Wedge BreakoutThe Wedge Breakout indicator is designed to identify and signal potential breakouts from a wedge pattern, a common technical analysis formation. A wedge pattern typically forms when the price moves within converging trendlines, indicating a potential upcoming breakout either upwards (bullish) or downwards (bearish).
Identifying Pivot Points:
The indicator first calculates pivot points, which are significant highs and lows that define the wedge's upper and lower boundaries.
Pivot Lows: It identifies the lowest price points over a specified length (input_len), which serves as the lower boundary of the wedge.
Pivot Highs: Similarly, it identifies the highest price points over the same length, forming the upper boundary of the wedge.
Drawing Trendlines:
The pivot points are connected to form dashed trendlines that represent the upper and lower boundaries of the wedge.
The indicator uses the SimpleTrendlines library to manage and draw these trendlines dynamically:
Green Trendline: Indicates an upward slope (bullish).
Red Trendline: Indicates a downward slope (bearish).
Calculating the Breakout Conditions:
A breakout is confirmed when the price action fulfills two conditions:
The candle's high exceeds the upper trendline's highest point.
The candle's low drops below the lower trendline's lowest point.
This condition suggests that the price is squeezing within the wedge pattern and is about to break out.
Determining Breakout Direction:
The direction of the breakout is determined by the candle's closing position relative to its opening:
Bullish Breakout (Upward): When the candle closes above its opening price (close > open) after breaching both trendlines, it suggests a bullish breakout. This condition is marked with a green upward triangle .
Bearish Breakout (Downward): When the candle closes below its opening price (close < open) after breaching both trendlines, it suggests a bearish breakout. This condition is marked with a red downward triangle.
Visual Representation:
Green Triangle Up: Plotted below the bar to indicate a potential bullish breakout.
Red Triangle Down: Plotted above the bar to indicate a potential bearish breakout.

[DarkTrader] Pivot Point HeatmapThe indicator calculates pivot points using price data from different timeframes such as 12M, 1M, 1W, 3D, and 1D. For each timeframe, it retrieves the high, low, open, and close prices of the previous bar. The pivot point is calculated as the average of the high, low, and close prices, which provides a central level where market sentiment may shift. This calculation is repeated for each timeframe, ensuring a multi-dimensional view of potential interest zones.
Importance of Pivot Points :
Pivot points are essential tools in technical analysis, providing traders with levels that act as potential support and resistance zones. These zones help identify price levels where reversals or breakouts are more likely to occur.
Visual Representation :
The core feature of this indicator is its ability to visualize pivot points as a heatmap on the chart. Instead of showing just the latest pivot points, it tracks the historical pivot swipe, providing a dynamic view of how price interacts with these key levels. Each pivot point is represented by a line, color-coded based on its position relative to other points, creating a gradient effect that highlights the most critical price areas.
Customization Options :
Traders can customize various aspects of the heatmap to suit their preferences. The indicator offers options to toggle pivot swipe history, enabling traders to either focus on the most recent price interactions or consider how price has behaved over time. The background color and pivot line colors are fully customizable, making it easy to match the heatmap with your chart's theme or emphasize certain price levels.
Detecting Sweeps and Price Interaction :
Another important feature is the detection of price interactions with pivot levels. If the current bar's high and low cross a pivot point, it signals that the pivot level has been "swept" by price action, potentially indicating a change in market sentiment. The indicator either extends the line if the pivot point remains relevant or deletes it if price has broken through. This dynamic adjustment helps traders stay updated on which pivot levels are still valid.
Fractal Levels [BigBeluga]The Fractal Levels - BigBeluga indicator is a specialized tool that detects significant market highs and lows, ranking them by their normalized volume. This indicator is designed to help traders identify crucial price levels that are likely to influence market behavior, enabling better decision-making in trading. By gathering normalized volume around each fractal point, it creates a comprehensive view of the strength and relevance of price reversal points, which can be visualized as numbers or zones on the chart.
🔵KEY FEATURES & USAGE
● High and Low Detection with Volume Ranking:
The indicator detects market highs and lows using a user-defined length setting. For each detected fractal point (high or low), it collects normalized volume from a set number of bars before and after the fractal point (the number is based on the length input). This collection allows the indicator to produce an average of the normalized volume, which is then displayed as a number above or below the corresponding fractal arrows, visually indicating the importance of the high or low.
● Plotting Levels from Fractals:
From these high and low points, the indicator plots key levels. In settings, traders can choose between a wide or tight zone type.
If a price level coincides with multiple pivot points, the indicator highlights this as a significant zone. These zones represent areas where price tends to react, making them critical for identifying potential support and resistance levels.
● Fractal Boxes with Delta Volume Data:
Fractal boxes are shown as gray boxes, representing areas where price pivots occurred, and they also contain delta volume information. Delta volume is calculated by summing the positive and negative volumes within the length range, producing the total delta inside each fractal box. This is particularly useful for analyzing volume shifts around key levels.
● Broken Levels Highlighting:
When a plotted level is broken (price closes above or below it), the level can be removed from the chart automatically. However, in the settings, you can enable a feature to highlight broken levels as gray areas, providing insight into past price behavior. This is helpful for tracking historical support and resistance zones.
> Important note: If no volume data provided indicator wont work
🔵 CUSTOMIZATION
Fractal Length and Filter Settings:
Adjust the Length parameter to control the number of bars used to detect pivot highs and lows. A longer length will result in fewer fractals being identified, focusing on more significant price moves. The Filter option allows you to set a volume threshold, filtering out minor fractals that do not meet the minimum volume requirements.
Levels Detection (Wide or Tight):
Choose between Wide and Tight zones for fractal levels detection. A tight zone focuses on smaller price areas around pivot points, while a wide zone expands the detection range, highlighting larger zones of influence around fractals.
Delta Volume Display for Fractals:
Toggle Delta Volume Fractals to show or hide the delta volume information inside fractal boxes. When enabled, the indicator calculates and displays the total delta volume within the range of bars surrounding each fractal point.
Broken Levels Visibility:
Enable Broken Levels to highlight levels that have been crossed by price. When disabled, broken fractal levels will be removed from the chart after price crosses them.
🔵CONCLUSION
The Fractal Levels indicator provides traders with an advanced way to analyze price highs and lows by combining fractal detection with volume dynamics. By identifying key market levels through normalized volume ranking, delta volume analysis, and level plotting, this tool is invaluable for spotting potential support and resistance zones. Whether you're focusing on short-term trading or longer-term price movements, Fractal Levels offers the precision and flexibility needed to optimize your strategy.

Pure Price Action ICT Tools [LuxAlgo]The Pure Price Action ICT Tools indicator is designed for pure price action analysis, automatically identifying real-time market structures, liquidity levels, order & breaker blocks, and liquidity voids.
Its unique feature lies in its exclusive reliance on price patterns, without being constrained by any user-defined inputs, ensuring a robust and objective analysis of market dynamics.
🔶 MARKET STRUCTURES
A Market Structure Shift, also known as a Change of Character (CHoCH), is a pivotal event in price action analysis indicating a potential change in market sentiment or direction. An MSS occurs when the price reverses from an established trend, signaling that the prevailing trend may be losing momentum and a reversal might be underway. This shift is often identified by key technical patterns, such as a higher low in a downtrend or a lower high in an uptrend, which indicate a weakening of the current trend's strength.
A Break of Structure typically indicates the continuation of the current market trend. This event occurs when the price decisively moves beyond a previous swing high or low, confirming the strength of the prevailing trend. In an uptrend, a BOS is marked by the price breaking above a previous high, while in a downtrend, it is identified by the price breaking below a previous low.
While a Market Structure Shift (MSS) can indicate a potential trend reversal and a Break of Structure (BOS) often confirms trend continuation, they do not assure a complete reversal or continuation. MSS and BOS levels can also function as liquidity zones or areas of price consolidation rather than definitively signaling a change in market direction. Traders should approach these signals cautiously and validate them with additional factors before making trading decisions. For further details on other components of the tool, please refer to the following sections.
🔶 ORDER & BREAKER BLOCKS
Order and Breaker Blocks are key concepts in price action analysis that help traders identify significant levels in the market structure.
Order Blocks are specific price zones where significant buying or selling activity has occurred. These zones often represent the actions of large institutional traders or market makers, who execute substantial orders that impact the market.
Breaker Blocks are specific price zones where a strong reversal occurs, causing a break in the prevailing market structure. These blocks indicate areas where the price encountered significant resistance or support, leading to a reversal.
In summary, Order and Breaker Blocks are essential tools in price action analysis, providing insights into significant market levels influenced by institutional trading activities. These blocks help traders make informed decisions about potential support and resistance levels, trend reversals, and breakout confirmations.
🔶 BUYSIDE & SELLSIDE LIQUIDITY
Both buy-side and sell-side liquidity zones are critical for identifying potential turning points in the market. These zones are where significant buying or selling interest is concentrated, influencing future price movements.
In summary, buy-side and sell-side liquidity provide crucial insights into market demand and supply dynamics, helping traders make informed decisions based on the availability of orders at different price levels.
🔶 LIQUIDITY VOIDS
Liquidity voids are gaps or areas on a price chart where there is a lack of trading activity. These voids represent zones with minimal to no buy or sell orders, often resulting in sharp price movements when the market enters these areas.
In summary, liquidity voids are crucial areas on a price chart characterized by a lack of trading activity. These voids can lead to rapid price movements and increased volatility, making them essential considerations for traders in their analysis and decision-making processes.
🔶 SWING POINTS
Reversal price points are commonly referred to as swing points. Traders often analyze historical swing points to discern market trends and pinpoint potential trade entry and exit points.
Do note that in this script these are subject to backpainting, that is they are not located where they are detected.
The detection of swing points and the unique feature of this script rely exclusively on price action, eliminating the need for numerical user-defined settings. The process begins with detecting short-term swing points:
Short-Term Swing High (STH): Identified as a price peak surrounded by lower highs on both sides.
Short-Term Swing Low (STL): Recognized as a price trough surrounded by higher lows on both sides.
Intermediate-term and long-term swing points are detected using the same approach but with a slight modification. Instead of directly analyzing price candles, previously detected short-term swing points are utilized. For intermediate-term swing points, short-term swing points are analyzed, while for long-term swing points, intermediate-term ones are used.
This method ensures a robust and objective analysis of market dynamics, offering traders reliable insights into market structures. Detected swing points serve as the foundation for identifying market structures, buy-side/sell-side liquidity levels, and order and breaker blocks presented with this tool.
In summary, swing points are essential elements in technical analysis, helping traders identify trends, support, and resistance levels, and optimal entry and exit points. Understanding swing points allows traders to make informed decisions based on the natural price movements in the market.

First 5-Minute ORB Levels with Hour Offset### Indicator Overview: First 5-Minute ORB Levels with Hour Offset
This indicator is designed for traders who want to track the high and low of the first 5-minute candle of a trading session, specifically starting at 9:30 am EST (New York time) by default. The lines representing these levels, known as the "Opening Range Breakout" (ORB) levels, are extended across the trading session until the market close at 4:00 pm EST. The indicator provides the following features:
1. **Real-Time Updates**:
- As the first 5-minute candle of the session forms (from 9:30 am to 9:35 am EST), the indicator dynamically updates the high and low lines.
- After the candle completes, the lines are locked in place and extend horizontally across the chart until market close.
2. **Customizable Hour Offset**:
- Users can adjust the start time of the session by specifying an hour offset. This feature is particularly useful for traders operating in different time zones or those who want to analyze custom session times.
- For example, if you trade in a time zone where the session starts at 8:30 am local time instead of 9:30 am EST, you can set the hour offset to `-1` to adjust the start time accordingly.
3. **Visual Labels**:
- The indicator places labels at the end of the lines, clearly marking the "5m ORB High" and "5m ORB Low" levels. These labels are updated in real-time as the first 5-minute candle forms and are fixed in place once the candle closes.
### How to Adjust the Settings:
1. **Hour Offset**:
- **Description**: The hour offset allows you to shift the start time of the session. The default start time is 9:30 am EST, but you can change this using the hour offset.
- **How to Adjust**:
- Open the indicator settings.
- Locate the "Hour Offset" field.
- Enter a positive or negative integer value to shift the session start time.
- **Example**:
- `0` (default): Start at 9:30 am EST.
- `-1`: Start at 8:30 am EST.
- `+1`: Start at 10:30 am EST.
- The indicator will then track the first 5-minute candle starting at the adjusted time and plot the high and low accordingly.
2. **Line and Label Appearance**:
- The lines representing the ORB levels are green by default, and the labels are also green with white text for clear visibility on the chart. The labels are positioned to the right of the lines to avoid cluttering the chart.
### Use Cases:
- **Opening Range Breakout Strategy**: Traders often use the ORB strategy to identify potential breakout points during the trading day. By marking the high and low of the first 5-minute candle, this indicator helps traders quickly identify key levels where price might break out or reverse.
- **Custom Session Analysis**: If you trade in a different time zone or need to analyze a different session (e.g., pre-market or after-hours), the hour offset feature allows you to adapt the indicator to your needs.
This indicator is particularly valuable for intraday traders who rely on the initial volatility of the trading session to make informed decisions.
[DarkTrader] Harmonic SNRThe Harmonic SNR indicator identifies key price levels (pivots) based on harmonic swings and highlights these levels as potential support and resistance zones. It works by analyzing price swings on two different timeframes simultaneously and compares the resulting pivot points to find matching levels between the timeframes.
Once the matching levels are identified, the script filters out the ones that are too close to each other based on a user-defined minimum distance. This helps in displaying only the most relevant levels on the chart. The valid levels are then sorted and plotted as lines on the chart to provide visual reference points for potential support and resistance areas. These harmonic levels can help traders identify key price zones where the market may react or reverse.
The difference between Harmonic SNR algorithm and traditional Classic Support and Resistance (SNR) lies in the methodology of identifying key price levels, the comparison of timeframes, and the way the levels are filtered and plotted.
1. Method of Calculation
Classic SNR :
Support and resistance levels are often identified based on historical price highs and lows, psychological round numbers, or areas where price has reversed multiple times in the past.
This approach is more static and often relies on manual identification or simple horizontal lines that mark historical levels.
Harmonic SNR :
This indicator uses pivot highs and lows from harmonic swings based on a defined swing period. It calculates swing points programmatically (using pivot calculations) and identifies key price levels algorithmically.
It compares pivot points across two different timeframes (intraday and a higher timeframe) to filter out important price levels, providing a more dynamic and multi-timeframe perspective.
2. Multi-Timeframe Comparison
Classic SNR :
Classic SNR typically focuses on one timeframe and doesn’t involve comparing key levels across different timeframes.
It marks levels purely based on historical price behavior within the single timeframe of analysis.
Harmonic SNR :
This algorithm compares price swings from two different timeframes (e.g., intraday and daily or higher timeframes). Only levels that appear in both timeframes are considered valid.
This makes the harmonic SNR more selective, filtering out weaker levels and highlighting only those that are significant on both timeframes.
3. Dynamic Filtering and Distance Control
Classic SNR :
Traditional SNR does not typically involve filtering based on the distance between levels. It can plot multiple levels even if they are very close to each other, which can clutter the chart.
Harmonic SNR :
This script introduces a filtering mechanism based on a user-defined minimum distance between two levels. If two levels are too close to each other (within a specified threshold), one is excluded to avoid redundancy.
This distance control adds an additional layer of precision to your SNR levels, making them more reliable by avoiding over-clustered levels.
Indicator In Use :
By using harmonic swing points, this indicator indirectly reflects harmonic price movement, which is rooted in the natural oscillation of the market. This gives your SNR levels a dynamic, harmonic-based foundation.
Deep Crab Harmonic Pattern [TradingFinder] Reversal Zones🔵 Introduction
The Deep Crab pattern is a 5-point extension harmonic structure (X-A-B-C-D) used in technical analysis to identify potential reversal points in financial markets. Like the original Crab pattern, it heavily relies on a 1.618 XA projection to form the Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ).
However, the key difference lies in the B point, which must be an 0.886 retracement of the XA leg. The D point in this pattern typically extends beyond the X point, signaling a strong potential reversal in price movement.
Bullish Deep Crab :
The Bullish Deep Crab is a pattern used in technical analysis to spot potential trend reversals. It signals a shift from a downtrend to an uptrend. Traders enter a buy position at the D point and set a stop-loss below point X, anticipating a price increase.
Bearish Deep Crab :
The Bearish Deep Crab is a reversal pattern that indicates the potential end of an uptrend. Traders enter a sell position at point D and set a stop-loss above point X, expecting the price to fall afterward.
🟣 Crab Vs Deep Crab
The Crab and Deep Crab patterns are both used to identify reversal points in technical analysis, but they differ in terms of correction depth :
Crab : The B point retraces between 38.2% to 61.8% of the XA leg, and point D extends beyond X, indicating a price reversal after a smaller correction.
Deep Crab : The B point retraces more deeply, around 88.6% of the XA leg, and point D has a stronger extension, signaling a reversal after a deeper correction.
The Deep Crab is more suited for identifying stronger price movements.
🔵 How to Use
To effectively use the Deep Crab pattern, it’s essential to correctly identify its five key points (X, A, B, C, and D) based on Fibonacci retracements and extensions. Traders look for a deep retracement at point B, followed by an extended move to point D, which typically signals a strong price reversal.
Once these points are established, traders can strategically enter positions at point D with appropriate stop-loss and take-profit levels, capitalizing on the anticipated market reversal. Proper use of Fibonacci tools is crucial for accurate pattern identification.
