Macro Times [Blu_Ju]About ICT Macro Times:
The Inner Circle Trader (ICT) has taught that there are certain time sessions when the Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm (IPDA) is running a macro. The macro itself could be a repricing macro, a consolidation macro, etc. - this depends on where price currently is in relation to its draw. The times the macro is active do not change however, and are always the following (in New York local time):
8:50-9:10 (premarket macro)
9:50-10:10 (AM macro 1)
10:50-11:10 (AM macro 2)
11:50-12:10 (lunch macro)
13:10-13:40 (PM macro)
15:15-15:45 (final hour macro)
Because these times are fixed, traders can anticipate a setup is likely to form in or around these sessions. Setups may involve sweeps of liquidity (highs/lows), repricing to inefficiencies (e.g., fair value gaps), breaker setups, etc. (The specific setup involved is beyond the scope of this script; this script is concerned with visually marking the time sessions only.)
About this Script:
The scope of this script is to visually identify the macro active time sessions. This script draws vertical lines to mark the start and end of the macro time sessions. Optionally, the user can use a background color for the macro session with or without the vertical lines. The user can also toggle on or off any of the macro sessions, if he or she is only interested in certain ones. The user also has the freedom to change the times of the macro sessions if he or she is interested in a different time.
What makes this script unique is that it plots the macro time sessions after midnight for each day, before the real-time bar reaches the macro times. This is advantageous to the trader, as it gives the trader a visual cue that the macro times are approaching. When watching price it is easy to lose track of time, and the purpose of this script is to help the trader maintain where price is in relation to the macro time sessions in a simple, visual way.

Spike RangeGuided by new ICT tutoring, I create this versatile Spike Range
This indicator shows a different way on how to display "Spikes or Shadows" based on their size,
the indicator divides the "Spike or Shadows" into levels 0.5 - 0.75 - 0.25 Fibonacci, giving the possibility of viewing the "Spike or Shadows" with a certain size and being able to use them as continuation or reversal zones
The user has the possibility to:
- Choose the size of the "Spike or Shadows"
- Choose to view "Spike or Shadows" levels
- Choose to show only bullish or only bearish "Spike or Shadows" levels
The indicator should be used as ICT shows in its concepts.
The indicator takes into account the "Spades or Shadows" that have a certain size (based on the minimum range set)
These Spikes can be rated as "FVG" so you can expect reactions on the levels it marks, considering a reversal or continuation based on the range being respected
If the Spike is Bullish and the Price closes by invalidating 50% of the range we can evaluate a possible entry up to the High of the Spike
Below is an example of how to use them:
Invalidades Range
Respect Range
Seek liquidityGuided by ICT tutoring, I create this versatile "Seek liquidity" indicator.
This indicator shows an easy way to view the Liquidity that has been Created - Eliminated - and what liquidity is left to eliminate.
Liquidity levels appear after the sessions are over, and the lines get stuck on the candle that eliminates them.
Timing session =
//---Asian
- 18:00-00:00
//---London
- 00:00-02:00
- 02:00-05:00
- 00:00-06:00
//---New York

//---Lunch
- 12:00-13:30
//---PM
- 1.30pm - 4.00pm
- 12:00-18:00
The user has the possibility to:
- Choose whether or not to view sessions
- Choose to show levels from previous sessions
- Choose to show today's session levels
- Choose whether to view the boxes
- Choose to view the division is open daily
The indicator should be used as ICT shows in its concepts, the indicator takes into consideration both the previous and today's Liquidity, and the session levels can be used for a reversal as in the example below:
FVG in MACROGuided by ICT tutoring, I created this versatile indicator to scan the FVG in MACRO time.
This indicator combines the MACRO time with the Fair value GAP (FVG) in an alternative way, showing a simple way of viewing the FVG within the MACRO time, so you can have a clearer view of which direction the MACRO is influencing
''MACRO is a delivery time frame of the interbank price in which it undergoes a series of controls and is likely to move towards liquidity.''
The user has the possibility to:
- Choose the relevant MACRO time
- Choose whether to view all FVGs in the MACROS
- Choose to view only the First FVG at each MACRO
The indicator should be used as shown by the ICT in its concepts, during the MACRO time the price can consolidate or can head towards liquidity.
The probability that the direction is correct increases with respect for the FVG, in this way it is possible to evaluate the entry zone in the FVG and the Take profit zone for Liquidity
As in the following example:
Interest Rate and GDP Dashboard by toodegreesDescription:
The Interest Rate and GDP Dashboard is a powerful tool designed to provide traders with valuable insights into Interest Rate and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the largest Central Banks.
Interest Rates are closely monitored from all around the world, and play a massive role in Interbank Institutional Trading. Although mainly used by Forex traders, it's important for all types of analysts to understand risk-on and risk-off environments in respective currencies, or other asset classes, based on a global financial landscape.
