POC Sweep Reclaim [LuxAlgo]The POC Sweep Reclaim (PSR) model identifies a two-step "rejection then acceptance" price action pattern centered around the Point of Control (POC) of previous candles. By approximating volume-at-price data using lower timeframe (LTF) granularity, the tool highlights specific liquidity traps where price first fails to sustain a move beyond a high-volume level and subsequently reclaims it. The PSR framework is built on the logic that a "Sweep" represents a failed probe of value, while the "Reclaim" represents a successful breach, signaling a potential shift in market dominance as price moves away from trapped participants. 🔶 USAGE The indicator visualizes market microstructure dynamics through a sequence of two distinct events: 🔹 The Sweep (The Rejection) A sweep occurs when a candle's wick trades through the previous bar's POC, but the candle body fails to close beyond it. This identifies a "Liquidity Grab" where price interacts with a high-volume node but fails to find acceptance, often trapping breakout traders. Buyside Sweep: Price wicks above the previous POC but closes below it (Bearish Rejection). Sellside Sweep: Price wicks below the previous POC but closes above it (Bullish Rejection). 🔹 The Reclaim (The Acceptance) A reclaim occurs when the candle immediately following a sweep successfully closes beyond the same POC level that was just rejected. BSR (Buyside Reclaim): A bullish signal where price closes above a previously swept upper POC, suggesting the trap is resolved to the upside. SSR (Sellside Reclaim): A bearish signal where price closes below a previously swept lower POC, suggesting follow-through to the downside. 🔶 DETAILS The script aims to bridge the gap between standard OHLCV analysis and order-flow dynamics. While a true footprint engine (available on higher TradingView tiers) is more accurate, this script uses a proxy by aggregating volume from a lower timeframe (e.g., 1-minute) to estimate the POC of higher-timeframe bars. 🔹 Academic Intuition Order-Flow Imbalance (OFI): Short-term price changes are strongly linked to the inability of one side to provide enough depth. A "reclaim" reflects a shift where the dominant side successfully absorbs the liquidity that caused the initial rejection. Salient Prices: High-volume nodes like the POC act as psychological and mechanical barriers. Research indicates that liquidity clusters around these prominent prices, making them significant areas for support/resistance. Stop-Loss Cascades: Sweeps often interact with clustered stop-loss orders. If price reclaims the level after clearing these stops, it can trigger a directional move as the market "clears" the liquidity hurdle. 🔹 Practical Limitations Footprint Proxy: The POC is calculated by aggregating volume at the close of LTF bars. This is a noisy proxy compared to a true footprint, which tracks every tick. Data Snooping: Like all pattern-based indicators, the "Reclaim" logic should be verified with robust backtesting to ensure signals are not the result of random price noise. Repainting: Because the POC depends on LTF data, the values for the current developing bar may fluctuate until the candle closes. 🔶 SETTINGS Lower Timeframe for POC: Sets the granularity for volume aggregation. A lower value (like 1m) provides a more precise POC proxy. Show POC: Toggles the visibility of the calculated Point of Control dots for every bar. Show Sweep Dots: Displays markers at the POC level when a wick interaction occurs without a body close. Show BSR (Buyside Reclaim): Highlights candles that successfully close above a swept buyside POC. Show SSR (Sellside Reclaim): Highlights candles that successfully close below a swept sellside POC.

Protected Swings [LuxAlgo]The Protected Swings indicator identifies and confirms high-probability structural levels based on the interaction between liquidity sweeps, Fair Value Gaps (FVG), and Change in State of Delivery (CISD) logic. This tool aims to highlight "protected" highs and lows that are expected to remain intact during trend continuations or market reversals. 🔶 USAGE The Protected Swings tool is designed to provide clear invalidation levels for stop placement and to help traders avoid false reversals by waiting for candle-body confirmation through specific price series. 🔹 Trend Reversals A reversal setup occurs when the market sweeps a major liquidity level (such as a previous swing high or low) or taps into a high-timeframe FVG. A Protected Swing High (PSH) forms after a sweep of a high followed by a close below the opening price of the up-close candle series that created that high. This suggests a shift to a bearish regime. A Protected Swing Low (PSL) forms after a sweep of a low followed by a close above the opening price of the down-close candle series that created that low. This suggests a shift to a bullish regime. 🔹 Trend Continuation Once Protected Swings are established, subsequent "stepping stones" often form. In a bearish trend, new PSHs will form as price wicks into internal FVGs and then closes back below the candle series that created the retracement high. These levels serve as trailing stop-loss points or areas to look for refined lower-timeframe entries. 🔹 Entry Refinement Traders can use Protected Swings to refine Risk:Reward. When a higher-timeframe protected level is confirmed, users can drop to a lower timeframe and wait for a secondary protected swing to form. The "Confirmation Level" shown by the indicator represents the exact price point that must be breached to validate the "protected" status of that swing. 🔶 DETAILS The script follows a multi-step logic to confirm Protected Swings: 🔹 Liquidity Sweeps The indicator tracks structural pivots (Fractals) based on the "Sweep Sensitivity" setting. A sweep is detected only when the price wick exceeds a previous pivot high or low, but the candle body remains within the previous extreme. This "wick-only" break suggests liquidity is being grabbed (Stop Run) rather than a displacement break of structure occurring. 🔹 FVG Mitigations The script detects Fair Value Gaps (3-candle imbalances). If enabled, a swing point is considered a candidate for a Protected Swing if it trades into an active FVG, even if a liquidity sweep of a major pivot did not occur. 🔹 Change in State of Delivery (CISD) The core confirmation logic (CISD) requires the price to close through the "series." For a Bullish Protected Swing , the script identifies the series of consecutive down-close candles leading into the low. The opening price of the first candle in that down-series becomes the Confirmation Level. For a Bearish Protected Swing , it identifies the consecutive up-close candles. The opening price of the first candle in that up-series becomes the level. The labels (PSL/PSH) only appear once a candle body closes past this level, ensuring the "State of Delivery" has shifted. 🔶 SETTINGS 🔹 Logic Settings Sweep Sensitivity: Defines the number of bars required on both sides to confirm a structural pivot level to be used for detecting sweeps. Include FVG Mitigations: When enabled, swings that tap into imbalances can trigger protected swing labels. FVG Search Lookback: Determines how many bars back the script searches for active imbalances to use as context. 🔹 Visualization Show Labels: Toggles the PSL (Protected Swing Low) and PSH (Protected Swing High) labels. Show Confirmation Levels: Displays the horizontal lines representing the candle series opening price that triggered the confirmation. Show Fair Value Gaps: Visualizes active imbalances on the chart. Highlight Liquidity Sweeps: Highlights the specific portion of the wick that exceeded the previous structural pivot. Colors: Customization for bullish and bearish elements and transparency for zones.

