Weekly Range ProjectionsWeekly Range Projections
Inspired by toodegrees' excellent "ICT Friday's Asian Range" indicator
This indicator is a modified and enhanced version of the original Friday's Asian Range indicator created by toodegrees. While studying their brilliant work, I realized the concept could be expanded beyond just Friday's Asian session to create a more versatile tool for weekly price projections.
What's New?
I've transformed the original concept into a fully customizable range projection tool that allows traders to:
Select Any Day of the Week - Not limited to just Fridays anymore
Define Custom Time Ranges - Set your own start and end times to capture any session (Asian, London, New York, or custom ranges)
Flexible Deviation Levels - Choose between 1-9 standard deviations instead of the fixed 5
Toggle Body/Wick Ranges - Show or hide body and wick projections independently
Updated to Pine Script v6 - Taking advantage of the latest Pine Script features
How It Works
The indicator captures the price range (body and/or wick) during your specified time window on your chosen day, then projects standard deviation levels from that range. These levels often act as significant support/resistance throughout the week.
Use Cases
Weekly Opening Range - Capture Monday's opening range for week-long projections
Session-Based Analysis - Define any session on any day for targeted analysis
Multi-Timeframe Projections - Create different instances for various time ranges
ICT Concepts - Perfect for traders following ICT methodologies with customizable ranges

First FVG📘 Indicator Description (English)
First FVG – NY Open is a TradingView indicator designed to automatically identify the first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that appears during the New York session, following the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology.
It highlights institutional inefficiencies in price caused by imbalanced price action and helps traders spot high-probability entry zones, especially after the 9:30 AM EST (New York Open).
⚙️ How It Works
Session time: The indicator scans for FVGs starting at 9:32 AM (allowing 3 candles after the NY Open to form).
FVG Conditions:
Bullish FVG: When the high of 2 candles ago is lower than the low of the current candle and the middle candle is bullish.
Bearish FVG: When the low of 2 candles ago is higher than the high of the current candle and the middle candle is bearish.
Only the first FVG per session is drawn, as taught by ICT for setups like Judas Swing or NY Reversal models.
A colored box is drawn to represent the FVG zone.
A dotted horizontal line (CE) is drawn at the midpoint of the FVG box (Consequent Encroachment), a key level watched by smart money traders.
A dashed vertical line is drawn at 9:30 NY time to mark the open.
🧠 How to Use It
Wait for the NY Open (9:30 AM EST) – the indicator becomes active at 9:32 AM.
Watch for the first FVG box of the day. This is often a high-probability reaction zone.
Use the CE line (center of the FVG) as a reference for entries, rejections, or liquidity grabs.
Combine with market structure, PD Arrays, and liquidity concepts as taught by ICT for confluence.
The FVG box and CE line will extend forward for several candles for visual clarity.
🎛️ Customizable Settings

Order Block Overlapping Drawing [TradingFinder]🔵 Introduction
Technical analysis is a fundamental tool in financial markets, helping traders identify key areas on price charts to make informed trading decisions. The ICT (Inner Circle Trader) style, developed by Michael Huddleston, is one of the most advanced methods in this field.
It enables traders to precisely identify and exploit critical zones such as Order Blocks, Breaker Blocks, Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), and Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVGs).
To streamline and simplify the use of these key areas, a library has been developed in Pine Script, the scripting language for the TradingView platform. This library allows you to automatically detect overlapping zones between Order Blocks and other similar areas, and visually display them on your chart.
This tool is particularly useful for creating indicators like Balanced Price Range (BPR) and ICT Unicorn Model.
🔵 How to Use
This section explains how to use the Pine Script library. This library assists you in easily identifying and analyzing overlapping areas between Order Blocks and other zones, such as Breaker Blocks and Fair Value Gaps.
To add "Order Block Overlapping Drawing", you must first add the following code to your script.
import TFlab/OrderBlockOverlappingDrawing/1
🟣 Inputs
The library includes the "OBOverlappingDrawing" function, which you can use to detect and display overlapping zones. This function identifies and draws overlapping zones based on the Order Block type, trigger conditions, previous and current prices, and other relevant parameters.
🟣 Parameters
OBOverlappingDrawing(OBType , TriggerConditionOrigin, distalPrice_Pre, proximalPrice_Pre , distalPrice_Curr, proximalPrice_Curr, Index_Curr , OBValidGlobal, OBValidDis, MitigationLvL, ShowAll, Show, ColorZone) =>
OBType (string)
TriggerConditionOrigin (bool)
distalPrice_Pre (float)
proximalPrice_Pre (float)
distalPrice_Curr (float)
proximalPrice_Curr (float)
Index_Curr (int)
OBValidGlobal (bool)
OBValidDis (int)
MitigationLvL (string)
ShowAll (bool)
Show (bool)
ColorZone (color)
In this example, various parameters are defined to detect overlapping zones and draw them on the chart. Based on these settings, the overlapping areas will be automatically drawn on the chart.
OBType : All order blocks are summarized into two types: "Supply" and "Demand." You should input your Current order block type in this parameter. Enter "Demand" for drawing demand zones and "Supply" for drawing supply zones.
TriggerConditionOrigin : Input the condition under which you want the Current order block to be drawn in this parameter.
distalPrice_Pre : Generally, if each zone is formed by two lines, the farthest line from the price is termed Pervious "Distal." This input receives the price of the "Distal" line.
proximalPrice_Pre : Generally, if each zone is formed by two lines, the nearest line to the price is termed Previous "Proximal" line.
distalPrice_Curr : Generally, if each zone is formed by two lines, the farthest line from the price is termed Current "Distal." This input receives the price of the "Distal" line.
proximalPrice_Curr : Generally, if each zone is formed by two lines, the nearest line to the price is termed Current "Proximal" line.
Index_Curr : This input receives the value of the "bar_index" at the beginning of the order block. You should store the "bar_index" value at the occurrence of the condition for the Current order block to be drawn and input it here.
OBValidGlobal : This parameter is a boolean in which you can enter the condition that you want to execute to stop drawing the block order. If you do not have a special condition, you should set it to True.
OBValidDis : Order blocks continue to be drawn until a new order block is drawn or the order block is "Mitigate." You can specify how many candles after their initiation order blocks should continue. If you want no limitation, enter the number 4998.
MitigationLvL : This parameter is a string. Its inputs are one of "Proximal", "Distal" or "50 % OB" modes, which you can enter according to your needs. The "50 % OB" line is the middle line between distal and proximal.
ShowAll : This is a boolean parameter, if it is "true" the entire order of blocks will be displayed, and if it is "false" only the last block order will be displayed.
Show : You may need to manage whether to display or hide order blocks. When this input is "On", order blocks are displayed, and when it's "Off", order blocks are not displayed.
ColorZone : You can input your preferred color for drawing order blocks.
🟣 Output
Mitigation Alerts : This library allows you to leverage Mitigation Alerts to detect specific conditions that could lead to trend reversals. These alerts help you react promptly in your trades, ensuring better management of market shifts.
🔵 Conclusion
The Pine Script library provided is a powerful tool for technical analysis, especially in the ICT style. It enables you to detect overlapping zones between Order Blocks and other significant areas like Breaker Blocks and Fair Value Gaps, improving your trading strategies. By utilizing this tool, you can perform more precise analysis and manage risks effectively in your trades.
IPDA Standard Deviations [DexterLab x TFO x toodegrees]> Introduction and Acknowledgements
The IPDA Standard Deviations tool encompasses the Time and price relationship as studied by @TraderDext3r .
I am not the creator of this Theory, and I do not hold the answers to all the questions you may have; I suggest you to study it from Dexter's tweets, videos, and material.
This tool was born from a collaboration between @TraderDext3r, @tradeforopp and I, with the objective of bringing a comprehensive IPDA Standard Deviations tool to Tradingview.
> Tool Description
This is purely a graphical aid for traders to be able to quickly determine Fractal IPDA Time Windows, and trace the potential Standard Deviations of the moves at their respective high and low extremes.
The disruptive value of this tool is that it allows traders to save Time by automatically adapting the Time Windows based on the current chart's Timeframe, as well as providing customizations to filter and focus on the appropriate Standard Deviations.
> IPDA Standard Deviations by TraderDext3r
The underlying idea is based on the Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm's lookback windows on the daily chart as taught by the Inner Circle Trader:
IPDA looks at the past three months of price action to determine how to deliver price in the future.
Additionally, the ICT concept of projecting specific manipulation moves prior to large displacement upwards/downwards is used to navigate and interpret the priorly mentioned displacement move. We pay attention to specific Standard Deviations based on the current environment and overall narrative.
Dexter being one of the most prominent Inner Circle Trader students, harnessed the fractal nature of price to derive fractal IPDA Lookback Time Windows for lower Timeframes, and studied the behaviour of price at specific Deviations.
For Example:
The -1 to -2 area can initiate an algorithmic retracement before continuation.
The -2 to -2.5 area can initiate an algorithmic retracement before continuation, or a Smart Money Reversal.
The -4 area should be seen as the ultimate objective, or the level at which the displacement will slow down.
Given that these ideas stem from ICT's concepts themselves, they are to be used hand in hand with all other ICT Concepts (PD Array Matrix, PO3, Institutional Price Levels, ...).
> Fractal IPDA Time Windows
The IPDA Lookbacks Types identified by Dexter are as follows:
Monthly – 1D Chart: one widow per Month, highlighting the past three Months.
Weekly – 4H to 8H Chart: one window per Week, highlighting the past three Weeks.
Daily – 15m to 1H Chart: one window per Day, highlighting the past three Days.
Intraday – 1m to 5m Chart: one window per 4 Hours highlighting the past 12 Hours.
Inside these three respective Time Windows, the extreme High and Low will be identified, as well as the prior opposing short term market structure point. These represent the anchors for the Standard Deviation Projections.
> Tool Settings
The User is able to plot any type of Standard Deviation they want by inputting them in the settings, in their own line of the text box. They will always be plotted from the Time Windows extremes.
As previously mentioned, the User is also able to define their own Timeframe intervals for the respective IPDA Lookback Types. The specific Timeframes on which the different Lookback Types are plotted are edge-inclusive. In case of an overlap, the higher Timeframe Lookback will be prioritized.
Finally the User is able to filter and remove Standard Deviations in two ways:
"Remove Once Invalidated" will automatically delete a Deviation once its outer anchor extreme is traded through.
Manual Toggles will allow to remove the Upward or Downward Deviation of each Time Window at the discretion of the User.
Major shoutout to Dexter and TFO for their Time, it was a pleasure to collaborate and create this tool with them.
GLGT!
INSTITUTIONAL GHOST [Jorge's Algo]Here is the professional English translation for your TradingView publication. It uses the correct technical terminology (SMC, ICT, Order Flow) to attract serious traders.
