Path of Least ResistancePath of Least Resistance (PLR)
Concept Overview
The Path of Least Resistance indicator identifies key zones on your chart that act like "muddy" or "sticky" areas where price tends to get bogged down, creating choppy and unpredictable price action. Between these zones lie the "empty spaces" - clear paths where price can move freely with momentum and direction.
The Analogy: Muddy Fields vs Open Roads
Think of your chart like a landscape:
🟫 ZONES (Muddy/Sticky Areas)
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) from higher timeframes
Pivot wick zones from higher timeframe pivots
Areas where price gets "stuck" and churns
Like walking through thick mud - slow, choppy, unpredictable movement
Price action becomes erratic and difficult to trade
🟢 EMPTY SPACES (Open Roads)
The clear areas between zones
Where price can move freely with momentum
Like driving on an open highway - smooth, directional movement
The "Path of Least Resistance" for price movement
Trading Philosophy
AVOID Trading Within Zones:
Price action is typically choppy and unpredictable
Higher probability of false signals and whipsaws
Like trying to drive through mud - you'll get stuck
TRADE Through the Empty Spaces:
Look for moves that travel between zones
Price tends to move with momentum and direction
Higher probability setups with cleaner price action
Like taking the highway instead of back roads
Zone Types Detected
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
Imbalances from higher timeframe candles
Areas where price "owes" a return visit
Often act as magnets, creating choppy price action
Pivot Wick Zones
Upper and lower wicks from higher timeframe pivots
Rejection areas where price previously struggled
Often create resistance/support that leads to choppy movement
Color Coding System
The zones dynamically change color based on current price position:
🔴 RED ZONES : Price is below the zone (bearish context)
🟢 GREEN ZONES : Price is above the zone (bullish context)
🔘 GRAY ZONES : Price is within the zone (neutral/choppy area)
The "Mum Trades" Strategy
The best trades - what we call "Mum trades" (trades so obvious even your mum could spot them) - happen in the empty spaces between zones:
✅ High Probability Characteristics:
Clear directional movement between zones
Less noise and false signals
Higher momentum and follow-through
Cleaner technical patterns
❌ Avoid These Areas:
Trading within the muddy zones
Expecting clean moves through sticky areas
Fighting against the natural flow of price
Key Features
Auto Timeframe Detection : Automatically selects appropriate higher timeframe
Dynamic Zone Management : Overlapping zones are automatically cleaned up
Real-time Alerts : Get notified when price enters/exits zones
Visual Clarity : Clean zone display with extending boundaries
How to Use
Identify the Zones : Let the indicator mark the muddy areas
Find the Paths : Look for clear spaces between zones
Plan Your Trades : Target moves that travel through empty space
Avoid the Mud : Stay away from trading within the zones
Follow the Flow : Trade with the path of least resistance
Remember
Price, like water, always seeks the path of least resistance. By identifying where that path is clear (empty spaces) versus where it's obstructed (zones), you can align your trading with the natural flow of the market rather than fighting against it.
The goal is simple: Trade the highways, avoid the mud.

Volume pressure by GSK-VIZAG-AP-INDIA🔍 Volume Pressure by GSK-VIZAG-AP-INDIA
🧠 Overview
“Volume Pressure” is a multi-timeframe, real-time table-based volume analysis tool designed to give traders a clear and immediate view of buying and selling pressure across custom-selected timeframes. By breaking down buy volume, sell volume, total volume, and their percentages, this indicator helps traders identify demand/supply imbalances and volume momentum in the market.
🎯 Purpose / Trading Use Case
This indicator is ideal for intraday and short-term traders who want to:
Spot aggressive buying or selling activity
Track volume dynamics across multiple timeframes *1 min time frame will give best results*
Use volume pressure as a confirming tool alongside price action or trend-based systems
It helps determine when large buying/selling activity is occurring and whether such behavior is consistent across timeframes—a strong signal of institutional interest or volume-driven trend shifts.
🧩 Key Features & Logic
Real-Time Table Display: A clean, dynamic table showing:
Buy Volume
Sell Volume
Total Volume
Buy % of total volume
Sell % of total volume
Multi-Time frame Analysis: Supports 8 user-selectable custom time frames from 1 to 240 minutes, giving flexibility to analyze volume pressure at various granularities.
