Smart Envelope - Running Away From The TrendIntroduction
Envelopes indicators consist in displaying one upper and one lower extremity on the price chart. They are most of the time built by adding/subtracting a volatility estimator (rolling stdev, atr, range...etc) to a central tendency estimator (SMA, EMA, LSMA...etc) . Their interpretation is often subject to debate amongst technical analyst, some will use a support and resistance methodology, where price will start a downtrend once it cross the upper extremity, and a down trend once it cross the lower one. Others will prefer a breakout methodology, where price will reach higher highs once it cross the upper extremity, and lower lows when it cross the lower one. Because of price non stationarity its hard to select the best methodology, the support and resistance one will mostly work on ranging markets, while the breakout methodology mostly work on trending ones.
Therefore new methods where proposed, instead of using moving averages with a high lag, faster filters where used, such as the least squares moving average or zero lag exponential moving average, other band indicators where also created using adaptive filters, but improvements remain relatively low. The most difficult task would be to make extremities with the ability to return accurate support and resistances levels, and today i want to provide a new way to construct such extremities by using the recursive bands framework that allow extremely creative and efficient indicators.
The Main Idea
With classical bands indicators, the upper and lower extremity will still be correlated with the main trend, the problem behind such method is that we can't use a support and resistance methodology with trending markets, the fact that reversals exist tells us that our extremities will always be crossed by the main trend, here is an example :
Here the support is correlated with the main trend, in order for it to be accurate we must assume the trend will go on for ever, and will only detect higher lows, this is what we expect with the orange line, but we can see that a severe down trend totally destroy our plan.
In short we need to give some headroom to our extremities, and thus one extremity can't be correlated with the main trend.
The proposed Indicator
We want to minimize the correlation between the extremities, so if the upper extremity rise, the lower one must fall. This allow to give some headroom and allow the user to anticipate larger movements, this is how bands seeking to give support and resistances points should work.
The indicator has a length setting that control the wideness of the extremities, unlike other indicators low values such as 14 can still create really wide bands, take that into account.
length = 5. Lower length values allow for more motion from the extremities, but does not necessarily involve detecting shorter terms support and resistances levels. The factor setting is not that important, but it allow to return extremities with more motion when high, and really wide bands when below 1 and greater than 0.
Central Tendency Estimator
Something fun with the recursive band framework is that the bands are no longer based on the central tendency estimator but its the central tendency estimator who is based on the bands. The central tendency estimator can also provide support and resistances points with the price, like classical moving averages, altho its lack of motion is this time a downside.
Conclusion
Altho the extremities are more accurate than other band indicators, the problem remain the same, larger trend will always break the extremities and continue creating higher/lower highs/lows, at this point our stop loss would certainly be triggered. This is a huge downsides of contrarian strategy, we sure might anticipate reversals earlier, but we are exposed to larger price movements, therefore the risk is extreme.
But the proposed methodology might still prove useful to develop more robust support and resistances levels based on envelopes indicators.

Lag-Less Rainbow RibbonThis is my polychromatic "Lag-Less Rainbow Ribbon" indicator using Pine Script version 4.0. I'm sure you may noticed by now, this indicator is truly an astounding rainbow to witness upon encountering it initially. It's jaw dropping beauty is the first of it's kind on TV, but will continue to shine here, or on your chart, so long as TV exists. This one isn't disappearing into non-existence any time soon.
It's extremely easy to use having only one input() to control the entire ribbon and it's lag. I couldn't make it any simpler to use, and that's one unique yet powerful feature of this elegant indicator. Another unique characteristic of deploying this in rainbow fashion is it provides very clear indications of when and where a significant reversal has occurred. Afterwards, trend direction following a large reversal is quickly established.
This script uses all 64 of the available plottable series TV will allow currently, so adding features to it may be impossible in the future. Yet the cloud handles it with ease and speed I have never encountered in a ribbon indicator before. The Pine Script in this indicator is highly optimized, coming in at a light weight 120+ lines of code, probably contributing to it's efficiency.
Lastly, with this flagship indicator, I included a multi-color "neon source" line to view close, hl2, etc... Any one of the two indicators may actually be enabled/disabled independently.
