TJR SEEK AND DESTROYTJR SEEK AND DESTROY – Intraday ICT Trading Tool
Built for day traders, TJR SEEK AND DESTROY combines Smart Money concepts like order blocks, fair value gaps, and liquidity sweeps with structure breaks and daily bias to pinpoint high-probability trades during US market hours (9:30–16:00). Ideal for scalping or intraday strategies on stocks, futures, or forex.
What Makes It Unique?
Unlike standalone ICT indicators, this script integrates:
Order Blocks with volume and range filters for precise support/resistance zones.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) to spot pre-market price imbalances.
Break of Structure (BOS) and Liquidity Sweeps for trend and reversal signals.
A 1H MA-based Bias to align trades with the day’s direction.
BUY/SELL Labels triggered only when bias, BOS, and sweeps align, reducing noise.
How Does It Work?
Order Blocks: Marks zones with high volume (>1.5x 20-period SMA) and low range (<0.5x ATR20) as teal boxes—potential reversal points.
Fair Value Gap: Compares the prior day’s close to the current open (pre- or post-9:30), shown as a purple line and label (e.g., "FVG: 0.005").
Pivot Point: Calculates (prevHigh + prevLow + prevClose) / 3 from the prior day, plotted as an orange line for equilibrium.
Break of Structure: Detects crossovers of 5-bar highs/lows (gray lines), marked with red triangles.
Liquidity Sweeps: Tracks breaches of the prior day’s high/low (yellow lines), marked with yellow triangles.
Daily Bias: Uses 1H close vs. 20-period MA (blue line) for bullish (green background), bearish (red), or neutral (gray) context.
Signals: BUY (green label) when bias is bullish, price breaks up, and sweeps the prior high; SELL (red label) when bias is bearish, price breaks down, and sweeps the prior low.
How to Use It
Setup: Apply to 1M–15M charts for US session trading (9:30–16:00 EST).
Trading:
Wait for a BUY label after a yellow sweep triangle above the prior day’s high in a green (bullish) background.
Wait for a SELL label after a yellow sweep triangle below the prior day’s low in a red (bearish) background.
Use order blocks (teal boxes) as support/resistance for stop-loss or take-profit.
Markets: Best for SPY, ES futures, or forex pairs with US session volatility.
Underlying Concepts
Order Blocks: High-volume, low-range bars suggest institutional activity.
FVG: Gaps between close and open indicate imbalance to be filled.
BOS & Sweeps: Price breaking key levels signals momentum or stop-hunting.
Bias: 1H MA filters trades by broader trend.
Chart Setup
Displays order blocks (teal boxes), pivot (orange), open (purple), bias (colored background), BOS/sweeps (triangles), and signals (labels). Keep other indicators off for clarity.

Advanced Market Structure & Order Blocks (fadi)Advanced Market Structure & Order Blocks indicator provides a new approach to understanding price action using ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts related to candle blocks to analyze the market behavior and eliminate much of the noise created by the price action.
This indicator is not intended to provide trade signals, it is designed to provide the traders with to support their trading strategies and add clarity where possible.
There are currently three main elements to this indicator:
Market Structure
Order Blocks
Liquidity Voids
Market Structure
In trading, market structure is often identified by observing higher highs and higher lows. An uptrend is characterized by a series of higher highs, where each peak surpasses the previous one, and higher lows, where each trough is higher than the preceding one. Conversely, a downtrend is marked by lower highs and lower lows.
Other indicators usually determine these peaks by calculating the highest or lowest levels within a predefined number of candles. For example, identifying the highest price level within the last 15 candles and marking it as a higher high or a lower high. While this approach offers some structure to price action, it can be arbitrary and random due to price fluctuations and the lack of proper structure analysis beyond finding the highest peaks and valleys within candle ranges.
In his 2022 mentorship, episode 12, ICT introduced an alternative approach focusing on three-candle pivots called Short Term High and Low (STH/STL), which are then used to calculate the Intermediate Term High and Low (ITH/ITL), and in turn, the Long Term High and Low (LTH/LTL). ICT’s approach provides better structure than the traditional method mentioned above. However, it can be confusing and difficult to track. There are great indicators that track and label ICT’s levels, but traders still find it challenging to follow and understand.
The Advanced Market Structure indicator takes a unique approach by analyzing candle formations, using ICT concepts, to identify possible turning points that mimic a real trader’s analysis of price action as closely as possible. However, it should be expected that Market Makers may use market manipulation to induce traders to make failed trades, and no tooling can eliminate these situations.
Advanced Market Structure tracks true Peaks and Valleys as they form, confirms them, and marks the chart with corresponding labels using traditional labeling methods (HH/HL/LH/LL), as such labeling makes it easier for traders to follow and understand. The indicator also draws levels to help identify possible liquidity areas and trade targets.
The indicator uses different calculation methods for the different type of market structure length, however all calculations are based on the same ICT candle blocks concepts.
Market Structure Settings
Other than the display settings, there are four (4) settings, mainly under the Level Settings section.
Allow Nested Candles
This option is only available on the Short Market Structure due to the methods used in calculating highs and lows. When used, the indicator will attempt to detect smaller fluctuations in price by tracking smaller candle moves, if any.
Level Settings
Level Settings allows the trader to decide two main calculations:
1. A new pivot point will form when a candle’s is crossed by the following candle’s
2. For a liquidity sweep and marking a level as mitigated, a candle’s must cross that level
Order Blocks
ICT (Inner Circle Trader) defines an Order Block as the last down-closing candle, or series of candles, before a significant upward price move or the last up-closing candle, or series of candles, before a significant downward price move. These key price levels, marked by substantial buy or sell orders from institutional traders or "smart money," create a block or zone on the price chart. When the price revisits these levels, it often leads to a strong market reaction. Order Blocks can consist of one or multiple consecutive candles of the same color, signaling areas of significant buying or selling interest. ICT's approach to Order Blocks provides traders with a structured method to identify potential areas of support or resistance, where price movements are more likely to change direction. Although ICT has shared some criteria for identifying Order Blocks publicly, the full details are reserved for his upcoming books. This indicator leverages the publicly available information to provide traders with valuable insights into these crucial price levels.
The Advanced Market Structure indicator is designed to be highly flexible, allowing traders to define their own combination of rules for identifying Order Blocks, thus customizing it to fit their unique trading strategies.
Order Block Configuration
Can be nested
An Order Block is defined as the last down candle or candles before a strong move higher, and vice versa for bearish Order Blocks. However, larger-than-usual candles resulting from news events or price action may not qualify as Order Blocks and can mute any Order Block within their range.
The "Can be nested" flag ensures that each Order Block is treated as an independent entity, even if it appears within the body of another Order Block.
Forms at swing point
Order Blocks formed at swing points typically have higher probabilities but are less frequent, assuming the same rules are applied. Additionally, Order Blocks at swing points may become Breaker and Mitigation blocks if they fail, providing more trading opportunities.
Forms a simple pivot point
A simple pivot point corresponds to ICT Short Term High and Low (STH/STL). Order Blocks using simple pivot points can occur in the middle of a move, not just at swing points. These are useful for identifying IOFED setups and supporting blocks that can bolster the price move.
Causes Market Structure Shift
Order Blocks that result in a break above or below a short swing point can help narrow down target order blocks, but they are less frequent. An Order Block causing a break above or below a pivot point does not necessarily indicate a strong Order Block. For example, an Order Block formed at a Lower Low is more likely to fail in a downtrend.
A clean close above order block
When the first candle breaks above an Order Block and closes above its high, this indicates a stronger Order Block. On the other hand, if a candle merely wicks through the Order Block without a solid close above it, it suggests a weaker Order Block. This may indicate hesitation or an impending reversal, as the wick represents a temporary and unsustained price movement.
