Breaker Blocks | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Volumized Breaker Blocks indicator! This new indicator can render breaker blocks with their volumetric information. It's highly customizable with detection, invalidation and style settings.
Features of the new Volumized Breaker Block indicator :
Render Bullish & Bearish Breaker Blocks
Enable / Disable Volumetric Information
Enable / Disable Historic Zones
Visual Customizability
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Breaker blocks form when an order block fails, or "breaks". It is often associated with market going in the opposite direction of the broken order block, and they can be spotted by following order blocks and finding the point they get broken, ie. price goes below a bullish order block.
The volume of a breaker block is simply the total volume of the bar that the original order block is broken.
🚩UNIQUENESS
This indicator can not only detect breaker blocks, but it can also detect them with their volumetric information. Volumetric information can be crucial when considering an breaker block's strength, which can be a crucial form of confluence in certain trading strategies.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Volumetric Info -> The volumetric information of the Breaker Blocks will be rendered if activated.
Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for Breaker Block Invalidation.
Swing Length -> Swing length is used when finding breaker block formations. Smaller values will result in finding smaller breaker blocks.

📊 Core Components Explained
1. Order Block System
What Are Order Blocks?
Order blocks are price zones where institutional activity has occurred, creating future support or resistance levels. SDMS automatically detects these critical zones.
Detection Logic:
Bullish Order Blocks: Form when price breaks above recent highs following bearish candles
Bearish Order Blocks: Form when price breaks below recent lows following bullish candles
Visual Identification:
Green boxes with "BuOB" labels (support zones)
Red boxes with "BeOB" labels (resistance zones)
Each block shows its boundary price for easy reference
Dynamic Management:
Automatically extends 300 bars into the future
Self-cleaning: removes blocks when price breaches their boundaries
Real-time adjustment to changing market structure
2. Statistical Support/Resistance System
How It Works:
SDMS creates support and resistance lines based on statistical extremes confirmed on the 1-hour timeframe.
Trigger Conditions:
Support Lines (Green): Trigger when 1H Bollinger Band % crosses above 0 and bearish momentum subsides.
Resistance Lines (Red): Trigger when 1H Bollinger Band % crosses below 1 and bullish momentum subsides
The Science Behind BB%:
BB% = (Price - Lower Band) / (Upper Band - Lower Band)
BB% <= 0: Price at statistical oversold extreme; also indicated by white candles.
BB% > 1: Price at statistical overbought extreme; also indicated by white candles.
Line Management:
Maximum of 15 active lines
Oldest lines automatically removed
Lines extend across chart for ongoing reference
3. Trend Analysis Suite
Hull Moving Average (HMA):
55-period smoothed trend indicator
Color-coded: Green = bullish, Red = bearish
Visual band shows trend acceleration/deceleration
Gaussian Channel:
Advanced filtering of market noise
Dynamic channel based on true range volatility

Hybrid Strategy: Trend/ORB/MTFHybrid Strategy: Trend + ORB + Multi-Timeframe Matrix
This script is a comprehensive "Trading Manager" designed to filter out noise and identify high-probability breakout setups. It combines three powerful concepts into a single, clean chart interface: Trend Alignment, Opening Range Breakout (ORB), and Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Analysis.
It is designed to prevent "analysis paralysis" by providing a unified Dashboard that confirms if the trend is aligned across 5 different timeframes before you take a trade.
How it Works
The strategy relies on the "Golden Trio" of confluence:
1. Trend Definition (The Setup) Before looking for entries, the script analyzes the immediate trend. A bullish trend is defined as:
Price is above the Session VWAP.
The fast EMA (9) is above the slow EMA (21). (The inverse applies for bearish trends).
2. The Signal (The Trigger) The script draws the Opening Range (default: first 15 minutes of the session).
Buy Signal: Price breaks above the Opening Range High while the Trend is Bullish.
Sell Signal: Price breaks below the Opening Range Low while the Trend is Bearish.
3. The Confirmation (The Filter) A signal is only valid if the Higher Timeframe (default: 60m) agrees with the direction. If the 1m chart says "Buy" but the 60m chart is bearish, the signal is filtered out to prevent false breakouts.
Key Features
The Matrix Dashboard A zero-lag, real-time table in the corner of your screen that monitors 5 user-defined timeframes (e.g., 5m, 15m, 30m, 60m, 4H).
Trend: Checks if Price > EMA 21.
VWAP: Checks if Price > VWAP.
ORB: Checks if Price is currently above/below the Opening Range of that session.
D H/L: Warns if price is near the Daily High or Low.
PD H/L: Warns if price is near the Previous Daily High or Low.
Visual Order Blocks The script automatically identifies valid Order Blocks (sequences of consecutive candles followed by a strong explosive move).
Chart: Draws Green/Red zones extending to the right, showing where price may react.
Dashboard: Displays the exact High, Low, and Average price of the most recent Order Blocks for precision planning.
Risk Management (Trailing Stop) Once a trade is active, the script plots Chandelier Exit dots (ATR-based trailing stop) to help you manage the trade and lock in profits during trend runs.
Visual Guide (Chart Legend)
⬜ Gray Box: Represents the Opening Range (first 15 minutes). This is your "No Trade Zone." Wait for price to break out of this box.
🟢 Green Line: The Opening Range High. A break above this line signals potential Bullish momentum.
🔴 Red Line: The Opening Range Low. A break below this line signals potential Bearish momentum.
🟢 Green / 🔴 Red Zones (Boxes): These are Order Blocks.
🟢 Green Zone: A Bullish Order Block (Demand). Expect price to potentially bounce up from here.
🔴 Red Zone: A Bearish Order Block (Supply). Expect price to potentially reject down from here.
⚪ Dots (Trailing Stop):
🟢 Green Dots: These appear below price during a Bullish trend. They represent your suggested Stop Loss.
🔴 Red Dots: These appear above price during a Bearish trend.
🏷️ Buy / Sell Labels:
BUY: Triggers when Price breaks the Green Line + Trend is Bullish + HTF is Bullish.
SELL: Triggers when Price breaks the Red Line + Trend is Bearish + HTF is Bearish.

ICT Panther (By Obicrypto) V1 ICT Panther Indicator: Full and Detailed Description
The ICT Panther Indicator, created by Obicrypto, is an advanced technical analysis tool designed specifically for traders looking to identify key price action events based on institutional trading techniques, particularly in the context of the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. This indicator helps traders spot market structure breaks, order blocks, and potential trade opportunities driven by institutional behaviors in the market. Here's a detailed breakdown of its features and how it works:
What Does the ICT Panther Indicator Do?
1. Market Structure Breaks (MSB) Identification:
The ICT Panther identifies critical points where the market changes direction, commonly referred to as a break of structure (BoS). When the price breaks above or below certain key levels (based on highs and lows or opens and closes), it signals a potential shift in market sentiment. These break-of-structure points are essential for traders to determine whether the market is likely to continue its trend or reverse.
2. Order Blocks Visualization:
The indicator plots demand (bullish) and supply (bearish) boxes, which represent areas where institutional traders might place significant buy or sell orders. These zones, known as order blocks, are areas where the price tends to pause or reverse, giving traders key insights into potential entry and exit points. The indicator shows these areas graphically as colored boxes on the chart, which can be used to plan trades based on market structure and price action.
3. Pivot Point Detection:
The ICT Panther identifies important pivot points by tracking higher highs and lower lows. These pivot points are critical in determining the strength of a trend and can help traders confirm the direction of the market. The indicator uses a unique algorithm to detect two levels of pivot points:
- First-Order Pivots: Major pivot points where the price makes notable highs and lows.
- Second-Order Pivots: Smaller pivot points, useful for detecting microtrends within the larger market structure.
4. Bullish and Bearish Break of Structure Lines:
When a significant market structure break (BoS) occurs, the indicator will automatically draw red lines (for bearish break of structure) and green lines (for bullish break of structure) at key price levels. These lines help traders quickly see where institutional moves have occurred in the past and where potential future price moves could originate from.
5. Tested and Filled Boxes:
The ICT Panther also has a built-in mechanism to dim previously tested order blocks. When the price tests an order block (returns to a previous demand or supply zone), the box's color dims to indicate that the area has already been tested, reducing its significance. If the price fully fills an order block, the box stops plotting, providing a clear and clutter-free chart.
Key Features
1. Market Structure Break (MSB) Trigger:
- The indicator allows users to select between highs/lows or opens/closes as the trigger for market structure breaks. This flexibility lets traders adjust the indicator to suit their personal trading style or the behavior of specific assets.
2. Order Block Detection and Visualization:
- The tool automatically plots bullish and bearish demand and supply boxes, representing institutional order blocks on the chart. These boxes provide visual cues for areas of potential price action, where institutional traders might be active.
3. Second-Order Pivot Highlighting:
- The ICT Panther offers an option to plot second-order pivots, highlighting smaller pivot points within the larger market structure. These pivots can be helpful for short-term traders who need to react to smaller price movements while still keeping the larger trend in mind.
4. Box Test and Fill Delays:
- Users can configure delays for box tests and box fills, meaning the indicator will only mark a box as tested or filled after a certain number of bars. This prevents false signals and helps confirm that a zone is truly significant in the market.
5. Customization and Visual Clarity:
- The indicator is highly customizable, allowing users to turn on or off various features like:
- Displaying second-order pivots.
- Highlighting candles that broke structure.
- Plotting market structure broke lines.
- Showing or hiding tested and filled demand boxes.
- Setting custom delays for box testing and filling to suit different market conditions.
6. Tested and Filled Order Block Visualization:
- The indicator visually adjusts the tested and filled order blocks, dimming tested zones and removing filled zones to avoid clutter on the chart. This ensures that traders can focus on active trading opportunities without distractions from historical data.
How Does It Work?
1. Detecting Market Structure Breaks (BoS):
- The indicator continuously tracks the market for key price action signals. When the price breaks through previous highs or lows (or opens and closes, depending on your selection), the indicator marks this as a break of structure. This is a critical signal used by institutional traders and retail traders alike to determine potential future price movements.
2. Order Block Identification:
- Whenever a bullish break of structure occurs, the indicator plots a green demand box to show the area where institutional buyers might have placed significant orders. Similarly, for a bearish break of structure, it plots a red supply box representing areas where institutional sellers are active.
3. Pivot Analysis and Tracking:
- As the market moves, the indicator continuously updates first-order and second-order pivot points based on highs and lows. These points help traders identify whether the market is trending or consolidating. Traders can use these pivot points in combination with the order blocks to make informed trading decisions.
4. Box Testing and Filling:
- When the price retests an existing order block, the box dims to show it has been tested. If the price fully fills the box, it is no longer shown, which helps traders focus on the most relevant, untested order blocks.
Benefits for Traders
- Improved Decision-Making: With clear visuals and advanced logic based on institutional trading strategies, this indicator provides a deeper understanding of market structure and price action.
- Reduced Clutter: The indicator intelligently manages the display of order blocks and pivot points, ensuring that traders focus only on the most relevant information.
- Adaptability: Whether you are a swing trader or a day trader, the ICT Panther can be adjusted to fit your trading style, offering robust and flexible tools for tracking market structure and order blocks.
- Institutional Edge: By identifying institutional-level order blocks and market structure breaks, traders using this indicator can trade in line with the strategies of large market participants.
Who Should Use the ICT Panther Indicator?

- Crypto, Forex, and Stock Traders who want to incorporate institutional trading concepts into their strategies.
- Technical Analysts looking for precise tools to measure the market structure and price action.
- ICT Traders who follow the Inner Circle Trader methodology and want an advanced tool to automate and enhance their analysis.
- Price Action Traders seeking a reliable indicator to track pivot points, order blocks, and market structure breaks.
The ICT Panther Indicator is a powerful, versatile tool that brings institutional trading techniques to the fingertips of retail traders. Whether you are looking to identify key market structure breaks, order blocks, or crucial pivot points, this indicator offers detailed visualizations and customizable options to help you make more informed trading decisions. With its ability to track the activities of institutional traders, the ICT Panther Indicator equips traders with the insights needed to stay ahead of the market and trade with confidence.

OrderBlock Trend (CISD)OrderBlock Trend (CISD) Indicator
Overview:
The "OrderBlock Trend (CISD)" AKA: change in state of delivery by ICT inner circle trader this indicator is designed to help traders identify and visualize market trends based on higher timeframe candle behavior. This script leverages the concept of order blocks, which are price levels where significant buying or selling activity has occurred, to signal potential trend reversals or continuations. By analyzing bullish and bearish order blocks on a higher timeframe, the indicator provides visual cues and statistical insights into the market's current trend dynamics.
Key Features:
Higher Timeframe Analysis: The indicator uses a higher timeframe (e.g., Daily) to assess the trend direction based on the open and close prices of candles. This approach helps in identifying more significant and reliable trend changes, filtering out noise from lower timeframes.
Bullish and Bearish Order Blocks: The script detects the first bullish or bearish candle on the selected higher timeframe and uses these candles as reference points (order blocks) to determine the trend direction. A bullish trend is indicated when the current price is above the last bearish order block's open price, and a bearish trend is indicated when the price is below the last bullish order block's open price.
Visual Trend Indication: The indicator visually represents the trend using background colors and plot shapes:
A green background and a square shape above the bars indicate a bullish trend.
A red background and a square shape above the bars indicate a bearish trend.
Candle Count and Statistics: The script keeps track of the number of up and down candles during bullish and bearish trends, providing percentages of up and down candles in each trend. This data is displayed in a table, giving traders a quick overview of market sentiment during each trend phase.
User Customization: The higher timeframe can be adjusted according to the trader's preference, allowing flexibility in trend analysis based on different time horizons.
Concepts and Calculations:
The "OrderBlock Trend (CISD)" indicator is based on the concept of order blocks, a key area where institutional traders are believed to place large orders, creating significant support or resistance levels. By identifying these blocks on a higher timeframe, the indicator aims to highlight potential trend reversals or continuations. The use of higher timeframe data helps filter out minor fluctuations and focus on more meaningful price movements.
The candle count and percentage calculations provide additional context, allowing traders to understand the proportion of bullish or bearish candles within each trend. This information can be useful for assessing the strength and consistency of a trend.
How to Use:
Select the Higher Timeframe: Choose the higher timeframe (e.g., Daily) that best suits your trading strategy. The default setting is "D" (Daily), but it can be adjusted to other timeframes as needed.
Interpret the Trend Signals:
A green background indicates a bullish trend, while a red background indicates a bearish trend. The corresponding square shapes above the bars reinforce these signals.
Use the information on the proportion of up and down candles during each trend to gauge the trend's strength and consistency.
Trading Decisions: The indicator can be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and indicators to make informed trading decisions. It is particularly useful for identifying trend reversals and potential entry or exit points based on the behavior of higher timeframe order blocks.
Customization and Optimization: Experiment with different higher timeframes and settings to optimize the indicator for your specific trading style and preferences.
Conclusion:
The "OrderBlock Trend (CISD)" indicator offers a comprehensive approach to trend analysis, combining the power of higher timeframe order blocks with clear visual cues and statistical insights. By understanding the underlying concepts and utilizing the provided features, traders can enhance their trend detection and decision-making processes in the markets.
Disclaimer:
This indicator is intended for educational purposes and should be used in conjunction with other analysis methods. Always perform your own research and risk management before making trading decisions.
Some known bugs when you switch to lower timeframe while using daily timeframe data it didn't use the daily candle close to establish the trend change but your current time frame If some of you know how to fix it that would be great if you help me to I would try my best to fix this in the future :) credit to ChatGPT 4o
Smart Money Concept [TradingFinder] Major OB + FVG + Liquidity🔵 Introduction
"Smart Money" refers to funds under the control of institutional investors, central banks, funds, market makers, and other financial entities. Ordinary people recognize investments made by those who have a deep understanding of market performance and possess information typically inaccessible to regular investors as "Smart Money".
Consequently, when market movements often diverge from expectations, traders identify the footprints of smart money. For example, when a classic pattern forms in the market, traders take short positions. However, the market might move upward instead. They attribute this contradiction to smart money and seek to capitalize on such inconsistencies in their trades.
The "Smart Money Concept" (SMC) is one of the primary styles of technical analysis that falls under the subset of "Price Action". Price action encompasses various subcategories, with one of the most significant being "Supply and Demand", in which SMC is categorized.
The SMC method aims to identify trading opportunities by emphasizing the impact of large traders (Smart Money) on the market, offering specific patterns, techniques, and trading strategies.
🟣 Key Terms of Smart Money Concept (SMC)
• Market Structure (Trend)
• Change of Character (ChoCh)
• Break of Structure (BoS)
• Order Blocks (Supply and Demand)
• Imbalance (IMB)
• Inefficiency (IFC)
• Fair Value Gap (FVG)
• Liquidity
• Premium and Discount
🔵 How Does the "Smart Money Concept Indicator" Work?
🟣 Market Structure
a. Accumulation
b. Market-Up
c. Distribution
d. Market-Down
a) Accumulation Phase : During the accumulation period, typically following a downtrend, smart money enters the market without significantly affecting the pricing trend.
b) Market-Up Phase : In this phase, the price of an asset moves upward from the accumulation range and begins to rise. Usually, the buying by retail investors is the main driver of this trend, and due to positive market sentiment, it continues.
c) Distribution Phase : The distribution phase, unlike the accumulation stage, occurs after an uptrend. In this phase, smart money attempts to exit the market without causing significant price fluctuations.
d) Market-Down Phase : In this stage, the price of an asset moves downward from the distribution phase, initiating a prolonged downtrend. Smart money liquidates all its positions by creating selling pressure, trapping latecomer investors.
The result of these four phases in the market becomes the market trend.
Types of Trends in Financial Markets :
a. Up-Trend
b. Down Trend
c. Range (No Trend)
a) Up-Trend : The market breaks consecutive highs.
b) Down Trend : The market breaks consecutive lows.
c) No Trend or Range : The market oscillates within a range without breaking either highs or lows.
🟣 Change of Character (ChoCh)
The "ChoCh" or "Change of Character" pattern indicates an initial change in order flow in financial markets. This structural change occurs when a major pivot in the opposite direction of the market trend fails. It signals a potential change in the market trend and can serve as a signal for short-term or long-term trend changes in a trading symbol.
🟣 Break of Structure (BoS)
The "BoS" or "Break of Structure" pattern indicates the continuation of the trend in financial markets. This structure forms when, in an uptrend, the price breaks its ceiling or, in a downtrend, the price breaks its floor.
🟣 Order Blocks (Supply and Demand)
Order blocks consist of supply and demand areas where the likelihood of price reversal is higher. There are six order blocks in this indicator, categorized based on their origin and formation reasons.
a. Demand Main Zone, "ChoCh" Origin.
b. Demand Sub Zone, "ChoCh" Origin.
c. Demand All Zone, "BoS" Origin.
d. Supply Main Zone, "ChoCh" Origin.
e. Supply Sub Zone, "ChoCh" Origin.
f. Supply All Zone, "BoS" Origin.
🟣 FVG | Inefficiency | Imbalance
These three terms are almost synonymous. They describe the presence of gaps between consecutive candle shadows. This inefficiency occurs when the market moves rapidly. Primarily, imbalances and these rapid movements stem from the entry of smart money and the imbalance between buyer and seller power. Therefore, identifying these movements is crucial for traders.
These areas are significant because prices often return to fill these gaps or even before they occur to fill price gaps.
🟣 Liquidity
Liquidity zones are areas where there is a likelihood of congestion of stop-loss orders. Liquidity is considered the driving force of the entire market, and market makers may manipulate the market using these zones. However, in many cases, this does not happen because there is insufficient liquidity in some areas.
Types of Liquidity in Financial Markets :
a. Trend Lines
b. Double Tops | Double Bottoms
c. Triple Tops | Triple Bottoms
d. Support Lines | Resistance Lines
All four types of liquidity in this indicator are automatically identified.
🟣 Premium and Discount
Premium and discount zones can assist traders in making better decisions. For instance, they may sell positions in expensive ranges and buy in cheaper ranges. The closer the price is to the major resistance, the more expensive it is, and the closer it is to the major support, the cheaper it is.
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Change of Character (ChoCh) and Break of Structure (BoS)
This indicator detects "ChoCh" and "BoS" in both Minor and Major states. You can turn on the display of these lines by referring to the last part of the settings.
🟣 Order Blocks (Supply and Demand)
Order blocks are Zones where the probability of price reversal is higher. In demand Zones you can buy opportunities and in supply Zones you can check sell opportunities.
The "Refinement" feature allows you to adjust the width of the order block according to your strategy. There are two modes, "Aggressive" and "Defensive," in the "Order Block Refine". The difference between "Aggressive" and "Defensive" lies in the width of the order block.
For risk-averse traders, the "Defensive" mode is suitable as it provides a lower loss limit and a greater reward-to-risk ratio. For risk-taking traders, the "Aggressive" mode is more appropriate. These traders prefer to enter trades at higher prices, and this mode, which has a wider order block width, is more suitable for this group of individuals.
🟣 Fair Value Gap (FVG) | Imbalance (IMB) | Inefficiency (IFC)
In order to identify the "fair value gap" on the chart, it must be analyzed candle by candle. In this process, it is important to pay attention to candles with a large size, and a candle and a candle should be examined before that.
Candles before and after this central candle should have long shadows and their bodies should not overlap with the central candle body. The distance between the shadows of the first and third candles is known as the FVG range.
These areas work in two ways :
• Supply and demand area : In this case, the price reacts to these areas and the trend is reversed.
• Liquidity zone : In this scenario, the price "fills" the zone and then reaches the order block.
Important note : In most cases, the FVG zone of very small width acts as a supply and demand zone, while the zone of significant width acts as a liquidity zone and absorbs price.
When the FVG filter is activated, the FVG regions are filtered based on the specified algorithm.
FVG filter types include the following :
1. Very Aggressive Mode : In addition to the initial condition, an additional condition is considered. For bullish FVG, the maximum price of the last candle must be greater than the maximum price of the middle candle.
Similarly, for a bearish FVG, the minimum price of the last candle must be lower than the minimum price of the middle candle. This mode removes the minimum number of FVGs.
2. Aggressive : In addition to the very aggressive condition, the size of the middle candle is also considered. The size of the center candle should not be small and therefore more FVGs are removed in this case.
3. Defensive : In addition to the conditions of the very aggressive mode, this mode also considers the size of the middle pile, which should be relatively large and make up the majority of the body.
Also, to identify bullish FVGs, the second and third candles must be positive, while for bearish FVGs, the second and third candles must be negative. This mode filters out a significant number of FVGs and keeps only those of good quality.
4. Very Defensive : In addition to the conditions of the defensive mode, in this mode the first and third candles should not be very small-bodied doji candles. This mode filters out most FVGs and only the best quality ones remain.
🟣 Liquidity
These levels are where traders intend to exit their trades. "Market makers" or smart money usually accumulate or distribute their trading positions near these levels, where many retail traders have placed their "stop loss" orders. When liquidity is collected from these losses, the price often reverses.
A "Stop hunt" is a move designed to offset liquidity generated by established stop losses. Banks often use major news events to trigger stop hunts and capture liquidity released into the market. For example, if they intend to execute heavy buy orders, they encourage others to sell through stop-hots.
Consequently, if there is liquidity in the market before reaching the order block area, the validity of that order block is higher. Conversely, if the liquidity is close to the order block, that is, the price reaches the order block before reaching the liquidity limit, the validity of that order block is lower.
🟣 Alert
With the new alert functionality in this indicator, you won't miss any important trading signals. Alerts are activated when the price hits the last order block.
1. It is possible to set alerts for each "symbol" and "time frame". The system will automatically detect both and include them in the warning message.
2. Each alert provides the exact date and time it was triggered. This helps you measure the timeliness of the signal and evaluate its relevance.
3. Alerts include target order block price ranges. The "Proximal" level represents the initial price level strike, while the "Distal" level represents the maximum price gap in the block. These details are included in the warning message.
4. You can customize the alert name through the "Alert Name" entry.
5. Create custom messages for "long" and "short" alerts to be sent with notifications.

Hybrid Smart Money Concepts [MarkitTick]💡This indicator provides a comprehensive technical analysis system that combines Market Structure concepts (Smart Money Concepts) with advanced Gap Analysis and a statistical Stress Model. It is designed to help traders identify trend direction, structural pivot points, potential reversal zones (Order Blocks), significant price gaps, and moments of market exhaustion.
Unlike standard ZigZag or Fractal indicators, this script integrates volume, trend maturity, and statistical volatility (Z-Score) to contextually classify price action. By overlaying these elements with a robust Market Structure engine—which identifies Change of Character (CHoCH) and Order Blocks—the tool provides a confluent view of price action.
It automates the detection of institutional footprints, allowing traders to see the structural trend, momentum drivers, and potential exhaustion points simultaneously.
● METHODOLOGY
The script operates on three distinct but complementary logic engines:
• Gap Analysis Engine
This module detects gaps between the previous high/low and the current open. It classifies them into three specific types based on volume and structural context:
Breakaway Gaps: Identified when a gap creates a breakout above a recent Pivot High or below a Pivot Low. This signals the start of a potential new trend.
Exhaustion Gaps: Identified when a gap occurs with high relative volume and meets the Trend Maturity criteria. This often signals the end of a trend.
Runaway Gaps: Standard continuation gaps that occur within a trend.
• Market Structure Engine
Swings and CHoCH: The script uses a left-and-right bar lookback to identify Pivot Highs and Lows. A Change of Character (CHoCH) is plotted when price closes beyond the most recent major pivot.
Order Blocks (OB): Upon a continuation of the trend, the script scans backward to find the extreme candle (the origin of the move) and highlights this zone as an Order Block.
Dynamic Cleanup: Gaps and Order Blocks are automatically removed (mitigated) when price aggressively crosses through their levels.
• Exhaustion & Stress Model
This statistical engine measures market "Stress" by analyzing the impact of price range relative to volume (True Range / Volume).
Calculation: It calculates a Z-Score (Standard Deviation) of this impact.
Logic: When the Z-Score exceeds a specific threshold (Sigma), it indicates a statistical anomaly or "Stress."
Signal: If high stress occurs while price is significantly above the trend baseline, it signals "Buyer Exhaustion." Conversely, high stress below the baseline signals "Seller Exhaustion."
● VISUALS & LEGEND
Before trading, you need to know what the indicator is drawing on your chart:
• Change of Character (CHoCH)
Green Dashed Line: Indicates a Bullish reversal.
Red Dashed Line: Indicates a Bearish reversal.
• Order Blocks (OB)
Green Boxes: Bullish support zones (Buy interest).
Red Boxes: Bearish resistance zones (Sell interest).
Note: Invalidated boxes are automatically deleted.
• Gaps
Blue Box (Breakaway): Strong momentum gap starting a new trend.
Orange Box (Runaway): Continuation gap.
Red Box (Exhaustion): Warning signal; trend may be ending.
• Stress Model Signals
Label "BE" (Red): Buyer Exhaustion. Suggests the bullish move is overextended relative to volume participation.
Label "SE" (Green): Seller Exhaustion. Suggests the bearish move is overextended.
● TRADING STRATEGY
You can use a "Pullback, Continuation & Exhaustion" strategy with this indicator.
• Scenario A: Long Setup (Buying)
Trend Change: Look for a CHoCH label with a Green Dashed Line.
Entry Zone: Look for a Green Order Block (OB) to form.
Confirmation: A Breakaway Gap (Blue) validates the breakout.
Entry: Enter Long when price pulls back into the Green OB.
Exit Warning: If a "BE" (Buyer Exhaustion) label appears, consider tightening stops or taking profit.
• Scenario B: Short Setup (Selling)
Trend Change: Look for a CHoCH label with a Red Dashed Line.
Entry Zone: Look for a Red Order Block (OB) to form.
Confirmation: A Breakaway Gap downwards validates the move.
Entry: Enter Short when price rallies back into the Red OB.
Exit Warning: If an "SE" (Seller Exhaustion) label appears, consider tightening stops or taking profit.

Unicorn ICT Signals [TradingFinder] Breaker Block + FVG Zones🔵 Introduction
The "ICT Unicorn Model" trading strategy in the "Inner Circle Trader" (ICT) style is one of the well-known strategies in the world of Forex and financial market trading.
The ICT methodology was developed by Michael Huddleston and is based on technical analysis and Price Action concepts.
This style focuses specifically on interpreting price movements and identifying optimal entry and exit points in the market.
In the Unicorn strategy, traders seek points where the probability of price reversal or trend continuation is high. This strategy is primarily based on recognizing and analyzing Price Action patterns and market structure.
By understanding"ICT Unicorn Model", traders can make more informed decisions about where to enter or exit trades, thereby increasing their chances of success in the market.
🟣 Understanding the Breaker Block
A Breaker Block is a specialized form of an Order Block that changes its role after a key market level is broken. Typically, an Order Block is an area on the chart where large institutional orders are likely to be placed, providing strong support or resistance.
However, when this area is breached, and the price moves in the opposite direction, it transforms into what is known as a Breaker Block. This shift indicates a reversal in market sentiment, turning the previous support into resistance or vice versa, thereby signaling a potential trend change to traders.
🟣 The Significance of the Fair Value Gap (FVG)
The Fair Value Gap (FVG) refers to an area on a price chart where the price rapidly moves through a level, leaving behind a gap. This gap represents an imbalance between supply and demand and is often seen as a potential area for price to return and fill the gap.
These zones are crucial for traders as they can indicate future price movements, providing opportunities to enter or exit trades.
🟣 Defining the ICT Unicorn Model
When an FVG overlaps with a Breaker Block, it forms a highly significant trading area known as a Unicorn. This overlap creates an ideal zone for traders to enter the market, as it combines two powerful technical signals.
The Unicorn Model is therefore considered an optimal strategy for identifying precise entry and exit points in the financial markets.
Demand ICT Unicorn Model :
Supply ICT Unicorn Model :
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Bullish ICT Unicorn
The Bullish ICT Unicorn model is applicable when the market is in an uptrend, and traders are seeking buying opportunities.
Follow these steps to identify Bullish ICT Unicorn :
Identify the Bullish Breaker Block : Locate an area where the price moved upward after breaking an Order Block. This area now acts as a Breaker Block.
Identify the Bullish FVG : Look for a Fair Value Gap near the Breaker Block.
Confirm the Unicorn : When the Bullish Breaker Block and Bullish FVG overlap, a Bullish Unicorn is confirmed. Traders can enter a buy position when the price returns to this zone.
🟣Bearish ICT Unicorn
The Bearish ICT Unicorn model is used when the market is in a downtrend, and traders are looking for selling opportunities.
To identify Bearish ICT Unicorn, follow these steps :
Identify the Bearish Breaker Block : Find an area where the price moved downward after breaking an Order Block. This area now acts as a Breaker Block.
Identify the Bearish FVG : Check if a Fair Value Gap has formed near the Breaker Block.
Confirm the Unicorn : When the Bearish Breaker Block and Bearish FVG overlap, a Bearish Unicorn is confirmed. Traders can enter a sell position when the price returns to this zone.

Smart Money Decoded [GOLD]Title: Smart Money Decoded
Description:
Introduction
Smart Money Decoded is a comprehensive, institutional-grade visualization suite designed to simplify the complex world of Smart Money Concepts (SMC). While many indicators flood the chart with noise, this tool focuses on clarity, precision, and high-probability structure.
This script is built for traders who follow the "Inner Circle Trader" (ICT) methodologies but struggle to identify valid Zones, Displacement, and Liquidity Sweeps in real-time.
💎 Key Features & Logic
1. Refined Market Structure (BOS & CHoCH)
Instead of marking every minor pivot, this script uses a filtered Swing High/Low detection system.
HH/LL/LH/HL Labels: Only significant structure points are mapped.
BOS (Break of Structure): Marks trend continuations in the direction of the bias.
CHoCH (Change of Character): Marks potential trend reversals.
2. Advanced Order Blocks (with "Strict Mode")
Not all down-candles before an up-move are Order Blocks. This script separates the weak from the strong.
Standard OBs: Visualized with standard transparency.
⚡ SWEEP OBs (High Probability): Order Blocks that explicitly swept liquidity (Stop Hunt) before the reversal are highlighted with a thicker border, brighter color, and a ⚡ symbol. These are your high-probability "Turtle Soup" entries.
Strict Mode Toggle: In the settings, you can choose to hide all weak OBs and only see the ones that swept liquidity.
3. Dynamic Breaker Blocks
A true ICT Breaker is a failed Order Block that trapped liquidity.
This script automatically detects when a valid OB is mitigated (broken through) and projects it forward as a Breaker Block.
This ensures you are trading off valid flipped zones (Support becomes Resistance, Resistance becomes Support).
4. Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Automatically detects Imbalances (Imbalance/Inefficiency).
Includes an ATR Filter to ignore tiny, insignificant gaps, keeping your chart clean.
Option to show the Consequent Encroachment (50% CE) level for precision entries.
5. Liquidity Zones (BSL / SSL)
Automatically plots Buy Side Liquidity (BSL) and Sell Side Liquidity (SSL) at key swing points.
Once price sweeps these levels, the zone is removed or marked as "Swept," helping you identify when the draw on liquidity has been met.
6. Institutional Data Panel
A dashboard in the top right corner displays:
Market Bias: Bullish/Bearish/Neutral based on structure.
Premium/Discount: Tells you if price is in the expensive (Premium) or cheap (Discount) part of the current dealing range.
Active Zones: Counts of current open arrays.
⚙️ How To Use This Indicator
Identify Bias: Look at the Structure Labels (HH/LL) and the Panel. Are we making Higher Highs?
Wait for the Trap: Look for a Liquidity Sweep (BSL/SSL taken) or a ⚡ Sweep OB.
Entry Confirmation: Watch for a return to a Fair Value Gap (FVG) or a retest of a Breaker Block (BRK).
Manage Risk: Use the visuals to place stops above/below invalidation points.
Customization:
Go to the settings to toggle "Strict Mode" for Order Blocks, change colors to match your theme, or adjust the lookback periods to fit your specific asset (Forex, Crypto, or Indices).

ICT Venom Trading Model [TradingFinder] SMC NY Session 2025SetupIntroduction
The ICT Venom Model is one of the most advanced strategies in the ICT framework, designed for intraday trading on major US indices such as US100, US30, and US500. This model is rooted in liquidity theory, time and price dynamics, and institutional order flow.
The Venom Model focuses on detecting Liquidity Sweeps, identifying Fair Value Gaps (FVG), and analyzing Market Structure Shifts (MSS). By combining these ICT core concepts, traders can filter false breakouts, capture sharp reversals, and align their entries with the real institutional liquidity flow during the New York Session.
Key Highlights of ICT Venom Model :
Intraday focus : Optimized for US indices (US100, US30, US500).
Time element : Critical window is 08:00–09:30 AM (Venom Box).
Liquidity sweep logic : Price grabs liquidity at 09:30 AM open.
Confirmation tools : MSS, CISD, FVG, and Order Blocks.
Dual setups : Works in both Bullish Venom and Bearish Venom conditions.
At its core, the ICT Venom Strategy is a framework that explains how institutional players manipulate liquidity pools by engineering false breakouts around the initial range of the market. Between 08:00 and 09:30 AM New York time, a range called the “Venom Box” is formed.
This range acts as a trap for retail traders, and once the 09:30 AM market open occurs, price usually sweeps either the high or the low of this box to collect stop-loss liquidity. After this liquidity grab, the market often reverses sharply, giving birth to a classic Bullish Venom Setup or Bearish Venom Setup
The Venom Model (ICT Venom Trading Strategy) is not just a pattern recognition tool but a precise institutional trading model based on time, liquidity, and market structure. By understanding the Initial Balance Range, watching for Liquidity Sweeps, and entering trades from FVG zones or Order Blocks, traders can anticipate market reversals with high accuracy. This strategy is widely respected among ICT followers because it offers both risk management discipline and clear entry/exit conditions. In short, the Venom Model transforms liquidity manipulation into actionable trading opportunities.
Bullish Setup :
Bearish Setup :
🔵 How to Use
The ICT Venom Model is applied by observing price behavior during the early hours of the New York session. The first step is to define the Initial Range, also called the Venom Box, which is formed between 08:00 and 09:30 AM EST. This range marks the high and low points where institutional traders often create traps for retail participants. Once the official market opens at 09:30 AM, price usually sweeps either the top or bottom of this box to collect liquidity.
After this liquidity grab, the market tends to reverse in alignment with the true directional bias. To confirm the setup, traders look for signals such as a Market Structure Shift (MSS), Change in State of Delivery (CISD), or the appearance of a Fair Value Gap (FVG). These elements validate the reversal and provide precise levels for trade execution.
🟣 Bullish Setup
In a Bullish Venom Setup, the market first sweeps the low of the Venom Box after 09:30 AM, triggering sell-side liquidity collection. This downward move is often sharp and deceptive, designed to stop out retail long positions and attract new sellers. Once liquidity is taken, the market typically shifts direction, forming an MSS or CISD that signals a reversal to the upside.
Traders then wait for price to retrace into a Fair Value Gap or a demand-side Order Block created during the reversal leg. This retracement offers the ideal entry point for long positions. Stop-loss placement should be just below the liquidity sweep low, while profit targets are set at the Venom Box high and, if momentum continues, at higher session or daily highs.
🟣 Bearish Setup
In a Bearish Venom Setup, the process is similar but reversed. After the Initial Range is defined, if price breaks above the Venom Box high following the 09:30 AM open, it signals a false breakout designed to collect buy-side liquidity. This move usually traps eager buyers and clears out stop-losses above the high.
After the liquidity sweep, confirmation comes through an MSS or CISD pointing to a reversal downward. At this stage, traders anticipate a retracement into a Fair Value Gap or a supply-side Order Block formed during the reversal. Short entries are taken within this zone, with stop-loss positioned just above the liquidity sweep high. The logical profit targets include the Venom Box low and, in stronger bearish momentum, deeper session or daily lows.
🔵 Settings
Refine Order Block : Enables finer adjustments to Order Block levels for more accurate price responses.
Mitigation Level OB : Allows users to set specific reaction points within an Order Block, including: Proximal: Closest level to the current price. 50% OB: Midpoint of the Order Block. Distal: Farthest level from the current price.
FVG Filter : The Judas Swing indicator includes a filter for Fair Value Gap (FVG), allowing different filtering based on FVG width: FVG Filter Type: Can be set to "Very Aggressive," "Aggressive," "Defensive," or "Very Defensive." Higher defensiveness narrows the FVG width, focusing on narrower gaps.
Mitigation Level FVG : Like the Order Block, you can set price reaction levels for FVG with options such as Proximal, 50% OB, and Distal.
CISD : The Bar Back Check option enables traders to specify the number of past candles checked for identifying the CISD Level, enhancing CISD Level accuracy on the chart.
🔵 Conclusion
The ICT Venom Model is more than just a reversal setup; it is a complete intraday trading framework that blends liquidity theory, time precision, and market structure analysis. By focusing on the Initial Range between 08:00 and 09:30 AM New York time and observing how price reacts at the 09:30 AM open, traders can identify liquidity sweeps that reveal institutional intentions.
Whether in a Bullish Venom Setup or a Bearish Venom Setup, the model allows for precise entries through Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Order Blocks, while maintaining clear risk management with well-defined stop-loss and target levels.
Ultimately, the ICT Venom Model provides traders with a structured way to filter false moves and align their trades with institutional order flow. Its strength lies in transforming liquidity manipulation into actionable opportunities, giving intraday traders an edge in timing, accuracy, and consistency. For those who master its logic, the Venom Model becomes not only a strategy for entry and exit, but also a deeper framework for understanding how liquidity truly drives price in the New York session.

Breaker Blocks Finder | Gold | ProjectSyndicateProjectSyndicate Breaker Blocks Finder
📊 Overview
The ProjectSyndicate Breaker Blocks Finder (PS BB Finder) is a professional-grade Pine Script indicator designed to detect and display Bullish and Bearish Breaker Blocks based on Smart Money Concepts (SMC) methodology. This indicator is specifically optimized for XAUUSD (Gold) trading but works reliably across all symbols and timeframes.
Key Features
✅ Non-Repainting: Breaker blocks never change position after formation
✅ Multi-Timeframe Support: Optimized for M5, M10, M15, M20, M30, and H1
✅ Highly Customizable: 10+ user-configurable settings
✅ Visual Clarity: Color-coded boxes and labels for easy identification
✅ Performance Optimized: Handles 1000+ candles without lag
✅ Cross-Symbol Compatible: Works on Forex, Crypto, Stocks, Indices, and Commodities
✅ Displacement Detection: Uses ATR-based displacement to filter false signals
🎯 What are Breaker Blocks?
A Breaker Block is a failed order block that becomes a new support or resistance zone after being invalidated by price. It represents a market structure shift where institutional traders (smart money) have flipped their position.
Bullish Breaker Block
A Bullish Breaker Block forms when:
1 A bearish order block (resistance zone) exists
2 Price breaks ABOVE this zone with strong displacement
3 The former resistance zone now becomes SUPPORT
4 Price may retest this zone before continuing higher
Visual: Green box with "BB ▲" label
Bearish Breaker Block
A Bearish Breaker Block forms when:
5 A bullish order block (support zone) exists
6 Price breaks BELOW this zone with strong displacement
7 The former support zone now becomes RESISTANCE
8 Price may retest this zone before continuing lower
Visual: Red box with "BB ▼" label
⚙️ Default Settings
Setting Default Range Description
Lookback Period 1000 100-5000 Number of historical candles to analyze
Max Breaker Blocks 5 1-50 Maximum number of breaker blocks to display
Swing Detection Length 10 2-20 Bars on each side to confirm swing high/low. Higher = more significant swings
Use Displacement Filter true true/false Enable to filter breaker blocks by displacement size
Displacement Multiplier 2.0 0.5-5.0 Minimum move size as multiple of ATR. Higher = stricter detection
Invalidation Method Close Close/Wick Close = Conservative (candle must close beyond zone)Wick = Aggressive (wick touch is enough)
📈 Recommended Timeframes & Settings

Invalidation Method Close
🎓 How to Use
Step 1: Identify Breaker Blocks
Once the indicator is loaded, breaker blocks will automatically appear on your chart:
• Green boxes = Bullish breaker blocks (former resistance, now support)
• Red boxes = Bearish breaker blocks (former support, now resistance)
Step 2: Wait for Retest
The most reliable trading opportunities occur when price retests the breaker block zone:
• For bullish breaker blocks, wait for price to come back down to the green zone
• For bearish breaker blocks, wait for price to come back up to the red zone
Step 3: Look for Confluence
Combine breaker blocks with other SMC concepts for higher probability setups:
• Fair Value Gaps (FVG) within the breaker block zone
• Liquidity grabs before the retest
• Break of Structure (BoS) or Change of Character (ChoCH) confirmation
Step 4: Enter the Trade
Bullish Setup:
• Entry: At or near the bullish breaker block zone
• Stop Loss: Below the breaker block
• Take Profit: Previous swing high or higher
Bearish Setup:
• Entry: At or near the bearish breaker block zone
• Stop Loss: Above the breaker block
• Take Profit: Previous swing low or lower
🛡️ Non-Repainting Guarantee
This indicator is 100% non-repainting, meaning:
✅ Breaker blocks never change position after formation
✅ Historical breaker blocks remain in the exact same location indefinitely
✅ Backtesting results are reliable and consistent
🐛 Troubleshooting
Issue: No Breaker Blocks Appearing
Solutions:
• Ensure "Use Displacement Filter" is enabled.
• On M30/H1, try lowering the "Displacement Multiplier" to 1.0.
• Scroll back in history; blocks may not be present on the most recent bars.
Issue: Too Many Breaker Blocks
Solutions:
• Increase "Displacement Multiplier" to 2.5 or 3.0.
• Increase "Swing Detection Length" to 12-15.
• Decrease "Max Breaker Blocks" to 3-4.
Mars Signals - Ultimate Institutional Suite v3.0(Joker)Comprehensive Trading Manual
Mars Signals – Ultimate Institutional Suite v3.0 (Joker)
## Chapter 1 – Philosophy & System Architecture
This script is not a simple “buy/sell” indicator.
Mars Signals – UIS v3.0 (Joker) is designed as an institutional-style analytical assistant that layers several methodologies into a single, coherent framework.
The system is built on four core pillars:
1. Smart Money Concepts (SMC)
- Detection of Order Blocks (professional demand/supply zones).
- Detection of Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) (price imbalances).
2. Smart DCA Strategy
- Combination of RSI and Bollinger Bands
- Identifies statistically discounted zones for scaling into spot positions or exiting shorts.
3. Volume Profile (Visible Range Simulation)
- Distribution of volume by price, not by time.
- Identification of POC (Point of Control) and high-/low-volume areas.
4. Wyckoff Helper – Spring
- Detection of bear traps, liquidity grabs, and sharp bullish reversals.
All four pillars feed into a Confluence Engine (Scoring System).
The final output is presented in the Dashboard, with a clear, human-readable signal:
- STRONG LONG 🚀
- WEAK LONG ↗
- NEUTRAL / WAIT
- WEAK SHORT ↘
- STRONG SHORT 🩸
This allows the trader to see *how many* and *which* layers of the system support a bullish or bearish bias at any given time.
## Chapter 2 – Settings Overview
### 2.1 General & Dashboard Group
- Show Dashboard Panel (`show_dash`)
Turns the dashboard table in the corner of the chart ON/OFF.
- Show Signal Recommendation (`show_rec`)
- If enabled, the textual signal (STRONG LONG, WEAK SHORT, etc.) is displayed.
- If disabled, you only see feature status (ON/OFF) and the current price.
- Dashboard Position (`dash_pos`)
Determines where the dashboard appears on the chart:
- `Top Right`
- `Bottom Right`
- `Top Left`
### 2.2 Smart Money (SMC) Group
- Enable SMC Strategy (`show_smc`)
Globally enables or disables the Order Block and FVG logic.
- Order Block Pivot Lookback (`ob_period`)
Main parameter for detecting key pivot highs/lows (swing points).
- Default value: 5
- Concept:
A bar is considered a pivot low if its low is lower than the lows of the previous 5 and the next 5 bars.
Similarly, a pivot high has a high higher than the previous 5 and the next 5 bars.
These pivots are used as anchors for Order Blocks.
- Increasing `ob_period`:
- Fewer levels.
- But levels tend to be more significant and reliable.
- In highly volatile markets (major news, war events, FOMC, etc.),
using values 7–10 is recommended to filter out weak levels.
- Show Fair Value Gaps (`show_fvg`)
Enables/disables the drawing of FVG zones (imbalances).
- Bullish OB Color (`c_ob_bull`)
- Color of Bullish Order Blocks (Demand Zones).
- Default: semi-transparent green (transparency ≈ 80).
- Bearish OB Color (`c_ob_bear`)
- Color of Bearish Order Blocks (Supply Zones).
- Default: semi-transparent red.
- Bullish FVG Color (`c_fvg_bull`)
- Color of Bullish FVG (upward imbalance), typically yellow.
- Bearish FVG Color (`c_fvg_bear`)
- Color of Bearish FVG (downward imbalance), typically purple.
### 2.3 Smart DCA Strategy Group
- Enable DCA Zones (`show_dca`)
Enables the Smart DCA logic and visual labels.
- RSI Length (`rsi_len`)
Lookback period for RSI (default: 14).
- Shorter → more sensitive, more noise.
- Longer → fewer signals, higher reliability.
- Bollinger Bands Length (`bb_len`)
Moving average period for Bollinger Bands (default: 20).
- BB Multiplier (`bb_mult`)
Standard deviation multiplier for Bollinger Bands (default: 2.0).
- For extremely volatile markets, values like 2.5–3.0 can be used so that only extreme deviations trigger a DCA signal.
### 2.4 Volume Profile (Visible Range Sim) Group
- Show Volume Profile (`show_vp`)
Enables the simulated Volume Profile bars on the right side of the chart.
- Volume Lookback Bars (`vp_lookback`)
Number of bars used to compute the Volume Profile (default: 150).
- Higher values → broader historical context, heavier computation.
- Row Count (`vp_rows`)
Number of vertical price segments (rows) to divide the total price range into (default: 30).
- Width (%) (`vp_width`)
Relative width of each volume bar as a percentage.
In the code, bar widths are scaled relative to the row with the maximum volume.
> Technical note: Volume Profile calculations are executed only on the last bar (`barstate.islast`) to keep the script performant even on higher timeframes.
### 2.5 Wyckoff Helper Group
- Show Wyckoff Events (`show_wyc`)
Enables detection and plotting of Wyckoff Spring events.
- Volume MA Length (`vol_ma_len`)
Length of the moving average on volume.
A bar is considered to have Ultra Volume if its volume is more than 2× the volume MA.
## Chapter 3 – Smart Money Strategy (Order Blocks & FVG)
### 3.1 What Is an Order Block?
An Order Block (OB) represents the footprint of large institutional orders:
- Bullish Order Block (Demand Zone)
The last selling region (bearish candle/cluster) before a strong upward move.
- Bearish Order Block (Supply Zone)
The last buying region (bullish candle/cluster) before a strong downward move.
Institutions and large players place heavy orders in these regions. Typical price behavior:
- Price moves away from the zone.
- Later returns to the same zone to fill unfilled orders.
- Then continues the larger trend.
In the script:
- If `pl` (pivot low) forms → a Bullish OB is created.
- If `ph` (pivot high) forms → a Bearish OB is created.
The box is drawn:
- From `bar_index ` to `bar_index`.
- Between `low ` and `high `.
- `extend=extend.right` extends the OB into the future, so it acts as a dynamic support/resistance zone.
- Only the last 4 OB boxes are kept to avoid clutter.
### 3.2 Order Block Color Guide
- Semi-transparent Green (`c_ob_bull`)
- Represents a Bullish Order Block (Demand Zone).
- Interpretation: a price region with a high probability of bullish reaction.
- Semi-transparent Red (`c_ob_bear`)
- Represents a Bearish Order Block (Supply Zone).
- Interpretation: a price region with a high probability of bearish reaction.
Overlap (Multiple OBs in the Same Area)
When two or more Order Blocks overlap:
- The shared area appears visually denser/stronger.
- This suggests higher order density.
- Such zones can be treated as high-priority levels for entries, exits, and stop-loss placement.
### 3.3 Demand/Supply Logic in the Scoring Engine
is_in_demand = low <= ta.lowest(low, 20)
is_in_supply = high >= ta.highest(high, 20)
- If current price is near the lowest lows of the last 20 bars, it is considered in a Demand Zone → positive impact on score.
- If current price is near the highest highs of the last 20 bars, it is considered in a Supply Zone → negative impact on score.
This logic complements Order Blocks and helps the Dashboard distinguish whether:
- Market is currently in a statistically cheap (long-friendly) area, or
- In a statistically expensive (short-friendly) area.
### 3.4 Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
#### Concept
When the market moves aggressively:
- Some price levels are skipped and never traded.
- A gap between wicks/shadows of consecutive candles appears.
- These regions are called Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) or Imbalances.
The market generally “dislikes” imbalance and often:
- Returns to these zones in the future.
- Fills the gap (rebalance).
- Then resumes its dominant direction.
#### Implementation in the Code
Bullish FVG (Yellow)
fvg_bull_cond = show_smc and show_fvg and low > high and close > high
if fvg_bull_cond
box.new(bar_index , high , bar_index, low, ...)
Core condition:
`low > high ` → the current low is above the high of two bars ago; the space between them is an untraded gap.
Bearish FVG (Purple)
fvg_bear_cond = show_smc and show_fvg and high < low and close < low
if fvg_bear_cond
box.new(bar_index , low , bar_index, high, ...)
Core condition:
`high < low ` → the current high is below the low of two bars ago; again a price gap exists.
#### FVG Color Guide
- Transparent Yellow (`c_fvg_bull`) – Bullish FVG
Often acts like a magnet for price:
- Price tends to retrace into this zone,
- Fill the imbalance,
- And then continue higher.
- Transparent Purple (`c_fvg_bear`) – Bearish FVG
Price tends to:
- Retrace upward into the purple area,
- Fill the imbalance,
- And then resume downward movement.
#### Trading with FVGs
- FVGs are *not* standalone entry signals.
They are best used as:
- Targets (take-profit zones), or
- Reaction areas where you expect a pause or reversal.
Examples:
- If you are long, a bearish FVG above is often an excellent take-profit zone.
- If you are short, a bullish FVG below is often a good cover/exit zone.
### 3.5 Core SMC Trading Templates
#### Reversal Long
1. Price trades down into a green Order Block (Demand Zone).
2. A bullish confirmation candle (Close > Open) forms inside or just above the OB.
3. If this zone is close to or aligned with a bullish FVG (yellow), the signal is reinforced.
4. Entry:
- At the close of the confirmation candle, or
- Using a limit order near the upper boundary of the OB.
5. Stop-loss:
- Slightly below the OB.
- If the OB is broken decisively and price consolidates below it, the zone loses validity.
6. Targets:
- The next FVG,
- Or the next red Order Block (Supply Zone) above.
#### Reversal Short
The mirror scenario:
- Price rallies into a red Order Block (Supply).
- A bearish confirmation candle forms (Close < Open).
- FVG/premium structure above can act as a confluence.
- Stop-loss goes above the OB.
- Targets: lower FVGs or subsequent green OBs below.
## Chapter 4 – Smart DCA Strategy (RSI + Bollinger Bands)
### 4.1 Smart DCA Concept
- Classic DCA = buying at fixed time intervals regardless of price.
- Smart DCA = scaling in only when:
- Price is statistically cheaper than usual, and
- The market is in a clear oversold condition.
Code logic:
rsi_val = ta.rsi(close, rsi_len)
= ta.bb(close, bb_len, bb_mult)
dca_buy = show_dca and rsi_val < 30 and close < bb_lower
dca_sell = show_dca and rsi_val > 70 and close > bb_upper
Conditions:
- DCA Buy – Smart Scale-In Zone
- RSI < 30 → oversold.
- Close < lower Bollinger Band → price has broken below its typical volatility envelope.
- DCA Sell – Overbought/Distribution Zone
- RSI > 70 → overbought.
- Close > upper Bollinger Band → price is extended far above the mean.
### 4.2 Visual Representation on the Chart
- Green “DCA” Label Below Candle
- Shape: `labelup`.
- Color: lime background, white text.
- Meaning: statistically attractive level for laddered spot entries or short exits.
- Red “SELL” Label Above Candle
- Warning that the market is in an extended, overbought condition.
- Suitable for profit-taking on longs or considering short entries (with proper confluence and risk management).
- Light Green Background (`bgcolor`)
- When `dca_buy` is true, the candle background turns very light green (high transparency).
- This helps visually identify DCA Zones across the chart at a glance.
### 4.3 Practical Use in Trading
#### Spot Trading
Used to build a better average entry price:
- Every time a DCA label appears, allocate a fixed portion of capital (e.g., 2–5%).
- Combining DCA signals with:
- Green OBs (Demand Zones), and/or
- The Volume Profile POC
makes the zone structurally more important.
#### Futures Trading
- Longs
- Use DCA Buy signals as low-risk zones for opening or adding to longs when:
- Price is inside a green OB, or
- The Dashboard already leans LONG.
- Shorts
- Use DCA Sell signals as:
- Exit zones for longs, or
- Areas to initiate shorts with stops above structural highs.
## Chapter 5 – Volume Profile (Visible Range Simulation)
### 5.1 Concept
Traditional volume (histogram under the chart) shows volume over time.
Volume Profile shows volume by price level:
- At which prices has the highest trading activity occurred?
- Where did buyers and sellers agree the most (High Volume Nodes – HVNs)?
- Where did price move quickly due to low participation (Low Volume Nodes – LVNs)?
### 5.2 Implementation in the Script
Executed only when `show_vp` is enabled and on the last bar:
1. The last `vp_lookback` bars (default 150) are processed.
2. The minimum low and maximum high over this window define the price range.
3. This price range is divided into `vp_rows` segments (e.g., 30 rows).
4. For each row:
- All bars are scanned.
- If the mid-price `(high + low ) / 2` falls inside a row, that bar’s volume is added to the row total.
5. The row with the greatest volume is stored as `max_vol_idx` (the POC row).
6. For each row, a volume box is drawn on the right side of the chart.
### 5.3 Color Scheme
- Semi-transparent Orange
- The row with the maximum volume – the Point of Control (POC).
- Represents the strongest support/resistance level from a volume perspective.
- Semi-transparent Blue
- Other volume rows.
- The taller the bar → the higher the volume → the stronger the interest at that price band.
### 5.4 Trading Applications
- If price is above POC and retraces back into it:
→ POC often acts as support, suitable for long setups.
- If price is below POC and rallies into it:
→ POC often acts as resistance, suitable for short setups or profit-taking.
HVNs (Tall Blue Bars)
- Represent areas of equilibrium where the market has spent time and traded heavily.
- Price tends to consolidate here before choosing a direction.
LVNs (Short or Nearly Empty Bars)
- Represent low participation zones.
- Price often moves quickly through these areas – useful for targeting fast moves.
## Chapter 6 – Wyckoff Helper – Spring
### 6.1 Spring Concept
In the Wyckoff framework:
- A Spring is a false break of support.
- The market briefly trades below a well-defined support level, triggers stop losses,
then sharply reverses upward as institutional buyers absorb liquidity.
This movement:
- Clears out weak hands (retail sellers).
- Provides large players with liquidity to enter long positions.
- Often initiates a new uptrend.
### 6.2 Code Logic
Conditions for a Spring:
1. The current low is lower than the lowest low of the previous 50 bars
→ apparent break of a long-standing support.
2. The bar closes bullish (Close > Open)
→ the breakdown was rejected.
3. Volume is significantly elevated:
→ `volume > 2 × volume_MA` (Ultra Volume).
When all conditions are met and `show_wyc` is enabled:
- A pink diamond is plotted below the bar,
- With the label “Spring” – one of the strongest long signals in this system.
### 6.3 Trading Use
- After a valid Spring, markets frequently enter a meaningful bullish phase.
- The highest quality setups occur when:
- The Spring forms inside a green Order Block, and
- Near or on the Volume Profile POC.
Entries:
- At the close of the Spring bar, or
- On the first pullback into the mid-range of the Spring candle.
Stop-loss:
- Slightly below the Spring’s lowest point (wick low plus a small buffer).
## Chapter 7 – Confluence Engine & Dashboard
### 7.1 Scoring Logic
For each bar, the script:
1. Resets `score` to 0.
2. Adjusts the score based on different signals.
SMC Contribution
if show_smc
if is_in_demand
score += 1
if is_in_supply
score -= 1
- Being in Demand → `+1`
- Being in Supply → `-1`
DCA Contribution
if show_dca
if dca_buy
score += 2
if dca_sell
score -= 2
- DCA Buy → `+2` (strong, statistically driven long signal)
- DCA Sell → `-2`
Wyckoff Spring Contribution
if show_wyc
if wyc_spring
score += 2
- Spring → `+2` (entry of strong money)
### 7.2 Mapping Score to Dashboard Signal
- score ≥ 2 → STRONG LONG 🚀
Multiple bullish conditions aligned.
- score = 1 → WEAK LONG ↗
Some bullish bias, but only one layer clearly positive.
- score = 0 → NEUTRAL / WAIT
Rough balance between buying and selling forces; staying flat is usually preferable.
- score = -1 → WEAK SHORT ↘
Mild bearish bias, suited for cautious or short-term plays.
- score ≤ -2 → STRONG SHORT 🩸
Convergence of several bearish signals.
### 7.3 Dashboard Structure
The dashboard is a two-column table:
- Row 0
- Column 0: `"Mars Signals"` – black background, white text.
- Column 1: `"UIS v3.0"` – black background, yellow text.
- Row 1
- Column 0: `"Price:"` (light grey background).
- Column 1: current closing price (`close`) with a semi-transparent blue background.
- Row 2
- Column 0: `"SMC:"`
- Column 1:
- `"ON"` (green) if `show_smc = true`
- `"OFF"` (grey) otherwise.
- Row 3
- Column 0: `"DCA:"`
- Column 1:
- `"ON"` (green) if `show_dca = true`
- `"OFF"` (grey) otherwise.
- Row 4
- Column 0: `"Signal:"`
- Column 1: signal text (`status_txt`) with background color `status_col`
(green, red, teal, maroon, etc.)
- If `show_rec = false`, these cells are cleared.

## Chapter 9 – Timeframe-Based Trading Playbook
### 9.1 Timeframe Selection
- Scalping
- Timeframes: 1M, 5M, 15M
- Objective: fast intraday moves (minutes to a few hours).
- Recommendation: focus on SMC + Wyckoff.
Smart DCA on very low timeframes may introduce excessive noise.
- Day Trading
- Timeframes: 15M, 1H, 4H
- Provides a good balance between signal quality and frequency.
- Recommendation: use the full stack – SMC + DCA + Volume Profile + Wyckoff + Dashboard.
- Swing Trading & Position Investing
- Timeframes: Daily, Weekly
- Emphasis on Smart DCA + Volume Profile.
- SMC and Wyckoff are used mainly to fine-tune swing entries within larger trends.
### 9.2 Scenario A – Scalping Long
Example: 5-Minute Chart
1. Price is declining into a green OB (Bullish Demand).
2. A candle with a long lower wick and bullish close (Pin Bar / Rejection) forms inside the OB.
3. A Spring diamond appears below the same candle → very strong confluence.
4. The Dashboard shows at least WEAK LONG ↗, ideally STRONG LONG 🚀.
5. Entry:
- On the close of the confirmation candle, or
- On the first pullback into the mid-range of that candle.
6. Stop-loss:
- Slightly below the OB.
7. Targets:
- Nearby bearish FVG above, and/or
- The next red OB.
### 9.3 Scenario B – Day-Trading Short
Recommended Timeframes: 1H or 4H
1. The market completes a strong impulsive move upward.
2. Price enters a red Order Block (Supply).
3. In the same zone, a purple FVG appears or remains unfilled.
4. On a lower timeframe (e.g., 15M), RSI enters overbought territory and a DCA Sell signal appears.
5. The main timeframe Dashboard (1H) shows WEAK SHORT ↘ or STRONG SHORT 🩸.
Trade Plan
- Open a short near the upper boundary of the red OB.
- Place the stop above the OB or above the last swing high.
- Targets:
- A yellow FVG lower on the chart, and/or
- The next green OB (Demand) below.
### 9.4 Scenario C – Swing / Investment with Smart DCA
Timeframes: Daily / Weekly
1. On the daily or weekly chart, each time a green “DCA” label appears:
- Allocate a fixed fraction of your capital (e.g., 3–5%) to that asset.
2. Check whether this DCA zone aligns with the orange POC of the Volume Profile:
- If yes → the quality of the entry zone is significantly higher.
3. If the DCA signal sits inside a daily green OB, the probability of a medium-term bottom increases.
4. Always build the position laddered, never all-in at a single price.
Exits for investors:
- Near weekly red OBs or large purple FVG zones.
- Ideally via partial profit-taking rather than closing 100% at once.
### 9.5 Case Study 1 – BTCUSDT (15-Minute)
- Context: Price has sold off down towards 65,000 USD.
- A green OB had previously formed at that level.
- Near the lower boundary of this OB, a partially filled yellow FVG is present.
- As price returns to this region, a Spring appears.
- The Dashboard shifts from NEUTRAL / WAIT to WEAK LONG ↗.
Plan
- Enter a long near the OB low.
- Place stop below the Spring low.
- First target: a purple FVG around 66,200.
- Second (optional) target: the first red OB above that level.
### 9.6 Case Study 2 – Meme Coin (PEPE – 4H)
- After a strong pump, price enters a corrective phase.
- On the 4H chart, RSI drops below 30; price breaks below the lower Bollinger Band → a DCA label prints.
- The Volume Profile shows the POC at approximately the same level.
- The Dashboard displays STRONG LONG 🚀.
Plan
- Execute laddered buys in the combined DCA + POC zone.
- Place a protective stop below the last significant swing low.
- Target: an expected 20–30% upside move towards the next red OB or purple FVG.
## Chapter 10 – Risk Management, Psychology & Advanced Tuning
### 10.1 Risk Management
No signal, regardless of its strength, replaces risk control.
Recommendations:
- In futures, do not expose more than 1–3% of account equity to risk per trade.
- Adjust leverage to the volatility of the instrument (lower leverage for highly volatile altcoins).
- Place stop-losses in zones where the idea is clearly invalidated:
- Below/above the relevant Order Block or Spring, not randomly in the middle of the structure.
### 10.2 Market-Specific Parameter Tuning
- Calmer Markets (e.g., major FX pairs)
- `ob_period`: 3–5.
- `bb_mult`: 2.0 is usually sufficient.
- Highly Volatile Markets (Crypto, news-driven assets)
- `ob_period`: 7–10 to highlight only the most robust OBs.
- `bb_mult`: 2.5–3.0 so that only extreme deviations trigger DCA.
- `vol_ma_len`: increase (e.g., to ~30) so that Spring triggers only on truly exceptional
volume spikes.
### 10.3 Trading Psychology
- STRONG LONG 🚀 does not mean “risk-free”.
It means the probability of a successful long, given the model’s logic, is higher than average.
- Treat Mars Signals as a confirmation and context system, not a full replacement for your own decision-making.
- Example of disciplined thinking:
- The Dashboard prints STRONG LONG,
- But price is simultaneously testing a multi-month macro resistance or a major negative news event is imminent,
- In such cases, trade smaller, widen stops appropriately, or skip the trade.
## Chapter 11 – Technical Notes & FAQ
### 11.1 Does the Script Repaint?
- Order Blocks and Springs are based on completed pivot structures and confirmed candles.
- Until a pivot is confirmed, an OB does not exist; after confirmation, behavior is stable under classic SMC assumptions.
- The script is designed to be structurally consistent rather than repainting signals arbitrarily.
### 11.2 Computational Load of Volume Profile
- On the last bar, the script processes up to `vp_lookback` bars × `vp_rows` rows.
- On very low timeframes with heavy zooming, this can become demanding.
- If you experience performance issues:
- Reduce `vp_lookback` or `vp_rows`, or
- Temporarily disable Volume Profile (`show_vp = false`).
### 11.3 Multi-Timeframe Behavior
- This version of the script is not internally multi-timeframe.
All logic (OB, DCA, Spring, Volume Profile) is computed on the active timeframe only.
- Practical workflow:
- Analyze overall structure and key zones on higher timeframes (4H / Daily).
- Use lower timeframes (15M / 1H) with the same tool for timing entries and exits.
## Conclusion
Mars Signals – Ultimate Institutional Suite v3.0 (Joker) is a multi-layer trading framework that unifies:
- Price structure (Order Blocks & FVG),
- Statistical behavior (Smart DCA via RSI + Bollinger),

into a single, coherent system driven by a transparent Confluence Scoring Engine.
The final output is presented in clear, actionable language:
> STRONG LONG / WEAK LONG / NEUTRAL / WEAK SHORT / STRONG SHORT
The system is designed to support professional decision-making, not to replace it.
Used together with strict risk management and disciplined execution,
Mars Signals – UIS v3.0 (Joker) can serve as a central reference manual and operational guide
for your trading workflow, from scalping to swing and investment positioning.
TMB Invest - Smart Money Concept StrategyEnglish:
**Quick Overview**
The "TMB_SMC_Strategy_v1.1.3" combines a classic trend filter using two EMAs with contrarian RSI entries and simple SMC elements (Fair Value Gaps & Order Blocks). Stop-loss and take-profit orders are volatility-adaptive and controlled via the ATR. An integrated dashboard displays the setup status, stop-loss/take-profit levels, entry reference, and trend, RSI, and ATR values.
---
## Operating Principle
1. **Trend Filter:** A fast EMA (default 50) is compared to a slow EMA (default 200). Trading occurs only in the direction of the trend: long in uptrends, short in downtrends.
2. **Timing via RSI:** Contrarian entries within the trend. Go long when the RSI is below a buy level (default 40); Short when the RSI is above a sell level (standard 60).
3. **Structure Check (SMC Proxy):** An "FVG Touch" serves as additional confirmation that an inefficient price zone has been tested. Order blocks are visualized for guidance but are not a direct entry trigger.
4. **Risk Management via ATR:** Stop-loss and take-profit levels are set as multipliers of the current ATR (e.g., SL = 1×ATR, TP = 2×ATR). This allows target and risk distances to adjust to market volatility.
5. **Simple Position Logic:** Only one position is held at a time (no pyramiding). After entry, stop and limit orders (bracket exit) are automatically placed.
---
## Input Values
* **EMA Fast / EMA Slow:** Lengths of the moving averages for the trend filter.
* **RSI Length / Levels:** Length of the RSI as well as buy and sell thresholds (contra signals within the trend direction).
* **Take Profit (RR) / Stop Loss (RR):** ATR multipliers for TP and SL.
* **Show FVGs & Order Blocks:** Toggles the visual SMC elements (zones/boxes) on or off.
--
## Signals & Execution
* **Long Setup:** Uptrend (fast EMA above slow EMA) **and** RSI below the buy level **and** a current FVG signal in a bullish direction.
* **Short Setup:** Downtrend (fast EMA below slow EMA) **and** RSI above the sell level **and** a current FVG touch in a bearish direction.
* **Entry & Exit:** If the setup is met, the market is entered; stop-loss/take-profit orders are placed immediately according to ATR multiples.
--
## Visualization
* **EMAs:** The fast and slow EMAs are plotted to illustrate the trend.
* **FVGs:** Fair Value Gaps are drawn as semi-transparent boxes in the trend color and projected slightly into the future.
* **Order Blocks:** Potential order block zones from the previous candle are visually highlighted (for informational purposes only).
---
## Integrated Dashboard
A compact table dashboard (bottom left) displays:
* Current **Setup Status** (Long/Short active, Long/Short ready, No Setup),
* **Stop-Loss**, **Take-Profit**, and **Entry Reference**,
* **Trend Status** (Bull/Bear/Sideways),
* **RSI Value**, and **ATR Value**.
Active long/short positions are highlighted in color (green/red).
--
## Practical Guide
1. **Place on Chart** and select the desired timeframe.
2. **Calibrate Parameters** (EMA lengths, RSI levels, ATR multipliers) to match the market and timeframe.
3. **Backtest** across different market phases; prioritize robustness over maximum curve fit.
4. **Fine-Tuning:**
* Shorter EMAs are often useful intraday (e.g., 20/100 or 34/144).
* Adjust RSI levels to market characteristics (45/55 for aggressive trading, 30/70 for conservative trading).
* Increase or decrease ATR multipliers depending on volatility/trading style.
--
## Notes, Limitations & Extensions
* **FVG Definition:** The FVG detection used here is intentionally simplified. Those who prefer a more rigorous approach can switch to a 3-candle definition and fill levels.
* **Order Blocks:** These primarily serve as a guide. Integration into entry/exit logic (e.g., retests) is possible as an extension.
* **Backtest Realism:** Fills may differ from the displayed closing price. For greater accuracy, intrabar backtests or an entry indicator based on the average position price are conceivable.
* **Alerts:** Currently, no alert conditions are defined; these can be added for long/short setups and status messages.
* **Position Management:** By default, no scaling is performed. Partial sales, trailing stops, or multiple entries can be added.
---
## Purpose & Benefits
The strategy offers a clear, modular framework: trend filter (direction), RSI contra timing (entry), SMC proxy via FVG Touch (structure), and ATR-based exits (risk adaptation). This makes it robust, easy to understand, and highly extensible—both for discretionary traders who appreciate visual SMC elements and for systematic testers who prefer a clean, parameterizable foundation.
ICT Indicator with Paper TradingThe strategy implemented in the provided Pine Script is based on **ICT (Inner Circle Trader)** concepts, particularly focusing on **order blocks** to identify key levels for potential reversals or continuations in the market. Below is a detailed description of the strategy:
### 1. **Order Block Concept**
- **Order blocks** are price levels where large institutional orders accumulate, often leading to a reversal or continuation of price movement.
- In this strategy, **order blocks** are identified when:
- The high of the current bar crosses above the high of the previous bar (for bullish order blocks).
- The low of the current bar crosses below the low of the previous bar (for bearish order blocks).
### 2. **Buy and Sell Signal Generation**
The core of the strategy revolves around identifying the **breakout** of order blocks, which is interpreted as a signal to either enter or exit trades:
- **Buy Signal**:
- Generated when the closing price crosses **above** the last identified bullish order block (i.e., the highest point during the last upward crossover of highs).
- This signals a potential upward trend, and the strategy enters a long position.
- **Sell Signal**:
- Generated when the closing price crosses **below** the last identified bearish order block (i.e., the lowest point during the last downward crossover of lows).
- This signals a potential downward trend, and the strategy exits any open long positions.
### 3. **Strategy Execution**
The strategy is executed using the `strategy.entry()` and `strategy.close()` functions:
- **Enter Long Positions**: When a buy signal is generated, the strategy opens a long position (buying).
- **Exit Positions**: When a sell signal is generated, the strategy closes the long position.
### 4. **Visual Indicators on the Chart**
To make the strategy easier to follow visually, buy and sell signals are marked directly on the chart:
- **Buy signals** are indicated with a green upward-facing triangle above the bar where the signal occurred.
- **Sell signals** are indicated with a red downward-facing triangle below the bar where the signal occurred.
### 5. **Key Elements of the Strategy**
- **Trend Continuation and Reversals**: This strategy is attempting to capture trends based on the breakout of important price levels (order blocks). When the price breaks above or below a significant order block, it is expected that the market will continue in that direction.
- **Order Block Strength**: Order blocks are considered strong areas where price action could reverse or accelerate, based on how institutional investors place large orders.
### 6. **Paper Trading**
This script uses **paper trading** to simulate trades without actual money being involved. This allows users to backtest the strategy, seeing how it would have performed in historical market conditions.
### 7. **Basic Strategy Flow**
1. **Order Block Identification**: The script constantly monitors price movements to detect bullish and bearish order blocks.
2. **Buy Signal**: If the closing price crosses above the last order block high, the strategy interprets it as a sign of bullish momentum and enters a long position.
3. **Sell Signal**: If the closing price crosses below the last order block low, it signals a bearish momentum, and the strategy closes the long position.
4. **Visual Representation**: Buy and sell signals are displayed on the chart for easy identification.
### **Advantages of the Strategy:**
- **Simple and Clear Rules**: The strategy is based on clearly defined rules for identifying order blocks and trade signals.
- **Effective for Trend Following**: By focusing on breakouts of order blocks, this strategy attempts to capture strong trends in the market.
- **Visual Aids**: The plot of buy/sell signals helps traders to quickly see where trades would have been placed.
### **Limitations:**
- **No Shorting**: This strategy only enters long positions (buying). It does not account for shorting opportunities.
- **No Risk Management**: There are no built-in stop losses, trailing stops, or profit targets, which could expose the strategy to large losses during adverse market conditions.
- **Whipsaws in Range Markets**: The strategy could produce false signals in sideways or choppy markets, where breakouts are short-lived and prices quickly reverse.
### **Overall Strategy Objective:**
The goal of the strategy is to enter into long positions when the price breaks above a significant order block, and exit when it breaks below. The strategy is designed for trend-following, with the assumption that price will continue in the direction of the breakout.

MA OrderBlocks [AlgoAlpha]🟨 HMA OrderBlocks by AlgoAlpha is a powerful tool designed to help traders visualize key pivot zones and order blocks based on the Hull Moving Average (HMA). By dynamically identifying bullish and bearish pivot points, this script provides insights into potential price reversals and trend continuations. With customizable settings, it allows traders to tweak the behavior of the indicator to match their strategies. Plus, it comes packed with built-in alerts for trend changes, making it easier to spot potential trade opportunities.
Key Features :
📊 Trend Detection : Utilizes Hull Moving Average to detect the current trend.
🟢🔴 Bullish & Bearish Zones : Automatically plots bullish and bearish order blocks, using customizable colors for clear visual cues.
🎯 Pivot Points : Detects and marks pivot highs and lows, helping traders spot key price reversals.
🚨 Alerts : Built-in alert system for when the price approaches key bullish or bearish zones, or when the trend changes.
🔨 Customizable MA: Choose from various moving averages (SMA, HMA, EMA, etc.) to suit your strategy.
How to Use :
⭐ Add the Indicator : Add the indicators to favourites by pressing the star icon. Once added, configure settings like the Hull MA period and pivot detection period.
📈 Analyze the Chart : Watch for the plotted order blocks and pivot points to identify possible price action strategies.
🔔 Enable Alerts : Set up alerts to be notified of potential trend reversals or when the price nears a bullish/bearish block.
How It Works :
The script starts by calculating the Hull Moving Average (HMA) based on the user-defined length, which is used to determine the market trend direction. It compares the current HMA value with the previous one to confirm whether the price is trending upwards or downwards. Once a trend change is detected, it plots bullish or bearish order blocks based on recent pivot highs and lows. These zones are extended in real-time as long as they remain invalidated. Zones are invalidated are invalidated when price completely closes through them. If the price gets close to a zone in the opposing direction, a warning system alerts the user that the block may not hold. Additionally, customizable alerts trigger whenever the price trend shifts or the price gets near important bullish/bearish blocks. The script’s logic ensures that order blocks are cleared if price violates them, keeping the chart clean and updated.
Propulsion Blocks | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Propulsion Blocks indicator! This new indicator can find & render ICT's propulsion blocks in the current ticker. It's highly customizable with detection, invalidation and style settings. For more information, please visit the "HOW DOES IT WORK ?" section.
Features of the new Propulsion Blocks indicator :
Render Bullish & Bearish Propulsion Blocks
Customizable Algorithm
Enable / Disable Historic Zones
Visual Customizability
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Order blocks occur when there is a high amount of market orders exist on a price range. It is possible to find order blocks using specific formations on the chart. One of which this indicator uses requires a large engulfing candlestick right after another one of the opposite direction. Then if the price comes back to retest the area that two candlesticks create, then it's an order block pattern.
Propulsion blocks are a specific type of order block used in the trading methodology. They build on the concept of order blocks and aim to identify potential areas for strong price movements. They are detected when a candlestick wicks to any existing order block, retesting it. Then a strong momentum in the direction of the order block is needed for the propulsion block to get created. Check this example :
You can use them as entry / exit points, or for confirmations for your trades. For example, a successful retest attempt to a bullish propulsion block might hint a strong bullish momentum. This indicator works best when used together with other ICT concepts.
🚩UNIQUENESS
Propulsion blocks can help traders identify key levels in a chart, and can be used mainly for confirmation. This indicator can identify and show them automatically in your chart, and provides customization settings for order & propulsion block detection and invalidation. Another capability of the indicator is that it combines overlapping order & propulsion blocks so you will have a clean look at the chart without any overlapping zones.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Show Historic Zones -> This setting will hide invalidated propulsion blocks if enabled.
Max Distance To Last Bar -> This setting defines the maximum range that the indicator will find propulsion blocks to the past. Higher options will make older zones visible.
Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for Order Block & Propulsion Block Invalidation.
Swing Length -> Swing length is used when finding order block formations. Smaller values will result in finding smaller order blocks.
White Crow**White Crow — cluster reversal signals + market structure**
> Indicator that helps you read market structure (pivots, trend, last extremes) and spot potential reversals through CCI/RSI signal clusters. This is *not* a standalone trading system and does not guarantee any result — it is a tool for filtering and confirming your own market ideas.
---
## 1. Concept
White Crow combines three core blocks:
1. **Pivots & market structure**
Automatically detects **local tops/bottoms** and derives a *Bullish / Bearish / Sideways* bias from them.
In the top-right corner you see a compact panel with current trend and **Last Bottom / Last Top** prices.
2. **Momentum & overbought/oversold zones**
Inside, the indicator uses:
* **CCI** with fixed levels `+100 / -100`;
* an optional **RSI filter** with overbought/oversold levels (`80 / 20`).
These generate basic *Buy / Close* signals.
3. **Cluster signals Buy X / CloseV**
The script tracks **clusters of signals inside a 4-bar window** and highlights rarer, “amplified” events:
* **Buy X** — cluster buy signal (multiple buy conditions in a row);
* **CloseV** — cluster signal for exit/reversal.
**Buy X and CloseV are the strongest and most reliable signals in this indicator** because they are based on repeated conditions rather than a single bar. They work **best on higher timeframes (1H–4H)**, where they reflect meaningful shifts in order flow instead of noise.
> ⚠️ Important: Buy X and CloseV are *only signals*. They must be used as **one of several confirmation factors** for your own view of market structure (support/resistance, trend, price action, volume, etc.), not as standalone reasons to enter or exit trades.
---
## 2. How it works
### 2.1. Pivots and trend detection
* The indicator builds a **zigzag-like structure**:
after a local high, once price retraces down by a given percentage (`pivotSigma`), a **Top** is marked;
after a local low, once price retraces up by the same percentage, a **Bottom** is marked.
* Using the sequence of recent tops and bottoms, the script determines the trend:
* *Bullish* — the last low is higher than the previous one (HL);
* *Bearish* — the last high is lower than the previous one (LH);
* otherwise — *Sideways*.
* The info table shows:
* **Market Trend** — Bullish / Bearish / Sideways;
* **Last Bottom / Last Top** with adaptive decimal precision (works for crypto, FX, stocks, etc.).
### 2.2. Base Buy / Close signals
* **Long condition (Buy):**
* `CCI < -100` (oversold),
* if RSI filter is enabled — `RSI < 20`.
* **Short/Exit condition (Close):**
* `CCI > +100` (overbought),
* if RSI filter is enabled — `RSI > 80`.
These conditions generate the regular **Buy** and **Close** labels on the chart.
### 2.3. Clusters: Buy X and CloseV
To reduce noise, the indicator evaluates not only the current bar, but also the **last 4 bars**:
* `buy_count` — how many times the long condition was true within the last 4 bars;
* `sell_count` — how many times the short condition was true within the last 4 bars.
Then:
* **Buy X** appears when:
* `buy_count ≥ 2` (conditions for Buy were met on at least 2 of the last 4 bars),
* the time filter between two Buy X signals is satisfied (`Min Bars Between Signals`).
* **CloseV** appears when:
* `sell_count ≥ 2`,
* the required number of bars has passed since the previous CloseV.
> ✅ This is why **Buy X / CloseV are stronger and more trustworthy than single Buy/Close signals**, especially on **1H–4H** timeframes: the market confirms the same overbought/oversold condition several times in a row.
### 2.4. Order Blocks
* When `Show Order Blocks` is enabled, the indicator highlights **impulsive candles** whose body exceeds a threshold based on ATR.
* Colored rectangles mark **potential order blocks** (areas where strong buying or selling previously occurred).
## 3. Inputs and customization
Inputs are grouped in TradingView-friendly categories.
### 3.1. Pivot Settings
* `Show Pivots` — enable/disable **Top / Bottom** markers.
* `Sigma (% retracement)` — pivot sensitivity (minimum retracement in % required to confirm a pivot).
* Colors for Top/Bottom — for visual tuning.
**Tip:**
On H1–H4 you can keep near-default values.
On lower timeframes, reduce `Sigma` if you want more detailed local structure.
### 3.2. CCI / RSI Settings
* `CCI Period` — CCI length (short by default for faster reaction).
* `Enable RSI Filter` / `RSI Period` — toggle and length for RSI filter.
* RSI levels are fixed at **20 / 80** to mark strong oversold/overbought zones.
**Usage:**
* For more conservative entries — keep the RSI filter enabled.
* For more frequent signals (e.g. scalping) — you can disable the RSI filter.
### 3.3. Order Blocks
* `Show Order Blocks` — display order block zones.
* `Block Threshold (ATR multiplier)` — how large a candle must be (vs ATR) to be considered significant.
### 3.4. Signals & Filters
* `Show Buy / Show Buy X / Show Close / Show CloseV` — choose which labels you want to see.
* `Enable Time Filter` — enable minimum spacing between amplified signals.
* `Min Bars Between Signals` — how many bars must pass between two Buy X or two CloseV signals.
**Tip:**
If you see too many amplified signals, increase `Min Bars Between Signals`.
If you want more activity, decrease it.
### 3.5. Alerts
* `Buy Alerts / Buy X Alerts / Close Alerts / CloseV Alerts` — choose which signal types should trigger alerts.
* `One Alert Per Bar` — when enabled, alerts are triggered only once per bar (recommended for H1–H4).
Alerts are generated via `alert()`, with messages that include signal type, ticker, timeframe and current price.

## 4. How to trade with White Crow
### 4.1. Recommended timeframes
* 📌 **Main focus: 1H–4H.**
On these timeframes:
* pivots and trend are more stable;
* CCI/RSI reflect meaningful swings;
* **Buy X / CloseV clusters** filter out a lot of intrabar noise.
You can still experiment on M1–M15, but expect more signals and more sensitivity to noise.
### 4.2. Reading the signals step by step
1. **Start with context**
* Look at **Market Trend / Last Bottom / Last Top** in the info panel.
* See where price is relative to these points: near resistance, near support, inside a range, etc.
2. **Identify zones of interest**
* Use pivots and order blocks as potential support/resistance areas.
* Wait for price to approach these zones.
3. **Watch the signals**
* **Buy** — early sign of local oversold conditions.
* **Buy X** — amplified cluster signal; more weight than a single Buy.
* **Close** — early warning of potential exhaustion in the current move.
* **CloseV** — amplified cluster exit/reversal signal.
4. **Practical approach**
* In a *Bullish* trend:
* focus on **Buy / Buy X** near bottoms and demand blocks;
* use **Close / CloseV** for partial profit-taking or tightening stops.
* In a *Bearish* trend:
* focus on **Close / CloseV** near tops and supply blocks;
* use **Buy / Buy X** mainly for countertrend scalps with strict risk control.
---
## 5. Important notes and disclaimer
1. **Buy X / CloseV are stronger — but not “magic” signals.**
They are statistically more meaningful than single Buy/Close signals because:
* they require multiple confirmations within a cluster;
* they are time-filtered.
However, **false signals are still possible**, especially in news spikes and low-liquidity conditions.
2. **Best performance on higher timeframes (1H–4H).**
Here, Buy X and CloseV usually reflect genuine shifts in supply/demand rather than micro noise.
3. **This is a confirmation tool, not a complete system.**
Pro Trading White Crow:
* does not manage risk;
* does not define position size or stop-loss;
* does not replace your own analysis.
Always use its signals as **one of several confluence factors** together with structure, trend, price action, volume, and your trading plan.
4. **Educational purpose only.**
This script and description are for educational and analytical purposes only.
They **do not constitute investment advice or a guarantee of profit**.
You are fully responsible for all trading decisions and risk management.

