Global M2 Money Supply (USD) GrowthThe Global M2 Growth indicator evaluates the total liquid money supply, including cash, checking deposits, and assets that can be easily converted to cash. It reflects changes in global liquidity by tracking year-on-year (YoY) changes in the Global M2 money supply rather than its absolute value. This approach highlights the velocity of liquidity expansion or contraction, offering a clearer understanding of its correlation with asset performance, such as Bitcoin.
How It Works
When the Global M2 money supply expands, it reflects an increase in available liquidity. This often leads to an influx of capital into higher-yielding and riskier assets like Bitcoin, equities, and commodities. Conversely, when M2 contracts, liquidity tightens, leading to declines in the values of these assets.
An essential insight is that Bitcoin's price is not immediately affected by changes in M2. Research shows a lag of approximately 56-60 days (around two months) between liquidity changes and Bitcoin's price movements. Shifting the liquidity data forward by this period improves the correlation between Global M2 and Bitcoin performance.
How to Use
Track Global M2 YoY Change: Focus on liquidity's yearly change to identify trends. Rapid increases in liquidity often signify favorable conditions for Bitcoin and other risk assets to rise, while contractions often predict price declines or consolidation phases.
Account for the Lag Effect: Incorporate the two-month lag into your analysis to predict Bitcoin's potential moves more accurately. For instance, a recent resurgence in liquidity growth could signal a Bitcoin rally within the next two months.
Use as a Macro Indicator: Monitor liquidity trends alongside other economic indicators and asset performance metrics to build a more comprehensive investment framework.
By tracking these dynamics, traders and investors can better anticipate Bitcoin's trajectory and make informed decisions.

Global Liquidity IndexThis custom indicator provides a composite measure of global liquidity by combining key central bank balance sheet data with additional liquidity proxies. The script aggregates asset data from major economies—including the United States, Japan, China, and the Eurozone—converting non-USD values into U.S. dollars using real-time exchange rates. It then subtracts selected liability measures (such as reverse repurchase agreements and other adjustments) to approximate net central bank liquidity.
Key features include:
• Multi-Regional Coverage:
Incorporates data from the U.S. Federal Reserve, Bank of Japan, Chinese central bank proxies, and the European Central Bank, allowing you to gauge liquidity across major global markets.
• Dynamic Currency Conversion:
Uses live exchange rates (JPY/USD, CNY/USD, EUR/USD) to ensure that all regional figures are consistently expressed in U.S. dollars.
• Customizable Weighting:
Assign adjustable weights to each region’s data, so you can reflect economic size or your own view of their relative importance.
• Additional Liquidity Proxies:
Optionally integrates measures for global money supply and global credit/repo activity (or other proxies of your choice) with user-defined scaling factors.
• User-Friendly Configuration:
All key parameters—including weights and scaling factors—are available as inputs, making the indicator flexible and easy to tailor to your analysis needs.
This indicator is designed for traders and analysts seeking a broad view of global monetary conditions. Whether you’re tracking shifts in central bank policies or assessing global market liquidity, the Global Liquidity Index provides an insightful, customizable tool to help you visualize and interpret liquidity trends over time.
Fed Net LiquidityNet Liquidity = Federal Reserve Total Assets - Treasury General Account (TGA) - Reverse Repurchase Agreements (RRP) Balance
1. Federal Reserve Total Assets: This is the sum of everything the Fed owns, like government bonds and mortgage-backed securities. You can snag this data from the Fed’s weekly balance sheet report.
2. Treasury General Account (TGA): Think of this as the U.S. government’s checking account at the Fed. When the TGA balance goes up, it means the government is pulling liquidity out of the market, and vice versa.
3. Reverse Repurchase Agreements (RRP) Balance: This represents the liquidity the Fed absorbs from the market through reverse repo operations. When financial institutions park money in the Fed’s RRP account, there’s less cash available in the market.
Why Use Net Liquidity?
Net liquidity is seen as a key indicator of the actual amount of money available in the market. It helps gauge the overall liquidity conditions that can influence financial markets.
Where to Find the Data:
1. Federal Reserve Total Assets: You can find this in the Fed’s weekly balance sheet (the H.4.1 report). Here’s the link: Federal Reserve Statistical Release - H.4.1.
Steps to Calculate Net Liquidity Yourself:
1. Get the Fed’s Total Assets: Look up the latest H.4.1 report and jot down the total assets figure.
2. Find the TGA Balance: Head over to the U.S. Treasury’s Daily Treasury Statement to locate the “Treasury General Account” balance.
3. Get the RRP Balance: You can find this number in the H.4.1 report or on the New York Fed’s website under “Reverse Repurchase Agreements.”
4. Do the Math: Simply subtract the TGA and RRP balances from the Fed’s total assets—that gives you the net liquidity.
Volume Gaps and ImbalancesThis Pine script indicator is designed to visually depict price inefficiencies, as identified by Volume Imbalances (VI) or Gaps. A Volume Gap is a scenario where the wicks of two successive candles don’t intersect, while an Imbalance occurs when only the wicks overlap, leaving the bodies apart. These zones of inefficiency frequently act as magnets for price, with the market striving rebalance in accordance with ICT principles.
Relevance:
Volume Gaps/Imbalances are zones of highly inefficient price delivery as per ICT concepts and represent a very strong draw to price. Price will often seek to rebalance those zones to ensure efficient price delivery. Consequently, these zones can provide good targets for entries in the opposite direction or take profit targets for previous entries in the direction of the Gap/Imbalance.
