ORB Algo | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new ORB Algo indicator! ORB stands for "Opening Range Breakout" which is a common trading strategy. The indicator can analyze the market trend in the current session and give "Buy / Sell", "Take Profit" and "Stop Loss" signals. For more information about the analyzing process of the indicator, you can read "How Does It Work ?" section of the description.
Features of the new ORB Algo indicator :
Buy & Sell Signals
Up To 3 Take Profit Signals
Stop-Loss Signals
Alerts for Buy / Sell, Take-Profit and Stop-Loss
Customizable Algoritm
Session Dashboard
Backtesting Dashboard
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
This indicator works best in 1-minute timeframe. The idea is that the trend of the current session can be forecasted by analyzing the market for a while after the session starts. However, each market has it's own dynamics and the algorithm will need fine-tuning to get the best performance possible. So, we've implemented a "Backtesting Dashboard" that shows the past performance of the algorithm in the current ticker with your current settings. Always keep in mind that past performance does not guarantee future results.
Here are the steps of the algorithm explained briefly :
1. The algorithm follows and analyzes the first 30 minutes (can be adjusted) of the session.
2. Then, algorithm checks for breakouts of the opening range's high or low.
3. If a breakout happens in a bullish or a bearish direction, the algorithm will now check for retests of the breakout. Depending on the sensitivity setting, there must be 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 failed retests for the breakout to be considered as reliable.
4. If the breakout is reliable, the algorithm will give an entry signal.
5. After the position entry, algorithm will now wait for Take-Profit or Stop-Loss zones and signal if any of them occur.
If you wonder how does the indicator find Take-Profit & Stop-Loss zones, you can check the "Settings" section of the description.
🚩UNIQUENESS
While there are indicators that show the opening range of the session, they come short with features like indicating breakouts, entries, and Take-Profit & Stop-Loss zones. We are also aware of that different stock markets have different dynamics, and tuning the algorithm for different markets is really important for better results, so we decided to make the algorithm fully customizable. Besides all that, our indicator contains a detailed backtesting dashboard, so you can see past performance of the algorithm in the current ticker. While past performance does not yield any guarantee for future results, we believe that a backtesting dashboard is necessary for tuning the algorithm. Another strength of this indicator is that there are multiple options for detection of Take-Profit and Stop-Loss zones, which the trader can select one of their liking.
⚙️SETTINGS
Keep in mind that best chart timeframe for this indicator to work is the 1-minute timeframe.
TP = Take-Profit
SL = Stop-Loss
EMA = Exponential Moving Average
OR = Opening Range
ATR = Average True Range
1. Algorithm
ORB Timeframe -> This setting determines the timeframe that the algorithm will analyze the market after a new session begins before giving any signals. It's important to experiment with this setting and find the best option that suits the current ticker for the best performance. More volatile stocks will often require this setting to be larger, while more stabilized stocks may have this setting shorter.
Sensitivity -> This setting determines how much failed retests are needed to take a position entry. Higher senstivity means that less retests are needed to consider the breakout as reliable. If you think that the current ticker makes strong movements in a bullish & bearish direction after a breakout, you should set this setting higher. If you think the opposite, meaning that the ticker does not decide the trend right after a breakout, this setting show be lower.
(High = 0 Retests, Medium = 1 Retest, Low = 2 Retests, Lowest = 3 Retests)
Breakout Condition -> The condition for the algorithm to detect breakouts.
Close = Bar needs to close higher than the OR High Line in a bullish breakout, or lower than the OR Low Line in a bearish breakout. EMA = The EMA of the bar must be higher / lower than OR Lines instead of the close price.
TP Method -> The method for the algorithm to use when determining TP zones.
Dynamic = This TP method essentially tries to find the bar that price starts declining the current trend and going to the other direction, and puts a TP zone there. To achieve this, it uses an EMA line, and when the close price of a bar crosses the EMA line, It's a TP spot.
ATR = In this TP method, instead of a dynamic approach the TP zones are pre-determined using the ATR of the entry bar. This option is generally for traders who just want to know their TP spots beforehand while trading. Selecting this option will also show TP zones at the ORB Dashboard.
"Dynamic" option generally performs better, while the "ATR" method is safer to use.
EMA Length -> This setting determines the length of the EMA line used in "Dynamic TP method" and "EMA Breakout Condition". This is completely up to the trader's choice, though the default option should generally perform well. You might want to experiment with this setting and find the optimal length for the current ticker.
Stop-Loss -> Algorithm will place the Stop-Loss zone using setting.
