[TehThomas] - Market Structure Shift (MSS)
- Market Structure Shift (MSS) Script Overview
This TradingView script is designed to help traders identify Market Structure Shifts (MSS) and Breaks of Structure (BOS), which are key concepts in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Smart Money Concepts (SMC) trading. By detecting significant shifts in price action, the script provides visual cues and alerts to help traders spot potential trend changes and continuation patterns.
How the Script Works
1. Identifying Swing Highs & Lows
The script detects swing highs and swing lows based on a pivot strength setting (default: 3).
A swing high forms when a candle’s high is higher than the highs of a set number of candles on both sides.
A swing low forms when a candle’s low is lower than the lows of the surrounding candles.
2. Market Structure Shift (MSS) Detection
A bullish MSS occurs when price closes above the most recent swing high after previously being in a bearish trend.
A bearish MSS occurs when price closes below the most recent swing low after being in a bullish trend.
This signals a potential trend reversal and is often a key area for liquidity grabs and smart money entry points.
3. Break of Structure (BOS) Detection (Optional - Can be enabled/disabled in settings)
A BOS is detected when price continues in the direction of the trend, confirming a structural break rather than a shift.
Bullish BOS: Price breaks a swing high but does not reverse (confirms trend continuation).
Bearish BOS: Price breaks a swing low but continues downward.
BOS levels help traders confirm trend strength and potential trade continuation setups.
4. Drawing Structure Lines & Labels
The script plots horizontal lines at the detected MSS and BOS levels.
Labels such as "MSS" or "BOS" appear at the breakout points.
Traders can customize the line style, color, and text size for better visibility.
5. Alert System for MSS & BOS
The script includes alert conditions that notify traders when an MSS or BOS occurs.
Alerts can be set for:
Any MSS / Any BOS
Bullish MSS / Bullish BOS
Bearish MSS / Bearish BOS
Settings You Can Change
The script allows for full customization through the following input parameters:
Pivot Strength (pivot_strength)
Default: 4
Adjusts how many candles must be considered to form a valid swing high or low.
Higher values result in stronger structure points, while lower values detect short-term movements.
Color Settings
Highs Color (highs) → Default: Blue (for bullish structure)
Lows Color (lows) → Default: Red (for bearish structure)
Toggle Display Options
Show BOS (show_bos) → Enables/disables BOS detection.
Show MSS (show_mss) → Enables/disables MSS detection.
Line & Label Customization
BOS Line Style (bos_style) → Options: Solid, Dashed, Dotted
MSS Line Style (mss_style) → Options: Solid, Dashed, Dotted
BOS & MSS Line Width → Adjustable from 1 to 4 pixels
BOS & MSS Text Size → Options: Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, Huge
BOS & MSS Text Position → Options: Left, Center, Right
Why This Script is Useful
✔ Detects Key Market Structure Changes
MSS and BOS are critical for identifying trend reversals and trend continuations.
Helps traders avoid false breakouts by distinguishing between structural shifts and simple breakouts.
✔ Enhances Smart Money Trading Strategies
MSS often aligns with liquidity grabs before price reverses.
BOS confirms continuation trades in strong trends.
Works well with Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), Order Blocks (OBs), and Liquidity Zones.
✔ Customizable Alerts & Visuals
Traders can enable alerts for MSS and BOS to receive notifications when price shifts.
Adjustable styling ensures clarity across different trading setups.
✔ Works on Any Asset & Timeframe
Suitable for Forex, Crypto, Stocks, and Indices.
Can be used on lower timeframes (scalping) or higher timeframes (swing trading).
How to Use the Market Structure Shift Concept in Trading
1️⃣ Identify Market Conditions
Apply the script and check if price is forming Higher Highs (HH), Higher Lows (HL), Lower Highs (LH), or Lower Lows (LL).
Determine if the market is trending or ranging.
2️⃣ Watch for MSS (Reversal Signals)
Bullish MSS: Price closes above a key swing high → potential bullish reversal.
Bearish MSS: Price closes below a swing low → potential bearish reversal.
3️⃣ Confirm BOS (Trend Continuation Signals)
Bullish BOS: Price continues breaking highs, confirming an uptrend.
Bearish BOS: Price continues breaking lows, confirming a downtrend.
4️⃣ Combine with Other ICT & SMC Concepts
Look for Order Blocks (OBs) and Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) near MSS/BOS levels for better trade entries.
Wait for liquidity grabs before entering trades (avoid stop hunts).
Use higher timeframe MSS/BOS zones as key support & resistance areas.
Final Thoughts
This script is a must-have tool for traders using ICT & SMC trading strategies. It helps identify trend shifts, liquidity grabs, and continuation moves by marking Market Structure Shifts (MSS) and Breaks of Structure (BOS) on the chart.

Liquidity Trap Detector (LTD)The Liquidity Trap Detector is an advanced trading tool designed to identify liquidity zones and potential traps set by institutional players. It provides traders with a comprehensive framework to align with smart money movements, helping them avoid common retail pitfalls such as bull and bear traps.
The indicator focuses on detecting liquidity sweeps, breaker blocks, and areas of institutional accumulation/distribution. It integrates multiple technical analysis methods to offer high-probability signals and insights into how liquidity dynamics unfold in the market.
Note : This indicator is not designed for beginners; it is intended for traders who already have a solid understanding of trading fundamentals. It is tailored for individuals who are familiar with concepts like liquidity, order blocks, and traps. Traders with at least 6 months to 1 year of trading experience will fully appreciate the power and potential of this indicator, as they will have the necessary knowledge to leverage its features effectively. Beginners may find it challenging to grasp the advanced concepts embedded in this tool.
Why Combine These Elements?
The components of the Liquidity Trap Detector are carefully chosen to address the core challenges of identifying institutional activity and liquidity traps. Here’s why each element is included and how they work together:
1. Order Blocks:
• Purpose: Identify zones where large institutional players accumulate or distribute positions.
• Role in the Indicator: These zones act as primary liquidity areas, where price is likely to reverse or consolidate due to significant order flow.
2. Breaker Blocks:
• Purpose: Highlight areas where liquidity has been swept, leading to potential price reversals or continuations.
• Role in the Indicator: Confirms whether a liquidity trap has occurred and provides actionable levels for entry or exit.
3. ATR-Based Volatility Zones:
• Purpose: Filter signals based on market volatility to ensure trades align with statistically significant price movements.
• Role in the Indicator: Defines dynamic support and resistance zones, improving the accuracy of signal generation.
4. Volume Delta:
• Purpose: Measure the imbalance between aggressive buyers and sellers, often indicating institutional activity.
• Role in the Indicator: Validates whether a liquidity trap is backed by smart money absorption or retail-driven momentum.
5. Trend Confirmation (EMA):
• Purpose: Align liquidity trap signals with the broader market trend, reducing false positives.
• Role in the Indicator: Ensures trades are executed in the direction of the prevailing trend.
What Makes It Unique?
1. Gen 1 Liquidity Zones and Traps:
• The indicator identifies Gen 1 Liquidity Zones, which represent the first areas where liquidity is accumulated or swept. While these zones often lead to reversals, they can sometimes fail, resulting in continuation moves. The indicator highlights these scenarios, helping traders adapt.
• For example, a bull trap identified in a Gen 1 Zone may see price move higher after an initial red candle, completing a secondary liquidity sweep before reversing.
2. Multi-Layer Signal Validation:
• Signals are only generated when liquidity, volume, trend, and volatility align. This ensures high-probability setups and reduces noise in choppy markets.
3. Dynamic Adaptability:
• ATR-based zones and volume delta filtering allow the indicator to adapt to different market conditions, from trending to range-bound environments.
4. Institutional Insights:
• By focusing on liquidity sweeps, order blocks, and volume imbalances, the indicator helps traders align with institutional strategies rather than retail behavior.
How It Works
The Liquidity Trap Detector uses a step-by-step process to identify and validate liquidity traps:
1. Identifying Liquidity Zones:
• Order Blocks: Mark key zones of institutional activity where price is likely to reverse.
• Breaker Blocks: Highlight areas where liquidity sweeps have occurred, signaling potential traps.
2. Filtering with Volatility (ATR):
• ATR defines dynamic support and resistance zones, ensuring signals are only generated near significant price levels.
3. Validating Traps with Volume Delta:
• Volume delta shows whether liquidity sweeps are backed by aggressive buying/selling from institutions, confirming the trap’s validity.
4. Aligning with Market Trends:
• EMA ensures signals align with the broader trend to reduce false positives.
5. Monitoring Gen 1 Liquidity Zones:
• The indicator highlights Gen 1 Liquidity Zones where price may initially reverse or sweep further before a true reversal. Traders are alerted to potential continuation scenarios if volume or momentum suggests unmet liquidity above/below the zone.
