Engulfing Candle PatternIndicator Overview
This indicator identifies Bullish and Bearish Engulfing candlestick patterns on a price chart. These patterns are reversal signals:
Bullish Engulfing: Occurs during a downtrend, where a bullish candle fully engulfs the body of the previous bearish candle.
Bearish Engulfing: Occurs during an uptrend, where a bearish candle fully engulfs the body of the previous bullish candle.
Key Features
1. Pattern Detection:
Detects Bullish Engulfing and Bearish Engulfing patterns based on candle body comparisons.
Uses the current and previous candle's open/close prices to determine engulfing conditions.
2. Visualization:
Plots labels on the chart:
" Bullish Engulfing " below the candle for bullish patterns.
" Bearish Engulfing " above the candle for bearish patterns.
3. Alerts:
Triggers alerts when either pattern is detected, allowing traders to take action.
How It Works
Bullish Engulfing Condition:
Current candle is bullish (close > open).
Previous candle is bearish (close < open).
Current candle's body fully engulfs the previous candle's body.
Bearish Engulfing Condition:
- Current candle is bearish (close < open).
- Previous candle is bullish (close > open).
- Current candle's body fully engulfs the previous candle's body.
Usage
- Apply the script to any chart in TradingView.
- Look for " Bullish Engulfing " or " Bearish Engulfing " labels on the chart.
- Set up alerts to get notified when these patterns form.
This indicator is a simple yet effective tool for identifying potential trend reversals using engulfing candlestick patterns.

Buy on VolumeThis script has several weaknesses:
1. **Overly Simplistic Logic** – The buy signal is based on just two conditions (DEMA crossing above a Lorentzian Line and a volume spike), which may not be robust enough for real trading conditions.
2. **Lack of Sell Signals** – The script only focuses on buy signals without any exit strategy, making it incomplete for practical trading.
3. **Volume Confirmation May Be Unreliable** – The threshold for volume confirmation (50% above average) is arbitrary and may produce frequent false positives or fail in low-liquidity conditions.
4. **No Risk Management** – There is no stop-loss, take-profit, or risk-adjustment mechanism, making it unsuitable for serious trading.
5. **Potential for Late Entries** – The reliance on moving averages (DEMA) can introduce lag, causing buy signals to appear late after a price move has already occurred.
6. **Limited Adaptability** – The fixed parameter settings (e.g., DEMA period of 6, Lorentzian length of 21) may not work across different market conditions or assets.
7. **No Consideration for Market Trends** – The script does not account for broader market trends, which could lead to poor entries in bearish conditions.
8. **Visual Clutter** – The plotted signals and indicators might create unnecessary chart noise, making it difficult to analyze price action effectively.
9. **Alert Spam Potential** – Without additional filtering conditions, the script may trigger frequent buy alerts, leading to signal fatigue.
Effective FVG Indicator - ImranDescription:
The Effective FVG Indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to identify Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) in financial markets. FVGs occur when there is a significant gap between the closing price of one session and the opening price of the next session, often indicating a potential reversal point. This indicator uses volume and price movement criteria to confirm and mark these gaps effectively.
Key Features:
Fair Value Gap Detection : Identifies both bullish and bearish FVGs based on significant gaps in price.
Volume Confirmation : Confirms FVGs with high volume, ensuring that the gap is not due to a lack of liquidity.
Price Imbalance : Ensures that the gap is accompanied by a large price movement within the session, indicating strong market sentiment.
Buy/Sell Signals : Marks bullish FVGs with a green "BUY" label below the bar and bearish FVGs with a red "SELL" label above the bar.
Background Highlighting : Highlights the background with a semi-transparent green or red color when a valid FVG is detected, making it easy to spot significant gaps.

Bullish Engulfing Pattern (Green Label)
What it means: A bullish engulfing pattern typically signals a potential reversal from a downtrend to an uptrend. The current candle fully engulfs the previous candle, signaling strong buying interest.
