SMC Academy [PhenLabs]📊 SMC Academy
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The SMC Academy indicator is a comprehensive educational tool designed to demystify Smart Money Concepts (SMC) for traders of all levels. Unlike standard indicators that simply print signals, this script uses a “Learning Phase” system that allows users to toggle between individual concepts—such as Market Structure, Liquidity, Imbalances, and Order Blocks—or view them all simultaneously. It lets you focus on one piece of the puzzle at a time.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Progressive Learning Modes: Toggle between 5 distinct phases to master concepts individually before using the Full Strategy Mode.
Educational Tooltips: Hover over labels to read detailed explanations of why a BOS, MSS, or Liquidity zone was identified.
Smart Filtering: Uses ATR and Volume integration to filter out low-quality Fair Value Gaps and weak Order Blocks.
HTF Dashboard: A built-in panel analyzes Higher Timeframe (4H) data to ensure you are trading in alignment with the broader trend.
🔧 Core Components
Market Structure Engine: Automatically detects Swing Highs and Lows to map out market direction using configurable swing lengths.
Liquidity Manager: Identifies unmitigated swing points that serve as Buy-Side (BSL) and Sell-Side (SSL) liquidity magnets.
Imbalance Detector: Highlights Fair Value Gaps (FVG) where price inefficiencies exist, using ATR thresholds to ignore noise.
Order Block Identifier: Locates the specific candles responsible for structure breaks, validated by volume analysis.
🔥 Key Features
Break of Structure (BOS): Automatically marks trend continuation signals with solid lines and color-coded labels.
Market Structure Shift (MSS): Identifies potential trend reversals when significant swing points are breached.
Dashboard Context: Displays the current trend direction and the 4H context directly on your chart.
Custom Alerts: Built-in alert conditions for structure breaks and new Order Blocks allow for automated tracking.
🎨 Visualization
Structure Lines: Solid lines indicate confirmed breaks (Green for Bullish, Red for Bearish).
Liquidity Zones: Dotted lines extending rightward indicate resting liquidity levels that price may target.
FVG Boxes: Shaded boxes highlight imbalance zones, automatically extending for a user-defined number of bars.
Dashboard: A clean, non-intrusive table in the top-right corner displays trend status and active mode.
📖 Usage Guidelines
Setting Categories
Learning Mode: Select from ‘1. Market Structure’ through ‘5. Full Strategy Mode’ to filter what appears on the chart.
Swing Detection Length: Default (5). Determines the sensitivity of the swing high/low detection.
Structure Break Type: Options (Close/Wick). Choose whether a candle close or just a wick is required to confirm a break.
Min FVG Size: Default (0.5 ATR). Filters out gaps smaller than this multiplier to reduce noise.
Filter Weak OBs by Volume: Default (True). Only highlights Order Blocks where volume exceeds the 20-period average.
✅ Best Use Cases
Educational Study: Isolate “Phase 1: Market Structure” to practice identifying trend changes without distraction.
Trend Following: Use “Phase 3: Imbalances” to find entry points within an established trend.
Reversal Trading: Combine “Phase 2: Liquidity” and “Phase 4: Order Blocks” to catch reversals at key levels.
⚠️ Limitations
Subjectivity: Market structure can be interpreted differently depending on the swing length settings used.
Ranging Markets: Like all trend-following concepts, false BOS/MSS signals may generate during choppy, sideways price action.
Repainting: While the signals are non-repainting once confirmed, the live candle may flash a signal before the close if “Close” mode is selected.
💡 What Makes This Unique
Interactive Learning: The inclusion of tooltip explanations transforms this from a simple tool into an active mentor.
Phase-Based Workflow: The ability to strip the chart back to basics at the click of a button is unique to the PhenLabs ecosystem.
🔬 How It Works
Swing Analysis: The script calculates pivot highs and lows based on your length input to define the structural landscape.
Break Validation: It checks if price crosses these pivot points to trigger BOS (Continuation) or MSS (Reversal) logic.
Volume Confirmation: For Order Blocks, it looks back inside the swing leg to find the specific candle responsible for the move, verifying it has significant volume.
💡 Note:
For the best experience, start in Phase 1 to calibrate your Swing Detection Length to the specific volatility of the asset you are trading before enabling Full Strategy Mode.

Call-Put Cross Strike Match [Pro]📊 Call-Put Cross Strike Match - Professional Options Trading Indicator
Advanced NSE Options Analysis with AI-Powered Trading Signals & Dynamic Display
🎯 Overview
The Call-Put Cross Strike Match is an institutional-grade options analysis tool designed exclusively for NSE NIFTY and BANKNIFTY traders. Built on Pine Script v6, this indicator combines sophisticated cross-strike matching algorithms with intelligent trading signal generation to identify optimal options trading opportunities in real-time.
What makes it unique:
Analyzes 25 call-put combinations simultaneously
Generates actionable BUY/SELL signals using professional strategies
Fully customizable display with 9 table positions and 6 size options
Simplified setup with semi-automatic ATM detection
Clean, clutter-free interface with only essential information
Perfect for intraday scalpers, premium sellers, and positional options traders.
✨ Key Features
1. 🔍 Advanced Cross-Strike Matching Algorithm
The indicator calculates price differences for all 25 combinations (5 call strikes × 5 put strikes) and identifies the best matches based on put-call parity.
How it works:
Compares each call option price with every put option price
Calculates absolute difference: |Call - Put |
Ranks all 25 combinations from lowest to highest difference
Highlights top 3 or top 5 matches with visual checkmarks
Visual indicators:
✓✓ (Double check) = Best match (lowest price difference)
✓ (Single check) = Good matches (top 3 or top 5)
Empty cells = No match (significant price difference)
Why this matters:
When Call ≈ Put at same strike, it indicates fair pricing and synthetic position opportunities. The indicator automatically finds these opportunities across different strike combinations.
2. 🎯 Intelligent Trading Signals (Last Column)
The indicator generates professional trading recommendations based on Call-Put price difference analysis:
Signal Types:
BUY CE - Long call opportunity (bullish)
SELL CE - Short call opportunity (premium selling)
BUY PE - Long put opportunity (bearish/hedge)
SELL PE - Short put opportunity (premium selling)
BULL - Moderate bullish bias
BEAR - Moderate bearish bias
ATM - Neutral market (near parity)
NEUTRAL - No clear bias
Color-Coded for Quick Decisions:
🟩 Green = Long opportunities (BUY CE, BULL)
🟥 Red = Short call opportunities (SELL CE)
🟧 Orange = Long put opportunities (BUY PE)
🟫 Maroon = Short put opportunities (SELL PE)
⬛ Gray = Neutral zones (ATM, NEUTRAL)
3. 🤖 Three Professional Signal Modes
SMART Mode (Recommended) 🎯
Context-aware institutional strategy that considers strike position relative to spot price.
Signal Logic:
text
OTM Call Expensive (C-P > threshold, Strike > Spot):
→ SELL CE (Premium selling opportunity)
ITM Call Underpriced (C-P > threshold, Strike < Spot):
→ BUY CE (Synthetic long opportunity)
OTM Put Expensive (C-P < -threshold, Strike < Spot):
→ SELL PE (Premium selling opportunity)
ITM Put Underpriced (C-P < -threshold, Strike > Spot):
→ BUY PE (Protection or synthetic short)
Near Parity (|C-P| < threshold/4):
→ ATM (Neutral market, straddle/strangle zone)
Moderate Imbalance:
→ BULL or BEAR (Directional bias without extreme pricing)
Best for: Professional traders, option writers, synthetic position builders
MOMENTUM Mode 📈
Trend-following strategy that rides market momentum.
Signal Logic:
text
Calls Expensive (C-P > threshold):
→ BUY CE (Follow bullish momentum)
Puts Expensive (C-P < -threshold):
→ BUY PE (Follow bearish momentum)
Near Parity:
→ NEUTRAL (No clear trend)
Best for: Intraday scalpers, directional traders, swing traders
MEAN REVERSION Mode 🔄
Counter-trend strategy focused on premium selling.
Signal Logic:
text
Calls Overpriced (C-P > threshold):
→ SELL CE (Collect inflated premium)
Puts Overpriced (C-P < -threshold):
→ SELL PE (Collect inflated premium)
Near Parity:
→ ATM (Fair value, no edge)
Best for: Option writers, theta decay strategies, credit spread traders
4. 🎨 Fully Customizable Display
Dynamic Table Positioning (9 Options):
Top: left, center, right
Middle: left, center, right
Bottom: left, center, right

💬 FAQ
Q: Why manual strike entry? Why not fully automatic?
A: Pine Script's type system limits fully automatic strike generation from live data. However, setup takes just 30 seconds once at market open, and the indicator handles all analysis automatically throughout the day.
Q: How often should I update strikes?
A: Rarely! Only when market moves 100+ points from initial ATM. Usually 0-2 times per day, even in volatile markets.
Q: Which Signal Mode is best?
A: Smart mode (default) for professional trading. Use Momentum for intraday scalping, Mean Reversion for premium selling.
Q: Can I use this for stock options?
A: No. The indicator is designed specifically for NSE index options (NIFTY and BANKNIFTY) with NSE format.
Q: Does it work on mobile?
A: Yes, but table display is optimized for desktop/tablet screens. Use "tiny" or "small" size on mobile.
Q: What if I see "-" in cells?
A: Check expiry format (YYMMDD), verify strikes match NSE strikes, and ensure market is open.
Q: What's the difference between ✓✓ and ✓?
A: ✓✓ = Best match (lowest price difference), highest quality. ✓ = Good matches (top 3-5), reliable quality.
Q: Can I backtest this indicator?
A: The indicator shows live analysis. For backtesting options strategies, you'll need historical options data and separate backtesting tools.
Q: What does the info box show?
A: Bottom-left box shows key metrics: symbol, signal mode, spot price, ATM strike, best matched strikes, match difference, and C-P value.
Q: Why no chart plotting?
A: v1.0 focuses on clean table display with maximum information density. Chart plotting may be added in future versions based on user feedback.

