IFVG Scanner Charts Algo
The IFVG Scanner (Inversion Fair Value Gap Scanner)is a powerful ICT concept -based multi-symbol scanner that identifies bullish and bearish inversion fair value gaps (IFVGs) across up to 40 assets simultaneously.
This scanner helps traders monitor market structure shifts and liquidity rejections by automatically highlighting when price breaks and returns to an FVG zone—a prime entry condition used by smart money traders.
🧠 What Is an IFVG?
An Inversion Fair Value Gap forms when a Fair Value Gap is broken, and then price returns to it. At that moment, the gap becomes a reversal or continuation zone—often acting as dynamic support/resistance.
The IFVG Scanner is designed to:
Spot real-time price entry into IFVG zones
Differentiate bullish vs bearish setups
Alert you when these zones become actionable
🛠️ How to Use It on TradingView

[TH] Advanced SMC/ICT Strategy (Condark2)### **Indicator Settings (English)**
This script is designed to analyze market structure and identify trading opportunities based on Smart Money Concept (SMC) and Inner Circle Trader (ICT) principles. Users can customize the following settings:
#### **Timeframe Settings**
* **Higher Timeframe (HTF) - For Main Structure:** Sets the higher timeframe used to analyze the main market structure (e.g., the primary trend). The default is 5 minutes.
* **Lower Timeframe (LTF):** This is the current chart timeframe you are on, used for more precise entry timing.
---
#### **Market Structure Settings**
* **Swing Lookback (HTF/LTF):** Defines the number of candles used to identify Swing Highs and Swing Lows on both the HTF and LTF.
* **Break of Structure (BOS) Line Color:** Sets the color for lines indicating the price has broken the previous structure in the direction of the trend.
* **Change of Character (CHoCH) Line Color:** Sets the color for lines indicating a potential change in the market trend.
---
#### **Point of Interest (POI) Settings**
* **Order Block Color (Bullish/Bearish):** Sets the color for "Order Block" zones (areas with anticipated significant buy or sell orders) for both uptrends and downtrends.
* **Show Premium/Discount Zones:** Toggles the display of expensive (Premium) and cheap (Discount) price zones, calculated from the last swing, to aid in deciding whether to look for buy or sell setups.
---
#### **Trade & Risk Management Settings**
* **Entry Type:** This is a key setting that defines your entry strategy. There are four options:
1. **Confirmation Candle:** Waits for a confirmation candle to form within the Order Block before entering (most conservative).
2. **Instant OB Edge Entry (Limit Entry):** Sets a limit order to enter as soon as the price touches the edge of the Order Block.
3. **50% of OB Entry (Aggressive Limit):** Sets a limit order at the midpoint of the Order Block for a better price, but with higher risk.
4. **Confirmation + Candle SL (Aggressive):** Waits for a confirmation candle and then places the Stop Loss right at the wick of that candle. This is the most aggressive entry style.
* **Stop Loss Placement:** Determines where the stop loss is placed, based on the LTF Order Block, the last LTF swing, or the last HTF swing. (This is ignored if using the "Aggressive SL" entry type).
* **Take Profit Mode:** Sets the profit target, which can be an HTF Liquidity level or a fixed Risk/Reward Ratio from 1R to 5R.
* **SL Buffer (multiplied by ATR):** Adds a small buffer to the Stop Loss, calculated using the ATR, to help prevent being stopped out by minor volatility.
* **Number of Trade History to Display:** Sets how many past trades are shown on the performance dashboard.
---
#### **Display Settings**
* **Enable Alerts:** Toggles alerts for new trade signals and when a trade is closed (for either a win or a loss).

OPR Asia-New-York [Elykia]This Pine Script indicator, called "OPR Asia-New-York ", displays time-based boxes corresponding to two specific trading periods known as OPR (Opening Price Range):
🎯 Purpose of the Indicator:
To visualize two key market time windows (morning and afternoon) as extended boxes, helping with technical analysis around opening ranges.
🕒 Two sessions displayed as boxes:
🔹 Morning OPR:
Default: from 09:00 to 09:15 (configurable)
The box extends until 10:30.
It captures the highest and lowest candle within this interval.
🔸 Afternoon OPR:
Default: from 15:30 to 15:45
The box extends until 17:30.
Follows the same logic as the morning session.
⚙️ Dashboard Options:
Enable or disable the morning or afternoon box individually
Select the timezone (e.g., GMT+2)
Customize all colors (morning/afternoon boxes, median line)
Set your own start/end/extension times for each session
📦 Each box includes:
A colored rectangle showing the price range (high/low)
A dotted median line between the high and low
The box and line extend until the end time defined
🧠 Usefulness for Traders:
Identify liquidity zones or consolidation areas
Trade setups like liquidity grabs, breakouts, or fakeouts around the OPR
Align with ICT methods or scalping strategies based on session behavior

ICT Setup 04 [TradingFinder] SFP Sweep Liquidity Fake CHoCH/BOS🔵 Introduction
In smart money and ICT based trading, liquidity is never random. Some of the most meaningful market moves begin with a liquidity sweep where price intentionally hunts a previous swing high or swing low to trigger stop loss orders and absorb volume.
This manipulation is often followed by a sharp reversal from a reaction zone, creating ideal conditions for a high probability entry. This indicator is built to detect exactly that. It identifies a valid swing point and defines a reaction zone where price is likely to react.
For short setups, the zone lies between the swing high and the maximum of the candle’s open or close. For long setups, it’s drawn from the swing low to the minimum of the open or close.
