Stealth Liquidation Heatmap V6.4Stealth Liquidation Heatmap v6.4
Overview
A chart-native liquidity map that infers potential liquidity zones directly from price action on a selected higher timeframe (HTF). No external liquidation feeds are used. Boxes are time-anchored to HTF candles, extend to the right on lower timeframes, and turn gray once swept.
How it works (high level)
The core engine is multi-oscillator: an EMA-differential (MACD-style) momentum line with its smoothing line, assisted by auxiliary volatility/momentum filters. Triggers are evaluated on confirmed HTF closes to avoid intra-bar noise.
When aligned momentum conditions occur on the Signal TF:
• a bullish zone anchors slightly below the HTF candle’s low,
• a bearish zone anchors slightly above the HTF candle’s high.
Boxes use xloc=bar_time (anchored to the HTF candle’s timestamp) so levels line up cleanly on lower-timeframe charts. Box height is user-selectable (High–Low, Body |C–O|, or custom % of price). Right-extension length is measured in bars of the current chart timeframe.
Sweep logic & visuals
A zone is marked “swept” (turns gray) when a selected mode is met:
• Any touch inside the box, or
• Wick touching the outer edge (default), or
• Close beyond the edge.
Options include arm delay, freeze after sweep, show/hide swept zones, and age-based fading for clarity.
Presets
• Aggressive — momentum-only with higher sensitivity (more zones).
• Normal — momentum-only with balanced sensitivity (additional smoothing/thresholding to reduce noise).
• Conservative — momentum-only with stricter filtering (fewer zones).
How to use
Best viewed on 5–15m charts with a 4h or 1D Signal TF. Treat zones as areas where liquidity may cluster or be swept; combine with your own TA and risk management. Height/sweep/extension/fade controls help tailor visuals to instrument volatility.
Screenshot example:
Notes & limitations
This tool does not access real liquidation/OI feeds; it infers liquidity behavior algorithmically from price-based momentum structure. Because evaluations are anchored to HTF closes, new triggers finalize after the source HTF bar closes. Right-extension is measured in bars of the current chart timeframe.

Luxy BIG beautiful Dynamic ORBThis is an advanced Opening Range Breakout (ORB) indicator that tracks price breakouts from the first 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes of the trading session. It provides complete trade management including entry signals, stop-loss placement, take-profit targets, and position sizing calculations.
The ORB strategy is based on the concept that the opening range of a trading session often acts as support/resistance, and breakouts from this range tend to lead to significant moves.
What Makes This Different?
Most ORB indicators simply draw horizontal lines and leave you to figure out the rest. This indicator goes several steps further:
Multi-Stage Tracking
Instead of just one ORB timeframe, this tracks FOUR simultaneously (5min, 15min, 30min, 60min). Each stage builds on the previous one, giving you multiple trading opportunities throughout the session.
Active Trade Management
When a breakout occurs, the indicator automatically calculates and displays entry price, stop-loss, and multiple take-profit targets. These lines extend forward and update in real-time until the trade completes.
Cycle Detection
Unlike indicators that only show the first breakout, this tracks the complete cycle: Breakout → Retest → Re-breakout. You can see when price returns to test the ORB level after breaking out (potential re-entry).
Failed Breakout Warning
If price breaks out but quickly returns inside the range (within a few bars), the label changes to "FAILED BREAK" - warning you to exit or avoid the trade.
Position Sizing Calculator
Built-in risk management that tells you exactly how many shares to buy based on your account size and risk tolerance. No more guessing or manual calculations.
Advanced Filtering
Optional filters for volume confirmation, trend alignment, and Fair Value Gaps (FVG) to reduce false signals and improve win rate.
Core Features Explained
### 1. Multi-Stage ORB Levels
The indicator builds four separate Opening Range levels:
ORB 5 - First 5 minutes (fastest signals, most volatile)
ORB 15 - First 15 minutes (balanced, most popular)
ORB 30 - First 30 minutes (slower, more reliable)
ORB 60 - First 60 minutes (slowest, most confirmed)
Each level is drawn as a horizontal range on your chart. As time progresses, the ranges expand to include more price action. You can enable or disable any stage and assign custom colors to each.
How it works: During the opening minutes, the indicator tracks the highest high and lowest low. Once the time period completes, those levels become your ORB high and low for that stage.
### 2. Breakout Detection
When price closes outside the ORB range, a label appears:
BREAK UP (green label above price) - Price closed above ORB High
BREAK DOWN (red label below price) - Price closed below ORB Low
The label shows which ORB stage triggered (ORB5, ORB15, etc.) and the cycle number if tracking multiple breakouts.
Important: Signals appear on bar close only - no repainting. What you see is what you get.
### 3. Retest Detection
After price breaks out and moves away, if it returns to test the ORB level, a "RETEST" label appears (orange). This indicates:
The original breakout level is now acting as support/resistance
Potential re-entry opportunity if you missed the first breakout
Confirmation that the level is significant
The indicator requires price to move a minimum distance away before considering it a valid retest (configurable in settings).
### 4. Failed Breakout Detection
If price breaks out but returns inside the ORB range within a few bars (before the breakout is "committed"), the original label changes to "FAILED BREAK" in orange.
This warns you:
The breakout lacked conviction
Consider exiting if already in the trade
Wait for better setup
Committed Breakout: The indicator tracks how many bars price stays outside the range. Only after staying outside for the minimum number of bars does it become a committed breakout that can be retested.
### 5. TP/SL Lines (Trade Management)
When a breakout occurs, colored horizontal lines appear showing:
Entry Line (cyan for long, orange for short) - Your entry price (the ORB level)
Stop Loss Line (red) - Where to exit if trade goes against you
TP1, TP2, TP3 Lines (same color as entry) - Profit targets at 1R, 2R, 3R
These lines extend forward as new bars form, making it easy to track your trade. When a target is hit, the line turns green and the label shows a checkmark.
Lines freeze (stop updating) when:
Stop loss is hit
The final enabled take-profit is hit
End of trading session (optional setting)
### 6. Position Sizing Dashboard
The dashboard (bottom-left corner by default) shows real-time information:
Current ORB stage and range size
Breakout status (Inside Range / Break Up / Break Down)
Volume confirmation (if filter enabled)
Trend alignment (if filter enabled)
Entry and Stop Loss prices
All enabled Take Profit levels with percentages
Risk/Reward ratio
Position sizing: Max shares to buy and total risk amount
Position Sizing Example:
If your account is $25,000 and you risk 1% per trade ($250), and the distance from entry to stop loss is $0.50, the calculator shows you can buy 500 shares (250 / 0.50 = 500).
### 7. FVG Filter (Fair Value Gap)
Fair Value Gaps are price inefficiencies - gaps left by strong momentum where one candle's high doesn't overlap with a previous candle's low (or vice versa).
When enabled, this filter:
Detects bullish and bearish FVGs
Draws semi-transparent boxes around these gaps
Only allows breakout signals if there's an FVG near the breakout level
Why this helps: FVGs indicate institutional activity. Breakouts through FVGs tend to be stronger and more reliable.
Proximity setting: Controls how close the FVG must be to the ORB level. 2.0x means the breakout can be within 2 times the FVG size - a reasonable default.
### 8. Volume & Trend Filters
Volume Filter:
Requires current volume to be above average (customizable multiplier). High volume breakouts are more likely to sustain.
Set minimum multiplier (e.g., 1.5x = 50% above average)
Set "strong volume" multiplier (e.g., 2.5x) that bypasses other filters
Dashboard shows current volume ratio
Trend Filter:
Only shows breakouts aligned with a higher timeframe trend. Choose from:
VWAP - Price above/below volume-weighted average
EMA - Price above/below exponential moving average
SuperTrend - ATR-based trend indicator
Combined modes (VWAP+EMA, VWAP+SuperTrend) for stricter filtering
### 9. Pullback Filter (Advanced)
Purpose:
Waits for price to pull back slightly after initial breakout before confirming the signal.
This reduces false breakouts from immediate reversals.
How it works:
- After breakout is detected, indicator waits for a small pullback (default 2%)
- Once pullback occurs AND price breaks out again, signal is confirmed
- If no pullback within timeout period (5 bars), signal is issued anyway
Settings:
Enable Pullback Filter: Turn this filter on/off
Pullback %: How much price must pull back (2% is balanced)
Timeout (bars): Max bars to wait for pullback (5 is standard)
When to use:
- Choppy markets with many fake breakouts
- When you want higher quality signals
- Combine with Volume filter for maximum confirmation
Trade-off:
- Better signal quality
- May miss some valid fast moves
- Slight entry delay
How to Use This Indicator
### For Beginners - Simple Setup
Add the indicator to your chart (5-minute or 15-minute timeframe recommended)
Leave all default settings - they work well for most stocks
Watch for BREAK UP or BREAK DOWN labels to appear
Check the dashboard for entry, stop loss, and targets
Use the position sizing to determine how many shares to buy
Basic Trading Plan:
Wait for a clear breakout label
Enter at the ORB level (or next candle open if you're late)
Place stop loss where the red line indicates
Take profit at TP1 (50% of position) and TP2 (remaining 50%)
### For Advanced Traders - Customized Setup
Choose which ORB stages to track (you might only want ORB15 and ORB30)
Enable filters: Volume (stocks) or Trend (trending markets)
Enable FVG filter for institutional confirmation
Set "Track Cycles" mode to catch retests and re-breakouts
Customize stop loss method (ATR for volatile stocks, ORB% for stable ones)
Adjust risk per trade and account size for accurate position sizing
Advanced Strategy Example:
Enable ORB15 only (disable others for cleaner chart)
Turn on Volume filter at 1.5x with Strong at 2.5x
Enable Trend filter using VWAP
Set Signal Mode to "Track Cycles" with Max 3 cycles
Wait for aligned breakouts (Volume + Trend + Direction)
Enter on retest if you missed the initial break
### Timeframe Recommendations
5-minute chart: Scalping, very active trading, crypto
15-minute chart: Day trading, balanced approach (most popular)
30-minute chart: Swing entries, less screen time
60-minute chart: Position trading, longer holds
The indicator works on any intraday timeframe, but ORB is fundamentally a day trading strategy. Daily charts don't make sense for ORB.