Safer = The SL zone will be placed closer to the OR High for a bullish entry, and closer to the OR Low for a bearish entry.
Balanced = The SL zone will be placed in the center of OR High & OR Low
Risky = The SL zone will be placed closer to the OR Low for a bullish entry, and closer to the OR High for a bearish entry.
Adaptive SL -> This option only takes effect if the first TP zone is hit.
Enabled = After the 1st TP zone is hit, the SL zone will be moved to the entry price, essentially making the position risk-free.
Disabled = The SL zone will never change.
2. ORB Dashboard
ORB Dashboard shows the information about the current session.
3. ORB Backtesting
ORB Backtesting Dashboard allows you to see past performance of the algorithm in the current ticker with current settings.
Total amount of days that can be backtested depends on your TV subscription.
Backtesting Exit Ratios -> You can select how much of percent your entry will be closed at any TP zone while backtesting. For example, %90, %5, %5 means that %90 of the position will be closed at the first TP zone, %5 of it will be closed at the 2nd TP zone, and %5 of it will be closed at the last TP zone.

Order Blocks | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Volumized Order Blocks indicator! This new indicator can render order blocks with their volumetric information. It's highly customizable with detection, invalidation and style settings.
Features of the new Volumized Order Blocks indicator :
Render Bullish & Bearish Order Blocks
Enable / Disable Volumetric Information
Enable / Disable Historic Zones
Visual Customizability
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Order blocks occur when there is a high amount of market orders exist on a price range. It is possible to find order blocks using specific formations on the chart.
The high & low volume of order blocks should be taken into consideration while determining their strengths. The determination of the high & low volume of order blocks are similar to FVGs, in a bullish order block, the high volume is the last 2 bars' total volume, while the low volume is the oldest bar's volume. In a bearish order block scenario, the low volume becomes the last 2 bars' total volume.
🚩UNIQUENESS
The ability to render the total volume of Order Blocks as well as bullish / bearish volume ratio is what sets this Order Block indicator apart from others. Also the ability to combine overlapping Order Block zones will result in cleaner charts for traders.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Volumetric Info -> The volumetric information of the Order Blocks will be rendered if activated.
Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for Order Block Invalidation.
Swing Length -> Swing length is used when finding order block formations. Smaller values will result in finding smaller order blocks.
Breaker Blocks | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Volumized Breaker Blocks indicator! This new indicator can render breaker blocks with their volumetric information. It's highly customizable with detection, invalidation and style settings.
Features of the new Volumized Breaker Block indicator :
Render Bullish & Bearish Breaker Blocks
Enable / Disable Volumetric Information
Enable / Disable Historic Zones
Visual Customizability
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Breaker blocks form when an order block fails, or "breaks". It is often associated with market going in the opposite direction of the broken order block, and they can be spotted by following order blocks and finding the point they get broken, ie. price goes below a bullish order block.
The volume of a breaker block is simply the total volume of the bar that the original order block is broken.
🚩UNIQUENESS
This indicator can not only detect breaker blocks, but it can also detect them with their volumetric information. Volumetric information can be crucial when considering an breaker block's strength, which can be a crucial form of confluence in certain trading strategies.

Volumized Order & Breaker Blocks
Identification of Market Structures
Equal Highs & Lows
Buyside & Sellside Liquidity
Premium & Discount Zones
MTF Highs & Lows (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Pre-Market)
Customizable Settings
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
We believe that the analytical elements that are within this indicator work best when they co-exist with each other on the chart. Trading often requires taking multiple elements into consideration for better accuracy on market analysis. Thus, we combined some of the useful strategies in one indicator for ease of use.
1. Volumized Fair Value Gaps
Fair value gaps often occur when there is an imbalance in the market, and can be spotted with a specific formation on the chart.
The volume when the FVG occurs plays an important role when determining the strength of it, so we've placed two bars on the FVG zone, indicating the high & low volumes of the FVG. The high volume is the total volume of the last two bars on a bullish FVG, while the low volume is - of the FVG. For a bearish FVG, the total volume of the last two bars is the low volume. The indicator can also detect FVGs that exist in other timeframes than the current chart.
2. Volumized Order Blocks
Order blocks occur when there is a high amount of market orders exist on a price range. It is possible to find order blocks using specific formations on the chart.
The high & low volume of order blocks should be taken into consideration while determining their strengths. The determination of the high & low volume of order blocks are similar to FVGs, in a bullish order block, the high volume is the last 2 bars' total volume, while the low volume is the oldest bar's volume. In a bearish order block scenerio, the low volume becomes the last 2 bars' total volume.
