Previous Days High & Low With AlertsAlerts: The updated script includes alerts for when the current price touches either the previous day's high (PDH) or low (PDL). This allows traders to receive notifications when these levels are breached.
Observing PDH/PDL: The script will display a single horizontal line representing both the Previous Day High (PDH) and Previous Day Low (PDL) from yesterday on the chart.
Alert Notifications: If you enabled alerts (by setting the "Enable Alerts" input to "true"), the script will trigger alerts when the current price action touches either the PDH or PDL.

Model Indicator |ASE|The purpose of this indicator is to allow the user to build their own model. Each feature works cohesively together and depending on the filters you enable, the model gives less and more specific entries. This benefits the trader because they have complete control over the kinds of trades they want to take, while maintaining its automatic form.
We want to be as customizable as possible while still meeting our users’ needs. We started this indicator to propel us into our ultimate project, the ASE Algo.

Benefits & Examples:
In the image below the indicator signaled multiple entries based on two simple confluence filters, a MS reversal (CHoCH/MSS) and a Liquidity Raid. Going from left to right we can see a short entry at the highs with a supporting Order Block. Liquidity levels are taken before we see a double IDM right below the respected OB that leads to the next signaled entry. In the middle of the chart we see a long entry that leads right into a short entry showing the effectiveness of such a simple model.
In this supporting image we are showcasing the first implementation of the Trade Overlay feature. This feature displays the Entry and Stop Loss to make it more visible and adds a risk to reward target. Additionally displayed is the SMC Toolkit indicator showing us additional confirmation with our signaled entries playing right out of a higher timeframe FVG.
An additional entry feature is the MTF zone. Setups can form on all timeframes and subjecting yourself to only one may lead you to miss out on some perfect setups or a larger move. In the image below we are on the 1 minute timeframe. We can see the Initial Reversal Entry which played out beautifully and filled a higher timeframe SFVG. With the MTF zone we can see a 3 minute and 5 minute Zone which produces the rest of the trend reaching another higher timeframe SFVG after filling the previous one. Once again showing the benefit of the Toolkit indicator but the plotted entries from such a simple model.
In addition to the model indicators filtered out entry zone, we can use additional confluences to confirm these entries. In the image below we can see a short entry printed after a move out of the Std. Dev. vwap wave which shows over extension. Taking the entry we can have a tight stop loss at the vwap wave or the recent high where we have a liquidity level, targeting a lower liquidity level or higher timeframe FVG.
For this example we are only filtering based on MS Reversals (CHoCH/MSS) to get our entries. Because of this we need additional confirmation to be confident in taking the plotted entry. In the image below you can see a long signal printed, confirmation being the previous Failed Reversal.
mrD-Smart RangesmrD-Smart Ranges aims to offer a complete strategy based on Order Blocks. Ranges signals based on order volume are highlighted, from which smart ranges are suggested to provide potential entries.
This script also includes warnings for each signal marked.
🔶 SETTINGS
Pair Strategy: Select the desired from the list. Change the chart to the one specified in the Strategy.
Current TF Order Blocks: Allows the user to select how many most recent Internal Order Blocks appear in the current time frame on the chart.
Order Block Filter: Allows the user to select how the script mitigates an Order Block.
Hide Overlap: Allows the user to display overlapping Order Blocks.
Show Metrics: Allows the user to display volume % metrics within the Order Blocks.
Show Volume Box: Allows the user to display buy/sell activity within Order Blocks.
High Timeframe: Allows the user to choose a higher or lower timeframe to find the Signals.
Show Failed Buy Sell: Allows the user to display the Signals.
Show HTF Box: Allows the user to display a higher or lower timeframe Order Blocks.
🔶 DETAILS
Order blocks are formed after a slight bearish order block, these can provide an opportunity to change polarity, thus acting as a potential support/resistance level.
A retest/retrace on the order block, combined with order volume between the current timeframe and from the higher timeframe will establish the conditions for smart ranges are suggested to provide potential entries.
🔶 USAGE
mrD-Smart Ranges aims to provide users with a minimalistic screen next to the optimal ranges to keep in mind to find trading setups as shown below.
Here we can see a suggested Sell range and display a label to confirm this range
Signal(s) that can be used for potential entries only during range retest are order blocks.
Users can search for more potential entry ranges based on larger timeframes in the settings: High Timeframe
In the image above, we can see that the price has generated potential orange and bearish entry signals. A confirmation signal with a red label is displayed on the chart when the price retests the Sell range.
Note: While range retests can still work well if they occur later in price action, it's best to look for signals only when price retests the range at the outset rather than retesting it. second price.
The logic of generating signal ranges using different rules is described below:
- Define order blocks in the current timeframe.
- Define the order blocks with the largest volume in the current timeframe.
- Define order blocks in larger timeframes in High Timeframe settings
- Define order blocks with the largest volume in larger timeframes in High Timeframe settings
Entry Range: The combination of the highest volume order blocks in the current timeframe and the highest volume order blocks in the larger timeframe.

ICT NWOG/NDOG & EHPDA [LuxAlgo]This indicator displays New Week/Day Opening Gaps alongside Event Horizon PD Arrays which were conceptualized by a trader, ICT.
🔶 SETTINGS
Show: Determines if new week opening gaps (NWOG) or new day opening gaps (NDOG) are shown.
Amount: Controls the amount of most recent NWOGs/NDOGs to display on the chart.
Show EHPDA: Displays Event Horizons PD arrays.
🔶 USAGE
New Week/Day Opening Gaps are generally used as potential support or resistance areas.
Trader ICT describes that under consolidating market conditions, price tends to revert towards the opening gap area. This is consistent with other analysis suggesting that price has a tendency to come back toward gaps, ultimately looking to fill them.
ICT also introduces a novel concept, the "Event Horizon PD Array" (EHPDA) which are intermediary levels constructed from the average between the neighboring NWOGs or NDOGs.
EHPDA's are described by ICT as levels that "will not allow price to escape to the NWOG that will create a surge towards the NWOG it got too "close" to but has not yet reached."
Smart Money Concepts Probability (Expo)█ Overview
The Smart Money Concept Probability (Expo) is an indicator developed to track the actions of institutional investors, commonly known as "smart money." This tool calculates the likelihood of smart money being actively engaged in buying or selling within the market, referred to as the "smart money order flow."
The indicator measures the probability of three key events: Change of Character ( CHoCH ), Shift in Market Structure ( SMS ), and Break of Structure ( BMS ). These probabilities are displayed as percentages alongside their respective levels, providing a straightforward and immediate understanding of the likelihood of smart money order flow.
Finally, the backtested results are shown in a table, which gives traders an understanding of the historical performance of the current order flow direction.
█ Calculations
The algorithm individually computes the likelihood of the events ( CHoCH , SMS , and BMS ). A positive score is assigned for events where the price successfully breaks through the level with the highest probability, and a negative score when the price fails to do so. By doing so, the algorithm determines the probability of each event occurring and calculates the total profitability derived from all the events.
█ Example
In this case, we have an 85% probability that the price will break above the upper range and make a new Break Of Structure and only a 16.36% probability that the price will break below the lower range and make a Change Of Character.
█ Settings
The Structure Period sets the pivot period to use when calculating the market structure.
The Structure Response sets how responsive the market structure should be. A low value returns a more responsive structure. A high value returns a less responsive structure.
█ How to use
This indicator is a perfect tool for anyone that wants to understand the probability of a Change of Character ( CHoCH ), Shift in Market Structure ( SMS ), and Break of Structure ( BMS )
The insights provided by this tool help traders gain an understanding of the smart money order flow direction, which can be used to determine the market trend.
█ Any Alert function call
An alert is sent when the price breaks the upper or lower range, and you can select what should be included in the alert. You can enable the following options:
Ticker ID
Timeframe
Probability percentage

Order Blocks GenieThe purpose of this Genie Algorithm Indicator is to identify Zones of institutional interest , including Order Blocks , while marking the Full Range Zones as well, with powerful smart tracking algorithm to mark and remove the appropriate levels to take for entries.
Order Blocks can be observed at the beginning of a strong, aggressive move, leaving behind a zone to be revisited later for "balance" the market. Therefore, these are interesting levels to place Limit/Market orders (Sell the Peaks or Buy the Valleys).
A Bullish Order Block is the last Bearish candle of a downtrend before a sequence of Bullish candles (thus forming a "Valley"). While a Bearish Order Block is the last Bullish candle of an uptrend before a sequence of Bearish candles (thus forming a "Peak").
Prices of the levels could be printed on the Price Scale, as well as many detailed configurations of what activates these Peak/Valleys (Zones) such as a Breakout, Close, Hard Close or Full Close. See the Tooltips in the Settings for all details of each option.
The strategy is to take the Untested Levels as long as the chart is maintaining the trend (ladder), preferably going with the trend for a higher win rate (or against it for a quick scalp). Be mindful of the breaking of a ladder or building of a new one. A ladder breaks with a hard close of a candle across the closest two levels; a ladder builds by not breaking back down across the levels it has tested. Strong ladders will have a few untested levels and come back to wick them but still retain the structure of the laddering direction (trending with Lower Lows + Lower High or Higher Lows + Higher Highs).
------------
Definitions:
1st Zone: The zone between the start of the initial candle of the Full Range (backside edge) to the 50% of Full Range Line (Average, aka. Equilibrium).
2nd Zone: The zone between 50% of Full Range Line (Average, aka. Equilibrium) to the 50% of Order Block (final candle left behind in the range before the aggressive move out).
Full Zone: 1st + 2nd Zones together.
Line: placed first at 50% of Full Range, and in specific cases gets moved to the 50% of Order Block.
Rules (in order):
- Wick Line: Mark Line Tested (light color)
- Close Beyond the Zone: Invalidate Full Zone (Remove Full Zone + Remove Line)
- Hard Close anywhere inside the Zone: Invalidate Full Zone (Remove Full Zone + Remove Line)
- Close inside 2nd Zone: Invalidate Full Zone (Remove Full Zone + Remove Line)
- Close inside 1st Zone: Shrink 1st Zone + Keep 2nd Zone + Move Line to 50% of Order Block
- Wick inside (or beyond) 2nd Zone before shrinking: Shrink 1st Zone + Keep 2nd Zone + Move Line to 50% of Order Block
Trade Entry Check list - Smart Money ConceptThe indicator you see is written to evaluate the input parameters for a trade. Since my own style is smart money, and I always used to write on paper or mentally calculate the necessary inputs for a trade, I wrote this indicator to prevent mental or paper calculations.
This indicator is made up of different sections that you can see in the table and make the necessary changes in the Options section.
The first section is your instrument, which is automatically displayed on every chart.
The next section is the current market, which is written based on smart money and divided into Asia Time, Frankfurt Time, London Time, Lunch Time, and New York Time sections. Depending on our style, we usually do not trade during the Frankfurt Time and Lunch Time sections.
The next section is about the ascending or descending structure of the 4-hour and 15-minute timeframes, which of course, you can change this structure to your desired one.
These two sections have both manual and automatic modes. I went through a lot of trouble for the automatic section, so don't easily skip it and be sure to test it.
The following sections relate to other reasons for entering a trade, which are divided into several sections. The first section is the entry reasons related to my personal strategy, which is completely defined and shows the input calculation in the Calculation section. The second section is your inputs without calculation in the Counter section, and the third section is your personal inputs including the Counter. You have deep access to customizing this table.
FXC Order Block Finder █ OVERVIEW
The FXC Order Bock Finder finds and draws institutional order blocks according to the Smart Money Concept. Order blocks are zones where institutions have most likely left some orders that need to be filled at a later point in time. In These order blocks or POIs can be used to either place limit orders or to look for instant entries as price comes to retest the zone. It works on all time frames but higher time frames tend to be more precise.
█ HOW DOES IT WORK?
The indicator waits for a break of structure (BOS) and then prints a zone if there's an engulfing pattern and an open imbalance. Basically it draws zones where a fake move followed by aggressive buying or selling happened and Imbalances were left open.
█ WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE?
Apart from the fact that I haven’t found any indicator that is able to properly draw order blocks most indicators do re-paint which doesn’t make any sense in the case of the Smart Money Concept.
Furthermore does this indicator have settings that let’s you adjust how the order blocks are drawn. From wick to end of the imbalance or candle close to imbalance. Also you can set how many candles it takes into consideration for the imbalance in case the imbalance starts after the engulfing pattern has formed. And you can set how many candles have to checked to determine a BOS or an internal BOS by using fractal breaks.
█ HOW TO USE IT?
Either place sell limits at the lower end of the order block with SL slightly above the OB and buy limits at the upper end of the OB with SL slightly below the OB. Target a fixed Risk Reward Ratio or trade it to the next order block. By using multi time frame analysis you can determine the overall direction of the market and prevent low probability trades. Also worth mentioning is that order blocks that have been created during high volume sessions tend to result in way better trades than with order blocks that have been printed during the Asia session.
█ ADDITIONAL INFO
As soon as price retested an order block the order block is mitigated and therefore not valid anymore. Also order blocks that are too far back in time are less probable to deliver good trades. In general the win rate tends not to be too high using this method but more often than not there's a reaction as price taps into an order block and trades with high RRR are quite often. As always in trading, proper money management and risk management is key.
█ DISCLAIMER
This is not financial advice. The Indicator spots these zones according to the smart money concept . However there's absolutely no guarantee that a nice order blocks results in a good trade.
█ Examples
SMC RulesThis script allowes you to have a plan always shown on the chart.
You know how it is, sometimes you miss things and if you dont see your plan then you miss maybe an important part... so for this i wrote that simple script here.
So far it has 5 Sections you can edit in the settings to your liking.
On top you can also edit the swing structure you are seeing, so you dont have to always swap timeframes.
Also implemented are the Session times for Frankfurt, London, New York and Asia.
Its not enabled on default, but i find it quiet handy to have..
(including alerts)
I will update it from time to time, if you wish for something just let me know.
Institutional FVG & Liquidity Range Candle (Expo)█ Institutional FVG with predicted SR levels & Liquidity Range Candle is an indicator that uses Smart Money Concepts to give you the insights needed to make informed decisions based on the theory in SMC. This premium toolkit work in any market and timeframe.
█ Institutional Fair Value Gap , also known as imbalance, inefficiencies, and Liquidity void, identifies the most significant FVG within the lookback period. This is often referred to as Institutional Fair Value Gap since only big players can cause these liquidity voids.
Fair Value Gap, Liquidity voids are sudden price changes without enough liquidity at a stable price, and the price jumps from the originating price level to the final price level, creating an imbalance in price.
The price tends to fill or retest the FVG area, and traders understand at which price level institutional players have been active. FVG is a valuable concept in trading, as they provide insights about where many orders were injected, creating this inefficiency in the market. The price tends to restore the balance.
This indicator highlights the most significant Fair Value Gap on the chart and plots predicted future support and resistance levels based on the price action created at the FVG. A super simple and yet effective way to get solid market levels that acts as a magnet for the price.
█ Liquidity Range Candle is another trading concept used by large market players where they manipulate the price to stay inside a specific market area, creating a tight consolidation zone. Once the price breaks the liquidity range, liquidity flows into the market. It's an easy way to grab liquidity from retail traders. Stop losses are triggers, breakout traders jump into the market, and institutional traders absorb the liquidity.
If you don't see the liquidity, you become the liquidity!
A break of a liquidity range is a sign of a breakout, potential continuation, retracement, or reversal. Use it together with an overall market analysis. It's common that traders also mark the previous 1-3 liquidity ranges and plot them into the future. These zones can act as a future magnet for the price, and we can get a retest of the zones, or if we break above/below a previous range can be a sign of a trend change. We also know that these liquidity ranges have been important levels for institutional players, who may be willing to accumulate or distribute more orders at these levels.
█ HOW TO USE
Use the indicator to identify several important and commonly used trading concepts taught within the SMC.
Find Significant FVG
Find Significant liquidity ranges

Sonarlab - Smart Money ConceptsSupply and Demand is one of the core strategies used in trading. It focuses on the ancient laws of supply and demand and how price moves in a free-flowing market. Supply and demand zones are a popular analysis technique used in all kinds of trading styles. The zones are the periods of sideways price action that come before explosive price moves, and are typically marked out using a box. We wanted to make these squares drawn automatically for you - so it will save you time spotting the zones.
Green Box
The green box defines demand - in these areas you will look for long opportunities. You can also use these zones for take profit levels when you are in a sell trade.
Blue Box
The blue box defines supply - in these areas you will look for short opportunities. You can also use these zones for take profit levels when you are in a buy trade.
Break of structure
For markets to move up and down a break in market structure must occur. A break in market structure occurs when the market begins to shift direction and break the previous HH and HL or HL and LL of the market. We also integrated the feature that you can see the BOS lines. In the indicator settings you can adjust the values:
1) Sensitivity
2) Min. candles in structure
3) BOS type: close or wick
Warning Never blindly take a position on each box - wait for a proper signal to occur before considering a position.
AMD-ImbalanceThis script looks at three consecutive candles and if there is an area between the wicks of the first and third candle, it will paint a box to mark the area.
The marked area is considered an imbalance or inefficiency in the market. Price usually finds its way back to that area of imbalance to clear it.
As price clears part of the area of imbalance, the box turns from a solid border to a dashed border.