## Tips & Best Practices
### General Trading Tips
ORB works best on liquid instruments (stocks with good volume, major crypto pairs)
First hour of the session is most important - that's when ORB is forming
Breakouts WITH the trend have higher success rates - use the trend filter
Failed breakouts are common - use the "Min Bars Outside" setting to filter weak moves
Not every day produces good ORB setups - be patient and selective
### Position Sizing Best Practices
Never risk more than 1-2% of your account on a single trade
Use the built-in calculator - don't guess your position size
Update your account size monthly as it grows
Smaller accounts: use $ Amount mode for simplicity
Larger accounts: use % of Account mode for scaling
### Take Profit Strategy
Most traders use: 50% at TP1, 50% at TP2
Aggressive: Hold through TP1 for TP2 or TP3
Conservative: Full exit at TP1 (1:1 risk/reward)
After TP1 hits, consider moving stop to breakeven
TP3 rarely hits - only on strong trending days
### Filter Combinations
Maximum Quality: Volume + Trend + FVG (fewest signals, highest quality)
Balanced: Volume + Trend (good quality, reasonable frequency)
Active Trading: No filters or Volume only (many signals, lower quality)
Trending Markets: Trend filter essential (indices, crypto)
Range-Bound: Volume + FVG (avoid trend filter)
### Common Mistakes to Avoid
Chasing breakouts - wait for the bar to close, don't FOMO into wicks
Ignoring the stop loss - always use it, move it manually if needed
Over-leveraging - the calculator shows MAX shares, you can buy less
Trading every signal - quality > quantity, use filters
Not tracking results - keep a journal to see what works for YOU

## Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why are no signals appearing?
A: Check that you're on an intraday timeframe (5min, 15min, etc.) and that the current time is within your session hours. Also verify that "Enable Breakout Detection" is ON and at least one ORB stage is enabled. If using filters, they might be blocking signals - try disabling them temporarily.
Q: What's the best ORB stage to use?
A: ORB15 (15 minutes) is most popular and balanced. ORB5 gives faster signals but more noise. ORB30 and ORB60 are slower but more reliable. Many traders use ORB15 + ORB30 together.
Q: Should I enable all the filters?
A: Start with no filters to see all signals. If too many false signals, add Volume filter first (stocks) or Trend filter (trending markets). FVG filter is most restrictive - use for maximum quality but fewer signals.
Q: How do I know which stop loss method to use?
A: ATR works for most cases - it adapts to volatility. Use ORB% if you want predictable stop placement. Swing is for respecting chart structure. Safer gives you the most room but largest risk.
Q: Can I use this for swing trading?
A: Not really - ORB is fundamentally an intraday strategy. The ranges reset each day. For swing trading, look at weekly support/resistance or moving averages instead.
Q: Why do TP/SL lines disappear sometimes?
A: Lines freeze (stop extending) when: stop loss is hit, the last enabled take-profit is hit, or end of session arrives (if "Freeze at EOD" is enabled). This is intentional - the trade is complete.
Q: What's the difference between "First Only" and "Track Cycles"?
A: "First Only" shows one breakout UP and one DOWN per day maximum - clean but might miss opportunities. "Track Cycles" shows breakout-retest-rebreak sequences - more signals but busier chart.
Q: Is position sizing accurate for options/forex?
A: The calculator is designed for shares (stocks). For options, ignore the share count and use the risk amount. For forex, you'll need to adapt the lot size calculation manually.
Q: How much capital do I need to use this?
A: The indicator works for any account size, but practical day trading typically requires $25,000 in the US due to Pattern Day Trader rules. Adjust the "Account Size" setting to match your capital.
Q: Can I backtest this strategy?
A: This is an indicator, not a strategy script, so it doesn't have built-in backtesting. You can visually review historical signals or code a strategy script using similar logic.
Q: Why does the dashboard show different entry price than the breakout label?
A: If you're looking at an old breakout, the ORB levels may have changed when the next stage completed. The dashboard always shows the CURRENT active range and trade setup.
Q: What's a good win rate to expect?
A: ORB strategies typically see 40-60% win rate depending on market conditions and filters used. The strategy relies on positive risk/reward ratios (2:1 or better) to be profitable even with moderate win rates.
Q: Does this work on crypto?
A: Yes, but crypto trades 24/7 so you need to define what "session start" means. Use Session Mode = Custom and set your preferred daily reset time (e.g., 0000-2359 UTC).