Color-Coded Volume Bias:
Green for dominant Buy pressure
Red for dominant Sell pressure
Yellow for Neutral
Intensity-based blinking for extreme values (over 70%)
Dynamic Data Calculation:
Uses volume * (close > open) logic to estimate buy vs sell volumes bar-by-bar, then aggregates by timeframe.
⚙️ User Inputs & Settings
Timeframe Selectors (TF1 to TF8): Choose any 8 timeframes you want to monitor volume pressure across.
Text & Color Settings:
Customize text colors for Buy, Sell, Total volumes
Choose Buy/Sell bias colors

FVG (Nephew sam remake)Hello i am making my own FVG script inspired by Nephew Sam as his fvg code is not open source. My goal is to replicate his Script and then add in alerts and more functions. Thus, i spent few days trying to code. There is bugs such as lower time frame not showing higher time frame FVG.
This script automatically detects and visualizes Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) — imbalances between demand and supply — across multiple timeframes (15-minute, 1-hour, and 4-hour).
15m chart shows:
15m FVGs (green/red boxes)
1H FVGs (lime/maroon)
4H FVGs (faded green/red with borders) (Bugged For now i only see 1H appearing)
1H chart shows:
1H FVGs
4H FVGs
4H chart shows:
4H FVGs only
There is the function to auto close FVG when a future candle fully disrespected it.
You're welcome to:
🔧 Customize the appearance: adjust box colors, transparency, border style
🧪 Add alerts: e.g., when price enters or fills a gap
📅 Expand to Daily/Weekly: just copy the logic and plug in "D" or "W" as new layers
📈 Build confluence logic: combine this with order blocks, liquidity zones, or ICT concepts
🧠 Experiment with entry signals: e.g., candle confirmation on return to FVG
🚀 Improve performance: if you find a lighter way to track gaps, feel free to optimize!
RSI - SECUNDARIO - mauricioofsousaSecondary RSI – MGO
Reading the rhythm behind the price action
The Secondary RSI is a specialized oscillator developed as part of the MGO (Matriz Gráficos ON) methodology. It works as a refined strength filter, designed to complement traditional RSI readings by isolating the true internal rhythm of price action and reducing the influence of market noise.
While the standard RSI measures price momentum, the Secondary RSI focuses on identifying breaks in oscillatory balance—the moments when the market shifts from accumulation to distribution or from compression to expansion.
🎯 What the Secondary RSI highlights:
Internal imbalances in energy between buyers and sellers
Micro-divergences not visible on standard RSI
Areas of price fatigue or overextension that often precede reversals
Confirmation zones for MGO oscillatory events (RPA, RPB, RBA, RBB)
📊 Recommended use:
Combine with the Primary RSI for dual-layer validation
Use as a noise-reduction tool before entering trends
Ideal in medium timeframes (12H / 4H) where oscillatory patterns form clearly
🧠 How it works:
The Secondary RSI recalculates the momentum signal using a block-based interpretation (aligned with the MGO structure) instead of simply following raw candle data. It adapts to the periodic nature of price behavior and provides the trader with a more stable and reliable measure of true market strength.
UT Bot + Cooldown + Visual FVGSynopsis – UT Bot + Cooldown + Visual FVG
This TradingView script combines:
✅ UT Bot Reversal Signals
Based on ATR and volatility logic
BUY when trend flips from bearish to bullish
SELL when trend flips from bullish to bearish
✅ Cooldown Filter
Limits signals to 1 per X bars (default 30)
Prevents overtrading during choppy price action
✅ Optional FVG Markers (Fair Value Gaps)
Visually shows bullish or bearish imbalances (3-bar gaps)
Does not affect signal generation — only for confluence
🔍 Ideal for traders who want clean, time-filtered signals with visual price-action context. Suitable for futures, crypto, or forex on intraday charts.
Bull vs Bear Volume (Enhanced)Bull vs Bear Volume (Enhanced) is a custom volume histogram that separates and visualizes estimated buying vs. selling volume within each candle. This allows traders to better understand market sentiment and detect imbalances in demand and supply.
🔍 What It Does:
Plots bullish volume (green) above the x-axis and bearish volume (red) below.
Estimates bull/bear volume by analyzing the close location within the candle's range.
Highlights volume spikes with lime (bullish) or maroon (bearish) when volume exceeds a user-defined threshold.
Includes an optional total volume line for added context.
Supports smoothing via simple moving average (SMA) to reduce noise.