How to Use It
Buy Signal:
• Triggered when:
• Price sweeps below an order block and forms a breaker block, indicating a liquidity trap.
• Volume delta confirms aggressive selling absorption.
• ATR volatility zone supports the reversal.
• EMA confirms a bullish trend.
• Action: Enter a Buy trade and set:
• Stop Loss (SL): Below the order block.
• Take Profit (TP): Near the next resistance or liquidity zone.
Sell Signal:
• Triggered when:
• Price sweeps above an order block and forms a breaker block, indicating a liquidity trap.
• Volume delta confirms aggressive buying absorption.
• ATR volatility zone supports the reversal.
• EMA confirms a bearish trend.
• Action: Enter a Sell trade and set:
• SL: Above the order block.
• TP: Near the next support or liquidity zone.
Timeframes:
• Best suited for scalping and intraday trading on lower timeframes (5m, 15m, 1H).
• Can also be applied to swing trading on higher timeframes.
Example Scenarios:
1. Bull Trap in a Gen 1 Zone:
• Price sweeps above a resistance order block, forms a breaker block, and reverses sharply. However, if momentum persists, price may continue higher after a minor pullback. The indicator helps traders anticipate this by monitoring volume and trend shifts.
2. Bear Trap with Secondary Sweep:
• Price sweeps below a support order block but fails to reverse immediately, instead forming a secondary liquidity sweep before turning bullish. The indicator highlights both scenarios, allowing for flexible trade management.
Why Use It?
The Liquidity Trap Detector offers:
1. Precision: Combines multiple filters to identify institutional liquidity traps with high accuracy.
2. Adaptability: Works across trending and range-bound markets.
3. Smart Money Alignment: Helps traders avoid retail traps by focusing on liquidity sweeps and institutional behavior.
Martingale8MARTINGALE8 Indicator: Comprehensive User Guide
Welcome to the MARTINGALE8 Indicator, your ultimate tool for implementing a customizable martingale trading strategy directly on TradingView! Whether you're a beginner trader or an experienced strategist, this indicator offers flexibility and clarity, empowering you to trade with confidence. Let’s dive into how you can make the most of it!
What Is the Martingale Principle?
The martingale strategy is a betting technique often used in gambling and trading. The idea is simple: double down on losing positions so that when a trade eventually succeeds, the profits will recover all previous losses and yield a small profit. In trading, this translates to placing incrementally larger buy orders as the price moves against your initial position, assuming the price will eventually reverse in your favor.
The martingale principle works under the asumption of mean reversion —that the price will eventually recover to a point where all accumulated losses are recouped, and a profit is made. By increasing order sizes at lower levels, the average entry price moves closer to the current price, reducing the price move required to reach profitability. However, like any strategy, it carries risks — if the price continues to move against your position without reversing, losses can escalate quickly .

Developed by TradeTech Analysis to empower traders with automated tools for smarter trading decisions.
Trading Hub 3.0 JukaThe smart money concept suggests that institutional traders have a greater understanding of the market and often have access to more information than retail traders. Therefore, by analyzing market structure, retail traders can align themselves with the actions of smart money and potentially profit from their moves.
This indicator considerably simplifies the process of identification of market structure for traders based on the TradingHUB-3 technical method. Therefore, it is quite different from the existing market structure or trend detection tools, even the other smart-money-based indicators.
How it works:
The indicator starts candlestick analysis from the given start point detecting followings items.
1) Identify valid pullbacks (minor Zigzag):
Uptrend: In the upward trend, each candle that hits a higher high (HH), acts as our checking candle, and if the next candle hits its low, a valid pullback is formed, and we marked the checking candle as the end of a minor leg. Note that we do not take inside bars into account. If the highest point of the leg hit, the lowest point is marked as the end of pullback leg. On the other hand, if the lowest point of the upward leg is hit, the pullback checking procedure is restarted as a downtrend. Note that the downward checking is restarted from the highest point (previous checking candle).
Downtrend: The pullback detection for downtrend follows the reverse procedure of uptrend.
2) Identify inducements (IDM)
The last pullback point (on the minor zigzag) considers as the inducement level. In the uptrend, if the price hit the IDM, the highest point on the major leg is accepted as a major higher high. Note, if the IDM point is equal to a major HL and hit by price, the highest point is accepted as a new HH and the previous HH and LL are deleted (i.e. the HH is transferred).
In the downtrend, it acts conversely.
3) Identify valid break of structures (BOS)
In the uptrend, if the price closed above the highest point between the previous accepted HH to the current candle, a BOS is accrued, and the lowest point in this time interval is accepted as a higher low (HL). In the downtrend, it acts contrariwise.
4) Identify valid change of characters (Choch)
In the uptrend, if the price closed below the lowest point between the previous accepted HL to the current candle, a Choch is accrued, and the major trend changes from uptrend to downtrend, and a new reverse IDM will be detected. In the downtrend, it acts inversely.
5) Identify major HH/HL/LL/LH points
By following the above steps, the major higher highs, higher lows, lower highs, and lower lows, as well as the major trend are detected. The major high and lows on the major trend can be displayed by zigzag style or bullet points with corresponding up/down color.

Leverage-Aware Trade Optimizer (LATO)
Short Title: LATO
Category: Trading Tools / Technical Analysis
Overview
The Leverage-Aware Trade Optimizer (LATO) is a powerful algorithm designed to track and analyze market oscillations, identify reversal zones, and provide dynamic trading levels for optimal decision-making. With built-in risk management features, LATO enhances traders’ ability to make well-informed decisions based on a comprehensive range of market indicators, including price oscillations, probabilities, and leverage-related risks.
Key Features
Comprehensive Market Oscillation Tracking: LATO utilizes advanced indicators such as the Indexed Position Oscillator (IPO), Candle Relative Percentage (CRP), and Oscillating Range Indicator (ORI) to track price fluctuations and detect key market oscillations, providing a detailed view of price movements.
Dynamic Price Levels for Trading Decisions: The script calculates critical price levels such as WAP, WBP, XAP, and XBP. These weighted and expanded prices help identify potential support and resistance zones for accurate trade entries and exits.
Reversal Detection and Trend Identification: LATO is designed to recognize top and bottom reversal zones using user-defined thresholds (e.g., upper_reversal, lower_reversal). The algorithm signals potential trend changes with event markers such as UP, DOWN, UIP, and DIP, enabling traders to anticipate market reversals.
Risk and Leverage Mapping: By estimating liquidation levels for various leverage values (5x, 10x, 20x, etc.), LATO assists in risk management, helping traders visualize leverage exposure and optimize their trades according to risk tolerance.
Integrated Visualization and Event Labels: LATO enhances visual analysis by plotting key levels, trend lines, and event markers on the chart. Custom labels summarize critical values, including SOD (Sell Odds), BOD (Buy Odds), ORI (Oscillating Range Indicator), and PVI (Price Volatility Index), offering a quick, actionable summary for traders.
User Inputs
Orders Deviation (order_deviation): Controls the deviation for calculating trade levels.
Top Reversal (upper_reversal): Sets the threshold for the upper reversal zone.
Bottom Reversal (lower_reversal): Sets the threshold for the lower reversal zone.
How It Works
LATO tracks market oscillations through the Indexed Position Oscillator (IPO) and Candle Relative Percentage (CRP), dynamically adjusting as the market fluctuates. The algorithm then identifies key levels using weighted prices (e.g., WAP, WBP) and generates reversal signals based on defined thresholds.
Once the Leverage-Aware Trade Optimizer (LATO) is applied to a chart, it automatically calculates dynamic support and resistance levels and identifies potential buying or selling opportunities. The script also plots liquidation zones based on different leverage levels and visualizes these areas through color-coded lines.
Use Case Scenarios
Trend Reversal Detection: Identify when the market is likely to reverse based on the ORI and price action.
Dynamic Price Levels: Use the weighted price levels and trend lines to pinpoint entry/exit points.
Leverage Risk Management: Monitor liquidation levels and use them for managing risk while trading with leverage.
Oscillation Tracking: Track key oscillations for detecting overbought or oversold conditions.
Alert Setup for LATO
You can set up alerts based on the key conditions like UP, DOWN, UIP, and DIP, as well as specific market movements.
Down Trend Alert (DOWN): Alerts when there’s a downtrend, triggered by a crossover of WBP and BL5, with specific conditions for ORI and SOD.
Up Trend Alert (UP): Alerts when there’s an uptrend, triggered by a crossunder of WAP and SL5, with ORI below -0.5.
Upper Reversal Alert (UIP): Alerts when ORI crosses below the lower_reversal threshold.
