Order blocksHi all!
This indicator will show you found order blocks that can be used as supply or demand. It's my take on trying to create good order blocks and I hope it makes sense.
First off I suggest to verify the current trend before using an order block. This can be done in a variety of ways, one way could be to use my other script "Market structure" () which I use and suggest.
You can configure the indicator to behave differently depending on settings. These are the settings available:
• The order blocks created can be found in any higher timeframe defined in "Timeframe"
• The number of active order blocks are defined in "Count". If an order block is found the earliest order block will be replaced
• You can choose the type of order blocks that are found ("Bullish", "Bearish " or "Both") in "Type"
• The old order blocks can be kept if "Keep history" is checked
• Order blocks that are found are not removed when mitigated (entered) but when a new one appears. They can be removed when they are broken by price if "Remove broken zones" are checked
There is also a setting section called "Requirements" that defines what is required for an order block to be created. These are the settings:
• "Take out"
Check this if you want the base of the order block (the candle where the zone is drawn from (high and low)) to have to take out the previous candle (be higher or lower depending if the order block is bullish or bearish).
• "Consecutive rising/falling"
Each following candle in the reaction (the 3 reaction candles) needs to reach higher or lower (depending on bullish or bearish). Check this if you want that to be true.
• "Reaction"
Some sort of reaction is needed from the 3 candles creating the order block. This reaction is based on the value of the Average True Length (ATR) of length 14. You can here define a factor of the value from the ATR that these 3 candles needs to move in price. A higher need for a reaction (higher factor of the ATR) will create lesser zones. You can also choose to show this limit with the checkbox.
• "Fair Value Gap"
The reaction needs to create a gap (imbalance) in price. This gap is known as a "Fair Value Gap" and is created when the last candle's wick does not meet with the base candle's wick. Check this if you want this to be needed.
After these settings you can also choose the colors of the created zones. The ones that are active (called "Zones"), the ones that are replaced ("Replaced zones") and the ones that are broken ("Broken zones") (if this is enabled in "Remove broken zones").
I'm using my library "Touched" to be able to show you labels when the order blocks have a retest, false breakout and breakout. These labels can be hidden if you disable the labels under the style tab in the indicator settings.
The concept of order blocks is widely used among traders and can provide you with good supply or demand zones. I hope that this indicator makes sense.
My todo-list has a few things, but top of that list is adding alerts for zone interactions or creations. Please feel free to say what you want to be coded!
The order blocks in the publication chart are found in weekly timeframe but are shown on the daily timeframe. Other than that the image shows you zones from the default settings (which are based on the daily timeframe).
Best of luck trading!

3 CANDLE SUPPLY/DEMANDExplanation of the Code:
Demand Zone Logic: The script checks if the second candle closes below the low of the first candle and the third candle closes above both the highs of the first and second candles.
Zone Plotting: Once the pattern is identified, a demand zone is plotted from the low of the first candle to the high of the third candle, using a dashed green line for clarity.
Markers: A small triangle marker is added below the bars where a demand zone is detected for easy visualization.
Efficient Logic: The script checks the conditions for demand zone formation for every three consecutive candles on the chart.
This approach should be both accurate and efficient in plotting demand zones, making it easier to spot potential support levels on the chart.
Volumetric Rejection Blocks [UAlgo]The Volumetric Rejection Blocks is designed to help traders identify and visualize key price levels where volumetric rejections occur, which may indicate a shift in market sentiment. These rejections can signal potential trend reversals or areas where price action is likely to face support or resistance. By drawing rejection blocks based on volumetric strength, the indicator allows users to observe where significant buying or selling pressure has been exerted, which can be used as a reference point for future price action.
Also indicator dynamically calculates swing highs and lows, analyzes bullish and bearish strengths based on volume-weighted price movements, and displays rejection blocks on the chart. Each rejection block represents an area where the price attempted to move beyond a certain level but faced rejection, either on a close or wick basis. This can be particularly useful for traders who rely on market structure and order flow to make informed decisions about entering or exiting trades.
🔶 Key Features
Swing Length Customization: Allows users to define the swing length, helping tailor the sensitivity of the swing high and low detection to the specific market conditions.
Rejection Block Visualization: Displays up to the last 10 rejection blocks based on user settings, clearly marking areas of significant bullish or bearish rejections.
Volumetric Strength Analysis: The indicator calculates bullish and bearish strength for each rejection block, based on volume-weighted price movements over the last few bars, giving insight into the intensity of the rejection.
Violation Check Type: Offers two options for violation detection—"Close" and "Wick". This allows traders to specify whether a price level is considered broken only if it closes beyond the level or if any wick breaches it.
Bullish and Bearish Block Coloring: Rejection blocks are colored to represent bullish (green) and bearish (red) rejection areas. The color transparency can be adjusted for clear visibility overlaid on the price chart.
Market Structure Labels: Labels and lines marking "Market Structure Shift" (MSS) and "Break of Structure" (BOS) are displayed, giving traders context about significant market structure changes.
🔶 Interpreting the Indicator
Rejection Blocks: These colored blocks on the chart indicate areas where the price faced significant buying or selling pressure. A green block suggests a bullish rejection (support zone), where buyers absorbed the sell-off, potentially pushing the price upward. Conversely, a red block indicates a bearish rejection (resistance zone), where sellers overpowered buyers, potentially driving the price lower.
Strength Analysis: The width of the green and red sections within a rejection block represents the relative bullish and bearish strengths. A wider green section indicates stronger bullish support, while a wider red section suggests more robust bearish resistance. This helps traders gauge the likelihood of price holding or breaching these levels.