HTF PO3 [LuxAlgo]The HTF PO3 indicator is a professional visualization tool designed to project Higher Timeframe (HTF) Power of 3 (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution) price action directly onto your current chart by "grid-locking" HTF candle structures to the price scale. 🔶 USAGE The indicator is primarily used by SMC (Smart Money Concepts) and Price Action traders to identify the state of a higher timeframe candle without switching charts. By projecting the HTF candle into the right margin, traders can observe the development of the Open, High, Low, and Close (OHLC) in real-time. 🔹 Mapping & Origin Lines A standout feature of this tool is the direct mapping system. Dashed lines originate from the exact lower timeframe (LTF) bars that established the HTF Open, High, and Low. This allows you to see precisely where the "Manipulation" (wick) and "Accumulation" (body) phases occurred within the HTF cycle. 🔹 Running Volume Delta Below each projected candle, the indicator displays the "Running Delta." This calculates the cumulative difference between buying and selling volume (based on bar polarity) throughout the HTF period, providing an extra layer of confluence for directional bias. 🔶 DETAILS The indicator is engineered to be "grid-locked" to the chart's native coordinate system. Unlike standard overlays that might appear to "float," this tool uses absolute price and bar index anchoring. Vertical Synchronization : The HTF candle wicks and bodies are tied to the Y-axis. If you stretch or compress the price scale, the projected candle scales perfectly in sync with your chart. Horizontal Anchoring : Mapping lines are pinned to the specific bar_index where levels were created, ensuring they stay "glued" to the correct candles even when scrolling or zooming. Projection Logic : The tool projects the current forming candle and a customizable number of previous candles into the future space (right offset), keeping your main workspace clean. 🔶 SETTINGS 🔹 Higher Timeframe Settings HTF Timeframe : Sets the timeframe for the projected candles (e.g., 60m, 4H, Daily). Candles to Show : Determines how many historical HTF candles are projected alongside the live one. Right Offset (Bars) : Controls how far into the right margin the projection is drawn. 🔹 Visual Style Bullish/Bearish Color : Customizes the colors for the HTF candle bodies and wicks. Live Body Transparency : Adjusts the opacity of the current developing candle. Show Price Labels : Toggles the visibility of the OHLC price tags next to the live projection. Show Running Delta : Toggles the cumulative volume delta display below the candles.

Linda Bradford Raschke's 80-20 Momentum Candlestick StrategyLinda Bradford Raschke's "80-20" strategy from "Street Smarts: High Probability Short-Term Trading Strategies" (co-authored with Laurence Connors). Core idea: Identify a strong "momentum candlestick" on daily (body ≥80% of range, shadows ≤20%) signaling potential reversal. Then on intraday TF, trade false breakouts: price breaks close ± threshold (e.g. 20 points), reverses back to close → enter counter-direction. - LONG: False downside break → revert up → buy at momentum close. - SHORT: False upside break → revert down → sell at momentum close. - Target: ~50% of momentum body (center). - SL: ATR-based or beyond momentum extremes. - Valid for 1-3 days post-momentum candle. Best for indices (S&P, Nasdaq), forex majors, volatile stocks. Use daily for detection, H1/M15 for entries. Not financial advice — Backtest thoroughly, use with discretion and proper risk management. Original concept: Street Smarts book + discussions (e.g., RoboForex blog, MQL5 articles). Open-source v6 — suggestions welcome!

CBC Flip with Targets and Filters [LuxAlgo]The CBC Flip with Targets and Filters indicator provides an institutional framework for identifying high-probability trend reversals based on the Candle By Candle (CBC) method. By combining structural price action with dynamic ATR targets, stop losses, and intraday value filtering, this tool offers a straightforward strategy for managing risk and executing trades based on shifts in market bias. 🔶 USAGE The Usage section describes how the script can be used to navigate market trends using price action confirmation and volatility-based levels. 🔹 Signal Identification Bullish and bearish triangles indicate confirmed trend flips. A bullish flip is detected when price closes above a previous high, while a bearish flip occurs when price closes below a previous low. These signals only appear after the bar closes to ensure non-repainting execution. 🔹 Strategic Filtering Align signals with intraday value by using the VWAP filter settings: Confirmation mode: Ensures you only take long signals above the VWAP and short signals below it. Contrarian mode: Used to identify potential mean-reversion opportunities when price flips against the current value area. 🔹 Risk Management Every flip generates dynamic target and stop loss lines based on a customizable Average True Range (ATR). The 'Require candle close to stop' feature allows users to choose between a hard touch of the stop level or waiting for a candle close to invalidate the bias. The script also includes retroactive outcome markers (circles and crosses) that appear on the signal candle to show whether the target or stop was reached first. A lack of symbol by the bullish or bearish triangles means neither the target nor stop loss criteria have been met. 🔹 Performance Verification Refer to the real-time dashboard to monitor current trade progress and historical hit rates. The Current Target Progress metric in the dashboard tracks how far price moved in the trade direction, helping you optimize your ATR multipliers and assess trend strength. 🔶 DETAILS 🔹 Institutional CBC Logic The Candle By Candle (CBC) methodology, popularized by maplestax, is a price action-centric approach that ignores minor fluctuations. By requiring a full candle close beyond the previous candle range, the script filters out wick rejections that often lead to false signals in volatile markets. 🔹 Non-Repainting Design The indicator is designed to be fully non-repainting. Signals and levels are calculated based on closed bars, ensuring that what you see on the chart is consistent with historical performance and real-time execution. 🔶 SETTINGS 🔹 Indicator Settings Bulls/Bears Color: Customizes the theme for bullish and bearish trend components. ATR Length: Sets the lookback period for volatility calculations. Target ATR Multiplier: Defines the distance of the profit target from the entry. Stop ATR Multiplier: Defines the distance of the stop loss from the entry. Require candle close to stop: When enabled, the stop loss is only triggered if a candle closes beyond the stop level. Show Daily Anchored VWAP: Toggles the visibility of the session-anchored VWAP. Filter Bias by VWAP: Choose between No Filter, Confirmation (Trend-following), or Contrarian (Mean-reversion). 🔹 Visuals Show Flip Labels: Toggles the entry triangle icons. Show Outcome Markers: Toggles the retroactive "X" and "Circle" markers on signal candles. Label Size: Adjusts the size of the on-chart icons. 🔹 Dashboard Dashboard: Toggles the performance metric table. Position/Size: Adjusts the UI location and scale. Historical Trade Count: Sets the sample size for the historical success rate calculation.

