Order Block Zones | AlphaScriptOrder Block Zones automatically detects and tracks institutional order blocks the candles where significant buying or selling originated and manages each zone through its full lifecycle from formation to mitigation.
💡What an order block is
An order block is the last candle before a strong directional move: the point where institutional orders were placed before price left the area. Traders watch these zones because price often returns to them, using the untraded liquidity as support (bullish OB) or resistance (bearish OB). This tool identifies those zones systematically instead of by eye.
🔍How detection works
Zones are anchored to confirmed swing pivots. A bullish order block is drawn from a down-candle at a confirmed swing low; a bearish order block from an up-candle at a confirmed swing high. Pivots are confirmed using a symmetrical lookback (default 10 bars each side), so a zone only appears after the pivot is fully validated — the detection does not repaint. You can define the zone boundaries two ways: Full Candle (high to low, the complete range) or Body Only (open to close, a tighter zone focused on the candle body).
⚙️Filtering for quality
Not every pivot candle is worth marking. Two optional filters keep the chart focused on significant zones:
ATR Size Filter — the candle's range must exceed a multiple of ATR, so only meaningfully large origin candles qualify.
Volume Filter — the candle's volume must exceed a multiple of its 20-period average, favoring zones formed on genuine participation.
A configurable cap limits how many active zones are tracked per side, keeping the most recent and relevant ones.
🎯Mitigation tracking — the core of the tool
A zone stays active until price invalidates it. You choose how invalidation is measured:
Close mode — the zone is mitigated when a candle closes through it (stricter, fewer false invalidations).
Wick mode — the zone is mitigated on any wick penetration (more sensitive).
When a zone is mitigated you can either remove it (Delete) or leave a dimmed marker where it was (Keep Faded), so you can see where past zones were tested.
📈How to use it
Treat active bullish zones as potential demand (support) and active bearish zones as potential supply (resistance). Watch for price returning to an unmitigated zone as a possible reaction area, and use the mitigation state to know when a level has genuinely failed rather than held. The zone's midline gives a reference level within the block. Combine it with your own structure read and higher-timeframe bias — the tool marks the zones, you make the decisions.
🎨Customization
Zone fill and border opacity, border width, extension length, midline style and width, label size, side, and text, and full color control — so the zones fit your chart rather than forcing a fixed look.
🔔Alerts
Bullish/bearish order block formed, and bullish/bearish order block mitigated.
📌Notes
Zones are drawn from confirmed pivots and evaluated on closed bars only — signals do not repaint intrabar. Detection quality depends on the pivot length and filters; adjust them to your instrument and timeframe. Order blocks mark areas of interest, not guaranteed reversals — always combine with your own analysis and risk management. 지표

Liquidity Sweep & Golden Zone [StrixEDGE]Overview
Liquidity Sweep & Golden Zone is a multi-timeframe structural analysis tool built for traders who use Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and ICT methodology. It identifies liquidity sweeps at confirmed swing levels, maps the Fibonacci Golden Zone (OTE), and presents a real-time confluence dashboard across 15-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, and daily timeframes.
The indicator answers three questions at a glance: where is the liquidity?, has it been swept?, and do multiple timeframes agree on direction?
How It Works
Liquidity Sweep Detection
The engine tracks confirmed swing highs and swing lows using pivot detection. These pivots represent resting liquidity pools — areas where stop-loss orders accumulate:
- Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) sits above swing highs, where short sellers place their stops. When price wicks above a swing high and closes back below, a BSL sweep is triggered — signaling that buy-side stops were hunted. This typically precedes bearish continuation.
- Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) sits below swing lows, where long traders place their stops. When price wicks below a swing low and closes back above, an SSL sweep is triggered — signaling that sell-side stops were hunted. This typically precedes bullish reversal.
Each sweep event displays the estimated volume in USDT at the moment of the sweep. This is calculated as `volume × close` on the sweep bar and serves as a proxy for the magnitude of liquidations that occurred. Higher volume sweeps tend to produce stronger reversals.
After a sweep, the level is updated to the new extreme — preventing duplicate signals and establishing a fresh liquidity reference.
Support & Resistance (Pivot-Based)
Active (un-swept) pivot levels are drawn on the chart as structural Support and Resistance:
- A line extending from the bar where the pivot formed to the current price area
- A zone band (ATR × 0.15) around the level, representing the area of influence
- Origin labels showing "Buy-Side Liquidity SWEEP" or "Sell-Side Liquidity SWEEP" with the USDT volume
- Price labels on the right edge for quick reference
These levels update dynamically: when a new pivot is confirmed, the line starts from the new origin. When a sweep occurs, the level shifts to the sweep bar.
Golden Zone (Fibonacci OTE: 0.618 – 0.786)
The Golden Zone represents the Optimal Trade Entry area — the 61.8% to 78.6% Fibonacci retracement of the most recent price range. Unlike pivot-based calculations, this indicator uses a **lookback-based approach**: it finds the highest high and lowest low over a configurable number of bars, then derives the zone from that range.
The zone is visualized with:
- A filled box between the 0.618 and 0.786 levels (transparency adjustable)
- Dashed border lines at 0.618 and 0.786
- A dotted midline at the 0.702 level
- Price labels showing exact values
- A centered "GOLDEN ZONE" tag
This approach produces a stable, always-visible zone that doesn't depend on individual pivot detection, making it reliable across all market conditions.
Multi-Timeframe Heatmap
The core of this indicator is a 7-column heatmap table that evaluates market conditions across four timeframes simultaneously:
| Column | What It Shows | Bullish | Bearish |
|--------|--------------|---------|---------|
| SWEEP | Recent liquidity sweep direction | ● BULL (SSL swept) | ● BEAR (BSL swept) |
| GZ | Price position relative to Golden Zone | ▲ ABOVE | ▼ BELOW |
| S/R | Price position vs. pivot S/R midpoint | ▲ BULLISH | ▼ BEARISH |
| BIAS | EMA 21/50 trend direction | ▲ BULL | ▼ BEAR |
| RSI | RSI(14) value with decimal precision | Color-coded by zone | Color-coded by zone |
| SIGNAL | Composite of all conditions | LONG ▲ | SHORT ▼ |
Signal Logic: The SIGNAL column counts four conditions per timeframe — RSI above/below 50, price in/above the Golden Zone, price above/below the S/R midpoint, and EMA bias direction. When 3 or more conditions align bullish, the signal reads LONG. When 3 or more align bearish, it reads SHORT. Otherwise, NEUTRAL.
A confluence bar at the bottom aggregates all timeframes. When the majority of conditions across all four timeframes agree, it displays STRONG BULLISH or STRONG BEARISH CONFLUENCE.
RSI Color Coding
| RSI Range | Color | Meaning |
|-----------|-------|---------|
| > 70 | Orange | Overbought |
| 50 – 70 | Green | Bullish momentum |
| 30 – 50 | Red | Bearish momentum |
| < 30 | Blue | Oversold |

Alerts
Five alert conditions are built in and ready to use:
1. Bullish Liquidity Sweep — SSL swept, potential bullish reversal
2. Bearish Liquidity Sweep — BSL swept, potential bearish reversal
3. Bull Sweep + Golden Zone — SSL swept while price is inside the OTE zone (high-probability long)
4. Bear Sweep + Golden Zone — BSL swept while price is inside the OTE zone (high-probability short)
5. Price in Golden Zone — Price enters the 0.618–0.786 zone on any bar

Liquidity Rejection Auto TargetOverview
Liquidity Rejection Auto Target is a price action indicator designed to identify potential liquidity sweeps followed by rejection candles. The indicator automatically highlights possible long and short trading opportunities based on swing high and swing low liquidity concepts while plotting an entry level, stop loss, and a risk-reward based take-profit target.
This tool is intended to assist traders in identifying areas where price briefly moves beyond a recent swing level before returning back inside the range, which may indicate a rejection of that liquidity level.
How It Works
Bullish Setup
- Detects the most recent confirmed swing low.
- Waits for price to move below that swing low (liquidity sweep).
- Confirms the setup when the candle closes back above the swing low.
- Plots a BUY signal.
- Uses the rejection candle low as the Stop Loss.
- Calculates the Take Profit automatically using the selected Risk:Reward ratio.
Bearish Setup
- Detects the most recent confirmed swing high.
- Waits for price to move above that swing high (liquidity sweep).
- Confirms the setup when the candle closes back below the swing high.
- Plots a SELL signal.
- Uses the rejection candle high as the Stop Loss.
- Calculates the Take Profit automatically using the selected Risk:Reward ratio.
Features
• Automatic liquidity sweep detection
• Bullish and bearish rejection confirmation
• Automatic BUY and SELL signals
• Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit plotting
• Adjustable swing detection settings
• Configurable Risk:Reward ratio
• TradingView alert support
• Overlay display directly on the price chart
Inputs
Pivot Left / Right
Adjusts how swing highs and swing lows are identified. Larger values produce stronger but less frequent signals, while smaller values react more quickly to price changes.
Risk:Reward
Defines the automatic take-profit distance relative to the calculated stop-loss distance.
Best Practices
This indicator works best on liquid markets where swing highs and swing lows are clearly formed. Many traders use it together with higher-timeframe market structure, trend analysis, support and resistance, or volume confirmation to help filter potential trade setups.
Alerts
TradingView alert conditions are included for both BUY and SELL signals, allowing users to create notifications whenever a new setup is detected.

EonMetrics Liquidity ToolkitLiquidity Toolkit by EonMetrics
WHAT IT DOES
Whenever price makes a swing high or a swing low, a cluster of pending stop orders tends to sit just beyond it — buy-stop orders resting just above a swing high, and sell-stop orders resting just below a swing low. This is what traders call "liquidity." Large market participants often push price briefly through one of these levels to trigger those resting orders (grabbing the liquidity) before reversing back the other way — which is why these levels frequently mark turning points, not just breakout points.
This indicator finds and tracks these levels automatically:
- Buyside Liquidity (BSL) — the resting buy-stop cluster above a swing high, drawn as a line until price reaches it.
- Sellside Liquidity (SSL) — the resting sell-stop cluster below a swing low, drawn the same way.
- Equal Highs / Equal Lows (EQH / EQL) — when two or more swing highs (or lows) line up at almost the same price, that's a bigger, more obvious pool of resting orders (a double or triple top/bottom) — a stronger magnet for price than a single level.
- Liquidity Sweep — the actual moment a level gets taken: a wick pierces through it and price closes back on the original side. This can optionally require above-average volume on that candle, so you only see genuine, forceful grabs instead of every minor wick poke.
- Previous Day/Week High & Low (PDH / PDL / PWH / PWL) — the same tracking and sweep logic applied to yesterday's and last week's high/low, which tend to be some of the largest, most-watched liquidity targets of all.
Every level also shows a strength tag — the actual volume traded when it formed, plus how many times average that is (e.g. "340k (2.3x)") — so you can tell a level that formed with real conviction from one that formed on a quiet, unremarkable candle.
HOW TO ACTUALLY USE IT (STEP BY STEP)
1. Decide which side you're watching, then wait for the actual sweep — don't trade a level just because it's sitting there on the chart.
- Looking to go short? Find a Buyside Liquidity (BSL) level (or an Equal High) sitting above the current price, and wait for the sweep marker to appear — a wick punches through it, then price closes back below it.
- Looking to go long? Find a Sellside Liquidity (SSL) level (or an Equal Low) sitting below the current price, and wait for the sweep marker there — a wick punches through it, then price closes back above it.
2. Give extra weight to Equal Highs/Lows (marked EQH/EQL, especially ones with a "x2" or "x3" touch count) and to the Previous Day/Week High/Low lines — these are the bigger, more heavily-defended levels, so a sweep there tends to matter more than a sweep of a single minor swing.
3. Check the strength label on the swept level before acting — a sweep that happened on 2x average volume or higher is a far more convincing signal of a genuine reversal than one on below-average volume.
4. Treat the sweep as your trigger, not the resting level itself: a Buyside sweep points you toward looking for shorts, a Sellside sweep points you toward looking for longs.
5. Levels that get swept turn gray and dotted automatically — that tells you at a glance which levels have already been taken and are no longer valid targets, versus which ones are still resting and still ahead of price.
EVERY SETTING EXPLAINED
General group
- Swing Length (bars) — how many candles on each side must be lower/higher for a point to count as a real swing. A bigger number only catches major, more significant levels; a smaller number catches minor ones (more levels, more frequently).
- Max Levels Tracked — the maximum number of levels kept on the chart at once. Once you go over this, the oldest one is dropped. Lower this for a cleaner chart and better performance.
Buyside / Sellside Liquidity group
- Show BSL / SSL Levels — master on/off switch for these lines.
- Buyside (BSL) Color / Sellside (SSL) Color — line colors for each type.
- Line Width — thickness of the level lines.
- Line Style — solid, dashed, or dotted.
Equal Highs / Equal Lows group
- Highlight Equal Highs / Lows — turns on the automatic merging of two nearby swing highs (or lows) into one highlighted EQH/EQL pool.
- Equality Tolerance (x ATR) — how close two levels need to be in price (relative to recent volatility) to count as "equal." A larger value merges more loosely (more pairs count as equal); a smaller value requires them to be nearly identical.
- Equal High (EQH) Color / Equal Low (EQL) Color.
- Extend EQH/EQL Right — when off (default), an equal pool is just drawn as a short connector between the two matching swings. When on, it's also projected forward to the right as a live target, the same way single BSL/SSL levels are.
Level Strength group
- Show Level Strength — adds the volume text tag to every level (raw volume plus the multiple vs. the recent average, e.g. "340k (2.3x)"). Equal pools also show how many times that price has been touched (e.g. "EQH x3"). Turn this off for a cleaner look with just the lines and BSL/SSL/EQH/EQL tags.
Liquidity Sweep group
- Show Sweep Markers — turns on the small marker that appears the moment a level is swept.
- Enable Volume Filter — when on, a sweep is only confirmed if the candle that caused it traded on unusually high volume, filtering out weak/low-conviction wicks.
- Volume Multiplier vs. Average — how many times above the average volume that candle must trade to confirm a sweep. Only used when the Volume Filter above is on.
- Volume Lookback (bars) — how many past candles are averaged together to calculate that "average volume" baseline.
- Swept Level Color — the color a level turns once it has been taken, so already-used levels are still visible but clearly distinguished from live ones.
Higher-Timeframe Liquidity (PDH / PDL / PWH / PWL) group
- Show Previous Day High / Low — turns on tracking of yesterday's high and low as full liquidity levels (works on intraday charts only).
- Show Previous Week High / Low — turns on tracking of last week's high and low the same way (works on intraday and daily charts).
- Prev Day (PDH / PDL) Color / Prev Week (PWH / PWL) Color.
- HTF Line Width — thickness of these lines. Thicker by default than regular swing levels, since they're generally the more important reference points.
Labels group
- Show Level Labels — master switch for all the small text tags (BSL / SSL / EQH / EQL) shown on each level.
- Label Size — Tiny, Small, or Normal text size for those tags.

Key Features
Non-repainting signals
Higher-timeframe trend confirmation
Liquidity sweep detection
MSS/BOS confirmation using candle closes
Automatic Fair Value Gap detection
Session filter (London & New York)
ATR volatility filter
Built-in risk management
Break-even automation after TP1
Runner management for extended trends
Strategy Tester compatible
The strategy is designed for traders who value patience and precision over constant market participation. By waiting for multiple confirmations to align, it seeks to reduce false entries while maintaining favorable risk-to-reward opportunities.
Best suited for: Gold (XAUUSD), major Forex pairs, and indices on lower timeframes such as 1M, 3M, and 5M.
As with any trading strategy, no setup guarantees profits. Proper risk management, disciplined execution, and thorough testing are essential before using it with live capital. 전략
Fair Value Gap (FVG) Supply & Demand Zones [JPT]🔷 OVERVIEW
Fair Value Gap (FVG) Supply & Demand Zones is a market structure indicator that automatically detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) together with Supply and Demand Zones to help traders identify potential areas where price may react.
The indicator continuously scans price action for imbalance formations and plots dynamic zones directly on the chart. When price revisits these areas, the indicator highlights potential reaction zones while displaying LONG and SHORT signals based on its programmed logic.
Designed with a clean visual layout, the indicator helps traders monitor market structure without manually drawing imbalance or supply and demand zones.
🔷 HOW IT WORKS
The indicator continuously analyzes price action to identify market imbalances and institutional trading zones.
When qualifying conditions are met, it automatically:
• Detects Bullish Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
• Detects Bearish Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
• Identifies Demand Zones
• Identifies Supply Zones
• Tracks active zones until they are mitigated
• Displays LONG and SHORT signals according to the indicator's programmed conditions
• Updates zones dynamically as new market structure develops
This provides traders with a structured view of areas where price may revisit before continuing or changing direction.
📈 Bullish Demand Setup
1. A bullish imbalance creates a Fair Value Gap.
2. A Demand Zone is established.
3. Price retraces into the zone.
4. The indicator highlights the area and may display a LONG signal when its programmed conditions are satisfied.
📉 Bearish Supply Setup
1. A bearish imbalance creates a Fair Value Gap.
2. A Supply Zone is established.
3. Price revisits the supply area.
4. The indicator highlights the zone and may display a SHORT signal when its programmed conditions are satisfied.
📊 Dynamic Market Structure

FCPO Kental (SMC)Title: FCPO Kental (SMC)
Description:
An all-in-one price overlay for intraday traders, tuned with FCPO (Bursa Malaysia crude palm oil futures) in mind but usable on any symbol or timeframe. It combines market-structure detection (CHoCH/BOS), Fair Value Gaps, auto-Fibonacci from the active swing, and key reference levels (previous day/week high & low, plus daily/weekly/monthly opens) into one clean layout so you can read confluence at a glance.
Suggested workflow
Establish the trend first. Use your own trendlines, channels, or higher-timeframe read to decide if price is trending up, down, or ranging. This tool supports your read — it doesn't replace it.
Trade structure with the trend. Watch CHoCH (change of character) and BOS (break of structure). Favour signals that agree with the trend you identified; treat counter-trend shifts with caution.
Use FVG as the entry zone. Fair Value Gaps mark imbalance left by aggressive moves, and price often revisits them. A FVG that lines up with your trend and a fresh structure shift is a candidate entry area.
Read the auto-Fibonacci for premium/discount. Drawn automatically from the live swing: the 0.5 and 0.618 levels mark a healthy discount zone (favourable entries), while the -0.618 extension acts as a take-profit reference.
Best confluence: trend + structure shift + a FVG sitting inside the 0.5–0.618 discount, targeting the -0.618 extension.
Features
Auto CHoCH & BOS with body/wick break option and adjustable history
Bullish/bearish FVG with mitigation tracking, auto-cleanup, and alerts
Auto-Fibonacci from the active swing (five configurable levels, incl. 0.5/0.618 discount and -0.618 target)
Reference levels: PDH/PDL, PWH/PWL, daily/weekly/monthly opens — each toggleable
Modular master switches per block, with full colour/style control
Alerts: BOS, CHoCH, FVG mitigation
Scope
This is a discretionary analysis tool — not a strategy. It does not place orders or produce backtest statistics. Order-flow elements (footprint, delta, absorption) are intentionally not included, as they can't be computed reliably in Pine.
Credits & license
Market-structure & FVG logic is based on the open-source "SMC Structures and FVG" by LudoGH68 (Mozilla Public License 2.0). The PDH/PDL and opens levels are adapted from an open-source community script. Published under MPL-2.0 in keeping with the original license.

Advanced Liquidity Sweep [HexaTrades]Advanced Liquidity Sweep is a Smart Money Concepts (SMC) indicator designed to automatically identify liquidity pools, equal highs and lows, liquidity sweeps, and potential reversal areas. Rather than simply detecting wick breaks, it evaluates each sweep using multiple confirmation factors and assigns a strength score, helping traders distinguish between minor stop hunts and higher-quality liquidity events.
The indicator is designed for cryptocurrencies, stocks, forex, futures, commodities, and indices across all timeframes.
What is Liquidity?
Financial markets constantly search for liquidity before making significant moves.
Retail traders often place:
• Stop losses below swing lows
• Stop losses above swing highs
• Breakout orders above resistance
• Breakdown orders below support
These orders accumulate into liquidity pools. Large market participants frequently move prices into these areas to fill large positions before reversing or continuing the trend.
This indicator automatically identifies those liquidity pools and highlights when they are swept.
How it works :
- Map the liquidity.: Confirmed pivot highs become BSL lines, pivot lows become SSL lines. You choose Major and/or Minor swing sizes.
- Cluster equal highs/lows. Several highs (or lows) at nearly the same price form an EQH / EQL cluster, a bigger, juicier liquidity pool that scores higher.
- Detect the sweep (on closed candles only).
• Bearish: price trades above a BSL level but closes back below it.
• Bullish: price trades below an SSL level but closes back above it.
- Score it 0–100. Six factors rate how convincing the rejection was (see below). At/above your Strong threshold, it’s tagged STRONG.
- Draw a sweep zone. Optionally turn each sweep into a supply/demand zone you can watch for re-entry, with optional auto-expiry.
- Filter the noise. Optional Trend, Higher-Timeframe and Filter presets keep only the cleaner grabs.
Features
🔶 Major & Minor Swing Detection
The indicator detects both major and minor swing highs and lows.
Major swings represent stronger institutional liquidity and usually produce higher-quality reactions.
Minor swings identify shorter-term liquidity that is commonly targeted during intraday trading.
Users can monitor:
• Major swings only
• Minor swings only
• Both simultaneously
🔶Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL)
Buy-side liquidity forms above previous swing highs.
These areas usually contain:
• Short stop losses
• Breakout buy orders
• Momentum entries
When price trades above these highs before quickly closing back below, the indicator identifies a bearish liquidity sweep.
🔶 Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL)
Sell-side liquidity forms below previous swing lows.
These areas usually contain:
• Long stop losses
• Panic selling
• Breakdown entries
When price trades below these lows before closing back above, the indicator identifies a bullish liquidity sweep.
🔶 Equal Highs & Equal Lows
Equal highs and equal lows are some of the strongest liquidity pools because many traders place stops at nearly identical price levels.
The indicator automatically detects these structures using:
• ATR-based tolerance
• Percentage-based tolerance
Equal liquidity levels are highlighted separately and tracked independently from normal swing liquidity.
🔶 Zone Colors
Here are the zone and line colors used in this indicator and what each one means:
🔴 Red: Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL)
- Represents swing highs where buy-side liquidity is concentrated.
- Commonly contains short stop-loss orders and breakout buy orders.
- These are active, unswept liquidity levels and potential targets for a bearish liquidity sweep.
🟢 Green: Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL)
- Represents swing lows where sell-side liquidity is concentrated.
- Commonly contains long stop-loss orders and breakdown sell orders.
- These are active, unswept liquidity levels and potential targets for a bullish liquidity sweep.
🟠 Orange: Equal Highs / Equal Lows (EQH / EQL)
- Marks two or more highs or lows formed at nearly the same price.
- These levels are displayed using dashed lines and often contain larger clusters of resting liquidity.
- Sweeps of Equal Highs and Equal Lows typically produce stronger, higher-probability trading opportunities.
⚪ Gray: Swept (Inactive) Liquidity
- Indicates liquidity that has already been swept by price.
- Once a level has been taken, it changes to gray and becomes inactive.
- This helps distinguish spent liquidity from active levels that may still attract future price movement.
Sweep Signal Colors
🟩 Bullish Liquidity Sweep
-Appears when Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) or an Equal Low (EQL) is swept.
-Price trades below the liquidity level but closes back above it, confirming a bullish liquidity sweep.
🟪 Bearish Liquidity Sweep
- Appears when Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) or an Equal High (EQH ) is swept.
- Price trades above the liquidity level but closes back below it, confirming a bearish liquidity sweep.
🔶 Liquidity Sweep Detection
A liquidity sweep occurs when price temporarily breaks a liquidity level but fails to hold beyond it.
For a valid sweep:
Bearish Sweep
• Price trades above Buy-Side Liquidity
• The candle closes back below the level
Bullish Sweep
• Price trades below Sell-Side Liquidity
• The candle closes back above the level
Because the signal is generated only after the candle closes, the indicator does not repaint.
🔶Sweep Strength Score
Every sweep receives a strength score from 0 to 100.
The score combines multiple factors including:
• Wick rejection
• Candle body strength
• Penetration distance beyond liquidity
• Volume confirmation
• Distance from the EMA
• Equal High / Equal Low cluster strength
Higher scores generally indicate stronger liquidity events.
Strength tiers are classified as: Weak, Medium, Strong, and Elite
Users can also define a minimum score to filter out lower-quality sweeps.
🔶 Score Presets
Three scoring profiles are available:
Conservative: Places greater emphasis on clean rejection candles and body structure.
Balanced: Provides an even weighting across all scoring components and is suitable for most trading styles.
Aggressive: Places greater importance on volume and equal liquidity clusters, making it more responsive to institutional activity.
🔶 Trend & Higher Timeframe Filters
The indicator includes optional trend confirmation filters to help improve signal quality.
The Trend Filter uses the EMA 50 and EMA 200 to evaluate the current market direction and offers two modes:
Continuation : Displays only sweeps that align with the prevailing trend.
Reversal : Displays only sweeps that occur against the prevailing trend, helping identify potential market reversals.
For additional confirmation, the Higher Timeframe (HTF) Bias Filter compares price with a higher timeframe EMA. When enabled, sweeps are generated only if they align with the broader market trend, helping reduce false signals and improving overall trade selection.
🔶 Liquidity & Sweep Zones
The indicator provides two complementary ways to visualize liquidity on the chart.
Liquidity Zones highlight swing highs and lows as either horizontal lines, price zones, or both, making it easier to identify areas where liquidity is likely to accumulate. Users can choose between Lines Only, Zones Only, or Both to match their preferred chart style.
When a liquidity sweep occurs, the indicator automatically creates a Sweep Zone around the rejection candle. These zones can be extended into the future, automatically removed after a user-defined period, or kept indefinitely. Sweep zones often serve as potential support or resistance areas, making them useful for identifying future reaction zones, retests, and trade opportunities.
⭐️ Bullish Liquidity Sweep
Price sweeps below the Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL), triggering stop-loss orders before quickly reversing and closing back above the liquidity level. The Sweep Zone acts as a potential support area, while the strength score helps evaluate the quality of the setup. Traders may look for long opportunities on the confirmation or retest, targeting the next Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL).
Example:
⭐️Bearish Liquidity Sweep
Price sweeps above Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL), triggering breakout orders and stop-losses before reversing and closing back below the liquidity level. The Sweep Zone acts as a potential resistance area, while the strength score helps evaluate the quality of the setup. Traders may look for short opportunities on the rejection or retest, targeting the next Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL

Alerts
Built-in alert conditions include:
• Bullish Liquidity Sweep
• Bearish Liquidity Sweep
• Equal High Sweep
• Equal Low Sweep
• Strong Bullish Sweep
• Strong Bearish Sweep
• Next-Candle Confirmed Sweep
• Any Liquidity Sweep
These alerts allow traders to automate notifications without monitoring charts continuously.
How to Use
The Advanced Liquidity Sweep indicator helps identify where liquidity exists, when it has been swept, and how strong the resulting market reaction is. For the best results, combine it with market structure, support and resistance, and proper risk management.
Bullish Setup:
- Wait for price to sweep a Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) level.
- The candle should close back above the liquidity level, confirming a bullish sweep.
- Prefer Medium, Strong, or Elite sweep scores for higher-quality setups.
- Use the Trend Filter or Higher Timeframe Bias Filter for additional confirmation.
- Watch for a retest of the Sweep Zone before considering a long entry.
-Place the stop-loss below the sweep low and target nearby resistance or Buy-Side Liquidity.
Bearish Setup:
- Wait for price to sweep a Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) level.
- The candle should close back below the liquidity level, confirming a bearish sweep.
- Focus on higher-strength sweep scores for better probability.
- Confirm the setup using the Trend or Higher Timeframe filters.
- Look for rejection from the Sweep Zone before entering a short position.
- Place the stop-loss above the sweep high and target nearby support or Sell-Side Liquidity.
Advanced Liquidity Sweep is designed to help traders understand where liquidity exists, identify when it has been taken, and evaluate the quality of each sweep using multiple confirmation factors. Rather than relying on simple wick breaks, it combines liquidity analysis, market structure, trend confirmation, and strength scoring to provide greater context for trading decisions. As with any technical tool, it should be used alongside sound risk management and additional market analysis for the best results.

Adaptive Smart Money Liquidity Sweep Levels [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
Adaptive Smart Money Liquidity Levels tracks liquidity resting above and below price by detecting swing highs and lows across multiple lookback periods. Instead of displaying every historical level equally, it stores active liquidity zones, updates them over time, and removes them once price mitigates them.
The indicator also estimates the amount of liquidity accumulated around nearby levels using traded volume. This information is displayed through level opacity, a near-range liquidity balance chart, and an orderbook-style liquidity depth profile to provide context around where liquidity is concentrated.
🟠 CONCEPTS
Liquidity Level — Swing highs and swing lows detected from fast, medium, and slow lookback windows. Nearby levels are merged together to reduce duplicate levels. These levels are used to estimate the location of stop-loss orders, and volume + candle direction are used to estimate the buying/selling (and thus concentration of stop-loss orders) to determine the magnitude of orders at these levels.
Liquidity Depth — Volume is assigned to the nearest active liquidity levels based on candle direction and configurable distance weighting. The accumulated volume forms a depth profile around current price.
Mass Liquidation — Triggered when a candle body moves through two or more active liquidity levels on the same side, indicating multiple liquidity pools were cleared within a single move.
Stop-runs and Liquidity Dynamics — This script takes advantage of the concept of resting limit orders, and resting stop-loss orders. When a bar wicks a liquidity level instead of strongly trading through it, it implies a stronger amount of opposing pressure from both limit and market-orders than the pressure coming from clustered stop-losses, preventing a stop run and signalling a higher chance of that level holding and potentially a rebound. In simple terms, this indicator can be used as part of ICT and Smart Monet Concepts to help better understand a real liquidity sweep (marked by ▲▼) vs liquidation events (marked by highlighted candles) as both events usually require vastly different actions to capitalize on correctly.
🟠 FEATURES
Adaptive Liquidity Levels . Displays the nearest active liquidity above and below price.
• Level opacity increases as more volume accumulates.
• Levels automatically disappear after mitigation or when they exceed the selected maximum age.
• Levels represent accumulating stop loss orders as more trades occur (using volume and candle direction to estimate market orders)
Near Range Liquidity Balance . Shows the relative liquidity accumulated of the 3 nearest levels above and below current price using a two-column comparison chart.
Liquidity Depth Curve . Draws an orderbook-style cumulative depth profile beside price to visualize how liquidity builds further away from the current market.
Liquidation And Sweep Signals . Highlights candles that clear multiple liquidity levels and marks wick-only liquidity sweeps with directional markers.
🟠 HOW TO USE
Monitor liquidation labels and wick sweep markers to distinguish between full liquidity removals and liquidity that was only briefly tested. Liquidity removals imply weak levels while those that were wicked imply strong concentration of limit orders, useful for planning where to place stop losses or to time trade entries.
Watch the nearest liquidity levels to identify where resting liquidity is currently concentrated around price.
Compare the Near Range Liquidity Balance to see whether more liquidity is currently stacked above or below the market.
Use the Liquidity Depth Curve to estimate how liquidity changes as price moves further away from its current location.
🟠 CONCLUSION
Adaptive Smart Money Liquidity Levels combines multi-scale liquidity detection, volume-weighted liquidity accumulation, and mitigation tracking into a single view. By displaying active liquidity, nearby liquidity balance, and cumulative liquidity depth together, it provides additional context for where price is interacting with resting stop orders and how that structure changes over time. A key detail to note is that this script estimates the position and concentration of orders with proxies like swing levels and volume, and that the levels represent stop-loss orders, not limit orders. 지표

Liquidity Magnet ICT Liquidity & Sweeps [LunqFX]Liquidity Magnet is an ICT / Smart Money Concepts (SMC) liquidity indicator that maps buy-side and sell-side liquidity (BSL / SSL) and ranks every liquidity pool by how likely it is to be swept next. Instead of just drawing equal highs, equal lows and swing liquidity, it scores each resting pool of liquidity with a transparent 0–100 "Magnet Score" and highlights the single strongest draw on price as the NEXT TARGET — so you can anticipate the next liquidity sweep, stop hunt or liquidity grab before it happens.
If you trade ICT concepts, order flow, smart money, or supply and demand, this tool answers the one question every liquidity-based strategy needs: where is price most likely to go to take liquidity next?
WHAT IT DOES
• Detects liquidity pools automatically — swing highs / lows and equal highs / equal lows (EQH / EQL) where stop-losses cluster.
• Scores each pool 0–100 with the Magnet Score, a transparent weighted formula.
• Flags the strongest pool as the NEXT TARGET with a live arrow, price and probability.
• Marks pools as swept the moment price closes through them, then fades them.
• Shows a clean live dashboard: next target, probability, distance, bias and pool counts.
• Recolors the chart with neon gradient candles (turquoise bullish / violet bearish).
HOW THE MAGNET SCORE WORKS
The Magnet Score is fully transparent — no black box. Each unswept pool is graded on four weighted factors:
1. Proximity — how close the pool sits to current price (closer pulls harder).
2. Momentum — whether current momentum is moving toward the pool.
3. Age — how long the pool has rested untouched (older pools hold more liquidity).
4. Touches — how many times price has tagged the level (more taps = more stops stacked).
The four factors are combined into a single 0–100 score. The pool with the highest score, within a maximum distance from price, becomes the NEXT TARGET. If no pool is strong or close enough, the panel honestly reports "No clear magnet" instead of inventing a far-away target.
HOW TO USE IT
1. Read the BIAS in the panel — BUY-SIDE PULL means liquidity above is the draw (look for longs into the target); SELL-SIDE PULL means liquidity below is the draw (look for shorts).
2. Find the NEXT TARGET — the highlighted pool is where price is most likely to sweep liquidity next. Use it as a logical take-profit / objective.
3. Check the PROBABILITY bar — higher score = stronger magnet. Weak scores mean price is in a low-liquidity void; be patient.
4. Watch DISTANCE — how far the target is in %. Tight distance = an immediate objective; large distance = a swing objective.
5. Trade the sweep — as price reaches a pool and sweeps it, watch for the reaction. Swept pools fade automatically so the chart always shows live, unmitigated liquidity only.
Tip: combine the NEXT TARGET with your own entry model (FVG, order block, market structure). Liquidity Magnet tells you WHERE liquidity sits and which pool is the draw — you choose the entry.
THE DASHBOARD
• NEXT TARGET — price of the strongest liquidity pool and its probability.
• Probability bar — visual 0–100 strength of the current magnet.
• Distance — % distance from price to the target.
• Touches — how many times the target level was tested.
• Bias — overall liquidity pull (buy-side vs sell-side).
• Buy-side / Sell-side pools — count of active unmitigated pools on each side.
NON-REPAINTING
All liquidity pools are built from confirmed pivots (a fixed lookback of closed bars), and every sweep is confirmed on closed bars only — barstate.isconfirmed. Scores and visuals are display-side and never rewrite history. No request.security, no lookahead, no future leak. What you see is what actually happened.
SETTINGS
Liquidity Engine
• Swing length — pivot lookback; higher = only major swings become pools.
• Equal-level tolerance — how close two highs/lows must be (in ATR) to merge into one pool and count as a touch.
• Max pools per side — cap on active pools above and below.
• Max pool age — pools older than this are removed.
Magnet Score
• Proximity range, Momentum lookback / range — sensitivity of the score factors.
• Weights: proximity / age / touches / momentum — fully customizable scoring.
• Min score to flag target — hide weak magnets below this score.
• Max target distance % — a pool farther than this can never be the NEXT TARGET.
Neon Candles
• Neon gradient candles on/off, Glow halo on/off.
Panel
• Show panel, position, background / text / accent colors.
BEST USED ON
Forex, Gold (XAUUSD), indices, crypto and stocks. Works on all timeframes; intraday (15m–4H) is ideal for liquidity sweeps, higher timeframes for swing objectives.

FVG Retest Entry Engine [trade_w_samet]🎯 FVG Retest Entry Engine
FVG Retest Entry Engine is a structured Fair Value Gap retest analysis indicator designed to help traders study confirmed gap reactions, structure alignment, filtered entry conditions, and multi-target visual trade models directly on the price chart.
This script focuses on one main concept:
FVG retest-based entry visualization.
It is not designed to be a simple buy/sell signal generator.
It is not designed to show every possible Fair Value Gap.
It is not designed to create constant chart noise.
Instead, the goal of FVG Retest Entry Engine is to detect confirmed structure events, identify eligible Fair Value Gaps, monitor their retests, apply configurable quality checkpoints, and visualize accepted setups using one entry level, one protective stop, and three take-profit levels.
The indicator includes:
• Bullish and bearish market-structure detection
• BOS and CHoCH classification
• Three-candle Fair Value Gap detection
• Internal FVG memory and invalidation handling
• Structure-linked FVG candidate selection
• FVG quality scoring and setup grading
• Armed-zone retest monitoring
• Multiple retest confirmation models
• Volume, Directional Force, and confirmed HTF bias filters
• FVG Retest Passport
• Blocker Lens state reporting
• Confirmed-close signal commitment
• Optional Live Preview dashboard state
• Gap-protected and ATR-based stop-loss models
• TP1, TP2, and TP3 risk-multiple projections
• Optional breakeven movement after TP1
• Active and historical TP / SL areas
• Executed FVG retest zones
• One-active-trade-at-a-time logic
• Mobile chart layout
• Multiple visual themes
• Advanced entry and lifecycle alerts
• JSON webhook support
• Compact bottom-right dashboard
The purpose of this script is to help users visually study where a structure event and an eligible Fair Value Gap combine with a confirmed retest condition.
It should be treated as a chart-analysis and educational decision-support tool.
It is not financial advice.
It is not an automated trading system.
It does not guarantee profitable trades.
It does not execute broker orders.
It does not replace personal analysis, risk management, or trade validation.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📌 OVERVIEW
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
At a high level, FVG Retest Entry Engine does the following:
• Detects confirmed bullish and bearish structure breaks.
• Classifies structure events as BOS or CHoCH.
• Detects bullish and bearish three-candle Fair Value Gaps.
• Stores valid FVG zones in internal memory.
• Tracks zone direction, boundaries, age, displacement, volume context, and prior interactions.
• Searches for an eligible FVG after a matching structure event.
• Scores and ranks available FVG candidates.
• Arms the best available zone for retest monitoring.
• Waits for the selected minimum retest delay.
• Detects the selected FVG retest pattern.
• Evaluates reaction quality and optional confluence filters.
• Assigns a setup grade such as A+, A, B, or FILTERED.
• Confirms final entry conditions only when the chart candle closes.
• Draws one Entry, one SL, and three TP levels.
• Tracks TP1, TP2, TP3, stop-loss, and breakeven events.
• Allows only one active trade projection at a time.
• Keeps completed trade areas when historical display is enabled.
• Marks completed models as bullish or bearish FVG Retest outcomes.
• Displays the current bias, engine state, and active levels in the dashboard.
• Provides entry, armed-zone, target, stop, breakeven, and webhook alert options.
The script is intentionally built as a structured process.
It does not include machine-learning prediction.
It does not include guaranteed performance claims.
It does not attempt to forecast every future market movement.
It provides a transparent way to study structure-linked FVG retests and their projected trade lifecycle.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧠 CORE IDEA
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The core idea behind FVG Retest Entry Engine is based on the relationship between market structure and Fair Value Gap reactions.
A Fair Value Gap represents a three-candle price imbalance.
A bullish FVG is formed when the current candle’s low is above the high from two candles earlier.
A bearish FVG is formed when the current candle’s high is below the low from two candles earlier.
The script does not treat every FVG as an entry.
Instead, it waits for a confirmed structure event and then searches for an eligible FVG that matches that directional context.
The selected FVG becomes an armed zone.
Price must later return to that zone and satisfy the chosen retest condition.
The engine can then evaluate:
• gap size relative to ATR
• formation displacement
• formation volume context
• FVG age
• prior zone interactions
• structure-break quality
• retest depth
• reaction-candle quality
• volume participation
• DI / ADX directional force
• confirmed higher-timeframe bias
• minimum setup grade
The goal is not to show more signals.
The goal is to create a documented and understandable process from structure event to confirmed FVG retest model.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧩 WHY THIS SCRIPT IS NOT A SIMPLE BUY/SELL INDICATOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
FVG Retest Entry Engine is not intended to be used as a blind buy/sell system.
The script is structured as a visual review workflow:
Structure event is confirmed
→ matching FVG candidates are reviewed
→ one eligible FVG is selected
→ the FVG becomes armed
→ price returns to the armed zone
→ the retest pattern is checked
→ reaction quality is evaluated
→ enabled filters are checked
→ the setup receives a grade
→ the candle must close with all conditions still valid
→ Entry, SL, TP1, TP2, and TP3 are projected
→ the active model is monitored
→ the model closes at TP3, stop loss, targets complete, or breakeven
→ the completed FVG Retest model is archived visually
Each part has a specific purpose.
The structure system identifies a directional event.
The FVG memory system stores imbalance zones.
The candidate-ranking system selects a relevant gap instead of using every gap.
The armed-zone system separates observation from entry.
The retest logic defines what qualifies as a valid return.
The quality checkpoints reduce setups that fail enabled conditions.
The grading system summarizes internal setup quality.
The entry model provides visual planning levels.
The stop model creates a consistent risk reference.
The three-target model provides staged reward references.
The Blocker Lens explains the current engine state.
The Passport explains why an accepted setup qualified.
The alert system supports monitoring of confirmed events.
This makes the script a structured FVG retest analysis tool, not a guaranteed trade signal generator.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚙️ HOW THE SCRIPT WORKS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script operates through several connected stages.
First, it identifies confirmed swing highs and swing lows.
Price breaking a confirmed swing level can create a bullish or bearish structure event.
The break may be classified as BOS when it continues the current structure bias or CHoCH when it changes that bias.
The engine separately detects three-candle Fair Value Gaps and stores their contextual information.
bool tws_bullish_fvg = bar_index >= 2 and low > high
bool tws_bearish_fvg = bar_index >= 2 and high < low
float tws_bullish_fvg_top = low
float tws_bullish_fvg_bottom = high
float tws_bearish_fvg_top = low
float tws_bearish_fvg_bottom = high
float tws_bullish_fvg_size = tws_bullish_fvg_top - tws_bullish_fvg_bottom
float tws_bearish_fvg_size = tws_bearish_fvg_top - tws_bearish_fvg_bottom
When a structure event occurs, the engine reviews matching FVG candidates within the selected distance and timing limits.
The available candidates are compared using the active profile’s rules.
The selected zone becomes armed and remains under observation until:
• a confirmed retest creates an entry
• the setup expires
• the FVG is invalidated
• another structure search replaces it
Once price interacts with the armed zone, the selected retest model and reaction-quality conditions are checked.
Volume, DI / ADX, and higher-timeframe bias can also be required.
Only a setup that passes the active rules and remains valid at candle close can create a permanent entry model.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔵 BULLISH FVG RETEST LOGIC
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A bullish FVG Retest setup begins with bullish structure context.
The script requires a confirmed bullish BOS or CHoCH event and then searches for a directionally matching FVG candidate.
The selected zone must remain valid while the engine waits for price to return.
Depending on the chosen profile and retest model, bullish confirmation may require:
• wick contact with the zone
• real-body contact
• a close inside the zone
• a bullish reaction reclaim
• directional recovery above the zone midpoint
• a close above the relevant FVG edge
• a bullish rejection wick
The engine may then check:
• reaction strength
• volume participation
• positive DI dominance
• minimum ADX strength
• confirmed bullish HTF alignment
• minimum accepted grade
When every enabled condition remains valid at candle close, the script creates:
• a bullish FVG RETEST label
• an executed FVG retest box
• an entry reference at the confirmation close
• a protective stop below the setup reference
• TP1, TP2, and TP3 above entry
• blue reward visualization
• red risk visualization
This does not mean price must continue upward.
It means the script detected a bullish FVG retest condition that satisfied the selected rules at the time of confirmation.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔴 BEARISH FVG RETEST LOGIC
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A bearish FVG Retest setup begins with bearish structure context.
The script requires a confirmed bearish BOS or CHoCH event and then searches for a directionally matching FVG candidate.
The selected zone must remain valid while the engine waits for price to return.
Depending on the chosen profile and retest model, bearish confirmation may require:
• wick contact with the zone
• real-body contact
• a close inside the zone
• a bearish reaction reclaim
• directional recovery below the zone midpoint
• a close below the relevant FVG edge
• a bearish rejection wick
The engine may then check:
• reaction strength
• volume participation
• negative DI dominance
• minimum ADX strength
• confirmed bearish HTF alignment
• minimum accepted grade
When every enabled condition remains valid at candle close, the script creates:
• a bearish FVG RETEST label
• an executed FVG retest box
• an entry reference at the confirmation close
• a protective stop above the setup reference
• TP1, TP2, and TP3 below entry
• blue reward visualization
• red risk visualization
This does not mean price must continue downward.
It means the script detected a bearish FVG retest condition that satisfied the selected rules at the time of confirmation.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💎 FVG QUALITY FILTER SYSTEM
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script includes a multi-layer FVG quality system to reduce unnecessary chart signals.
This is important because not every gap has the same context and not every retest should create an entry model.
The quality system may evaluate:
• minimum gap size relative to ATR
• displacement of the formation candle
• gap location inside the recent dealing range
• formation-volume context
• gap age
• previous interactions with the zone
• distance from the matching structure event
• structure-break strength
• reaction-candle strength
• volume participation on retest
• DI / ADX directional force
• confirmed HTF bias
• final setup grade
The exact behavior depends on the selected Engine Style.
Original Sync uses the first validated calibration and star-based acceptance logic.
Balanced Flow uses moderate filtering.
Precision Flow applies stricter FVG and retest requirements.
Fast Flow accepts more active conditions.
Position Flow uses wider structural and timing windows.
Custom Lab exposes the advanced thresholds for manual configuration.
The filter system does not guarantee better future outcomes.
It controls how selective the engine is before creating a confirmed visual model.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📏 GAP / ATR FILTER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The gap-width filter measures the detected FVG against ATR.
This helps the engine reject extremely small imbalance zones relative to current market volatility.
A higher minimum gap-width value makes FVG storage and candidate selection more selective.
A lower value allows smaller gaps to enter the internal memory.
The filter is volatility-adjusted because the same absolute price distance can have different meaning across symbols and timeframes.
The active threshold depends on the chosen profile or Custom Lab value.
A larger gap is not automatically a better setup.
Gap size is only one component of the complete selection and retest process.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🕯️ DISPLACEMENT QUALITY FILTER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The displacement filter evaluates the directional body of the candle associated with FVG formation.
The formation body is compared with ATR and converted into a bounded internal score.
This helps the script distinguish a stronger directional imbalance from a gap created during weak or narrow price action.
When the Gap Impulse Check is enabled, an FVG must satisfy the selected displacement threshold before it is stored as a valid candidate.
A higher threshold reduces the number of eligible FVGs.
A lower threshold accepts more moderate formations.
The displacement score is an internal quality measurement.
It does not predict whether the zone will hold in the future.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📊 REACTION STRENGTH FILTER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The reaction-strength filter evaluates the candle that interacts with the armed FVG.
The score can include:
• close location inside the candle
• directional wick quality
• body size relative to ATR
• bullish or bearish candle direction
• penetration depth inside the FVG
The purpose is to separate a basic touch from a more structured directional response.
A higher minimum reaction-strength value requires a clearer response from the zone.
A lower value accepts more retest conditions.
Original Sync can use its original reaction logic without the same adaptive score requirement.
The reaction score is not a win probability.
It is a standardized way to evaluate whether the retest candle matches the selected profile’s quality requirements.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧼 CONFIRMED RETEST FILTER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The confirmed-retest layer requires price to satisfy the active retest model and remain valid at candle close.
Available Original Sync reaction patterns include:
• Any Wick Contact
• Real Body Contact
• Close Within Gap
• Reaction Reclaim
Available adaptive reaction models include:
• First Contact
• Directional Recovery
• Edge Reclaim
• Rejection Wick
First Contact accepts basic interaction with the zone.
Directional Recovery requires directional behavior after the interaction.
Edge Reclaim requires price to close through the relevant boundary.
Rejection Wick applies a stricter wick-and-close response.
The script can also use an interaction margin to tolerate minor boundary differences.
A minimum delay prevents the engine from confirming a retest too soon after the structure event.
An expiry window prevents stale armed zones from producing entries too far from their original context.
Final entry commitment remains bar-close based.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 ENTRY MODEL
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
When an armed FVG retest passes all enabled conditions, the script creates a visual entry model.
The entry reference is the close of the candle that confirms the retest.
Permanent entries, labels, boxes, and entry alerts are committed only after candle close.
tws_preview_ready := tws_eval_zone_touched and tws_eval_reaction_pass and tws_direction_filters_pass and tws_eval_grade_pass
bool tws_confirmed_entry = tws_preview_ready and barstate.isconfirmed
if tws_confirmed_entry
tws_long_signal := tws_armed_direction == 1
tws_short_signal := tws_armed_direction == -1
tws_entry_event := true
tws_trade_active := true
tws_trade_direction := tws_armed_direction
tws_trade_open_bar := bar_index
tws_trade_entry := close
Confirmed Close mode waits for the candle to finish before the dashboard treats the setup as an entry.
Live Preview can show that current conditions are ready while the realtime candle is still open.
The preview may change intrabar because the candle is unfinished.
It does not create a permanent historical entry model unless the setup remains valid when the candle closes.
The entry is a visual analysis reference.
It is not a broker order and does not require the user to enter a trade.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🛑 ATR STOP-LOSS MODEL
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script includes two stop-placement models.
Gap-Protected Stop uses the selected FVG boundary plus an ATR-based protective buffer.
For bullish setups, the stop is projected below the FVG.
For bearish setups, the stop is projected above the FVG.
Volatility Stop projects the stop at an ATR multiple from entry.
A minimum stop-distance percentage can prevent extremely narrow visual stops.
float tws_raw_stop =
tws_stop_mode == "Gap-Protected Stop" ?
(
tws_trade_direction == 1 ?
tws_armed_bottom - tws_atr * tws_fvg_stop_buffer_atr :
tws_armed_top + tws_atr * tws_fvg_stop_buffer_atr
) :
(
tws_trade_direction == 1 ?
tws_trade_entry - tws_atr * tws_atr_stop_multiplier :
tws_trade_entry + tws_atr * tws_atr_stop_multiplier
)
float tws_raw_stop_distance = math.abs(tws_trade_entry - tws_raw_stop)
float tws_guaranteed_distance = tws_trade_entry * tws_minimum_stop_percent / 100.0
float tws_final_stop_distance = math.max(tws_raw_stop_distance, tws_guaranteed_distance)
ATR is used because volatility changes across markets and timeframes.
A wider stop changes the projected risk distance and therefore also changes all three target levels.
The displayed SL is a visual planning level only.
It does not place or manage a real broker stop order.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 TAKE-PROFIT RR MODEL
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script uses three take-profit levels.
Each target is calculated from the distance between entry and the original stop.
float tws_trade_risk = math.abs(tws_trade_entry - tws_trade_original_stop)
tws_trade_tp1 := tws_trade_direction == 1 ? tws_trade_entry + tws_trade_risk * tws_tp1_r : tws_trade_entry - tws_trade_risk * tws_tp1_r
tws_trade_tp2 := tws_trade_direction == 1 ? tws_trade_entry + tws_trade_risk * tws_tp2_r : tws_trade_entry - tws_trade_risk * tws_tp2_r
tws_trade_tp3 := tws_trade_direction == 1 ? tws_trade_entry + tws_trade_risk * tws_tp3_r : tws_trade_entry - tws_trade_risk * tws_tp3_r
The default concept is:
TP1 = first risk-multiple target
TP2 = second risk-multiple target
TP3 = final risk-multiple target
The exact R values can be adjusted in Position Architecture.
The script also contains visual position-share percentages for TP1, TP2, and TP3.
These shares are used by the internal lifecycle model.
They do not represent a broker account, real position size, or verified financial performance.
The RR settings only control projected visual distances.
They should not be interpreted as recommendations or guaranteed objectives.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📦 ACTIVE TP / SL BOX SYSTEM
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
When a confirmed FVG Retest entry appears, the script can draw a complete visual trade model.
The visual model includes:
• executed FVG retest zone
• entry line
• original stop line
• active stop line
• TP1 line
• TP2 line
• TP3 line
• red risk box
• blue reward box
• Entry price label
• SL price label
• TP1, TP2, and TP3 price labels
• bullish or bearish entry label
The active boxes extend to the right while the model is open.
When the model closes, the right edge is fixed at the closing candle.
If Keep Completed Trade Areas is enabled, completed boxes and lines remain visible for historical review.
The Completed Trade History Limit controls how many previous visual models are retained.
The TP area uses a blue-toned visual palette.
TP price labels use a different, darker background so they remain distinct from the reward box.
The SL area remains red for clearer risk separation.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🚦 ONE ACTIVE TRADE AT A TIME
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script includes one-active-trade-at-a-time logic.
If a trade model is active, the engine does not create another trade model until the current one closes.
The active model may close through:
• TP3
• targets complete
• stop loss
• breakeven exit
This design separates:
• FVG and structure detection
• trade-model creation permission
The engine can continue calculating market context while a model is active, but another entry model is not opened.
This helps prevent overlapping TP / SL areas and keeps the chart easier to interpret.
The one-active-model rule is a visual management decision.
It is not a restriction on the user’s personal trading activity.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠️ SAME-CANDLE TP / SL HANDLING
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
If a target and the active stop are both touched on the same candle, standard OHLC data cannot reveal the true intrabar sequence.
The script therefore includes two selectable assumptions:
Protective First
Target First
Protective First assumes the stop is processed before target events.
Target First processes available target events before the stop check.
bool tws_conservative_mode =
tws_intrabar_priority == "Protective First"
if tws_conservative_mode and tws_stop_touched
tws_trade_remaining_percent := 0.0
tws_close_trade := true
tws_close_reason := tws_trade_active_stop == tws_trade_entry ? "BREAKEVEN" : "STOP LOSS"
tws_final_exit_price := tws_trade_active_stop
else
if not tws_tp1_reached and tws_tp1_touched
tws_tp1_reached := true
tws_tp1_event := true
Protective First is the more conservative bar-based assumption.
Target First is more optimistic.
Neither option reproduces exact tick-by-tick broker execution.
The model does not include spread, slippage, commissions, latency, or partial-fill behavior.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🏷️ FVG RETEST LABELS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script uses clear directional FVG Retest labels.
Bullish entry labels use:
🟢 FVG RETEST
📈 LONG
Bearish entry labels use:
🔴 FVG RETEST
📉 SHORT
Entry labels can also display:
• grade
• setup score
• FVG age
• retest depth
• Passport information
Completed-model labels emphasize that the closed model originated from an FVG retest.
A completed bullish model can display:
🟢 BULLISH FVG RETEST
🔒 MODEL CLOSED
🎯 close reason
⭐ grade
TP1 / TP2 / TP3 status
A completed bearish model uses the corresponding bearish wording and color.
The labels do not display USD profit or account-profit claims.
All chart labels use bold and italic text formatting.
The signal-label size can be adjusted from the settings.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📍 FVG ZONE DISPLAY MODES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The FVG display system includes three modes:
Hidden
Selected Gap
All Active Gaps
Hidden mode removes active FVG memory boxes from the chart while allowing the engine to continue calculating them internally.
Selected Gap shows only the FVG currently armed for retest monitoring.
All Active Gaps displays every currently stored and valid FVG zone.
Show Executed FVG Retests separately controls whether the FVG zone that created an entry remains highlighted as part of the trade model.
The selected display mode affects visual presentation only.
It does not change the underlying FVG calculations.
For the cleanest chart, Selected Gap is generally the most focused mode.
All Active Gaps can be useful for research but may create more chart density.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧹 FVG INVALIDATION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script can automatically remove invalidated FVG zones.
A bullish FVG may be invalidated when confirmed price action closes through the zone in the opposite direction.
A bearish FVG may be invalidated when confirmed price action closes through its opposite boundary.
An armed zone can also be cleared when:
• its retest window expires
• the zone exceeds the permitted lifetime
• the internal memory limit removes an older gap
• the active structure search is replaced
When an armed FVG becomes invalid, the Blocker Lens can display FVG INVALIDATED.
When the retest window expires, it can display SETUP EXPIRED.
Removing invalidated or stale zones helps prevent outdated FVGs from creating later entries outside their intended context.
Users can disable automatic invalidation removal if they prefer to retain more zones visually.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📟 DASHBOARD
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script includes a compact dashboard positioned in the bottom-right corner.
The dashboard displays:
• BIAS
• STATE
• ENTRY
• TP1
• TP2
• TP3
• SL
BIAS uses the confirmed higher-timeframe filter when that filter is enabled and valid.
Otherwise, it reflects the current internal structure bias.
STATE is powered by the Blocker Lens.
Possible states include:
• WAITING STRUCTURE
• SCANNING FVG
• NO ELIGIBLE FVG
• FVG ARMED
• RETEST DELAY
• WAITING RETEST
• VOLUME BLOCK
• DI BLOCK
• HTF BLOCK
• WEAK REACTION
• GRADE BLOCK
• LIVE PREVIEW READY
• WAITING BAR CLOSE
• TRADE ACTIVE
• COOLDOWN
• SETUP EXPIRED
• FVG INVALIDATED
The dashboard size can be set to Micro, Compact, or Standard.
The dashboard is designed to summarize engine state and current price references.
It is not a performance report.
It is not a replacement for TradingView Strategy Tester.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🚨 ALERT SYSTEM
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
FVG Retest Entry Engine includes advanced alert options for:
• FVG armed
• bullish FVG Retest entry
• bearish FVG Retest entry
• any FVG Retest entry
• TP1 reached
• TP2 reached
• TP3 reached
• breakeven activated
• stop loss
• breakeven exit
Alert packages include:
Off
Qualified Entries
Premium Entries
Full Lifecycle
Webhook JSON
Qualified Entries focuses on confirmed accepted entries.
Premium Entries applies stricter grade-based alert delivery.
Full Lifecycle includes entry and management events.
Webhook JSON sends structured event messages for external processing.
Alert Direction can be limited to Both Directions, Bullish Only, or Bearish Only.
Minimum Alert Grade can be set to All Qualified, A / A+, or A+ Only.
Alert filtering affects alert delivery only.
It does not change the chart’s signal calculations.
alertcondition(tws_armed_alert_event, title="trade_w_samet • FVG ARMED", message='trade_w_samet FVG ARMED | {{ticker}} | TF: {{interval}} | Score: {{plot("SIGNAL_SCORE")}}')
alertcondition(tws_entry_alert_event and tws_trade_direction == 1, title="trade_w_samet • BULLISH FVG RETEST", message='trade_w_samet BULLISH FVG RETEST | {{ticker}} | TF: {{interval}} | Score: {{plot("SIGNAL_SCORE")}} | Entry: {{plot("ENTRY")}} | SL: {{plot("SL")}} | TP1: {{plot("TP1")}} | TP2: {{plot("TP2")}} | TP3: {{plot("TP3")}}')
alertcondition(tws_entry_alert_event and tws_trade_direction == -1, title="trade_w_samet • BEARISH FVG RETEST", message='trade_w_samet BEARISH FVG RETEST | {{ticker}} | TF: {{interval}} | Score: {{plot("SIGNAL_SCORE")}} | Entry: {{plot("ENTRY")}} | SL: {{plot("SL")}} | TP1: {{plot("TP1")}} | TP2: {{plot("TP2")}} | TP3: {{plot("TP3")}}')
alertcondition(tws_tp1_alert_event, title="trade_w_samet • TP1 REACHED", message='trade_w_samet TP1 REACHED | {{ticker}} | TP1: {{plot("TP1")}}')
alertcondition(tws_stop_alert_event, title="trade_w_samet • STOP LOSS", message='trade_w_samet STOP LOSS | {{ticker}} | SL: {{plot("SL")}}')
Alerts are monitoring tools only.
They do not execute trades or place broker orders.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔔 HOW TO USE ALERTS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A practical alert workflow:
1. Add FVG Retest Entry Engine to the chart.
2. Select the desired Engine Style and confirmation settings.
3. Open TradingView’s alert window.
4. Select the indicator as the alert condition.
5. Choose the desired entry or lifecycle condition.
6. Select the alert frequency appropriate for confirmed-candle monitoring.
7. Use the Alert Package, direction, and grade controls inside the indicator when needed.
8. Add a webhook URL only when using a compatible external workflow.
9. Test the alert configuration before depending on it.
10. Confirm every event with personal analysis and risk management.
For confirmed entry monitoring, users should avoid treating provisional realtime candle conditions as permanent signals.
Entry alerts are designed around the script’s confirmed event variables.
Alert delivery can still depend on TradingView servers, the user’s alert configuration, data availability, and any external webhook destination.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧪 HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A practical workflow:
1. Add FVG Retest Entry Engine to a standard candlestick chart.
2. Begin with Original Sync or Balanced Flow.
3. Keep Signal Timing on Confirmed Close for the clearest workflow.
4. Use Selected Gap to keep the chart focused.
5. Observe the dashboard STATE value.
6. Wait for a confirmed structure event and an armed FVG.
7. Review the FVG zone before the retest occurs.
8. When price returns, allow the selected retest model and filters to complete.
9. Review the FVG Retest Passport when an entry appears.
10. Use the displayed Entry, SL, TP1, TP2, and TP3 as visual references only.
11. Evaluate whether the setup fits personal structure, liquidity, session, and risk rules.
12. Use alerts for monitoring rather than blind execution.
13. Review completed FVG Retest labels to understand the model lifecycle.
14. Test settings on the exact markets and timeframes personally studied.
The indicator is best used as a structured FVG retest review tool.
It should not be used as an automatic decision-maker.

🧠 WHAT MAKES THIS SCRIPT ORIGINAL
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
FVG Retest Entry Engine uses familiar analytical concepts such as:
• Fair Value Gaps
• swing-point structure
• BOS and CHoCH
• ATR
• volume analysis
• DI / ADX
• higher-timeframe EMA bias
• risk/reward projection
• staged targets
• breakeven management
These concepts are not unique by themselves.
The originality of this script lies in how they are organized into a transparent FVG retest workflow:
Structure confirmation
→ directional FVG memory
→ contextual candidate comparison
→ selected armed zone
→ configurable retest validation
→ reaction-quality evaluation
→ optional volume, DI, and HTF checkpoints
→ setup grading
→ confirmed-close entry commitment
→ three-target visual management
→ optional breakeven movement
→ completed FVG Retest archiving
→ Blocker Lens state reporting
→ Passport explanation
→ lifecycle alerts
Distinctive implementation features include:
• structure-linked FVG selection instead of signaling every gap
• multiple Engine Style profiles
• Original Sync market calibrations
• an armed-zone state before entry
• candidate ranking using several FVG characteristics
• multiple retest models
• a visible reason when an entry is waiting or blocked
• a Passport explaining accepted setup context
• confirmed-close permanent signal commitment
• previous-completed HTF values
• executed FVG zone preservation
• three-stage target management
• Desktop and Mobile display modes
• alert filtering separated from chart calculations
This structure is designed to provide a focused and explainable review process without relying on hidden prediction claims.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠️ IMPORTANT PRACTICAL NOTES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script’s behavior depends heavily on settings and market conditions.
Signal frequency and visual output may change based on:
• Engine Style
• structure sensitivity
• close-based or wick-based breaks
• break momentum requirements
• minimum FVG width
• displacement filtering
• candidate-score threshold
• previous zone interactions
• FVG lifetime
• retest model
• reaction-strength threshold
• retest delay
• setup expiry
• volume filter settings
• DI / ADX settings
• HTF timeframe and EMA lengths
• minimum setup grade
• stop model
• target multiples
• signal cooldown
• timeframe
• symbol volatility
• market session
• available historical bars
A setting that appears clean on one market may behave differently on another.
A profile that produces suitable frequency on one timeframe may be too strict or too active on another.
Volume behavior can differ across asset classes and data providers.
Higher-timeframe filtering only operates as intended when the selected bias timeframe is genuinely higher than the chart timeframe.
Users should test the exact symbol, timeframe, profile, and session they personally study.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠️ LIMITATIONS AND SHORTCOMINGS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This script has important limitations:
It does not guarantee profitable trades.
It does not predict future price movement.
It does not replace risk management.
It does not execute trades.
It does not place broker orders.
It does not include broker slippage.
It does not include commissions.
It does not include spreads.
It does not include execution delay.
It does not include partial-fill behavior.
It uses bar-based chart data.
Same-candle TP / SL order cannot be known from standard OHLC data.
Same-Candle Priority is a modeling assumption.
Live Preview can change intrabar because the realtime candle is unfinished.
Permanent entry models are committed only after bar close.
Confirmed pivots require future bars before becoming available as confirmed swing points.
The dashboard is not TradingView Strategy Tester.
The internal target-share model is not account-performance reporting.
Historical boxes and completed labels do not guarantee similar future behavior.
Setup grades are internal classifications, not win probabilities.
Filter settings do not guarantee improved future results.
Higher-timeframe values depend on selected timeframe and available data.
Data-feed revisions or chart-history differences can affect historical calculations.
Alert delivery depends on TradingView and the user’s alert configuration.
Webhook delivery also depends on the external destination.
One-active-trade logic is a visual management rule, not broker execution logic.
For these reasons, FVG Retest Entry Engine should be used as an educational decision-support and chart-analysis tool, not as a standalone automated trading strategy.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
👤 WHO THIS SCRIPT MAY BE USEFUL FOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This script may be useful for traders who:
• study Fair Value Gap retests
• use BOS and CHoCH context

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧭 BEST PRACTICE SUGGESTIONS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
For cleaner review:
• Start with Original Sync or Balanced Flow.
• Keep Signal Timing on Confirmed Close.
• Use Selected Gap to reduce chart clutter.
• Enable Blocker Lens while learning the engine workflow.
• Use Compact Passport for concise context.
• Use Detailed Passport when reviewing why a setup qualified.
• Review the armed FVG before the entry appears.
• Check whether the FVG retest agrees with personal market-structure analysis.
• Evaluate the displayed stop against nearby structure and volatility.
• Treat TP1, TP2, and TP3 as planning references only.
• Keep Protective First when a conservative same-candle assumption is preferred.
• Use Precision Flow when fewer, stricter setups are preferred.
• Use Fast Flow only after understanding its higher signal frequency.
• Use Custom Lab only after learning how each threshold affects the engine.
• Use Mobile layout on smaller screens.
• Use alerts for monitoring, not blind execution.
• Always apply independent analysis, risk management, and position sizing.

Yuri Garcia Narrow State Strategy (YGILS)Overview
The Yuri Garcia Institutional Liquidity Strategy (YGILS) is a trend-following and volatility-expansion methodology designed to identify high-probability trading opportunities during periods of market compression and directional momentum.
The strategy combines trend analysis, volatility measurements, momentum confirmation, and risk management into a structured framework that helps traders identify potential institutional participation while maintaining disciplined execution.
The primary objective is not to predict every market move, but rather to participate when multiple conditions align in favor of a directional expansion.
---
Strategy Philosophy
Markets alternate between periods of compression and expansion.
During compression, price contracts, volatility decreases, and market participants become indecisive.
During expansion, volatility increases, momentum accelerates, and directional opportunities emerge.
The strategy is specifically designed to identify the transition from low-volatility environments to high-volatility environments.
The Narrow State identifies compression.
The Elephant Bar identifies expansion.
The highest-quality opportunities typically occur when an Elephant Bar appears shortly after a period of compression and in the direction of the prevailing trend.
---
Core Components
Trend Identification
The strategy uses:
• 20 EMA (Short-Term Momentum)
• 200 SMA (Long-Term Trend)
Bullish Environment
✓ Price above 200 SMA
✓ 20 EMA above 200 SMA
Bearish Environment
✓ Price below 200 SMA
✓ 20 EMA below 200 SMA
This trend filter prevents traders from taking long positions against a bearish market and short positions against a bullish market.
---
Narrow State
A Narrow State occurs when the distance between the EMA 20 and SMA 200 contracts below a user-defined percentage threshold.
Formula:
Distance % = |EMA20 − SMA200| ÷ SMA200 × 100
The Narrow State represents a market compression phase.
Historically, significant market moves frequently begin after periods of compression.
The strategy seeks to participate during the transition from compression into expansion.
Important
The optimal Narrow State threshold depends on the instrument, timeframe, and market volatility.
Lower values produce stricter setups and fewer signals.
Higher values produce more signals but may increase market noise.
Traders are encouraged to optimize this setting based on the specific market being traded.
---
Elephant Bars
An Elephant Bar represents a significant expansion in volatility and directional conviction.
The candle body must exceed the Average True Range (ATR) multiplied by the Elephant Bar Multiplier selected by the user.
Formula:
Candle Body Size > ATR × Elephant Multiplier
Example
ATR = 20 points
Elephant Multiplier = 1.5
Required Body Size = 30 points
Any candle whose body exceeds 30 points is classified as an Elephant Bar.
---
Bullish Elephant Bar
Requirements:
✓ Bullish Candle
✓ Body exceeds ATR threshold
✓ Bullish Trend Active
Bullish Elephant Bars suggest aggressive buying pressure and potential institutional participation.
---
Bearish Elephant Bar
Requirements:
✓ Bearish Candle
✓ Body exceeds ATR threshold
✓ Bearish Trend Active
Bearish Elephant Bars suggest aggressive selling pressure and potential institutional participation.
---
Why Elephant Bars Matter
Institutional traders typically enter positions using significant volume and liquidity.
This often creates unusually large candles relative to recent market activity.
Elephant Bars help identify those moments where participation increases dramatically and may signal the beginning of a directional expansion phase.
---
RBI and GBI Confirmation Patterns
The strategy includes continuation confirmations.
RBI (Red Bar Ignored)
Bullish Continuation Pattern
Requirements:
• Previous candle closes bearish
• Current candle closes bullish
• Current candle closes above previous high
• Bullish trend remains active
This pattern suggests buyers have regained control.
---
GBI (Green Bar Ignored)
Bearish Continuation Pattern
Requirements:
• Previous candle closes bullish
• Current candle closes bearish
• Current candle closes below previous low
• Bearish trend remains active
This pattern suggests sellers have regained control.
---
Entry Conditions
Long Positions
A BUY signal occurs when:

Risk Management
The strategy uses ATR-based stop loss calculations that automatically adapt to changing market volatility.
Formula:
Stop Loss = Entry ± ATR × Multiplier
This helps maintain consistent risk management across different instruments and market conditions.
---
Take Profit Logic
The strategy uses configurable Risk-to-Reward ratios.
Formula:
Target = ATR × Multiplier × Risk Reward Ratio
Example:
Risk = 50 points
Target = 100 points
Reward Ratio = 2:1
This allows traders to maintain a structured and repeatable approach to position management.
---

Best Practice
The strategy performs best when used as a confirmation tool rather than a prediction tool.
Wait for trend alignment.
Wait for compression.
Wait for volatility expansion.
Then execute according to the rules.
Patience and discipline are often more important than prediction.
The market rewards consistency more than excitement.

Sessions + Killzones [HermesCore]WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES
Sessions + Killzones tracks the three desk sessions: Asia, London and New York, plus an optional custom window. While a session is open you see it as a live box. When it closes, its high and low become levels. Each level gets a simple 0 to 6 quality score, and from then on the script tracks what price does with it: swept, run, or held.
Every outcome feeds a statistics engine. It answers the core question of this script: what does the next session usually do with the levels of the previous one? Measured on your own chart, with sample sizes shown.
Killzones are the windows where institutional activity concentrates, around the desk opens. They render as background shading, set in New York time per ICT convention (Inner Circle Trader, the school this session vocabulary comes from). The dashboard shows which session and which killzone are active right now, each with a countdown. It also covers the daily window where nothing is open. I gave that window a name: the Dead Zone.
WHY IT IS DIFFERENT
Most session indicators draw boxes and stop. The few that score sessions usually hide how the score works. My rules are:
- A level gets its score at birth and the score never changes. It is built only from facts about how the session formed: range, volume, how clean the extreme was, and confluence with key levels. What happens later is shown by the lifecycle markings, not by changing the score.
- A sweep and a run are two different events. A wick beyond the level that closes back inside is a sweep. That is information: stops were taken and price came back. A close beyond the level plus a 0.1 ATR buffer (Average True Range, a standard volatility measure) is a run. The level is consumed.
- The statistics are counted honestly. A pair like "AS.H in LDN" only counts what happens while London is actually open. Levels that die before their judging session opens are not counted at all. The dashboard shows the n for every pair, so you always see how much evidence sits behind a percentage.
- Sessions are boxes, because their range matters: it becomes levels. Killzones are background shading, because only their timing matters. Two layers, two visual languages.
- Everything updates on confirmed bars only. No intrabar flicker. No levels that appear and disappear within the same candle.
HOW TO READ THE CHART
- Live session box: bright, thick border, session tag in the corner. Closed boxes fade into quiet history.
- Session levels: horizontal lines starting at the bar that set the extreme. A label like "LDN.H A S:5" reads: London session high, grade A, score 5. The abbreviations: AS is Asia, LDN is London, NY is New York, .H is the high, .L is the low.
- Gold color with a soft glow and larger text: the grade is A or S. Those are the premium sessions.
- Thick border on a level: it was swept. The label gets a "swept" suffix.
- Grey line without text: the level was run. It stays as quiet history, or you can have runs deleted.
- Levels expire when the next session of the same type closes. Yesterday's Asia high stops mattering once today's Asia delivers a fresh one.
- Killzone shading: vertical background bands for Asia, London, NY AM, and optionally London Close. All set in New York time.
- Dotted horizontal line: the midnight open at 00:00 New York.
- Dotted vertical lines to the right of price: the projected next open of each session, in session color. The chart version of the dashboard countdown. They respect the Weekdays Only filter.
- Neutral horizontal lines: previous day high and low (PDH, PDL) and previous week high and low (PWH, PWL), always from the last completed day and week. When a daily and a weekly level are equal they merge into one line with a combined label.
- Session midlines (CE, consequent encroachment, simply the middle of the range): dotted at the middle of each closed session, turning solid gold with a label like "AS CE" on the first touch. On by default.
- Killzone range lines: when a killzone closes, its high and low freeze as dashed lines in the killzone color. They carry no score, no lifecycle and no statistics. They are pure context and expire when the next killzone of the same type closes. On by default.
THE SCORE
Every component is measured at session close against the average of the last 20 sessions of the same type. Asia is always compared with Asia, London with London.
- Range: the session range is more than 1.2x its own average, +2
- Volume: the session volume is above its own average, +2
- Clean extreme: the high or low was set in the first half of the session and never revisited within 0.1 ATR, +1
- Key confluence: the level lies within 0.25 ATR of PDH, PDL, PWH or PWL, +1
Grades: S (6), A (5), B (4), C (3), D (0 to 2). There is no strength filter on purpose. A day produces at most six levels, which is scarce enough to show them all and let the grade speak.
SEQUENCE STATISTICS
Six pairs, following the natural hand-off: Asia levels are judged by London, London levels by New York, New York levels by the next Asia. For each pair the dashboard shows the swept share, run share, held share, and n, the number of judged levels behind those percentages. Held means the judging session closed without resolving the level. The optional custom session gets the full level lifecycle but stays out of these statistics.
This is regime information. If "AS.H in LDN" shows 36 percent swept while the lifetime base is 45, London is currently respecting Asia highs more than usual. An alert can warn you when a pair crosses 70 percent swept.
THE DEAD ZONE
Between the New York close and the Asia open, nothing is open. I named that window the Dead Zone, and it does real work here. Liquidity is thinnest there. A New York level that gets run inside the Dead Zone disappears before Asia ever gets to judge it. That is why the New York pairs always show a smaller n: n only counts levels that survived until their judging session opened. The dashboard names the Dead Zone when you are in it and counts down to the next open. Neutral shading, on by default, makes it visible on the chart. It is defined as "no session live", so it stays correct through every daylight saving (DST) change, and with Weekdays Only on, the whole weekend becomes one long Dead Zone.
DASHBOARD
Session now with a closing countdown, or Dead Zone with an opening countdown. Range and volume of each session against its own average, live sessions marked. The six pairs with percentages and n. Active level count, the lifetime swept versus run ratio, and Killzone now with its own countdown. Heat bars are proportional everywhere.
HOW I USE IT
My preferred timeframes, in order:
- 15m is the home base. Sessions are 30 plus bars wide, so the clean extreme component means something. The 09:30 New York open lands exactly on a bar. And the chart loads the most history, which gives the statistics their highest n.
- 5m is the execution frame. Sweeps and runs resolve on bar closes, so 5m shows the fight around a level in finer detail, and killzones become readable blocks. The cost is sample size: the statistics run on roughly a third of the history, so I treat those percentages as indicative and keep the regime read on 15m.
- 1h works but is the edge case. Hourly bars cut off the 09:30 New York open, and a six bar session makes the score coarse. Above 1h the script draws nothing on purpose.
On 15m I read the dashboard first: which session is live, how its range compares with average, and what the pair stats say about the current regime. Levels graded A or S from a session that expanded on volume are the ones I treat as real liquidity references, especially with key confluence. Then I watch how the next session treats them. A sweep, thick border, stops taken and price rejected, is a different trade than a clean run. I drop to 5m for execution around those levels and during killzones. I do not use this above 1h, and the script will tell you the same.
The way I think about it: session highs and lows are liquidity pools with a clock attached. Equal highs can form anywhere, but a session extreme tells you which desk made the level, when it stops being defended, and, through the statistics, what usually happens to it next.
SETTINGS THAT MATTER
- Sessions: four windows, each with its own IANA timezone (Asia/Tokyo, Europe/London, America/New_York by default). These are real timezone names, not UTC offsets, so daylight saving is handled automatically. The sessions simply follow their local clocks.
- Weekdays Only: off by default. Crypto trades the weekend, and weekend sessions usually grade D by themselves on thin range and volume. Turn this on and everything restricts to Monday through Friday: the weekend becomes one long Dead Zone, Friday New York levels wait for Monday Asia, and the countdown switches to a days format.
- Max Session Boxes: 42 keeps two weeks of session history for a zoomed-out view, 6 keeps two days for intraday focus.
- Run Levels Become: greyed history or deleted. Your choice of how loud the past is.
- Focus Fade: levels more than 6 ATR away from price render dimmed, gold glow included, so your eye goes to what is in play.
- Killzones: four windows in New York time, each with its own color. London Close is off by default. Killzone Range Lines adds the frozen high and low of each completed killzone as dashed lines.
- Timeframe guard: above 60 minutes the script draws nothing and says why. This is an intraday tool, and pretending otherwise would only produce misleading levels.
ALERTS
Session Opened, Session Closed, New A/S Session Level, Session Level Swept, Session Level Run, Killzone Started, Session Midline Tapped, Sweep Rate Threshold (a pair crossing 70 percent swept with n of at least 10).
CALCULATION DETAILS
- All state changes happen on confirmed bars. Sweeps, runs and statistics never repaint within a bar.
- Sessions use Pine session strings with full IANA timezone support. Without a day filter, Pine fires sessions on all seven days. That is correct for 24/7 markets, and it is what the Weekdays Only toggle changes.
- The rolling averages for range and volume use the last 20 completed sessions of the same type, calculated before the current session is added. A session is never compared with itself.
- A sweep needs a wick beyond the level with the close back inside the 0.1 ATR buffer. A run needs a close beyond the level plus the buffer. A first sweep marks the level, a later run still resolves it.
- Outcomes are only recorded while the judging session is open. A level that survives its judge counts as held at the judge's close.
- The statistics are computed from the bars your chart loads. They reload per chart timeframe. 15m loads the most history and gives the highest n. On 5m the same engine runs on roughly a third of the sample, treat those percentages as indicative.
HONEST LIMITATIONS
- The statistics describe the past, they do not predict. They tell you what this chart did over the loaded history, not what it will do next.
- n differs per pair by design. Levels run inside the Dead Zone leave the population before their judging session opens, which is why the New York pairs carry a smaller n. That is honest counting, not a bug.
- Statistics depend on the chart timeframe and the loaded history, so two timeframes show different percentages. Neither is wrong, they measure different samples.
- With Weekdays Only off, weekend sessions are part of the statistics. With it on, both n and the percentages change, because you measure a different market. Neither setting is the truth, they answer different questions.
- Scores compare a session with its own rolling history, so the first 20 sessions of each type on a fresh chart carry less reliable scores while the averages fill up.
- On 1h charts bar alignment can cut off session opens (there is no 09:30 bar on an hourly chart). That is part of why the timeframe guard sits at 60 minutes.
ORIGINALITY
The session and killzone concepts come from the public ICT vocabulary and from years of session-based intraday trading. Every line of code, the scoring system, the sweep versus run grammar, the judged-while-open statistics engine, the Dead Zone concept and the visual language are my own work.
Questions and suggestions are welcome in the comments. If the stats surprise you on your market, that is usually the most interesting place to start reading.

ICT Confluence Framework[BullByte]ICT Confluence Framework is a structural price-action engine that monitors the chart for five independent ICT-style behaviors and fires a directional setup only when several of them align inside a short structural window. Designed for intraday traders on 1m–15m charts in crypto, indices, and futures, with an auto-adapter that rescales every meaningful lookback to the chart timeframe.
Most ICT tools draw one element - order blocks, liquidity pools, BOS lines - and leave the trader to combine them mentally. This framework does the combining, scores the result against the current market regime and volatility phase, and prints one clean setup with an Entry, two Reference Levels, and an Invalidation level. The chart stays focused on what is currently relevant - no permanent boxes, no arrows on every candle, no flashing icons.
WHY THIS IS NOT A MASHUP
No public indicator is imported, wrapped, or re-skinned. Every detector is written from first principles against raw OHLCV. The five detectors share four custom layers that no single public indicator provides:
- A common confluence scoring layer with adaptive per-pattern weighting
- A regime classifier based on path efficiency
- A volatility-phase filter based on rolling ATR percentile rank
- A signal lifecycle manager with deterministic outcome resolution
The originality is in how five orthogonal behaviors are unified into one decision - not in the behaviors themselves.
THE FIVE BEHAVIORS MONITORED
1. Liquidity Sweep + Reclaim
Price violates a recent swing extreme - taking out resting stops - then closes back inside the prior range within a short window. The classic stop-hunt-then-reverse footprint.
2. Stopping Volume
A high-volume bar at a local extreme that closes with a strong rejection wick. Marks a level where aggressive flow was absorbed by passive flow.
3. Range Compression to Expansion
A bar that is the narrowest of its recent window is immediately followed by an expansion bar of meaningful size. A bullish expansion contributes to a bullish setup; a bearish expansion to a bearish one.
4. Break of Structure (BOS)
A close beyond the last confirmed pivot high or low. The script uses 3-bar right-confirmed pivots, so BOS prints with structural lag by design - this removes false breaks.
5. Order Block Mitigation
Price returns to the last opposing candle preceding a strong impulse, wicks into it, and closes back outside the zone.
Each behavior is detected independently against raw price and volume.
WHY THESE FIVE
At structural turning points markets do a small number of distinct things: they trap traders (sweep), they absorb flow (stopping volume), they release energy (compression-expansion), they confirm intent (BOS), and they retest origin (order block). When two or more of these align within the same structural window on the same side, the setup quality is materially higher than any one of them in isolation.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
Signals are stable. Detection and signal arming occur only on confirmed bar close. Once a setup prints, it does not move, redraw, or vanish on the next tick.
The script adapts to your chart. Every pattern carries a rolling reliability score calculated from its own follow-through history on the instrument and timeframe you are viewing. Follow-through is measured as maximum favorable excursion in ATR multiples over a configurable evaluation window. Patterns that have been working get more weight; patterns that have been failing get less, bounded by a user-set floor so no pattern is fully silenced.
Market regime is respected. An efficiency ratio (net displacement divided by path length) classifies the market as Trend Up, Trend Down, Range, Volatile, or Neutral. Inside this classification, BOS in a Range is soft-weighted to 0.4x and Expansion in a Volatile regime is soft-weighted to 0.5x. Counter-trend setups inside a strong trend are weighted down to 0.5x but still allowed.
Volatility phase aware. The current ATR's percentile rank classifies the bar as Quiet, Normal, or Active. Active phase tightens the required pattern count by one (capped at five). Quiet and Normal use the user's setting unchanged.
Confluence decay. A residual opposing score decays linearly by 1.0 per bar with no fresh pattern activity, so a stale opposing cluster cannot block a fresh signal indefinitely. The decayed value is also reset to zero on trade closure so the post-cooldown chart starts clean.
The chart stays clean. While no trade is active, the Hunting Layer shows what the script is monitoring. The moment a signal fires, every hunting visual that did not contribute to the signal and is not contextually inside the trade's expected path is erased. Contributors and contextual zones are recolored to the signal's direction and promoted into permanent history.
CHART EXAMPLE
1.ETH/USD 15m: Bullish Alignment: Expansion + BOS. Following a sharp bearish leg into a session low near 08:00, price entered a tight compression range between approximately 10:30 and 12:00. An expansion bar then broke above the last confirmed swing high (the LH pivot at ~11:00), firing the Compression-to-Expansion and Break of Structure detectors simultaneously. The framework printed a Bullish Alignment at 2036.60 with Invalidation at 2022.77. The market has advanced through Reference Level 1 (2050.43) and is approaching Reference Level 2 (2064.27).
2.ETH/USD 15m: Bullish High-Confluence: Sweep + BOS + OB. During a Range regime under Active volatility phase (which tightened the confluence requirement to three patterns), price swept the sellside liquidity at approximately 10:30 below a confirmed swing low. After consolidation, the entry bar at approximately 13:30 mitigated a bullish Order Block and broke above the local pivot. Three patterns aligned at signal close, firing a Bullish High-Confluence setup at 2118.34 with Invalidation at 2097.19. The market is currently advancing toward Reference Level 1 (2139.49) and Reference Level 2 (2160.64
3.ETH/USD 15m: Bearish Alignment: StopVol + BOS. Following a multi-hour consolidation between approximately 10:00 and 13:00 near the 2115–2125 area, price rejected the consolidation high with a high-volume bar at approximately 13:00, then broke below the local pivot. Stopping Volume and Break of Structure aligned on the same bar in a Volatile regime, firing a Bearish Alignment at 2110.89 with Invalidation at 2133.24. The setup is currently in progress, advancing toward Reference Level 1 (2088.54) and Reference Level 2 (2066.18), with a large sellside liquidity pool sitting in the path.
HOW TO READ THE OUTPUT
When a setup fires you will see four horizontal levels with right-side labels:
ENTRY (solid line, signal-direction color)
The closing price of the signal bar.
REFERENCE LEVEL 1 (dashed line, reference color)
Placed at 1R by default. Informational only - the setup does not close here. Useful for partial-exit planning or scaling.
REFERENCE LEVEL 2 (dashed line, reference color)
Placed at 2R by default. Reaching this level closes the setup as a success.
INVALIDATION (dotted line, invalidation color)
Placed at 3 ATR from entry by default. Reaching this level closes the setup as a failure.
Outcome and historical record
The setup closes when either Reference Level 2 or Invalidation is reached intrabar. Outcome is detected on the bar's high/low. When a single bar's range spans both levels, the setup closes on that bar; the script does not assume intrabar order, so the user should treat such ambiguous closures cautiously when reviewing historical results.
When the trade closes, right-side labels and connectors are removed and the four lines freeze at the closure bar. The signal label at the firing bar remains as a permanent record. To keep object counts within TradingView limits on long histories, the script retains the most recent 400 signal labels and the most recent 400 closed-trade lines; older items are recycled automatically.
COOLDOWN
After any trade closes, the script waits a configurable number of bars before arming the next setup. Prevents back-to-back firing on noisy moves.
THE DASHBOARD
A 9-row status panel reports:
Regime - Trend Up, Trend Down, Range, Volatile, or Neutral.
Phase - Quiet, Normal, or Active.
Pattern rows - for each of the five behaviors: rolling Activity count and a Low / Medium / High Emphasis rating based on recent follow-through reliability on this chart.
Patterns Required - the integer minimum that must align for a signal to fire on the current bar. Equal to your "Minimum Patterns Required" input in Quiet and Normal phases; tightened by one (capped at five) in Active phase.
Status - Ready, Cooldown, or Signal Active.
THE HUNTING LAYER
Drawn while no trade is active and the script is hunting for confluence:
Buyside Liquidity zones - blue boxes above swing highs.
Sellside Liquidity zones - teal boxes below swing lows.
Bullish Order Blocks - teal boxes at the last bearish candle before a strong bullish impulse.
Bearish Order Blocks - red boxes at the last bullish candle before a strong bearish impulse.
Compression bars - amber boxes on narrow-range candles.
Stopping Volume markers - amber triangles at high-volume rejection candles at local extremes.
BOS labels - text labels at confirmed structural breaks, centered on the broken level.
Sweep markers - text labels at the bar where price violated a confirmed pivot extreme, marking where liquidity was taken.
Reclaim labels - text labels at the bar where price closed back inside the prior range, confirming the sweep. Together with the Sweep marker, these tell the complete two-event Sweep+Reclaim story.
HH / HL / LH / LL pivot labels - market structure narration. Pivots are independent of the BOS module switch and are shown whenever the pivot toggle is enabled.
Duplicate BOS, Sweep, and Reclaim markers at the same price level within a recent window are automatically suppressed. Each confirmed pivot can be swept and reclaimed at most once until a new pivot forms.
At signal fire
Each active hunting item is evaluated:
- If its pattern type contributed to the signal, it is recolored to the signal's direction and promoted to history.
- If it is a liquidity zone or order block sitting inside the trade's expected path AND structurally aligned with the trade, it is promoted as context.
- Everything else is erased instantly.
At signal fire, BOS and Reclaim markers are explicitly drawn so every fired setup carries its structural anchor. The Reclaim marker is guaranteed when the Sweep pattern contributed; the BOS marker is drawn when BOS contributed and no recent BOS marker exists at the same level.
TIMEFRAME GUIDANCE
1m and 3m - high-frequency scalping on liquid pairs (BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT, NQ, ES).
5m and 15m - intraday swing entries on the same instruments and other liquid markets.
30m and above - functional but signal frequency drops noticeably; suitable for positional approaches.
The Auto-Calibrate by Timeframe input automatically scales swing lookback, ATR length, volume lookback, sweep window, stopping-volume percentile, and compression lookback. Disable only for full manual control.
HOW TO USE IT
1. Load on a clean chart. Leave Auto-Calibrate enabled.
2. Watch the Hunting Layer to see what the script is monitoring.
3. Wait for a signal label to print at bar close. The label text lists the contributing patterns.
4. The four levels appear automatically.
5. The setup auto-closes when Reference Level 2 or Invalidation is reached. After cooldown, hunting resumes.
INPUTS GUIDE
Auto-Calibrate by Timeframe - master switch that scales all lookbacks to the chart timeframe.
Pattern Modules - enable or disable any of the five detectors individually.
Core Parameters - manual swing, ATR, and volume lookbacks (used when Auto-Calibrate is OFF).
Pattern Tuning - per-pattern sensitivity controls.
Adaptive Learning - evaluation window, follow-through threshold in ATR multiples, learning memory, and minimum emphasis floor.
Regime Filter - toggle regime awareness and set its lookback.
Volatility Phase - toggle phase-based threshold tightening and set its lookback.
Confluence Decay - toggle linear decay of residual opposing scores.
Output - Quiet Mode (only High-Confluence tier fires), minimum patterns required, cooldown bars, RR for Reference Levels 1 and 2, Invalidation distance in ATR multiples, and label offset from the last bar.
Visual - color tones for bullish, bearish, reference, invalidation, and label background.
ICT Hunting Layer - individual toggles and color controls for every visual element and the legend panel.
ALERTS
Six alert conditions cover every tier and direction combination:
- Bullish High-Confluence
- Bearish High-Confluence
- Bullish Alignment
- Bearish Alignment
- Bullish Watch
- Bearish Watch
Add through the standard TradingView alert dialog.
TECHNICAL NOTES
- All pattern detection and signal arming occur on confirmed bar close. No intrabar fires, no repaint.
- No request.security() calls. No higher-timeframe lookups. No lookahead modifiers. No future leakage.
- Pivots use 3-bar right confirmation - structural lag is intentional and removes false breaks.
- The script uses one active trade slot at a time. New setups can only arm after the current one closes and cooldown expires.
- Same-bar conflict between Reference Level 2 and Invalidation resolves conservatively as invalidation. This is the honest interpretation when intrabar order is unknown.
- Object retention is bounded: 400 signal labels, 400 closed-trade lines, 400 hunting-history items. Adaptive learning memory is configurable up to 1000 bars per pattern.
WHAT THIS SCRIPT IS NOT
- Not a strategy. It does not place trades or compute P&L.
- Not a holy grail. No indicator is.
- Not a black box. Every threshold and lookback is exposed as an input.
- Not predictive. It reacts to confirmed structural events at bar close.

Mr. Market MakerMr. Market Maker (MR.MM)
Mr. Market Maker is an advanced technical analysis tool designed for traders following Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and institutional trading frameworks. It automates the complex process of identifying structural shifts in the market, specifically focusing on trend reversals and continuations using precision-calculated Gann levels.
Key Features:
Dynamic Market Structure Detection:
The script uses a sophisticated fractal-based algorithm to identify Pivot Highs and Lows. These levels serve as the foundation for institutional supply and demand zones.
Dual-Engine Setup Logic:
CHoCH Engine (Change of Character): Automatically detects when the market sentiment shifts from bullish to bearish (or vice versa), identifying high-probability reversal setups.
BOS Engine (Break of Structure): Tracks trend continuation signals, allowing traders to scale into positions during strong trending phases.
Both engines operate independently and can be toggled on/off based on your trading strategy.
Automated Gann Box Execution:
Upon a structural break, the script instantly draws a customized Gann Box. It highlights the 0.382 - 0.618 "Entry Zone", which is widely regarded as the optimal institutional discount/premium area for entries.
Real-Time Liquidity Mapping:
The indicator identifies and visualizes "Candidate" levels. These horizontal levels represent Sell-Side and Buy-Side Liquidity, providing you with dynamic targets and logical stop-loss placements.
Integrated Trend Filtering:
Includes a multi-type Moving Average filter (SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, RMA) to ensure that your setups are always aligned with the macro trend, significantly reducing "fake-out" signals.
Smart Alert System:
A consolidated alert engine monitors both CHoCH and BOS setups. It triggers a notification the moment price enters the defined Entry Zone, ensuring you never miss a high-conviction trade.
Optimized Visual Management:
The "Show Last N" feature keeps your chart clean by managing object counts, while the "Sliding Update" logic ensures that active setups dynamically extend to the current price action.

Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) - Advanced & ImprovedSwing Failure Pattern (SFP) automatically detects liquidity sweeps on your chart — bars that wick past a prior swing high or low and close back inside it — and marks them with labels, swept level lines, and optional retest tracking.
=================================
WHAT IS AN SFP?
Every significant swing high and low on your chart has a cluster of orders sitting just beyond it. Stop losses from traders who are long, buy stops from traders waiting for a breakout, limit orders placed at round numbers. All of that sitting at one level is called liquidity.
An SFP is what happens when the market reaches that level, triggers all those orders, and then immediately reverses. Price makes a new high or low — just enough to sweep the liquidity — then snaps back and closes on the other side of the level.
Bullish SFP — wick below a prior swing low, close back above it. The sell stops below that level got triggered. The sellers who just got filled are now trapped. Price is labeled below the wick.
Bearish SFP — wick above a prior swing high, close back below it. The buy stops above that level got triggered. The buyers who just got filled are now trapped. Price is labeled above the wick.
SFP+ and SFP++ — the same wick swept 2 or 3 stacked swing levels at once. More liquidity was grabbed in a single move, which tends to produce a stronger and more sustained reversal.
=================================
HOW THE DETECTION WORKS
The indicator tracks the most recent swing highs and lows using pivot detection (configurable lookback, stored up to max_age days). Each closed bar is checked against all stored pivots:
The wick must exceed the pivot level by at least the minimum sweep size (ATR-based) to filter out micro-wicks that barely graze the level.
The close must reject back past the swept level with a minimum close position (top or bottom X% of the bar), filtering weak closes near the middle.
Optionally, the bar must have above-average volume — real stop hunts typically show a volume spike.
=================================
WHEN IT DOES NOT WORK
An SFP is a liquidity event, not a reversal guarantee. Two conditions reduce its reliability significantly:
Trading against a strong trend. A bearish SFP in the middle of a powerful uptrend often produces only a brief pause before the move continues. The stop hunt happened, but the underlying demand is too strong to reverse. The HTF Trend Filter setting exists for this reason — enabling it filters SFPs that go against the higher timeframe EMA direction.
No supporting context at the level. An SFP that fires at a random mid-range price tends to fail more often than one that occurs at a meaningful confluence of levels — a weekly high, a significant VWAP, a well-established volume node, or a clean structural area that multiple timeframes agree on. The signal is the same but the odds are different. Using this indicator alongside tools that measure level significance will separate the high-quality setups from the noise.
=================================
SETTINGS
Pivot Detection
Intraday pivot bars — confirmation bars required on each side for intraday timeframes (1m to 4H). Default 8.
HTF pivot bars — confirmation bars for Daily and above. Default 3. Kept lower because daily swings are structurally significant with less confirmation needed.
Max pivots stored — how many recent swing levels are tracked per side. Default 5.
Max pivot age (days) — levels older than this are expired. Default 20.
Filters
Min sweep size — wick must exceed the level by at least this ATR multiple.
Min close position % — for bullish SFP, close must be in the top X% of the bar. For bearish, the bottom X%.
Volume confirmation — optionally require above-average volume on the SFP bar.
HTF Trend Filter
When enabled, bullish SFPs only show during uptrends and bearish SFPs only during downtrends, defined by price relative to a configurable EMA on a higher timeframe.
Session Filter
Optionally restrict signals to the London open and NY open windows (UTC hours, fully configurable). SFPs during these windows tend to be institutionally driven rather than low-liquidity noise.
Retest Tracking
After an SFP fires, the swept level is stored. If price later returns to that level and holds, a small R label marks the retest candle. The retest is often a cleaner entry than the SFP candle itself.
Display
Draw swept level lines — dashed line from the original pivot bar to the SFP bar, showing which level was grabbed.
Show tracked pivot levels — draws all currently tracked pivots as dashed lines so you can watch levels in real time before an SFP forms.
Remove pivot when swept — cleans up the level from storage once it has been used.
=================================
RECOMMENDED TIMEFRAME
Works on all timeframes. Pivot bars auto-adjust between intraday and HTF values. Most actionable on 1H to 4H for intraday setups and Daily for swing trading.

Structure Decision Engine [AlgoPoint]Structure Decision Engine uses a dual-layer market structure framework
to detect Break of Structure (BOS), Change of Character (CHoCH),
and liquidity sweeps — then evaluates every signal through a
multi-factor quality engine that assigns a Trade Permission (ON/OFF).
Unlike basic structure indicators that only draw lines, this engine
thinks like a trader: is the structure aligned? Is the HTF bias
confirming? Are we in premium or discount? Was there a recent
liquidity sweep? Each factor contributes to a 0-100 Quality Score,
and only setups above the threshold get trade permission.
🔹 THREE VISUAL MODES
Decision — Clean view showing only active trade signals, Decision
Card dashboard, and structure zones. Minimal noise.
Analysis — Full structure view with BOS/CHoCH markers, liquidity
sweep labels (BSL/SSL), external levels, and Premium/Discount cloud.
Debug — Every internal and external swing labeled. All levels visible.
Use this to tune the lookback and filter parameters to your asset.
🔹 DUAL-LAYER STRUCTURE
Internal Structure — Short-term swing highs/lows with configurable
lookback. Detects BOS and CHoCH for entry timing.
External Structure — Longer-term swing points defining the macro
trend. Provides bias context and Premium/Discount range.
🔹 QUALITY ENGINE (0-100)
Each signal is scored on 7 dimensions:
• Body Ratio — how decisive is the breakout candle
• Displacement — how far did price close beyond the structure level
• Volume Confirmation — was volume elevated at the break
• Sweep Recency — was there a liquidity sweep before the break
• Structure Alignment — does the signal agree with external trend
• HTF Bias — does the higher timeframe EMA confirm direction
• Zone Position — is price in Premium (sell) or Discount (buy) zone
Grade scale: 85+ = A+, 75+ = A, 65+ = B, 50+ = C, below = D.
🔹 TRADE PERMISSION
Signals receive ON (take the trade) or OFF (stand aside) based on
quality threshold, structure alignment, HTF bias, and chop filter.
Each OFF signal shows the specific reason: "Quality below threshold,"
"Against external structure," "Against HTF bias," or "Choppy."
🔹 ACTIVE PLAN TRACKER
After a valid signal, the engine projects:
• Retest Zone — the area where price should retest the broken level
• Invalidation Level — where the setup is void
• Target — nearest opposing structure level
• Status — Waiting Retest → Retest Hit → Target Hit / Invalidated
All projected as visual boxes and lines extending forward.
🔹 LIQUIDITY SWEEPS
Detects Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) sweeps and Sell-Side Liquidity
(SSL) sweeps on internal structure levels. Sweeps within the
validity window boost the Quality Score by 20 points.
🔹 MARKET MODE CLASSIFICATION
Combines internal and external structure states to determine the
current market mode: Bullish Trend, Bearish Trend, Bullish Pullback,
Bearish Pullback, Neutral, or No-Trade (choppy/compressed).
🔹 DECISION CARD DASHBOARD
Real-time panel showing: External Bias, Market Mode, Last Setup,
Quality Score/Grade, Trade Permission, Zone (Premium/Discount),
Recent Sweep, and Plan Status.
🔹 FEATURES
• 1100+ lines of professional Pine Script
• Dual-layer swing detection (Internal + External)
• BOS, CHoCH, BSL/SSL sweep detection
• 7-factor Quality Score with letter grade
• Trade Permission engine with reason codes

ICT PD Arrays [LunqFX] FVG, Displacement & Smart Money ZonesICT PD Arrays is a complete Smart Money Concepts toolkit built on the Inner
Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. It maps the full Price Delivery Array —
7 interconnected modules working together to identify where institutions
accumulate and distribute positions across any liquid market.
█ WHAT IT DOES
Most ICT indicators cover one concept in isolation — a Fair Value Gap, or
just Premium/Discount zones. This script combines all core PD Array
components into one cohesive system and ties them together with an ISD
state machine and a live HUD dashboard that shows full market context
at a glance.
Seven modules run simultaneously on every bar:
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) + Inversion FVG + Balanced Price Range (BPR)
Premium / Discount Zones + OTE Fibonacci Zones + Equilibrium Line
Displacement Detection with ATR and Volume confirmation
Inducement (IDM) — false breakout / liquidity trap detection
ISD Sequence state machine (Inducement → Sweep → Displacement)
Killzones — London, New York, Asian, Silver Bullet sessions
Live HUD Dashboard — all signals aggregated in real time
█ HOW IT DOES IT
FAIR VALUE GAPS
A Fair Value Gap is a 3-candle price imbalance where the gap between
candle 1's extreme and candle 3's extreme was never traded. Institutions
use these gaps as re-entry points — price gravitates back to fill them.
Detection uses a confirmed 3-candle structure with a bar offset so
the current live bar never creates a new FVG. No repainting.
An ATR(14)-based minimum size filter removes micro-gaps that carry no
significance. Raise the multiplier to see only strong imbalances.
Mitigation is tracked in real time. Once price crosses the CE midpoint
(Consequent Encroachment — the 50% level of the gap), the box fades.
When price fully passes through a gap it automatically converts to an
Inversion FVG (IFVG) — former support becomes resistance, box recolors.
Balanced Price Range (BPR) detects spatial overlap between the most
recent bullish FVG and bearish FVG. The overlap zone is where both
buyer and seller imbalances exist at the same price — the strongest
equilibrium area on the chart.
PREMIUM / DISCOUNT ZONES + OTE
ICT divides any dealing range into two halves: Premium (above 50%) where
institutions sell, and Discount (below 50%) where institutions buy.
Swing highs and lows are detected via pivot logic with a configurable
lookback. The range between the last confirmed pivot high and pivot low
becomes the active dealing range.
Two OTE zones are drawn using Fibonacci retracement logic:
OTE Buy zone — 21.4% to 38.2% from the low
= 61.8%–78.6% retracement FROM the swing high
= deepest discount, highest-probability long area
OTE Sell zone — 61.8% to 78.6% from the low
= deepest premium, highest-probability short area
Math:
OTE Buy Top = SwingLow + Range x 0.382
OTE Buy Bot = SwingLow + Range x 0.214
OTE Sell Top = SwingLow + Range x 0.786
OTE Sell Bot = SwingLow + Range x 0.618
Zones update automatically when new pivots are confirmed.
DISPLACEMENT
Displacement is not simply a large candle. In ICT theory it marks a
genuine shift of institutional order flow — it must show conviction.
Three conditions must all be satisfied simultaneously:
Body >= ATR(14) x multiplier (default 2.0)
Filters out average volatility, keeps only significant momentum.
Wick-to-range ratio below threshold (default 30%)
A large wick relative to range signals indecision, not displacement.
Formula: (High - Close) / Range for bulls,
(Close - Low) / Range for bears.
Optional volume filter: Volume > SMA(20) x 1.5
Confirms institutional participation behind the move.
Disable for spot Forex where tick volume is unreliable.
Displacement candles are the primary FVG trigger — the gap left behind
a displacement candle is the highest-quality FVG to trade.
INDUCEMENT (IDM)
Inducement is how institutions engineer a false breakout to grab
retail stop-loss liquidity before reversing price the other way.
Detected when price temporarily sweeps beyond a recent swing high or
low and then closes back inside the range. An ATR-based wick filter
ensures only meaningful sweeps qualify — micro-breakouts are excluded.
Bear Trap: price sweeps below a recent low and closes above it.
Bull Trap: price sweeps above a recent high and closes below it.
A 25-bar cooldown prevents label flooding in trending conditions.
The signal still feeds the ISD state machine on every bar regardless.
ISD SEQUENCE STATE MACHINE
ISD stands for Inducement, Sweep, Displacement. This is the complete
3-step institutional setup that ICT traders look for before entering.
The module runs as a persistent state machine tracking progress
across bars in real time:
Score 1/3 — IDM confirmed. Liquidity has been grabbed.
Score 2/3 — A structural sweep of a 5-bar high or low confirmed.
Score 3/3 — A Displacement candle fires in the same direction.
Label appears on chart. State resets automatically.
A 50-bar timeout resets the sequence if no follow-through occurs,
preventing stale signals from contaminating new setups.
ISD 3/3 is the single highest-confidence signal in this indicator.
All three institutional steps have completed in the correct order.
Dashboard shows live progress: Score 0 to 3 with block indicators.
KILLZONES
ICT defines specific time windows where institutional order flow
is at its highest. The script highlights four of them:
London Open 02:00 - 05:00 New York time
New York Open 08:30 - 11:00 New York time
Asian Session 20:00 - 00:00 New York time
Silver Bullet 10:00 - 11:00 New York time
The Silver Bullet is a specific 1-hour ICT window occurring inside
the New York session — considered one of the highest-probability
entry windows in the entire ICT model.
Killzones are automatically hidden on timeframes 4H and above.
LIVE HUD DASHBOARD
A real-time panel in the bottom-left corner aggregates all modules:
Zone current price position (PREMIUM / DISCOUNT / EQ)
with gradient background that shifts green to red
EQ Level exact equilibrium price of the current dealing range
Bull FVG count of active non-inverted bullish gaps
Bear FVG count of active non-inverted bearish gaps
BPR whether a Balanced Price Range is currently active
Displace direction of the most recent displacement candle
IDM most recent trap type — Bear Trap / Bull Trap / None
ISD Score live block progress from 0/3 to 3/3
ATR (14) current ATR value
Timeframe active chart timeframe
█ HOW TO USE
Recommended workflow for intraday setups on 1m to 1H timeframes.
Step 1
Check the dashboard Zone. If PREMIUM, look for short setups only.
If DISCOUNT, look for long setups only. Never trade against the zone.
Step 2
Wait for an IDM label. This confirms retail stop-loss liquidity has
been swept in the direction you are looking to trade.
Step 3
Watch the ISD score reach 2/3 — a structural sweep is confirmed in
the same direction as the IDM.
Step 4
When a Displacement candle fires and ISD reaches 3/3, the complete
institutional sequence is confirmed. This is the entry trigger.
Step 5
Enter on a retest of the FVG left by the displacement candle.
For the highest-precision entry, wait for price to reach the OTE
zone within the FVG (61.8%–78.6% retracement level).
Step 6
Use Killzones to time entries. Highest-probability window is the
Silver Bullet (10:00–11:00 NY). London and NY Open are second.
For higher timeframe analysis on 4H and Daily: use Premium/Discount
zones and swing structure only. Ignore Killzones and FVG entries.

Bullish Inducement (IDM) — Bear Trap detected
Bearish Inducement (IDM) — Bull Trap detected
█ TECHNICAL NOTES
All ta.* function calls — ATR, SMA, pivot highs/lows, highest, lowest —
are executed unconditionally at the top script level in compliance with
the Pine Script v6 execution model. Never inside conditionals or
functions called conditionally.
FVG detection is locked to barstate.isconfirmed with a bar offset.
The current live bar never creates a new FVG box. No repainting.
The ISD state machine uses persistent var variables with inline
assignment in the main execution body. Pine v6 does not allow global
variable reassignment inside functions, so the state machine runs
directly in the main script scope with a 50-bar timeout guard.