Forex Pair Dashboard ( FOREXCOM:EURUSD ):
Non-Forex Pair Dashboard ( CME_MINI:ES1! ):
This tool displays the Live Interest Rates (as well as latest Interest Rate Change) and GDP, of the following countries/regions:
Australia
Canada
Europe
Japan
New Zealand
Switzerland
United Kingdom
United States
Further, analysts will be able to see Interest Rate Change labels directly on chart, to monitor Time and price relationship following rate hikes or rate cuts. The labels will display according to the impact of the Interest Rate Change on the current asset on chart, and their tooltips will display the %Change:
Analysts can also choose to mark Interest Rate Changes with vertical lines, to aid in marking changes in sentiment or global financial environment:
The real power and value provided by this tool is its tailored Interest Rate (and GDP) Differential feature for Forex markets, based on the Interest Rate Differential concept as taught by the Inner Circle Trader (ICT).
Using Interest Rate Differentials as a further Long Term Bias factor was introduced by ICT in conjunction with other higher Timeframe principles like Seasonal Tendency, Commitment of Traders, and Open Interest. This fusion ensures a holistic approach to dissecting specific Forex pairs, and the involvement of Institutional traders.
Key Features:
Dynamically calculates and organizes the dashboard to display the interest rate differential of the chart's forex pair, or displays all if outside of forex markets.
Pinpoint historical interest rate changes with precision using vertical lines and/or dynamic labels with tooltips.
Other Features:
Toggle Options: Customize your viewing experience by toggling the display of previous rate changes, enabling or disabling GDP visibility, and tailoring the size and location of the dashboard.
Fine-tune Visuals: Adjust the size and style of the previous interest rate labels and lines to suit your preferences, offering a personalized touch to your analytical workspace.
Usage Guidance:
Add the Interest Rate and GDP Dashboard to your Tradingview chart.
Tailor your experience by customizing the table and style to be in line with your analytical preferences, ensuring a visually engaging and personalized chart.
Observe where and when key Interest Rate decisions impact the macro trend or market environment.
Leverage this invaluable information to shape your Higher Timeframe narrative in confluence with other tools.
AMDX-XAMDGuided by ICT tutoring and also inspired by the teaching of
Daye', I create this versatile "AMDX" indicator.
A = Accumulation
M = Manipulation
D = Distribution
X = Continuation Or Reversal
This indicator shows a different way of viewing all the Timeframes by dividing them into Quarters, in this context the Trading sessions are divided into a 90m cycle, dividing each time range into Q1-Q2-Q3-Q4, in this way you have a clear vision of what the price is likely to do
True Open Times =
Opening Week - Monday at 6pm
Opening Day - 00:00
Asia -7.30pm
London -01.30
New York -07:30
PM -1.30pm
Session Times =
Q1 Asia 18:00-00:00
Q2 London 00:00-06:00
Q3 New York 06:00-12:00
Q4 PM 12:00-18:00
The user has the possibility to:
- Choose whether to display AMDX W
- Choose whether to display AMDX D
- Choose whether to display AMDX Session
- Choose to show the text in the Box
- Choose to show open levels
The indicator should be used as ICT and 'Daye' show in their concepts.
The indicator divides everything into Quarter ranges and classifies them into Q1-Q2-Q3-Q4 (as in the example above), and each Quarter has its own specific function, and can be used in this way:
If Q1 does an expansion it is likely that Q2 will do a consolidation, Q3 will do a Manipulation and Q4 will do a reversal returning to Q1
-If we are Bullish we buy under Open Session
-If we are Bearish we buy above open session
As in the example below:
If something is not clear, comment below and I will reply as soon as possible.
Immediate rebalanceGuided by the new ICT tutoring, I create this versatile Immediate Rebalance indicator
This indicator shows a different way on how to view the "Spikes or Shadows", based on the direction of the price this indicator divides the "Spike or Shadows" into levels 0.5 - 0.75 - 0.25 Fibonacci, giving the possibility to view the levels both in normal or in pre-Macro times
The user has the possibility to:
- Choose to have Spike levels shown in MultiTimeframe
- Choose to show Sike levels only Bullish or only Bearish
- Choose to show Sike levels only in pre-Macro/Macro times
- Choose to view the maximum amount of levels with Max Show
The indicator must be used as ICT shows in its concepts, the indicator takes into consideration the last 2 candles already closed so on the candle that is forming it is possible to expect reactions on the levels it marks, below is an example of how to use it in MultiTimeframe
Below I show an example on how to set the indicator to see Immediate Rebalance in Macro times
Below is an example of when not to take the indicator into consideration
Liquidity Sentiment Profile (Auto-Anchored) [LuxAlgo]
The Liquidity Sentiment Profile (Auto-Anchored) is an advanced charting tool that measures by combining PRICE and VOLUME data over specified anchored periods and highlights the distribution of the liquidity and the market sentiment at specific price levels. This version is a variation of the previously published Liquidity Sentiment Profile , wherewith this version allows users to select a variety of different anchoring periods, such as 'Auto', 'Fixed Range', 'Swing High', 'Swing Low', 'Session', 'Day', 'Week', 'Month', 'Quarter', and 'Year'
Liquidity refers to the availability of orders at specific price levels in the market, allowing transactions to occur smoothly.