In the demonstration chart, you will witness the other color schemes available. I provided multiple color schemes for those of you who may have color blindness vision impairments. You may contact me in private, if these color schemes are not suitable for your diagnosed visual impairment, and you wish to contribute to seeing the color schemes improved along with other future indicators I shall release.
I.P.O.C.S.: "Initial Public Offering Clean Start" proprietary technology. Firstly, many of my other indicators already possess this capability. It allows suitable plotting from day one, minute one of IPO, remedying visually delayed signal analysis. It's basically accurate plotting from the very first bar (bar_index==0) on Tradingview. If you don't know what this is, most people don't, go back to the VERY beginning of any stock on the "All" chart and compare it to other similar indicators. What's so special about this? It is extremely difficult to get a healthy plot from bar_index==0 on any platform. However, I have become exceedingly talented performing this feat in most cases, but not all depending on the algorithm. This indicator is a successful accomplishment implementing IPOCS. It's inherent value is predominantly for IPO traders who in the past have had to wait 20, 50, and 150 bars before they obtain a precise indicator measurement for the simplest of algorithms in order to make a properly informed decision to potentially invest in an asset. How is this achieved? It's a highly protected secret of mine... but I will say I rarely use Pine built-in functions at all. When I do, I use them scarcely due to currently existing Pine language limitations.
Features List Includes:
I.P.O.C.S.(Initial Public Offering Clean Start) Technology
Enable/disable dark background for enhanced visibility
One "Lag Factor" adjustment to adjust them all
Color schemes
"Transparency" control
Independent "Source" options

Extreme Reversal Setup Price ActionThe extreme reversal setup is a fabulous signal that I've back tested over countless years of data on many
instruments, different timeframes, and using various trade management methodologies. The results have always been highly favorable. Needless to say, this setup remains a key staple of my trading arsenal. The extreme reversal setup is a classic "rubber band" trade. When a rubber band is stretched to its limits and then released, it snaps back in the direction from whence it came. We are looking to trade the snapback reversal with this setup.
The basic setup occurs when an extremely large candle forms that is about twice the size of the average
candlestick. While this candle may indicate that a continuation will be seen, the second bar of the pattern does not confirm a continuation and, instead, is an opposing candle that signals an upcoming reversal. When this occurs, you have a fantastic opportunity to buy below value, or sell at a premium.
The extreme reversal setup looks to capitalize over-extended situations in the market, as responsive buyers and sellers will enter the market to push price back in the opposite direction.

2-1-2 ReversalThis indicator identifies all 2-1-2 price action patterns on any chart or time frame — both reversals and continuations — based on Rob Smith’s The Strat trading system.
🟢 Bullish 2-1-2:
Detected when a directional candle (2D or 2U), followed by an inside bar (1), is followed by a break to the upside (2U).
🔴 Bearish 2-1-2:
Detected when a directional candle (2U or 2D), followed by an inside bar (1), is followed by a break to the downside (2D).
✅ Key Features:
Works on any time frame (1m to Monthly)
No filters — shows every valid 2-1-2 setup
Detects both reversal and continuation patterns
🔔 Built-in alert conditions for Bullish and Bearish setups
🔍 Great for strat traders who want to catch all opportunities, not just hand-picked ones
🧠 Use Case Tips:
Combine with higher time frame trend or broadening formations for confirmation
Works well with sectors (SPY, QQQ, XLE) and ETFs for strat alignment
Add volume, EMA, or other custom confluences for advanced filtering
Three-Bar Reversal/ContinuationThis indicator identifies a three-bar expansion pattern based on range and volume, designed to highlight moments when the market pushes strongly, pauses, and then resumes with confirmation.
Detection Logic
* Bar (two bars ago) must show sufficient strength, determined by the number of conditions met.
* Bar (one bar ago) must be neutral (strength = 0), marking a brief pause.
*Bar (current bar) must continue the expansion, with range and volume greater than the prior bar.
