Trapper Market Structure (HH, HL, LH, LL)This script is designed to visually identify price action market structure in real time using pivot-based logic. It highlights the key components of trend direction by labeling:
- **HH** – Higher Highs
- **HL** – Higher Lows
- **LH** – Lower Highs
- **LL** – Lower Lows
These labels help traders track evolving market conditions and spot trend continuations, breaks in structure, or potential reversals — all without guessing.
**How It Works**
The script detects local swing highs and lows based on a customizable pivot strength. Once a valid pivot is confirmed, it’s classified in context with the previous relevant pivot to determine its structural significance.
For example:
- If a pivot high is higher than the previous, it’s marked as a **HH**.
- If a pivot low is lower than the previous, it’s marked as a **LL**, and so on.
This running analysis helps traders anticipate shifts between bullish and bearish structures.
**Customizable Features**
- Adjust **Pivot Strength** to increase or reduce sensitivity (more reactive or more stable)
- Toggle **Labels** on/off for cleaner charts
- Toggle **Connecting Lines** between pivots to visualize structure flow
**Use Case**
This indicator is ideal for:
- Price action traders
- Market structure analysis
- Identifying entry zones during pullbacks (e.g., buying at HLs during uptrends)
- Confirming trend reversals or break-of-structure (BoS)
You can use this tool as a foundation for more advanced systems such as CHoCH/BOS detection, liquidity zones, or sniper-style entry frameworks.
**Concepts Used**
- Swing High/Low detection using `ta.pivothigh` and `ta.pivotlow`
- Market structure labeling logic
- Visual flow to reinforce trader psychology on trend states

Pivot Market StructureDescription and Features
This script is designed to enhance technical analysis by identifying key market structure levels. It uses a price action trail (based on the last highest/lowest price) and pivot points to track market trends, offering insights into potential reversal zones or trend continuation signals.
How the Script Works
High/Low Trail Logic: The script includes a trail mechanism that compares the current price with the last highest and lowest price, determining whether the price has breached these levels. This helps pinpoint key price action events and potential trend shifts. Unlike pivot points the price action trail is more responsive changes within the market structure.
Step Size and Length for High/Low Trail:
- The Step Length parameter defines how many bars are used to compare the current price against the last highest/lowest price, providing a measure of price extremes.
- The Length parameter determines the number of bars considered for calculating the highest/lowest price since the last price action event (either price surpassing a previous high or dipping below a previous low).
Pivot Point Calculation: Pivot Point Highs are calculated by the number of bars with lower highs on either side of a Pivot Point High calculation. Similarly, Pivot Point Lows are calculated by the number of bars with higher lows on either side of a Pivot Point Low calculation. The script draws a line from/to every calculated pivot point to highlight market structure extremes. It can optionally extend these pivot lines to the left for added context, providing historical reference for decision-making.
Summary
By combining both pivot analysis and price action trailing techniques, the script provides a comprehensive view of a pivot point based market structure.
MTF Break of Structure(BOS) & Market Structure Shift(MSS)Brief Introduction
Hello fellow traders and coders, let me introduce to you the ultimate multi time-frame market structure indicator to cater to all your market structure needs. The script is extremely customizable with a maximum of 3 time-frames since I love top down analysis as I’m sure you do to, so without wasting any more time here are the available features.
List of Features
A maximum of 3 time-frames that can all be customized independently.
The ability to change individual swing lengths that create the market structure plots, all time-frames will come set at 7, you can however set this to whatever you are comfortable with.
BOS (Break of Structure) and MSS (Market Structure Shift) functionality fo all the individual time-frames.
The option to show market structure in the form of HH (Higher highs), HL (Higher Lows), LL (Lower Lows) and LH(Lower Highs).
The ability to either use (highs and lows) or closes for breaks of structure and market structure shifts, meaning a break of structure will only be valid if either a high or close (depending on your chosen input) crosses above the previous high for a bullish structural break.
The ability to change lines types for BOS and MSS.
The ability to change text sizes for the all the plots.
The ability to change the colors for nearly anything on the chart independently of any other line or plot.
The ability to change any time-frame to the chart’s time-frame.
The ability to prevent lower time frame structure from showing on higher time frames which I don’t advice as it will provide you with an inaccurate perception of the lower time frame structure hence I’ve made the feature available but set it to false.
The script also has a section called general settings that will allow you to hide all the market structure plots as well as all the lines on the chart and on all time-frames using just one input.
General Settings Functionality.
Input 1 if true will hide all market structure if true
Input 2 if true will hide all structural breaks (BOS and MSS)
Input 3 if false will show lower time frame structure on a higher time frame. High advice using it while its true as I work on this feature as it provide an innacurate depiction of structure.
Internal Market Structure + Order BlocksInternal Market Structure + Order Blocks
This indicator combines internal market structure shifts with order block detection to help traders identify key zones of institutional interest and potential trend reversals. It highlights bullish and bearish engulfing conditions that mark the formation of valid order blocks, and it plots internal structure shifts—early signals that may precede a larger move.
Key Features:
-Bullish & Bearish Order Blocks: Highlighted with shaded boxes (green for bullish, red for bearish) following engulfing price action.
-Internal Structure Shifts: Small black triangles show early signs of a potential reversal, offering a unique perspective beyond standard structure analysis.
-Engulfing Breakouts: Marks when price breaks previous opposing structure, confirming new directional intent.
-Alerts Included: Get notified on key structure breaks and internal shifts to stay ahead of potential setups.
This tool is designed to support price action trading by visually mapping key structural changes and zones of interest directly on your chart. It is not intended to function as a standalone trading strategy , but rather as a supplementary tool to inform your own analysis and discretion.
Note: The arrows, polylines, and colored trendlines shown in the chart example are not generated by the indicator. They have been added manually for illustration purposes to demonstrate how the indicator can be used to trace market structure. Likewise, the order blocks in the example are manually drawn and may differ slightly from the indicator's automatic calculations, serving only to enhance visual clarity.
Pivot Market StructureThis Indicator helps identify the current market structure.
The Swing Market Structure is identified based on thresholds (either on percentages or absolute values) to tell if a pullback is value (=deep enough). If a level is broken, the furthest opposite point becomes the new low/high, respectively.
For the active movement (identified high + low), various retracement levels can be configured and shown.
As most granular structure, the Fractal Market Structure helps identify strong structure breaks within the most recent bars.
Note: If certain timeframes don´t show a market structure breakdown, reduce the threshold until valid pullbacks can be found.
SMC Structure Indicator## SMC Structure Indicator by IMSHAHROKH
This indicator is a comprehensive tool for traders who use **Smart Money Concepts (SMC)** or **ICT** methodologies. It is designed to automatically identify and visualize key market structure elements, helping traders to make more informed decisions by cleaning up the chart and highlighting only what matters.
---
### **Key Features**
* **Major Pivots:** Automatically plots major swing highs and lows (pivots) based on a user-defined lookback period. This helps in identifying the current market trend and structure.
* **Change of Character (CHOCH):** Identifies and labels a "Change of Character" when a confirmed pivot is broken, signaling a potential shift in market direction.
* **Order Blocks (OB):** Automatically draws the corresponding Order Block (the last candle before the break) after a CHOCH occurs. These zones are potential high-probability areas of interest for future entries.
* **Highly Customizable:** The indicator comes with a clean settings panel that allows you to:
* Toggle the visibility of Pivots, CHOCH labels, and Order Blocks.
* Fully customize the colors for bullish and bearish Order Blocks.
* Adjust the sensitivity of pivot detection.
---
### **How to Use / Strategy Suggestion**
This indicator is a purely analytical tool and does not provide direct buy/sell signals. A common way to use it based on SMC/ICT principles is as follows:
1. **Identify Trend:** Use the series of pivots to determine the primary market trend (e.g., higher highs and higher lows indicate an uptrend).
2. **Wait for CHOCH:** Wait for a Change of Character *against* the primary trend. For example, in an uptrend, wait for a recent Pivot Low to be broken. The indicator will mark this with a **CHOCH ▼** label.
3. **Identify the Zone:** The indicator will then draw the corresponding Order Block (in this case, the last up-candle before the price dropped). This is now a high-probability **supply zone**.
4. **Anticipate Entry:** Wait for the price to return (mitigate) to this Order Block zone in the future.
5. **Confirm Entry:** Look for your own entry confirmation (e.g., a reversal pattern on a lower timeframe) within or near this zone to execute a trade.