Downward Reversal Alert (DIP): Alerts when ORI crosses above the upper_reversal threshold.
Conclusion
The Leverage-Aware Trade Optimizer (LATO) is a comprehensive trading tool designed for traders seeking to optimize their trade entries and exits. By combining multiple indicators, dynamic price levels, and reversal zone detection, LATO offers an advanced approach to market analysis and decision-making. Whether you’re trading with leverage or simply looking for trend confirmation, LATO provides the insights you need to maximize your trading potential.

Turtle Soup ICT Strategy [TradingFinder] FVG + CHoCH/CSD🔵 Introduction
The ICT Turtle Soup trading setup, designed in the ICT style, operates by hunting or sweeping liquidity zones to exploit false breakouts and failed breakouts in key liquidity Zones, such as recent highs, lows, or major support and resistance levels.
This setup identifies moments when the price breaches these liquidity zones, triggering stop orders placed (Stop Hunt) by other traders, and then quickly reverses direction. These movements are often associated with liquidity sweeps that create temporary market imbalances.
The reversal is typically confirmed by one of three structural shifts : a Market Structure Shift (MSS), a Change of Character (CHoCH), or a break of the Change in State of Delivery (CISD). Each of these structural shifts provides a reliable signal to interpret market intent and align trading decisions with the expected price movement. After the structural shift, the price frequently pullback to a Fair Value Gap (FVG), offering a precise entry point for trades.
By integrating key concepts such as liquidity, liquidity sweeps, stop order activation, structural shifts (MSS, CHoCH, CISD), and price imbalances, the ICT Turtle Soup setup enables traders to identify reversal points and key entry zones with high accuracy.
This strategy is highly versatile, making it applicable across markets such as forex, stocks, cryptocurrencies, and futures. It offers traders a robust and systematic approach to understanding price movements and optimizing their trading strategies
🟣 Bullish and Bearish Setups
Bullish Setup : The price first sweeps below a Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) zone, then reverses upward after forming an MSS or CHoCH, and finally pulls back to an FVG, creating a buying opportunity.
Bearish Setup : The price first sweeps above a Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) zone, then reverses downward after forming an MSS or CHoCH, and finally pulls back to an FVG, creating a selling opportunity.
🔵 How to Use
To effectively utilize the ICT Turtle Soup trading setup, begin by identifying key liquidity zones, such as recent highs, lows, or support and resistance levels, in higher timeframes.
Then, monitor lower timeframes for a Liquidity Sweep and confirmation of a Market Structure Shift (MSS) or Change of Character (CHoCH).
After the structural shift, the price typically pulls back to an FVG, offering an optimal trade entry point. Below, the bullish and bearish setups are explained in detail.
🟣 Bullish Turtle Soup Setup
Identify Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) : In a higher timeframe (e.g., 1-hour or 4-hour), identify recent price lows or support levels that serve as SSL zones, typically the location of stop-loss orders for traders.
Observe a Liquidity Sweep : On a lower timeframe (e.g., 15-minute or 30-minute), the price must move below one of these liquidity zones and then reverse. This movement indicates a liquidity sweep.
Confirm Market Structure Shift : After the price reversal, look for a structural shift (MSS or CHoCH) indicated by the formation of a Higher Low (HL) and Higher High (HH).
Enter the Trade : Once the structural shift is confirmed, the price typically pulls back to an FVG. Enter a buy trade in this zone, set a stop-loss slightly below the recent low, and target Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) in the higher timeframe for profit.
🟣 Bearish Turtle Soup Setup
Identify Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) : In a higher timeframe, identify recent price highs or resistance levels that serve as BSL zones, typically the location of stop-loss orders for traders.
Observe a Liquidity Sweep : On a lower timeframe, the price must move above one of these liquidity zones and then reverse. This movement indicates a liquidity sweep.
Confirm Market Structure Shift : After the price reversal, look for a structural shift (MSS or CHoCH) indicated by the formation of a Lower High (LH) and Lower Low (LL).
Enter the Trade : Once the structural shift is confirmed, the price typically pulls back to an FVG. Enter a sell trade in this zone, set a stop-loss slightly above the recent high, and target Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) in the higher timeframe for profit.
🔵 Settings
Higher TimeFrame Levels : This setting allows you to specify the higher timeframe (e.g., 1-hour, 4-hour, or daily) for identifying key liquidity zones.
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 filter s:
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.
In the indicator settings, you can customize the visibility of various elements, including MSS, FVG, and HTF Levels. Additionally, the color of each element can be adjusted to match your preferences. This feature allows traders to tailor the chart display to their specific needs, enhancing focus on the key data relevant to their strategy.
🔵 Conclusion
The ICT Turtle Soup trading setup is a powerful tool in the ICT style, enabling traders to exploit false breakouts in key liquidity zones. By combining concepts of liquidity, liquidity sweeps, market structure shifts (MSS and CHoCH), and pullbacks to FVG, this setup helps traders identify precise reversal points and execute trades with reduced risk and increased accuracy.
With applications across various markets, including forex, stocks, crypto, and futures, and its customizable indicator settings, the ICT Turtle Soup setup is ideal for both beginner and advanced traders. By accurately identifying liquidity zones in higher timeframes and confirming structure shifts in lower timeframes, this setup provides a reliable strategy for navigating volatile market conditions.

By integrating advanced features such as Moving Averages, Divergences, and Sweeps, it helps traders identify key market dynamics, potential reversals, and newly-approach trading stragies.
The toolkit expands on standard RSI usage by incorporating features from smart money concepts (Just try to be creative 🤣 Hope you like it), providing a deeper understanding of momentum, liquidity sweeps, and trend reversals. It is suitable for RSI traders who want to make more informed and effective trading decisions.
💎 FEATURES
RSI Moving Average
The RSI Moving Average (RSI MA) is the moving average of the RSI itself. It can be customized to use various types of moving averages, including Simple Moving Average (SMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), Relative Moving Average (RMA), and Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA).
The RSI MA smooths out the RSI fluctuations, making it easier to identify trends and crossovers. It helps traders spot momentum shifts and potential entry/exit points by observing when the RSI crosses above or below its moving average.
RSI Divergence
RSI Divergence identifies discrepancies between price action and RSI momentum. There are two types of divergences: Regular Divergence - Indicates a potential trend reversal; Hidden Divergence - Suggests the continuation of the current trend.
Divergence is a critical signal for spotting weakness or strength in a trend. Regular divergence highlights potential trend reversals, while hidden divergence confirms trend continuation, offering traders valuable insights into market momentum and possible trade setups.
RSI Sweep
RSI Sweep detects moments when the RSI removes liquidity from a trend structure by sweeping above or below the price at key momentum level crossing. These sweeps are overlaid on the RSI chart for easier visualized.
RSI Sweeps are significant because they indicate potential turning points in the market. When RSI sweeps occur: In an uptrend - they suggest buyers' momentum has peaked, possibly leading to a reversal; In a downtrend - they indicate sellers’ momentum has peaked, also hinting at a reversal.
(Note: This feature incorporates Liquidity Sweep concepts from Smart Money Concepts into RSI analysis, helping RSI traders identify areas where liquidity has been removed, which often precedes a trend reversal)
🔎 BREAKDOWN
RSI Moving Average
How MA created: The RSI value is calculated first using the standard RSI formula. The MA is then applied to the RSI values using the trader’s chosen type of MA (SMA, EMA, RMA, or VWMA). The flexibility to choose the type of MA allows traders to adjust the smoothing effect based on their trading style.
Why use MA: RSI by itself can be noisy and difficult to interpret in volatile markets. Applying moving average would provide a smoother, more reliable view of RSI trends.
RSI Divergence
How Regular Divergence created: Regular Divergence is detected when price forms HIGHER highs while RSI forms LOWER highs (bearish divergence) or when price forms LOWER lows while RSI forms HIGHER lows (bullish divergence).
How Hidden Divergence created: Hidden Divergence is identified when price forms HIGHER lows while RSI forms LOWER lows (bullish hidden divergence) or when price forms LOWER highs while RSI forms HIGHER highs (bearish hidden divergence).
Why use Divergence: Divergences provide early warning signals of a potential trend change. Regular divergence helps traders anticipate reversals, while hidden divergence supports trend continuation, enabling traders to align their trades with market momentum.
RSI Sweep
How Sweep created: Trend Structure Shift are identified based on the RSI crossing key momentum level of 50. To track these sweeps, the indicator pinpoints moments when liquidity is removed from the Trend Structure Shift. This is a direct application of Liquidity Sweep concepts used in Smart Money theories, adapted to RSI.
Why use Sweep: RSI Sweeps are created to help traders detect potential trend reversals. By identifying areas where momentum has exhausted during a certain trend direction, the indicator highlights opportunities for traders to enter trades early in a reversal or continuation phase.
⚙️ USAGES
Divergence + Sweep
This is an example of combining Devergence & Sweep in BTCUSDT (1 hour)
Wait for a divergence (regular or hidden) to form on the RSI. After the divergence is complete, look for a sweep to occur. A potential entry might be formed at the end of the sweep.
Divergences indicate a potential trend change, but confirmation is required to ensure the setup is valid. The RSI Sweep provides that confirmation by signaling a liquidity event, increasing the likelihood of a successful trade.
Sweep + MA Cross
This is an example of combining Devergence & Sweep in BTCUSDT (1 hour)
Wait for an RSI Sweep to form then a potential entry might be formed when the RSI crosses its MA.
The RSI Sweep highlights a potential turning point in the market. The MA cross serves as additional confirmation that momentum has shifted, providing a more reliable and more potential entry signal for trend continuations.
DISCLAIMER
This indicator is not financial advice, it can only help traders make better decisions. There are many factors and uncertainties that can affect the outcome of any endeavor, and no one can guarantee or predict with certainty what will occur. Therefore, one should always exercise caution and judgment when making decisions based on past performance.
Austin MTF EMA Entry PointsAustin MTF EMA Entry Points
Overview
The Austin MTF EMA Entry Points is a custom TradingView indicator designed to assist traders in identifying high-probability entry points by combining multiple time frame (MTF) analysis. It leverages exponential moving averages (EMAs) from the daily, 1-hour, and 15-minute charts to generate buy and sell signals that align with the overall trend.
This indicator is ideal for traders who:
Want to trade in the direction of the broader daily trend.
Seek precise entry points on lower time frames (1H and 15M).
Prefer using EMAs as their main trend-following tool.
How It Works
Daily Trend Filter:
The indicator calculates the 50 EMA on the daily chart.
The daily EMA acts as the primary trend filter:
If the current price is above the daily 50 EMA, the trend is bullish.
If the current price is below the daily 50 EMA, the trend is bearish.
Lower Time Frame Entry Points:
The indicator calculates the 20 EMA on both the 1-hour (1H) and 15-minute (15M) time frames.
Buy and sell signals are generated when the price aligns with the trend on all three time frames:
Buy Signal: Price is above the daily 50 EMA and also above the 20 EMA on both the 1H and 15M charts.
Sell Signal: Price is below the daily 50 EMA and also below the 20 EMA on both the 1H and 15M charts.
Visual and Alert Features:
Plot Lines:
The daily 50 EMA is plotted in yellow for easy identification of the main trend.
The 20 EMA from the 1H chart is plotted in blue, and the 15M chart's EMA is in purple for comparison.
Buy/Sell Markers:
Green "Up" arrows appear for buy signals.
Red "Down" arrows appear for sell signals.
Alerts:
Alerts notify users when a buy or sell signal is triggered, making it easier to act on trading opportunities in real-time.
How to Use the Indicator
Identify the Main Trend:
Check the relationship between the price and the daily 50 EMA (yellow line):
Only look for buy signals if the price is above the daily 50 EMA.
Only look for sell signals if the price is below the daily 50 EMA.
Wait for Lower Time Frame Alignment:
For a valid signal, ensure that the price is also above or below the 20 EMA (blue and purple lines) on both the 1H and 15M time frames:
This alignment confirms short-term momentum in the same direction as the daily trend.
Act on Signals:
Use the arrows as visual cues for entry points:
Enter long trades on green "Up" arrows.
Enter short trades on red "Down" arrows.
The alerts will notify you of these signals, so you don’t have to monitor the chart constantly.
Exit Strategy:
Use your preferred stop-loss, take-profit, or trailing stop strategy.
You can also exit trades if the price crosses back below/above the daily 50 EMA, signaling a potential reversal.
Use Cases
Swing Traders: Use the daily trend filter to trade in the direction of the dominant trend, while using 1H and 15M signals to fine-tune entries.
Day Traders: Leverage the 1H and 15M time frames to capitalize on short-term momentum while respecting the broader daily trend.
Position Traders: Monitor the indicator to determine potential reversals or significant alignment across time frames.
Customizable Inputs
The indicator includes the following inputs:
Daily EMA Length: Default is 50. Adjust this to change the length of the trend filter EMA.
Lower Time Frame EMA Length: Default is 20. Adjust this to change the short-term EMA for the 1H and 15M charts.
Time Frames: Hardcoded to "D", "60", and "15", but you can modify the script for different time frames if needed.
Example Scenarios
Buy Signal:
Price is above the daily 50 EMA.
Price crosses above the 20 EMA on both the 1H and 15M time frames.
A green "Up" arrow is displayed, and an alert is triggered.
Sell Signal:
Price is below the daily 50 EMA.
Price crosses below the 20 EMA on both the 1H and 15M time frames.
A red "Down" arrow is displayed, and an alert is triggered.
Strengths and Limitations
Strengths:
Aligns trades with the higher time frame trend for increased probability.
Uses multiple time frame analysis to identify precise entry points.
Visual signals and alerts make it easy to use in real-time.
Limitations:
May produce fewer signals in choppy or ranging markets.
Requires discipline to avoid overtrading when conditions are unclear.
Lag in EMAs could result in late entries in fast-moving markets.
Final Notes
The Austin MTF EMA Entry Points indicator is a powerful tool for traders who value multiple time frame alignment and trend-following strategies. While it simplifies decision-making, it is always recommended to backtest and practice proper risk management before using it in live markets.

SiCInside Sweep Close (ISC):
This concept captures a specific price action behavior and can help refine trading strategies for better precision. Here's a detailed explanation:
Inside:
The closing price of the candle stays within the range of the previous candle.
This indicates a containment of price action, suggesting indecision or preparation for a significant move.
Sweep:
The wick of the candle takes out (or "sweeps") the low (or high) of the previous candle.
This sweep can trigger stop-losses of retail traders or activate pending orders, often used by smart money strategies.
Close:
The candle ultimately closes inside the range of the previous candle.
This close signifies that the sweep was a liquidity grab rather than a genuine breakout, providing an actionable trading signal.
How ISC Can Be Used in Trading:
Liquidity Grab Recognition:
ISC can indicate when liquidity is swept from the market, making it an ideal entry point for traders anticipating a reversal or continuation.
Smart Money Concept (SMC) Synergy:
If you follow SMC principles, ISC aligns with key concepts like liquidity sweeps, order blocks, and mitigation zones.
Risk Management:
By identifying the ISC setup, you can place tighter stop-loss levels just outside the sweep, optimizing risk-reward ratios.
Entry Signals:
When you spot an ISC, you can enter trades at the close of the candle, anticipating a move in the direction opposite to the sweep.
Example of ISC in Action:
Imagine a bearish candle:
The wick sweeps the low of the previous candle, possibly triggering stop-losses.
However, the close stays inside the previous candle’s range.
This setup might indicate a reversal, where price moves upward after grabbing liquidity.
Why This Name Works:
It’s concise, professional, and directly linked to the trading action you’re describing.
The short form, ISC, is easy to remember and discuss within trading circles or while teaching others.
It ties into widely known concepts like smart money, price action, and liquidity sweeps, making it relatable yet unique.

Silver Bullet ICT Strategy [TradingFinder] 10-11 AM NY Time +FVG🔵 Introduction
The ICT Silver Bullet trading strategy is a precise, time-based algorithmic approach that relies on Fair Value Gaps and Liquidity to identify high-probability trade setups. The strategy primarily focuses on the New York AM Session from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM, leveraging heightened market activity within this critical window to capture short-term trading opportunities.
As an intraday strategy, it is most effective on lower timeframes, with ICT recommending a 15-minute chart or lower. While experienced traders often utilize 1-minute to 5-minute charts, beginners may find the 1-minute timeframe more manageable for applying this strategy.
This approach specifically targets quick trades, designed to take advantage of market movements within tight one-hour windows. By narrowing its focus, the Silver Bullet offers a streamlined and efficient method for traders to capitalize on liquidity shifts and price imbalances with precision.
In the fast-paced world of forex trading, the ability to identify market manipulation and false price movements is crucial for traders aiming to stay ahead of the curve. The Silver Bullet Indicator simplifies this process by integrating ICT principles such as liquidity traps, Order Blocks, and Fair Value Gaps (FVG).
These concepts form the foundation of a tool designed to mimic the strategies of institutional players, empowering traders to align their trades with the "smart money." By transforming complex market dynamics into actionable insights, the Silver Bullet Indicator provides a powerful framework for short-term trading success
Silver Bullet Bullish Setup :
Silver Bullet Bearish Setup :
🔵 How to Use
The Silver Bullet Indicator is a specialized tool that operates within the critical time windows of 9:00-10:00 and 10:00-11:00 in the forex market. Its design incorporates key principles from ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology, focusing on concepts such as liquidity traps, CISD Levels, Order Blocks, and Fair Value Gaps (FVG) to provide precise and actionable trade setups.
🟣 Bullish Setup
In a bullish setup, the indicator starts by marking the high and low of the session, serving as critical reference points for liquidity. A typical sequence involves a liquidity grab below the low, where the price manipulates retail traders into selling positions by breaching a key support level.
This movement is often orchestrated by smart money to accumulate buy orders. Following this liquidity grab, a market structure shift (MSS) occurs, signaled by the price breaking the CISD Level—a confirmation of bullish intent. The indicator then highlights an Order Block near the CISD Level, representing the zone where institutional buying is concentrated.
Additionally, it identifies a Fair Value Gap, which acts as a high-probability area for price retracement and trade entry. Traders can confidently take long positions when the price revisits these zones, targeting the next significant liquidity pool or resistance level.
Bullish Setup in CAPITALCOM:US100 :
🟣 Bearish Setup
Conversely, in a bearish setup, the price manipulates liquidity by creating a false breakout above the high of the session. This move entices retail traders into long positions, allowing institutional players to enter sell orders.
Once the price reverses direction and breaches the CISD Level to the downside, a change of character (CHOCH) becomes evident, confirming a bearish market structure. The indicator highlights an Order Block near this level, indicating the origin of the institutional sell orders, along with an associated FVG, which represents an imbalance zone likely to be revisited before the price continues downward.
By entering short positions when the price retraces to these levels, traders align their strategies with the anticipated continuation of bearish momentum, targeting nearby liquidity voids or support zones.
Bearish Setup in OANDA:XAUUSD :
🔵 Settings
Refine Order Block : Enables finer adjustments to Order Block levels for more accurate price responses.
Mitigation Level OB : Allows users to set specific reaction points within an Order Block, including: Proximal: Closest level to the current price. 50% OB: Midpoint of the Order Block. Distal: Farthest level from the current price.
FVG Filter : The Judas Swing indicator includes a filter for Fair Value Gap (FVG), allowing different filtering based on FVG width: FVG Filter Type: Can be set to "Very Aggressive," "Aggressive," "Defensive," or "Very Defensive." Higher defensiveness narrows the FVG width, focusing on narrower gaps.
Mitigation Level FVG : Like the Order Block, you can set price reaction levels for FVG with options such as Proximal, 50% OB, and Distal.
CISD : The Bar Back Check option enables traders to specify the number of past candles checked for identifying the CISD Level, enhancing CISD Level accuracy on the chart.
🔵 Conclusion
The Silver Bullet Indicator is a cutting-edge tool designed specifically for forex traders who aim to leverage market dynamics during critical liquidity windows. By focusing on the highly active 9:00-10:00 and 10:00-11:00 timeframes, the indicator simplifies complex market concepts such as liquidity traps, Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps (FVG), and CISD Levels, transforming them into actionable insights.
What sets the Silver Bullet Indicator apart is its precision in detecting false breakouts and market structure shifts (MSS), enabling traders to align their strategies with institutional activity. The visual clarity of its signals, including color-coded zones and directional arrows, ensures that both novice and experienced traders can easily interpret and apply its findings in real-time.
By integrating ICT principles, the indicator empowers traders to identify high-probability entry and exit points, minimize risk, and optimize trade execution. Whether you are capturing short-term price movements or navigating complex market conditions, the Silver Bullet Indicator offers a robust framework to enhance your trading performance.
Ultimately, this tool is more than just an indicator; it is a strategic ally for traders who seek to decode the movements of smart money and capitalize on institutional strategies. With the Silver Bullet Indicator, traders can approach the market with greater confidence, precision, and profitability.
Heiken Ashi Algo Premium KillZoneTraders face daily challenges in navigating the fast-paced market, from waiting for higher timeframe data to delayed confirmation signals. This innovative system changes everything, offering tools that have never before been available in the trading community. With groundbreaking features like
KillZones
High Timeframe RSI (HTF RSI) and
True Midline
this system is seeks to solve major problems that hurt traders every day.
KillZones give traders an edge by pinpointing critical price levels where momentum and liquidity shift.
The Custom High Timeframe RSI brings real-time higher timeframe trend confirmation directly to your chart, eliminating the need to wait for candles to close. A totally new way to calculate HTF RSI without waiting for higher time candles to close.
The True Midline adjusts dynamically, showing exactly when the market is in equilibrium or transitioning between bullish and bearish momentum.
Custom Heiken-Ashi Oscillator Candles:
It uses customized Heiken Ashi candle calculations that allow it present trends more accurately while the candles are limited to an oscillator as opposed to price values. Candle up or candle down doesnt always mean long or short. Ive included a setting called "Secret Sauce Colors" to alter the colors of the Heiken Ashi candles so they will be colored to the actual trend taking place instead of just bullish or bearish closing.
The Liquidity Ribbon:
This indicator contains a built in customized version of a Stochastic Oscillator called "The Liquidity Ribbon" which shows you when liquidity of either side is entering and existing the market. It uses calculations of market and volume pressure to give you a visual representation of who is trying to alter asset pricing. This is NOT the stochastic RSI but I've given you guys an visual approach of something that looks similar.
The ribbon has bullish and bearish sides that flip over eachother. As one grows, the other shrinks so yo u can see in real time the flow of money from either side and whos winning.
Bullish and Bearish Premium and Discount Zones
What Are They?
Bullish and Bearish Premium and Discount Zones are visualized on the indicator as distinct colored sections within the oscillator, providing a quick snapshot of market conditions:
Bearish Premium Zone: Indicates areas of overextension in bearish momentum, often associated with ranging markets.
Bearish Discount Zone: Highlights opportunities where bearish trends are gaining strength and momentum is trending.
Bullish Discount Zone: Marks areas in bullish conditions where the market is consolidating or ranging.
Bullish Premium Zone: Identifies zones where bullish momentum is strong and trends are more pronounced.
How to Use Them?
For long trades, consider the following:
Scalping Opportunities: When the market is trending higher and Heiken-Ashi candles are closing above the high-timeframe RSI, short-term long scalps can be executed in the Discount Bullish Zone, where consolidation occurs.
Trending Trades: Larger, more sustained long trades can be taken when price moves into the Premium Bullish Zone, signaling stronger upward momentum.
Breakout Trading: When price crosses into a trending zone and simultaneously breaks through previous price resistance or support, this confluence solidifies entries for breakout trades across previous highs or lows, providing a higher probability for successful trades.
This structured use of Premium and Discount Zones gives traders a clear edge, offering insights into both market range and trend strength.
True Midline
What Is It?
The True Midline represents the dynamic equilibrium between buyers and sellers, adapting to real-time market activity. Unlike fixed midlines in traditional oscillators, it adjusts based on where buyers and sellers enter and exit the market.
How Does It Work?
The midline accounts for four key activities: buyer entry, buyer exit, seller entry, and seller exit. This holistic approach highlights shifts in momentum and periods of reduced activity, such as when both buyers and sellers exit simultaneously, creating larger ranging zones.
How to Use It?
Consolidation Zones: Narrow midline ranges signal market indecision, often preceding breakouts.
Momentum Shifts: Crossing above or below the midline indicates transitions into bullish or bearish conditions.
Ranging Markets: Identifies reduced interest during simultaneous buyer and seller exits, helping avoid false signals.
The True Midline offers a clearer picture of market balance, helping traders navigate trends and consolidations with confidence.
Dynamic Trending Zones:
What Are They?
Dynamic Trending Zones represent areas of high volatility and breakout potential, reflecting shifts in market momentum and participation. These zones are self-adjusting and directly influence the midline's position.
There are two zones:
Bullish Trending Zone: Signals increased buyer momentum.
Bearish Trending Zone: Signals increased seller momentum.
How Are They Calculated?
The zones are derived using a combination of volume pressure and momentum changes, but these changes need to be sufficient to have moved price over time:
The indicator tracks sudden shifts in momentum relative to volume changes to identify critical thresholds for breakouts.
A "need-to-cross" point is established in each zone, acting as a breakout trigger.
If opposing or additional volume and momentum are insufficient, the zone remains unchanged until market conditions shift.
This ensures the zones dynamically adapt to real-time market activity while maintaining accuracy during periods of indecision or consolidation.
How to Use Them?
Bullish Breakouts: Crossing into the bullish zone and breaking a previous resistance signals strong buyer momentum. Check for contraction in the bearish zone to confirm dominance.
Bearish Breakouts: Similarly, crossing into the bearish zone while breaking a support level confirms seller strength.
Momentum Confirmation: Ensure current momentum is leading the high-timeframe RSI for more reliable trade setups.
Zone Analysis : Expansion of a zone signals increased participation (e.g., more buyers or sellers entering), while contraction indicates reduced activity or that buyers and or sellers are closing their positions.
These zones provide actionable insights into breakout potential and market momentum, helping traders make informed decisions in volatile conditions.
High Timeframe RSI (HTF RSI)
What Is It?
The High Timeframe RSI gives you real-time higher timeframe RSI values directly on your lower timeframe chart. This means you don’t have to wait for the higher timeframe candle to close before seeing the RSI updates—it’s always live.
Why Is It Needed?
Normally, to see the RSI on a higher timeframe, you have to wait for that timeframe to close. This can be slow and lead to missed opportunities. The HTF RSI solves this by showing you the higher timeframe RSI values as soon as each lower timeframe candle closes, giving you faster insights and no delays.
How It works?
Rather than just using the standard RSI, the HTF RSI compares the momentum on your current timeframe with what it would be on the higher timeframe. It takes into account how many candles on your current chart fit into each higher timeframe candle. This makes sure that the higher timeframe RSI is accurate and reflects the real momentum, even when switching between timeframes.
How to Use It?
Trend Confirmation:
When the HTF RSI is above the midline, it shows a bullish trend on the higher timeframe, and if your current momentum is also bullish, it strengthens your trade setup.
When the HTF RSI is below the midline, it shows a bearish trend, and if your current momentum is bearish, it supports short trade setups.
If bearish momentum is above the HTF RSI, it suggests a local downtrend within a larger bullish trend.
Major Benefits
Custom Timeframes: You can use any higher timeframe you choose, not just the typical ones.
Real-Time Updates: Get higher timeframe RSI values with each candle, without delays.
Better Trading Insights: Align your trades with both lower and higher timeframe trends to make more informed decisions.
With HTF RSI, you get a clear view of higher timeframe trends in real time, so you can act faster and smarter on your trades.

FibExtender [tradeviZion]FibExtender : A Guide to Identifying Resistance with Fibonacci Levels
Introduction
Fibonacci levels are essential tools in technical analysis, helping traders identify potential resistance and support zones in trending markets. FibExtender is designed to make this analysis accessible to traders at all levels, especially beginners, by automating the process of plotting Fibonacci extensions. With FibExtender, you can visualize potential resistance levels quickly, empowering you to make more informed trading decisions without manually identifying every pivot point. In this article, we’ll explore how FibExtender works, guide you step-by-step in using it, and share insights for both beginner and advanced users.
What is FibExtender ?
FibExtender is an advanced tool that automates Fibonacci extension plotting based on significant pivot points in price movements. Fibonacci extensions are percentages based on prior price swings, often used to forecast potential resistance zones where price might reverse or consolidate. By automatically marking these Fibonacci levels on your chart, FibExtender saves time and reduces the complexity of technical analysis, especially for users unfamiliar with calculating and plotting these levels manually.
FibExtender not only identifies Fibonacci levels but also provides a customizable framework where you can adjust anchor points, colors, and level visibility to suit your trading strategy. This customization allows traders to tailor the indicator to fit different market conditions and personal preferences.
Key Features of FibExtender
FibExtender offers several features to make Fibonacci level analysis easier and more effective. Here are some highlights:
Automated Fibonacci Level Identification : The script automatically detects recent swing lows and pivot points to anchor Fibonacci extensions, allowing you to view potential resistance levels with minimal effort.
Customizable Fibonacci Levels : Users can adjust the specific Fibonacci levels they want to display (e.g., 0.618, 1.0, 1.618), enabling a more focused analysis based on preferred ratios. Each level can be color-coded for visual clarity.
Dual Anchor Points : FibExtender allows you to choose between anchoring levels from either the last pivot low or a recent swing low, depending on your preference. This flexibility helps in aligning Fibonacci levels with key market structures.
Transparency and Visual Hierarchy : FibExtender automatically adjusts the transparency of levels based on their "sequence age," creating a subtle visual hierarchy. Older levels appear slightly faded, helping you focus on more recent, potentially impactful levels.
Connection Lines for Context : FibExtender draws connecting lines from recent lows to pivot highs, allowing users to visualize the price movements that generated each Fibonacci extension level.
Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners
Let’s walk through how to use the FibExtender script on a TradingView chart. This guide will ensure that you’re able to set it up and interpret the key information displayed by the indicator.
Step 1: Adding FibExtender to Your Chart
Open your TradingView chart and select the asset you wish to analyze.
Search for “FibExtender ” in the Indicators section.
Click to add the indicator to your chart, and it will automatically plot Fibonacci levels based on recent pivot points.
Step 2: Customizing Fibonacci Levels
Adjust Levels : Under the "Fibonacci Settings" tab, you can enable or disable specific levels, such as 0.618, 1.0, or 1.618. You can also change the color for each level to improve visibility.
Set Anchor Points : Choose between "Last Pivot Low" and "Recent Swing Low" as your Fibonacci anchor point. If you want a broader view, choose "Recent Swing Low"; if you prefer tighter levels, "Last Pivot Low" may be more suitable.
Fib Line Length : Modify the line length for Fibonacci levels to make them more visible on your chart.
Step 3: Spotting Visual Clusters (Manual Analysis)
Identify Potential Resistance Clusters : Look for areas on your chart where multiple Fibonacci levels appear close together. For example, if you see 1.0, 1.272, and 1.618 levels clustered within a small price range, this may indicate a stronger resistance zone.
Why Clusters Matter : Visual clusters often signify areas where traders expect heightened price reaction. When levels are close, it suggests that resistance may be reinforced by multiple significant ratios, making it harder for price to break through. Use these clusters to anticipate potential pullbacks or consolidation areas.
Step 4: Observing the Price Action Around Fibonacci Levels
As price approaches these identified levels, watch for any slowing momentum or reversal patterns, such as doji candles or bearish engulfing formations, that might confirm resistance.
Adjust Strategy Based on Resistance : If price hesitates or reverses at a clustered resistance zone, it may be a signal to secure profits or tighten stops on a long position.
Advanced Insights (for Intermediate to Advanced Users)
For users interested in the technical workings of FibExtender, this section provides insights into how the indicator functions on a code level.
Pivot Point and Swing Detection
FibExtender uses a pivot-high and pivot-low detection function to identify significant price points. The upFractal and dnFractal variables detect these levels based on recent highs and lows, creating the basis for Fibonacci extension calculations. Here’s an example of the code used for this detection:
// Fractal Calculations
upFractal = ta.pivothigh(n, n)
dnFractal = ta.pivotlow(n, n)
By setting the number of periods for n, users can adjust the sensitivity of the script to recent price swings.
Fibonacci Level Calculation
The following function calculates the Fibonacci levels based on the selected pivot points and applies each level’s specific ratio (e.g., 0.618, 1.618) to project extensions above the recent price swing.
calculateFibExtensions(float startPrice, float highPrice, float retracePrice) =>
fibRange = highPrice - startPrice
var float levels = array.new_float(0)
array.clear(levels)
if array.size(fibLevels) > 0
for i = 0 to array.size(fibLevels) - 1
level = retracePrice + (fibRange * array.get(fibLevels, i))
array.push(levels, level)
levels
This function iterates over each level enabled by the user, calculating extensions by multiplying the price range by the corresponding Fibonacci ratio.
Example Use Case: Identifying Resistance in Microsoft (MSFT)
To better understand how FibExtender highlights resistance, let’s look at Microsoft’s stock chart (MSFT), as shown in the image. The chart displays several Fibonacci levels extending upward from a recent pivot low around $408.17. Here’s how you can interpret the chart:
Clustered Resistance Levels : In the chart, note the grouping of several Fibonacci levels in the range of $450–$470. These levels, particularly when tightly packed, suggest a zone where Microsoft may encounter stronger resistance, as multiple Fibonacci levels signal potential barriers.
Applying Trading Strategies : As price approaches this clustered resistance, traders can watch for weakening momentum. If price begins to stall, it may be wise to lock in profits on long positions or set tighter stop-loss orders.
Observing Momentum Reversals : Look for specific candlestick patterns as price nears these levels, such as bearish engulfing candles or doji patterns. Such patterns can confirm resistance, helping you make informed decisions on whether to exit or manage your position.
Conclusion: Harnessing Fibonacci Extensions with FibExtender
FibExtender is a powerful tool for identifying potential resistance levels without the need for manual Fibonacci calculations. It automates the detection of key swing points and projects Fibonacci extensions, offering traders a straightforward approach to spotting potential resistance zones. For beginners, FibExtender provides a user-friendly gateway to technical analysis, helping you visualize levels where price may react.
For those with a bit more experience, the indicator offers insight into pivot points and Fibonacci calculations, enabling you to fine-tune the analysis for different market conditions. By carefully observing price reactions around clustered levels, users can identify areas of stronger resistance and refine their trade management strategies accordingly.
FibExtender is not just a tool but a framework for disciplined analysis. Using Fibonacci levels for guidance can support your trading decisions, helping you recognize areas where price might struggle or reverse. Integrating FibExtender into your trading strategy can simplify the complexity of Fibonacci extensions and enhance your understanding of resistance dynamics.
Note: Always practice proper risk management and thoroughly test the indicator to ensure it aligns with your trading strategy. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Based on Larry Williams' Methodology : WillStop Pro builds upon Larry Williams' ideas, which are designed to capture major market trends while managing risk effectively. It provides a systematic way to follow these strategies without requiring deep technical analysis skills.
How Are Stop Levels Calculated? (For Advanced Users)
The WillStop Pro indicator determines stop levels by evaluating highs, lows, and closing prices over a specific lookback period. It uses this information to identify key points that justify adjusting your stop level, and there are separate approaches for both long and short positions.
Below, we explain the mathematical logic behind the stop calculations, along with some code snippets to give advanced users a clearer understanding.
For Long Stops (buy positions): The indicator looks for the highest closing price within the lookback period and continues until it finds three valid bars that meet certain criteria. Stops are adjusted to skip bars that have consecutive upward closes to ensure that the stop is placed at a level that offers solid support. Specifically, the function iterates over recent bars to determine the highest closing value, and checks for specific conditions before finalizing the stop level. Here is an excerpt of the relevant code:
getTrueLow(idx) => math.min(low , close )
findStopLevels() =>
float highestClose = close
int highestCloseIndex = 0
for i = 0 to lookback
if close > highestClose
highestClose := close
highestCloseIndex := i
// Logic to adjust based on up close skipping
int longCount = 0
int longCurrentIndex = highestCloseIndex
while longCount < 3 and longCurrentIndex < 100
if not isInsideBar(longCurrentIndex)
longCount += 1
longCurrentIndex += 1
// Determine the lowest low for the stop level
float longStopLevel = high * 2
for i = searchIndex to highestCloseIndex
longStopLevel := math.min(longStopLevel, getTrueLow(i))
// Apply offset
longStopLevel := longStopLevel - (offsetTicks * tickSize)
In this code snippet, the function findStopLevels() calculates the long stop level by first identifying the highest close within the lookback period and then finding a suitable support level while skipping certain conditions, such as inside bars or consecutive upward closes. Finally, the user-defined offset ( offsetTicks ) is applied to determine the stop level.
For Short Stops (sell positions): Similarly, the indicator finds the lowest closing price within the lookback period and then identifies three bars that fit the conditions for a short stop. It avoids using bars with consecutive down closes to help find a more robust resistance level. Here's a relevant code snippet:
getTrueHigh(idx) => math.max(high , close )
findStopLevels() =>
float lowestClose = close
int lowestCloseIndex = 0
for i = 0 to lookback
if close < lowestClose
lowestClose := close
lowestCloseIndex := i
// Logic to adjust based on down close skipping
int shortCount = 0
int shortCurrentIndex = lowestCloseIndex
while shortCount < 3 and shortCurrentIndex < 100
if not isInsideBar(shortCurrentIndex)
shortCount += 1
shortCurrentIndex += 1
// Determine the highest high for the stop level
float shortStopLevel = 0
for i = searchIndex to lowestCloseIndex
shortStopLevel := math.max(shortStopLevel, getTrueHigh(i))
// Apply offset
shortStopLevel := shortStopLevel + (offsetTicks * tickSize)
Here, findStopLevels() calculates the short stop level by finding the lowest closing price within the lookback period. It then determines the highest value that acts as a resistance level, excluding bars that do not fit certain criteria.
Volume Confirmation for Alert Accuracy : To further enhance the stop level accuracy, volume is used as a confirmation filter. The average volume (volAvg) is calculated over a 20-period moving average, and alerts are only generated if the volume exceeds a defined threshold (volMultiplier). This ensures that price movements are significant enough to consider as meaningful signals.
volAvg = ta.sma(volume, 20)
isVolumeConfirmed() =>
result = requireVolumeConfirmation ? volume > (volAvg * volMultiplier) : true
result
This additional logic ensures that stop level breaks or adjustments are not triggered during periods of low trading activity, thus enhancing the reliability of the generated signals.
These calculations are at the core of WillStop Pro's ability to determine dynamic stop levels that respond effectively to market movements, helping traders manage risk by placing stops at levels that make sense given historical price and volume data.
How to Identify Opportunities with WillStop Pro
WillStop Pro provides various signals that help you decide when to enter or exit a trade:
When a Stop Level is Broken: If a stop level (support for long positions or resistance for short positions) is broken, it may indicate a reversal. WillStop Pro visually plots arrows whenever a stop level is breached, making it easy for you to see where changes might occur. This feature helps traders identify momentum shifts quickly.
Support and Resistance Levels: The indicator plots support and resistance levels, which show key zones to watch for opportunities. These levels often act as psychological barriers in the market, where price action may either reverse or stall temporarily.
Dynamic State Management: The indicator shifts between long and short states based on price action, providing real-time feedback. This helps traders stick to their trading plan without second-guessing the market.
A major advantage of WillStop Pro is that it responds well to changing market conditions. By identifying when key support or resistance levels break, it allows you to adjust your strategies and react to new opportunities accordingly. Whether the market is trending strongly or staying within a range, WillStop Pro provides valuable information to help guide your trades.
Setting Up Alerts
Alerts are an important feature in trading, especially when you can’t be in front of your charts all the time. WillStop Pro has been enhanced to include flexible alert settings to help you stay on top of your trades without constantly monitoring the charts.
Enable Alerts: There is a master switch to enable or disable all alerts. This way, you can control whether you want to be notified of events at any time.
Alert Frequency: Choose between receiving alerts Once Per Bar or Once Per Bar Close . This helps you manage the frequency of alerts and decide if you need real-time updates or want confirmation after a bar closes.
Break Alerts: These alerts notify you when a stop level has been broken. This can help you catch potential reversals or trading opportunities as soon as they happen.
Strong Break Alerts: Alerts are available for strong breaks, which occur when the price breaks stop levels with confirmation based on additional price, volume, and momentum criteria. These alerts help identify significant shifts in the market.
Level Change Alerts: These alerts tell you whenever a new stop level is calculated, keeping you updated about changes in market dynamics. You can set a Minimum Level Change % to ensure that alerts are only triggered when the stop level changes significantly.
Require Volume Confirmation: You can opt to receive alerts only if the volume is above a certain threshold. This confirmation helps reduce false signals by ensuring that significant price changes are backed by increased trading activity.
Volume Multiplier: The volume multiplier allows you to set a minimum volume requirement that must be met for an alert to trigger. This ensures that alerts are triggered only when there is sufficient trading interest.
Here is a part of the updated alert logic that has been implemented in the indicator:
// Alert on break conditions
if alertsEnabled
if alertOnBreaks
if longStopBroken and isVolumeConfirmed()
alert(createAlertMessage("Support Break - Short Signal", useAdvancedStops), alertFreq)
if shortStopBroken and isVolumeConfirmed()
alert(createAlertMessage("Resistance Break - Long Signal", useAdvancedStops), alertFreq)
// Strong break alerts
if alertOnStrongBreaks
if longStopBroken and isStrongBreak(false)
alert(createAlertMessage("Strong Support Break - Short Signal", useAdvancedStops), alertFreq)
if shortStopBroken and isStrongBreak(true)
alert(createAlertMessage("Strong Resistance Break - Long Signal", useAdvancedStops), alertFreq)
// Level change alerts
if alertOnLevelChanges and isSignificantChange() and isVolumeConfirmed()
alert(createAlertMessage("Significant Level Change", useAdvancedStops), alertFreq)
Setting alerts allows you to react to market changes without having to watch the charts constantly. Alerts are particularly helpful if you have other responsibilities and can’t be actively monitoring your trades all day.

By concentrating on market structure, price action patterns, and liquidity flows, traders can align their trades with institutional movements and avoid common pitfalls. It is particularly useful in FOREX and stock markets, helping traders identify optimal entry and exit points while minimizing risks from false breakouts.
In today's volatile markets, understanding how smart money manipulates price action across sessions such as Asia, London, and New York is essential for success. The ICT Judas Swing strategy helps traders avoid common pitfalls by focusing on key movements during the opening time and range of each session, identifying breakouts and false breakouts.
By utilizing various time frames and improving risk management, this strategy enables traders to make more informed decisions and take advantage of significant market movements.
In the Judas Swing strategy, for a bullish setup, the price first touches the high of the 15-minute range of New York midnight and then the low. After that, the price returns upward, breaks the high, and if there’s a candlestick confirmation during the pullback, a buy signal is generated.
bearish setup, the price first touches the low of the range, then the high. With the price returning downward and breaking the low, if there’s a candlestick confirmation during the pullback to the low, a sell signal is generated.
🔵 How to Use
To effectively implement the Judas Swing strategy (ICT Judas Swing) in trading, traders must first identify the price range of the 15-minute window following New York midnight. This range, consisting of highs and lows, sets the stage for the upcoming movements in the London and New York sessions.
🟣 Bullish Setup
For a bullish setup, the price first moves to touch the high of the range, then the low, before returning upward to break the high. Following this, a pullback occurs, and if a valid candlestick confirmation (such as a reversal pattern) is observed, a buy signal is generated. This confirmation could indicate the presence of smart money supporting the bullish movement.
🟣 Bearish Setup
For a bearish setup, the process is the reverse. The price first touches the low of the range, then the high. Afterward, the price moves downward again and breaks the low. A pullback follows to the broken low, and if a bearish candlestick confirmation is seen, a sell signal is generated. This confirmation signals the continuation of the downward price movement.
Using the Judas Swing strategy enables traders to avoid fake breakouts and focus on strong market confirmations. The strategy is versatile, applying to FOREX, stocks, and other financial instruments, offering optimal trading opportunities through market structure analysis and time frame synchronization.
To execute this strategy successfully, traders must combine it with effective risk management techniques such as setting appropriate stop losses and employing optimal risk-to-reward ratios. While the Judas Swing is a powerful tool for predicting price movements, traders should remember that no strategy is entirely risk-free. Proper capital management remains a critical element of long-term success.
By mastering the ICT Judas Swing strategy, traders can better identify entry and exit points and avoid common traps from fake market movements, ultimately improving their trading performance.

By leveraging key levels such as range highs and lows, fake breakouts, and candlestick confirmations, traders can enter trades with more precision. This strategy is applicable in forex, stocks, and other financial markets and, with proper risk management, can lead to consistent trading success.
Larry Williams Valuation Index [tradeviZion]Larry Williams Valuation Index
Welcome to the Larry Williams Valuation Index by tradeviZion! This script is an interpretation of Larry Williams' famous WillVal (Valuation) Index, originally developed in 1990 to help traders determine whether a market or asset is overvalued or undervalued. We've extended it to support multiple securities and offer alerts for different valuation levels, helping you make more informed trading decisions.
What is the Valuation Index?
The Valuation Index measures how a security's current price compares to its historical price action. It helps identify whether the security is overvalued (priced too high), undervalued (priced too low), or in a normal range.
This version supports multiple securities and uses valuation parameters to help you assess the relative valuation of three securities simultaneously. It can help you determine the best times to enter (buy) or exit (sell) the market.
Key Features
Multi-Security Analysis: Analyze up to three securities simultaneously to get a broader view of market conditions.
Valuation Levels: Automatically calculate overvaluation and undervaluation levels or set manual levels for consistent analysis.
Custom Alerts: Create custom alerts when securities move between overvalued, undervalued, or normal ranges.
Customizable Table Display: Display a table with valuation values and their status on the chart.
Getting Started
Step 1: Adding the Script to Your Chart
First, add the Larry Williams Valuation Index script to your chart on TradingView. The script is designed to work with any timeframe, but for best results, use weekly or daily timeframes for a longer-term perspective.
Step 2: Configuring Securities
The script allows you to analyze up to three different securities :
Security 1 (Default: DXY)
Security 2 (Default: GC1!)
Security 3 (Default: ZB1!)
You can enable or disable each security individually.
Custom Timeframe Option: You have the option to select a custom timeframe for analysis. This allows you to see whether the security is overvalued or undervalued in lower or higher timeframes. Note that this feature is experimental and has not been extensively tested. Larry Williams originally used the weekly timeframe to determine if a stock was overvalued or undervalued. By default, the indicator compares the current price with the security based on the selected timeframe, except if you choose to use a custom timeframe.
Pro Tip : New users can start with the default securities to understand the concept before using other assets.
Step 3: Valuation Index Settings
Short EMA Length : This is the short-term average used for calculations. A lower value makes it more responsive to recent price changes.
Long EMA Length : This is the long-term average, used to smooth the valuation over time.
Valuation Length (Default: 156) : Represents approximately three years of daily bars (as recommended by Larry Williams).
How is the Valuation Index Calculated?
The valuation calculation is done using a method called WVI (WillVal Index), which compares the current price of a security to the price of another correlated security. Here’s a step-by-step explanation:
1. Data Collection: The script takes the closing price of the security you are analyzing and the closing price of the correlated security.
2. Ratio Calculation : The ratio of the two prices is calculated:
Price Ratio = (Price of your security) / (Price of correlated security) * 100.
This ratio helps determine how expensive or cheap your security is compared to the correlated one.
3. Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) : The price ratio is used to calculate short-term and long-term EMAs (Exponential Moving Averages). EMAs are used to create smooth lines that represent the average price of a security over a specific period of time, with more weight given to recent data. By calculating both short-term and long-term EMAs, we can identify the trend direction and how the security is performing compared to its historical averages.
4. Valuation Index Calculation:
The Valuation Index is calculated as the difference between the short-term EMA and the long-term EMA. This difference helps to determine if the security is currently overvalued or undervalued:
A positive value indicates that the price is above its longer-term trend, suggesting potential overvaluation.
A negative value indicates that the price is below its longer-term trend, suggesting potential undervaluation.
5. Normalization:
To make the valuation easier to interpret, the calculated valuation index is then normalized using the highest and lowest values over the selected valuation length (e.g., 156 bars).
This normalization process converts the index into a percentage between 0 and 100, where higher values indicate overvaluation and lower values indicate undervaluation.
Step 4: Understanding Valuation Levels
The valuation levels indicate whether a security is currently undervalued, overvalued, or in a normal range.
Manual Levels : You can manually set the overvaluation and undervaluation thresholds (default is 85 for overvalued and 15 for undervalued).
Auto Levels : The script can automatically calculate these levels based on recent price action, allowing you to adapt to changing market conditions.
Auto Levels Calculation Explained:
The Auto Levels are calculated by taking the average of the valuation indices for all three securities (e.g., index1, index2, and index3).
The script then looks at the highest and lowest values of this average over a selected number of recent bars (e.g., 50 bars).
The overvaluation level is determined by taking the highest value and multiplying it by a multiplier (e.g., 5). Similarly, the undervaluation level is calculated using the lowest value and the multiplier.
These dynamic levels adjust according to recent price action, providing an adaptive approach to identifying overvalued and undervalued conditions.
Step 5: How to Use the Script to Make Trading Decisions
For new users, here's a step-by-step trading strategy you can use with the Valuation Index:
1. Identify Undervalued Opportunities
When two or more securities are in the undervalued range (below 15 for manual or below automatically calculated undervalue levels), wait for at least two of these securities to turn from undervalued to normal .
This transition indicates a potential buy opportunity .
2. Buying Signal
When at least two securities transition from undervalued to normal, you can consider buying the asset.
This indicates that the market may be recovering from undervalued conditions and could be moving into a growth phase.
3. Selling Signal
Exit when the price high closes below the EMA 21 (21-day exponential moving average).
Alternatively, if the valuation index reaches overvalued levels (above 85 manually or auto-calculated), wait for it to drop back to normal . This can be another point to exit the trade .
You can also use any other sell condition based on your r isk management strategy .
Alerts for Valuation Levels
The script includes alerts to notify you of changing market conditions:
To activate these alerts, follow these steps, referring to the provided screenshot with detailed steps:
1. Enable Alerts : Click on the settings gear icon on the script title in your chart. In the settings menu, scroll to the section labeled Alerts Settings .
Enable Alerts by checking the Enable Alerts box.

Choose the Alert Frequency : Selecting Once Per Bar Close will trigger alerts only at the close of each bar, ensuring you receive confirmed signals rather than potentially noisy intermediate signals.
2. Select Alert Type : Choose the type of alert you want to activate, such as Alert on Overvalued, Alert on Undervalued, Alert on Over to Normal , or Alert on Under to Normal .
3. Save Settings : Click OK to save your alert settings.
4. Add Alert on Indicator : Click the "..." (More button) next to the indicator name on the chart and select " Add alert on tradeviZion - WillVal ".
5. Create Alert : In the Create Alert window:
