FluidTrades - SMC Lite
Price action and supply and demand is a key strategy use in trading. We wanted it to be easy and efficient for user to identify these zones, so the user can focus less on marking up charts and focus more on executing trades.
This indicator shows you supply and demand zones by using pivot points to show you the recent highs and the recent lows.
Features
This indicator includes some features relevant to SMC , these are highlighted below:
Full internal & swing market structure labeling in real-time
Swing Structure: Displays the swing structure labels & solid lines on the chart (BOS).
Supply & demand ( bullish & bearish )
Swing Points: Displays swing points labels on chart such as HH, HL, LH, LL.
Options to style the indicator to more easily display these concepts
White OB (supply): search for short opportunities
Blue OB (demand): search for long opportunities
Break of structure ( BOS )
For markets to move up and down a break in market structure must occur. A break in market structure occurs when the market begins to shift direction and break the previous HH and HL or HL and LL of the market. We also integrated the feature that you can see the BOS lines. In the indicator settings you can adjust the color of the label.
Settings
SwingHigh/Low Length: Allows the user to select Historical (default) or Present, which displays only recent data on the chart.
Supply/demand box width: Allows user to change the size of the supply and demand box
History to keep: allows the user to select how many most recent supply & demand box appear on the chart.
Visual settings
Show zig zag : allow user to see market patters within the market
Show price action labels: allow user to turn on/off the (swing points)
Supply box color : allow users to change the color of their supply box
Demand box color : allow users to change the color of their supply box
Bos label color : allow users to change the color of their BOS label
Poi label color : allow user to change the color of their POI label
Price action label : allow users to change the color of their swing points labels
Zig zag color : allow users to change the color of the zig/zag market patters
Warning
Never blindly take a trade on a supply/demand box - wait for a proper market structure to occur before considering a trade.

White Crow**White Crow — cluster reversal signals + market structure**
> Indicator that helps you read market structure (pivots, trend, last extremes) and spot potential reversals through CCI/RSI signal clusters. This is *not* a standalone trading system and does not guarantee any result — it is a tool for filtering and confirming your own market ideas.
---
## 1. Concept
White Crow combines three core blocks:
1. **Pivots & market structure**
Automatically detects **local tops/bottoms** and derives a *Bullish / Bearish / Sideways* bias from them.
In the top-right corner you see a compact panel with current trend and **Last Bottom / Last Top** prices.
2. **Momentum & overbought/oversold zones**
Inside, the indicator uses:
* **CCI** with fixed levels `+100 / -100`;
* an optional **RSI filter** with overbought/oversold levels (`80 / 20`).
These generate basic *Buy / Close* signals.
3. **Cluster signals Buy X / CloseV**
The script tracks **clusters of signals inside a 4-bar window** and highlights rarer, “amplified” events:
* **Buy X** — cluster buy signal (multiple buy conditions in a row);
* **CloseV** — cluster signal for exit/reversal.
**Buy X and CloseV are the strongest and most reliable signals in this indicator** because they are based on repeated conditions rather than a single bar. They work **best on higher timeframes (1H–4H)**, where they reflect meaningful shifts in order flow instead of noise.
> ⚠️ Important: Buy X and CloseV are *only signals*. They must be used as **one of several confirmation factors** for your own view of market structure (support/resistance, trend, price action, volume, etc.), not as standalone reasons to enter or exit trades.
---
## 2. How it works
### 2.1. Pivots and trend detection
* The indicator builds a **zigzag-like structure**:
after a local high, once price retraces down by a given percentage (`pivotSigma`), a **Top** is marked;
after a local low, once price retraces up by the same percentage, a **Bottom** is marked.
* Using the sequence of recent tops and bottoms, the script determines the trend:
* *Bullish* — the last low is higher than the previous one (HL);
* *Bearish* — the last high is lower than the previous one (LH);
* otherwise — *Sideways*.
* The info table shows:
* **Market Trend** — Bullish / Bearish / Sideways;
* **Last Bottom / Last Top** with adaptive decimal precision (works for crypto, FX, stocks, etc.).
### 2.2. Base Buy / Close signals
* **Long condition (Buy):**
* `CCI < -100` (oversold),
* if RSI filter is enabled — `RSI < 20`.
* **Short/Exit condition (Close):**
* `CCI > +100` (overbought),
* if RSI filter is enabled — `RSI > 80`.
These conditions generate the regular **Buy** and **Close** labels on the chart.
### 2.3. Clusters: Buy X and CloseV
To reduce noise, the indicator evaluates not only the current bar, but also the **last 4 bars**:
* `buy_count` — how many times the long condition was true within the last 4 bars;
* `sell_count` — how many times the short condition was true within the last 4 bars.
Then:
* **Buy X** appears when:
* `buy_count ≥ 2` (conditions for Buy were met on at least 2 of the last 4 bars),
* the time filter between two Buy X signals is satisfied (`Min Bars Between Signals`).
* **CloseV** appears when:
* `sell_count ≥ 2`,
* the required number of bars has passed since the previous CloseV.
> ✅ This is why **Buy X / CloseV are stronger and more trustworthy than single Buy/Close signals**, especially on **1H–4H** timeframes: the market confirms the same overbought/oversold condition several times in a row.
### 2.4. Order Blocks
* When `Show Order Blocks` is enabled, the indicator highlights **impulsive candles** whose body exceeds a threshold based on ATR.
* Colored rectangles mark **potential order blocks** (areas where strong buying or selling previously occurred).
## 3. Inputs and customization
Inputs are grouped in TradingView-friendly categories.
### 3.1. Pivot Settings
* `Show Pivots` — enable/disable **Top / Bottom** markers.
* `Sigma (% retracement)` — pivot sensitivity (minimum retracement in % required to confirm a pivot).
* Colors for Top/Bottom — for visual tuning.
**Tip:**
On H1–H4 you can keep near-default values.
On lower timeframes, reduce `Sigma` if you want more detailed local structure.
### 3.2. CCI / RSI Settings
* `CCI Period` — CCI length (short by default for faster reaction).
* `Enable RSI Filter` / `RSI Period` — toggle and length for RSI filter.
* RSI levels are fixed at **20 / 80** to mark strong oversold/overbought zones.
**Usage:**
* For more conservative entries — keep the RSI filter enabled.
* For more frequent signals (e.g. scalping) — you can disable the RSI filter.
### 3.3. Order Blocks
* `Show Order Blocks` — display order block zones.
* `Block Threshold (ATR multiplier)` — how large a candle must be (vs ATR) to be considered significant.
### 3.4. Signals & Filters
* `Show Buy / Show Buy X / Show Close / Show CloseV` — choose which labels you want to see.
* `Enable Time Filter` — enable minimum spacing between amplified signals.
* `Min Bars Between Signals` — how many bars must pass between two Buy X or two CloseV signals.
**Tip:**
If you see too many amplified signals, increase `Min Bars Between Signals`.
If you want more activity, decrease it.
### 3.5. Alerts
* `Buy Alerts / Buy X Alerts / Close Alerts / CloseV Alerts` — choose which signal types should trigger alerts.
* `One Alert Per Bar` — when enabled, alerts are triggered only once per bar (recommended for H1–H4).
Alerts are generated via `alert()`, with messages that include signal type, ticker, timeframe and current price.
---
## 4. How to trade with White Crow
### 4.1. Recommended timeframes
* 📌 **Main focus: 1H–4H.**
On these timeframes:
* pivots and trend are more stable;
* CCI/RSI reflect meaningful swings;
* **Buy X / CloseV clusters** filter out a lot of intrabar noise.
You can still experiment on M1–M15, but expect more signals and more sensitivity to noise.
### 4.2. Reading the signals step by step
1. **Start with context**
* Look at **Market Trend / Last Bottom / Last Top** in the info panel.
* See where price is relative to these points: near resistance, near support, inside a range, etc.
2. **Identify zones of interest**
* Use pivots and order blocks as potential support/resistance areas.
* Wait for price to approach these zones.
3. **Watch the signals**
* **Buy** — early sign of local oversold conditions.
* **Buy X** — amplified cluster signal; more weight than a single Buy.
* **Close** — early warning of potential exhaustion in the current move.
* **CloseV** — amplified cluster exit/reversal signal.
4. **Practical approach**
* In a *Bullish* trend:
* focus on **Buy / Buy X** near bottoms and demand blocks;
* use **Close / CloseV** for partial profit-taking or tightening stops.
* In a *Bearish* trend:
* focus on **Close / CloseV** near tops and supply blocks;
* use **Buy / Buy X** mainly for countertrend scalps with strict risk control.
---
## 5. Important notes and disclaimer
1. **Buy X / CloseV are stronger — but not “magic” signals.**
They are statistically more meaningful than single Buy/Close signals because:
* they require multiple confirmations within a cluster;
* they are time-filtered.
However, **false signals are still possible**, especially in news spikes and low-liquidity conditions.
2. **Best performance on higher timeframes (1H–4H).**
Here, Buy X and CloseV usually reflect genuine shifts in supply/demand rather than micro noise.
3. **This is a confirmation tool, not a complete system.**
Pro Trading White Crow:
* does not manage risk;
* does not define position size or stop-loss;
* does not replace your own analysis.
Always use its signals as **one of several confluence factors** together with structure, trend, price action, volume, and your trading plan.
4. **Educational purpose only.**
This script and description are for educational and analytical purposes only.
They **do not constitute investment advice or a guarantee of profit**.
You are fully responsible for all trading decisions and risk management.

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

HH HL LH LL + BOS / CHoCHHH HL LH LL + BOS / CHoCH Structure Indicator (ATR Adaptive)
This indicator provides a complete market structure framework using swing-based pivots, real-time trend detection, BOS (Break of Structure), CHoCH (Change of Character), and optional ATR-adaptive swing sensitivity.
🔹 Core Features
1. Market Structure Labels
The script detects and labels:
HH – Higher High
LH – Lower High
HL – Higher Low
LL – Lower Low
These labels help visualize trend continuation or weakness in structure.
Each label type can be individually toggled ON/OFF in settings.
2. ATR-Based Adaptive Swing Length (Optional)
Swing pivots can be calculated using:
A fixed manual swing length, or
A dynamic ATR-based swing length that adjusts automatically to volatility.
Increasing volatility → longer swings
Decreasing volatility → tighter swings
This makes structure detection more stable and timeframe-adaptive.
3. Close-Based Break of Structure (BOS)
The indicator identifies a BOS when:
Price closes above the previous swing high (Bullish BOS↑)
Price closes below the previous swing low (Bearish BOS↓)
BOS labels can be turned ON/OFF without affecting internal calculations.
4. CHoCH (Change of Character)
CHoCH is triggered when a BOS occurs against the current trend, indicating a potential trend reversal:
CHoCH↑ – Bearish → Bullish reversal
CHoCH↓ – Bullish → Bearish reversal
CHoCH remains active even when BOS labels are turned off.
5. Alerts
The indicator provides alert conditions for:
CHoCH↑ (Bullish Trend Shift)
CHoCH↓ (Bearish Trend Shift)
This allows traders to automate notifications for significant trend changes.
6. Trend State Tracking
The script internally tracks the current structure-based trend:
Uptrend
Downtrend
Undefined
The trend updates dynamically based on real BOS events.
7. Fully Backwards Compatible
The indicator generates structure, BOS, and CHoCH even when scrolling back deep in chart history, thanks to extended max_bars_back handling.
Summary
This tool provides a complete, flexible, and non-repainting framework for market structure analysis, suitable for:
SMC/ICT traders
Swing & intraday traders
Trend traders
Price action analysts
With adaptive swing detection, clean structure labeling, BOS/CHoCH logic, and alert integration, the indicator helps traders understand market transitions with clarity and precision.
Market Trend & Breadth Checklist [Kulturdesken]Description
Concept & Inspiration This indicator serves as a disciplined "Pre-Flight Checklist" for swing traders, combining two powerful methodologies into one objective dashboard.
The Foundation (@kulturdesken): The core checklist structure is inspired by the workflow of @kulturdesken, utilizing the QQQE (Nasdaq 100 Equal Weighted Index). By focusing on the equal-weighted index rather than the market-cap weighted QQQ, we avoid distortions caused by mega-cap stocks and gauge the true price trend of the average stock.
The Enhancement (StockBee): To further filter out "hollow rallies," we integrated Pradeep Bonde’s (StockBee) "Market Monitor" logic. This adds a layer of analysis based on the Total US Universe (Wilshire 5000) to ensure market breadth is expanding, not just price.
Why StockBee Logic Was Added While QQQE tells us if the average price is trending, the StockBee logic tells us if the market structure is healthy. We added the "Universe" checks (Total US Market Breadth) because price trends can sometimes be deceptive during low-volume corrections.
By incorporating the Market Monitor concept (specifically checking if the % of stocks above their 50-day Moving Average is rising), this tool acts as a "Traffic Light." It prevents the trader from entering aggressive long positions even if QQQE is green, provided the underlying participation (Market Breadth) is weak.
How It Works (The 7 Checks)
1. Price Momentum (Kulturdesken): QQQE > Rising 5 SMA
Verifies short-term momentum is aggressive (Price > 5SMA) and the 5SMA itself is curling up.
2. Daily Trend Structure: Daily Buy Signal
Verifies a "stacked" bullish alignment where Price > 10 SMA > 20 SMA.
3. Macro Trend: Weekly Buy Signal
Verifies the Weekly Price > 10 WMA > 20 WMA (Weighted Moving Averages).
4. Universe Breadth (StockBee/McClellan): Summation Uptrend
We aggregate Nasdaq + NYSE data to create a "Total Universe" McClellan Summation Index.
Check: Is the Summation Index rising? (Indicates long-term money flow entering the system).
5. Short-Term Thrust: Oscillator Positive
Uses the "Total Universe" McClellan Oscillator.
Check: Is the Oscillator > 0? (Indicates immediate buying pressure is dominant).
6. Leadership: Net Highs/Lows
Check: Are Net New Highs (Highs minus Lows) trending positive?
7. Performance Filter (Manual): Traction Check
A psychological guardrail. If you toggle this off in settings (indicating you are losing money/getting stopped out), the checklist forces a "WAIT" signal, protecting you from overtrading during choppy conditions.
Settings & Customization
Data Feeds: The script is pre-configured with USI (United States Indices) and INDEX tickers to ensure accurate breadth data, but these can be customized in the settings.
Main Ticker: Defaults to QQQE.

FTPM – Institutional Trend Pressure Suite @darshaksscThis indicator provides an informational view of market trend pressure using fractal-based momentum events, smoothed pressure calculations, higher timeframe confirmation, and divergence analysis. It does not produce buy or sell signals. Instead, it presents market context to help traders interpret trend conditions in a structured and data-driven way.
The indicator includes the following components:
1). Non-repainting Trend Pressure Engine
The pressure line is derived from confirmed fractal events, body-to-range ratios, displacement strength, and a controlled decay factor. The value is normalized to a 0 to 100 scale. A rising pressure value suggests increasing trend strength, while a declining value indicates weakening strength. This is informational only.
2). Pressure Shifts
The tool highlights transitions where pressure crosses above or below key thresholds. These labels do not represent entries or exits, but simply indicate contextual changes in momentum.
3). Higher Timeframe Pressure Confirmation
Users can compare current timeframe pressure to a selected higher timeframe. When both pressures align in similar regions, it may indicate agreement in broader market structure. This feature is informational only and does not generate trading signals.
4). Divergence Detection
Identifies confirmed bullish or bearish divergences between price pivots and pressure pivots. Divergences are simply analytical tools and should not be interpreted as actionable trading signals.
5). Institutional Dashboard
A multi-line dashboard summarizes current pressure, regime classification, higher timeframe regime, pressure direction, divergence status, and alignment conditions. The dashboard is informational only. No part of the dashboard should be interpreted as a trade instruction.
6). Dashboard Size Selector
Users may switch between Full, Medium, or Thin dashboard layouts to match their screen preferences. This affects only display, not indicator logic.
Important Notes
This indicator does not forecast future price movement.
It does not generate buy, sell, long, or short signals.
It does not guarantee profitable outcomes.
It is intended purely for visual analysis and market context.
All information is derived from confirmed historical data.
No part of this script is designed to automate trading decisions.
This tool is suitable for traders who want a clear, non-repainting visualization of pressure conditions and structural behavior without violating TradingView House Rules.
======================================================================
HOW TO USE
The indicator helps traders observe whether pressure is increasing or decreasing, whether higher timeframe conditions agree with the current chart, and whether divergences are present. All outputs are informational and should be combined with the user's preferred strategy or manual analysis. The indicator is not intended to signal trades or provide recommendations.
======================================================================
DISCLAIMERS
This indicator is for educational and informational purposes only.
It does not constitute financial advice.
It does not provide buy, sell, long, or short signals.
It does not predict future price movement.
Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Trendshift [CHE] StrategyTrendshift Strategy — First-Shift Structural Regime Trading
Profitfactor 2,603
Summary
Trendshift Strategy implements a structural regime-shift trading model built around the earliest confirmed change in directional structure. It identifies major swing highs and lows, validates breakouts through optional ATR-based conviction, and reacts only to the first confirmed shift in each direction. After a regime reversal, the strategy constructs a premium and discount band between the breakout candle and the previous opposite swing. This band is used as contextual bias and may optionally inform stop placement and position sizing.
