Volume Bubbles & Liquidity Heatmap [LuxAlgo]The Volume Bubbles & Liquidity Heatmap indicator highlights volume and liquidity clearly and precisely with its volume bubbles and liquidity heat map, allowing to identify key price areas.
Customize the bubbles with different time frames and different display modes: total volume, buy and sell volume, or delta volume.
🔶 USAGE
The primary objective of this tool is to offer traders a straightforward method for analyzing volume on any selected timeframe.
By default, the tool displays buy and sell volume bubbles for the daily timeframe over the last 2,000 bars. Traders should be aware of the difference between the timeframe of the chart and that of the bubbles.
The tool also displays a liquidity heat map to help traders identify price areas where liquidity accumulates or is lacking.
🔹 Volume Bubbles
The bubbles have three possible display modes:
Total Volume: Displays the total volume of trades per bubble.
Buy & Sell Volume: Each bubble is divided into buy and sell volume.
Delta Volume: Displays the difference between buy and sell volume.
Each bubble represents the trading volume for a given period. By default, the timeframe for each bubble is set to daily, meaning each bubble represents the trading volume for each day.
The size of each bubble is proportional to the volume traded; a larger bubble indicates greater volume, while a smaller bubble indicates lower volume.
The color of each bubble indicates the dominant volume: green for buy volume and red for sell volume.
One of the tool's main goals is to facilitate simple, clear, multi-timeframe volume analysis.
The previous chart shows Delta Volume bubbles with various chart and bubble timeframe configurations.
To correctly visualize the bubbles, traders must ensure there is a sufficient number of bars per bubble. This is achieved by using a lower chart timeframe and a higher bubble timeframe.
As can be seen in the image above, the greater the difference between the chart and bubble timeframes, the better the visualization.
🔹 Liquidity Heatmap
The other main element of the tool is the liquidity heatmap. By default, it divides the chart into 25 different price areas and displays the accumulated trading volume on each.
The image above shows a 4-hour BTC chart displaying only the liquidity heatmap. Traders should be aware of these key price areas and observe how the price behaves in them, looking for possible opportunities to engage with the market.
The main parameters for controlling the heatmap on the settings panel are Rows and Cell Minimum Size. Rows modifies the number of horizontal price areas displayed, while Cell Minimum Size modifies the minimum size of each liquidity cell in each row.
As can be seen in the above BTC hourly chart, the cell size is 24 at the top and 168 at the bottom. The cells are smaller on top and bigger on the bottom.
The color of each cell reflects the liquidity size with a gradient; this reflects the total volume traded within each cell. The default colors are:
Red: larger liquidity
Yellow: medium liquidity
Blue: lower liquidity
🔹 Using Both Tools Together
This indicator provides the means to identify directional bias and market timing.
The main idea is that if buyers are strong, prices are likely to increase, and if sellers are strong, prices are likely to decrease. This gives us a directional bias for opening long or short positions. Then, we combine our directional bias with price rejection or acceptance of key liquidity levels to determine the timing of opening or closing our positions.
Now, let's review some charts.
This first chart is BTC 1H with Delta Weekly Bubbles. Delta Bubbles measure the difference between buy and sell volume, so we can easily see which group is dominant (buyers or sellers) and how strong they are in any given week. This, along with the key price areas displayed by the Liquidity Heatmap, can help us navigate the markets.
We divided market behavior into seven groups, and each group has several bubbles, numbered from 1 to 17.
Bubbles 1, 2, and 3: After strong buyers market consolidates with positive delta, prices move up next week.
Bubbles 3, 4, and 5: Strength changes from buyers to sellers. Next week, prices go down.
Bubbles 6 and 7: The market trades at higher prices, but with negative delta. Next week, prices go down.
Bubbles 7, 8, and 9: Strength changes from sellers to buyers. Next weeks (9 and 10), prices go up.
Bubbles 10, 11, and 12: After strong buyers prices trade higher with a negative delta. Next weeks (12 and 13) prices go down.
Bubbles 12, 14, and 15: Strength changes from sellers to buyers; next week, prices increase.
Bubbles 15 and 16: The market trades higher with a very small positive delta; next week, prices go down.
Current bubble/week 17 is not yet finished. Right now, it is trading lower, but with a smaller negative delta than last week. This may signal that sellers are losing strength and that a potential reversal will follow, with prices trading higher.