Identifying Candlestick Patterns on the Chart
How to use it:
Entry: Look for a green label (bullish engulfing) at the bottom of the chart. When it appears, consider entering a long position (buy).
Confirmation: To increase reliability, wait for confirmation by observing if price moves above the high of the bullish engulfing candle.
Exit: Exit when the trend shows signs of reversing or take profit at predefined levels (e.g., resistance or a risk-to-reward ratio).
Bearish Engulfing Pattern (Red Label)
What it means: A bearish engulfing pattern is a signal of a potential reversal from an uptrend to a downtrend. The current candle fully engulfs the previous candle, signaling strong selling pressure.
How to use it:
Entry: Look for a red label (bearish engulfing) at the top of the chart. When it appears, consider entering a short position (sell).
Confirmation: Wait for the price to move below the low of the bearish engulfing candle to confirm the bearish trend.
Exit: Close the trade when the price reaches support levels or the trend shows signs of reversing.
Doji Pattern (Blue Circle)
What it means: A Doji candle signals market indecision. It represents a balance between buyers and sellers, often marking a potential reversal or consolidation point.
How to use it:
Entry: If the Doji appears after a strong trend (bullish or bearish), wait for the next candle to break above or below the Doji's high or low. This can signal a continuation or reversal.
Confirmation: You can look for additional indicators like moving averages, RSI, or MACD for confirmation before taking any action.
Exit: Exit when the price shows clear momentum in your entry direction.
Hammer Pattern (Orange Triangle)
What it means: The hammer pattern is a bullish reversal pattern that appears after a downtrend. It suggests that sellers pushed the price down during the session, but buyers managed to push the price back up.
How to use it:
Entry: When a hammer appears, consider entering a long position (buy). The price should move above the hammer's high for confirmation.
Confirmation: Look for strong volume and a follow-up bullish candle to confirm the reversal.
Exit: Set a target based on the next resistance level, or use a trailing stop to lock in profits.
Using Candlestick Patterns with Other Indicators
To increase your chances of success, combine candlestick patterns with other technical indicators.
Here are some ideas:
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Use RSI to check whether the market is overbought or oversold. A bullish engulfing in an oversold market could indicate a stronger buy signal, and a bearish engulfing in an overbought market could indicate a stronger sell signal.
Moving Averages (e.g., 50 EMA, 200 EMA): Confirm trend direction. If the candlestick pattern aligns with the direction of the moving averages, it can give a stronger signal.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): Use MACD to confirm momentum and potential trend changes. If a candlestick pattern aligns with a MACD crossover, it strengthens the signal.
Volume: Look for higher-than-average volume when a pattern appears. This can give you additional confirmation that the market is reacting strongly.
Practice and Refine
It's important to practice using the candlestick patterns in a demo account or backtest them to see how they perform under different market conditions. Over time, you can adjust the settings and patterns to fit your trading style and preferences.

rsi = ta.rsi(close, rsi_length)
// StochRSI transformation
stochRSI = ((ta.highest(rsi, stoch_length) - ta.lowest(rsi, stoch_length)) != 0) ?
