FVG Order Blocks [BigBeluga]This indicator is an advanced tool designed to detect and visualize market FVGs with order blocks, where the price action has created gaps due to strong buying or selling pressure. These FVG often act as critical support and resistance levels, giving traders strategic points for potential entries and exits. The indicator not only identifies these imbalances but also displays their relative strength by size %, helping traders prioritize order blocks that are more likely to hold or break.
The indicator works on various pairs and stocks, it also works on charts that do not provide volume data
Forex (JPY/USD):
Stocks (NVDA):
🔵 KEY FEATURES & USAGE
● FVGs Detection and Visualization:
The indicator detects bullish and bearish FVGs. Bullish FVG occur when there is significant buying, and order block is plotted below the FVG zone:
Conversely, bearish FVG are plotted with an order block above the zone, indicating potential resistance.
Traders can use these order blocks to anticipate price reactions when the market revisits these areas, making them ideal for setting up trades.
● FVG Filtering:
The indicator includes a FVG % filter that allows traders to only display strong order blocks. This ensures that only significant FVG order blocks are shown, reducing noise and focusing on the most impactful areas.
● Highlighting Broken Levels:
When an imbalance level is broken—either breached by price action or no longer relevant—the indicator can either delete the level or mark it with a gray color areas. This provides a clear visual cue that the level has been compromised, allowing traders to adjust their strategies accordingly.
● Order Blocks Signals:
When price retest the blocks, indicator display potential sell or buy signals. Which can be an opportunity for trades
🔵 CUSTOMIZATION
● FVG Filter:
Adjust the strength filter to control which FVGs are displayed based on their percentage size. This filter helps in focusing only on significant blocks that are likely to impact price action.
● Order Blocks Amount Displayed:
Set the maximum number of Order Blocks to be displayed on the chart. This customization helps keep the chart clean and ensures that only the most important blocks are in view.
● Broken Order Blocks Display:
Choose whether to display order blocks that have been broken by the price. This feature helps in maintaining a focus on blocks that are still valid while filtering out those that are no longer relevant.
● Color Customization:
You can customize the colors for bullish and bearish Order Blocks to match your chart's overall color scheme. Additionally, strength bars can be color-coded based on their percentage to quickly identify high-priority order blocks.
Traders who are confident in the settings of the indicator can confidently use it on various types of markets

Advanced Order Blocks by AccountantXThe "Advanced Order Blocks by AccountantX" is tool designed to identify and visualize significant order blocks in the market.
This script goes beyond traditional order block detection by integrating advanced features such as volume threshold filtering, ATR-based sizing, and higher timeframe considerations.
How It works:
A. General data :
- Order Block Detection: Identifies bullish and bearish order blocks based on swing highs and lows, with options to filter by volume thresholds to ensure significant levels.
- Volume Threshold: Only displays order blocks where the volume exceeds a user-defined threshold, ensuring the highlighted zones are of particular significance.
- ATR-Based Sizing: Offers the option to use the Average True Range (ATR) for sizing order blocks, allowing for dynamic adjustment based on market volatility.
- Higher Timeframe Integration: Includes the ability to display order blocks from a higher timeframe, providing a broader market perspective.
- Customizable Appearance: Users can customize the colors and transparency of the order blocks, ensuring they fit seamlessly with any chart setup.
B. Code explanation :
- The script allows you to set a minimum volume threshold. Order blocks are only shown if the volume during their formation exceeds this threshold, ensuring that only significant price levels are highlighted.
- When enabled, the ATR (Average True Range) is used to size the order blocks. This means the height of the blocks adjusts dynamically with market volatility, providing a more accurate representation of significant zones.
- The script can display order blocks from a higher timeframe on your current chart. This is useful for aligning shorter-term trading decisions with broader market trends.
C. How to Use:
a) Set the volume threshold to filter out less significant order blocks. Adjust the value according to the typical volume of your trading instrument;
b) Enable the ATR-based sizing and set the period and multiplier to match your trading style. This helps in identifying order blocks relative to market volatility;
c) Choose a higher timeframe if you want to see significant order blocks from a broader market perspective. This can help in making more informed trading decisions.

IPDA with Order Blocks [Enhanced]Summary of the Code
This script plots IPDA Standard Deviations on a price chart, helping traders visualize potential support and resistance levels based on a series of user-defined deviations. It uses swing high/low points and time-based fractal lookbacks (monthly, weekly, daily, or intraday) to define price anchors and compute deviation lines.