Title: INSTITUTIONAL GHOST
Subtitle: The Institutional Footprint Algorithm: Liquidity, Structure, and Volume (CVD).
DESCRIPTION:
INSTITUTIONAL GHOST is not just an indicator; it is a complete vision system engineered to clear market noise and reveal only what matters: Where is the liquidity, and when are institutions entering?
Unlike conventional indicators that clutter your chart with colors and false signals, the Ghost Protocol operates on absolute minimalism. It only displays information when high-probability algorithmic conditions are met, based on Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD).
🔥 KEY FEATURES:
1. LIQUIDITY DETECTOR (Lr): The algorithm automatically identifies Major Swing Points where retail Stop Losses reside.
"Lr" Lines: Minimalist projections that act as magnets for price.
2. POWER SWEEPS (The Institutional Trap): Forget signal spam on every candle. This system filters noise and only marks a "Power Sweep" (Cyan Diamond) when:
Price sweeps a major liquidity level.
IMMEDIATE REJECTION: The candle closes in the opposite direction of the breakout (e.g., breaks high but closes bearish).
This confirms a Stop Hunt and rapid distribution.
3. CVD DIVERGENCE (The Lie Detector): In the background, the script calculates the Cumulative Volume Delta.
If a small "D" label appears above a Sweep, it means price made a New High/Low, but the Order Flow (real money) did not support it.
Signal: Confirmed Divergence = High probability reversal.
4. FVG GHOST LINES: Identification of Fair Value Gaps (Imbalances) without intrusive boxes. Only fine vertical lines connecting the gap, maintaining a "Clean Chart" aesthetic.
5. ICT MIDNIGHT OPEN: A discrete marker at the New York Open (00:00 NY) to determine the Daily Bias (Premium vs. Discount).
📋 HOW TO TRADE THIS ALGORITHM (THE MECHANICAL PLAN):
WAIT: Let price approach a Liquidity Line (Lr). Do not chase the price.
OBSERVE: Look for the appearance of the Cyan Diamond (Power Sweep). This indicates liquidity has been taken and rejected.
CONFIRM: If the "D" (Divergence) appears, the signal is "institutionally validated" by volume.
EXECUTE: Enter at the close of the Sweep candle or on the retest of the nearest FVG.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: This script was designed under the philosophy of "Less is More." If the chart is empty, it is because there is nothing to do. Patience pays.
Recommended Settings: M15, H1, H4 (Forex, Gold, Indices). Style: Minimalist / Zen.
[ST] Killzones - Minimal Killzones — Minimal
User Manual
1. Purpose of the Indicator
Killzones — Minimal is a session-based market structure tool designed to highlight the highest-liquidity time windows of the trading day.
Instead of generating signals, this indicator provides context by visually marking the ICT Killzones, allowing the trader to:
Identify where liquidity is built
See which session created the range
Anticipate where liquidity is likely to be taken
Align SMC / Wyckoff / Order Flow analysis with time-based institutional behavior
This tool is especially effective for Crypto, Forex, and Indices, where markets run continuously and liquidity cycles matter more than exchange open times.
2. Killzones Covered (São Paulo Time – UTC-3)
The indicator draws one minimal, dotted box per session:
Session Time (SP) Role in Market Structure
ASIA 21:00 – 03:00 Range formation & liquidity buildup
LONDON 04:00 – 07:00 First liquidity raid & manipulation
NEW YORK (Killzone) 10:00 – 13:00 True displacement & delivery
These are ICT Killzones, not official stock exchange open times.
3. Visual Design Philosophy
The indicator is intentionally minimalist:
Dotted borders → no visual clutter
Optional fill → focus on structure, not noise
No signals or arrows → forces contextual reading
One box per session → clean session boundaries
The goal is to let price action and liquidity tell the story, not indicators.
4. How the Boxes Behave
Each session box:
Starts on the first candle of the session
Expands dynamically to include the session High and Low
Stops updating once the session ends
Remains fixed on the chart as historical context
This allows you to instantly see:
Which session created the current range
Where stop-loss clusters are likely resting
Which session was manipulated or delivered price
5. How to Use the Indicator (Practical Workflow)
Step 1 — Identify the Current Session
Ask:
Are we inside Asia, London, or New York?
Your expectations should change depending on the session.
Step 2 — Read Session Intent
ASIA
Expect compression and balance
Focus on identifying Asia High / Asia Low
Avoid aggressive trades inside the range
LONDON
Look for liquidity raids on Asia High/Low
Many London moves are manipulative
A failed raid is often a setup for NY
NEW YORK
Look for true displacement
High probability of:
Continuation
Reversal after a sweep
Best session to execute trades
Step 3 — Trade Liquidity, Not Candles
Use the boxes as liquidity maps, not entries.
High-probability ideas come from:
Asia range being swept during London
London manipulation being reversed during NY
NY taking remaining liquidity and delivering direction
6. Example Use Cases
Setup 1 — Asia Range Sweep
Asia forms a tight range
London sweeps Asia High or Low
Price fails to continue
Market shifts structure
Entry on OB / FVG toward the opposite side
Setup 2 — London Manipulation → NY Delivery
London sweeps liquidity but stalls
New York opens
NY takes the opposite side liquidity
Strong displacement occurs
Entry on NY pullback
Setup 3 — Session Breakout
No sweep
Immediate strong displacement
Clean continuation
Trade only after confirmation
7. What NOT to Do
Do not trade inside the middle of session boxes
Do not assume every sweep means reversal
Do not force trades without structure shift
Do not treat sessions as signals
The indicator shows where to pay attention, not when to click Buy or Sell.
8. Best Confluence Tools
This indicator works best when combined with:
Market Structure (BOS / CHoCH)
Order Blocks
Fair Value Gaps
Liquidity pools
Volume-based candle analysis (e.g. CandleFlow)
9. Final Notes
Killzones — Minimal is a contextual framework, not a strategy.
If you wait for:
Liquidity to be taken
Structure to shift
Price to confirm intent
You will trade with the market narrative, not against it.
Time reveals intent. Liquidity confirms it.
Market Regime | NY Session Killzones Indicator [ApexLegion]Market Regime | NY Session Killzones Indicator
Introduction and Theoretical Background
The Market Regime | NY Session Killzones indicator is designed exclusively for New York market hours (07:00-16:00 ET). Unlike universal indicators that attempt to function across disparate global sessions, this tool employs session-specific calibration to target the distinct liquidity characteristics of the NY trading day: Pre-Market structural formation (08:00-09:30), the Morning breakout window (09:30-12:00), and the Afternoon Killzone (13:30-16:00)—periods when institutional order flow exhibits the highest concentration and most definable technical structure. By restricting its operational scope to these statistically significant time windows, the indicator focuses on signal relevance while filtering the noise inherent in lower-liquidity overnight or extended-hours trading environments.
I. TECHNICAL RATIONALE: THE PRINCIPLE OF CONTEXTUAL FUSION
1. The Limitation of Acontextual Indicators
Traditional technical indicators often fail because they treat every bar and every market session equally, applying static thresholds (e.g., RSI > 70) without regard for the underlying market structure or liquidity environment. However, institutional volume and market volatility are highly dependent on the time of day (session) and the prevailing long-term risk environment.
This indicator was developed to address this "contextual deficit" by fusing three distinct yet interdependent analytical layers:
• Time and Structure (Macro): Identifying high-probability trading windows (Killzones) and critical structural levels (Pre-Market Range, PDH/PDL).
• Volatility and Scoring (Engine): Normalizing intraday momentum against annual volatility data to create an objective, statistically grounded AI Score.
• Risk Management (Execution): Implementing dynamic, volatility-adjusted Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) parameters based on the Average True Range (ATR).
2. The Mandate for 252-Day Normalization (Z-Score)
What makes this tool unique is its 252-day Z-Score normalization engine that transforms raw momentum readings into statistically grounded probability scores, allowing the same indicator to deliver consistent, context-aware signals across any timeframe—from 1-minute scalping to 1-hour swing trades—without manual recalibration.
THE PROBLEM OF SCALE INVARIANCE
A high Relative Strength Index (RSI) reading on a 1-minute chart has a completely different market implication than a high RSI reading on a Daily chart. Simple percentage-based thresholds (like 70 or 30) do not provide true contextual significance. A sudden spike in momentum may look extreme on a 5-minute chart, but if it is statistically insignificant compared to the overall volatility of the last year, it may be a poor signal.
THE SOLUTION: CROSS-TIMEFRAME Z-SCORE NORMALIZATION
This indicator utilizes the Pine Script function request.security to reference the Daily timeframe for calculating the mean (μ) and standard deviation (σ) of a momentum oscillator (RSI) over the past 252 trading days (one year).
The indicator then calculates the Z-Score (Z) for the current bar's raw momentum (x): Z = (x - μ) / σ
Core Implementation: float raw_rsi = ta.rsi(close, 14) // x
= request.security(syminfo.tickerid, "D",
, // σ (252 days)
lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on)
float cur_rsi_norm = d_rsi_std != 0 ? (raw_rsi - d_rsi_mean) / d_rsi_std : 0.0 // Z
This score provides an objective measurement of current intraday momentum significance by evaluating its statistical extremity against the yearly baseline of daily momentum. This standardized approach provides the scoring engine with consistent, global contextual information, independent of the chart's current viewing timeframe.
II. CORE COMPONENTS AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS BREAKDOWN
1. TIME AND SESSION ANALYSIS (KILLZONES AND BIAS)
The indicator visually segments the trading day based on New York (NY) trading sessions, aligning the analysis with periods of high institutional liquidity events.
Pre-Market (PRE)
• Function: Defines the range before the core market opens. This range establishes structural support and resistance levels (PMH/PML).
• Technical Implementation: Uses a dedicated Session input (ny_pre_sess). The High and Low values (pm_h_val/pm_l_val) within this session are stored and plotted for structural reference.
• Smart Extension Logic: PMH/PML lines are automatically extended until the next Pre-Market session begins, providing continuous support/resistance references overnight.
NY Killzones (AM/PM)
• Function: Highlights high-probability volatility windows where institutional liquidity is expected to be highest (e.g., NY open, lunch, NY close).
• Technical Implementation: Separate session inputs (kz_ny_am, kz_ny_pm) are utilized to draw translucent background fills, providing a clear visual cue for timing.
Market Regime Bias
• Function: Determines the initial directional premise for the trading day. The bias is confirmed when the price breaks either the Pre-Market High (PMH) or the Pre-Market Low (PML).
• Technical Implementation: Involves the comparison of the close price against the predefined structural levels (check_h for PMH, check_l for PML). The variable active_bias is set to Bullish or Bearish upon confirmed breakout.