🟣 Bullish Deep Crab
To use the Bullish Deep Crab pattern, a trader identifies point D as the key price reversal point in a downtrend. Using Fibonacci tools, points X, A, B, and C are identified, with point B showing an 88.6% retracement of XA, and CD extending 1.618% of XA.
The trader enters a buy position at point D and sets a stop-loss below X, expecting a reversal from a downtrend to an uptrend.
🟣 Bearish Deep Crab
In the Bearish Deep Crab pattern, point D acts as the reversal point in an uptrend. After identifying points X, A, B, and C, D extends 1.618% of XA. Point B retraces 88.6% of XA. Traders enter a sell position at point D and place a stop-loss above X, anticipating a drop in price.
🔵 Setting
🟣 Logical Setting

[DarkTrader] Swing OrderflowSwing Orderflow is a indicator that helps traders detect key swing highs and lows in price action. It is designed to enhance your charting experience by highlighting important support and resistance levels while providing clear visual cues on market structure changes. By tracking swing pivots and price trends, this indicator enables traders to make more informed decisions regarding potential entry and exit points in the market.
This indicator is inspired by @Fractalyst Indicator :
The core functionality of the script revolves around detecting swing highs and lows based on a customizable swing period. It identifies these pivots by comparing price movements over a specific time window, marking the points where price either peaks or bottoms out. Swing highs are plotted as resistance levels when the price breaks above a certain threshold, while swing lows are plotted as support levels when price breaks below it. These key points are represented with dotted lines and labels on the chart for easy reference.
Indicator In Use :
Swing High Calculation
A swing high occurs when the high of a specific bar (or candle) is greater than the highs of the surrounding bars within a defined range (called the swing period).
Function used to find the highest price within a specified range : ta.highest(period)
If the current price is greater than the highest price of this period, it's marked as a potential swing high.
A swing high generally represents a resistance level, where the price has reached a peak before declining.
Swing Low Calculation
A swing low occurs when the low of a specific bar is lower than the lows of the surrounding bars within the swing period.
Function used to find the lowest price within a specified range : ta.lowest(period)
If the current price is lower than this lowest price, it's identified as a swing low.
Swing lows represent support levels, where the price reaches a bottom before bouncing back.
These points are plotted on the chart, and the script also tracks whether price breaks above the swing high or below the swing low to determine trends or possible reversals.
BSL (Buy Side Liquidity)
BSL represents the Buy Side Liquidity, where traders are expected to have their buy orders (usually stop-loss orders for short positions).
When the price reaches a swing high, traders who are short may have stop orders placed above this level. Once these levels are breached, the script identifies this as a liquidity area where stop orders get triggered, causing potential upward price movement.
The script marks the swing high with a "BSL" label and line to indicate this key resistance and liquidity zone.
SSL (Sell Side Liquidity)
SSL refers to the Sell Side Liquidity, where traders place sell orders (usually stop-loss orders for long positions).
Swing lows are important levels where traders holding long positions place their stop orders. When the price drops below a swing low, it triggers these sell orders, causing potential downward price movement.
The script marks the swing low with an "SSL" label and line, signaling this key support and liquidity zone.
In essence, BSL and SSL represent areas where liquidity is pooled, making them critical points in price action. These liquidity areas, when breached, often lead to aggressive price moves, allowing traders to anticipate trends.
[DarkTrader] Strong High LowThe Strong High Low indicator calculates strong high and low pivots based on price action and the Average True Range (ATR). The calculation for both the high and low pivots involves analyzing recent candle behavior to identify significant levels where price reversal is likely. Specifically, it looks for consecutive bearish or bullish candles to determine whether a strong high or low has been established.
Indicator In Use :
For strong highs, the indicator checks if three consecutive candles are bearish, meaning their closing price is lower than their opening price. It further examines prior candles to confirm that they followed a specific pattern where a reversal could occur. If one of these earlier candles closed higher than it opened, the indicator assumes that this was a strong high, and it records either the high of the second or third candle from the pattern, depending on their relationship to each other.
Similarly, for strong lows, the indicator searches for three consecutive bullish candles where the close is higher than the open. The algorithm then reviews prior candles in the sequence to ensure that the market condition supports a potential low pivot. If an earlier candle closes lower than it opens, it marks this as a strong low. The final low point for the pivot is chosen based on a comparison between the second and third candles of the pattern.
Once the high and low pivots are determined, the indicator adjusts these levels using the ATR value. The ATR is added to the strong high pivot and subtracted from the strong low pivot to create slightly modified levels. This helps accommodate market volatility by widening the range of the high and low pivots, making the levels more reliable in reflecting potential reversal zones.
Finally, the strong high and low pivot lines are drawn on the chart, extending both to the left and right of the current price, based on the user-defined offset values. These lines give a visual cue of where key resistance and support levels exist, with labels marking the exact pivot values for easy reference.

[DarkTrader] Intersection Level & PredictionLinear Regression Function Reference by @RicardoSantos :
The Intersection Level Calculation process identifies critical price levels where significant market reactions are expected. It starts by analyzing historical price action and technical indicators to pinpoint key support and resistance levels.
Price Forecast Min represents the predicted lowest price level that the asset might reach, while Price Forecast Max indicates the anticipated highest price level. These projections are calculated using statistical methods and historical price patterns, allowing traders to anticipate potential support and resistance zones. By providing these forecasts, traders can better manage their risk and set more informed entry and exit points based on projected price movements.
Example Of Prediction (Before & After)
Predicting Future Price Movements :
Once the intersection levels are identified, the indicator uses various predictive models to forecast what price might do next when it approaches these levels. Here’s a breakdown of how it achieves this :
Price Reaction Analysis: The indicator assesses how price has historically reacted to similar intersection levels. For instance, if price has reversed from a certain support level multiple times, the indicator can predict a potential reversal or bounce when price approaches that level again.
Trend Continuation or Reversal: It examines the strength of the current trend by analyzing momentum indicators, volume, and the angle or direction of trendlines. Based on this, it can predict whether price is likely to break through an intersection level, signaling trend continuation, or bounce off it, indicating a potential reversal.
Confluence of Factors: The prediction mechanism becomes more accurate when multiple factors converge at the same intersection level. For example, if a trendline, moving average, and support zone all intersect at the same price point, the indicator predicts a stronger likelihood of significant price movement.
Market Volatility and Momentum: The indicator also considers current market volatility and momentum in its prediction. For example, if price approaches an intersection level with high momentum, it might predict a breakout, whereas low momentum might suggest consolidation or a weaker price reaction.
In this indicator, I utilize Linear Regression to forecast price movements by analyzing historical data trends. Linear Regression involves fitting a straight line to past price data, enabling me to model and project future price levels based on identified trends. This method calculates a trend line that best represents the historical price behavior, providing a foundation for predicting future price points. By extending this trend line, I can estimate where prices might move, incorporating a range to account for potential deviations. This approach helps in identifying both minimum and maximum forecasted prices, offering valuable insights into potential market directions.
[DarkTrader] Liquidity Regression MapLinear Regression Function Reference by @RicardoSantos :
Liquidity Regression Map is an advanced indicator designed to assist traders in identifying key liquidity zones, reversals, and potential breakout areas within the market. By visualizing liquidity shifts and regression patterns, this tool provides a powerful visual guide to price movements that often go unnoticed by conventional indicators. The indicator's dynamic and adaptive approach helps traders better navigate complex market environments.
Purpose :
This indicator focuses on analyzing the behavior of liquidity in the market and mapping it out in a visual format on your TradingView charts. It provides a deeper understanding of where large clusters of liquidity exist, helping traders pinpoint potential areas where price is likely to react. It aims to highlight key liquidity zones and assess when price is likely to reverse or continue its trend, providing a comprehensive view of the market's internal structure.
Liquidity Regression Map supports multiple timeframes and multiple assets, providing traders with flexibility to analyze different market conditions. Whether you're analyzing short-term charts for scalping or higher timeframes for swing trades, the indicator adjusts its liquidity and regression calculations accordingly, ensuring accurate insights across all timeframes. Additionally, it is compatible with various asset classes, including stocks, forex, cryptocurrencies, and commodities, allowing you to apply the same powerful liquidity analysis across multiple markets for a unified trading strategy.
How It Works :
The indicator identifies liquidity zones by looking at the highs and lows of recent price action within a user-defined period, known as the lookback period. These zones represent areas where market participants are likely to have placed a significant number of stop orders or large positions, creating pockets of liquidity. The zones are visualized as levels on the chart, showing where the market is likely to react.
Next, the indicator performs a linear regression analysis on the price data. Linear regression helps smooth out the price action and gives an indication of the overall trend within the defined liquidity zone. This analysis is critical for determining the slope and direction of price movement, which provides insights into the market's momentum and strength in these liquidity areas.
A key feature of this indicator is its ability to detect liquidity swipes—sharp moves in price that sweep liquidity levels. When price approaches a liquidity zone and crosses it aggressively, the indicator highlights this as a swipe. Swipes often signal significant price reversals or trend continuation because they indicate that liquidity has been absorbed. The Akastra Liquidity Regression Map highlights these areas, helping traders anticipate where a reversal or continuation may occur.
As new price data comes in, the liquidity zones and regression lines dynamically adjust. This real-time update ensures that traders are always working with the most relevant and up-to-date liquidity information. The indicator recalculates the liquidity levels based on the recent highs and lows and repositions the regression lines accordingly. This makes it adaptive to both short-term volatility and long-term trends.
To make the analysis intuitive and easy to interpret, the liquidity levels are color-coded based on their strength and importance. Liquidity zones are shown using a gradient of colors, from weak liquidity (indicating potential minor reactions) to strong liquidity (where a significant price reaction is more likely). The heatmap visually communicates how liquidity is distributed across different levels and timeframes.
Liquidity Condition Filtering :
Another important aspect of the mechanism is the liquidity condition filtering, which only highlights significant liquidity shifts. The indicator evaluates if price movement meets certain thresholds, such as exceeding a 1.618 threshold for liquidity absorption or rejection . This filtering ensures that only the most relevant and impactful liquidity conditions are displayed, minimizing noise and false signals on the chart.
Finally, the indicator calculates and displays liquidity levels across multiple timeframes simultaneously, providing a more comprehensive view. For example, liquidity from a higher timeframe may interact with liquidity from a lower timeframe, providing traders with an overlapping view of where significant liquidity is concentrated. This multi-layer analysis helps to confirm trading setups and increases the probability of successful trades.
[DarkTrader] Range Level ProbabilityThis indicator calculates and visualizes significant price levels, such as swing highs, swing lows, and mid-price levels, using advanced mathematical functions and statistical methods. It aims to provide traders with insights into potential support and resistance areas by analyzing past price swings and their statistical properties.
Usage :
Identifying Support and Resistance: The projected swing high and swing low levels can act as potential support and resistance zones. Traders can use these levels to anticipate where the price might reverse or experience a pause in its movement.
Trend Analysis: By analyzing the mid-price level and its relationship to the swing high and low, traders can gain insights into the current market trend and potential price direction.
Customizing for Different Periods: Traders can adjust the input parameters, such as the period for calculating the mean and standard deviation, to tailor the indicator to different timeframes and market conditions.
Enhancing Trading Decisions: The indicator provides additional context for trading decisions by combining statistical analysis with visual projections, helping traders make more informed choices and manage risk effectively.
Key Features :
Statistical Analysis: The indicator utilizes statistical techniques to estimate the probability of future price movements. It calculates the likelihood of price reaching certain levels based on historical data, providing a probabilistic view of potential price targets.
Dynamic Range Calculation: It dynamically calculates important price levels based on a defined period. This period is adjustable, allowing traders to customize the indicator to fit different market conditions and trading strategies.
Customizable Appearance: Traders can customize the colors of the projected lines and labels, making it easier to distinguish between different levels and adjust the visual representation to their preferences.
Real-Time Updates: The indicator updates in real time with each new price bar, ensuring that the projected levels reflect the most current market conditions.
The indicator projects key price levels on the chart, including :
Swing High: The highest price level within a specified period.
Swing Low: The lowest price level within the same period.
Mid-Price: The average price between the swing high and swing low.
These levels are drawn as horizontal lines on the chart, extending into the future, which helps traders anticipate potential support and resistance zones.
[DarkTrader] Dynamic Level ProjectionThis indicator designed to enhance market analysis by projecting key price levels based on recent highs and lows. This script stands out by offering unique dynamic projections that are tailored to the latest market conditions, making it a valuable tool for both short-term and long-term traders.
Level Projection uses proprietary methods to dynamically project levels above and below recent price extremes. It employs two distinct scaling methods—Short Multiply (SM) and Long Multiply (LM)—to calculate these levels. The SM method is used to project resistance levels above recent highs, while the LM method projects support levels below recent lows. This approach ensures that the projected levels are responsive to current market trends and volatility.
How It Works :
The indicator analyzes recent market data to determine the highest and lowest prices over a customizable lookback period. Using the OHLC Lookback parameter, traders can set the duration for which these extreme prices are calculated. Based on these extremes, the indicator projects additional levels using the defined scaling methods. The result is a series of levels that help identify potential support and resistance zones in real time.
Customization Options :
Level Parameter: Defines the lengths for different projected levels.
OHLC Resolution: Selects the timeframe for OHLC data used in calculations.
Box Padding / Height: Controls the visual spacing of the projected levels on the chart.
Start Color and Extend Color: Customize the colors of the projected levels for better visual differentiation.
Real-Time Updates :
The indicator is designed to update in real-time, recalculating and redrawing levels with each new bar. This ensures that traders always see the most current projections and can make timely decisions based on the latest market data.
How to Use :
Traders should apply the indicator to their charts and customize the parameters according to their trading strategy. The projected levels will help in identifying potential support and resistance zones, which can be used to make informed trading decisions and manage risk effectively.

-----
What's the purpose of these levels? What are the underlying calculations?
1. Understanding Swing highs and Swing Lows
Swing High: A Swing High is formed when there is a high with 2 lower highs to the left and right.
Swing Low: A Swing Low is formed when there is a low with 2 higher lows to the left and right.
2. Understanding the purpose and the underlying calculations behind Buyside, Sellside and Pivot levels.
3. Identifying Discount and Premium Zones.
4. Importance of Risk-Reward in Premium and Discount Ranges
----
How does the script calculate probabilities?
The script calculates the probability of each liquidity level individually. Here's the breakdown:
1. Upon the formation of a new range, the script waits for the price to reach and tap into pivot level level. Status: "⏸" - Inactive
2. Once pivot level is tapped into, the pivot status becomes activated and it waits for either liquidity side to be hit. Status: "▶" - Active
3. If the buyside liquidity is hit, the script adds to the count of successful buyside liquidity occurrences. Similarly, if the sellside is tapped, it records successful sellside liquidity occurrences.
4. Finally, the number of successful occurrences for each side is divided by the overall count individually to calculate the range probabilities.
Note: The calculations are performed independently for each directional range. A range is considered bearish if the previous breakout was through a sellside liquidity. Conversely, a range is considered bullish if the most recent breakout was through a buyside liquidity.
----
What does the multi-timeframe functionality offer?
In the adjustable version of the orderflow indicator, you can incorporate up to 7 higher timeframe probabilities directly into the table.
This feature allows you to analyze the probabilities of buyside and sellside liquidity across multiple timeframes, without the need to manually switch between them.
By viewing these higher timeframe probabilities in one place, traders can spot larger market trends and refine their entries and exits with a better understanding of the overall market context.
This multi-timeframe functionality helps traders:
1. Simplify decision-making by offering a comprehensive view of multiple timeframes at once.
2. Identify confluence between timeframes, enhancing the confidence in trade setups.
3. Adapt strategies more effectively, as the higher timeframe pivot levels can be customized to meet individual preferences and goals.
----
What are the multi-timeframe underlying calculations?
The script uses the same calculations (mentioned above) and uses security function to request the data such as price levels, bar time, probabilities and booleans from the user-input timeframe.
----
How does the Indicator Identifies Positive Expected Values?
OrderFlow indicator instantly calculates whether a trade setup has the potential for positive expected value (EV) in the long run.
To determine a positive EV setup, the indicator uses the formula:
EV=(P(Win)×R(Win))−(P(Loss)×R(Loss))
where:
P(Win) is the probability of a winning trade.
R(Win) is the reward or return for a winning trade, determined by the current risk-to-reward ratio (RR).
P(Loss) is the probability of a losing trade.
R(Loss) is the loss incurred per losing trade, typically assumed to be -1.
By calculating these values based on historical data and the current trading setup, the indicator helps you understand whether your trade has a positive expected value over a large sample size.
----
How can I know that the setup I'm going to trade with has a postive EV?
If the indicator detects that the adjusted pivot and buy/sell side probabilities have generated positive expected value (EV) in historical data, the risk-to-reward (RR) label within the range box will be colored blue and red .
If the setup does not produce positive EV, the RR label will appear gray.
This indicates that even the risk-to-reward ratio is greater than 1:1, the setup is not likely to yield a positive EV because, according to historical data, the number of losses outweighs the number of wins relative to the RR gain per winning trade.
----
What is the confidence level in the indicator, and how is it determined?
The confidence level in the indicator reflects the reliability of the probabilities calculated based on historical data. It is determined by the sample size of the probabilities used in the calculations. A larger sample size generally increases the confidence level, indicating that the probabilities are more reliable and consistent with past performance.
----
How does the confidence level affect the risk-to-reward (RR) label?
The confidence level (★) is visually represented alongside the probability label. A higher confidence level indicates that the probabilities used to determine the RR label are based on a larger and more reliable sample size.
----
How can traders use the confidence level to make better trading decisions?
Traders can use the confidence level to gauge the reliability of the probabilities and expected value (EV) calculations provided by the indicator. A confidence level above 95% is considered statistically significant and indicates that the historical data supporting the probabilities is robust. This high confidence level suggests that the probabilities are reliable and that the indicator’s recommendations are more likely to be accurate.
In data science and statistics, a confidence level above 95% generally means that there is less than a 5% chance that the observed results are due to random variation. This threshold is widely accepted in research and industry as a marker of statistical significance. Studies such as those published in the Journal of Statistical Software and the American Statistical Association support this threshold, emphasizing that a confidence level above 95% provides a strong assurance of data reliability and validity.
Conversely, a confidence level below 95% indicates that the sample size may be insufficient and that the data might be less reliable . In such cases, traders should approach the indicator’s recommendations with caution and consider additional factors or further analysis before making trading decisions.
----
How does the sample size affect the confidence level, and how does it relate to my TradingView plan?
The sample size for calculating the confidence level is directly influenced by the amount of historical data available on your charts. A larger sample size typically leads to more reliable probabilities and higher confidence levels.
Here’s how the TradingView plans affect your data access:
Essential Plan
The Essential Plan provides basic data access with a limited amount of historical data. This can lead to smaller sample sizes and lower confidence levels, which may weaken the robustness of your probability calculations. Suitable for casual traders who do not require extensive historical analysis.
Plus Plan
The Plus Plan offers more historical data than the Essential Plan, allowing for larger sample sizes and more accurate confidence levels. This enhancement improves the reliability of indicator calculations. This plan is ideal for more active traders looking to refine their strategies with better data.
Premium Plan
The Premium Plan grants access to extensive historical data, enabling the largest sample sizes and the highest confidence levels. This plan provides the most reliable data for accurate calculations, with up to 20,000 historical bars available for analysis. It is designed for serious traders who need comprehensive data for in-depth market analysis.
PRO+ Plans
The PRO+ Plans offer the most extensive historical data, allowing for the largest sample sizes and the highest confidence levels. These plans are tailored for professional traders who require advanced features and significant historical data to support their trading strategies effectively.
For many traders, the Premium Plan offers a good balance of affordability and sufficient sample size for accurate confidence levels.

What is the HTF probability table and how does it work?
The HTF (Higher Time Frame) probability table is a feature that allows you to view buy and sellside probabilities and their status from timeframes higher than your current chart timeframe.
Here’s how it works:
Data Request : The table requests and retrieves data from user-defined higher timeframes (HTFs) that you select.
Probability Display: It displays the buy and sellside probabilities for each of these HTFs, providing insights into the likelihood of price movements based on higher timeframe data.
Detailed Tooltips: The table includes detailed tooltips for each timeframe, offering additional context and explanations to help you understand the data better.
----
What do the different colors in the HTF probability table indicate?
The colors in the HTF probability table provide visual cues about the expected value (EV) of trading setups based on higher timeframe probabilities:
Blue: Suggests that entering a long position from the HTF user-defined pivot point, targeting buyside liquidity, is likely to result in a positive expected value (EV) based on historical data and sample size.
Red: Indicates that entering a short position from the HTF user-defined pivot point, targeting sellside liquidity, is likely to result in a positive expected value (EV) based on historical data and sample size.
Gray: Shows that neither long nor short trades from the HTF user-defined pivot point are expected to generate positive EV, suggesting that trading these setups may not be favorable.
----
How to use the indicator effectively?
For Amateur Traders:
Start Simple: Begin by focusing on one timeframe at a time with the pivot level set to the default (50%). This helps you understand the basic functionality of the indicator.
Entry and Exit Strategy: Focus on entering trades at the pivot level while targeting the higher probability side for take profit and the lower probability side for stop loss.
Use simulation or paper trading to practice this strategy.
Adjustments: Once you have a solid understanding of how the indicator works, you can start adjusting the pivot level to other values that suit your strategy.
Ensure that the RR labels are colored (blue or red) to indicate positive EV setups before executing trades.
For Advanced Traders:
1. Select Higher Timeframe Bias: Choose a higher timeframe (HTF) as your main bias. Start with the default pivot level and ensure the confidence level is above 95% to validate the probabilities.
2. Align Lower Timeframes: Switch between lower timeframes to identify which ones align with your predefined HTF bias. This helps in synchronizing your trading decisions across different timeframes.
3. Set Entries with Current Pivot Level: Use the current pivot level for trade entries. Ensure the HTF status label is active, indicating that the probabilities are valid and in play.
4. Target HTF Liquidity Level: Aim for liquidity levels that correspond to the higher timeframe, as these levels are likely to offer better trading opportunities.
5. Adjust Pivot Levels: As you gain experience, adjust the pivot levels to further optimize your strategy for high EV. Fine-tune these levels based on the aggregated data from multiple timeframes.
6. Practice on Paper Trading: Test your strategies through paper trading to eliminate discretion and refine your approach without financial risk.
7. Focus on Trade Management: Ultimately, effective trade management is crucial. Concentrate on managing your trades well to ensure long-term success. By aiming for setups that produce positive EV, you can position yourself similarly to how a casino operates.

🎲 Becoming the House (Gaining Edge Over the Market):
In American roulette, the house has a 5.26% edge due to the 0 and 00. This means that while players have a 47.37% chance of winning on even-money bets, the true odds are 50%. The discrepancy between the true odds and the payout ensures that, statistically, the casino will win over time.
From the Trader's Perspective: In trading, you gain an edge by focusing on setups with positive expected value (EV). If you have a 55.48% chance of winning with a 1:1 risk-to-reward ratio, your setup has a higher probability of profitability than the losing side. By consistently targeting such setups and managing your trades effectively, you create a statistical advantage, similar to the casino’s edge.
----
🎰 Applying the Concept to Trading:
Just as casinos rely on their mathematical edge, you can achieve long-term success in trading by focusing on setups with positive EV. By ensuring that your probabilities and risk-to-reward (RR) ratios are in your favor, you create an edge similar to that of the house.
And by systematically targeting trades with favorable probabilities and managing your trades effectively, you improve your chances of profitability over the long run. Which is going to help you “become the house” in your trading, leveraging statistical advantages to enhance your overall performance.

Price Action Volumetric Order Blocks [UAlgo]"Price Action Volumetric Order Blocks" indicator aims to identify significant price zones in the market based on a combination of price action and volume analysis. It utilizes the concept of "Order Blocks," which are areas on the chart where large orders are believed to have been placed, influencing price behavior. By analyzing price swings and volume activity, the indicator attempts to highlight potential support and resistance levels.
🔶 Key Features
Swing Length: This input allows you to adjust the timeframe used to identify price swings for order block detection. A longer swing length will focus on larger timeframes and potentially capture stronger order blocks.
Show Last X Order Blocks: This controls the number of order blocks displayed on the chart. You can choose to visualize a specific number of the most recent order blocks.
Violation Check: This setting determines how the indicator identifies potential order block violations. You can choose between "Wick" or "Close" violations. A "Wick" violation occurs when the price (wick) extends beyond the order block boundaries, while a "Close" violation signifies that the closing price breaches the order block.
Hide Overlap: This option allows you to manage the display of overlapping order blocks. If set to "True," only non-overlapping order blocks will be shown, potentially offering a clearer visualization.
Colors: You can customize the color scheme for bullish (upward) and bearish (downward) order blocks to enhance visual clarity on the chart.
🔶 Interpreting the Indicator
Order Blocks: The teal-colored boxes represent bullish order blocks, indicating areas of demand where buying pressure is likely to be strong. Red-colored boxes represent bearish order blocks, indicating areas of supply where selling pressure is likely to be dominant. These zones often signal potential reversal points or consolidation areas.
Strength Calculations: The indicator calculates the relative strength of bullish and bearish blocks based on volume. A higher bullish strength indicates stronger buying pressure, while higher bearish strength suggests more selling pressure. Traders can use this information to gauge the strength of a price level and predict future price movements.
Market Structure Lines: The indicator displays horizontal lines to depict the current market structure, labeled as "MSB" (Market Sell Balance) or "BOS" (Break of Structure). These lines can help visualize the prevailing trend direction.
Order Block Violations: When a price wick or close breaches an order block (depending on the chosen violation type), the corresponding order block visualization is removed from the chart. This can signify a potential weakening of the identified support or resistance zone.

Change in State of Delivery CISD ICT [TradingFinder] Liquidity 1🔵 Introduction
🟣 What is CISD ?
Change in State of Delivery (CISD) is a key concept in technical analysis, similar to Change of Character (ChoCh) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Smart Money trading styles. Like ChoCh and MSS, CISD helps traders identify critical changes in market structure and make timely entries into trades.
To determine the CISD Level, traders typically review the last 1 to 4 candles to identify the first positive or negative candle. The CISD Level is then set using the opening price of the next candle.
In this version of the indicator, support and resistance levels are defined based on liquidity, which includes patterns such as SFP (Swing Failure Pattern), fake breakout, and false breakout.
Bullish CISD :
Bearish CISD :
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Bullish CISD (Change in State of Delivery Upward)
In Bullish CISD, the trend shifts from bearish to bullish after the price hits a liquidity zone, typically indicated by patterns such as SFP, fake breakout, or false breakout.
The steps to identify Bullish CISD are as follow s:
Identify the liquidity zone (SFP, fake breakout).
Review the candles and find the first positive candle.
Set the CISD Level using the opening price of the next candle after the positive candle.
Confirm the change in state of delivery when the price closes above the CISD Level.
Enter the trade after CISD confirmation.
🟣 Bearish CISD (Change in State of Delivery Downward)
In Bearish CISD, the trader looks for a shift from a bullish to a bearish trend. This change typically occurs when the price hits a liquidity level, indicated by patterns such as SFP or false breakout.
The steps to identify Bearish CISD are :
Identify the liquidity zone.
Review the candles and find the first negative candle.
Set the CISD Level using the opening price of the next candle after the negative candle.
Confirm the change in state of delivery when the price closes below the CISD Level.
Enter a short trade after CISD confirmation.
🟣 CISD Compared to ChoCh and MSS (CISD Vs ChoCh/ MSS)
CISD, ChoCh, and MSS are all tools for identifying trend changes in the market, but they have some differences :
CISD: Focuses on a change in the state of delivery and uses liquidity patterns (SFP, fake breakout) and key candles to confirm trend reversals.
ChoCh: Identifies a change in the market’s character, often signaling rapid shifts in trend direction.
MSS: Focuses on changes in market structure and identifies the breaking of key levels as a signal of trend shifts.
🔵 Settings
🟣 CISD Logical settings
Bar Back Check : Determining the return of candles to identify the CISD level.
CISD Level Validity : CISD level validity period based on the number of candles.
🟣 SFP Logical settings
Swing period : You can set the swing detection period.
Max Swing Back Method : It is in two modes "All" and "Custom". If it is in "All" mode, it will check all swings, and if it is in "Custom" mode, it will check the swings to the extent you determine.
Max Swing Back : You can set the number of swings that will go back for checking.
🟣 CISD Display settings
Displaying or not displaying swings and setting the color of labels and lines.
🟣 SFP Display settings
Displaying or not displaying swings and setting the color of labels and lines.
🔵 Conclusion
CISD is a powerful tool for identifying trend reversals using liquidity patterns and key candle analysis. Traders can use the CISD Level to detect trend changes and find optimal entry and exit points.
This concept is similar to ChoCh and MSS but stands out with its focus on confirming trend changes through liquidity and specific patterns. With the right approach, CISD helps traders capitalize on market movements more effectively.
