Pure Price Action Liquidity Sweeps [LuxAlgo]The Pure Price Action Liquidity Sweeps indicator is a pure price action adaptation of our previously published and highly popular Liquidity-Sweeps script.
Similar to its earlier version, this indicator detects the presence of liquidity sweeps on the user's chart, while also identifying potential areas of support/resistance or entry when liquidity levels are taken. The key difference, however, is that this price action version relies solely on price patterns, eliminating the need for numerical swing length settings.
🔶 USAGE
A Liquidity Sweep occurs when the price breaks through a liquidity level , after which the price returns below/above the liquidity level , forming a wick.
The examples below show a bullish and bearish scenario of "a wick passing through a liquidity level where the price quickly comes back".
Short-term liquidity sweep detection is based on short-term swing levels. Some of these short-term levels, depending on further market developments, may evolve into intermediate-term levels and, in the long run, become long-term levels. Therefore, enabling short-term detection with the script means showing all levels, including minor and temporal ones. Depending on the trader's style, some of these levels may be considered noise. Enabling intermediate and long-term levels can help filter out this noise and provide more significant levels for trading decisions. For further details on how swing levels are identified please refer to the details section.
The Intermediate-term option selection for the same chart as above, filters out minor or noisy levels, providing clearer and more significant levels for traders to observe.
🔶 DETAILS
The swing points detection feature relies exclusively on price action, eliminating the need for numerical user-defined settings.
The first step involves detecting short-term swing points, where a short-term swing high (STH) is identified as a price peak surrounded by lower highs on both sides. Similarly, a short-term swing low is recognized as a price trough surrounded by higher lows on both sides.
Intermediate-term swing and long-term swing points are detected using the same approach but with a slight modification. Instead of directly analyzing price candles, we now utilize the previously detected short-term swing points. For intermediate-term swing points, we rely on short-term swing points, while for long-term swing points, we use the intermediate-term ones.
🔶 SETTINGS
Detection: Period options of the detected swing points.

Price & Momentum Reversal Indicator [TradeDots]Price & Momentum Divergence Indicator is a variant of the Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO), designed to identify reversal patterns in overvalued and undervalued markets. This indicator aims to mitigate the common problem of all oscillating indicators: false buy/sell signals during prolonged market trends, by incorporating a volume-weighted approach and momentum analysis.
📝 HOW IT WORKS
Price Extremeness Calculation
The indicator evaluates the extremeness of the current price by analyzing price changes over a fixed window of candlesticks.
It separates the price changes into positive and negative changes, then multiplies them by the bar volume to obtain volume-weighted values, giving higher significance to bars with larger volumes.
Extremeness Ratio
The ratio is calculated by taking the difference between the total positive changes and total negative changes, and then dividing this result by the sum of the total positive and negative changes.
The result is then smoothed to reduce market noise and rescaled to a range between -100 to 100, where 100 indicates all price changes within the window are positive.
Momentum Analysis
Momentum is calculated by measuring the rate of change of the smoothed extremeness ratio, indicating whether market extremeness is slowing and showing signs of reversion.
Reversal Signal Confirmation
For an asset to be considered a reversal, it has to be in the overvalued or undervalued zone (exceeding the overvalued & undervalued threshold). It must then show a slowed momentum change and a price reversion.
Lastly, candlestick analysis is used to confirm the reversal signal, ensuring there is no room for further breakout price movement.
🛠️ HOW TO USE
Candlestick Visualization
Candlestick bodies are painted with gradient colors representing the smoothed price extremeness (OBOS Index), ranging from -100 (solid red) to 100 (solid green). The exact value is displayed in a table at the bottom right corner.
Slowing price momentum is indicated with blue (bearish) and purple (bullish) colors, showing market pressure from the opposite side.
Reversal Confirmation
A decrease in price momentum combined with a price reversal triggers a signal label on the candlestick, indicating a potential pullback or reversal. This can serve as a reference for better entry and exit points.
⭐️ Premium Features
Higher Timeframe (HTF) Analysis
The indicator includes a feature to apply the same algorithm to a selected higher timeframe, ensuring trend alignment across multiple timeframes.
Alert Functions
Real-time notifications for overvalued and undervalued conditions, allowing traders to monitor trades and reversal signals anywhere and anytime.
❗️LIMITATIONS
Accuracy decreases in volatile and noisy markets.
Extended bullish or bearish market conditions may affect performance.

Pure Price Action Order & Breaker Blocks [LuxAlgo]The Pure Price Action Order & Breaker Blocks indicator is a pure price action adaptation of our previously published and highly popular Order-Blocks-Breaker-Blocks script.
Similar to its earlier version, this indicator detects order blocks that can automatically turn into breaker blocks on the chart once mitigated. However, the key difference/uniqueness is that the pure price action version relies solely on price patterns, eliminating the need for length definitions. In other words, it removes the limitation of user-defined inputs, ensuring a robust and objective analysis of market dynamics.
🔶 USAGE
An order block is a significant area on a price chart where there was a notable accumulation or distribution of orders, often identified by a strong price move followed by consolidation. Traders use order blocks to identify potential support or resistance levels.
A mitigated order block refers to an order block that has been invalidated due to subsequent market movements. It may no longer hold the same significance in the current market context. However, when the price mitigates an order block, a breaker block is confirmed. It is possible that the price might trade back to this breaker block, potentially offering a new trading opportunity.
Users can optionally enable the "Historical Polarity Changes" labels within the settings menu to see where breaker blocks might have previously provided effective trade setups.
This feature is most effective when using replay mode. Please note that these labels are subject to backpainting.
🔶 DETAILS
The swing points detection feature relies exclusively on price action, eliminating the need for numerical user-defined settings.
The first step involves detecting short-term swing points, where a short-term swing high (STH) is identified as a price peak surrounded by lower highs on both sides. Similarly, a short-term swing low is recognized as a price trough surrounded by higher lows on both sides.
Intermediate-term swing and long-term swing points are detected using the same approach but with a slight modification. Instead of directly analyzing price candles, we now utilize the previously detected short-term swing points. For intermediate-term swing points, we rely on short-term swing points, while for long-term swing points, we use the intermediate-term ones.
🔶 SETTINGS
Detection: Market structure used to detect swing points for creating order blocks.
Show Last Bullish OB: Number of the most recent bullish order/breaker blocks to display on the chart.
Show Last Bearish OB: Number of the most recent bearish order/breaker blocks to display on the chart.
Use Candle Body: Allows users to use candle bodies as order block areas instead of the full candle range.
🔹 Style
Show Historical Polarity Changes: Allows users to see labels indicating where a swing high/low previously occurred within a breaker block.

Market Structure Break Targets [UAlgo]The "Market Structure Break Targets " indicator is designed to identify and visualize key market structure points such as Market Structure Breaks (MSBs) and Break of Structures (BoS). These points are crucial for understanding market trends and potential reversal zones. By plotting these structures on the chart, traders can easily spot significant support and resistance levels, as well as potential entry and exit points.
This indicator uses a combination of swing highs and lows to determine market structures and calculates targets based on user-defined percentages or Average True Range (ATR) multipliers. It provides visual cues in the form of lines, labels, and boxes to help traders quickly interpret market conditions.
🔶 Key Features
Customizable Swing Length: Users can set the swing length to identify the pivot highs and lows, which are crucial for determining market structure.
Target Duration Bars: Defines the maximum duration (in bars) for which the targets will be considered valid.
Target Calculation Methods: The target levels are crucial for setting potential price objectives. The calculation can be based on a percentage move from the identified pivot or using the ATR to factor in market volatility. These targets help in setting realistic profit-taking levels or identifying stop-loss placements.
Bullish and Bearish Market Structure Break (MSB): Detects and highlights bullish and bearish market structure breaks with customizable colors and target percentages.
Bullish MSB
When the price closes above a significant pivot high, a bullish MSB is identified. The indicator will draw a line at this level and calculate a target based on the chosen method (percentage or ATR). The target is visualized with a dotted line, and a label "MSB" is displayed. Additionally, an order block is created at the level of the bullish MSB. This order block is highlighted with a semi-transparent box, representing a potential area where price might find support in the future.
Bearish MSB
Conversely, when the price closes below a significant pivot low, a bearish MSB is marked. Similar to bullish MSBs, targets are calculated and displayed on the chart. An order block is also generated at the level of the bearish MSB, visualized with a semi-transparent box. This box highlights a potential resistance area where price might face selling pressure.
Bullish and Bearish Break of Structure (BoS): Identifies break of structures for both bullish and bearish scenarios, providing additional target levels.
Bullish BoS
If the price continues to rise and breaks another significant level, a bullish BoS is detected. This break is also marked with lines and labels, providing additional target levels for traders. An order block is created at the BoS level, serving as a potential support zone.
Bearish BoS
If the price falls further after a bearish MSB, a bearish BoS is identified and visualized similarly. The indicator creates an order block at the BoS level, which acts as a potential resistance zone.

FVG Instantaneous Mitigation Signals [LuxAlgo]The FVG Instantaneous Mitigation Signals indicator detects and highlights "instantaneously" mitigated fair value gaps (FVG), that is FVGs that get mitigated one bar after their creation, returning signals upon mitigation.
Take profit/stop loss areas, as well as a trailing stop loss are also included to complement the signals.
🔶 USAGE
Instantaneous Fair Value Gap mitigation is a new concept introduced in this script and refers to the event of price mitigating a fair value gap one bar after its creation.
The resulting signal sentiment is opposite to the bias of the mitigated fair value gap. As such an instantaneously mitigated bearish FGV results in a bullish signal, while an instantaneously mitigated bullish FGV results in a bearish signal.
Fair value gap areas subject to instantaneous mitigation are highlighted alongside their average level, this level is extended until reached in a direction opposite to the FVG bias and can be used as a potential support/resistance level.
Users can filter out less volatile fair value gaps using the "FVG Width Filter" setting, with higher values highlighting more volatile fair value gaps subject to instantaneous mitigation.
🔹 TP/SL Areas
Users can enable take-profit/stop-loss areas. These are displayed upon a new signal formation, with an area starting from the mitigated FVG area average to this average plus/minus N ATRs, where N is determined by their respective multiplier settings.
Using a higher multiplier will return more distant areas from the price, requiring longer-term variations to be reached.
🔹 Trailing Stop Loss
A trailing-stop loss is included, increasing when the price makes a new higher high or lower low since the trailing has been set. Using a higher trailing stop multiplier will allow its initial position to be further away from the price, reducing its chances of being hit.
The trailing stop can be reset on "Every Signal", whether they are bullish or bearish, or only on an "Inverse Signal", which will reset the trailing when a signal of opposite bias is detected, this will preserve an existing trailing stop when a new signal of the same bias to the present one is detected.
🔶 DETAILS
Fair Value Gaps are ubiquitous to price action traders. These patterns arise when there exists a disparity between supply and demand. The action of price coming back and filling these imbalance areas is referred to as "mitigation" or "rebalancing".
"Instantaneous mitigation" refers to the event of price quickly mitigating a prior fair value gap, which in the case of this script is one bar after their creation. These events are indicative of a market more attentive to imbalances, and more willing to correct disparities in supply and demand.
If the market is particularly sensitive to imbalances correction then these can be excessively corrected, leading to further imbalances, highlighting a potential feedback process.
🔶 SETTINGS
FVG Width Filter: Filter out FVGs with thinner areas from returning a potential signal.
🔹 TP/SL
TP Area: Enable take-profit areas for new signals.
Multiplier: Control the distance from the take profit and the price, with higher values returning more distant TP's.
SL Area: Enable stop-loss areas for new signals.
Multiplier: Control the distance from the stop loss and the price, with higher values returning more distant SL's.
🔹 Trailing Stop
Reset Trailing Stop: Determines when the trailing stop is reset.
Multiplier: Controls the initial position of the trailing stop, with higher values returning more distant trailing stops.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) Oscillator [UAlgo]The "Fair Value Gap (FVG) Oscillator " is designed to identify and visualize Fair Value Gaps (FVG) within a given lookback period on a trading chart. This indicator helps traders by highlighting areas where price gaps may signify potential trading opportunities, specifically bullish and bearish patterns. By leveraging volume and Average True Range (ATR) data, the FVG Oscillator aims to enhance the accuracy of pattern recognition and provide more reliable signals for trading decisions.
🔶 Identification of Fair Value Gap (FVG)
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) are specific price areas where gaps occur, and they are often considered significant in technical analysis. These gaps can indicate potential future price movements as the market may return to fill these gaps. This indicator identifies two types of FVGs:
Bullish FVG: Occurs when the current low price is higher than the high price two periods ago. This condition suggests a potential upward price movement.
Obtains with:
low > high
Bearish FVG: Occurs when the current high price is lower than the low price two periods ago. This condition suggests a potential downward price movement.
Obtains with:
high < low
The FVG Oscillator not only identifies these gaps but also verifies them using volume and ATR conditions to ensure more reliable trading signals.
🔶 Key Features
Lookback Period: Users can set the lookback period to determine how far back the indicator should search for FVG patterns.
ATR Multiplier: The ATR Multiplier is used to adjust the sensitivity of the ATR-based conditions for verifying FVG patterns.
Volume SMA Period: This setting determines the period for the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the volume, which helps in identifying high volume conditions.
Why ATR and Volume are Used?
ATR (Average True Range) and volume are integrated into the Fair Value Gap (FVG) Oscillator to enhance the accuracy and reliability of the identified patterns. ATR measures market volatility, helping to filter out insignificant price gaps and focus on impactful ones, ensuring that the signals are relevant and strong. Volume, on the other hand, confirms the strength of price movements. High volume often indicates the sustainability of these movements, reducing the likelihood of false signals. Together, ATR and volume ensure that the detected FVGs are both significant and supported by market activity, providing more trustworthy trading signals.
Normalized Values: The FVG counts are normalized to enhance the visual representation and interpretation of the patterns on the chart.
Visual Customization and Plotting: Users can customize the colors for positive (bullish) and negative (bearish) areas, and choose whether to display these areas on the chart, also plots the bullish and bearish FVG counts, a zero line, and the net value of FVG counts. Additionally, it uses histograms to display the width of verified bullish and bearish patterns.
🔶 Disclaimer:
Use with Caution: This indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only and should not be considered as financial advice. Users should exercise caution and perform their own analysis before making trading decisions based on the indicator's signals.
Not Financial Advice: The information provided by this indicator does not constitute financial advice, and the creator (UAlgo) shall not be held responsible for any trading losses incurred as a result of using this indicator.

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

ICT Propulsion Block [LuxAlgo]The ICT Propulsion Block indicator is meant to detect and highlight propulsion blocks, which are specific price structures introduced by the Inner Circle Trader (ICT).
Propulsion Blocks are essentially blocks located where prices interact with preceding order blocks. Traders often utilize them when analyzing price movements to identify potential turning points and market behavior or areas of interest in the market.
🔶 USAGE
An order block is a significant area on a price chart where there was a notable accumulation or distribution of orders, often identified by a strong move in price followed by a consolidation or sideways movement. Traders use order blocks to identify potential support or resistance levels.
A Propulsion Block, on the other hand, is a concept taught by the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) and refers to a specific type of order block that interacts with the preceding order block. Traders often analyze propulsion blocks to identify potential turning points and areas of interest in the market.
A mitigated order block refers to an order block that has been invalidated or nullified due to subsequent market movements or developments. It no longer holds the same significance or relevance in the current market context.
Let's explore a bearish order block and propulsion block scenario commonly utilized by ICT traders in their trading strategies.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Order & Propulsion Blocks
Swing Detection Length: Lookback period used to detect swing points for creating order blocks and/or propulsion blocks.
Mitigation Price: Allows users to choose between the closing price or the candle's wick for mitigation.
Highlight Propulsion Block Signals: Highlights the propulsion block and its sentiment for easier identification and analysis.
Remove Unassociated Order Blocks: Eliminate order blocks that are not associated with any propulsion block.
Remove Mitigated Blocks: Eliminates mitigated order blocks and propulsion blocks along with their associated order blocks, streamlining the visualization for clearer analysis.
Most Recent Blocks: Activates processing of the specified number of most recent blocks according to the option. If not enabled, the script defaults to processing the last 125 occurrences.
🔹 Order & Propulsion Blocks Style
Bullish Order & Propulsion Blocks: Toggles the visibility of bullish order and propulsion blocks, along with color customization options.
Bearish Order & Propulsion Blocks: Toggles the visibility of bearish order and propulsion blocks, along with color customization options.

Market Structure Targets Model [LuxAlgo]The Market Structure Targets Model indicator provides an algorithmic approach to setting targets from market structure shifts (MSS) and market structure breaks (MSB), two popular Smart Money Concept (SMC) concepts. Depending on the target % settings, they can be used as take profit, confirmation levels, or potential reversal points.
🔶 USAGE
Our Market Structure Targets Model scripts provide automated and customizable targets from MSS and MSB. Each displayed target can be used in several ways described in the sub-sections below:
🔹 Take Profit
The targets can be used as take profit levels, where the target distance can be set separately for bullish/bearish MSS/MSB respectively.
🔹 Confirmation Levels
Alternatively, targets can be used as an additional confirmation level of a trend reversal when set at a lower percentage, filtering out fake signals that might be given from market structures. In this way, targets can be used as potential entry levels.
🔹 Potential Reversal Points
In some circumstances, targets being reached can be indicative of trend reversals. The percentage of the targets would be typically set higher to allow for trend exhaustion.
The above examples highlight this usage for bearish reversal scenarios, while the image below highlights it for bullish reversal scenarios.
🔹 Support/Resistance Levels
The targets, being horizontal levels, can also serve as potential support/resistances, with breakouts potentially confirming new trends. It is important to remain observant of the market structure. An MSS or MSB in the opposite direction provides essential information to be included in future decisions.
Using multiple timeframes can help detect longer-term trends. Depending on the user's preference, they can choose the appropriate timeframe for their needs.
Note that Target lines will only be drawn when the Target Level exceeds the close value when it is drawn.
🔹 Maximum Target Duration
The Maximum Target Duration setting removes unreached target levels when the amount of bars since the associated market structure of that target exceeds the user set limit. This effectively allows the removal of any target that might no longer be relevant to newer trends.
🔹 Type: Switch/Hold
This setting is another way to control unreached target levels.
Switch: When a new MSS/MSB is found, the previous target level associated with a market structure with the same direction (bullish/bearish) is deleted if it hasn't been reached.
Hold: Target levels are retained and continuously evaluated when a new MSS/MSB is formed.
The target level will be removed in both cases when the Maximum Target Duration condition is applied.
The above example shows the case when the Type setting is set to Switch , while in the example below, it is set to Hold .
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Market Structure
Market structures are commonly classified as follows:
Market Structure Shift (MSS), also referred to as Change of Character (CHoCH)
Market Structure Break (MSB), also referred to as Break of Structure (BOS)
MSS indicates a shift in the market trend, confirming trend reversals. Conversely, MSB occurs once a trend is already determined, confirming new higher highs/lower lows.
🔹 Targets
A: Highest/lowest between the extremities of the MSS/MSB line
B: Price value of the MSS/MSB line
The distance between A and B is projected on the opposite side of the MSS/MSB line, adjusted with a percentage that can be set by the user. The above example used 100% of the distance between A and B.
The Target Percentage of MSS and MSB can be set separately for bullish or bearish market structures.

Price Reversal Probability + Price Forecast [TradeDots]The TradeDots Price Reversal Probability + Price Forecast Indicator helps traders discern market direction and identify potential trading opportunities.
📝 HOW IT WORKS
The indicator provides two types of reversal signals:
Bullish Reversal: Marked with a green label, indicating an expected upward market reversal.
Bearish Reversal: Marked with a red label, indicating an expected downward market reversal.
⭐️ Computation
This tool identifies significant reversal patterns using a mathematical model on a designated window of candlesticks to calculate price action changes. It incorporates candlestick data and price indicators, such as the Open, Close, High, Low of candlesticks and Average True Range (ATR), to detect similar occurrences in real-time.
Potential market turning points are marked with reversal labels and percentage changes , calculated using pivot high or low price data from the last reversal patterns of the opposite side.
For example, a green label on the chart indicates a bullish reversal pattern, showing the market is expected to reverse upward. However, signals are based on historical price actions and are not 100% accurate. If the price breaks down from the bullish reversal pivot low, the original signal will turn half transparent until the next reversal pattern is detected.
The algorithm groups consecutive bullish reversal patterns until a bearish reversal pattern appears. The last bullish label occurrence indicates the maximum number of bullish patterns required to confirm a reversal in the group. This information is stored to apply Bayesian statistical models and probability models to generate market insights.
⭐️ Statistical Analysis
Reversal signals are categorized into bullish and bearish groups, with each group storing consecutive reversal signals.
In the indicator table, each new reversal is labeled sequentially (e.g., "🟢 #1" for the first bullish reversal after a bearish signal). The number increases for each new signal on the same side and resets when a reversal signal on the opposite side appears.
The indicator provides two forecasts: the probability of reversal and the expected price change if the pattern is successful or unsuccessful.
⭐️ Probability of Reversal
By counting the number of consecutive reversal patterns on one side before a reversal pattern on the opposite side appears, we can calculate the probability of reversal of each signal throughout the entire price action history.
Using Bayes’ Theorem, the probability increases with each consecutive pattern. The values are displayed in the first two columns of the indicator table, with the current condition highlighted in orange.
⭐️ Price Forecast
The price forecast uses the pivot point of the last reversal pattern of the opposite side as a reference for calculating the percentage change.
For example, for a group of bullish patterns, the pivot high of the most recent bearish pattern is taken. A percentage is calculated with the pivot low of all bullish patterns in the same group. Repeating this model throughout the entire historical price action patterns gives the average price percentage difference between all bearish and bullish patterns.
Whenever a new reversal pattern is detected, a price can be forecasted using the percentage difference from the statistical model. The target price is calculated and displayed in the third and fourth columns of the indicator table.

🛠️ HOW TO USE
⭐️ Reversal Signals
There are two types of reversal signals identified by the algorithm that detects reversal patterns using price action analysis with candlestick data and price indicators. When the price breaks out from the labeled pivot, the label will turn half transparent.
Bullish reversal signals: Labeled in green. The number represents the price of the candlestick "low," and the percentage value indicates the price difference from the previous bearish reversal pattern's candlestick "high."
Bearish reversal signals: Labeled in red. The number represents the price of the candlestick "high," and the percentage value indicates the price difference from the previous bullish reversal pattern's candlestick "low."
⭐️ Probability Table
The probability table shows the likelihood of reversal for each number of occurrences of bullish and bearish reversal signals, displayed in the first two columns.
It also shows the target prices for both bullish and bearish conditions for each number of reversal patterns.
⭐️ Price Targets
By combining the probability of reversal and the price forecast, price targets for new reversal patterns are calculated. These insights help traders align their strategies with price action analysis and statistics by simply observing the candlestick chart in real-time.
Bullish Price Target: The average percentage price and probability that the next bearish reversal signal might hit.
Bearish Price Target: The average percentage price and probability that the next bullish reversal signal might hit.
⭐️ Market Trend Panel
The market trend panel is a small table that indicates the market trend using a 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) alongside reversal signals. A bullish reversal pattern above the moving average indicates a "bullish" market, while a bearish reversal pattern below it indicates a "bearish" market. If the price fluctuates around the moving average, it is identified as "choppy."
The panel also shows the risk and reward for each trade by taking the closing bullish and bearish targets from the most recent reversal pattern's price reference. Lastly, it displays the probability of reversal, consistent with the number highlighted in the probability table.
⭐️ Other Visual Aid
Other visual aids visualize the market trend and potential direction for users on the candlestick chart.
Background colors reflect the current market trend (green = bullish, red = bearish, blue = choppy).
A white plotted line represents the moving average for categorizing market trends.
❗️LIMITATIONS
Price targets represent only the mean of percentage differences. Therefore, the price could reverse before hitting either side of the price target.
When the market is in extreme price action or a new market pattern, the price targets may not be forecasted accurately and might move out of the model's range.
This model works best for assets with less price variation and a near-Gaussian distribution in returns. It may be less accurate for assets with random price movements.
CONCLUSION
This indicator uses fundamental statistics and mathematical models to generate reversal probabilities and price forecasts. It does not have the ability to predict the future with certainty. Traders should combine this indicator with other confirmation strategies to make informed investment decisions.

If you encounter a timeout with this indicator, reapply it to your chart.
Liquidity Dependent Price Stability AlgorithmThe Liquidity Dependent Price Stability (LDPS) indicator is designed to measure liquidity levels on an equity and, from those measurements, provide Bullish or Bearish outlooks for future price action. These outlooks are given via reporting the equity's Liquidity Condition and Liquidity Flow.
Interpretation
Liquidity Condition (LC) and Liquidity Flow (LF) measurements are displayed with color-specific chart colors and/or with text output.
LC can be reported as "Weak Bullish", "Bullish", or "Strong Bullish" for Bullish outlooks and "Weak Bearish", "Bearish" or "Strong Bearish" for Bearish outlooks. LC can also just be reported as "Bullish" or "Bearish".
Bullish LCs have a statistical correlation with future price appreciation, and Bearish LCs have a statistical correlation with price depreciation. When LC is “Bullish”, the price is likely to go up, and if LC is “Bearish”, the price is likely to go down.
Liquidity Flow (LF) is a measure of how LC is changing. When LC is becoming more bullish, LF is reported as “Improving”. When LC is becoming more bearish, LF is reported as “Worsening”. LF is only displayed via text output.
Settings and Configurations
LDPS Sensitivity and Reactivity: Determines if you want LDPS to be more sensitive to changing conditions or less sensitive. This choice affects how certain LDPS is when forming its future outlooks. LDPS achieves this increase in sensitivity and reactivity by lowering the bar for what LDPS considers a significant change.
Aggressive : LDPS will optimize reporting early changes in LC and LF at the expensive of accuracy. Aggressive is good for low-risk trading styles that prefer to exit a position early rather than deal with increased risk of oppositional movement.
Balanced : LDPS will try to balance reporting changes in LC and LF with maintaining accuracy. Balanced style is a good setting to start out with and is applicable across the widest range of equity’s and timeframes.
Conservative : LDPS will optimize accuracy over being sensitive to changes in LC or LF. Conservative is a good choice for lower timeframes and traders who only want to change or exit positions with the greatest confidence.
LDPS Reporting Style: Determines how you want LC to be reported.
Simplified : LDPS will only report LC as “Bullish” or “Bearish”.
Full : LDPS will increase its reporting details and include the “Strong” and “Weak” pre-fixes, when appropriate.
LDPS Candle Coloring: There are three different ways that LC can be reported on the chart via coloring.
LDPS Candle Replacement: This will replace the chart’s default candles with those created by LDPS. Note: In order to see LDPS’ candles and not the chart’s, you have to disable to chart’s candles. This can be done in Settings -> Symbol and unchecking “Body”, “Borders” and “Wick” boxes.
LDPS Candle Coloring: This will just color the bodies of the chart’s default candles. Note: This setting should not have the chart’s candle’s disabled.
LDPS Background Coloring: This will color the chart’s background rather than any candles.
LDPS Text Output: LC and LF are reported via a text box that can be moved several places on the chart, or the text box can be removed.
LDPS Measurements – Display: When selected, LC and LF will be reported via the text box.
LDPS Measurement – Text Location: Determines where the text box with LC and LF are located.
LDPS Measurement – Text Size: Determines the size of LC and LF within the text box.
LDPS Measurement – Background Color: Determines the background color of the text box with LC and LF.
LDPS Condition Color Selection – Bullish / Bearish: Color selection for each type of LC. Note: If the Simplified reporting style is selected, the “Full Bullish” and “Full Bearish” are the bullish and bearish color choices, respectively.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Where can I get additional Information?
Please check the “Author’s Instructions” section below.
Where can I find the results of the LDPS research?
Please check the “Author’s Instructions” section below.
Help! Something’s not working!
Apologies. Please see the email listed in “Author’s Instructions” below and let’s get started on solving the issue.
Which Sensitivity setting should I use?
The author’s preference is Conservative in most cases, but the answer for you depends on your preferred style.
An analogy might help: the aggressive setting will ensure LDPS is early to the party – every party. Of the parties that really kick off, you can be certain LDPS is there, but they had to visit a several of parties before finding the right one.
The Conservative setting won’t bring LDPS to every party – it will gladly stay at the one it’s at but when it detects the next real big hit, LDPS will move to that party instead. It won’t be the first one there, but it is definitely earlier than most.
Should I use the Full or Simplified reporting style?
Depending on how engaged you are with the particular equity or position, either choice can be beneficial. The Full reporting style will let you detect changes in LC before they might show with the Simplified reporting style. Some enjoy the additional data, some (like the Author) enjoy keeping things simple.
I can see LDPS’ colors in the chart’s candlesticks when the settings are open, but not when the settings are closed. How come?
If you are using the “LDPS Candle Replacement” setting, be sure to turn off the Chart’s default candles by right-clicking on the chart, going to Settings, then Symbol and then un-checking “Body”, “Border” and “Wick”. This should fix the issue.
I think there’s a bug – where do I report it?

Trend Bars Pro (HTF PO3)Hello Traders!
The innovative TRN Trend Bars Pro are designed to help traders to analyze markets in an intuitive way and provide high probability entry and exit signals. It combines three core concepts:
TRN Trend Bars to see the current trend and reversals (replaces the default chart bars)
Bar Ranges to highlight consolidations
Dynamic Trend to see the overall trend.
First, let's have a look at each of these concepts individually. Afterwards, we describe how a combination of all three gives you a crystal-clear picture of the market.
TRN Trend Bars Pro
They show bullish and bearish trends and reversals based on color coding the bars and give high probability trade opportunities with special colors. The trend analysis is based on a new algorithm that includes several different inputs:
classical and advanced bar patterns and their statistical frequency
probability distributions of price expansions after certain bar patterns
bar information such as wick length in %, overlapping of the previous bar in % and many more
historical trend and consolidation analysis
The algorithm weighs these concepts and outputs a color scheme for the chart bars or candlesticks.
Bar Types
Trend bars in green and red
Reversal Bars in blue and fuchsia
Continuation Bars in turquoise and orange
Breakout Bars in dark green and pink
Green Bars signify a sustained uptrend, indicating bullish market sentiment. On the other hand, Red Bars indicate a persistent downtrend, representing bearish market sentiment. The transition from red to green denotes a bullish trend reversal, suggesting a shift from bearish to bullish sentiment. Conversely, the shift from green to red signals a bearish trend reversal, indicating a transition from bullish to bearish sentiment. By monitoring these color changes, traders can identify potential trend reversals and make informed trading decisions.
The presence of gray and black bars indicates a neutral market state, often observed before an impending color change from red to green or green to red. These neutral bars serve as a transition phase between the previous trend and the potential reversal.
The TRN Trend Bars Pro incorporate signal bars, distinguished by their distinct colors, to offer potential buy and sell signals and deeper insights into market dynamics.
Reversal Bars
The presence of blue Reversal Bars indicates a trend reversal to the upside, while pink Reversal Bars indicate a reversal to the downside. These bars not only serve as signals for potential trend shifts but also present favorable opportunities to enter the market or increase one's position size.
Continuation Bars
In addition to the reversal bars, the indicator also includes bullish continuation bars (colored turquoise) and bearish continuation bars (colored orange). These bars act as signals for the continuation of an existing trend. Like the reversal bars, they can be utilized as entry points or opportunities to augment one's position size.
Breakout Bars
The dark green breakout bars within TRN Trend Bars Pro show a powerful breakout from a price range detected by our integrated bar range feature. They signify the continuation or potential change in a trend following a consolidation phase. As such, these bars hold dual functionality, serving as reversal signals and validating the persistence of an ongoing trend.
Bar Ranges
The bar range feature automatically finds consolidations where the price range of several consecutives bars is rather small. The detection of the bar ranges includes among other things the overlapping percentage of these bars.
How to Use Price Ranges
Here are a few ways you can use the bar ranges in your trading:
Identify Support and Resistance Levels
The price ranges can help you identify key support and resistance levels on a chart. By observing price ranges and identifying these levels, you can make more informed decisions about entering or exiting trades.
Breakout Trading
Price ranges can also provide insights into potential breakout opportunities. Breakouts occur when the price breaks out of a defined range, signaling a potential shift in market sentiment and the start of a new trend. The Color highlighted Breakout Bars from the TRN Trend Bars Pro are signaling a powerful breakout of a price range. Traders can enter positions in the direction of the breakout and set appropriate stop-loss orders to manage risk. Note that not every price range is left by a powerful breakout.
Dynamic Trend
The Dynamic Trend combines elements from standard trend strength indicators (e.g. DI-, DI+, Parabolic SAR) and volatility indicators (e.g. ATR, Standard Deviation). It produces a moving average line that adapts to changing market volatility. It is inspired by the ideas of the programmer and trader Fat Tails. The adaptive behavior provides more relevant information for traders when compared to traditional moving averages which do not consider volatility and trend strength together. This makes the Dynamic Trend completely unique, and no other moving average indicator can give you this precision.
How to use Dynamic Trend
Generally, a rising Dynamic Trend line, displayed in green, indicates that an uptrend is strong, while a falling Dynamic Trend, displayed in red, suggests that the downtrend is sharp. The Dynamic Trend turns gray when there is insufficient clarity to establish a distinct trend and especially when there is not volatility in the market.
Identify potential trade entries and exits: When used in conjunction with price action, the Dynamic Trend can provide potential trade signals. For example, if the price crosses above the Dynamic Trend, it may be a bullish sign, suggesting a potential buy entry. Conversely, if the price crosses below the Dynamic Trend, it may indicate bearish conditions and a potential sell signal.
Trend Identification and Pullback trading
Observe the Dynamic Trend's color. When it's on the rise and appears green, it indicates a bullish trend. Conversely, if it's in decline and displayed in red, it signals a bearish trend.
If Dynamic Trend is green and price pulls from above back to the Dynamic Trend, then this can be considered as a bullish signal.
If Dynamic Trend is red and price pulls from below back to the Dynamic Trend, then this can be considered as a bearish signal.
In the event of a bearish signal, such as a bearish TRN Signal Bar, and the Dynamic Trend is red, it provides additional confirmation to the bearish signal. Likewise, bullish signals gain added conviction when the Dynamic Trend is green.
Crossovers
As with other moving averages, crossovers between the Dynamic Trend and the price can be significant.
If price is crossing above the Dynamic Trend, then this can be considered as a bullish signal.
If price is crossing below the Dynamic Trend, then this can be considered as a bearish signal.
If you currently hold a position, both bullish and bearish crossovers can serve as potential exit signals. For instance, in the case of a long position, a bearish crossover can indicate a potential shift in sentiment, signaling a bearish reversal and a potential opportunity to close your long position.
Filtering Noise
Due to its adaptive nature, the Dynamic Trend can be a useful tool to filter out market noise. When the market is choppy or consolidating, the Dynamic Trend tends to remain flat and colored gray, signaling traders to potentially stay out of the market.
Stop Losses
The Dynamic Trend can also be used as a dynamic stop loss. For instance, in a long trade, traders can use the Dynamic Trend as a trailing stop, selling their position if the price crosses below the Dynamic Trend.
Combining TRN Trend Bars Pro, Bar Ranges and Dynamic Trend together
Combining all three concepts gives you a crystal-clear picture of the market. The Dynamic Trend shows you the overall trend. If price pulls back to the dynamic trend line and then price picks up the trend direction again, then the TRN Trend Bars Pro immediately switches the color to the trend direction. Therefore, you can easily identify high probability entry signals based on the bar color.
As a simple trading model, you can set the stop loss below the last swing or below a TRN signal bar (vice versa for short entries) and use 2.5 R or 3 R as target.
You can increase the success rate of the high probability TRN signal bars entries even more if they are in line with the Dynamic Trend line.
On the other hand, the TRN Bar Ranges help you to stay out of the market in case the price does not really change. As a confluence signal to stay flat in this period the dynamic trend line tends to be grey as well. If the price breaks out of the range, then the indicator prints a breakout bar which serves as a high probability entry signal.
Although it is possible to switch off any of these concepts, it is highly recommended to use all three in combination to get a crystal-clear picture of the market.

Price Action SuiteThe TRN Price Action Suite incorporates a treasure trove of time and price action concepts. It includes a set of trading tools that, when combined, allow for a more accurate view of the market. This enables traders to find high probability entry points before the market moves to the next liquidation level.
Features of the TRN Price Action Suite:
(Inverse) Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Order Blocks (OB)
FVG and OB with Cumulative Volume Delta
Volume Imbalances
Market Structure
Liquidity levels
Sessions
Kill zones/Opening Range
The indicator helps traders to easily identify favorable market conditions and high probability trade setups. It automatically finds time and price action concepts and displays them in an intuitive way on the chart. One of the highlights is the detection of Fair Value Gaps and Order Blocks in connection with Cumulative Volume Delta (approx.). You will not find this connection anywhere else.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
A fair value gap occurs when there are inefficiencies in the market or imbalanced buying and selling pressures. Fair value gaps can become a magnet for the price before continuing in the same direction. Special attention should be paid to FVGs that are supported by support and resistance levels, as these offer a higher probability of success for trades. Additionally, the indicator plots inverse FVG (iFVG). These are FVG that are “closed” by a FVG in the other direction. IFVGs are a strong sign of the market to continue in the direction of the iFVG.
In addition to the FVGs you see on the chart, you can add also FVGs from a higher timeframe including the cumulative buy/sell volume. For this you can set “Timeframe 1” and “Timeframe 2” in the settings to your preferred timeframes. E.g. you trade on a 5-minute chart, and you want to see FVGs from 4 hours and a daily chart, then you set Timeframe 1 to 4 h and to Timeframe 2 to 1 D.
Order Blocks and Volume Imbalances can also be shown from higher timeframes.
Order Blocks (OBs)
Order blocks are areas on the chart where a high concentration of limit orders was found in the past. They can serve as potential support or resistance areas. These represent areas in the market where there is an oversupply (supply) or an excess demand (demand). They are often key zones for potential turning points or continuations of the current trend. A bullish OB, for example, is the last bearish candle before a significant uptrend.
FVGs and OBs with Cumulative Volume Delta
The TRN Price Action Suite can show FVGs and OBs with the corresponding Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD). It is a metric to analyze market dynamics by tracking the net difference between buying and selling volumes over a specific timeframe. It is used to determine the strength of the FVG/OB. The FVG/OB includes two bars on the left side, indicating the cumulative buy volume in green as well es the cumulative sell volume in red. At the right side of the FVG/OB box the ratio of the cumulative buy/sell volume is displayed. A high ratio over 1, for example 1.5, indicates a lot of buying pressure. On the hand, a ratio far below 1, for example 0.66, indicates a lot of selling pressure.
Volume Imbalances (VIBs)
Volume Imbalances indicate a price gap from the previous close, but unlike gaps, there is no absence of trading activity within a specific price range. Bullish VIs have opening and closing prices above the previous close, with overlap between the current low and previous high. Bearish VIs are vice versa.
Market Structure
The market structure represents the dominant trend in the market. It is based on swing highs and lows. For instance, if the price makes higher highs (HH) and higher lows (HL) the market structure represents an uptrend. Vice versa if price makes lower lows (LL) and lower highs (LH) the market trend is down.
If the market structure is up, traders can enter positions in a pullback. For this, a trader could use a FVG or an OB as an entry condition.
Market Structure Shift (MSS) (Change of Character (ChoCh))
A market structure shift occurs when the market transitions from one dominant trend to a different one, often signaling a potential change in the underlying market dynamics. A MSS signals the start of a new trend. It signals the change from an uptrend to a down trend and vice versa. Therefore, it is sometimes called change of character (ChoCh). A valid MSS should ideally occur in a strong supply or demand zone. This indicates that the market may be approaching a trend reversal or consolidation.
Break of Structure (BOS)
A break of structure happens when the market breaks out of its established trading range or pattern. The market continues its dominant trend, indicated by the last MSS.
In an uptrend, for example, each time the price breaks through a new high, a "bullish BOS" is formed. This indicates that the market can overcome previous resistance levels and continue to rise.
Levels
One core concept in trading is that price flows to areas of liquidity. Natural liquidity areas are the current day open, high, low (CDO, CDH, CDL) or the previous day high, low, close (PDH, PDL, PDC). The same is true for the current week (CWO, CWH, CWL) and the previous week (PWH, PWL, PWC).
Pay special attention in case some of these levels are close together. Then these levels serve like a magnet for the price. The TRN Price Action Suite indicator can cluster these levels fully automatically together to give the trader the flexibility to focus solely on the trading part.
Sessions
Sessions are the trading hours during which the banks are actively trading. The three main trading sessions:
Asia: Most of the volume from the Asian players are handled within this session.
London: This is where the European players are most active.
New York: In the New York session all the USA players are active as well as all the other American players. Furthermore, a lot of global players are active in this session as well.
Killzones
A kill zone in trading refers to a specific time period during the trading day when the market experiences increased volatility and liquidity. It is an opportunity for traders to capitalize on potential price movements and generate profits. There are several different killzones during the day.
There are three different types of killzones:
Indices/Futures: This one is suitable if you trade products like the ES, NQ, FDAX, CL or Stocks, Options.
Forex: If you trade Forex this setting will mark the most liquid periods of the day.
Opening Range: In case you trade the opening range of the sessions, use this setting.
Trading Example
ICT Immediate Rebalance [LuxAlgo]The ICT Immediate Rebalance aims at detecting and highlighting immediate rebalances, a concept taught by Inner Circle Trader. The ICT Immediate Rebalance, although frequently overlooked, emerges as one of ICT's most influential concepts, particularly when considered within a specific context.
🔶 USAGE
Immediate rebalances, a concept taught by ICT, hold significant importance in decision-making. To comprehend the concept of immediate rebalance, it's essential to grasp the notion of the fair value gap. A fair value gap arises from market inefficiencies or imbalances, whereas an immediate rebalance leaves no gap, no inefficiencies, or no imbalances that the price would need to return to.
Following an immediate rebalance, the typical expectation is for two extension candles to ensue; failing this, the immediate rebalance is deemed unsuccessful. It's important to note that both failed and successful immediate rebalances hold significance in trading when analyzed within a contextual framework.
Immediate rebalances can manifest across various locations and timeframes. It's recommended to analyze them in conjunction with other ICT tools or technical indicators to gain a more comprehensive understanding of market dynamics.

TRN BarsThe innovative TRN Bars are designed to help traders to analyze markets in an intuitive way. It combines three core concepts:
TRN Bars to see the current trend and reversals (replaces the default chart bars)
Bar Ranges to highlight consolidations
Dynamic Trend to see the overall trend.
First, let's have a look at each of these concepts individually. Afterwards, we describe how a combination of all three gives you a crystal-clear picture of the market.
TRN Bars
They show bullish and bearish trends and reversals based on color coding the bars and give high probability trade opportunities with special colors. The trend analysis is based on a new algorithm that includes several different inputs:
classical and advanced bar patterns and their statistical frequency
probability distributions of price expansions after certain bar patterns
bar information such as wick length in %, overlapping of the previous bar in % and many more
historical trend and consolidation analysis
The algorithm weighs these concepts and outputs a color scheme for the chart bars or candlesticks.
Bar Types
Trend bars in green and red
Reversal Bars in blue and fuchsia
Continuation Bars in turquoise and orange
Breakout Bars in dark green and pink
Green Bars signify a sustained uptrend, indicating bullish market sentiment. On the other hand, Red Bars indicate a persistent downtrend, representing bearish market sentiment. The transition from red to green denotes a bullish trend reversal, suggesting a shift from bearish to bullish sentiment. Conversely, the shift from green to red signals a bearish trend reversal, indicating a transition from bullish to bearish sentiment. By monitoring these color changes, traders can identify potential trend reversals and make informed trading decisions.
The presence of gray and black bars indicates a neutral market state, often observed before an impending color change from red to green or green to red. These neutral bars serve as a transition phase between the previous trend and the potential reversal.
The TRN Bars incorporate Signal Bars, distinguished by their distinct colors, to offer potential buy and sell signals and deeper insights into market dynamics.
Reversal Bars
The presence of blue Reversal Bars indicates a trend reversal to the upside, while pink Reversal Bars indicate a reversal to the downside. These bars not only serve as signals for potential trend shifts but also present favorable opportunities to enter the market or increase one's position size.
Continuation Bars
In addition to the reversal bars, TRN Bars also include bullish continuation bars (colored turquoise) and bearish continuation bars (colored orange). These bars act as signals for the continuation of an existing trend. Like the reversal bars, they can be utilized as entry points or opportunities to augment one's position size.
Breakout Bars
The dark green breakout bars within TRN Bars show a powerful breakout from a price range detected by our integrated bar range feature. They signify the continuation or potential change in a trend following a consolidation phase. As such, these bars hold dual functionality, serving as reversal signals and validating the persistence of an ongoing trend.
Bar Ranges
The bar range feature automatically finds consolidations where the price range of several consecutives bars is rather small. The detection of the bar ranges includes among other things the overlapping percentage of these bars.
How to Use Price Ranges
Here are a few ways you can use the bar ranges in your trading:
Identify Support and Resistance Levels
The price ranges can help you identify key support and resistance levels on a chart. By observing price ranges and identifying these levels, you can make more informed decisions about entering or exiting trades.
Breakout Trading
Price ranges can also provide insights into potential breakout opportunities. Breakouts occur when the price breaks out of a defined range, signaling a potential shift in market sentiment and the start of a new trend. The Color highlighted Breakout Bars from the TRN Bars are signaling a powerful breakout of a price range. Traders can enter positions in the direction of the breakout and set appropriate stop-loss orders to manage risk. Note that not every price range is left by a powerful breakout.
Dynamic Trend
The Dynamic Trend combines elements from standard trend strength indicators (e.g. DI-, DI+, Parabolic SAR) and volatility indicators (e.g. ATR, Standard Deviation). It produces a moving average line that adapts to changing market volatility. It is inspired by the ideas of the programmer and trader Fat Tails. The adaptive behavior provides more relevant information for traders when compared to traditional moving averages which do not consider volatility and trend strength together. This makes the Dynamic Trend completely unique, and no other moving average indicator can give you this precision.
How to use Dynamic Trend
Generally, a rising Dynamic Trend line, displayed in green, indicates that an uptrend is strong, while a falling Dynamic Trend, displayed in red, suggests that the downtrend is sharp. The Dynamic Trend turns gray when there is insufficient clarity to establish a distinct trend and especially when there is not volatility in the market.
Identify potential trade entries and exits: When used in conjunction with price action, the Dynamic Trend can provide potential trade signals. For example, if the price crosses above the Dynamic Trend, it may be a bullish sign, suggesting a potential buy entry. Conversely, if the price crosses below the Dynamic Trend, it may indicate bearish conditions and a potential sell signal.
Trend Identification and Pullback trading
Observe the Dynamic Trend's color. When it's on the rise and appears green, it indicates a bullish trend. Conversely, if it's in decline and displayed in red, it signals a bearish trend.
If Dynamic Trend is green and price pulls from above back to the Dynamic Trend, then this can be considered as a bullish signal.
If Dynamic Trend is red and price pulls from below back to the Dynamic Trend, then this can be considered as a bearish signal.
In the event of a bearish signal, such as a bearish TRN Signal Bar, and the Dynamic Trend is red, it provides additional confirmation to the bearish signal. Likewise, bullish signals gain added conviction when the Dynamic Trend is green.
Crossovers
As with other moving averages, crossovers between the Dynamic Trend and the price can be significant.
If price is crossing above the Dynamic Trend, then this can be considered as a bullish signal.
If price is crossing below the Dynamic Trend, then this can be considered as a bearish signal.
If you currently hold a position, both bullish and bearish crossovers can serve as potential exit signals. For instance, in the case of a long position, a bearish crossover can indicate a potential shift in sentiment, signaling a bearish reversal and a potential opportunity to close your long position.
Filtering Noise
Due to its adaptive nature, the Dynamic Trend can be a useful tool to filter out market noise. When the market is choppy or consolidating, the Dynamic Trend tends to remain flat and colored gray, signaling traders to potentially stay out of the market.
Stop Losses
The Dynamic Trend can also be used as a dynamic stop loss. For instance, in a long trade, traders can use the Dynamic Trend as a trailing stop, selling their position if the price crosses below the Dynamic Trend.
Combining TRN Bars, Bar Ranges and Dynamic Trend together
Combining all three concepts gives you a crystal-clear picture of the market. The Dynamic Trend shows you the overall trend. If price pulls back to the dynamic trend line and then price picks up the trend direction again, then the TRN Bars immediately switch the color to the trend direction. Therefore, you can easily identify high probability entry signals based on the bar color.
As a simple trading model, you can set the stop loss below the last swing or below a TRN signal bar (vice versa for short entries) and use 2.5 R or 3 R as target.
You can increase the success rate of the high probability TRN signal bars entries even more if they are in line with the Dynamic Trend line.
On the other hand, the TRN Bar Ranges help you to stay out of the market in case the price does not really change. As a confluence signal to stay flat in this period the dynamic trend line tends to be grey as well. If the price breaks out of the range, then the TRN Bars print a breakout bar which serves as a high probability entry signal.
Although it is possible to switch off any of these concepts, it is highly recommended to use all three in combination to get a crystal-clear picture of the market.

Conclusion
While signals from TRN Bars can be informative, it is important to recognize that their reliability may vary. Various external factors can impact market prices, and it is essential to consider your risk tolerance and investment goals when executing trades.
FVG Positioning Average [LuxAlgo]The FVG Positioning Average indicator aims to uncover potential price levels of interest by averaging together recent Fair Value Gap (FVG) initiation levels.
This indicator is grounded in the theory that significant buying or selling activity is the primary catalyst for creating FVGs.
By averaging together the prices where each FVG initiated, we may potentially reveal where major participants are positioned.
🔶 USAGE
By analyzing the average price of bullish or bearish FVGs, users can identify potential support or resistance areas where the larger participants may re-enter or defend their positions.
These areas could be used to adjust entries and exits or assist with risk management such as take-profit or stop-loss levels.
The indicator displays 2 lines, the Bull Average and the Bear Average.
The Bull Average is only displayed when the price holds above the bull Average.
The Bear Average is only displayed when the price holds below the bear average.
When only one average is displayed alone, this level is seen as support or resistance, it is anticipated that this level would be defended for the current trend to stay valid.
When both averages are displayed simultaneously, it can be interpreted as one side attempting to take over the trend.
The movements and reactions during these attempts can be analyzed to provide helpful information about where the price might be headed.
Possible outcomes:
Trend Confirmation/Re-Entry (From Weak Attempts)
Trend Reversal (Creating Support or Resistance)
Consolidation (Oscillating between/around Bull & Bear Averages)
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Lookback Types
This indicator includes 2 lookback types:
Bar Count: Uses Bars to determine what data to include. This type can be utilized for averages that are more locally relevant to the current chart data.
FVG Count: Uses a specific # of FVGs for calculations. This type can be utilized for a continuous & consistent view, typically relevant with longer term analysis.
Note: When using bar lookback, if no data is in range, no lines will be displayed.
Below is an example of the 'FVG Count' Display.
🔹 Initiation Levels
Initiation Levels are the specific price points where each FVG starts, these are the last points the price was traded at before creating the gap.
Bull Initiation Level: Lowest Point (Bottom) of FVG
Bear Initiation Level: Highest Point (Top) of FVG
🔹 FVG Display
Each FVG being used for the current calculation of averages is displayed on the chart for reference.
Note: If you prefer to not display the FVGs, they can be toggled off in the settings, uncheck "Show FVGs on Chart".
🔶 Settings
FVG Lookback: As mentioned above in the 'Lookback Types', this sets the number of FVGs or Bars to use for consideration.
Lookback Type: As also mentioned above in 'Lookback Types', this determines the method of lookback to be used.
ATR Multiplier: The FVGs are required to have a Greater Width than (ATR * Multiplier) in order to be used for calculations. This allows you to focus on the data being considered if needed.
Volumetric Fair Value Gaps [AlgoAlpha]🎯 Introducing the Volumetric Fair Value Gaps by AlgoAlpha 🎯
Embrace the power of volume and price action with the Volumetric Fair Value Gaps (VFVG) indicator, designed meticulously by AlgoAlpha. This innovative tool enhances your charting capabilities by highlighting fair value gaps in real-time, facilitating superior market entry and exit decisions. 🚀📈
🔍 Key Features:
🔹 Fair Value Gap Detection: Utilizes price action and volume to identify significant fair value gaps, offering potential high-probability trading opportunities.
🔹 Adjustability: Customize the sensitivity with 'FVG Noise Reduction Length' and 'Noise Reduction Factor' to match the volatility and characteristics of the asset being traded.
🔹 Visual Appeal: Displays bullish gaps in a soothing Bullish Color and bearish gaps in a striking Bearish Color, making it easy to spot and analyze trends on the fly.
🔹 Overlay Feature: Plots directly on the price chart for seamless integration and analysis.
🌟 Quick Guide to Using the Volumetric Fair Value Gaps Indicator:
🛠 Add the Indicator: Add the indicator to favourites and set it up with your desired settings.
📊 Market Analysis: Watch for the appearance of colored boxes (blue for bearish, gray for bullish) which represent the fair value gaps. These are high-probability areas for reversals or continuations. FVGs with higher volume are implied to induce a stronger reaction on price.
🔔 Alerts: Set up alerts to notify you when new gaps are detected, ensuring you never miss out on potential trades!
🛠 How It Works:
The Volumetric Fair Value Gaps (VFVG) indicator identifies significant price gaps that are not just based on price action but are also substantiated by volume, which are often overlooked in typical analyses. It operates by comparing the current candle’s price range against historical averages and is calculated over a user-defined period, displayed with volume for further insights. For a gap to be recognized as significant (either bullish or bearish), it must exceed a certain size relative to these averages, which can be adjusted for sensitivity using the provided settings. Bullish gaps are identified when the current low is higher than the second previous high after surpassing the threshold, and bearish gaps are marked when the current high is below the second previous low, similarly surpassing the threshold. This dual-confirmation (volume and price deviation) approach minimizes false signals and enhances the reliability of identified gaps.
Maximize your trading strategy with the VFVG Indicator by AlgoAlpha and turn those gaps into opportunities! 🌈✨
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) [UAlgo]A fair value gap is especially popular among price action traders and occurs when there are inefficiencies or imbalances in the market, or when the buying and selling are not equal. Fair value gaps can become a magnet for the price before continuing in the same direction.
🔶 Key Features :
Fair Value Gap Identification:
Bullish fair value gaps occur when the current market price exceeds the previous high. The indicator identifies bullish gaps by comparing the low of the current candle with the high of the candle two candles ago . If the low of the current candle is higher than the high two candles ago and the closing price of the previous candle is also higher than the high two candles ago, a bullish fair value gap is detected.
Bearish fair value gaps occur when the current market price falls below the previous low. The indicator identifies bearish gaps by comparing the high of the current candle with the low of the candle two candles ago. If the high of the current candle is lower than the low two periods ago and the closing price of the previous candle is also lower than the low two candles ago, a bearish fair value gap is detected.
Fair Value Gap Filter :
ATR measures market volatility by analyzing the range of price movements over a specified period. It provides insights into the average price range that a security experiences within a given timeframe. After the ATR is calculated, a Simple Moving Average (SMA) is computed for the ATR values. This moving average smoothens out the ATR data, providing a clearer indication of the average volatility levels over time.
When the filter is active, fair value gaps are identified only if they occur during periods of relatively higher volatility, as indicated by the ATR being greater than the SMA. This helps in refining and obtaining the detection of stronger fair value gaps

Customizable Settings: Users have the flexibility to customize various parameters to suit their trading preferences. They can adjust settings such as the number of fair value gaps displayed, mitigation method (either based on closing prices or wicks), and apply filters based on Average True Range (ATR) to refine gap detection.
🔶 Disclaimer :
Use with Caution: Trading involves significant risk, and this indicator should be used with caution. While it can help identify potential trading opportunities, it does not guarantee profits and may sometimes provide false signals.
Not Financial Advice: The information provided by the Fair Value Gaps indicator is for educational and informational purposes only and should not be considered as financial advice. Traders should conduct their own research and consult with financial professionals before making any trading decisions.
Past Performance: Past performance is not indicative of future results. Historical price movements analyzed by the indicator may not accurately predict future market behavior.
RSI Order Blocks [UAlgo]The "RSI Order Blocks " identifies and visualizes potential order blocks based on the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator. These zones may indicating potential support or resistance levels.
🔶 Key Features :
RSI-based Order Block Identification: The script utilizes the RSI indicator to identify potential order blocks. It detects pivot highs and lows in the RSI, which are indicative of potential reversal points, and marks these areas as potential order blocks.
Order Block Visualization: Identified order blocks are visually represented on the chart, making it easy for traders to recognize and interpret these significant price zones. Both bullish and bearish order blocks are differentiated by color, enhancing clarity and ease of analysis. Additionally, within each order block, the RSI value of that block is also shown.
RSI Overbought/Oversold Filter: Optionally, users can apply a filter based on RSI levels to refine the detection of order blocks. This filter prevents the creation of order blocks when the RSI is within specified overbought or oversold conditions (default between 30 and 70), helping traders focus on areas of potentially significant price action.
An Example with the OB/OS Filter Feature Turned Off:
An Example with the OB/OS Filter Feature Turned On:
Mitigation of Broken Order Blocks: Provides flexibility in selecting the mitigation method (based on close or wick) for determining order block breaches.
Customizable Parameters: The script offers a range of customizable parameters to tailor the detection and visualization of order blocks to suit individual trading preferences.

📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
1. Order Blocks
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.
The high & low volume of order blocks should be taken into consideration while determining their strengths. The determination of the high & low volume of order blocks are similar to FVGs, in a bullish order block, the high volume is the last 2 bars' total volume, while the low volume is the oldest bar's volume. In a bearish order block scenario, the low volume becomes the last 2 bars' total volume.
2. Breaker Blocks
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, i.e. 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. Often the higher the breaking bar's volume, the stronger the breaker block is.
The strength of Order & Breaker Blocks are calculated by the size of the block to the Average True Range (ATR) of the chart.
3. Fair Value Gaps
Fair value gaps often occur when there is an imbalance in the market, and can be spotted with a specific formation on the chart.
The volume when the FVG occurs plays an important role when determining the strength of it, so we've placed two bars on the FVG zone, indicating the high & low volumes of the FVG. The high volume is the total volume of the last two bars on a bullish FVG, while the low volume is - of the FVG. For a bearish FVG, the total volume of the last two bars is the low volume. The indicator can also detect FVGs that exist in other timeframes than the current chart.
4. Inversion Fair Value Gaps
A Fair Value Gap generally occur when there is an imbalance in the market. They can be detected by specific formations within the chart. An Inverse Fair Value Gap is when a FVG becomes invalidated, thus reversing the direction of the FVG.
IFVGs get consumed when a Close / Wick enters the IFVG zone. Check this example:
5. Market Structures
Sometimes specific market structures form and break as the market fills buy & sell orders. Formed Change of Character (CHoCH) and Break of Structure (BOS) often mean that market will change direction, and they can be spotted by inspecting low & high pivot points of the chart.
The number of times the chart recently had a BOS is displayed between brackets, Ex : (3)
6. Liquidity Zones
Buyside & Sellside Liquidity zones are where most traders place their take-profits and stop-losses in their long / short positions. They are spotted by using high & low pivot points on the chart.
7. Liquidity Grabs
Liquidity grabs occur when one of the latest pivots has a false breakout. Then, if the wick to body ratio of the bar is higher than 0.5 (can be changed from the settings) a liquidity grab has occurred.
8. Premium & Discount Zones
The premium zone is a zone that is over the fair value of the asset's price, and the discount zone is the opposite. They are formed by the latest high & low pivot points.
If the latest close price is outside the Premium or Discount zone, you will see "Premium ⬆️" or "Discount ⬇️". These mean that the price is currently higher than the premium zone or lower than the discount zone.