🛠️ Inputs:
Toggle smoothing and set its length.
Enable/disable threshold spike highlighting.
Show/hide the total volume overlay.
Adjust the threshold multiplier for spike detection.
⚠️ Important:
This script uses a proxy method based on candle structure to estimate volume split — it does not use real-time order flow or trade direction data.
Works best on liquid assets with consistent volume.
CRT Finder (WanHakimFX)📈 Liquidity Grab Indicator with MTF Confluence & Alerts
🔍 Overview:
The Liquidity Grab Indicator is designed to detect precise moments when price sweeps liquidity — either by wicking below recent lows (bullish LQH) or above recent highs (bearish LQL) — followed by a clear rejection. It combines this logic with multi-timeframe confirmation and trend filters, making it a powerful tool for identifying high-probability reversal setups.
⚙️ How It Works:
✅ Liquidity Sweep Logic (LQH / LQL)
Bullish (LQH):
Current candle wicks below the previous low
Closes above the previous candle body
Confirms potential bullish reversal
Bearish (LQL):
Current candle wicks above the previous high
Closes below the previous candle body
Confirms potential bearish reversal
✅ Additional Conditions:
Must occur during London or New York sessions.
Requires trend confluence:
LQH = Price must be above SMMA 60/100/200
LQL = Price must be below SMMA 60/100/200
🧠 Multi-Timeframe Confluence:
The indicator scans for LQH/LQL sweeps across:
Daily
4H
1H
30M
15M
If a sweep occurs on any of these timeframes, an alert is triggered and a triangle marker appears on the chart for real-time visual confluence.
📊 Visual Features:
Green/Red labels for active timeframe sweeps.
Dotted wick lines to show liquidity zones from the previous candle.
Colored triangle markers for MTF sweep alerts.
🛠 Strategy Usage:
This indicator is best used as a trigger tool in a confluence-based strategy:
Use higher-timeframe MTF LQH/LQL markers for directional bias.
Wait for matching sweep on your entry timeframe (e.g., M1/M5).
Enter on confirmation candle or break of structure.
Target imbalances, FVGs, or previous highs/lows.
Risk-managed entries using sweep candle's high/low as stop.
📢 Alerts:
✅ Bullish Sweep (LQH) on any timeframe
✅ Bearish Sweep (LQL) on any timeframe
FVG [TakingProphets]🧠 Purpose
This indicator is built for traders applying Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. It detects and manages Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) — price imbalances that often act as future reaction zones. It also highlights New Day Opening Gaps (NDOGs) and New Week Opening Gaps (NWOGs) that frequently play a role in early-session price behavior.
📚 What is a Fair Value Gap?
A Fair Value Gap forms when price moves rapidly, skipping over a portion of the chart between three candles — typically between the high of the first candle and the low of the third. These zones are considered inefficient, meaning institutions may return to them later to:
-Rebalance unfilled orders
-Enter or scale into positions
-Engineer liquidity with minimal slippage
In ICT methodology, FVGs are seen as both entry zones and targets, depending on market structure and context.
⚙️ How It Works
-This script automatically identifies and manages valid FVGs using the following logic:
-Bullish FVGs: When the low of the current candle is above the high from two candles ago
-Bearish FVGs: When the high of the current candle is below the body of two candles ago
-Minimum Gap Filter: Gaps must be larger than 0.05% of price
-Combine Consecutive Gaps (optional): Merges adjacent gaps of the same type
-Consequent Encroachment Line (optional): Plots the midpoint of each gap
-NDOG/NWOG Tracking: Labels gaps created during the 5–6 PM session transition
-Automatic Invalidation: Gaps are removed once price closes beyond their boundary
🎯 Practical Use
-Use unmitigated FVGs as potential entry points or targets
-Monitor NDOG and NWOG for context around daily or weekly opens
-Apply the midpoint (encroachment) line for precise execution decisions
-Let the script handle cleanup — only active, relevant zones remain visible
🎨 Customization
-Control colors for bullish, bearish, and opening gaps
-Toggle FVG borders and midpoint lines
-Enable or disable combining of consecutive gaps
-Fully automated zone management, no manual intervention required
✅ Summary
This tool offers a clear, rules-based approach to identifying price inefficiencies rooted in ICT methodology. Whether used for intraday or swing trading, it helps traders stay focused on valid, active Fair Value Gaps while filtering out noise and maintaining chart clarity.
