B A N K $ - Breaks & SweepsThis indicator automatically maps on Breaks of Structure & Liquidity Sweeps. It works by calculating pivot points based on how many candles are above/below either side of a pivot.
The user can manually set how many candles need to be above/below either side of a pivot if they would prefer to change it.
The indicator will dynamically adjust the lines as the user changes timeframe to allow for seamless analysis.
Features
Break of Structure lines
Liquidity Sweep lines
Dealing Range - this allows the user to visualise the current dealing range
Explanation
A sweep is determined by whether a candle closes through a pivot point with a body closure or not. If the candle wicks this level but fails to close through it, the line will turn red to indicate a liquidity sweep.
If the following 3 candles go on to close through the break line, this will then update it from a red sweep line to the normal break line again. (sometimes the initial candle that touches a level will not close through it but price will continue to break that level in the next few candles).

BOS & CHoCH (v6, UA)The logic of the trading strategy
This is a well-structured and concise summary of a trading strategy based on market structure analysis. Here is the English translation.
Swings
ta.pivothigh/low on a selected structure timeframe (TF). When a swing is confirmed, we fix the level and the bar_index of the current chart as an anchor for a horizontal line.
BOS (Break of Structure)
A breakout of the last Swing High (SH) or Swing Low (SL) in the direction of the current trend.
CHoCH (Change of Character)
A breakout against the trend, signaling a potential trend reversal.
Breakout
By close or by high/low (you can switch the breakout confirmation mode to closing price).
Lumiere’s Indicator BundleThe Lumiere’s Indicator Bundle combines three of Lumiere’s most used tools into one script:
🔹 BOS Mark-out – Marks Breaks of Structure with clear bullish/bearish levels and optional alerts.
🔹 Liquidity Mark-ou t – Draws significant swing highs/lows and automatically removes them once swept.
🔹 Trading Session High/Low – Tracks Asia, London, and New York session ranges with customizable timezone.
Why this bundle?
I made this bundle so everyone can run all my indicators at once without having to pick and choose between them or worry about chart space limits.
Instead of loading 3 separate indicators, this package gives you everything in one place. You can toggle each module (BOS, Liquidity, Sessions) on or off from the settings. All inputs are kept clean and organized in their own sections for easy adjustments.
What to expect
BOS lines always plotted on top for maximum clarity.
Liquidity highs/lows update in real time and get removed when taken out.
Session ranges show the active session’s high/low and can mark sweeps after the session closes.
Default timezone is New York (UTC-4), but you can switch to any TradingView-supported timezone.
BOS alerts are included, so you’ll never miss a structural break.
Hassi XAUUSD Advanced FVG EMA/BOS/RSI/Volume + Session FilterWhat it does :
This strategy automates a popular ICT-style idea on XAUUSD (Gold): trade only when price taps back into a Fair Value Gap (FVG), but filter entries with trend, structure, momentum, volume, and session rules. It manages risk with fixed TP/SL (points) and shows a compact backtest panel on chart.
Core Logic
1) Market Structure (BOS)
Detects recent swing highs/lows and flags a Break of Structure:
BOS Up when price breaks the latest swing high.
BOS Down when price breaks the latest swing low.
2) FVG Detection (3-candle)
Bullish FVG when low > high and low > high .
Bearish FVG when high < low and high < low .
The most recent qualifying gap is drawn as a shaded box (optional).
3) Bias & Filters
Trend Bias: price vs EMA (default 200). Longs only above EMA; shorts only below.
Momentum: optional RSI filter (default 14); avoid longs in OB & shorts in OS.
Volume: optional filter requiring current volume > SMA(20) × multiplier.
Sessions: optional London / New York (PKT) time windows.
Entries & Exits
Long Entry (all must be true)
Above EMA, RSI bullish, volume ok, session ok, BOS Up.
A recent Bullish FVG exists (within N bars).
Price taps back into the FVG (low ≤ top & close > bottom) with a bullish candle.
Short Entry (mirror)
Below EMA, RSI bearish, volume ok, session ok, BOS Down.
A recent Bearish FVG exists (within N bars).
Price taps (high ≥ bottom & close < top) with a bearish candle.
Risk / R:R
Exits use fixed points on XAUUSD (default TP 100, SL 50).
On many gold feeds 1.0 = 10 points; inputs convert to price automatically.
“One-trade-at-a-time”: a new signal won’t fire until the previous position is flat.
Chart Labels
On entry, the script plots BUY/SELL plus fixed TP/SL lines & labels anchored to the entry bar (they don’t drift with price).
Visuals & Tools
EMA line (green/red by bias).
Swing points (tiny triangles) to see structure.
FVG boxes (green/red, optional).
Session shading (subtle blue overlay).
Stats Panel (top-right):
Total Trades, TP Hits, SL Hits, Win Rate, Profit Factor, Net P&L.