The strategy focuses on clear, interpretable structural events rather than continuous signal generation. By limiting entries to the first valid shift, it reduces false recycles and allows the structural state to stabilize before a new trade occurs. All signals operate on closed-bar logic, and the strategy avoids higher-timeframe calls to stabilize execution behavior.
Motivation: Why this design?
Many structure-based systems repeatedly trigger as price fluctuates around prior highs and lows. This often leads to multiple flips during volatile or choppy conditions. Trendshift Strategy addresses this problem by restricting execution to the first confirmed structural event in each direction. ATR-based filters help differentiate genuine structural breaks from noise, while the contextual band ensures that the breakout is meaningful in relation to recent volatility.
The design aims to represent a minimalistic structural trading framework focused on regime turns rather than continuous trend signaling. This reduces chart noise and clarifies where the market transitions from one regime to another.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline reference
Typical swing-based structure indicators report every break above or below recent swing points.
Architecture differences
First-shift-only regime logic that blocks repeated signals until direction reverses
ATR-filtered validation to avoid weak or momentum-less breaks
Premium and discount bands derived from breakout structure
Optional band-driven stop placement
Optional band-dependent position-sizing factor
Regime timeout system to neutralize structure after extended inactivity
Persistent-state architecture to prevent re-triggering
Practical effect
Only the earliest actionable structure change is traded
Fewer but higher-quality signals
Premium/discount tint assists contextual evaluation
Stops and sizing can be aligned with structural context rather than arbitrary volatility measures
Improved chart interpretability due to reduced marker frequency
How it works (technical)
The algorithm evaluates symmetric swing points using a fixed bar window. When a swing forms, its value and bar index are stored as persistent state. A structural shift occurs when price closes beyond the most recent major swing on the opposite side. If ATR filtering is enabled, the breakout must exceed a volatility-scaled distance to prevent micro-breaks from firing.
Once a valid shift is confirmed, the regime is updated to bullish or bearish. The script records the breakout level, the opposite swing, and derives a band between them. This band is checked for minimum size relative to ATR to avoid unrealistic contexts.
The first shift in a new direction generates both the strategy entry and a visual marker. Additional shifts in the same direction are suppressed until a reversal occurs. If a timeout is enabled, the regime resets after a specified number of bars without structural change, optionally clearing the band.
Stop placement, if enabled, uses either the opposite or same band edge depending on configuration. Position size is computed from account percentage and may optionally scale with the price-span-to-ATR relationship.
Parameter Guide
Market Structure
Swing length (default 5): Controls swing sensitivity. Lower values increase responsiveness.
Use ATR filter (default true): Requires breakouts to show momentum relative to ATR. Reduces false shifts.
ATR length (default 14): Volatility estimation for breakout and band validation.
Break ATR multiplier (default 1.0): Required breakout strength relative to ATR.
Premium/Discount Framework
Enable framework (default true): Activates premium/discount evaluation.
Persist band on timeout (default true): Keeps structural band after timeout.
Min band ATR mult (default 0.5): Rejects narrow bands.
Regime timeout bars (default 500): Neutralizes regime after inactivity.
Invert colors (default false): Color scheme toggle.
Visuals
Show zone tint (default true): Background shade in premium or discount region.
Show shift markers (default true): Display first-shift markers.
Execution and Risk
Risk per trade percent (default 1.0): Determines position size as account percentage.
Use band for size (default false): Scales size relative to band width behavior.
Flat on opposite shift (default true): Forces reversal behavior.
Use stop at band (default false): Stop anchored to band edges.
Stop band side: Chooses which band edge is used for stop generation.
Reading & Interpretation
A green background indicates discount conditions within the structural band; red indicates premium conditions. A green triangle below price marks the first bullish structural shift after a bearish regime. A red triangle above price marks the first bearish structural shift after a bullish regime.
When stops are active, the opposite band edge typically defines the protective level. Band width relative to ATR indicates how significant a structural change is: wider bands imply stronger volatility structure, while narrow bands may be suppressed by the minimum-size filter.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Use first-shift entries as initial regime confirmation. Add higher-timeframe trend filters for additional context.
Swing trading: Combine with simple liquidity or fair-value-gap concepts to refine entries.
Bias mapping: Use higher timeframes for structural regime and lower timeframes for execution within the premium/discount context.
Exit management: When using stops, consider ATR-scaling or multi-stage profit targets. When not using stops, reversals become the primary exit.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
The strategy uses only confirmed swings and closed-bar logic, avoiding intrabar repaint. Pivot-based swings inherently appear after the pivot window completes, which is standard behavior. No higher-timeframe calls are used, preventing HTF-related repaint issues.
Persistent variables track regime and structural levels, minimizing recomputation. The maximum bars back setting is five-thousand. The design avoids loops and arrays, keeping performance stable.
Known limitations include limited signal density during consolidations, delayed swing confirmation, and sensitivity to extreme gaps that stretch band logic. ATR filtering mitigates some of these effects but does not eliminate them entirely.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Fewer but stronger entries: Increase swing length or ATR breakout multiplier.
More responsive entries: Reduce swing length to capture earlier shifts.
More active band behavior: Lower the minimum band ATR threshold.
Stricter stop logic: Use the opposite band edge for stop placement.
Volatile markets: Increase ATR length slightly to stabilize behavior.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
Trendshift Strategy is a structural-regime trading engine that evaluates major directional shifts. It is not a complete trading system and does not include take-profit logic or prediction features. It does not attempt to forecast future price movement and should be used alongside broader market structure, volatility context, and disciplined risk management.

Elite S&D [By:CienF]Elite Supply & Demand
Description
Elite Supply & Demand is not just another zone indicator; it is a complete institutional trading system designed to identify high-probability imbalances in the market. Unlike standard indicators that flood the chart with weak zones, this script applies rigorous Price Action rules to filter, score, and validate only the most significant areas of interest.
The core philosophy of this tool is "Anormality". Institutional activity leaves a footprint in the form of explosive volatility relative to the recent context. This indicator detects these footprints, measures their intensity, and validates them against market structure.
Key Features
🔥 Dynamic Quality Scoring (The "Elite" Feature) The indicator doesn't just draw boxes; it rates them. It calculates a Volumetric Ratio comparing the explosive move against the historical average at the moment of creation.
Contextual Intelligence: It continues to track the initial move. If the momentum continues after a small pause, the score updates in real-time.
Visual Grades:
🔥 Fire: High Anormality (Institutional Imbalance).
⚡ Lightning: Moderate Anormality (Decent strength).
No Icon: Standard move.
🏗️ Advanced Structure Validation Includes a unique "Eventual Break" filter.
Latent Zones: You can choose to hide zones that haven't broken structure yet.
Auto-Validation: The zone remains invisible/transparent until price breaks a recent High/Low or Fractal Pivot. Once the break occurs, the zone "activates" on your chart.
🧠 Smart Mitigation Logic
No Zombie Zones: Once a zone is mitigated (touched), it is strictly processed. It can either turn gray (History Mode) or be removed instantly.
Priority Handling: Mitigated zones are never re-colored or re-validated, keeping your chart clean and accurate.
🚀 Performance Optimization
Date Lookback: Includes a "Days Back" filter to prevent the script from calculating thousands of historical candles, ensuring smooth performance even on lower timeframes (1m, 5m).
🔔 Integrated Alerts
Creation: Get notified immediately when a potential zone forms.
Validation: Get notified specifically when a latent zone breaks structure and becomes active.
How It Works ( The Logic)
Phase 1: The Base (Indecision): Identifies candles with small bodies (≤ 50% of range) representing equilibrium/accumulation.
Phase 2: The Explosion (Imbalance): Looks for a strong breakout candle (≥ 60% body) that moves away from the base.
Phase 3: The Follow-up: Verifies that the move continues. It allows for "Smart Pauses" (single indecision candles) within the trend but invalidates the zone if a reversal occurs immediately.
Phase 4: Structure Check: Verifies if the move broke the Recent Range (High/Low) or Fractal Pivots.
Settings & Configuration
1. Base & Exit Rules
Max % Body: Threshold to define an indecision candle (Default: 50%).
Explosive Min: Minimum strength required for the exit candle.
2. Structure Validation
Structure Type: Choose between Recent Range (more fluid) or Fractal Pivots (stricter).
Filter Eventual Break: Highly Recommended. If checked, zones appear only after they prove their strength by breaking structure.
3. Scoring (Quality)
High Quality Ratio: The multiplier required to earn the 🔥 icon (e.g., 2.0x larger than average).