(100 * (rsi - ta.lowest(rsi, stoch_length))) /
(ta.highest(rsi, stoch_length) - ta.lowest(rsi, stoch_length)) : 0
2. Signal Generation System:
// Core signal conditions
crossover_buy = crossOver(sk, sd, cross_threshold)
valid_buy_zone = sk < 30 and sd < 30
price_within_sma_bands = close <= sma_high and close >= sma_low
// Enhanced signal generation
if crossover_buy and valid_buy_zone and price_within_sma_bands and htf_allows_long
if is_bullish_candle
long_signal := true
else
awaiting_bull_confirmation := true
3. Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
= request.security(syminfo.tickerid, mtf_period,
)
The HTF filter looks at a higher timeframe (default: 4H) to confirm the trend
It only allows:
Long trades when the higher timeframe is bullish
Short trades when the higher timeframe is bearish
📈 Trading Application Guide:
1. Signal Identification
• Oversold Opportunities (< 30 level)
- Look for bullish crosses of K-line above D-line
- Confirm with higher timeframe alignment
- Wait for price action confirmation (bullish candle)
• Overbought Conditions (> 70 level)
- Watch for bearish crosses of K-line below D-line
- Verify higher timeframe condition
- Confirm with bearish price action
2. Divergence Trading
• Bullish Divergence
- Price makes lower lows while indicator makes higher lows
- Most effective when occurring in oversold territory
- Use with support levels for entry timing
• Bearish Divergence
- Price makes higher highs while indicator shows lower highs
- Most reliable in overbought conditions
- Combine with resistance levels
3. Wave Effect Analysis
• Strong Waves
- Multiple wave lines moving in same direction indicate momentum
- Wider wave spread suggests increased volatility
- Use for trend strength confirmation
• Energy Field
- Higher intensity in trading zones suggests stronger moves
- Use for momentum confirmation
- Watch for energy field convergence with price action
The energy field is like a heat map that shows momentum strength
It gets stronger (more visible) when:
Price is in oversold (<30) or overbought (>70) zones
The indicator lines are moving apart quickly
A strong signal is forming
Think of it as a "strength meter" - the more visible the energy field, the stronger the potential move
4. Risk Management Integration
• Entry Confirmation
- Wait for all signal components to align
- Use higher timeframe for trend direction
- Confirm with price action and SMA positions
• Stop Loss Placement
- Consider placing stops beyond recent swing points
- Use ATR for dynamic stop calculation
- Account for market volatility
5. Position Management
• Partial Profit Taking
- Consider scaling out at overbought/oversold levels
- Use wave effect intensity for exit timing
- Monitor energy field for momentum shifts
• Trade Duration
- Short-term: Use primary signals in trading zones
- Swing trades: Focus on divergence signals
- Position trades: Utilize higher timeframe signals
⚠️ Important Usage Notes:
• Avoid:
- Trading against strong trends
- Relying solely on single signals
- Ignoring higher timeframe context
- Over-leveraging based on signals
Remember: This tool is designed to assist in analysis but should never be used as the sole decision-maker for trades. Always maintain proper risk management and combine with other forms of analysis.

Stick Sandwich Pattern# Stick Sandwich Pattern Indicator
## Description
The Stick Sandwich Pattern Indicator is a custom TradingView script that identifies specific three-candle patterns in financial markets. The indicator uses a sandwich emoji (🥪) to mark pattern occurrences directly on the chart, making it visually intuitive and easy to spot potential trading opportunities.
## Pattern Types
### Bullish Stick Sandwich
A bullish stick sandwich pattern is identified when:
- First candle: Bullish (close > open)
- Second candle: Bearish (close < open)
- Third candle: Bullish (close > open)
- The closing price of the third candle is within 10% of the first candle's range from its closing price
### Bearish Stick Sandwich
A bearish stick sandwich pattern is identified when:
- First candle: Bearish (close < open)
- Second candle: Bullish (close > open)
- Third candle: Bearish (close < open)
- The closing price of the third candle is within 10% of the first candle's range from its closing price
## Technical Implementation
- Written in Pine Script v5
- Runs as an overlay indicator
- Uses a 10% tolerance range for closing price comparison
- Implements rolling pattern detection over the last 3 candles
- Break statement ensures only the most recent pattern is marked
## Visual Features
- Bullish patterns: Green sandwich emoji above the pattern
- Bearish patterns: Red sandwich emoji below the pattern
- Label size: Small
- Label styles:
- Bullish: Label points upward
- Bearish: Label points downward
## Usage
1. Add the indicator to your TradingView chart
2. Look for sandwich emojis that appear above or below price bars
3. Green emojis indicate potential bullish reversals
4. Red emojis indicate potential bearish reversals
## Code Structure
- Main indicator function with overlay setting
- Two separate functions for pattern detection:
- `bullishStickSandwich()`
- `bearishStickSandwich()`
- Pattern scanning loop that checks the last 3 candles
- Built-in label plotting for visual identification
## Formula Details
The closing price comparison uses the following tolerance calculation:
```
Tolerance = (High - Low of first candle) * 0.1
Valid if: |Close of third candle - Close of first candle| <= Tolerance
```
## Notes
- The indicator marks patterns in real-time as they form
- Only the most recent pattern within the last 3 candles is marked
- Pattern validation includes both candle direction and closing price proximity
- The 10% tolerance helps filter out weak patterns while catching meaningful ones
## Disclaimer
This indicator is for informational purposes only. Always use proper risk management and consider multiple factors when making trading decisions.