When price returns to this zone and forms a qualified confirmation candle typically a doji or a small bodied candle that closes inside the zone while sweeping the liquidity this is a potential sign of reversal.
The candle must show both the sweep and the inability to hold above or below the key level, signaling a fake breakout or failed move. By combining elements of liquidity hunt, reaction zone rejection, and candle based entry confirmation, this tool highlights sniper entry points used by smart money to trap retail traders and reverse the trend. It helps filter out noise and enhances timing, making it ideal for trading in alignment with institutional order flow.
Long Position :
Short Position :
🔵 How to Use
This indicator is designed to highlight precise moments where price sweeps liquidity and reacts within a high probability reversal zone. By identifying clean swing highs and lows and defining a smart reaction zone around them, it filters out weak fakeouts and focuses only on setups with strong institutional footprints.
The tool works best when combined with market structure analysis and is suitable for both scalping and intraday trading. Below is a breakdown of how to interpret the signals for long and short positions based on the visual setups provided.
🟣 Long Setup
In a long setup, the indicator first detects a valid swing low where liquidity has likely accumulated below. A reaction zone is then drawn between the swing low and the minimum of the open or close of the swing candle.
When price returns to this zone, it must sweep the previous low and form a precise confirmation candle, such as a doji or a small bodied candle, that closes inside the zone. This candle must also reject the lower level, showing failure to continue downward.
As shown in the chart, once the liquidity grab is complete and the confirmation candle forms, a clean long signal is issued, indicating a potential bullish reversal backed by smart money behavior.
🟣 Short Setup
In a short setup, the indicator identifies a swing high where buy-side liquidity is resting. It then constructs a reaction zone between the high and the maximum of the open or close of the swing candle. Price must return to this zone, sweep the swing high, and form a bearish confirmation candle inside the zone.
A classic example is a doji or rejection candle that traps breakout buyers and fails to hold above the previous high. In the provided chart, the price aggressively hunts the liquidity above the swing high, but the close within the reaction zone signals exhaustion, prompting a short signal with high reversal probability.
These setups represent moments where price action, liquidity behavior, and candle structure align to offer strong entries. By focusing on clean sweeps and reactive confirmations, the indicator helps traders stay on the side of smart money and avoid common breakout traps.
🔵 Settings
🟣 Logical settings

Max Swing Back : You can set the number of swings that will go back for checking.
Maximum Distance Between Swing and Signal :The maximum number of candles allowed between the swing point and the potential signal. The default value is 50, ensuring that only recent and relevant price reactions are considered valid.
🟣 Display settings
Displaying or not displaying swings and setting the color of labels and lines.
🟣 Alert Settings
Alert SFP : Enables alerts for Swing Failure Pattern.
Message Frequency : Determines the frequency of alerts. Options include 'All' (every function call), 'Once Per Bar' (first call within the bar), and 'Once Per Bar Close' (final script execution of the real-time bar). Default is 'Once per Bar'.
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : Configures the time zone for alert messages. Default is 'UTC'.
🔵 Conclusion
This indicator is built for traders who rely on liquidity driven setups and smart money principles. By combining swing structure analysis with precision reaction zones and strict entry confirmation, it isolates the exact moments where price sweeps liquidity and fails to continue. These are high value points where institutional activity often reveals itself, and retail traps unfold.
Unlike generic breakout tools, this script focuses on quality over quantity by requiring both a sweep of a swing high or low and a confirmed rejection candle that closes inside a predefined zone. With customizable swing depth, proximity filters, visual highlights, and alert functions, it offers a complete framework for identifying and acting on fake breakouts with confidence. Whether you trade forex, crypto, or indices, this tool enhances your ability to align with true order flow and take entries where liquidity is most likely to shift.
Devils MarkThe Devil’s Mark Indicator identifies bullish or bearish candlesticks with no opposing wick, plotting a horizontal line at the open/low (bullish) or open/high (bearish) price to mark the inefficiency.
This line highlights the level where price is expected to retrace to form the missing wick, serving as a visual cue.
The line is automatically removed from the chart once price crosses it, confirming the inefficiency has been rebalanced.
FVG fill with immediate rebalance [LuciTech]The "FVG fill with immediate rebalance AKA Golden Arrow" indicator is designed to identify Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and detect immediate rebalances to highlight potential trading opportunities. It uses colored boxes to mark FVGs and triangular markers to signal bullish or bearish setups, helping traders pinpoint key price levels where imbalances occur and price reactions are likely.
Key Features
FVG Detection: Spots bullish and bearish Fair Value Gaps based on price action, with customizable width settings.
Golden Arrow Signals: Displays triangular markers when price fills an FVG and immediately rebalances, indicating potential reversal or continuation zones.
Customizable Colors: Bullish FVGs appear in green and bearish FVGs in red by default, with options to tweak colors in the settings.
Time Filter: Allows signals to be restricted to a specific time window, highlighted by a background fill for clarity.
Alert System: Supports TradingView alerts for "Bullish Golden Arrow" and "Bearish Golden Arrow" signals to keep traders updated on setups.
How It Works
FVG Calculation: Analyzes gaps between candles to identify FVGs, with user-defined minimum width options (points, percentages, or ATR-based).
Signal Generation: Triggers a Golden Arrow signal when price fills the FVG and rebalances immediately, based on wick penetration and closing conditions.
Visual Aids:
Bullish FVGs are shown as green boxes, bearish FVGs as red boxes.
Upward triangles mark bullish signals, downward triangles mark bearish signals.
Time-Based Filtering: Optionally limits signals to specific hours, with a background fill showing the active period.

ICT Opening Range Projections (tristanlee85)ICT Opening Range Projections
This indicator visualizes key price levels based on ICT's (Inner Circle Trader) "Opening Range" concept. This 30-minute time interval establishes price levels that the algorithm will refer to throughout the session. The indicator displays these levels, including standard deviation projections, internal subdivisions (quadrants), and the opening price.
🟪 What It Does
The Opening Range is a crucial 30-minute window where market algorithms establish significant price levels. ICT theory suggests this range forms the basis for daily price movement.
This script helps you:
Mark the high, low, and opening price of each session.
Divide the range into quadrants (premium, discount, and midpoint/Consequent Encroachment).
Project potential price targets beyond the range using configurable standard deviation multiples .
🟪 How to Use It
This tool aids in time-based technical analysis rooted in ICT's Opening Range model, helping you observe price interaction with algorithmic levels.
Example uses include:
Identifying early structural boundaries.
Observing price behavior within premium/discount zones.
Visualizing initial displacement from the range to anticipate future moves.
Comparing price reactions at projected standard deviation levels.
Aligning price action with significant times like London or NY Open.
Note: This indicator provides a visual framework; it does not offer trade signals or interpretations.
🟪 Key Information
Time Zone: New York time (ET) is required on your chart.
Sessions: Supports multiple sessions, including NY midnight, NY AM, NY PM, and three custom timeframes.
Time Interval: Supports multi-timeframe up to 15 minutes. Best used on a 1-minute chart for accuracy.
🟪 Session Options
The Opening Range interval is configurable for up to 6 sessions:
Pre-defined ICT Sessions:
NY Midnight: 12:00 AM – 12:30 AM ET
NY AM: 9:30 AM – 10:00 AM ET
NY PM: 1:30 PM – 2:00 PM ET
Custom Sessions:
Three user-defined start/end time pairs.
This example shows a custom session from 03:30 - 04:00:
🟪 Understanding the Levels
The Opening Price is the open of the first 1-minute candle within the chosen session.
At session close, the Opening Range is calculated using its High and Low . An optional swing-based mode uses swing highs/lows for range boundaries.
The range is divided into quadrants by its midpoint ( Consequent Encroachment or CE):
Upper Quadrant: CE to high (premium).
Lower Quadrant: Low to CE (discount).
These subdivisions help visualize internal range dynamics, where price often reacts during algorithmic delivery.
🟪 Working with Ranges
By default, the range is determined by the highest high and lowest low of the 30-minute session:
A range can also be determined by the highest/lowest swing points:
Quadrants outline the premium and discount of a range that price will reference:
Small ranges still follow the same algorithmic logic, but may be deemed insignificant for one's trading. These can be filtered in the settings by specifying a minimum ticks limit. In this example, the range is 42 ticks (10.5 points) but the indicator is configured for 80 ticks (20 points). We can select which levels will plot if the range is below the limit. Here, only the 00:00 opening price is plotted:
You may opt to include the range high/low, quadrants, and projections as well. This will plot a red (configurable) range bracket to indicate it is below the limit while plotting the levels:
🟪 Price Projections
Projections extend beyond the Opening Range using standard deviations, framing the market beyond the initial session and identifying potential targets. You define the standard deviation multiples (e.g., 1.0, 1.5, 2.0).
Both positive and negative extensions are displayed, symmetrically projected from the range's high and low.
The Dynamic Levels option plots only the next projection level once price crosses the previous extreme. For example, only the 0.5 STDEV level plots until price reaches it, then the 1.0 level appears, and so on. This continues up to your defined maximum projections, or indefinitely if standard deviations are set to 0.
This example shows dynamic levels for a total of 6 sessions, only 1 of which meet a configured minimum limit of 50 ticks:
Small ranges followed by significant displacement are impacted the most with the number of levels plotted. You may hide projections when configuring the minimum ticks.
A fixed standard deviation will plot levels in both directions, regardless of the price range. Here, we plot up to 3.0 which hiding projections for small ranges:

SMT - JimmyTrades🔧 SMT – JimmyTrades: Publication Rules and User Guide
📌 What This Script Does
This script detects Smart Money Traps (SMT) Divergences between the instrument on your chart and a comparative symbol (default: ES). It automatically plots both confirmed and unconfirmed bullish and bearish SMT setups across multiple timeframes.
These SMT divergences can help traders:
Identify potential reversal points
Confirm high-probability entries in line with smart money behavior
Enhance bias when confluence aligns with other market structure or liquidity factors
⚙️ Important Settings
Please make sure you correctly configure the following inputs:
Symbol: The comparative asset to check divergence against. Common examples: ES, NQ, SPX.
Session Type: Ensure this matches your chart’s session setting: Extended or Regular.
Adjustment Type: Match this to your chart (None, Dividends, or Splits) under TradingView’s chart settings (bottom-right corner).
Pivot Lookback: Controls the sensitivity of divergence detection (default is 15). Higher values reduce signal frequency.
Timeframes: You can enable up to six timeframes independently for SMT scanning.
🟢 Bullish SMT Signals
Bullish SMTs are identified when price on your chart makes a lower low, but the comparative symbol (e.g., ES) does not, suggesting potential accumulation or trap liquidity.
🔴 Bearish SMT Signals
Bearish SMTs are flagged when your chart makes a higher high, while the comparative symbol fails to do so, hinting at distribution or a stop run setup.
📈 How to Use This Script
Add the indicator to your chart.
Set the correct comparative symbol (e.g., ES for NQ, SPX for SPY, etc.).