Institutional Order Flow Strength Classifier [LuxAlgo]The Institutional Order Flow Strength Classifier tool identifies and ranks unmitigated order blocks by analyzing the institutional intensity behind market structure breaks. It provides a percentage-based strength score for each zone, helping traders distinguish between minor price stalls and significant institutional supply/resistance areas. 🔶 USAGE The indicator automatically detects Order Blocks (OBs) formed during Market Structure Breaks (BOS). Unlike traditional OB tools that highlight every pivot, this script focuses on the "Institutional Footprint"—the specific area where big players positioned themselves before a significant move. 🔹 Interpreting Strength (%) The strength score (0-100%) indicates the level of institutional participation during the zone's creation. High Strength (>70%): Indicates massive displacement and high relative volume. These zones are high-probability areas for limit order entries as they represent significant "unfilled" interest. Medium Strength (40-70%): Indicates standard trend continuation zones, often useful for stop-loss placement or scaling into positions. Low Strength (<40%): Indicates zones with weak follow-through. These are often treated as "internal liquidity" and may be swept or ignored by price rather than providing a bounce. 🔹 Zonal Overlap Filtering To prevent chart clutter, the script features an advanced "Zonal Overlap" system. If multiple Order Blocks are created within the same price range, the indicator can hide the redundant zones, ensuring that only the most relevant level is visible. This helps traders focus on "confluence zones" where multiple institutional orders may be clustered. 🔹 Strongest OB Tracking The script includes a dynamic "Strongest OB" plot. This is a continuous filled background area that tracks the zone with the highest strength percentage within the user-defined buffer. While individual OBs are shown as dashed boxes, this solid plot highlights the single most significant institutional level currently influencing the market. 🔶 DETAILS The philosophy behind this script is that "not all Order Blocks are created equal." To classify them, the script uses a dual-metric weighted calculation: Displacement (60% weight): This measures the "expansion" or the distance price moved away from the OB relative to its size. A large move indicates a high imbalance between buyers and sellers, suggesting institutional urgency. Relative Volume (40% weight): This compares the volume of the candle that formed the OB to its 20-period average. High volume confirms that the move was backed by significant capital rather than low-liquidity volatility. The script identifies the OB by searching for the last opposite-colored candle (the "Institutional Footprint") before a break of a Pivot High or Pivot Low. Once price crosses the extreme side of the box (the bottom for bullish OBs or top for bearish OBs), the zone is marked as "mitigated" and removed from the display. 🔶 SETTINGS 🔹 Order Block Settings Pivot Lookback: The number of bars required to confirm a pivot high or low used for market structure detection. Max Unmitigated OBs: The maximum number of active zones displayed on the chart at once. 🔹 Visualization Bullish/Bearish OB Color: Sets the fill color for the detected Order Block boxes. Hide Overlapped Zones: When enabled, prevents multiple boxes from stacking in the same price area, showing only the most relevant one. Show Strength Labels: Toggles the percentage labels on the right side of the boxes. Show Strongest OB Plot: Enables the continuous filled background plot for the zone with the highest strength score. Strongest OB Buffer Size: Determines how many recent unmitigated zones the script should look through to find the strongest one.