Volume Order Block Scanner [BOSWaves]Volume Order Block Scanner - Dynamic Detection of High-Volume Supply and Demand Zones
Overview
The Volume Order Block Scanner introduces a refined approach to institutional zone mapping, combining volume-weighted order flow, structural displacement, and ATR-based proportionality to identify regions of aggressive participation from large entities.
Unlike static zone mapping or simplistic body-size filters, this framework dynamically evaluates each candle through a multi-layer model of relative volume, candle structure, and volatility context to isolate genuine order block formations while filtering out market noise.
Each identified zone represents a potential institutional footprint, defined by significant volume surges and efficient body-to-ATR relationships that indicate purposeful positioning. Once mapped, each order block is dynamically adjusted for volatility and tracked throughout its lifecycle - from creation to mitigation to potential invalidation - producing an evolving liquidity map that adapts with price.
This adaptive behavior allows traders to visualize where liquidity was absorbed and where it remains unfilled, revealing the structural foundation of institutional intent across timeframes.
Theoretical Foundation
At its core, the Volume Order Block Scanner is built on the interaction between volume displacement and structural imbalance. Traditional order block systems often rely on fixed candle formations or simple engulfing logic, neglecting the fundamental driver of institutional activity: volume concentration relative to volatility.
This framework redefines that approach. Each candle is filtered through two comparative ratios:
Relative Volume Ratio (RVR) - the candle’s volume compared to its rolling average, confirming genuine transactional surges.
Body-ATR Ratio (BAR) - a measure of displacement efficiency relative to recent volatility, ensuring structural strength.
Only when both conditions align is an order block validated, marking a displacement event significant enough to create a lasting imbalance.
By embedding this logic within a volatility-adjusted environment, the system maintains scalability across asset classes and volatility regimes - equally effective in crypto, forex, or index markets.
How It Works
The Volume Order Block Scanner operates through a structured multi-stage process:
Displacement Detection - Identifies candles whose body and volume exceed dynamic thresholds derived from ATR and rolling volume averages. These represent the origin points of institutional aggression.
Zone Construction - Each qualified candle generates an order block with ATR-proportional dimensions to ensure consistency across instruments and timeframes. The zone includes two regions: Body Zone (the precise initiation point of displacement) and Wick Imbalance (the residual inefficiency representing unfilled liquidity).
Lifecycle Tracking - Each zone is continuously monitored for market interaction. Reactions within a defined window are classified as respected, mitigated, or invalidated, giving traders a data-driven sense of ongoing institutional relevance.
Volume Confirmation Layer - Reinforces signal integrity by ensuring that all detected blocks correspond with meaningful increases in transactional activity.
Temporal Decay Control - Zones that remain untested beyond a set period gradually lose visual and analytical weight, maintaining chart clarity and contextual precision.
Interpretation
The Volume Order Block Scanner visualizes how institutional participants interact with the market through zones of accumulation and distribution.
Bullish order blocks denote demand imbalances where price displaced upward under high volume; bearish order blocks signify supply regions formed by concentrated selling pressure.
Price revisiting these areas often reflects institutional re-entry or liquidity rebalancing, offering actionable insights for both continuation and reversal scenarios.
By continuously monitoring interaction and expiry, the framework enables traders to distinguish between active institutional footprints and historical liquidity artifacts.
Strategy Integration
The Volume Order Block Scanner integrates naturally into advanced structural and order-flow methodologies:
Liquidity Mapping : Identify high-volume regions that are likely to influence future price reactions.
Break-of-Structure Confirmation : Validate BOS and CHOCH signals through aligned order block behavior.
Volume Confluence : Combine with BOSWaves volume or momentum indicators to confirm real institutional intent.
Smart-Money Frameworks : Utilize order block retests as precision entry zones within SMC-based setups.
Trend Continuation : Filter zones in line with higher-timeframe bias to maintain directional integrity.
Technical Implementation Details
Core Engine : Dual-filter mechanism using Relative Volume Ratio (RVR) and Body-ATR Ratio (BAR).
Volatility Framework : ATR-based scaling for cross-asset proportionality.
Zone Composition : Body and wick regions plotted independently for visual clarity of imbalance.
Lifecycle Logic : Real-time monitoring of reaction, mitigation, and invalidation states.
Directional Coloring : Distinct bullish and bearish shading with adjustable transparency.
Computation Efficiency : Lightweight structure suitable for multi-timeframe or multi-asset environments.
Optimal Application Parameters
Timeframe Guidance:
5m - 15m : Reactive intraday zones for short-term liquidity engagement.
1H - 4H : Medium-term structures for swing or intraday trend mapping.
Daily - Weekly : Macro accumulation and distribution footprints.
Suggested Configuration:
Relative Volume Threshold : 1.5× - 2.0× average volume.
Body-ATR Threshold : 0.8× - 1.2× for valid displacement.
Zone Expiry : 5 - 10 bars for intraday use, 15 - 30 for swing/macro contexts.
Parameter optimization should be asset-specific, tuned to volatility conditions and liquidity depth.
Performance Characteristics
High Effectiveness:
Markets exhibiting clear displacement and directional flow.
Environments with consistent volume expansion and liquidity inefficiencies.
Reduced Effectiveness:
Range-bound markets with frequent false impulses.
Low-volume sessions lacking institutional participation.
Integration Guidelines
Confluence Framework : Pair with structure-based BOS or liquidity tools for validation.
Risk Management : Treat active order blocks as contextual areas of interest, not guaranteed reversal points.
Multi-Timeframe Logic : Derive bias from higher-timeframe blocks and execute from refined lower-timeframe structures.
Volume Verification : Confirm each reaction with concurrent volume acceleration to avoid false liquidity cues.
Disclaimer
The Volume Order Block Scanner is a quantitative mapping framework designed for professional traders and analysts. It is not a predictive or guaranteed system of profit.
Performance depends on correct configuration, market conditions, and disciplined risk management. BOSWaves recommends using this indicator as part of a comprehensive analytical process - integrating structural, volume, and liquidity context for accurate interpretation.
Rally, Base & Drop 🔹 Rally–Base–Drop (RBD) Indicator
📘 Description
The Rally–Base–Drop (RBD) indicator automatically detects and highlights key supply zones formed when price rallies, consolidates (the base), and then sharply drops — one of the most powerful Smart Money and institutional footprints.
This tool helps traders easily spot institutional supply zones, showing where big money previously entered the market to push price lower.
It’s perfect for traders using Smart Money Concepts (SMC), supply & demand, or price action–based confluence setups.
⚙️ How It Works
Detects strong impulsive rallies followed by a consolidation base (2–5 candles).
Confirms the drop leg once price breaks structure to the downside.
Marks the origin of supply (the last bullish candle before the drop).
Extends that zone forward as a potential reversal area for future retests.
Optional visual settings allow you to:
Adjust zone sensitivity (to capture cleaner or tighter bases).
Highlight only the most recent or all historical zones.
Customize colors and opacity for clarity.
📊 Use Case
Wait for price to rally, base, and drop.
Mark the RBD zone identified by the indicator.
When price retraces to that zone, look for:
Rejection candles
Breaks of minor structure
Entry confirmation on lower timeframes (5m–15m)
Target the next demand zone or equal lows.
🧠 Best For
Smart Money & ICT traders
Supply/Demand strategy users
Swing and intraday traders
Anyone wanting to visualize institutional footprints automatically🏁 Summary
This RBD indicator automates one of the most reliable institutional patterns — the rally → base → drop — giving you clear visual supply zones to trade from.
Use it for confluence with market structure, EMAs, or fair value gaps to spot high-probability reversals.