Key features include:
Deviations: It calculates and plots deviation levels based on the distance between swing highs and lows, which traders can use as price targets or zones of interest.
Timeframes:
Monthly (higher timeframe analysis)
Weekly (medium-term analysis)
Daily and Intraday (shorter-term precision)
Customization:
Choose which deviation levels (e.g., 0, 1, -1, -2) to display.
Hide labels or adjust their sizes for cleaner charts.
Option to remove invalidated deviation levels dynamically.
Visual Cleanliness: Automatically removes clutter by hiding or deleting invalid deviation levels and focusing on active price zones.
How to Utilize It for Intraday Trading to Make $1,000
Here’s how to effectively use the indicator to optimize intraday trading:
1. Set the Right Timeframe:
Use the 15-minute or 1-hour chart for intraday setups.
Ensure the "Intraday" lookback option is enabled to focus on shorter-term swings.
2. Interpret the Levels:
Bearish Order Blocks: Look for red lines (bearish deviation) as potential resistance zones where the price may reverse downward.
Bullish Order Blocks: Look for green lines (bullish deviation) as potential support zones where the price may bounce upward.
3. Plan Entries and Exits:
Entry: Buy near a green order block or short near a red order block, confirming the trade with additional signals (e.g., candlestick patterns, momentum indicators).
Stop Loss: Place your stop below the green line (for buys) or above the red line (for shorts).
Profit Targets: Use deviation levels as targets (e.g., from the 0 level to +1 or -1).
4. Combine with Market Context:
Use the script alongside volume profile, trend indicators, or news events for confirmation.
Avoid trading during major news events unless aligned with deviations.
5. Position Sizing for $1,000 Goal:
Trade liquid instruments like Nasdaq futures (NQ) or major forex pairs.
Risk 1-2% of your capital on each trade and scale into positions if confirmed.
Target a profit of 10-20 points per trade on Nasdaq futures, with 1-2 trades daily.
6. Monitor Key Timeframes:
Pre-market (before 9:30 AM EST): Mark deviation levels to predict market open behavior.
Midday & Power Hour (3-4 PM EST): Watch for breakouts or retests around key deviation levels.
By combining this tool with disciplined risk management and a clear trading plan, you can systematically work toward your profit target while minimizing unnecessary risks
SMC Structure Indicator## SMC Structure Indicator by IMSHAHROKH
This indicator is a comprehensive tool for traders who use **Smart Money Concepts (SMC)** or **ICT** methodologies. It is designed to automatically identify and visualize key market structure elements, helping traders to make more informed decisions by cleaning up the chart and highlighting only what matters.
---
### **Key Features**
* **Major Pivots:** Automatically plots major swing highs and lows (pivots) based on a user-defined lookback period. This helps in identifying the current market trend and structure.
* **Change of Character (CHOCH):** Identifies and labels a "Change of Character" when a confirmed pivot is broken, signaling a potential shift in market direction.
* **Order Blocks (OB):** Automatically draws the corresponding Order Block (the last candle before the break) after a CHOCH occurs. These zones are potential high-probability areas of interest for future entries.
* **Highly Customizable:** The indicator comes with a clean settings panel that allows you to:
* Toggle the visibility of Pivots, CHOCH labels, and Order Blocks.
* Fully customize the colors for bullish and bearish Order Blocks.
* Adjust the sensitivity of pivot detection.
---
### **How to Use / Strategy Suggestion**
This indicator is a purely analytical tool and does not provide direct buy/sell signals. A common way to use it based on SMC/ICT principles is as follows:
1. **Identify Trend:** Use the series of pivots to determine the primary market trend (e.g., higher highs and higher lows indicate an uptrend).
2. **Wait for CHOCH:** Wait for a Change of Character *against* the primary trend. For example, in an uptrend, wait for a recent Pivot Low to be broken. The indicator will mark this with a **CHOCH ▼** label.
3. **Identify the Zone:** The indicator will then draw the corresponding Order Block (in this case, the last up-candle before the price dropped). This is now a high-probability **supply zone**.
4. **Anticipate Entry:** Wait for the price to return (mitigate) to this Order Block zone in the future.
5. **Confirm Entry:** Look for your own entry confirmation (e.g., a reversal pattern on a lower timeframe) within or near this zone to execute a trade.