## White Crow — кластерные сигналы разворота + структура рынка
> Индикатор помогает читать рыночную структуру (пивоты, тренд, последние экстремумы) и находить потенциальные развороты через кластеры сигналов CCI/RSI. Это *не* готовая торговая система и *не* гарантия результата — а инструмент для фильтрации и подтверждения ваших собственных идей по рынку.
---
## 1. Концепция
White Crow объединяет три ключевых блока:
1. **Пивоты и структура рынка**
Автоматически находит **локальные вершины и впадины** и на их основе формирует трендовое смещение: *Bullish / Bearish / Sideways*.
В правом верхнем углу — компактная панель с текущим трендом и ценами **Last Bottom / Last Top**.
2. **Моментум и зоны перегрева**
Внутри используются:
* **CCI** с фиксированными уровнями `+100 / -100`;
* опциональный **фильтр RSI** с уровнями перепроданности/перекупленности (`20 / 80`).
По ним строятся базовые сигналы *Buy / Close*.
3. **Кластерные сигналы Buy X / CloseV**
Скрипт отслеживает **кластеры сигналов внутри окна в 4 бара** и выделяет более редкие, «усиленные» события:
* **Buy X** — кластерный сигнал покупки (несколько buy-условий подряд);
* **CloseV** — кластерный сигнал выхода/разворота.
Именно **Buy X и CloseV являются наиболее сильными и достоверными сигналами индикатора**, так как возникают при повторяющемся выполнении условий, а не на одном баре. Лучше всего они работают **на старших таймфреймах (1–4 часа)**, где отражают реальное смещение баланса спроса/предложения, а не рыночный шум.
> ⚠️ Важно: Buy X и CloseV — *это всего лишь сигналы*. Они должны использоваться **как один из факторов подтверждения** вашего видения структуры рынка (уровни, тренд, price action, объём и т.д.), а не как единственная причина для входа или выхода.
---
## 2. Как это работает
### 2.1. Пивоты и определение тренда
* Индикатор строит **структуру в стиле зигзага**:
после локального максимума, когда цена откатывает вниз на заданный процент (`pivotSigma`), отмечается **Top**;
после локального минимума, когда цена откатывает вверх на тот же процент, отмечается **Bottom**.
* По последовательности последних вершин и впадин определяется тренд:
* *Bullish* — последний минимум выше предыдущего (HL);
* *Bearish* — последний максимум ниже предыдущего (LH);
* иначе — *Sideways*.
* В информационной таблице отображаются:
* **Market Trend** — Bullish / Bearish / Sideways;
* **Last Bottom / Last Top** с адаптивным количеством знаков (подходит под крипту, форекс, акции и т.д.).
### 2.2. Базовые сигналы Buy / Close
* **Условие для Buy (лонг):**
* `CCI < -100` (зона перепроданности),
* при включённом фильтре — `RSI < 20`.
* **Условие для Close (шорт/выход):**
* `CCI > +100` (зона перекупленности),
* при включённом фильтре — `RSI > 80`.
По этим условиям индикатор рисует обычные метки **Buy** и **Close**.
### 2.3. Кластеры: Buy X и CloseV
Чтобы отсеять лишний шум, индикатор оценивает не только текущий бар, но и **4 последних бара**:
* `buy_count` — сколько раз условие на покупку выполнялось за последние 4 бара;
* `sell_count` — сколько раз условие на продажу/выход выполнялось за последние 4 бара.
Далее:
* **Buy X** появляется, когда:
* `buy_count ≥ 2` (минимум на 2 из 4 баров были условия для покупки),
* соблюдён фильтр по времени между усиленными сигналами (`Min Bars Between Signals`).
* **CloseV** появляется, когда:
* `sell_count ≥ 2`,
* прошло достаточно баров с момента предыдущего CloseV.
> ✅ Поэтому **Buy X и CloseV заметно сильнее и надёжнее одиночных Buy/Close**, особенно на **таймфреймах 1–4 часа**: рынок несколько раз подряд подтверждает один и тот же перегрев/разрядку момента.
### 2.4. Order Blocks
* При включённом `Show Order Blocks` индикатор выделяет **импульсные свечи**, чьё тело больше заданного множителя ATR.
* По таким свечам строятся цветные прямоугольники — **потенциальные блоки ордеров** (области поддержек/сопротивлений, где ранее проходил крупный объём).
---
## 3. Настройки и кастомизация
Настройки сгруппированы в привычные разделы TradingView.
### 3.1. Pivot Settings
* `Show Pivots` — включить/выключить метки **Top / Bottom**.
* `Sigma (% retracement)` — чувствительность к пивотам (минимальная глубина отката в процентах).
* Цвета Top/Bottom — визуальная настройка.
**Совет:**
На H1–H4 можно оставить значения близкие к стандартным.
На младших ТФ уменьшайте `Sigma`, если нужна более детальная структура.
### 3.2. CCI / RSI Settings
* `CCI Period` — период CCI (по умолчанию короткий, для более быстрой реакции).
* `Enable RSI Filter` / `RSI Period` — включение и длина RSI-фильтра.
* Уровни RSI фиксированы: **20 / 80**, выделяя сильную перепроданность/перекупленность.
**Использование:**
* Для более консервативной торговли — держите фильтр RSI включённым.
* Для более частых сигналов (скальпинг и т.п.) — можно фильтр отключить.
### 3.3. Order Blocks
* `Show Order Blocks` — отображение блоков ордеров.
* `Block Threshold (ATR multiplier)` — насколько большой должна быть свеча относительно ATR, чтобы считаться значимой.
### 3.4. Signals & Filters
* `Show Buy / Show Buy X / Show Close / Show CloseV` — выбор типов отображаемых меток.
* `Enable Time Filter` — включение минимального интервала между усиленными сигналами.
* `Min Bars Between Signals` — сколько баров должно пройти между двумя Buy X или двумя CloseV.
**Совет:**
Если усиленных сигналов слишком много — увеличьте `Min Bars Between Signals`.
Если хотите больше активности — уменьшите это значение.
### 3.5. Alerts
* `Buy Alerts / Buy X Alerts / Close Alerts / CloseV Alerts` — выбор типов сигналов для алертов.
* `One Alert Per Bar` — при включении алерты отправляются один раз на бар (рекомендуется для H1–H4).
Алерты формируются через `alert()` с сообщением, включающим тип сигнала, тикер, таймфрейм и текущую цену.
---
## 4. Как использовать White Crow в торговле
### 4.1. Рекомендуемые таймфреймы
* 📌 **Основной фокус: 1–4 часа.**
На этих ТФ:
* структура по пивотам и тренд более стабильны;
* CCI/RSI отражают существенные ценовые колебания;
* кластеры **Buy X / CloseV** лучше отсеивают шум.
На M1–M15 индикатор тоже можно применять, но нужно быть готовым к большему количеству сигналов и чувствительности к микродвижениям.
### 4.2. Пошаговое чтение сигналов
1. **Начните с контекста**
* Посмотрите на **Market Trend / Last Bottom / Last Top** в панели.
* Определите, где находитесь относительно этих уровней: у сопротивления, у поддержки, внутри диапазона и т.п.
2. **Найдите зоны интереса**
* Используйте пивоты и order blocks как потенциальные области спроса/предложения.
* Ждите подхода цены к этим зонам.
3. **Отслеживайте сигналы**
* **Buy** — ранний признак локальной перепроданности.
* **Buy X** — усиленный кластерный сигнал, более значимый, чем одиночный Buy.
* **Close** — ранний сигнал возможного ослабления текущего движения.
* **CloseV** — усиленный кластерный сигнал выхода/разворота.
4. **Практическое применение**
* В *бычьем* тренде:
* фокус на **Buy / Buy X** возле впадин и зон спроса;
* **Close / CloseV** использовать для частичной фиксации и подтягивания стопа.
* В *медвежьем* тренде:
* фокус на **Close / CloseV** возле вершин и зон предложения;
* **Buy / Buy X** — для аккуратных контртрендовых входов с жестким риском.
---
## 5. Важные замечания и дисклеймер
1. **Buy X / CloseV сильнее, но не «волшебные» сигналы.**
Они статистически более значимы, чем одиночные Buy/Close, потому что:
* требуют нескольких подтверждений в кластере;
* фильтруются по времени.
Однако **ложные срабатывания всё равно возможны**, особенно на новостях и в условиях низкой ликвидности.
2. **Оптимальная область применения — старшие ТФ (1–4 часа).**
Здесь Buy X и CloseV обычно отражают реальное изменение баланса спроса/предложения, а не шум.
3. **Это инструмент подтверждения, а не полноценная система.**
Pro Trading White Crow:
* не управляет рисками;
* не считает размер позиции и уровень стоп-лосса;
* не заменяет ваше собственное видение рынка.
Всегда используйте его сигналы **как один из факторов согласованности** вместе со структурой, трендом, price action, объёмом и персональным торговым планом.
4. **Образовательный характер.**
Скрипт и описание предназначены для обучения и анализа графиков.
Они **не являются инвестиционной рекомендацией и не гарантируют прибыль**.
Вы самостоятельно принимаете все торговые решения и несёте полную ответственность за риск.

One Trading Setup for Life ICT [TradingFinder] Sweep Session FVG🔵 Introduction
ICT One Trading Setup for Life is a trading strategy based on liquidity and market structure shifts, utilizing the PM Session Sweep to determine price direction. In this strategy, the market first forms a price range during the PM Session (from 13:30 to 16:00 EST), which includes the highest high (PM Session High) and lowest low (PM Session Low).
In the next session, the price first touches one of these levels to trigger a Liquidity Hunt before confirming its trend by breaking the Change in State of Delivery (CISD) Level. After this confirmation, the price retraces toward a Fair Value Gap (FVG) or Order Block (OB), which serve as the best entry points in alignment with liquidity.
In financial markets, liquidity is the primary driver of price movement, and major market participants such as institutional investors and banks are constantly seeking liquidity at key levels. This process, known as Liquidity Hunt or Liquidity Sweep, occurs when the price reaches an area with a high concentration of orders, absorbs liquidity, and then reverses direction.
In this setup, the PM Session range acts as a trading framework, where its highs and lows function as key liquidity zones that influence the next session’s price movement. After the New York market opens at 9:30 EST, the price initially breaks one of these levels to capture liquidity.
However, for a trend shift to be confirmed, the CISD Level must be broken.
Once the CISD Level is breached, the price retraces toward an FVG or OB, which serve as optimal trade entry points.
Bullish Setup :
Bearish Setup :
🔵 How to Use
In this strategy, the PM Session range is first identified, which includes the highest high (PM Session High) and lowest low (PM Session Low) between 13:30 and 16:00 EST. In the following session, the price touches one of these levels for a Liquidity Hunt, followed by a break of the Change in State of Delivery (CISD) Level. The price then retraces toward a Fair Value Gap (FVG) or Order Block (OB), creating a trading opportunity.
This process can occur in two scenarios : bearish and bullish setups.
🟣 Bullish Setup
In a bullish scenario, the PM Session High and PM Session Low are identified. In the following session, the price first breaks the PM Session Low, absorbing liquidity. This process results in a Fake Breakout to the downside, misleading retail traders into taking short positions.
After the Liquidity Hunt, the CISD Level is broken, confirming a trend reversal. The price then retraces toward an FVG or OB, offering an optimal long entry opportunity.
The initial take-profit target is the PM Session High, but if higher timeframe liquidity levels exist, extended targets can be set.
The stop-loss should be placed below the Fake Breakout low or the first candle of the FVG.
🟣 Bearish Setup
In a bearish scenario, the market first defines its PM Session High and PM Session Low. In the next session, the price initially breaks the PM Session High, triggering a Liquidity Hunt. This movement often causes a Fake Breakout, misleading retail traders into taking incorrect positions.
After absorbing liquidity, the CISD Level breaks, indicating a shift in market structure. The price then retraces toward an FVG or OB, offering the best short entry opportunity.
The initial take-profit target is the PM Session Low, but if additional liquidity exists on higher timeframes, lower targets can be considered.
The stop-loss should be placed above the Fake Breakout high or the first candle of the FVG.
🔵 Setting
CISD Bar Back Check : The Bar Back Check option enables traders to specify the number of past candles checked for identifying the CISD Level, enhancing CISD Level accuracy on the chart.
Order Block Validity : The number of candles that determine the validity of an Order Block.
FVG Validity : The duration for which a Fair Value Gap remains valid.
CISD Level Validity : The duration for which a CISD Level remains valid after being broken.
New York PM Session : Defines the PM Session range from 13:30 to 16:00 EST.
New York AM Session : Defines the AM Session range from 9:30 to 16:00 EST.
Refine Order Block : Enables finer adjustments to Order Block levels for more accurate price responses.
Mitigation Level OB : Allows users to set specific reaction points within an Order Block, including: Proximal: Closest level to the current price. 50% OB: Midpoint of the Order Block. Distal: Farthest level from the current price.
FVG Filter : The Judas Swing indicator includes a filter for Fair Value Gap (FVG), allowing different filtering based on FVG width: FVG Filter Type: Can be set to "Very Aggressive," "Aggressive," "Defensive," or "Very Defensive." Higher defensiveness narrows the FVG width, focusing on narrower gaps.
Mitigation Level FVG : Like the Order Block, you can set price reaction levels for FVG with options such as Proximal, 50% OB, and Distal.
Demand Order Block : Enables or disables bullish Order Block.
Supply Order Block : Enables or disables bearish Order Blocks.
Demand FVG : Enables or disables bullish FVG.
Supply FVG : Enables or disables bearish FVGs.
Show All CISD : Enables or disables the display of all CISD Levels.
Show High CISD : Enables or disables high CISD levels.
Show Low CISD : Enables or disables low CISD levels.
🔵 Conclusion
The ICT One Trading Setup for Life is a liquidity-based strategy that leverages market structure shifts and precise entry points to identify high-probability trade opportunities. By focusing on PM Session High and PM Session Low, this setup first captures liquidity at these levels and then confirms trend shifts with a break of the Change in State of Delivery (CISD) Level.
Entering a trade after a retracement to an FVG or OB allows traders to position themselves at optimal liquidity levels, ensuring high reward-to-risk trades. When used in conjunction with higher timeframe bias, order flow, and liquidity analysis, this strategy can become one of the most effective trading methods within the ICT Concept framework.
Successful execution of this setup requires risk management, patience, and a deep understanding of liquidity dynamics. Traders can enhance their confidence in this strategy by conducting extensive backtesting and analyzing past market data to optimize their approach for different assets.
BTC InsightThis script is a comprehensive tool for analyzing Bitcoin's daily price range, trend predictions, and significant volume-based order block levels. It combines multiple technical analysis concepts, including exponential moving averages (EMAs), logarithmic calculations, and custom indicators for advanced forecasting and visualization.
Key Features and Technical Details
1. Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs)
The script calculates two smoothed EMAs:
EMA1 and EMA2 are derived from the logarithmic price of Bitcoin (log(close)).
The smoothing periods and multipliers are user-configurable through inputs:
Smoothed EMA1 Period (default: 728)
Smoothed EMA2 Period (default: 728)
Initial EMA Multipliers (default: 1.0 for EMA1, 5.0 for EMA2)
A time decay factor is applied to the multipliers to adjust sensitivity over time, making the EMAs adaptive to market dynamics.
2. Logarithmic Domain Calculations
The script uses logarithmic transformations to enhance accuracy when dealing with large price changes.
Adjustments to EMAs are made in the logarithmic domain and converted back to the price domain for plotting.
3. EMA Forecasting
The script performs a linear regression analysis over a specified period (728 bars by default) to estimate future price trends for both EMAs.
Slope Adjustments:
RSI (Relative Strength Index) is incorporated to modify the forecast slope dynamically:
RSI > 70: Bearish adjustment (-0.5)
RSI < 30: Bullish adjustment (+0.5)
Forecasts are plotted as dashed lines, projecting future values of EMA1 (green) and EMA2 (red).
4. Order Block Detection
Detects order block levels based on high volume spikes relative to the average volume over a lookback period (default: 100 bars).
A volume multiplier (default: 1.5x) is applied to identify significant volume activity.
Two types of order blocks are identified:
Below EMA1: A price zone where significant buying occurred below EMA1.
Above EMA2: A price zone where significant selling occurred above EMA2.
Order blocks are visualized as shaded rectangles:
Green boxes represent order blocks below EMA1.
Red boxes represent order blocks above EMA2.
5. Customization Inputs
The script allows fine-tuning via the following parameters:
EMA Settings: Periods, multipliers, and time factors for both EMAs.
Volume Analysis Settings: Lookback period and volume multiplier for order block detection.
Order Block Box Settings: Height of the range as a percentage of the detected price.
6. Visualization
EMAs: Two smoothed exponential moving averages are plotted with configurable offsets.
Forecast Lines: Dashed lines project future EMA trends based on regression analysis.
Order Block Boxes: Highlight areas of high volume below EMA1 and above EMA2, indicating potential support or resistance zones.
How It Works in Practice
EMAs and Trend Analysis:
The EMAs represent long-term market trends, adjusted dynamically using custom multipliers and time decay.
The script forecasts the EMAs' future trajectories to anticipate potential price movements.
Order Blocks:
High-volume zones indicate areas where significant market activity occurred, providing insights into potential price reversal points or continuation zones.
RSI Integration:
RSI-based slope adjustment fine-tunes the EMA forecast, adding an extra layer of dynamic market context.
Comprehensive View:
By combining trend forecasts with volume-based zones, the script delivers a robust analysis tool for identifying potential entry/exit points, support/resistance levels, and long-term trend predictions.