🔶 USAGE
A Liquidity Sentiment Profile (Auto-Anchored) is a combination of liquidity and a sentiment profile, where the right side of the profile highlights the distribution of the traded activity at different price levels, and the left side of the profile highlights the market sentiment at those price levels
The liquidity profile is categorized by assigning different colors based on the significance of the traded activity of the specific price levels, allowing traders to reveal significant price levels, such as support and resistance levels, supply and demand zones, liquidity gaps, consolidation zones, etc
The Liquidity Sentiment Profiles aim to present Value Areas based on the significance of price levels, thus allowing users to identify value areas that can be formed more than once within the range of a single profile
Level of Significance Line - displays the changes in the price levels with the highest traded activity (developing POC)
Buyside & Sellside Liquidity Zones - displays Liquidity Levels, also known as Supply and Demand Zones
🔶 SETTINGS
The script takes into account user-defined parameters and plots the profiles, where detailed usage for each user-defined input parameter in indicator settings is provided with the related input's tooltip.

Market Structure CHoCH/BOS (Fractal) [LuxAlgo]The Market Structure CHoCH/BOS (Fractal) indicator is an experimental take on classical market structure, whereas fractal patterns are used for their construction instead of swing points.
Compared to utilizing swing points for highlighting market structure like our Smart Money Concepts indicator , fractal-based market structure can appear as more adaptive, however, it can also be more restrictive when it comes to returning swing points which can cause the indicator to miss reversals in some cases.
If enabled from within the settings, users can see support and resistance levels returned from the detected market structure with breakouts highlighted on the chart. Alongside this feature, an additional dashboard showing the structure to fractal structure percentage is also provided.
🔶 SETTINGS
Length: Length of the fractal patterns to detect.
🔹 Style
Bullish Structures: Show bullish structures.
Bearish Structures: Show bullish structures.
Support: Show support levels.
Resistance: Show resistance levels.
🔹 Dashboard
Show Dashboard: Show structure to fractal percentage dashboard on the chart.
Location: Location of the dashboard on the chart.
Size: Dashboard size.
🔶 USAGE
Market structure is commonly used to determine trend direction by using price positions relative to prior swing points. Using fractal patterns to determine market structure can allow users to obtain shorter, more frequent structure labels.
Market structure is commonly classified as follows:
Change of Character (CHoCH), also referred to as Market Structure Shift (MSS)
Break of Structure (BOS), also referred to as Market Structure Break (MSB)
Change of Characters indicate a shift in the market trend, confirming trend reversals. Break of Structures on the other hand occur once a trend is already determined, confirming new higher highs/lower lows.
Using higher length values allow users to detect longer-term fractals, thus highlighting longer-term market structures. The image above detects fractal patterns made of 7 candles, even if the increment is only of 2 bars this significantly reduces the amount of detected market structure labels.
The result obtained by utilizing fractals and higher settings can be a more dynamic view of market structure, however, as seen in the image above this can introduce very significant delay compared to utilizing pure swing points.
🔹 Support/Resistance
The indicator also returns support/resistance levels constructed from the market structure, these levels are obtained similarly to order blocks, finding the minimum on the interval of a bullish market structure and the maximum of a bearish market structure.
Price reaching a support/resistance level can be expected to bounce from it. Once a level is broken, the support/resistance level will no longer extend, and a circle will be displayed highlighting the break.
While utilizing this script for fractal-based market structure, these levels can be useful to ensure all swing points are still considered by the user with the possibility of the indicator missing reversals due to its calculation not being based on swing points themselves.
🔹 Dashboard
The dashboard reports the structure to fractal percentage, that is the amount of bullish/bearish market structures relative to the total amount of detected bullish/bearish fractal patterns.
This allows us to see how often a detected fractal pattern is used to display a market structure.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Fractals
In the context of technical analysis, Fractals refer to specific patterns that exhibit self-similarity at different scales or timeframes.
The most commonly known fractal pattern consists of a consecutive sequence of candles (more commonly 5), with the central candle being the lowest (in case of a bullish fractal) or highest (in case of a bearish fractal).
A bullish fractal has candles on the right side of the central candle with increasing lows, while candles on the left side have decreasing lows.
A bearish fractal has candles on the right side of the central candle with decreasing highs, while candles on the left side have increasing highs.

30MIN CYCLE█ HOW DOES IT WORK?