Trend Bar Coloring
• Function: Applies a visual cue to the bars based on the established regime (Bullish=Cyan, Bearish=Red). This visual filter helps mitigate noise from counter-trend candles.
• Technical Implementation: The Pine Script barcolor() function is tied directly to the value of the determined active_bias.
2. VOLATILITY NORMALIZED SCORING ENGINE
The internal scoring mechanism accumulates points from multiple market factors to determine the strength and validity of a signal. The purpose is to apply a robust filtering mechanism before generating an entry.
The score accumulation logic is based on the following factors:
• Market Bias Alignment (+3 Points): Points are awarded for conformance with the determined active_bias (Bullish/Bearish).
• VWAP Alignment (+2 Points): Assesses the position of the current price relative to the Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP). Alignment suggests conformity with the average institutional transaction price.
• Volume Anomaly (+2 Points): Detects a price move accompanied by an abnormally high relative volume (odd_vol_spike). This suggests potential institutional participation or significant order flow.
• VIX Integration (+2 Points): A score derived from the CBOE VIX index, assessing overall market stability and stress. Stable VIX levels add points, while high VIX levels (stress regimes) remove points or prevent signal generation entirely.
• ML Probability Score (+3 Points): This is the core predictive engine. It utilizes a Log-Manhattan Distance Kernel to compare the current market state against historical volatility patterns. The script implements a Log-linear distance formula (log(1 + |Δ|) ). This approach mathematically dampens the impact of extreme volatility spikes (outliers), ensuring that the similarity score reflects true structural alignment rather than transient market noise.
Core Technical Logic (Z-Score Normalization)
float cur_rsi_norm = d_rsi_std != 0 ? (raw_rsi - d_rsi_mean) / d_rsi_std : 0.0
• Technical Purpose: This line calculates the Z-Score (cur_rsi_norm) of the current momentum oscillator reading (raw_rsi) by normalizing it against the mean (d_rsi_mean) and standard deviation (d_rsi_std) derived from 252 days of Daily momentum data. If the standard deviation is zero (market is perfectly flat), it safely returns 0.0 to prevent division by zero runtime errors. This allows the AI's probability score to be based on the current signal's significance within the context of the entire trading year.
3. EXECUTION AND RISK MANAGEMENT (ATR MODEL)
The indicator utilizes the Average True Range (ATR) volatility model. This helps risk management scale dynamically with market volatility by allowing users to define TP/SL distances independently based on the current ATR.
Stop Loss Multiplier (sl_mult)
• Function: Sets the Stop Loss (SL) distance as a configurable multiple of the current ATR (e.g., 1.5 × ATR).
• Technical Logic: The price level is calculated as: last_sl_price := close - (atr_val * sl_mult). The mathematical sign is reversed for short trades.
Take Profit Multiplier (tp_mult)
• Function: Sets the Take Profit (TP) distance as a configurable multiple of the current ATR (e.g., 3.0 × ATR).
• Technical Logic: The price level is calculated as: last_tp_price := close + (atr_val * tp_mult). The mathematical sign is reversed for short trades.
Structural SL Option
• Function: Provides an override to the ATR-based SL calculation. When enabled, it forces the Stop Loss to the Pre-Market High/Low (PMH/PML) level, aligning the stop with a key institutional structural boundary.
• Technical Logic: The indicator checks the use_struct_sl input. If true, the calculated last_sl_price is overridden with either pm_h_val or pm_l_val, dependent on the specific trade direction.
Trend Continuation Logic
• Function: Enables signal generation in established, strong trends (typically in the Afternoon session) based on follow-through momentum (a new high/low of the previous bar) combined with a high Signal Score, rather than exclusively relying on the initial PMH/PML breakout.
• Technical Logic: For a long signal, the is_cont_long logic specifically requires checks like active_bias == s_bull AND close > high , confirming follow-through momentum within the established regime.
Smart Snapping & Cleanup (16:00 Market Close)
• Function: To maintain chart cleanliness, all trade boxes (TP/SL), AI Prediction zones, Killzone overlays (NY AM/PM), and Liquidity lines (PDH/PDL) are automatically "snapped" and cut off precisely at 16:00 NY Time (Market Close).
• Technical Logic: When is_market_close condition is met (hour == 16 and minute == 0), the script executes cleanup logic that:
◦ Closes active trades and evaluates final P&L
◦ Snaps all TP/SL box widths to current bar
◦ Truncates AI Prediction ghost boxes at market close
◦ Cuts off NY AM/PM Killzone background fills
◦ Terminates PDH/PDL line extensions
◦ Prevents visual clutter from extending into post-market sessions
4. LIQUIDITY AND STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
The indicator plots key structural levels that serve as high-probability magnet zones or areas of potential liquidity absorption.
• Pre-Market High/Low (PMH/PML): These are the high and low established during the configured pre-market session (ny_pre_sess). They define the primary structural breakout level for the day, often serving as the initial market inflection point or the key entry level for the morning session.
• PDH (Previous Day High): The high of the calendar day immediately preceding the current bar. This represents a key Liquidity Pool; large orders are often placed above this level, making it a frequent target for stop hunts or liquidity absorption by market makers.
• PDL (Previous Day Low): The low of the calendar day immediately preceding the current bar. This also represents a key Liquidity Pool and a high-probability reversal or accumulation point, particularly during the Killzones.
FIFO Array Management
The indicator uses FIFO (First-In-First-Out) array structures to manage liquidity lines and labels, automatically deleting the oldest objects when the count exceeds 500 to comply with drawing object limits.
5. AI PREDICTION BOX (PREDICTIVE MODEL)
Function: Analyzes AI scores and volatility to project predicted killzone ranges and duration with asymmetric directional bias.
A. DIRECTIONAL BIAS (ASYMMETRIC EXPANSION)
The prediction model calculates directional probability using the ML kernel's 252-day Normalized RSI (Z-Score) and Relative Volume (RVOL). The prediction box dynamically adjusts its range based on this probability to provide immediate visual feedback on high-probability direction.
Bullish Scenario (ml_prob > 1.0):
• Upper Range: Expands significantly (1.5x multiplier) to show the aggressive upside target
• Lower Range: Tightens (0.5x multiplier) to show the invalidation level
• Visual Intent: The box is visibly skewed upward, immediately communicating bullish bias without requiring numerical analysis.
Bearish Scenario (ml_prob < -1.0):
• Upper Range: Tightens (0.5x multiplier) to show the invalidation level
• Lower Range: Expands significantly (1.5x multiplier) to show the aggressive downside target
• Visual Intent: The box is visibly skewed downward, immediately communicating bearish bias.
Neutral Scenario (-1.0 < ml_prob < 1.0):
Both ranges use balanced multipliers, creating a symmetrical box that indicates uncertainty.
B. DYNAMIC VOLATILITY BOOSTER (SESSION-BASED ADAPTATION)
The prediction box adjusts its volatility multiplier based on the current session and market conditions to account for intraday volatility patterns.
AM Session (Morning: 07:00-12:00):
• Base Multiplier: 1.0x (Neutral Base)
• Logic: Morning sessions often contain false breakouts and noise. The base multiplier starts neutral to avoid over-projecting during consolidation.
• Trend Booster: Multiplier jumps to 1.5x when:
Price > London Session Open AND AI is Bullish (ml_prob > 0), OR
Price < London Session Open AND AI is Bearish (ml_prob < 0)
• Logic: When the London trend (typically 03:00-08:00 NY time) aligns with the AI model's directional conviction, the indicator aggressively targets higher volatility expansion. This filters for "institutional follow-through" rather than random morning chop.
PM Session (Afternoon: 13:00-16:00):
• Fixed Multiplier: 1.8x
• Logic: The PM session, particularly the 13:30-16:00 ICT Silver Bullet window, often contains the "True Move" of the day. A higher baseline multiplier is applied to emphasize this session's significance over morning noise.
Safety Floor:
A minimum range of 0.2% of the current price is enforced regardless of volatility conditions.
• Purpose: Maintains the prediction box visibility during extreme low-volatility consolidation periods where ATR might collapse to near-zero values.
Volatility Clamp Protection:
Maximum volatility is capped at three times the current ATR value. During flash crashes, circuit breaker halts, or large overnight gaps, raw volatility calculations can spike to extreme levels. This clamp prevents prediction boxes from expanding to unrealistic widths.
Technical Implementation:
f_get_ai_multipliers(float _prob) =>
float _abs_prob = math.abs(_prob)
float _range_mult = 1.0
float _dur_mult = 1.0
if _abs_prob > 30
_range_mult := 1.8
else if _abs_prob > 10
_range_mult := 1.2
else
_range_mult := 0.7
C. PRACTICAL INTERPRETATION
• Wide Upper Range + Tight Lower Range: Strong bullish conviction. The model expects significant upside with limited downside risk.
• Tight Upper Range + Wide Lower Range: Strong bearish conviction. The model expects significant downside with limited upside.
• Symmetrical Range: Neutral/uncertain market. Wait for directional confirmation before entry.
• Large Box (Extended Duration): High-confidence prediction expecting sustained movement.
• Small Box (Short Duration): Low-confidence or choppy conditions. Expect quick resolution.
III. PRACTICAL USAGE GUIDE: METHODOLOGY AND EXECUTION
A. ESTABLISHING TRADING CONTEXT (THE THREE CHECKS)
The primary goal of the dashboard is to filter out low-probability trade setups before they occur.
• Timeframe Selection: Although the core AI is normalized to the Daily context, the indicator performs optimally on intraday timeframes (e.g., 5m, 15m) where session-based volatility is most pronounced.
• PHASE Check (Timing): Always confirm the current phase. The highest probability signals typically occur within the visually highlighted NY AM/PM Killzones because this is when institutional liquidity and volume are at their peak. Signals outside these zones should be treated with skepticism.
• MARKET REGIME Check (Bias): Ensure the signal (BUY/SELL arrow) aligns with the established MARKET REGIME bias (BULLISH/BEARISH). Counter-bias signals are technically allowed if the score is high, but they represent a higher risk trade.
• VIX REGIME Check (Risk): Review the VIX REGIME for overall market stress. Periods marked DANGER (high VIX) indicate elevated volatility and market uncertainty. During DANGER regimes, reducing position size or choosing a wider SL Multiplier is advisable.
B. DASHBOARD INTERPRETATION (THE REAL-TIME STATUS DISPLAY)
The indicator features a non-intrusive dashboard that provides real-time, context-aware information based on the core analytical engines.
PHASE: (PRE-MARKET, NY-AM, LUNCH, NY-PM)
• Meaning: Indicates the current institutional session time. This is derived from the customizable session inputs.