Inputs (quick guide)
EMA Length (default 200)
Swing Lookback for BOS (default 5)
FVG Box Length (how far the zone extends to the right)
TP / SL (points) for XAUUSD + display Risk:Reward
Sessions (PKT): London & New York windows + toggle
Filters: Volume (multiplier), RSI (length, OB/OS)
Visibility: show/hide FVG boxes & TP/SL drawings
Alerts
Buy Signal / Sell Signal on valid entries
Position Opened / Position Closed notifications
Best Practices & Notes
Designed for XAUUSD 15-minute. You can test other timeframes, but retune TP/SL points and filters accordingly.
Broker ticks differ: if your symbol steps are not 0.1, adjust TP/SL points.
Use with a HTF confluence (e.g., D1/4H bias, key S/R, news awareness).
Backtests are approximations; real results vary with spreads, slippage, and execution.

Angle Market Structure [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
Angle Market Structure is a smart pivot-based tool that dynamically adapts to price action by accelerating breakout and breakdown detection. It draws market structure levels based on pivot highs/lows and gradually adjusts those levels closer to price using an angle threshold. Upon breakout, the indicator projects deviation zones with labeled levels (+1, +2, +3 or −1, −2, −3) to track price extension beyond structure.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Adaptive Market Structure: Uses pivots to define structure levels, which dynamically angle closer to price over time to capture breakouts sooner.
Breakout Acceleration: Pivot high levels decrease and pivot low levels increase each bar using a user-defined angle (based on ATR), improving reactivity.
Deviation Zones: Once a breakout or breakdown occurs, 3 deviation levels are projected to show how far price extends beyond the breakout point.
Count Labels: Each successful structure break is numbered sequentially, giving traders insight into momentum and trend persistence.
Visual Clarity: The script uses colored pivot points, trend lines, and extension labels for easy structural interpretation.
🔵 FEATURES
Calculates pivot highs and lows using a customizable length.
Applies an angle modifier (ATR-based) to gradually pull levels closer to price.
Plots breakout and breakdown lines in distinct colors with automatic extension.
Shows deviation zones (+1, +2, +3 or −1, −2, −3) after breakout with customizable size.
Color-coded labels for trend break count (bullish or bearish).
Dynamic label sizing and theme-aware colors.
Smart label positioning to avoid chart clutter.
Built-in limit for deviation zones to maintain clarity and performance.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use pivot-based market structure to identify breakout and breakdown zones.
Watch for crossover (up) or crossunder (down) events as trend continuation or reversal signals.
Observe +1/+2/+3 or -1/-2/-3 levels for overextension opportunities or trailing stop ideas.
Use breakout count as a proxy for trend strength—multiple counts suggest momentum.
Combine with volume or order flow tools for higher confidence entries at breakout points.
Adjust the angle setting to fine-tune sensitivity based on market volatility.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Angle Market Structure enhances traditional pivot-based analysis by introducing breakout acceleration and structured deviation tracking. It’s a powerful tool for traders seeking a cleaner, faster read on market structure and momentum strength—especially during impulsive price moves or structural transitions.

Ultimate Market Structure [Alpha Extract]Ultimate Market Structure
A comprehensive market structure analysis tool that combines advanced swing point detection, imbalance zone identification, and intelligent break analysis to identify high-probability trading opportunities.Utilizing a sophisticated trend scoring system, this indicator classifies market conditions and provides clear signals for structure breaks, directional changes, and fair value gap detection with institutional-grade precision.
🔶 Advanced Swing Point Detection
Identifies pivot highs and lows using configurable lookback periods with optional close-based analysis for cleaner signals. The system automatically labels swing points as Higher Highs (HH), Lower Highs (LH), Higher Lows (HL), and Lower Lows (LL) while providing advanced classifications including "rising_high", "falling_high", "rising_low", "falling_low", "peak_high", and "valley_low" for nuanced market analysis.
swingHighPrice = useClosesForStructure ? ta.pivothigh(close, swingLength, swingLength) : ta.pivothigh(high, swingLength, swingLength)
swingLowPrice = useClosesForStructure ? ta.pivotlow(close, swingLength, swingLength) : ta.pivotlow(low, swingLength, swingLength)
classification = classifyStructurePoint(structureHighPrice, upperStructure, true)
significance = calculateSignificance(structureHighPrice, upperStructure, true)
🔶 Significance Scoring System
Each structure point receives a significance level on a 1-5 scale based on its distance from previous points, helping prioritize the most important levels. This intelligent scoring system ensures traders focus on the most meaningful structure breaks while filtering out minor noise.
🔶 Comprehensive Trend Analysis
Calculates momentum, strength, direction, and confidence levels using volatility-normalized price changes and multi-timeframe correlation. The system provides real-time trend state tracking with bullish (+1), bearish (-1), or neutral (0) direction assessment and 0-100 confidence scoring.