Choose your preferred timeframes.
Watch for unconfirmed SMTs (dotted lines) as potential early warnings.
Look for confirmed SMTs (solid lines) once price respects the divergence zone for several bars.
Combine with structure, liquidity sweeps, killzones, and high-impact news for higher confluence.
🧠 Best Practices
Use SMT signals as part of a broader trade plan—not standalone entries.
Focus on SMTs forming after liquidity sweeps or during session opens (London/NY).
Combine with your higher-timeframe bias, breaker blocks, or Pegasus/Unicorn entry models.
⚠️ Limitations
Historical backtest may show perfect SMTs—real-time confirmation requires patience.
SMTs may not play out without proper context—avoid blindly entering based on signal alone.
This script is not financial advice—use at your own discretion and always manage risk.

This indicator automatically draws a price range box that captures the high and low between 10:00 AM and 11:00 AM New York Time (Eastern Time) on "5-minute charts".
### 🔍 What It Does
The "10 AM NY Box" is a simple but powerful visualization tool for day traders and ICT-based strategies. It highlights a key hourly session right after the "New York open" — often a time of increased volatility, liquidity grabs, and the formation of critical intraday highs or lows.
### 📊 Features
Time Window: Customizable start and end hours (defaults: 10 AM to 11 AM NY time).
Box Color: Customizable with transparency.
Chart Restriction: The indicator "only works on 5-minute charts" to ensure accuracy and prevent misalignment.
### ⚙️ Inputs
- 'Start Hour (NY Time)' – Default: 10
- 'End Hour (NY Time)' – Default: 11
- 'Box Color' – Default: Red with transparency
### 📈 How It Works
- During the specified time window, the script tracks the "highest high and lowest low".
- Once the time window ends, it draws a "box" from the starting to the ending time, extending a little beyond to keep it visible.
- Each day's box is created independently, and only once per day.
### 🧠 Use Cases
- Spotting potential liquidity zones
- Identifying breakout or fakeout traps
- Aligning with ICT concepts like "FVG", "BAG", or "Judas Swing"
### ⚠️ Notes & Limitations
- "Only functions on 5-minute timeframes" — this is intentional to maintain session accuracy.
- Does not repaint.
- Time is aligned to **New York (Eastern Time)** regardless of your chart’s timezone.
- One box per day.
Order Blocks [TakingProphets]The Order Blocks indicator automatically finds and highlights institutional Order Blocks (OBs) on your chart — powerful price zones where smart money has previously entered the market with large orders. These areas often act as strong support or resistance, and they’re key tools for traders using ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Smart Money Concepts (SMC) strategies.
📘 What’s an Order Block?
An Order Block is usually the last bullish or bearish candle before a big move or shift in market structure. It represents where banks, funds, or institutions placed large buy or sell orders. Retail traders often miss these zones, but smart money traders use them to anticipate where price may return, stall, or even reverse.
This indicator identifies these zones for you — both bullish and bearish — so you don’t have to manually mark them.
🔍 How the Indicator Works
It waits for a market structure shift — when price breaks out of a recent high or low range.
Then it looks back to find the last opposite candle before that breakout — that candle becomes the OB.
It draws a box from the open of that candle to the high/low (depending on type) and keeps updating the box forward.
You can choose how strict the OBs need to be (Small, Medium, or Large) using ATR-based size filtering.
🔄 Breaker Blocks (Optional Feature)
If price closes through an Order Block in the opposite direction, that OB is considered invalid. But instead of deleting it, the indicator can automatically draw a Breaker Block. Breakers are important because they often become new support or resistance zones — a sign the market has flipped direction and is now respecting that level in a new way.
🎛 Custom Settings
Choose OB detection sensitivity: High (shows smaller moves), Medium, or Low (only the biggest institutional moves).
Customize colors and whether you want to show borders on each block.
Turn Breaker Blocks on or off based on your strategy.
Everything is dynamic and updates live as price evolves.
💡 Why Use It?
Knowing where smart money entered the market gives you a huge edge. Price often returns to these Order Blocks to "rebalance" or fill unfilled orders. With this indicator, you’ll:
Spend less time marking charts.
Spot high-probability entry zones faster.
Avoid common retail traps and trade with the algorithm.
FVG [TakingProphets]🧠 Purpose
This indicator is built for traders applying Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. It detects and manages Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) — price imbalances that often act as future reaction zones. It also highlights New Day Opening Gaps (NDOGs) and New Week Opening Gaps (NWOGs) that frequently play a role in early-session price behavior.
📚 What is a Fair Value Gap?
A Fair Value Gap forms when price moves rapidly, skipping over a portion of the chart between three candles — typically between the high of the first candle and the low of the third. These zones are considered inefficient, meaning institutions may return to them later to:
-Rebalance unfilled orders
-Enter or scale into positions
-Engineer liquidity with minimal slippage
In ICT methodology, FVGs are seen as both entry zones and targets, depending on market structure and context.