Allow Pause: Allows the algorithm to capture larger moves even if there is a single small candle in the middle of the explosive leg.
4. Performance
Days Back: Limits how far back the indicator draws. Reduce this number on low timeframes to speed up loading.
Usage Recommendations
For Trend Trading: Look for "Follow-up" zones. If you see a 🔥 zone forming in the direction of the higher timeframe trend, it is a high-probability entry.
For Reversals: Use the "Filter Eventual Break" feature. Wait for the indicator to reveal a zone that has broken a major structure point.
Stop Loss Placement: The indicator draws the zone covering the entire "Base" (wicks included). A safe stop is typically just beyond the distal line (33% recommended) of the box.
🔔 How to Set Up Alerts
Since this indicator uses the dynamic alert() function to send detailed messages (Entry Price, Stop Zone, Type), you must configure it correctly:
Add the indicator to your chart and adjust the settings to your preference.
Click the "Create Alert" button (Clock Icon) on the right toolbar or press Alt + A.
Condition: Select "Elite S&D " from the dropdown menu.
Trigger (CRITICAL): You must select "Any alert() function call".
Note: Do not select "Crossing" or other standard conditions, or the alerts will not trigger.
Expiration: Select "Open-ended" (if you have a Premium plan) or set a future date.
Alert Actions: Choose where you want to receive the alert (Notify on App, Show Popup, Send Email, etc.).
Message: You can leave this default. The script automatically generates a detailed message with the Ticker, Timeframe, Zone Type, and Coordinates.
Click Create.

Liquidity Hunter Pro v11.9 — TQI EditionLiquidity Hunter Pro v12 is built for intraday traders who want structure, clarity, and precision without unnecessary clutter. The tool blends market structure, momentum, trend alignment, volatility regime analysis, and liquidity mapping into a single unified model.
This version focuses on three core goals:
1. Identify only high-quality, directional market conditions.
The engine filters through HTF bias, short-term structure shifts, RSI momentum, and volatility compression/expansion. The idea is simple: wait for the market to become clean, aligned, and directional before considering an entry.
2. Map liquidity and detect sweeps in real time.
Major highs and lows are tracked using extended pivots, and the system highlights key areas where stop hunts or sweeps may occur. Sweeps and pressure zones are evaluated and factored directly into the quality score.
3. Grade every potential setup with a single, objective metric (TQI).
The Trade Quality Index (0–5⭐) compresses all signals into one reading so the trader can quickly judge whether a setup has enough quality to act on.
The script includes:
• Trend + Momentum + Structure detection
• HTF bias (optional)
• Volatility regime analysis
• Liquidity sweeps + pressure zones
• Micro-confirmation engine
• PQI (0–100%)
• TQI (0–5⭐)
• Clean HUD and Driver’s Guide
• Auto-cleaning labels and signal management
• Optional session filtering (London/NY)
This tool is designed for traders who value confirmation over noise.
It will not fire constantly.
It will wait patiently for clean, directional, aligned markets — and only then issue a signal.
How to Use Liquidity Hunter Pro v12
1. Check the HUD (top-right by default)
The HUD is your dashboard. Before doing anything:
A. HTF Bias
This is your map. Only trade in the direction of the bias.
B. Trend / Momentum / Structure
These should ideally all match the direction of the bias.
If they don’t line up → wait. No alignment = low probability.
C. Liquidity + Volatility Regime
“Sweep ↑→↓” or “Sweep ↓→↑” = potential reversal points
“Expansion” = clean conditions
“Compression” = choppy, avoid
You don’t need to overthink any of this — just think:
“Are the ingredients lined up?”
2. Wait for a valid signal
The indicator will only trigger a BUY or SELL when:
✓ HTF bias aligns
✓ Trend & momentum align
✓ Structure supports the move
✓ Micro-confirmation kicks in
✓ PQI ≥ 75
✓ Sessions are open (optional)
Signals are rare on purpose.
When one prints, you know the market conditions are stacked.
3. Read the label
Each signal prints a small block next to the candle containing:
• Entry price
• SL (based on structure)
• TP(2R) suggestion
• Liquidity context (e.g., sweep or pressure)
• Volatility regime
• TQI ⭐ rating (0–5)
This helps you judge the setup instantly.
A simple rule for beginners:
Trade only if TQI ≥ ⭐⭐⭐
Lower than that = more noise, less edge.
4. Use the liquidity zones
The script plots subtle boxes at recent liquidity highs/lows.
These mark:
• Where the market may hunt stops
• Where reversals often start
• Where signals are more meaningful
When a signal happens near liquidity → higher quality.
5. Follow the session filter (optional but recommended)
By default the tool focuses on:
• London session
• New York session
That removes 70% of low-volatility garbage.
You can turn this off if you trade crypto or indices overnight, but beginners usually benefit from keeping it on.
Recommended Settings
These are the settings used by most testers and early users.
Everything is configurable, but start with this:
Core Settings
• Fast EMA: 21
• Slow EMA: 55
• RSI Length: 14
• Pivot Lookback: 2
These settings create balanced structure detection and smooth trend signals.
HTF Bias
• Use HTF Bias: ON
• HTF Timeframe: 240 (H4)
H4 bias keeps you out of counter-trend traps.
Sessions
• Use London/NY Filter: ON
• London: 08:00–17:00
• New York: 13:30–21:00
Perfect for FX, indices, and metals.
Crypto traders: turn sessions OFF.
HUD + Guide
• HUD: ON
• Guide: ON
• Linger Bars: 12
This keeps things readable and prevents clutter.
Trading Tips for Beginners
These help keep you out of trouble:
1. Don’t fade the bias.
If HTF says bearish → avoid buys.
2. Don’t trade in compression regimes.
It saves you from chop.
3. Don’t chase signals that fire far from structure.
If the signal candle is huge, let it go.
4. Don’t trade without at least ⭐⭐⭐.
You’ll thank yourself later.
Final Thoughts
Liquidity Hunter Pro v12 isn’t meant to spam signals.
It’s meant to filter hard, highlight clean conditions, and help new traders avoid the traps the market throws every day.
Treat it as a trading assistant that tells you:
“The environment is right. Now you decide.”
Smart VWAP FVG SystemSmart VWAP FVG System - Professional Multi-Filter Trading Indicator
📊 OVERVIEW
The Smart VWAP FVG System is an advanced multi-layered trading indicator that combines institutional volume analysis, multi-timeframe VWAP trend confirmation, and Fair Value Gap detection to identify high-probability trade entries. This indicator uses a sophisticated filtering mechanism where signals appear only when multiple independent confirmation criteria align simultaneously.
Recommended Timeframe: 5-minute (M5) or higher. The indicator works best on M5, M15, and M30 charts for intraday trading.
🎯 ORIGINALITY & PURPOSE
This indicator is original because it combines three distinct analytical methods into a unified decision-making system:
Market Profile Volume Analysis - Identifies institutional accumulation/distribution zones
Dual VWAP Filtering - Confirms trend direction using two independent VWAP calculations
Fair Value Gap Detection - Validates institutional interest through price inefficiency zones
The key innovation is the directional filter system: the primary Market Profile generates BUY-ONLY or SELL-ONLY states based on higher timeframe value area reversals, which then controls which signals from the main system are displayed. This creates a multi-timeframe confluence that significantly reduces false signals.
Unlike simple indicator mashups, each component serves a specific purpose:
Market Profile → Direction bias (trend filter)
Primary VWAP (Session) → Short-term trend confirmation
Secondary VWAP (Week) → Medium-term trend confirmation
FVG Detection → Institutional activity validation
🔧 HOW IT WORKS
1. Primary Market Profile Filter (Higher Timeframe)
The indicator calculates Market Profile on a higher timeframe (default: 1 hour) to determine the overall market structure:
Value Area High (VAH): Top 70% of volume distribution
Value Area Low (VAL): Bottom 70% of volume distribution
Point of Control (POC): Price level with highest volume
When price reaches VAH and reverses down → SELL-ONLY mode activated
When price reaches VAL and reverses up → BUY-ONLY mode activated
This higher timeframe filter ensures you're trading in the direction of institutional flow.
2. Dual VWAP System
Two independent VWAP calculations provide multi-timeframe trend confirmation:
Primary VWAP (Session-based): Resets daily, tracks intraday momentum
Secondary VWAP (Week-based): Resets weekly, confirms longer-term trend
Filter Logic:
BUY signals require: Price > Primary VWAP AND Price > Secondary VWAP
SELL signals require: Price < Primary VWAP AND Price < Secondary VWAP
This dual confirmation prevents counter-trend trades during ranging conditions.
3. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection
FVG zones identify price inefficiencies where institutional orders were executed rapidly:
Bullish FVG: Gap between candle .high and candle .low (upward imbalance)
Bearish FVG: Gap between candle .high and candle .low (downward imbalance)
The indicator monitors recent FVG formation (lookback: 50 bars) and requires:
Bullish FVG present for BUY signals
Bearish FVG present for SELL signals
FVG zones are displayed as colored boxes and automatically marked as "mitigated" when price fills the gap.
4. Main Trading Signal Logic
The secondary Market Profile (default: 1 hour) generates the actual trading signals:
BUY Signal Conditions:
Price reaches Value Area Low
Reversal pattern confirmed (minimum 1 bar)
Price > Primary VWAP
Price > Secondary VWAP (if filter enabled)
Recent Bullish FVG detected (if filter enabled)
Primary MP Filter = BUY-ONLY or NEUTRAL
SELL Signal Conditions:
Price reaches Value Area High
Reversal pattern confirmed (minimum 1 bar)
Price < Primary VWAP
Price < Secondary VWAP (if filter enabled)
Recent Bearish FVG detected (if filter enabled)
Primary MP Filter = SELL-ONLY or NEUTRAL
All conditions must be TRUE simultaneously for a signal to appear.

⚠️ IMPORTANT WARNINGS & LIMITATIONS
1. Repainting Behavior
CRITICAL: This indicator uses lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on to access higher timeframe data immediately for FVG detection. This is necessary to provide real-time FVG zone visualization but has the following implications:
FVG zones may shift slightly until the higher timeframe candle closes
FVG detection signals are preliminary until HTF bar confirmation
The main trading signals (triangles) appear on confirmed bars and do not repaint
Best Practice: Always wait for the current timeframe bar to close before acting on signals. The filter status and FVG zones are informational but may adjust as new data arrives.
2. Minimum Timeframe
Do NOT use on timeframes below 5 minutes (M5)
Recommended: M5, M15, M30 for intraday trading
Higher timeframes (H1, H4) can also be used but will generate fewer signals
3. Multiple Filters Can Block Signals
By design, this indicator is conservative. When all filters are enabled:
Signals appear ONLY when all conditions align
You may see extended periods with no signals
This is intentional to reduce false positives
If you see no signals:
Check the Info Panel to see which filters are failing
Consider adjusting FVG lookback period
Temporarily disable FVG filter to test
Verify VWAP filters match current market trend
4. Market Profile Limitations
Market Profile requires sufficient volume data
Low-volume instruments may produce unreliable profiles
Value Areas update only on higher timeframe bar close
Works best on liquid markets (major forex pairs, indices, crypto)
📖 HOW TO USE
Step 1: Add to Chart
Apply indicator to M5 or higher timeframe chart
Ensure chart shows volume data
Use standard candles (NOT Heikin Ashi, Renko, etc.)
Step 2: Configure Settings
Primary MP Filter TF: Set to 60 (1 hour) minimum, or 240 (4 hour) for swing trading
Main MP TF: Set to 60 (1 hour) for intraday signals
FVG Timeframe: Match or exceed main MP timeframe
Leave other settings at default initially
Step 3: Understand the Info Panel
Monitor the top-right panel:
FILTER STATUS: Shows current directional bias
NEUTRAL = Both signals allowed
BUY ONLY = Only green triangles will appear
SELL ONLY = Only red triangles will appear
FVG Filter: Shows if bullish/bearish gaps detected recently
VWAP positions: Confirms trend alignment
Step 4: Take Signals
For BUY Signal (Green Triangle ▲):
Wait for green triangle to appear
Check Info Panel shows ✓ for BUY signals
Confirm current bar has closed
Enter long position
Stop loss: Below recent VAL or swing low
Target: Previous Value Area High or 1.5-2× risk
For SELL Signal (Red Triangle ▼):
Wait for red triangle to appear
Check Info Panel shows ✓ for SELL signals
Confirm current bar has closed
Enter short position
Stop loss: Above recent VAH or swing high
Target: Previous Value Area Low or 1.5-2× risk
Step 5: Risk Management
Risk per trade: Maximum 1-2% of account equity
Position sizing: Adjust based on stop loss distance
Avoid trading: During major news events or time filter periods
Multiple confirmations: Look for confluence with price action (support/resistance, trendlines)
🎓 UNDERLYING CONCEPTS
Market Profile Theory
Developed by J. Peter Steidlmayer in the 1980s, Market Profile organizes price and volume data to identify:
Value Areas: Where 70% of trading activity occurred
POC: Price level with highest acceptance (most volume)
Imbalances: When price moves away from value quickly
This indicator uses TPO (Time Price Opportunity) calculation method to build the volume profile distribution.
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
VWAP represents the average price weighted by volume, showing where institutional traders are positioned:
Price above VWAP = Bullish (institutions accumulated lower)
Price below VWAP = Bearish (institutions distributed higher)
Using dual VWAP (Session + Week) creates multi-timeframe trend alignment.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Also known as "imbalance" or "inefficiency," FVG occurs when:
Price moves so rapidly that a gap forms in the candlestick structure
Indicates institutional order flow (large market orders)
Price often returns to "fill" these gaps (rebalance)
The 3-candle FVG pattern (gap between candle and candle ) is widely used in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology and Smart Money Concepts.

3D Cube Projection - √3 Diagonal3D Cube Projection - √3 Diagonal
OVERVIEW
This indicator implements Bradley F. Cowan's cube projection methodology from his "Four Dimensional Stock Market Structures & Cycles" work. It visualizes a 3D cube projected onto the 2D price-time chart, using the √3 (square root of 3) body diagonal as the primary analytical tool for identifying market structure and potential cycle termination points.
METHODOLOGY
The cube is constructed by selecting two pivot points (A and E) which form the body diagonal - the longest diagonal running through the cube's interior from one corner to the diagonally opposite corner. According to Cowan's geometric approach:
- Point A = Starting pivot (low or high)
- Point E = Ending pivot (opposite extreme)
- Body Diagonal (A→E) = √3 × cube side length
- Face Diagonal (A→C) = √2 × cube side length
The script calculates the cube dimensions by:
1. Measuring the total price range from A to E
2. Dividing by √3 to determine the cube side length in price
3. Distributing the time component across three equal segments
4. Projecting the 3D structure onto the 2D chart plane
FEATURES
✓ Interactive date selection for points A and E
✓ Automatic UPLEG/DOWNLEG detection
✓ All 8 cube vertices labeled (A-H)
✓ All 6 cube faces with independent color/opacity controls
✓ √3 body diagonal (red line by default)
✓ √2 face diagonal (orange line by default)
✓ Customizable cube lines, fills, and labels
✓ Information table showing key measurements
VISUAL CUSTOMIZATION
- Front & Back faces: Box fills for the two square faces
- Side faces: Left and right vertical faces
- Top & Bottom faces: Horizontal connecting faces
- Each group has independent color and opacity settings
- Label size and transparency fully adjustable
- Cube line styles (solid, dashed, dotted) for depth perception
IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS & DISCLOSURES
This indicator works within the inherent constraints of projecting 3D geometry onto a 2D price-time chart:
⚠️ VISUAL APPROXIMATION: This is a visual projection tool, not a mathematically perfect 3D cube. True 3D geometry cannot be accurately represented on a 2D plane without distortion.
⚠️ TIME DISTRIBUTION: The script divides the time axis into three equal segments (total bars ÷ 3) for practical visualization. This is an approximation that prioritizes visual coherence over strict geometric accuracy.
⚠️ UNIT SCALING: Price and time use different units (dollars vs. bars), making true isometric projection impossible. The cube appears proportional on screen but the dimensions are not directly comparable.
⚠️ 2D CONSTRAINT: We only have X (time) and Y (price) axes available. The Z-axis (depth) is simulated through visual projection techniques (line styles, shading).
INTENDED USE
This tool is designed for traders and analysts who study Bradley Cowan's geometric market analysis methods. It helps visualize:
- Market structure in geometric terms
- Potential support/resistance zones at cube edges
- Cycle timing relationships using √2 and √3 ratios
- Harmonic price-time relationships
The cube projection should be used as one component of a comprehensive analysis approach, combined with other technical tools and fundamental analysis.
MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
While the visual representation involves approximations, the core √3 relationship is mathematically sound:
- For any cube, the body diagonal = √3 × side length
- The face diagonal = √2 × side length
- These ratios are preserved in the price dimension calculations
HOW TO USE
1. Select your starting date (Point A) - typically a significant low or high
2. Select your ending date (Point E) - the opposite extreme pivot
3. The indicator automatically constructs the cube geometry
4. Analyze the cube edges, diagonals, and faces for market structure insights
5. Adjust colors and opacity to suit your chart aesthetic
TECHNICAL NOTES
- Works on all timeframes and instruments
- Best viewed on charts with sufficient historical data
- Cube updates in real-time as new bars form
- Range selection is marked with vertical lines and shading
- Calculator table shows Point A, Point E, side length, and bar measurements
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
This indicator is based on the geometric market analysis principles developed by Bradley F. Cowan. Users are encouraged to study Cowan's original works for deeper understanding of the theoretical framework.