Market Structure Shift (MSS) and Break of Structure (BOS): The indicator automatically detects and labels significant changes in market structure. An "MSS" label indicates the first break, suggesting a potential shift in trend direction. A "BOS" label indicates a subsequent confirmation in trend direction, allowing traders to recognize potential trend continuations.
Violation Check: Traders can choose how to interpret breaks of these rejection blocks. Using the "Close" option provides a more conservative approach, requiring a close beyond the level for confirmation. The "Wick" option is more aggressive, treating any wick beyond the level as a break.

Cumulative Volume Delta Strategy | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing the Cumulative Volume Delta Strategy (CVDS) Indicator, an advanced tool designed to enhance trading strategies by identifying potential trend reversals through volume dynamics. This script features integrated order block detection, Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), and a dynamic take-profit (TP) and stop-loss (SL) system. For an in-depth understanding of the strategy, refer to the "HOW DOES IT WORK?" section below.
Features of the new Cumulative Volume Delta Strategy (CVDS) Indicator :
Cumulative Volume Delta-based Strategy
Order Block and Fair Value Gap (FVG) Entry Methods
Dynamic TP/SL System
Customizable Risk Management Settings
Alerts for Buy, Sell, TP, and SL Signals
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The CVDS indicator operates by tracking the net volume difference between buyers and sellers to identify divergences that could indicate potential trend reversals. A cumulative volume delta (CVD) calculation is employed to measure the intensity of these divergences in relation to price movements. The net volume sum is reset every trading day (can be changed from the settings using the anchor period option), and divergences are detected when the cumulative volume crosses the 0-line over or under.
Once a significant divergence is detected, the indicator identifies breakout points, confirmed by either Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) or Order Blocks (OBs). Depending on your chosen entry mode, the indicator will trigger a buy or sell entry when the confirmation signal aligns with the breakout direction. Alerts for Buy, Sell, Take-Profit, and Stop-Loss are available.
Note that the indicator cannot run on 1-minute and 1-second charts, as it needs to get data from a lower timeframe. 1-minutes & 1-second timeframes are the minimum timeframes in their ranges respectively.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
What sets this indicator apart is the combination of volume divergence analysis with advanced price action tools like Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Order Blocks (OBs). The ability to choose between these methods, along with a dynamic TP/SL system that adapts based on volatility, provides flexibility for traders in any market condition. The backtesting dashboard provides metrics about the performance of the indicator. You can use it to tune the settings for best use in the current ticker. The CVD-based strategy ensures that trades are initiated only when meaningful divergences between volume and price occur, filtering out noise and increasing the likelihood of profitable trades.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Anchor Period: Time anchor period used in CVD calculation. This is essentially the period that the volume delta sum will be reset. Lower timeframes may result in more entries at the cost of less reliable results.
Entry Mode: Choose between FVGs or OBs to trigger your entries based on the confirmation signals.
Retracement Requirement: Enable to confirm the entry after a retracement toward the FVG or OB.
2. Fair Value Gaps
FVG Sensitivity: Modify the sensitivity of FVG detection, allowing for more or fewer gaps to be considered valid.
3. Order Blocks (OB)
Swing Length: Define the swing length to identify OB formations. Shorter lengths find smaller OBs, while longer lengths detect larger structures.
4. TP / SL
TP / SL Method:
a) Dynamic: The TP / SL zones will be auto-determined by the algorithm based on the Average True Range (ATR) of the current ticker.
b) Fixed : You can adjust the exact TP / SL ratios from the settings below.
Dynamic Risk: The risk you're willing to take if "Dynamic" TP / SL Method is selected. Higher risk usually means a better winrate at the cost of losing more if the strategy fails. This setting is has a crucial effect on the performance of the indicator, as different tickers may have different volatility so the indicator may have increased performance when this setting is correctly adjusted.
Volumetric Volatility Blocks [UAlgo]The Volumetric Volatility Blocks indicator is designed to identify significant volatility blocks based on price and volume data. It utilizes a combination of the Average True Range (ATR) and Simple Moving Average (SMA) to determine the volatility level and identify periods of heightened market activity. The indicator highlights these volatility blocks, providing traders with visual cues for potential trading opportunities. It differentiates between bullish and bearish volatility by analyzing price movement and volume, offering a nuanced view of market sentiment. This tool is particularly useful for traders looking to capitalize on periods of high volatility and momentum shifts.
🔶 Key Features
Volatility Measurement Length: Controls the period used to calculate the ATR.
Smooth Length of Volatility: Defines the period for the SMA used to smooth the ATR.
Multiplier of SMA: Sets the minimum threshold for the ATR to be considered a "high volatility" block.
Show Last X Volatility Blocks: Determines how many of the most recent volatility blocks are displayed on the chart.
Mitigation Method: Choose between "Close" or "Wick" price to filter volatility blocks based on price action. This helps avoid highlighting blocks broken by the chosen price level.
Volume Info: Displaying the volume associated with each block.
Up/Down Block Color: Sets the color for bullish and bearish volatility blocks.
🔶 Usage
The Volumetric Volatility Blocks indicator visually represents periods of high volatility with blocks on the chart. Green blocks indicate bullish volatility, while red blocks indicate bearish volatility.
Bullish Volatility Blocks: When the ATR surpasses the smoothed ATR multiplied by the set multiplier, and the price closes higher than it opened, a bullish block is formed. These blocks are generally used to identify potential buying opportunities as they indicate upward momentum.