This is the same BTC 1H chart, but with price rejections from key liquidity areas acting as strong price barriers.
When prices reach a key area with strong liquidity and are rejected, it signals a good time to take action.
By observing price behavior at certain key price levels, we can improve our timing for entering or exiting the markets.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Bubbles Display
From the settings panel, traders can configure the bubbles with four main parameters: Mode, Timeframe, Size%, and Shape.
The image above shows five-minute BTC charts with execution over the last 3,500 bars, different display modes, a daily timeframe, 100% size, and shape one.
The Size % parameter controls the overall size of the bubbles, while the Shape parameter controls their vertical growth.
Since the chart has two scales, one for time and one for price, traders can use the Shape parameter to make the bubbles round.
The chart above shows the same bubbles with different size and shape parameters.
You can also customize data labels and timeframe separators from the settings panel.

Tape Speed Pulse (Pace + Direction) [v6 + Climax]Tape Speed Pulse (Pace + Direction)
One-liner:
A lightweight “tape pulse” that turns intraday bursts of buying/selling into an easy-to-read histogram, with surge, slowdown, and climax (exhaustion) markers for fast decision-making. Use on sec and min charts.
What it measures
Pace (RVOL): current bar volume vs the recent average (smoothed).
Direction proxy: uptick/downtick by comparing close to close .
Pulse (histogram): direction × pace, so you see who’s pushing and how fast.
Colors
- Lime = Buy surge (pace ≥ threshold & upticking)
- Red = Sell surge (pace ≥ threshold & downticking)
- Teal = Buy pressure, sub-threshold
- Orange = Sell pressure, sub-threshold
- Faded/gray = Near-neutral pace (below the Neutral Band)
Lines (toggleable)
-White = Pace (RVOL)
- Yellow = Slowdown line = a drop of X% from the last 30-bar peak pace
Background tint mirrors the current state so you can glance risk: greenish for buy pressure, reddish for sell pressure.
Signals & alerts
- BUY surge – fires when pace crosses above the surge threshold with uptick direction (optional acceleration & uptick streak filters; cooldown prevents spam).
- SELL surge – mirror logic to downside.
- Slowdown – fires when pace crosses below the yellow slowdown line while direction ≤ 0 (early fade warning).
Climax (exhaustion)
- Buy Climax: previous bar was a buy surge with a large upper wick; current bar slows (below slowdown line) and direction ≤ 0.
- Sell Climax: mirror (large lower wick → slowdown → direction ≥ 0).
- Great for trimming/tight stops or fade setups at obvious spikes.
- Create alerts via Add alert → Condition: this indicator → choose the specific alert (BUY surge, SELL surge, Slowdown, Buy Climax, Sell Climax).
How to use it (playbook)
- Longs (e.g., VWAP reclaim / micro pullback)
- Only take entries when the pulse is teal→lime (buy pressure to buy surge).
- Into prior highs/VWAP bands, take partials on lime spikes.
- If you get a Slowdown dot and bars turn orange/red, tighten or exit.
Shorts (failed reclaim / lower-high)
- Look for teal→orange→red with rising pace at a level.
- Add confidence if a Buy Climax printed right before (exhaustion).
- Risk above the spike; don’t fight true ignitions out of bases.
Simple guardrails
- Avoid new longs when the histogram is orange/red; avoid new shorts when teal/lime.
- Use with VWAP + 9/20 EMA or your levels. The pulse is confirmation, not the whole thesis.
Inputs (what they do & when to tweak)
- Pace lookback (bars) – window for average volume. Lower = faster; higher = steadier.
Too jumpy? raise it. Missing quick bursts? lower it.
- Smoothing EMA (bars) – smooths pace. Higher = calmer.
Use 4–6 during the open; 3–4 midday.
- Surge threshold (× RVOL) – how fast counts as a surge.
Too many surges? raise it. Too late? lower it slightly.
- Slowdown drop from 30-bar max (%) – how far below the recent peak pace to call a slowdown.
Higher % = later slowdown; lower % = earlier warning.
- Neutral band (× RVOL) – paces below this fade to gray.
Raise to clean up noise; lower to see subtle pressure.
- Min seconds between signals – cooldown to prevent spam.
Increase in chop; reduce if you want more pings.
- BUY/SELL: min consecutive upticks/downticks – tiny streak filter.
Raise to avoid wiggles; lower for earlier signals.