The indicator tracks three major forex trading sessions with customizable time zones:
- **Asian Session** (Default: 01:00-13:00 UTC+4) - Typically characterized by range-bound price action
- **London Session** (Default: 11:00-20:00 UTC+4) - High volatility period with increased institutional activity
- **New York Session** (Default: 17:00-00:00 UTC+4) - Overlaps with London creating peak liquidity
**How it works:**
- Automatically highlights active sessions with colored background boxes
- Draws session high/low lines which often act as intraday support/resistance
- Identifies session overlaps (e.g., London-NY overlap) where volatility and liquidity are highest
- Color-codes the price bars during overlaps to alert traders to increased opportunity periods
- Displays real-time session status (🟢 Open / 🔴 Closed) for quick reference
**Trading Application:**
Session highs and lows frequently become liquidity targets. The indicator helps traders anticipate when price might sweep these levels before continuing in the original direction. Session overlaps are prime times for major moves as multiple institutional players are active simultaneously.
---
### 2. EXTERNAL LIQUIDITY SWEEPS
**What it does:**
Identifies when price "sweeps" or breaks beyond significant swing highs and lows where stop losses are typically clustered. These sweeps often precede reversals or continuations after liquidity is collected.
**How it works:**
- Scans the previous 20 bars (configurable) to identify swing high and low points
- Marks these levels as "buyside liquidity" (above highs) or "sellside liquidity" (below lows)
- Monitors price action using three detection methods:
* **Wick Break:** Any candle wick extending beyond the liquidity level
* **Close Break:** Candle body closing beyond the level (stronger confirmation)
* **Full Retrace:** Price breaks the level then closes back inside the range (classic liquidity grab)
- Uses an ATR-based buffer to avoid false signals from minor price spikes
- Confirms sweeps only after a configurable number of confirmation bars to reduce repainting
**The Logic Behind It:**
Institutional traders need liquidity to fill large orders. Stop losses clustered above swing highs and below swing lows provide this liquidity. When these levels are swept, it often indicates smart money is entering positions in the opposite direction, causing reversals.
**Visual Representation:**
- Blue horizontal lines mark buyside liquidity zones (above price)
- Gray horizontal lines mark sellside liquidity zones (below price)
- Labels indicate when liquidity has been swept (✓) or remains active
- Historical zones are maintained for context (configurable display limit)
---
### 3. INTERNAL LIQUIDITY DETECTION
**What it does:**
Identifies equal highs (EQH) and equal lows (EQL) within recent price action - levels that have been tested multiple times without breaking. These represent internal liquidity pools that price often revisits before making larger moves.
**How it works:**
- Examines the most recent 8 bars (configurable) for price levels that occur multiple times
- Uses an ATR-based threshold (default 0.1% of ATR) to determine if highs or lows are "equal"
- Requires minimum 3 occurrences (configurable) of the same level to qualify as internal liquidity
- Tracks both the creation and sweeping of these internal levels
- Differentiates between wick breaks and close breaks for sweep confirmation
**The Concept:**
Unlike external liquidity at swing points, internal liquidity represents recent stop clusters and pending orders within the current price structure. Identifying these levels helps traders anticipate short-term price targets and potential reversal points before larger directional moves.
**Why This Matters:**
Price often needs to clear internal liquidity before making sustained moves to external liquidity levels. This creates a "roadmap" of where price is likely to go in sequence, improving trade timing.
**Visual Representation:**
- Cyan lines mark internal buyside liquidity (equal highs)
- Orange lines mark internal sellside liquidity (equal lows)
- Dashed or solid lines based on user preference
- Labels show when internal levels are swept
---
### 4. OPTIMAL TRADE ENTRY (OTE) ZONES
**What it does:**
Calculates and displays Fibonacci retracement zones (0.618-0.786) from recent swing points, representing "discount" or "premium" areas where institutional traders often enter positions after a liquidity sweep or structure break.
**How it works:**
- Identifies swing highs and lows using a 10-bar lookback period (configurable)
- Calculates three key Fibonacci levels:
* **0.618** - The "golden ratio" retracement (most significant)
* **0.705** - Mid-point between 0.618 and 0.786
* **0.786** - Deep retracement level (square root of 0.618)
- Optionally requires a structure break before displaying OTE zones
- Dynamically extends zones as new price action develops
- Tracks whether price has entered the zone (✅) or exited without filling (❌)
- Displays up to 2 most recent zones (configurable) to avoid chart clutter
**The Methodology:**
OTE zones represent areas where price is at a "discount" (for longs) or "premium" (for shorts) relative to the recent swing. After a liquidity sweep or structure break, institutional traders often wait for retracements into these zones before entering, as it offers better risk-to-reward ratios.
**Combining with Liquidity:**
The most powerful setups occur when:
1. External liquidity is swept
2. Price retraces into an OTE zone
3. Internal liquidity is present as a target
This confluence suggests smart money activity and high-probability trade opportunities.
**Visual Representation:**
- Shaded blue zone between 0.618 and 0.786 levels
- Three horizontal lines showing key Fibonacci levels with different colors/styles
- Labels (🎯) indicate bullish or bearish OTE zones
- Entry (✅) and exit (❌) status for each zone
---
## WHY THESE FEATURES WORK TOGETHER
This indicator combines these four components because they represent different stages of institutional trading behavior:
1. **Session Timing** - Identifies WHEN institutional activity is highest
2. **Liquidity Sweeps** - Shows WHERE smart money is collecting liquidity
3. **OTE Zones** - Highlights WHERE institutional entries likely occur after sweeps
4. **Internal Liquidity** - Provides SHORT-TERM targets for profit-taking or add-ons
Rather than using each concept in isolation, this integration creates a complete market structure framework. For example:
- A buyside liquidity sweep during London open →
- Followed by a retrace into a bullish OTE zone →
- With internal sellside liquidity as the initial target
This sequence represents a complete high-probability trade setup aligned with smart money principles.
---
## ANTI-REPAINTING FEATURES
**The Repainting Problem:**
Many indicators that identify patterns on historical data repaint their signals when live trading, showing signals that weren't actually there in real-time. This creates a false sense of accuracy.
**Our Solution:**
- **Confirmation Bars Setting:** Signals only appear after X bars have confirmed the pattern (default: 2 bars)
- **Marked Confirmation:** Labels show "C" when using confirmed signals
- **Trade-off:** More confirmation = less repainting but slightly delayed signals
- **User Control:** Traders can toggle between real-time signals (faster but may repaint) and confirmed signals (delayed but reliable)
---
## KEY CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS
### Master Controls
- Toggle each major feature on/off independently
- Combine only the features relevant to your trading style
### Display Settings
- Adjust lookback periods for each component
- Control number of historical zones displayed
- Customize colors, line styles, and transparency
- Show/hide labels and session names
- Configure text sizes for different screen setups
### Detection Sensitivity
- **Sweep Detection:** Choose between wick breaks, close breaks, or full retraces
- **ATR Buffer:** Add distance requirements to confirm sweeps (reduces false signals)
- **Equal Level Threshold:** Adjust how close levels must be to qualify as "equal"
- **Confirmation Bars:** Balance between signal speed and reliability
### Alert System
- Session open/close notifications
- Liquidity sweep alerts
- OTE zone entry alerts
- Configurable alert frequency and types
---
## HOW TO USE THIS INDICATOR
### Basic Setup
1. Add the indicator to your chart (works on all timeframes, though 5M-1H recommended for intraday)
2. Enable the features you want to use via Master Controls
3. Adjust colors and transparency to match your chart preferences
4. Configure alert preferences if using notifications
### Trading Workflow
**Step 1: Identify the Session**
- Determine which trading session is active or approaching
- Note session highs/lows as potential liquidity targets
- Be especially alert during session overlaps
**Step 2: Watch for Liquidity Sweeps**
- Monitor external liquidity lines (swing highs/lows)
- When price sweeps liquidity, anticipate a potential reversal
- Stronger sweeps (close breaks + full retraces) are more significant
**Step 3: Wait for OTE Retracement**
- After a sweep, wait for price to retrace into the OTE zone (0.618-0.786)
- Bullish OTE after sellside sweep = potential long
- Bearish OTE after buyside sweep = potential short
**Step 4: Use Internal Liquidity as Targets**
- Look for internal liquidity in the direction of your trade
- These serve as initial profit targets
- External liquidity serves as extended targets
**Step 5: Manage Confirmation Settings**
- For live trading, use confirmed signals (2+ confirmation bars)
- For backtesting or analysis, you may use real-time signals
- Note that confirmed signals appear with "C" marking
### Example Trade Scenarios
**Bullish Setup:**
1. London session opens (increased volume)
2. Price sweeps sellside liquidity below Asian low
3. Price retraces into bullish OTE zone (0.618-0.786 of the sweep move)
4. Target internal buyside liquidity, then external buyside liquidity
**Bearish Setup:**
1. NY session overlap with London (peak liquidity)
2. Price sweeps buyside liquidity above recent high
3. Price retraces into bearish OTE zone
4. Target internal sellside liquidity, then session lows