// Calculate trend momentum using rate of change and volatility
calculateTrendMomentum(lookback) =>
priceChange = (close - close ) / close * 100
avgVolatility = ta.atr(lookback) / close * 100
momentum = priceChange / (avgVolatility + 0.0001)
momentum
// Calculate trend strength using multiple timeframe correlation
calculateTrendStrength(shortPeriod, longPeriod) =>
shortMA = ta.sma(close, shortPeriod)
longMA = ta.sma(close, longPeriod)
separation = math.abs(shortMA - longMA) / longMA * 100
strength = separation * slopeAlignment
❓How It Works
🔶 Imbalance Zone Detection
Identifies Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) between consecutive candles where price gaps create unfilled areas. These zones are displayed as semi-transparent boxes with optional center line mitigation tracking, highlighting potential support and resistance levels where institutional players often react.
// Detect Fair Value Gaps
detectPriceImbalance() =>
currentHigh = high
currentLow = low
refHigh = high
refLow = low
if currentOpen > currentClose
if currentHigh - refLow < 0
upperBound = currentClose - (currentClose - refLow)
lowerBound = currentClose - (currentClose - currentHigh)
centerPoint = (upperBound + lowerBound) / 2
newZone = ImbalanceZone.new(
zoneBox = box.new(bar_index, upperBound, rightEdge, lowerBound,
bgcolor=bullishImbalanceColor, border_color=hiddenColor)
)
🔶 Structure Break Analysis
Determines Break of Structure (BOS) for trend continuation and Directional Change (DC) for trend reversals with advanced classification as "continuation", "reversal", or "neutral". The system compares pre-trend and post-trend states for each break, providing comprehensive trend change momentum analysis.
🔶 Intelligent Zone Management
Features partial mitigation tracking when price enters but doesn't fully fill zones, with automatic zone boundary adjustment during partial fills. Smart array management keeps only recent structure points for optimal performance while preventing duplicate signals from the same level.
🔶 Liquidity Zone Detection
Automatically identifies potential liquidity zones at key structure points for institutional trading analysis. The system tracks broken structure points and provides adaptive zone extension with configurable time-based limits for imbalance areas.
🔶 Visual Structure Mapping
Provides clear visual indicators including swing labels with color-coded significance levels, dashed lines connecting break points with BOS/DC labels, and break signals for continuation and reversal patterns. The adaptive zones feature smart management with automatic mitigation tracking.
🔶 Market Structure Interpretation
HH/HL patterns indicate bullish market structure with trend continuation likelihood, while LH/LL patterns signal bearish structure with downtrend continuation expected. BOS signals represent structure breaks in trend direction for continuation opportunities, while DC signals warn of potential reversals.
🔶 Performance Optimization
Automatic cleanup of old structure points (keeps last 8 points), recent break tracking (keeps last 5 break events), and efficient array management ensure smooth performance across all timeframes and market conditions.
Why Choose Ultimate Market Structure ?
This indicator provides traders with institutional-grade market structure analysis, combining multiple analytical approaches into one comprehensive tool. By identifying key structure levels, imbalance zones, and break patterns with advanced significance scoring, it helps traders understand market dynamics and position themselves for high-probability trade setups in alignment with smart money concepts. The sophisticated trend scoring system and intelligent zone management make it an essential tool for any serious trader looking to decode market structure with precision and confidence.
BOS mark-out (by Lumiere)Advanced BOS Detection with Strict Swing Confirmation
This indicator implements BOS detection with several unique features:
🔹 Dual-Candle Swing Validation - Unlike most BOS indicators that use single candle swings, this uses a two-candle confirmation for swing highs/lows, analyzing both the candle wicks and body transitions.
🔹 Directional Lock System - Implements a state machine that prevents duplicate signals until an opposite-direction BOS occurs, reducing noise.
🔹 Precision Wick Analysis - Compares wicks between the reversal candle and confirmation candle to identify the true swing point.
🔹 Real-Time Update & Live Market Adaptation – The indicator continuously monitors price action and instantly updates BOS signals as new candles form, ensuring you never miss a BOS.
How It Differs From Other BOS Indicators:
Most public BOS indicators use simple HH/HL or LH/LL detection.
Many don't implement the directional locking mechanism.
Few use the two-candle wick comparison approach.
Wick-Based Precision uses the extreme wicks of two candles (not just the body).
Strict Confirmation requires a close beyond the swing point (no "wick breaks" counted).
Usage Examples:
🟦 Bullish BOS:
A green candle closes, followed by a red candle. This will be the new high, and if the next candle closes above the highest wick of those two, it will be a BOS (only if we had a bearish BOS before)
🟥 Bearish BOS:
A red candle closes, followed by a green candle. This will be the new low, and if the next candle closes below the lowest wick of those two, it will be a BOS (only if we had a Bullish BOS before)
Simple Fractals with Wick Filter & BOSThis advanced fractal indicator combines traditional Williams Fractal analysis with sophisticated wick filtering and Break of Structure (BOS) detection to identify high-probability reversal points and structural breaks in price action.
🔍 How It Works
Fractal Detection: Uses the classic Williams Fractal methodology to identify swing highs and lows. A fractal high occurs when a candle's high is greater than N periods before and after it. Similarly, a fractal low occurs when a candle's low is lower than N periods on both sides.