Has displacement more than X the body
While some traders may capitalize on the initial break above an Order Block's CISD level, others prefer to focus on the return to an Order Block after displacement. Displacement is determined by the body size of the Order Block, and an Order Block cannot be tested until this level has been achieved.
Has a Fair Value Gap
When an Order Block is combined with a Fair Value Gap (FVG), it signifies a strong Order Block. The Fair Value Gap indicates a strong price movement away from the Order Block.
Has a liquidity void
A Liquidity Void occurs when two consecutive candles of the same color do not overlap, creating a gap similar to a Fair Value Gap, but involving one or more middle candles. Liquidity Voids can be utilized in combination with, or as an alternative to, the displacement setting.
Maximum number of OBs
The maximum number of Order Blocks to display.
Mitigated at block’s
An Order Block is considered mitigated when price reaches one of the main Order Block levels.
Liquidity Void
Liquidity Void refers to areas on a price chart where there is one-sided trading activity. This phenomenon occurs when the price of an asset moves sharply in one direction, leaving gaps where two consecutive candles of the same color do not overlap. These gaps can comprise one or more middle candles and indicates a pronounced lack of trading within that price range. Liquidity Voids are important because they highlight areas of minimal resistance, where price is more likely to return to fill the void and balance the market.
Liquidity Void vs Fair Value Gap
While both concepts are related to gaps in price action, they are distinct. A Fair Value Gap is a specific three-candle pattern where the middle candle creates a gap between the first and third candles. In contrast, a Liquidity Void represents a broader area on the chart where there is little to no trading activity, often encompassing multiple candles and indicating a more pronounced imbalance between buy and sell orders.
A FVG can be part of a Liquidity Void, a Liquidity Void can exist without necessarily including an FVG. Both concepts highlight areas of minimal resistance and potential price movement, but they differ in their formation and implications.
Advanced Market Structure and Order Blocks indicator focus on liquidity voids since a liquidity void can substitute for a FVG and it is usually less addressed by other indicators.
ThePawnAlgoPROThe Pawn algo PRO is an automated strategy that is useful to trade retracements and expansions using any higher timeframe reference.
Why is useful?
This algorithm is helpful to trade with the higher timeframe Bias and to see the HTF manipulations of the highs or lows once the candle open, usually in a normal buy candle will be a manipulation lower to end up higher. In a normal sell candle will be a manipulation higher to close lower. Once the potential direction of the Higher time frame candle is clear the algo will just enter on a trade on the lower timeframe aligned with the higher timeframe trend.
You can select any HTF you want from 1-365Days, 1-12Months or 1-52W ranges. Making this algorithm very flexible to adapt to any trader specialized timeframe.
How it works and how it does it?
It works with a simple but powerful pattern a close above previous candle high means higher prices and a close below previous candle low means lower prices, Close inside previous candle range means price is going to consolidate do some kind of retracement or reversal. The algo plots the candles with different colors to identify each of these states. And it does this in the HTF range plot.
This algo is similar to the previously released Pawn algo with the additional features that is an automated strategy that can take trade using desired risk reward and different entry types and trade management options. When the simple pattern is detected.
Also this version allows to plot the current developing HTF levels meaning the high, low and the 50%, plus the first created FVG(fair value gap introduced by ICT) in the range allowing to easily track any change in the potential direction of the HTF candle.
How to use it?
First select a higher timeframe reference and then select a lower timeframe, to visualize it better is recommended that the LTF is at least 10 times lower. Default HTF is 1 Week and LTF is 60min for trading the weekly expansions intraday.
Then we configure the HTF visualization it can be configure to show different HTF levels the premium/discount, wicks midpoints, previous levels, actual developing range or both. The Shade of the HTF range can be the body or the whole HTF range.
After that we configure the automated entries we can chose between buys only ,sell only entries or both and minimum risk reward to take a trade. Default value is 1.8RR and both entries selected. We can choose the maximum Risk Reward to avoid unrealistic targets default is 10RR. The maximum trades per HTF candle is also possible to select around this section.
Then we got the option to select which type of trade you want to take a trade around the open, the 50% or 75-80% or around the previous High for shorts or Low for longs. And off course the breakout entry that is for taking expansions outside previous HTF range. The picture below showcase an option using only entries on previous candles High or lows and 1Day as a HTF. You can also see the actual and previous HTF levels plotted.
Is important to take into account that these default settings are optimized for the MNQ! the 1W and 1H timeframes, but traders can adjust these settings to their desire timeframes or market and find a profitable configuration adjusting the parameters as they prefer. Initial balance, order size and commissions might be needed to be configured properly depending of the market. The algo provides a dashboard that make it easy to find a profitable configuration. It specifies the total trades, ARR that is an approximate value of the accumulative risk reward assuming all loses are 1R. The profit factor(PF) and percent profitable trades(PP) values are also available plus consecutives take profits and consecutives loses experimented in the simulation.
Finally there is an option to allow the algo to just trade following the direction of the trend if you just want to use it for sentiment or potential trend detection, this will place a trade in the most probable direction using the HTF reference levels, first FVG and LTF price action.
In the picture below you can see it in action in the 1min chart using 1H as HTF. When its trending works pretty well but when is consolidating is better to avoid using this option. Configuration below uses a time filter with the macro times specified by ICT that is also an available filter for taking trades. And the risk reward is set to minimum 2RR.
The cyan dotted line is the stop loss and the blue one above is the take profit level. The algo allows for different ways to exit in this case is using exit on a reversal, but can also be when the take profit is hit, or in a retracement. For the stop loss we can chose to exit on a close, reversal or when price hit the level.
Strategy Results
The results are obtained using 2000usd in the MNQ! 1 contract per trade. Commission are set to 2USD,slippage to 1tick,
The backtesting range is from April 19 2021 to the present date that is march 2025 for a total of 180 trades, this Strategy default settings are designed to take trades on retracements only, in any of the available options meaning around 50% to the extreme HTF high or low following the HTF trend, but can only take 2 trades per HTF candle and the risk reward must be minimum 1.8RR and maximum 8RR. Break even is set when price reaches 2RR and the exit on profit is on a reversal, and for loses when the stop is hit. The HTF range is 1 Week and LTF is 1H. The strategy give decent results, makes around 2 times the money is lost with around 30% profitable. It experiments drawdown when the market makes quick market structure shifts or consolidates for long periods of time. So should be used with caution, remember entries constitute only a small component of a complete winning strategy. Other factors like risk management, position-sizing, trading frequency, trading fees, and many others must also be properly managed to achieve profitability. Past performance doesn’t guarantee future results.

CandelaCharts - Balanced Price Range (BPR) 📝 Overview
ICT Balanced Price Range (BPR) is the area on the price chart where two opposite Fair Value Gaps overlap.
To identify a Balanced Price Range (BPR), mark a fair value gap (FVG) on the sell side of the price and another on the buy side. These FVGs should be directly opposite each other horizontally. The overlapping area between the two is the Balanced Price Range.
The significance of the ICT Balanced Price Range lies in its sensitivity to price movements. When the market approaches a BPR, it often triggers a rapid and notable price reaction.
This reaction occurs because the two opposing FVGs attract the attention of smart money traders—those with substantial capital capable of influencing market trends. As a key concept in the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology, the BPR serves as an ideal entry point, frequently driving considerable market activity.

FU Candle Indicator V3.2What the FU Candle Indicator does:
First we need to understand what FU candles are. There's bullish and bearish FU candles.
Bullish FU candles are candles that have a long wick that takes out the previous candles low, then turns around and closes above the high of the previous candle.