Simulated Liquidity Zone Heatmap (SLZH) v5 (Stable)# 📈 Simulated Liquidity Zone Heatmap (SLZH) v5 - Order Flow Proxy & Adaptive VWAP
## 💡 Overview
The **Simulated Liquidity Zone Heatmap (SLZH)** is an advanced, stable Pine Script indicator designed to give traders an edge by visualizing **structural market liquidity** and **institutional order flow**. It acts as a powerful proxy for structural zones (like average cost basis) that are often missed by traditional technical analysis.
SLZH achieves this by combining two highly effective components:
1. **Volume-Based Liquidity Zones (VBLZ):** A dynamic, adaptive heatmap based on **Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP)** and Standard Deviation.
2. **Order Block (OB) Signals:** Stable, high-conviction signals marking the origin of strong impulsive moves.
---
## 📊 Key Features & Interpretation
### 1. Volume-Based Liquidity Zones (VBLZ) - The Adaptive Heatmap
The VBLZ dynamically paints a three-tiered support/resistance system, representing the market's average cost basis and conviction. This is primarily used as a **mean-reversion tool**.
| Component | Interpretation | Trading Action |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **VWAP Center** (White Line) | The **Center of Liquidity**. Price is often attracted back to this line. | Use as a **Primary Target** when trading from the outer zones. |
| **Strong VBLZ** (Darkest Color) | **Highest Volume Concentration** (1 StdDev). Primary structural support/resistance. | Look for **Reversals** when price enters this zone. |
| **Mid/Weak VBLZ** (Lighter Colors) | Secondary areas of interest. | Use as **Secondary Targets** or to confirm an extended move. |
### 2. Order Block (OB) Signals - Structural Support/Resistance
The OB signals mark the last counter-trend candle before a strong, sustained move, indicating a potential institutional supply or demand zone. These are displayed as stable triangles on the chart.
* **Bullish OB** (Green Triangle Up): Marks a potential **Demand Zone**. Look for high-probability **long entries** when price returns to the area of this signal.
* **Bearish OB** (Red Triangle Down): Marks a potential **Supply Zone**. Look for high-probability **short entries** when price returns to the area of this signal.
---
## 🎯 High-Conviction Trading Strategy
The most effective way to use SLZH is to look for **confluence** between the dynamic VBLZ and the static OB signals. This combination creates the highest probability trade setups.
| Trade Setup | VBLZ Condition | OB Signal Condition | Action | Rationale |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **High-Conviction Long** | Price is near or entering the **Strong VBLZ** from above. | A **Bullish OB Signal** is present in the same area. | **Enter Long** | Strong alignment between the market's average cost basis (VBLZ) and a structural demand zone (OB). |
| **High-Conviction Short** | Price is near or entering the **Strong VBLZ** from below. | A **Bearish OB Signal** is present in the same area. | **Enter Short** | Strong alignment between the market's average cost basis (VBLZ) and a structural supply zone (OB). |
### Setting Up Alerts
The script is equipped with three critical alert conditions for automated monitoring:
1. **Price in Strong VBLZ:** Notifies you when price enters the highest conviction heatmap zone.
2. **Bullish OB Signal:** Notifies you when a new Demand Zone is established.
3. **Bearish OB Signal:** Notifies you when a new Supply Zone is established.
---
## ⚙️ Customization (Inputs)
Adjust the indicator's sensitivity via the settings menu:
* **VBLZ Lookback Length:** Controls the recency of the heatmap calculation. **Higher values** create a smoother, longer-term zone.
* **OB Min Price Move (ATR Multiplier):** Filters the Order Blocks. **Increase this value** to show only the highest-conviction zones that led to the most powerful price moves.
---
**Note on Stability:** This is **v5**, a highly stable version optimized to avoid common Pine Script runtime errors. It uses stable `plotshape` signals instead of persistent boxes for the Order Blocks to ensure reliable performance on all charts.
Supports and ResistancesThis tool is ideal for traders who want to focus on key price levels for entry, exit, or stop-loss decisions. By customizing the violation and exception settings, users can filter out weaker levels and focus on more significant support and resistance zones.

📊 What This Indicator Does
Ever wish the market would just tell you where the important levels are? Well, buckle up, because this indicator is like having a market whisperer on your chart!
Based on cutting-edge hierarchical market structure analysis (fancy words for "smart support and resistance"), this bad boy uses ATR-based Directional Change to identify turning points that actually matter. No more guessing where price might bounce or break—let the algorithm do the heavy lifting while you sip your coffee ☕

🎨 How to Use This Thing
Add to Chart - Duh! 😄
Set Your ATR Lookback - Use the guide above (don't wing it!)