6. **Manage Risk:** A logical Stop Loss would typically be placed just above the high of the supply zone (or below the low of a demand zone).

This tool is intended to assist with your market analysis and should be used in conjunction with your own trading plan and risk management. Hope it helps you in your trading journey!
Algo Market Structure (Nephew_Sam_)This indicator takes a different approach into reading market structure.
The key difference between this logic compared to the pivot logic is; we read highs and lows based on bullish and bearish candles. Ie:
Pivot method - highest/lowest point in previous and next X candles
Algo method - Bullish candle(s) followed by a bearish candle and vice versa
More explanation in each of the key feature below.
Here are all of the concepts and features included in the indicator:
Timeframe
- You can select the timeframe of the indicator (has to be higher or equal to the chart timeframe)
- Min option is the minimum timeframe to show the indicator. If you show daily structure on 1m chart, you can run into a timeout error so keep it close to the chart timeframe.
- Recommended timeframe for no bugs is the current chart timeframe.
Structure
The structure is calculated using a combination of candle patterns (ie. pivot top = Bullish x3-Bearish-Bullish) and marks out circle labels after a new HH or LL
Structure high = 1 or more consecutive bull candles followed by a bear candle
Structure low = 1 or more consecutive bear candles followed by a bull candle
Structure direction change = when the second previous H/L is taken out (TLQ)
ILQ - Inducement Liquidity concept
In a bearish example this is the most recent structure high.
TLQ
In a bearish example this is the second most recent structure high.
This is also what helps define our structure direction. If broken, the structure changes (bullish / bearish) and plots a bos line.
EPA - Efficient price action
When price returns back to previous structure point after bos. Similar to an ICT breaker.
Note: It might be a little, just a little buggy if you have set your indicator timeframe to higher than the chart timeframe.
Extremes Zones
The final zone to find a trade entry before a structural shift. These are wick of the TLQ candle. This is select the wick of the current timeframe candle even if indicator is set to higher timeframe.
MSU
Tiny arrow labels at the bottom of your chart. Plots the arrows when price is between an ILQ and TLQ
VTA
Valid trading range. This is when we get some sort of a structure pattern. Plots a box when price induces previous structure point and then breaks structure in the opposite direction. Here are the patterns:
Bull VTA - HH-LL-HH
Bear VTA - LL-HH-LL
Bull Strict VTA - LL-HH-LL-HH
Bear Strict VTA - HH-LL-HH-LL
Bar colors
Changes the bar color based on the structure to all green/red.
Note: for this to work, you will have to right click on the indicator, then under visual order select 'bring to front'
Table
This table plots the structure stats/data
1. If structure is bullish / bearish
2. If price is efficient or not
3. If there is an MSU
4. If price is inside a VTA
Disclaimer: This indicator is fully written from scratch by me, the idea behind the concepts come from AlgoHub material on Youtube. Do NOT use this code for reselling purposes and if anything is created using any part of this code, the source code should be public.

Internal Market StructureInternal Market Structure Indicator (Based on Bearish/Bullish Candle Patterns)
This custom market structure indicator is designed to help traders identify key shifts in market pressure based on bullish and bearish candle patterns. The indicator tracks consecutive bullish and bearish candles and identifies significant points where the price action suggests a potential reversal or continuation of the current market trend.
Key Features:
1. Bullish & Bearish Candle Recognition: The indicator monitors individual candles to determine if they are bullish (close > open) or bearish (close < open), and uses this information to track price direction over consecutive candles.
2. Consecutive Candle Tracking: It tracks consecutive bullish and bearish candles, giving insight into the strength of the prevailing trend. The number of consecutive candles can be adjusted to refine the analysis based on market conditions.
3. Engulfing Candle Detection: The indicator identifies Bullish and Bearish Engulfing signals when a reversal pattern is detected. These are plotted as triangle shapes on the chart:
-Bullish Engulfing: Indicates a potential reversal or continuation of an upward move, where a bullish candle fully engulfs the previous bearish candle.
-Bearish Engulfing: Indicates a potential reversal or continuation of a downward move, where a bearish candle fully engulfs the previous bullish candle.
