Institutional Demand Supply IndicatorINTRODUCTION
Institutional demand and supply zones are key areas on a price chart where large institutional traders, such as banks and hedge funds, place significant buy or sell orders. These zones often act as strong support or resistance levels due to the substantial volume of trades executed by institutions.
There are various ways to identify these areas of interest on the charts, but the main goal is to study the price movements, especially significant ones. Large financial entities tend to operate in the same price areas repeatedly. Instead of chasing price movements and risking counter moves, it's better to wait for the price to return to these areas, expecting that these entities will buy or sell there again.
INDICATOR SETTINGS:
1. High Probability Zones (HPZ) - High Probability Zones (HPZ) are demand and supply zones identified using advanced calculations to highlight the most relevant and significant areas. These zones have a higher probability of impacting price movements. Better to keep it turned On.
2. Zone Extension? - Extending zones can be useful for identifying areas that have already been retraced as these zones may continue to influence market dynamics despite the retracement.
3. Zone Type - This option lets you select the zone layout type. 4 options are given which are self explanatory.
4. Directional Candle Count - This option keeps a count of number of consecutive bullish / bearish candle that you would like to set as qualifying parameter for demand / supply zone. For Example - If you keep the number 1, the script will draw a demand or supply zone by just checking if 1 candle has met all the criteria's and calculations.
5. Zone Validity Percentage - You can set the percent change for the number of candles mentioned in point 4 above.
6. HPZ - Keep the number between 6 to 10. As you move the number up, less number of zones will be displayed.
7. Zone Count - You can adjust the number of visible demand and supply zones on the chart. Increase this number if you want to display more zones, or decrease it if the chart becomes too cluttered.
D I S P L A Y
1. Background Color Demand / Supply Zone - This is the background color of demand and supply zone.
2. Channel Color Demand / Supply Zone - This is the color of channel.
3. Channel Line Style - Choose between Solid, dotted or dashed.
4. Background Color Transparency - Choose the transparency of background color
5. Channel Line Width - Choose Channel line width between 1 to 4.
6. Channel Line Transparency - Choose Channel Line Transparency and keep it between 1 to 100.
Sometimes, a level may be breached on one timeframe, but that doesn’t mean the indicator is not working. To understand the price action better, switch to a different timeframe to check why that level was breached and why it found support at a different zone on another timeframe. Look at the 2 screenshots below.

Demand Supply Zone AlertsDemand Supply Zone Alert Indicator
This indicator functions as a scanner/screener and is designed to identify symbols with potential demand and supply zones and generate alerts based on your customized settings. It does not visually plot anything on the chart but is used to place alerts.
Key Features:
1. Demand Supply Zone Patterns:
- Drop Base Rally
- Rally Base Rally
- Rally Base Drop
- Drop Base Drop
2. Zoning Methods:
- Wick to Wick: In a demand zone, this method uses the highest high of the basing as the proximal line. For supply zones, it uses the lowest low of the basing.
- Body to Wick: In a demand zone, this method uses the highest body of the basing as the proximal line. For supply zones, it uses the lowest body of the basing.
3. Legin Methods:
- Candle Type: Based on the candle's bullish or bearish structure.
- Candle Color: Uses the candle color to determine the legin, with green indicating a rally and red indicating a drop.
4. Additional Zone Options:
- Follow Through Pattern: Zones with one legout followed by another legout, based on user-defined strength settings.
- Overnight Gap Zones: Zones formed due to overnight gaps after the basing.
- All Demand Supply Zone Structures: Includes all zones, even if they are not considered quality zones.
5. Zone Settings:
- Number of Candles in Basing: Customize the number of candles in the basing phase. For example, setting it to 3 will only identify zones with 3 or fewer basing candles.
- Legout Strength for Single Legout Pattern: Defines how strong a legout candle must be to qualify as a zone.
- Legout Strength for Follow-Through Pattern: Specifies the strength required for two consecutive legout candles to qualify as a follow-through pattern.
Functionality:
The indicator identifies zones based on a three-component structure: legin, basing, and legout. It uses an algorithm that categorizes candles as legin, basing, or legout based on their range compared to the average candle on the chart. Quality zones are defined by legout candles that are significantly larger than the average candle, while basing candles are smaller.
Once a valid zone structure is identified, the indicator will generate an alert from the list of symbols provided in the settings. Alerts will notify users according to their alert notification settings.
Usage Recommendations:
- This indicator works as a real-time scanner or screener to shortlist symbols when a valid zone is formed based on user settings.
- It aids in identifying potential demand and supply zones, but does not provide explicit buy or sell signals.
- Users should integrate this tool with their own trading plan and thoroughly evaluate any identified symbols before making trades.
Limitations:
This indicator does not provide explicit buy or sell signals. It is intended to aid in identifying symbols where demand and supply zones are being created. Users should use this tool in conjunction with their own trade plan and thoroughly evaluate any identified symbols before making any trades.
Disclaimer:
Please ensure you thoroughly evaluate and qualify any identified symbols according to your individual trade plan before making any trades.
Indecisive CandlesAn Indecisive Candle, often referred to as a Base Candle, is a pivotal element in technical analysis, particularly for identifying institutional supply and demand zones. These candles are characterized by their small bodies and long wicks, reflecting a balance between buyers and sellers, indicating a potential pause or consolidation in the market.
To calculate whether a candle qualifies as an indecisive candle based on the criterion that its body (the absolute difference between its open and close prices) is less than or equal to 50% of the total range of the candle (the difference between its high and low prices).
Key Features:
Small Real Body: Signifies minimal movement from open to close, indicating market indecision.
Long Upper and Lower Wicks: Show that both bulls and bears attempted to control the price, but neither succeeded, leading to a standoff.
Formation Context: Typically found at the end of a strong trend or within a consolidation phase, hinting at a potential reversal or continuation pattern.
Usage in Identifying Institutional Supply and Demand:
Supply Zones: When an Indecisive Candle forms after a rally, it can mark the onset of an institutional supply zone, suggesting that large entities are starting to sell, leading to potential downward pressure.