⚙️ How It Works
-This script automatically identifies and manages valid FVGs using the following logic:
-Bullish FVGs: When the low of the current candle is above the high from two candles ago
-Bearish FVGs: When the high of the current candle is below the body of two candles ago
-Minimum Gap Filter: Gaps must be larger than 0.05% of price
-Combine Consecutive Gaps (optional): Merges adjacent gaps of the same type
-Consequent Encroachment Line (optional): Plots the midpoint of each gap
-NDOG/NWOG Tracking: Labels gaps created during the 5–6 PM session transition
-Automatic Invalidation: Gaps are removed once price closes beyond their boundary
🎯 Practical Use
-Use unmitigated FVGs as potential entry points or targets
-Monitor NDOG and NWOG for context around daily or weekly opens
-Apply the midpoint (encroachment) line for precise execution decisions
-Let the script handle cleanup — only active, relevant zones remain visible
🎨 Customization
-Control colors for bullish, bearish, and opening gaps
-Toggle FVG borders and midpoint lines
-Enable or disable combining of consecutive gaps
-Fully automated zone management, no manual intervention required
✅ Summary
This tool offers a clear, rules-based approach to identifying price inefficiencies rooted in ICT methodology. Whether used for intraday or swing trading, it helps traders stay focused on valid, active Fair Value Gaps while filtering out noise and maintaining chart clarity.
ICT Macro Zone Boxes w/ Individual H/L Tracking v3.1ICT Macro Zones (Grey Box Version
This indicator dynamically highlights key intraday time-based macro sessions using a clean, minimalistic grey box overlay, helping traders align with institutional trading cycles. Inspired by ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts, it tracks real-time highs and lows for each session and optionally extends the zone box after the session ends — making it a precision tool for intraday setups, order flow analysis, and macro-level liquidity sweeps.
### 🔍 **What It Does**
- Plots **six predefined macro sessions** used in Smart Money Concepts:
- AM Macro (09:50–10:10)
- London Close (10:50–11:10)
- Lunch Macro (11:30–13:30)
- PM Macro (14:50–15:10)
- London SB (03:00–04:00)
- PM SB (15:00–16:00)
- Each zone:
- **Tracks high and low dynamically** throughout the session.
- **Draws a consistent grey shaded box** to visualize price boundaries.
- **Displays a label** at the first bar of the session (optional).
- **Optionally extends** the box to the right after the session closes.
### 🧠 **How It Works**
- Uses Pine Script arrays to define each session’s time window, label, and color.
- Detects session entry using `time()` within a New York timezone context.
- High/Low values are updated per bar inside the session window.
- Once a session ends, the box is optionally closed and fixed in place.
- All visual zones use a standardized grey tone for clarity and consistency across charts.
### 🛠️ **Settings**
- **Shade Zone High→Low:** Enable/disable the grey macro box.
- **Extend Box After Session:** Keep the zone visible after it ends.
- **Show Entry Label:** Display a label at the start of each session.
### 🎯 **Why This Script is Unique**
Unlike basic session markers or colored backgrounds, this tool:
- Focuses on **macro moments of liquidity and reversal**, not just open/close times.
- Uses **per-session logic** to individually track price behavior inside key time windows.
- Supports **real-time high/low tracking and clean zone drawing**, ideal for Smart Money and ICT-style strategies.

CYCLE BY RiotWolftradingDescription of the "CYCLE" Indicator
The "CYCLE" indicator is a custom Pine Script v5 script for TradingView that visualizes cyclic patterns in price action, dividing the trading day into specific sessions and 90-minute quarters (Q1-Q4). It is designed to identify and display market phases (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal) along with key support and resistance levels within those sessions. Additionally, it allows customization of boxes, lines, labels, and colors to suit user preferences.
Main Features
Cycle Phases:
Accumulation (1900-0100): Represents the phase where large operators accumulate positions.
Manipulation (0100-0700): Identifies potential manipulative moves to mislead retail traders.
Distribution (0700-1300): The phase where large operators distribute their positions.
Continuation/Reversal (1300-1900): Indicates whether the price continues the trend or reverses.
90-Minute Quarters (Q1-Q4):
Divides each 6-hour cycle (360 minutes) into four 90-minute quarters (Q1: 00:00-01:30, Q2: 01:30-03:00, Q3: 03:00-04:30, Q4: 04:30-06:00 UTC).
Each quarter is displayed with a colored box (Q1: light purple, Q2: light blue, Q3: light gray, Q4: light pink) and labels (defaulted to black).
Support and Resistance Visualization:
Draws boxes or lines (based on settings) showing the high and low levels of each session.
Optionally displays accumulated volume at the highs and lows within the boxes.
Daily Lines and Last 3 Boxes:
How to Use the Indicator
Step 1: Add the Indicator to TradingView
Open TradingView and select the chart where you want to apply the indicator (e.g., UMG9OOR on a 5-minute timeframe, as shown in the screenshot).
Go to the Pine Editor (at the bottom of the TradingView interface).
Copy and paste the provided code.
Click Compile and then Add to Chart.
Step 2: Configure the Indicator
Click on the indicator name on the chart ("CYCLE") and select Settings (or double-click the name).
Adjust the options based on your needs:
Cycle Phases: Enable/disable phases (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, Continuation/Reversal) and adjust their time slots if needed.
90-Minute Quarters: Enable/disable quarters (Q1-Q4).
Step 3: Interpret the Indicator
Identify Cycle Phases:
Observe the red boxes indicating the phases (Accumulation, Manipulation, etc.).
The high and low levels within each phase are potential support/resistance zones.
If volume is enabled, pay attention to the accumulated volume at highs and lows, as it may indicate the strength of those levels.
Use the 90-Minute Quarters (Q1-Q4):
The colored boxes (Q1-Q4) divide the day into 90-minute segments.
Each quarter shows the price range (high and low) during that period.
Use these boxes to identify price patterns within each quarter, such as breakouts or consolidations.
The labels (Q1, Q2, etc.) help you track time and anticipate potential moves in the next quarter.
Analyze Support and Resistance:
The high and low levels of each phase/quarter act as support and resistance.
Daily lines (if enabled) show key levels from the previous day, useful for planning entries/exits.