IFVGs [NINE]Overview
The IFVG Indicator is a precision-engineered tool designed to identify and display Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVGs), a powerful price action concept rooted in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology. This indicator automatically detects when price closes through an existing Fair Value Gap, causing the zone to "invert" and flip its directional bias, signaling potential areas of institutional interest for future price reactions.
What is an Inversion Fair Value Gap?
A Fair Value Gap (FVG) is a three-candle pattern where a gap exists between the wicks of the first and third candles, representing an imbalance in price delivery. These zones often act as magnets for price to return and "fill" the inefficiency.
An Inversion Fair Value Gap (IFVG) occurs when price doesn't just tap into an FVG, it closes through it with a candle body. This "inversion" transforms the zone:
A Bullish FVG that gets closed through becomes a Bearish IFVG (potential resistance/supply zone)
A Bearish FVG that gets closed through becomes a Bullish IFVG (potential support/demand zone)
IFVGs represent areas where the market has shown its hand — institutional order flow has aggressively moved through a prior inefficiency, and the inverted zone now becomes a point of interest for potential reversals or continuations.
Key Features
Automatic IFVG Detection
The indicator continuously monitors for Fair Value Gaps and automatically converts them to IFVGs when price body closes through the zone. No manual identification required.
Multiple Display Styles
Choose from four distinct visualization modes to match your chart aesthetic:
Level — Clean, minimal single line at the IFVG extreme (top for bullish, bottom for bearish)
Normal — Filled zone with dashed borders and dot label
Minimalist — High/low boundary lines with connecting link
Classic — Filled box with 50% midline only
Full Customization
Independent colors for bullish and bearish IFVGs
Adjustable transparency for zone fills
Optional 50% midline (Consequent Encroachment level)
Flexible label styles: "IFVG" or "+/−" notation
Multiple label sizes: Tiny, Small, Normal, Large
Smart Extension Options
Extend to Current Bar — Zones dynamically extend as price progresses
Extend to Confirmation — Zones end at the bar where inversion occurred
Manual Offset — Fine-tune extension length in bars
Clustered IFVG Filter
Prevents chart clutter by ensuring only one IFVG per direction forms within a 5-bar cooldown period. When a single candle closes through multiple FVGs, only the first IFVG of that directional series is displayed — eliminating redundant signals and keeping your chart clean.
FVG Lookback Control
Limit which FVGs can become IFVGs based on their age. Options include 10, 50, 100, 200, or 300 bars. This filters out old, stale FVGs that may create less relevant inversions.
Session Time Filters
Optional time-based filtering allows you to focus on specific trading sessions:
Configurable session windows (e.g., 9:30 AM - 12:00 PM)
Support for two independent session filters
Multiple timezone options including New York, London, Tokyo, and more
Volume Imbalance Detection
Optionally include Volume Imbalances (VIs) — gaps between candle bodies rather than wicks — expanding the scope of detectable inefficiencies.
Invalidation Tracking
IFVGs are automatically invalidated when price closes back through the zone in the opposite direction, with optional display of invalidated zones.
How to Use
Entry Confirmation
IFVGs serve as areas for trade entries. When price returns to a confirmed IFVG:
Bullish IFVG — Look for long entries as price taps the zone from above
Bearish IFVG — Look for short entries as price taps the zone from below

NWOG/NDOG [NINE]Overview
A professional-grade indicator for detecting and visualizing New Week Opening Gaps (NWOGs) and New Day Opening Gaps (NDOGs), essential concepts in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology and analysis.
What Are Opening Gaps?
Opening gaps represent price inefficiencies created between trading sessions. When one session closes and the next session opens at a different price, the resulting "gap" creates a zone of unfilled orders and potential liquidity. These gaps often act as magnets for price, providing high-probability trading opportunities as the market seeks to rebalance these inefficiencies.
NWOG (New Week Opening Gap)
The gap between Friday's close and Sunday's open. These weekly imbalances are significant because they represent the collective repositioning of institutional traders over the weekend. NWOGs frequently serve as major support/resistance zones that can influence price action for days or even weeks. Due to their larger timeframe context, NWOGs typically carry more weight than daily gaps.
NDOG (New Day Opening Gap)
The gap between one session's close and the next session's open. Daily gaps occur more frequently than weekly gaps, offering more regular trading setups. While individually less significant than NWOGs, NDOGs provide valuable intraday reference points and often fill within the same trading session.
Features In Depth
Gap Detection & Visualization
The indicator automatically identifies and plots opening gaps as they form in real-time.
Automatic Detection: The indicator monitors session transitions and instantly identifies when a gap forms between the previous close and current open. NWOGs are detected on Sunday opens, while NDOGs are detected at each new daily session open (excluding Sundays, which are reserved for NWOG detection).
Bullish vs Bearish Classification: Each gap is automatically classified based on its direction:
Bullish Gap (Gap Up): Current open is higher than previous close, indicates overnight buying pressure
Bearish Gap (Gap Down): Current open is lower than previous close, indicates overnight selling pressure
The indicator uses distinct color schemes for bullish and bearish gaps, making it easy to identify gap direction at a glance. Current/most recent gaps use the "new" color settings, while historical gaps use the standard color settings.
Historical Tracking: Track up to 20 gaps of each type simultaneously. The "Historical Count" setting controls how many gaps remain visible on your chart. Older gaps are automatically removed as new ones form, keeping your chart clean while maintaining relevant historical context.
Visual Customization:
Toggle gap boundary lines (HIGH/LOW) on or off independently from the background fill
Choose line styles: solid (⎯⎯⎯), dashed (----), or dotted (····)
Adjust line thickness from 1-4 pixels
Enable/disable background fill with customizable transparency
Set colors independently for current vs historical gaps
Consequent Encroachment (C.E.)
The Consequent Encroachment represents the 50% midpoint of a gap — a critical level in ICT methodology.
Why C.E. Matters: In smart money concepts, the C.E. level represents the point of maximum efficiency within an imbalance. Price often gravitates toward this level as it seeks to rebalance the gap. Many traders use C.E. as their primary target when trading gap fills, or as a key level for entries and stop placement.
C.E. Display Options:
Independent color settings for current vs historical gaps
Separate line style and thickness controls
Can be shown/hidden independently from gap boundaries
Quarter Levels (25% and 75%): For traders who want additional precision, the indicator offers optional quarter levels at 25% and 75% of the gap range. These levels can serve as:
Partial profit targets
Scaling entry points
Additional support/resistance zones within the gap
Fill Tracking & Percentage
The indicator provides sophisticated fill tracking to monitor how much of each gap has been "filled" by subsequent price action.
How Fill Percentage Works:
For bullish gaps (gap up): Measures how far price has retraced DOWN from the gap's high toward its low
For bearish gaps (gap down): Measures how far price has retraced UP from the gap's low toward its high
The fill percentage updates in real-time as price moves through the gap zone, giving you instant feedback on gap fill progress.
Fill Detection Methods:
Wicks: Uses the full candle range (high/low) — more sensitive, detects fills earlier
Bodies: Uses only open/close prices — more conservative, requires stronger commitment
Visual Fill Indicators: The fill percentage is displayed with intuitive symbols:
〇 0-24% filled — Gap is largely untouched
◔ 25-49% filled — Minor fill in progress
◑ 50-74% filled — C.E. level has been reached
◕ 75-99% filled — Gap nearly complete
⬤ 100% filled — Gap fully filled
Hide Filled Gaps: Enable this option to automatically remove gaps from your chart once they reach 100% fill. This keeps your chart focused on active, unfilled gaps that still represent potential trading opportunities.
Projection Levels
When price breaks out of a gap zone, projection levels provide potential targets based on the gap's size.
How Projections Work: Once price closes above a gap's high (for upward projections) or below a gap's low (for downward projections), the indicator calculates extension levels using the gap's range as a measuring unit. These projections function similarly to Fibonacci extensions but are anchored to the gap's dimensions.
Projection Direction:
Upward Projections: Triggered when price closes above the gap's high — levels project above the gap
Downward Projections: Triggered when price closes below the gap's low — levels project below the gap
Customizable Multipliers: Define your own projection levels using the "Projection Levels" input. Enter comma-separated values representing multiples of the gap size:
Default: 0.5,1,2,2.5
Example custom: 0.618,1,1.618,2,2.618 (Fibonacci-based)
Each value creates a projection line at that multiple of the gap range
Projection Display Options:
Side: Display projections on the Left (extending back from gap formation) or Right (extending forward)
Color, Style, Thickness: Full visual customization
Labels: Show multiplier values at each projection level
"Extend Until Tapped" Feature: When enabled (Left side only), projection lines stop extending once price touches them. This creates a visual record of which levels have been reached and when, helping you track projection performance over time. Untapped projections continue extending until they're reached.
Labels & Formatting
Comprehensive labeling options help you quickly identify and reference gaps on your chart.
Label Format Options:
Gap Type: Simple label showing "NWOG" or "NDOG"
Gap Type + Date: Includes the full date with day of week (e.g., "NWOG Monday, November 3, 2025")
Gap Type + Date + Filled Percent: Adds the fill percentage and symbol (e.g., "NWOG Monday, November 3, 2025 ")
Label Positioning:
When Show Levels is ON: Separate labels appear at the HIGH and LOW boundaries
When Show Levels is OFF: A single label appears at the C.E. (midpoint) level
Label Customization:
Text size: Tiny, Small, Normal, or Large
Text color and background color (set background transparency to 100 for no background)
Tooltips provide detailed information including all price levels and fill percentage
Hide Historical Labels: Enable this option to hide labels and projection text on all gaps except the most recent. Lines remain visible, but text clutter is reduced — useful when tracking many historical gaps.
Status Table
An optional summary table provides at-a-glance information about all active gaps.
Table Contents: For each active gap, the table displays:
Gap Type: NWOG or NDOG with date
HIGH: Upper boundary of the gap
LOW: Lower boundary of the gap
C.E.: Consequent Encroachment (50% level)
% Filled: Current fill percentage with visual symbol
Display Settings:
Position: 9 positions available (Top/Middle/Bottom × Left/Center/Right)
Size: Tiny, Small, or Normal text
Gap Count: Control how many NWOGs and NDOGs appear in the table (1-3 each)
Adaptive Theming: The table automatically detects your chart's background color and adjusts text colors for optimal readability on both light and dark themes.
Smart Filtering: The table only shows unfilled gaps (or gaps not hidden by the "Hide Filled" setting), keeping the display focused on actionable information.
Alert System
Stay informed of key gap events without constantly monitoring your charts.
Gap Formation Alerts: Receive an alert the moment a new gap is detected. The alert includes:
Gap direction (Bullish/Bearish)
Gap type (NWOG/NDOG)
Symbol name
Example: "Bullish NWOG formed on AMEX:SPY "
Gap Filled Alerts: Get notified when a gap reaches 100% fill. This is valuable for:
Confirming trade targets have been reached
Identifying when gaps are no longer active reference points
Example: "NWOG filled on AMEX:SPY "
Projection Level Alerts: Receive alerts when price reaches your defined projection levels. Each level only alerts once, preventing spam. Useful for:
Taking profits at projection targets
Identifying extended moves beyond the gap
Example: "NWOG 2x projection reached on AMEX:SPY "
General Settings
Gap Offset: Controls how many bars the gap lines extend to the right of the current candle (0-15 bars). A higher offset keeps labels and lines visible further into the future, while a lower offset keeps the display tighter to current price action.
Tips
NWOG Priority: NWOGs typically hold more significance than NDOGs due to their weekly timeframe. When NWOG and NDOG levels conflict, consider giving more weight to the NWOG.
Unfilled Historical Gaps: Gaps from days or weeks ago can still influence current price action. Don't ignore older unfilled gaps — they often become relevant when price returns to those zones.
Session Context: Pay attention to which session created the gap. Gaps formed during high-volume sessions (like NYSE open) may carry more significance than gaps from lower-volume periods.
Gap Size Matters: Larger gaps represent more significant imbalances and often provide stronger support/resistance. Smaller gaps may fill quickly and offer less reliable levels.
Clean Chart Option: Use "Hide Historical Labels" combined with the status table to maintain a clean chart while still having access to all gap information.
Requirements
Intraday Timeframes Only: This indicator works exclusively on intraday timeframes (minutes, hours). Gap detection requires session open/close data that is only available on intraday charts.
Sufficient Historical Data: Ensure your chart has enough historical bars loaded for accurate gap tracking, especially if using higher historical count settings.
Session-Based Markets: The indicator is optimized for markets with distinct trading sessions (stocks, futures, forex). 24/7 markets like crypto may show fewer or different gap patterns.

Fibonacci Projection with Volume & Delta Profile (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Fibonacci Projection with Volume & Delta Profile (Zeiierman) blends classic Fibonacci swing analysis with modern volume-flow reading to create a unified, projection-based market framework. The indicator automatically detects the latest swing high and swing low, builds a complete Fibonacci structure, and then projects future extension targets with clear visual pathways.
What makes this tool unique is the integration of two volume-based systems directly into the Fibonacci structure. A Fib-aligned Volume Profile shows how bullish and bearish volume accumulated inside the swing range, while a separate Delta Profile reveals the imbalance of buy–sell pressure inside each Fibonacci interval. Together, these elements transform the standard Fibonacci tool into a multi-dimensional structural and volume-flow map.
█ How It Works
The indicator first detects the most recent swing high and swing low using the Period setting. That swing defines the Fibonacci range, from which the script draws retracement levels (0.236–0.786) and builds a forward projection path using the chosen Projection Level and a 1.272 extension.
Along this path, it draws projection lines, target boxes, and percentage labels that show how far each projected leg extends relative to the previous one.
Inside the same swing range, the script builds a Fib-based Volume Profile by splitting price into rows and assigning each bar’s volume as bullish (close > open) or bearish (close ≤ open). On top of that, it calculates a Volume Delta Profile between each pair of fib levels, showing whether buyers or sellers dominated that band and how strong that imbalance was.
█ How to Use
This tool helps traders quickly understand market structure and where the price may be heading next. The projection engine shows the most likely future targets, highlights strong or weak legs in the move, and updates automatically whenever a new swing forms. This ensures you always see the most relevant and up-to-date projection path.
The Fib Volume Profile shows where volume supported the move and where it did not. Thick bullish buckets reveal zones where buyers stepped in aggressively, often becoming retestable support. Thick bearish buckets highlight zones of resistance or rejection, particularly useful if projected levels align with prior liquidity.
The Delta Profile adds a second dimension to volume reading by showing where buy–sell pressure was truly imbalanced. A projected Fibonacci target that aligns with a strong bullish delta, for example, may suggest continuation. A projection into a band dominated by bearish delta may warn of reversal or hesitation.
█ Settings
Period – bars used to determine swing high/low
Projection Level – chosen Fib ratio for projection path

CRT MTF + HTF Candles - Milana TradesCRT MTF + HTF Candles is an educational tool that helps you visualize higher-timeframe CRT and HTF candles on your intraday chart
The script automatically tracks key HTF levels and shows three types of CRT events:
1. Pending CRT
When a higher-timeframe candle breaks the previous high or low, the indicator marks this as a “pending” CRT.
This helps you see potential liquidity grabs and where price is currently trapped inside the HTF range
2. Completed CRT
A CRT becomes “completed” when price reaches the opposite side of the previously broken level
3. Invalid CRT
If price closes outside the HTF range before completion, the CRT is marked as invalid.
This helps you identify failed breaks and possible reversals.
Multi-Timeframe HTF Candles
The script draws clean higher-timeframe candles directly on your lower timeframe chart.
Each candle includes:
Body and wicks
HTF open & close
Swing high/low markers
Timeframe labels
Optional timers (showing time remaining in the candle)
Optional imbalances (FVG / volume imbalance)
Optional Midpont line (0.5)
HTF candle spacing
You can adjust candle width, spacing, and alignment so HTF candles fit nicely over lower-TF bars.
Gaps & Imbalances
The tool can highlight:
Fair value gaps
Volume imbalance
Swing Sweep line
When price tried update swing but closed inside the candle cange
Equlibrium line (Midpoint 0.5)
Timeframe tags & timers
Shows clear labels for each HTF candle
You can choose which timeframes to show (1H, 2H, 4H, Daily, etc.) and how many candles should be displayed
Trade smart, stay disciplined, and keep improving every day

Adaptive Trend Mapper-ATM (Arjo)Adaptive Trend Mapper (ATM) is a multi-factor trend, momentum, and compression-analysis tool designed to help traders visually map the strength and direction of market pressure.
Instead of simply combining existing indicators, ATM creates a new composite framework that blends momentum imbalance, directional strength, volatility contraction, and adaptive smoothing into a single, unified model.
Originality and usefulness
Adaptive Trend Mapper (ATM) does not replicate any one indicator.
It generates two custom indices— Bull Pressure Index and Bear Pressure Index —derived from a mathematical combination of RSI, inverse-RSI, and ADX. These indices behave differently from traditional oscillators:
They represent directional pressure on a 0–100 scale , not momentum.
They are designed to converge/diverge, forming a basis for the built-in Squeeze Detection Engine.
They can be optionally step-compressed , making the movement easier to read on fast or small charts.
The script also integrates a custom SuperSmoother trend model (not TradingView’s built-in function), which acts as an adaptive trend curve on the chart.
All calculations are combined intentionally—not as a mashup—to create a framework that allows traders to understand trend strength, compression phases, and micro-trend shifts in one place.
How the Indicator Works
1. Bull & Bear Pressure Indices:
These indices measure directional imbalance:
Bull Index = ADX strength weighted against inverse-RSI
Bear Index = ADX strength weighted against normal RSI
This produces two opposing pressure curves that rise or fall depending on whether buyers or sellers dominate.
You can optionally smooth these using:
SMA / EMA / WMA / RMA via the “Smoothing Settings” panel.
2. Squeeze & Compression Detection:
A squeeze is detected when:
ADX stays below a user-defined threshold
Bull–Bear Index difference shrinks
Average difference is falling (convergence)
This is a volatility-contraction model inspired by squeeze logic but applied to directional pressure, not Bollinger Bands/Keltner Channels .
3. Adaptive Trend Curve (SuperSmoother Engine)
The indicator applies a two-pole SuperSmoother filter to the price, then smooths it again using EMA.
The slope color flips between bullish and bearish and is displayed using:
A thin SuperSmoother curve
A thicker band for visual context
4. EMA-50 Trend Context:
An optional EMA-50 helps identify broad directional bias .
5. Step-Based Scaling
You can quantize the Bull/Bear indices using custom step intervals.
This makes the indicator easier to read on noisy intraday charts.
How to Use the Indicator
1. Trend Analysis
A rising Bull Index shows strengthening upward pressure
A rising Bear Index shows strengthening downward pressure
Wide divergence between the indices signals a strong trend
2. Compression / Squeeze Analysis
Yellow background = volatility compression + pressure convergence
Breakouts from this zone often precede directional expansion
3. Trendline Reading
SuperSmoother line color flip = micro trend shift
EMA-50 slope gives macro-trend direction
Perfect for combining trend and momentum maps on the same chart
4. Visual Interpretation
Cyan/teal → strong bullish pressure
Purple/red/orange → various levels of bearish control
Neutral/teal background → weak ADX
Yellow background → squeeze zone
Open-Source Notes
This script uses:
TradingView built-in RSI, ADX/DMI, and smoothing functions
A SuperSmoother implementation based on known DSP filter coefficients
All remaining logic, signal methods, composite indices, and compression model are original developments by ARJO .
The script is published open-source to comply with TradingView’s reuse policy.

This tool is for educational and analytical purposes only.
It does not generate buy or sell signals.

Quantura - Supply & Demand Zone DetectionIntroduction
“Quantura – Supply & Demand Zone Detection” is an advanced indicator designed to automatically detect and visualize institutional supply and demand zones, as well as breaker blocks, directly on the chart. The tool helps traders identify key areas of market imbalance and potential reversal or continuation zones, based on price structure, volume, and ATR dynamics.
Originality & Value
This indicator provides a unique and adaptive method of zone detection that goes beyond simple pivot or candle-based logic. It merges multiple layers of confirmation—volume sensitivity, ATR filters, and swing structure—while dynamically tracking how zones evolve as the market progresses. Unlike traditional supply and demand indicators, this script also detects and plots Breaker Zones when previous imbalances are violated, giving traders an extra layer of market context.
The key values of this tool include:
Automated detection of high-probability supply and demand zones.
Integration of both volume and ATR filters for precision and adaptability.
Dynamic zone merging and updating based on price evolution.
Identification of breaker blocks (invalidated zones) to visualize market structure shifts.
Optional bullish and bearish trade signals when zones are retested.
Clear, visually optimized plotting for efficient chart interpretation.
Functionality & Core Logic
The indicator continuously scans recent price data for swing highs/lows and combines them with optional volume and ATR conditions to validate potential zones.
Demand Zones are formed when price action indicates accumulation or a strong bullish rejection from a low area.
Supply Zones are created when distribution or strong bearish rejection occurs near local highs.
Breaker Blocks appear when existing zones are invalidated by price, helping traders visualize potential market structure shifts.
Bullish and bearish signals appear when price re-enters an active zone or breaks through a breaker block.
Parameters & Customization
Demand Zones / Supply Zones: Enable or disable each individually.
Breaker Zones: Activate breaker block detection for invalidated zones.
Volume Filter: Optional filter to only confirm zones when volume exceeds its long-term average by a user-defined multiplier.
ATR Filter: Optional filter for volatility confirmation, ensuring zones form under strong momentum conditions.
Swing Length: Controls the number of bars used to detect structural pivots.
Sensitivity Controls: Adjustable ATR and volume multipliers to fine-tune detection responsiveness.
Signals: Toggle for on-chart bullish (▲) and bearish (▼) signal plotting when price interacts with zones.
Color Customization: User-defined bullish and bearish colors for both standard and breaker zones.
Core Calculations
Zones are detected using pivot highs and lows with a defined lookback and lookahead period.
Additional filters apply if ATR and volume are enabled, requiring conditions like “ATR > average * multiplier” and “Volume > average * multiplier.”
Detected zones are merged if overlapping, keeping the chart clean and logical.
When price breaks through a zone, the original box is closed, and a new breaker zone is plotted automatically.
Bullish and bearish markers appear when zones are retested from the opposite side.
Visualization & Display
Demand zones are shaded in semi-transparent bullish color (default: blue).
Supply zones are shaded in semi-transparent bearish color (default: red).
Breaker zones appear when previous imbalances are broken, helping to spot structural shifts.
Optional arrows (▲ / ▼) indicate potential buy or sell reactions on zone interaction.
Use Cases
Identify institutional areas of accumulation (demand) or distribution (supply).
Detect potential breakout traps and market structure shifts using breaker zones.
Combine with other tools such as volume profile, EMA, or liquidity indicators for deeper confirmation.
Observe retests and reactions of zones to anticipate possible reversals or continuations.
Apply multi-timeframe analysis to align higher timeframe zones with lower timeframe entries.
Limitations & Recommendations
The indicator does not predict future price movement; it highlights structural imbalances only.
Performance depends on chosen swing length and sensitivity—users should optimize parameters for each market.
Works best in volatile markets where supply and demand imbalances are clearly expressed.
Should be used as part of a broader trading framework, not as a standalone signal generator.

It is designed to help traders instantly understand the market’s structure, liquidity flow, and potential turning points without switching tools or manually marking charts. Whether you trade forex, indices, crypto, or commodities, this indicator automatically identifies where institutional activity, imbalances, and price inefficiencies occur in real time.
With its advanced algorithm, it plots market structure shifts, equal highs and lows, liquidity zones, order blocks, fair value gaps (FVGs), and previous week and day levels (PWO, PWH, PWL, PWC, PDO, PDH, PDL, PDO). It also integrates a deep candlestick recognition engine that detects over ten classic and advanced candle formations including engulfing patterns, dojis, hammers, shooting stars, morning/evening stars, and spinning tops to provide precise confirmation at critical points of interest.
This indicator isn’t just a tool it’s a complete market map that helps traders visualize how institutional order flow and candlestick sentiment interact.
Core Features
📊 Market Structure Detection:
Automatically marks swing highs/lows, Break of Structure (BOS), and Change of Character (CHOCH) in real time.
💧 Liquidity Mapping:
Highlights equal highs/lows and liquidity grabs, showing where price is likely to target before a reversal or continuation.
🧱 Order Block Visualization:
Displays the last bullish or bearish candle before an impulsive displacement, acting as a potential institutional entry zone.
⚡ Fair Value Gap (FVG) Scanner:
Detects and highlights imbalances where price moved too fast, helping you identify high-probability retracement areas.
🕯️ Candlestick Pattern Recognition:
Recognizes key reversal and continuation patterns (engulfing, hammer, shooting star, doji, morning/evening star, etc.) in real time.
📅 Institutional Reference Points:
Plots previous week & day open (PWO, PDO), previous week & day high (PWH, PWH), previous week & day low (PWL, PDL), previous week & day close (PWC, PDC) and optionally previous day levels to help frame bias.
🎨 Customizable Design:
Toggle any feature, change colors, and set alerts when multiple Smart Money signals align for cleaner, faster decision-making.
How It Works
Add the indicator to your chart on any timeframe or market.
The algorithm automatically detects structure, liquidity, and imbalance zones.
Candlestick patterns are highlighted when they form near high-probability areas (like OBs or FVGs).
When confluence occurs such as a liquidity grab, FVG fill, and bullish engulfing candle—the indicator provides a visual signal zone for your confirmation-based entries.
You can refine your trades using higher-timeframe bias (HTF order flow) and lower-timeframe execution (LTF confirmation).
Best For
Traders using ICT, Smart Money Concepts, or price-action systems.
Intraday and swing traders looking for clear, data-driven chart structure.
Traders who want to simplify confluence analysis and focus on precision execution.
Why It Stands Out
Unlike standard candlestick or pattern scanners, this indicator merges institutional market logic with technical candle behavior, allowing traders to see where smart money might be entering or exiting positions.
It’s not about random signals it’s about context, structure, and confirmation.
Every feature in this indicator is built around the principle of liquidity engineering:
price creates liquidity, grabs it, and moves toward imbalance or order flow efficiency.
By merging that institutional logic with candlestick patterns, this tool gives traders an edge in recognizing not only where to trade but why price is reacting in that exact area.

HTF Candles & ReversalsThis indicator, "HTF Candles & Reversals," provides multi-timeframe (HTF) candlestick overlays combined with advanced market structure and reversal detection, all on your main TradingView chart. It empowers traders to visualize the broader trend context, spot potential price reversals, and identify Fair Value Gaps (Imbalances) across up to eight user-selectable higher timeframes, supporting robust, efficient technical analysis.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Candle Display: Overlays up to eight higher timeframe candles (5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W, 1M, 3M) on any chart. Each HTF candle features customizable body, border, and wick colors for bullish and bearish states.
Live Price Action Representation: HTF candle data is updated in real time, reflecting both completed and developing HTF candles for continuous context during current price moves.
Reversal Pattern Detection: Spots key bullish and bearish reversal patterns on both standard and HTF candles, marking them with green (bullish) and red (bearish) triangles beneath or above the main candles. HTF candles are optionally colored (lime/orange) upon identifying stronger reversal setups.
Fair Value Gap (Imbalance) Visualization: Automatically detects and highlights HTF imbalances (FVG) with transparent rectangles and mid-line overlays, indicating zones of potential price revisits and trading interest.
Day-of-Week Labels: For daily HTF candles, annotated with custom-positioned weekday labels (above/below), aiding in session structure recognition.
Customizable Visuals: Extensive settings for the distance, width, transparency, and buffer of overlaid candles, as well as label/timer position, alignment, sizing, and coloring—including per-element control for clarity and chart aesthetics.
HTF Timer & Labeling: Optionally display the HTF name and a remaining-time countdown for each candle, positioned at the top, bottom, or both, for improved situational awareness.
Performance Optimizations: Script is designed for overlay use with up to 500 candles, lines, and labels on charts with deep historical access (5,000 bars back).
How to Use
Apply the script to your chart and select the desired number of HTF candles to display.
Enable or disable triangles for reversal spotting and customize color schemes to match your workflow.
Leverage HTF overlays to validate lower timeframe signals, spot key levels, and monitor imbalances as price moves toward or away from high-interest zones.

FVG - Sweep [TradeWithRon]FVG – Sweep - A multi-layer liquidity and imbalance detection system designed to help traders identify high-probability zones where price is likely to react.
🔍 Overview
This indicator combines Sweep Detection , Fair Value Gap (FVG) logic, and Change in State of Delivery (CISD) confirmation into a single streamlined tool. It helps traders visually connect liquidity grabs, displacement imbalances, and continuation or reversal opportunities — all in one chart.
⚙️ How It Works
1. Sweep Detection (Liquidity Grabs)
Detects when price takes liquidity above a previous high or below a previous low, then rejects it.
Alerts trigger when a bullish or bearish sweep is confirmed.
2. CISD Confirmation (Change in State of Delivery)
Identifies structural shifts using candle body direction and previous swing breaks.
Confirms when price transitions from expansion to contraction or vice versa.
CISD alerts notify when new shifts occur on any selected timeframe.
3. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection
Automatically highlights the first valid FVG following a confirmed sweep optional or CISD.
Optional alert for IFVG confirmation.
🧩 Why It’s Powerful
Multiple conditions across separate tools — sweeps, imbalances, and structure shifts.
This indicator integrates all three into one system that can:
Detect liquidity grabs,
Confirm displacement through FVGs,
Validate momentum or reversals with CISD logic.
🧩 Ideal Use Case
Combine this tool with your existing strategy to:
Build liquidity + imbalance confluence zones
Spot reversal setups after sweeps
Track continuations after structural shifts
Automate alerts for precision entries
TPO Levels [VAH/POC/VAL] with Poor H/L, Single Prints & NPOCs### 🎯 Advanced Market Profile & Key Level Analysis
This script is a unique and comprehensive technical analysis tool designed to help traders understand market structure, value, and key liquidity levels using the principles of **Auction Market Theory** and **Market Profile**.
This script is unique (and shouldn't be censored) because :
It allows large history of levels to be displayed
Accurate as possible tick size
Doesn't draw a profile but only the actual levels
Supports multi-timeframe levels even on the daily mode giving macro context
There is no indicator out there that does it
While these concepts are universal, this indicator was built primarily for the dynamic, 24/7 nature of the **cryptocurrency market**. It helps you move beyond simple price action to understand *why* the market is moving, which is especially crucial in the volatile crypto space.
### ## 📊 The Concepts Behind the Calculations
To use this script effectively, it's important to understand the core concepts it is built upon. The entire script is self-contained and does not require other indicators.
* **What is Market Profile?**
Market Profile is a unique charting technique that organizes price and time data to reveal market structure. It's built from **Time Price Opportunities (TPOs)**, which are 30-minute periods of market activity. By stacking these TPOs, the script builds a distribution, showing which price levels were most accepted (heavily traded) and which were rejected (lightly traded) during a session.
* **What is the Value Area (VA)?**
The Value Area is the heart of the profile. It represents the price range where **70%** of the session's trading volume occurred. This is considered the "fair value" zone where both buyers and sellers were in general agreement.
* **Point of Control (POC):** The single price level with the most TPOs. This was the most accepted or "fairest" price of the session and acts as a gravitational line for price.
* **Value Area High (VAH):** The upper boundary of the 70% value zone.
* **Value Area Low (VAL):** The lower boundary of the 70% value zone.
VAH and VAL are dynamic support and resistance levels. Trading outside the previous session's value area can signal the start of a new trend.
***
### ## 📈 Key Features Explained
This script automatically calculates and displays the following critical market-generated information:
* **Multi-Timeframe Market Profile**
Automatically draws Daily, Weekly, and Monthly profiles, allowing you to analyze market structure across different time horizons. The script preserves up to 20 historical sessions to provide deep market context.
* **Naked Point of Control (nPOC)**
A "Naked" POC is a Point of Control from a previous session that has **not** been revisited by price. These levels often act as powerful magnets for price, representing areas of unfinished business that the market may seek to retest. The script tracks and displays Daily, Weekly, and Monthly nPOCs until they are touched.
* **Single Prints (Imbalance Zones)**
A Single Print is a price level where only one TPO traded during the session's development. This signifies a rapid, aggressive price move and an imbalanced market. These areas, like gaps in a traditional chart, are frequently revisited as the market seeks to "fill in" these thin parts of the profile.
* **Poor Structure (Unfinished Auctions)**
A **Poor High** or **Poor Low** occurs when the top or bottom of a profile is flat, with two or more TPOs at the extreme price. This suggests that the auction in that direction was weak and inconclusive. These weak structures often signal a high probability that price will eventually break that high or low.
***
### ## 💡 How to Use This Indicator
This tool is not a signal generator but an analytical framework to improve your trading decisions.
1. **Determine Market Context:** Start by asking: Is the current price trading *inside* or *outside* the previous session's Value Area?
* **Inside VA:** The market is in a state of balance or range-bound. Look for trades between the VAH and VAL.
* **Outside VA:** The market is in a state of imbalance and may be starting a trend. Look for continuation or acceptance of prices outside the prior value.
2. **Identify Key Levels:**
* Use historical **nPOCs** as potential profit targets or areas to watch for a price reaction.
* Treat historical **VAH** and **VAL** levels as significant support and resistance zones.
* Note where **Single Prints** are. These are often price magnets that may get "filled" in the future.
3. **Spot Weakness:**
* A **Poor High** suggests weak resistance that may be easily broken.
* A **Poor Low** suggests weak support, signaling a potential for a continued move lower if broken.
***
### ## ⚙️ Customization & Crypto Presets
The indicator is highly customizable, allowing you to change colors, transparency, the number of historical sessions, and more.
To help traders get started quickly, the indicator includes **built-in layout presets** specifically calibrated for major cryptocurrencies: ** BINANCE:BTCUSDT.P , BINANCE:ETHUSDT.P , and BINANCE:SOLUSDT.P **. These presets automatically adjust key visual parameters to better suit the unique price characteristics and volatility of each asset, providing an optimized view right out of the box.

### ## ⚠️ Disclaimer
This indicator is a tool for market analysis and should not be interpreted as direct buy or sell signals. It provides information based on historical price action, which does not guarantee future results. Trading involves significant risk, and you should always use proper risk management. This script is designed for use on standard chart types (e.g., Candlesticks, Bar) and may produce misleading information on non-standard charts.
52SIGNAL RECIPE CME Gap Support & Resistance Detector═══ 52SIGNAL RECIPE CME Gap Support & Resistance Detector ═══
◆ Overview
The 52SIGNAL RECIPE CME Gap Support & Resistance Detector is an advanced technical indicator that automatically detects and visualizes all types of price gaps occurring in the CME Bitcoin futures market on trading charts. It captures not only gaps formed during weekend and holiday closures, but also those created during the daily 1-hour maintenance period on weekdays, and sudden price gaps resulting from economic indicator releases or news events.
The core value of this indicator lies beyond simply displaying gaps; it visualizes how these price discontinuities act as powerful support and resistance zones that influence future price movements. In real markets, these CME gaps have a high probability of either being "filled" or functioning as important reaction zones, providing traders with valuable entry and exit signals.

• Gray Gaps (Filled Gaps):
▶ Meaning: Price has completely passed through the gap area, filling the gap
▶ Reference Value: Still valuable as reference for past important reaction zones
▶ Trading Application: Used to confirm trend strength and identify key psychological levels
■ Understanding Color Transitions
• Blue → Red Transition:
▶ Meaning: Price has fallen below the gap, changing its role from support to resistance
▶ Market Interpretation: Breakdown of previous support strengthens bearish signals
▶ Trading Application: Consider potential further decline; check gap bottom as resistance during bounces
• Red → Blue Transition:
▶ Meaning: Price has risen above the gap, changing its role from resistance to support
▶ Market Interpretation: Breakout above previous resistance strengthens bullish signals
▶ Trading Application: Consider potential further rise; check gap top as support during pullbacks
─────────────────────────────────────
◆ Practical Application Guide
■ Basic Trading Scenarios
• Blue Gap Support Strategy:
▶ Entry Point: When price approaches the top of a blue gap and forms a bounce candle
▶ Stop Loss: Below the gap bottom (if price completely breaks down through the gap)
▶ Take Profit: Previous swing high or next resistance level above
▶ Probability Enhancers: Gap aligned with major moving averages, oversold RSI, strong bounce candle pattern
• Red Gap Resistance Strategy:
▶ Entry Point: When price approaches the bottom of a red gap and forms a rejection candle
▶ Stop Loss: Above the gap top (if price completely breaks up through the gap)
▶ Take Profit: Previous swing low or next support level below
▶ Probability Enhancers: Gap aligned with major moving averages, overbought RSI, strong rejection candle pattern
■ Advanced Pattern Applications

─────────────────────────────────────
◆ Technical Foundation
■ CME Gap Formation Principles
• Key Gap Formation Scenarios:
▶ Weekend Closures (Friday close → Monday open): Most common CME gap formation point
▶ Holiday Closures: Gaps occurring due to CME closures on US holidays
▶ Weekday 1-hour Maintenance: Gaps during daily CME maintenance period (16:00-17:00 CT)
▶ Major Economic Indicator Releases: Gaps from rapid price changes during US employment reports, FOMC decisions, CPI releases, etc.
▶ Significant News Events: Gaps from regulatory announcements, geopolitical events, market shocks, etc.
• Psychological Importance of Gaps:
▶ Zones where price formation did not occur, representing imbalance between buying/selling forces
▶ Gap areas have no actual trading, resulting in accumulated potential orders
▶ Reflect institutional investor positions and liquidity distribution in the CME futures market
■ Support/Resistance Mechanism
• Psychological Level Formation Mechanism:
▶ Unexecuted order accumulation in gap areas: Loss of ordering opportunity at those price levels
▶ Liquidity imbalance: No trading occurred in gap areas, creating liquidity voids
▶ Institutional activity: Institutional participants in CME futures markets pay attention to these gap areas
• Evidence of Support/Resistance Function:
▶ Statistical gap fill phenomenon: Most gaps eventually "fill" (price returns to gap area)
▶ Gap-based reactions: Increased frequency of price reactions (bounces/rejections) when reaching gap areas
▶ Market psychology impact: Influences traders' perceived value and fair price assessment
─────────────────────────────────────
◆ Advanced Configuration Options
■ Visualization Settings
• Show Gap Labels (Default: On)
▶ On: Displays price ranges of each gap numerically for precise support/resistance level identification
▶ Off: Hides labels for visual cleanliness
• Color Settings
▶ Filled Gap Color: Gray tones, shows gaps already traversed by price
▶ Unfilled Gap Color - Support: Blue, shows gaps currently acting as support
▶ Unfilled Gap Color - Resistance: Red, shows gaps currently acting as resistance
■ Data Management Settings
• Filled Gap Storage Limit (Default: 10)
▶ Sets maximum number of filled gaps to retain on chart
▶ Recommended settings: Short-term traders (5-8), Swing traders (8-12), Position traders (10-15)
• Maximum Gap Retention Period (Default: 12 months)
▶ Sets period after which old unfilled gaps are automatically removed
▶ Recommended settings: Short-term analysis (3-6 months), Medium-term analysis (6-12 months), Long-term analysis (12-24 months)
─────────────────────────────────────
◆ Synergy with Other Indicators
• Volume Profile: Greatly increased reaction probability when CME gaps align with Volume Profile value areas
• Fibonacci Retracements: Formation of powerful reaction zones when major Fibonacci levels coincide with gap areas
• Moving Averages: Areas where major moving averages overlap with CME gaps act as "composite support/resistance"
• Horizontal Support/Resistance: Very strong price reactions expected when historical key price levels align with CME gaps
• Market Sentiment Indicators (RSI/MACD): Assess reaction probability by checking oversold/overbought conditions when price approaches gap areas
─────────────────────────────────────
◆ Conclusion
The 52SIGNAL RECIPE CME Gap Support & Resistance Detector is not merely a gap display tool, but an advanced analytical tool that visualizes important support/resistance areas where price may strongly react, using intuitive color codes (blue=support, red=resistance). It detects all types of gaps without omission, whether from weekend and holiday closures, weekday 1-hour maintenance periods, important economic indicator releases, or market shock situations.
The core value of this indicator lies in clearly expressing through intuitive color coding that gaps are not simple price discontinuities, but psychological support/resistance areas that significantly influence future price action. Traders can instantly identify areas where blue gaps act as support and red gaps act as resistance, enabling quick and effective decision-making.
By referencing the color codes when price approaches gap areas to predict possible price reactions, and especially interpreting color transition moments (blue→red or red→blue) as signals of important market sentiment changes and integrating them into trading strategies, traders can capture higher-probability trading opportunities.
─────────────────────────────────────
※ Disclaimer: Like all trading tools, the CME Gap Detector should be used as a supplementary indicator and not relied upon alone for trading decisions. Past gap reaction patterns cannot guarantee the same behavior in the future. Always use appropriate risk management strategies.

◆ 기술적 기반
■ CME 갭의 발생 원리
• 주요 갭 발생 상황:
▶ 주말 휴장 (금요일 종가 → 월요일 시가): 가장 일반적인 CME 갭 형성 시점
▶ 공휴일 휴장: 미국 공휴일에 따른 CME 휴장 시 발생
▶ 평일 1시간 휴장: CME 시장의 일일 정비 시간(16:00~17:00 CT) 동안 발생
▶ 주요 경제지표 발표: 미 고용지표, FOMC 결정, CPI 등 발표 시 급격한 가격 변동으로 인한 갭
▶ 중요 뉴스 이벤트: 규제 발표, 지정학적 이벤트, 시장 충격 등으로 인한 급격한 가격 변화
• 갭의 심리적 중요성:
▶ 가격 형성이 이루어지지 않은 구간으로, 매수/매도 세력의 불균형 영역
▶ 갭 구간에는 실제 거래가 없었기 때문에 잠재적 주문이 누적되는 영역
▶ 기관 투자자들의 선물 포지션과 유동성 분포가 반영된 중요한 가격 레벨
■ 지지/저항으로 작용하는 원리
• 심리적 레벨 형성 메커니즘:
▶ 갭 구간의 미실행 주문 축적: 갭 발생 시 해당 가격대에 대한 주문 기회 상실
▶ 유동성 불균형: 갭 구간에는 거래가 없었으므로 유동성 공백 발생

HyperFlowIntroduction
HyperFlow is a premium market structure and liquidity rotation model built around the principles of internal inefficiencies, tested imbalances, and delivery shifts. Drawing inspiration from ICT concepts, it provides a high-level framework for identifying smart money footprints and timing entries with precision.
Rather than forecasting direction, HyperFlow focuses on recognizing repeatable delivery behaviors — helping traders visually track liquidity shifts from internal ranges to external objectives with consistency.
Core Philosophy
Markets are governed by the logic of liquidity engineering — the search and destruction of internal inefficiencies (Fair Value Gaps), followed by continuations toward external liquidity.
Timeframes to use:
HTF -> LTF
5m -> 15s
15m -> 1m
1h -> 5m
4h -> 15m
Daily -> 1h
Weekly -> 4h
Monthly -> 1D
HyperFlow identifies these transitions by:
Detecting High Timeframe Fair Value Gaps (HTF FVGs) — structural imbalances created by displacement
Tracking Valid Tests of those FVGs — signaling willingness to respect internal structure
Filtering for Delivery Confirmations — only acting when price delivers with intent through reclaimed imbalances
Mapping Risk and Objective Zones — using recent swing structures to define stop and target logic rooted in market logic
All components are reactive, visual, and non-repainting — designed to highlight structure after it forms, not anticipate it prematurely.
Key Features
Internal Range Liquidity Zones: Cleanly marked HTF imbalances show where price may seek efficiency
Tested FVG Filtering: Signals only form on valid rebalances — we wait for proof, not potential
Shift in Delivery Conditions: Price must show intent to reclaim imbalance before any rotation is considered
Automatic Objective Mapping: Recent structural highs/lows are used to project stop and target zones automatically
Session Filters + Time Alignment: Restrict signals to high-probability hours or defined killzones
Minimal, High-Impact Visuals: Tested/untested FVGs are differentiated by transparency and tone, keeping your chart clean and focused
HyperFlow is built for:
Traders who understand price delivery theory
Analysts studying displacement → reversion → continuation
Those seeking higher timeframe bias alignment through tested structure
Users of ICT-based concepts who want a visual, rules-based companion
This is not a beginner's tool. It’s for those seeking repeatable execution through structure and refinement, not guesswork.

Consecutive CandlesSummary
This indicator helps visualize short-term momentum by automatically drawing boxes around sequences of consecutive same-colored candles (bullish or bearish). It's designed to quickly highlight periods of sustained buying or selling pressure directly on your chart.
How it Works
Consecutive Candle Detection: The script monitors the chart bar by bar, tracking consecutive candles where close > open (bullish) or close < open (bearish).
Box Drawing: When a sequence of same-colored candles reaches a user-defined minimum length (default is 3) and this sequence is then broken by an opposite-colored candle or a doji, a box is drawn.
Box Boundaries:
The top of the box is set to the highest high price reached during the sequence.
The bottom of the box is set to the lowest low price reached during the sequence.
The left edge of the box aligns with the start time of the first candle in the sequence.
The right edge of the box aligns with the end time of the last candle in the sequence.
Stability: Uses xloc = xloc.bar_time to ensure boxes remain accurately anchored to the price bars when zooming or panning the chart.
Real-time Extension: For active sequences meeting the minimum length on the latest developing bar, the box is optionally extended to the right.
Features
Automatically identifies and boxes sequences of 3 or more (customizable) consecutive bullish candles.
Automatically identifies and boxes sequences of 3 or more (customizable) consecutive bearish candles.
Extends box in real-time for active qualifying sequences.
Customizable minimum candle count (>= 2).
Customizable colors for bullish/bearish boxes and borders.
Settings
You can customize the indicator via the Settings menu (gear icon):
Minimum Consecutive Candles: Define how many candles in a row are needed to draw a box (Default: 3).
Bullish Box Color: Set the fill color for boxes around bullish sequences.
Bearish Box Color: Set the fill color for boxes around bearish sequences.
Box Border Color: Set the color for the border of all boxes.
Potential Use Cases
Momentum Identification: Quickly spot periods of strong, uninterrupted buying or selling.
Exhaustion/Reversal Signals: Very long sequences might indicate potential exhaustion, setting up reversal opportunities.
Consolidation Breakouts: A box forming after a period of tight consolidation can highlight the range just before a potential breakout.
Confirmation: Use the boxes as confirmation for entries or exits based on momentum shifts.
Disclaimer: This indicator provides visual aids based on price action. It should not be used as a standalone trading system. Always use indicators in conjunction with your own analysis and risk management rules.
Exhaustion Analysis - Bullish and Bearish Exhaustion Points Single Timeframe Exhaustion Analysis is an advanced Pine Script trading tool meticulously designed to provide traders with granular insights into market exhaustion and potential reversals by leveraging data from a single lower timeframe.
This script utilizes the request.security_lower_tf() function to pull high, low, close, and volume data from a user-specified lower timeframe, ensuring that the analysis is rooted in detailed, intraday price action rather than broader, less responsive data points.
At the heart of this indicator is a multi-faceted approach to market analysis, employing several key metrics that evaluate market efficiency, directional volume imbalances, and volume-to-price relationships.
The script calculates price efficiency as the relative movement of price compared to traded volume, offering a measure of how efficiently the market is absorbing buy and sell orders.
Directional imbalance is assessed by examining the dominance between buy-side and sell-side volumes, while volume-to-price ratios provide insight into the intensity of trading activity relative to price fluctuations.
Each of these metrics is computed across the entire range of lower timeframe data, generating individual values that are then aggregated and normalized.This normalization process ensures that no single metric dominates the analysis, instead creating a balanced composite view of market conditions.
The script’s normalization method scales these metrics into proportional ratios, allowing for consistent comparison across varying market states and ensuring adaptability in dynamic trading environments.
To enhance its detection capabilities, the indicator incorporates a multi-layered composite scoring system.
Three distinct composite scores are derived, each placing different emphasis on various market metrics, ranging from price efficiency and directional imbalance to volume dynamics and rate-of-change acceleration.These composite scores are then combined into a final composite score, which serves as the foundation for the script’s exhaustion and reversal detection logic.The script identifies exhaustion by comparing the final composite score against a historical percentile-based threshold, dynamically calculated over an extensive lookback period.
When market conditions reflect extreme exhaustion—either due to rapid price movements, volume surges, or directional imbalances—the script flags potential reversal zones.These exhaustion flags are visually represented as histogram plots, providing clear, real-time indicators of emerging market fatigue.
In addition to exhaustion detection, the indicator assesses potential directional reversals by integrating volatility-based range calculations.Utilizing a rolling average of price ranges, the script detects instances where the market breaks beyond typical price boundaries, signaling possible trend reversals.
Buy signals are generated when the price breaks above the previous high plus an adaptive range during periods of exhaustion, while sell signals occur when the price drops below the previous low minus the adaptive range under similar exhausted conditions.
To enhance usability, the script visually presents its analysis through multiple plots, including histogram representations of exhaustion flags, upward and downward reversal indicators, and the continuously updating final composite score.
Labels are dynamically added to the chart, marking buy and sell opportunities, ensuring that traders have clear, actionable insights at their fingertips.This script stands out for its meticulous use of lower timeframe data, comprehensive market metrics, and dynamic exhaustion detection, making it a valuable tool for traders looking to identify high-probability reversal points with precision and confidence.
FxCanli RangeFxCanli Range is an indicator based on ICT Internal Range and External Range concept.
What is ICT Internal Range Liquidity?
The Fair Value Gap is marked as the ICT internal range liquidity.
ICT Fair Value Gap is marked as the liquidity because it is a formation of three candles leaving an area between high and low of 1st and 3rd candle where price do not overlap.
FxCanli Range Indicator draws all Internal Ranges above explaining the ICT internal range liquidity.
What is Imbalance (FVG)?
Fair Value Gaps are price jumps caused by imbalanced buying and selling pressures.
A bullish Fair Value Gap is created when there is a gap between the high of the first candle and the low of the third candle.
A bearish Fair Value Gap is created when there is a gap between the low of the first candle and the high of the third candle.
What is ICT External Range Liquidity?
The swing high and swing low of an ICT dealing range are termed as external range.
The high of an ICT dealing range is termed as “buy side liquidity” assuming the buy stops rest above the high of dealing range.
While the low of an ICT dealing range is known as “sell side liquidity” assuming the sell stops resting below the low of dealing range.
FxCanli Range Indicator draws all External Ranges above explaining the ICT external range liquidity
🔶 USAGE & EXAMPLES
As ICT said us, Price moves 2 side, Internal Liquidity or External Liquidity
External Range Liquidity to Internal Range Liquidity
When price reached to External Range, it will sweep the External Range Liquidity
at that time, we have to wait price to reverse and start to move to Internal range liquidity (FVG)
our strategy has to be like this; we have to open 2 time less lower time frame
if we are at 1 hour chart, we have to open 1Hour - 15 min - 5 min chart
and wait for Trend Reversal pattern at there
Internal Range Liquidity to External Range Liquidity
When price reached to Internal Range(FVG), it will fill the imbalance
at that time, we have to wait price to reverse and start to move to External Range Liquidity.
Again we have to decrease our time frame 2 times.
if we are at 1 hour chart, we have to open 1Hour -> 15 min -> 5 min chart
and wait for Trend Reversal pattern at there

Fair Value Gaps - Cucaracha📘 Fair Value Gaps (FVG) – Clean, Automatic Detection & Real-Time Tracking
The Fair Value Gaps (FVG) indicator automatically detects and visualizes Bullish and Bearish Fair Value Gaps directly on your chart. Built with precision, it highlights imbalance zones, continuously extends them in real time, and removes them the moment they’re mitigated — giving you a clean and accurate market structure view.
✅ Key Features
Automatic FVG Detection
Identifies bullish and bearish FVGs using a strict 3-candle imbalance model.
Dynamic Boxes
Each detected FVG is drawn as a shaded box and extends forward until price fills or mitigates the zone.
Auto-Cleanup (Mitigation Logic)
When price returns to the gap and fills it, the zone is instantly removed, keeping your chart clean and focused.
Custom Colors
Choose your own colors for bullish and bearish FVG boxes.
🎯 Why Traders Use This
Fair Value Gaps are widely used in:
Smart Money Concepts (SMC)
ICT-style trading
Market imbalance analysis
They highlight areas where price moved aggressively and may later return to rebalance.
This indicator helps you:
Spot institutional imbalances instantly
Track unmitigated FVGs without manually drawing boxes
Stay focused on key reaction zones
Improve entries based on premium/discount and liquidity concepts
🧠 How It Works
Bullish FVG:
Occurs when price leaves a gap where low > high , creating an upward imbalance zone.
Bearish FVG:
Occurs when high < low , indicating a downward imbalance zone.
Detected gaps are plotted as forward-extending boxes until price mitigates them.
Once mitigated (price fills the gap), the zone is automatically removed.
🟦🟥 Visuals
Blue (or your chosen color): Bullish FVG
Red (or your chosen color): Bearish FVG
Prophet Model [TakingProphets]The Prophet Model — context pipeline (HTF PDA → Sweep → CISD → EPE) with dynamic risk
Purpose
Informational overlay for organizing institutional context in real time. It does not issue buy/sell signals and is not financial advice. Use it to structure analysis and checklist-driven execution—not to automate decisions.
What it does (modules at a glance)
Projects HTF PD Arrays (FVGs) onto your current chart and maintains only the nearest active array.
Validates directional bias using Candle Range Theory (CRT) on the same HTF.
Tracks Liquidity Sweeps (BSL/SSL) on HTF-aware pivots.
Confirms Change in State of Delivery (CISD) via displacement after a sweep.
Optionally refines entries with EPE when a local (internal) imbalance forms right after CISD.
Derives dynamic TP/BE/SL from measured displacement and recent extremes (not fixed distances).
Keeps a rules checklist (PDA tap → CRT → Sweep → CISD) and a relationships table (common HTF↔LTF pairings) to enforce process.
How it works (integration, not a mashup)
The modules are sequenced on one HTF time base so each step gates the next:
HTF PD Arrays (context zone). The model identifies valid HTF FVGs, filters tiny/weekend gaps, removes arrays that are invalidated by clean trades-through, and persists only the nearest PDA. This focuses attention on the institutional zone most likely to matter now.
CRT (directional gating). CRT on the same HTF establishes a provisional bias. No entries are implied; CRT simply permits or forbids the following steps. If CRT disagrees with the PDA context, the checklist remains incomplete.
Liquidity Sweep (event). The model tracks HTF-aware BSL/SSL pivots. A sweep only “counts” if it occurs in relation to the active PDA (tap/engagement). This prevents generic swing-high/low tags from triggering downstream logic.
CISD (confirmation). After a qualified sweep, the tool looks for displacement through the sequence open (the open of the impulsive leg beginning at or immediately after the sweep). Crossing that threshold confirms CISD, which marks a structural delivery shift consistent with the CRT bias.
EPE (refinement, optional). Immediately following CISD, the model scans for a fresh internal imbalance. If found quickly, it promotes that price area as the Easiest Point of Entry (EPE) and relabels the reference. If not, the CISD level remains primary.
Dynamic risk levels. TP/BE/SL are derived from the measured displacement around the CISD leg (e.g., BE ≈ 1× leg, TP ≈ 2.25× stretch; SL aligned to nearby structural extremes rather than a fixed pip offset). Levels update with structure and can display prices.
By chaining PDA → CRT → Sweep → CISD → (EPE) → Risk on a single HTF backbone, the tool creates a coherent workflow where later signals simply do not appear without earlier context. That’s why this is not a bundle of independent features: each module’s output is another module’s input.
Concepts & operational rules (high level)
HTF PD Arrays (FVGs)
Uses a standard three-candle gap definition on the chosen HTF, with filters for weekend/tiny gaps.
Inverse mitigation: if price trades cleanly through an array, the box is removed and internal state resets.
Nearest-PDA persistence: when multiple arrays exist, only the closest remains visible to reduce clutter.
Optional right-extension draws lingering influence X bars forward.
Candle Range Theory (CRT)
Bullish CRT: candle 2 wicks below candle 1’s low but closes back inside candle 1’s range, without taking its high.
Bearish CRT: candle 2 wicks above candle 1’s high but closes back inside candle 1’s range, without taking its low.
Role: bias validation paired to CISD when alignments match the active PDA.
Liquidity Sweeps (BSL/SSL)
Tracks candidate HTF pivots as buy-/sell-side liquidity.
A sweep registers when price takes a tracked pivot in the vicinity of the active PDA.
CISD (Change in State of Delivery)
Finds the sequence open for the impulsive leg that begins at/after the sweep.
Bearish path (after BSL sweep): CISD when close < sequence-open.
Bullish path (after SSL sweep): CISD when close > sequence-open.
On confirmation, the model plots a CISD line, checks the box in the Strategy Checklist, and triggers risk calc.
EPE (Easiest Point of Entry)
Within a short window after CISD, scans for a local imbalance; if present, promotes that level as EPE.
If no imbalance forms, CISD remains the operative reference.
Dynamic TP / BE / SL
Built from the measured leg around CISD (not fixed pip steps).
Approximate geometry: BE ≈ 1× leg, TP ≈ 2.25× leg; SL respects nearby structural extremes.
Labels and price markers are optional.
Architecture notes
Maps the current chart to a higher timeframe (e.g., 15s→M5, M1→M15, M5→H1, M15→H4, H1→D, H4→W, D→M).
Retrieves HTF OHLC/time with no lookahead so structures update intrabar until the HTF bar closes.
Periodic cleanup clears obsolete lines/labels/boxes to keep charts responsive.
Inputs (summary)
FVGs/PD Arrays: show/hide, colors, borders, label size, right-extension, nearest-only toggle.
CRT: enable/disable, label style.
Sweeps/CISD/EPE: enable/disable, line/label styles, EPE window.
Risk Levels (TP/BE/SL): enable each, price labels on/off, colors.
Tables/Checklist: strategy checklist on/off; relationships table (common HTF↔LTF pairings); text sizes and header colors.
Alerts (optional)
You may add alertconditions aligned with these events in your own workspace:
HTF PDA tap (bullish/bearish box)
CRT detected (bullish/bearish)
CISD confirmed (bullish/bearish)
EPE set/updated
Example messages:
“Prophet: CISD confirmed on {{ticker}} / {{interval}}”
“Prophet: EPE refined at {{close}} ({{time}})”
Notes & limitations
HTF values are provisional until the HTF bar closes; labels/levels can update while forming.
CISD/EPE are live conditions; they can form and later invalidate within the same HTF bar.
Liquidity relationships vary by market/regime; thin sessions and large gaps can affect clarity.
Educational tool only. No performance claims; no trade signals.
Originality & scope (for protected/invite-only publications)
A single HTF-synchronized engine sequences PDA → CRT → Sweep → CISD → (EPE) and withholds later steps unless prerequisites are met.
Nearest-PDA persistence and inverse-mitigation enforce focus on the most relevant institutional zone.
Displacement-based risk math ties TP/BE/SL to structure instead of static offsets.
Checklist + relationships table promote consistent, rules-first behavior and reduce discretionary drift.

TIME-SPLT ACADEMY INDICATOR# TIME-SPLT ACADEMY CISD + FVG + TSM FRACTALS - Comprehensive Market Structure Analysis Tool
## Overview
This indicator combines three essential market structure analysis components into a unified trading tool: Change in State Direction (CISD), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), and TSM Fractals. This integration provides traders with a complete framework for identifying market structure breaks, price imbalances, and key pivot levels on any timeframe.
## Component 1: CISD (Change in State Direction)
**What it is:** CISD identifies significant breaks in market structure by tracking when price decisively breaks above previous swing highs (bullish CISD) or below previous swing lows (bearish CISD). This concept is fundamental to understanding trend changes and continuation patterns.
**How it works:**
- Monitors swing highs and lows using customizable pivot periods
- Tracks when price closes above a previous swing high (bullish structure break)
- Tracks when price closes below a previous swing low (bearish structure break)
- Draws horizontal lines from the pivot point to the break point with "CISD" labels
- Works on multiple timeframes simultaneously
**Trading Applications:**
- Identifies trend changes and continuation signals
- Provides entry signals on structure breaks
- Helps determine market bias and direction
## Component 2: FVG (Fair Value Gaps)
**What it is:** Fair Value Gaps are price imbalances that occur when there's a gap between the high of one candle and the low of another candle two periods later, with the middle candle not filling this gap. These represent areas where price moved inefficiently and often return to "fill" the gap.
**How it works:**
- Analyzes 3-candle patterns to identify gaps
- Bearish FVG: Gap between low and high where price dropped leaving unfilled space above
- Bullish FVG: Gap between high and low where price rose leaving unfilled space below
- Tracks 8 different candle body combinations for each direction (up, down, doji patterns)
- Monitors gap mitigation when price returns to fill the imbalance
- Changes color when gaps are partially or fully mitigated
**Gap Detection Logic:**
- Bearish FVG patterns: DDD, DDJ, JDD, UDJ, JDU, UDD, DDU, UDU
- Bullish FVG patterns: DUD, DUJ, JUD, UUJ, JUU, UUD, DUU, UUU
- (D=Down candle, U=Up candle, J=Doji candle)
**Trading Applications:**
- High-probability reversal zones when price returns to FVGs
- Support and resistance levels
- Target areas for limit orders
- Risk management reference points
## Component 3: TSM Fractals
**What it is:** TSM Fractals identify significant pivot highs and lows using Williams Fractal methodology. These mark potential reversal points and key support/resistance levels.
**How it works:**
- Identifies fractal highs: peaks where the center candle's high is higher than surrounding candles
- Identifies fractal lows: valleys where the center candle's low is lower than surrounding candles
- Uses customizable lookback periods (default 15) for fractal identification
- Displays horizontal lines with "$" symbols at fractal levels
- Maintains a configurable number of recent fractals on the chart
**Trading Applications:**
- Key support and resistance levels
- Potential reversal zones
- Confluence with other analysis tools
- Stop loss placement reference points
## Why This Combination Works
**Synergistic Analysis:** Each component provides different but complementary information:
1. **CISD** shows when market structure changes, indicating trend shifts or continuation
2. **FVGs** reveal where price has moved inefficiently and may return for rebalancing
3. **Fractals** highlight key pivot points that often act as support/resistance
**Trading Edge:** The combination allows for:
- **Entry Confirmation:** Wait for CISD breaks near unfilled FVGs at fractal levels
- **Risk Management:** Use FVG boundaries and fractal levels for stop placement
- **Target Selection:** Project moves to opposite FVGs or fractal levels
- **Market Context:** Understand whether you're trading with or against structure
## Key Features
**Multi-Timeframe CISD:**
- Customizable timeframe settings (Minute, Hour, Day, Week, Month)
- Adjustable swing length for pivot identification
- Customizable line styles, widths, and colors
- Optional alerts on structure breaks
**Advanced FVG Management:**
- Automatic gap size filtering
- Real-time mitigation tracking
- Color-coded active vs. mitigated gaps
- Optional pip value labels
- Large gap alerts for significant imbalances
**Intelligent Fractal Display:**
- Configurable fractal periods
- Maximum fractal count management
- Clean visual presentation
- Historical fractal preservation
## Settings & Customization
**CISD Settings:**
- Timeframe selection and multipliers
- Swing length adjustment (default 7)
- Line styling options
- Color customization for bullish/bearish breaks
- Alert toggle options
**FVG Settings:**
- Show/hide toggles for each direction
- Minimum gap size filtering
- Alert threshold for large gaps
- Color schemes for active and mitigated gaps
- Optional size labels in pips
**Fractal Settings:**
- Fractal period adjustment (default 15)
- Maximum display count (default 10)
- Show/hide toggle
## Educational Value
This indicator teaches traders to:
- Understand market structure concepts
- Recognize price inefficiencies
- Identify key pivot points
- Combine multiple analysis methods
- Develop systematic trading approaches
## Use Cases
**Swing Trading:** Identify major structure breaks with FVG confluence
**Day Trading:** Use lower timeframe CISDs with intraday FVGs
**Scalping:** Quick entries at FVG mitigation near fractal levels
**Position Trading:** Higher timeframe structure analysis with major FVGs

Information Asymmetry Gradient (IAG) What is the Information Asymmetry Gradient (IAG)?
The Information Asymmetry Gradient (IAG) is a unique market regime and imbalance detector that quantifies the subtle, directional “information flow” in price and volume. Inspired by information theory and market microstructure, IAG is designed to help traders spot the early buildup of conviction or surprise—the kind of hidden imbalance that often precedes major price moves.
Unlike traditional volume or momentum indicators, IAG focuses on the efficiency and directionality of information transfer: how much “informational energy” is being revealed by up-moves versus down-moves, normalized by price movement. It’s not just about net flow, but about the quality and asymmetry of that flow.
Theoretical Foundation
Information Asymmetry: Markets move when new information is revealed. If one side (buyers or sellers) is consistently more “informationally efficient” per unit of price change, an imbalance is building—even if price hasn’t moved much yet.
Gradient: By tracking the rate of change (gradient) between fast and slow information flows, IAG highlights when a subtle imbalance is accelerating.
Volatility of Asymmetry: Sudden spikes in the volatility of information asymmetry often signal regime uncertainty or the approach of a “surprise” move.
How IAG Works
Directional Information Content: For each bar, IAG estimates the “information per unit of price change” for both up-moves and down-moves, using volume and price action.
Asymmetry Calculation: Computes the difference (or ratio) between up and down information content, revealing directional bias.
Gradient Detection: Calculates both a fast and slow EMA of the asymmetry, then measures their difference (the “gradient”), normalized as a Z-score.
Volatility of Asymmetry: Tracks the standard deviation of asymmetry over a rolling window, with Z-score normalization to spot “information shocks.”
Flow Strength: Quantifies the conviction of the current information flow on a 0–100 scale.
Regime Detection: Flags “extreme” asymmetry, “building” flow, and “high volatility” states.

IAG Bullish/Bearish Extreme: Directional extreme detected.
Originality & Usefulness
IAG is not a mashup of existing indicators. It is a novel approach to quantifying the “surprise” or “conviction” element in market moves, focusing on the efficiency and directionality of information transfer per unit of price change. The multi-layered color logic, artistic visual effects, and regime dashboard are unique to this script. IAG is designed for anticipation, not confirmation—helping you see subtle imbalances before they become obvious in price.

Market Core [BigBeluga]MARKET CORE Toolkit
The BigBeluga Market Core Toolkit is a comprehensive suite of advanced trading indicators designed to provide traders with a holistic view of market dynamics, structure, and potential opportunities.
In an ever-evolving market, relying on a single indicator can leave traders vulnerable to gaps in their analysis. The BigBeluga Market Core Toolkit addresses this challenge by integrating a range of complementary indicators that work synergistically to reveal the full picture. From detecting key support and resistance levels to identifying market structure shifts, volume imbalances, inefficiencies or analysis of money flow, this toolkit covers every aspect of market behavior.
⬤ Order Blocks
BigBeluga Order Blocks revolutionize the way traders visualize potential areas of significant market activity. Unlike traditional order block indicators that often result in cluttered, noisy charts, these Order Blocks are designed for clarity and effectiveness. They simulate and predict where large areas of market orders may rest by analyzing volume and volatility, providing excellent support or resistance areas.
The blocks offer cleaner chart presentation with reasonable distribution, volume ratio visualization within each block, and categorization into Strong, High and Balanced blocks.
Additionally, a third line has been introduced to rank order blocks by volume using a modified percent rank method for more precise ranking.
This ranking system uses percentile ranks, a concept commonly used in standardized tests. In the context of order blocks, the percentile rank of a particular order block's volume is interpreted as the percentage of the order blocks strength. This method provides a more nuanced and statistically robust way of comparing and prioritizing order blocks.
Key features:
Cleaner chart presentation with reasonable distribution of blocks
Volume ratio visualization within each block (bullish vs bearish)
Categorization into High and Balanced blocks for easy identification of significant levels
Relative volume percentage and volume delta display
Advanced ranking system using modified percent rank method for volume comparison
These Order Blocks help traders:
Forecast excellent support or resistance areas
Gain insight into the balance of the market at specific levels
Identify significant market levels at a glance
Visualize market imbalances through volume delta
Prioritize order blocks based on their relative volume importance
Make more informed decisions about potential entry and exit points
⬤ Beluga Profile
The Beluga Profile is a revolutionary market analysis tool that transforms complex market data into a clear, intuitive visual narrative. At its core, it combines a Dual-Profile Analysis, merging Delta Volume Profile with Money Flow Profile to give traders a comprehensive view of market dynamics.
The percentage scale on the left side aren't just numbers; they represent the Levels Strength Percentage, a crucial ranking system that immediately draws your attention to the most significant price zones. Complementing this, a heat map overlay brings these strength levels to life, offering an instant, color-coded representation of where the market's most influential areas lie.
To the right, a detailed breakdown of volume and money flow for each level provides the hard data behind the visual cues. This granular information allows you to dive deep into the market's structure, understanding not just where the significant levels are, but why they matter.
Below the main chart, the Delta Volume Bar serves as a foundation, showing the average delta of the volume profile. This bar is more than just a measure of volume – it's a window into the underlying forces driving price movement. Just above this bar, a macro trend indicator in the form of an arrow offers a quick, clear signal of the overall market direction based on these delta volume calculations.
But the Beluga Profile doesn't just show you what's happening – it helps you understand the 'why' and 'how'. The Adaptive Points of Interest feature allows you to customize your analysis, focusing on the areas that matter most to your trading strategy. You can select from various options including Money Flow, Delta+, Delta-, Volume+, and Level % (Highest), tailoring the display to your specific analytical needs. This flexibility ensures you can focus on the most relevant data for your trading style. Real-time Active Price Tracking ensures you're always in sync with the latest market movements.
All of these elements work in concert, creating a symphony of market information. They empower you to:
Spot key price levels with uncanny precision
Foresee potential market turns before they happen
Grasp the quality and strength of price moves
Adjust your strategy on the fly as market conditions shift
Develop a holistic understanding of market structure and participant behavior
Make informed decisions backed by a clear view of the overall market trend
In essence, the Beluga Profile isn't just a tool – it's your market storyteller, translating the complex language of price, volume, and money flow into a narrative that you can understand and act upon with confidence.
⬤ Smart Money Concepts (SMC)
The Smart Money Concepts component of the toolkit focuses on automatically detecting key market structures crucial in technical analysis. It identifies and visualizes Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHOCH) patterns, helping traders spot potential trend reversals and significant market movements. This includes BOS identification when price breaks previous support or resistance and CHOCH detection for potential trend reversals, with automatic detection of both bullish and bearish patterns.
The latest enhancement to this feature adds a new layer of analysis through Delta Volume Calculation. When a BOS or CHOCH is detected, the toolkit calculates the delta volume within the range from the high or low point to the break point. This analysis considers all the candles in this range and determines whether the volume is predominantly bullish, bearish, or neutral.
Bullish Volume: If the delta volume is bullish, a green diamond is plotted at the high or low point, indicating potential upward momentum.
Bearish Volume: If the delta volume is bearish, a red diamond is plotted, suggesting downward pressure.
Neutral Volume: When the volume is neutral, a yellow diamond is displayed, indicating a balance in buying and selling forces.
This visual representation of volume dynamics provides an additional layer of insight, helping traders assess the strength and direction of price movements following a structure break. You can see an example of this on the attached image, where the diamonds clearly indicate the type of volume driving the breakout.
The toolkit also incorporates Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection. Fair Value Gaps represent inefficiencies in the market, where there is an imbalance between buy and sell orders. These gaps often act as magnets for price, potentially leading to future reversals or continuations when filled. The toolkit identifies and highlights these gaps, allowing traders to recognize areas where the market may seek to rebalance.
Additionally, Double Top and Bottom Pattern Detection has been integrated, identifying potential reversal points at these classic price formations. Double tops signal potential bearish reversals after a price peak, while double bottoms suggest potential bullish reversals after a price dip. These patterns can be crucial indicators for traders looking to capitalize on upcoming trend changes.
Smart Money Concepts help traders:
Identify potential trend reversals early with a clearer view of market structure.
Recognize significant changes in market structure and volume participation.
Differentiate between temporary pullbacks and genuine trend changes using volume insights (color coded diamonds).
Shows Fair Value gaps which helps to identify price momentum and inefficiencies in the market.
This enhancement ensures that traders can not only see structural changes but also understand the volume behind those moves, leading to more informed and confident trading decisions.
⬤ Support and Resistance Levels
This powerful tool is designed to identify key price levels in the market, providing traders with a clear visual representation of potential support and resistance areas. It goes beyond simple level identification by incorporating a sophisticated ranking system and adjustable sensitivity.
The grading system of levels is a unique feature that evaluates the significance of high and low points in the price action. It takes into consideration how many times the price has touched or interacted with specific levels. This means that levels which have been tested multiple times are given higher importance in the ranking. For example, a price level that has acted as support or resistance three times will be ranked higher than a level that has only been touched once.
By leveraging this grading system, traders can focus on the most significant levels that have repeatedly influenced price action, potentially improving the accuracy of their trading decisions and risk management strategies.
This Support and Resistance Levels indicator helps traders:
Identify and prioritize potential reversal points based on their historical significance and frequency of price interaction
Set more accurate entry and exit points aligned with key market levels, focusing on those with higher ranking
Understand the hierarchical structure of market support and resistance, distinguishing between major and minor levels
Plan stop-loss and take-profit levels with greater precision, using the ranking to gauge the strength of each level
Adapt their analysis to varying market strengths and volatilities, with the ability to filter out less significant levels
Recognize recurring price patterns and potential breakout levels based on the ranked historical price interactions
⬤ How to Use the Toolkit
Each of these indicators, while powerful on its own, works synergistically with the others to provide a more complete picture of the market.
The strength of this toolkit lies in its ability to analyze the market from multiple perspectives
Combining these advanced trading indicators into a cohesive toolkit empowers traders with a comprehensive, multi-dimensional view of the market that no single indicator could provide on its own.