Bernoulli Process: Trend Probability & Entropy [MarkitTick]💡 This technical indicator introduces a rigorous probabilistic framework to the evaluation of market regimes by modeling price fluctuations as a Bernoulli Process. Unlike traditional oscillators that merely measure the magnitude of price movement, this script treats every bar as a discrete "trial" that either succeeds or fails based on specific conditions—such as directional price action, momentum thresholds, or trend alignment. By applying Information Theory and the principles of Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE), the script quantifies not just the direction of the market, but the statistical reliability and the "noise" content of the current sequence. This allows traders to distinguish between a structured trend and high-entropy market "chop," providing a level of objective clarity often missing in standard technical analysis. ● ✨ Originality and Utility The primary innovation of this script lies in its transition from deterministic price tracking to stochastic regime modeling. Most indicators suffer from the "binary trap," where they simply tell a trader if price is above or below a level without assessing the statistical significance of that state. • Quantifying Market Information By integrating Shannon’s Binary Entropy, the script measures the uncertainty inherent in a price sequence. When entropy is near 1.0, the market is in a state of maximum uncertainty (effectively a fair coin toss), signaling that a trader should likely avoid the "noise." Conversely, low entropy values indicate a high-information state where one side of the Bernoulli trial is dominating, suggesting a persistent trend. • Adaptive Definition of Success The script is not limited to a single logic; it allows the user to define what constitutes a "Success" in the Bernoulli trial. Whether you prioritize raw price action (Close > Open), momentum (RSI > 50), or trend-following (Price > Moving Average), the underlying probabilistic engine remains consistent, making it a versatile tool for various trading styles. • Z-Score Significance Testing It applies a Central Limit Theorem (CLT) approximation to calculate a Z-Score. This tells the trader how many standard deviations the current trend is away from a random walk (p=0.5). This provides a mathematical filter to avoid entering "trends" that are actually within the bounds of statistical randomness. ● 🔬 Methodology and Concepts The script operates through a four-stage mathematical pipeline that converts raw market data into probabilistic metrics. • Stage 1: The Bernoulli Trial (I) The foundation is the indicator variable (I). On every bar, the script evaluates a boolean condition. If the condition is met, the trial is a "Success" (1.0); otherwise, it is a "Failure" (0.0). This transforms complex candles into a simple binary sequence: {1, 0, 1, 1, 0...}. • Stage 2: Probability Estimation (p-hat) Using a rolling window of length N, the script calculates the Maximum Likelihood Estimate (MLE) of the probability parameter 'p'. This is essentially the sample mean of the successes within the window. A value of 0.7 suggests that in the last N trials, 70% were successful. • Stage 3: Binary Entropy Calculation The script calculates Entropy H(p) using the formula: H(p) = -p * log2(p) - (1-p) * log2(1-p) This provides a metric for "Trend Quality." If p is 0.5 (random), H(p) is 1.0 (maximum noise). If p is 1.0 or 0.0 (perfect trend), H(p) is 0.0 (maximum order). • Stage 4: Volatility-Adjusted Z-Score To determine if a sequence is truly anomalous, the script calculates the standard deviation of a fair process and compares the observed deviations to this baseline. This identifies "Significant Trends" that are mathematically distinct from a 50/50 random distribution. ● 🎨 Visual Guide The visual interface is designed to communicate complex statistical data through intuitive color-coded cues. • The Bernoulli Probability Line The main plot is a continuous line representing the estimated probability (p). A value above 0.5 indicates a bullish bias (p-hat > 0.5). A value below 0.5 indicates a bearish bias (p-hat < 0.5). • Dynamic Entropy Coloring The line does not just change color based on direction; it changes based on certainty. Vibrant Green: Strong bullish trend with low entropy (High Certainty). Vibrant Red: Strong bearish trend with low entropy (High Certainty). Gray/Faded Color: High entropy regime (Entropy > 0.9). This signals that the market is "choppy" and the probability of success is too close to random to be reliable. • Background Entropy Zones The chart background highlights areas of "Max Entropy" in a subtle gray color. When you see these zones, it suggests the current Bernoulli definition is failing to find a directional edge, signaling a period of market consolidation. • Real-Time Metrics Dashboard A table in the top-right corner displays: Probability (p): The exact decimal value of the current trend probability. Entropy (Bits): The current level of uncertainty in the sequence. Regime: A text-based label identifying the market state (Bull Trend, Bear Trend, or Noise/Chop). • Execution Signals Small triangles appear on the chart to mark high-probability transition points. A Triangle Up (Green) marks a bullish breakout from a low-entropy state, while a Triangle Down (Red) marks a bearish breakdown. ● 📖 How to Use • Identifying Low-Noise Entries Traders should look for instances where the Probability Line crosses the 0.5 threshold while Entropy is low (vibrant colors). If the line is gray, the "trend" lacks statistical significance, and the risk of a whip-saw is high. • Regime Filtering Use the indicator as a "Mode Filter." If the Dashboard displays "NOISE / CHOP," it is a signal to stay flat or use mean-reversion strategies. If it displays a "TREND" regime, trend-following strategies can be deployed with higher confidence. • Interpreting the Z-Score While not directly plotted, the Z-Score logic powers the signal generation. A signal is only produced when the deviation from the "Fair Coin" (0.5) is substantial enough to suggest a non-random event. ● ⚙️ Inputs and Settings • Bernoulli Trial Definition Choose between three calculation modes: Price Action: Uses the relationship between Close and Open (Directional bars). Momentum: Uses RSI relative to the 50-level (Standard momentum). Trend: Uses Price relative to a Simple Moving Average (Long-term regime). • Sample Window (N) Determines the "lookback" for the probability calculation. Smaller values (e.g., 10-15) are more responsive but noisier; larger values (e.g., 30-50) provide a smoother, more institutional view of the regime. • Risk Management (Alerts) Target R:R Ratio: Used to calculate the Take Profit level in the JSON alerts. Stop ATR Multiplier: Uses Average True Range to calculate a volatility-adjusted stop loss for signals. ● 🔍 Deconstruction of the Underlying Scientific and Academic Framework The "Bernoulli Process: Trend Probability & Entropy" script is built upon the pillars of Discrete Stochastic Processes and Information Theory. • The Law of Large Numbers (LLN) The script relies on the LLN, which states that as a sample size grows, its mean gets closer to the average of the whole population. By using a "Sample Window," we are performing a rolling MLE of the true underlying probability parameter of the market at that moment. • Shannon Entropy and Information Theory Claude Shannon’s 1948 work on information entropy is the bedrock of the "Noise" detection in this script. In the context of trading, entropy represents the "surprise" or "uncertainty" in the price sequence. A low-entropy market is one where the next bar's success/failure is highly predictable based on the recent past, which is the mathematical definition of a trend. • Bernoulli vs. Gaussian Distributions Most indicators assume a Normal (Gaussian) distribution of price returns. However, market states are often better modeled as discrete outcomes (Up/Down). By treating the market as a Bernoulli Process, we bypass the "fat-tail" problem of Gaussian distributions and focus purely on the frequency of successful outcomes, making the tool more robust against outliers. • The Z-Test for Proportions By applying a Z-score calculation to a Bernoulli distribution, the script treats the market like a "biased coin" experiment. It tests the Null Hypothesis ($H_0$): "The market is a fair coin (p=0.5)." When the Z-score is high, we reject $H_0$ in favor of the Alternative Hypothesis ($H_1$): "The market is trending (p != 0.5)." ⚠️ Disclaimer All provided scripts and indicators are strictly for educational exploration and must not be interpreted as financial advice or a recommendation to execute trades.

Broadening Formation + Failed 2 CandlesThis indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to identify potential trend reversals at the boundaries of Broadening Formations (BF). It combines structural pivot analysis with the "Failed 2" candle pattern (a variation of an outside-bar or stop-run reversal) to highlight zones of technical alignment. How it Works 1. Structural Detection (Broadening Formations) The script identifies market structure using pivot-based logic: * Auto Mode: Dynamically identifies Pivot Highs and Pivot Lows to plot the upper and lower boundaries of a broadening range. * Manual Mode: Allows users to input specific price levels for fixed horizontal support and resistance.

 2. The "Failed 2" Reversal Pattern The script looks for specific price action exhaustion at the boundaries: * Failed 2 Down (Long): Occurs when a candle creates a New Low (taking out the previous candle's low) but reverses to close higher than its open (Bullish). * Failed 2 Up (Short): Occurs when a candle creates a New High (taking out the previous candle's high) but reverses to close lower than its open (Bearish). 3. Proximity Filtering The Proximity Engine acts as a filter. A label will appear and will only be valid if the price is within a user-defined threshold of the BF lines. Users can define this "strike zone" via: * Percent / Points / Ticks: Static distance from the level. * ATR Multiple: Volatility-adjusted distance, ensuring the zone expands or contracts based on current market conditions. Key Features * On-chart Visualization of Stop and Target Reference Levels: On-chart plotting of Stop Loss and Profit Targets (Target modes include Opposing BF Line, 50% Range, or Fixed Amount). * Real-Time Statistics: An on-screen dashboard tracks Win Rate, Hit/Fail counts, and Risk-to-Reward ratios for the last N bars. Statistics reflect historical signal outcomes only and do not predict future performance. * Visual Customization: Fully adjustable markers, line styles, and table positioning to fit any chart layout. * Alerts: Integrated alert functionality for Long and Short triggers. Usage Note This tool is intended to help identify structural exhaustion. Like all technical indicators, it is most effective when used in conjunction with other forms of analysis (such as volume or higher-timeframe trend context). It does not constitute financial advice.

