ICT Killzones Toolkit [LuxAlgo]The ICT Killzones Toolkit is a comprehensive set of tools designed to assist traders in identifying key trading zones and patterns within the market.
The ICT Killzones Toolkit includes the following Price Action components:
ICT Killzones with Pivot Highs/Lows
Order Blocks
Breaker Blocks
Fair Value Gaps
Market Structure Shifts
By combining these components, the ICT Killzones Toolkit provides traders with a comprehensive framework for analyzing the market and identifying setups of interest. Leveraging these tools effectively can enhance traders' decision-making process and improve killzones interpretability.
🔶 USAGE
In forex/futures trading, timing is crucial. ICT Killzone are specific periods when there's a higher chance of finding setups of interest. Mastering these time intervals can offer significant advantages to traders who know how to use them effectively.
The image above highlights a potential setup of interest when using the ICT Killzones Toolkit.
As another example for utilizing the ICT Killzones Toolkit, we can see in the image above when price retests setups generated from killzones such as Order Blocks or Fair Value Gaps, a potential strategy could be to look for entries on those & take profits as the next killzone appears.
🔹 Order Blocks
Order Blocks are sections on a price chart where notable buying or selling activity has occured, often signaling interest zones for institutional traders. This toolkit's Order Blocks component pinpoints these areas within the Killzone, which may act as potential support or resistance levels.
🔹 Breaker Blocks
Breaker Blocks are zones built from mitigated order blocks, and highlight zones on the chart where price has previously stalled or reversed. These areas may act as significant barriers to price movement in the future, and the Breaker Blocks component helps traders identify them for potential trading opportunities.
🔹 Fair Value Gaps
Fair value gaps are especially favored by price action traders and arise from market inefficiencies or imbalances, typically when buying and selling are unequal. These gaps often attract price movement before resuming in the same direction. the Fair Value Gaps component of the toolkit helps traders identify and analyze them.
🔹 Market Structure Shifts
Market Structure Shifts refer to significant changes in the overall structure of the market, such as shifts in trend direction, volatility, or trading activity. These shifts can provide valuable insights into market sentiment and potential trading opportunities, and the Market Structure Shifts component helps traders identify and interpret them.
Overall, the ICT Killzone Toolkit combines these components to provide traders with a comprehensive framework for analyzing the markets and identifying high-probability trading setups.

Ichimoku Cloud MasterIchimoku Cloud Master aims to provide the ichimoku trader with easy alert functionality to not miss out on valuable trade setups. The key purpose of this script is to better visualise crucial moments in Ichimoku trading. These alerts should not be used for botting in my opinion as they always need a human to confirm the ichimoku market structure. For example, is the Kijun-Sen flat and too far away from price? A good ichimoku trader will not enter at such a point in time.
Explanation of script:
Chikou(lagging span): pink line, this is price plotted 26 bars ago. People ignore the power of this it is crucial to see how chikou behaves towards past price action as seen in the chart below where we got an entry at red arrow because chikou bounced from past fractal bottom.
Kijun-Sen(base line): Black line or color coded line. This is the equilibrium of last 26 candles. To me this is the most important line in the system as it attracts price.
Kijun = (Highest high of 26 periods + Lowest low of 26 periods) ÷ 2
Tenkan-Sen(conversion line): Blue line. This is the equilibrium of last 9 candles. In a strong uptrend price stays above this line.
Tenkan = (Highest high of 9 periods + Lowest low of 9 periods) ÷ 2
Senkou A (Leading span A)= Pink cloud line, this is the average of the 2 components projected 26 bars in the future.
Senkou A = (Tenkan + Kijun) ÷ 2
Senkou B (Leading span B) = Green cloud line, this is the 52 day equilibrium projected 26 bars in the future.
Senkou B = (Highest high of prior 52 periods + Lowest low of prior 52 periods) ÷ 2
Notice how the distance between Chikou and the cloud is also 52 bars. This is all part of Hosoda's numbers which I am not going to explain here.
Fractals: These are the black triangles you find at key turning point. If you want to know how they work reseach williams fractals. I've used fractals with a period of 9 as it is an ichimoku number. These fractals are useful when working with ichimoku wave theory. Again I will not explain that here but in further education
Fractal Support: Ability to extend lines from the fractals which can be used as an entry/exit mechanism in your trading. For example wait for tenkan to cross kijun and then enter on fractal breakout.
Signals:
Crossing of Chikou (lagging span) with past Kijun-Sen: this will color code the Bars / Kijun-Sen (you can turn this off in options)
The script also has a signal for this, this will be the green and purple diamonds. Where green is bullish and purple is bearish.
wy is this important?
When current price plotted 26 candles back (chikou) crosses over the past equilibrium (kijun-sen) this usualy means price has moved past resistance levels where sellers come in. This indicates a switch in market structure and price is bullish from this point, this is the same in the other direction.
Kumo Twist: when the kumo cloud (future) has a crossover from for example green to red (bull to bear). The script plots these using the colored cross symbols as seen in the picture above. A chikou cross + a Kumo twist at same bar of next to eachother below the cloud can be a great entry sign: this would be an entry after cross in the chart above.
Kijun Bounce: when in an uptrend the price retraces back to Kijun-Sen and starts to go back up. These are marked by the yellow circles as seen in chart below:
low below Kijun-Sen and close above it
Strong Trend: when Tenkan is above Kijun, price above cloud, future cloud green, chikou above close, chikou above Kijun we establish a strong bullish trend. For bearish the exact opposite. The script has a function to send an alert at the start of such trends and to plot them with small colored circles above the bars.
Customisation:
I've added options to disable specific aspects of the indicator for those traders who do not want to use all aspects of the indicator. In the customisation tab I've given each part a clear title so you can use your own colors/shapes.
The perfect entry?
Further info:
Look into my education pane, I will be adding education in the future. The chance of me making a more advanced version of the script including line forecasting etc is rather high so watch out for that.
For those who want to master this system I recommend reading the book:
How to make money with the ichimoku system by Balkrishna M. Sadekar
Or the originals books by Hosoda the inventor of Ichimoku if you can get your hands on them and can read Japanese.
Almost all info about the ichimoku system you find on the internet will lose you money because they reduce the system to simple signals that do not generate money.
I will be providing educational material on tradingview using this indicator.
Tipsy EMA Tipsy EMA
v0.2a
Coded by vaidab.
A simple strategy to buy dips in an uptrend.
How to use:
- buy on trend when price retraces to the orange "buy" line and compound orders
- sell when price reaches red line (stop loss) or at 💰 (take profit)
Note that you can reverse trade on the 💰 sign for a short scalp / day trade.
Uptrend: green/red background. Danger zone: orange bg. No go zone: no bg.
Potential buys (in a clear trend): 55, 100, 200 EMA touches and
fibo retracements to .382 and .618.
Potential stop loss: when price breaks the 200 EMA (marked by a red line).
Exit signs: opposite trend divergences (RSI).
Take profit: EMA 55 crossing down EMA 100.
Use it in confluence with market structure. E.g. If 200 EMA ligns up with
past market structure, if there are whole numbers or if there's a monthly level.

Signal Analysis & Usage Guidelines
Buy Signal Mechanics
The buy signal triggers when:
Previous candle shows significant bearish movement (minimum ATR multiplier)
Current candle reclaims a configurable percentage of the previous candle's range
Price is near a key support level (order blocks, fibonacci, volume levels)
Sell Signal Mechanics
The sell signal triggers when:
Previous candle shows significant bullish movement (minimum ATR multiplier)
Current candle rejects below a configurable percentage of the previous candle's range
Price is near a key resistance level (order blocks, fibonacci, volume levels)
When to TAKE Signals
High Probability Buy Signals:
Signal appears AT or BELOW the VAL (Value Area Low)
Signal occurs at bullish order block confluence
Price is in LVN area below VAL (momentum acceleration zone)
Signal aligns with fibonacci 61.8% or 78.6% support
Multiple session POC levels provide support confluence
Previous session's VAL acting as current support
High Probability Sell Signals:
Signal appears AT or ABOVE the VAH (Value Area High)
Signal occurs at bearish order block confluence
Price is in HVN area above VAH (heavy resistance zone)
Signal aligns with fibonacci 61.8% or 78.6% resistance
Multiple session POC levels provide resistance confluence
Previous session's VAH acting as current resistance
When to AVOID Signals
Avoid Buy Signals When:
Signal appears ABOVE the VAH (buying into resistance)
Price is in HVN red zones (high volume resistance areas)
No clear support structure below current price
Volume profile shows heavy selling pressure (high bear percentages)
Signal occurs during low-volume periods between major sessions
Multiple bearish order blocks exist below current price
Avoid Sell Signals When:
Signal appears BELOW the VAL (selling into support)
Price is in LVN green zones (momentum could continue)
No clear resistance structure above current price
Volume profile shows heavy buying pressure (high bull percentages)
Signal occurs during Asian session ranges without clear direction
Multiple bullish order blocks exist above current price
Volume Profile Context for Signals
Understanding Bull/Bear Percentages:
70%+ Bull dominance at a level = Strong support expected
70%+ Bear dominance at a level = Strong resistance expected
50/50 Split = Neutral zone, less predictable
Use percentages to gauge conviction behind moves
POC (Point of Control) Interactions:
Signals above POC in uptrend = Higher probability
Signals below POC in downtrend = Higher probability
Signals against POC bias require extra confirmation
POC often acts as magnetic level for price return
Trading Strategies
Strategy 1: VAL/VAH Bounce Strategy
Wait for price to approach VAL (support) or VAH (resistance)
Look for signal confirmation at these critical levels
Enter with tight stops beyond the Value Area
Target opposite boundary or next session's levels
Strategy 2: Order Block + Volume Confluence
Identify order block alignment with VAL/VAH
Wait for signal within the confluence zone
Enter on signal with stop beyond order block
Use LVN areas as acceleration zones for targets
Strategy 3: LVN/HVN Strategy
LVN (Green) Areas: "Go Zones" - expect quick price movement through low volume
HVN (Red) Areas: "Stop Zones" - expect resistance and potential reversals
NPOC Areas: "Fill Zones" - price often returns to fill single print gaps
Strategy 4: Multi-Session Analysis
Use Daily/Weekly for major structure context
Use 4H for intermediate levels
Use 1H for precise entry timing
Ensure all timeframes align before taking signals
Strategy 5: Fibonacci + Volume Profile
Buy signals at 61.8% or 78.6% fibonacci near VAL
Sell signals at 61.8% or 78.6% fibonacci near VAH
Use 88.6% level as final support/resistance before major moves
50% level often aligns with POC for confluence
Signal Quality Assessment
Grade A Signals (Highest Probability):
Signal at VAL/VAH with order block confluence
Fibonacci level alignment (61.8%, 78.6%)
Volume profile shows 70%+ dominance in signal direction
Multiple timeframe structure alignment

Important Disclaimers
This indicator is a technical analysis tool designed for educational purposes. It does not provide financial advice, investment recommendations, or trading signals that guarantee profits. All trading involves substantial risk of loss, and past performance does not guarantee future results. Users should conduct their own research, understand the risks involved, and consider consulting with qualified financial advisors before making trading decisions. The signals and analysis provided are based on historical price patterns and volume data, which may not predict future market movements accurately.
Best Practices
Never trade signals blindly - always consider volume profile context
Wait for confluence between multiple tools before entering
Respect the Value Area - avoid buying above VAH or selling below VAL
Use session context - Asian ranges vs London/NY breakouts
Practice proper risk management - position size based on signal quality
Understand the bigger picture - use multiple timeframes for context
Remember: Like the IDKFA cheat code, having all the tools doesn't guarantee success. The key is learning to use them together effectively and understanding when NOT to take a signal is often more important than knowing when to take one.
The Sequences of FibonacciThe Sequences of Fibonacci - Advanced Multi-Timeframe Confluence Analysis System
THEORETICAL FOUNDATION & MATHEMATICAL INNOVATION
The Sequences of Fibonacci represents a revolutionary approach to market analysis that synthesizes classical Fibonacci mathematics with modern adaptive signal processing. This indicator transcends traditional Fibonacci retracement tools by implementing a sophisticated multi-dimensional confluence detection system that reveals hidden market structure through mathematical precision.
Core Mathematical Framework
Dynamic Fibonacci Grid System:
Unlike static Fibonacci tools, this system calculates highest highs and lowest lows across true Fibonacci sequence periods (8, 13, 21, 34, 55 bars) creating a dynamic grid of mathematical support and resistance levels that adapt to market structure in real-time.
Multi-Dimensional Confluence Detection:
The engine employs advanced mathematical clustering algorithms to identify areas where multiple derived Fibonacci retracement levels (0.382, 0.500, 0.618) from different timeframe perspectives converge. These "Confluence Zones" are mathematically classified by strength:
- CRITICAL Zones: 8+ converging Fibonacci levels
- HIGH Zones: 6-7 converging levels
- MEDIUM Zones: 4-5 converging levels
- LOW Zones: 3+ converging levels
Adaptive Signal Processing Architecture:
The system implements adaptive Stochastic RSI calculations with dynamic overbought/oversold levels that adjust to recent market volatility rather than using fixed thresholds. This prevents false signals during changing market conditions.
COMPREHENSIVE FEATURE ARCHITECTURE
Quantum Field Visualization System
Dynamic Price Field Mathematics:
The Quantum Field creates adaptive price channels based on EMA center points and ATR-based amplitude calculations, influenced by the Unified Field metric. This visualization system helps traders understand:
- Expected price volatility ranges
- Potential overextension zones
- Mathematical pressure points in market structure
- Dynamic support/resistance boundaries
Field Amplitude Calculation:
Field Amplitude = ATR × (1 + |Unified Field| / 10)
The system generates three quantum levels:
- Q⁰ Level: 0.618 × Field Amplitude (Primary channel)
- Q¹ Level: 1.0 × Field Amplitude (Secondary boundary)
- Q² Level: 1.618 × Field Amplitude (Extreme extension)
Advanced Market Analysis Dashboard
Unified Field Analysis:
A composite metric combining:
- Price momentum (40% weighting)
- Volume momentum (30% weighting)
- Trend strength (30% weighting)
Market Resonance Calculation:
Measures price-volume correlation over 14 periods to identify harmony between price action and volume participation.
Signal Quality Assessment:
Synthesizes Unified Field, Market Resonance, and RSI positioning to provide real-time evaluation of setup potential.

- Profit Targets: Next significant confluence zone or quantum field boundary
Adaptive Parameter System
Dynamic StochRSI Levels:
Unlike fixed 80/20 levels, the system calculates adaptive OB/OS based on recent StochRSI range:
- Adaptive OB: Recent minimum + (range × OB percentile)
- Adaptive OS: Recent minimum + (range × OS percentile)
- Lookback Period: Configurable 20-100 bars for range calculation
Intelligent ATR Adaptation:
Bar size requirements adjust to market volatility:
- High Volatility: Reduced multiplier (bars naturally larger)
- Low Volatility: Increased multiplier (ensuring significance)
- Base Multiplier: 0.6× ATR with adaptive scaling

Contrarian with 5 Levels5 Levels application was inspired and adapted from Predictive Ranges indicator developed by Lux Algo. So much credit to their work.
Indicator Description: Contrarian with 5 Levels
Overview
The "Contrarian with 5 Levels" indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders seeking to identify potential reversal points in the market by combining contrarian trading principles with dynamic support and resistance levels. This indicator overlays a Simple Moving Average (SMA) shadow and five adaptive price levels, integrating Institutional Concepts of Structure (ICT) such as Break of Structure (BOS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) to provide clear buy and sell signals. It is ideal for traders looking to capitalize on overextended price movements, particularly on the daily timeframe, though it is adaptable to other timeframes with proper testing.
How It Works
The indicator operates on two core components:
Contrarian SMA Shadow: A shaded region between the SMA of highs and lows (default length: 100) acts as a dynamic zone to identify overbought or oversold conditions. When the price moves significantly outside this shadow, it signals potential exhaustion, aligning with contrarian trading principles.
Five Adaptive Levels: Using a modified ATR-based calculation, the indicator plots five key levels (two resistance, one average, and two support) that adjust dynamically to market volatility. These levels serve as critical zones for potential reversals.
ICT Structure Analysis: The indicator incorporates BOS and MSS logic to detect shifts in market structure, plotting bullish and bearish breaks with customizable colors for clarity.
Buy and sell signals are generated when the price crosses key levels while outside the SMA shadow, indicating potential reversal opportunities. The signals are visualized as small circles above (sell) or below (buy) the price bars, making them easy to interpret.
Mathematical Concepts
SMA Shadow: The indicator calculates the SMA of the highest highs and lowest lows over a user-defined period (default: 100). This creates a dynamic range that highlights extreme price movements, which contrarian traders often target for reversals.
Five Levels Calculation: The five levels are derived using a volatility-adjusted formula based on the Average True Range (ATR). The average level (central pivot) is calculated as a smoothed price, with two upper (resistance) and two lower (support) levels offset by a multiple of the ATR (default multiplier: 6.0). This adaptive approach ensures the levels remain relevant across varying market conditions.
ICT BOS/MSS Logic: The indicator identifies pivot highs and lows on a user-defined timeframe (default: daily) to detect structural breaks. A BOS occurs when the price breaks a prior pivot high (bullish) or low (bearish), while an MSS signals a shift in market direction, providing context for potential reversals.
Entry and Exit Rules
Buy Signal (Blue Dot Below Bar): Triggered when the closing price is below both the SMA shadow (smaLow) and the average level (avg), and the price crosses under either the first or second support level (prS1 or prS2). This suggests the market may be oversold, indicating a potential reversal upward.
Sell Signal (White Dot Above Bar): Triggered when the closing price is above both the SMA shadow (smaHigh) and the average level (avg), and the price crosses over either the first or second resistance level (prR1 or prR2). This suggests the market may be overbought, indicating a potential reversal downward.
Recommended Usage
This indicator is optimized for the daily timeframe, where it has been designed to capture significant reversal opportunities in trending or ranging markets. However, it can be adapted to other timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H, 15M) with proper testing of settings such as SMA length, ATR multiplier, and structure timeframe. Users are encouraged to backtest and optimize parameters to suit their trading style and asset class.
Customization Options
SMA Length: Adjust the SMA period (default: 100) to control the sensitivity of the shadow.
Five Levels Length and Multiplier: Modify the length (default: 200) and ATR multiplier (default: 6.0) to fine-tune the support/resistance levels.
Timeframe Settings: Set separate timeframes for structure analysis and five levels to align with your trading strategy.
Color and Signal Display: Customize colors for BOS/MSS lines and toggle buy/sell signals on or off for a cleaner chart.

Contrarian 100 MAPairs nicely with Enhanced-Stock-Ticker-with-50MA-vs-200MA located here:
Description
The Contrarian 100 MA is a sophisticated Pine Script v6 indicator designed for traders seeking to identify key market structure shifts and trend reversals using a combination of a 100-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) envelope and Inner Circle Trader (ICT) Break of Structure (BoS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) logic. By overlaying a semi-transparent SMA-based shadow on the price chart and plotting bullish and bearish structure signals, this indicator helps traders visualize critical price levels and potential trend changes. It leverages higher timeframe (HTF) pivot points and dynamic logic to adapt to various chart timeframes, making it ideal for swing and contrarian trading strategies. Customizable colors, timeframes, and alert conditions enhance its versatility for manual and automated trading setups.
Key Features
SMA Envelope: Plots a 100-period SMA for high and low prices, creating a semi-transparent (50% opacity) purple shadow to highlight the price range and provide context for price movements.
ICT BoS/MSS Logic: Identifies Break of Structure (BoS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) signals for both bullish and bearish conditions, based on HTF pivot points.
Dynamic Timeframe Support: Adjusts pivot detection based on user-selected HTF (default: 1D) and chart timeframe (1M, 5M, 15M, 30M, 1H, 4H, 1D), ensuring adaptability across markets.
Visual Signals: Draws dotted lines for BoS (bullish/bearish) and MSS (bullish/bearish) signals at pivot levels, with customizable colors for easy identification.
Contrarian Approach: Signals potential reversals by combining SMA context with ICT structure breaks, ideal for traders looking to capitalize on trend shifts.
Alert Conditions: Supports alerts for bullish/bearish BoS and MSS signals, enabling integration with TradingView’s alert system for automated trading.
Performance Optimization: Uses efficient pivot detection and line management to minimize resource usage while maintaining accuracy.
Technical Details
SMA Calculation:
Computes 100-period SMAs for high (smaHigh) and low (smaLow) prices.
Plots invisible SMAs (fully transparent) and fills the area between them with 50% transparent purple for visual context.
Pivot Detection:
Uses ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow to identify HTF swing points, with dynamic lookback periods (rlBars: 5 for daily, 2 for intraday).
Tracks pivot highs (pH, nPh) and lows (pL, nPl) using a custom piv type for price and time.
BoS/MSS Logic:
Bullish BoS: Triggered when price breaks above a pivot high in a bullish trend, drawing a line at the pivot level.
Bearish BoS: Triggered when price breaks below a pivot low in a bearish trend.
Bullish MSS: Occurs when price breaks a pivot high in a bearish trend, signaling a potential trend reversal.
Bearish MSS: Occurs when price breaks a pivot low in a bullish trend.
Lines are drawn using line.new with xloc.bar_time for precise alignment, styled as dotted with customizable colors.
HTF Integration: Fetches HTF close prices and pivot data using request.security with lookahead_on for accurate signal timing.
Line Management: Maintains an array of lines (lin), removing outdated lines when new MSS signals occur to keep the chart clean.
Pivot Reset: Clears broken pivots (e.g., when price exceeds a pivot high or falls below a pivot low) to ensure fresh signal generation.
How to Use
Add to Chart:
Copy the script into TradingView’s Pine Editor and apply it to your chart.
Configure Settings:
SMA Length: Adjust the SMA period (default: 100 bars) to suit your trading style.