US30 Smart Money 5M/4H Strategy🧠 How It Works
✅ 1. 4H Trend Bias Detection
Uses the 4-hour chart (internally) to determine if the market is in an uptrend or downtrend.
Background turns green for bullish trend, red for bearish trend.
This helps filter trades — only take longs during uptrend, shorts during downtrend.
✅ 2. Liquidity Sweeps (Stop Hunts) on 5M
Highlights candles that break previous highs/lows and then reverse (typical of institutional stop raids).
Draws a shaded red box above sweep-high candles and green box under sweep-lows.
These indicate key reversal zones.
✅ 3. Order Block Zones
Detects bullish/bearish engulfing patterns after liquidity sweeps.
Draws a supply or demand zone box extending forward.
These zones show where institutions likely placed large orders.
✅ 4. FVG Midpoint from 30-Min Chart
Detects Fair Value Gaps (imbalances) on the 30-minute chart.
Plots a line at the midpoint of the gap (EQ level), which is often revisited for entries or rejections.
✅ 5. Buy/Sell Signals (Non-Repainting)
Buy = 4H uptrend + 5M liquidity sweep low + bullish engulfing candle.
Sell = 4H downtrend + 5M liquidity sweep high + bearish engulfing.
Prints green “BUY” or red “SELL” label on the chart — these do not repaint.
📈 How to Use It
Wait for trend bias — only take trades in the direction of the 4H trend.
Watch for liquidity sweep boxes — these hint a stop hunt just occurred.
Look for a signal label (BUY/SELL) — confirms entry criteria.
Use FVG EQ lines & Order Block zones as confluence or targets.
Take trades after NY open (9:30 AM EST) for best momentum.
London ORB + Session High/Low + FVGLondon ORB + Session High/Low + FVG
📘 Script Description: London ORB + Session High/Low + Fair Value Gap
This script is designed to assist intraday traders during the London session open by combining:
🕒 1. Opening Range Breakout (ORB)
Captures the high and low of the first 15-minute candle after the London open (08:00–08:15 GMT).
Draws lines and labels for the ORB High and Low levels.
Detects breakouts above or below the ORB and plots a triangle signal at the breakout bar.
🌐 2. Asian & US Session Levels
Automatically marks the highs and lows of the Asian (00:00–06:00 GMT) and US (13:30–20:00 GMT) sessions.
Useful for identifying prior session liquidity zones, key support/resistance levels, and potential reaction areas.
📉 3. Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Highlights imbalances in price action between non-overlapping candles (also known as FVGs or inefficiencies).
Draws a shaded box between candles where gaps exist:
Green for bullish FVGs
Red for bearish FVGs
🔔 4. Alert Support
Optional alerts are built in for:
Long breakout (price breaks above ORB)
Short breakout (price breaks below ORB)
🎯 Use Case
Perfect for:
Day traders looking to capitalize on early volatility at the London open
Traders using liquidity-based strategies, retests, or gap-fills
Visualizing and aligning with prior session highs/lows for structure and context
ADX Divergence and Gap Monitor [theUltimator5]ADX Divergence and Gap Monitor is a custom technical analysis tool designed to visualize momentum imbalances and sudden shifts in trend participation using the ADX system. It combines traditional ADX, DI+ and DI− calculations with dynamic filtering and visual highlighting to help identify key moments of directional acceleration or weakening.
🔍 What It Does:
This indicator builds on the Average Directional Index (ADX) system to detect conditions where market trend strength diverges significantly from directional input (DI) activity. It includes two major visual signals:
Highlight Backgrounds
These appear when the indicator detects a “gap” or sudden acceleration in DI values while ADX remains low, suggesting early-stage momentum bursts or signal noise spikes.
The trigger threshold for DI change can be adjusted using the Gap Trigger Level input.
A background highlight is shown when DI+ or DI− increases sharply, either from a low-ADX environment or from a rapid standalone spike.
GAP Markers
Optional yellow label markers display the word "GAP" just below the lowest line (ADX, DI+, or DI−) whenever a gap condition is triggered. These provide a more noticeable visual cue without crowding the chart.
You can enable or disable the markers with the Show GAP Markers toggle.
🧠 Advanced Divergence Detection:
The script also scans for dominant ADX divergence events, where ADX is significantly higher than DI+ or DI−, indicating strong trend force with weak directional participation. When these conditions are met:
Red or green background fills appear depending on whether DI+ or DI− is being overpowered.