• Interpretation: Signals generated during NY-AM or NY-PM (Killzones) are generally considered higher-probability due to increased institutional participation and liquidity.
MARKET REGIME: (BULLISH, BEARISH, NEUTRAL)
• Meaning: The established directional bias for the trading day, confirmed by the price breaking above the Pre-Market High (PMH) or below the Pre-Market Low (PML).
• Interpretation: Trading with the established regime (e.g., taking a BUY signal when the regime is BULLISH) is the primary method. NEUTRAL indicates that the PMH/PML boundary has not yet been broken, suggesting market ambiguity.
VIX REGIME: (STABLE, DANGER)
• Meaning: A measure of overall market stress and stability, based on the CBOE VIX index integration. The thresholds (20.0 and 35.0 default) are customizable by the user.
• Interpretation: STABLE indicates stable volatility, favoring momentum trades. DANGER (VIX > 35.0) indicates extreme stress; signals generated in this environment require caution and often necessitate smaller position sizing.
SIGNAL SCORE: (0 to 10+ Points)
• Meaning: The accumulated score derived from the VOLATILITY NORMALIZED AI SCORING ENGINE, factoring in bias, VWAP alignment, volume, and the Z-Score probability.
• Interpretation: The indicator generates a signal when this score meets or exceeds the Minimum Entry Score (default 3). A higher score (e.g., 7+) indicates greater statistical confluence and a stronger potential entry.
AI PROBABILITY: (Bull/Bear %)
• Meaning: Directional probability derived from the ML kernel, expressed as a percentage with Bull/Bear label.
• Interpretation: Higher absolute values (>20%) indicate stronger directional conviction from the ML model.
LIVE METRICS SECTION:
• STATUS: Shows current trade state (LONG, SHORT, or INACTIVE)
• ENTRY: Displays the entry price for active trades
• TARGET: Shows the calculated Take Profit level
• ROI | KILL ZONE:
◦ For Active Trades: Displays real-time P&L percentage during NY session hours.
◦ At Market Close (16:00 NY): Since this is a NY session-specific indicator, any active position is automatically evaluated and closed at 16:00. The final result (VALIDATED or INVALIDATED) is determined based on whether the trade reached profit or loss at market close.
◦ Result Persistence: The killzone result (VALIDATED/INVALIDATED) remains displayed on the dashboard until the next NY AM KILLZONE session begins, providing a clear performance reference for the previous trading day.
Note: If a trade is still trending at 16:00, it will be force-closed and evaluated at that moment, as the indicator operates strictly within NY trading hours.
C. SIGNAL GENERATION AND ENTRY LOGIC
The indicator generates signals based on two distinct technical setups, both of which require the accumulated SIGNAL SCORE to be above the configured Minimum Entry Score.
Breakout Entry
• Trigger Condition: Price closes beyond the Pre-Market High (PMH) or Low (PML).
• Rationale: This setup targets the initial directional movement for the day. A breakout confirms the institutional bias by decisively breaking the first major structural boundary, making the signal high-probability.
Continuation Entry
• Trigger Condition: The market is already in an established regime (e.g., BULLISH), and the price closes above the high (or below the low) of the previous bar, while the SIGNAL SCORE remains high. Requires the Allow Trend Continuation parameter to be active.
• Rationale: This setup targets follow-through trades, typically in the afternoon session, capturing momentum after the morning's direction has been confirmed. This filters for sustainability in the established trend.
Execution: Execute the trade immediately upon the close of the bar that prints the BUY or SELL signal arrow.
D. MANAGING RISK AND EXITS
1. RISK PARAMETER SELECTION
The indicator immediately draws the dynamic TP/SL zones upon entry.
• Volatility-Based (Recommended Default): By setting the SL Multiplier (e.g., 1.5) and the TP Multiplier (e.g., 3.0), the indicator enforces a constant, dynamically sized risk-to-reward ratio (e.g., 1:2 in this example). This helps that risk management scales proportionally with the current market volatility (ATR).
• Structural Override: Selecting the Use Structural SL parameter fixes the stop-loss not to the ATR calculation, but to the more significant structural level of the PMH or PML. This is utilized by traders who favor institutional entry rules where the stop is placed behind the liquidity boundary.
2. EXIT METHODS
• Hard Exit: Price hits the visual TP or SL box boundary.
• Soft Exit (Momentum Decay Filter): If the trade is active and the SIGNAL SCORE drops below the Exit Score Threshold (default 3), it indicates that the momentum supporting the trade has significantly collapsed. This serves as a momentum decay filter, prompting the user to consider a manual early exit even if the SL/TP levels have not been hit, thereby preserving capital during low-momentum consolidation.
• Market Close Auto-Exit: At 16:00 NY time, any active trade is automatically closed and classified as VALIDATED (profit) or INVALIDATED (loss) based on current price vs. entry price.

🔔 ALERT CONFIGURATION GUIDE
The indicator is equipped with specific alert conditions.
How to Set Up an Alert:
Click the "Alert" (Clock icon) in the top TradingView toolbar.
Select "Market Regime NY Session " from the Condition dropdown menu.
Choose one of the specific trigger conditions below depending on your strategy:
🚀 Available Alert Conditions
1. BUY (Long Entry)
Trigger: Fires immediately when a confirmed Bullish Setup is detected.
Conditions: Market Bias is Bullish (or valid Continuation) + Signal Score ≥ Minimum Entry Score.
Usage: Use this alert to open new Long positions or close existing Short positions.
2. SELL (Short Entry)
Trigger: Fires immediately when a confirmed Bearish Setup is detected.
Conditions: Market Bias is Bearish (or valid Continuation) + Signal Score ≥ Minimum Entry Score.
Usage: Use this alert to open new Short positions or close existing Long positions.
V. IMPORTANT TECHNICAL LIMITATIONS
⚠️ Intraday Only (Timeframe Compatibility)
This indicator is strictly designed for Intraday Timeframes (1m to 4h).
Daily/Weekly Charts: The session logic (e.g., "09:30-16:00") cannot function on Daily bars because a single bar encompasses the entire session. Session boxes, TP/SL zones, and AI prediction boxes will NOT draw on the Daily timeframe. Only the PDH/PDL liquidity lines remain visible on Daily charts. This is expected behavior, not a limitation.
Maximum Supported Timeframe: All visual components (session boxes, killzone overlays, TP/SL zones, AI prediction boxes) are displayed up to the 4-hour timeframe. Above this timeframe, only PDH/PDL lines and the dashboard remain functional.
⚠️ Drawing Object Limit (Max 500)
A single script can display a maximum of 500 drawing objects (boxes/lines) simultaneously.
On lower timeframes (e.g., 1-minute), where many signals and session boxes are generated, older history (typically beyond 10-14 days) will automatically disappear to make room for new real-time data.
For deeper historical backtesting visualization, switch to higher timeframes (e.g., 15m, 1h).
The indicator implements FIFO array management to comply with this limit while maintaining the most recent and relevant visual data.
VI. PRACTICAL TRADING TIPS AND BEST PRACTICES
• Killzone Confirmation: The highest statistical validity is observed when a high-score signal occurs directly within a visible NY AM/PM Killzone. Use the Killzones as a strict time filter.
• Liquidity Awareness (PDH/PDL): Treat the Previous Day High (PDH) and Low (PDL) lines as magnets. If your dynamic Take Profit (TP) is placed just above PDH, consider adjusting your target slightly below PDH or utilizing the Soft Exit, as liquidity absorption at these levels often results in sudden, sharp reversals that stop out a trade just before the target is reached.
• VIX as a Position Sizer: During DANGER VIX regimes, the resulting high volatility means the ATR value will be large. It is prudent to either reduce the SL Multiplier or, more commonly, reduce the overall position size to maintain a constant currency risk exposure per trade.
• Continuation Filter Timing: Trend Continuation signals are most effective during the Afternoon (PM) session when the morning's directional breakout has had time to establish a strong, clear, and sustainable trend. Avoid using them in the initial AM session when the direction is still being contested.
• 16:00 Market Close Rule: All trades, boxes, and lines are automatically cleaned up at 16:00 NY time. This prevents overnight chart clutter and maintains visual clarity.
VII. DISCLAIMER & RISK WARNINGS
• Educational Purpose Only
This indicator, including all associated code, documentation, and visual outputs, is provided strictly for educational and informational purposes. It does not constitute financial advice, investment recommendations, or a solicitation to buy or sell any financial instruments.
• No Guarantee of Performance
Past performance is not indicative of future results. All metrics displayed on the dashboard (including "ROI" and trade results) are theoretical calculations based on historical data. These figures do not account for real-world trading factors such as slippage, liquidity gaps, spread costs, or broker commissions.
• High-Risk Warning
Trading cryptocurrencies, futures, and leveraged financial products involves a substantial risk of loss. The use of leverage can amplify both gains and losses. Users acknowledge that they are solely responsible for their trading decisions and should conduct independent due diligence before executing any trades.
• Software Limitations
The software is provided "as is" without warranty. Users should be aware that market data feeds on analysis platforms may experience latency or outages, which can affect signal generation accuracy.
PSP (Precision Swing Point - CIC SMT)PSP SMT – Correlation Stages Indicator
The PSP SMT – Correlation Stages indicator is designed to identify Smart Money divergences (SMT) between correlated markets through a progressive, stage-based model.
It visually classifies price behavior into correlation stages, helping traders detect early imbalance, confirmation, and distribution phases used by institutional participants.
By comparing a primary asset with a correlated symbol, the indicator highlights loss of correlation, displacement, and confirmation signals, offering a structured framework to anticipate potential reversals or continuations within ICT-based market models.
Ideal for traders who apply ICT concepts, intermarket analysis, and liquidity-based strategies, the PSP SMT enhances timing, context, and confidence in decision-making.
15M Swing Sweep Lines + SMT (ES vs NQ)15M Swing Sweep Lines (NY Killzones)Visualize liquidity sweeps of 15-minute swing highs/lows exclusively during high-impact London & New York killzones.This ICT-inspired indicator detects when price sweeps (wicks beyond) the most recent confirmed 15-minute swing high or low — classic signs of liquidity raids or stop hunts — but only if the sweep happens during key "killzone" sessions where institutional activity is typically highest.Key Features15M Swing Detection: Uses confirmed pivot highs/lows (length 2) on the 15-minute timeframe for reliable structure points.
Killzone Filters (New York time):London Killzone: 3:00 AM – 4:59 AM
New York Killzone: 9:30 AM – 10:59 AM (captures the high-volatility NY open overlap)
Sweep Visualization:Bearish Sweep (high > last 15M swing high): Thick red horizontal line from the swing point to the sweep bar.
Bullish Sweep (low < last 15M swing low): Thick green horizontal line from the swing point to the sweep bar.