Require pace accelerating into signal – ON = avoid stall breakouts; OFF = earlier pings.
Climax options: wick % threshold & “require slowdown cross”.
Raise wick% / require cross to be stricter; lower to catch more fades.
Quick presets
- Low-float runner, 5–10s chart
- Lookback 20, Smoothing 3–4, Surge 2.2–2.8, Slowdown 35–45, Neutral 1.0–1.2, Cooldown 15–25s, Streaks 2–3, Accel ON.
- Thick large-cap, 1-min
- Lookback 20–30, Smoothing 5–7, Surge 1.5–1.9, Slowdown 25–35, Neutral 0.8–1.0, Cooldown 30–60s, Streaks 2, Accel ON.
- Open vs Midday vs Power Hour
- Open: higher Surge, more Smoothing, longer Cooldown.
- Midday: lower Surge, less Smoothing to catch subtler pushes.
- Power hour: moderate Surge; keep Slowdown on for exits.
Reading common patterns
- Ignition (likely continuation): lime spike out of a base that holds above a level while pace stays above yellow.
- Exhaustion (likely fade): lime spike late in a run with upper wick → Slowdown → orange/red. The Buy Climax diamond is your tell.
Limits / notes
This is an OHLCV-based proxy (TradingView Pine can’t read raw tape/DOM). It won’t match Bookmap/Jigsaw tick-for-tick, but it’s fast and objective.

Volume Pressure Arrows[Blk0ut]Volume Pressure Arrows are an innovative (I think) market pressure tool designed to cut through noise and provide traders with a realistic, but quick insight into buying vs selling pressure and which has real control. Rather than relying on any single classic indicator, this script blends five complementary measures of price–volume dynamics—Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD), VWAP distance, OBV slope, ATR expansion, and the DMI ratio—into a unified “pressure score.”
Each component is normalized, weighted, and combined into a single metric that can be read at a glance through intuitive up and down arrows plotted directly on the chart. By transforming multiple complex data streams into a single aggregated signal, Volume Pressure Arrows help traders answer some of the hardest questions we can face: is the current move backed by conviction? is there true momentum? Is price action about to reverse?
Why It’s Different
Traditional oscillators often create conflicting signals, forcing traders to guess which one to trust. This indicator integrates five perspectives on volume and momentum pressure into a single framework, balancing raw flow (CVD), relative positioning (VWAP), trend conviction (OBV slope), volatility expansion (ATR), and directional bias (DMI). The result is a weighted, probability-minded score capped between -100 and +100 for consistency and clarity.
Important note : Inspiration for the use of directly plotted arrows came from dgtrd "https://www.tradingview.com/u/dgtrd/" and their brilliant work on LazyBear's Squeeze Indicator "https://www.tradingview.com/script/Dsr7B2xE-Squeeze-Momentum-Indicator-LazyBear-vX-by-DGT/"
How to Read It
Bullish Arrows appear below the candles when the pressure score pushes above the neutral threshold, signaling meaningful buyer dominance.
Bearish Arrows appear above the candles when pressure drops below the negative threshold, indicating strong selling pressure.
Neutral Arrows (smaller, faded) mark conditions where pressure exists but is not decisive—useful for spotting early rotations or fading momentum.
Color Gradients dynamically adjust with score intensity, making stronger signals visually brighter and weaker ones softer.
How to Use It Effectively
This tool is best applied as a confirmation and timing layer. It is not meant to replace your core strategy, but to validate whether momentum pressure supports your trade thesis.
Combine with trendlines, chart patterns, or breakouts to gauge conviction.
Use bullish or bearish arrows as filters, only take trades when price action aligns with strong directional pressure.
Watch neutral arrows near key levels; they often foreshadow balance breaking into directional moves.
Adjust the weightings to emphasize the components that matter most to your style (e.g., more weight on CVD for scalpers, or ATR expansion for volatility traders).
As with any indicator, this is not a magic ball and does not guarantee success. But it does allow you to increase the probability odds to your favor if you align it with your edge. Happy trading!

Phantom Trend IndicatorOverview
The Phantom Trend Indicator (PTI) is a streamlined tool for identifying trend direction and strength. It blends zigzag-based trend detection with a volume profile to display a histogram showing price distance from the Point of Control (POC). Six distinct colors highlight trend states, with background highlights for extreme price zones. Ideal for stocks, forex, crypto, and futures across any timeframe.