How It Works:
The indicator keeps track of all Gaps/Imbalances from the beginning of the available history. It automatically removes all mitigated Gaps/Imbalances, which are situations where the price has at least reached the bottom of a bullish gap or the top of a bearish gap.
On the last bar, the most recent valid gaps are highlighted with a box drawn from the start to the end of the gap. The start of a bullish gap is determined by the highest price of the previous candle’s open or close, while for bearish gaps, it’s the lowest price of the previous candle’s open or close. Conversely, the end of a bullish gap is the lowest price of the current candle’s open or close, and for bearish gaps, it’s the highest price of the current candle’s open or close.
To enhance the indicator’s speed and minimize chart noise, only the most recent gaps will be displayed, up to the limit set in the indicator settings.
Each displayed VI/GAP will indicate the size of the imbalance in ticks. For imbalances greater than 3 ticks, which represent stronger draws of liquidity, the color transparency will be reduced, and the text will be made more prominent. Volume Gaps are also marked with a 🧲 emoji for easy visual identification.
The indicator will automatically extend the boxes representing valid imbalances to the current bar for as long as the imbalance is not mitigated.
If an imbalance has been tapped, but not mitigated, the indicator will append 🚩emoji to denote that the imbalance has been partially mitigated and may no longer have as strong of a draw for price.
Configurability:
A user may configure the number of imbalances to show, the setting applies to bullish/bearish imbalances individually. This setting can be set to any value from 1 – 50.
Appearance wise, color, style and color transparency of each box representing an imbalance can be configured. The imbalance box label can be configured by setting the text size, along with the vertical & horizontal alignment.
What makes this indicator different:
Designed with high performance in mind, to reduce impact on chart render time.
Only keeps valid imbalances on the chart, with a limit on the # drawn
Indicates the size of the gap and provides visual markets to denote stronger, weaker and partially mitigated gaps

NYCOB Kill ZoneThis script plots the H and L of the first 2 hours of the NYC session and shades the space between in which i deem the NYC Order Block
It also maps out the First two hours on the chart as well so you can understand when the OB has formed
Over the past 3 years of trading cryptocurrency i have noticed a phenomena that has occurred nearly every day
The H or L will 90% of the time will be posted in the first two hours of this session
knowing this means you understand if you just wait til this time you can better your odds at not getting stop hunted due to poor entry
A few things to take from this study are these.
1. after the OB is formed
2. whichever side gets taken out first (H/L) will 90% define the bias for the day. I have found that using the m13-m15 TF will add some more confirmation with 1-2 closes outside of range H/L/
3. After general bias has formed 2 things can happen
A) PA just takes off and there is really nothing you can do about it unless you had other studies that told you that will happen
B) PA will dip back INTO the OB and create the OTE which is any retracement below the .5 Fibonacci of the shaded OB
4. Typically OTE happens after the session has ended
5. If you used OTE off of the past days NYCOB then you can use the new (forming or just formed) NYCOB to CONFIRM your initial bias presented from the previous days OTE and bias.
6. When PA cannot close outside the NYCOB it presents a range to range play where PA will visit the opposite side of the range to chase liquidity,
7. When the NYCOB is TIGHT then deviation is more likely to result in price expansion, when the NYCOB is WIDE then deviation tends to present more range to range plays.
8. After bias is formed and OTE has been made your stops should always be outside the NYCOB. I use the m30 or H1 ATR to get a slight cushion from the OB to ensure i dont get stop hunted.
AS of now this about all the information i have but i will continue to update this list in the comment section as more studies and results have been posted.
DM me on how to attain access.

The 'Qualified' POI Scorer [PhenLabs]📊 The “Qualified” POI Scorer (Q-POI)
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The “Qualified” POI Scorer helps intermediate traders overcome "analysis paralysis" by filtering Smart Money Concepts (SMC) structures based on their probability. Instead of flooding your chart with every possible Order Block, this script assigns a proprietary “Quality Score” (0-100) to each zone. It analyzes the strength of the displacement, the presence of imbalances (FVG), and liquidity mechanics to determine which zones are worth your attention. It is designed to clean up your charts and enforce discipline by visually fading out low-quality setups.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Dynamic “Glass UI” Transparency that automatically fades weak zones based on their score.
Proprietary Scoring Algorithm (0-100) based on three distinct institutional factors.
Visual Icon System that prints analytical context (💧— 🚀/🐌—🧱) directly on the chart.
Automated Mitigation Tracking that changes the visual state of zones after they are tested.
Displacement Velocity calculation using ATR to verify institutional intent.
🔧 Core Components
Liquidity Sweep Engine: Detects if a pivot point grabbed liquidity from the previous X bars before reversing.
FVG Validator: Checks if the move away from the zone created a valid Fair Value Gap.
Momentum Scorer: Calculates the size of the displacement candle relative to the Average True Range (ATR).
🔥 Key Features
Quality Filtering: Automatically hides or dims zones that score below 50 (user configurable).
State Management: Zones turn grey when mitigated and delete themselves when invalidated.
Visual Scorecard: Displays the exact numeric score on the zone for quick decision-making.
Time-Decay Logic: Keeps the chart clean by managing the lifespan of old zones.
🎨 Visualization
High Score Zones (80-100): Display as bright, semi-solid boxes indicating high probability.
Medium Score Zones (50-79): Display as translucent “glass” boxes.
Low Score Zones (<50): Display as faint “ghost” boxes or are completely hidden.
Rocket Icon (🚀): Indicates high momentum displacement.
Snail Icon (🐌): Indicates low momentum displacement.
Drop Icon (💧): Indicates the zone swept liquidity.
Brick Icon (🧱): Indicates the zone is supported by an FVG.
📖 Usage Guidelines
Swing Structure Length (Default: 5): Controls the sensitivity of the pivot detection; lower numbers create more zones, higher numbers find major swing points.
ATR Length (Default: 14): Determines the lookback period for calculating relative momentum.
Minimum Quality Score (Default: 50): The threshold for which zones are considered “valid” enough to be fully visible.
Bullish/Bearish Colors: Fully customizable colors that adapt their own transparency based on the score.
Show Weak Zones (Default: False): Toggles the visibility of zones that failed the quality check.
✅ Best Use Cases
Filtering noise during high-volatility sessions by focusing only on Score 80+ zones.
Confirming trend continuation entries by looking for the Rocket (🚀) momentum icon.
Avoiding “stale” zones by ignoring any box that has turned grey (Mitigated).
⚠️ Limitations
The indicator is reactive to closed candles and cannot predict news-driven spikes.
Scoring is based on technical structure and does not account for fundamental drivers.
In extremely choppy markets, the ATR filter may produce lower scores due to lack of displacement.
💡 What Makes This Unique
It transforms subjective SMC analysis into an objective, quantifiable score.
The visual hierarchy allows traders to assess chart quality in milliseconds without reading data.
It integrates three separate SMC concepts (Liquidity, Imbalance, Structure) into a single tool.
🔬 How It Works
Step 1: The script identifies a Swing High or Low based on your length input.
Step 2: It looks backward to see if that swing swept liquidity, and looks forward to check for an FVG and displacement.
Step 3: It calculates a weighted score (30pts for Sweep, 30pts for FVG, 40pts for Momentum).
Step 4: It draws the zone with a transparency level designated by the score and appends the relevant icons.
💡 Note:
For the best results, use this indicator on the timeframe you execute trades on (e.g., 15m or 1h). Do not use it to find entries on the 1m chart if your analysis is based on the 4h chart.

Valid Monthly LevelsValid Monthly Levels (No Sweeps) + Smart Labels
This tool automatically plots the highs and lows of each completed monthly candle and tracks their validity in real time. A level is considered valid until it has been swept (price trades strictly beyond that high or low). Once swept, the line and label can either be removed or dimmed depending on your settings.
Key features:
Monthly highs and lows: Each month’s range is marked with horizontal levels that extend forward.
Valid vs. swept logic: Levels are only valid until breached; swept levels can be hidden or kept as dotted/grey lines.
Smart labels: Each level is labeled with the month and year (e.g., Sep ’25 H/L). On higher timeframes, labels sit at the candle; on lower timeframes, labels automatically shift to the right edge so they don’t disappear off-screen.
Customizable appearance: Choose colors for highs, lows, and swept levels; adjust line styles; and limit how many past months are shown.
Clutter control: Cap the maximum number of labels, so your chart stays readable even on small intraday timeframes.
This indicator is useful for traders who track monthly supply/demand extremes, liquidity sweeps, and higher-timeframe context when executing on lower timeframes.
True Breakout Pattern [TradingFinder] Breakout Signal Indicator🔵 Introduction
In many market conditions, what initially appears to be a decisive breakout often turns out to be nothing more than a false breakout or fake breakout. Price breaks through a key swing level or an important support and resistance zone, only to quickly return to its previous range.
These failed breakouts, which are often the result of liquidity traps or market manipulation, serve more as a warning sign of structural weakness than confirmation of a new trend.
This indicator is designed around the concept of the fake breakout.
The logic is simple but precise : when price breaks a swing level and returns to that level within a maximum of five candles, the move is considered a false breakout. At this point, a Fibonacci retracement is applied to the recent price swing to evaluate the pullback area.
If price, within ten candles after the return to the breakout level, enters the Fibonacci zone between 0.618 and 1.0, the setup becomes valid for a potential entry. This area is identified as a long entry zone, with the stop loss placed just beyond the 1.0 level and the take profit defined based on the desired risk-to-reward ratio.
By combining accurate detection of false breakouts, analysis of price reaction to swing levels, and alignment with Fibonacci retracement logic, this framework allows traders to identify opportunities often missed by others. In a market where failed breakouts are a common and recurring phenomenon, this indicator aims to transform these traps into measurable trading opportunities.
Long Setup :
Short Setup :
🔵 How to Use
This indicator operates based on the recognition of false breakouts from structural levels in the market, specifically swing levels, and combines that with Fibonacci retracement analysis.
In this strategy, trades are only considered when price returns to the broken level within a defined time window and reacts appropriately inside a predefined Fibonacci range. Depending on the direction of the initial breakout, the system outlines two scenarios for long and short setups.
🟣 Long Setup
In the long setup, price initially breaks below a support level or swing low. If the price returns to the broken level within a maximum of five candles, the move is identified as a fake breakout.
At this stage, a Fibonacci retracement is drawn from the recent high to the low. If price, within ten candles of returning to the level, moves into the 0.618 to 1.0 Fibonacci zone, the conditions for a long entry are met.
The stop loss is placed slightly below the 1.0 level, while the take profit is set based on the trader’s preferred risk-reward ratio. This setup aims to capture deeply discounted entries at low risk, aligned with smart money reversals.
🟣 Short Setup
In the short setup, the price breaks above a resistance level or swing high. If the price returns to that level within five candles, the move is again treated as a false breakout. Fibonacci is then drawn from the recent low to the high to observe the retracement area.
Should price enter the 0.618 to 1.0 Fibonacci range within ten candles of returning, a short entry is considered valid. In this case, the stop loss is placed just above the 1.0 level, and the take profit is adjusted based on the intended risk-reward target. This method allows traders to identify high-probability short setups by focusing on failed breakouts and deep pullbacks.
🔵 Settings
🟣 Logical settings
Swing period : You can set the swing detection period.
Valid After Trigger Bars : Limits how many candles after a fake breakout the entry zone remains valid.
Max Swing Back Method : It is in two modes "All" and "Custom". If it is in "All" mode, it will check all swings, and if it is in "Custom" mode, it will check the swings to the extent you determine.
Max Swing Back : You can set the number of swings that will go back for checking.
🟣 Display settings
Displaying or not displaying swings and setting the color of labels and lines.
🟣 Alert Settings
Alert False Breakout : Enables alerts for Breakout.
Message Frequency : Determines the frequency of alerts. Options include 'All' (every function call), 'Once Per Bar' (first call within the bar), and 'Once Per Bar Close' (final script execution of the real-time bar). Default is 'Once per Bar'.
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : Configures the time zone for alert messages. Default is 'UTC'.
🔵 Conclusion
A sound understanding of the false breakout phenomenon and its relationship to structural price behavior is essential for technical traders aiming to improve precision and consistency. Many poor trading decisions stem from misinterpreting failed breakouts and entering too early into weak signals.
A structured approach, grounded in the analysis of swing levels and validated through specific price action and timing rules, can turn these misleading moves into valuable trade opportunities.
This indicator, by combining fake breakout detection with time filters and Fibonacci-based retracement zones, helps traders only engage with the market when multiple confirming factors are in alignment. The result is a strategy that emphasizes probability, risk control, and clarity in decision-making, offering a solid edge in navigating today’s volatile markets.
Doganayy2 Buy/Sell & liquidityTrap🔧 User-Changeable Settings and Their Meanings
1. ✅ Is Wick Filter Active?
What does it do?: Controls the length of the candle wick.
Effect: If active, a long wick is considered a trap (a sign of manipulation).
2. 📊 Is Volume Filter Active?
What does it do?: Controls abnormally high volume according to the volume average.
Effect: If active, high volume candles are considered for a liquidity trap signal.
3. 📈 Is RSI Filter Active?
What does it do?: Controls overbought/oversold according to the RSI level.
Effect: If active;
If RSI > ?, a long trap is searched.
If RSI < ?, a short trap is searched.
4. 🔴🟢 Is Candle Color (Direction) Filter Active?
What does it do?: Controls whether the candle is green or red.
Effect: If active;
A red candle (selling pressure) is required for a long trap.
A green candle (buying pressure) is required for a short trap.
5. 🧮 Is Fibonacci Level Filter Active?
What does it do?: Checks whether the price has reached important Fibonacci levels.
Effect: If active;
For a long trap, the price must rise above the Fibo level.
For a short trap, the price must fall below the Fibo level.
6. 📏 Is ATR Filter Active?
What does it do?: Checks whether there is sufficient deviation in the price according to the ATR.
Effect: If active;
A trap signal is given according to whether the price has moved too far from the ATR.
📌 As a result:
As these filters are activated, the system's long/short trap detection becomes tighter and produces fewer but more reliable signals. If you close the filters, you will receive more signals, but reliability may decrease.
Purpose of the indicator: To present buy/sell opportunities by detecting liquidity traps.

Central Bank Liquidity YOY % Change - Second DerivativeThis indicator measures the acceleration or deceleration in the yearly growth rate of central bank liquidity.
By calculating the year-over-year percentage change of the YoY growth rate, it highlights shifts in the pace of liquidity changes, providing insights into market momentum or potential reversals influenced by central bank actions.
This can help reveal impulses in liquidity by identifying changes in the growth rate's acceleration or deceleration. When central bank liquidity experiences a rapid increase or decrease, the second derivative captures these shifts as sharp upward or downward movements.
These impulses often signal pivotal liquidity shifts, which may correspond to major policy changes, market interventions, or financial stability measures, offering an early signal of potential market impacts.
Pure Price Action Structures [LuxAlgo]The Pure Price Action Structures indicator is a pure price action analysis tool designed to automatically identify real-time market structures.
The indicator identifies short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term swing highs and lows, forming the foundation for real-time detection of shifts and breaks in market structure.
Its distinctive/unique feature lies in its reliance solely on price patterns, without being limited by any user-defined input, ensuring a robust and objective analysis of market dynamics.
🔶 USAGE
Market structure is a crucial aspect of understanding price action. The script automatically identifies real-time market structure, enabling traders to comprehend market trends more easily. It assists traders in recognizing both trend changes and continuations.
Market structures are constructed from three sets of swing points, short-term swings, intermediary swings, and long-term swings. Market structures associated with longer-term swing points are indicative of longer-term trends.
A market structure shift (MSS), also known as a change of character (CHoCH), is a significant event in price action analysis that may signal a potential shift in market sentiment or direction. Conversely, a break of structure (BOS) is another significant event in price action analysis that typically indicates a continuation of the prevailing trend.
However, it's important to note that while an MSS can be the first indication of a trend reversal and a BOS signifies a continuation of the prevailing trend, they do not guarantee a complete reversal or continuation of the trend.
In some cases, MSS and BOS levels may also act as liquidity zones or areas of price consolidation, rather than indicating a definitive change in market direction or continuation. Traders should approach them with caution and consider additional factors to confirm the validity of the signal before making trading decisions.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Market Structures
Market structures are based on the analysis of price action and aim to identify key levels and patterns in the market, where swing point detection is one of the core concepts within ICT trading methodologies and teachings.
Swing points are automatically detected solely based on market movements, without any reliance on user-defined input.