Lord Mathew ATSThe Smart Money Structure & Pattern Analyzer is a complete, all-in-one visual trading system that brings together every essential element of Smart Money Concepts (SMC), ICT methodology, and candlestick psychology into one powerful indicator.
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.
Disclaimer
This indicator is intended for educational and analytical use. It does not provide financial advice or guaranteed trading results. Always backtest and manage your risk responsibly.
Periodic Volume ProfileThis indicator visualizes volume profiles that are dynamically anchored to market structure events, rather than fixed time intervals. It builds these profiles using high-resolution intra-bar data to provide a precise view of where value is established during critical market phases.
Key Features:
Event-Based Profile Anchoring: The indicator starts a new profile based on one of three user-selected events ('Profile Anchor'):
Swing: A new profile begins when the 'impulse baseline' (derived from delta) changes. This baseline adjusts when a new price pivot is confirmed: When a price high forms, the baseline moves to the lower of its previous level or the peak delta (max of delta O/C) at the pivot. When a price low forms, it moves to the higher of its previous level or the trough delta (min of delta O/C).
Structure: A new profile begins immediately on the bar that confirms a market structure break (e.g., a new HH or LL, based on a sequence of price pivots).
Delta: A new profile begins immediately on the bar that confirms a break in the cumulative delta's market structure (e.g., a new HH or LL in the delta).
Statistical Profile Engine: For each bar in the anchored period, the indicator builds a volume profile on a lower 'Intra-Bar Timeframe'. It uses:
Statistical Models ('Allot model'): Distributes volume across price levels using 'PDF' (Probability Density Function) or 'Classic' (close) methods.
Buy/Sell Classifiers ('Volume Estimator'): Splits volume using a 'Dynamic' (trend/wick-based) or 'Classic' (candle color) model.
Note on Anchor Lag: The different anchor types have different delays. 'Structure' and 'Delta' profiles begin in real-time on the confirmation bar. The 'Swing' profile calculation is plotted retroactively to the pivot's origin, as the pivot is only confirmed Pivot Right Bars after it occurs.
Flexible Visualization Modes: The finalized profile (plotted at the end of each period) can be displayed in three ways: 'Up/Down' (buy vs. sell), 'Total' (combined volume), and 'Delta' (net difference).
Developing Real-Time Metrics: The indicator plots the developing Point of Control (POC), Value Area (VA), VWAP, and Standard Deviation bands in real-time as the new profile forms.
Dynamic Row Sizing: Includes an option ('Rows per Percent') to automatically adjust the number of profile rows (buckets) based on the profile's price range, maintaining a consistent visual density.
Integrated Alerts: Includes 13 alerts that trigger for:
A new profile reset ('Profile was resetted').
Price crossing any of the 6 developing levels (POC, VA High/Low, VWAP, StdDev High/Low).
Caution: Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting) This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the values on the current, unclosed bar (the real-time bar) will update dynamically as new intra-bar data arrives. This behavior is normal and necessary for this type of analysis. Signals should only be considered final after the main chart bar has closed.

Multi Pivot Trend [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Multi Pivot Trend is an advanced market-structure-driven trend engine that evaluates trend strength by scanning multiple pivot breakouts simultaneously.
Instead of relying on a single swing length, it tracks breakouts across ten increasing pivot lengths — then averages their behavior to produce a smooth, reliable trend reading.
Mitigation logic (close, wick, or HL2 touches) controls how breakouts are confirmed, giving traders institutional-style flexibility similar to BOS/CHoCH validation rules.
This indicator not only colors candles based on trend strength, but also extends trend strength and volatility-scaled projection candles to show where trend pressure may expand next.
Pivot breakout lines and labels mark key changes, making the trend transitions extremely clear.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Market trend strength is reflected by multiple pivot breakouts, not just one.
The indicator analyzes ten pivot structures from smaller to larger swings.
Each bullish or bearish pivot breakout contributes to trend score.
Mitigation options (close / wick / HL2) imitate smart-money breakout confirmation logic.
Trend score is averaged and translated into colors and extension bars.
Neutral regime ≈ weak trend or transition zone (trend compression).
🔵 FEATURES
Multi-Pivot Engine — tracks 10 pivot-based trend signals simultaneously.
Mitigation Modes :
• Close — breakout requires candle close beyond pivot
• Wicks — breakout requires wick violation
• HL2 — breakout confirmed when average (H+L)/2 crosses level
Dynamic Color System :
• Blue → confirmed bullish rotation
• Red → confirmed bearish rotation
• Orange → neutral / transition state
Breakout Visualization — draws pivot breakout lines in real-time.
Trend Labels — prints trend %.
Trend Volatility-Scaled Extension Candles — ATR/trend strength based candle projections show momentum continuation strength.
Gradient Pivot Encoding — higher pivot lengths = deeper structure considered.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use strong blue/red periods to follow dominant structural trend.
Watch for color transition into orange — possible trend change or consolidation.
Pivot breakout lines help validate structure shifts without clutter.
Wick mitigation catches aggressive liquidity-sweep based breaks.
Close/HL2 mitigation catches cleaner market structure rotations.
Extension bars visualize trend pressure — large extensions = strong push.
Best paired with volume or volatility confirmation tools.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Multi Pivot Trend is a structural trend recognition system that blends multiple pivot breakouts into one clean trend score — with institutional-style mitigation logic and volatility-projected trend extensions.
It gives traders a powerful, visually intuitive way to track momentum, spot trend rotations early, and understand true structural flow beyond simple MA-based approaches.
Use it to stay aligned with the dominant swing direction while avoiding noise and false flips.
Fib OscillatorWhat is Fib Oscillator and How to Use it?
🔶 1. Conceptual Overview
The Fib Oscillator is a Fibonacci-based relative position oscillator.
Instead of measuring momentum (like RSI or MACD), it measures where price currently sits between the recent swing high and swing low, expressed as a percentage within the Fibonacci range.
In other words:
It answers: “Where is price right now within its most recent dynamic range?”
It visualizes retracement and extension zones numerically, providing continuous feedback between 0% and 100% (and beyond if extended).
🔶 2. What the Script Does
The indicator:
Automatically detects recent high and low levels using an adaptive lookback window, which depends on ATR volatility.
Calculates the current price’s position between those levels as a percentage (0–100).
Plots that percentage as an oscillator — showing visually whether price is near the top, middle, or bottom of its recent range.
Overlays Fibonacci retracement levels (23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6%) as reference zones.
Generates alerts when the oscillator crosses key Fib thresholds — which can signal retracement completion, breakout potential, or pullback exhaustion.

Then it clamps this between minLookback and maxLookback.
This makes the oscillator:
More reactive during high volatility (shorter lookback)
More stable during calm markets (longer lookback)
Essentially, it self-adjusts to market rhythm — you don’t have to constantly tweak lookback manually.
(c) High-Low Reference Points
It takes the highest and lowest points within the dynamic lookback window.
If isInverse = true, it flips the candle logic (useful if viewing inverse instruments like stablecoin pairs or when analyzing bearish setups invertedly).
(d) Oscillator Core
The main oscillator line:
osc
=
(
close
−
low
)
(
high
−
low
)
×
100
osc=
(high−low)
(close−low)
×100
0% = Price is at the lookback low.
100% = Price is at the lookback high.
50% = Midpoint (balanced).
Between Fibonacci percentages (23.6%, 38.2%, 61.8%, etc.), the oscillator indicates retracement stages.
(e) Fibonacci Levels as Reference
It overlays horizontal reference lines at:
0%, 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6%, 100%
These act as support/resistance bands in oscillator space.
You can read it similar to how traders use Fibonacci retracements on charts, but compressed into a single line oscillator.
(f) Alerts
The script includes built-in alert conditions for crossovers at each major Fibonacci level.
You can set TradingView alerts such as:
“Oscillator crossed above 61.8%” → possible bullish continuation or breakout.
“Oscillator crossed below 38.2%” → possible pullback or correction starting.
This allows automated monitoring of fib retracement completions without manually drawing fib levels.