(Bar is used as a safeguard to prevent repeated detection during ongoing strong moves)
Strength Scoring
Each bar is scored 0–3 based on which of the following conditions it satisfies:
* Range exceeds a multiple of the recent average
* Volume exceeds a multiple of the recent average
* Range × volume exceeds a multiple of the recent average
The detection level input controls how many of these conditions must hold to classify a bar as “strong.” This allows tuning from permissive (1 condition) to strict (all 3 conditions).
Parameters & Utility
* length: Lookback period for moving averages of span, volume, and span×volume. Larger values smooth the averages, reducing false positives; smaller values increase sensitivity.
* coeff: Multiplicative threshold to define an unusually strong bar. Higher values reduce frequency but increase reliability.
* detectLevel: Minimum number of conditions that must be met for a bar to count as “strong.”
* showCont: Whether to allow continuation signals away from local extrema (if false, only reversals near highs/lows are considered).
* symbolUp / symbolDown: Customizable plotting symbols for bullish/bearish signals.
* showStrength: Plots tiny dots indicating the strength of each bar (1–3).
Rationale
This structure captures a recurring market motif: strong push → brief pause → renewed push, where the renewed activity is confirmed by both price expansion and volume. Using a combination of statistical thresholds (range, volume, range×volume) and price structure ensures that signals are both measurable and visually interpretable.
Usage Notes
* This setup allows traders to visually or systematically identify potential reversal or continuation points while controlling sensitivity to noise.
* Designed as a mechanical filter rather than a fully automated trading system. Signals highlight notable activity but do not dictate entry, exit, or risk management.
* Works best when combined with trend/context filters or higher-timeframe analysis.
* Adjust the parameters based on the volatility of the instrument and timeframe.
Price Action Key Level Break & Retest — Instant ReversalThis script identifies high-confidence support and resistance levels using pivot points and multi-step retest confirmation. It helps traders detect reliable breakout and reversal zones using price action.
How It Works:
1. The script scans for pivot highs and lows on the chart to identify potential key levels.
2. Each level is monitored for multiple retests (configurable by the user). The more a level is tested and holds, the stronger it becomes.
3. When price interacts with a key level:
o A Support signal occurs if the level acts as support after multiple retests.
o A Resistance signal occurs if the level acts as resistance after multiple retests.
o If a signal fails (price breaks the level), an opposite signal is automatically placed at the breach point.
4. Optional volume filter validates the strength of moves, reducing false signals.
5. Horizontal Line Visualization: Support and Resistance signals are represented by drawing manually horizontal lines, which remain on the chart regardless of scrolling, zooming, or candle compression and helps traders to identify the breakout of key levels
Example:
• Suppose a stock forms a pivot low at ₹1,000.
• Price retraces and touches ₹1,000 two to three times, holding each time — the level is confirmed as strong support.
• The script places a buy line at ₹1,000.
• If price breaks below ₹1,000 after holding it for multiple retests, the script automatically generates a Resistance Signal at the breach point, signaling a potential trend reversal.
• That Resistance Signal act as Resistance level throughout. if such Resistance level breaks out above, it act as Support level and vice versa
• This allows traders to react adaptively, entering trades based on confirmed support or resistance while managing risk.
Why It’s Useful:
• Focuses on multi-retest confirmation rather than single touch points, reducing false signals.
• To draw horizontal lines on key levels, providing clear visualization of key levels without clutter.
• Integrates adaptive breach signals, so traders can respond when levels fail.
• Suitable for swing, intraday, and trend-following strategies.
How to Use:
1. Apply the script to any timeframe.
2. Configure pivot detection length and maximum retests to match trading style.
3. Enable the optional volume filter for stronger signal validation.
4. Monitor the horizontal lines for Support/Resistance signals and opposite signals at breaches.
5. Combine with other technical analysis if desired.
Concepts Behind the Script:
• Pivot-based support and resistance
• Multi-retest validation for stronger levels
• Adaptive opposite signals for failed levels
• Volume-based confirmation for reliability
• Horizontal line visualization for easy tracking
Key Features:
Horizontal Lines visualization: Support and Resistance levels remain on the chart permanently, providing constant visual reference.
Multi-Timeframe Compatible: Can be applied on any timeframe; lines and breach logic adjust automatically.
