TuxAlgo Plus a SMC and Trap Toolkit V0.98r1 by McTogaThe “TuxAlgo Plus” script is a powerful, standalone, conceptual open-source project and self-sufficient “smart money toolkit” with automatic trap detection (SMT), liquidity grabs, FVG confluence, and complete bot setup signals for TV charts in the “H1 to H6” time frame and daily charts. The script is used to improve SMC/trap analyses, i.e., the structure and visualization logic for TradingView charts have been expanded in the “TuxAlgo++” project in line with Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Smart Money Traps (SMT). The SMT block (“Smart Money Traps”) supplements classic smart money concepts with: 1. Detection of bull traps (short setups) and bear traps (long setups) 2. Display of trap boxes in the chart (liquidity grab areas) 3. A bot setup box (table) with ready-made entry/SL/TP levels: as well as age in bars & days and “Valid until ~X d” (remaining term) SMT / bot setup only run on the following timeframes: - H1, H2, H3, H4, H6 This means that traps, labels, and the bot setup box are only displayed on these timeframes Trap definition “Bull Trap (Short Setup)”: - Valid swing high - Swing trend bullish - High (Wick) pierces above the swing high (Liquidity Grab) - Close falls back below the swing high (false breakout) -> Result: Short setup (bull trap), marked in orange Trap definition “Bear Trap (long setup)”: - Valid swing low - Swing trend bearish - Low (wick) pierces below the swing low (liquidity grab) - Close rises above the swing low again (false breakout) -> Result: Long setup (bear trap), marked in blue Entry / SL / TP calculation A price range is taken for each trap: Bull trap (short): - Range = - Entry = point within this range: Entry = hiBT - (hiBT - loBT) * TrapEntryRatio (0..1) -> 0.0 = at the Wick extreme, 0.5 = middle, 1.0 = at the Swing level - SL = Wick extreme (upper edge of the trap) - Risk = |Entry - SL| - TP1 = Entry - R1 * Risk - TP2 = Entry - R2 * Risk Bear Trap (Long): - Range = - Entry analogous within the range according to TrapEntryRatio - SL = wick bottom (lower edge of the trap) - Risk = |Entry - SL| - TP1 = Entry + R1 * Risk - TP2 = Entry + R2 * Risk R1 / R2 correspond to the inputs: - botRR1Input = TP1 Risk/Reward (e.g., 1.5R) - botRR2Input = TP2 Risk/Reward (e.g., 3.0R) Age & Validity Each trap stores: - lastTrapBarIndex -> last bar of the trap - Age in bars -> bar_index - lastTrapBarIndex - Age in days (~d) -> AgeBars * BarDurationInDays (depending on TF) Input: trapMaxAgeBars determines how long a trap is valid. The bot setup box is only displayed if: - a trap is present, - AgeBars <= trapMaxAgeBars, - SMT + Box + SMC timeframe are active. Color logic (color blind friendly): - Blue (accentBlue) = fresh traps (Age <= 1/3 MaxAge) - Orange (accentOrange) = medium age - Violet (accentPurple) = old, but still within MaxAge - Gray (accentGray) = expired (> MaxAge) The box also shows “Valid until ~X d” as the remaining term. Day/Night Mode & Colors - chart.bg_color is used to detect dark or light mode. - Text/background colors adjust (light/dark). - Accent colors (blue/orange/purple/gray) are suitable for red/green color blindness. - Trap labels in the chart: - Bull trap label = orange (short setup) - Bear trap label = blue (long setup) - Text color depends on chart mode (dark/light) Typical workflow (example): 1. Select a suitable symbol & SMC timeframe (e.g., H4 or H6). 2. Wait for a bull trap (short) or bear trap (long). 3. Read in the bot setup box: - Direction (long/short) - Entry, SL, TP1, TP2 - Age & “Valid until ~X d” 4. These values can be used as a template for manual trading or external bot/order systems. 5. Position size & leverage must always be calculated separately in your own risk management (e.g., 2% rule). This script does not calculate position sizes.

Unmitigated MTF High Low Pro - Cave Diving Bookmap Heatmap Plot Unmitigated MTF High Low Pro - Cave Diving Bookmap Heatmap Plot --- ## 📖 Table of Contents 1. (#what-this-indicator-does) 2. (#core-concepts) 3. (#visual-components) 4. (#the-cave-diving-framework) 5. (#how-to-use-it-for-trading) 6. (#settings--customization) 7. (#best-practices) 8. (#common-scenarios) --- ## What This Indicator Does The **Unmitigated MTF High Low v2.0** tracks unmitigated (untouch) high and low levels across multiple timeframes, helping you identify key support and resistance zones that the market hasn't revisited yet. Think of it as a sophisticated memory system for price action - it remembers where price has been, and more importantly, where it *hasn't been back to*. ### Why "Unmitigated" Matters In futures trading, especially on instruments like NQ and ES, the market has a tendency to revisit levels where liquidity was left behind. An "unmitigated" level is one that hasn't been touched since it was formed. These levels often act as magnets for price, and understanding their age and proximity gives you a significant edge in: - **Entry timing** - Waiting for price to approach tested levels - **Exit planning** - Taking profits before ancient resistance/support - **Risk management** - Avoiding entries when approaching multiple old levels - **Liquidity mapping** - Visualizing where orders likely cluster --- ## Core Concepts ### 1. **Sessions & Age** The indicator uses **New York trading sessions** (6:00 PM to 5:59 PM NY time) as the primary time measurement. This aligns with how futures markets naturally segment their activity. **Age Categories:** - 🟢 **New (0-1 sessions)** - Fresh levels, recently formed - 🟡 **Medium (2-3 sessions)** - Tested by time, gaining significance - 🔴 **Old (4-6 sessions)** - Highly significant, survived multiple days - 🟣 **Ancient (7+ sessions)** - Extreme significance, major support/resistance The longer a level remains unmitigated, the more significant it becomes. Think of it like compound interest - time adds weight to these zones. ### 2. **Multi-Timeframe Tracking** You can set the indicator to track high/low levels from any timeframe (default is 15 minutes). This means you're watching for unmitigated 15-minute highs and lows while trading on, say, a 1-minute or 5-minute chart. **Why this matters:** - Higher timeframe levels have more weight - You can see multiple timeframe structure simultaneously - Helps you avoid fighting larger timeframe momentum ### 3. **Mitigation** A level becomes "mitigated" (deactivated) when price touches it: - **High levels** are mitigated when price reaches or exceeds them - **Low levels** are mitigated when price reaches or goes below them Once mitigated, the level disappears from view. The indicator only shows you the untouch levels that still matter. --- ## Visual Components ### 📊 The Dashboard Table Located in the corner of your chart (configurable), the table shows: ``` ┌─────────┬───────────┬────────┬─────┬───────┐ │ Level │ Price │ Points │ Age │ % │ ├─────────┼───────────┼────────┼─────┼───────┤ │ ↑↑↑↑↑ │ 21,450.25 │ +45.50 │ 8 │ +0.21%│ ← 5th High (Ancient) │ ↑↑↑↑ │ 21,430.00 │ +25.25 │ 5 │ +0.12%│ ← 4th High (Old) │ ↑↑↑ │ 21,420.50 │ +15.75 │ 3 │ +0.07%│ ← 3rd High (Medium) │ ↑↑ │ 21,412.00 │ +7.25 │ 1 │ +0.03%│ ← 2nd High (New) │ ↑ ⚠️ │ 21,408.25 │ +3.50 │ 0 │ +0.02%│ ← 1st High (Proximity Alert!) ├─────────┼───────────┼────────┼─────┼───────┤ │ 15 mins │ 🟢 │ Δ 8.75 │ 2U │ │ ← Status Row ├─────────┼───────────┼────────┼─────┼───────┤ │ ↓ ⚠️ │ 21,399.50 │ -5.25 │ 0 │ -0.02%│ ← 1st Low (Proximity Alert!) │ ↓↓ │ 21,395.00 │ -9.75 │ 2 │ -0.05%│ ← 2nd Low (Medium) │ ↓↓↓ │ 21,385.25 │ -19.50 │ 4 │ -0.09%│ ← 3rd Low (Old) │ ↓↓↓↓ │ 21,370.00 │ -34.75 │ 6 │ -0.16%│ ← 4th Low (Old) │ ↓↓↓↓↓ │ 21,350.75 │ -54.00 │ 9 │ -0.25%│ ← 5th Low (Ancient) ├─────────┼───────────┼────────┼─────┼───────┤ │ 📊 15↑ / 12↓ │ ← Statistics (optional) └─────────┴───────────┴────────┴─────┴───────┘ ``` **Reading the Table:** - **Level Column**: Number of arrows indicates position (1-5), color shows age - **Price**: The actual price level - **Points**: Distance from current price (+ for highs, - for lows) - **Age**: Number of full sessions since creation - **%**: Percentage distance from current price - **⚠️**: Proximity alert - price is within threshold distance - **Status Row**: Shows timeframe, direction (🟢 bullish/🔴 bearish), tunnel width (Δ), and Strat pattern ### 📈 Visual Elements on Chart **1. Level Lines** - Horizontal lines showing each unmitigated level - **Color-coded by age**: Bright colors = new, darker = older, deep purple/teal = ancient - **Line style**: Customizable (solid, dashed, dotted) - Automatically turn **yellow** when price gets close (proximity alert) **2. Price Labels** - Show the exact price and age: "21,450.25 (8d)" - Fixed at small size for clean readability - Positioned with configurable offset from current bar **3. Bands (Optional)** - Shaded zones between pairs of unmitigated levels - Default: Between 1st and 2nd levels (the "tunnel") - Can switch to 1st-3rd, 2nd-3rd, or disable entirely - **Upper band** (pink/maroon) - Between unmitigated highs - **Lower band** (blue/teal) - Between unmitigated lows - These represent the "no man's land" or consolidation zones --- ## The Cave Diving Framework This indicator is designed around the **Cave Diving Trading Framework** - a psychological and technical approach that maps cave diving safety protocols to futures trading risk management. ### 🤿 The Core Metaphor **Cave diving has clear danger zones based on depth and overhead environment. Your trading should too.** #### Shallow Water (New Levels, 0-1 Sessions) - **Light**: Bright colors (bright red highs, bright green lows) - **Psychology**: Fresh territory, recently tested - **Trading**: Be aware but not overly concerned - **Cave Diving Parallel**: You can see the surface, easy exit #### Penetration Depth (Medium Levels, 2-3 Sessions) - **Light**: Medium intensity colors - **Psychology**: Building significance, market memory forming - **Trading**: Start respecting these levels for entries/exits - **Cave Diving Parallel**: Deeper in, need to track your line back #### Deep Dive Zone (Old Levels, 4-6 Sessions) - **Light**: Dark colors (deep maroon, dark blue) - **Psychology**: Highly tested support/resistance - **Trading**: Major decision points, plan accordingly - **Cave Diving Parallel**: Significant overhead, careful navigation required #### Overhead Environment (Ancient Levels, 7+ Sessions) - **Light**: Very dark, purple/deep teal - **Psychology**: Extreme caution required, major liquidity zones - **Trading**: These are your "turn back" signals - don't fight ancient levels - **Cave Diving Parallel**: Maximum danger, no room for error ### 🎯 The Proximity Alert System Just like a cave diver's depth gauge that warns at critical thresholds, the proximity alerts (⚠️) tell you when you're entering a danger zone. When price gets within your configured threshold (default 5 points), the indicator: - Highlights the level in **yellow** on the chart - Shows **⚠️** in the table - Signals: "You're entering a high-significance zone - adjust your position accordingly" This prevents the trading equivalent of going deeper into a cave without checking your air supply. --- ## How to Use It for Trading ### 🎯 Entry Strategies **1. The "Bounce Setup" (Mean Reversion)** - Wait for price to approach an old or ancient unmitigated level - Look for confluence: multiple levels nearby, bands narrowing - Enter when price shows rejection (reversal candle patterns) - **Example**: Price drops to a 6-session-old low, shows bullish engulfing → Long entry **2. The "Break and Retest" (Trend Following)** - Wait for price to break through an unmitigated level (mitigates it) - Enter on the retest of the newly broken level - **Example**: Price breaks above 4-session-old high → Wait for pullback to that level → Long entry **3. The "Tunnel Trade" (Range Trading)** - When bands are active, trade the range between 1st-2nd levels - Short near upper band resistance, long near lower band support - Exit at opposite side or when bands break ### 🚨 Risk Management Rules **The Ancient Level Rule** > Never fight ancient levels (7+ sessions). If you're long and approaching an ancient high, take profits. If you're short and approaching an ancient low, take profits. These levels have survived a full trading week without being touched - there's likely significant liquidity and institutional interest there. **The Proximity Exit Rule** > When you see ⚠️ proximity alerts on multiple levels above/below your position, tighten stops or scale out. This is your "overhead environment" warning. You're in dangerous territory. **The New Level Filter** > Be cautious taking positions based solely on new levels (0-1 sessions). Wait for them to age or combine with other confluence. Fresh levels haven't been tested by time. They're like unconfirmed support/resistance. ### 📊 Reading Market Structure **Bullish Structure (🟢 in status row)** - Unmitigated lows are aging and holding - Price respecting the lower band - Old lows below acting as strong support - **Bias**: Look for long entries at lower levels **Bearish Structure (🔴 in status row)** - Unmitigated highs are aging and holding - Price respecting the upper band - Old highs above acting as strong resistance - **Bias**: Look for short entries at higher levels **The Tunnel Compression** - When the Δ (delta) in the status row is small, levels are tight - This often precedes a breakout - **Trading**: Wait for breakout direction, then trade the break ### 🔄 Strat Integration The indicator shows Strat patterns in the status row: - **1** - Inside bar (consolidation) - **2U** - Broke high only (bullish) - **2D** - Broke low only (bearish) - **3** - Broke both (wide range, volatility) Use these with the unmitigated levels: - **2U near old high** → Potential resistance, watch for rejection - **2D near old low** → Potential support, watch for bounce - **3 pattern** → High volatility, respect wider stops --- ## Settings & Customization ### 📅 Session & Timeframe Settings **HL Interval** (Default: 15 minutes) - The timeframe for high/low calculation - **Lower (1m, 5m)**: More levels, more noise, good for scalping - **Higher (30m, 1H, 4H)**: Fewer levels, stronger significance, good for swing trading - **Recommendation for NQ/ES**: 15m or 30m for day trading, 1H for swing trading **Session Age Threshold** (Default: 2) - How many sessions before a level is considered "old" - Lower = more levels classified as old - Higher = stricter definition of significance ### 📊 Level Display Options **Show Level Lines** - Toggle: Display horizontal lines for each level - **Turn off** if you prefer a cleaner chart and only want the table **Show Level Labels** - Toggle: Display price labels on the chart - **Turn off** for minimal visual clutter **Label Offset** - Distance (in bars) from current price bar to place labels - Increase if labels overlap with price action **Level Line Width & Style** - Customize visual appearance - **Thin solid**: Minimal distraction - **Thick dashed**: High visibility ### 🎨 Age-Based Color Coding Customize colors for each age category (high and low separately): - **New (0-1 sessions)**: Default bright red/green - **Medium (2-3 sessions)**: Default medium intensity - **Old (4+ sessions)**: Default dark red/blue - **Ancient (7+ sessions)**: Default deep purple/teal **Color Strategy Tips:** - Keep ancient levels in highly contrasting colors - Use opacity (transparency) if you want subtler lines - Match your chart's color scheme for aesthetic coherence ### 🎯 Band Settings **Band Mode** - **1st-2nd** (Default): The primary "tunnel" between most recent levels - **1st-3rd**: Wider band, more room for price action - **2nd-3rd**: Band between less immediate levels - **Disabled**: No bands, lines only **Band Colors & Borders** - Customize fill color and border separately - **Tip**: Keep bands very transparent (90-95% transparency) to avoid obscuring price action ### ⚠️ Proximity Alert Settings **Enable Proximity Alerts** - Toggle: Turn on/off the warning system - When enabled, levels within threshold distance show ⚠️ and turn yellow **Alert Threshold** (Default: 5.0 points) - Distance in points to trigger the alert - **For NQ**: 5-10 points is reasonable - **For ES**: 2-5 points is reasonable - **For MES/MNQ**: Scale down proportionally **Alert Highlight Color** - The color lines/labels turn when proximity is triggered - Default: Yellow (high visibility) ### 📋 Table Settings **Show Table** - Toggle: Display the dashboard table **Table Location** - Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right - Choose based on your chart layout and other indicators **Text Size** - Tiny, Small, Normal, Large - **Recommendation**: Normal for 1080p monitors, Small for 4K **Show % Distance** - Toggle: Add percentage distance column to table - Useful for comparing relative distances across different price ranges **Show Statistics Row** - Toggle: Show total count of unmitigated highs/lows - Format: "📊 15↑ / 12↓" (15 unmitigated highs, 12 unmitigated lows) - Useful for gauging overall market structure ### ⚡ Performance Settings **Enable Level Cleanup** - Automatically remove very old levels to maintain performance - **Keep on** unless you want unlimited history **Max Lookback Levels** (Default: 10,000) - Maximum number of levels to track - 10,000 ≈ 6+ months of 15-minute bars - **Increase** if you want more history - **Decrease** if experiencing performance issues **Max Boxes Per Band** (Default: 245) - TradingView limit is 500 total boxes - With 2 bands, 245 each = 490 total (safe maximum) --- ## Best Practices ### 🎯 Position Management **1. Scaling In Near Old Levels** ``` Price approaching 5-session-old low: - First position: 30% size at proximity alert (⚠️) - Second position: 40% size at exact level - Third position: 30% size if it shows strong rejection ``` **2. Scaling Out Near Ancient Levels** ``` Holding long position, approaching 8-session-old high: - Exit 50% at proximity alert (⚠️) - Exit 30% at exact level - Trail stop on remaining 20% ``` ### 🧠 Trading Psychology Integration Drawing from principles in *The Mountain Is You*, this indicator helps you: **1. Recognize Self-Sabotage Patterns** - **The Premature Entry**: Entering before price reaches your planned level - **Solution**: Set alerts at unmitigated levels, wait for proximity warnings - **The Profit-Taking Problem**: Exiting too early from fear - **Solution**: Identify the next unmitigated level and commit to holding until proximity alert - **The Loss Holding**: Refusing to exit losing trades - **Solution**: When price breaks through and mitigates your entry level, it's telling you the structure changed **2. Building Better Habits** The color-coded age system trains your brain to: - Respect levels that have proven themselves over time - Distinguish between noise (new levels) and structure (old levels) - Make decisions based on objective data, not fear or greed **3. Emotional Regulation** The proximity alerts serve as: - **Circuit breakers** - Forcing you to re-evaluate before dangerous zones - **Permission to act** - Giving you objective signals to exit without second-guessing - **Validation** - Confirming when you're in alignment with market structure ### 📝 Pre-Market Routine **Daily Setup Checklist:** 1. ✅ Identify the 3 nearest unmitigated highs above current price 2. ✅ Identify the 3 nearest unmitigated lows below current price 3. ✅ Note which are ancient (7+) - these are your "no-go" zones 4. ✅ Check the tunnel width (Δ in status row) - tight or wide? 5. ✅ Set alerts at the 1st high and 1st low for proximity warnings 6. ✅ Plan: "If we go up, I exit at ___. If we go down, I enter at ___." ### 🔄 Timeframe Confluence **Multi-Timeframe Strategy:** Run the indicator on **three instances**: - **15-minute** (short-term structure) - **1-hour** (intermediate structure) - **4-hour** (major structure) **Strong Setup**: When all three timeframes show unmitigated levels converging at the same price zone. **Example:** - 15m: Old low at 21,400 - 1H: Ancient low at 21,398 - 4H: Ancient low at 21,395 - **Result**: 21,395-21,400 is a monster support zone ### ⚠️ What This Indicator Doesn't Do **Not a Crystal Ball** - It doesn't predict where price will go - It shows you where price *hasn't been* and how long it's been avoided - The trading decisions are still yours **Not an Entry Signal Generator** - It provides context and structure - You need to combine it with your entry methodology (price action, indicators, order flow, etc.) **Not Foolproof** - Ancient levels get broken - Proximity alerts can trigger early in strong trends - The market doesn't "owe" you a reversal at any level --- ## Common Scenarios ### Scenario 1: "Level Cluster Ahead" **Situation**: You're long at 21,400. The table shows: - 1st High: 21,425 (2 sessions old) - 2nd High: 21,428 (3 sessions old) - 3rd High: 21,435 (6 sessions old) **Interpretation**: There's a resistance cluster just 25-35 points away. The 6-session-old level is particularly significant. **Action**: - Set first profit target at 21,420 (before the cluster) - Set second target at 21,426 (between 1st and 2nd) - Trail remaining position, but be ready to exit on rejection at 21,435 **Cave Diving Analogy**: You're approaching an overhead section with limited clearance. Lighten your load (reduce position) before entering. --- ### Scenario 2: "Ancient Level Approaches" **Situation**: The market is grinding higher. You see ⚠️ appear next to a 9-session-old high at 21,500. **Interpretation**: This level has survived over a week without being touched. Massive potential liquidity zone. **Action**: - If long, this is your absolute exit zone. Take profits before or at level. - If looking to short, wait for clear rejection (price taps and reverses) - Don't try to buy the breakout until it clearly breaks and retests **Cave Diving Analogy**: Your dive computer is beeping - you've reached your planned turn-back depth. No matter how interesting it looks ahead, honor your plan. --- ### Scenario 3: "Mitigated Levels Create New Structure" **Situation**: Price breaks and mitigates the 1st High. The previous 2nd High becomes the new 1st High. **Interpretation**: The structure just shifted. What was the 2nd level is now most relevant. **Action**: - Watch how price reacts to the newly-mitigated level - If it holds below (acts as resistance), bearish - If it reclaims and holds above (acts as support), bullish - The NEW 1st High is your next target/resistance **Cave Diving Analogy**: You've passed through a restriction - the cave layout ahead is different now. Update your mental map. --- ### Scenario 4: "Tight Tunnel, Upcoming Breakout" **Situation**: The Δ in the status row shows 3.25 points (very tight). Bands are converging. **Interpretation**: Price is consolidating between very close unmitigated levels. Breakout likely. **Action**: - Don't try to predict direction - Set alerts above 1st High and below 1st Low - When break occurs, trade the retest - Expect volatility - use wider stops **Cave Diving Analogy**: You're in a narrow passage. Movement will be sudden and directional once it starts. --- ### Scenario 5: "Imbalanced Structure" **Situation**: The statistics row shows "📊 22↑ / 7↓" **Interpretation**: There are many more unmitigated highs than lows. This suggests: - Price has been declining (hitting lows, leaving highs behind) - Potential bullish reversal zone (lots of overhead supply mitigated) - Or continued bearish structure (resistance everywhere above) **Action**: - Look at the age of those 22 highs - If mostly new (0-2 sessions): Just a recent downmove, not significant yet - If many old/ancient: Strong overhead resistance, be cautious on longs - Compare to price action: Is price respecting the remaining lows? **Cave Diving Analogy**: You've swam deeper than your starting point - most of your markers are above you now. Are you planning the ascent or going deeper? --- ## Final Thoughts: The Philosophy This indicator is built on a simple but powerful principle: **The market has memory, and that memory has weight.** Every unmitigated level represents: - Liquidity left behind - Orders waiting to be filled - Institutional interest potentially parked - Psychological significance for participants The longer a level remains unmitigated, the more "charged" it becomes. When price finally revisits it, something significant usually happens - either a strong reversal or a definitive break. Your job as a trader isn't to predict which outcome will occur. Your job is to: 1. **Recognize** when you're approaching these charged zones 2. **Respect** them by adjusting position size and risk 3. **React** appropriately based on how price behaves at them 4. **Remember** that ancient levels (like ancient wisdom) deserve extra reverence The Cave Diving Framework embedded in this indicator serves as a constant reminder: Trading, like cave diving, requires rigorous respect for environmental hazards, meticulous planning, and the discipline to turn back when your limits are reached. **Every proximity alert is the market asking you**: *"Do you really want to go deeper?"* Sometimes the answer is yes - when your setup, confluence, and risk management all align. Often, the answer should be no - and that's the trader avoiding the accident that would have happened to the gambler. --- ### 🎯 Quick Reference Card **Color System:** - 🟢 Bright colors = New (0-1 sessions) = Shallow water - 🟡 Medium colors = Medium (2-3 sessions) = Penetration depth - 🔴 Dark colors = Old (4-6 sessions) = Deep dive zone - 🟣 Deep dark colors = Ancient (7+ sessions) = Overhead environment **Symbols:** - ↑ ↑↑ ↑↑↑ ↑↑↑↑ ↑↑↑↑↑ = High levels (1st through 5th) - ↓ ↓↓ ↓↓↓ ↓↓↓↓ ↓↓↓↓↓ = Low levels (1st through 5th) - ⚠️ = Proximity alert (danger zone) - 🟢 = Bullish structure - 🔴 = Bearish structure - Δ = Tunnel width (distance between 1st high and 1st low) **Critical Rules:** 1. Never fight ancient levels (7+ sessions) 2. Respect proximity alerts (⚠️) 3. Scale out near old/ancient resistance 4. Wait for confluence when entering 5. Let mitigated levels prove their new role --- **Remember**: The indicator gives you structure. The trading edge comes from your discipline in respecting that structure. Trade safe, trade smart, and always know your exit before your entry. 🎯 --- *"You don't become your best self by denying your patterns. You become your best self by recognizing them, understanding them, and choosing differently." - Adapted from The Mountain Is You* In trading: You don't become profitable by ignoring market structure. You become profitable by recognizing it, understanding it, and choosing your entries accordingly.

ICT Unicorn Model [Kodexius]ICT Unicorn Model is a market structure and imbalance confluence tool that automatically detects high probability “Unicorn” setups by combining three key elements into a single, clean script: -A first, clean break of that swing level (displacement style break) -A Fair Value Gap that overlaps a breaker candle body range Instead of plotting every pivot or every imbalance independently, the script waits for a specific sequence: price establishes a valid swing, breaks that swing for the first time, and prints a setup only when the resulting context aligns with a valid, volatility filtered FVG and a clearly defined breaker range. Each detected setup is drawn directly on the chart with labeled zones (Breaker and FVG) and is then actively monitored. If price violates the breaker boundary based on your chosen invalidation basis (Close or Wick), the setup is marked inactive and can optionally be removed to keep the chart clean. This indicator is designed for traders who work with ICT style concepts such as liquidity runs, displacement, breaker blocks, and imbalance reversion, and who want a structured, rules based visualization rather than discretionary drawing. 🔹 Features 🔸 Fair Value Gap Detection With Volatility Filtering Bullish and bearish FVGs are detected using classic three candle imbalance logic. To avoid low quality gaps during compression, the script applies an ATR based minimum size filter using the “FVG Min Size (ATR Multiplier)” input. Only gaps larger than ATR * threshold are considered valid. 🔸 First Break Validation (Clean Break Logic) A key part of the model is identifying a “first break” of a swing level. The script checks whether the swing price has already been invalidated between the swing bar and the current bar. If it has, the swing is ignored. This helps reduce repeated signals and focuses on fresh structural breaks. 🔸 Breaker and FVG Confluence With Overlap Requirement After a valid break occurs, the script defines a breaker range using the body of the swing candle (open and close). A setup is only created if this breaker body range overlaps the detected FVG price range. This overlap requirement is what filters many “almost” conditions and keeps signals more selective. Bullish Unicorn: Bearish Unicorn: 🔸 Configurable Invalidation Basis (Close or Wick) You can choose how a setup fails: -Close: invalidation requires a candle close beyond the breaker boundary -Wick: invalidation occurs as soon as any wick crosses beyond the breaker boundary This allows the tool to adapt to different trading styles, from conservative confirmation to more sensitive risk control. 🔸 Automatic Cleanup of Failed Setups If “Delete Invalidated Setups” is enabled, the script removes the breaker box, FVG box, and label as soon as the setup is invalidated. If disabled, the zones remain visible for review while the setup is marked inactive internally. 🔸 Clear Chart Visuals Each setup plots: -A labeled Breaker zone box -A labeled FVG zone box -A directional Unicorn label (Bull or Bear) that updates position as the chart advances Colors for bullish and bearish structures are fully configurable. 🔸 Alert Conditions Two alert conditions are provided: -Bullish Unicorn Setup Detected -Bearish Unicorn Setup Detected Alerts trigger only on the bar a new setup is created. 🔹 Calculations This section summarizes the main computations used internally. The goal here is to explain the model mechanics rather than reproduce every implementation detail. 1. Swing Detection (Pivot High / Pivot Low) Swing levels are detected using a symmetric pivot definition with “Swing Length” bars on both sides: float ph = ta.pivothigh(high, swingLength, swingLength) float pl = ta.pivotlow(low, swingLength, swingLength) When a pivot is confirmed, its price and originating bar index are stored: -Swing High: price = pivot high, isHigh = true -Swing Low: price = pivot low, isHigh = false The script keeps a limited history (most recent swings) to stay efficient. 2. Fair Value Gap Detection FVGs use the classic three candle displacement imbalance: Bullish FVG condition bool isBullFVG = high < low Bullish gap range is defined as: -Top = low -Bottom = high Bearish FVG condition bool isBearFVG = low > high Bearish gap range is defined as: -Top = low -Bottom = high 3. ATR Based Minimum Gap Filter ATR is computed (length 14), then the gap size is compared against a user threshold: float atr = ta.atr(14) bool validBullFVG = isBullFVG and (bullFvgTop - bullFvgBot) > (atr * fvgThreshold) bool validBearFVG = isBearFVG and (bearFvgTop - bearFvgBot) > (atr * fvgThreshold) This prevents very small imbalances from generating setups in low volatility conditions. 4. “First Break” Check Using Level Invalidation Scan Before accepting a swing break, the script scans forward from the swing bar to the current bar to confirm the level has not already been breached. The scan can be based on wick or close: -Wick mode: uses high or low -Close mode: uses close Conceptually: priceToCheck = mode == "Wick" ? (checkBelow ? low : high) : close If a prior breach is found, the swing is treated as already invalidated and is ignored for setup creation. 5. Break Of Structure Condition Bullish break requirement A bullish setup requires breaking a stored swing high with bullish body intent: -close > swingHighPrice -open < close Bearish break requirement A bearish setup requires breaking a stored swing low with bearish body intent: -close < swingLowPrice -open > close An additional proximity filter is applied in the bearish branch to reduce weak or overly extended breaks by requiring the prior close to be reasonably near the swing level. 6. Breaker Range Construction Once a qualifying swing is found, the breaker range is derived from the body of the swing candle (the candle at the swing bar index). The body boundaries are: float breakerTop = math.max(bOpen, bClose) float breakerBot = math.min(bOpen, bClose) This models the breaker as the candle body range rather than full wick range, which typically produces more practical invalidation boundaries. 7. Overlap Test Between Breaker and FVG A setup is only created if the breaker body overlaps the FVG zone. Conceptually the script rejects cases where one range is fully above or fully below the other: -If there is no overlap, no setup is created -If overlap exists, the Unicorn setup is valid 8. Active Monitoring and Invalidation Each setup remains active until invalidated. Invalidation is evaluated every bar using your selected basis: -Close basis: compares close to breaker boundary -Wick basis: compares high or low to breaker boundary Bullish invalidation Setup fails if price crosses below breaker bottom. Bearish invalidation Setup fails if price crosses above breaker top. If deletion is enabled, all drawings related to that setup are removed immediately on invalidation. 9. Drawing Updates and Object Lifecycle Breaker and FVG boxes are extended to the right while the setup is active to keep zones visible into the near future. The Unicorn label is also repositioned as new bars print so the most recent context stays readable.

Fractal Reversal StageFractal Reversal Stage — это продвинутый осцилляторный индикатор разворота, который объединяет классический анализ RSI на старших таймфреймах с уникальным паттерном "фрактального поглощения" на рабочих графиках. Multi-Timeframe RSI Filter: Индикатор отслеживает состояние перекупленности/перепроданности на старшем ТФ (например, 15м), определяя глобальную зону интереса. Trend Inertia: Алгоритм проверяет наличие устойчивой инерции тренда (Heikin-Ashi) перед поиском точки входа. Как работает сигнал: Индикатор одновременно анализирует стандартные японские свечи и сглаженные свечи Heikin-Ashi. Сигнал появляется в момент слома текущего тренда, когда подтверждается резкий импульс в обратную сторону. Это позволяет зайти в сделку в самой ранней точке нового движения. Noise Filter: Встроенный фильтр размера тела свечи исключает ложные сигналы на низковолатильном рынке. Как использовать: Зеленая зона / BUY: Ищите сигнал, когда фон окрашен в зеленый цвет Красная зона / SELL: Ищите сигнал, когда фон окрашен в красный цвет Линия тренда: Визуализирует уровни стопа или поддержки/сопротивления после подтверждения разворота. Рекомендуется использовать усреднение на коррекциях против тренда с индикациями (зоны перекупленности/перепроданности выглядят как вертикальные линии). Выход осуществляется по зонам противоположному цвету тренда - Покупка - красная зона, Продажа зеленая. Либо цвет зоны+противоположный сигнал. Fractal Reversal Stage is a professional reversal tool designed to catch trend exhaustion points using MTF RSI filtering and a unique fractal engulfing pattern. Multi-Timeframe RSI Filter: The indicator monitors Overbought/Oversold conditions on a higher timeframe (e.g., 15m) to identify the global "Zone of Interest." Trend Inertia: The algorithm verifies the presence of sustained trend momentum (using Heikin-Ashi) before searching for an entry. Signal Mechanics: The indicator performs a dual analysis of standard Japanese candlesticks and smoothed Heikin-Ashi candles. A signal is triggered at the moment of a trend break, confirmed by a sharp counter-trend impulse. This allows you to enter the trade at the earliest possible stage of a new move. Noise Filter: A built-in candle body size filter eliminates false signals during low-volatility market conditions. How to Use: Green Zone / BUY: Look for a signal when the background is highlighted in green. Red Zone / SELL: Look for a signal when the background is highlighted in red. Trend Line: Visualizes stop-loss levels or support/resistance after the reversal is confirmed. Strategy: It is recommended to use averaging (DCA) during corrections against the signal using the Overbought/Oversold indications (marked as vertical lines). Exit Rules: 1. For a Buy position — exit in the Red Zone. 2. For a Sell position — exit in the Green Zone. 3. Alternatively, exit when a Zone Color change is confirmed by an opposite signal.

ODTE Layman Signals 📌 Script Name Layman Options Signals – Structured BUY CALL / BUY PUT with SL & TP 📖 Overview This indicator is a complete, finished intraday trading system designed to simplify options trading (including 0DTE and weekly options) by converting price action and market structure into clear, actionable signals. The script performs all analysis in the background and displays only what the trader needs to execute consistently: BUY CALL or BUY PUT Predefined Stop Loss (SL) Two Take Profit levels (TP1 and TP2) Trade status and levels displayed in a live status box The focus of this tool is execution discipline, not prediction. 🧠 Core Concepts Used (What Makes This Script Original) This script combines multiple price-action concepts into a single, rule-based framework: 1️⃣ Opening Range Breakout (ORB) The script calculates the opening range high and low using the first X minutes of the regular session. Trades are only allowed above ORB high for CALLs and below ORB low for PUTs. This filters low-quality trades during early chop. 2️⃣ Market Structure Confirmation CALL trades require higher highs and higher lows PUT trades require lower lows and lower highs This prevents trading against structure. 3️⃣ Retest & Liquidity Sweep Validation Breakouts are validated using: ORB retests (price accepts above/below the range) Liquidity sweeps (false breakouts that trap traders) This helps reduce fake breakouts. 4️⃣ Volatility-Aware Risk Management Stop losses are placed using market structure + ATR buffer This avoids stops being placed at obvious levels. 5️⃣ Multi-Target Trade Management TP1 = partial profit (risk reduction) TP2 = runner target (trend continuation) After TP1, stop loss can move to breakeven (optional) 6️⃣ Discipline Controls Only one active trade at a time Cooldown period after a stop loss Prevents over-trading and revenge trading 📊 What the Indicator Displays The script plots the following directly on the chart: Entry level Stop Loss (SL) Take Profit 1 (TP1) Take Profit 2 (TP2) Opening Range High & Low It also includes a Status Box that always shows one of the following states: WAIT BUY CALL BUY PUT IN TRADE COOLDOWN This allows traders to understand the current state at a glance without reading code. ▶️ How to Use the Indicator Recommended Timeframes 1-minute or 2-minute charts Intraday use only Entry Rules When BUY CALL appears → Buy an ATM or slightly ITM call When BUY PUT appears → Buy an ATM or slightly ITM put Risk Management Exit immediately if price hits the SL line Take partial profits at TP1 Hold remaining position for TP2 if conditions allow When Status Shows WAIT or COOLDOWN No trade should be taken ⚙️ Recommended Instruments SPY / QQQ Liquid large-cap stocks Intraday options (0DTE / weeklies) ⚠️ Important Disclaimer This script is provided for educational purposes only. It is not financial advice It does not guarantee profits It does not place trades automatically Options trading involves significant risk Always test using paper trading or small size before live use. 🎯 Who This Script Is For ✔ Traders who want clear rules ✔ Traders who prefer price action over indicators ✔ Options traders who value risk management ✔ Users who want less chart clutter and more discipline ❌ Not intended for swing trading ❌ Not intended for automated trading systems 🧩 Final Notes This is a complete, finished indicator, not a test or experimental script. All logic is deterministic, non-repainting, and designed for real-time use. The philosophy behind this tool is simple: Good trading comes from structure, discipline, and risk control — not prediction.

First Candle Range (FCR) Gold Strategy - EtubersThe 18:00 (6:00 PM) candle is widely used by traders in the Forex and Futures markets because it marks the New York market rollover and the start of the Asian session. How the Strategy Works: - The Range: The High and Low prices of the 1-hour candle (18:00–19:00) create a "Supply and Demand" zone. - The Breakout: A candle closing above the high signals a bullish breakout; a candle closing below the low signals a bearish breakout. - Institutional Memory: By extending this zone forward for 4 days, traders can identify where "old" 18:00 levels act as support or resistance in the future. - Execution: Traders often wait for a breakout followed by a "retest" of the box boundary to enter a high-probability trade.

BB Breakout [DemaK] BB Breakout is a volatility and intrabar activity indicator that combines Bollinger Band breakout context with an internal candle Point of Control (POC) derived from lower-timeframe data. The indicator is designed to help traders identify expansion phases, price acceptance outside statistical ranges, and where volume concentrated inside each candle during those conditions. Bollinger Breakout Context The script plots a standard Bollinger Band structure and highlights conditions where price moves outside the upper or lower band. When this occurs: The chart background is shaded to visually mark bullish or bearish breakout zones. These zones help identify moments of increased volatility or directional pressure. The Bollinger Bands serve as a statistical volatility framework, providing context rather than trade signals. Candle POC Overlay In addition to the breakout zones, the indicator plots a single price level per candle representing the candle’s internal Point of Control. This level is derived from lower-timeframe price and volume behavior and highlights the price where the strongest participation occurred during the formation of the candle. The POC offers insight into: Intrabar balance and imbalance Areas of acceptance within high-volatility conditions Potential short-term reaction levels Optional labels can display basic volume and delta-related information for traders who want additional context. How to use it Use Bollinger breakout zones to identify volatility expansion. Observe how price interacts with the candle POC during and after breakouts. Combine both elements to assess whether breakouts show acceptance or rejection at key intrabar levels. Notes The indicator does not include VWAP calculations. Lower-timeframe data availability may affect precision depending on symbol and exchange. BB Breakout is intended as a contextual analysis tool, not a signal generator. It provides structured visual information that allows traders to interpret price behavior during volatility expansions using their own trading approach.

Candle POC [DemaK]Candle POC is a volume-based indicator that identifies the Point of Control (POC) inside each candle by analyzing lower-timeframe volume distribution. Instead of assuming that volume is evenly distributed across the candle range, this script reconstructs how volume behaved internally using lower timeframe data. How it works For every higher-timeframe candle, the indicator requests data from a lower timeframe and separates volume into: Buy volume (candles closing above open) Sell volume (candles closing below open) Neutral volume (candles closing equal to open) The script then: Aggregates bullish and bearish volume within the candle. Calculates volume delta (buy volume minus sell volume). Normalizes the delta relative to total volume. Locates the price level where the strongest volume imbalance occurred, which is treated as the candle’s Point of Control. This POC represents the price level where market participation was most aggressive during the candle, highlighting areas of acceptance or rejection. What is plotted A single price level per candle representing the internal volume POC. Optional detailed labels showing: Total volume Volume delta Delta percentage relative to total volume How to use it The Candle POC can act as a short-term support or resistance level. It is useful for identifying intracandle balance zones, absorption, and momentum shifts. Traders can combine it with price action or market structure to confirm entries, exits, or areas of interest. Notes The indicator always uses lower-timeframe data to improve precision. Results depend on the availability and quality of lower-timeframe volume data provided by the symbol and exchange.

Market Structure [BOS/ChoCh Line & Bar-Chart]Overview A comprehensive market structure indicator that identifies Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) patterns - essential concepts in Smart Money trading methodology. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔹 KEY FEATURES Two detection modes: Swing-based (High/Low) and Line Chart-based (Close) Automatic HH/LL/LH/HL labeling with price and percentage change BOS (Break of Structure) for trend continuation CHoCH (Change of Character) for trend reversals Market Structure Candle Coloring (MSC) Optional Line Chart overlay Fully customizable colors and display options Built-in alerts for BOS and CHoCH events ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔹 DETECTION MODES Swings Mode Uses candlestick highs and lows to identify swing points. This is the traditional approach and works well for most trading styles. Line Chart Mode Uses closing prices only to identify peaks and troughs - similar to how a line chart displays price action. This mode filters out wicks and can provide cleaner structure identification. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔹 STRUCTURE LABELS HH (Higher High) - Price made a new high above the previous high → Bullish HL (Higher Low) - Price made a higher low → Bullish LH (Lower High) - Price failed to make a new high → Bearish LL (Lower Low) - Price made a new low below the previous low → Bearish ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔹 BOS vs CHoCH BOS (Break of Structure) A continuation signal. Occurs when price breaks a key level in the direction of the current trend. Bullish BOS: Price closes above the last swing high during an uptrend Bearish BOS: Price closes below the last swing low during a downtrend CHoCH (Change of Character) A reversal signal. Occurs when price breaks the key level that would invalidate the current trend. Bullish CHoCH: During a downtrend, price closes above the high that produced the last Lower Low Bearish CHoCH: During an uptrend, price closes below the low that produced the last Higher High ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔹 CANDLE COLORING (MSC) When enabled, candles are colored based on the current market structure trend: Bullish trend: Candles colored in the bullish color Bearish trend: Candles colored in the bearish color Trend-conforming candles appear solid, counter-trend candles appear faded Note: For best results, go to Chart Settings → Symbol and set Body/Border/Wick colors to transparent. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔹 SETTINGS Market Structure Settings Detection Mode - Choose between Swings or Line Chart Swing Length - Sensitivity of pivot detection (higher = less sensitive) Show BOS / Show CHoCH - Toggle display of each pattern type Line Chart Display Show Line Chart - Display the close-based line overlay Line Chart Color / Width - Customize appearance Labels & Extra Data Show HH/LL/LH/HL Labels - Toggle swing point labels Show Price at Pivots - Display price values Show % Change - Display percentage change between swings ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔹 ALERTS The indicator includes alerts for: Bullish/Bearish BOS Bullish/Bearish CHoCH ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔹 USAGE TIPS Use higher Swing Length values on higher timeframes to filter noise CHoCH signals potential trend reversals - consider waiting for confirmation BOS signals trend continuation - can be used for entries in the trend direction Combine with other confluence factors like support/resistance, order blocks, or volume analysis The Line Chart mode can help identify structure on volatile instruments where wicks create noise For best display of bar coloring set Visual Order -> Bring to Front

Zone Eleven HTF Gate SweepThis indicator is designed as a simple visual framework rather than a rigid signal system. It highlights time-based structure and key alignment zones to help identify when price behavior is more likely to be active or responsive. The logic is intentionally flexible, allowing the user to apply their own discretion instead of relying on strict conditions. Its primary value is visual clarity and context, not automatic entries or exits.