Bearish Volatility Blocks: Conversely, bearish blocks form under the same conditions, but when the price closes lower than it opened. These blocks can signal potential selling opportunities as they highlight downward momentum.
Volume Information: Each block can display volume data, providing insight into the strength of the market movement. The percentage shown on the block indicates the relative volume contribution of that block, helping traders assess the significance of the volatility.
The volume percentages in the Volumetric Volatility Blocks indicator are calculated based on the total volume of the most recent volatility blocks. For each of the most recent volatility blocks, the percentage of the total volume is calculated by dividing the block's volume by the total volume:

Volume Breaker Blocks [UAlgo]The "Volume Breaker Blocks " indicator is designed to identify breaker blocks in the market based on volume and price action. It is a concept that emerges when an order block fails, leading to a change in market structure. It signifies a pivotal point where the market shifts direction, offering traders opportunities to enter trades based on anticipated trend continuation.
🔶 Key Features
Identifying Breaker Blocks: The indicator identifies breaker blocks by detecting pivot points in price action and corresponding volume spikes.
Breaker Block Sensitivity: Traders can adjust breaker block detection sensitivity, length to be used to find pivot points.
Mitigation Method (Close or Wick): Traders can choose between "Close" and "Wick" as the mitigation method. This choice determines whether the indicator considers closing prices or wicks in identifying breaker blocks. Selecting "Close" implies that breaker blocks will be considered broken when the closing price violates the block, while selecting "Wick" implies that the wick of the candle must violate the block for it to be considered broken.
Show Last X Breaker Blocks: Users can specify how many of the most recent breaker blocks to display on the chart.
Visualization: Volume breaker blocks are visually represented on the chart with customizable colors and text labels, allowing for easy interpretation of market conditions. Each breaker block is accompanied by informational text, including whether it's bullish or bearish and the corresponding volume, aiding traders in understanding the significance of each block.
🔶 Disclaimer
Educational Purpose: The "Volume Breaker Blocks " indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice or a recommendation to engage in trading activities.
Risk of Loss: Trading in financial markets involves inherent risks, including the risk of loss of capital. Users should carefully consider their financial situation, risk tolerance, and investment objectives before engaging in trading activities.
Accuracy Not Guaranteed: While the indicator aims to identify potential reversal points in the market, its accuracy and effectiveness may vary. Users should conduct thorough testing and analysis before relying solely on the indicator for trading decisions.
Past Performance: Past performance is not indicative of future results. Historical data and backtesting results may not accurately reflect actual market conditions or future performance.
Order Block Drawing [TradingFinder]🔵 Introduction
Perhaps one of the most challenging tasks for Pine script developers (especially beginners) is properly drawing order blocks. While utilizing the latest technical analysis methods for "Price Action," beginners heavily rely on accurately plotting "Supply" and "Demand" zones, following concepts like "Smart Money Concept" and "ICT".
However, drawing "Order Blocks" may pose a challenge for developers. Therefore, to minimize bugs, increase accuracy, and speed up the process of coding order blocks, we have released the "Order Block Drawing" library.
Below, you can read more details about how to use this library.
Important :
This library has direct and indirect outputs. The indirect output includes the ranges of order blocks plotted on the chart. However, the direct output is a "Boolean" value that becomes "true" only when the price touches an order block, colloquially termed as "Mitigate." You can use this output for setting up alerts.
🔵 How to Use
First, you can add the library to your code as shown in the example below.
import TFlab/OrderBlockDrawing_TradingFinder/1
🟣Parameters
OBDrawing(OBType, TriggerCondition, DistalPrice, ProximalPrice, Index, OBValidDis, Show, ColorZone) =>
Parameters:
• OBType (string)
• TriggerCondition (bool)
• DistalPrice (float)
• ProximalPrice (float)
• Index (int)
• OBValidDis (int)
• Show (bool)
• ColorZone (color)
OBType : All order blocks are summarized into two types: "Supply" and "Demand." You should input your order block type in this parameter. Enter "Demand" for drawing demand zones and "Supply" for drawing supply zones.
TriggerCondition : Input the condition under which you want the order block to be drawn in this parameter.
DistalPrice : Generally, if each zone is formed by two lines, the farthest line from the price is termed "Distal." This input receives the price of the "Distal" line.
ProximalPrice : Generally, if each zone is formed by two lines, the nearest line to the price is termed "Proximal" line.
Index : This input receives the value of the "bar_index" at the beginning of the order block. You should store the "bar_index" value at the occurrence of the condition for the order block to be drawn and input it here.
OBValidDis : Order blocks continue to be drawn until a new order block is drawn or the order block is "Mitigate." You can specify how many candles after their initiation order blocks should continue. If you want no limitation, enter the number 4998.
Show : You may need to manage whether to display or hide order blocks. When this input is "On", order blocks are displayed, and when it's "Off", order blocks are not displayed.
ColorZone : You can input your preferred color for drawing order blocks.
🔵 Function Outputs
This function has only one output. This output is of type "Boolean" and becomes "true" only when the price touches an order block. Each order block can be touched only once and then loses its validity. You can use this output for alerts.
= Drawing.OBDrawing('Demand', Condition, Distal, Proximal, Index, 4998, true, Color)
Smart Money Setup 06 [TradingFinder] Liquidity Sweeps + OB Swing🔵 Introduction
Smart Money, managed by large investors, injects significant capital into financial markets by entering real capital markets.
Capital entering the market by this group of individuals is called smart money. Traders can profit from financial markets by following such individuals.
Therefore, smart money can be considered one of the effective methods for analyzing financial markets.
Sometimes, before a market movement, fluctuation movements that create price movement cause many traders' "Stop Loss" to be triggered. These movements are created in various patterns.
One of these patterns is similar to an "Expanding Triangle", which touches the stop loss of individuals who have placed their stop loss in the cash area in the form of 5 consecutive openings.
To better understand this setup, pay attention to the images below.
Bullish Setup Details :
Bearish Setup Details :
🔵 How to Use
After adding the indicator to the chart, wait for trading opportunities to appear. By changing the "Time Frame" and "Pivot Period", you can see different trading positions.
In general, the smaller the "Time Frame" and "Pivot Period", the more likely trading opportunities will appear.
Bullish Setup Details on Chart :
Bearish Setup Details on Chart :
🔵 Settings
You have access to "Pivot Period", "Order Block Refine", and "Refine Mode" through settings.
By changing the "Pivot Period", you can change the range of zigzag that identifies the setup.
Through "Order Block Refine", you can specify whether you want to refine the width of the order blocks or not. It is set to "On" by default.
Through "Refine Mode", you can specify how to improve order blocks.
If you are "risk-averse", you should set it to "Defensive" mode because in this mode, the width of the order blocks decreases, the number of your trades decreases, and the "reward-to-risk ratio "increases.
If you are on the opposite side and are "risk-taker", you can set it to "Aggressive" mode. In this mode, the width of the order blocks increases, and the likelihood of losing positions decreases.
MTF OB Supply Demand ZonesHello everyone,
This exceptional indicator provides you with visual representations of bullish and bearish order blocks or supply and demand zones across multiple timeframes. In simple terms, bullish order blocks are represented by a small red candle followed by a large red candle, while bearish order blocks are depicted as a small green candle followed by a large red candle. Supply and demand zones are drawn by using order blocks.
Features:
Display order blocks from up to three different timeframes.
Customize the maximum number of boxes shown and the colors of the zones.
Choose from three different modes: OB (Order Block), Extended OB, and Supply/Demand.
Mode Descriptions:
OB: Includes the body of the candle.
Extended OB: Encompasses the body and wick of the candle.
Supply/Demand: Covers the body, wick, and half the body of the large candle.
Usage:
Ensure that charts 2 and 3 are set to a higher timeframe. For modes 2 and 3, it’s recommended to reduce the maximum number of boxes shown. The zones or boxes are transparent, allowing for overlap. This feature aids in identifying reversal zones or confirmed zones. The more intense the color, the stronger the confirmation. If a green zone overlaps a red zone (or vice versa), it signifies a reversal zone.
Thank you for checking out this indicator!

Additional Information:
Order blocks refer to specific price areas where large market participants, such as institutional traders, have previously placed significant buy or sell orders. These clusters of orders can impact price movement, liquidity, and market sentiment.
Order blocks are a strategic approach to identifying key levels of support and resistance based on the behavior of institutional traders. These key levels are then utilized as entry or exit points for trades.
An order block is an area where there has been a large concentration of limit orders awaiting execution. These blocks are identified on a chart by observing previous price action and pinpointing areas where the price experienced significant movement or abrupt changes in direction.
Order blocks are used in the following popular trading philosophies:

Smart Money Setup 03 [TradingFinder] Minor OB & Trend Proof🔵 Introduction
The "Smart Money Concept" transcends mere technical trading strategies; it embodies a comprehensive philosophy elucidating market dynamics. Central to this concept is the acknowledgment that influential market participants manipulate price actions, presenting challenges for retail traders.
As a "retail trader", aligning your strategy with the behavior of "Smart Money," primarily market makers, is paramount. Understanding their trading patterns, which revolve around supply, demand, and market structure, forms the cornerstone of your approach. Consequently, decisions to enter trades should be informed by these considerations.
🟣 Important Note
In this setup, pattern formation revolves around the robustness of the "Stop Hunt" targeting retail traders.
When this stop hunt occurs, if the price tests below the minor pivot or above the minor pivot, a "Minor Order Block" is formed.
Similarly, if the price tests below the major pivot or above the major pivot, a "Major Order Block" is formed.
Since the price hasn't successfully broken the major pivots before breaking the Top or Bottom, it can be inferred that the minor pivots formed within a leg of price movement exhibit a "Range" structure.
For a deeper comprehension of this setup, refer to the accompanying visual aids below.

Order Blocks Indicator [TradingFinder] Lightning|CHOCH |OB | BOS🔵 Introduction
In "Price Action," an "Order Block" is essentially an area on the price chart where significant players such as institutional traders have executed their moves by placing noteworthy orders. These points often indicate areas where price either attempts to break through (resistance) or returns when it reaches there (support).
Therefore, when discussing the identification of order blocks, we typically refer to finding points where the price has stalled for a while and has accumulated strength before making a significant move in one direction.
Essentially, order blocks assist traders in understanding where large players with "smart money" have likely placed their bulk orders in the market. Traders use these order blocks as part of their overall analysis to identify probable levels where price may change direction.
This version of the order block indicator is designed for traders, adding many indicators to their charts. The minimal design helps minimize disruptions to user focus.
🔵 Identification of Order Blocks
To identify order blocks, first, a "Level Break" must occur. To identify a "Demand Zone," a "High Level Break" is required, and to identify a "Supply Zone," a "Low Level Break" is needed.
Demand Zone :
Supply Zone :
🔵 "Change of Character" or "Market Shift Structure"
"ChoCh" or "MSS" is the "Break Level" that is contrary to the previous trend. For example, if a "Bearish Level" is established in the market and consecutive "Low Levels" are being broken, the price turns upward, breaking a "High Level." This break is called "ChoCh" or "MSS."
🔵 "Break of Structure"
"Break of Structure," or "BoS" for short, is the "Break Level" in the direction of the current trend. For example, if a "Bullish Level" is established in the market, when the price breaks a "High Level," a "BoS" has occurred.
🔵 Features
🟣 Major Level
This feature helps you easily identify major levels. These levels form when the price breaks another major level.
🟣 Refine Order Block
The "Refinement" feature allows you to adjust the width of the order block based on your strategy. There are two modes, "Aggressive" and "Defensive," in Order Block Refine. The difference between "Aggressive" and "Defensive" lies in the width of the order block. For "Risk Averse" traders, the "Defensive" mode is suitable because it provides smaller stop losses and larger reward-to-risk ratios. For "Risk Taker" traders, the "Aggressive" mode is more suitable. These traders prefer to enter trades at higher prices and this mode, where the width of the order block is greater, is more suitable for this group of individuals.
🔵 How to Use
After adding the indicator to your chart, you will see a visual similar to the image below. Green order blocks are "Demand Zones" and red order blocks are "Supply Zones." The midpoint of the order blocks also indicates 50% of it.
Refine Order Block is defaulted to On and refines the order blocks. If you want the order blocks to remain original, you should set it to Off.
Refine is defaulted to "Defensive" mode. If you want it to be in "Aggressive" mode, you should change its mode through Refine Type.
Displaying "Major Levels" is turned off by default and to display them, you should set "Show High Level" and "Show Low Level" to "Yes." You can use these lines to identify liquidity or determine stop loss and take profit levels.
Breaker Blocks Screener | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Breaker Blocks Screener! This screener can provide information about the latest breaker blocks in up to 5 tickers. You can also customize the algorithm that finds the breaker blocks and the styling of the screener.
Features of the new Breaker Blocks Screener :
Find Latest Breaker Blocks Accross 5 Tickers
Latest Status, Restests & Volume
Customizable Algoritm / Styling
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Breaker blocks form when an order block fails, or "breaks". It is often associated with market going in the opposite direction of the broken order block, and they can be spotted by following order blocks and finding the point they get broken, ie. price goes below a bullish order block.
The volume of a breaker block is simply the total volume of the bar that the original order block is broken. Often the higher the breaking bar's volume, the stronger the breaker block is.
This screener then finds breaker blocks accross 5 different tickers, and shows the latest information about them.
Status ->
Far -> The current price is far away from the breaker block.
Approaching ⬆️/⬇️ -> The current price is approaching the breaker block, and the direction it's approaching from.
Inside -> The price is currently inside the breaker block.
Retests -> Retest means the price to invalidate the breaker block, but failed to do so. Here you can see how many times the price retested the breaker block.
For the volume, check the top of the "How Does It Work" section.
🚩UNIQUENESS
This screener can detect latest breaker blocks and give information about them for up to 5 tickers. This saves the user time by showing them all in a dashboard at the same time. The screener shows the number of the retests of the breaker block as an unique trait. Another unique ability of the screener is that it shows the latest valid breaker block's volume in the dashboard.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. Tickers
You can set up to 5 tickers for the screener to scan breaker blocks here. You can also enable / disable them and set their individual timeframes.
2. General Configuration
Zone Invalidations -> Select between Wick & Close price for Order & Breaker Block Invalidation.
Swing Length -> Swing length is used when finding order block formations. Smaller values will result in finding smaller order blocks.

Customizable Algoritm / Styling
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Order blocks occur when there is a high amount of market orders exist on a price range. It is possible to find order blocks using specific formations on the chart.
The high & low volume of order blocks should be taken into consideration while determining their strengths. The determination of the high & low volume of order blocks are similar to FVGs, in a bullish order block, the high volume is the last 2 bars' total volume, while the low volume is the oldest bar's volume. In a bearish order block scenerio, the low volume becomes the last 2 bars' total volume.
This screener then finds order blocks accross 5 different tickers, and shows the latest information about them.
Status ->
Far -> The current price is far away from the order block.
Approaching ⬆️/⬇️ -> The current price is approaching the order block, and the direction it's approaching from.

FVG Detector LibraryLibrary "FVG Detector Library"
🔵 Introduction
To save time and improve accuracy in your scripts for identifying Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), you can utilize this library. Apart from detecting and plotting FVGs, one of the most significant advantages of this script is the ability to filter FVGs, which you'll learn more about below. Additionally, the plotting of each FVG continues until either a new FVG occurs or the current FVG is mitigated.
🔵 Definition
Fair Value Gap (FVG) refers to a situation where three consecutive candlesticks do not overlap. Based on this definition, the minimum conditions for detecting a fair gap in the ascending scenario are that the minimum price of the last candlestick should be greater than the maximum price of the third candlestick, and in the descending scenario, the maximum price of the last candlestick should be smaller than the minimum price of the third candlestick.
If the filter is turned off, all FVGs that meet at least the minimum conditions are identified. This mode is simplistic and results in a high number of identified FVGs.
If the filter is turned on, you have four options to filter FVGs :
1. Very Aggressive : In addition to the initial condition, another condition is added. For ascending FVGs, the maximum price of the last candlestick should be greater than the maximum price of the middle candlestick. Similarly, for descending FVGs, the minimum price of the last candlestick should be smaller than the minimum price of the middle candlestick. In this mode, a very small number of FVGs are eliminated.
2. Aggressive : In addition to the conditions of the Very Aggressive mode, in this mode, the size of the middle candlestick should not be small. This mode eliminates more FVGs compared to the Very Aggressive mode.
3. Defensive : In addition to the conditions of the Very Aggressive mode, in this mode, the size of the middle candlestick should be relatively large, and most of it should consist of the body. Also, for identifying ascending FVGs, the second and third candlesticks must be positive, and for identifying descending FVGs, the second and third candlesticks must be negative. In this mode, a significant number of FVGs are eliminated, and the remaining FVGs have a decent quality.
4. Very Defensive : In addition to the conditions of the Defensive mode, the first and third candlesticks should not resemble very small-bodied doji candlesticks. In this mode, the majority of FVGs are filtered out, and the remaining ones are of higher quality.
By default, we recommend using the Defensive mode.
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Parameters
To utilize this library, you need to provide four input parameters to the function.
"FVGFilter" determines whether you wish to apply a filter on FVGs or not. The possible inputs for this parameter are "On" and "Off", provided as strings.
"FVGFilterType" determines the type of filter to be applied to the found FVGs. These filters include four modes: "Very Defensive", "Defensive", "Aggressive", and "Very Aggressive", respectively exhibiting decreasing sensitivity and indicating a higher number of Fair Value Gaps (FVG).
The parameter "ShowDeFVG" is a Boolean value defined as either "true" or "false". If this value is "true", FVGs are shown during the Bullish Trend; however, if it is "false", they are not displayed.
The parameter "ShowSuFVG" is a Boolean value defined as either "true" or "false". If this value is "true", FVGs are displayed during the Bearish Trend; however, if it is "false", they are not displayed.

Order Blocks Finder [TradingFinder] Major OB | Supply and Demand🔵 Introduction
Drawing all order blocks on the path, especially in range-bound or channeling markets, fills the chart with lines, making it confusing rather than providing the trader with the best entry and exit points.
🔵 Reason for Indicator Creation
For traders familiar with market structure and only need to know the main accumulation points (best entry or exit points), and primary order blocks that act as strong sources of power.
🟣 Important Note
All order blocks, both ascending and descending, are identified and displayed on the chart when the structure of "BOS" or "CHOCH" is broken, which can also be identified with "MSS."
🔵 How to Use
When the indicator is installed, it plots all order blocks (active order blocks) and continues until the price reaches them. This continuation happens in boxes to have a better view in the TradingView chart.
Green Range : Ascending order blocks where we expect a price increase in these areas.
Red Range : Descending order blocks where we expect a price decrease in these areas.
🔵 Settings
Order block refine setting : When Order block refine is off, the supply and demand zones are the entire length of the order block (Low to High) in their standard state and cannot be improved. If you turn on Order block refine, supply and demand zones will improve using the error correction algorithm.
Refine type setting : Improving order blocks using the error correction algorithm can be done in two ways: Defensive and Aggressive. In the Aggressive method, the largest possible range is considered for order blocks.
🟣 Important
The main advantage of the Aggressive method is minimizing the loss of stops, but due to the widening of the supply or demand zone, the reward-to-risk ratio decreases significantly. The Aggressive method is suitable for individuals who take high-risk trades.
In the Defensive method, the range of order blocks is minimized to their standard state. In this case, fewer stops are triggered, and the reward-to-risk ratio is maximized in its optimal state. It is recommended for individuals who trade with low risk.
Show high level setting : If you want to display major high levels, set show high level to Yes.
Show low level setting : If you want to display major low levels, set show low level to Yes.
🔵 How to Use
The general view of this indicator is as follows.
When the price approaches the range, wait for the price reaction to confirm it, such as a pin bar or divergence.
If the price passes with a strong candle (spike), especially after a long-range or at the beginning of sessions, a powerful event is happening, and it is outside the credibility level.
An Example of a Valid Zone
An Example of Breakout and Invalid Zone. (My suggestion is not to use pending orders, especially when the market is highly volatile or before and after news.)
After reaching this zone, expect the price to move by at least the minimum candle that confirmed it or a price ceiling or floor.
🟣 Important : These factors can be more accurately measured with other trend finder indicators provided.
🔵 Auxiliary Tools
There is much talk about not using trend lines, candlesticks, Fibonacci, etc., in the web space. However, our suggestion is to create and use tools that can help you profit from this market.
• Fibonacci Retracement
• Trading Sessions
• Candlesticks
🔵 Advantages
• Plotting main OBs without additional lines;
• Suitable for timeframes M1, M5, M15, H1, and H4;
• Effective in Tokyo, Sydney, and London sessions;
• Plotting the main ceiling and floor to help identify the trend.
Implied Orderblock Breaker (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Implied Order Block Breaker (Zeiierman) is a tool designed to identify enhanced order blocks with imbalances. These enhanced order blocks represent areas where there is a rapid price movement. Essentially, this indicator uses order blocks and suggests that a swift price movement away from these levels, breaking the current market structure, could indicate an area that the market has not correctly valued. This technique offers traders a unique method to identify potential market inefficiencies and imbalances, serving as a guide for potential price revisits.
The indicator doesn't scan for imbalances in the traditional sense — where there's an absence of trades between two price levels — but instead, it identifies quick movements away from key levels that suggest where an imbalance might exist. Relying on crossovers and cross-unders in conjunction with pivot points and examining the high/low within the same period provides an innovative method for traders to spot these potentially undervalued or overvalued areas in the market. These inferred imbalances can be crucial for traders looking for price levels where the market might make significant moves.
█ How It Works
Bullish
Crossover: The closing price of a bar crosses above a pivot high, which is an indication that buyers are in control and pushing the price upwards.
New Low Within Period: There is a lower low within the same period as the pivot high. This suggests that after setting a high, the market pulled back to set a new low, potentially leaving a price gap on the way up as the price quickly recovers.
Bearish
Crossunder: The closing price of a bar crosses under a pivot low, indicating that sellers are taking control and driving the price down.
New High Within Period: There is a higher high within the same period as the pivot low. This condition suggests that the market rallied to a new high before falling back below the pivot low, potentially leaving a gap on the way down.
█ How to Use
The enhanced order blocks are often revisited, and the price may aim to 'fill' the potential imbalance created by the rapid price movement, thereby presenting traders with potential entry or exit points. This approach aligns with the idea that imbalances are frequently revisited by the market, and when combined with the context of Order Blocks, it provides even more confluence.
Example
Here, if the price drops rapidly after setting a new high—crossing under the pivot low—it may skip over certain price levels, creating a 'gap' that signifies an area where the price might have been overvalued (imbalance), which the market may revisit for a potential price correction or revaluation.
█ Settings
Period: Determines the number of bars used for identifying pivot highs and lows. A higher value gives more significant but less frequent signals, while a lower value increases sensitivity but might give more false positives.
Pivot Surrounding: Specifies the number of candles to analyze around a pivot point. Increasing this value broadens the analysis range, potentially capturing more setups but possibly including less significant ones.

Order Blocks | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Volumized Order Blocks indicator! This new indicator can render order blocks with their volumetric information. It's highly customizable with detection, invalidation and style settings.
Features of the new Volumized Order Blocks indicator :
Render Bullish & Bearish Order Blocks
Enable / Disable Volumetric Information
Enable / Disable Historic Zones
Visual Customizability
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Order blocks occur when there is a high amount of market orders exist on a price range. It is possible to find order blocks using specific formations on the chart.
The high & low volume of order blocks should be taken into consideration while determining their strengths. The determination of the high & low volume of order blocks are similar to FVGs, in a bullish order block, the high volume is the last 2 bars' total volume, while the low volume is the oldest bar's volume. In a bearish order block scenario, the low volume becomes the last 2 bars' total volume.
🚩UNIQUENESS
The ability to render the total volume of Order Blocks as well as bullish / bearish volume ratio is what sets this Order Block indicator apart from others. Also the ability to combine overlapping Order Block zones will result in cleaner charts for traders.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Volumetric Info -> The volumetric information of the Order Blocks will be rendered if activated.
Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for Order Block Invalidation.
Swing Length -> Swing length is used when finding order block formations. Smaller values will result in finding smaller order blocks.
Breaker Blocks | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Volumized Breaker Blocks indicator! This new indicator can render breaker blocks with their volumetric information. It's highly customizable with detection, invalidation and style settings.
Features of the new Volumized Breaker Block indicator :
Render Bullish & Bearish Breaker Blocks
Enable / Disable Volumetric Information
Enable / Disable Historic Zones
Visual Customizability
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Breaker blocks form when an order block fails, or "breaks". It is often associated with market going in the opposite direction of the broken order block, and they can be spotted by following order blocks and finding the point they get broken, ie. price goes below a bullish order block.
The volume of a breaker block is simply the total volume of the bar that the original order block is broken.
🚩UNIQUENESS
This indicator can not only detect breaker blocks, but it can also detect them with their volumetric information. Volumetric information can be crucial when considering an breaker block's strength, which can be a crucial form of confluence in certain trading strategies.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Volumetric Info -> The volumetric information of the Breaker Blocks will be rendered if activated.
Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for Breaker Block Invalidation.

Order Blocks W/ Realtime Fibs [QuantVue]The "Order Blocks W/ Realtime Fibs" indicator is a comprehensive tool combining the concepts of order blocks with Fibonacci retracement. The combination can be a powerful tool for identifying entry and exit points, and potential target areas.
Order blocks indicate where major players have likely placed their orders, while Fibonacci levels provide a mathematical basis for potential support and resistance areas.
What is an Order Block?
An order block in trading refers to an area on the chart in which it is believed a substantial number of orders (buy or sell) collected over a short period. Typically, these are identified as a range of consecutive aggressive bullish or bearish bars (candles). They represent areas where significant market players have entered the market, creating a footprint of their activity.
The indicator is highly customizable allowing user to select the number of consecutive bars and minimum price movement required for an order block, along with other settings like requiring a new order block in the opposite direction before finding a new order block.
Fibonacci Retracements
Fibonacci retracements are popular among technical traders, based on the idea that markets often retrace a predictable portion of a move, after which they continue to move in the original direction.
Once an Order Block is detected the indicator will automatically draw Fibonacci levels and continue to update those levels in real time until the user selected retracement level has been hit or a new more relevant order block has been found.
The combination of order blocks and Fibonacci retracements in this indicator can be used as a method for spotting potential reversal zones.
Indicator features:
🔹Custom Order Block Parameters
🔹Mitigation Type
🔹Custom Colors
🔹Select Retracement Levels
🔹Alerts for Order Blocks & Retracements

OrderBlock [kyleAlgo]The principle of this indicator
ATR (Average True Range) Setting: The code uses ATR to help calculate the Supertrend indicator.
Supertrend Trend Direction: Identify bullish and bearish trends with the Supertrend method.
Order Block Recognition: This part of the code recognizes and creates order blocks, visualizing them as boxes on the chart. If the number of blocks exceeds the maximum limit, old blocks will be deleted.
Function to prevent overlapping: check whether the new order block overlaps with the existing order block through the isOverlapping function.
Order block color setting: The code sets the color according to whether the block is bullish or bearish, and whether it breaks above or below. Afterwards the color of the existing order blocks will be updated.
Sensitivity settings: Through the input settings of factor and atrPeriod, the sensitivity of Supertrend and the detection of order blocks can be affected.
Visualization: Use TradingView's box.new function to draw and visualize order blocks on the chart.
Practicality:
Support and Resistance Levels: Order blocks may represent areas of support and resistance in the market. By visualizing these areas, traders can better understand when price reversals are likely to occur.
Trading Signals: Traders may be able to identify trading signals based on the color changes of blocks and price breakouts. For example, if the price breaks above a bullish block, this could be a signal to buy.
Risk Management: By using ATR to adjust the sensitivity of Supertrend, the symbol helps traders to adjust their strategies according to market volatility. This can be used as a risk management tool to help identify stop loss and take profit points.
Multi-timeframe analysis: Although the code itself does not implement multi-timeframe analysis directly, it can be done by applying this indicator on different timeframes. This helps to analyze the market from different angles.
Flexibility and Customization: Through sensitivity settings, traders can customize the indicator according to their needs and trading style.
Reduced screen clutter: By removing overlapping order blocks and limiting the maximum number of order blocks, this code helps reduce clutter on charts, allowing traders to analyze the market more clearly.
Overall, this "Pine Script" can be a powerful analytical tool for trend traders and those looking to improve their trading decisions by visualizing key market areas. It can be used alone or combined with other indicators and trading systems for enhanced functionality.
Order Blocks & Breaker Blocks [LuxAlgo]The Order Blocks & Breaker Blocks indicator detects order blocks that can be turned into breaker blocks on the chart automatically once mitigated.
Users can determine the amount of bullish and bearish order/breaker blocks that display on their chart from within the settings menu.
🔶 SETTINGS
Swing Lookback: Lookback period used for the detection of the swing points used to create order blocks.
Show Last Bullish OB: Number of the most recent bullish order/breaker blocks to display on the chart.
Show Last Bearish OB: Number of the most recent bearish order/breaker blocks to display on the chart.
Use Candle Body: Allows users to use candle bodies as order block areas instead of the full candle range.
🔹 Style
Show Historical Polarity Changes: Allows users to see labels indicating where a swing high/low previously occurred within a breaker block.
🔶 USAGE
We have published several scripts covering the detection of order blocks previously, however, the concept of breaker blocks was not yet introduced.
When price mitigates an order block, a breaker block is confirmed. We can eventually expect price to trade back to this breaker block offering a new trade opportunity.
We can see that this is similar to a change in polarity, where a support becomes a resistance after a breakout and vice versa.
This script highlights regular order blocks as solid extended areas on the chart and breaker blocks as dashed lines with dual-colored areas. The color change and dashed line starts at the location where the order block was mitigated.
Using a higher "Swing Lookback" setting will return longer term order/breaker blocks on the chart.
Users can optionally enable "Historical Polarity Changes" labels within the settings menu to see where breaker blocks might have provided an effective trade setup previously.
The "Historical Polarity Changes" setting is disabled by default & is most effective using replay mode as the labels are backpainted.
The order blocks & breaker blocks themselves can be used in real-time as they are detected based on the swing length & previous breaker blocks being mitigated.
Order Block Detector [LuxAlgo]This script makes use of high-volume activity as an indicator of the presence of market participants accumulating orders in specific areas on a lower timeframe by detecting volume peaks to form order blocks.
Mitigated order blocks are automatically hidden from the chart, also allowing users to be able to select two different mitigation methods "wick" and "close".
Additionally, users can be alerted for the creation and mitigation of bullish/bearish order blocks.
Settings
Volume Pivot Length: Lookback of the pivot function used to detect volume peaks, lower values will detect order blocks more frequently.
Bullish OB: Determines the number of most recent unmitigated bullish order blocks to display on the chart.
Bearish OB: Determines the number of most recent unmitigated bullish order blocks to display on the chart.
Bearish OB: Determines the number of most recent unmitigated bullish order blocks to display on the chart.
Average Line Style: Line style of the average order block level.
Average Line Width: Line width of the average order block level.
Mitigation Methods: Method used to determine how an order block is mitigated. "Wick" will mitigate order blocks if the candle wick goes outside of the order block and "Close" will mitigate order blocks if the closing price goes outside of the order block.
Usage
It is common for more significant market participants to execute orders incrementally in order to avoid overwhelming the market and cause significant price movements. This practice allows the orders to be executed more efficiently and effectively, reducing the impact on the market and minimizing the potential for price volatility.
Order blocks are price areas where these orders are executed incrementally and are commonly used as areas of support/resistance for traders.
Bearish order blocks occur during a downtrend, while bullish order blocks occur in an uptrend. Bullish order blocks range from the price low to the median price, while bearish order blocks range from the median price to the price high. The median price is used as an equilibrium point.
Users can highlight the bars where an order block was detected from the style settings by toggling on the 'Bull OB' or 'Bear OB' selections.
Note that in order to confirm a peak Volume Pivot Length bars are needed, as such note that order blocks are shown retrospectively.
Candlestick OB FinderIntroduction
Hello, this here is a non-repainting candlestick indicator which is able to detect OB looking candlestick formations.
Usage
It can be used to confirm entries, but be aware that it produces a lot of false signals.
Somehow the swings tend to reverse at these points.
I recommend the 10–15 minutes timeframe.
I hope you enjoy this small indicator. :)