Optional Noise Filters: Volume and retest filters improve signal reliability.
Why It’s Worth Paying:
• Uses multi-retest confirmation to reduce false signals compared to standard support/resistance scripts.
• Provides adaptive opposite signals for failed levels — giving traders an actionable edge.
• Visualizes key levels as fixed horizontal lines, helping traders track trends clearly.
• Works across multiple timeframes — suitable for intraday, swing, or trend-following strategies.

Expanded Reversal System (4 Pattern Types) Indicator + S/LOverview
This is a comprehensive and fully customizable indicator designed to provide clear, reliable, and non-repainting signals for manual traders. Built on a robust 3-bar confirmation logic, this tool aims to eliminate the common errors and visual bugs found in simpler indicators, giving you a professional-grade tool for identifying high-probability reversals.
The indicator not only provides entry signals but also plots the precise Stop Loss level for each setup, taking the guesswork out of your risk management.
How to Trade with This Indicator 🎯
This indicator provides all the necessary information to plan and execute a trade. Here is the step-by-step process:
Step 1: The Setup Circle
First, wait for a Setup Signal (a blue or red circle) to appear on a candle. This is your "heads-up" that a potential trade is forming. This candle is the "Setup Candle."
Step 2: The Trigger Arrow
Next, wait for a Blue BUY Arrow (▲) or a Red SELL Arrow (▼) to appear. This is your confirmation and your signal to prepare to enter.
Step 3: The Entry
You enter the trade at the open of the candle the arrow appears on. This is the "Entry Candle."
Step 4: The Stop Loss
The indicator automatically plots a horizontal orange line on your chart at the same time as the Entry Arrow. This line represents your exact Stop Loss level. It is placed at the low (for buys) or high (for sells) of the candle marked with the Setup Circle.
Step 5: The Take Profit (Risk/Reward)
The Take Profit level must be calculated based on the strategy's Risk/Reward (R:R) ratio.
Step 6: Early invalidation would be a signal in the opposite direction confirmed by an arrow to enter the trade, in that case close the trade and enter in the opposite direction, that's how the strategy has been tested with amazing results.
But if you wish, you could use other confluence for better confirmation, such as volume or bollinger bands.
Exchange assets do not work , you will ned to use the all time index for both the signal indicator and the strategy tester.
Use the trade tool in TV for longs or shorts
Then, apply the appropriate ratio:
Long (Buy) Take Profit (1:6 R:R):
Short (Sell) Take Profit (1:4 R:R):
Fully Customizable Settings 🔧

TFPS - TradFi Pressure ScoreThe Data-Driven Answer to a New Market Reality.
This indicator quantifies the pressure exerted by Wall Street on the crypto market across four critical dimensions: Risk Appetite, Fear, Liquidity Flows, and the Opportunity Cost of Capital. Our research has found that the correlation between this 4-dimensional pressure vector and crypto price action reaches peak values of 0.87. This is your decisive macro edge, delivered in real-time.
The Irreversible Transformation
A fundamental analysis of the last five years of market data proves an irreversible transformation: The crypto market has matured into a high-beta risk asset, its fate now inextricably linked to Traditional Finance (TradFi).
The empirical data is clear:
Bitcoin increasingly behaves like a leveraged version of the S&P 500.
The correlation to major stock indices is statistically significant and persistent.
The "digital gold" narrative is refuted by the data; the correlation to gold is virtually non-existent.
This means standard technical indicators are no longer sufficient. Tools like RSI or MACD are blind to the powerful, external macro context that now dominates price action. They see the effect, but not the cause.
The Solution: A 4-Dimensional Macro-Lens
The TradFi Pressure Score (TFPS) is the answer. It is an institutional-grade dashboard that aggregates the four most dominant external forces into a single, actionable score:
S&P 500 (SPY): The Pulse of Risk Appetite. A rising S&P signals a "risk-on" environment, fueling capital flows into crypto.
VIX: The Market's Fear Gauge. A rising VIX signals a "risk-off" flight to safety, draining liquidity from crypto.
DXY (US-Dollar Index): The Anchor of Global Liquidity. A strong Dollar (rising DXY) tightens financial conditions, creating powerful headwinds for risk assets like Bitcoin.
US 10Y Yield: The Opportunity Cost of Capital. Rising yields make risk-free assets more attractive, pulling capital away from non-yielding assets like crypto.
What makes the TFPS truly unique?
1. Dynamic Weighting (The Secret Weapon):
Which macro factor matters most right now? Is it a surging Dollar or a collapsing stock market? The TFPS answers this automatically. It continuously analyzes the correlation of all four components to your chosen asset (e.g., Bitcoin) and adjusts their influence in real-time. The dashboard shows you the exact live weights, ensuring you are always focused on the factor that is currently driving the market.
2. Adaptive Engine:
The forces driving a 15-minute chart are different from those driving a daily chart. The TFPS engine automatically recalibrates its internal lookback periods to your chosen timeframe. This ensures the score is always optimally relevant, whether you are a day trader or a swing trader.
3. Designed for Actionable Insights
The Pressure Line: The indicator's core output. Is its value > 0 (tailwind) or < 0 (headwind)? This provides an instant, unambiguous read on the macro environment for your trade.
The Z-Score (The Contrarian Signal): The background "Stress Cloud" and the discrete dots provide early warnings of extreme macro greed or fear. Readings above +2 or below -2 have historically pinpointed moments of market exhaustion that often precede major trend reversals.
Lead/Lag Status: Gain a critical edge by knowing who is in the driver's seat. The dashboard tells you if TradFi is leading the price action or if crypto is moving independently, allowing you to validate your trade thesis against the dominant market force.
This is a public indicator with protected source code
Access is now available for traders who understand the new market reality at the intersection of crypto and traditional finance.
You are among the first to leverage what is a new standard for macro analysis in crypto trading. Your feedback is highly valued as I continue to refine this tool.

True Breakout Pattern [TradingFinder] Breakout Signal Indicator🔵 Introduction
In many market conditions, what initially appears to be a decisive breakout often turns out to be nothing more than a false breakout or fake breakout. Price breaks through a key swing level or an important support and resistance zone, only to quickly return to its previous range.
These failed breakouts, which are often the result of liquidity traps or market manipulation, serve more as a warning sign of structural weakness than confirmation of a new trend.
This indicator is designed around the concept of the fake breakout.
The logic is simple but precise : when price breaks a swing level and returns to that level within a maximum of five candles, the move is considered a false breakout. At this point, a Fibonacci retracement is applied to the recent price swing to evaluate the pullback area.
If price, within ten candles after the return to the breakout level, enters the Fibonacci zone between 0.618 and 1.0, the setup becomes valid for a potential entry. This area is identified as a long entry zone, with the stop loss placed just beyond the 1.0 level and the take profit defined based on the desired risk-to-reward ratio.
By combining accurate detection of false breakouts, analysis of price reaction to swing levels, and alignment with Fibonacci retracement logic, this framework allows traders to identify opportunities often missed by others. In a market where failed breakouts are a common and recurring phenomenon, this indicator aims to transform these traps into measurable trading opportunities.
Long Setup :
Short Setup :
🔵 How to Use
This indicator operates based on the recognition of false breakouts from structural levels in the market, specifically swing levels, and combines that with Fibonacci retracement analysis.
In this strategy, trades are only considered when price returns to the broken level within a defined time window and reacts appropriately inside a predefined Fibonacci range. Depending on the direction of the initial breakout, the system outlines two scenarios for long and short setups.
🟣 Long Setup
In the long setup, price initially breaks below a support level or swing low. If the price returns to the broken level within a maximum of five candles, the move is identified as a fake breakout.
At this stage, a Fibonacci retracement is drawn from the recent high to the low. If price, within ten candles of returning to the level, moves into the 0.618 to 1.0 Fibonacci zone, the conditions for a long entry are met.
The stop loss is placed slightly below the 1.0 level, while the take profit is set based on the trader’s preferred risk-reward ratio. This setup aims to capture deeply discounted entries at low risk, aligned with smart money reversals.