The "last 3 boxes below price" (if enabled) highlight potential support levels the price might target.
Avoid Manipulation:
During the Manipulation phase (0100-0700), be cautious of sharp moves or false breakouts.
Use the high/low levels of this phase to identify potential traps (as explained in your first question about manipulation candles).
Step 4: Trading Strategy
Entries and Exits:
Support/Resistance: Use the high/low levels of phases and quarters to set entry or exit points.
For example, if the price bounces off a Q1 support level, consider a buy.
Breakouts: If the price breaks a high/low of a quarter (e.g., Q2), wait for confirmation to enter in the direction of the breakout.
Volume: If accumulated volume is high near a key level, that level may be more significant.
Risk Management:
Place stop-loss orders below lows (for buys) or above highs (for sells) identified by the indicator.
Avoid trading during the Manipulation phase unless you have a specific strategy to handle false breakouts.
Time Context:
Use the quarters (Q1-Q4) to plan your trades based on time. For example, if Q3 is typically volatile in your market, prepare for larger moves between 03:00-04:30 UTC.
Step 5: Adjustments and Testing
Test on Different Timeframes: The indicator is set for a 5-minute timeframe (as in the screenshot), but you can test it on other timeframes (e.g., 1-minute, 15-minute) by adjusting the time slots if needed.
Adjust Colors and Styles: If the default colors are not visible on your chart, change them for better clarity.
---
📌 1. **Accumulation: Strong Institutional Activity**
- During the **accumulation phase, we see **high volume: 82.773K, which suggests strong buying interest**, likely from institutional players.
- This sets the base for the following upward move in price.
---
📌 2. **Manipulation: False Breakout with Lower Volume**
- Later, there's a manipulation phase where price breaks above previous highs, but the volume (71.814K) is **lower than during accumulation**.
- This implies that buyers are not as aggressive as before—no real demandbehind the breakout.
- It’s likely a bull trap, where smart money is selling into the breakout to exit their positions.
---
### 📌 3. Distribution: Weakness and Lack of Demand
- The market enters a distribution phase, and volume drops even further (only 7.914K).
- Price struggles to go higher, and you start seeing rejections at the top.
- This shows that demand is drying up, and smart money is offloading positions**—not accumulating anymore.
---
### 💡 Why Take the Short Here?
- Volume is not increasing with new highs—showing weak demand**.
- The manipulation volume is weaker than the accumulation volume, confirming the breakout was likely false.
- Structure starts to break down (Q levels falling), which confirms weakness.
- This creates a high-probability short setup:
- **Entry:** after confirmation of distribution and structural breakdown.
- **Stop loss:** above the manipulation high.
- **Target:** down toward previous lows or value zones.
---
### ✅ Conclusion
Since the manipulation volume failed to exceed the accumulation volume, the breakout lacked real strength. Combined with decreasing volume in the distribution phase, this indicates fading demand and supply taking control—which justifies entering a short position.
FVG# Fair Value Gap (FVG) Indicator
## Overview
The Fair Value Gap (FVG) indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to identify potential areas of price imbalance in the market. These imbalances, known as "fair value gaps," represent discontinuities in price movement where supply and demand were significantly imbalanced, potentially creating zones that price may return to in the future. This indicator was developed by Michele Amori for TradingView and operates as an overlay on price charts.
## Core Concept
Fair Value Gaps occur when price makes a significant move in one direction, leaving behind an area where no trading occurred. Specifically:
- **Bullish FVG**: Forms when the low of the current candle is higher than the high of the candle two positions back, creating an upward gap in price movement.
- **Bearish FVG**: Forms when the high of the current candle is lower than the low of the candle two positions back, creating a downward gap in price movement.
These gaps represent potential "fair value" areas that price may revisit to establish equilibrium between buyers and sellers.
## Visual Representation
The indicator displays FVGs in the following manner:
1. **Bullish FVGs**:
- Represented by semi-transparent green boxes
- Extend from the high of the candle two positions back to the low of the current candle
- Include a dashed green center line representing the middle point of the gap
2. **Bearish FVGs**:
- Represented by semi-transparent red boxes
- Extend from the low of the candle two positions back to the high of the current candle
- Include a dashed red center line representing the middle point of the gap
All FVG boxes and their center lines are extended to the right of the chart, making them visible until they are filled or invalidated.
## Invalidation Logic
The indicator automatically removes FVGs when they are considered filled or invalidated:
- **Bullish FVGs**: Removed when the closing price falls below the bottom of the FVG box, indicating that the upward gap has been filled.
- **Bearish FVGs**: Removed when the closing price rises above the top of the FVG box, indicating that the downward gap has been filled.
This removal only occurs after a candle is confirmed (fully formed), ensuring that premature invalidation doesn't occur during candle formation.
## Technical Implementation
The indicator uses arrays to store and manage the FVG boxes and their center lines. Key features of the implementation include:
- Creation of new FVGs only after candle confirmation
- Dynamic addition and removal of visual elements
- Transparent coloring (75% transparency) for better chart visibility
- Dashed center lines with less transparency (25%) to highlight the middle point of gaps
First Presented Fair Value Gap [TakingProphets]🧠 Indicator Purpose:
The "First Presented Fair Value Gap" (FPFVG) by Taking Prophets is a precision tool designed for traders utilizing Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts. It automatically detects and highlights the first valid Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms between 9:30 AM and 10:00 AM New York time — one of the most critical windows in ICT-based trading frameworks.