Features:
Trend Detection: Uses zigzag fractals to identify uptrends and downtrends.
Histogram Colors: Six colors for trend strength (low, high, extreme for up/down trends) or neutral (gray).
Dynamic Levels: Plots POC, Value Area Low (VAL), and High (VAH) via volume profile.
Background Colors: Highlights overbought (above VAH) or oversold (below VAL) zones.
Alerts: Signals new trends.
How It Works:
Trends: Zigzag fractals define trend ranges, with price position setting histogram colors (low, high, or extreme).
Histogram: Shows price deviation from POC.
Background: Colors extreme zones outside VAL/VAH.
This indicator builds on traditional trend detectors and volume profiles by integrating them into a single, cohesive tool. Unlike standard momentum indicators that rely on moving averages, PTI uses zigzag fractals for more responsive trend identification, reducing lag in volatile markets. Compared to basic volume profile scripts, it adds trend-based color coding and background alerts for extremes, providing clearer visual cues for overbought/oversold conditions. The six distinct colors indicate trend strength, and customizable thresholds allow fine-tuning for different assets and timeframes, enhancing adaptability. Traders benefit from combined momentum and liquidity insights, helping spot reversals or continuations more reliably—making PTI a valuable, standalone addition for both novice and experienced users.
Settings
Trend Detector: Toggle alerts, adjust zigzag sensitivity, and set thresholds for low-to-high and extreme color transitions.
Dynamic Levels: Configure volume profile period, multiplier, accuracy, value area percent, and ATR-based channel width.
Visuals: Customize POC, VAL, VAH, and area fill colors.
Read Histogram: Uptrend colors show early, strong, or overextended moves; downtrend colors indicate early, weakening, or oversold conditions; gray for consolidation.
Background: Monitor for overbought/oversold color-coded signals.
Tune: Adjust zigzag or period settings for your timeframe/asset.
Tips
Shorten period for intraday, extend for swing trading.
Pair with other indicators for confirmation.
Notes:
Requires sufficient chart data for volume profile.
Test settings for low-volatility assets.

VSA Volume MonitorDescription
This script provides a clear and adaptable visual representation of volume activity, helping traders understand how current participation compares to recent norms.
It calculates a moving average of volume over a user-defined smoothing window and uses that baseline to classify each bar’s volume into several intensity levels.
Bars are color-coded to reflect these levels:
• Blue for below-average activity
• Green for moderate activity
• Yellow for above-average surges
• Red for exceptionally high or climactic volume
In addition to color-coded bars, the script plots two reference bands that represent the typical (baseline) and elevated (climactic) volume zones.
These bands form a shaded cloud that helps visually separate normal market participation from periods of unusual crowd activity or volatility.
The purpose of this indicator is purely visual and informational — it does not generate buy or sell signals, and it does not predict future price movement.
Instead, it gives traders an at-a-glance view of how market interest is shifting, so they can combine that context with their own analysis or strategy.
This tool is lightweight, easy to read, and designed for use alongside other forms of technical analysis, making it suitable for traders who want to build their own framework for understanding volume behavior.
SHACC by SupersonicFXThis indicator shows the body size of the original smoothed HA candles from jackvmk.
ORB Pro w/ Filters + Debug Overlay Update with Reason box fixThis indicator is designed to highlight high-probability reversal setups for intraday traders.
It focuses on the cleanest, most reliable candlestick reversal patterns and combines them with trend, VWAP/EMA confluence, and a time-based filter to reduce noise.
🛠️ How It Works
The script scans each bar for well-known reversal signals:
Doji Reversal – small body, long wicks showing indecision.
Hammer / Shooting Star – long wick ≥ 2× body, showing exhaustion.
Engulfing Reversal – full body engulf of the prior candle.
Additional filters include:
✅ VWAP/EMA Confluence (optional) – confirms reversals near key intraday levels.
✅ Time Window (default 9:30–10:30 NY) – avoids false signals later in the session.
✅ Trend Exhaustion Check – requires a short-term directional push before reversal.
✅ Signal Cooldown – limits to one clean signal per move.
When conditions align, the script plots:
🟢 “Bull Rev” label below the bar for bullish reversals.
🔴 “Bear Rev” label above the bar for bearish reversals.
