Volume Order Block Scanner [BOSWaves]Volume Order Block Scanner - Dynamic Detection of High-Volume Supply and Demand Zones
Overview
The Volume Order Block Scanner introduces a refined approach to institutional zone mapping, combining volume-weighted order flow, structural displacement, and ATR-based proportionality to identify regions of aggressive participation from large entities.
Unlike static zone mapping or simplistic body-size filters, this framework dynamically evaluates each candle through a multi-layer model of relative volume, candle structure, and volatility context to isolate genuine order block formations while filtering out market noise.
Each identified zone represents a potential institutional footprint, defined by significant volume surges and efficient body-to-ATR relationships that indicate purposeful positioning. Once mapped, each order block is dynamically adjusted for volatility and tracked throughout its lifecycle - from creation to mitigation to potential invalidation - producing an evolving liquidity map that adapts with price.
This adaptive behavior allows traders to visualize where liquidity was absorbed and where it remains unfilled, revealing the structural foundation of institutional intent across timeframes.
Theoretical Foundation
At its core, the Volume Order Block Scanner is built on the interaction between volume displacement and structural imbalance. Traditional order block systems often rely on fixed candle formations or simple engulfing logic, neglecting the fundamental driver of institutional activity: volume concentration relative to volatility.
This framework redefines that approach. Each candle is filtered through two comparative ratios:
Relative Volume Ratio (RVR) - the candle’s volume compared to its rolling average, confirming genuine transactional surges.
Body-ATR Ratio (BAR) - a measure of displacement efficiency relative to recent volatility, ensuring structural strength.
Only when both conditions align is an order block validated, marking a displacement event significant enough to create a lasting imbalance.
By embedding this logic within a volatility-adjusted environment, the system maintains scalability across asset classes and volatility regimes - equally effective in crypto, forex, or index markets.
How It Works
The Volume Order Block Scanner operates through a structured multi-stage process:
Displacement Detection - Identifies candles whose body and volume exceed dynamic thresholds derived from ATR and rolling volume averages. These represent the origin points of institutional aggression.
Zone Construction - Each qualified candle generates an order block with ATR-proportional dimensions to ensure consistency across instruments and timeframes. The zone includes two regions: Body Zone (the precise initiation point of displacement) and Wick Imbalance (the residual inefficiency representing unfilled liquidity).
Lifecycle Tracking - Each zone is continuously monitored for market interaction. Reactions within a defined window are classified as respected, mitigated, or invalidated, giving traders a data-driven sense of ongoing institutional relevance.
Volume Confirmation Layer - Reinforces signal integrity by ensuring that all detected blocks correspond with meaningful increases in transactional activity.
Temporal Decay Control - Zones that remain untested beyond a set period gradually lose visual and analytical weight, maintaining chart clarity and contextual precision.
Interpretation
The Volume Order Block Scanner visualizes how institutional participants interact with the market through zones of accumulation and distribution.
Bullish order blocks denote demand imbalances where price displaced upward under high volume; bearish order blocks signify supply regions formed by concentrated selling pressure.
Price revisiting these areas often reflects institutional re-entry or liquidity rebalancing, offering actionable insights for both continuation and reversal scenarios.
By continuously monitoring interaction and expiry, the framework enables traders to distinguish between active institutional footprints and historical liquidity artifacts.
Strategy Integration
The Volume Order Block Scanner integrates naturally into advanced structural and order-flow methodologies:
Liquidity Mapping : Identify high-volume regions that are likely to influence future price reactions.
Break-of-Structure Confirmation : Validate BOS and CHOCH signals through aligned order block behavior.
Volume Confluence : Combine with BOSWaves volume or momentum indicators to confirm real institutional intent.
Smart-Money Frameworks : Utilize order block retests as precision entry zones within SMC-based setups.
Trend Continuation : Filter zones in line with higher-timeframe bias to maintain directional integrity.
Technical Implementation Details
Core Engine : Dual-filter mechanism using Relative Volume Ratio (RVR) and Body-ATR Ratio (BAR).
Volatility Framework : ATR-based scaling for cross-asset proportionality.
Zone Composition : Body and wick regions plotted independently for visual clarity of imbalance.
Lifecycle Logic : Real-time monitoring of reaction, mitigation, and invalidation states.
Directional Coloring : Distinct bullish and bearish shading with adjustable transparency.
Computation Efficiency : Lightweight structure suitable for multi-timeframe or multi-asset environments.