It also plots the Opening Range Equilibrium (the average of the previous day's 4:14 PM close and today's 9:30 AM open) — a key ICT reference point for premium/discount analysis.
🌟 What Makes This Indicator Unique:
This script is highly specialized for early session trading and offers:
Automatic Detection: Finds the first Fair Value Gap after the 9:30 AM NYSE open.
Clear Visualization: Highlights the FVG zone and labels it with optional time stamps.
Equilibrium Line: Plots the Opening Range Equilibrium for instant premium/discount context.
Time-Sensitive Logic: Limits detection to the most volatile early session (9:30 AM - 10:00 AM).
Extension Options: You can extend both the FVG box and Equilibrium line out to 3:45 PM (end of major session liquidity).
⚙️ How the Indicator Works (Detailed):
Pre-Market Setup:
Captures the previous day's 4:14 PM close.
Captures today's 9:30 AM open.
Calculates the Equilibrium (midpoint between the two).
After 9:30 AM (New York Time):
Monitors each 1-minute candle for the creation of a Fair Value Gap:
Bullish FVG: Low of the current candle is above the high two candles ago.
Bearish FVG: High of the current candle is below the low two candles ago.
The first valid gap is boxed and optionally labeled.
Post-Detection Management:
The FVG box and label extend forward in time until 3:45 PM (or the current time, based on settings).
If enabled, the Equilibrium line and label also extend to help with premium/discount analysis.
🎯 How to Use It:
Step 1: Wait for market open (9:30 AM New York time).
Step 2: Watch for the first presented FVG on the 1-minute chart.
Step 3: Use the FPFVG zone to guide entries (retracements, rejections, or breaks).
Step 4: Use the Opening Range Equilibrium to determine premium vs. discount conditions:
Price above Equilibrium = Premium market.
Price below Equilibrium = Discount market.
Best Application:
In combination with ICT Killzones, especially during the London or New York Open.
When framing intraday bias and identifying optimal trade locations based on liquidity theory.
🔎 Underlying Concepts:
Fair Value Gaps: Price imbalances where liquidity is likely inefficient and future rebalancing can occur.
Opening Range Equilibrium: Key ICT price anchor used to separate premium and discount conditions post-open.
Time-Gated Setup: Limits focus to early session price action, aligning with inner circle trader timing models.
🎨 Customization Options:
FVG color, label visibility, and label size.
Opening Range Equilibrium line visibility and label styling.
Extend lines and boxes to 3:45 PM automatically for full session tracking.
✅ Recommended for:
Traders applying Inner Circle Trader (ICT) models.
Intraday scalpers or day traders trading the New York session open.
Traders who want to frame early session bias and liquidity traps effectively.
Flow State Model [TakingProphets]🧠 Indicator Purpose:
The "Flow State Model" by Taking Prophets is a precision-built trading framework based on the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. This script implements and automates the Flow State Model, a highly effective multi-timeframe trading system created and popularized by ITS Johnny.
It is designed to help traders systematically align higher timeframe liquidity draws with lower timeframe confirmation patterns, offering a clear roadmap for catching institutional moves with high confidence.
🌟 What Makes This Indicator Unique:
This is not a simple liquidity indicator or a basic FVG plotter. The Flow State Model executes a full multi-step process:
Higher Timeframe PD Array Detection: Automatically identifies and displays Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) from Daily, Weekly, and Monthly timeframes.
Liquidity Sweep Monitoring: Tracks swing highs and lows to detect Buyside or Sellside Liquidity sweeps into the HTF PD Arrays.
CISD Detection: Waits for a Change in State of Delivery (CISD) by monitoring bullish or bearish displacement after a sweep.
Full Trade Checklist: Visual checklist ensures all critical conditions are met before signaling a completed Flow State setup.
Sensitivity Control: Adapt detection strictness (High, Medium, Low) based on market volatility.
⚙️ How the Indicator Works (Detailed):
Fair Value Gap Mapping:
The indicator constantly scans higher timeframes (4H, Daily, Weekly) for valid bullish or bearish Fair Value Gaps that are large enough (based on ATR multiples) and not weekend gaps.
These FVGs are displayed on the current timeframe with full extension logic and mitigation handling (clearing when invalidated).
Liquidity Sweep Detection:
Swing highs and lows are identified using pivot logic (3-bar pivots). When price sweeps beyond a recent liquidity point into an active FVG, it flags the potential for a Flow State setup.
Change in State of Delivery (CISD) Confirmation:
After a sweep, the script monitors price action for a sequence of bullish or bearish candles followed by displacement (break in delivery).
Only after displacement closes beyond the initiating sequence does a CISD level plot, confirming the market's new delivery state.
Execution Checklist:
An optional table tracks whether critical components are present:
Higher Timeframe PD Array.
Aligned Timeframe Bias.
Liquidity Sweep into FVG.
SMT Divergence (optional manual confirmation).
CISD Confirmation.
Dynamic Management:
Active gaps are extended automatically.
Cleared gaps and mitigated CISDs are deleted to keep charts clean.
Distance-to-FVG prioritization keeps only the nearest active setups visible.
🎯 How to Use It:
Step 1: Identify the bias by locating active higher timeframe FVGs.
Step 2: Wait for a Liquidity Sweep into a PD Array (active FVG).
Step 3: Watch for a CISD event (the Flow State confirmation).
Step 4: Once all conditions are checked off, execute trades based on retracements to CISD levels or continuation after displacement.
Best Timing:
During ICT Killzones: London Open, New York AM.
After daily or weekly liquidity events.
🔎 Underlying Concepts:
Liquidity Theory: Markets seek to engineer liquidity for real institutional entries.