Photon Price Action Scanner [JOAT]Photon Price Action Scanner - Multi-Pattern Recognition with Adaptive Filtering Introduction and Purpose Photon Price Action Scanner is an open-source overlay indicator that automates the detection of 15+ candlestick patterns while filtering them through multiple confirmation layers. The core problem this indicator solves is pattern noise: raw candlestick pattern detection produces too many signals, most of which fail because they lack context. This indicator addresses that by combining pattern recognition with trend alignment, volume-weighted strength scoring, velocity confirmation, and an adaptive neural bias filter. The combination of these components is not arbitrary. Each filter addresses a specific weakness in standalone pattern detection: Trend alignment ensures patterns appear in favorable market structure Volume-weighted strength filters out weak patterns with low conviction Velocity confirmation identifies momentum behind the pattern Neural bias filter adapts to recent price behavior to avoid counter-trend signals What Makes This Indicator Original While candlestick pattern scanners exist, this indicator's originality comes from: 1. Multi-Layer Filtering System - Patterns must pass through trend, strength, velocity, and neural bias filters before generating signals. This dramatically reduces false positives compared to simple pattern detection. 2. Adaptive Neural Bias Filter - A custom momentum-adjusted EMA that learns from recent price action using a configurable learning rate. This is not a standard moving average but an adaptive filter that accelerates during trends and smooths during consolidation. 3. Pattern Strength Scoring - Each pattern receives a strength score based on volume ratio and body size, allowing traders to focus on high-conviction setups rather than every pattern occurrence. 4. Smart Cooldown System - Prevents signal overlap by enforcing minimum bar spacing between pattern labels, keeping charts clean even when "Show All Patterns" is enabled. How the Components Work Together Step 1: Pattern Detection The indicator scans for 15 candlestick patterns using precise mathematical definitions: // Example: Bullish Engulfing requires the current bullish candle to completely // engulf the previous bearish candle with a larger body isBullishEngulfing() => bool pattern = close < open and close > open and open <= close and close >= open and close - open > open - close pattern // Example: Three White Soldiers requires three consecutive bullish candles // with each opening within the previous body and closing higher isThreeWhiteSoldiers() => bool pattern = close > open and close > open and close > open and close < close and close < close and open > open and open < close and open > open and open < close pattern Step 2: Strength Calculation Each detected pattern receives a strength score combining volume and body size: float volRatio = avgVolume > 0 ? volume / avgVolume : 1.0 float bodySize = math.abs(close - open) / close float baseStrength = (volRatio + bodySize * 100) / 2 This ensures patterns with above-average volume and large bodies score higher than weak patterns on low volume. Step 3: Trend Alignment Patterns are checked against the trend direction using an EMA: float trendEMA = ta.ema(close, i_trendPeriod) int trendDir = close > trendEMA ? 1 : close < trendEMA ? -1 : 0 Bullish patterns in uptrends and bearish patterns in downtrends receive priority. Step 4: Neural Bias Filter The adaptive filter uses a momentum-adjusted EMA that responds to price changes: neuralEMA(series float src, simple int period, simple float lr) => var float neuralValue = na var float momentum = 0.0 if na(neuralValue) neuralValue := src float error = src - neuralValue float adjustment = error * lr momentum := momentum * 0.9 + adjustment * 0.1 neuralValue := neuralValue + adjustment + momentum neuralValue The learning rate (lr) controls how quickly the filter adapts. Higher values make it more responsive; lower values make it smoother. Step 5: Velocity Confirmation Price velocity (rate of change) must exceed the average velocity for strong signals: float velocity = ta.roc(close, i_trendPeriod) float avgVelocity = ta.sma(velocity, i_trendPeriod) bool velocityBull = velocity > avgVelocity * 1.5 Step 6: Signal Classification Signals are classified based on how many filters they pass: Strong Pattern : Pattern + strength threshold + trend alignment + neural bias + velocity Ultra Pattern : Strong pattern + gap in same direction + velocity confirmation Watch Pattern : Pattern detected but not all filters passed Detected Patterns Classic Reversal Patterns: Bullish/Bearish Engulfing - Complete body engulfment with larger body Hammer - Long lower wick (2x body), small upper wick, bullish context Shooting Star - Long upper wick (2x body), small lower wick, bearish context Morning Star - Three-bar bullish reversal with small middle body Evening Star - Three-bar bearish reversal with small middle body Piercing Line - Bullish candle closing above midpoint of previous bearish candle Dark Cloud Cover - Bearish candle closing below midpoint of previous bullish candle Bullish/Bearish Harami - Small body contained within previous larger body Doji - Body less than 10% of total range (indecision) Advanced Patterns (Optional): Three White Soldiers - Three consecutive bullish candles with rising closes Three Black Crows - Three consecutive bearish candles with falling closes Tweezer Top - Equal highs with reversal candle structure Tweezer Bottom - Equal lows with reversal candle structure Island Reversal - Gap isolation creating reversal structure Dashboard Information The dashboard displays real-time analysis: Pattern - Current detected pattern name or "SCANNING..." Bull/Bear Strength - Volume-weighted strength scores Trend - UPTREND, DOWNTREND, or SIDEWAYS based on EMA RSI - 14-period RSI for momentum context Momentum - 10-period momentum reading Volatility - ATR as percentage of price Neural Bias - BULLISH, BEARISH, or NEUTRAL from adaptive filter Action - ULTRA BUY/SELL, BUY/SELL, WATCH BUY/SELL, or WAIT Visual Elements Pattern Labels - Abbreviated codes (BE=Engulfing, H=Hammer, MS=Morning Star, etc.) Neural Bias Line - Adaptive trend line showing filter direction Gap Boxes - Cyan boxes highlighting price gaps Action Zones - Dashed boxes around strong pattern areas Velocity Markers - Small circles when velocity confirms direction Ultra Signals - Large labels for highest conviction setups How to Use This Indicator For Reversal Trading: 1. Wait for a pattern to appear at a key support/resistance level 2. Check that the Action shows "BUY" or "SELL" (not just "WATCH") 3. Confirm the Neural Bias aligns with your trade direction 4. Use the strength score to gauge conviction (higher is better) For Trend Continuation: 1. Identify the trend using the Trend row in the dashboard 2. Look for patterns that align with the trend (bullish patterns in uptrends) 3. Ultra signals indicate the strongest continuation setups For Filtering Noise: 1. Keep "Show All Patterns" disabled to see only filtered signals 2. Increase "Pattern Strength Filter" to see fewer, higher-quality patterns 3. Enable "Velocity Confirmation" to require momentum behind patterns Input Parameters Scan Sensitivity (1.0) - Overall detection sensitivity multiplier Pattern Strength Filter (3) - Minimum strength score for strong signals Trend Period (20) - EMA period for trend determination Show All Patterns (false) - Display all patterns regardless of filters Advanced Patterns (true) - Enable soldiers/crows/tweezer detection Gap Analysis (true) - Enable gap detection and boxes Velocity Confirmation (true) - Require velocity for strong signals Neural Bias Filter (true) - Enable adaptive trend filter Neural Period (50) - Lookback for neural bias calculation Neural Learning Rate (0.12) - Adaptation speed (0.01-0.5) Timeframe Recommendations 1H-4H: Best balance of signal frequency and reliability Daily: Fewer but more significant patterns 15m-30m: More signals, requires tighter filtering (increase strength threshold) Limitations Pattern detection is mechanical and does not consider fundamental context Neural bias filter may lag during rapid trend reversals Gap detection requires clean price data without after-hours gaps Strength scoring favors high-volume patterns, which may miss valid low-volume setups - Made with passion by officialjackofalltrades