The known 90 min cycle is used as one killzone. But actually all 18 min are relevant to search for a trade. All 18 min when a new box starts only then is the placement of an order valid. If the entry candle isn't in a box then it will probably fail. The boxes should only be used in the M1 or M5 timeframe. The best hitrate is in the M1 timeframe. Included are the last 48 "Mini-Killzones" für intraday trading and backtesting. These "Mini-Killzones" can be used with the "Liquidity Inducement Strategy".
█ WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE?
This is the first indicator on tradingview that shows all mini-killzones for trading and backtesting a whole tradingday. The well-known killzones of ICT are from 08:00-11:00 and 14:00 - 17:00 (UTC+1) but with this indicator there is finally a refinement of the ICT Smart Money Concept killzones.
█ HOW TO USE IT?
For a proper use of this indicator we suggest to know already at least SMC or better Liquidity Indcuement Trading. This indicator is a further confluence before placing an order. After you made your setup you will have these mini-killzones as a confluence. We don't suggest to open a trade only according to this indicator.
█ ADDITIONAL INFO
This indicator is free to use for all tradingview users.

DWM HLOC, Mid & WicksSimple, yet effective.
1. Automatically calculate and projects key price levels from a previous period (Yesterday, OR Last Week / Month) onto the current trading session. It acts as an immediate Support & Resistance map based on historical price action.
2. Multi-Timeframe Logic
Modes --
Daily Mode: Projects yesterday's data onto today.
Weekly Mode: Projects last week's data onto the current week.
3. Key Levels Visualized The script calculates seven distinct price levels:
OHLC: Previous Open, High, Low, and Close.
Equilibrium (Mid): The exact 50% mark between the previous High and Low.
Wick Midpoints (New):
Upper Wick 50%: The midpoint between the High and the top of the body.
Lower Wick 50%: The midpoint between the Low and the bottom of the body.
4. Smart "Gap" Visualization The script uses unique starting points to help traders visualize market gaps:
Standard Levels (High, Low, Open, Mids): These lines originate from the Previous Period's Open, showing the full context of the level relative to time.
Close Level: This line originates from the Current Period's Open. This visually highlights the "Gap" (the jump in price between where the market closed previously and where it opened today).
5. Full Customization
Aesthetics: Every line can be individually toggled on/off.
Styling: Users can independently change the color, line style (Solid, Dotted, Dashed), and thickness for every specific level.

Smart Money Setup 08 [TradingFinder] Binary Options Gold Scalper🔵 Introduction
In the Smart Money methodology, the market is understood as a structure driven by liquidity flow. This structure forms through the movement of large orders, the accumulation of liquidity, and the reactions that occur around key price zones. The logic of Smart Money is based on the idea that price movement is not random and usually evolves with the intention of collecting liquidity and creating price inefficiencies known as imbalances.
Within this framework, several important stages including the liquidity sweep, the formation of a point of interest, the appearance of an imbalance and the transition of market structure play major roles and collectively define the broader direction of price.
In many bullish scenarios, the market begins by sweeping sell side liquidity and targeting important lows in order to collect the liquidity resting below them. This liquidity collection often becomes the starting point for creating a point of interest which usually marks the area where Smart Money begins to enter the market.
After price moves away from this point, it breaks a structural high and forms a change of character. This shift marks a transition in the balance of power between buyers and sellers and is considered the first clear signal that the market structure is changing.
After the change of character, new institutional order flow often creates a strong and rapid movement that leaves behind an imbalance. This imbalance is one of the most important elements in Smart Money analysis because price tends to return to this area in order to complete structure and restore balance.
The return into the imbalance becomes meaningful when it occurs together with the liquidity sweep, the presence of a validated point of interest and a confirmed structural transition. These conditions frequently mark the beginning of powerful movements within the Smart Money cycle.
Understanding the sequence of liquidity, point of interest, imbalance, change of character and market structure builds the foundation of Smart Money analysis and provides a clear view of the true direction of institutional strength.

To use this framework effectively, the trader must analyze the market through the principles of Smart Money and observe how liquidity drives price. A trade becomes valid only when several essential components appear together in a clear and consistent order.
These components include the liquidity sweep, the formation of a point of interest, the confirmation of a change of character, the transition of market structure and the return of price into an imbalance. The method is built on the understanding that the market first collects liquidity, then shifts order flow and finally provides an entry opportunity inside an inefficient area or inside a point of interest.
For this reason, the trader must follow the path of liquidity from the moment the sweep occurs, through the point of interest and the change of character and finally into the return of price toward the imbalance. When applied correctly, this approach creates entries that are more precise, more structural and more aligned with the real behavior of the market rather than with superficial signals.
🟣 Long Position
A bullish setup in Smart Money structure begins with a liquidity sweep on the sell side. The market first targets the areas where sell side liquidity is located and collects the stops and resting liquidity under previous lows. This collection is the condition that Smart Money requires to begin creating a new order flow. After this liquidity has been taken, a point of interest forms which is usually the last bearish candle or the effective demand zone that initiated the upward movement.