Watch the Magic - See horizontal lines appear at key S/R zones
Check the Table - Top-right corner shows current levels (fancy!)
Set Alerts - Get notified when price approaches or breaks levels
Trading Strategies 🎲
The Bounce Play:
Price approaches Level 2 or 3 support → Look for bullish reversal signals
Take profit at the next level resistance
Stop loss just below the support level
The Breakout Play:
Price breaks through Level 2/3 resistance with volume → Go long
Next level becomes your target
Failed breakout? Level becomes resistance again (classic fake-out)
The Confluence Play:
When Level 3 aligns with your favorite indicator (RSI oversold, moving average, Fibonacci) → Chef's kiss! 👨🍳💋
These multi-confirmation setups are where the money lives
🚨 Important Notes (Read This or Blame Yourself Later)
⚠️ This indicator REPAINTS on the current bar until an extreme is confirmed. That's not a bug, it's how directional change works. The past levels are solid as a rock, but the pending one is still... pending.
⚠️ More levels ≠ Better results. Showing all 5 levels is like having 5 GPS apps shouting directions at once. Pick 2-3 levels max.
⚠️ ATR Lookback matters! Wrong setting = garbage results. Use the guide above or experiment carefully.
⚠️ Volatile markets (crypto, meme stocks) work GREAT with this. Choppy, range-bound markets? Meh.
⚠️ Combine with other tools! This shows you WHERE, not WHEN. Use momentum indicators, volume, or your favorite chicken entrails for timing 🐔
🦜 Final Word from Stock Kaka
Remember: Indicators don't make money, traders do. This tool shows you where the market has historically respected structure. What you do with that info? That's on you, champ!
Use proper risk management, don't YOLO your rent money, and may your stops never get hunted 🎯
Trade smart, trade safe, and let Stock Kaka be your guide!

W1 Keyzones Overlay (D1) by Delta 1 / Norman AXLRODW1 Keyzones Overlay (D1) — Description and User Guide
What it does:
This indicator projects weekly key zones (W1) onto your D1 chart. It detects confirmed weekly pivot highs and lows and derives resistance and support zones. Zones are intentionally invisible (no fill, no border). Instead, centered labels are shown at the current bar: “W1 Res” for weekly resistance and “W1 Sup” for weekly support. Two alerts are included: “Approach” (price approaches a zone within a set distance) and “Hit” (price is inside a zone).
Features:
Automatic W1 pivot high/low detection. Configurable zone width (percentage of pivot price). Centered labels placed at the zone midpoint and aligned to the current bar on the right. Invisible zones to keep the chart clean. Alerts for approach and hit. FX pip handling including the JPY 0.01 pip convention.
Inputs:
W1 Pivot Period (default 5): sensitivity of weekly pivot detection; higher values produce fewer, stronger zones.
Max Zones: maximum number of stored and visible zones.
Zone Width (% of price): for example 0.0025 equals 0.25% of price.
Show Labels: toggle to show or hide W1 Res/W1 Sup labels.
Colors: base colors for resistance and support labels (zones remain invisible).
Approach Distance (pips): distance to the top of a zone that triggers the Approach alert; pip size is handled automatically, JPY pairs use 0.01.
How to read it:
Focus on the labels. W1 Res marks an active weekly resistance zone. W1 Sup marks an active weekly support zone. Labels sit at the midpoint of each zone and at the current bar, so key levels are always visible on the right side of the chart. Zones are invisible by design; the internal zone width still governs the alert logic and whether price is considered “inside” the zone. Use the alerts as prompts: “Approach” is an early heads-up, “Hit” signals active interaction with the zone where you can look for confirmation via price action.
Typical use:
Set your directional bias on D1 by noting which weekly levels are nearby. Check confluence with your own levels, moving averages, structure, volume and the calendar. Consider playbook ideas such as rebounds at W1 Sup after confirmation, fades at W1 Res with protective stops, or break-and-retest setups after a clean break.
Best practices:
Use D1 for context and time entries on H1 or M15. Increase the pivot period if you see too many labels. Adjust zone width so it is neither too narrow (false touches) nor too wide (diluted signals). Set a larger approach distance for JPY pairs. Never use the tool in isolation; combine it with price action, regime (trend or range), volatility and event risk.
Alert setup (TradingView):
Create a new alert. In Condition, select this indicator. Choose either “Approach to W1 Keyzone” or “W1 Keyzone Hit.” Pick the frequency (once per bar or once per bar close). Optionally customize the message with symbol and plan. Save.
Notes and limits:
FX pip logic auto-detects JPY pairs (pip equals 0.01). Non-FX defaults to 1.0 for the pip unit. The indicator uses confirmed weekly pivots and does not look ahead; labels update each bar while zones remain stable. Very large Max Zones values over long histories may affect performance. Zones are intentionally invisible; reduce transparency or add border width in the code if you want visible boxes.
Example workflow:
On D1, locate nearby W1 Res or W1 Sup relative to current price. Check the calendar for risk events such as CPI, NFP or central bank decisions. Drop to H1 or M15 and wait for a trigger (rejection or break and retest). Place the stop beyond or behind the zone and plan risk-reward. Manage the trade with partials at the first structure level, move to break even after a retest, and let the remainder run.

Why do I only see labels? This is by design to keep charts clean. The logic still uses the zones internally.
Can I make zones visible? Yes. Reduce transparency and/or increase border width in the code or expose those as inputs.
How large should the approach distance be for JPY pairs? Typically larger than for non-JPY, for example 40 to 80 pips where one pip equals 0.01.

Darvas Lines/Box1. Overview
The Darvas Lines/Box (v1.0) is a dynamic trend following indicator based on the renowned method developed by Nicolas Darvas. It's designed to identify clear price consolidation ranges and detect decisive breakouts, crucial for positional and swing trading strategies.
This indicator automatically draws and adjusts the consolidation ranges, and includes modern enhancements such as Advanced Retest Confirmation and exposed alert conditions, providing reliable signals for monitoring and acting on trend continuations.
2. Core Features
Custom Display Mode (Lines/Box): Allows the user to toggle the visualization between showing just the Breakout Lines (Lines) or displaying the consolidation area with a filled background box (Box).
Source Selection (Wicks/Body): Users can choose whether the box boundaries are defined by the candlestick wicks (price extremes) or the candlestick body (open/close price). This feature is critical for adjusting sensitivity to market noise.
Dynamic Box Drawing: Draws Darvas boxes automatically by tracking price highs and lows based on user-defined parameters (Bars to Define Range, Max Box Height).
Retest Confirmation: Detects if the old resistance/support line functions effectively after a breakout. When a retest is confirmed, the line is extended and its color changes.
Price Labels (Stable Lock): Displays the highest and lowest box prices, fixed to the left outer edge of the box. This ensures stable visibility.
Progress Labels: Visualizes the current line price and the percentage distance to the closing price on the right side of the box, showing progress toward the next breakout.
3. Trading Strategy: How to Use the Indicator
This indicator is primarily used to identify trend initiation and trend continuation signals.
A. Entry Strategy (Breakout)
Long Entry Action: Consider taking a long entry when the price closes above the Upper Line (Green Line), signaled by a BULLISH BREAKOUT alert.
Signal: Use the BULLISH BREAKOUT alert.
Short Entry Action: Consider taking a short entry when the price closes below the Lower Line (Red Line), signaled by a BEARISH BREAKOUT alert.
Signal: Use the BEARISH BREAKOUT alert.
B. Retest Strategy (Add-on/Confirmation)
Action: When the price pulls back to touch the broken line (signaled by RETEST CONFIRMED), this confirms the break's validity.
Alert: The RETEST CONFIRMED alert is triggered at this moment.
C. Risk Management (General)
Stop Loss: The initial stop-loss is typically set just beyond the opposite side of the broken box. As the trend progresses and new boxes form, the lower boundary of the most recently formed box can be used as a trailing stop for managing risk.
4. Setting Parameters
Line Source (Wicks/Body): Crucial for sensitivity. 'Wicks' tracks price extremes; 'Body' tracks stronger close-to-close movements, ignoring noise.
Bars to Define Range: Defines the calculation period (in bars) for the box.
Cooldown Bars After Breakout: Sets the waiting period after a breakout before a new box can start forming.
Retest Lookback Bars (Phase 3): Sets the maximum number of bars to check for a retest during the cooldown phase.
Max Gap for Retest (%): Defines the maximum percentage distance from the line allowed to confirm a retest (Set to Zero (0.0%) for near-touch detection).
Alert Frequency (Breakout): Allows selection between Continuous and Once per Box for breakout signals.
5. Alerts: How to Set Up the Triggers
This indicator exposes several specific conditions to the TradingView alert panel, allowing you to select the exact event you want to monitor.
Step-by-Step Alert Setup:
Open the Alert Panel on the chart.
In the Condition field, select the indicator's name.
In the Alert Condition field, choose the specific event you want to monitor:
1. ANY DARVAS EVENT (Consolidated)
2. BULLISH BREAKOUT (Individual)
3. BEARISH BREAKOUT (Individual)
4. RETEST CONFIRMED (Individual)
In the Trigger field (Frequency), select your preferred native option (e.g., "Once Per Bar Close" or "Once per bar").
The Wave Levels (ORB Indicator)This Indicator is made for the ORB trader. It's purpose is to help make your charting faster by providing some basic key levels to reference at a glance. This was optimized to be used on the 5m timeframe.
Key features:
1. Green and Red ORB rays to indicate the 15 minute Opening Range. These ranges will only extend as long as its respective session's length.
2. Previous sessions zones for historical easily identification of historical data (best used in UTC-4 timezone)
3. White Liquidity Rays. These rays are used to mark a previous session's high or low which hasn't been swept yet. This makes for a good TP area or identifying a potential reversal area.
Once a previous session high or low has been taken, the ray will automatically remove.

SMC FVG/IFVG (Multi-TF x 4) [ZAUTEC]SMC FVG/IFVG (Multi-TF x 4): Multi-Timeframe Fair Value Gap with Inversed FVG Detection
This powerful Pine Script indicator is designed to help traders identify, track, and manage Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and their respective Inversed Fair Value Gaps (IFVGs) across up to four different timeframes simultaneously.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Analysis (4x): Analyze and display FVGs from four distinct timeframes alongside your current chart, offering a comprehensive view of market imbalances across various scales.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection: Automatically identifies classic three-candle FVGs (market inefficiencies).
Customizable FVG Length: Set how many bars the FVG boxes should initially extend for.
Minimum Gap Size: Filter out minor, insignificant gaps using a tick-based minimum size threshold.
Optional Box Extension: Dynamically extend FVG boxes to the current bar index or use a fixed extension for a cleaner chart.
Inversed FVG (IFVG) Logic: Detects a high-probability reversal pattern where a previously filled FVG zone is immediately followed by the formation of a new, opposite FVG within or adjacent to the same area. This confirms the old FVG has "flipped roles" (e.g., from support to resistance).
Lookback Period: Defines how long the indicator searches for a corresponding FVG breach to confirm the IFVG.
IFVG Minimum Size: Customizable minimum size threshold for the IFVG.
Dynamic Box Management:
Automatic Fill Deletion: FVGs are automatically removed from the chart when price action fully trades through the gap, signifying the imbalance has been "filled."
IFVG Tracking: IFVGs are tracked and removed from the chart after the configurable lookback period.
Full Customization: Control the visibility, colors, border styles (solid, dashed, dotted), and width for FVG, Bearish FVG, Bullish FVG, and IFVG boxes independently for each of the four timeframes.
How to Use
Select Timeframes: Choose up to four desired timeframes in the settings (e.g., "15" for 15-minute, "4H" for 4-hour, "D" for Daily). Leave the field empty to use the chart's current timeframe.
Toggle Visibility: Use the Show FVG and Show IFVG toggles to focus on the imbalances you wish to see.
Adjust Extension: Set Extend Boxes to bar index to true to keep all open FVG boxes drawn all the way to the current live price bar.
Interpret the Gaps:
FVG (Bullish/Bearish): Potential areas for price to return to and find support/resistance.
IFVG (Inverse FVG): Stronger signals that a previous zone of imbalance has been violated and is likely to act as a significant flip zone for future price movements.
This indicator is an essential tool for traders utilizing concepts like ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and SMC (Smart Money Concepts), providing a clear visual representation of market structure and liquidity voids.
Chronos Reversal Labs🧬 Chronos Reversal Lab - Machine Learning Market Structure Analysis
OVERVIEW
Chronos Reversal Lab (CRL) is an advanced market structure analyzer that combines computational intelligence kernels with classical technical analysis to identify high-probability reversal opportunities. The system integrates Shannon Entropy analysis, Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA), Kalman adaptive filtering, and harmonic pattern recognition into a unified confluence-based signal engine.
WHAT MAKES IT ORIGINAL
Unlike traditional reversal indicators that rely solely on oscillators or pattern recognition, CRL employs a multi-kernel machine learning approach that analyzes market behavior through information theory, statistical physics, and adaptive state-space estimation. The system combines these computational methods with geometric pattern analysis and market microstructure to create a comprehensive reversal detection framework.
HOW IT WORKS (Technical Methodology)
1. COMPUTATIONAL KERNELS
Shannon Entropy Analysis
Measures market uncertainty using information theory:
• Discretizes price returns into bins (user-configurable 5-20 bins)
• Calculates probability distribution entropy over lookback window
• Normalizes entropy to 0-1 scale (0 = perfectly predictable, 1 = random)
• Low entropy states (< 0.3 default) indicate algorithmic clarity phases
• When entropy drops, directional moves become statistically more probable
Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA)
Statistical technique measuring long-range correlations:
• Analyzes price series across multiple box sizes (4 to user-set maximum)
• Calculates fluctuation scaling exponent (Alpha)
• Alpha > 0.5: Trend persistence (momentum regime)
• Alpha < 0.5: Mean reversion tendency (reversal regime)
• Alpha range 0.3-1.5 mapped to trading strategies
Kalman Adaptive Filter
State-space estimation for lag-free trend tracking:
• Maintains separate fast and slow Kalman filters
• Process noise and measurement noise are user-configurable
• Tracks price state with adaptive gain adjustments
• Calculates acceleration (second derivative) for momentum detection
• Provides cleaner trend signals than traditional moving averages
2. HARMONIC PATTERN DETECTION
Identifies geometric reversal patterns:
• Gartley: 0.618 AB/XA, 0.786 AD/XA retracement
• Bat: 0.382-0.5 AB/XA, 0.886 AD/XA retracement
• Butterfly: 0.786 AB/XA, 1.272-1.618 AD/XA extension
• Cypher: 0.382-0.618 AB/XA, 0.786 AD/XA retracement
Pattern Validation Process:
• Requires alternating swing structure (XABCD points)
• Fibonacci ratio tolerance: 0.02-0.20 (user-adjustable precision)
• Minimum 50% ratio accuracy score required
• PRZ (Potential Reversal Zone) calculated around D point
• Zone size: ATR-based with pattern-specific multipliers
• Active pattern tracking with 100-bar invalidation window
3. MARKET STRUCTURE ANALYSIS
Swing Point Detection:
• Pivot-based swing identification (3-21 bars configurable)
• Minimum swing size: ATR multiples (0.5-5.0x)
• Adaptive filtering: volatility regime adjustment (0.7-1.3x)
• Swing confirmation tracking with RSI and volume context
• Maintains structural history (up to 500 swings)
Break of Structure (BOS):
• Detects price crossing previous swing highs/lows
• Used for trend continuation vs reversal classification
• Optional requirement for signal validation
Support/Resistance Detection:
• Identifies horizontal levels from swing clusters
• Touch counting algorithm (price within ATR×0.3 tolerance)
• Weighted by recency and number of tests
• Dynamic updating as structure evolves
4. CONFLUENCE SCORING SYSTEM

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS
• This indicator does not predict future price movements
• Computational kernels calculate probabilities, not certainties
• Past confluence scores do not guarantee future signal performance
• Always backtest on YOUR specific instruments and timeframes before live trading
• Machine learning kernels require calibration period (minimum 100 bars of data)
• Performance varies significantly across market conditions and regimes
• Signals are suggestions for analysis, not automated trading instructions
• Proper risk management (stops, position sizing) is mandatory
• Complex calculations may impact performance on lower-end devices
• Designed for liquid markets; avoid illiquid or gap-prone instruments
PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS
Computational Intensity:
• DFA analysis: Moderate (scales with length and box size parameters)
• Entropy calculation: Moderate (scales with lookback and bins)
• Kalman filtering: Low (efficient state-space updates)
• Harmonic detection: Moderate to High (pattern matching across swing history)
• Overall: Medium computational load
Optimization Tips:
• Reduce Structural Analysis Depth (144 default → 50-100 for faster performance)
• Increase Calc Step (2 default → 3-4 for lighter load)
• Reduce Pattern Analysis Depth (8 default → 3-5 if harmonics not primary focus)
• Limit Draw Window (150 bars default prevents visual clutter on long charts)
• Disable unused confluence factors to reduce calculations
Best Suited For:
• Liquid instruments: Major forex, stock indices, large-cap crypto
• Active timeframes: 5-minute through daily (avoid tick/second charts)
• Trending or ranging markets: Adapts to both via regime detection
• Pattern traders: Harmonic integration adds geometric confluence
• Multi-timeframe analysts: HTF bias and regime detection support this approach
Not Recommended For:
• Illiquid penny stocks or micro-cap altcoins
• Markets with frequent gaps (stocks outside regular hours without gap adjustment)
• Extremely fast timeframes (tick, second charts) due to calculation overhead
• Pure mean-reversion systems (unless using CONSERVATIVE mode with DFA filters)
METHODOLOGY NOTE
The computational kernels (Shannon Entropy, DFA, Kalman Filter) are established statistical and signal processing techniques adapted for financial time series analysis. These are deterministic mathematical algorithms, not predictive AI models. The term "machine learning" refers to the adaptive, data-driven nature of the calculations, not neural networks or training processes.
Confluence scoring is rule-based with regime-dependent weighting. The system does not "learn" from historical trades but adapts its sensitivity to current volatility and trend conditions through mathematical regime classification.

Niv Deal + Previ D W M + OPR + Asian🧭 Indicator Description (English)
Name: Niveaux Dealers + Previous D/W/M Auto + OPR + Asian Session
Platform: TradingView (Pine Script v6)
Type: Multi-module visual indicator for market structure and session ranges
🧩 Overview
This indicator combines three complementary modules to help traders visualize key market levels, opening ranges, and session dynamics — all in one comprehensive tool.
It is designed primarily for index and futures trading (e.g. NQ, ES, DAX), but can be applied to any market or timeframe.
MODULE 1 — Dealers Levels + Previous High/Low (Auto)
This first module automatically extracts and plots custom Dealer Levels and Previous Period Levels.
It can parse manually entered price levels (from a single text input) such as daily max/min, control levels, put supports, and call resistances — then draw horizontal lines and labels on the chart.
Features:
One text input for all dealer levels (easy copy-paste format).
Automatic parsing of prices from text (ignores irrelevant characters).
Groups of levels:
Maxima (Max 1D / Event / Extreme)
Minima (Min 1D / Event / Extreme)
Buyer/Seller Controls
Put Supports and Call Resistances
Independent color, style, and width for each line.
Transparent rectangular labels positioned perfectly on the levels.
Previous Daily, Weekly, and Monthly High/Low levels added automatically.
Optional summary table showing all levels and values in real time.
MODULE 2 — OPR (Opening Price Range)
The second module highlights the Opening Price Range, defined by the first 15 minutes (or any chosen period) of the trading session.
Features:
Fully configurable start and end time (local chart timezone).
Displays:
High, Low, and Midline (median)
Optional rectangle between high/low
Optional labels on each line
Independent color, line style, and thickness.
Works perfectly with non-standard sessions (e.g. 13:30–22:00 UTC for U.S. futures).
Uses local chart time instead of exchange time for intuitive control.
MODULE 3 — Asian Session Range
The third module draws the Asian trading session range, automatically detecting price action between configurable hours (default 17:00 → 01:00).
Features:
Adjustable start and end time (supports overnight sessions).
Plots Asian High, Asian Low, and Asian Middle (mid-range line).
Highlights the Asian box area with semi-transparent color.
Optional labels at the end of each level.
Fully synchronized with the chart’s local timezone (same logic as OPR).
Simple toggle to enable or disable the entire Asian module.
⚙️ Customization & Display
Each module can be toggled independently.
Colors, line styles (solid, dashed, dotted), and thickness are customizable.
Label visibility and extensions (left/right) can be adjusted.
The indicator is lightweight and optimized for real-time performance.
💡 Use Case
Traders can use this multi-module setup to:
Identify dealer reaction zones and institutional levels.
Track previous highs/lows for potential liquidity sweeps.
Monitor session ranges (Opening and Asian) for volatility shifts.
Combine all three perspectives (Dealer, Session, Historical) into one unified view.