Lines use xloc.bar_time for precise placement and extend only to the bar where the sweep occurs.
No duplicates: Prevents multiple lines for the same swing sweep.
Non-repainting logic with lookahead_off for clean, trustworthy signals.
Why Killzones MatterMany ICT/SMC traders focus on these windows because they often feature aggressive manipulation, equal highs/lows sweeps, and the setup for strong directional moves. This tool helps you instantly spot when buy-side or sell-side liquidity has been raided on the 15M structure during these prime times.Ideal ForConfirming potential reversals or inducements after liquidity grabs.
Adding confluence to entries during London or NY sessions.
Futures traders (ES, NQ, etc.) looking for clean visual cues of smart money engineering.
Lightweight, overlay-friendly, and focused — add it to your chart for clearer insight into 15M liquidity sweeps when it matters most. Perfect companion for killzone-based strategies!
FX OSINT - Institutional Midnight Intelligence For ForexFX OSINT — Institutional Midnight Intelligence For Forex
See Your FX Charts Like an Intelligence Briefing, Not a Guess
If you’ve ever stared at EURUSD or GBPJPY and thought:
Where is the real liquidity?
Is this move sponsored by smart money or just noise?
Am I buying into premium or discount?
…then FX OSINT is designed for you.
FX OSINT (Forex Open Source Intelligence) treats the FX market the way an analyst treats an investigation:
Collect open‑source signals from price, time, and volatility.
Map out liquidity, structure, and sessions in a repeatable way.
Present them in a clean, non‑cluttered dashboard so you can read context quickly.
No rainbow spaghetti. No 12 indicators stacked on top of each other. Just structured information, midnight visuals, and a clear read on what the market is doing right now.
Why FX OSINT Exists
Many FX traders run into the same problems:
Overloaded charts – multiple indicators fighting for space, none talking to each other.
Signals with no context – arrows that ignore structure, sessions, and liquidity.
Tools not tuned for FX – generic indicators that don’t care what pair you are on.
FX OSINT brings this together into one FX‑focused framework that:
Understands structure : BOS/CHOCH, swings, and trend across multiple timeframes.
Respects liquidity : sweeps, order blocks, and FVGs with controlled visibility.
Reads volatility & ADR : how far today’s range has developed.
Knows the clock : London, New York, and key killzones.
Scores confluence : a 0–100 engine that summarizes how much is lining up.
FX OSINT is built for traders who want structured, institutional‑style logic with a disciplined, midnight‑themed UI —not flashing buy/sell buttons.
1. Midnight Dashboard — Top‑Right Intelligence Panel
This panel acts as your compact “situation room”:
CONFLUENCE — 0–100 score blending trend alignment, volatility regime, sessions, liquidity events, order blocks, FVGs, and ADR context.
REGIME — Low / Building / Normal / Expansion / Extreme, driven by ATR relationships, so you know if you’re in chop, trend, or expansion.
HTF / MTF / LTF TREND — Higher‑, medium‑, and current‑timeframe bias in one place, so you see if you are trading with or against the larger flow.
ADR USED — How much of today’s typical range has already been consumed in percentage terms.
PIP VALUE — Approximate pip size per pair, including JPY‑style pairs.
Everything is bold, legible, and color‑coded, but the layout stays minimal so you can:
Look once → understand the context.
2. Structure, BOS, CHOCH — Smart‑Money‑Style Skeleton
FX OSINT tracks swing highs and lows, then shows how structure evolves:
Trend logic based on evolving swings, not just a moving average cross.
BOS (Break of Structure) when price expands in the direction of trend.
CHOCH (Change of Character) when behavior flips and the market structure changes.
Labels are selective, not spammy . You don’t get a tag on every minor wiggle—only when structure meaningfully shifts, so it’s easier to answer:
"Are we continuing the current leg, or did something actually change here?"
3. Liquidity Sweeps, Order Blocks & FVGs — The OSINT Layer
FX OSINT treats liquidity as a key information layer:
Liquidity sweeps — Detects when price spikes through recent highs/lows and then snaps back, flagging potential stop runs.
Order blocks — The last opposite candle before a displacement move, drawn as controlled boxes with limited lifespan to avoid clutter.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) — Three‑candle imbalances rendered as precise zones with a cap on how many can exist at once.
Under the hood, boxes are managed so your chart does not become a wall of old zones:
// Draw Order Blocks with overlap prevention
if isBullishOB and showOrderBlocks
if array.size(obBoxes) >= maxBoxes
oldBox = array.shift(obBoxes)
box.delete(oldBox)
newBox = box.new(bar_index , low , bar_index + obvLength, high ,
border_color = bullColor, bgcolor = bullColorTransp,
border_width = 2, extend = extend.none)
array.push(obBoxes, newBox)
Box limits keep the number of zones under control.
Borders and transparency are tuned so you still see price clearly.
You end up with a curated liquidity map , rather than a chart buried under every level price has ever touched.
4. Volatility, ADR & Sessions — Time and Range Intelligence
FX OSINT runs a Volatility Regime Analyzer and an ADR engine in the background:
Volatility regime — Five states (Low → Extreme) derived from fast vs. slow ATR.
ADR bands — Daily high/mid/low projected from the current daily open.
ADR used % — How far today’s move has traveled relative to its typical range.
On the time side:
Asia, London, New York sessions are softly highlighted with a single active background to avoid overlapping colors.
Killzones (e.g., London and New York opens) can be emphasized when you want to focus on where significant moves often begin.
Together, this helps you answer:
"What time is it in the trading day?"
"How stretched are we?"
"Is expansion just starting, or are we late to the move?"
5. ICT‑Style Add‑Ons — BOS/CHOCH, Premium/Discount, and Confluence
For modern FX / ICT‑inspired workflows, FX OSINT includes:
BOS / CHOCH labels — Clear structural shifts based on swings.
Premium / Discount zones — 25%, 50%, 75% levels of the daily range, so you know if you are buying discount in an uptrend or selling premium in a downtrend.
Confluence score — A single number summarizing how many conditions line up in the current context.
Instead of replacing your plan, FX OSINT compresses your checklist into the chart:
Structure
Liquidity
Session / Time
Volatility / ADR
Higher‑timeframe alignment
When these agree, the dashboard reflects it. When they don’t, it stays neutral and lets you see the conflict.
How To Use FX OSINT
FX OSINT is not a signal bot. It is an information engine that organizes context so you can apply your own plan.
A typical workflow might look like:
Start on higher timeframes (e.g., H4/D1) to form directional bias from structure, volatility regime, and ADR context.
Move to intraday timeframes (e.g., M15/H1) around your chosen sessions (London and/or New York).
Look for confluence :
HTF / MTF / LTF trends aligned.
Price in discount for longs or premium for shorts.
Recent liquidity sweep into a meaningful OB or FVG.
Confluence score at or above a level you consider significant.
Then refine entries using BOS/CHOCH on lower timeframes according to your own risk and execution rules.
FX OSINT aims to make sure you do not enter a trade without seeing:
Where you are in the day (ADR and sessions).
Where you are in the volatility cycle (regime).
Who currently appears in control (structure and trend).
Which liquidity was just targeted (sweeps and zones).
Design Choices and Scope
FX OSINT was designed around a few clear constraints:
FX‑focused — Logic and filters tuned for FX majors, minors, exotics, and metals. It is intended for FX markets, not for every possible asset class.
Open‑source — The full Pine Script code is available so you can read it, learn from it, and adapt it to your own workflow if needed.
Clear themes — Two main visual styles (e.g., dark institutional “midnight” and a lighter accent variant) with a focus on readability, not visual noise.
Chart‑friendly — Panels use fixed areas, session highlights avoid overlapping, and boxes are capped/pruned so the chart remains usable.
FX OSINT is for only Forex pairs, not anything else!
Hope you enjoyed and remember your Open Source Intelligence Matters 😉!

1. ภาพรวมการทำงาน (Overview)
อินดิเคเตอร์ตัวนี้ทำหน้าที่ 4 อย่างหลักพร้อมกัน:
Auto DST (ปรับเวลาตามฤดูอัตโนมัติ): คุณไม่ต้องมานั่งแก้เวลาเมื่อตลาดต่างประเทศเปลี่ยนเวลา (Daylight Saving Time) เพราะโค้ดอ้างอิง Timezone ของตลาดนั้นๆ โดยตรง (เช่น NY ใช้ America/New_York)
Session Bars: แสดงแถบสีเล็กๆ ด้านล่างจอเพื่อบอกว่าตอนนี้อยู่ใน Session ไหน (Asia, London, NY AM, NY PM, Thai) แทนการถมสีพื้นหลังซึ่งอาจจะรกตา
High/Low Levels & Sweeps: เมื่อจบ Session โปรแกรมจะตีเส้น High และ Low ของช่วงเวลานั้นทิ้งไว้ ถ้ากราฟวิ่งไปชนเส้นเหล่านั้น (Breakout/Sweep) เส้นจะเปลี่ยนเป็นเส้นประและขึ้นข้อความว่า "(Swept)"
1. Indicator Overview and Purpose (ICT/SMC Framework)
This custom Pine Script indicator is designed specifically for traders utilizing ICT (Inner Circle Trader) or SMC (Smart Money Concepts) methodologies. Its primary function is to simplify the analysis of Time & Price by automatically defining and tracking key market sessions, their resulting liquidity levels (High/Low), and detecting liquidity sweeps (Stop Hunts).
The indicator is designed to be Zero-Maintenance regarding time zones, as it automatically adjusts for Daylight Saving Time (DST) changes in major financial centers (London, New York).
2. Key Features and Logic
A. Automatic DST Handling (Auto-DST)
The script uses specific, location-based time zones for global markets instead of a fixed GMT/UTC offset.
Asia: Uses Asia/Tokyo.
London: Uses Europe/London (Automatically adjusts for BST).
New York (AM/PM): Uses America/New_York (Automatically adjusts for EST/EDT).
This guarantees that the session times displayed on your chart (regardless of your local time, e.g., Thailand GMT+7) always align with the actual opening and closing moments of the corresponding financial market.
Market Maker Position Bars (Position Size)**Market Maker Position Bars (Position Size) – Indicator Description for TradingView**
This indicator is a clean, professional visualization tool designed for traders who track suspected **market maker / institutional positioning** (especially popular in ICT/SMC communities) on indices like the SPX, NDX, ES, etc.
It draws up to **20 horizontal position bars** directly on the chart, anchored to the very last bar, representing hypothetical long and short positions at specific price levels with corresponding position sizes.
### Key Features & Visual Logic
- **Green bars (Boxes 1–10)** → Extend to the **right** of the last bar
Represent **long positions** (bullish interest)
Default translucent green fill
- **Red bars (Boxes 11–20)** → Extend to the **left** of the last bar
Represent **short positions** (bearish interest)
Default translucent red fill
- **Bar width = Position size**
The length of each box is automatically scaled based on the absolute value you enter in “Position Size”.
Larger position → wider (longer) bar
- Each box displays **Price / Position Size** text inside (e.g., `5720.50 / 1250`)
### Fully Customizable Settings
**Global Geometry**
- Total Box Height (default 10.0) – controls vertical thickness of all boxes
**Position Size Scaling**
- Base Box Width (bars)
- Width per Position Unit – fine-tune how aggressively width grows with size
- Minimum & Maximum Bar Width – prevents boxes from becoming too tiny or excessively long
**Global Text Settings**
- Text color, size (Tiny → Huge), and bold option
**Individual Box Controls (20 independent boxes)**
- Show/Hide toggle
- SPX Price (or any symbol price level)
- Position Size (any positive/negative number; absolute value determines width)
- Fill color (override default green/red if desired)
### How It Works Internally
- All boxes are drawn only on the **last confirmed bar** (`barstate.islast`)
- Width calculation:
`Width = BaseWidth + (|Position Size| × Width per Unit)`
Clamped between Min and Max Bar Width
- Green boxes start at the current bar and extend forward (right)
- Red boxes end at the current bar and extend backward (left)
- Uses Pine Script v6 `box.new()` with `xloc.bar_index` for perfect alignment and performance
### Ideal Use Cases
- Visualizing daily/weekly **order block** or **fair value gap** interest levels with estimated size
- Mapping **dealer positioning**, gamma exposure levels, or large options interest
- Quickly seeing where the “smart money” is theoretically stacked on both sides of the market
- Clean chart markup for screenshots, mentoring, or live trading journals

HD Trades📊 ICT Confluence Toolkit (FVG, OB, SMT)
This All-in-One indicator is designed for Smart Money Concepts (SMC) traders, providing visual confirmation and signaling for three critical Inner Circle Trader (ICT) tools directly on your chart: Fair Value Gaps (FVG), Order Blocks (OB), and Smart Money Technique (SMT) Divergence.
It eliminates the need to load multiple indicators, streamlining your analysis for high-probability setups.
🔑 Key Features
1. Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Automatic Detection: Instantly highlights bullish (buy-side) and bearish (sell-side) imbalances using the standard three-candle pattern.
Real-Time Mitigation: Gaps are drawn until price trades into the FVG zone, at which point the indicator automatically "mitigates" and removes the box, ensuring your chart stays clean.
2. Order Blocks (OB)
Impulse-Based Logic: Identifies valid Order Blocks (the last opposing candle) confirmed by a strong, structure-breaking impulse move, quantified using an Average True Range (ATR) multiplier for dynamic sensitivity.
Mitigation Tracking: Bullish OBs are tracked until broken below the low, and Bearish OBs until broken above the high, distinguishing between active supply/demand zones.
3. SMT Divergence (Smart Money Technique)
Multi-Asset Comparison: Utilizes the Pine Script request.security() function to compare the swing structure of the current chart against a correlated asset (e.g., EURUSD vs. GBPUSD, or ES vs. NQ).
Signal Labels: Plots clear 🐂 SMT (Bullish) or 🐻 SMT (Bearish) labels directly on the chart when a divergence in market extremes is detected, signaling a potential reversal or continuation based on internal market weakness.
⚙️ Customization
All three components are toggleable and feature customizable colors and lookback periods, allowing you to fine-tune the indicator to your specific trading strategy and preferred timeframes.
Crucial Setup: For SMT Divergence to function, you must enter a correlated symbol (e.g., NQ1!, ES1!, or a related Forex pair) in the indicator settings.
Chop + MSS/FVG Retest (Ace v1.6) – IndicatorWhat this indicator does
Name: Chop + MSS/FVG Retest (Ace v1.6) – Indicator
This is an entry model helper, not just a BOS/MSS marker.
It looks for clean trend-side setups by combining:
MSS (Market Structure Shift) using swing highs/lows
3-bar ICT Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
First retest back into the FVG
A built-in chop / trend filter based on ATR and a moving average
When everything lines up, it plots:
L below the candle = Long candidate
S above the candle = Short candidate
You pair this with a higher-timeframe filter (like the Chop Meter 1H/30M/15M) to avoid pressing the button in garbage environments.
How it works (simple explanation)
Chop / Trend filter
Computes ATR and compares each bar’s range to ATR.
If the bar is small vs ATR → more likely CHOP.
If the bar is big vs ATR → more likely TREND.
Uses a moving average:
Above MA + TREND → trendLong zone
Below MA + TREND → trendShort zone
MSS (Market Structure Shift)
Uses swing highs/lows (left/right bars) to track the last significant high/low.
Bullish MSS: close breaks above last swing high with displacement.
Bearish MSS: close breaks below last swing low with displacement.
Those events are marked as tiny triangles (MSS up/down).
A MSS only stays “valid” for a certain number of bars (Bars after MSS allowed).
3-bar ICT FVG
Bullish FVG: low > high
→ gap between bar 3 high and bar 2 low.
Bearish FVG: high < low
→ gap between bar 3 low and bar 2 high.
The indicator stores the FVG boundaries (top/bottom).
Retest of FVG
Watches for price to trade back into that gap (first touch).
That retest is the “entry zone” after the MSS.
Final Long / Short condition
Long (L) prints when:
Recent bullish MSS
Bullish FVG has formed
Price retests the bullish FVG
Environment = trendLong (ATR + above MA)
Not CHOP
Short (S) prints when:
Recent bearish MSS
Bearish FVG has formed
Price retests the bearish FVG
Environment = trendShort (ATR + below MA)
Not CHOP
So the L/S markers are “model-approved entry candles”, not just any random BOS.
Inputs / Settings
Key inputs you’ll see:
ATR length (chop filter)
How many bars to use for ATR in the chop / trend filter.
Lower = more sensitive, twitchy
Higher = smoother, slower to change
Max chop ratio
If barRange / ATR is below this → treat as CHOP.
Min trend ratio
If barRange / ATR is above this → treat as TREND.
Hide MSS/BOS marks in CHOP?
ON = MSS triangles disappear when the bar is classified as CHOP
Keeps your chart cleaner in consolidation
Swing left / right bars
Controls how tight or wide the swing highs/lows are for MSS:
Smaller = more sensitive, more MSS points
Larger = fewer, more significant swings
Bars after MSS allowed
How many bars after a MSS the indicator will still allow FVG entries.
Small value (e.g. 10) = MSS must deliver quickly or it’s ignored.
Larger (e.g. 20) = MSS idea stays “in play” longer.
Visual RR (for info only)
Just for plotting relative risk-reward in your head.
This is not a strategy tester; it doesn’t manage positions.
What you see on the chart
Small green triangle up = Bullish MSS
Small red triangle down = Bearish MSS
“L” triangle below a bar = Long idea (MSS + FVG retest + trendLong + not chop)
“S” triangle above a bar = Short idea (MSS + FVG retest + trendShort + not chop)
Faint circle plots on price:
When the filter sees CHOP
When it sees Trend Long zone
When it sees Trend Short zone
You do not have to trade every L or S.
They’re there to show “this is where the model would have considered an entry.”
How to use it in your trading
1. Use it with a higher-timeframe filter
Best practice:
Use this with the Chop Meter 1H/30M/15M or some other HTF filter.
Only consider L/S when:
Chop Meter = TRADE / NORMAL, and
This indicator prints L or S in the right location (premium/discount, near OB/FVG, etc.)
If higher-timeframe says NO TRADE, you ignore all L/S.
2. Location > Signal
Treat L/S as confirmation, not the whole story.
For shorts (S):
Look for premium zones (previous highs, OBs, fair value ranges above mid).
Want purge / raid of liquidity + MSS down + bearish FVG retest → then S.
For longs (L):
Look for discount zones (previous lows, OBs/FVGs below mid).
Want stop raid / purge low + MSS up + bullish FVG retest → then L.
If you see L/S firing in the middle of a bigger range, that’s where you skip and let it go.
3. Instrument presets (example)
You can tune the ATR/chop settings per instrument:
MNQ (noisy, 1m chart):
ATR length: 21
Max chop ratio: 0.90
Min trend ratio: 1.40
Bars after MSS allowed: 10
GOLD (cleaner, 3m chart):
ATR length: 14
Max chop ratio: 0.80
Min trend ratio: 1.30
Bars after MSS allowed: 20
You can save those as presets in the TV settings for quick switching.
4. How to practice with it
Open replay on a couple of days.
Check Chop Meter → if NO TRADE, just observe.
When Chop Meter says TRADE:
Mark where L/S printed.
Ask:
Was this in premium/discount?
Was there SMT / purge on HTF?
Did the move actually deliver, or did it die?
Screenshot the A+ L/S and the ugly ones; refine:
ATR length
Chop / trend thresholds
MSS lookback
Your goal is to get it to where:
The L/S marks show up mostly in the same places your eye already likes,
and you ignore the rest.
FVG – (auto close + age) GR V1.0FVG – Fair Value Gaps (auto close + age counter)
Short Description
Automatically detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on the current timeframe, keeps them open until price fully fills the gap or a maximum bar age is reached, and shows how many candles have passed since each FVG was created.
Full Description
This indicator automatically finds and visualizes Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) using the classic 3-candle ICT logic on any timeframe.
It works on whatever timeframe you apply it to (M1, M5, H1, H4, etc.) and adapts to the current chart.
FVG detection logic
The script uses a 3-candle pattern:
Bullish FVG
Condition:
low > high
Gap zone:
Lower boundary: high
Upper boundary: low
Bearish FVG
Condition:
high < low
Gap zone:
Lower boundary: high
Upper boundary: low
Each detected FVG is drawn as a colored box (green for bullish, red for bearish in this version, but you can adjust colors in the inputs).
Auto-close rules
An FVG remains on the chart until one of the following happens:
Full fill / mitigation
A bullish FVG closes when any candle’s low goes down to or below the lower boundary of the gap.
A bearish FVG closes when any candle’s high goes up to or above the upper boundary of the gap.
Maximum bar age reached
Each FVG has a maximum lifetime measured in candles.
When the number of candles since its creation reaches the configured maximum (default: 200 bars), the FVG is automatically removed even if it has not been fully filled.
This keeps the chart cleaner and prevents very old gaps from cluttering the view.
Age counter (labels inside the boxes)
Inside every FVG box there is a small label that:
Shows how many bars have passed since the FVG was created.
Moves together with the right edge of the box and stays vertically centered in the gap.
This makes it easy to distinguish fresh gaps from older ones and prioritize which zones you want to pay attention to.
Inputs
FVG color – Main fill color for all FVG boxes.
Show bullish FVGs – Turn bullish gaps on/off.
Show bearish FVGs – Turn bearish gaps on/off.
Max bar age – Maximum number of candles an FVG is allowed to stay on the chart before it is removed.
Usage
Works on any symbol and any timeframe.
Can be combined with your own ICT / SMC concepts, order blocks, session ranges, market structure, etc.
You can also choose to only display bullish or only bearish FVGs depending on your directional bias.

High Volume Zones with Signals – HVZ█ OVERVIEW
"High Volume Zones with Signals – HVZ" is a technical analysis indicator that identifies High Volume Zones (HVZ) on the chart and draws them as fully customizable boxes. Perfect for traders using price action, ICT, and Smart Money Concepts. The indicator highlights key volume-based support/resistance levels, detects potential consolidation zones (very large candles), and generates precise breakout and exit signals. Flexible volume filters, ATR filter, and visual styling options ensure a clean and highly effective chart.
█ CONCEPTS
The indicator detects candles with volume significantly above the average (default ≥ 2× SMA of volume over 20 periods). Such candles often signal institutional activity and create strong supply/demand zones.
The ATR filter additionally identifies very large candles – frequently a sign of market capitulation (panic buying/selling). Within the range of such a candle, prolonged consolidation often occurs, especially on higher timeframes (e.g., 4H and above).
Why are HVZ important? High-volume zones are areas where the market has left a large number of orders – institutions return there to “refresh” liquidity before the next move. A breakout against the zone’s character triggers a Break signal:
- Bullish HVZ broken downward (close below the lower boundary) → Break Down (sell),
- Bearish HVZ broken upward (close above the upper boundary) → Break Up (buy).
Note: The indicator requires real exchange volume – it will not work correctly on instruments without reported volume (e.g., certain CFDs or forex).
█ FEATURES
- HVZ Detection: Automatic identification of high-volume zones with Volume SMA Length and Volume Multiplier filters; historical initialization up to 500 candles back.
- ATR Filter: Optional detection of very large candles (potential consolidation/capitulation) using - ATR Length and ATR Multiplier; three action modes:
Skip Zone – large candle creates no zone,
Separate Color – zone is drawn in a distinct style (gray by default),
Normal Zone – treated like a regular HVZ.
- Gray zones (large candles, Separate Color): generate exactly the same Break signals as regular zones – based solely on the original candle direction (bullish → Break Down on lower break, bearish → Break Up on upper break). Gray color is only a visual marker for potential consolidation/capitulation zones.
- Customizable Boxes: Separate styles for bullish and bearish zones (border color, background gradient, line thickness and style); adjustable background and 50 % midline transparency.
- Break & Exit Signals:
Break Up/Down – green/red triangle after a candle closes outside the zone (zone disappears, triangle remains as a trace).
Exit Up/Down – green/red circle when price leaves the zone without a full breakout.
Signal Type option: Break, Exit, or Both.
- Midline: Automatic dashed line at the 50 % zone level with independent transparency control.
- Chart Cleanup: Automatic removal of inactive zones older than 500 candles (max_boxes_count=500).
- Alerts: Built-in alerts for Break Up and Break Down with clear messages.
█ HOW TO USE
Add to Chart: Paste the script in Pine Editor or find it in TradingView’s indicator library.
Configure Settings:
- Volume Filter: Volume SMA Length (default 20) and Volume Multiplier (default 2.0) – higher multiplier = fewer but stronger zones.
- ATR Filter: Enable/disable, set ATR Length (14) and ATR Multiplier (3.5); choose action for very large candles (Skip Zone / Separate Color / Normal Zone).
- Box Style: Background transparency (90) and midline transparency (70).
- Bull/Bear Box Style: Border and gradient colors, line thickness (1-5).
- ATR Style: Separate colors for large-candle zones (gray by default).
- Signal Settings: Choose Signal Type (Break/Exit/Both) and signal colors.
Signal Interpretation:
- Break Up (green triangle below bar): Bearish HVZ broken upward → buy signal, continuation of uptrend.
- Break Down (red triangle above bar): Bullish HVZ broken downward → sell signal, continuation of downtrend.
- Exit Up/Down (circles): Price leaves zone without breakout – may signal end of correction or reversal setup.
- HVZ Zones: Price often returns to high-volume zones to clear orders. An unfilled zone remains a price magnet.
- 50 % Level (midline): Ideal target for partial take-profit or reaction point inside the zone.
Combine signals with other tools (e.g., RSI, MACD, higher timeframes) for higher confidence.
█ APPLICATIONS
- Price Action & ICT: HVZ act as dynamic S/R; in an uptrend look for buys after breaking a bearish HVZ, in a downtrend look for sells after breaking a bullish HVZ. If you trade retests instead of breakouts, increase Volume Multiplier to 2.5-3.0 – fewer zones but much stronger. Note that after breaking a very strong zone, price often pulls back deeply before continuing.
- Breakout Strategies: For maximum Break signals, lower Volume Multiplier to 1.5-1.8 – gives many high-quality entries in trending markets. Always trade in the direction of the prevailing trend (e.g., only longs in uptrends). Enter after a Break signal with confirmation from volume or momentum (MACD above zero, RSI >50 for longs, <50 for shorts).
█ NOTES
- The indicator requires real exchange volume – it will not function properly on instruments without reported volume (e.g., certain CFDs, forex).
- Always confirm signals with additional context (market structure, higher timeframe).
Smart VWAP FVG SystemSmart VWAP FVG System - Professional Multi-Filter Trading Indicator
📊 OVERVIEW
The Smart VWAP FVG System is an advanced multi-layered trading indicator that combines institutional volume analysis, multi-timeframe VWAP trend confirmation, and Fair Value Gap detection to identify high-probability trade entries. This indicator uses a sophisticated filtering mechanism where signals appear only when multiple independent confirmation criteria align simultaneously.
Recommended Timeframe: 5-minute (M5) or higher. The indicator works best on M5, M15, and M30 charts for intraday trading.
🎯 ORIGINALITY & PURPOSE
This indicator is original because it combines three distinct analytical methods into a unified decision-making system:
Market Profile Volume Analysis - Identifies institutional accumulation/distribution zones
Dual VWAP Filtering - Confirms trend direction using two independent VWAP calculations
Fair Value Gap Detection - Validates institutional interest through price inefficiency zones
The key innovation is the directional filter system: the primary Market Profile generates BUY-ONLY or SELL-ONLY states based on higher timeframe value area reversals, which then controls which signals from the main system are displayed. This creates a multi-timeframe confluence that significantly reduces false signals.
Unlike simple indicator mashups, each component serves a specific purpose:
Market Profile → Direction bias (trend filter)
Primary VWAP (Session) → Short-term trend confirmation
Secondary VWAP (Week) → Medium-term trend confirmation
FVG Detection → Institutional activity validation
🔧 HOW IT WORKS
1. Primary Market Profile Filter (Higher Timeframe)
The indicator calculates Market Profile on a higher timeframe (default: 1 hour) to determine the overall market structure:
Value Area High (VAH): Top 70% of volume distribution
Value Area Low (VAL): Bottom 70% of volume distribution
Point of Control (POC): Price level with highest volume
When price reaches VAH and reverses down → SELL-ONLY mode activated
When price reaches VAL and reverses up → BUY-ONLY mode activated
This higher timeframe filter ensures you're trading in the direction of institutional flow.
2. Dual VWAP System
Two independent VWAP calculations provide multi-timeframe trend confirmation:
Primary VWAP (Session-based): Resets daily, tracks intraday momentum
Secondary VWAP (Week-based): Resets weekly, confirms longer-term trend
Filter Logic:
BUY signals require: Price > Primary VWAP AND Price > Secondary VWAP
SELL signals require: Price < Primary VWAP AND Price < Secondary VWAP
This dual confirmation prevents counter-trend trades during ranging conditions.
3. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection
FVG zones identify price inefficiencies where institutional orders were executed rapidly:
Bullish FVG: Gap between candle .high and candle .low (upward imbalance)
Bearish FVG: Gap between candle .high and candle .low (downward imbalance)
The indicator monitors recent FVG formation (lookback: 50 bars) and requires:
Bullish FVG present for BUY signals
Bearish FVG present for SELL signals
FVG zones are displayed as colored boxes and automatically marked as "mitigated" when price fills the gap.
4. Main Trading Signal Logic
The secondary Market Profile (default: 1 hour) generates the actual trading signals:
BUY Signal Conditions:
Price reaches Value Area Low
Reversal pattern confirmed (minimum 1 bar)
Price > Primary VWAP
Price > Secondary VWAP (if filter enabled)
Recent Bullish FVG detected (if filter enabled)
Primary MP Filter = BUY-ONLY or NEUTRAL
SELL Signal Conditions:
Price reaches Value Area High
Reversal pattern confirmed (minimum 1 bar)
Price < Primary VWAP
Price < Secondary VWAP (if filter enabled)
Recent Bearish FVG detected (if filter enabled)
Primary MP Filter = SELL-ONLY or NEUTRAL
All conditions must be TRUE simultaneously for a signal to appear.

⚠️ IMPORTANT WARNINGS & LIMITATIONS
1. Repainting Behavior
CRITICAL: This indicator uses lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on to access higher timeframe data immediately for FVG detection. This is necessary to provide real-time FVG zone visualization but has the following implications:
FVG zones may shift slightly until the higher timeframe candle closes
FVG detection signals are preliminary until HTF bar confirmation
The main trading signals (triangles) appear on confirmed bars and do not repaint
Best Practice: Always wait for the current timeframe bar to close before acting on signals. The filter status and FVG zones are informational but may adjust as new data arrives.
2. Minimum Timeframe
Do NOT use on timeframes below 5 minutes (M5)
Recommended: M5, M15, M30 for intraday trading
Higher timeframes (H1, H4) can also be used but will generate fewer signals
3. Multiple Filters Can Block Signals
By design, this indicator is conservative. When all filters are enabled:
Signals appear ONLY when all conditions align
You may see extended periods with no signals
This is intentional to reduce false positives
If you see no signals:
Check the Info Panel to see which filters are failing
Consider adjusting FVG lookback period
Temporarily disable FVG filter to test
Verify VWAP filters match current market trend
4. Market Profile Limitations
Market Profile requires sufficient volume data
Low-volume instruments may produce unreliable profiles
Value Areas update only on higher timeframe bar close
Works best on liquid markets (major forex pairs, indices, crypto)
📖 HOW TO USE
Step 1: Add to Chart
Apply indicator to M5 or higher timeframe chart
Ensure chart shows volume data
Use standard candles (NOT Heikin Ashi, Renko, etc.)
Step 2: Configure Settings
Primary MP Filter TF: Set to 60 (1 hour) minimum, or 240 (4 hour) for swing trading
Main MP TF: Set to 60 (1 hour) for intraday signals
FVG Timeframe: Match or exceed main MP timeframe
Leave other settings at default initially
Step 3: Understand the Info Panel
Monitor the top-right panel:
FILTER STATUS: Shows current directional bias
NEUTRAL = Both signals allowed
BUY ONLY = Only green triangles will appear
SELL ONLY = Only red triangles will appear
FVG Filter: Shows if bullish/bearish gaps detected recently
VWAP positions: Confirms trend alignment
Step 4: Take Signals
For BUY Signal (Green Triangle ▲):
Wait for green triangle to appear
Check Info Panel shows ✓ for BUY signals
Confirm current bar has closed
Enter long position
Stop loss: Below recent VAL or swing low
Target: Previous Value Area High or 1.5-2× risk
For SELL Signal (Red Triangle ▼):
Wait for red triangle to appear
Check Info Panel shows ✓ for SELL signals
Confirm current bar has closed
Enter short position
Stop loss: Above recent VAH or swing high
Target: Previous Value Area Low or 1.5-2× risk
Step 5: Risk Management
Risk per trade: Maximum 1-2% of account equity
Position sizing: Adjust based on stop loss distance
Avoid trading: During major news events or time filter periods
Multiple confirmations: Look for confluence with price action (support/resistance, trendlines)
🎓 UNDERLYING CONCEPTS
Market Profile Theory
Developed by J. Peter Steidlmayer in the 1980s, Market Profile organizes price and volume data to identify:
Value Areas: Where 70% of trading activity occurred
POC: Price level with highest acceptance (most volume)
Imbalances: When price moves away from value quickly
This indicator uses TPO (Time Price Opportunity) calculation method to build the volume profile distribution.
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
VWAP represents the average price weighted by volume, showing where institutional traders are positioned:
Price above VWAP = Bullish (institutions accumulated lower)
Price below VWAP = Bearish (institutions distributed higher)
Using dual VWAP (Session + Week) creates multi-timeframe trend alignment.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Also known as "imbalance" or "inefficiency," FVG occurs when:
Price moves so rapidly that a gap forms in the candlestick structure
Indicates institutional order flow (large market orders)
Price often returns to "fill" these gaps (rebalance)
The 3-candle FVG pattern (gap between candle and candle ) is widely used in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology and Smart Money Concepts.

Detects and highlights imbalances where price moved too fast, helping you identify high-probability retracement areas.
🕯️ Candlestick Pattern Recognition:
Recognizes key reversal and continuation patterns (engulfing, hammer, shooting star, doji, morning/evening star, etc.) in real time.
📅 Institutional Reference Points:
Plots previous week & day open (PWO, PDO), previous week & day high (PWH, PWH), previous week & day low (PWL, PDL), previous week & day close (PWC, PDC) and optionally previous day levels to help frame bias.
🎨 Customizable Design:
Toggle any feature, change colors, and set alerts when multiple Smart Money signals align for cleaner, faster decision-making.
How It Works
Add the indicator to your chart on any timeframe or market.
The algorithm automatically detects structure, liquidity, and imbalance zones.
Candlestick patterns are highlighted when they form near high-probability areas (like OBs or FVGs).
When confluence occurs such as a liquidity grab, FVG fill, and bullish engulfing candle—the indicator provides a visual signal zone for your confirmation-based entries.
You can refine your trades using higher-timeframe bias (HTF order flow) and lower-timeframe execution (LTF confirmation).
Best For
Traders using ICT, Smart Money Concepts, or price-action systems.
Intraday and swing traders looking for clear, data-driven chart structure.
Traders who want to simplify confluence analysis and focus on precision execution.
Why It Stands Out
Unlike standard candlestick or pattern scanners, this indicator merges institutional market logic with technical candle behavior, allowing traders to see where smart money might be entering or exiting positions.
It’s not about random signals it’s about context, structure, and confirmation.
Every feature in this indicator is built around the principle of liquidity engineering:
price creates liquidity, grabs it, and moves toward imbalance or order flow efficiency.
By merging that institutional logic with candlestick patterns, this tool gives traders an edge in recognizing not only where to trade but why price is reacting in that exact area.

Premium/Discount Zones with Confirmation Signals📌 Indicator Description: Premium/Discount Zones with Confirmed Signals
This indicator identifies dynamic Premium, Discount, and Equilibrium zones based on recent swing highs and lows, helping traders visualize where price is considered expensive, cheap, or fair value. It’s designed for Smart Money Concepts (SMC), ICT-style trading, and anyone who values precision in zone-based analysis.
🔍 Key Features
Swing-Based Zones: Automatically detects swing highs/lows over a customizable lookback period (default: 48 bars — equivalent to 2 days on a 1-hour chart).
Premium & Discount Levels: Define overbought and oversold zones using percentage inputs (default: 25%).
Equilibrium Band (middle): Highlights the no-trade value zone with adjustable width (default: 5%).
Signal Engine: Generates trade signals based on two styles:
Bounce: Reversal signals when price reacts to a zone and confirms direction.
Breakout: Continuation signals when price breaks through a zone with momentum.
Trade Type Selector: Choose between Bounce, Breakout, or Both from the input menu.
Signal Filtering: Limits signals to one per direction at a time to reduce noise.
Visual Styling: Toggle between colored or monochrome themes for clean charting.
🧠 How It Works
Buy signals appear when price confirms strength from the discount zone or breaks above the premium zone.
Sell signals appear when price confirms weakness from the premium zone or breaks below the discount zone.
All signals include a built-in 3-bar confirmation delay to reduce false triggers.
🎯 Ideal For
Traders using SMC, ICT, or price action strategies
Zone-based scalping, swing trading, or intraday setups
Visualizing market structure and value areas with clarity

FVG MagicFVG Magic — Fair Value Gaps with Smart Mitigation, Inversion & Auto-Clean-up
FVG Magic finds every tradable Fair Value Gap (FVG), shows who powered it, and then manages each gap intelligently as price interacts with it—so your chart stays actionable and clean.
Attribution
This tool is inspired by the idea popularized in “Volumatic Fair Value Gaps ” by BigBeluga (licensed CC BY-NC-SA 4.0). Credit to BigBeluga for advancing FVG visualization in the community.
Important: This is a from-scratch implementation—no code was copied from the original. I expanded the concept substantially with a different detection stack, a gap state machine (ACTIVE → 50% SQ → MITIGATED → INVERSED), auto-clean up rules, lookback/nearest-per-side pruning, zoom-proof volume meters, and timeframe auto-tuning for 15m/H1/H4.
What makes this version more accurate
Full-coverage detection (no “missed” gaps)
Default ICT-minimal rule (Bullish: low > high , Bearish: high < low ) catches all valid 3-candle FVGs.
Optional Strict filter (stricter structure checks) for traders who prefer only “clean” gaps.
Optional size percentile filter—off by default so nothing is hidden unless you choose to filter.
Correct handling of confirmations (wick vs close)
Mitigation Source is user-selectable: high/low (wick-based) or close (strict).
This avoids false “misses” when you expect wick confirmations (50% or full fill) but your logic required closes.
State-aware labelling to prevent misleading data
The Bull%/Bear% meter is shown only while a gap is ACTIVE.
As soon as a gap is 50% SQ, MITIGATED, or INVERSED, the meter is hidden and replaced with a clear tag—so you never read stale participation stats.
Robust zoom behaviour
The meter uses a fixed bar-width (not pixels), so it stays proportional and readable at any zoom level.
Deterministic lifecycle (no stale boxes)
Remove on 50% SQ (instant or delayed).
Inversion window after first entry: if price enters but doesn’t invert within N bars, the box auto-removes once fully filled.
Inversion clean up: after a confirmed flip, keep for N bars (context) then delete (or 0 = immediate).
Result: charts auto-maintain themselves and never “lie” about relevance.
Clarity near current price
Nearest-per-side (keep N closest bullish & bearish gaps by distance to the midpoint) focuses attention where it matters without altering detection accuracy.
Lookback (bars) ensures reproducible behaviour across accounts with different data history.
Timeframe-aware defaults
Sensible auto-tuning for 15m / H1 / H4 (right-extension length, meter width, inversion windows, clean up bars) to reduce setup friction and improve consistency.
What it does (under the hood)
Detects FVGs using ICT-minimal (default) or a stricter rule.
Samples volume from a 10× lower timeframe to split participation into Bull % / Bear % (sum = 100%).
Manages each gap through a state machine:
ACTIVE → 50% SQ (midline) → MITIGATED (full) → INVERSED (SR flip after fill).
Auto-clean up keeps only relevant levels, per your rules.
Dashboard (top-right) displays counts by side and the active state tags.
How to use it
First run (show everything)
Use Strict FVG Filter: OFF
Enable Size Filter (percentile): OFF
Mitigation Source: high/low (wick-based) or close (stricter), as you prefer.
Remove on 50% SQ: ON, Delay: 0
Read the context
While ACTIVE, use the Bull%/Bear% meter to gauge demand/supply behind the impulse that created the gap.
Confluence with your HTF structure, sessions, VWAP, OB/FVG, RSI/MACD, etc.
Trade interactions
50% SQ: often the highest-quality interaction; if removal is ON, the box clears = “job done.”
Full mitigation then rejection through the other side → tag changes to INVERSED (acts like SR). Keep for N bars, then auto-remove.
Keep the chart tidy (optional)
If too busy, enable Size Filter or set Nearest per side to 2–4.
Use Lookback (bars) to make behaviour consistent across symbols and histories.
Inputs (key ones)
Use Strict FVG Filter: OFF(default)/ON
Enable Size Filter (percentile): OFF(default)/ON + threshold
Mitigation Source: high/low or close
Remove on 50% SQ + Delay
Inversion window after entry (bars)
Remove inversed after (bars)
Lookback (bars), Nearest per side (N)
Right Extension Bars, Max FVGs, Meter width (bars)
Colours: Bullish, Bearish, Inversed fill
Suggested defaults (per TF)
15m: Extension 50, Max 12, Inversion window 8, Clean up 8, Meter width 20
H1: Extension 25, Max 10, Inversion window 6, Clean up 6, Meter width 15
H4: Extension 15, Max 8, Inversion window 5, Clean up 5, Meter width 10
Notes & edge cases
If a wick hits 50% or the far edge but state doesn’t change, you’re likely on close mode—switch to high/low for wick-based behaviour.
If a gap disappears, it likely met a clean up condition (50% removal, inversion window, inversion clean up, nearest-per-side, lookback, or max-cap).
Meters are hidden after ACTIVE to avoid stale percentages.