These conditions are based on customizable moving averages and DI strength relationships.
⚙️ Key Inputs:
ADX Length: Period for ADX calculation
DI Moving Average: Smoothing length for directional index signals
Gap Trigger Level: Minimum DI change needed to trigger a GAP highlight
Show Highlight Backgrounds: Toggle to display or hide background signals
Show GAP Markers: Toggle to show or hide text-based GAP labels
🧪 Use Cases:
Spot early breakouts or reversals when DI activity spikes while ADX is still low
Identify periods of trend exhaustion or false breakouts using divergence logic
Confirm trade entry points when ADX begins to rise after a GAP event

[TehThomas] - ICT Inversion Fair value Gap (IFVG) The Inversion Fair Value Gap (IFVG) indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders who utilize ICT (Inner Circle Trader) strategies. It focuses on identifying and displaying Inversion Fair Value Gaps, which are critical zones that emerge when traditional Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are invalidated by price action. These gaps represent key areas where price often reacts, making them essential for identifying potential reversals, trend continuations, and liquidity zones.
What Are Inversion Fair Value Gaps?
Inversion Fair Value Gaps occur when price revisits a traditional FVG and breaks through it, effectively flipping its role in the market. For example:
A bullish FVG that is invalidated becomes a bearish zone, often acting as resistance.
A bearish FVG that is invalidated transforms into a bullish zone, serving as support.
These gaps are significant because they often align with institutional trading activity. They highlight areas where large orders have been executed or where liquidity has been targeted. Understanding these gaps provides traders with a deeper insight into market structure and helps them anticipate future price movements with greater accuracy.
Why This Strategy Works
The IFVG concept is rooted in ICT principles, which emphasize liquidity dynamics, market inefficiencies, and institutional order flow. Traditional FVGs represent imbalances in price action caused by gaps between candles. When these gaps are invalidated, they become inversion zones that can act as magnets for price. These zones frequently serve as high-probability areas for price reversals or trend continuations.
This strategy works because it aligns with how institutional traders operate. Inversion gaps often mark areas of interest for "smart money," making them reliable indicators of potential market turning points. By focusing on these zones, traders can align their strategies with institutional behavior and improve their overall trading edge.
How the Indicator Works
This indicator simplifies the process of identifying and tracking IFVGs by automating their detection and visualization on the chart. It scans the chart in real-time to identify bullish and bearish FVGs that meet user-defined thresholds for inversion. Once identified, these gaps are dynamically displayed on the chart with distinct colors for bullish and bearish zones.
The indicator also tracks whether these gaps are mitigated or broken by price action. When an IFVG is broken, it extends the zone for a user-defined number of bars to visualize its potential role as a new support or resistance level. Additionally, alerts can be enabled to notify traders when new IFVGs form or when existing ones are broken, ensuring timely decision-making in fast-moving markets.
Key Features
Automatic Detection: The indicator automatically identifies bullish and bearish IFVGs based on user-defined thresholds.
Dynamic Visualization: It displays IFVGs directly on the chart with customizable colors for easy differentiation.
Real-Time Updates: The status of each IFVG is updated dynamically based on price action.
Zone Extensions: Broken IFVGs are extended to visualize their potential as support or resistance levels.
Alerts: Notifications can be set up to alert traders when key events occur, such as the formation or breaking of an IFVG.
These features make the tool highly efficient and reduce the need for manual analysis, allowing traders to focus on execution rather than tedious chart work.
Benefits of Using This Indicator
The IFVG indicator offers several advantages that make it an indispensable tool for ICT traders. By automating the detection of inversion gaps, it saves time and reduces errors in analysis. The clearly defined zones improve risk management by providing precise entry points, stop-loss levels, and profit targets based on market structure.
This tool is also highly versatile and adapts seamlessly across different timeframes. Whether you’re scalping lower timeframes or swing trading higher ones, it provides actionable insights tailored to your trading style. Furthermore, by aligning your strategy with institutional logic, you gain a significant edge in anticipating market movements.
Practical Applications
This indicator can be used across various trading styles:
Scalping: Identify quick reversal points on lower timeframes using real-time alerts.
Day Trading: Use inversion gaps as key levels for intraday support/resistance or trend continuation setups.