🔹 Utilizing Swing Points
Swing points are not identified in real time as they occur. While short-term swing points may be displayed with a delay of at most one bar, the identification of intermediate and long-term swing points depends entirely on market movements. Furthermore, detection is not limited by any user-defined input but relies solely on pure price action. Consequently, swing points are not typically utilized in real-time trading scenarios.
Traders often analyze historical swing points to discern market trends and pinpoint potential entry and exit points for their trades. By identifying swing highs and lows, traders can:
Recognize Trends: Swing highs and lows help traders identify the direction of the trend. Higher swing highs and higher swing lows indicate an uptrend, while lower swing highs and lower swing lows indicate a downtrend.
Identify Support and Resistance Levels: Swing highs often serve as resistance levels, known in ICT terminology as Buyside Liquidity Levels, while swing lows function as support levels, also referred to in ICT terminology as Sellside Liquidity Levels. Traders can utilize these levels to strategize entry and exit points for their trades.
Spot Reversal Patterns: Swing points can form various reversal patterns, such as double tops or bottoms, head and shoulders patterns, and triangles. Recognizing these patterns can signal potential trend reversals, allowing traders to adjust their strategies accordingly.
Set Stop Loss and Take Profit Levels: In the context of ICT teachings, swing levels represent specific price levels where a concentration of buy or sell orders is anticipated. Traders can target these liquidity levels/pools to accumulate or distribute their positions, essentially using swing points to establish stop loss and take profit levels for their trades.
Overall, swing points provide valuable information about market dynamics and can assist traders in making more informed trading decisions.

Liquidation Levels [LuxAlgo]The Liquidation Levels indicator aims at detecting and estimating potential price levels where large liquidation events may occur.
By analyzing liquidation Levels, traders can identify potential support & resistance levels, identify stop-loss levels, and gauge market sentiment and potential areas of price volatility.
🔶 USAGE
Liquidation refers to the process of forcibly closing a trader's leveraged positions in the market. It occurs when a trader's margin account can no longer support their open positions due to significant losses or a lack of sufficient margin to meet the maintenance margin requirements.
Liquidation events happen at all times and the script focuses on detecting the most significant ones. Bubbles will appear on the relevant price bar when larger trading activity has been detected. Larger bubbles represent more significant potential liquidation levels. The lines attached to the bubbles represent the liquidation zones at that price.
These liquidation levels are based on clusters of price points where highly leveraged traders open long or short positions. High leverage is identified as 100x, 50x, and 25x leverages used for both long and short positions. The script allows users to either remove or customize leverage levels.
Price generally heads towards zones or clusters of liquidity.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹Liquidation Levels
Reference Price: defines the base price in calculating liquidation levels.
Volume Threshold: The volume threshold is the primary factor in detecting the significant trading activities that could potentially lead to liquidating leveraged positions.
Volatility Threshold: The volatility threshold option is the secondary factor that aims at detecting significant movement in the underlying asset’s price with relatively lower trading activities that could potentially also lead to liquidating high-leveraged positions.
Leverage Options: The leverage options are where the trader will set the desired leverage value and customize the potential liquidation level colors.
Hide Liquidation Bubbles: Toggles the visibility of the bubbles.

h/l raid @joshuuuThis indicator shows, when important liquidity pools have been taken out.
Which liquidity pools are important and how should I use them?
The day can be divided into different session. asia, london and new york session, those sessions can be narrowed down even further into killzones, taught by ict.
The times for those killzones are:
Asia - 2000-0000 ny time
London - 0200-0500 ny time
ny am - 0830-1100 ny time
nypm - 13.30-1600 ny time
Highs/Lows that have been created within those killzones (sessions with highest volume) should hold some liquidity.
That's why this indicator displays arrows with different colors to highlight once those highs/lows get taken out.
Additionally, the indicator also shows raids (liquidity grabs) of the previous daily, previous weekly and previous monthly high/low.
All colors are adaptable.
How do I use that indicator for my trading.
Once those important liquidity pools are taken out, we often see a reversal in the marketplace. One can wait for a raid and then watch for a potential market structure shift into the opposite direction to anticipate a reversal.
Note:
It is possible to create alerts for those kind of raids.
Examples:
ES:
Price takes out Asia High (red triangle) and London High (blue triangle). Price then forms a market structure shift (lower low after a series of higher lows) and creates a fair value gap while doing so.
That would be a valid setup. Again, all these are concepts by TheInnerCircleTrader.
EU:
On this EurUsd Chart, we can see, how the triangles (liquidity grabs) can be an early indication for potential reversals.
Asia high and london high has been taken out. market structure shift (light bulb) and then a fairvalue gap.
Market Structure & Liquidity: CHoCHs+Nested Pivots+FVGs+Sweeps//Purpose:
This indicator combines several tools to help traders track and interpret price action/market structure; It can be divided into 4 parts;
1. CHoCHs, 2. Nested Pivot highs & lows, 3. Grade sweeps, 4. FVGs.
This gives the trader a toolkit for determining market structure and shifts in market structure to help determine a bull or bear bias, whether it be short-term, med-term or long-term.
This indicator also helps traders in determining liquidity targets: wether they be voids/gaps (FVGS) or old highs/lows+ typical sweep distances.
Finally, the incorporation of HTF CHoCH levels printing on your LTF chart helps keep the bigger picture in mind and tells traders at a glance if they're above of below Custom HTF CHoCH up or CHoCH down (these HTF CHoCHs can be anything from Hourly up to Monthly).