Candle 2 Closure [LuxAlgo]The Candle 2 Closure tool detects a specific reversal pattern on the chart spanning four bars. The first bar trades into a key price level. The second bar trades outside the first bar's range, but closes inside, indicating a reversal. The third bar closes outside the second bar's range, in the direction of the reversal, creating a price expansion. The fourth bar is a continuation of prices in that same direction. This tool features key levels, equilibrium zones, and real-time alarms upon confirmation of the second and third candles of the pattern. This specific part of the more complete Fractal model by TTrades was requested by a lot of you. We are happy to bring it to you and wish you a merry Christmas! 🔶 USAGE This pattern is a TTrades concept: a reversal setup that is very easy to understand. It occurs when the current bar trades outside of the previous bar's range, but closes inside it. In other words, traders try to push prices outside of the previous bar's range, but fail. This is considered a reversal, meaning that traders encountered opposing forces that overwhelmed them. Thus, the expectation is that prices will trade in the new direction, changing the market bias from bullish to bearish, or vice versa. Let's look at the example in the chart, where the four candles of this setup are marked. Note that we have selected a perfect setup, where all conditions are met. Candle 1: This bar traded into a key price area at the top of the range, spanning several months. Candle 2: This bar traded outside the range of Candle 1, but failed to close outside. This is the reversal. Candle 3: The wick of this bar formed at or below the equilibrium zone of Candle 2, and it closed outside the range of Candle 2. This is the expansion. Candle 4: At this point, the setup is complete, and the expectation for this candle is that it will trade in the same direction. The top of the candle is at or below the equilibrium zone of Candle 3. This is the continuation. In a strong setup, the top or bottom of the next bar will form inside the equilibrium zone defined by the highlighted areas on candles 2 and 3. This is a perfect bearish setup, featuring all elements. Not all setups will be like this, but when this setup occurs, it is important for traders to be aware of it. The tool is highly customizable from the settings panel and features real-time alerts at candle 2 and 3 confirmations. Now, let's take a broader view of the same chart. We have disabled the display of candle 2 and filtered the setups with a length of 50. As we can see, most of the last 17 setups found on the EUR/USD daily chart lead to multi-day or multi-month price movements. 🔹 Filtering Reversals The tool features a reversals filter that is disabled by default. This filter allows us to filter out minor reversals and display only those that are important. Traders can adjust the length parameter to display reversals only at the top or bottom of the last N specified bars. We can see some examples in the chart. 🔹 Wick Threshold From the settings panel, traders can fine-tune the equilibrium zone for candle 2. If the wick exceeds the threshold expressed as a percentage of the total bar range, the equilibrium zone will be calculated based only on the wick. In all other cases, the full bar range will be used. 🔶 SETTINGS Candle 2 (Reversal): Enable or disable Candle 2 reversals. Candle 3 (Expansion): Enable or disable Candle 3 expansions. Reversals Filter: Filter reversals as the highest or lowest of the last N bars. Wick Threshold %: Filter wicks as percentage of total bar range. 🔹 Style Bullish Color: Select bullish color. Bearish Color: Select bearish color. Transparency: Select the transparency level. 0 is solid and 100 is fully transparent. Levels: Enable or disable the horizontal levels. Candle 2 Zone: Enable or disable the Candle 2 equilibrium zones. Candle 3 Zone: Enable or disable the Candle 3 equilibrium zones. 🔹 Alerts Candle 2 Alerts: Enable or disable Candle 2 alerts. Candle 3 Alerts: Enable or disable Candle 3 alerts.