6. **Manage Risk:** A logical Stop Loss would typically be placed just above the high of the supply zone (or below the low of a demand zone).

This tool is intended to assist with your market analysis and should be used in conjunction with your own trading plan and risk management. Hope it helps you in your trading journey!
Smart Money Setup 01 [TradingFinder]Double Order Blocks Proof🔵 Introduction
The Price Action, styled as the "Smart Money Concept" or "SMC," was introduced by Mr. David J. Crouch in 2000 and is one of the most modern technical styles in the financial world. In financial markets, Smart Money refers to capital controlled by major market players (central banks, funds, etc.), and these traders can accurately predict market trends and achieve the highest profits.
In the "Smart Money" style, various types of "order blocks" can be traded. This indicator uses a type of "order block" originating from "BoS" (Breakout of Structure). The most important feature of this indicator is the confirmation of two order blocks.
🟣 Important
For example, after the first "BoS" and the formation of the first Order Block, if a second "BoS" occurs before touching the price of the first Order Block and the formation of the second Order Block, a trading setup with 2 order blocks is formed, which confirms the dominant market trend.
For a better understanding of this subject, see the explanations in the following two images.

Bearish Setup Details :
🔵 How to Use
After adding the indicator to the chart, you should wait for the formation of the trading setup. You can observe different trading positions by changing the "Time Frame" and "Pivot Period." Generally, the higher the "Time Frame" and "Pivot Period," the more valid the formed setup is.

Internal Market Structure + Order BlocksInternal Market Structure + Order Blocks
This indicator combines internal market structure shifts with order block detection to help traders identify key zones of institutional interest and potential trend reversals. It highlights bullish and bearish engulfing conditions that mark the formation of valid order blocks, and it plots internal structure shifts—early signals that may precede a larger move.
Key Features:
-Bullish & Bearish Order Blocks: Highlighted with shaded boxes (green for bullish, red for bearish) following engulfing price action.
-Internal Structure Shifts: Small black triangles show early signs of a potential reversal, offering a unique perspective beyond standard structure analysis.
-Engulfing Breakouts: Marks when price breaks previous opposing structure, confirming new directional intent.
-Alerts Included: Get notified on key structure breaks and internal shifts to stay ahead of potential setups.
This tool is designed to support price action trading by visually mapping key structural changes and zones of interest directly on your chart. It is not intended to function as a standalone trading strategy , but rather as a supplementary tool to inform your own analysis and discretion.
Note: The arrows, polylines, and colored trendlines shown in the chart example are not generated by the indicator. They have been added manually for illustration purposes to demonstrate how the indicator can be used to trace market structure. Likewise, the order blocks in the example are manually drawn and may differ slightly from the indicator's automatic calculations, serving only to enhance visual clarity.
ICT Single Candle Order Block (SCOB) [UAlgo]The "ICT Single Candle Order Block (SCOB) " designed for traders who utilize the concept of Order Blocks in their trading strategy. Order Blocks are significant price levels where institutions or smart money have placed their trades, leading to potential future price reactions when these levels are revisited. This indicator focuses on identifying and highlighting Single Candle Order Blocks (SCOBs), allowing traders to visually analyze key price levels on their charts.
🔶 What is Single Candle Order Block (SCOB) ?
A Single Candle Order Block (SCOB) is a specific type of Order Block that is identified based on a single candlestick pattern. These patterns indicate potential areas where significant buying or selling interest has occurred, often leading to a notable price reaction when revisited. In the context of this indicator, a bullish SCOB is identified when a specific bullish candlestick pattern is met, and a bearish SCOB is identified based on a bearish candlestick pattern.
Bullish SCOB: Detected when the open price of two bars ago is higher than its close, the close price of the previous bar is higher than its open, the current close price is higher than the open, the low of the previous bar is lower than the low of two bars ago, and the current close is higher than the high of the previous bar.
Bearish SCOB: Detected when the open price of two bars ago is lower than its close, the close price of the previous bar is lower than its open, the current close price is lower than the open, the high of the previous bar is higher than the high of two bars ago, and the current close is lower than the low of the previous bar.
🔶 Key Features
Show Single Candle Order Block (SCOB): Toggle the visibility of the Single Candle Order Blocks on the chart.
Mitigation Method: Choose between "Close" and "Wick" methods for determining whether a SCOB has been mitigated (price has interacted with the block).