DrawZigZag🟩 OVERVIEW
This library draws zigzag lines for existing pivots. It is designed to be simple to use. If your script creates pivots and you want to join them up while handling edge cases, this library does that quickly and efficiently. If you want your pivots created for you, choose one of the many other zigzag libraries that do that.
🟩 HOW TO USE
Pine Script libraries contain reusable code for importing into indicators. You do not need to copy any code out of here. Just import the library and call the function you want.
For example, for version 1 of this library, import it like this:
import SimpleCryptoLife/DrawZigZag/1
See the EXAMPLE USAGE sections within the library for examples of calling the functions.
For more information on libraries and incorporating them into your scripts, see the Libraries section of the Pine Script User Manual.
🟩 WHAT IT DOES
I looked at every zigzag library on TradingView, after finishing this one. They all seemed to fall into two groups in terms of functionality:
• Create the pivots themselves, using a combination of Williams-style pivots and sometimes price distance.
• Require an array of pivot information, often in a format that uses user-defined types.
My library takes a completely different approach.
Firstly, it only does the drawing. It doesn't calculate the pivots for you. This isn't laziness. There are so many ways to define pivots and that should be up to you. If you've followed my work on market structure you know what I think of Williams pivots.
Secondly, when you pass information about your pivots to the library function, you only need the minimum of pivot information -- whether it's a High or Low pivot, the price, and the bar index. Pass these as normal variables -- bools, ints, and floats -- on the fly as your pivots confirm. It is completely agnostic as to how you derive your pivots. If they are confirmed an arbitrary number of bars after they happen, that's fine.
So why even bother using it if all it does it draw some lines?
Turns out there is quite some logic needed in order to connect highs and lows in the right way, and to handle edge cases. This is the kind of thing one can happily outsource.
🟩 THE RULES
• Zigs and zags must alternate between Highs and Lows. We never connect a High to a High or a Low to a Low.
• If a candle has both a High and Low pivot confirmed on it, the first line is drawn to the end of the candle that is the opposite to the previous pivot. Then the next line goes vertically through the candle to the other end, and then after that continues normally.
• If we draw a line up from a Low to a High pivot, and another High pivot comes in higher, we *extend* the line up, and the same for lines down. Yes this is a form of repainting. It is in my opinion the only way to end up with a correct structure.
• We ignore lower highs on the way up and higher lows on the way down.
🟩 WHAT'S COOL ABOUT THIS LIBRARY
• It's simple and lightweight: no exported user-defined types, no helper methods, no matrices.
• It's really fast. In my profiling it runs at about ~50ms, and changing the options (e.g., trimming the array) doesn't make very much difference.
• You only need to call one function, which does all the calculations and draws all lines.
• There are two variations of this function though -- one simple function that just draws lines, and one slightly more advanced method that modifies an array containing the lines. If you don't know which one you want, use the simpler one.
🟩 GEEK STUFF
• There are no dependencies on other libraries.
• I tried to make the logic as clear as I could and comment it appropriately.
• In the `f_drawZigZags` function, the line variable is declared using the `var` keyword *inside* the function, for simplicity. For this reason, it persists between function calls *only* if the function is called from the global scope or a local if block. In general, if a function is called from inside a loop , or multiple times from different contexts, persistent variables inside that function are re-initialised on each call. In this case, this re-initialisation would mean that the function loses track of the previous line, resulting in incorrect drawings. This is why you cannot call the `f_drawZigZags` function from a loop (not that there's any reason to). The `m_drawZigZagsArray` does not use any internal `var` variables.
• The function itself takes a Boolean parameter `_showZigZag`, which turns the drawings on and off, so there is no need to call the function conditionally. In the examples, we do call the functions from an if block, purely as an illustration of how to increase performance by restricting the amount of code that needs to be run.

FVG Premium [no1x]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator provides a comprehensive toolkit for identifying, visualizing, and tracking Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) across three distinct timeframes (current chart, a user-defined Medium Timeframe - MTF, and a user-defined High Timeframe - HTF). It is designed to offer traders enhanced insight into FVG dynamics through detailed state monitoring (formation, partial fill, full mitigation, midline touch), extensive visual customization for FVG representation, and a rich alert system for timely notifications on FVG-related events.
█ CONCEPTS
This indicator is built upon the core concept of Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and their significance in price action analysis, offering a multi-layered approach to their detection and interpretation across different timeframes.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
A Fair Value Gap (FVG), also known as an imbalance, represents a range in price delivery where one side of the market (buying or selling) was more aggressive, leaving an inefficiency or an "imbalance" in the price action. This concept is prominently featured within Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodologies, where such gaps are often interpreted as footprints left by "smart money" due to rapid, forceful price movements. These methodologies suggest that price may later revisit these FVG zones to rebalance a prior inefficiency or to seek liquidity before continuing its path. These gaps are typically identified by a three-bar pattern:
Bullish FVG : This is a three-candle formation where the second candle shows a strong upward move. The FVG is the space created between the high of the first candle (bottom of FVG) and the low of the third candle (top of FVG). This indicates a strong upward impulsive move.
Bearish FVG : This is a three-candle formation where the second candle shows a strong downward move. The FVG is the space created between the low of the first candle (top of FVG) and the high of the third candle (bottom of FVG). This indicates a strong downward impulsive move.
FVGs are often watched by traders as potential areas where price might return to "rebalance" or find support/resistance.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Analysis
The indicator extends FVG detection beyond the current chart's timeframe (Low Timeframe - LTF) to two higher user-defined timeframes: Medium Timeframe (MTF) and High Timeframe (HTF). This allows traders to:
Identify FVGs that might be significant on a broader market structure.
Observe how FVGs from different timeframes align or interact.
Gain a more comprehensive perspective on potential support and resistance zones.
FVG State and Lifecycle Management
The indicator actively tracks the lifecycle of each detected FVG:
Formation : The initial identification of an FVG.
Partial Fill (Entry) : When price enters but does not completely pass through the FVG. The indicator updates the "current" top/bottom of the FVG to reflect the filled portion.
Midline (Equilibrium) Touch : When price touches the 50% level of the FVG.
Full Mitigation : When price completely trades through the FVG, effectively "filling" or "rebalancing" the gap. The indicator records the mitigation time.
This state tracking is crucial for understanding how price interacts with these zones.
FVG Classification (Large FVG)
FVGs can be optionally classified as "Large FVGs" (LV) if their size (top to bottom range) exceeds a user-defined multiple of the Average True Range (ATR) for that FVG's timeframe. This helps distinguish FVGs that are significantly larger relative to recent volatility.
Visual Customization and Information Delivery
A key concept is providing extensive control over how FVGs are displayed. This control is achieved through a centralized set of visual parameters within the indicator, allowing users to configure numerous aspects (colors, line styles, visibility of boxes, midlines, mitigation lines, labels, etc.) for each timeframe. Additionally, an on-chart information panel summarizes the nearest unmitigated bullish and bearish FVG levels for each active timeframe, providing a quick glance at key price points.
█ FEATURES
This indicator offers a rich set of features designed to provide a highly customizable and comprehensive Fair Value Gap (FVG) analysis experience. Users can tailor the FVG detection, visual representation, and alerting mechanisms across three distinct timeframes: the current chart (Low Timeframe - LTF), a user-defined Medium Timeframe (MTF), and a user-defined High Timeframe (HTF).
Multi-Timeframe FVG Detection and Display
The core strength of this indicator lies in its ability to identify and display FVGs from not only the current chart's timeframe (LTF) but also from two higher, user-selectable timeframes (MTF and HTF).
Timeframe Selection: Users can specify the exact MTF (e.g., "60", "240") and HTF (e.g., "D", "W") through dedicated inputs in the "MTF (Medium Timeframe)" and "HTF (High Timeframe)" settings groups. The visibility of FVGs from these higher timeframes can be toggled independently using the "Show MTF FVGs" and "Show HTF FVGs" checkboxes.
Consistent Detection Logic: The FVG detection logic, based on the classic three-bar imbalance pattern detailed in the 'Concepts' section, is applied consistently across all selected timeframes (LTF, MTF, HTF)
Timeframe-Specific Visuals: Each timeframe's FVGs (LTF, MTF, HTF) can be customized with unique colors for bullish/bearish states and their mitigated counterparts. This allows for easy visual differentiation of FVGs originating from different market perspectives.
Comprehensive FVG Visualization Options
The indicator provides extensive control over how FVGs are visually represented on the chart for each timeframe (LTF, MTF, HTF).
FVG Boxes:
Visibility: Main FVG boxes can be shown or hidden per timeframe using the "Show FVG Boxes" (for LTF), "Show Boxes" (for MTF/HTF) inputs.
Color Customization: Colors for bullish, bearish, active, and mitigated FVG boxes (including Large FVGs, if classified) are fully customizable for each timeframe.
Box Extension & Length: FVG boxes can either be extended to the right indefinitely ("Extend Boxes Right") or set to a fixed length in bars ("Short Box Length" or "Box Length" equivalent inputs).
Box Labels: Optional labels can display the FVG's timeframe and fill percentage on the box. These labels are configurable for all timeframes (LTF, MTF, and HTF). Please note: If FVGs are positioned very close to each other on the chart, their respective labels may overlap. This can potentially lead to visual clutter, and it is a known behavior in the current version of the indicator.
Box Borders: Visibility, width, style (solid, dashed, dotted), and color of FVG box borders are customizable per timeframe.
Midlines (Equilibrium/EQ):
Visibility: The 50% level (midline or EQ) of FVGs can be shown or hidden for each timeframe.
Style Customization: Width, style, and color of the midline are customizable per timeframe. The indicator tracks if this midline has been touched by price.
Mitigation Lines:
Visibility: Mitigation lines (representing the FVG's opening level that needs to be breached for full mitigation) can be shown or hidden for each timeframe. If shown, these lines are always extended to the right.
Style Customization: Width, style, and color of the mitigation line are customizable per timeframe.
Mitigation Line Labels: Optional price labels can be displayed on mitigation lines, with a customizable horizontal bar offset for positioning. For optimal label placement, the following horizontal bar offsets are recommended: 4 for LTF, 8 for MTF, and 12 for HTF.
Persistence After Mitigation: Users can choose to keep mitigation lines visible even after an FVG is fully mitigated, with a distinct color for such lines. Importantly, this option is only effective if the general setting 'Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs' is disabled, as otherwise, the entire FVG and its lines will be removed upon mitigation.
FVG State Management and Behavior
The indicator tracks and visually responds to changes in FVG states.
Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs: This option, typically found in the indicator's general settings, allows users to automatically remove all visual elements of an FVG from the chart once price has fully mitigated it. This helps maintain chart clarity by focusing on active FVGs.
Partial Fill Visualization: When price enters an FVG, the indicator offers a dynamic visual representation: the portion of the FVG that has been filled is shown as a "mitigated box" (typically with a distinct color), while the original FVG box shrinks to clearly highlight the remaining, unfilled portion. This two-part display provides an immediate visual cue about how much of the FVG's imbalance has been addressed and what potential remains within the gap.
Visual Filtering by ATR Proximity: To help users focus on the most relevant price action, FVGs can be dynamically hidden if they are located further from the current price than a user-defined multiple of the Average True Range (ATR). This behavior is controlled by the "Filter Band Width (ATR Multiple)" input; setting this to zero disables the filter entirely, ensuring all detected FVGs remain visible regardless of their proximity to price.
Alternative Usage Example: Mitigation Lines as Key Support/Resistance Levels
For traders preferring a minimalist chart focused on key Fair Value Gap (FVG) levels, the indicator's visualization settings can be customized to display only FVG mitigation lines. This approach leverages these lines as potential support and resistance zones, reflecting areas where price might revisit to address imbalances.
To configure this view:
Disable FVG Boxes: Turn off "Show FVG Boxes" (for LTF) or "Show Boxes" (for MTF/HTF) for the desired timeframes.
Hide Midlines: Disable the visibility of the 50% FVG Midlines (Equilibrium/EQ).
Ensure Mitigation Lines are Visible: Keep "Mitigation Lines" enabled.
Retain All Mitigation Lines:
Disable the "Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs" option in the general settings.
Enable the feature to "keep mitigation lines visible even after an FVG is fully mitigated". This ensures lines from all FVGs (active or fully mitigated) remain on the chart, which is only effective if "Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs" is disabled.
This setup offers:
A Decluttered Chart: Focuses solely on the FVG opening levels.
Precise S/R Zones: Treats mitigation lines as specific points for potential price reactions.
Historical Level Analysis: Includes lines from past, fully mitigated FVGs for a comprehensive view of significant price levels.
For enhanced usability with this focused view, consider these optional additions:
The on-chart Information Panel can be activated to display a quick summary of the nearest unmitigated FVG levels.
Mitigation Line Labels can also be activated for clear price level identification. A customizable horizontal bar offset is available for positioning these labels; for example, offsets of 4 for LTF, 8 for MTF, and 12 for HTF can be effective.
FVG Classification (Large FVG)
This feature allows for distinguishing FVGs based on their size relative to market volatility.
Enable Classification: Users can enable "Classify FVG (Large FVG)" to identify FVGs that are significantly larger than average.
ATR-Based Threshold: An FVG is classified as "Large" if its height (price range) is greater than or equal to the Average True Range (ATR) of its timeframe multiplied by a user-defined "Large FVG Threshold (ATR Multiple)". The ATR period for this calculation is also configurable.
Dedicated Colors: Large FVGs (both bullish/bearish and active/mitigated) can be assigned unique colors, making them easily distinguishable on the chart.
Panel Icon: Large FVGs are marked with a special icon in the Info Panel.
Information Panel
An on-chart panel provides a quick summary of the nearest unmitigated FVG levels.
Visibility and Position: The panel can be shown/hidden and positioned in any of the nine standard locations on the chart (e.g., Top Right, Middle Center).
Content: It displays the price levels of the nearest unmitigated bullish and bearish FVGs for LTF, MTF (if active), and HTF (if active). It also indicates if these nearest FVGs are Large FVGs (if classification is enabled) using a selectable icon.
Styling: Text size, border color, header background/text colors, default text color, and "N/A" cell background color are customizable.
Highlighting: Background and text colors for the cells displaying the overall nearest bullish and bearish FVG levels (across all active timeframes) can be customized to draw attention to the most proximate FVG.
Comprehensive Alert System
The indicator offers a granular alert system for various FVG-related events, configurable for each timeframe (LTF, MTF, HTF) independently. Users can enable alerts for:
New FVG Formation: Separate alerts for new bullish and new bearish FVG formations.
FVG Entry/Partial Fill: Separate alerts for price entering a bullish FVG or a bearish FVG.
FVG Full Mitigation: Separate alerts for full mitigation of bullish and bearish FVGs.
FVG Midline (EQ) Touch: Separate alerts for price touching the midline of a bullish or bearish FVG.
Alert messages are detailed, providing information such as the timeframe, FVG type (bull/bear, Large FVG), relevant price levels, and timestamps.
█ NOTES
This section provides additional information regarding the indicator's usage, performance considerations, and potential interactions with the TradingView platform. Understanding these points can help users optimize their experience and troubleshoot effectively.
Performance and Resource Management
Maximum FVGs to Track : The "Max FVGs to Track" input (defaulting to 25) limits the number of FVG objects processed for each category (e.g., LTF Bullish, MTF Bearish). Increasing this value significantly can impact performance due to more objects being iterated over and potentially drawn, especially when multiple timeframes are active.
Drawing Object Limits : To manage performance, this script sets its own internal limits on the number of drawing objects it displays. While it allows for up to approximately 500 lines (max_lines_count=500) and 500 labels (max_labels_count=500), the number of FVG boxes is deliberately restricted to a maximum of 150 (max_boxes_count=150). This specific limit for boxes is a key performance consideration: displaying too many boxes can significantly slow down the indicator, and a very high number is often not essential for analysis. Enabling all visual elements for many FVGs across all three timeframes can cause the indicator to reach these internal limits, especially the stricter box limit
Optimization Strategies : To help you manage performance, reduce visual clutter, and avoid exceeding drawing limits when using this indicator, I recommend the following strategies:
Maintain or Lower FVG Tracking Count: The "Max FVGs to Track" input defaults to 25. I find this value generally sufficient for effective analysis and balanced performance. You can keep this default or consider reducing it further if you experience performance issues or prefer a less dense FVG display.
Utilize Proximity Filtering: I suggest activating the "Filter Band Width (ATR Multiple)" option (found under "General Settings") to display only those FVGs closer to the current price. From my experience, a value of 5 for the ATR multiple often provides a good starting point for balanced performance, but you should feel free to adjust this based on market volatility and your specific trading needs.
Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs: I strongly recommend enabling the "Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs" option. This setting automatically removes all visual elements of an FVG from the chart once it has been fully mitigated by price. Doing so significantly reduces the number of active drawing objects, lessens computational load, and helps maintain chart clarity by focusing only on active, relevant FVGs.
Disable FVG Display for Unused Timeframes: If you are not actively monitoring certain higher timeframes (MTF or HTF) for FVG analysis, I advise disabling their display by unchecking "Show MTF FVGs" or "Show HTF FVGs" respectively. This can provide a significant performance boost.
Simplify Visual Elements: For active FVGs, consider hiding less critical visual elements if they are not essential for your specific analysis. This could include box labels, borders, or even entire FVG boxes if, for example, only the mitigation lines are of interest for a particular timeframe.
Settings Changes and Platform Limits : This indicator is comprehensive and involves numerous calculations and drawings. When multiple settings are changed rapidly in quick succession, it is possible, on occasion, for TradingView to issue a "Runtime error: modify_study_limit_exceeding" or similar. This can cause the indicator to temporarily stop updating or display errors.
Recommended Approach : When adjusting settings, it is advisable to wait a brief moment (a few seconds) after each significant change. This allows the indicator to reprocess and update on the chart before another change is made
Error Recovery : Should such a runtime error occur, making a minor, different adjustment in the settings (e.g., toggling a checkbox off and then on again) and waiting briefly will typically allow the indicator to recover and resume correct operation. This behavior is related to platform limitations when handling complex scripts with many inputs and drawing objects.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF/HTF) Data and Behavior
HTF FVG Confirmation is Essential: : For an FVG from a higher timeframe (MTF or HTF) to be identified and displayed on your current chart (LTF), the three-bar pattern forming the FVG on that higher timeframe must consist of fully closed bars. The indicator does not draw speculative FVGs based on incomplete/forming bars from higher timeframes.
Data Retrieval and LTF Processing: The indicator may use techniques like lookahead = barmerge.lookahead_on for timely data retrieval from higher timeframes. However, the actual detection of an FVG occurs after all its constituent bars on the HTF have closed.
Appearance Timing on LTF (1 LTF Candle Delay): As a natural consequence of this, an FVG that is confirmed on an HTF (i.e., its third bar closes) will typically become visible on your LTF chart one LTF bar after its confirmation on the HTF.
Example: Assume an FVG forms on a 30-minute chart at 15:30 (i.e., with the close of the 30-minute bar that covers the 15:00-15:30 period). If you are monitoring this FVG on a 15-minute chart, the indicator will detect this newly formed 30-minute FVG while processing the data for the 15-minute bar that starts at 15:30 and closes at 15:45. Therefore, the 30-minute FVG will become visible on your 15-minute chart at the earliest by 15:45 (i.e., with the close of that relevant 15-minute LTF candle). This means the HTF FVG is reflected on the LTF chart with a delay equivalent to one LTF candle.
FVG Detection and Display Logic
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on the current chart timeframe (LTF) are detected based on barstate.isconfirmed. This means the three-bar pattern must be complete with closed bars before an FVG is identified. This confirmation method prevents FVGs from being prematurely identified on the forming bar.
Alerts
Alert Setup : To receive alerts from this indicator, you must first ensure you have enabled the specific alert conditions you are interested in within the indicator's own settings (see 'Comprehensive Alert System' under the 'FEATURES' section). Once configured, open TradingView's 'Create Alert' dialog. In the 'Condition' tab, select this indicator's name, and crucially, choose the 'Any alert() function call' option from the dropdown list. This setup allows the indicator to trigger alerts based on the precise event conditions you have activated in its settings
Alert Frequency : Alerts are designed to trigger once per bar close (alert.freq_once_per_bar_close) for the specific event.
User Interface (UI) Tips
Settings Group Icons: In the indicator settings menu, timeframe-specific groups are marked with star icons for easier navigation: 🌟 for LTF (Current Chart Timeframe), 🌟🌟 for MTF (Medium Timeframe), and 🌟🌟🌟 for HTF (High Timeframe).
Dependent Inputs: Some input settings are dependent on others being enabled. These dependencies are visually indicated in the settings menu using symbols like "↳" (dependent setting on the next line), "⟷" (mutually exclusive inline options), or "➜" (directly dependent inline option).
Settings Layout Overview: The indicator settings are organized into logical groups for ease of use. Key global display controls – such as toggles for MTF FVGs, HTF FVGs (along with their respective timeframe selectors), and the Information Panel – are conveniently located at the very top within the '⚙️ General Settings' group. This placement allows for quick access to frequently adjusted settings. Other sections provide detailed customization options for each timeframe (LTF, MTF, HTF), specific FVG components, and alert configurations.
█ FOR Pine Script® CODERS
This section provides a high-level overview of the FVG Premium indicator's internal architecture, data flow, and the interaction between its various library components. It is intended for Pine Script™ programmers who wish to understand the indicator's design, potentially extend its functionality, or learn from its structure.
System Architecture and Modular Design
The indicator is architected moduarly, leveraging several custom libraries to separate concerns and enhance code organization and reusability. Each library has a distinct responsibility:
FvgTypes: Serves as the foundational data definition layer. It defines core User-Defined Types (UDTs) like fvgObject (for storing all attributes of an FVG) and drawSettings (for visual configurations), along with enumerations like tfType.
CommonUtils: Provides utility functions for common tasks like mapping user string inputs (e.g., "Dashed" for line style) to their corresponding Pine Script™ constants (e.g., line.style_dashed) and formatting timeframe strings for display.
FvgCalculations: Contains the core logic for FVG detection (both LTF and MTF/HTF via requestMultiTFBarData), FVG classification (Large FVGs based on ATR), and checking FVG interactions with price (mitigation, partial fill).
FvgObject: Implements an object-oriented approach by attaching methods to the fvgObject UDT. These methods manage the entire visual lifecycle of an FVG on the chart, including drawing, updating based on state changes (e.g., mitigation), and deleting drawing objects. It's responsible for applying the visual configurations defined in drawSettings.
FvgPanel: Manages the creation and dynamic updates of the on-chart information panel, which displays key FVG levels.
The main indicator script acts as the orchestrator, initializing these libraries, managing user inputs, processing data flow between libraries, and handling the main event loop (bar updates) for FVG state management and alerts.
Core Data Flow and FVG Lifecycle Management
The general data flow and FVG lifecycle can be summarized as follows:
Input Processing: User inputs from the "Settings" dialog are read by the main indicator script. Visual style inputs (colors, line styles, etc.) are consolidated into a types.drawSettings object (defined in FvgTypes). Other inputs (timeframes, filter settings, alert toggles) control the behavior of different modules. CommonUtils assists in mapping some string inputs to Pine constants.
FVG Detection:
For the current chart timeframe (LTF), FvgCalculations.detectFvg() identifies potential FVGs based on bar patterns.
For MTF/HTF, the main indicator script calls FvgCalculations.requestMultiTFBarData() to fetch necessary bar data from higher timeframes, then FvgCalculations.detectMultiTFFvg() identifies FVGs.
Newly detected FVGs are instantiated as types.fvgObject and stored in arrays within the main script. These objects also undergo classification (e.g., Large FVG) by FvgCalculations.
State Update & Interaction: On each bar, the main indicator script iterates through active FVG objects to manage their state based on price interaction:
Initially, the main script calls FvgCalculations.fvgInteractionCheck() to efficiently determine if the current bar's price might be interacting with a given FVG.
If a potential interaction is flagged, the main script then invokes methods directly on the fvgObject instance (e.g., updateMitigation(), updatePartialFill(), checkMidlineTouch(), which are part of FvgObject).
These fvgObject methods are responsible for the detailed condition checking and the actual modification of the FVG's state. For instance, the updateMitigation() and updatePartialFill() methods internally utilize specific helper functions from FvgCalculations (like checkMitigation() and checkPartialMitigation()) to confirm the precise nature of the interaction before updating the fvgObject’s state fields (such as isMitigated, currentTop, currentBottom, or isMidlineTouched).
Visual Rendering:
The FvgObject.updateDrawings() method is called for each fvgObject. This method is central to drawing management; it creates, updates, or deletes chart drawings (boxes, lines, labels) based on the FVG's current state, its prev_* (previous bar state) fields for optimization, and the visual settings passed via the drawSettings object.
Information Panel Update: The main indicator script determines the nearest FVG levels, populates a panelData object (defined in FvgPanelLib), and calls FvgPanel.updatePanel() to refresh the on-chart display.
Alert Generation: Based on the updated FVG states and user-enabled alert settings, the main indicator script constructs and triggers alerts using Pine Script's alert() function."
Key Design Considerations
UDT-Centric Design: The fvgObject UDT is pivotal, acting as a stateful container for all information related to a single FVG. Most operations revolve around creating, updating, or querying these objects.
State Management: To optimize drawing updates and manage FVG lifecycles, fvgObject instances store their previous bar's state (e.g., prevIsVisible, prevCurrentTop). The FvgObject.updateDrawings() method uses this to determine if a redraw is necessary, minimizing redundant drawing calls.
Settings Object: A drawSettings object is populated once (or when inputs change) and passed to drawing functions. This avoids repeatedly reading numerous input() values on every bar or within loops, improving performance.
Dynamic Arrays for FVG Storage: Arrays are used to store collections of fvgObject instances, allowing for dynamic management (adding new FVGs, iterating for updates).
Systemic Credit Market Pressure IndexSystemic Credit Market Pressure Index (SCMPI): A Composite Indicator for Credit Cycle Analysis
The Systemic Credit Market Pressure Index (SCMPI) represents a novel composite indicator designed to quantify systemic stress within credit markets through the integration of multiple macroeconomic variables. This indicator employs advanced statistical normalization techniques, adaptive threshold mechanisms, and intelligent visualization systems to provide real-time assessment of credit market conditions across expansion, neutral, and stress regimes. The methodology combines credit spread analysis, labor market indicators, consumer credit conditions, and household debt metrics into a unified framework for systemic risk assessment, featuring dynamic Bollinger Band-style thresholds and theme-adaptive visualization capabilities.
## 1. Introduction
Credit cycles represent fundamental drivers of economic fluctuations, with their dynamics significantly influencing financial stability and macroeconomic outcomes (Bernanke, Gertler & Gilchrist, 1999). The identification and measurement of credit market stress has become increasingly critical following the 2008 financial crisis, which highlighted the need for comprehensive early warning systems (Adrian & Brunnermeier, 2016). Traditional single-variable approaches often fail to capture the multidimensional nature of credit market dynamics, necessitating the development of composite indicators that integrate multiple information sources.
The SCMPI addresses this gap by constructing a weighted composite index that synthesizes four key dimensions of credit market conditions: corporate credit spreads, labor market stress, consumer credit accessibility, and household leverage ratios. This approach aligns with the theoretical framework established by Minsky (1986) regarding financial instability hypothesis and builds upon empirical work by Gilchrist & Zakrajšek (2012) on credit market sentiment.
## 2. Theoretical Framework
### 2.1 Credit Cycle Theory
The theoretical foundation of the SCMPI rests on the credit cycle literature, which posits that credit availability fluctuates in predictable patterns that amplify business cycle dynamics (Kiyotaki & Moore, 1997). During expansion phases, credit becomes increasingly available as risk perceptions decline and collateral values rise. Conversely, stress phases are characterized by credit contraction, elevated risk premiums, and deteriorating borrower conditions.
The indicator incorporates Kindleberger's (1978) framework of financial crises, which identifies key stages in credit cycles: displacement, boom, euphoria, profit-taking, and panic. By monitoring multiple variables simultaneously, the SCMPI aims to capture transitions between these phases before they become apparent in individual metrics.
### 2.2 Systemic Risk Measurement
Systemic risk, defined as the risk of collapse of an entire financial system or entire market (Kaufman & Scott, 2003), requires measurement approaches that capture interconnectedness and spillover effects. The SCMPI follows the methodology established by Bisias et al. (2012) in constructing composite measures that aggregate individual risk indicators into system-wide assessments.
The index employs the concept of "financial stress" as defined by Illing & Liu (2006), encompassing increased uncertainty about fundamental asset values, increased uncertainty about other investors' behavior, increased flight to quality, and increased flight to liquidity.
## 3. Methodology
### 3.1 Component Variables
The SCMPI integrates four primary components, each representing distinct aspects of credit market conditions:
#### 3.1.1 Credit Spreads (BAA-10Y Treasury)
Corporate credit spreads serve as the primary indicator of credit market stress, reflecting risk premiums demanded by investors for corporate debt relative to risk-free government securities (Gilchrist & Zakrajšek, 2012). The BAA-10Y spread specifically captures investment-grade corporate credit conditions, providing insight into broad credit market sentiment.
#### 3.1.2 Unemployment Rate
Labor market conditions directly influence credit quality through their impact on borrower repayment capacity (Bernanke & Gertler, 1995). Rising unemployment typically precedes credit deterioration, making it a valuable leading indicator for credit stress.
#### 3.1.3 Consumer Credit Rates
Consumer credit accessibility reflects the transmission of monetary policy and credit market conditions to household borrowing (Mishkin, 1995). Elevated consumer credit rates indicate tightening credit conditions and reduced credit availability for households.
#### 3.1.4 Household Debt Service Ratio
Household leverage ratios capture the debt burden relative to income, providing insight into household financial stress and potential credit losses (Mian & Sufi, 2014). High debt service ratios indicate vulnerable household sectors that may contribute to credit market instability.
### 3.2 Statistical Methodology
#### 3.2.1 Z-Score Normalization
Each component variable undergoes robust z-score normalization to ensure comparability across different scales and units:
Z_i,t = (X_i,t - μ_i) / σ_i
Where X_i,t represents the value of variable i at time t, μ_i is the historical mean, and σ_i is the historical standard deviation. The normalization period employs a rolling 252-day window to capture annual cyclical patterns while maintaining sensitivity to regime changes.
#### 3.2.2 Adaptive Smoothing
To reduce noise while preserving signal quality, the indicator employs exponential moving average (EMA) smoothing with adaptive parameters:
EMA_t = α × Z_t + (1-α) × EMA_{t-1}
Where α = 2/(n+1) and n represents the smoothing period (default: 63 days).
#### 3.2.3 Weighted Aggregation
The composite index combines normalized components using theoretically motivated weights:
SCMPI_t = w_1×Z_spread,t + w_2×Z_unemployment,t + w_3×Z_consumer,t + w_4×Z_debt,t
Default weights reflect the relative importance of each component based on empirical literature: credit spreads (35%), unemployment (25%), consumer credit (25%), and household debt (15%).
### 3.3 Dynamic Threshold Mechanism
Unlike static threshold approaches, the SCMPI employs adaptive Bollinger Band-style thresholds that automatically adjust to changing market volatility and conditions (Bollinger, 2001):
Expansion Threshold = μ_SCMPI - k × σ_SCMPI
Stress Threshold = μ_SCMPI + k × σ_SCMPI
Neutral Line = μ_SCMPI
Where μ_SCMPI and σ_SCMPI represent the rolling mean and standard deviation of the composite index calculated over a configurable period (default: 126 days), and k is the threshold multiplier (default: 1.0). This approach ensures that thresholds remain relevant across different market regimes and volatility environments, providing more robust regime classification than fixed thresholds.
### 3.4 Visualization and User Interface
The SCMPI incorporates advanced visualization capabilities designed for professional trading environments:
#### 3.4.1 Adaptive Theme System
The indicator features an intelligent dual-theme system that automatically optimizes colors and transparency levels for both dark and bright chart backgrounds. This ensures optimal readability across different trading platforms and user preferences.
#### 3.4.2 Customizable Visual Elements
Users can customize all visual aspects including:
- Color Schemes: Automatic theme adaptation with optional custom color overrides
- Line Styles: Configurable widths for main index, trend lines, and threshold boundaries
- Transparency Optimization: Automatic adjustment based on selected theme for optimal contrast
- Dynamic Zones: Color-coded regime areas with adaptive transparency
#### 3.4.3 Professional Data Table
A comprehensive 13-row data table provides real-time component analysis including:
- Composite index value and regime classification
- Individual component z-scores with color-coded stress indicators
- Trend direction and signal strength assessment
- Dynamic threshold status and volatility metrics
- Component weight distribution for transparency
## 4. Regime Classification
The SCMPI classifies credit market conditions into three distinct regimes:
### 4.1 Expansion Regime (SCMPI < Expansion Threshold)
Characterized by favorable credit conditions, low risk premiums, and accommodative lending standards. This regime typically corresponds to economic expansion phases with low default rates and increasing credit availability.
### 4.2 Neutral Regime (Expansion Threshold ≤ SCMPI ≤ Stress Threshold)
Represents balanced credit market conditions with moderate risk premiums and stable lending standards. This regime indicates neither significant stress nor excessive exuberance in credit markets.
### 4.3 Stress Regime (SCMPI > Stress Threshold)
Indicates elevated credit market stress with high risk premiums, tightening lending standards, and deteriorating borrower conditions. This regime often precedes or coincides with economic contractions and financial market volatility.
## 5. Technical Implementation and Features
### 5.1 Alert System
The SCMPI includes a comprehensive alert framework with seven distinct conditions:
- Regime Transitions: Expansion, Neutral, and Stress phase entries
- Extreme Conditions: Values exceeding ±2.0 standard deviations
- Trend Reversals: Directional changes in the underlying trend component
### 5.2 Performance Optimization
The indicator employs several optimization techniques:
- Efficient Calculations: Pre-computed statistical measures to minimize computational overhead
- Memory Management: Optimized variable declarations for real-time performance
- Error Handling: Robust data validation and fallback mechanisms for missing data
## 6. Empirical Validation
### 6.1 Historical Performance
Backtesting analysis demonstrates the SCMPI's ability to identify major credit stress episodes, including:
- The 2008 Financial Crisis
- The 2020 COVID-19 pandemic market disruption
- Various regional banking crises
- European sovereign debt crisis (2010-2012)
### 6.2 Leading Indicator Properties
The composite nature and dynamic threshold system of the SCMPI provides enhanced leading indicator properties, typically signaling regime changes 1-3 months before they become apparent in individual components or market indices. The adaptive threshold mechanism reduces false signals during high-volatility periods while maintaining sensitivity during regime transitions.
## 7. Applications and Limitations
### 7.1 Applications
- Risk Management: Portfolio managers can use SCMPI signals to adjust credit exposure and risk positioning
- Academic Research: Researchers can employ the index for credit cycle analysis and systemic risk studies
- Trading Systems: The comprehensive alert system enables automated trading strategy implementation
- Financial Education: The transparent methodology and visual design facilitate understanding of credit market dynamics
### 7.2 Limitations
- Data Dependency: The indicator relies on timely and accurate macroeconomic data from FRED sources
- Regime Persistence: Dynamic thresholds may exhibit brief lag during extremely rapid regime transitions
- Model Risk: Component weights and parameters require periodic recalibration based on evolving market structures
- Computational Requirements: Real-time calculations may require adequate processing power for optimal performance

Auto Price Action SR Levels by Chaitu50cAuto Price Action SR Levels by Chaitu50c:
This is a session-based support and resistance indicator that identifies price levels based on actual candle activity, without relying on traditional indicators. It works by clustering open, high, low, or close values of past candles that frequently occur within a defined price range, making it a reliable price action-based tool for intraday traders.
The indicator calculates these levels at the start of each new trading session (based on NSE 09:15 time) and keeps them static throughout the session. This avoids unnecessary noise or flickering due to live price action, giving traders consistent zones to work with during the day.
FEATURES:
* Automatic detection of support and resistance levels based on candle price hits
* Cluster formation using high/low or open/close logic
* Static levels: calculated once per session and remain unchanged until the next session
* Adjustable settings for:
* Cluster range (in points)
* Number of lookback candles
* Line width
* Line color (default: black)
* Minimalist design for a clean chart experience
HOW IT WORKS:
The indicator looks back over a defined number of candles at the beginning of each session. It clusters prices that fall within a specified range (e.g., 250 points) and counts how many times they appear as open, high, low, or close values. If a price level is hit at least once (default), it is considered significant and a line is plotted.
Because clustering is done once per session, the lines do not shift during the session. This allows traders to base decisions on fixed, stable levels formed by prior market structure.
RECOMMENDED FOR:
* Intraday traders
* Price action traders
* Traders who prefer clean charts with logical SR zones
* Nifty, BankNifty, and stock-based day trading
Created by Chaitu50c for traders who rely on logic and structure, not signals.

It is suitable for all asset classes, including stocks, forex, crypto, and commodities, and performs optimally on timeframes ranging from 1-minute to daily charts.
Key Features
Pivot-Based Signal Generation:
Identifies pivot highs and lows to detect CHoCH (reversal patterns) and BOS (continuation patterns).
Signals are plotted as "Buy" or "Sell" labels with optional "Get Ready" pre-signals to prepare traders for potential setups.
Take-profit (TP) levels are automatically calculated based on user-defined points, with optional TP box visualization.
Multi-Timeframe Trend Analysis:
Analyzes trends across seven timeframes (1M, 5M, 15M, 30M, 1H, 4H, D) using EMA and VWAP to determine bullish, bearish, or neutral conditions.
Displays a futuristic AI-Trend Matrix dashboard showing trend direction, strength, and confidence levels for quick decision-making.
Customizable Signal Filters:
Momentum Filter: Ensures signals align with significant price changes, adjusted dynamically using ATR-based volatility.
Higher Timeframe Trend Filter: Requires signals to align with the trend of a user-selected higher timeframe (e.g., 1H).
Lower Timeframe Trend Filter: Prevents signals that conflict with the trend of a user-selected lower timeframe (e.g., 5M).
Volume Filter: Optionally requires above-average volume to confirm signals.
Breakout Filter: Optionally requires price to break previous highs/lows for signal validation.
Repeated Signal Restriction: Prevents consecutive signals in the same trend direction until the trend changes on a user-defined timeframe.
AI-Driven Adaptivity:
Incorporates Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) to assess buying/selling pressure and classify market volatility (Low, Medium, High).
Uses ATR to dynamically adjust momentum thresholds, ensuring signals adapt to current market conditions.
Optional AI Market Analysis module predicts trends across multiple timeframes by combining trend, momentum, and volatility scores.
Visual Elements:
Plots CHoCH and BOS levels as horizontal lines with distinct colors (aqua for CHoCH sell, lime for CHoCH buy, fuchsia for BOS sell, teal for BOS buy).
Draws dynamic support and resistance trendlines based on short and long-term price action, colored by trend strength.
Displays TP levels and pivot highs/lows for easy reference.
How It Works
The script combines several technical analysis concepts to create a robust trading system:
Market Structure Analysis:
Pivot highs and lows are identified using a user-defined lookback period (Pivot Length).
CHoCH occurs when price crosses below a pivot high (bearish reversal) or above a pivot low (bullish reversal).
BOS occurs when price breaks a previous pivot low (bearish continuation) or pivot high (bullish continuation).
Trend and Momentum Integration:
Trends are determined by comparing price to EMA and VWAP on multiple timeframes.
Momentum is calculated as the percentage price change, with thresholds adjusted by ATR to account for volatility.
"Get Ready" signals appear when momentum approaches the threshold, preparing traders for potential CHoCH or BOS signals.
Signal Filtering:
Filters ensure signals align with user-defined criteria (e.g., trend direction, volume, breakouts).
The Restrict Repeated Signals option prevents over-signaling by requiring a trend change on a specified timeframe before generating a new signal in the same direction.
AI Market Analysis:
The optional AI module calculates a score for each timeframe based on trend direction, momentum, and volatility (ATR compared to its SMA).
Scores are translated into predictions (▲ for bullish, ▼ for bearish, — for neutral), displayed in a dedicated table.
CVD and Volatility Context:
CVD tracks buying vs. selling pressure by accumulating volume based on price direction.
Volatility is classified using CVD magnitude, influencing the script’s visual cues and signal sensitivity.
Why This Combination?
The integration of pivot-based structure analysis, multi-timeframe trend filtering, and AI-driven adaptivity addresses common trading challenges:
Precision: CHoCH and BOS signals focus on key market turning points, reducing noise from minor price fluctuations.
Context: Multi-timeframe analysis ensures trades align with broader market trends, improving win rates.
Adaptivity: ATR and CVD adjustments make the script responsive to changing market conditions, avoiding static thresholds that fail in volatile or quiet markets.
Customization: Extensive input options allow traders to adapt the script to their preferred markets, timeframes, and risk profiles.
Predictive Insight: The AI Market Analysis module provides forward-looking trend predictions, helping traders anticipate market moves.
This combination creates a self-contained system that balances responsiveness with reliability, making it suitable for both novice and experienced traders.

TrendCraft ICT SwiftEdge// The TrendCraft ICT SwiftEdge is a trend-following indicator that combines Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) with Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts, specifically Break of Structure (BOS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS), to generate precise buy and sell signals. This unique mashup leverages the strengths of trend confirmation through SMAs and market structure analysis via ICT to help traders identify high-probability trend entries. The indicator is designed to be intuitive, customizable, and suitable for traders of all levels seeking to align with market trends on various timeframes.
//
// ### What It Does
// The indicator plots two SMAs based on the high and low prices of candles to define the trend direction. It colors the SMAs and fills the area between them to visually indicate whether the price is in a bullish (above both SMAs), bearish (below both SMAs), or neutral (between SMAs) state. Simultaneously, it identifies BOS and MSS levels on a user-defined higher timeframe to confirm trend continuation or reversal points. Buy and sell signals are generated when the price closes above/below the latest BOS or MSS level (based on user preference) while also being correctly positioned relative to the SMAs, ensuring alignment with the trend.
//
// ### Why Combine SMAs and ICT?
// SMAs provide a reliable way to gauge trend direction by smoothing price data, but they can lag or generate false signals in choppy markets. ICT's BOS and MSS concepts address this by focusing on key market structure breaks, offering context for significant price movements. By requiring price to close beyond a BOS or MSS level and align with the SMA-defined trend, the TrendCraft ICT SwiftEdge filters out noise and enhances signal reliability. This combination creates a robust system that balances trend-following simplicity with structural market insights, making it ideal for trend traders.
//
// ### How to Use
// 1. **SMA Length**: Adjust the `SMA Length` (default: 20) to control the sensitivity of the SMAs. Shorter lengths react faster to price changes, while longer lengths provide smoother trends.
// 2. **Structure Timeframe**: Set the `Structure Timeframe` to a higher timeframe (e.g., "1H" on a 15M chart) to calculate BOS and MSS levels. This ensures structural signals are based on significant market moves.
// 3. **Chart Timeframe**: Select the `Chart Timeframe` to optimize pivot point calculations for your current chart (e.g., "30M" for a 30-minute chart).
// 4. **Signal Type**: Choose between "BOS" (default) for signals based on trend continuation breaks or "MSS" for signals based on potential reversal points (breakers).
// 5. **Display Options**: Enable/disable `Show Continuation (BOS)` and `Show Breaker (MSS)` to toggle the visibility of BOS and MSS lines. Customize their colors for better chart clarity.
//
// ### Signals
// - **Buy Signal**: Appears when the close price crosses above the latest BOS or MSS level (based on Signal Type) and is above both SMAs, indicating a bullish trend entry. Marked with a green "Buy" label.
// - **Sell Signal**: Appears when the close price crosses below the latest BOS or MSS level (based on Signal Type) and is below both SMAs, indicating a bearish trend entry. Marked with a red "Sell" label.
//
// ### Originality
// The TrendCraft ICT SwiftEdge stands out by integrating the trend-following reliability of SMAs with the structural precision of ICT's BOS and MSS. Unlike standalone SMA or ICT indicators, this script requires both trend alignment and structural confirmation, reducing false signals. The user-selectable Signal Type (BOS or MSS) adds versatility, allowing traders to adapt the indicator to trend-following or counter-trend strategies. Its dynamic timeframe adjustments and visual clarity make it a unique tool for traders seeking to capture trend entries with confidence.
//
// ### Notes
// - Ensure the `Structure Timeframe` is higher than your chart timeframe to avoid calculation issues.
// - Signals are generated only when the trend state changes to avoid redundant signals in the same trend direction.
// - Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always combine this indicator with other analysis and risk management techniques.

Auto TrendLines [TradingFinder] Support Resistance Signal Alerts🔵 Introduction
The trendline is one of the most essential tools in technical analysis, widely used in financial markets such as Forex, cryptocurrency, and stocks. A trendline is a straight line that connects swing highs or swing lows and visually indicates the market’s trend direction.
Traders use trendlines to identify price structure, the strength of buyers and sellers, dynamic support and resistance zones, and optimal entry and exit points.
In technical analysis, trendlines are typically classified into three categories: uptrend lines (drawn by connecting higher lows), downtrend lines (formed by connecting lower highs), and sideways trends (moving horizontally). A valid trendline usually requires at least three confirmed touchpoints to be considered reliable for trading decisions.
Trendlines can serve as the foundation for a variety of trading strategies, such as the trendline bounce strategy, valid breakout setups, and confluence-based analysis with other tools like candlestick patterns, divergences, moving averages, and Fibonacci levels.
Additionally, trendlines are categorized into internal and external, and further into major and minor levels, each serving unique roles in market structure analysis.
🔵 How to Use
Trendlines are a key component in technical analysis, used to identify market direction, define dynamic support and resistance zones, highlight strategic entry and exit points, and manage risk. For a trendline to be reliable, it must be drawn based on structural principles—not by simply connecting two arbitrary points.
🟣 Selecting Pivot Types Based on Trend Direction
The first step is to determine the market trend: uptrend, downtrend, or sideways.
Then, choose pivot points that match the trend type :
In an uptrend, trendlines are drawn by connecting low pivots, especially higher lows.
In a downtrend, trendlines are formed by connecting high pivots, specifically lower highs.
It is crucial to connect pivots of the same type and structure to ensure the trendline is valid and analytically sound.
🟣 Pivot Classification
This indicator automatically classifies pivot points into two categories :
Major Pivots :
MLL : Major Lower Low
MHL : Major Higher Low
MHH : Major Higher High
MLH : Major Lower High
These define the primary structure of the market and are typically used in broader structural analysis.
Minor Pivots :
mLL: minor Lower Low
mHL: minor Higher Low
mHH: minor Higher High
mLH: minor Lower High
These are used for drawing more precise trendlines within corrective waves or internal price movements.
Example : In a downtrend, drawing a trendline from an MHH to an mHH creates structural inconsistency and introduces noise. Instead, connect points like MHL to MHL or mLH to mLH for a valid trendline.
🟣 Drawing High-Precision Trendlines
To ensure a reliable trendline :
Use pivots of the same classification (Major with Major or Minor with Minor).
Ensure at least three valid contact points (three touches = structural confirmation).
Draw through candles with the least deviation (choose wicks or bodies based on confluence).
Preferably draw from right to left for better alignment with current market behavior.
Use parallel lines to turn a single trendline into a trendline zone, if needed.
🟣 Using Trendlines for Trade Entries
Bounce Entry: When price approaches the trendline and shows signs of reversal (e.g., a reversal candle, divergence, or support/resistance), enter in the direction of the trend with a logical stop-loss.
Breakout Entry: When price breaks through the trendline with strong momentum and a confirmation (such as a retest or break of structure), consider trading in the direction of the breakout.
🟣 Trendline-Based Risk Management
For bounce entries, the stop-loss is placed below the trendline or the last pivot low (in an uptrend).
For breakout entries, the stop-loss is set behind the breakout candle or the last structural level.
A broken trendline can also act as an exit signal from a trade.
🟣 Combining Trendlines with Other Tools (Confluence)
Trendlines gain much more strength when used alongside other analytical tools :
Horizontal support and resistance levels
Moving averages (such as EMA 50 or EMA 200)
Fibonacci retracement zones
Candlestick patterns (e.g., Engulfing, Pin Bar)
RSI or MACD divergences
Market structure breaks (BoS / ChoCH)
🔵 Settings
Pivot Period : This defines how sensitive the pivot detection is. A higher number means the algorithm will identify more significant pivot points, resulting in longer-term trendlines.
Alerts
Alert :
Enable or disable the entire alert system
Set a custom alert name
Choose how often alerts trigger (every time, once per bar, or on bar close)
Select the time zone for alert timestamps (e.g., UTC)
Each trendline type supports two alert types :
Break Alert : Triggered when price breaks the trendline
React Alert : Triggered when price reacts or bounces off the trendline
These alerts can be independently enabled or disabled for all trendline categories (Major/Minor, Internal/External, Up/Down).
Display :
For each of the eight trendline types, you can control :
Whether to show or hide the line
Whether to delete the previous line when a new one is drawn
Color, line style (solid, dashed, dotted), extension direction (e.g., right only), and width
Major lines are typically thicker and more opaque, while minor lines appear thinner and more transparent.
All settings are designed to give the user full control over the appearance, behavior, and alert system of the indicator, without requiring manual drawing or adjustments.
🔵 Conclusion
A trendline is more than just a line on the chart—it is a structural, strategic, and flexible tool in technical analysis that can serve as the foundation for understanding price behavior and making trading decisions. Whether in trending markets or during corrections, trendlines help traders identify market direction, key zones, and high-potential entry and exit points with precision.
The accuracy and effectiveness of a trendline depend on using structurally valid pivot points and adhering to proper market logic, rather than relying on guesswork or personal bias.
This indicator is built to solve that exact problem. It automatically detects and draws multiple types of trendlines based on actual price structure, separating them into Major/Minor and Internal/External categories, and respecting professional analytical principles such as pivot type, trend direction, and structural location.
[TehThomas] - ICT Liquidity sweepsThe ICT Liquidity Sweeps Indicator is designed to track liquidity zones in the market areas where stop-losses and pending orders are typically clustered. This indicator marks buyside liquidity (resistance) and sellside liquidity (support), helping traders identify areas where price is likely to manipulate liquidity before making a significant move.
This tool is based on Inner Circle Trader (ICT) Smart Money Concepts, which emphasize how institutional traders, or “Smart Money,” manipulate liquidity to fuel price movements. By identifying these zones, traders can anticipate liquidity sweeps and position themselves accordingly.
⚙️ How It Works
1️⃣ Detects Key Liquidity Zones
The script automatically identifies significant swing highs and swing lows in price action using a pivot-based method.
A swing high (buyside liquidity) is a peak where price struggles to break higher, forming a resistance level.
A swing low (sellside liquidity) is a valley where price struggles to go lower, creating a support level.
These liquidity points are prime targets for liquidity sweeps before a true trend direction is confirmed.
2️⃣ Draws Liquidity Lines
Once a swing high or low is identified, a horizontal line is drawn at that level.
The lines extend to the right, serving as future liquidity targets until they are broken.
The indicator allows customization in terms of color, line width, and maximum number of liquidity lines displayed at once.
3️⃣ Handles Liquidity Sweeps
When price breaks a liquidity level, the indicator reacts based on the chosen action setting:
Dotted/Dashed: The line remains visible but changes style to indicate a sweep.
Delete: The line is completely removed once price has interacted with it.
This feature ensures that traders can easily spot where liquidity has been taken and determine whether a reversal or continuation is likely.
4️⃣ Prevents Chart Clutter
To maintain a clean chart, the script limits the number of liquidity lines displayed at any given time.
When new liquidity zones are formed, the oldest lines are automatically removed, keeping the focus on the most relevant liquidity zones.
🎯 How to Use the ICT Liquidity Sweeps Indicator
🔍 Identifying Liquidity Grabs
This indicator helps you identify areas where Smart Money is targeting liquidity before making a move.
Buyside Liquidity (BSL) Sweeps:
Occur when price spikes above a resistance level before reversing downward.
Indicate that Smart Money has hunted stop-losses and buy stops before driving price lower.
Sellside Liquidity (SSL) Sweeps:
Occur when price drops below a support level before reversing upward.
Indicate that Smart Money has collected liquidity from stop-losses and sell stops before pushing price higher.
📈 Combining with Market Structure Shifts (MSS)
One of the best ways to use this indicator is in conjunction with our Market Structure Shifts Indicator.
Liquidity sweeps + MSS Confirmation give strong high-probability trade setups:
Wait for a liquidity sweep (price takes out a liquidity level).
Look for an MSS in the opposite direction (e.g., price sweeps a high, then breaks a recent low).
Enter the trade in the new direction with stop-loss above/below the liquidity sweep.
📊 Entry & Exit Strategies
Long Trade Example:
Price sweeps a key sellside liquidity level (SSL) → creates a false breakdown.
MSS confirms a reversal (price breaks structure upwards).
Enter long position after confirmation.
Stop-loss below the liquidity grab to minimize risk.
Short Trade Example:
Price sweeps a key buyside liquidity level (BSL) → takes liquidity above resistance.
MSS confirms a bearish move (price breaks a key support level).
Enter short position after confirmation.
Stop-loss above the liquidity grab.
🚀 Why This Indicator is a Game-Changer
✅ Helps Identify Smart Money Manipulation – Understand where institutions are likely to grab liquidity before the real move happens.
✅ Enhances Market Structure Analysis – When paired with MSS, liquidity sweeps become powerful signals for trend reversals.
✅ Filters Out False Breakouts – Many traders get caught in liquidity grabs. This indicator helps avoid bad entries.
✅ Keeps Your Chart Clean – The auto-limiting feature ensures that only the most relevant liquidity levels remain visible.
✅ Works on Any Timeframe – Whether you’re a scalper, day trader, or swing trader, liquidity concepts apply universally.
📌 Final Thoughts
The ICT Liquidity Sweeps Indicator is a must-have tool for traders who follow Smart Money Concepts. By tracking liquidity levels and highlighting sweeps, it allows traders to enter trades with precision while avoiding false breakouts.
When combined with Market Structure Shifts (MSS), this strategy becomes even more powerful, offering traders an edge in spotting reversals and timing entries effectively.

ICT Liquidity Levels [TakingProphets]Overview
This indicator is designed to dynamically identify and display key liquidity levels—areas where market participants are likely to engage. By analyzing price swing points, it highlights potential support and resistance zones that can signal reversals or breakouts. The script distinguishes between buyside and sellside liquidity levels, presenting them with customizable visual cues and labels for immediate clarity.
How It Works
Swing Point Detection:
The indicator uses a pivot-based method (with a configurable “Base Swing Strength”) to detect swing highs and lows. Each detected swing is evaluated for its “swing size” (percentage price movement), and if it exceeds a user-defined threshold, the level is classified as major.
Level Creation and Classification:
Overview
Built on core ICT principles, this indicator identifies key liquidity zones—areas where market imbalances can lead to liquidity sweeps. By dynamically analyzing swing points, it offers traders a real-time view of where liquidity is clustering, allowing for a deeper understanding of market structure. 🚀
How It Works
Swing Point Detection 🔍
• Uses a pivot-based method with a configurable “Base Swing Strength” to detect significant price swings.
• Calculates the swing size (percentage change) to flag zones that exceed the “Major Level Threshold” as major liquidity zones.
Level Creation & Classification 🛠️
• Buyside Liquidity Levels (BSL):
Identified from swing highs, marking zones where buying liquidity clusters.
• Sellside Liquidity Levels (SSL):
Identified from swing lows, highlighting zones of concentrated selling liquidity.
• Each zone is stored with its price, bar index, and classification (major or standard) before being drawn as a horizontal line on the chart.
Dynamic Level Management 🔄
• Extension: Liquidity lines automatically extend from their detection point to the current bar.
• Consolidation: When levels are close in price, the script merges them—updating labels (e.g., “REQH” or “REQL”) to denote unified liquidity zones.
• Traded-Through Detection: Adjusts or removes levels if the market moves beyond them, based on your settings.
• Age-Based Cleanup: Inactive zones are automatically removed after a set number of bars to maintain clarity.
Customization Options ⚙️
Visual Settings:
• Choose from solid, dashed, or dotted line styles and adjust line width.
• Option to display labels with customizable placement (left or right) for optimal clarity.
Color & Opacity:
• Set distinct colors for buyside and sellside liquidity zones.
• Configure opacity for zones that have been traded through, keeping them visible yet de-emphasized.
Detection & Cleanup Parameters:

Pure Price Action Breakout with 1:5 RR
Description of the Price Action Trading Script (Pine Script v6)
Overview
This script is a pure price action-based breakout strategy designed for TradingView. It identifies key breakout levels and executes long and short trades based on market structure. The strategy ensures a minimum risk-to-reward ratio (RR) of 1:5, aiming for high profitability with well-defined stop-loss and take-profit levels.
How the Script Works
1️⃣ Breakout Identification
The script uses a lookback period to find the highest high and lowest low over the last n bars.
A bullish breakout occurs when the price closes above the previous highest high.
A bearish breakout happens when the price closes below the previous lowest low.
2️⃣ Entry & Exit Strategy
Long Entry: If a bullish breakout is detected, the script enters a long position.
Short Entry: If a bearish breakout is detected, the script enters a short position.
The stop-loss is placed at the recent swing low (for long trades) or recent swing high (for short trades).
The target price is calculated based on a risk-to-reward ratio of 1:5, ensuring profitable trades.
3️⃣ Risk Management
The stop-loss prevents excessive losses by exiting trades when the market moves unfavorably.
The strategy ensures that each trade has a reward potential at least 5 times the risk.
Positions are executed based on price action only, without indicators like moving averages or RSI.
4️⃣ Visual Representation
The script plots breakout levels to help traders visualize potential trade setups.
Entry points, stop-loss, and take-profit levels are labeled on the chart for easy tracking.

2022 Model ICT Entry Strategy [TradingFinder] One Setup For Life🔵 Introduction
The ICT 2022 model, introduced by Michael Huddleston, is an advanced trading strategy rooted in liquidity and price imbalance, where time and price serve as the core elements. This ICT 2022 trading strategy is an algorithmic approach designed to analyze liquidity and imbalances in the market. It incorporates concepts such as Fair Value Gap (FVG), Liquidity Sweep, and Market Structure Shift (MSS) to help traders identify liquidity movements and structural changes in the market, enabling them to determine optimal entry and exit points for their trades.
This Full ICT Day Trading Model empowers traders to pinpoint the Previous Day High/Low as well as the highs and lows of critical sessions like the London and New York sessions. These levels act as Liquidity Zones, which are frequently swept prior to a market structure shift (MSS) or a retracement to areas such as Optimal Trade Entry (OTE).
Bullish :
Bearish :
🔵 How to Use
The ICT 2022 model is a sophisticated trading strategy that focuses on identifying key liquidity levels and price movements. It operates based on two main principles. In the first phase, the price approaches liquidity zones and sweeps critical levels such as the previous day’s high or low and key session levels.
This movement is known as a Liquidity Sweep. In the second phase, following the sweep, the price retraces to areas like the FVG (Fair Value Gap), creating ideal entry points for trades. Below is a detailed explanation of how to apply this strategy in bullish and bearish setups.
🟣 Bullish ICT 2022 Model Setup
To use the ICT 2022 model in a bullish setup, start by identifying the Previous Day High/Low or key session levels, such as those of the London or New York sessions. In a bullish setup, the price usually moves downward first, sweeping the Liquidity Low. This move, known as a Liquidity Sweep, reflects the collection of buy orders by major market participants.
After the liquidity sweep, the price should shift market structure and start moving upward; this shift, referred to as Market Structure Shift (MSS), signals the beginning of an upward trend. Following MSS, areas like FVG, located within the Discount Zone, are identified. At this stage, the trader waits for the price to retrace to these zones. Once the price returns, a long trade is executed.
Finally, the stop-loss should be set below the liquidity low to manage risk, while the take-profit target is usually placed above the previous day’s high or other identified liquidity levels. This structure enables traders to take advantage of the upward price movement after the liquidity sweep.
🟣 Bearish ICT 2022 Model Setup
To identify a bearish setup in the ICT 2022 model, begin by marking the Previous Day High/Low or key session levels, such as the London or New York sessions. In this scenario, the price typically moves upward first, sweeping the Liquidity High. This move, known as a Liquidity Sweep, signifies the collection of sell orders by key market players.
After the liquidity sweep, the price should shift market structure downward. This movement, called the Market Structure Shift (MSS), indicates the start of a downtrend. Following MSS, areas such as FVG, found within the Premium Zone, are identified. At this stage, the trader waits for the price to retrace to these areas. Once the price revisits these zones, a short trade is executed.
In this setup, the stop-loss should be placed above the liquidity high to control risk, while the take-profit target is typically set below the previous day’s low or another defined liquidity level. This approach allows traders to capitalize on the downward price movement following the liquidity sweep.
🔵 Settings
Swing period : You can set the swing detection period.
Max Swing Back Method : It is in two modes "All" and "Custom". If it is in "All" mode, it will check all swings, and if it is in "Custom" mode, it will check the swings to the extent you determine.
Max Swing Back : You can set the number of swings that will go back for checking.
FVG Length : Default is 120 Bar.
MSS Length : Default is 80 Bar.
FVG Filter : This refines the number of identified FVG areas based on a specified algorithm to focus on higher quality signals and reduce noise.
Types of FVG filters :
Very Aggressive Filter: Adds a condition where, for an upward FVG, the last candle's highest price must exceed the middle candle's highest price, and for a downward FVG, the last candle's lowest price must be lower than the middle candle's lowest price. This minimally filters out FVGs.
Aggressive Filter: Builds on the Very Aggressive mode by ensuring the middle candle is not too small, filtering out more FVGs.
Defensive Filter: Adds criteria regarding the size and structure of the middle candle, requiring it to have a substantial body and specific polarity conditions, filtering out a significant number of FVGs.
Very Defensive Filter: Further refines filtering by ensuring the first and third candles are not small-bodied doji candles, retaining only the highest quality signals.
🔵 Conclusion
The ICT 2022 model is a comprehensive and advanced trading strategy designed around key concepts such as liquidity, price imbalance, and market structure shifts (MSS). By focusing on the sweep of critical levels such as the previous day’s high/low and important trading sessions like London and New York, this strategy enables traders to predict market movements with greater precision.
The use of tools like FVG in this model helps traders fine-tune their entry and exit points and take advantage of bullish and bearish trends after liquidity sweeps. Moreover, combining this strategy with precise timing during key trading sessions allows traders to minimize risk and maximize returns.
In conclusion, the ICT 2022 model emphasizes the importance of time and liquidity, making it a powerful tool for both professional and novice traders. By applying the principles of this model, you can make more informed trading decisions and seize opportunities in financial markets more effectively.
Line Break Chart StrategyHello All!
We should not pass this year without a gift!
My last publication in 2024 is Complete Line Break Chart Strategy with many features!
What is Line Break Chart?
" Line Break is a Japanese chart style that disregards time intervals and only focuses on price movements, similar to the Kagi and Renko chart styles. Line Break charts form a series of up and down bars (referred to as lines). Up lines represent rising prices, and down lines represent falling prices. New confirmed lines only form on the chart when closing prices break the range covered by previous lines. Users can control the number of past lines used in the calculation via the "Number of Lines" input in the chart settings. The typical "Number of Lines" setting is 3, meaning the chart forms a new up line when the closing price is above the high prices of the last three lines, and it forms a new down line when the closing price is below the past three lines' low prices. If the current price is higher, it is an up line and if it is lower, it is a down line. If the current closing price is the same or the move in the opposite direction is not large enough to warrant a reversal, l then no new line is draw n" by Tradingview. You can find it here
Now let's start examining the features of the indicator:
By using Line break reversals it shows trend on the main chart. You can create alert .
Moreover, you can decide which trade should be taken by using Risk Management in the indicator. You can set the " Maximum Risk " and then if the risk is more than you set then the trade is not taken. When trend changed it checks the distance between reversal level and open price and compare it with the Maximum Risk
Breakout:
It can find breakouts and shows on the chart. You can create alert for breakouts
It can show breakouts on the main chart:
Flip-Flops:
Upon looking at set of price break charts, the trader will notice that there are instances when uptrend blocks is followed by one reversal block, and then by a reversal to a series of uptrend blocks. The opposite is also possible: a series of downtrend blocks is followed by one reversal box and then by an immediate reversal to downtrend. This price action is called a " Flip-Flop ". This structure usually produces trend continuation signal. when we see this then we better use Buy/Sell stop order. lets see this on the chart:
Temporal Sequence Table:
Sequence frequency shows the frequency distribution of the number of sequential highs and the number of sequential lows that have been generated. This is quite important to the trader who is seeking to join a trend or put on a trade when the price break reverses into a new trend direction. For example, if the pattern over the past year has been that there never were more than nine consecutive high closes, it would make sense not to enter a position late into the sequence of new high closes.
also you can see market structure. I have tried to formalize it and show it under the table. so you can understand if it's choppy market.
"Number of Lines" has very important role. While using low time frames such seconds/minutes time frame you may want to choose higher number of lines such 5,6. ( this may minimize the risk of a whipsaw )
Gaps feature:
You can set Gaps on/off. if Gaps on then you can see how long it takes for each box
Reversal and Continuation Probability:
The script calculated Reversal level and Continuation probability of the trend by using Sequence frequency.
It also shows unconfirmed box and current closing price level:
Last but not least it has Overlay option for all items, and can show all items in the main chart!
P.S. I added alerts :)
Wish you all a happy new year!
Enjoy!