Multi-Timeframe Trend StatusThis Multi-Timeframe Trend Status indicator tracks market trends across four timeframes ( by default, 65-minute, 240-minute, daily, and monthly). It uses a Volatility Stop based on the Average True Range (ATR) to determine the trend direction. The ATR is multiplied by a user-adjustable multiplier to create a dynamic buffer zone that filters out market noise.
The indicator tracks the volatility stop and trend direction for each timeframe. In an uptrend, the stop trails below the price, adjusting upward, and signals a downtrend if the price falls below it. In a downtrend, the stop trails above the price, moving down with the market, and signals an uptrend if the price rises above it.
Two input parameters allow for customization:
ATR Length: Defines the period for ATR calculation.
ATR Multiplier: Adjusts the sensitivity of trend changes.
This setup lets traders align short-term decisions with long-term market context and spot potential trading opportunities or reversals.
MT-Trend Zone IdentifierTrend Zone Identifier – A Dynamic Market Trend Mapping Tool
Overview
The Trend Zone Identifier is an advanced TradingView indicator that helps traders visualize different market trend phases. By leveraging Pivot Points, Moving Averages (MA), ADX (Average Directional Index), and Retest Confirmation, this tool identifies uptrend, downtrend, and ranging (sideways) conditions dynamically.
This indicator is designed to segment the market into clear trend zones, allowing traders to distinguish between confirmed trends, trend transitions (pending zones), and ranging markets. It provides an intuitive visual overlay to enhance market structure analysis and assist in decision-making.
Key Features
✔ Trend Zone Identification – Classifies price action into Uptrend (Green), Downtrend (Red), Pending Confirmation (Light Colors), and Sideways Market (Gray/Neutral)
✔ Pivot-Based Breakout & Breakdown Detection – Uses pivot highs/lows to determine trend shifts
✔ Moving Average & ADX Validation – Ensures the trend is backed by MA structure and ADX trend strength
✔ Pullback Confirmation – Allows trend confirmation based on price retesting key levels
✔ Extreme Volatility & Gaps Filtering – Optional ATR-based extreme movement filtering to avoid false signals
✔ Multi-Timeframe Support – Option to integrate higher timeframe trend validation
✔ Customizable Sensitivity – Fine-tune MA smoothing, ADX thresholds, pivot detection, and pullback range
How It Works
1. Trend Classification
• Uptrend (Green): Price is above a key MA, ADX confirms strength, and a pivot breakout occurs
• Downtrend (Red): Price is below a key MA, ADX confirms strength, and a pivot breakdown occurs
• Pending Trend (Light Colors): Initial trend breakout or breakdown is detected but requires further confirmation
• Sideways/Ranging (Gray): ADX signals a weak trend, and price remains within a neutral zone
2. Retest & Confirmation Logic
• A trend is only confirmed after a breakout or breakdown followed by a successful retest
• If the market fails the retest, the indicator resets to a neutral state
3. Custom Filters for Optimization
• Enable or disable volume filtering for confirmation
• Adjust pivot sensitivity to detect major or minor swing points
• Choose to require consecutive bars confirming the breakout/breakdown
Ideal Use Cases
🔹 Swing traders who want to capture trend transitions early
🔹 Trend-following traders who rely on confirmed market cycles
🔹 Range traders looking to identify sideways market zones
🔹 Algorithmic traders who need clean trend segmentation for automated strategies
Final Thoughts
The Trend Zone Identifier is a versatile market structure indicator that helps traders define trend cycles visually and avoid trading against weak trends. By providing clear breakout, breakdown, and retest conditions, it enhances market clarity and reduces decision-making errors.