Wick Filtering: Only displays fractals where the rejection wick meets a minimum threshold, ensuring the fractal represents genuine price rejection rather than minor fluctuations.
Break of Structure (BOS): Monitors when strong candles close beyond previous fractal levels within a specified lookback period, indicating potential trend changes or continuation patterns.
⚙️ Parameter Guide
Periods (Default: 7) - Controls fractal sensitivity
Wick Threshold (Default: 0.4 / 40%) - Minimum wick size relative to total candle range
BOS Lookback Bars (Default: 90) - How far back to monitor fractal levels for potential breaks
Strong Candle Body % (Default: 0.5 / 50%) - Minimum body size required to trigger BOS, Higher values reduce false signals but may miss some valid breaks
📊 Visual Elements
Colored Dots: Small circles mark validated fractals
Top Wick Fractals: Customizable color (default red) above bars
Bottom Wick Fractals: Customizable color (default green) below bars
BOS Lines: Dotted horizontal lines connecting fractal origin to break point
Green Lines: Bullish BOS (price closes above fractal high)
Red Lines: Bearish BOS (price closes below fractal low)
Faded Fractals (Optional): Shows all fractals that didn't meet wick requirements for comparison
🔔 Alerts
The indicator includes built-in alerts for:
High fractal formation with sufficient wick
Low fractal formation with sufficient wick

ICT Breakers (BOS / MSS - Market Structure) [ICTProTools]The Breakers (Market Structure) indicator is designed to help traders identify true breaker structures , a key concept in Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. In market structure, Breakers represent powerful shifts where a key high or low is broken, leading to a reversal in market direction. Most tools misinterpret structure shifts, using internal structure , leading to fake breakouts. This tool solves that problem by filtering out false signals , providing clear & structured insights , all with multi-timeframe compatibility.
💎 Key Features
⚡️ Breakers in action
The indicator shows the structure following ICT instructions. A breaker is defined by two lines:
The first line confirms the previous trend (it could be interpreted as a BOS).
The second line highlights the moment price breaks structure (with candle body or wick based on your chosen settings), signaling a shift in trend direction (like an MSS).
Furthermore, it’s important to note that a breaker not only shows the structure, but also defines a potential Point of Interest (POI), an area where price may retrace before continuing its trend.
Here, we can observe two clear structure shifts.
On the far left, the market was in a bearish trend, illustrated by the first visible (dotted and red) line. Shortly after, the second (solid and green) line appears, showing a break that initiates a new bullish trend.
This upward movement continues, with the last confirmation marked by a top structure line. And finally, the structure is broken once again indicating a transition back into a bearish trend.
💪 Real Structure with True Highs / Lows
Unlike many indicators that detect internal breakouts , this tool follows ICT’s true market structure rules .
In a bearish trend , a bullish breaker is only confirmed when the high that created the low is broken , and conversely for a bullish scenario.
Fake breakouts are ignored, preventing misleading signals.
In the image above, the white breakout is correctly ignored by the indicator, as it doesn't align with ICT’s structural rules. That white high is simply part of the internal structure, not the true swing point. Instead, the green line highlights the key level that truly matters, the one whose rupture would have confirmed a real change in market structure.
🔔 Smart Alerts for Structure Updates
Stay one step ahead with customizable alerts designed to notify you instantly when market structure changes occur.
Get notified for BOS (Continuation) and / or MSS (Breaker) events.
Set alerts for bullish , bearish , or both directions.
Choose between once or repeated alerts , based on your strategy.
This feature allows traders to remain focused and reactive , even when monitoring multiple markets.
In the alert settings, select which structure shifts you want to be notified of. Whether you're a scalper or a swing trader, the alerts keep you connected to key moments without needing to constantly monitor the chart.
⏳ Multi-Timeframe Structure
All features of the indicator are fully compatible with higher timeframes .
Get a broader view of market structure without switching timeframes.
Monitor higher timeframe structures and receive alerts, all without leaving your analysis chart .
In this example, the market structure of the 30m timeframe is displayed while on a 5m chart, providing a clearer perspective.
✨ Customization & User Control
Make it yours! The indicator allows full customization:
Swing bars (to confirm high / low)
Select your mode for Breakers (MSS) , using the candle body only or body / wick
Line style (type, width, color)
Choice of displayed timeframe
Activate any alert , with the frequency you want
🎯 Conclusion
✅ Avoid false signals by focusing on true ICT Breakers
✅ Smart alerts to never miss a structural shift
✅ Multi-timeframe support for enhanced analysis
✅ Clean & professional design for an optimal trading experience
Market Structure MTF Trend [Pt]█ Author's Notes
There are numerous market structure indicators in the TradingView library, each offering a unique approach to identifying price action shifts. Market Structure MTF Trend was created with simplicity and flexibility in mind—providing a highly customizable multi-timeframe setup, visually clear trendlines, and straightforward labeling. This combination helps both new and experienced traders easily spot and interpret market structure changes.