🔶 4. How to Use It
🔸 Visual Interpretation
Oscillator Value Zone Market Context
0–23.6% Deep Retracement Potential exhaustion of a down-move / early reversal
23.6–38.2% Shallow retracement zone Possible continuation phase
38.2–50% Mid retracement Neutral or indecisive structure
50–61.8% Key pivot region Common trend resumption zone
61.8–78.6% Late retracement Often “last pullback” area
78.6–100% Near high range Possible overextension / profit-taking
>100% Range breakout New leg formation / expansion
🔸 Practical Application Steps
Load the indicator on your chart (set overlay = false, so it’s below the main price chart).
Observe oscillator position relative to fib bands:
Use it to determine retracement depth.
Combine with structure tools:
Trend lines, swing points, or HTF market structure.
Use crossovers for timing:
Crossing above 61.8% in an uptrend often confirms breakout continuation.
Crossing below 38.2% in a downtrend signals renewed downside momentum.
For range markets, oscillator swings between 23.6% and 78.6% can define accumulation/distribution boundaries.
🔶 5. When to Use It
During Retracements: To gauge how deep the pullback has gone.
During Range Markets: To identify relative overbought/oversold positions.
Before Breakouts: Crossovers of 61.8% or 78.6% often precede impulsive moves.
In Multi-Timeframe Contexts:
LTF (15M–1H): Detect intraday retracement exhaustion.
HTF (4H–1D): Confirm major range expansions or key reversal zones.
🔶 6. Ideal Companion Indicators
The Fib Oscillator works best when contextualized with structure, volatility, and trend bias indicators.
Below are optimal pairings:
Companion Indicator Purpose Integration Insight
Market Structure MTF Tool Identify active trend direction Use Fib Oscillator only in trend direction for cleaner signals
EMA Ribbon / Supertrend Trend confirmation Align oscillator crossovers with EMA bias
ATR Bands / Volatility Envelope Validate breakout strength If oscillator >78.6% & ATR rising → valid breakout
Volume Oscillator Confirm retracement strength Volume contraction + oscillator under 38.2% → potential reversal
HTF Fib Retracement Tool Combine LTF oscillator with HTF fib confluence Powerful multi-timeframe setups
RSI or Stochastic Measure momentum relative to position RSI divergence while oscillator near 78.6% → exhaustion clue
🔶 7. Understanding the Settings
Setting Function Practical Impact
ATR Period (14) Controls volatility sampling Higher = smoother lookback adaptation
Min Lookback (20) Smallest window allowed Lower = more reactive but noisier
Max Lookback (100) Largest window allowed Higher = smoother but slower to react
Inverse Candle Chart Flips oscillator vertically Useful when analyzing bearish or inverse scenarios (e.g. short-side fib mapping)
Recommended Configs:
For scalping/intraday: ATR 10–14, lookback 20–50
For swing/position trading: ATR 14–21, lookback 50–100
🔶 8. Example Trade Logic (Practical Use)
Scenario: Uptrend on 4H chart
Oscillator drops to below 38.2% → retracement zone
Price consolidates → oscillator stabilizes
Oscillator crosses above 50% → pullback ending
Entry: Long when oscillator crosses above 61.8%
Exit: Near 78.6–100% zone or upon divergence with RSI
For Short Bias (Inverse Setup):
Enable isInverse = true to visually flip the oscillator (so lows become highs).
Use the same thresholds inversely.
🔶 9. Strengths & Limitations
✅ Strengths
Dynamic, self-adapting to volatility
Quantifies Fib retracement as a continuous function
Compact oscillator view (no clutter on chart)
Works well across all timeframes
Compatible with both trending and ranging markets
⚠️ Limitations
Doesn’t define trend direction — must be used with structure filters
Can whipsaw during choppy consolidations
The “lookback auto-adjust” may lag in sudden volatility shifts
Shouldn’t be used standalone for entries without structural confluence
🔶 10. Summary
The “Fib Oscillator” is a dynamic Fibonacci-relative positioning tool that merges retracement theory with adaptive volatility logic.
It gives traders an intuitive, quantified view of where price sits within its recent fib range, allowing anticipation of pullbacks, reversals, or breakout momentum.
Think of it as a "Fibonacci RSI", but instead of momentum strength, it shows positional depth — the vibrational location of price within its natural swing cycle.
Orderblocks & BreakersThis indicator identifies potential orderblocks and breakers based on recent swing highs and lows. It is built to offer a structured, customizable, and noise-controlled view of how price interacts with supply and demand levels.
The script applies pivot-based swing detection to identify swing highs and lows.
Bullish Orderblocks: The script Identifies and stores the last down candle before a swing high is breached and confirms and plots the orderblock with a market structure break (close above the swing high).
Bearish Orderblocks: The script Identifies and stores the last up candle before a swing low is breached and confirms and plots the orderblock with a market structure break (close below the swing low).
When price later closes through an existing orderblock, it is reclassified as a Breaker and recolored accordingly. (all colors can be changed in the settings)
What Makes It Different
Unlike most orderblock tools that simply mark every swing-based block, this version introduces:
1. Chop Control – automatically hides breakers that price repeatedly closes through (2 closes after the orderblock becomes a breaker), keeping only relevant zones visible.
2. Recent Block Filtering – limits how many of the recent orderblocks or breakers are displayed, preventing chart clutter.
3. Dynamic Updating – orderblocks automatically convert to breakers when price closes beyond them, with clear color changes.
These features make it easier to study cleaner price structure without manually managing old or invalid zones. The optional Chop Control filter can reduce overlapping or repeatedly invalidated zones to keep the chart clearer.
Customizable Parameters
- Swing detection length (shorter means more aggressive pivot detection, longer means less aggressive so less highs/lows detected)
- Number of recent blocks to display
- Visibility toggles for orderblocks or breakers
- Color and transparency controls for each type
Alerts
Alerts can be set to trigger when price tests any defined zone.
Purpose
This indicator is designed as a price structure visualization and study tool.
It may assist in understanding how price interacts with previously active regions, but it does not produce signals or trade recommendations.
Bitcoin Cycle History Visualization [SwissAlgo]BTC 4-Year Cycle Tops & Bottoms
Historical visualization of Bitcoin's market cycles from 2010 to present, with projections based on weighted averages of past performance.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CALCULATION METHODOLOGY
Why Bottom-to-Bottom Cycle Measurement?
This indicator defines cycles as bottom-to-bottom periods. This is one of several valid approaches to Bitcoin cycle analysis:
- Focuses on market behavior (price bottoms) rather than supply schedule events (halving-to-halving)
- Bottoms may offer good reference points for some analytical purposes
- Tops tend to be extended periods that are harder to define precisely
- Aligns with how some traditional asset cycles are measured and the timing observed in the broader "risk-on" assets category
- Halving events are shown separately (yellow backgrounds) for reference
- Neither halving-based nor bottom-based measurement is inherently superior
Different analysts prefer different cycle definitions based on their analytical goals. This approach prioritizes observable market turning points.
Cycle Date Definitions
- Approximate monthly ranges used for each event (e.g., Nov 2022 bottom = Nov 1-30, 2022)
- Cycle 1: Jul 2010 bottom → Jun 2011 top → Nov 2011 bottom
- Cycle 2: Nov 2011 bottom → Dec 2013 top → Jan 2015 bottom
- Cycle 3: Jan 2015 bottom → Dec 2017 top → Dec 2018 bottom
- Cycle 4: Dec 2018 bottom → Nov 2021 top → Nov 2022 bottom
- Future cycles will be added as new top/bottom dates become firm
Duration Calculations
- Days = timestamp difference converted to days (milliseconds ÷ 86,400,000)
- Bottom → Top: days from cycle bottom to peak
- Top → Bottom: days from peak to next cycle bottom
- Bottom → Bottom: full cycle duration (sum of above)
Price Change Calculations
- % Change = ((New Price - Old Price) / Old Price) × 100
- Example: $200 → $19,700 = ((19,700 - 200) / 200) × 100 = 9,750% gain
- Approximate historical prices used (rounded to significant figures)
Weighted Average Formula
Recent cycles weighted more heavily to reflect the evolved market structure:
- Cycle 1 (2010-2011): EXCLUDED (too early-stage, tiny market cap)
- Cycle 2 (2011-2015): Weight = 1x
- Cycle 3 (2015-2018): Weight = 3x
- Cycle 4 (2018-2022): Weight = 5x
Formula: Weighted Avg = (C2×1 + C3×3 + C4×5) / (1+3+5)
Example for Bottom→Top days: (761×1 + 1065×3 + 1066×5) / 9 = 1,032 days
Projection Method
- Projected Top Date = Nov 2022 bottom + weighted avg Bottom→Top days
- Projected Bottom Date = Nov 2022 bottom + weighted avg Bottom→Bottom days
- Current days elapsed compared to weighted averages
- Warning symbol (⚠) shown when the current cycle exceeds the historical average
Technical Implementation
- Historical cycle dates are hardcoded (not algorithmically detected)
- Dates represent approximate monthly ranges for each event
- The indicator will be updated as the Cycle 5 top and bottom dates become confirmed
- Updates require manual code maintenance - not automatic
- Users should verify they're using the latest version for current cycle data
-----------------------------------------------------------------
FEATURES
- Background highlights for historical tops (red), bottoms (green), and halving events (yellow)
- Data table showing cycle durations and price changes
- Visual cycle boundary boxes with subtle coloring
- Projected timeframes displayed as dashed vertical lines
- Toggle on/off for each visual element
- Customizable background colors
-----------------------------------------------------------------
DISPLAY SETTINGS
- Show/hide cycle tops, bottoms, halvings, data table, and cycle boxes
- Customizable background colors for each event type
- Clean, institutional-grade visual design suitable for analysis
UPDATES & MAINTENANCE
This indicator is maintained as new cycle events occur. When Cycle 5's top and bottom are confirmed with sufficient time elapsed, the code and projections will be updated accordingly. Check for the latest version periodically.