🟣 Short Setup
In the short setup, the price breaks above a resistance level or swing high. If the price returns to that level within five candles, the move is again treated as a false breakout. Fibonacci is then drawn from the recent low to the high to observe the retracement area.
Should price enter the 0.618 to 1.0 Fibonacci range within ten candles of returning, a short entry is considered valid. In this case, the stop loss is placed just above the 1.0 level, and the take profit is adjusted based on the intended risk-reward target. This method allows traders to identify high-probability short setups by focusing on failed breakouts and deep pullbacks.
🔵 Settings
🟣 Logical settings
Swing period : You can set the swing detection period.
Valid After Trigger Bars : Limits how many candles after a fake breakout the entry zone remains valid.
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.
🟣 Display settings
Displaying or not displaying swings and setting the color of labels and lines.
🟣 Alert Settings
Alert False Breakout : Enables alerts for Breakout.
Message Frequency : Determines the frequency of alerts. Options include 'All' (every function call), 'Once Per Bar' (first call within the bar), and 'Once Per Bar Close' (final script execution of the real-time bar). Default is 'Once per Bar'.
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : Configures the time zone for alert messages. Default is 'UTC'.
🔵 Conclusion
A sound understanding of the false breakout phenomenon and its relationship to structural price behavior is essential for technical traders aiming to improve precision and consistency. Many poor trading decisions stem from misinterpreting failed breakouts and entering too early into weak signals.
A structured approach, grounded in the analysis of swing levels and validated through specific price action and timing rules, can turn these misleading moves into valuable trade opportunities.
This indicator, by combining fake breakout detection with time filters and Fibonacci-based retracement zones, helps traders only engage with the market when multiple confirming factors are in alignment. The result is a strategy that emphasizes probability, risk control, and clarity in decision-making, offering a solid edge in navigating today’s volatile markets.
Momentum Trail Oscillator [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This script builds a Momentum Trail Oscillator designed to measure directional momentum strength and dynamically track shifts in trend bias using a combination of smoothed price change calculations and adaptive trailing bands. The oscillator aims to help traders visualize when momentum is expanding or contracting and to identify transitions between bullish and bearish conditions.
🟠 CONCEPTS
The core idea combines two methods. First, the script calculates a normalized momentum measure by smoothing price changes relative to their absolute values, which creates a bounded oscillator that highlights whether moves are directional or choppy. Second, it uses a trailing band mechanism inspired by volatility stops, where bands adapt to the oscillator’s volatility, adjusting the thresholds that define a shift in directional bias. This dual approach seeks to address both the magnitude and persistence of momentum, reducing false signals in ranging markets.
🟠 FEATURES
The momentum calculation applies Hull Moving Averages and double EMA smoothing to price changes, producing a smooth, responsive oscillator.
The trailing bands are derived by offsetting a weighted moving average of the oscillator by a multiple of recent momentum volatility. A directional state variable tracks whether the oscillator is above or below the bands, updating when the momentum crosses these dynamic thresholds.
Overbought and oversold zones are visually marked between fixed levels (+30/+40 and -30/-40), with color fills to highlight when momentum is in extreme areas. The script plots signals on both the oscillator pane and optionally overlays markers on the main price chart for clarity.
🟠 USAGE
To use the indicator, apply it to any symbol and timeframe. The “Oscillator Length” controls how sensitive the momentum line is to recent price changes—lower values react faster, higher values smooth out noise. The “Trail Multiplier” sets how far the adaptive bands sit from the oscillator mid-line, which affects how often trend state changes occur. When the momentum line rises into the upper filled area and then crosses back below +40, it signals potential overbought exhaustion. The opposite applies for the oversold zone below -40. The plotted trailing bands switch visibility depending on the current directional state: when momentum is trending up, the lower band acts as the active trailing stop, and when trending down, the upper band becomes active. Trend changes are marked with circular symbols when the direction variable flips, and optional overlay arrows appear on the price chart to highlight overbought or oversold reversals. Traders can combine these signals with their own price action or volume analysis to confirm entries or exits.