SMA MAD Trend [Alpha Extract]A sophisticated trend identification system that combines Simple Moving Average with Mean Absolute Deviation methodology to create adaptive Super Trend-style bands with advanced strength filtering and gradient visualization. Utilizing ADX-based trend strength validation and slope analysis for signal quality enhancement, this indicator delivers institutional-grade trend detection with dynamic ATR-based ribbon visualization and comprehensive strength measurement. The system's dual-filter architecture eliminates false signals during weak or choppy market conditions while maintaining sensitivity to genuine trend establishment and reversal events. 🔶 Advanced SMA-MAD Band Construction Implements innovative Mean Absolute Deviation calculation around Simple Moving Average baseline to create volatility-adaptive bands with ratcheting logic for trend persistence. The system calculates MAD by measuring absolute price deviations from the mean, then applies configurable multipliers to generate upper and lower bands that adjust to changing market conditions while preventing premature band violations. // Core SMA-MAD Framework SMA_Value = ta.sma(close, SMA_Length) Mean = ta.sma(close, MAD_Length) Abs_Deviation = abs(close - Mean) MAD_Value = ta.sma(Abs_Deviation, MAD_Length) // Adaptive Bands Upper_Band = SMA_Value + MAD_Factor * MAD_Value Lower_Band = SMA_Value - MAD_Factor * MAD_Value 🔶 Intelligent Dual-Filter System Features comprehensive trend validation using ADX strength measurement and slope analysis to eliminate low-conviction signals during ranging or consolidating markets. The system calculates normalized slope strength using ATR scaling and combines with ADX threshold analysis, generating filtered trend states that distinguish genuine trends from temporary price fluctuations. 🔶 Dynamic Trend Strength Engine Implements sophisticated strength calculation combining slope intensity and ADX readings to produce normalized 0-100% strength scores with gradient colour intensity modulation. The system normalizes slope by minimum threshold and ADX by configurable level, multiplying factors to create composite strength measurement that drives visual feedback intensity across all indicator elements. 🔶 Super Trend-Style Direction Logic Utilizes classic Super Trend methodology adapted for SMA-MAD bands, where trend direction flips occur on opposite band violations with persistent state maintenance. The system tracks previous band levels with ratcheting behaviour that adjusts bands only when price movement or new calculations warrant changes, preventing oscillation during normal volatility. 🔶 ATR-Based Ribbon Visualization Provides dynamic ribbon overlay using ATR-scaled width around the trend line with opacity modulation based on trend strength for intuitive conviction assessment. The system creates upper and lower ribbon bounds at configurable ATR multiples, filling the channel with gradient-adjusted transparency that increases during strong trends and fades during weak conditions. 🔶 Multi-Dimensional Visual Architecture Provides complete chart integration through trend line overlay, ATR ribbon fills, candle colouring, background glow, and transition signal labels with configurable visibility toggles. The system enables traders to customize display density from minimal (trend line only) to comprehensive (all visual elements) while maintaining consistent colour scheme and strength-based intensity across components. 🔶 Slope Strength Validation Calculates ATR-normalized slope over configurable lookback periods to measure trend line momentum and filter sideways price action. The system compares absolute slope against minimum threshold requirements, preventing trend signals when price movement relative to the trend line lacks sufficient directional conviction regardless of band position. 🔶 Signal Generation Framework Generates trend change signals when filtered direction state transitions from bearish to bullish or vice versa, with label placement and alert integration. The system implements state persistence that maintains previous trend until both ADX and slope filters confirm directional change, reducing whipsaw signals while capturing genuine reversals with minimal lag. 🔶 Performance Optimization Framework Utilizes efficient calculation methods with optimized variable management and configurable parameters for balance between responsiveness and stability. The system includes intelligent state tracking with NA handling for initial bars and smooth gradient calculations that maintain performance across extended historical periods and real-time updates. This indicator delivers sophisticated trend identification through Mean Absolute Deviation methodology combined with dual-strength filtering for superior signal quality. Unlike traditional Super Trend indicators that rely solely on ATR bands, the SMA-MAD approach uses statistical deviation measurement while incorporating ADX strength and slope validation to eliminate false signals during choppy conditions. The system's gradient-based visual feedback, ATR ribbon visualization, comprehensive dashboard, and multi-dimensional filtering make it essential for traders seeking reliable trend-following approaches with clear conviction measurement across cryptocurrency, forex, and equity markets. The combination of adaptive bands, strength-based transparency, and intelligent filtering creates an institutional-grade trend system suitable for systematic trading strategies.

Liquidity Sweep Sniper AP StyleAP Capital – Liquidity Sweep Sniper (Fab-Style) 📌 Overview This indicator is a precision scalping tool inspired by professional liquidity-based trading concepts often demonstrated by elite intraday scalpers. The script focuses on liquidity sweeps followed by strong displacement, aiming to capture short, high-probability momentum moves — particularly effective on lower timeframes (1–5 min) during active market sessions. It is not a signal spam tool. Signals appear only when multiple objective conditions align. 🧠 Core Concept Markets do not move randomly — they seek liquidity before expanding. This indicator identifies: Buy-side / Sell-side liquidity Liquidity sweeps (stop-hunts) Strong displacement candles reclaiming price Optional higher-timeframe trend alignment Only when all conditions are met does a signal print. 🔍 What the Indicator Detects 1️⃣ Liquidity Pools Equal highs or equal lows detected within a configurable lookback Minimum number of touches required ATR-based tolerance to adapt to volatility These levels represent areas where stop orders are likely resting. 2️⃣ Liquidity Sweep A valid sweep requires: Price to wick beyond the liquidity level Candle to close back inside the range This indicates failed breakout / stop-hunt behaviour. 3️⃣ Displacement Confirmation After the sweep, the candle must show: Strong body (default >60% of candle range) Candle range large relative to ATR Clear directional intent (momentum) This filters out weak reactions and chop. 4️⃣ Optional Trend Filter EMA-based higher-timeframe bias Helps align scalps with dominant direction Can be enabled or disabled 📈 Signals BUY: Sell-side liquidity sweep → bullish displacement SELL: Buy-side liquidity sweep → bearish displacement Signals are plotted directly on the chart and can be used with alerts. ⚙️ Recommended Usage Markets: XAUUSD, indices, liquid FX pairs Timeframes: 1m–5m Sessions: London & New York (best performance) Risk Management: Always required — this tool does not place trades Best used as a confirmation tool, not standalone. ⚠️ Important Notes This indicator is inspired by liquidity-based scalping concepts, not an exact replication of any individual trader’s private strategy. No indicator predicts the future — this tool highlights high-probability scenarios, not guarantees. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

PRICE ACTION TRAKKERThis indicator isolates the core price-phase engine from the full Price Action Tracker (PAT) system. It identifies and visualises structural phases of price, including: Upper phase boundary (dynamic resistance) Lower phase boundary (dynamic support) Phase average (mean-reversion anchor) Pivot markers (LPH, LPL, oLPH, oLPL) The phase engine dynamically adapts to evolving market structure using pivot behaviour and structural breaks. This creates a real-time visual map of how price is organising itself — independent of time-based indicators and without the lag associated with classical moving averages. This version focuses exclusively on price action structure, making it clean, fast, and ideal as a core tool on its own. However, it is also designed as a foundation for more advanced analysis and will expand over time as additional modules are released. This phase engine works exceptionally well in combination with my other indicators, such as moving-average structure tools, volume-weighted frameworks, and trend-strength models. Together, they provide a layered view of market behaviour: phase structure → trend bias → volume confirmation → entry logic. This makes the indicator valuable for: Intra-day and swing traders Wyckoff and liquidity-based traders Mean-reversion and range-trading strategies Understanding where accumulation/distribution behaviour is forming Identifying when a phase is likely ending or breaking Future updates will add modular expansion paths (trend scoring, VWAP phase weighting, multi-phase confluence, and signal logic), while maintaining the simplicity and reliability of this core engine. Works Best With: This indicator is part of a broader toolkit designed to analyse structure, trend, and behaviour. When used alongside my other published tools — such as trend-strength MAs, VWMA frameworks, and higher-timeframe bias indicators — it provides a complete, multi-layered view of market conditions.

VOLX+ VWAP Range BandsVOLX+ plots multiple VWAP-weighted high/low channels across different lookback periods to show how price behaves relative to short-term and long-term value zones. Instead of using a single VWAP line, this tool creates four rolling VWAP envelopes: Short-term range (fast reaction) Mid-term range Mid-mid range (transitional layer) Long-term range (macro context) Each band is computed as: VWAP-High = SMA(high × volume, length) ÷ SMA(volume, length) VWAP-Low = SMA(low × volume, length) ÷ SMA(volume, length) This produces dynamic price channels that account for both price and traded volume, offering a clearer sense of where the market is accepting or rejecting value. What It Shows Four VWAP-weighted high/low bands A short-term VWAP midline Price line Three SMAs for trend context Optional visibility switches for each VWAP band The filled regions between VWAP highs and lows create a layered “value map,” helping you interpret: Trend continuation (price hugging outer VWAP bands) Mean reversion (price returning toward inner bands) Volatility contraction/expansion Shifts in short-term vs long-term balance 🧠 How to Use Use the short-term band for day-trading context or detecting short-term excess. Use mid-term and mid-mid bands to confirm developing structure. Use the long-term VWAP band to understand broader value zones. Combine VWAP bands with SMAs and structure analysis for confluence. This indicator is intended for price interpretation and analytical support. ✔ Does Not Repaint The script uses rolling VWAP formulas and standard MAs; everything is stable and non-repainting.

Liquidation Heatmap [Alpha Extract]A sophisticated liquidity zone visualization system that identifies and maps potential liquidation levels based on swing point analysis with volume-weighted intensity measurement and gradient heatmap coloring. Utilizing pivot-based pocket detection and ATR-scaled zone heights, this indicator delivers institutional-grade liquidity mapping with dynamic color intensity reflecting relative liquidity concentration. The system's dual-swing detection architecture combined with configurable weight metrics creates comprehensive liquidation level identification suitable for strategic position planning and market structure analysis. 🔶 Advanced Pivot-Based Pocket Detection Implements dual swing width analysis to identify potential liquidation zones at pivot highs and lows with configurable lookback periods for comprehensive level coverage. The system detects primary swing points using main pivot width and optional secondary swing detection for increased pocket density, creating layered liquidity maps that capture both major and minor liquidation levels across extended price history. 🔶 Multi-Metric Weight Calculation Engine Features flexible weight source selection including Volume, Range (high-low spread), and Volume × Range composite metrics for liquidity intensity measurement. The system calculates pocket weights based on market activity at pivot formation, enabling traders to identify which liquidation levels represent higher concentration of potential stops and liquidations with configurable minimum weight thresholds for noise filtering. 🔶 ATR-Based Zone Height Framework Utilizes Average True Range calculations with percentage-based multipliers to determine pocket vertical dimensions that adapt to market volatility conditions. The system creates ATR-scaled bands above swing highs for short liquidation zones and below swing lows for long liquidation zones, ensuring zone heights remain proportional to current market volatility for accurate level representation. 🔶 Dynamic Gradient Heatmap Visualization Implements sophisticated color gradient system that maps pocket weights to intensity scales, creating intuitive visual representation of relative liquidity concentration. The system applies power-law transformation with configurable contrast adjustment to enhance differentiation between weak and strong liquidity pockets, using cyan-to-blue gradients for long liquidations and yellow-to-orange for short liquidations. 🔶 Intelligent Pocket State Management Features advanced pocket tracking system that monitors price interaction with liquidation zones and updates pocket states dynamically. The system detects when price trades through pocket midpoints, marking them as "hit" with optional preservation or removal, and manages pocket extension for untouched levels with configurable forward projection to maintain visibility of approaching liquidity zones. 🔶 Real-Time Liquidity Scale Display Provides gradient legend showing min-max range of pocket weights with 24-segment color bar for instant liquidity intensity reference. The system positions the scale at chart edge with volume-formatted labels, enabling traders to quickly assess relative strength of visible liquidation pockets without numerical clutter on the main chart area. 🔶 Touched Pocket Border System Implements visual confirmation of executed liquidations through border highlighting when price trades through pocket zones. The system applies configurable transparency to touched pocket borders with inverted slider logic (lower values fade borders, higher values emphasize them), providing clear historical record of liquidated levels while maintaining focus on active untouched pockets. 🔶 Dual-Swing Density Enhancement Features optional secondary swing width parameter that creates additional pocket layer with tighter pivot detection for increased liquidation level density. The system runs parallel pivot detection at both primary and secondary swing widths, populating chart with comprehensive liquidity mapping that captures both major swing liquidations and intermediate level clusters. 🔶 Adaptive Pocket Extension Framework Utilizes intelligent time-based extension that projects untouched pockets forward by configurable bar count, maintaining visibility as price approaches potential liquidation zones. The system freezes touched pocket right edges at hit timestamps while extending active pockets dynamically, creating clear distinction between historical liquidations and forward-projected active levels. 🔶 Weight-Based Label Integration Provides floating labels on untouched pockets displaying volume-formatted weight values with dynamic positioning that follows pocket extension. The system automatically manages label lifecycle, creating labels for new pockets, updating positions as pockets extend, and removing labels when pockets are touched, ensuring clean chart presentation with relevant liquidity information. 🔶 Performance Optimization Framework Implements efficient array management with automatic clean-up of old pockets beyond lookback period and optimized box/label deletion to maintain smooth performance. The system includes configurable maximum object counts (500 boxes, 50 labels, 100 lines) with intelligent removal of oldest elements when limits are approached, ensuring consistent operation across extended timeframes. This indicator delivers sophisticated liquidity zone analysis through pivot-based detection and volume-weighted intensity measurement with intuitive heatmap visualization. Unlike simple support/resistance indicators, the Liquidation Heatmap combines swing point identification with market activity metrics to identify where concentrated liquidations are likely to occur, while the gradient color system instantly communicates relative liquidity strength. The system's dual-swing architecture, configurable weight metrics, ATR-adaptive zone heights, and intelligent state management make it essential for traders seeking strategic position planning around institutional liquidity levels across cryptocurrency, forex, and futures markets.