OPEN SOURCE
Code available for review, modification, and improvement. Educational transparency is prioritized.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS
⚠ EXTREMELY SMALL SAMPLE SIZE
Based on only 4 complete cycles (2011-2022). In statistical analysis, this is insufficient for reliable predictions.
⚠ CHANGED MARKET STRUCTURE
Bitcoin's market has fundamentally evolved since early cycles:
- 2010-2015: Tiny market cap, retail-only, unregulated
- 2024-2025: Institutional adoption, spot ETFs, regulatory frameworks, macro correlation
The environment that created past patterns no longer exists in the same form.
⚠ NO PREDICTIVE GUARANTEE
Historical patterns can and do break. Market cycles are not laws of physics. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The next cycle may not follow historical averages.
⚠ LENGTHENING CYCLE THEORY
Some analysts believe cycles are extending over time (diminishing returns, maturing market). If true, simple averaging underestimates future cycle lengths.
⚠ SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY RISK
The halving narrative may be partially circular - it works because people believe it works. Sufficient changes in market structure or participant behavior can invalidate the pattern.
⚠ APPROXIMATE DATA
Historical prices rounded to significant figures. Exact bottom/top dates vary by exchange. Month-long ranges are used for simplicity.
EDUCATIONAL USE ONLY
This indicator is designed for historical analysis and understanding Bitcoin's past behavior. It is NOT:
- Trading advice or financial recommendations
- A guarantee or prediction of future price movements
- Suitable as a sole basis for investment decisions
- A replacement for fundamental or technical analysis
The projections show "what if the pattern continues exactly" - not "what will happen."
Always conduct independent research, understand the risks, and consult qualified financial advisors before making investment decisions. Only invest what you can afford to lose.

Smart Money SignalsSmart Money Signals – Market Flow & Structure Visualizer
Overview
Smart Money Signals is a precision trading tool designed for traders who want to see market structure and momentum flow in real time. By detecting pivots, momentum imbalances, and dynamic support/resistance levels, the indicator transforms raw price action into a clear visual narrative of where capital is entering and exiting the market.
Instead of lagging averages or cluttered signals, Smart Money Signals highlights the moments that matter most—where bullish and bearish flows are confirmed, where support or resistance breaks, and where momentum zones show the true battleground between buyers and sellers. Its adaptive design makes it equally effective for scalpers seeking sharp entries, swing traders tracking reversals, and longer-term traders looking for confirmation of bias.
How It Works
The engine behind Smart Money Signals relies on swing detection and a configurable sensitivity filter. By monitoring directional momentum across recent bars, the system identifies bullish pivots (where downside exhaustion flips into strength) and bearish pivots (where upward thrust collapses into weakness).
When price confirms a pivot, the indicator draws flow lines to mark the breakout and labels them as either continuation or reversal events, depending on existing market bias. Momentum zones are automatically plotted, highlighting the critical areas where buyers defended price or sellers pressed it lower.
Dynamic support and resistance levels extend forward in time, updating live as price develops. These zones change color when broken, visually signaling whether structure has held or failed. Gradient background shading further emphasizes moments of extreme momentum, such as overbought or oversold surges, so that traders instantly see when market pressure intensifies.
Signals and Market Flows
Smart Money Signals provides visual cues that are both intuitive and actionable:
📈 Bullish Flow Signals appear when price breaks above a confirmed pivot, signaling continuation or reversal into strength.
📉 Bearish Flow Signals appear when price breaks below a confirmed pivot, indicating continuation or reversal into weakness.
Momentum Zones highlight the defended areas between pivots, giving traders a visual map of where structure is strongest.
Dynamic Support & Resistance lines extend across the chart, shifting from defense to failure when broken, ensuring that the most relevant levels are always visible.
Break Signals mark the exact bar where key levels give way, confirming structural violations in real time.
By filtering out noise and focusing on meaningful flow events, the system helps traders avoid overreaction and focus only on high-probability structural shifts.
Strategy Integration
Smart Money Signals is versatile across trading styles:
Trend Continuation : Enter in the direction of flow signals, using dynamic zones as both confirmation and stop-loss placement.
Reversal Trading : Watch for pivots tagged as reversal points, where market bias flips and new structure is created.
Momentum Zone Entries : Use the automatically drawn zones to identify low-risk entries on pullbacks or retests.
Bias Alignment : The integrated dashboard reveals the current market bias—bullish, bearish, or neutral—helping traders stay aligned with the dominant flow.
Stop-losses can be positioned beyond the dynamic zone on the opposite side, while take-profits may be guided by the width of zones or momentum-driven extensions. On higher timeframes, the indicator provides context for macro structure, while lower timeframes allow for tactical entry refinement.
Advanced Techniques
Traders seeking deeper precision can combine Smart Money Signals with volume or order flow tools to validate pivots and zone defenses. Monitoring the sequence of bullish and bearish flows helps identify trend maturity, while analyzing the success rate of pivots in the analytics panel builds a data-driven approach to confidence in signals.
Adjusting swing period and sensitivity allows the indicator to adapt to different market conditions, from volatile crypto pairs to steady forex majors. The flexible visual themes—Cyber, Ocean, Sunset, Matrix—ensure readability across setups, while gradient shading keeps the chart intuitive even under fast-moving conditions.
Why Use Smart Money Signals
Markets are driven by liquidity, momentum, and structure. Smart Money Signals uncovers these forces by translating price action into a clear visual map of flow. It shows:
Where structure was built.
Where it was defended.
Where it was broken.
And where momentum is likely to carry next.
By combining flow detection, dynamic zones, and a live analytics dashboard, the indicator provides traders with a complete framework for reading price action in real time.
Whether you trade crypto, forex, or indices, Smart Money Signals adapts seamlessly to any asset class, giving you clarity, precision, and confidence to execute without second-guessing.
Fibs Has Lied 🌟 Fibs Has Lied - Indicator Overview 🌟
Designed for indices like US30, NQ, and SPX, this indicator highlights setups where price interacts with key EMA levels during specific trading sessions (default: 6:30–11:30 AM EST).
🌟 Key Features & Levels 🌟
🔹EMA Crossover Setups
The indicator uses the 100-period and 200-period EMAs to identify bullish and bearish setups:
- Bullish Setup: Triggers when the 100 EMA crosses above the 200 EMA, followed by two consecutive candles opening above the 100 EMA, with the low within a specified point distance (e.g., 20 points for US30).
- Bearish Setup: Triggers when the 100 EMA crosses below the 200 EMA, followed by two consecutive candles opening below the 100 EMA, with the high within the point distance.
- Signals are marked with green (buy) or red (sell) triangles and text, ensuring you don’t miss a setup. 📈
🔹 Reset Conditions for Re-Entries
After an initial setup, the indicator watches for “reset” opportunities:
- Buy Reset: If price moves below the 200 EMA after a bullish crossover, then returns with two consecutive candles where lows are above the 100 EMA (within point distance), a new buy signal is plotted.
- Sell Reset: If price moves above the 200 EMA after a bearish crossover, then returns with two consecutive candles where highs are below the 100 EMA (within point distance), a new sell signal is plotted.
This feature captures additional entries after liquidity grabs or fakeouts, aligning with ICT’s manipulation concepts. 🔄
🔹 Session-Based Filtering
Focus your trades during high-liquidity windows! The default session (6:30–11:30 AM EST, New York timezone) targets the London/NY overlap, where price often seeks liquidity or sets up for reversals. Toggle the time filter off for 24/7 signals if desired. 🕒
🔹Symbol-Specific Point Distance
Customizable entry zones based on your chosen index:
