening Range Boxes (ORs)
The indicator defines up to two customizable Opening Ranges (e.g., 9:30–9:59 and 8:20–8:49 ET). Each range dynamically tracks the high, low, and midpoint price as the session unfolds, and continues to extend those levels forward throughout the day.
Use as Pivots: The high and low of the Opening Range often act as intraday support and resistance zones. A breakout above the ORH (Opening Range High) may signal bullish intent, while a drop below the ORL (Opening Range Low) may suggest bearish momentum.
Use for Directional Bias: If price remains above or below the range after completion, it may indicate a continuation in that direction. The midpoint (dashed line) serves as a mean-reversion or fair value pivot.
🔸 Settlement Price Anchors
The indicator optionally plots Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Settlement Prices, which are significant institutional reference points.
Use as Market Anchors: Settlement prices are often used by professionals to gauge positioning. Price acceptance above or below settlement can signal strength or weakness and guide directional trades.
Historical weekly and monthly settlements help define multi-day or swing levels for broader context.
🔹 Time-Based Open Levels
X ORT also draws horizontal lines at the open price of specific time points: Midnight, 8:30 AM, 9:30 AM, and 1:30 PM ET.
Use for Session Anchors: These reference opens are useful for understanding session shifts, aligning with key economic releases (like 8:30 AM), and gauging session-to-session continuity.
Why Use X ORT?
Objective Structure: Provides rule-based levels to avoid emotional trading.
Visual Clarity: Transparent, extendable boxes and labeled lines help traders focus on key decision zones.
Multi-Time Context: Blends intraday and higher timeframe levels to support short-term and swing traders.
Whether you're breakout trading, fading range extremes, or gauging market bias, X ORT offers a reliable structural foundation that aligns with how professionals track price behavior throughout the trading day.