//Nomenclature:
CHoCH = Change of Character
STH/STL = short-term high or low
MTH/MTL = medium-term high or low
LTH/LTL = long-term high or low
FVG = Fair value gap
CE = consequent encroachement (the midline of a FVG)
~~~ The Four components of this indicator ~~~
1. CHoCHs:
•Best demonstrated in the below charts. This was a method taught to me by @Icecold_crypto. Once a 3 bar fractal pivot gets broken, we count backwards the consecutive higher lows or lower highs, then identify the CHoCH as the opposite end of the candle which ended the consecutive backwards count. This CHoCH (UP or DOWN) then becomes a level to watch, if price passes through it in earnest a trader would consider shifting their bias as market structure is deemed to have shifted.
•HTF CHoCHs: Option to print Higher time frame chochs (default on) of user input HTF. This prints only the last UP choch and only the last DOWN choch from the input HTF. Solid line by default so as to distinguish from local/chart-time CHoCHs. Can be any Higher timeframe you like.
•Show on table: toggle on show table(above/below) option to show in table cells (top right): is price above the latest HTF UP choch, or is price below HTF DOWN choch (or is it sat between the two, in a state of 'uncertainty').
•Most recent CHoCHs which have not been met by price will extend 10 bars into the future.
• USER INPUTS: overall setting: SHOW CHOCHS | Set bars lookback number to limit historical Chochs. Set Live CHoCHs number to control the number of active recent chochs unmet by price. Toggle shrink chochs once hit to declutter chart and minimize old chochs to their origin bars. Set Multi-timeframe color override : to make Color choices auto-set to your preference color for each of 1m, 5m, 15m, H, 4H, D, W, M (where up and down are same color, but 'up' icon for up chochs and down icon for down chochs remain printing as normal)
2. Nested Pivot Highs & Lows; aka 'Pivot Highs & Lows (ST/MT/LT)'
•Based on a seperate, longer lookback/lookforward pivot calculation. Identifies Pivot highs and lows with a 'spikeyness' filter (filtering out weak/rounded/unimpressive Pivot highs/lows)
•by 'nested' I mean that the pivot highs are graded based on whether a pivot high sits between two lower pivot highs or vice versa.
--for example: STH = normal pivot. MTH is pivot high with a lower STH on either side. LTH is a pivot high with a lower MTH on either side. Same applies to pivot lows (STL/MTL/LTL)
•This is a useful way to measure the significance of a high or low. Both in terms of how much it might be typically swept by (see later) and what it would imply for HTF bias were we to break through it in earnest (more than just a sweep).
• USER INPUTS: overall setting: show pivot highs & lows | Bars lookback (historical pivots to show) | Pivots: lookback/lookforward length (determines the scale of your pivot highs/lows) | toggle on/off Apply 'Spikeyness' filter (filters out smooth/unimpressive pivot highs/lows). Set Spikeyness index (determines the strength of this filter if turned on) | Individually toggle on each of STH, MTH, LTH, STL, MTL, LTL along with their label text type , and size . Toggle on/off line for each of these Pivot highs/lows. | Set label spacer (atr multiples above / below) | set line style and line width
3. Grade Sweeps:
•These are directly related to the nested pivots described above. Most assets will have a typical sweep distance. I've added some of my expected sweeps for various assets in the indicator tooltips.
--i.e. Eur/Usd 10-20-30 pips is a typical 'grade' sweep. S&P HKEX:5 - HKEX:10 is a typical grade sweep.
•Each of the ST/MT/LT pivot highs and lows have optional user defined grade sweep boxes which paint above until filled (or user option for historical filled boxes to remain).
•Numbers entered into sweep input boxes are auto converted into appropriate units (i.e. pips for FX, $ or 'handles' for indices, $ for Crypto. Very low $ units can be input for low unit value crypto altcoins.
• USER INPUTS: overall setting: Show sweep boxes | individually select colors of each of STH, MTH, LTH, STL, MTL, LTL sweep boxes. | Set Grade sweep ($/pips) number for each of ST, MT, LT. This auto converts between pips and $ (i.e. FX vs Indices/Crypto). Can be a float as small or large as you like ($0.000001 to HKEX:1000 ). | Set box text position (horizontal & vertical) and size , and color . | Set Box width (bars) (for non extended/ non-auto-terminating at price boxes). | toggle on/off Extend boxes/lines right . | Toggle on/off Shrink Grade sweeps on fill (they will disappear in realtime when filled/passed through)
4. FVGs:
•Fair Value gaps. Represent 'naked' candle bodies where the wicks to either side do not meet, forming a 'gap' of sorts which has a tendency to fill, or at least to fill to midline (CE).
•These are ICT concepts. 'UP' FVGS are known as BISIs (Buyside imbalance, sellside inefficiency); 'DOWN' FVGs are known as SIBIs (Sellside imbalance, buyside inefficiency).
• USER INPUTS: overall setting: show FVGs | Bars lookback (history). | Choose to display: 'UP' FVGs (BISI) and/or 'DOWN FVGs (SIBI) . Choose to display the midline: CE , the color and the line style . Choose threshold: use CE (as opposed to Full Fill) |toggle on/off Shrink FVG on fill (CE hit or Full fill) (declutter chart/see backtesting history)
////••Alerts (general notes & cautionary notes)::
•Alerts are optional for most of the levels printed by this indicator. Set them via the three dots on indicator status line.
•Due to dynamic repainting of levels, alerts should be used with caution. Best use these alerts either for Higher time frame levels, or when closely monitoring price.
--E.g. You may set an alert for down-fill of the latest FVG below; but price will keep marching up; form a newer/higher FVG, and the alert will trigger on THAT FVG being down-filled (not the original)
•Available Alerts:
-FVG(BISI) cross above threshold(CE or full-fill; user choice). Same with FVG(SIBI).
-HTF last CHoCH down, cross below | HTF last CHoCH up, cross above.
-last CHoCH down, cross below | last CHoCH up, cross above.
-LTH cross above, MTH cross above, STH cross above | LTL cross below, MTL cross below, STL cross below.
////••Formatting (general)::
•all table text color is set from the 'Pivot highs & Lows (ST, MT, LT)' section (for those of you who prefer black backgrounds).
•User choice of Line-style, line color, line width. Same with Boxes. Icon choice for chochs. Char or label text choices for ST/MT/LT pivot highs & lows.
////••User Inputs (general):
•Each of the 4 components of this indicator can be easily toggled on/off independently.
•Quite a lot of options and toggle boxes, as described in full above. Please take your time and read through all the tooltips (hover over '!' icon) to get an idea of formatting options.
•Several Lookback periods defined in bars to control how much history is shown for each of the 4 components of this indicator.
•'Shrink on fill' settings on FVGs and CHoCHs: Basically a way to declutter chart; toggle on/off depending on if you're backtesting or reading live price action.
•Table Display: applies to ST/MT/LT pivot highs and to HTF CHoCHs; Toggle table on or off (in part or in full)
////••Credits:
•Credit to ICT (Inner Circle Trader) for some of the concepts used in this indicator (FVGS & CEs; Grade sweeps).
•Credit to @Icecold_crypto for the specific and novel concept of identifying CHoCHs in a simple, objective and effective manner (as demonstrated in the 1st chart below).

Price Action - Level/Zone (Expo)Price Action - Level/Zone (Expo) indicator identifies buying and selling pressure that has an impact on the price movement. This is visualized by a Zone, or Levels or with Barcolors depending on which settings are used.
Depending on the selected settings the indicator can identify buying and selling pressure which pushes the price further in the trend direction and it can show exhausted buyers/sellers which is seen in reversal points.
HOW TO USE
1. Use the indicator to identify buying and selling pressure.
2. Use the indicator to identify exhausted buyers and sellers.
3. Use the indicator to identify reversal points, pullbacks, or trend shifts.
4. Use the indicator to buy/short-sell breakouts of the zones.
5. Use the indicator to buy/short-sell when the price re-test the zones.
-> Try the indicator on Heikin Ashi Candles , but it works as good at any type of candlestick, bars, Renko, or line break.

USD Liquidity Regime for BTC Perps (Dual) V1USD Liquidity Regime for BTC Perps (Dual)
This intents to be a BTC Perps USD Liquidity Regime macro indicator.
As it names states it is designed for BTCUSDT perpetual futures traders.
It attempts to tracks USD strength (DXY, UUP, yields, VIX composite) as liquidity proxy:
Lower index = weak USD = Risk-On (green background/histogram = long tailwind for BTC).
Higher = strong USD = Risk-Off (red = caution longs, shorts favor).
How to use:
Green background/histogram: Favor longs — rallies likely, dips bought.
Red: Caution longs — corrections hurt, short bias possible.
Blue line (index) vs red SMA: Crosses signal regime shifts.
Histogram strength: Bigger bars = stronger bias.
This is not intended as financial advise or trigger signal tool.
This is a work in progress
Its value is limited, if you do not understand any or some of the words above please do not use this indicator. If you did, then you understand you are not supposed to use this alone to make decisions.
Feel free to ask any questions, this is a work in progress.
Feel free to suggest improvements.
Educational macro context tool — not signals/advice.
Ok for avoiding going against the USD trend dominance by following liquidity.

ICT Time Based Liquidity Levels [Mariinus]Indicator Overview – Inspired by ICT Concepts
This indicator helps you spot where liquidity rests and where major price moves are likely to begin or end — giving you clarity for both entries and exits.
Inspired by the teachings of the Inner Circle Trader (ICT), this tool builds on his philosophies and principles that have reshaped how traders view price action. One of the most powerful lessons that stuck with me personally is his quote:
"Time & Price, where it is Time first and then Price”
Another fundamental concept that underpins this tool is the idea that:
"Price is constantly moving in cycles from Premium to Equilibrium, from Equilibrium to Discount from Discount back to Premium."
With these core ideas in mind, this indicator was developed to help traders who are already using an ICT-based framework and focus on Kill Zones and by this on Time Based Liquidity.
In addition to plotting Session Highs and Lows on your chart, the ICT Time Based Liquidity Levels indicator also includes derived levels that provide deeper market insight. These include the Equilibrium of the full Session Range (High to Low) as well as the Equilibrium of the Wicks – offering a more nuanced view of price balance and potential turning points, in line with ICT’s core concepts.
To make sure your chart is not cluttered with lines, you can select which levels to show – and more importantly – you can plot Session Candles next to your Chart. Unlike standard time-based candles (e.g. 4H candles), these are “true” Session Candles that reflect the actual OHLC of trading Sessions, making it easier and clearer to see how Sessions interact with each other.
Next to Intraday Highs and Lows, the indicator will also plot Daily and Weekly Liquidity Pools above and below the Market, giving you insights to where Price is most likely heading towards.
You can set Alerts that trigger whenever one of these key levels is tagged, so you stay focused without staring at the screen all day.
⚠️ Important Disclaimer:
This is not a standalone trading plan.
This is not a buy or sell signal generator.
Instead, this tool is designed to support traders who follow ICT principles by helping them identify higher-probability PD Arrays – the key levels where setups are more likely to occur. If your trading plan includes looking for specific PD Arrays and structural frameworks taught by ICT, then this indicator is a visual aid to refine and focus your attention on the areas where your framework has a higher probability of playing out.