Demand Zones: Conversely, when this candle appears after a downtrend, it often signals the emergence of a demand zone, where institutions begin to accumulate, anticipating a price increase.
Trading Strategies:
Zone Identification: Use Indecisive Candles to pinpoint key supply and demand zones on your chart, enhancing the accuracy of your support and resistance levels.
Confirmation: Look for confirmation from subsequent price action or volume spikes to validate the presence of institutional activity before making trading decisions.
Risk Management: Place stop-loss orders beyond the wicks of these candles to protect against false breakouts or continued indecision.
Conclusion:
Indecisive Candles are essential tools for traders looking to understand market sentiment and institutional behavior. By mastering their identification and interpretation, you can enhance your ability to spot high-probability trading opportunities and manage risks effectively.

⭑⭑⭑ Zones ⭑⭑⭑
How are zones created?
Supply zones are created when the price drops quickly, so are found above the price action.
Demand zones are created when the price rallies quickly, so are found below the price action.
The script uses a combination of quick price movements and user defined minimum price % changes. All user defined settings have default settings which vary depending on asset type and timeframe.
What is a strong zone?
The zones boxes have either a dashed border or a solid border. A solid border represents a strong zone which is when
the price has moved very quickly from it, or
the price has bounced off the zone multiple times.
What is a deactivated zone?
When the price has gone through the zone by a certain %, the zone is deactivated and displayed in a more transparant colour.
How are deactivated zones used for switch zones?
When a new zone is created, it is checked to see if it overlaps a recently deactivated zone.
e.g. If a new demand zone overlaps a recently deactivated supply zone, then the zone has switched from supply to demand. This might mean the new zone could be a strong one and the number of hits on the previous zone (also a potential indicator of strength) is displayed in the zone label tooltip.
Zone information
Basic zone information can be found in the zone label.
Users can choose what information is displayed in the label including the number of hits and prices.
More detailed information can be found in the zone label tooltip.
Hovering over the label will display more information including the zone start time and height %.
DBD/RBR/RBD/DBR/FVG
Zones are defined as drop base drop, rally base rally, rally base drop, drop base rally, and fair value gap.
Zone height
Users have the option of choosing
Wick to wick, or
Wick to body
The indicator does its best to meet the user preference but sometimes it is not possible. The information in the label tooltip will show if the preference was matched.
Minimum and maximum height default settings help to prevent zone boxes which might fill the whole chart.
⭑⭑⭑ Lines of Interest ⭑⭑⭑
Lines of interest are displayed as an added bonus.
Long wick
Long wicks might show areas of support or resistance. Very long and long wicks are defined by the % change in the wicks.
Very long wick lines are always displayed, and long wicks are displayed if they are not near a zone.
Possible Support / Resistance
After a big rally or drop, lines are displayed to show where the price might pullback to. These lines can act as possible support or resistance, and
are taken from recently deactivated zones. A solid line respresents a strong deactivated zone.
⭑⭑⭑ Alerts ⭑⭑⭑
Limit the number of alerts to the recommended ones. Consider this as more of a visual aid to add to your confluences.
Alert types
Early alerts happen immediately.
Bar end alerts happen when the bar closes.
Alert display
Alerts can be displayed on the chart with symbols. The most recent symbols have a tooltip which allow alert information to be displayed when hovering over them.
It is recommended to turn the alert display off, as it can clutter up the chart. The alerts will continue to work with the display off.

[AlbaTherium] OptiStruct™ Premium for Smart Money Concepts An Insight into Structure Mapping and Order Block Identification with Smart Money Concepts
Introduction:
Structure Mapping & Demands and Supplies Premium serves as a fundamental pillar in the realm of Smart Money Concepts . This indicator adeptly charts the market structure based on a refined version of SMC while identifying Order Blocks. All the concepts embedded in this method are meticulously defined, offering users the ability to chart the market structure with precision and heightened confidence. With this indicator, there is no need for excessive questioning of the accuracy of your markings; it diligently strives to perform this task effectively. There are no hidden 'magic' properties underlying this indicator, ensuring that our users can independently verify each and every feature. It is this commitment to transparency that sets us apart and makes us unique in the market.
In this discussion, we delve into the intricacies of Break of Structure, Change of Character , and SMART MONEY TRAP . We also introduce the concepts of Extreme Order Blocks, Decisional Order Blocks , and Smart Money Trap Order Blocks .
Chapter 1: Understanding Structure Mapping:
Let's begin with some definitions:
- Inside bars are candles that lie within the range of a preceding candle.
- Pullbacks occur in an uptrend when the low of a preceding candle's range (excluding inside bars ) is breached, and the price continues to rise.
- Inducements (IDM) are price levels defined as the low of the latest pullback before the most recent high. They often act as liquidity points that the market revisits before continuing its move.
Break of Structure (BoS):
In an uptrend, after surpassing an IDM , the most recent high becomes a Confirmed structure high, or a Major High . If the price then closes above this Major High, a Bullish Break of Structure (Bullish BoS) is confirmed. Similarly, the lowest point between these movements becomes a Confirmed structure low or Major Low in a downtrend.
Change of Character (ChoCh):
In an uptrend, if the price falls below a Major Low, it indicates a shift in market bias from Bullish to Bearish, or a Bearish Change of Character .
Example of a bullish ChoCh:
Chapter 2: The Significance of Order Blocks:
Order Blocks (OB) play a pivotal role in Smart Money Concepts during entry points. Understanding what they represent and how to identify them is essential. For a Bullish/Bearish Order Block to be confirmed, specific conditions, including price imbalance and breaching the previous candle's high or low, must be met. We will delve into the finer details of identifying and trading Order Blocks, with an emphasis on the fact that price often reacts from Decisional Order Blocks, Extreme Order Blocks , and Smart Money Trap Order Blocks .
An OB is the initial candle range of a pullback that creates a Fair value gap.
These are zones where proactive traders enter the market, resulting in significant price changes indicated by Fair value gaps. It is believed that when the price revisits these zones in the future, it tends to bounce back. This property makes Order Blocks excellent potential entry points.
Order Blocks are categorized as follows:
- Extreme OB : The first and lowest OB between the Major Low and Major High.
- Decisional OB : The most recent OB lower than the current IDM.
- Smart Money Traps : All OBs between Extreme and Decisional OB.
- Demand above IDM / Supply below IDM
Chapter 3: Understanding SMART MONEY TRAP (SMT):
SMART MONEY TRAP is a concept that brings clarity to the distinction between Structure and Order Blocks within Smart Money Concepts and is a unique feature of this indicator. While many Smart Money Traders base their trades on Structure and Order Blocks, it's crucial to recognize that Order Blocks serve as an additional confirmation for buy or sell decisions. Blindly trading based on Order Blocks is not advisable. Instead, traders should exercise patience and await other confirmations like inducement or Liquidity sweep before executing trades on Order Blocks. We will illustrate how this concept works in practice.
In the example above, the market made a high wick up, taking out the buy-side liquidity, then made a bearish ChoCh. We place our sell order on the order block above IDM. This presents a promising trading opportunity, with a stop loss placed above the OB and a take profit set at the low of previous structure.
Conclusion:
Structure Mapping & Demands and Supplies Premium as the epitome of Smart Money Concepts, presenting traders with a tool meticulously crafted for an exceptional user experience .

Introducing the Smart Money Demand and Supply Zones indicator, a powerful tool designed to identify opportunities created by the Smart money.
The Smart Money Demand and Supply Zones indicator is built upon the principles of Rally Base Rally (RBR), Rally Base Drop (RBD), Drop Base Rally (DBR), Drop Base Drop (DBD).
🔍 Key Details 🔍
The "Smart Money" concept refers to large institutional investors and professional traders who possess significant financial resources and expertise. The importance of smart money lies in their influence on market trends and price movements. Their actions and positions often serve as signals for retail traders and investors to make informed decisions.
Formation of Smart Money: Smart money is attracted to areas in the market where they can find favourable risk-to-reward opportunities.
1. Rally Base Rally (RBR) Zones: These zones occur after a rally (upward price movement), followed by a period of consolidation (base formation), and then another rally. Smart money often forms positions here as it suggests a strong uptrend continuation.
2. Rally Base Drop (RBD) Zones: In this case, there is a rally, followed by a base formation, but instead of another rally, the price drops. Smart money may position themselves here in anticipation of a potential trend reversal.
3. Drop Base Rally (DBR) Zones: These zones form when there is a drop in price, followed by a base formation, and then a rally. Smart money may take positions here, expecting a trend reversal to the upside.
4. Drop Base Drop (DBD) Zones: In this scenario, the price drops, then forms a base, but subsequently continues to drop. Smart money might take bearish positions here, anticipating further downward movement.
🚀 Pending Orders from Smart Money Zones: 🚀
When the price approaches these smart money zones, institutional investors often place remaining pending orders to enter the market.
By identifying RBR/DBR zones as potential buying opportunities and RBD/DBD zones as potential selling opportunities on price charts, retail traders can align their trades with smart money activities. Implementing proper risk management and confirming signals enhances the likelihood of successful trades by following the footsteps of institutional investors.

💎 Employing a Top-Down Approach and Multiple Time Frame Analysis: 💎
Let's delve into the concept of adopting a top-down approach combined with multiple time frame analysis in trading scenarios. It is consistently recommended to trade with the trend because, as the saying goes, "the trend is your friend." If you identify a demand zone on the chart but the overall trend is downward, it's crucial to confirm the stock's trend in higher timeframes. Avoid purchasing from the demand zone in such a scenario as you would be going against the trend. To consider buying from the demand zone, ensure that the overall trend is upward by checking the higher timeframe.
Similarly, if the higher timeframe trend is upward but the price is approaching a higher timeframe supply zone, refrain from buying in the lower timeframe. If the price reaches a higher timeframe supply zone, there is a likelihood that the price will face rejection from this zone.
If the price is significantly extended from the EMA 20 on a higher timeframe, for instance, if you plan to trade on a 30-minute timeframe and the price is considerably extended from the daily EMA 20, consider trading from zones that are closer to the daily EMA 20. When the price is extended from the higher timeframe EMA 20, it implies that the price is expensive, and there may be a tendency for it to return to the EMA 20. Therefore, it is advisable to trade from zones that are closer to the higher timeframe EMA 20 and avoid zones that are extended from the higher timeframe EMA 20.
For instance, imagine you're considering purchasing a stock that has reached a demand zone known as Rally Base Rally (RBR). If you identify a corresponding demand zone in a higher time frame located at the same position, and concurrently observe that the intermediate time frame indicates an upward trend, your potential for a successful trade is enhanced.
Conversely, if you spot a buying zone in a lower time frame, but notice a supply zone in the higher time frame at that exact position, the likelihood of a profitable trade decreases significantly. In such cases, it's prudent to steer clear of the lower time frame zone. This emphasizes the critical significance of employing a top-down approach or conducting a multiple time frame analysis.
Note: By Doing top down approach you can easily follow the footprints of smart money in the stock market or any other market by using this indicator and make well-informed trading decisions.
Remember, don't make decisions based only on one time frame. Check the overall trend of the stock and look at buying and selling points on bigger time scales. If you only use one time scale, your chances of making successful trades will be lower.

Professional Zones - Institutional Demand and Supply Imbalances
Intro to Supply and Demand Zone Technical Analysis
Supply and demand is an increasingly common strategy among day and swing traders in equity, forex, and the futures markets. The goal of analyzing supply and demand zones is to pre-determine where price action may pivot before that pivot happens, thus giving us an edge over the market. There are many unique charting/trading strategies that fit under the supply and demand umbrella, however we are going to focus primarily on Institutional Zones of Demand and Supply Imbalances, as this is what our TradingView indicator actively displays.
What are Institutional Zones of Demand and Supply Imbalances?
First, let’s break down the phrase above. The first word is ‘institutional’, which is a key aspect in our trading. As a retail trader, you must understand that retail traders (individual traders like you and I) have very little control and very little effect on price action in the major markets. The price action that we see everyday is caused by large institutions and hedge funds buying and selling equities in massive quantities.
This chart displays the price action for ES, which is the S&P500 E-mini futures .
At the time this guide was created, that chart for ES displays the low of this year (2022). You can see major highs and major lows, as well as steep drops and momentous runs.
Price action like this appears random to the naked eye, however it is all controlled by major institutions. These institutions place large buy and sell orders for markets such as the S&P 500 Index which causes these moves.
Our Institutional Demand and Supply Analysis attempts to discover the price zones where institutions have placed their buy/sell orders. Their buy orders create “demand zones”. And their sell orders create “supply zones”. Knowing where these zones exist allows us to anticipate price trend reversals so we can profitably participate in them alongside the major institutions when these key moves take place.
We are looking for areas in the chart where institutions have created major imbalances (more buy orders than sell orders or vice versa) which creates demand and supply zones that impact price action and trend reversals in predictable ways.
What Causes These Supply and Demand Zones?
Understanding that institutions control the price of the markets is crucial for understanding how these zones of supply and demand imbalances are formed, and it can be derived from historical price action.
There are two types of price action, balanced and imbalanced. Balanced price action is flat, consolidatory price action where the overall direction is sideways. Imbalanced price action is an exaggerated move in price either up or down. Now here is the key: institutional supply and demand imbalances are formed when price action goes from balanced to imbalanced. Below is an example of balanced price action .
There are clearly areas of institutional buy and sell orders that are causing price action to oscillate between the areas of demand and supply. The longer price action consolidates and moves sideways, the larger the volume profile will be in this range. In other words, more institutional orders will build up as price remains relatively the same for a longer period of time.
Here is how a demand zone is formed :
Due to bullish CPI news, price action went from balanced to imbalanced by exploding to the upside. This bullish price action filled all of the sell orders and broke past the previous area of supply. Because price moved up so fast, the buy orders did not get a chance to fill, essentially leaving an area with a high concentration of buy orders remaining. Hence, a new demand zone is formed which is shown here .
Our state-of-the-art indicator automatically scans for these historical shifts in price action (balanced to imbalanced) via our supply and demand zone detection formula, and displays them on your chart instantly. Remember the first image sent of blank price action? Here it is below:
The image below shows the exact same chart of ES, however, our advanced Professional Zones - Institutional Demand and Supply Imbalances indicator has been applied to the chart.
Just like that, price action has been transformed from unexplainable chaos to an orderly sequence of demand bounces and supply rejections.
Yes, all of these zones may be charted manually if one were to acquire the knowledge required to chart them by hand, and spend numerous hours going back in time to find all these zones. Additionally, these charts would then have to be constantly monitored and updated, which would require hours of work each day. This powerful indicator automates all of that work to give you more precious time to analyze and trade these zone-driven pivots in the markets.
How To Measure the Strength of Supply and Demand Zones?
The longer the consolidation takes place, the larger the demand/ supply zone will be. This strength is measured by the time frame of the origin of the zone.
Each zone may be formed on a different time frame, the biggest being the 1 Month time frame, and the smallest being the 30 Minute. Each supply and demand zone is automatically labeled based on the time frame from which the zone originated.
The weakest zones are derived from the 30 minute time frame. This means the zone only took two 30 minute candles to form, which is not a lot of time for institutions to place large orders. This means that the bounces and rejections off of these zones will usually be smaller, and usually won’t last more than a few days.
Larger zones such as 1 Day, 1 Week, and 1 Month often cause large swings in the market lasting weeks, months and even years. So pay attention not just to where the demand and supply zones currently appear, but also to the strength of that zone. You can see below that the demand zone that the market bottomed in and reversed out of in 2022 was in fact, a very strong weekly zone.
What is the Significance of Supply and Demand Zone Breaks?
These zones are order-based. This means that a supply zone level doesn’t turn into demand when price action breaks above it, and demand doesn’t turn into supply when price action breaks below it. It is unlike standard trend-based support and resistance levels. If price action breaks below demand by even $0. 01 , all of the buy orders have been filled and the demand must be deleted from the chart (and vice versa for a supply zone ).
While it is possible to play these zone breaks as continuation plays off of current momentous price action, it is unpredictable how far price will go up or down after breaking supply or demand during that leg.
However, in my years of supply and demand experience, I have noticed that if demand breaks, the market will eventually come down to the next viable demand zone . This is because without a pivot caused by an institutional-created demand or supply imbalance, there is often not enough participation to cause a sustainable trend reversal for a long period of time. Below is an example of this:
Above is the 4 Hour chart of TSLA bouncing up off of a demand zone . We call this a bounce in “no man's land”, as there is no major demand bounce to support this reversal to the upside. So in theory, price action should return lower to the next major historical zone of demand before it has a chance of pulling off a solid reversal. Here is what happened:
As you can see above, TSLA did indeed end up heading back down into the next major demand zone before getting a sustainable reversal to the upside. So you may play these supply and demand zone breaks as continuation trades, either long or short, with a price target at the next major zone. Just make sure to use proper risk management and position sizing, as timing the trigger of a price target can be difficult.
How Might I Place a Trade Using the Indicator?
Now that the basics of institutional supply and demand zones have been discussed, there will come a time that this strategy must be actively applied to personal trading with a goal of becoming profitable. Here is a step-by-step process to place a trade using supply and demand paired with an example of a day trade from the 1 minute time frame.
Step 1: Find a highly institutionally traded stock that is currently in supply or demand as shown by our indicator. For example, AAPL:
Step 2: Look for an above-average (exaggerated) volume spike. Because we are in one of the green zones at the bottom of the chart, we know that we are in demand where large institutional buy orders reside. We need to wait for some of these orders to actually fill before we take our trade. This is known as volume confirmation. The color of the volume usually does not matter in this situation.
Step 3: Now that we have a volume spike which is confirmation of large orders being filled, we need more confirmation that the institutional orders are not only a buy, but large enough to actually reverse the current trend.
This is ultimately a judgment call. A few green candles may be good enough to dictate a reversal, or a trend break. It comes down to personal preference and how aggressive you would like to be. Keep in mind, the longer you wait, the more confirmation your trade has, but also, the longer you wait, the greater the risk of missing the new trend. In this example, we will use a trend line to confirm our trend reversal.
Step 4: Enter the trade. Now that you have proper demand confirmation, you may place your trade. Be sure to determine your stop loss, price target, position size, and all other risk management factors along the way.
In this example, AAPL ran all the way up to supply before rejecting; making for a perfect demand to supply call trade. Also, more short trade entries could have been taken based off of the multiple supply rejections AAPL had.
The Bottom Line
There are many ways one may go about trading the stock market. However in my years of trading and teaching, there has never been a strategy that has not only changed my career, but improved the trading careers of my students, more dramatically than Institutional Zones of Demand and Supply Imbalances.
Though charting new zones and deleting broken ones everyday was time consuming and repetitive, the results of trading these zones made it well-worth the hours of charting. However, after months of development and fine-tuning, the painful charting process has been automated by this powerful indicator, completely replacing the tedious charting work for myself and my students.
While numerous other indicators include the name “Supply and Demand Zones”, we believe that no supply and demand indicator remotely this advanced and accurate available on TradingView. I am very blessed to finally bring this revolutionary tool to the market.
Introduction to the Aurora Demand and Supply Indicator for TradingView and its Functionality
This page is dedicated to providing a thorough walk-through of our Professional Zones - Institutional Demand and Supply Imbalances indicator. The settings functionality, customizability, and purpose will be discussed to give you an in-depth understanding of the indicator. Understanding the purpose of the different functions and settings is crucial to utilizing this powerful tool at its full potential.
First Look Upon Indicator Addition
After purchasing the indicator, your chart may initially appear cluttered, zoomed out, and hard to read. But do not worry, it just means the indicator settings must be fine-tuned to optimize your experience. Tt may appear overwhelming. However this page will discuss each major customizable setting and the functionality behind it to streamline your TradingView set up.
Filter Options Settings Category
This is the first customizable feature that appears when accessing the settings of the indicator. What Filter Zone Ranges does is allow you to filter the range at which zones appear both above and below the current asset price. With this setting unchecked, every single demand and supply zone within the 5k candle limit (or 20k limit if you have a premium TradingView account) will appear on your chart. This causes chart clutter which limits the visibility of price action.
If you have this setting activated, you can choose exactly the range of zones visible to you. This range is percent based and is measured both above and below the current market price. For example, if you activate Filter Zone Ranges and set the Filter Percentage at 7%, only zones within the range of 7% above, and 7% below the current asset price will be shown.
Demand/ Supply Zone Options Settings Category
The next two categories contain the majority of the customizability for supply and demand zones. The first option in both the Demand/ Supply Zone Options is Create Demand/Supply Zones. This toggle is very straight forward, you may choose whether or not to display all demand zones, or all supply zones.
The next two options are Demand/ Supply Zone Border and Demand/ Supply Zone Fill. Again, these are straight forward. The border setting allows you to edit both the color and opacity of the zones’ border lines. The fill setting allows you to edit the color and opacity of the interior of the supply/demand boxes.
Following the first pair of visual settings, you will see Demand/ Supply Zone Box Offset. This allows you to toggle how much the indicator offsets each zone from its origin point. In other words, move it to the left or right from the point in time at which the zone was created. The 0 offset is the base setting which is actually a slight offset to the right of the origin point to ensure that the candlesticks remain unobstructed visually.
After the offset options, you will find Demand/ Supply Zone ERC Multiple. This is a key setting which inputs the value our formula utilizes to scan the areas of institutional supply and demand imbalances. Unless you are extremely experienced with supply and demand analysis or you are running backtesting, it is highly recommended this value is left at ‘2’ for both the demand and supply options.
The next two options you will see in your indicator settings are Extend Demand/ Supply Zone and Demand/ Supply Zone Size. This feature allows you to customize exactly how far your zones will extend from the point of origin into the future.
The three options on the drop down menu are Extend, Fixed, and Dynamic. Each of these options extend your zones in a different fashion. It is important to note that the value inputted in the size option is the amount of units the zones will extend to the right for both Fixed and Dynamic options. The larger this input is, the further out the zones will extend into the future, and vice versa.
The final setting in the Demand/ Supply Zone Options category is Broken Zones to Keep and Broken Demand/ Supply Zone Fill. The Broken Zones to Keep input allows you to see recent supply or demand zones that have been broken and deleted from your chart. This may be useful for a trader in a few different ways. The Broken Demand/ Supply Zone Fill setting allows you to customize the number of broken zones displayed as well as their color and opacity. The most prominent example of this option’s utility is for traders that do not observe price action during the entirety of the market open.
If an individual left their charts for a few hours and missed a demand break, it may give the illusion that there was never a demand there and price action has been in “no-man's land” all day. However if that individual inputted ‘1’ in the Broken Zones to Keep setting, they would be able to see that a demand has broken. This may be useful as the trader may have an altered sentiment after knowing that a zone did in fact break.
Note: the value inputted is the amount of previously broken zones that will appear on your chart. For example, if the value ‘3’ is inputted, the three most recently broken zones will appear on your chart.
Time Frame Options Settings Category
Time Frame Options Settings allows you to toggle which supply and demand zones appear on your chart by time frame. For example, if you are analyzing a chart on a larger time frame such as the daily or weekly, the small 30 minute and 45 minute zones will often clutter your chart. By deselecting the weaker and smaller time frame zones, it will clean your chart up, allowing you to only see the zones that assist your analysis.
However the first two options in the category are unique.The first is Show Forming Zones. This option is extremely useful if you are watching price action play out live, when seeing the possibility of a supply or demand zone forming may be of benefit during your day trading. By toggling this setting ON, you will see all possible supply and demand zones forming in real time. However, this could cause clutter if multiple zones are forming at once in which case, toggling it off may be more beneficial.
The second option in the Timeframe Options category is the Show Zones Inside toggle, which controls the table at the top right of your screen (you may get rid of this table by deselecting tables in display settings).
This setting simply is a “yes” or “no” as to whether or not the table located at the top right of your screen will display the number of zones price action is currently sitting in. This setting is useful as zones may sometimes pile up on top of one another, making it hard to know exactly how many zones price action is currently sitting in.
Gap Options Settings Category
Just below the Timeframe Options category, is the Gap Options category. Gaps appear when two daily candles highs and lows do not overlap. These are often created when a catalyst is released into the market overnight causing a large move, resulting in a “gap” up or down the next morning.
A Gap often forms due to a strong move to the upside, and the indicator highlights this gap with a gray box. Gaps are important to many traders as there is often a large lack of liquidity inside the gap area, which often acts as a magnet that attracts future price action to fill it. If toggled on, the indicator displays the gap among the supply and demand zones seamlessly. The rest of the settings for this category are options to customize the color, opacity, size, and offset. These have the same effect as the options in the Demand/ Supply Zone Options category.
Text Options Settings Category
The final category in the indicator input settings is Text Options. This category allows you to toggle zone labeling on or off, and to specify how you would like the zone labels to appear. It’s strongly recommended that zone labeling is left ON because knowing the time frame a supply or demand zone originated from is a massive indicator of its strength. Top right alignment causes labeling such as “3H” to appear at the top right of each zone.
Indicator Data Limitations
There are a few limitations of TradingView which impact the Professional Zones - Institutional Supply and Demand Imbalances indicator. The first is the data TradingView provides to its users. With a basic TradingView account, a user only has access to 5,000 candles of data. So if a user is on the 1 minute time frame, that user can only see 5,000 candles before that current point. This is important because our advanced indicator scans historical price action that has formed supply and demand zones and displays it on your chart. This means that if a user is on a 1 minute time frame chart, they will only be able to see zones formed within the last 5,000 candles. Older supply and demand zones can not be displayed. However if a user has the Premium TradingView subscription, they can access up to 20,000 candles, which greatly increases the potential zones the user may see on the smaller time frames.
To counter this, we strongly recommend checking the larger time frames before starting your trading day, as there could be an old zone lurking behind the scenes. Once you spot it on the 30 minute time frame, for example, you may easily take note of the demand zone and its location.
The Bottom Line
This indicator has been intricately and powerfully designed to not only display institutional supply and demand imbalances more accurately and efficiently than any other TradingView indicator, but it has also been designed to give the user full control. Full control means the user has the ability to customize the appearance and inputs, as well as toggle specific objects visible to the trader.
We have meticulously designed the Professional Zones - Institutional Supply and Demand Imbalances indicator to be extremely valuable as a stand-alone strategy, as well as versatile enough to incorporate multiple other trading strategies on top of supply and demand .
However, in order for this indicator to be utilized by you at its full potential, it is important that you understand all of its features, capabilities and configuration options before you dive into trading.
RSI based support resistance levelsThis indicator draws support line and resistance lines in the price chart.
How ?
For drawing the support/resistance line we need to first determine the demand and supply.
We are using too-familiar indicator RSI to determine when the script is oversold and overbought.
Now oversold (in RSI) is not a point, it’s a zone. The RSI indicator comes below 30, stays there and goes up above 30. Similarly for overbought.
Now if you carefully look at the oversold region – the lowest point of the oversold region is the place where the demand came (for surety) and push the indicator (and price) up.
Similarly: the highest point of overbought is the place where (for surety) the supply came and push the indicator (and price) down.
So that’ the supply / demand line (for surety).
In this indicator, based on the RSI we are just drawing support and resistance lines in the chat. That’s all.
What is unique ?
Trendline concept is not new. RSI is not new. RSI overbought/oversold is not new.
There are indicators exist to draw trendlines. Some of them works beautifully.
However, none of these, we are aware of, uses RSI to determine it. And, we believe, the most logical way to determine support/resistance is RSI.
Note: We are not responsible for any trading/investment decision you are taking out of the outcome of this indicator.
Next Gen Auto S/RThis indicator will automatically plot support and resistance levels and will also allow you to overlay multi time frame support and resistance on any time frame that you are currently conducting analysis on. In addition you can also set alerts when a support and resistance level is tested, fine tune how many levels you would like to view on your charts, option to input how many candlesticks minimum you would like between support and resistance levels. You can also select breakout mode which will turn old support into resistance by a colour change and turn old resistance into support. NEW you can now use extended levels and change your zones into lines.
Order Flow Imbalance Finder By TurkThis indicator is created to find the imbalances when a market exchange receives too many of one kind of order—buy, sell, limit—and not enough of the order's counterpoint and price shoots up or down and it left with unfilled orders. If you know how to trade the imbalances, this indicator can help you by find imbalances automatically.
Dynamic Resistance and Support by A3T - DRS System
Concept : The script Calculates supply-demand areas based on price and change in volume w.r.t change in price (momentum). The EMA slope is read to identify the trend and signals are generated based on the relative strength of all 3 component i.e price, change in price-volume ratio and trend. BLUE channel is formed based on Relative strength of price(RSI) and RED channel is formed based on change in price-volume ratio strength.(Calculating for x price movement what is the volume used based on averaging concept)
Trade setup :
-For BUY signal allow candles to form a proper channel. Once the channel is stable let the price to above the channel and retest the channel. The trade entry will be once the high of retraced candles and last BUY signal candle high breaks. SL will be 1m candle close below the channel.
- For SELL signal allow candles to form a proper channel. Once the channel is stable(Straight line) let the price to go below the channel and retest the channel. The trade entry will be once the low of retraced candles and last SELL signal candle low breaks. SL will be 1m candle close above the channel.
- For Breakout trade there should be a high volume candle RED/GREEN (Dark FILL) inside the channel to execute the trade.
Note: If the breakout is with white filled candle then avoid that trade. Works only on high liquid counters with moderate volatility.
Also check Green and Red line which is S1 and R1 of pivot points.
Major benefits o DRS system :
- Automatic – no more guessing, or subjective line drawing
- Calculates supply demand areas based on price and change in volume w.r.t price change (momentum)
- Multiple time frames & fully customization - measured automatically
- 1/5m time frame is best for intraday trading. Will find 2-3 breakouts per day.
- Buy/Sell signals are majorly found during trending day only.
- Inbuilt Buy and Sell signal ( Trading rule apply)
- SL based on channel end.
-Trailing SL also can be opted with blue 44-ema line
- No signals are generated on low liquid counters with high/low volatility (price change > 0.2% and < 2% and avg. volume >20K/candle )

[VC] Cumulative Delta Histogram V1.0The V.C Cumulative Delta Histogram shows the market's ongoing Buying/Selling pressure. It helps to determine whether Supply or Demand is dominating and in control.
➤If the Cumulative Delta Increases, the buyers are in control.➚
➤If the Cumulative Delta Decreases, the sellers are in control.➘
The use cases for this Indicator are vast and correlated with our other Delta Indicators. The following examples will explain how to use this Indicator.
Example 1 EUR / USD
In the above example, Negative Cumulative Delta Decreased & Turned into Positive Cumulative Delta. That indicates that sellers are losing control & buyers are getting power.
As a confirmation on the ' 'Box Chart Histogram'' it is evident that Demand is also increasing.
And on ''Wave Chart Index'' as a 3rd confirmation, you can see that the Delta has also increased compared to previous waves.
Example 2
Positive Delta on Cumulative Delta Histogram is decreasing & Negative Delta started increasing.
On the Box Chart Histogram , Demand is decreasing & Supply is increasing.
Additionally, on the Wave Chart Index , the Delta of the wave is also decreasing.
(in short, besides ''Cumulative Delta Histogram," Box chart Histogram & Wave Chart Index is also adding additional confirmation)
Note: Two types of Delta sources are included in this Cumulative Delta Indicator.
Type A: Simple Delta
Type B: Delta %
Simple Delta is the difference between Net Buying - Selling pressure.
Delta % also works in the same calculation, but a Volume weighted algorithm is applied on it.
You may use any of them that suits your analysis.
VC Cumulative Delta Histogram Settings & Inputs

Allows you to choose the source, Between Simple Delta & Delta %.
Cumulative Length:
Allows you to Change the cumulative length.
Positive & Negative Color:
It allows you to change the colors.
Style Menue
Allows you to change the style & color of the histogram.
Disclaimer Note:
V.C Cumulative Delta Histogram It is purely Volume , Delta, Demand & Supply imbalance and comparative analysis-based tool. Before applying this Indicator to your study, you should know about Volume , Delta & Spread, Demand & Supply, and Aggressive & Passive behaviour of buyers/sellers.
Some basic understanding of Sir Richerd Wyckoff's Theory can also be helpful.
Base Candle NewBase / Imbalance Candle
It automatically highlights the candle color to yellow (default) where there is imbalance between buyers and sellers or in other words, a base or fight between buyers and sellers. When you identify this base candle, you can mark the demand and supply zones easily.
[VC] Box Chart Index V1.0The ''V.C Box Chart Index'' shows the shortest possible wave. It graphically shows the continuous up movement or continuous down movement in the form of a box. As soon as the direction changes, the box changes as well.
It is an effortless way to show the price change that occurred in the box visually. It also correlates to what Wyckoff said about as the buying waves increase in volume, time, and length & the selling waves shorten, lookout for a change in the prevailing trend.
The example below shows more big green boxes than red, and the price change caused by the green box has made the uptrend.
Important Note:
V.C Box Chart Index also correlates to another indicator named V.C Box Chart Histogram
V.C Box Chart Histogram draws the cumulative delta based on each box as a histogram. Combining these two indicators empowers you to see the cumulative demand & supply and buying & selling quantity of each box.
See the Example Blow:
The above example shows that supply is decreasing on down boxes, indicating that fewer sellers are left to pull the market down.
On the other hand, demand increases on the up boxes, indicating that more buyers are coming into the market. As a result, every green box is breaking the previous high & price is moving upside.
For a more comprehensive understanding of the co-relation of these two indicators, read the description from the link below.
V.C Box Chart Index Settings & Properties Explained
Border of Box:
Allow you to show/hide the border of the box
Positive Box & Negative Box Borders:
Allow you to change the border color & opacity
Positive Box & Negative Box:
Allow you to change the color & opacity of the box
Disclaimer Note:
V.C Box Chart Index is not a BUY/SELL signal based indicator or a holy grail trading system.
It is purely Volume, Delta, Orderflow, Demand & Supply imbalance and comparative analysis based indicator tool kit. Before applying this indicator to your analysis, you should know about Volume, Delta & Spread, and Demand & Supply.
Some basic understanding of Sir Richerd Wyckoff's Theory can also be helpful.
Magic levelsIt is by far the simplest on chart presentation of Gann square of 9. It calculates the levels based on previous day closing. These levels usually acts as support and resistance.
Volume Profile - Custom Range, Interactive by DGTVolume Profile - Custom Range aims to display trading activity at specific price levels over user defined Custom Range of trading. Start and End Time is Interactive , they can be adjusted simply by clicking on the chart and drag the lines to specify the desired custom range. Same as is with the drawing tools available in TV
Please note, while switching between timeframes or switching to different instruments with different exchange timezones you may need to adjust the locations in case the plotting is not displied
Volume Profile - Custom Range is plotted as two horizontal histograms on the finacial isntrumnet's chart that highlights the trader's common interest at specific price levels as well as aims to reveal dominant party of who is in control, bulls or bears

Supply & Demand / Orderblocks - Multi TimeFrame (@JP7FX)This should easily find the clear BUY to SELL / SELL to BUY candles with imbalance created.
There are options to change the Supply and Demand / OrderBlock CREATION based off the OPEN or WICK imbalance and also the option to DRAW the zones from the OPEN or the WICK.
Will also draw HTF zones with options to change the colour of zones when price has mitigated these areas, zones will be deleted once price has passed through.
Each Zone has the 50% line drawn and will delete when Price has reached - maybe useful for traders who look for 50% mitigation of areas.
When using HTF zones (max of 2) a Timeframe display will show for that zone.
There are many options to change colours and lines etc to suit the layout you prefer.
The zones that are created are not to trade from without additional analysis its simply to help draw strong zones.
Hope this provide some help and Trade Safe :)
Demand & Supply Zones [eyes20xx]Demand & Supply Zones
This indicator helps to identify large moves driven by institutions.
What qualifies as a zone?
If the price moves (open to close) by more than a certain % in one candle or in a bullish / bearish run of candles, the zone is marked as a Demand or Supply zone .
0.8% is good for Crypto and Forex might be better with 0.4%. Play around with the % to match your requirements.
Active zones
A zone remains active until it is hit by the price. When it becomes inactive, the zone background becomes transparent.
Zone lines
Lines are displayed if the zone is active and within a certain % of the close. 3% is a good setting for Crypto.
A maximum of two lines are displayed for each zone type.
STC Price Action ZoneHow this works:
This Indicator looks to identify patterns which shows high movement area which may have occurred due to big orders at that time. It helps to Identify Price Action Zones where we may anticipate some reverse move. These Zones & Moves are helpful for Traders.
Buying Zone is below current Market Price. It indicates Price Action area where Buyers overpowered Sellers hence there was big Leg out Candle. This zone may again give buying momentum if Price comes back to that level. As a Trader one may take opportunity enter into the Trade on Bullish Side.
Selling Zone is above current Market Price. It indicate Price Action area where Sellers overpowered Buyers hence there was big Leg out Candle. This zone may again give Selling momentum if Price comes back to that level. As a Trader one may take opportunity enter into the Trade on Bearish Side.
DISCLAIMER:
This indicator/code IS NOT intended to be a formal investment advice or recommendation by the author, nor should be construed as such. Users will be fully responsible by their use regarding their own trading vehicles/assets.
It is strongly recommended that you should get full knowledge of how price actions work and wait for the clear indications before attempting.
KryptOkib Supply and Demand with AlertsAs the name suggests, this is a supply and demand indicator script with alerts that i have made based on sole price actions. I have used 3 different methods of identifying supply and demand zones and tested to make sure they work. Nonetheless some zones will fail as no strategy is 100% and some zone will fail due to other reasons.
How this works:
As a basic rule, demand and supply zones can easily be identified from the base of a drop to a rally or vice versa and the base of a rally to a new rally, hence rally base rally, drop base rally for demand zones and rally base drop and drop base drop for supply zones.
While that is true, i basically search for areas where demand/bulls overpower supply/bears and vice versa with a strong move away. So not all the base are a consideration in this script unless we see a clear sign of bulls overpowering bears, or say demand overpowering supply and bears overpowering bulls or say supply overpowering demand. Several rules has been put in place to identify and filter this out so you may have a Rally Base Drop get ignored by this indicator as it do not meet my requirement.
Once this pattern is detected by the script using either of the 3 price action methods, and then a breakout of the basing candles occurs, the indicator paints the candlestick that broke out of the range/base with a different color, which is blue for demand breakout candle, and orange for a supply breakdown candle as circled on the chart.
The algorithm makes sure that this breakout candles follow strict rules set by mean of which 1 is a very bullishly closing breakout candle for demand or a very bearishly closing candle for a supply, with a follow through candle which is the next trading period /candle.
it is strongly recommended that you wait for the close of the next candlestick before attempting to take the demand/supply zone formed as there are further calculations done on the follow through breakout candle to make sure the demand/supply is a good one, the candle might be painted before the close of the next candle but after the close, the paint will be removed due to the fact that the zone no longer meets strict criteria as defined by me.
It is also suggested that you use the alert function that comes with script and wait for the alert to come through before taking the demand if you cannot wait for the second breakout candle to close as the alert will be fired only on close of the second follow through breakout candle.
One of the strict rules is wanting to see strong bullish/bearish presence apart from the way the breakout candle closes, there are many rules to filter out ugly zones, even though some good zones get caught up in this as well.
Identification of Zones:
Demand Zone: the previous candle open or high(based on personal preference) will be the proximal, where you start to draw your demand zone and the low of the basing/ranging candles or swing low will be the distal, where you end your demand zone as seen on the chart. Stop loss goes under this.
Supply Zone: The previous candle open or low will be the proximal, where the supply zone starts and the high of the range/basing candles or swing will be the distal where the supply zone ends as seen on the chart. Stop loss goes above this
Note that some zones with a-lot of basing candles tend to fail, while some tend to work, i have not algorithmically filtered this as i prefer to examine with eyes the zones alerted to me and take the ones with lesser basing candles.
Generally, Rally Base Rally and Drop Base Drop zones are mostly weaker than the other type of zones but sometimes works perfectly.
How to use Alert Function:
- Go on the ticker you will like to set alert for
- Go on the timeframe you wish to be alerted for
- Right Click on the chart and select Add Alert or Alt + A (keyboard combination)
- Under Condition, click the arrow down and select "KryptOkib SAND"
- Under Options, select "Once Per Bar Close"
- Set Expiration and Alert Actions as you prefer.
- Click on "Create" Button
That is it.
You can repeat this process for all other tickers you wish to have alerts for and you will be notified once price movement has met the conditions outlined in the script.

[astropark] Fast Supply Demand Order Blocks FinderDear Followers,
today another awesome Analysis Tool, that you can use both for Swing and Scalping Trading: Fast Supply Demand Order Blocks Finder !
Every time it finds a bullish Order Block (Demand) or a bearish OB (Supply), it shows it immediatelly and when the OB is touched by price, an alert is triggered and a circle is displayed.
Keep in mind that trading Supply and Demand is quite easy:
short/sell at Supply (Bearish OB)
long/buy at Demand (Bullish OB)
short/sell if Demand (Bullish OB) gets broken
long/buy if Supply (Bearish OB) gets broken
This indicator has the resolution option , so you can checkout higher timeframes OBs, whatever timeframe you are.
Also you can refine the OBs finder algo fine tuning some filter options or you can just disable them all.
The indicator keeps track of all previous historic Supplies and Demands , but if too much are shown and you don't like it, you can just cut them by defining a specifc Analysis Starting Date/Time using the specific input options in the indicator settings.
Optionally you can also change lines' color and width, as well as enable/disable the OB hits circles.
Here below you can see some charts that shows how the indicator works on many timeframes, resolutions and markets.