Smarter Money Concepts - OBs [PhenLabs]📊 Smarter Money Concepts - OBs
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
Smarter Money Concepts - OBs (Order Blocks) is an advanced technical analysis tool designed to identify and visualize institutional order zones on your charts. Order blocks represent significant areas of liquidity where smart money has entered positions before major moves. By tracking these zones, traders can anticipate potential reversals, continuations, and key reaction points in price action.
This indicator incorporates volume filtering technology to identify only the most significant order blocks, eliminating low-quality signals and focusing on areas where institutional participation is likely present. The combination of price structure analysis and volume confirmation provides traders with high-probability zones that may attract future price action for tests, rejections, or breakouts.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Volume-Filtered Block Detection : Identifies only order blocks formed with significant volume, focusing on areas with institutional participation
Advanced Break of Structure Logic : Uses sophisticated price action analysis to detect legitimate market structure breaks preceding order blocks
Dynamic Block Management : Intelligently tracks, extends, and removes order blocks based on price interaction and time-based expiration
Structure Recognition System : Employs technical analysis algorithms to find significant swing points for accurate order block identification
Dual Directional Tracking : Simultaneously monitors both bullish and bearish order blocks for comprehensive market structure analysis
🔧 Core Components

Volume Filter
Volume Filter Enabled : Default: Enabled. When activated, only shows order blocks formed with significant volume relative to recent average.
Volume SMA Period : Default: 15, Range: 1-50. Number of periods used to calculate the average volume baseline.
Min. Volume Ratio : Default: 1.5, Range: 0.5-10.0. Minimum volume ratio compared to average required to display an order block; higher values filter out more blocks.
✅ Best Use Cases
Identifying high-probability support and resistance zones for trade entries and exits
Finding optimal stop-loss placement behind significant order blocks
Detecting potential reversal areas where price may react after extended moves
Confirming breakout trades when price clears major order blocks
Building a comprehensive market structure map for medium to long-term trading decisions
Pinpointing areas where smart money may have positioned before major market moves
⚠️ Limitations
Most effective on higher timeframes (1H and above) where institutional activity is more clearly defined
Can generate multiple signals in choppy market conditions, requiring additional filtering
Volume filtering relies on accurate volume data, which may be less reliable for some securities
Recent market structure changes may invalidate older order blocks not yet automatically removed
Block identification is based on historical price action and may not predict future behavior with certainty
💡 What Makes This Unique
Volume Intelligence : Unlike basic order block indicators, this script incorporates volume analysis to identify only the most significant institutional zones, focusing on quality over quantity.
Structural Precision : Uses sophisticated break of structure algorithms to identify true market turning points, going beyond simple price pattern recognition.
Dynamic Block Management : Implements automatic block tracking, extension, and cleanup to maintain a clean and relevant chart display without manual intervention.
Institutional Focus : Designed specifically to highlight areas where smart money has likely positioned, helping retail traders align with institutional perspectives rather than retail noise.
🔬 How It Works
1. Structure Identification Process :
The indicator continuously scans price action to identify significant swing points and structure levels within the specified range, establishing a foundation for order block recognition.
2. Break Detection :
When price breaks an established structure level (crossing below a significant low for bearish breaks or above a significant high for bullish breaks), the indicator marks this as a potential zone for order block formation.
3. Volume Qualification :
For each potential order block, the algorithm calculates the relative volume compared to the configured period average. Only blocks formed with volume exceeding the minimum ratio threshold are displayed.
4. Block Creation and Management :
Valid order blocks are created, tracked, and managed as price continues to develop. Blocks extend to the right of the chart until they are either mitigated by price action or expire after the designated timeframe.
5. Continuous Monitoring :
The indicator constantly evaluates price interaction with existing blocks, determining when blocks have been tested, mitigated, or invalidated, and updates the visual representation accordingly.
💡 Note:
Order Blocks represent areas where institutional traders have likely established positions and may defend these zones during future price visits. For optimal results, use this indicator in conjunction with other confluent factors such as key support/resistance levels, trendlines, or additional confirmation indicators. The most reliable signals typically occur on higher timeframes where institutional activity is most prominent. Start with the default settings and adjust parameters gradually to match your specific trading instrument and style.