3. Volumized Breaker Blocks
Breaker blocks form when an order block fails, or "breaks". It is often associated with market going in the opposite direction of the broken order block, and they can be spotted by following order blocks and finding the point they get broken, ie. price goes below a bullish order block.
The volume of a breaker block is simply the total volume of the bar that the original order block is broken. Often the higher the breaking bar's volume, the stronger the breaker block is.
4. Market Structures
Sometimes specific market structures form and break as the market fills buy & sell orders. Formed Change of Character (CHoCH) and Break of Structure (BOS) often mean that market will change direction, and they can be spotted by inspecting low & high pivot points of the chart.
5. Equal Highs & Lows
Equal Highs & Lows occur when there is a significant amount of difference between a candle's close price and it's high / low value, and it happens again in a specific range. EQH and EQL usually mean there is a resistance that blocks the price from going further up / down.
6. Buyside & Sellside Liquidity
Buyside & Sellside Liquidity zones are where most traders place their take-profits and stop-losses in their long / short positions. They are spotted by using high & low pivot points on the chart.
7. Premium & Discount Zones
The premium zone is a zone that is over the fair value of the asset's price, and the discount zone is the opposite. They are formed by the latest high & low pivot points.
8. MTF Highs / Lows
MTF Highs / Lows are actually pretty self-explanatory, you can enable / disable Daily, Weekly, Monthly & Pre-Market Highs and Lows.
🚩UNIQUENESS
Our new indicator offers a comprehensive toolkit for traders, combining multiple analytical elements with customizable settings to aid in decision-making across different market conditions and timeframes. The volumetric information of both FVGs and Order & Breaker Blocks will be present in your chart to serve you greater detail about them. The indicator also efficiently identifies market structures, liquidity zones and premium & discount zones to give you an insight about the current state of the market. And finally with the use of multiple timeframes , you can easily take a look at the bigger picture. We recommend reading the "How Does It Work" section of the descripton to get a better understanding about how this indicator is unique to others.

Bollinger Bands (Nadaraya Smoothed) | Flux ChartsTicker: AMEX:SPY , Timeframe: 1m, Indicator settings: default
General Purpose
This script is an upgrade to the classic Bollinger Bands. The idea behind Bollinger bands is the detection of price movements outside of a stock's typical fluctuations. Bollinger Bands use a moving average over period n plus/minus the standard deviation over period n times a multiplier. When price closes above or below either band this can be considered an abnormal movement. This script allows for the classic Bollinger Band interpretation while de-noising or "smoothing" the bands.
Efficacy
Ticker: AMEX:SPY , Timeframe: 1m, Indicator settings: Standard Dev: 2; Level 1 : off; Level 2: off; labels: off
Upper Band Key:
Blue: Bollinger No smoothing
Orange: Bollinger SMA smoothing period of 10
Purple: Bollinger EMA smoothing period of 10
Red: Nadaraya Smoothed Bollinger bandwidth of 6
Here we chose periods so that each would have a similar offset from the original Bollinger's. Notice that the Red Band has a much smoother result while on average having a similar fit to the other smoothing techniques. Increasing the EMA's or SMA's period would result in them being smoother however the offset would increase making them less accurate to the original data.
Ticker: AMEX:SPY , Timeframe: 1m, Indicator settings: Standard Dev: 2; Level 1: off; Level 2: off; labels: off
Upper Band Key:
Blue: Bollinger No smoothing
Orange: Bollinger SMA smoothing period of 20
Purple: Bollinger EMA smoothing period of 20
Red: Nadaraya Smoothed Bollinger bandwidth of 6
This makes the Nadaraya estimator a particularly efficacious technique in this use case as it achieves a superior smoothness to fit ratio.
How to Use
This indicator is not intended to be used on its own. Its use case is to identify outlier movements and periods of consolidation. The Smoothing Factor when lowered results in a more reactive but noisy graph. This setting is also known as the "bandwidth" ; it essentially raises the amplitude of the kernel function causing a greater weighting to recent data similar to lowering the period of a SMA or EMA. The repaint smoothing simply draws on the Bollinger's each chart update. Typically repaint would be used for processing and displaying discrete data however currently it's simply another way to display the Bollinger Bands.
What makes this script unique.
Since Bollinger bands use standard deviation they have excess noise. By noise we mean minute fluctuations which most traders will not find useful in their strategies. The Nadaraya-Watson estimator, as used, is essentially a weighted average akin to an ema. A gaussian kernel is placed at the candlestick of interest. That candlestick's value will have the highest weight. From that point the other candlesticks' values effect on the average will decrease with the slope of the kernel function. This creates a localized mean of the Bollinger Bands allowing for reduced noise with minimal distortion of the original Bollinger data.
Flux Charts MTF Supply and Demand Zones (Premium)Indicator Overview
The Multi-Timeframe Supply & Demand Zones indicator by Flux Charts displays supply and demand zones on multiple timeframes with two different zone detection methods. These zones are commonly known as areas where there are lots of buyers/sellers present in the market.
Adaptive Detection Method
AMEX:SPY 5m timeframe, October 8 2023
Indicator Settings: (Timeframe: Chart & 15m, Method: Adaptive, Zone Multiplier: 1)
Many times supply and demand scripts try and precisely define conditions that qualify for supply and demand zones. People, however, when locating supply and demand zones manually generally do not take a quantitative approach, rather looking for qualities in price action that have generalized qualities and trends. The adaptive algorithm uniqueness comes from adapting the human approach to work computationally. It generalizes the qualities of supply and demand zones and locates areas in the chart with an acceptable similarity. Specifically, it looks for consolidated areas within the chart that are preceded by a rise or fall in price. The rise or fall length has to be a certain ratio to the consolidation length. If the criteria are met it will draw the zone, if a zone already exists at that price level it will ignore it or merge them if they are different timeframes. This results in a much more consistent ability to identify areas of supply and demand.
Basic Detection Method
The basic detection method looks for areas where price made drastic movements within a small period of time, which could indicate a high level of buyers/sellers at the spot. Thus, these zones are formed and can be used as areas of trading where money is going in/out of the markets.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) S&D
Flux Charts supply and demand script utilizes MTF. This allows for displaying zones from different timeframes on one chart. Utilizing higher timeframes is a common practice in trading, and it can be easy to forget about key levels & zones on higher timeframes which could cause reversals/bounces.
Here is an example of a 15 minute supply zone formed on the NASDAQ, and with this indicator, you can also see this same 15 minute supply zone while being on a 5 minute candlestick chart, since you have the 15 minute zones enabled in the settings. This indicator offers supply & demand zones on multiple timeframes including the 5 minute, 15 minute, 30 minute, 1 hour, and 4 hour.
Settings
Method:
Choose between the Supply & Demand zones detection (Basic / Adaptive)
Zone Retests:
Choose how retests should be considered. You can choose between a high/low candle wick entering a zone, or a candle closing inside of a zone to be considered a valid retest.
Zone Invalidation:
Choose how zones are invalidated. You can choose between a high/low candle wick exiting a zone, or a candle closing outside of a zone to be considered a zone invalidation.
Zone multiplier:
Adjust zone size (1 is recommended)
Timeframe:
Choose the timeframes you would like Supply & Demand zones to be displayed from.
Zone Appearance:

Notifications:
Choose what alerts you would like to receive. You can choose to have new zone formations, zone breaks, and zone retests.
VWAP Divergence | Flux ChartsThe VWAP Divergence indicator aims to find divergences between price action and the VWAP indicator. It uses filters to filter out many of the false divergences and alert high quality, accurate signals.
Red dots above the candle represent bearish divergences, while green dots below the candle represent bullish divergences.
The main filter for divergences focuses on ATR and the price movement in the past candles up to the lookback period. Divergences are determined when a price movement over the lookback period is sharp enough to be greater/less than the ATR multiplier multiplied by the ATR.
Settings
Under "Divergence Settings", both the lookback period and ATR multiplier can be adjusted.
Due to the nature of the calculations, the ATR multiplier and the lookback period should be set lower on higher time frames. As price movements become more averaged, for example on the 15 minute chart, sharp price movements happen less frequently and are often contained in fewer candles as they happen on lower time frames. Less volatile stocks such as KO, CL, or BAC should also use lower ATR multipliers and lower lookback periods.
Under "Visual Settings", you can change the color of the VWAP line, show alternating VWAP colors, adjust divergence signal size, and show the VWAP line.

+ more
What it does
The indicator uses an Adjusted Weighted majority algorithm to generate "buy" and "sell" signals. The algorithm takes into account several market metrics and weights them based on their recent performance. How far back the algorithm checks is based on the “Time Weighting” setting. This allows users to choose between having more data points or having more recency bias within the algorithm, but less data to decipher.