Swing Trading: Analyse higher timeframes to identify major inversion zones that could act as critical turning points in larger trends.
By integrating this tool into your trading routine, you can streamline your analysis process and focus on executing high-probability setups.
Conclusion
The Inversion Fair Value Gap (IFVG) indicator is more than just a technical analysis tool—it’s a strategic ally for traders looking to refine their edge in the markets. By automating the detection and tracking of inversion gaps based on ICT principles, it simplifies complex market analysis while maintaining accuracy and depth. Whether you’re new to ICT strategies or an experienced trader seeking greater precision, this indicator will elevate your trading game by aligning your approach with institutional behavior.
If you’re serious about improving your trading results while saving time and effort, this tool is an essential addition to your toolkit. It provides clarity in chaotic markets, enhances precision in trade execution, and ensures you never miss critical opportunities in your trading journey.

On Balance VolumeThe traditional OBV (On-Balance Volume) indicator line chart has been replaced with a candlestick-based OBV chart, offering a more granular and visually comprehensive approach to volume-price analysis. This transformation allows traders to analyze OBV fluctuations in the form of candlestick patterns, making it easier to identify critical price action signals such as support and resistance levels, breakouts, and breakdowns.
By integrating OBV candlesticks with the price chart, traders can better assess volume accumulation and distribution phases, detect divergences, and confirm trend strength. This enhanced visualization helps in identifying momentum shifts, liquidity imbalances, and institutional activity with greater accuracy. The OBV candlestick chart provides a deeper layer of market structure analysis, allowing price action traders to refine their strategies and improve trade execution based on real-time volume dynamics."
Volume Buy/Sell ChartVolume Buy/Sell Chart
This script visualizes the distribution of buying and selling volume within each candlestick, helping traders identify dominant market pressure at a glance. It separates volume into Buy Volume (Green) and Sell Volume (Red) using a unique calculation based on price movement within a candle.
Features:
✅ Customizable Bar Display: Choose to display 5, 10, or 100 bars using a simple dropdown selection.
✅ Buy & Sell Volume Calculation: The script determines buying and selling volume dynamically based on price action within the candle.
✅ Custom Volume Threshold for Alerts: Set a percentage threshold (0–100) to trigger alerts when buy or sell volume exceeds a predefined level.
✅ Color-Coded Histogram:
Green Bars: Represent the estimated buy volume.
Red Bars: Represent the estimated sell volume.

Wyckoff Event Detection [Alpha Extract]Wyckoff Event Detection
A powerful and intelligent indicator designed to detect key Wyckoff events in real time, helping traders analyze market structure and anticipate potential trend shifts. Using volume and price action, this script automatically identifies distribution and accumulation phases, providing traders with valuable insights into market behavior.
🔶 Phase-Based Detection
Utilizes a phase detection algorithm that evaluates price and volume conditions to identify accumulation (bullish) and distribution (bearish) events. This method ensures the script effectively captures major market turning points and avoids noise.
🔶 Multi-Factor Event Recognition
Incorporates multiple event conditions, including upthrusts, selling climaxes, and springs, to detect high-probability entry and exit points. Each event is filtered through customizable sensitivity settings, ensuring precise detection aligned with different trading styles.
🔶 Customizable Parameters
Fine-tune event detection with adjustable thresholds for volume, price movement, trend strength, and event spacing. These inputs allow traders to personalize the script to match their strategy and risk tolerance.
// === USER INPUTS ===
i_volLen = input.int(20, "Volume MA Length", minval=1)
i_priceLookback = input.int(20, "Price Pattern Lookback", minval=5)
i_lineLength = input.int(15, "Line Length", minval=5)
i_labelSpacing = input.int(5, "Minimum Label Spacing (bars)", minval=1, maxval=20)
❓How It Works
🔶 Event Identification
The script scans for key Wyckoff events by analyzing volume spikes, price deviations, and trend shifts within a user-defined lookback period. It categorizes events into bullish (accumulation) or bearish (distribution) structures and plots them directly on the chart.
// === EVENT DETECTION ===
volMA = ta.sma(volume, i_volLen)
highestHigh = ta.highest(high, i_priceLookback)
lowestLow = ta.lowest(low, i_priceLookback)
🔶 Automatic Filtering & Cleanup
Unconfirmed or weak signals are filtered out using customizable strength multipliers and volume thresholds. Events that do not meet the minimum conditions are discarded to keep the chart clean and informative.