4. Internal Shifts: The indicator also tracks Internal Shifts, which occur when the price closes beyond the highest or lowest levels of previous bullish or bearish sequences, signaling a potential trend change:
-Bullish Internal Shift: A shift indicating the market may be turning bullish.
-Bearish Internal Shift: A shift indicating the market may be turning bearish.
5. Alerts: Custom alerts are included to notify traders when any of the above conditions are met:
-Bullish Pressure Change Alert
-Bearish Pressure Change Alert
-Bullish Internal Shift Alert
-Bearish Internal Shift Alert
Plotting:
The indicator visually marks these key price levels with shapes on the chart:
-Green Triangle Up: Bullish Engulfment
-Red Triangle Down: Bearish Engulfment
-Blue Triangle Down: Bearish Internal Shift
-Orange Triangle Up: Bullish Internal Shift
Usage:
This indicator can be used to spot potential reversals, continuation patterns, and shifts in market sentiment. Traders can combine these signals with other technical indicators to form a more robust trading strategy.
By focusing on candle patterns and market structure, this indicator offers a clear, actionable framework for understanding market behavior and making more informed trading decisions.

The Curved Market Structure [BigBeluga]Curved Market Structure
The Curved Market Structure indicator offers an innovative twist on traditional market structure tools by using curved lines instead of horizontal ones, enabling faster breakout detection for traders.
🔵Key Features:
Curved Market Structure Levels: The indicator identifies high and low pivots and plots curved lines connecting these points, adapting to market dynamics and providing a more intuitive view of potential breakout zones.
Breakout Detection: Breakouts above or below the curved levels are marked with triangle symbols (▲ or ▼), making it easy to spot critical price movements.
Dynamic Target Levels: After a breakout, the indicator plots three target levels, which serve as potential price objectives. Each target is marked with a number and a star (e.g., 1★) upon being reached.
Customizable Line Length and Angle: Users can adjust the length and angle of the curved lines to fit their trading style and timeframe, making the tool versatile and adaptable.
Market Structure Trend Filtering: To maintain a clean chart, the indicator plots curved levels only from high pivots during uptrends and low pivots during downtrends.
🔵How It Works:
The indicator identifies high and low pivots using user-defined parameters (left and right bars).
Curved lines are drawn from these pivot points, showing the structure of the market and potential breakout zones.
When a breakout occurs, the indicator highlights the direction with triangle symbols and dynamically plots three price targets.
Upon reaching these targets, the level is marked with its respective number and a star, helping traders track price progression effectively.
The lines and targets are adjusted based on market conditions, ensuring real-time relevance and accuracy.
🔵Use Cases:
Spotting key breakout zones to identify entry and exit points more effectively.
Setting dynamic target levels for take-profit or stop-loss planning.
Filtering market noise and maintaining a cleaner chart while analyzing trends.
Enhancing traditional market structure analysis with an intuitive curved visualization.
This indicator is ideal for traders who want a modern, dynamic, and visually appealing way to track market structure and breakouts while maintaining chart clarity.
Vietnamese Market Structure With CountersThis indicator is designed to track Market Structure with Swing-Low Breakdowns and Swing-High Breakups specifically tailored for the Vietnamese stock market, though it can be applied elsewhere too. By default, it uses a 10-period EMA to dynamically detect key turning points in price action and count significant breakdowns or breakups from previous swing levels.
As an open source, you can modify the source code to match your needs.
What it does:
Detects when price breaks below previous swing lows or above previous swing highs.
Plots swing levels for both highs and lows.
Displays labeled counters on the chart to show how many consecutive breakdowns or breakups have occurred.
Helps traders identify trend shifts and possible exhaustion in moves.
Why it's useful:

ICT Market Structure and OTE ZoneThis indicator is based on the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts, and it helps identify daily market structure and the optimal trade entry (OTE) zone based on Fibonacci retracement levels.
To read and interpret this indicator, follow these steps:
Daily High and Low: The red line represents the daily high, while the green line represents the daily low. These lines help you understand the market structure and the range within which the price has moved during the previous day.
OTE Zone: The gray area between two gray lines represents the optimal trade entry (OTE) zone. This zone is calculated using Fibonacci retracement levels (in this case, 61.8% and 78.6%) applied to the previous day's high and low. The OTE zone is an area where traders might expect a higher probability of a price reversal, following the ICT concepts.
To use this indicator for trading decisions, you should consider the following:
Identify the market structure and overall trend (uptrend, downtrend, or ranging).
Watch for price action to enter the OTE zone. When the price reaches the OTE zone, it may indicate a higher probability of a price reversal.
Combine the OTE zone with other confluences, such as support and resistance levels, candlestick patterns, or additional ICT concepts like order blocks and market maker profiles, to strengthen your trading decisions.
Always use proper risk management and stop-loss orders to protect your capital in case the market moves against your trade.
Keep in mind that the provided indicator is a simple example based on the ICT concepts and should not be considered financial advice. The ICT methodology is vast, and traders often combine multiple concepts to develop their trading strategies. The provided indicator should be treated as a starting point to explore and implement the ICT concepts in your trading strategy.
Simple Market StructureThis indicator is meant for education and experimental purposes only.
Many Market Structure Script out there isn't open-sourced and some could be complicated to understand to modify the code. Hence, I published this code to make life easier for beginner programmer like me to modify the code to fit their custom indicator.
As I am not a expert or pro in coding it might not be as accurate as other reputable author.
Any experts or pros that is willing to contribute this code in the comment section below would be appreciated, I will modify and update the script accordingly as part of my learning journey.
It is useful to a certain extend to detect Market Structure using Swing High/Low in all market condition.
Here are some points that I am looking to improve / fix:
To fix certain horizontal lines that does not paint up to the point where it breaks through.
To add in labels when a market structure is broken.
Allow alerts to be sent when market structure is broken (Probably be done in the last few updates after knowing it is stable and as accurate as possible)
Any suggested improvement, please do let me know in the comment section below and I will try my best to implement it into the script.
Simple ICT Market Structure by toodegreesThis Simple ICT Market Structure is based on the teachings of ICT, specifically in his episode 12 of the Public 2022 Mentorship.
The only omission here is the peculiar calculation of Intermediate Term points, for which I am not using the concept of repricing imbalances – this can be added later!
Feel free to use this tool, however it is quite simple and market structure is something we all know very well how to spot. In my opinion it is helpful to display the long term swing points to identify more mature pools of liquidity.
The reason for coding this tool is to help new coders understand PineScript (I have a video tutorial where I code this from start to finish), as well as fostering some algorithmic thinking in your trading of ICT Concepts and Algorithmic Delivery.
If you have any questions about the code, shoot me a message!
Hope you learn something and GLGT!
MarketStructureLibrary "MarketStructure"
This library contains functions for identifying Lows and Highs in a rule-based way, and deriving useful information from them.
f_simpleLowHigh()
This function finds Local Lows and Highs, but NOT in order. A Local High is any candle that has its Low taken out on close by a subsequent candle (and vice-versa for Local Lows).
The Local High does NOT have to be the candle with the highest High out of recent candles. It does NOT have to be a Williams High. It is not necessarily a swing high or a reversal or anything else.
It doesn't have to be "the" high, so don't be confused.
By the rules, Local Lows and Highs must alternate. In this function they do not, so I'm calling them Simple Lows and Highs.
Simple Highs and Lows, by the above definition, can be useful for entries and stops. Because I intend to use them for stops, I want them all, not just the ones that alternate in strict order.
@param - there are no parameters. The function uses the chart OHLC.
@returns boolean values for whether this bar confirms a Simple Low/High, and ints for the bar_index of that Low/High.
f_localLowHigh()
This function finds Local Lows and Highs, in order. A Local High is any candle that has its Low taken out on close by a subsequent candle (and vice-versa for Local Lows).
The Local High does NOT have to be the candle with the highest High out of recent candles. It does NOT have to be a Williams High. It is not necessarily a swing high or a reversal or anything else.
By the rules, Local Lows and Highs must alternate, and in this function they do.
@param - there are no parameters. The function uses the chart OHLC.
@returns boolean values for whether this bar confirms a Local Low/High, and ints for the bar_index of that Low/High.
f_enhancedSimpleLowHigh()
This function finds Local Lows and Highs, but NOT in order. A Local High is any candle that has its Low taken out on close by a subsequent candle (and vice-versa for Local Lows).
The Local High does NOT have to be the candle with the highest High out of recent candles. It does NOT have to be a Williams High. It is not necessarily a swing high or a reversal or anything else.
By the rules, Local Lows and Highs must alternate. In this function they do not, so I'm calling them Simple Lows and Highs.
Simple Highs and Lows, by the above definition, can be useful for entries and stops. Because I intend to use them for trailing stops, I want them all, not just the ones that alternate in strict order.
The difference between this function and f_simpleLowHigh() is that it also tracks the lowest/highest recent level. This level can be useful for trailing stops.
In effect, these are like more "normal" highs and lows that you would pick by eye, but confirmed faster in many cases than by waiting for the low/high of that particular candle to be taken out on close,
because they are instead confirmed by ANY subsequent candle having its low/high exceeded. Hence, I call these Enhanced Simple Lows/Highs.
The levels are taken from the extreme highs/lows, but the bar indexes are given for the candles that were actually used to confirm the Low/High.
This is by design, because it might be misleading to label the extreme, since we didn't use that candle to confirm the Low/High..
@param - there are no parameters. The function uses the chart OHLC.
@returns - boolean values for whether this bar confirms an Enhanced Simple Low/High
ints for the bar_index of that Low/High
floats for the values of the recent high/low levels
floats for the trailing high/low levels (for debug/post-processing)
bools for market structure bias
f_trueLowHigh()
This function finds True Lows and Highs.
A True High is the candle with the highest recent high, which then has its low taken out on close by a subsequent candle (and vice-versa for True Lows).
The difference between this and an Enhanced High is that confirmation requires not just any Simple High, but confirmation of the very candle that has the highest high.
Because of this, confirmation is often later, and multiple Simple Highs and Lows can develop within ranges formed by a single big candle without any of them being confirmed. This is by design.
A True High looks like the intuitive "real high" when you look at the chart. True Lows and Highs must alternate.
@param - there are no parameters. The function uses the chart OHLC.
@returns - boolean values for whether this bar confirms an Enhanced Simple Low/High
ints for the bar_index of that Low/High
floats for the values of the recent high/low levels
floats for the trailing high/low levels (for debug/post-processing)

AMD Session Structure Levels# Market Structure & Manipulation Probability Indicator
## Overview
This advanced indicator is designed for traders who want a systematic approach to analyzing market structure, identifying manipulation, and assessing probability-based trade setups. It incorporates four core components:
### 1. Session Price Action Analysis
- Tracks **OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close)** within defined sessions.
- Implements a **dual tracking system**:
- **Official session levels** (fixed from the session open to close).
- **Real-time max/min tracking** to differentiate between temporary spikes and real price acceptance.
### 2. Market Manipulation Detection
- Identifies **manipulative price action** using the relationship between the open and close:
- If **price closes below open** → assumes **upward manipulation**, followed by **downward distribution**.
- If **price closes above open** → assumes **downward manipulation**, followed by **upward distribution**.
- Normalized using **ATR**, ensuring adaptability across different volatility conditions.
### 3. Probability Engine
- Tracks **historical wick ratios** to assess trend vs. reversal conditions.
- Calculates **conditional probabilities** for price moves.
- Uses a **special threshold system (0.45 and 0.03)** for reversal signals.
- Provides **real-time probability updates** to enhance trade decision-making.
### 4. Market Condition Classification
- Classifies market conditions using a **wick-to-body ratio**:
```pine
wick_to_body_ratio = open > close ? upper_wick / (high - low) : lower_wick / (high - low)
```
- **Low ratio (<0.25)** → Likely a **trend day**.
- **High ratio (>0.25)** → Likely a **range day**.
---
## Why This Indicator Stands Out
### ✅ Smarter Level Detection
- Uses **ATR-based dynamic levels** instead of static support/resistance.
- Differentiates **manipulation from distribution** for better decision-making.
- Updates probabilities **in real-time**.
### ✅ Memory-Efficient Design
- Implements **circular buffers** to maintain efficiency:
```pine
var float manipUp = array.new_float(lookbackPeriod, 0.0)
var float manipDown = array.new_float(lookbackPeriod, 0.0)
```
- Ensures **constant memory usage**, even over extended trading sessions.
### ✅ Advanced Probability Calculation
- Utilizes **conditional probabilities** instead of simple averages.
- Incorporates **market context** through wick analysis.
- Provides **actionable signals** via a probability table.
---
## Trading Strategy Guide
### **Best Entry Setups**
✅ Wait for **price to approach manipulation levels**.
✅ Confirm using the **probability table**.
✅ Check the **wick ratio for context**.
✅ Enter when **conditional probability aligns**.
### **Smart Exit Management**
✅ Use **distribution levels** as **profit targets**.
✅ Scale out **when probabilities shift**.
✅ Monitor **wick percentiles** for confirmation.
### **Risk Management**
✅ Size positions based on **probability readings**.
✅ Place stops at **manipulation levels**.
✅ Adjust position size based on **trend vs. range classification**.
---
## Configuration Tips
### **Session Settings**
```pine
sessionTime = input.session("0830-1500", "Session Hours")
weekDays = input.string("23456", "Active Days")
```
- Match these to your **primary trading session**.
- Adjust for different **market opens** if needed.
### **Analysis Parameters**
```pine
lookbackPeriod = input.int(50, "Lookback Period")
low_threshold = input.float(0.25, "Trend/Range Threshold")
```
- **50 periods** is a good starting point but can be optimized per instrument.
- The **0.25 threshold** is ideal for most markets but may need adjustments.
---
## Market Structure Breakdown
### **Trend/Continuation Days**
- **Characteristics:**
✅ Small **opposing wicks** (minimal counter-pressure).
✅ Clean, **directional price movement**.
- **Bullish Trend Day Example:**
✅ Small **lower wicks** (minimal downward pressure).
✅ Strong **closes near the highs** → **Buyers in control**.
- **Bearish Trend Day Example:**
✅ Small **upper wicks** (minimal upward pressure).
✅ Strong **closes near the lows** → **Sellers in control**.
### **Reversal Days**
- **Characteristics:**
✅ **Large opposing wicks** → Failed momentum in the initial direction.
- **Bullish Reversal Example:**
✅ **Large upper wick early**.
✅ **Strong close from the lows** → **Sellers failed to maintain control**.
- **Bearish Reversal Example:**
✅ **Large lower wick early**.
✅ **Weak close from the highs** → **Buyers failed to maintain control**.

## Summary
This indicator systematically quantifies market structure by measuring **manipulation, distribution, and probability-driven trade setups**. Unlike traditional indicators, it adapts dynamically using **ATR, historical probabilities, and real-time tracking** to offer a structured, data-driven approach to trading.

Market Structure MA Based BOS [liwei666]
🎲 Overview
🎯 This BOS(Break Of Structure) indicator build based on different MA such as EMA/RMA/HMA, it's usually earlier than pivothigh() method
when trend beginning, customer your BOS with 2 parameters now.
🎲 Indicator design logic
🎯 The logic is simple and code looks complex, I‘ll explain core logic but not code details.
1. use close-in EMA's highest/lowest value mark as SWING High/Low when EMA crossover/under,
not use func ta.pivothigh()/ta.pivotlow()
2. once price reaching EMA’s SWING High/Low, draw a line link High/Low to current bar, labled as BOS
3. find regular pattern benefit your trading.
🎲 Settings
🎯 there are 4 input properties in script, 2 properties are meaningful in 'GRP1' another 2 are display config in 'GRP2'.
GRP1
MA_Type: MA type you can choose(EMA/RMA/SMA/HMA), default is 'HMA'.
short_ma_len: MA length of your current timeframe on chart
GRP2
show_short_zz: Show short_ma Zigzag
show_ma_cross_signal: Show ma_cross_signal
🎲 Usage
🎯 BOS signal usually worked fine in high volatility market, low volatility is meaningless.
🎯 We can see that it performs well in trending market of different symbols, and BOS is an opportunity to add positions
BINANCE:BTCUSDTPERP
BINANCE:ETHUSDTPERP
🎯 MA Based signal is earlier than pivothigh()/pivotlow() method when trend beginning. it means higher profit-loss rate.
🎯 any questions or suggestion please comment below.
Additionally, I plan to publish 20 profitable strategies in 2023; indicatior not one of them,
let‘s witness it together!
Hope this indicator will be useful for you :)
enjoy! 🚀🚀🚀