Show Last X SCOBs: Control the number of most recent SCOBs displayed on the chart, allowing you to focus on the most relevant price levels.
Volatility Filter: Enable or disable the volatility filter, which uses the Average True Range (ATR) to filter out less significant SCOBs. When enabled, only SCOBs with an ATR above the mean value of the ATR are displayed.
Customizable Colors: Configure the colors for bullish and bearish SCOBs to enhance visual clarity. The indicator uses cooler RGB values to ensure the blocks are distinct and easily noticeable.
🔶 Disclaimer
The "ICT Single Candle Order Block (SCOB) " indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only. Trading involves significant risk and may not be suitable for all investors.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Users should use this indicator in conjunction with their own research and trading strategy.
MTF Order Block FinderAn Order Block is a special type of pivot point that satisfies the following requirement:
A Bull/Bear candle followed by X consecutive candles in the opposite direction.
Order Blocks are interesting areas that are frequently revisited and can be treated as Support/Resistance levels.
Often, you can see explosive price rejection of these areas via long wicks, high volume, and rapid price change.
Features
Choose from two themes:
- LIGHT: a classic Red and Green representing Bearish and Bullish OBs, respectively
- DARK: a clean Blue and White scheme
Choose from two drawing styles:
- LINE: three lines representing the High, Low, and Mid price levels of the OB candle
- BOX: a bounded area similar to the "rectangle" tool
Chose a custom timeframe:
- From 1 Minute (useful for Seconds interval) up to 1 Month
Note, this setting is experimental and choosing a timeframe that is extraordinarily large may not function properly.
Filter order blocks with two settings:
- Number of consecutive bars
- Minimum % change of the potential OB bar (default 0.25%)
Keep your charts clean and show only relevant OBs
- Maximum number of Bullish zones to show
- Maximum number of Bearish zones to show
FAQ
Q: How do I trade with this indicator?
A:Personally, I use a fast entry indicator to confirm Long/Short position when price is rejected. I set my SL and TP based on the current Zone and the next one, if available.
Q: Does this repaint?
A:Yes and this is okay! The "Bear" and "Bull" signals are not meant for taking positions, only showing which candle reveals the Order Block. The Zone is much more useful to us and can result in several successful trades in the near future when treated as a support/resistance area.
Q What's the winrate?
A:Hard to say - this isn't a standalone strategy and I haven't been able to properly backtest it quite yet.

SMC Order Block & Liquidity EntryThe SMC Order Block and Liquidity Trap Entry Strategy script uses Smart Money Concepts (SMC), which analyze institutional actions in the market, to assist traders in identifying high-probability trades. In order to help traders match their entry with institutional activity, this script highlights important regions of interest, including order blocks, liquidity zones, and indications for Break of Structure (BOS) or Change of Character (CHoCH).
The fundamental ideas of this approach, which focuses on regions where institutions frequently make sizable orders or sweep liquidity, are based on SMC principles. Order blocks, which are frequently important support or resistance zones when institutions are involved, are the final bullish or bearish candle before a significant price move in the other direction. There are liquidity zones that show where retail stop-loss orders build up (above recent highs or below recent lows), such as Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) and Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL). Before changing the direction of the price, institutions could target these zones, giving traders possible chances.
The script depicts liquidity levels above or below recent highs and lows, automatically finds order blocks within a specified lookback time, and looks for BOS (a continuation signal) or CHoCH (a reversal signal). When liquidity retests inside an order block coincide with BOS or CHoCH circumstances, entry signals are produced. While short entries are triggered when the price breaks below the order block and SSL, long entry alerts are triggered when the price breaks above the order block and BSL.
Enhanced BTC Order Block IndicatorThe script you provided is an "Enhanced BTC Order Block Indicator" written in Pine Script v5 for TradingView. It is designed to identify and visually mark Order Blocks (OBs) on a Bitcoin (BTC) price chart, specifically tailored for a high-frequency scalping strategy on the 5-minute (M5) timeframe. Order Blocks are key price zones where institutional traders are likely to have placed significant buy or sell orders, making them high-probability areas for reversals or continuations. The script incorporates customizable filters, visual indicators, and alert functionality to assist traders in executing the strategy outlined earlier.
Key Features and Functionality
Purpose:
The indicator detects bullish Order Blocks (buy zones) and bearish Order Blocks (sell zones) based on a predefined percentage price movement (default 0.5–1%) and volume confirmation.
It marks these zones on the chart with colored boxes and provides alerts when an OB is detected.
User-Configurable Inputs:
Price Move Range: minMovePercent (default 0.5%) and maxMovePercent (default 1.0%) define the acceptable price movement range for identifying OBs.
Volume Threshold: volumeThreshold (default 1.5x average volume) ensures OB detection is backed by significant trading activity.
Lookback Period: lookback (default 10 candles) determines how many previous candles are analyzed to find the last candle before a strong move.
Wick/Body Option: useWick (default false) allows users to choose whether the OB zone is based on the candle’s wick or body.
Colors: bullishOBColor (default green) and bearishOBColor (default red) set the visual appearance of OB boxes.
Box Extension: boxExtension (default 100 bars) controls how far the OB box extends to the right on the chart.
RSI Filter: useRSI (default true) enables an RSI filter, with rsiLength (default 14), rsiBullishThreshold (default 50), and rsiBearishThreshold (default 50) for trend confirmation.
M15 Support/Resistance: useSR (default true) and srLookback (default 20) integrate M15 timeframe swing highs and lows for additional OB validation.
Core Logic:
Bullish OB Detection: Identifies a strong upward move (0.5–1%) with volume above the threshold. It then looks back to the last bearish candle before the move to define the OB zone. RSI > 50 and proximity to M15 support/resistance (optional) enhance confirmation.
Bearish OB Detection: Identifies a strong downward move (0.5–1%) with volume confirmation, tracing back to the last bullish candle. RSI < 50 and M15 resistance proximity (optional) add validation.
The OB zone is drawn as a rectangle from the high to low of the identified candle, extended rightward.
Visual Output:
Boxes: Uses box.new to draw OB zones, with left set to the previous bar (bar_index ), right extended by boxExtension, top and bottom defined by the OB’s high and low prices. Each box includes a text label ("Bullish OB" or "Bearish OB") and is semi-transparent.
Colors distinguish between bullish (green) and bearish (red) OBs.
Alerts:
Global alertcondition definitions trigger notifications for "Bullish OB Detected" and "Bearish OB Detected" when the respective conditions are met, displaying the current close price in the message.
Helper Functions:
f_priceChangePercent: Calculates the percentage price change between open and close prices.
isNearSR: Checks if the price is within 0.2% of M15 swing highs or lows for support/resistance confluence.
How It Works
The script runs on each candle, evaluating the current price action against the user-defined criteria.
When a bullish or bearish move is detected (meeting the percentage, volume, RSI, and S/R conditions), it identifies the preceding candle to define the OB zone.
The OB is then visualized on the chart, and an alert is triggered if configured in TradingView.
Use Case
This indicator is tailored for your BTC scalping strategy, where trades last 1–15 minutes targeting 0.3–0.5% gains. It helps traders spot institutional order zones on the M5 chart, confirmed by secondary M1 analysis, and integrates with your use of EMAs, RSI, and volume. The customizable settings allow adaptation to varying market conditions or personal preferences.
Limitations
The M15 S/R detection is simplified (using swing highs/lows), which may not always align perfectly with manual support/resistance levels.
Alerts depend on TradingView’s alert system and require manual setup.
Performance may vary with high volatility or low-volume periods, necessitating parameter adjustments.

ICT Concepts: MML, Order Blocks, FVG, OTECore ICT Trading Concepts
These strategies are designed to identify high-probability trading opportunities by analyzing institutional order flow and market psychology.
1. Market Maker Liquidity (MML) / Liquidity Pools
Idea: Institutional traders ("market makers") place orders around key price levels where retail traders’ stop losses cluster (e.g., above swing highs or below swing lows).
Application: Look for "liquidity grabs" where price briefly spikes to these levels before reversing.
Example: If price breaks a recent high but reverses sharply, it may indicate a liquidity grab to trigger retail stops before a trend reversal.
2. Order Blocks (OB)
Idea: Institutional orders are often concentrated in specific price zones ("order blocks") where large buy/sell decisions occurred.
Application: Identify bullish order blocks (strong buying zones) or bearish order blocks (strong selling zones) on higher timeframes (e.g., 1H/4H charts).
Example: A bullish order block forms after a strong rally; price often retests this zone later as support.