🔶 Phase Strength Analysis
The script continuously tracks bullish and bearish event counts to determine whether the market is currently in an accumulation, distribution, or neutral phase. This allows traders to align their strategies accordingly.
🔶 Visual Alerts & Labels
Detects and labels key Wyckoff events directly on the chart, providing immediate insights into market conditions:
- PSY (Preliminary Supply) and UT (Upthrust) for distribution phases.
- PS (Preliminary Support) and SC (Selling Climax) for accumulation phases.
- Labels adjust dynamically to avoid chart clutter and improve readability.
🔶 Entry & Exit Optimization
By highlighting supply and demand imbalances, the script assists traders in identifying optimal entry and exit points. Wyckoff concepts such as springs and upthrusts provide clear trade signals based on market structure.
🔶 Trend Confirmation & Risk Management
Observing how price reacts to detected events helps confirm trend direction and potential reversals. Traders can place stop-loss and take-profit levels based on Wyckoff phase analysis, ensuring strategic trade execution.
🔶 Table-Based Market Analysis (Table)
A built-in table summarizes:
- Market Phase: Accumulation, Distribution, or Neutral.
- Strength of Phase: Weak, Moderate, or Strong.
- Price Positioning: Whether price is near support, resistance, or in a trading range.
- Supply/Demand State: Identifies whether the market is supply or demand dominant.
🔶 Why Choose Wyckoff Market Phases - Alpha Extract?
This indicator offers a systematic approach to understanding market mechanics through the lens of Wyckoff's time-tested principles. By providing clear and actionable insights into market phases, it empowers traders to make informed decisions, enhancing both confidence and performance in various trading environments.

Add this indicator to your chart for a comprehensive view of VWAP dynamics and structured market levels.
FVG LevelsFVG Levels Indicator Description
The FVG Levels indicator dynamically identifies and displays key price zones that may represent fair value gaps and order block areas, helping traders to visually pinpoint potential support and resistance levels directly on the chart.
Key Features
Order Block Identification:
The indicator detects bullish and bearish order blocks by analyzing specific candle patterns. For bullish zones, it checks if a candle two bars ago was bullish (close greater than open) coupled with a subsequent gap condition. Similarly, bearish zones are identified when bearish candle conditions are met with an appropriate gap.
Dynamic Zone Calculation:
It computes critical levels such as the highest highs, lowest lows, highest lows, and lowest highs over a series of recent bars. These levels define the boundaries of potential buy and sell zones and adjust dynamically as new price data comes in.
Visual Representation:
Buy zones are plotted in lime and sell zones in yellow, with the indicator filling the areas between the high and low lines to create clear, shaded bands. This visual aid helps in quickly recognizing zones of potential price reaction.
Chart Overlay:
Designed to work as an overlay, the indicator integrates directly onto your price chart, allowing for seamless correlation between price action and identified zones.
How It Works
Bullish Zones:
When a bullish candle (with the candle's close above its open) is detected along with a significant gap, the indicator marks the upper and lower boundaries of the bullish order block. It further refines these levels by tracking the lowest low and highest high over recent bars to enhance the zone's definition.
Bearish Zones:
In a similar manner, the indicator calculates bearish order blocks by confirming bearish candle conditions and corresponding gap criteria. It then updates the bearish zone levels and computes the highest high and lowest low to establish clear sell zone boundaries.
Usage
Traders can use the FVG Levels indicator to:
Identify potential entry and exit points by observing where price may reverse or consolidate.
Recognize fair value gaps or imbalances that often act as magnet points for price action.
Enhance risk management by using the dynamically calculated zones to set stop-losses or take-profits.
FVG | iSolani
Unveiling Market Inefficiencies with Precision
In fast-moving markets, spotting hidden opportunities often hinges on identifying imbalances between price and value. The FVG | iSolani indicator revolutionises this process by detecting Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) —zones where price action skips over "fair" valuation levels, creating potential retracement targets. Combining advanced filtering, dynamic visualisation, and automated management, this tool empowers traders to pinpoint high-probability setups with unprecedented clarity.
Core Methodology
The indicator employs a multi-layered approach to identify FVGs:
Three-Bar Gap Analysis: Bullish FVGs form when the current low exceeds the high of two bars prior, while bearish FVGs occur when the current high stays below the low of two bars back.