Inside BarsInside Bars Indicator
Description:
This indicator identifies and highlights price action patterns where a bar's high and low
are completely contained within the previous bar's range. Inside bars are significant
technical patterns that often signal a period of price consolidation or uncertainty,
potentially leading to a breakout in either direction.
Trading Literature & Theory:
Inside bars are well-documented in technical analysis literature:
- Steve Nison discusses them in "Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques" as a form
of harami pattern, indicating potential trend reversals
- Thomas Bulkowski's "Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns" categorizes inside bars as
a consolidation pattern with statistical significance for breakout trading
- Alexander Elder references them in "Trading for a Living" as indicators of
decreasing volatility and potential energy build-up
- John Murphy's "Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets" includes inside bars
as part of price action analysis for market psychology understanding
The pattern is particularly significant because it represents:
1. Volatility Contraction: A narrowing of price range indicating potential energy build-up
2. Institutional Activity: Often shows large players absorbing or distributing positions
3. Decision Point: Market participants evaluating the previous bar's significance
Trading Applications:
1. Breakout Trading
- Watch for breaks above the parent bar's high (bullish signal)
- Monitor breaks below the parent bar's low (bearish signal)
- Multiple consecutive inside bars can indicate stronger breakout potential
2. Market Psychology
- Inside bars represent a period of equilibrium between buyers and sellers
- Shows market uncertainty and potential energy building up
- Often precedes significant price movements
Best Market Conditions:
- Trending markets approaching potential reversal points
- After strong momentum moves where the market needs to digest gains
- Near key support/resistance levels
- During pre-breakout consolidation phases
Complementary Indicators:
- Volume indicators to confirm breakout strength
- Trend indicators (Moving Averages, ADX) for context
- Momentum indicators (RSI, MACD) for additional confirmation
Risk Management:
- Use parent bar's range for stop loss placement
- Wait for breakout confirmation before entry
- Consider time-based exits if breakout doesn't occur
- More reliable on higher timeframes
Note: The indicator works best when combined with proper risk management
and overall market context analysis. Avoid trading every inside bar pattern
and always confirm with volume and other technical indicators.
Responsive Moving Average with Trend Detection - MissouriTimThis indicator calculates a responsive moving average (RMA) that dynamically adjusts its sensitivity based on market volatility. This indicator is more responsive that SMAs, EMAs, WMAs, and HMAs. Here's how it functions:
Dynamic Length Adjustment: Utilizes the Average True Range (ATR) to adjust the length of the moving average. In times of increased volatility, the length decreases to make the average more responsive to price changes, and in quieter markets, it increases to reduce noise.
Responsive and Smoothed Moving Averages:
Responsive EMA: An initial Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is calculated with a dynamically adjusted length for responsiveness.
Smoothing: A secondary layer of smoothing is applied to this responsive EMA to further smooth out price fluctuations.
Trend Detection:
Detects trends by comparing the current smoothed EMA with its previous values:
Uptrend is identified when the current smoothed EMA is higher than the last two periods.
Downtrend is recognized when the current smoothed EMA is lower than the last two periods.
Consolidation occurs when neither an uptrend nor a downtrend is present.
Visual Representation:
The moving average line changes color:
Green for an uptrend.
Red for a downtrend.
Orange for consolidation.
Significant Trend Labels:
Labels are displayed when there's a significant change in the moving average:
Uptrend Labels appear when the EMA increases by more than the user-defined "Uptrend Label on % Change" threshold, placed at the high of the bar with green background.
Downtrend Labels are shown when the EMA decreases by more than the "Downtrend Label on % Change" threshold, positioned at the low of the bar with a red background.
Users can enable or disable these labels, and the thresholds for labeling uptrends and downtrends can be adjusted separately to match market conditions or user preferences.
This indicator is tailored for traders needing a moving average that adapts to market dynamics while providing clear visual feedback on significant trend changes via color-coded lines and labels.
Dynamic Currency Strength IndexDescription:
This indicator calculates the relative strength of the base currency and quote currency of the currently selected forex pair. Instead of just using a single pair comparison (e.g., GBPUSD - AUDUSD), it determines currency strength using a basket of related pairs, making it more accurate and useful for trading decisions.
How It Works:
Extracts the base and quote currencies from the selected forex pair.
Calculates their individual strengths using multiple related forex pairs.
Displays the strength difference between the base and quote currencies.
How to Use:
✔️ If the strength difference is positive, the base currency is stronger → Bullish signal.
✔️ If the strength difference is negative, the quote currency is stronger → Bearish signal.
✔️ Use it to confirm trends, filter trades, and improve entry timing in forex trading.
💡 Ideal for traders using trend-based strategies (Dow Theory, HH-HL patterns, breakouts, etc.).
Bars pattern MLThis script implements a K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN)-based machine learning model to predict future price movements in financial markets. It analyzes past price action using Euclidean distance and selects the most similar historical patterns to estimate future price changes. Unlike traditional KNN implementations, this approach optimizes distance calculations by maintaining a dynamically updated list of the closest neighbors, ensuring efficient selection without the need for sorting. The model generates a forecasted price trajectory based on incremental predictions, which are visualized on the chart using polylines for better interpretability.
MACD & Bollinger Bands Overbought OversoldMACD & Bollinger Bands Reversal Detector
This indicator combines the power of MACD divergence analysis with Bollinger Bands to help traders identify potential reversal points in the market.
Key Features:
MACD Calculation & Divergence:
The script calculates the standard MACD components (MACD line, Signal line, and Histogram) using configurable fast, slow, and signal lengths. It includes a simplified divergence detection mechanism that flags potential bearish divergence—when the price makes a new swing high but the MACD fails to confirm the move. This divergence can serve as an early warning that the bullish momentum is waning.
Bollinger Bands:
A 20-period simple moving average (SMA) is used as the basis, with upper and lower bands drawn at 2 standard deviations. These bands help visualize overbought and oversold conditions. For example, a close at or above the upper band suggests the market may be overextended (overbought), while a close at or below the lower band may indicate oversold conditions.
Visual Alerts:
The indicator plots the Bollinger Bands on the chart along with labels marking overbought and oversold conditions. Additionally, it marks potential bearish divergence with a downward triangle, providing a quick visual cue to traders.
Usage Suggestions:
Confluence with Other Signals:
Use the divergence signals and Bollinger Band conditions as filters. For example, even if another indicator suggests a long entry, you might avoid it if the price is overbought or if MACD divergence warns of weakening momentum.
Customization:
All key parameters, such as the MACD lengths, Bollinger Band period, and multiplier, are fully configurable. This flexibility allows you to adjust the indicator to suit different markets or trading styles.
Disclaimer:
This script is provided for educational purposes only. Always perform your own analysis and backtesting before trading with live capital.
DCA Price LevelsThe indicator is used to set price targets in the chart on the basis of waste.
Whenever the price falls from the current DCA price to minus 30 percent, a new price target is set.
There are a total of 10 price targets, so a drop of up to minus 71 percent is covered by the default setting.
The number of price targets can be set individually, up to a maximum of 10, and the percentages can also be changed.
MTF Support & Resistance📌 Multi-Timeframe Support & Resistance (MTF S&R) Indicator
🔎 Overview:
The MTF Support & Resistance Indicator is a powerful tool designed to help traders identify critical price levels where the market is likely to react. This indicator automatically detects support and resistance zones based on a user-defined lookback period and extends these levels dynamically on the chart. Additionally, it provides multi-timeframe (MTF) support and resistance zones, allowing traders to view higher timeframe key levels alongside their current timeframe.

📈 How to Use the Indicator:
Identify Key Price Levels:
The green line represents support, where price may bounce.
The red line represents resistance, where price may reject.
The blue dashed line represents support on a higher timeframe, making it a stronger level.
The orange dashed line represents higher timeframe resistance, helping identify major breakout zones.
Trend Trading:
Look for price action around these levels to confirm breakouts or reversals.
Combine with trend indicators (like moving averages) to validate trade entries.
Range Trading:
If the price is bouncing between support and resistance, consider range trading strategies (buying at support, selling at resistance).
Breakout Trading:
If the price breaks above resistance, it could indicate a bullish trend continuation.
If the price breaks below support, it could signal a bearish trend continuation.

Son Model ICT [TradingFinder] HTF DOL H1 + Sweep M15 + FVG M1🔵 Introduction
The ICT Son Model setup is a precise trading strategy based on market structure and liquidity, implemented across multiple timeframes. This setup first identifies a liquidity level in the 1-hour (1H) timeframe and then confirms a Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the 5-minute (5M) timeframe to validate the trend. After confirmation, the price forms a new swing in the 5-minute timeframe, absorbing liquidity.
Once this level is broken, traders typically drop to the 30-second (30s) timeframe and enter trades based on a Fair Value Gap (FVG). However, since access to the 30-second timeframe is not available to most traders, we take the entry signal directly from the 5-minute timeframe, using the same liquidity zones and confirmed breakouts to execute trades. This approach simplifies execution and makes the strategy accessible to all traders.
This model operates in two setups :
Bullish ICT Son Model and Bearish ICT Son Model. In the bullish setup, liquidity is first accumulated at the lows of the 1-hour timeframe, and after confirming a market structure shift, a long position is initiated. Conversely, in the bearish setup, liquidity is first drawn from higher levels, and upon confirmation of a bearish trend, a short position is executed.
Bullish Setup :
Bearish Setup :
🔵 How to Use
The ICT Son Model setup is designed around liquidity analysis and market structure shifts and can be applied in both bullish and bearish market conditions. The strategy first identifies a liquidity level in the 1-hour (1H) timeframe and then confirms a Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the 5-minute (5M) timeframe.
After this shift, the price forms a new swing, absorbing liquidity. When this level is broken in the 5-minute timeframe, the trader enters based on a Fair Value Gap (FVG). While the ideal entry is in the 30-second (30s) timeframe, due to accessibility constraints, we take entry signals directly from the 5-minute timeframe.
🟣 Bullish Setup
In the Bullish ICT Son Model, the 1-hour timeframe first identifies liquidity at the market lows, where price sweeps this level to absorb liquidity. Then, in the 5-minute timeframe, an MSS confirms the bullish shift.
After confirmation, the price forms a new swing, absorbing liquidity at a higher level. The price then retraces into a Fair Value Gap (FVG) created in the 5-minute timeframe, where the trader enters a long position, placing the stop-loss below the FVG.
🟣 Bearish Setup
In the Bearish ICT Son Model, liquidity at higher market levels is identified in the 1-hour timeframe, where price sweeps these levels to absorb liquidity. Then, in the 5-minute timeframe, an MSS confirms the bearish trend.
After confirmation, the price forms a new swing, absorbing liquidity at a lower level. The price then retraces into a Fair Value Gap (FVG) created in the 5-minute timeframe, where the trader enters a short position, placing the stop-loss above the FVG.
🔵 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 Back : You can set the number of swings that will go back for checking.
FVG Length : Default is 120 Bar.
MSS Length : Default is 80 Bar.
FVG Filter : This refines the number of identified FVG areas based on a specified algorithm to focus on higher quality signals and reduce noise.
Types of FVG filters :
Very Aggressive Filter: Adds a condition where, for an upward FVG, the last candle's highest price must exceed the middle candle's highest price, and for a downward FVG, the last candle's lowest price must be lower than the middle candle's lowest price. This minimally filters out FVGs.