Optimal Application Parameters
Timeframe Guidance:
5m - 15m : Reactive intraday zones for short-term liquidity engagement.
1H - 4H : Medium-term structures for swing or intraday trend mapping.
Daily - Weekly : Macro accumulation and distribution footprints.
Suggested Configuration:
Relative Volume Threshold : 1.5× - 2.0× average volume.
Body-ATR Threshold : 0.8× - 1.2× for valid displacement.
Zone Expiry : 5 - 10 bars for intraday use, 15 - 30 for swing/macro contexts.
Parameter optimization should be asset-specific, tuned to volatility conditions and liquidity depth.
Performance Characteristics
High Effectiveness:
Markets exhibiting clear displacement and directional flow.
Environments with consistent volume expansion and liquidity inefficiencies.
Reduced Effectiveness:
Range-bound markets with frequent false impulses.
Low-volume sessions lacking institutional participation.
Integration Guidelines
Confluence Framework : Pair with structure-based BOS or liquidity tools for validation.
Risk Management : Treat active order blocks as contextual areas of interest, not guaranteed reversal points.
Multi-Timeframe Logic : Derive bias from higher-timeframe blocks and execute from refined lower-timeframe structures.
Volume Verification : Confirm each reaction with concurrent volume acceleration to avoid false liquidity cues.

FU Candle Detector (Smart Money Concept) En Anglais🧠 Overall concept: “FU Candle” in Smart Money logic
In the context of Smart Money Concepts (SMC) or ICT (Inner Circle Trader), an FU Candle (also known as a “Fakeout Candle” or “Manipulation Candle”) is a candle that:
Creates an imbalance or a break (often above a swing high or below a swing low),
Attracts liquidity by trapping retail traders (liquidity grab),
Then abruptly reverses direction, revealing the hand of “Smart Money” (large institutions).
It therefore often marks:
The point of manipulation before an impulsive movement (reversal),
An area of interest for entering in the institutional direction (after the liquidity grab).
---
⚙️ How the “FU Candle Detector” script works
The script identifies these candlesticks by observing several typical criteria:
1. Detection of the manipulative candle (FU Candle)
Search for a candlestick that breaks a previous swing (significant high or low),
But closes in the opposite direction, often below/above the broken zone,
Thus indicating a fakeout.
Examples:
Bullish FU Candle: breaks a previous low, but closes bullish.
Bearish FU Candle: breaks a previous high, but closes bearish.
---
2. Visualization on the chart
The script generally displays:
🔴 Red markers for bearish FUs (Fake Breakout upwards),
🟢 Green markers for bullish FUs (Fake Breakout downwards),
🟦 Rectangles of areas of interest (often around the FU Candle Open),
📏 Horizontal lines on areas of imbalance (OB/FVG if integrated).
---
3. Possible additions depending on the version
Depending on the version you have received, the script can also:
Detect Fair Value Gaps (FVG) around FU Candles,
Mark Order Blocks (OB) associated with manipulation,
Add alerts when new FU Candles are detected,
Calculate the distance between the manipulation point and the price return,
Filter according to candle size, volume, or market structure (MSB/CHoCH).
---
🎯 Practical use
FU Candles are often used:
As confirmation of an imminent reversal,
To identify institutional entry zones (hidden Order Block),
To anticipate the direction of the next impulse after the liquidity hunt.
Typical entry example:
> Wait for the formation of an FU Candle + price return within the candle body = entry in the opposite direction to the false breakout.
📈 Recommended combinations
This detector is often combined with:
Structure Break Indicator (CHoCH / BOS)
Liquidity Pool Zones
Fair Value Gap Finder
Order Block Detector
This gives you a complete Smart Money Concept system, capable of mapping:
1. Where liquidity has been taken,
2. Where the price is rebalancing,
3. Where Smart Money is repositioning its orders.

Trendline Breakout Strategy Strategy should place entries & exits so that it can be backtested (use strategy.entry and strategy.exit with explicit stop and limit prices). Include an option for fixed percent position sizing and an option for fixed contract size. Draw the trendline on the chart (with option to hide/show) and add labels that show: bias (Bull/Bear), trendline slope, entry price, SL, TP and the reason (e.g., "Trendline Breakout"). Provide user inputs for: EMA length (default 200), lookback for pivot detection, pivot sensitivity (left/right bars), quantity mode (percent / contracts), risk percent or fixed size, enable/disable backtest prints, and enable alerts. Avoid repainting: use confirmed pivot logic (pivot detection must use completed bars) and only take entry after breakout confirmed on close. Document any limitations (for example, trendline using two highest/highest bars inside lookback is approximate). Add clear comments, helpful variable names, and include example alertcondition lines for entry and exit signals.

VolumeAnlaysis### Volume Analysis (VA) Indicator
**Overview**
The Volume Analysis (VA) indicator is a dynamic overlay tool designed for traders seeking to identify high-volume breakouts, retests, and multi-timeframe volume-driven price cycles. By combining volume spikes with price action and support/resistance boxes, it highlights potential trend continuations, reversals, and cycle shifts. Ideal for intraday and swing trading on stocks, forex, or crypto, it uses a Fibonacci-inspired 1.618 multiplier to detect significant volume surges, then maps them to visual boxes and key levels for actionable insights.
This indicator draws from volume profile concepts but focuses on **breakout confirmation** and **cycle momentum**, helping you spot when "smart money" volume aligns with price extremes. It's particularly useful in volatile markets where volume precedes price moves.
**How It Works**
1. **Volume Break Detection**:
- Identifies a "Volume Break" when the current bar's volume exceeds 1.618x the highest volume from the prior 5 bars. This signals unusual activity, often preceding breakouts.
- A "Volume Retest" triggers exactly 3 bars after a break if volume has been falling steadily over those 3 bars—indicating a pullback for re-accumulation/distribution.
2. **Visual Annotations**:
- **Labels**: Green/red/yellow labels mark Volume Breaks and Retests, positioned above/below the bar based on candle direction for clarity.
- **Demand/Supply Boxes**:
- Blue semi-transparent boxes form around Retest bars, extending rightward to act as dynamic support/resistance.
- Green (bullish) or red (bearish) boxes draw from Volume Breaks, based on the original candle's open/close, highlighting potential zones for continuation.
- Limited to 5 boxes max to avoid chart clutter; older boxes fade as new ones form.
3. **Box Interaction Signals**:
- When price enters a box:
- **Reversal Hints**: Maroon (bearish rejection) or lime (bullish rejection) labels on closes against the trend with opening price momentum.
- **Breakout Arrows**: Up/down arrows on crossovers/crossunders of box tops/bottoms from Retest boxes.
- Scans all active boxes for interactions, prioritizing recent volume events.
4. **Multi-Timeframe Volume Cycles**:
- Aggregates the "Volume Break Max" level (a proxy for key price extremes tied to volume spikes) across timeframes: 1min, 5min, 10min, 30min, and 65min (using `request.security`).
- Computes **MaxVolBreak** (highest extreme) and **MinVolBreak** (lowest extreme) for trend-following levels.
- Tracks **Percent Volume Greater/Less Than Close**: Sums volumes from TFs where price is below/above these levels, creating a momentum ratio.
- **CrossClose**: Plots the prior close where this ratio crosses (gray line), signaling cycle shifts—bullish below MinVolBreak, bearish above MaxVolBreak.
- **Fills**: Red fill above CrossClose/MaxVolBreak (bearish cycle); green below CrossClose/MinVolBreak (bullish cycle).
5. **Plots**:
- Black lines for MaxVolBreak (⏫) and MinVolBreak (⏬).
- Gray 🔄 for CrossClose.
- Colors dynamically adjust (green/red) based on close relative to levels.
**Key Features**
- **Trend vs. Reversal Modes**: Toggle alerts for trend-following breaks (crosses of Max/MinVolBreak) or reversal signals (crosses of CrossClose).
- **Multi-TF Fusion**: Optionally include the chart's native timeframe in Max/Min calculations for finer tuning.
- **Box Management**: Auto-prunes to 5 boxes; focuses on retest/break alignments for "inside bar" logic.
- **Momentum Filters**: Uses rising/falling opens and crossovers for label precision, reducing noise.
- **Customizable**: Simple inputs for alert visibility and timeframe inclusion.
**Settings**
| Input | Default | Description |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| Show Volume Reversal Breaks | False | Enables alerts/labels for CrossClose crosses (cycle reversals). |
| Show Trend Following Breaks | True | Enables alerts for Max/MinVolBreak crosses (trend signals). |
| Use Current Time | False | Includes chart's native TF in multi-TF Max/Min calculations. |
**Alerts**
- **Reversal Alerts** (if enabled): "Volume Reverse Bullish/Bearish Break of " on close crosses of CrossClose.