⚙️ Explanation of the Settings
You can combine up to 6 Sessions to monitor their respective levels while operating on a lower timeframe. You can define the timings and a long and short naming of those Sessions.
In the Days Section you can Set a lookback period to control how far back you want to calculate levels. Next to that you can select which Daily and or Weekly Levels you want to have shown on your Charts together with choosing their coloring, style and width.
In the Candles Section you can define how the Session Candles will look like which are plotted next to your Chart. When you have multiple Days of Session Candles it can come in handy to mirror image the Candles which will plot the Candles from right to left instead of the default left to right. In addition you can control how far the distance is between the Candles and your chart, the distance between Candles and Days and the thickness of those Candles. Next you can show or hide the Equilibrium of the total Session Range and the Equilibrium of the Wicks.
In the Lines Section you can specify which Session Levels you want to see on your Chart together with choosing their coloring, style and width.
In the Labels Section you can specify which Labels you want to show and how you want to show them.
In the Openings Section you can specify to show the Midnight Open and or Weekly Open. In addition you can add a divider to be able to distinguish between multiple Days or Weeks.
In the Alert Section you can specify for which Sessions you want to get notified when Key Levels are tagged. After setting this up, you need to set an alert via the Tradingview Alert function to really activate the Alert Function. Be aware that when you change your Alert setup, you need to setup the Tradingview Alert function again.
💡 Example Use Cases
These examples are for educational purposes only. This tool is not financial advice and should always be used in conjunction with your own trading plan—whether it involves Fair Value Gaps, Order Blocks, or a custom combination of ICT-based elements.

itradesize /\ Previous HTF x OHLC Box
FYI: It is an invite-only script, if you are interested in, please scroll down to see the Author's instructions.
Introducing an indicator which inspired by ICT concepts that use a model, based on what TTrades teaches in some of his DOL videos about how to get a proper bias.
Having a daily bias can be frustrating and this script could make it easy for you besides creating a ton of opportunities for scalpers as well as not only helpful for a daily bias, it can also help you to determine the actual H4 or H1 bias or even lower.
Always keep in mind: the higher the timeframe you use, the more accurate it can be.
You can use OHLC to determine the current or higher time frame bias as it can be used on any of them and properly gain a sentiment of a drawn of liquidity.
This model integrates the previous candle's open, high, low, and close values (or open, low, high close) in addition to their equilibrium to make it easier to identify where the price should go moreover they can be used as reference points for potential trading opportunities.
The 50% also known as equilibrium creates premium and discount zones within the previous candles. Using the former higher timeframe candle’s OHLC you can simply have an external range of liquidity and where the current price should it drawn to.
With this tool, you can achieve a proper trading framework as you can easily recognize the external & internal range of liquidity, so whether you are a scalper or a day trader you are able to rely on the indicator.
A bit of a candlestick analysis:
When the price wicks below means a potential bullish reversal is incoming.
When the price wicks above, then it means a potential bearish reversal is happening.
Closing below means lower prices. (Bearish trend)
Closing above means higher prices. (Bullish trend)
This indicator is an absolute monster for the OHLC guys.
How to use it?
- Analyse the trend on the higher timeframe, bullish trend is when the price continuously takes the previous candle’s high over and over again. Bearish trend is the total opposite.
- Wait for external liquidity to be taken.
- When it's happening there should be a displacement back to the range with an actual structure shift.
- Looking for an imbalance in the displacement.
- Aiming for an imbalance that is above 50% of the former move.
- Aggressive stop: below or above the candle which has an imbalance
- Conservative stop: below or above the former swing
Classic sell setup:
Classic buy setup:
The indicator has a ton of customizable features, the power of the tool is really in there, as you can find or refine your own model with it. Once you're familiar with your setup you will be really feeling the power of the tool, I promise.
Indicator Features:
• M5/M15/H1/H4/D Time frames
• OHLC bar with an offset (you can have a look at the current HTF bar developing or you can use it as a locked previous bar)
• Current time frame OHLC / OLHC box with extended lines to the current time
• Showing the previous time frame OHLC / OLHC box with extended lines and the ability to add labels. The color of the OHLC or OLHC box is based on the candle closing. If it's a bear candle, if it's a bull candle.
• Previous high time frame open / close lines with labels, customisable colours, label sizes
• It has a lot of customisable features, the power of the tool is really in there as you can find or refine your own model with it.
• Every box and bar automatically switches its colors based on the close of the candle whether it's a bear or a bull candle.
• The color of the labels is switching automatically based on the coloring of your chart.
• You can customize each and every box color - OHLC/OLHC based on your taste, and the open and closing lines of the previous HTF.
Additional Information:
You can combine it with my own model. If you are not familiar with it, you can find here .
Or you can combine it with other frameworks for extra confluences like combining it with Daye’s QT in some simple equation:
Open → Q1 , High → Q2, Low → Q3, Close → Q4
Open → Q1, Low → Q2, High → Q3, Close → Q4
Crypto USD Liquidity Delta [tedtalksmacro]Calculates and plots the week-on-week (WoW), month-on-month (MoM), quarter-on-quarter (QoQ), and year-on-year (YoY) percentage changes in the aggregate stablecoin liquidity. By comparing the current liquidity with its historical values at different intervals, the script provides insights into the short-term and long-term liquidity fluctuations. Each of these percentage changes is plotted with distinct colors, enabling traders to analyze and comprehend the rate of liquidity change over various time frames.