Volatility-Adjusted Filtering: Gaps are measured against a 100-bar standard deviation to exclude insignificant price jumps.
Volume Confirmation: Only gaps accompanied by above-average volume (relative to a 1-bar SMA) are validated, filtering out low-conviction moves.
Auto-Invalidation System: Continuously monitors price action to remove FVG zones once price closes within their range, maintaining chart cleanliness.
Breaking New Ground
This tool introduces three paradigm-shifting innovations:
Volume-Weighted Significance: Unlike traditional FVG detectors, it ties gap validity to volume spikes, emphasising institutional activity.
Adaptive Zone Management: Boxes automatically extend rightward (when enabled) and self-destruct when invalidated, eliminating manual cleanup.
Smart Color Encoding: Offers both monochrome (for multi-timeframe analysis) and standard bull/bear color schemes, with customisable transparency.
Engine Under the Hood
The script operates through four key processes:
Gap Detection: Scans every new bar for three-candle patterns meeting FVG criteria.
Statistical Filtering: Applies user-defined threshold (default: 1σ) to separate meaningful gaps from market noise.
Box Rendering: Draws semi-transparent zones between gap boundaries using TradingView's box objects, styled according to user preferences.
Array-Based Memory: Stores all active FVGs in arrays, enabling real-time validation checks against current price action.
Standard Configuration
Optimised default settings balance visibility and functionality:
Filter: 1.0 (1 standard deviation threshold)
Colors: "Mono" mode (gray boxes) with 90% transparency
Text Labels: Enabled in medium gray
Extension: Gaps extend indefinitely rightward
Borders: Dotted lines with visible outlines
Through its fusion of quantitative rigor and visual adaptability, the FVG | iSolani transforms raw price data into actionable intelligence. By focusing on volume-confirmed gaps and automating zone management, it cuts through market chaos to reveal structurally significant levels—a must-have for traders navigating breakouts, reversals, or order-flow analysis.
Delta VolDelta Volume BTC - Multi Pair
Description The Delta Volume BTC - Multi Pair indicator visualizes the balance between buying and selling volume across multiple Bitcoin exchanges. By analyzing price action within each bar, it provides insight into underlying market pressure that traditional volume indicators miss. This indicator allows traders to:
Compare volume flow across Coinbase, Binance, and Binance Perpetual markets
Identify divergences between exchanges that may signal market shifts
Detect accumulation or distribution patterns through volume imbalances
View exchanges individually or in aggregate for comprehensive analysis
Calculation Methods The indicator offers three volume delta calculation methods:
VWAP Based (default):
price_range = high - low
buy_percent = (close - low) / price_range
sell_percent = (high - close) / price_range
delta = volume * (buy_percent - sell_percent)
This method distributes volume based on where price closed within the bar's range, providing a nuanced view of buying/selling pressure.
Tick Based :
delta = volume * sign(hlc3 - previous_hlc3)
This approach assigns volume based on the direction of typical price movement between bars, capturing momentum between periods.
Simple :
delta = close > open ? volume : close < open ? -volume : 0
A straightforward method that assigns positive volume to up bars and negative volume to down bars.
When Aggregate Mode is enabled, the indicator sums the volume deltas from all selected exchanges:
aggregate_delta = coinbase_delta + binance_delta + binance_perp_delta
Features
Multi-Exchange Support : Track volume delta across Coinbase, Binance, and Binance Perpetual futures
Advanced Calculation Methods : Choose between VWAP-based, tick-based, or simple volume delta algorithms
Flexible Display Options : Visualize as histogram, columns, area, or line charts
Customizable Colors : Distinct color schemes for each exchange and direction
Smoothing Options : Apply EMA, SMA, or WMA to reduce noise
Aggregate Mode : Combine all exchanges to see total market flow
How to Use
Individual Exchange Analysis : Uncheck "Aggregate Mode" to see each exchange separately, revealing where smart money may be positioning
Divergence Detection : Watch for one exchange showing buying while others show selling
Volume Trend Confirmation : Strong price moves should be accompanied by strong delta in the same direction
Liquidity Analysis : Compare spot vs futures volume delta to identify market sentiment shifts
The Delta Volume BTC - Multi Pair indicator helps identify the "hidden" buying and selling pressure that may not be apparent from price action alone, giving you an edge in understanding market dynamics across the Bitcoin ecosystem.