Bearish FU candles are candles that have a long wick that takes out the previous candles high, then turns around and closes below the low of the previous candle.
Then there's so called attempted FU candles (ATT FU)
The difference between normal FU candles and ATT FU candles is, that the ATT FU candle doesn't close above/below the high/low of the previous candle but only above the previous candle's body close.
Bullish ATT FU Candle:
Bearish ATT FU Candle:
Detection of Bullish FU Candles:
Bullish FU Candles are detected by measuring the distance between the low of the previous candle and the low of the current candle.
Then the distance between the previous candles high and the current candles close price are measured.
If current candle low < previous candle low and current candle close > previous candle high = Bullish FU Candle.
Detection of Bullish ATT FU Candles:
Bullish ATT FU Candles are detected by measuring the distance between the low of the previous candle and the low of the current candle.
Then the distance between the previous candles close or open price and the current candles close price are measured. If the previous candle closed bearish, the open price is used for comparison, if the previous candle closed bullish, the close price is used for comparison.
If current candle low < previous candle low and current candle close > previous candle open or close = Bullish ATT FU Candle.
Detection of Bearish FU Candles:
Bearish FU Candles are detected by measuring the distance between the high of the previous candle and the high of the current candle.
Then the distance between the previous candles low, AND the current candles close price are measured.
If current candle high > previous candle high, AND current candle close < previous candle low = Bearish FU Candle.
Detection of Bearish ATT FU Candles:
Bearish ATT FU Candles are detected by measuring the distance between the high of the previous candle and the high of the current candle.
Then the distance between the previous candles close or open price and the current candles close price are measured. If the previous candle closed bearish, the open price is used for comparison, if the previous candle closed bullish, the close price is used for comparison.
If current candle high > previous candle high and current candle close < previous candle open or close = Bearish ATT FU Candle.
What makes this script unique?
It shows and liquidity grab and a break of structure on a lower timeframe in one candle.
It allows to adjust the settings for the asset and timeframe you're using
The built in filters (Fractal Filter and EMA Filter) are both optional but allow to filter out certain candles and most importantly it leaves room for experimentation and optimisation to your trading style.
Input Settings and how to use them:
Bullish FU Candle Color --> This setting is to set the color for bullish FU candles.
Bearish FU Candle Color --> This setting is to set the color for bearish FU candles.
Chart --> This setting enables you to display FU's on different timeframes instead of only the current time. It's set to current timeframe by default.
Liq. Grab in Points --> This is the strength of the liquidity grab. By how many points has the current candle taken out the low/ high of the previous candle. It's set to 20 by default but it has to be adjusted to the timeframe and asset you're using.
Engulfing in Points --> This the strength of the engulfing of the previous candle. It measures the distance of the current close price to the open, close, high or low of the previous candle. It depends if the current candle is bullish or bearish and if the previous candle was bullish or bearish and if ATT FUs are enabled but this setting applies to all methods. It's set to 20 by default but you have to adjust it to the asset and timeframe you're using.
Min. Size in Points --> This setting is to filter out tiny candles. It measures the overall size of the FU candle from low to high. It's set to 20 by default but you have to adjust it to the asset and timeframe you are using.
Min. Body Size in Points --> This setting is to filter out FU candles that have a tiny body. It measures the size of the body from open to close. It's set to 20 by default but you have to adjust it to the asset and timeframe you are using.
Max. Body Size in Points --> This setting is to filter out FU candles that have a huge body. It measures the size of the body from open to close. It's set to 10000 by default but you have to adjust it to the asset and timeframe you are using.
Show ATT FU Candles --> ATT FU Candles are FU's where the body only engulfs the previous candles body but not the wick. This type of FU candles is just as valid as the strong FU's where the Body and the wick of the previous Candle is engulfed. The setting is enabled by default.
Rejection Filter --> This setting is used filter out FU candles where the opposite side rejection is stronger than the body direction of the FU. This filters out a lot of traps. It's disabled by default.
Fractal Filter --> FU's are only valid if they broke a fractal of the past x candles. This filters out some of the FU candles that are inside a range and therefore invalid. This is an optional filter and disabled by default.
EMA Filter --> FU's are only if they are above/ below the EMA. This is to filter out most of the FU candles that are inside ranges. The EMA period can be set too. This is an optional filter and enabled and EMA length set to 7 by default. You can enable it and/ or change the length of the EMA to fit your trading style.
Show Entry Lines --> The entry line setting has been changed in terms of styling. The upper and lower line has been removed. Now only the 50% retracement line of the candle body is displayed and the line type, color, strength and length can be set to keep charts as clean as possible.
Alert Timeframes --> You can select the timeframes for which you want to receive an alert if you set and alert for the FU Candle indicator. If you set an alert for the FU Candle Indicator it will send an alert for every FU candle on every selected timeframe.
TF1-TF8 --> This setting is to enable or disable alerts for timeframe 1 - timeframe 8. By default all alerts are disabled, I recommend only enabling the ones that you actually use.
Recommended use:
A bullish FU candle doesn't necessarily mean it's a long and vice versa a bearish FU candle doesn't necessarily mean it's a short. In fact, most FU candles are traps. Often times you'll see a bullish FU candle starting a bearish reversal.
Whenever you see an FU Candle check the following:
Did the FU candle take relevant liquidity?
Is the FU Candle in line with the overall bias or does it go against the bias?
Where did the FU react? Example: A bearish FU candle that reacts in a bullish FVG is a perfect long entry and vice versa.
A bullish FU candle that takes out a relevant swing high can often be a fake-out and price can immediately reverse as the next candle opens.
Timing is also very important. Usually the valid FU candles happen after a strong move to one direction during high volume times and right before or right after a new candle opens on a higher timeframe.
Examples of valid setups:
Nr. 1) Mitigation Setup
Overall bullish on the higher time frame, liquidity grab to the downside, shift in momentum, strong move to the upside left a FVG. later price comes back into the FVG and forms a FU candle --> perfect long trade targeting the opposite side of the range.
Entry either at close of the FU or at the 50% retracement.
Nr. 2) Trap Setup
Clear bullish trend respecting the trend line, bearish FU candle forms but it didn't take any relevant liquidity to the upside. Only internal range liquidity. Perfect long entry using a buy limit below the lower wick of the FU candle with the SL below the nearest low.
Nr. 3) Liquidity Grab Setup
Bearish trend, price comes up aggressively and takes out a high and forms an FU Candle. Market entry short at close of the FU candle or at the 50% retracement of the FU candle or by putting a limit order right above the wick of the candle that follows the FU candle, targeting the opposite side of the range.
Nr. 4) Fake Breakout Setup
Price takes out a significant HTF low, then makes at least 2 BOS on the LTF and forms an Order Block or leaves an FVG. Price forms a bearish U that fails to close below the FVG or Orderblock.
Market entry long at the close of the bearish FU targeting the opposite side of the range. Vice versa for shorts. In simple terms: Bullish FUs at the top of the range and bearish FUs at the bottom of the range are usually always traps.
Sometimes price takes out the high/low of a trap FU before reversing aggressively so you can also have a limit order below the low of the bearish FU or above the high of a bullish FU in this case. But you risk missing the trade.
Entry Methods:
Entry Type 1) Market Entry at the close of the FU candle. --> Never miss a trade, not the best RRR.
Entry Type 2 Limit Entry at the 50% retracement of the body of the FU candle. --> Miss some of the trades but better RRR.
Entry Type 3 Limit order below the wick of the candle that follows the FU candle. --> Miss quite a lot of trades but by far best RRR.
Why this is a closed source script:
The source code of this script is not open because I have spent several years of my life developing it and I use it in all my trading bots.
Also I'm open for feedback and will modify/ update the script for free if I get input that can make it better.
For questions, please reach out via DM or check out my youtube channel. I have several videos explaining in detail how I use these candles, which are valid and which aren't.

⚫ What is PRZ (Potential Reversal Zone)?
Depends on your technical analysis, it can be any Harmonic Pattern level
or it can be Order block at Price action concept.
⚫ What is Imbalance (FVG)?
Fair Value Gaps are price jumps caused by imbalanced buying and selling pressures.
A bullish Fair Value Gap is created when there is a gap between the high of the first candle and the low of the third candle.
A bearish Fair Value Gap is created when there is a gap between the low of the first candle and the high of the third candle.

it will only give entry signal of impulse's 0.618 and more fibonacci level
🔵 Others Filter are;
RSI Filtering - It will give entry signal, if only RSI is at Overbought or Oversold
EMA Filtering - It will give entry signal with the same direction of Exponential Moving Average
Imbalance Filtering - It will give entry signal, if there is FVG - Imbalance at the entry level
Thanks alot, wish you great trades
Institutional Order Finder (IOF) - Hidden Order Block LiteInstitutional Order Finder (IOF) - Hidden Order Blocks
Institutional Order Finder (IOF) Indicator: Detecting Breaker Blocks and Hidden Order Blocks (HOBs)
The Institutional Order Finder (IOF) Lite is designed to assist traders in identifying breaker blocks, also known as hidden order blocks (HOBs). The indicator helps identify untouched bodies within order blocks and offers comprehensive analysis of fair value gaps (FVGs) and order blocks based on engulfing candles. The method for detecting engulfing patterns is customizable (available in the Pro version).
Features of the Institutional Order Finder (IOF) Lite Indicator
The indicator detects breaker blocks and distinguishes between complete HOBs and partial HOBs (PHOBs). An HOB is created when the body of a candle, to the left of an engulfing candle, ideally fits through the fair value gaps without being touched by wicks. The indicator differentiates between:
HOB (Hidden Order Block): The body completely fits through the FVGs and is untouched by wicks, making it a strong and reliable breaker block.
PHOB (Partial Hidden Order Block): The body does not fully fit, but at least the equilibrium (50% level of the body left of the engulfing candle) is covered by the FVGs.
The minimum requirement for a “good” HOB is for the equilibrium to be crossed by the FVGs. This method provides a focused and high-quality view of the market structure.
Visualization and Market Structure Analysis
The Institutional Order Finder (IOF) displays order blocks as lines, with the equilibrium being a critical analysis point. Once the equilibrium is reached, the order block is considered invalid. In addition to HOBs and PHOBs, the indicator also displays fair value gaps, as well as invalidated order blocks (OBs) and breaker blocks (BBs). Understanding these invalidations is essential for interpreting market behavior and potential turning points. The line representation offers a cleaner view, making it easier to combine multiple timeframes and spot clusters.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis (MTF)
The Lite version allows analysis of up to three different timeframes, helping traders observe the relevance and strength of order blocks across different time periods. For each selected timeframe, not only confirmed order blocks are shown, but also “potential order blocks (OBs) and breaker blocks (BBs).” These blocks are currently forming and are not yet confirmed. Potential OBs and BBs can provide crucial insights into the current market structure, especially for traders who seek early signals.
Lite Version and Limitations
The Lite version of the Institutional Order Finder (IOF) indicator has certain limitations. It can display only up to three timeframes, offers fewer customization options, and focuses on basic analysis tools. Nonetheless, the Lite version is a powerful tool for gaining initial insights into the functionality of the MT Breaker Block indicator and improving understanding of market structure.
Why Use the Institutional Order Finder (IOF) Indicator?
The Lite indicator offers a precise way to analyze and visualize order blocks and breaker blocks. By focusing on identifying untouched bodies and the equilibrium, the indicator provides a unique perspective on market structure, often missing from traditional order block indicators. With its ability to conduct multi-timeframe analysis and identify potential order blocks in real time, the IOF Lite indicator offers a detailed understanding of potential price movements.

thinkCNE - Key with Multiple ColoursCustomisable Key with Multi-Coloured Highlights for Chart Annotations
Overview:
This Customizable Key indicator is designed to provide traders with a clear and visually customizable legend that can be displayed on their chart. It allows users to annotate their charts with up to 10 distinct labels, each paired with a unique color-coded square. This feature is especially useful when you need to visually differentiate between various technical elements on your chart, such as support/resistance levels, Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), or important pivot points.
Key Features:
Customizable Labels and Colors: Each row in the table can be customized with unique text and background colors. This flexibility allows traders to create a personalized key that reflects the specific elements they are tracking, such as monthly FVGs, daily supports, volume-based zones, or any other custom annotations.
Flexible Number of Rows: The user can enable or disable rows as needed, which ensures that the table only shows relevant information. If fewer than 10 rows are required, the unused rows can be hidden from view, maintaining a clean and uncluttered chart.
Dynamic Table Placement: The key can be placed at different positions on the chart (top-right, middle-right, or bottom-right), giving users control over where the key appears to avoid covering important parts of their technical analysis.
Adjustable Size and Text Format: Users can customize the size of the color squares, the text, and even the overall appearance of the table. The text size can range from small to huge, making the labels easy to read based on personal preferences.
Use Cases:
Annotating Key Technical Zones: The indicator is perfect for annotating multiple technical zones or levels that require consistent attention. For example, traders can label areas like "Monthly FVG," "Daily Support," "Key Resistance," or even "Volume Spike," and color-code them accordingly for quick reference.
Drawing Clarity: A well-organized chart is essential for clear decision-making. This indicator enhances clarity by visually categorizing different chart features, making it easier to quickly interpret the chart without confusion. The customizable color squares ensure that users can quickly identify which technical element corresponds to which label on the chart.
Visual Aid for Strategy Execution: For traders using strategies involving multiple indicators, support and resistance lines, or patterns, this key helps keep track of all the elements, especially when several overlapping annotations might clutter the chart. It allows users to draw specific attention to key areas of interest and explain the rationale for each one.
Educational & Presentational Tool: If you're conducting trading education sessions or presentations, this indicator can serve as a powerful tool to explain concepts in real-time. You can present your chart with clearly marked zones or levels, where each color and label explains the reasoning behind your analysis. It’s a professional tool for walkthroughs or strategy breakdowns.
Benefits:
Enhanced Visual Organization: The color-coded squares and corresponding labels make it easier to maintain organization within a busy chart. Traders can distinguish between multiple chart elements at a glance, which enhances their focus on critical zones or setups.
Improved Decision-Making: By clearly labeling and color-coding areas of importance, traders can reduce the time it takes to assess the chart and make decisions, as the key provides a concise reference.
Customizable to Individual Needs: Traders can adapt the indicator to their specific trading style and chart elements, whether they're swing traders marking longer-term zones or day traders focusing on short-term levels.
Clarity on Complex Charts: For traders using charts with several indicators and drawings, the ability to clearly define what each color and label represents ensures that the chart remains understandable, even with multiple overlays.
Point and Figure Displacement IndicatorThe PnF Displacement indicator is my custom script for TradingView, designed to analyze Point and Figure (PnF) charts with displacement features.
Key components of the script include:
User Inputs:
Require FVG: A boolean input to determine if a Fair Value Gap (FVG) is required for displacement calculations.
Displacement Type: Allows users to choose between "Open to Close" and "High to Low" for column range calculations.
Displacement Length: Defines how far back to look for calculating the standard deviation of the column range.
Displacement Strength: Multiplier for the standard deviation to adjust sensitivity.
Box Size: Sets the size of each box in the PnF chart.
Number of Boxes for Minimum Displacement: Specifies how many boxes to consider for calculating the minimum displacement.
Displacement Logic:
The script calculates the column range based on the selected displacement type.
It computes a standard deviation of the candle range and determines a minimum displacement based on user-defined box size and count.
The displacement condition combines the FVG check and the column range against the calculated minimum.
Visual Representation:
The bars are colored based on displacement conditions, enhancing visual analysis on the chart.
This indicator aids traders in identifying significant price movements in PnF charts while incorporating user customization options for better analysis.
Liquidity strategy tester [Influxum]This tool is based on the concept of liquidity. It includes 10 methods for identifying liquidity in the market. Although this tool is presented as a strategy, we see it more as a data-gathering instrument.
Warning: This indicator/strategy is not intended to generate profitable strategies. It is designed to identify potential market advantages and help with identifying effective entry points to capitalize on those advantages.
Once again, we have advanced the methods of effectively searching for liquidity in the market. With strategies, defined by various entry methods and risk management, you can find your edge in the market. This tool is backed by thorough testing and development, and we plan to continue improving it.
In its current form, it can also be used to test well-known ICT or Smart Money concepts. Using various methods, you can define market structure and identify areas where liquidity is located.
Fair Value Gaps - one of the entry signal options is fair value gaps, where an imbalance between buyers and sellers in the market can be expected.
Time and Price Theory - you can test this by setting liquidity from a specific session and testing entries as that liquidity is grabbed
Judas Swing - can be tested as a market reversal after a breakout during the first hours of trading.
Power of Three - accumulation can be observed as the market moving within a certain range, identified as cluster liquidity in our tool, manipulation occurs with the break of liquidity, and distribution is the direction of the entry.
🟪 Methods of Identifying Liquidity
Pivot Liquidity
This refers to liquidity formed by local extremes – the highest or lowest prices reached in the market over a certain period. The period is defined by a pivot number and determines how many candles before and after the high/low were higher/lower. Simply put, the pivot number represents the number of adjacent candles to the left and right, with a lower high for a pivot high and a higher low for a pivot low. The higher the number, the more significant the high/low is. Behind these local market extremes, we expect to find orders waiting for breakout as well as stop-losses.
Gann Swing
Similar to pivot liquidity, Gann swing identifies significant market points. However, instead of candle highs and lows, it focuses on the closing prices. A Gann swing is formed when a candle closes above (or below) several previous closes (the number is again defined by a strength parameter).
Percentage Change
Apart from ticks, percentages are also a key unit of market movement. In the search for liquidity, we monitor when a local high or low is formed. For liquidity defined by percentage change, a high must be a certain percentage higher than the last low to confirm a significant high. Similarly, a low must be a defined percentage away from the last significant high to confirm a new low. With the right percentage settings, you can eliminate market noise.
Session Range (3x)
Session range is a popular concept for finding liquidity, especially in smart money concepts (SMC). You can set up liquidity visualization for the Asian, London, or New York sessions – or even all three at once. This tool allows you to work with up to three sessions, so you can easily track how and if the market reacts to liquidity grabs during these sessions.
Tip for traders: If you want to see the reaction to liquidity grab during a specific session at a certain time (e.g., the well-known killzone), you can set the Trading session in this tool to the exact time where you want to look for potential entries.
Unfinished Auction
Based on order flow theory, an unfinished auction occurs when the market reverses sharply without filling all pending orders. In price action terms, this can be seen as two candles at a local high or low with very similar or identical highs/lows. The maximum difference between these values is defined as Tolerance, with the default setting being 3 ticks. This setting is particularly useful for filtering out noise during slower market periods, like the Asian session.
Double Tops and Bottoms
A very popular concept not only from smart money concepts but also among price pattern traders is the double bottom and double top. This occurs when the market stops and reverses at a certain price twice in a row. In the tool, you can set how many candles apart these bottoms/tops can be by adjusting the Length parameter. According to some theories, double bottoms are more effective when there is a significant peak between the two bottoms. You can set this in the tool as the Swing value, which defines how large the movement (expressed in ticks) must be between the two peaks/bottoms. The final parameter you can adjust is Tolerance, which defines the possible price difference between the two peaks/bottoms, also expressed in ticks.
Range or Cluster Liquidity
When the market stays within a certain price range, there’s a chance that breakout orders and stop-losses are accumulating outside of this range. Our tool defines ranges in two ways:
Candle balance calculates the average price within a candle (open, high, low, and close), and it defines consolidation when the centers of candles are within a certain distance from each other.
Overlap confirms consolidation when a candle overlaps with the previous one by a set percentage.
Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Highs or Lows
These options simply define liquidity as the previous day’s, week’s, or month’s highs or lows.
Visual Settings
You can easily adjust how liquidity is displayed on the chart, choosing line style, color, and thickness. To display only uncollected liquidity, select "Delete grabbed liquidity."
Liquidity Duration
This setting allows you to control how long liquidity areas remain valid. You can cancel liquidity at the end of the day, the second day, or after a specific number of candles.
🟪 Strategy
Now we come to the part of working with strategies.
Max # of bars after liquidity grab – This parameter allows you to define how many candles you can search for entry signals from the moment liquidity is grabbed. If you are using engulfing as an entry signal, which consists of 2 candles, keep in mind that this number must be at least 2. In general, if you want to test a quick and sharp reaction, set this number as low as possible. If you want to wait for a structural change after the liquidity grab, which may require more candles, set the number a bit higher.
🟪 Strategy - entries
In this section, we define the signals or situations where we can enter the market after liquidity has been taken out.
Liquidity grab - This setup triggers a trade immediately after liquidity is grabbed, meaning the trade opens as the next candle forms.
Close below, close above - This refers to situations where the price closes below liquidity, but then reverses and closes above liquidity again, suggesting the liquidity grab was a false breakout.
Over bar - This occurs when the entire candle (high and low) passes beyond the liquidity level but then experiences a pullback.
Engulfing - A popular price action pattern that is included in this tool.
2HL - weak, medium, strong - A variation of a popular candlestick pattern.
Strong bar - A strong reactionary candle that forms after a liquidity grab. If liquidity is grabbed at a low, this would be a strong long candle that closes near its high and is significantly larger compared to typical volatility.
Naked bar - A candlestick pattern we’ve tested that serves as a good confirmation of market movement.
FVG (Fair Value Gap) - A currently popular concept. This is the only signal with additional settings. “Pending FVG order valid” means if a fair value gap forms after a liquidity grab, a limit order is placed, which remains valid for a set number of candles. “FVG minimal tick size” allows you to filter based on the gap size, measured in ticks. “GAP entry model” lets you decide whether to place the limit order at the gap close or its edge.
🟪 Strategy - General
Long, short - You can choose whether to focus on long or short trades. It’s interesting to see how long and short trades yield different results across various markets.
Pyramiding - By default, the tool opens only one trade at a time. If a new signal arises while a trade is open, it won’t enter another position unless the pyramiding box is checked. You also need to set the maximum number of open trades in the Properties.
Position size - Simply set the size of the traded position.
🟪 Strategy - Time
In this section, you can set time parameters for the strategy being tested.
Test since year - As the name implies, you can limit the testing to start from a specific year.
Trading session - Define the trading session during which you want to test entries. You can also visualize the background (BG) for confirmation.
Exclude session - You can set a session period during which you prefer not to search for trades. For example, when the New York session opens, volatility can sharply increase, potentially reducing the long-term success rate of the tested setup.
🟪 Strategy - Exits
This section lets you define risk management rules.
PT & SL - Set the profit target (PT) and stop loss (SL) here.
Lowest/highest since grab - This option sets the stop loss at the lowest point after a liquidity grab at a low or at the highest point after a liquidity grab at a high. Since markets usually overshoot during liquidity grabs, it’s good practice to place the stop loss at the furthest point after the grab. You can also set your risk-reward ratio (RRR) here. A value of 1 sets an RRR of 1:1, 2 means 2:1, and so on.
Lowest/highest last # bars - Similar to the previous option, but instead of finding the extreme after a liquidity grab, it identifies the furthest point within the last number of candles. You can set how far back to look using the # bars field (for an engulfing pattern, 2 is optimal since it’s made of two candles, and the stop loss can be placed at the edge of the engulfing pattern). The RRR setting works the same way as in the previous option.
Other side liquidity grab - If this option is checked, the trade will exit when liquidity is grabbed on the opposite side (i.e., if you entered on a liquidity grab at a low, the trade will exit when liquidity is grabbed at a high).
Exit after # bars - A popular exit strategy where you close the position after a set number of candles.
Exit after # bars in profit - This option exits the trade once the position is profitable for a certain number of consecutive candles. For example, if set to 5, the position will close when 5 consecutive candles are profitable. You can also set a maximum number of candles (in the max field), ensuring the trade is closed after a certain time even if the profit condition hasn’t been met.
🟪 Alerts
Alerts are a key tool for traders to ensure they don’t miss trading opportunities. They also allow traders to manage their time effectively. Who would want to sit in front of the computer all day waiting for a trading opportunity when they could be attending to other matters? In our tool, you currently have two options for receiving alerts:
Liquidity grabs alert – if you enable this feature and set an alert, the alert will be triggered every time a candle on the current timeframe closes and intersects with the displayed liquidity line.
Entry signals alert – this feature triggers an alert when a signal for entry is generated based on the option you’ve selected in the Entry type. It’s an ideal way to be notified only when a trading opportunity appears according to your predefined rules.
ICT Balance Price Range [UAlgo]The "ICT Balance Price Range " indicator identifies and visualizes potential balance price ranges (BPRs) on a price chart. These ranges are indicative of periods where the market exhibits balance between bullish and bearish forces, often preceding significant price movements.
🔶 What is Balanced Price Range (BPR) ?
Balanced Price Range is a concept based on Fair Value Gap. Balanced price range (BPR) is the area on price chart where two opposite fair value gaps overlap.
When price approaches the Balanced Price Range (BPR), we assume that the price will react quickly and strongly here. This is because its the combination of two fair value gaps and being a good point of interest for smart money traders.
🔶 Key Features:
Bars to Consider: Determines the number of bars to evaluate for BPR conditions.
Threshold for BPR: Sets the minimum range required for a valid BPR to be identified.
Remove Old BPR: Option to automatically remove invalidated BPRs from the chart.
Bearish/Bullish Box Color: Customizable colors for visual representation of bearish and bullish BPRs.
🔶 Disclaimer

🔶 BASIC DEMONSTRATION
The preceding image illustrates the market structure functionality within the Smart Money Concepts indicator.
Solid lines: These represent the core indicator's internal structure, forming the foundation for most other components. They visually depict the overall market direction and identify major reversal points marked by significant price movements (denoted as 'x').
Dotted lines: These represent an alternative internal structure with the potential to drive more rapid market shifts. This is particularly relevant when a significant gap exists in the established swing structure, specifically between the Break of Structure (BOS) and the most recent Change of High/Low (CHoCH). Identifying these formations can offer opportunities for quicker entries and potential short-term reversals.
Sweeps (x): These signify potential turning points in the market where liquidity is removed from the structure. This suggests a possible trend reversal and presents crucial entry opportunities. Sweeps are identified within both swing and internal structures, providing valuable insights for informed trading decisions.
🔶 USAGE & EXAMPLES
The image above showcases a detailed example of several features from our toolkit that can be used in conjunction for a comprehensive analysis.
Price rejecting from the bullish order block (POC), while printing inside a bullish SFP and internal structure turning bullish (Internal CHoCH).
The image further demonstrates how two bearish order blocks could potentially act as resistance zones when prices approach those levels. These areas might also offer attractive locations to place take-profit orders.
The price has reached our first take-profit level, but is exhibiting some signs of weakness, suggesting a potential pullback which could put the trade at higher risk.
On the other hand, the price action currently exhibits strong bullish sentiment, suggesting favorable entry points and a potential upward trend.
The price has now fully reached our take-profit zone and is also exhibiting bearish confluence, indicating a potential price reversal or trend shift.
🔶 USING CONFLUENCE
The core principle behind the success of this toolkit lies in identifying "confluence." This refers to the convergence of multiple trading indicators all signaling the same information at a specific point or area. By seeking such alignment, traders can significantly enhance the likelihood of successful trades.
In the image above we can see a few examples of the indicator used in confluence with other metrics included in the toolkit.
Liquidity Prints within order blocks
SFP close to the POC
Sweep in liquidity close to a fair value gaps
These are just a few examples of what applying confluence can look like.

ICT Premium/DiscountGuided by ICT mentorship and help from TraderTim and its community, I created this versatile indicator to mark a "Premium/Discount" price range.
This indicator shows the Premium and Discount Zones in an alternative way, manually setting the start of the band and automatically shows the HTF and LTF FVG present only in the set band, having a cleaning of the graph from possible other distractions, so as to be able to have a clear vision clear of the set trading range
The user has the possibility to:
- Choose the start of the interval from the graph by moving the start line
- Choose to show levels 50% - 75% - 25% of the range
- Choose the color, style and size of the lines
- Choose to display FVG LTF or HTF in range
- Choose the FVG mitigation mode
The indicator must be used as shown by the ICT in its concepts, the Premium and Discount zones are nothing more than zones where the price risks retracing, and consequently we can evaluate making entries in the Premium Zone, Sell is evaluated, in the Discoutn Zone they are evaluated as Buy, taking the opposite area as Take Profit
As in the example below:
If anything is unclear, comment below and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Order Block & Fractal Zones (OBFZ) Indicator.The "Order Block & Fractal Zones (OBFZ) Indicator." indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to identify and display key price levels on a chart. It utilizes the concept of Order Blocks and the Fractal Value Zone (FVG) to highlight potential support and resistance areas in the market.
The indicator marks bearish and bullish Order Blocks, which are significant price structures characterized by consecutive higher highs and higher lows for a bearish block, or consecutive lower lows and lower highs for a bullish block. These blocks suggest potential areas of market reversal.
Additionally, the indicator calculates and displays retracement and extension levels within each Order Block. These levels are derived from the previous highest and lowest values within a specified number of candles. The retracement levels include 38.2%, 50%, and 61.8%, while the extension levels include 138.2%, 150%, and 161.8%.
Furthermore, the Fractal Value Zone (FVG) is determined to identify the highest high and lowest low within the selected number of candles. The FVG helps identify areas of significant price action and potential breakout zones.
Overall, the "Order Block & Fractal Zones (OBFZ) Indicator." indicator assists traders in identifying potential support and resistance levels, as well as areas of market reversal or breakout. It can be used to make informed trading decisions based on key price levels within the observed price action.
Model Indicator |ASE|The purpose of this indicator is to allow the user to build their own model. Each feature works cohesively together and depending on the filters you enable, the model gives less and more specific entries. This benefits the trader because they have complete control over the kinds of trades they want to take, while maintaining its automatic form.
We want to be as customizable as possible while still meeting our users’ needs. We started this indicator to propel us into our ultimate project, the ASE Algo.

Benefits & Examples:
In the image below the indicator signaled multiple entries based on two simple confluence filters, a MS reversal (CHoCH/MSS) and a Liquidity Raid. Going from left to right we can see a short entry at the highs with a supporting Order Block. Liquidity levels are taken before we see a double IDM right below the respected OB that leads to the next signaled entry. In the middle of the chart we see a long entry that leads right into a short entry showing the effectiveness of such a simple model.
In this supporting image we are showcasing the first implementation of the Trade Overlay feature. This feature displays the Entry and Stop Loss to make it more visible and adds a risk to reward target. Additionally displayed is the SMC Toolkit indicator showing us additional confirmation with our signaled entries playing right out of a higher timeframe FVG.
An additional entry feature is the MTF zone. Setups can form on all timeframes and subjecting yourself to only one may lead you to miss out on some perfect setups or a larger move. In the image below we are on the 1 minute timeframe. We can see the Initial Reversal Entry which played out beautifully and filled a higher timeframe SFVG. With the MTF zone we can see a 3 minute and 5 minute Zone which produces the rest of the trend reaching another higher timeframe SFVG after filling the previous one. Once again showing the benefit of the Toolkit indicator but the plotted entries from such a simple model.
In addition to the model indicators filtered out entry zone, we can use additional confluences to confirm these entries. In the image below we can see a short entry printed after a move out of the Std. Dev. vwap wave which shows over extension. Taking the entry we can have a tight stop loss at the vwap wave or the recent high where we have a liquidity level, targeting a lower liquidity level or higher timeframe FVG.
For this example we are only filtering based on MS Reversals (CHoCH/MSS) to get our entries. Because of this we need additional confirmation to be confident in taking the plotted entry. In the image below you can see a long signal printed, confirmation being the previous Failed Reversal.
Volume Tick Analysis and Order Blocks [Tcs] | ALGOThe indicator has been developed to provide the most complete vision possible of liquidity areas, highly traded past price levels, and how volume tick analysis affects price action.
It helps to draw on all the areas that generate a price move, or market inefficiency.
The indicator has different features:
- ORDER BLOCKS : The indicator draws different kinds of order blocks on the chart.
• Real valuable order blocks - where the price reaction is more probable. It's define by a calculation of the quantity tick volume exchanged between bulls and bears on a price level, which can create a candle event, such as engulfing candles. For this motivation the order blocks plotted will be a real valuable area.
The threshold can be adjusted based on the strategy's needs, in particular this set up has been added to adapt the strategy on different kind of asset. For Cryptocurrency for example the best threshold are between 0.5 and 1. The lower the value, the fewer order blocks will be plotted, but they will be more valuable. It's possible to show the volume exchanged, the percentage, and who controlled the valuable area, bulls or bears, on these order blocks.
For a better visualization, the order block will change color (more transparent) after it will be violated for the first time, and it will be deleted once the price will break trough it.
All order blocks can be extend
GENERAL OB VISUALIZATION
EXAMPLE OF TRADES ON OB
It's also possible to plot the footprint of past and invalidated order blocks on the chart, which can help to draw lines for future valuable areas.
• Secondary order blocks are less valuable order blocks where the probability of a price reaction is less. Usually, they work for small retracements and are more useful for scalpers. the concept is the same as Primary order blocks but without a too restricted calculation of tick volume exchanged
• LIQUIDITY GRABS: Liquidity grabs are plotted on candles that try to invalidate an order block, but high volumes move them to the opposite direction. They happen when opposite players try to move the market in the opposite direction. They are calculated only on primary order blocks.
A good entry usually is when a liquidity grab appear, the price come in the liquidity grab area to fry liquidity and price close again in the liquidity grab area.
• VOLUME VSA: All candles with high and above-average volume are plotted on the chart for both bull and bear volume. It highlights more than average volume, high volume, and extreme volume with different colors. This can help to spot good entries or detect beginning/end of a trend. For example abnormal high volume at the end of a big price movement, in the same direction, can define the end of a trend. If same situation of abnormal high volume, but in the opposite direction of the trend, could define the beginning of a market inversion.
• FAIR VALUE GAPS: It highlights all the inefficiencies of market moves, which can be used as retracement or price return areas. Here, they can be adjusted based on how effective they are adjusting the volume threshold. Bulls and bears FVG are defined in different colors. More effective FVG are plotted in less transparent colors, and you will find three levels of effectiveness.
Both OB and FVG will change color once the price retraces on them, and they will be removed when they are invalidated.
Please note that this indicator is for educational purposes only and should not be used for trading without further testing and analysis.
Bodies X Wix Version of Smart Money Tools by makuchaku & eFeThis is the same Script as Super Fair Value Gaps / FVG /BoS / by makuchaku & eFe. Mine Should Default to Large Text instead of small. The Super Order Blocks I believe was meant to for you to find one of the many Smart Money tools such as turn on the Fair Value gap but leave the others off, or Turn on where the Break of Structure and leave the others off. The reason I believe this is because the default values for each of the structures were default colored (green for positive and red for negative) for all.
Mine has a different Color for every possible structure. As long as you can read with the larger text that I added, then you can create your own boxes positive for break of structure, rejection block, order blocks and fair value gaps for any time frame. The reason I did that is because There's only certain things I believe I will need to mark for myself in each time frame, and then from there You can stretch iyour own box out further in time because if price touches a fair value gap for example, the fair value gap should conyinue in time until at least 2 candles have filed the Fair valu gap going both directions. That's truly when the fair value gap should is mitigated and will from off the chart. However, If I knew How to add the code for that, I would.
Additionally, I have the Max Boxes per chart, so you should have the ability to see every OB, FVG,RJB, & BoS on the chart
I tried my hardest to create a colored border that was different from the box. But the way the original was coded was almost impossible to do. Because they defined each of the structures (FVG, OB, BoS, RJB) outer levels, when the outer levels connect via math in the code, then it joins all the outside lines for a rectangle. When creating a box, the coloe will always be the same as the border unfortunately. (Unless I replan this from the beginning)
I also Changed the default labels for reach structure from a hard to read gray to a white that pops out.
Also, chart indicators are a little large as well. Such as the cross, sideways cross, The green Triangle, and the white Diamond. You'll get used to it or you can change it as well.
Creating videos for students, you need something they can see.
So, I just wanted to ensure everything was a little more unique and easily usable when showing this to my students when I send them private videos for our weekly lessons. I'm trying to learn how to use the IPFS for THAT, (which i see has invaded PineScript) Hope this indicator helps.

Advance Trading SystemThis Price Action + Volume based indicator combines Multi‑Timeframe swing structure, volume ranking, liquidity zones and auto long/short signal generation to create an “Advance Trading System” that displays OB (order block‑like) levels, dashboard and entry/exit labels on the chart.
What this indicator does
Looks at recent candles on different timeframes to determine if the trend is more “bullish” or “bearish” (considers it bullish if at least 2 out of 3 timeframes agree).
Picks up the recent swing points where the price can reverse and plots green/red lines on them (called “Buy OB”/“Sell OB” here).
Shows when volume has increased, whether the bar is an inside-bar or not, and a small dashboard in the top-right that shows the trend, reversal levels, volume and LTF/HTF signals.
What are the buttons/settings
Swing Strength: Based on how many bars the recent swing high/low will be confirmed; if the number increases, the signal will come late but with more confidence.
Volume Avg Period: How many bars the volume should be averaged from; this checks “whether the volume is strong or not”.
Show HH/HL/LH/LL Labels: Switch to show/hide swing labels by writing them on the chart.
Show Dashboard: Small panel on/off in the top-right.
Signal Mode: Auto, Long Only, Short Only or Both—that is, whether to follow the auto-trend or see only buy/sell.
LTF/HTF: Choose lower and higher timeframes; also 15m/30m/1h/4h are scanned in the background to understand the recent direction.
How to identify trends and swings
Candle patterns: Simple rule—if the latest candle is biased (e.g. a strong bull/bear or a particularly long wick candle), then the signal for that TF is 1 (bull) or -1 (bear); otherwise 0.
Three TFs: Lower, Mid (which is the chart TF), and Higher—the non-zero signal is considered the “last known direction”; then the number of the three is counted as bull/bear.
Swing high/low: The most recent “solid” high/low on the chart is considered the highest/lowest within a few bars to the left or right; this indicates whether the new high is above (HH) or below (LH) the old one, and whether the new low is above (HL) or below (LL).
What are the green/red lines
If the trend is bullish (at least 2 out of 3 TFs are bullish), a green line is drawn near the previous confirmed low—here it is called Buy OB; the idea is that if the price comes near this zone, a bounce is expected.
On a bearish trend, a red line is drawn near the previous confirmed high—Sell OB—which means if the price comes near that zone, a drop is expected.
Volume colors and inside-bars
color of each bar is determined by the volume ranking: orange/yellow for low volume, varying shades of blue for high volume; if an inside-bar is formed (both high/low inside the previous bar) the bar is darkened to draw attention.
Simple estimation of liquidity zone
When the recent swing high is formed, the total volume is looked at in the surrounding few bars (eg: 3-3 bars before/after) and the upper/lower edge is noted where the maximum concentration is - this is considered as the liquidity zone.
The same is done for the high TF as well and the average of both is taken to form an MTF zone to get a big-picture picture.
What the dashboard shows
Trend (Multi‑TF): HL/HH indicates bullish trend, LH/LL indicates bearish trend; color green/red.
Reversal Level: Level where the recent reversal was confirmed (high/low of the last confirmed swing).
Volume vs Prev: Volume higher/lower/equal to the previous bar.
Volume: Raw number, color green/red depending on whether Price is buy or sell.
LTF/HTF: Last received signal as BUY/SELL.
How entry/exit signals are formed
Basic conditions:
Mood bias: at least 2 TFs in the same direction.
Volume strength: current volume is well above average and higher than the previous bar—i.e. there is real juice.
Near zone: price is in a small band around the green/red line (e.g. within about -2% to +1% for Buy).
Long Entry : all three conditions above are met on the previous close of the bar in the buy direction; Short Entry is the opposite. Exit rule is also placed on the previous bar of the opposite signal, so that everything is on a “confirmed close” and false shocks are minimized.
Labels: once the signal is confirmed, the labels “LONG ENTRY”, “LONG EXIT”, “SHORT ENTRY”, “SHORT EXIT” are applied to the chart on the previous bar itself, with a small ATR-based gap for clear reading.
How Auto/Manual modes work
Auto (TF Based): The system will decide whether to look at Long Only, Short Only, or Both—depending on the Multi‑TF trend.
Long Only/Short Only: Only signals from that side will be generated; Both will generate both.
What to look for in the limits
Swing confirmation takes time, as you have to wait for a few bars to the right—so the signal is more reliable with a slight delay.
The term “OB” is used here for a simple level; this is not pro-level order-block detection (such as with FVG/break-off-structure), but it works well with this system.
Volume ranking is simple; ties are possible at equal volume, which can reduce precision in color-coding.
How to use
First check the trend from the dashboard: focus on the buy zone if HL/HH, sell zone if LH/LL.
Then check if there is a volume spike; without volume confirmation it is better to skip signals.
When the price is right near the green/red line, only work with a confirmed signal on the previous close bar, avoid rushing in between.
This can be made more robust if desired by adding true order‑block, FVG, and additional confirmations (such as RSI/MACD/Structure Break); but the base idea is to combine multi‑timeframe trend + swing levels + volume strength + zone close to produce simple, Tradeable and confirmed signals.
ICT OTE (Optimal Trade Entry) IndicatorWhat This Indicator Does:
This is an ultra-clean ICT (Inner Circle Trader) indicator that shows only ONE high-probability signal at a time when multiple confluences perfectly align. It eliminates chart clutter and focuses on the absolute best trading opportunities.
How It Takes Positions:
🔍 Signal Requirements (ALL Must Align):
Market Structure Break - Significant swing high/low break with volume confirmation
Fair Value Gap (FVG) - Large price imbalance/gap (minimum 0.5% size)
Order Block - Institutional supply/demand zone from recent rejection candle
OTE Sweet Spot - Price retraces to 70.5% Fibonacci level (optimal entry zone)
Volume Confirmation - 50% above 50-bar average volume
Rejection Candle - Proper candle formation showing rejection at the level
📊 Position Entry Logic:
BUY Signal Triggers When:
Price breaks above a significant swing high (bullish structure break)
Price retraces back down into a Fair Value Gap or Order Block
Retracement reaches exactly the 70.5% optimal level
Volume spike confirms institutional interest
Rejection candle forms (closes higher than it opened during retracement)
No other signal has been active in the last 50 bars (cooldown system)
SELL Signal Triggers When:
Price breaks below a significant swing low (bearish structure break)
Price retraces back up into a Fair Value Gap or Order Block
Retracement reaches exactly the 70.5% optimal level
Volume spike confirms institutional interest
Rejection candle forms (closes lower than it opened during retracement)
No other signal has been active in the last 50 bars (cooldown system)
⚡ Key Features:
Ultra-Strict Filtering: Only 2-4 signals per month on average (quality over quantity)
One Signal Rule: Only one active signal at a time - no confusion
50-Bar Cooldown: Prevents signal spam and overtrading
Perfect Confluence: Requires 3+ ICT concepts to align simultaneously
Clean Chart: No boxes, lines, or visual clutter - just clear BUY/SELL labels
🎯 Trading Strategy:
Wait for Signal: Large BUY or SELL label appears on chart
Entry: Enter immediately when signal appears (all confluences already confirmed)
Stop Loss: Place beyond the Fair Value Gap or Order Block (typically 1-2% risk)
Take Profit: Target previous swing high/low or major liquidity levels
Risk Management: Only trade when signal appears - no guessing or early entries
💡 Why It Works:
This indicator combines ICT's most powerful concepts (market structure, FVGs, order blocks, optimal retracements) into one confluence-based system. It only signals when institutional money is likely moving, giving you the highest probability entries with minimal noise.
Perfect for: Swing traders, day traders, and anyone wanting clean, high-probability ICT signals without chart clutter.
XAU 1H Clean Confluence — Micro Table v2XAU 1H Clean Confluence — Micro Table
What it is
A clean, low-clutter 1-hour XAUUSD indicator that summarizes confluences in a compact on-chart table. It’s designed for traders who want structure + momentum + location without covering the chart in drawings.
Best used on: ICMARKETS:XAUUSD or your broker’s XAUUSD feed, 1H timeframe.
Style: Table-only by default (optional EMA200 line and tiny signal markers).
How signals are built (long example; shorts mirror)
A Long Confluence is printed when all of the below are true:
Trend alignment: EMA20 > EMA50 > EMA200
Pullback & re-engage: price crossed back above EMA20 after a pullback
RSI regime: RSI(14) crosses up through 50 (trend confirmation)
Displacement/imbalance: a 3-candle Bull FVG exists (low > high )
Structure: either a BOS up or CHOCH up via swing pivots (pivotLen input)
Sweep (optional): if enabled, require a sweep of Asian Low and/or PDL first
Time gating (optional): only during London/NY windows and outside news windows
Short signals use the mirrored conditions (EMA stack down, cross back below EMA20, RSI cross down through 50, Bear FVG, BOS/CHOCH down, optional Asian High/PDH sweep).