⚙️ Recommended Settings
For the tightest, most reliable signals:
Doji Body % → 25–30
Hammer Wick Multiple → 2.0
Confluence Tolerance % → 0.2–0.3
Time Filter → ON (9:30–10:30 NY)
VWAP/EMA Filter → ON
Cooldown Bars → 10–15
These settings minimize false positives and focus on the strongest reversals.
📈 Use Case
This tool is best for:
Intraday traders (stocks, ETFs, futures, crypto).
Traders who use Opening Range Breakout (ORB) or similar systems but want a secondary tool for catching reversals.
Anyone looking to filter out weak reversal patterns and focus on textbook setups.

_____
🎯 ORB SET-UP DESCRIPTIONS:
🔧 Exact settings I’d recommend (to avoid that mess):
requireClose = true
requireRetest = true with retestPct = 0.2%
minRangePct = 0.3%, maxRangePct = 1.5%
volumeFilter = true, volumeLength = 20
trendFilter = true, emaLength = 20
cooldownBars = 6 (on 5m chart → 30 minutes)
🔑 ORB Range Settings
Default sweet spot: 0.2% – 0.3%
→ This usually balances enough signals with reduced false breakouts.
High volatility days (CPI, FOMC, big gaps): 0.3% – 0.5%
→ Prevents fake outs.
Low volatility days (tight overnight range, slow open): 0.15% – 0.2%
→ Keeps you from sitting on hands all day.
📌 Filters you already added help you avoid noise
EMA alignment
Volume confirmation
Optional stop/target logic
This means you don’t have to shrink the box to 0.1% — the filters will keep you in higher-probability trades
✅ Why You Might NOT See a Signal
Check box for reason signal to turn it off, updated coloring so that candles are more visable.
ORB Box Too Wide
If the opening range is large, price has to move much further to trigger a clean breakout.
Wide box = fewer signals (but higher quality).
No Clean Break + Hold
Script waits for a candle to break above/below ORB and close strong enough.
A wick poke doesn’t count.
VWAP / EMA Filter Not Aligned
If price breaks but VWAP/EMA trend filter disagrees → no signal.
Keeps you out of fake moves against the trend.
Confirmation Candle Missing (if enabled)
Even if price breaks, the script may want the next bar to confirm direction before signaling.
Cooldown / One-Signal-Per-Break Rule
Some filters prevent back-to-back spam signals.
Only the first clean setup is alerted.

Liquidity Pro Map [ChartPrime]⯁ OVERVIEW
Liquidity Pro Map is a market-structure tool that simulates liquidity distribution by splitting price history into buy-side and sell-side profiles. Using candle volume and the standard deviation of close, the indicator builds two mirrored volume maps on the right-hand side of the chart. It also extends liquidity levels backwards in time until they are crossed by price, allowing you to see which zones remain untouched and where liquidity is most likely resting. Cumulative skew lines and highlighted POC levels give additional clarity on imbalance between buyers and sellers.
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Dual Liquidity Profiles: The chart is divided into buy-side (green) and sell-side (red) liquidity profiles, letting you instantly compare both sides of order flow.
Level Extension Logic: Each liquidity level is extended back in time until price crosses it. If not crossed, it persists all the way to the indicator’s lookback period, marking zones that remain “untapped.”
Dynamic Binning with Standard Deviation: The indicator distributes candle volumes into bins using close-price deviation, creating a more realistic liquidity map than static price levels.
priceDeviation = ta.stdev(close, 25) * 2
priceReference = close > open ? low - priceDeviation : high + priceDeviation
Cumulative Volume Skew Lines: Polylines on the right-hand side show the aggregated buy and sell volume profiles, making it easy to spot imbalance.
POC Identification: Highest-volume levels on both sides are marked as POC (Point of Control) , providing key zones of interest.
Clear Color Coding: Gradient shading intensifies with volume concentration—dark teal/green for buy zones, dark pink/red for sell zones.
⯁ HOW IT WORKS (UNDER THE HOOD)
Volume Distribution: Each bar’s volume is assigned to a price bin based on its reference price (close ± standard deviation offset).
Buy vs. Sell Splitting: If bins above last close price, volume is allocated to sell-side liquidity; otherwise, it’s allocated to buy-side liquidity.
Level Extension: Boxes marking liquidity bins extend back until crossed by price. If uncrossed, they anchor all the way to the start of the lookback window.