Price then moves away from the point of interest and breaks a structural high which creates a change of character. This event confirms that the market structure has moved from a bearish state to a bullish one and that buying pressure has taken control of the order flow. Following this shift, a strong upward movement often occurs and creates an imbalance between candles. This imbalance reflects the entrance of strong Smart Money orders and is seen as an important confirmation of bullish strength.
When price returns to this imbalance after the displacement, the market enters a phase where Smart Money aims to complete the corrective movement and continue the upward direction. The reaction inside the imbalance when combined with the liquidity sweep, the confirmed point of interest and the change of character completes the bullish setup and forms a structure that often leads to a continuation of the bullish trend.
🟣 Short Position
A bearish setup follows the same Smart Money logic but in the opposite direction. The market begins by collecting buy side liquidity and targets the highs where buy side liquidity and resting stops are located. This liquidity sweep on the buy side becomes the starting phase for Smart Money to initiate a downward order flow. After the liquidity is collected, a bearish point of interest forms which is usually the last bullish candle or the supply zone that created the initial drop.
Price then moves away from this point and breaks the first structural low. This creates a change of character to the downside which confirms that the market structure has transitioned from bullish to bearish and that selling pressure has gained control. After this shift, a strong downward displacement appears and leaves behind a bearish imbalance that clearly shows the dominance of sellers.
As price returns to this imbalance and corrects the inefficient movement, the bearish setup becomes complete as long as the market structure remains bearish. The combination of the buy side liquidity sweep, the bearish point of interest, the change of character, the imbalance and the corrective return creates the ideal structure that Smart Money uses to continue the downward movement and develop a reliable selling opportunity.

🟣 Alert Settings
Alert : Enables alerts for SMS08.
Message Frequency : Determines the frequency of alerts. Options include 'All' (every function call), 'Once Per Bar' (first call within the bar), and 'Once Per Bar Close' (final script execution of the real-time bar). Default is 'Once per Bar'.
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : Configures the time zone for alert messages. Default is 'UTC'.
🔵 Conclusion
The Smart Money approach demonstrates that price movement is not random or based on surface level patterns. Instead, it develops through a clear cycle of liquidity collection, structural transition and corrective movement toward key price zones. By recognizing events such as the liquidity sweep, the formation of the point of interest, the change of character and the return into the imbalance, the trader gains the ability to understand order flow more accurately and identify the true direction of market structure.
Both bullish and bearish setups show that the alignment of these elements creates a transparent view of institutional behavior and reveals the source of strong movements in the market. When the trader correctly identifies this sequence, entry points become more reliable and more aligned with liquidity flow. The combination of liquidity, structure and imbalance provides a consistent framework that removes guesswork and guides decisions through the real logic of the market.

Equal Highs/Lows Multi-Pivot [Julio]Equal Highs/Lows Multi-Pivot
Description
A sophisticated multi-timeframe pivot analysis tool that detects and highlights equal highs and equal lows across four different pivot lengths simultaneously. This indicator identifies price levels where the market creates identical extremes, a powerful signal of institutional support/resistance and potential reversal or breakout zones.
How It Works
Four Independent Pivot Streams
Pivot 1 (Intraday - 2 bars): Ultra-fast level detection for scalpers
Pivot 2 (Session - 4 bars): Short-term swing levels
Pivot 3 (Daily - 6 bars): Medium-term structural levels
Pivot 4 (Weekly - 9 bars): Long-term institutional levels
Equal High (EQH) Detection
Compares consecutive swing highs and draws a line when two highs are nearly identical within a defined threshold. The indicator uses ATR-based confluence to determine "equality," filtering out noise while catching true market structure.
Equal Low (EQL) Detection
Same logic applied to swing lows, identifying support zones where price repeatedly fails to break below previous lows.