How it works and what differentiates it
There are many popular strategies in the market all of which go in and out of successful periods. The SFX algorithm effectively uses popular indicators or "experts" and weights them using a period decided through the "Time Weighting" Setting. The "experts" include popular indicators that cover Momenutmn, ATR trends, and EMA trends. Adjusted Weighted Majority typically weighs only through binary events however the SFX also uses a dynamic system to punish larger losses. The total weighting is then used to confirm a signal is agreeing with the most successful "experts" or indicators within the time period. This effectively will filter poor signals during periods of underperformance compared to other indicators and the converse during performant periods.
This weighting algorithm was inspired by the Princeton University lecture "Multiplicative Weight Algorithm" by Sanjeev Arora!
Usage
CME_MINI:ES1! 3 minute timeframe, July 7 2023.
Indicator Settings: (Sensitivity: 70, Signal Strength: 40, Time Weighting: Recent Trends)
The star-rated signals show the strength of the signals based on our weighting system
The colored candles (green & red) simplify the market into basic uptrends/downtrends
The volatility bands show areas of potential reversals
The volatility bands also show potential breakouts (Tight bands = consolidation, which could lead to an impulsive move)
The take profit signals suggest areas where profits should be taken in a trade
Settings and their Usage
Algorithm Settings Explained
Sensitivity determines how frequently signals appear. A higher sensitivity would lead to more frequent signals (Buy & Sell) appearing on your chart
Signal Strength helps filter out low-rated signals based on our Stochastic Weighting Algorithm. A higher signal strength will lead to fewer signals on your chart. A higher-rated signal doesn't necessarily make it a better signal than a lower-rated signal.
Time Weighting allows you to choose how much historic data you want the indicator to use when interpreting data for the signals. There are three options to choose from including:
- Recent Trends
- Mixed Trends
- Longterm Trends
Using the "Recent Trends" option will only use recent market data when looking at the market metrics our algorithm uses for generating "Buy" and "Sell" signals. Thus, there will be a recency bias which means the metrics the algorithm is weighing more heavily have recently performed well.
Using the "Longterm Trends" option will use more historic market data when looking at the market metrics our algorithm uses. This will give more data points for the algorithm to use, but it won't count for recent performances, but rather an overall performance in the past. Thus, if one metric has been doing poorly recently, it will still receive the same weight, even though it was performing well at the start of our lookback period for data.
Using the "Mixed Trends" option will give you a choice that is in between these two options. This will give you a good balance between having enough data points for market metrics, while also sustaining a good bit of market recency bias.
Wick-to-Body Ratio Trend Forecast | Flux ChartsThe Wick-to-Body Ratio Trend Forecast Indicator aims to forecast potential movements following the last closed candle using the wick-to-body ratio. The script identifies those candles within the loopback period with a ratio matching that of the last closed candle and provides an analysis of their trends.
➡️ USAGE
Wick-to-body ratios can be used in many strategies. The most common use in stock trading is to discern bullish or bearish sentiment. This indicator extends candle ratios, revealing previous patterns that follow a candle with a similar ratio. The most basic use of this indicator is the single forecast line.
➡️ FORECASTING SYSTEM
This line displays a compilation of the averages of all the previous trends resulting from those historical candles with a matching ratio. It shows the average movements of the trends as well as the 'strength' of the trend. The 'strength' of the trend is a gradient that is blue when the trend deviates more from the average and red when it deviates less.
Chart: AMEX:SPY 30 min; Indicator Settings: Loopback 700, Previous Trends ON
The color-coded deviation is visible in this image of the indicator with the default settings (except for Forecast Lines > Previous Trends ), and the trend line grows bluer as the past patterns deviate more.
➡️ ADAPTIVE ACCEPTABLE RANGE
The algorithm looks back at every candle within the loopback period to find candles that match the last closed candle. The algorithm adaptively changes the acceptable range to which a candle can differ from the ratio of the last closed candle. The algorithm will never have more than 15 historical points used, as it will lower its sensitivity before it reaches that point.
Chart: BITSTAMP:BTCUSD 5 min; Indicator Settings: Loopback 700
Here is the BTC chart on 7/6/23 with default settings except for the loopback period at 700.
Chart: BITSTAMP:BTCUSD 5 min; Indicator Settings: Loopback 200
Here is the exact same chart with a loopback period of 200. While the first ratio for both is the same, a new ratio is revealed for the chart with a loopback of only 200 because the adaptive range is adjusted in the algorithm to find an acceptable number of reference points. Note the table in the top right however, while the algorithm adapts the acceptable range between the current ratio and historical ones to find reference points, there is a threshold at which candles will be considered too inaccurate to be considered. This prevents meaningless associations between candles due to a particularly rare ratio. This threshold can be adjusted in the settings through "Default Accuracy".