Cumulative Polylines: As bins are stacked, cumulative buy and sell values form skew polylines plotted at the right edge.
POC Levels: The highest-volume bin on each side is highlighted with labels and arrows, marking where the heaviest liquidity is concentrated.
⯁ USAGE
Use buy/sell profiles to see where liquidity is likely resting. Green shelves suggest potential support zones; red shelves suggest resistance or sell liquidity pools.
Watch untouched extended levels —these often become magnets for price as liquidity is swept.
Track POC levels as primary liquidity targets, where reactions or fakeouts are most common.
Compare cumulative skew lines to judge which side dominates in volume. Heavy buy skew may indicate absorption of sell pressure, and vice versa.
Adjust lookback period to switch between intraday liquidity maps and larger swing-based profiles.
Use separator feature to hide bins borders for better visual clarity.
Use as a confluence tool with OBs, support/resistance, and liquidity sweep setups.
⯁ CONCLUSION
Liquidity Pro Map transforms candle volume into a structured simulation of where liquidity may rest across the chart. By dividing buy vs. sell profiles, extending untouched levels, and marking cumulative skew and POC, it equips traders with a clear visual map of potential liquidity pools. This allows for better anticipation of sweeps, reversals, and areas of high market activity.
Structural Liquidity Signals [BullByte]Structural Liquidity Signals (SFP, FVG, BOS, AVWAP)
Short description
Detects liquidity sweeps (SFPs) at pivots and PD/W levels, highlights the latest FVG, tracks AVWAP stretch, arms percentile extremes, and triggers after confirmed micro BOS.
Full description
What this tool does
Structural Liquidity Signals shows where price likely tapped liquidity (stop clusters), then waits for structure to actually change before it prints a trigger. It spots:
Liquidity sweeps (SFPs) at recent pivots and at prior day/week highs/lows.
The latest Fair Value Gap (FVG) that often “pulls” price or serves as a reaction zone.
How far price is stretched from two VWAP anchors (one from the latest impulse, one from today’s session), scaled by ATR so it adapts to volatility.
A “percentile” extreme of an internal score. At extremes the script “arms” a setup; it only triggers after a small break of structure (BOS) on a closed bar.
Originality and design rationale, why it’s not “just a mashup”
This is not a mashup for its own sake. It’s a purpose-built flow that links where liquidity is likely to rest with how structure actually changes:
- Liquidity location: We focus on areas where stops commonly cluster—recent pivots and prior day/week highs/lows—then detect sweeps (SFPs) when price wicks beyond and closes back inside.
- Displacement context: We track the last Fair Value Gap (FVG) to account for recent inefficiency that often acts as a magnet or reaction zone.
- Stretch measurement: We anchor VWAP to the latest N-bar impulse and to the Daily session, then normalize stretch by ATR to assess dislocation consistently across assets/timeframes.
- Composite exhaustion: We combine stretch, wick skew, and volume surprise, then bend the result with a tanh transform so extremes are bounded and comparable.
- Dynamic extremes and discipline: Rather than triggering on every sweep, we “arm” at statistical extremes via percent-rank and only fire after a confirmed micro Break of Structure (BOS). This separates “interesting” from “actionable.”
Key concepts
SFP (liquidity sweep): A candle briefly trades beyond a level (where stops sit) and closes back inside. We detect these at:
Pivots (recent swing highs/lows confirmed by “left/right” bars).
Prior Day/Week High/Low (PDH/PDL/PWH/PWL).
FVG (Fair Value Gap): A small 3‑bar gap (bar2 high vs bar1 low, or vice versa). The latest gap often acts like a magnet or reaction zone. We track the most recent Up/Down gap and whether price is inside it.
AVWAP stretch: Distance from an Anchored VWAP divided by ATR (volatility). We use:
Impulse AVWAP: resets on each new N‑bar high/low.
Daily AVWAP: resets each new session.
PR (Percentile Rank): Where the current internal score sits versus its own recent history (0..100). We arm shorts at high PR, longs at low PR.
Micro BOS: A small break of the recent high (for longs) or low (for shorts). This is the “go/no‑go” confirmation.
How the parts work together
Find likely liquidity grabs (SFPs) at pivots and PD/W levels.
Add context from the latest FVG and AVWAP stretch (how far price is from “fair”).
Build a bounded score (so different markets/timeframes are comparable) and compute its percentile (PR).
Arm at extremes (high PR → short candidate; low PR → long candidate).
Only print a trigger after a micro BOS, on a closed bar, with spacing/cooldown rules.
What you see on the chart (legend)
Lines:
Teal line = Impulse AVWAP (resets on new N‑bar extreme).
Aqua line = Daily AVWAP (resets each session).
PDH/PDL/PWH/PWL = prior day/week levels (toggle on/off).
Zones:
Greenish box = latest Up FVG; Reddish box = latest Down FVG.
The shading/border changes after price trades back through it.
SFP labels:
SFP‑P = SFP at Pivot (dotted line marks that pivot’s price).
SFP‑L = SFP at Level (at PDH/PDL/PWH/PWL).
Throttle: To reduce clutter, SFPs are rate‑limited per direction.
Triggers:
Triangle up = long trigger after BOS; triangle down = short trigger after BOS.
Optional badge shows direction and PR at the moment of trigger.
Optional Trigger Zone is an ATR‑sized box around the trigger bar’s close (for visualization only).
Background:
Light green/red shading = a long/short setup is “armed” (not a trigger).
Dashboard (Mini/Pro) — what each item means
PR: Percentile of the internal score (0..100). Near 0 = bullish extreme, near 100 = bearish extreme.
Gauge: Text bar that mirrors PR.
State: Idle, Armed Long (with a countdown), or Armed Short.
Cooldown: Bars remaining before a new setup can arm after a trigger.
Bars Since / Last Px: How long since last trigger and its price.
FVG: Whether price is in the latest Up/Down FVG.
Imp/Day VWAP Dist, PD Dist(ATR): Distance from those references in ATR units.
ATR% (Gate), Trend(HTF): Status of optional regime filters (volatility/trend).
How to use it (step‑by‑step)
Keep the Safety toggles ON (default): triggers/visuals on bar‑close, optional confirmed HTF for trend slope.
Choose timeframe:
Intraday (5m–1h) or Swing (1h–4h). On very fast/thin charts, enable Performance mode and raise spacing/cooldown.
Watch the dashboard:
When PR reaches an extreme and an SFP context is present, the background shades (armed).
Wait for the trigger triangle:
It prints only after a micro BOS on a closed bar and after spacing/cooldown checks.
Use the Trigger Zone box as a visual reference only:
This script never tells you to buy/sell. Apply your own plan for entry, stop, and sizing.
Example:
Bullish: Sweep under PDL (SFP‑L) and reclaim; PR in lower tail arms long; BOS up confirms → long trigger on bar close (ATR-sized trigger zone shown).
Bearish: Sweep above PDH/pivot (SFP‑L/P) and reject; PR in upper tail arms short; BOS down confirms → short trigger on bar close (ATR-sized trigger zone shown).
Settings guide (with “when to adjust”)
Safety & Stability (defaults ON)
Confirm triggers at bar close, Draw visuals at bar close: Keep ON for clean, stable prints.
Use confirmed HTF values: Applies to HTF trend slope only; keeps it from changing until the HTF bar closes.
Performance mode: Turn ON if your chart is busy or laggy.
Core & Context
ATR Length: Bigger = smoother distances; smaller = more reactive.
Impulse AVWAP Anchor: Larger = fewer resets; smaller = resets more often.
Show Daily AVWAP: ON if you want session context.
Use last FVG in logic: ON to include FVG context in arming/score.
Show PDH/PDL/PWH/PWL: ON to see prior day/week levels that often attract sweeps.
Liquidity & Microstructure
Pivot Left/Right: Higher values = stronger/rarer pivots.
Min Wick Ratio (0..1): Higher = only more pronounced SFP wicks qualify.
BOS length: Larger = stricter BOS; smaller = quicker confirmations.
Signal persistence: Keeps SFP context alive for a few bars to avoid flicker.
Signal Gating
Percent‑Rank Lookback: Larger = more stable extremes; smaller = more reactive extremes.
Arm thresholds (qHi/qLo): Move closer to 0.5 to see more arms; move toward 0/1 to see fewer arms.
TTL, Cooldown, Min bars and Min ATR distance: Space out triggers so you’re not reacting to minor noise.
Regime Filters (optional)
ATR percentile gate: Only allow triggers when volatility is at/above a set percentile.
HTF trend gate: Only allow longs when the HTF slope is up (and shorts when it’s down), above a minimum slope.
Visuals & UX
Only show “important” SFPs: Filters pivot SFPs by Volume Z and |Impulse stretch|.
Trigger badges/history and Max badge count: Control label clutter.
Compact labels: Toggle SFP‑P/L vs full names.
Dashboard mode and position; Dark theme.
Reading PR (the built‑in “oscillator”)
PR ~ 0–10: Potential bullish extreme (long side can arm).
PR ~ 90–100: Potential bearish extreme (short side can arm).
Important: “Armed” ≠ “Enter.” A trigger still needs a micro BOS on a closed bar and spacing/cooldown to pass.
Repainting, confirmations, and HTF notes
By default, prints wait for the bar to close; this reduces repaint‑like effects.
Pivot SFPs only appear after the pivot confirms (after the chosen “right” bars).
PD/W levels come from the prior completed candles and do not change intraday.
If you enable confirmed HTF values, the HTF slope will not change until its higher‑timeframe bar completes (safer but slightly delayed).
Performance tips
If labels/zones clutter or the chart lags:
Turn ON Performance mode.
Hide FVG or the Trigger Zone.
Reduce badge history or turn badge history off.
If price scaling looks compressed:
Keep optional “score”/“PR” plots OFF (they overlay price and can affect scaling).
Alerts (neutral)
Structural Liquidity: LONG TRIGGER
Structural Liquidity: SHORT TRIGGER
These fire when a trigger condition is met on a confirmed bar (with defaults).
Limitations and risk
Not every sweep/extreme reverses; false triggers occur, especially on thin markets and low timeframes.

Volume Voids [theUltimator5]Volume Voids highlights price regions with no or unusually thin participation over a chosen lookback. It bins the lookback’s full price range into equal steps, assigns each bar’s close to a bin, and accumulates volume per bin. Contiguous runs of zero-volume bins are shown as “voids,” while low-volume runs (below a dynamic threshold) mark thin-liquidity “corridors” where price often traverses quickly when revisited.
An optional PoC (Point of Control) line marks the mid-price of the highest-volume bin—commonly treated as a recent “value” area that price may revisit.
What it draws on your chart
Histogram (optional): Right-anchored horizontal volume-by-price bars built from your lookback and bin count. Bars tint green→red via a simple delta proxy (up-bar volume minus down-bar volume) to hint at directional participation inside each price band.
Point of Control (optional): A horizontal line at the highest-volume bin’s mid-price (the PoC).
Zero-Volume Voids: Translucent boxes where no bin volume printed within the window (detected between the first and last non-empty bins ).
Low-Volume Zones: Translucent boxes where bin volume is below a dynamic threshold (see formula below), often acting like low-friction corridors.
How it works
Slice the lookback’s high→low into N equal price bins.
Assign each bar’s closing price to a bin and add that bar’s volume to the bin total. A simple up/down-bar delta proxy drives the histogram’s tinting.
PoC = bin with the maximum accumulated volume.
Zero-Volume Voids = contiguous runs of bins with exactly zero volume (bounded by the first/last occupied bins).
Low-Volume Zones = contiguous runs of bins with volume below:
threshold = total_window_volume ÷ (divisor × number_of_bins)
Lower divisor → more LV boxes; higher divisor → stricter/fewer boxes.
Note: This is a lightweight, chart-native approximation of a volume profile. Volume is binned by bar close (not by tick-level prints or intrabar distribution), so “voids”/“thin” areas reflect this approximation.
Key inputs
Lookback Period: Window for calculations.
Number of Volume Boxes (bins): Histogram resolution.
PoC / Show Histogram / Anchor to Right Side: Visibility and layout controls.
Low-Volume Threshold Divisor: Sensitivity for LV detection.
Colors & Labels: Customize zero-volume / low-volume box colors and optional labels with offsets.
How to use (educational, not signals)
Context: High-volume = acceptance; thin/zero-volume = inefficiency. Price often rotates near acceptance and moves faster through thin areas.
Revisits: On returns to prior voids/LV zones, watch for accelerated moves or fills; PoC can serve as a balance reference.
Confluence: Pair with trend tools (e.g., ADX), VWAP/session markers, or structure levels for timing and risk.
Limitations & performance
Bins use closing price only; intrabar distribution is not modeled.
Detections refresh on the live bar; visuals can be heavy on large lookbacks/high bin counts—reduce bins/lookback or hide labels if needed.