Key Features
Four Simultaneous Timeframes: Analyze intraday, session, daily, and weekly structures all on one chart
ATR-Based Confluence Threshold: Automatically adjusts sensitivity based on current volatility (no fake signals)
Color-Coded Levels: Each pivot length has distinct colors for instant visual identification
Highs: Red, Orange, Yellow, Fuchsia
Lows: Green, Blue, Aqua, Purple
Confirmation Mode: Optional setting to wait for full pivot confirmation before marking levels
Customizable Alert Zones: Toggle individual pivot lengths on/off to reduce clutter
Smart Label Positioning: Labels auto-center between the two equal pivots for clarity
Ideal For
Swing traders tracking support/resistance across multiple timeframes
Scalpers identifying micro-structure for quick entries and exits
Market structure analysts studying institutional price action patterns
Multi-timeframe traders needing confluence from intraday to weekly levels
Anyone trading 1-minute to 4-hour charts
Trading Applications
Identify strong support/resistance zones: Equal levels = confirmed institutional levels
Confirm trend reversals: Multiple equal lows = strong accumulation zone; multiple equal highs = distribution
Plan entries with precision: Enter near equal levels for higher probability setups
Detect liquidity concentration: Where price repeatedly tests the same level
Multi-timeframe confluence: Look for equal levels across multiple pivot lengths for ultra-strong zones
How to Use
Identify the equal levels: Color-coded lines instantly show where price creates matching extremes
Check for confluence: Strong setups occur where multiple pivot lengths align
Wait for price action: Watch for breakouts through equal levels or reversals at these zones
Enter with structure: Use equal levels as entry/exit triggers combined with your trading methodology
Manage with confidence: These levels mark institutional decision points
Customization Options
Adjust pivot lengths to match your preferred timeframe structure
Set ATR threshold sensitivity (lower = stricter equality, higher = more signals)
Toggle confirmation mode for additional filter
Enable/disable individual pivot streams to reduce visual clutter
Customize colors to match your chart theme
Default Settings Optimized For
NASDAQ futures and liquid forex pairs
Intraday and swing trading (1-minute to 4-hour charts)

Trendshift [CHE]Trendshift — First-Shift Regime Turns with Premium/Discount Context
Summary
Trendshift highlights the first confirmed directional structure shift in price and overlays a premium or discount context based on the most recent structural range. It identifies the major swing levels, detects a regime transition when price closes beyond these levels with optional ATR-based conviction, and marks only the first shift per direction to reduce repetition and noise. The indicator then establishes a premium or discount band around the break and tints the background when price operates in either region. This produces a clean regime-aware view that emphasizes only the earliest actionable turn while maintaining contextual bias information.
Motivation: Why this design?
Conventional swing-based structure tools often fire repeated signals after each minor break, especially in volatile environments. This leads to cluttered charts and little informational value. Trendshift focuses on the core trading need: isolating the first confirmed change in directional structure and providing a premium or discount context after the break. By limiting signals to the initial flip and suppressing further markers until direction reverses again, the script reduces noise and highlights only the structural event that materially matters. The band logic further addresses the challenge of distinguishing contextual extremes and avoiding trades taken too late after a shift.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline reference: Most structure indicators repeatedly plot every new break of a swing high or swing low.
Differences:
Only the first confirmed bullish or bearish shift is plotted until the opposite direction occurs.
ATR-filtered breakout validation to reduce false breaks during volatility spikes.
A reduced premium and discount band derived from the breakout candle and prior swing structure.
Tinted background for contextual positioning rather than explicit entry signals.
Practical effect:
Fewer but more meaningful shift markers.
Clear visual context of where price operates relative to the structural band.
Cleaner regime transitions and less chart clutter.
How it works (technical)
The indicator continuously evaluates major swing highs and lows using a symmetric window length. When a swing is confirmed, the script stores its price and bar index. A structure shift occurs when price closes beyond the most recent major swing in the opposite direction. Optional ATR filtering requires the breakout distance to exceed an ATR-scaled threshold.
Upon a confirmed shift, the script sets a regime state that remains active until a new shift or an optional timeout. It also establishes a structural band anchored between the breakout candle extremum and the prior opposite swing. The band informs the premium and discount boundaries, each representing a quarter subdivision.
Only the first shift event per direction generates a visual triangle marker. The band is validated by comparing its height to ATR to avoid extremely narrow structures. Background tinting activates whenever price resides within the premium or discount zones. Persistent variables maintain previous structural states and prevent re-triggering until direction reverses.
Parameter Guide
Swing length (default 5): Controls the number of bars used on each side of a swing. Smaller values are more reactive; larger values reduce noise.
Use ATR filter (default true): Requires breakout strength beyond the swing to exceed an ATR-scaled threshold. Disabling increases signal frequency.
ATR length (default 14): Controls volatility estimation for breakout filtering and band validation.
Break ATR multiplier (default 1.0): Higher values require stronger breakouts, reducing false shifts.
Enable framework (default true): Activates the premium and discount context logic.
Persist band on timeout (default true): Retains the current band after a regime timeout.
Min band size ATR mult (default 0.5): Rejects extremely small bands and prevents unrealistic tinting.
Regime timeout bars (default 500): Resets the regime after extended inactivity.
Invert colors (default false): Swaps premium and discount tint color assignments.
Show zone tint (default true): Toggles background shading.
Show shift markers (default true): Enables or disables the first-shift triangles.
Reading & Interpretation
A green or red tint signals that price is operating in the discount or premium region of the most recent structural band. These regions are derived from the breakout event and the prior swing. A green triangle below a bar indicates the first bullish structure shift after a bearish regime. A red triangle above a bar indicates the first bearish shift after a bullish regime. No further markers appear until direction reverses. When tint is active, price location within the band offers simple contextual bias without providing explicit entries.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Treat the first bullish marker as the earliest confirmation of a potential up-regime and the first bearish marker for a potential down-regime. Use price location relative to the premium and discount zones as context for continuation or mean-reversion setups.
Structure-based execution: Combine with simple swing highs and lows to refine entry points within discount after a bullish shift or within premium after a bearish shift.
Higher-timeframe overlays: Apply the indicator on higher timeframes to define macro structure, then trade on lower timeframes using the band as a contextual anchor.
Risk management: When price stays in premium during a bearish regime or in discount during a bullish regime, consider protective actions or position management adjustments.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
The script uses only confirmed swing points and closed-bar conditions, so repainting from future bars does not occur except the inherent delay of pivot confirmation. No higher-timeframe security calls are used, avoiding HTF repaint paths.
Performance impact is minimal because the script uses no loops or arrays and relies on persistent variables. The maximum bars back setting is five-thousand, required for swing lookback. Known limitations include quiet behavior during long consolidations, occasional delayed recognition of shifts due to swing confirmation, and limited effectiveness during large market gaps where extremum logic may be distorted.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tunin g
Increase the swing length for smoother trend shifts and fewer signals.
Decrease the swing length for more sensitivity.
Raise the ATR breakout multiplier to reduce noise in volatile markets.
Lower the band size requirement to make premium and discount zones more active on slower markets.
Extend the regime timeout for slow-moving assets.

$TGM | Topological Geometry Mapper (Custom)TGM | Topological Geometry Mapper (Custom) – 2025 Edition
The first indicator that reads market structure the way institutions actually see it: through persistent topological features (Betti-1 collapse) instead of lagging price patterns.
Inspired by algebraic topology and persistent homology, TGM distills regime complexity into a single, real-time proxy using the only two macro instruments that truly matter:
• CBOE:VIX – market fear & convexity
• TVC:DXY – dollar strength & global risk appetite
When the weighted composite β₁ persistence drops below the adaptive threshold → market structure radically simplifies. Noise dies. Order flow aligns. A directional explosion becomes inevitable.
Features
• Structural Barcode Visualization – instantly see complexity collapsing in real time
• Dynamic color system:
→ Neon green = long breakout confirmed
→ red = short breakout confirmed
→ yellow = simplification in progress (awaiting momentum)
→ deep purple = complex/noisy regime
• Clean HUD table with live β₁ value, threshold, regime status and timestamp
• Built-in high-precision alerts (Long / Short / Collapse)
• Zero repaint – uses only confirmed data
• Works on every timeframe and every market
Best used on:
BTC, ETH, ES/NQ, EURUSD, GBPUSD, NAS100, SPX500, Gold – anywhere liquidity is institutional.
This is not another repainted RSI or MACD mashup.
This is structural regime detection at the topological level.
Welcome to the future of market geometry.
Made with love for the real traders.
Open-source. No paywalls. No BS.

Every Hour 1st/Last FVG vTDL OVERVIEW - Shoutout to Micheal J. Huddleston aka ICT
This indicator identifies the first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms within each trading hour, providing traders with potential entry zones, reversal points, and unmitigated gap targets. Based on the concept that the first presented FVG of each hour represents a significant price delivery array where institutional order flow occurred.
The indicator detects FVGs on a lower timeframe (1-minute default) and displays them as boxes on your chart, tracking which gaps get filled and which remain open as potential draw-on-liquidity targets.
WHAT IS A FAIR VALUE GAP
A Fair Value Gap is a 3-candle price pattern representing an imbalance between buyers and sellers:
Bullish FVG: Forms when candle 3's low is above candle 1's high, leaving a gap
Bearish FVG: Forms when candle 3's high is below candle 1's low, leaving a gap
These gaps often act as magnets for price, which tends to return and "fill" the imbalance before continuing. They function as dynamic support and resistance zones.
KEY FEATURES
Detection Types
FVG: Standard fair value gap detection with volume imbalance expansion
Suspension FVG Blocks: Requires outside prints on both sides for more refined signals
Hourly Display Modes
First Only: Shows whichever FVG appears first each hour (bullish or bearish)
Show Both: Shows first bullish AND first bearish FVG independently each hour
Last FVG Tracking
Optionally display the last FVG of each hour
Useful for comparing how the hour developed
Can extend into the next hour for continued tracking
Breakaway Gap Detection
Gaps not traded into during their formation hour extend forward
Extended gaps display labels showing formation time and date
These unmitigated gaps become price targets and reversal zones
Gap Fill Modes
Touch Box: Marks filled when price enters the gap
Touch Midpoint: Marks filled when price reaches the 50 percent level
Fill Completely: Marks filled when price fills the entire gap with visual progress
HOW TO USE
Entry Points
The first FVG of each hour provides potential entry zones based on price reaction:
When price returns to an FVG and shows rejection, enter in the direction of rejection
The gap zone represents where institutional orders likely reside
Use the boundaries of the gap for stop loss placement
A clean rejection of the zone confirms it as valid support or resistance
Reversal Points
Unmitigated gaps that extend beyond their formation hour are high-probability reaction zones:
Extended boxes with labels indicate unfilled gaps
When price finally reaches these zones, expect a reaction
The longer a gap remains unfilled, the stronger the expected response
These zones act as magnets drawing price back to them
Price Targets
Use unmitigated gaps as draw-on-liquidity targets:
Look for extended boxes above or below current price
Price tends to seek out and fill imbalances
The midpoint line often serves as a minimum target
Multiple unfilled gaps in one direction suggest strong momentum potential
FRAMING DIRECTIONAL BIAS
The first presented FVG of each hour acts as a support or resistance zone. The direction of the FVG itself does not determine bias - it is how price reacts to that FVG that reveals the true market intention.
Reading Price Reaction
Price respects a bullish FVG as support and bounces higher = bullish bias confirmed
Price respects a bearish FVG as resistance and rejects lower = bearish bias confirmed
Price fails to hold a bullish FVG and breaks through = potential inversion, look for shorts
Price fails to hold a bearish FVG and breaks through = potential inversion, look for longs
Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVG)
When price trades through an FVG and closes beyond it, that gap can invert its role:
A bullish FVG that fails becomes resistance - use it as a short entry zone
A bearish FVG that fails becomes support - use it as a long entry zone
The inversion signals a shift in control from one side to the other
Watch for price to retest the inverted gap before continuing
Support and Resistance Framework
Think of each hourly first FVG as a key level:
Price above the FVG: the gap acts as potential support
Price below the FVG: the gap acts as potential resistance
Watch how price behaves when it returns to the gap zone
A clean rejection confirms the level; a break through signals inversion
SHORT-TERM SCALPING APPLICATION
These FVGs provide scalping opportunities each hour:
Identify the first FVG of the hour as your key level
Wait for price to trade away from it and return
Observe the reaction at the gap zone
Enter in the direction of the reaction with tight risk
Target the next FVG, midpoint, or nearby liquidity
Trade Management
Use the opposite side of the FVG box as your stop loss zone
The midpoint of the gap often provides first target or decision point
Scale out at nearby unmitigated gaps or key levels
If the gap inverts, flip your bias and look for entries in the new direction
MULTI-HOUR CONTEXT
If price consistently respects FVGs as support across hours = uptrend context
If price consistently respects FVGs as resistance across hours = downtrend context
If FVGs keep inverting = choppy or transitional market
Use higher timeframe direction to filter which reactions to trade
Compare first and last FVG of each hour to see how momentum developed
SESSION FILTERING
The indicator automatically excludes unreliable periods:
4 PM to 5 PM New York time (market close hours 16-17)
Weekend closed periods (Saturday and Sunday before 6 PM)
All timestamps use New York timezone for consistency with futures market hours.

PRACTICAL TIPS
The first FVG of each hour is a hidden PD array - treat it as a significant level
Not every gap produces a tradeable reaction - wait for confirmation
Gaps that remain unfilled for multiple hours carry more weight
Use the Show Both mode to see both bullish and bearish opportunities each hour
When multiple gaps cluster in one zone, that area becomes even more significant
Inversions are powerful signals - a failed level often leads to acceleration
NOTES
Works on any instrument and timeframe
Best used on intraday charts (1 minute to 15 minute) viewing 1 minute LTF gaps
Combine with higher timeframe analysis for confluence
These are probability zones, not guarantees - always use proper risk management
The indicator handles HTF to LTF data fetching automatically
$MTF Fractal Echo DetectorMIL:MTVFR FRACTAL ECHO DETECTOR by Timmy741
The first public multi-timeframe fractal convergence system that actually works.
Market makers don’t move price randomly.
They test the same fractal structure on lower timeframes first → then execute the real move on higher timeframes.
This indicator catches the “echo” — when 3–5 timeframes are printing fractals at almost the exact same price level.
That’s not coincidence. That’s preparation.
FEATURES
• 5 simultaneous timeframes (1min → 4H by default)
• Real Williams Fractal detection (configurable period)
• Dynamic echo tolerance & minimum TF alignment
• Visual S/R zones from every timeframe
• Bullish / Bearish echo convergence signals
• Strength meter (3/5, 4/5, 5/5 TF alignment)
• Zero repainting — uses proper lookahead=off
• Fully Pine v6 typed + optimized
USE CASE
When you see a 4/5 or 5/5 echo:
→ That level is being defended or attacked with intent
→ 80%+ chance the next real move comes from there
→ Trade the breakout or reversal at that exact fractal cluster
Works insane on:
• BTC / ETH (all timeframes)
• Nasdaq / SPX futures
• Forex majors (especially GBP & gold)
• 2025 small-cap rotation setups
100% Open Source • MPL 2.0 • Built by Timmy741 • December 2024
If you know about fractal echoes… you already know.