█ Overview
Market Structure MTF Trend is a powerful yet user-friendly indicator designed to identify and visualize key turning points in price action. It focuses on two core concepts:
Change of Character (CHoCH): A momentary shift in the market’s behavior, signaling that the current price movement may be losing momentum and could soon reverse.
Break of Structure (BoS): A more definitive event confirming a new price pattern, where the market establishes a fresh trend direction by surpassing previous swing highs or lows.
By combining these signals across up to four different timeframes, even traders unfamiliar with market structure can quickly learn to spot and validate potential trend reversals or continuations.
█ Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Monitors CHoCH and BoS events simultaneously on multiple intervals (e.g., 15m, 30m, 60m, 240m), providing a clear, layered understanding of market dynamics.
Straightforward Visual Cues: Labels are placed directly on the chart at swing highs and lows, while colored bars at the bottom give an instant snapshot of whether each timeframe is bullish or bearish.
Configurable Timeframes & Pivot Strength: Easily set up the desired intervals and adjust pivot strength to tune how sensitive the indicator is to minor price fluctuations.
Color-Coded Signals: Different colors help you distinguish between potential early reversals (CHoCH) and confirmed shifts (BoS), ensuring each signal’s importance is immediately clear.
█ Usage & Benefits
Learn Market Structure Basics: For those new to swing highs/lows, CHoCH, and BoS, the script’s on-chart labels and dynamic bar coloring provide a practical, visual way to grasp these concepts.
Spot Reversals Early: CHoCH alerts you to possible shifts in momentum, allowing you to anticipate trend changes before they fully develop.
Confirm Trend Breaks: BoS events confirm that the market has established a new directional bias, reinforcing higher‐probability entry or exit points.
Reduce Noise & Stay Focused: The multi-timeframe setup ensures you won’t overlook larger trends or get lost in smaller fluctuations.
Streamline Decision-Making: Color-coded bars let you gauge overall market sentiment at a glance—ideal for quickly validating trades without juggling multiple charts.
Market Structure MTF Trend is perfect for traders who want to learn or refine their understanding of price action. By integrating multiple timeframes into a single, cohesive interface, this tool highlights both subtle shifts and confirmed breaks in market structure, empowering you to trade with greater insight and confidence.
[TehThomas- Pro] - Liquidity SignalsOverview
This Pine Script indicator is designed to generate Buy and Sell signals based on liquidity sweeps and market structure shifts (MSS) or break of structure (BOS). The combination of liquidity sweeps and market structure changes provides a highly confluential signal that can be used to identify high-probability trade setups. This indicator is capable of working as a standalone tool or as part of a broader trading strategy.
Core Concepts
Liquidity Sweeps:
A liquidity sweep occurs when the price temporarily breaks a previous high or low, taking out stop losses or inducing breakout traders, only to reverse direction shortly after.
The indicator detects these liquidity sweeps at pivot points defined by a user-set pivotPeriod.
It plots Buyside Liquidity (resistance) or Sellside Liquidity (support) lines on the chart to indicate where liquidity pools are likely positioned.
Market Structure Shifts (MSS) and Break of Structure (BOS):
BOS: This occurs when the price closes above or below a previous swing high or low, indicating a potential shift in trend.
MSS: This is a more aggressive form of market structure change where the price action reverses after a liquidity sweep, signaling a potential reversal before a BOS confirmation.
The script tracks swing highs and swing lows using the pivot_strength setting to define how many bars are required on both sides of a pivot point.
Confluence of Signals:
The main signal is plotted when a Liquidity Sweep is followed by an MSS within a specified number of bars (25 by default).
This creates a high-probability trade signal because it combines both liquidity traps and market structure reversals.
Below, you can see the signals the indicator generates

Twitter Model ICT [TradingFinder] MMXM ERL D + FVG + M15 MSS/SMT🔵 Introduction
The Twitter Model ICT is a trading approach based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) models, focusing on price movement between external and internal liquidity in lower timeframes. This model integrates key concepts such as Market Structure Shift (MSS), Smart Money Technique (SMT) divergence, and CISD level break to identify precise entry points in the market.
The primary goal of this model is to determine key liquidity levels, such as the previous day’s high and low (PDH/PDL) and align them with the Fair Value Gap (FVG) in the 1-hour timeframe. The overall strategy involves framing trades around the 1H FVG and using the M15 Market Structure Shift (MSS) for entry confirmation.
The Twitter Model ICT is designed to utilize external liquidity levels, such as PDH/PDL, as key entry zones. The model identifies FVG in the 1-hour timeframe, which acts as a magnet for price movement. Additionally, traders confirm entries using M15 Market Structure Shift (MSS) and SMT divergence.
Bullish Twitter Model :
In a bullish setup, the price sweeps the previous day’s low (PDL), and after confirming reversal signals, buys are executed in internal liquidity zones. Conversely, in a bearish setup, the price sweeps the previous day’s high (PDH), and after confirming weakness signals, sells are executed.
Bearish Twitter Model :
In short setups, entries are only executed above the Midnight Open, while in long setups, entries are taken below the Midnight Open. Adhering to these principles allows traders to define precise entry and exit points and analyze price movement with greater accuracy based on liquidity and market structure.
🔵 How to Use
The Twitter Model ICT is a liquidity-based trading strategy that analyzes price movements relative to the previous day’s high and low (PDH/PDL) and Fair Value Gap (FVG). This model is applicable in both bullish and bearish directions and utilizes the 1-hour (1H) and 15-minute (M15) timeframes for entry confirmation.
The price first sweeps an external liquidity level (PDH or PDL) and then provides an entry opportunity based on Market Structure Shift (MSS) and SMT divergence. Additionally, the entry should be positioned relative to the Midnight Open, meaning long entries should occur below the Midnight Open and short entries above it.
🟣 Bullish Twitter Model
In a bullish setup, the price first sweeps the previous day’s low (PDL) and reaches an external liquidity level. Then, in the 1-hour timeframe (1H), a bullish Fair Value Gap (FVG) forms, which serves as the price target.
To confirm the entry, a Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the 15-minute timeframe (M15) should be observed, signaling a trend reversal to the upside. Additionally, SMT divergence with correlated assets can indicate weakness in selling pressure.
Under these conditions, a long position is taken below the Midnight Open, with a stop-loss placed at the lowest point of the recent bearish move. The price target for this trade is the FVG in the 1-hour timeframe.
🟣 Bearish Twitter Model
In a bearish setup, the price first sweeps the previous day’s high (PDH) and reaches an external liquidity level. Then, in the 1-hour timeframe (1H), a bearish Fair Value Gap (FVG) is identified, serving as the trade target.
To confirm entry, a Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the 15-minute timeframe (M15) should form, signaling a trend shift to the downside. If an SMT divergence is present, it can provide additional confirmation for the trade.
Once these conditions are met, a short position is taken above the Midnight Open, with a stop-loss placed at the highest level of the recent bullish move. The trade's price target is the FVG in the 1-hour timeframe.
🔵 Settings
Bar Back Check : Determining the return of candles to identify the CISD level.
CISD Level Validity : CISD level validity period based on the number of candles.
Daily Position : Determines whether only the first signal of the day is considered or if signals are evaluated throughout the entire day.
Session : Specifies in which trading sessions the indicator will be active.
Second Symbol : This setting allows you to select another asset for comparison with the primary asset. By default, "XAUUSD" (Gold) is set as the second symbol, but you can change it to any currency pair, stock, or cryptocurrency. For example, you can choose currency pairs like EUR/USD or GBP/USD to identify divergences between these two assets.
Divergence Fractal Periods : This parameter defines the number of past candles to consider when identifying divergences. The default value is 2, but you can change it to suit your preferences. This setting allows you to detect divergences more accurately by selecting a greater number of candles.
The indicator allows displaying sessions based on various time zones. The user can select one of the following options :
UTC (Coordinated Universal Time)
Local Time of the Session
User’s Local Time
Show Open Price : Displays the New York market opening price.
Show PDH / PDL : Displays the previous day’s high and low to identify potential entry points.
Show SMT Divergence : Displays lines and labels for bullish ("+SMT") and bearish ("-SMT") divergences.
🔵 Conclusion
The Twitter Model ICT is an effective approach for analyzing and executing trades in financial markets, utilizing a combination of liquidity principles, market structure, and SMT confirmations to identify optimal entry and exit points.
By analyzing the previous day’s high and low (PDH/PDL), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), and Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the 1H and M15 timeframes, traders can pinpoint liquidity-driven trade opportunities. Additionally, considering the Midnight Open level helps traders avoid random entries and ensures better trade placement.
By applying this model, traders can interpret market movements based on liquidity flow and structural changes, allowing them to fine-tune their trading decisions with higher precision. Ultimately, the Twitter Model ICT provides a structured and logical approach for traders who seek to trade based on liquidity behavior and trend shifts in the market.

Smart Money Breakouts [iskess 01-02 11:05]This is an big update to the excellent Smart Money Breakout Script published in Oct 2023 by ChartPrime who, to my knowledge, was the original author.
FULL CREDIT GOES TO CHARTPRIME FOR THIS ORIGINAL WORK.
Per the moderator's rules, you will find below a meaningful, detailed self-contained description that does not rely on delegation to the open source code or links to other content. You will find in the description details on what the script does, how it does that, how to use it, and how it is original.
The "Smart Money Breakouts" indicator is designed to identify breakouts based on changes in character (CHOCH) or breaks of structure (BOS) patterns, facilitating automated trading with user-defined Take Profit (TP) level.
The indicator incorporates essential elements such as volume analysis and a data table to assist traders in optimizing their strategies.
🔸Breakout Detection:
The indicator scans price movements for "Change in Character" (CHOCH) and "Break of Structure" (BOS) patterns, signaling potential breakout opportunities in the market.
🔸User-Defined TP/SL :
Traders can customize the Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) through the indicator settings, with these levels dynamically calculated based on the Average True Range (ATR). This allows for precise risk management and profit targets that adapt to market volatility. Traders can also select the lookback period for the TP/SL calculations.
🔸Volume Analysis and Trade Direction Specific Analysis:
The indicator includes a volume checker that provides valuable insights into the strength of the breakout, taking into account trade direction.
🔸If the volume label is red and the trade is long, it suggests a higher likelihood of hitting the Stop Loss (SL).
🔸If the volume label is green and the trade is long, it indicates a higher probability of hitting the Take Profit (TP).
🔸For short trades, a red volume label suggests a higher likelihood of hitting TP, while a green label suggests a higher likelihood of hitting SL.
🔸A yellow volume label suggests that the volume is inconclusive, neither favoring bullish nor bearish movements.
🔸Data Table:
The indicator features a data table that keeps track of the number of winning and losing trades for specific timeframes or configurations. It also shows the percentage of profits vs losses, and the overall profit/loss for the selected lookback period.
This table serves as a valuable tool for traders to analyze performance and discover optimal settings and timeframes.
The "Smart Money Breakouts" indicator provides traders with a comprehensive solution for breakout trading, combining technical analysis of changes in character and breaks of structure, volume insights, and performance tracking while dynamically adjusting TP and SL levels based on market volatility through the ATR.
This version of the script is a "significant improvement" from Chart Prime's original work in the following ways:
- A selectable range of candles for the profit/loss calculations to look back on.
- An updated table that includes the percentage of wins/losses, and and overall P&L during the selected lookback range.
- The user can now select only Long trades, Short trades, or both.
- The percentage gain/loss is now indicated for every trade on the chart.
- The user can now select a different multiplier for Stop Loss or Take Profit thresholds.
Market Structure Trend Targets [ChartPrime]The Market Structure Trend Targets indicator is designed to identify trend direction and continuation points by marking significant breaks in price levels. This approach helps traders track trend strength and potential reversal points. The indicator uses previous highs and lows as breakout triggers, providing a visual roadmap for trend continuation or mean reversion signals.
⯁ KEY FEATURES AND HOW TO USE
⯌ Breakout Points with Numbered Markers :
The indicator identifies key breakout points where price breaks above a previous high (for uptrends) or below a previous low (for downtrends). The initial breakout (zero break) is marked with the entry price and a triangle icon, while subsequent breakouts within the trend are numbered sequentially (1, 2, 3…) to indicate trend continuation.
Example of breakout markers for uptrend and downtrend:
⯌ Percentage Change Display Option :
Traders can toggle on a setting to display the percentage change from the initial breakout point to each subsequent break level, offering an easy way to gauge trend momentum over time. This is particularly helpful for identifying how far price has moved in the current trend.
Percentage change example between break points:
⯌ Dynamic Stop Loss Levels :
In uptrends, the stop loss level is placed below the price to protect against downside moves. In downtrends, it is positioned above the price. If the price breaches the stop loss level, the indicator resets, indicating a potential end or reversal of the trend.
Dynamic stop loss level illustration in uptrend and downtrend:
⯌ Mean Reversion Signals :
The indicator identifies potential mean reversion points with diamond icons. In an uptrend, if the price falls below the stop loss and then re-enters above it, a diamond is plotted, suggesting a possible mean reversion. Similarly, in a downtrend, if the price moves above the stop loss and then falls back below, it indicates a reversion possibility.
Mean reversion diamond signals on the chart:
⯌ Trend Visualization with Colored Zones :
The chart background is shaded to visually represent trend direction, with color changes corresponding to uptrends and downtrends. This makes it easier to see overall market conditions at a glance.
⯁ USER INPUTS
Length : Defines the number of bars used to identify pivot highs and lows for trend breakouts.
Display Percentage : Option to toggle between showing sequential breakout numbers or the percentage change from the initial breakout.
Colors for Uptrend and Downtrend : Allows customization of color zones for uptrends and downtrends to match individual chart preferences.
⯁ CONCLUSION
The Market Structure Trend Targets indicator offers a strategic way to monitor market trends, track breakouts, and manage risk through dynamic stop loss levels. Its clear visual representation of trend continuity, alongside mean reversion signals, provides traders with actionable insights for both trend-following and counter-trend strategies.
Market Structure Inducements ICT [TradinFinder] CHoch BOS Sweeps🔵 Introduction
Market Structure is the foundation for identifying trends in the market, crucial in technical analysis and strategies like ICT and SMC. Understanding key concepts such as Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHOCH) helps traders recognize critical shifts in the market. BOS, referring to a Market Structure Change (BMS), and CHOCH or Market Structure Shift (MSS) signal trend reversals in the market.
Additionally, the concept of Inducement, a vital tool in Smart Money strategies, allows traders to avoid price traps. Identifying valid pullback, valid inducement, POI, and Liquidity Grab helps traders find optimal entry and exit points and leverage Smart Money movements effectively.
Bullish Market Structure :
Bearish Market Structure :
🔵 How to Use
The Market Structure indicator is designed to help traders better understand market structure and detect price traps. By using this indicator, you can identify the right entry and exit points based on structural changes in the market and avoid unprofitable trades. Below, we explain the key concepts and how to apply them in trading.
🟣 Market Structure
Market Structure refers to the overall pattern of price movement in the market. Using this indicator, traders can identify uptrends and downtrends and make better trading decisions based on changes in market structure. The two key concepts here are Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHOCH).
Change of Character (CHOCH) : CHOCH occurs when the market shifts from an uptrend to a downtrend or vice versa. These changes typically indicate a broader trend reversal, and the indicator assists you in identifying them accurately.
Break of Structure (BOS) : When the market breaks a key support or resistance level, it signals a change in market structure. This indicator helps you identify these breakouts in time and take advantage of trading opportunities.
🟣 Inducement
Inducement refers to price traps set by Smart Money to trick retail traders into making the wrong trades. This indicator helps you recognize these traps and avoid unprofitable trades.
Valid Inducement : Valid Inducement refers to deliberately created price traps by major market players to gather liquidity from retail traders. Once the market has collected sufficient liquidity, it makes the real move, and professional traders use this moment to enter.
🟣 Valid Pullback
A Valid Pullback refers to a temporary market retracement, indicating a price correction within the main trend. This concept is crucial in technical analysis as it helps traders enter trades at the right time and profit from the continuation of the trend. The Market Structure indicator can identify these valid retracements, allowing traders to enter trades with greater confidence.
🟣 Point of Interest (POI)
Another important concept in market analysis is the Point of Interest (POI), referring to key price areas on the chart. POI includes zones where significant price movements are likely to occur. The Market Structure indicator helps you locate these key points and use them as entry signals for trades.
🟣 Liquidity Grab
Liquidity Grab refers to a scenario where the market intentionally moves to areas where retail traders' stop losses are placed. The goal is to gather liquidity, allowing major players to execute trades at better prices. By using this indicator, you can spot these liquidity grabs and avoid falling into price traps.
🔵 Setting
ChoCh Detector Period : The period of identifying the major market levels that occur when they break ChoCh.
BoS & Liquidity Detector Period : The period of identifying minor levels, which are used to identify BoS and Liquidity levels.
Inducement Detector Period : The period of identification of Inducement levels.
Fast Trend Detector : This feature will help you update the major market structure levels sooner.
Inducement Type Detector : Two modes "Sweeps" and "Total" can be used to identify the levels of Inducement. In "Sweeps" mode only Levels detected by touch shadow. In "Total" mode, all Levels are detected.
🔵 Conclusion
In financial market analysis and forex trading, identifying Market Structure and Inducement is crucial. Market Structure helps you detect uptrends and downtrends, and understand Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHOCH). The concept of Inducement also enables traders to spot Smart Money price traps and avoid unprofitable trades.
The Market Structure indicator is a powerful tool that, by analyzing the market structure and concepts like valid pullback and valid inducement, helps you make more precise trade entries. Additionally, by identifying POI and Liquidity Grab, the indicator gives you the ability to spot key market zones and use them to your advantage in trading.
Internal/External Market Structure [UAlgo]The "Internal/External Market Structure " indicator is a tool designed to identify and visualize internal and external market structure based on swing highs and lows. It helps traders understand short-term (internal) and long-term (external) price behavior.
🔶 What are ChoCH and BoS?
Change of Character (ChoCH)
Change of character refers to the reversal of market trend either from bullish to bearish or bearish to bullish. ChoCH is also a break of market structure but in opposite direction.
If market is in bullish trend but it breaks it previous (higher) low and makes a lower low, it will be termed a “bearish change of character” as price changed its trend from bullish to bearish.
Like wise if price is in bearish trend and it breaks its previous (lower) high making a higher high it will be marked as “bullish change of character” as price changed its trend from bearish to bullish.
Break of Structure (BoS)
When price breaks its structure in direction of previous trend its called break of structure (BoS). So its a trend continuation pattern.
As you know in bullish trend price makes higher highs. Each time when price break a previous high and marks a new high its known as bullish break of structure.
But in bearish trend price makes lower lows so every time when price breaks previous low and makes a new low it is called as bearish break of structure.
🔶 Key Features
Internal Swing Length: Allowing for fine-tuning of sensitivity to smaller, more frequent market movements.
External Swing Length: Focusing on capturing broader market trends.
The indicator differentiates between internal and external market structures, using different styles and colors to represent each. Internal structures are shown with solid lines, while external structures use dashed lines, providing clear visual cues.
Internal Market Structure:
The internal market structure focuses on shorter-term swings and is useful for identifying minor trend changes and short-term price movements. Breaks of internal swing highs or lows can indicate potential changes in the market's direction or momentum. The labels "CHoCH" and "BoS" help distinguish between changes in character and break of structure events, respectively.
External Market Structure:
The external market structure captures larger, more significant market moves. It is particularly useful for identifying major trend changes and key support and resistance levels. The dashed lines and corresponding labels "CHoCH+" and "BoS+" indicate more substantial shifts in market sentiment.
For BoS (Break of Structure):
For ChoCH (Change of Character):