- **Trend Alerts** (if enabled): "Trend Volume Bullish/Bearish Signal" on close crosses of Max/MinVolBreak; plus notes if prior low/high aligns with levels.
- All alerts include ticker and level value for easy scanning. Use `alert.freq_once_per_bar` to avoid spam.
**Trading Ideas**
- **Bullish Entry**: Green box formation + price holding MinVolBreak + upward arrow on retest box. Target next resistance.
- **Bearish Entry**: Red box + close above MaxVolBreak + red fill activation. Stop below recent low.
- **Cycle Trading**: Watch CrossClose crosses for regime shifts—fade extremes in overextended cycles.
- **Best Timeframes**: 5-30min for intraday; combine with daily for swings. Works best on liquid assets with reliable volume data.
**Limitations & Notes**
- Relies on accurate volume data (e.g., stocks/forex); less effective on low-volume or synthetic instruments.
- Boxes extend rightward but don't auto-delete—monitor for clutter on long histories (max_bars_back=500).
- Some logic (e.g., exact 3-bar retest) is rigid; backtest for your market.
- Open-source under MPL 2.0—fork and tweak as needed!

THAIT Moving Averages Tight within # ATR EMA SMA convergence
THAIT(tight) indicator is a powerful tool for identifying moving average convergence in price action. This indicator plots four user-defined moving averages (EMA or SMA). It highlights moments when the MAs converge within a user specified number of ATRs, adjusted by the 14-period ATR, signaling potential trend shifts or consolidation.
A convergence is flagged when MA1 is the maximum, the spread between MAs is tight, and the price is above MA1, excluding cases where the longest MA (MA4) is the highest. The indicator alerts and visually marks convergence zones with a shaded green background, making it ideal for traders seeking precise entry or exit points.

Tips for Success
Use on 5-minute charts for day trading momentum plays
Only trade high volume stocks ($5-20 range works best)
Wait for full confirmation - don't jump early
Respect the stop loss - it's calculated based on volatility
Scale out at targets - don't hold for home runs
Avoid trading first 15 minutes - let market settle
Best during 10am-11am and 2pm-3pm - peak momentum times
Common Questions
Q: Why didn't I get a signal even though MACD crossed?
A: All conditions must be met - check dashboard for what's missing (likely volume or trend alignment)
Q: Can I use this on any timeframe?
A: Yes, but it's designed for 5-15 minute charts. On daily charts, adjust ATR multipliers higher.
Q: The stop loss seems too tight, can I widen it?
A: Yes, increase "Stop Loss (×ATR)" from 1.5 to 2.0 or 2.5 in settings.
Q: I keep seeing FAKE warnings but price keeps going - what gives?
A: The filter is conservative. You can disable some filters in settings, but expect more false signals.
Q: Can I use this for swing trading?
A: Yes, but use larger timeframes (1H or 4H) and adjust ATR multipliers up (3× for stops, 6-9× for targets).
Volume Surge by MashrabThe "Volume Surge" indicator is like a simple market health checkup. It looks at how much of an asset (like a stock or crypto) is being traded right now and compares it to the recent past. Think of it as a way to quickly see if interest in that asset is suddenly spiking, fading, or staying the same.
The indicator shows this information in an easy-to-read table right on your chart.
How it works:
The indicator keeps track of two main things for you:
Current Volume: The total trading volume over the last "N" days (or whatever time period you choose).
Previous Volume: The total trading volume over the period right before that
Then, it gives you a summary:
The "Ratio" tells you how many times bigger or smaller the current volume is.
The "Percent Change" shows the percentage jump in volume.
How to use it:
This indicator helps you see when something interesting might be happening. Here are a few ways traders use it:
Confirm Breakouts: If a stock breaks above a key price level and the indicator shows a huge volume surge, it’s a stronger signal that the move is real and not a false alarm.
Spot Reversals: If a stock has been trending up but the volume starts to drop off, it could mean the trend is losing steam. A sudden, massive volume surge on a down day might indicate panic selling, which can sometimes happen right before the price turns around.
Check Trend Strength: A healthy trend usually has increasing volume going in the same direction. For example, if a stock is in an uptrend, you want to see lots of volume on the days it goes up.
This indicator isn't a crystal ball, but it's a great tool for understanding the "who" and "how much" behind a price move. It helps you see when a price change is backed by a lot of market activity, which often makes the move more trustworthy.