Aggressive Filter: Builds on the Very Aggressive mode by ensuring the middle candle is not too small, filtering out more FVGs.
Defensive Filter: Adds criteria regarding the size and structure of the middle candle, requiring it to have a substantial body and specific polarity conditions, filtering out a significant number of FVGs.
Very Defensive Filter: Further refines filtering by ensuring the first and third candles are not small-bodied doji candles, retaining only the highest quality signals.
🔵 Conclusion
The ICT Son Model setup is a structured and precise method for trade execution based on liquidity analysis and market structure shifts. This strategy first identifies a liquidity level in the 1-hour timeframe and then confirms a trend shift using the 5-minute timeframe.
Trade entries are executed based on Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), which highlight optimal entry points. By applying this model, traders can leverage existing market liquidity to enter high-probability trades. The bullish setup activates when liquidity is swept from market lows and a market structure shift confirms an upward trend, whereas the bearish setup is used when liquidity is drawn from market highs, confirming a downtrend.
This approach enables traders to identify high-probability trade setups with greater precision compared to many other strategies. Additionally, since access to the 30-second timeframe is limited, the strategy remains fully functional in the 5-minute timeframe, making it more practical and accessible for a wider range of traders.
IB & Hammer at SMA(20,50|200)IB & Hammer at SMA (20, 50, 200) Breakout/Breakdown Indicator
Overview:
The IB (Inside Bar) & Hammer at SMA Breakout/Breakdown Indicator is designed to identify breakout and breakdown opportunities using Inside Bars (IB) in combination with Simple Moving Averages (SMA 20, 50, 200) as key trend filters. This indicator is useful for traders looking to catch momentum moves after consolidation phases, confirming the trend direction with moving averages.
Indicator Logic:
Inside Bar (IB) Detection:
An Inside Bar is a candlestick that is completely within the range of the previous candle (i.e., lower high and higher low).
Inside Bars indicate consolidation, suggesting a potential breakout.
SMA Trend Confirmation:
The script uses three moving averages (SMA 20, 50, 200) to determine the trend direction.
Bullish trend: Price is above the 50 & 200 SMAs.
Bearish trend: Price is below the 50 & 200 SMAs.
The 20 SMA is used as a dynamic short-term momentum filter.
Breakout & Breakdown Conditions:
Breakout: When price breaks above the Inside Bar’s high, and the trend is bullish (above key SMAs).
Breakdown: When price breaks below the Inside Bar’s low, and the trend is bearish (below key SMAs).
Alerts can be set to notify traders of potential trade opportunities.
Features:
✅ Identifies Inside Bars (consolidation zones).
✅ Uses SMA (20, 50, 200) for trend confirmation.
✅ Breakout/Breakdown signals based on Inside Bar structure.
✅ Customizable Moving Averages & Alerts.
✅ Visual markers for easy trade identification.
How to Use:
Confirm Trend Direction:
If the price is above SMA 50 & 200, look for breakout trades.
If the price is below SMA 50 & 200, look for breakdown trades.
Watch for Inside Bars:
The script highlights Inside Bars with a specific color (configurable).
These bars indicate a low-volatility phase, preparing for a breakout.
Trade on Breakout/Breakdown:
Breakout: Enter long when the price breaks above the Inside Bar’s high (bullish trend).
Breakdown: Enter short when the price breaks below the Inside Bar’s low (bearish trend).

Volume HighlightBar colouring: this indicator is simple but effective, it repaints higher than normal candles a certain colour (by default gold/yellow) it helps to know what are valuable areas to trade around for longs and shorts.
Changing the volume multiplier manually helps you to screen volume relevant to the timeframe you are trading on.
For example, some charts 1min the best filter/setting would be 12-35 multiplier where others like btc 1-4 hourly, the filter/setting might be 8-12.
The key is having only the highest/most relevant 3-4 volume candles showing as they often represent supports and resistances.