Fair Value Gaps: Imbalances where price is expected to react or rebalance.
Change in State of Delivery (CISD): Confirmation that the market's delivery mechanism has shifted, validating bias continuation.
Flow State Principle: Seamlessly aligning higher timeframe liquidity draws with lower timeframe confirmation to maximize trade probability.
🎨 Customization Options:
Adjust sensitivity (High / Medium / Low) for volatile or calm conditions.
Customize FVG visibility, CISD display, labels, line colors, and sizing.
Set checklist visibility and manual tracking of SMT or aligned bias.
✅ Recommended for:
Traders studying Inner Circle Trader (ICT) models.
Intraday scalpers and swing traders seeking confluence-driven setups.
Traders looking for a structured, checklist-based execution process.
Rejection Blocks [Taking Prophets]🧠 Indicator Purpose:
The "Rejection Blocks" indicator is built for traders using Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts. It identifies key reversal zones where price action shows strong rejection through wick-dominant behavior around major swing points — often signaling institutional activity. Traders can use these rejection blocks to anticipate future support, resistance, and mitigation zones based on ICT principles.
🌟 What Makes This Indicator Unique:
Unlike standard support/resistance indicators, this script detects true rejection points by filtering only candles where the wick is significantly larger than the body, confirming potential order flow shifts according to ICT methodology.
It not only marks these zones but also:
Dynamically extends the blocks into the future.
Deletes blocks that get invalidated (mitigation logic).
Optionally plots a 50% midline within each block to refine entry or exit precision.
⚙️ How the Indicator Works:
Swing Detection: Identifies significant highs and lows based on pivot structures.
Rejection Filtering: Confirms strong rejections with wick-to-body ratio validation.
Block Creation: Highlights bullish or bearish rejection zones with customizable visuals.
Midline Plotting: (Optional) Marks the 50% midpoint of the block for entry targeting.
Mitigation and Cleanup: Blocks are deleted automatically when their structure is invalidated, maintaining a clean and accurate chart view.
🎯 How to Use It:
Identify Reaction Zones: Use rejection blocks as potential areas for price reversals or consolidations.
Plan Trade Entries: Monitor retests of the block boundaries or 50% lines for precision entries.
Manage Risk: If price closes beyond the block, treat it as a potential invalidation or Change in State of Delivery (CISD) event.
Best Contexts:
Near higher timeframe Points of Interest (POIs) such as Order Blocks or Fair Value Gaps.
During ICT Killzones (London Open, New York AM).
🔎 Underlying Concepts:
Wick Rejections: Indicate strong liquidity rejection, aligning with ICT liquidity sweep theories.
Mitigation Behavior: Blocks often serve as revisit zones where price rebalances after an aggressive move.
Adaptive Market Behavior: Rejection Blocks adjust dynamically based on real-time price action according to ICT market structure logic.
🎨 Customization Options:
Bullish and Bearish block colors with adjustable opacity.
Border visibility, border width, and 50% midline display toggles.
Label size customization for optimal chart clarity.
✅ Recommended for:
Traders following Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts.
Scalpers, intraday, and swing traders seeking accurate reversal and mitigation zones.
Traders looking to improve precision around liquidity rejection events.
ICT SMC Liquidity Grabs and OBsICT SMC Liquidity Grabs + Order Blocks + Fibonacci OTE Levels
A High-Probability Entry Engine for Smart Money Concept Traders
This script combines three powerful Smart Money Concepts (SMC) into a single tool: Liquidity Grabs, Order Block Zones, and Fibonacci OTE Levels, allowing traders to identify institutional entry models with clean, rule-based visual signals.
It’s designed to simplify SMC trading by highlighting confluence zones where price is likely to reverse or continue — with clear visual zones, entry arrows, and take profit projections.
🔍 What This Script Does:
Detects Liquidity Grabs
Identifies when price sweeps above/below the highest high or lowest low within a user-defined lookback period and closes back inside.
Plots orange labels on the chart to signal potential liquidity events (LG-H / LG-L).
Plots Order Blocks After Liquidity Grabs
After a liquidity grab, the script looks for displacement candles (strong bullish or bearish moves) and draws highlighted OB zones extending several bars to the right.
These zones represent potential institutional footprints for price reversals.
Draws Fibonacci OTE Levels (Optimal Trade Entry)
Uses recent swing high and low pivots to automatically calculate OTE zones (default: 62% and 75% retracement levels).
Draws these retracement zones for both bullish and bearish setups.
Marks Valid OTE Entry Zones
Buy/Sell zones only trigger when:
A liquidity grab occurs,
Price enters the OTE zone,
And a strong confirming candle is present.
Plots green/red arrows for valid buy/sell OTE entries.
Auto-Draws Take Profit Zones
TP1 = Previous swing high/low
TP2 = Risk-based R-multiplied extension (e.g., 1.5R — customizable)
Alerts
Triggers alerts when valid buy or sell OTE setups are detected.
⚙️ Customization Features:
Toggle each feature: Liquidity Grabs, Order Blocks, Fibonacci OTE levels
Set Fibonacci retracement percentages (e.g., 0.62 / 0.75)
Adjust lookback window for liquidity detection
Customize the take-profit multiplier (R-based)
Full control over visuals: colors, labels, and lines
💡 How to Use:
Use this script to scan for high-confluence trade setups based on Smart Money principles.
Combine with session timing (e.g., New York open), major swing structure, or Kill Zone windows for maximum edge.
Look for arrows inside OB zones or OTE levels following liquidity sweeps for cleaner entries.