3. Fair Value Gap (FVG)
Idea: A price imbalance occurs when candles gap without overlapping, creating an area of "unfair" price that the market often revisits.
Application: Trade the retracement to fill the FVG. A bullish FVG acts as support, and a bearish FVG acts as resistance.
Example: Three consecutive candles create a gap; price later returns to fill this gap, offering a entry point.
4. Time-Based Analysis (NY Session, London Kill Zones)
Idea: Institutional activity peaks during specific times (e.g., 7 AM – 11 AM New York time).
Application: Focus on trades during high-liquidity periods when banks and hedge funds are active.
Example: The "London Kill Zone" (2 AM – 5 AM EST) often sees volatility due to European market openings.
5. Optimal Trade Entry (OTE)
Idea: A retracement level (similar to Fibonacci retracement) where institutions re-enter trends after a pullback.
Application: Look for 62–79% retracements in a trend to align with institutional accumulation/distribution zones.
Example: In an uptrend, price retraces 70% before resuming upward—enter long here.
6. Stop Hunts
Idea: Institutions manipulate price to trigger retail stop losses before reversing direction.
Application: Avoid placing stops at obvious levels (e.g., above/below recent swings). Instead, use wider stops or wait for confirmation.
SMC Liquidity & Order Blocks🔹 1. Moving Averages for Trend Confirmation
Uses Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) to determine trend direction.
9-period EMA (blue) and 15-period EMA (red) are plotted.
🔹 2. Liquidity Zones (Swing Highs & Lows)
Identifies liquidity zones where price is likely to react.
Buy-Side Liquidity: Highest high over 20 periods (Green line).
Sell-Side Liquidity: Lowest low over 20 periods (Red line).
🔹 3. Order Block Detection
Detects bullish and bearish order blocks (key price zones of institutional activity).
Bullish Order Block (OB): Formed when the highest close over 5 bars exceeds the highest high.
Bearish Order Block (OB): Formed when the lowest close over 5 bars is lower than the lowest low.
Plotted using green (up-triangle) for bullish OB and red (down-triangle) for bearish OB.
🔹 4. Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Detects price inefficiencies (gaps between candles).
FVG Up: When a candle's high is lower than a candle two bars ahead.
FVG Down: When a candle's low is higher than a candle two bars ahead.
Plotted using blue circles (FVG Up) and orange circles (FVG Down).

BB Order BlocksUsing the Bollinger Band to mark areas of Support and Resistance
The scrip finds the highest and lowest levels of the bands to mark up futures areas of interest.
If the High/Lows are being broken on the Bollinger band, or if the look back range has expired without finding new levels, the script will stop plotting them until new levels are found
I have found many combinations which work well
Changing the band length to to levels 20,50,100 or 200 seem to give interesting results
Aswell as this changing the standard deviation to 3 instead of 2 marks up key levels.
The look back range seems to show better levels on 50,100 and 200
Let me know any changes or updates you think you could make an impact , this was just a quick basic script I wanted to share.

CANX Supply and Demand - Order Block - Candle Identification
Description
Designed as a visual aid, to highlight the last up or down candle before a fractal break. We can assume these candles where the point of origin that generated enough strength to break recent structure. By using them as reference points, traders are expected to follow their own set of rules and mark higher probability supply and demand zones in the area.
How to use:
Expect price to retest in these areas, and if they fail, a potential retest in the opposite direction . The greater the number of times a zone is tested, the more likely it is to break. A fresh zone that has not yet been tested will have a higher probability of a bounce.
Fractal period and candle break type can be customized in the settings. This works on all time frames.
**The indicator is set to my optimal settings for the 5 minute or 15 minute time frame** Please mess around to find your comfort zone and back test the results.
The lower the period number the more noise this creates on the market. The higher the number the less noise and more potential for a stronger zone.
Keep it simple

Pivot order block boxes [LM]Hello traders,
let me intoduce you pivot order block boxes. The idea is find the pivot point that within the right side count of candles achieved some percentage change and in that way filter out important pivots. Once the pivot point is found and matches the volatility condition then from the left side of pivot first candle that is up candle for pivot high and down candle for pivot low, could be also the pivot candle itself is selected and rendered high and low of that candle. The premise behind is that those are the levels profesional traders are buying.
It has two settings that you can change at your will, it also enables hide/show particular pivot setting
Hope you will enjoy as I enjoyed to write it.
