Turtle Soup ICT Strategy [TradingFinder] FVG + CHoCH/CSD🔵 Introduction
The ICT Turtle Soup trading setup, designed in the ICT style, operates by hunting or sweeping liquidity zones to exploit false breakouts and failed breakouts in key liquidity Zones, such as recent highs, lows, or major support and resistance levels.
This setup identifies moments when the price breaches these liquidity zones, triggering stop orders placed (Stop Hunt) by other traders, and then quickly reverses direction. These movements are often associated with liquidity sweeps that create temporary market imbalances.
The reversal is typically confirmed by one of three structural shifts : a Market Structure Shift (MSS), a Change of Character (CHoCH), or a break of the Change in State of Delivery (CISD). Each of these structural shifts provides a reliable signal to interpret market intent and align trading decisions with the expected price movement. After the structural shift, the price frequently pullback to a Fair Value Gap (FVG), offering a precise entry point for trades.
By integrating key concepts such as liquidity, liquidity sweeps, stop order activation, structural shifts (MSS, CHoCH, CISD), and price imbalances, the ICT Turtle Soup setup enables traders to identify reversal points and key entry zones with high accuracy.
This strategy is highly versatile, making it applicable across markets such as forex, stocks, cryptocurrencies, and futures. It offers traders a robust and systematic approach to understanding price movements and optimizing their trading strategies
🟣 Bullish and Bearish Setups
Bullish Setup : The price first sweeps below a Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) zone, then reverses upward after forming an MSS or CHoCH, and finally pulls back to an FVG, creating a buying opportunity.
Bearish Setup : The price first sweeps above a Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) zone, then reverses downward after forming an MSS or CHoCH, and finally pulls back to an FVG, creating a selling opportunity.
🔵 How to Use
To effectively utilize the ICT Turtle Soup trading setup, begin by identifying key liquidity zones, such as recent highs, lows, or support and resistance levels, in higher timeframes.
Then, monitor lower timeframes for a Liquidity Sweep and confirmation of a Market Structure Shift (MSS) or Change of Character (CHoCH).
After the structural shift, the price typically pulls back to an FVG, offering an optimal trade entry point. Below, the bullish and bearish setups are explained in detail.
🟣 Bullish Turtle Soup Setup
Identify Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) : In a higher timeframe (e.g., 1-hour or 4-hour), identify recent price lows or support levels that serve as SSL zones, typically the location of stop-loss orders for traders.
Observe a Liquidity Sweep : On a lower timeframe (e.g., 15-minute or 30-minute), the price must move below one of these liquidity zones and then reverse. This movement indicates a liquidity sweep.
Confirm Market Structure Shift : After the price reversal, look for a structural shift (MSS or CHoCH) indicated by the formation of a Higher Low (HL) and Higher High (HH).
Enter the Trade : Once the structural shift is confirmed, the price typically pulls back to an FVG. Enter a buy trade in this zone, set a stop-loss slightly below the recent low, and target Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) in the higher timeframe for profit.
🟣 Bearish Turtle Soup Setup
Identify Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) : In a higher timeframe, identify recent price highs or resistance levels that serve as BSL zones, typically the location of stop-loss orders for traders.
Observe a Liquidity Sweep : On a lower timeframe, the price must move above one of these liquidity zones and then reverse. This movement indicates a liquidity sweep.
Confirm Market Structure Shift : After the price reversal, look for a structural shift (MSS or CHoCH) indicated by the formation of a Lower High (LH) and Lower Low (LL).
Enter the Trade : Once the structural shift is confirmed, the price typically pulls back to an FVG. Enter a sell trade in this zone, set a stop-loss slightly above the recent high, and target Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) in the higher timeframe for profit.
🔵 Settings
Higher TimeFrame Levels : This setting allows you to specify the higher timeframe (e.g., 1-hour, 4-hour, or daily) for identifying key liquidity zones.
Swing period : You can set the swing detection period.
Max Swing Back Method : It is in two modes "All" and "Custom". If it is in "All" mode, it will check all swings, and if it is in "Custom" mode, it will check the swings to the extent you determine.
Max Swing Back : You can set the number of swings that will go back for checking.
FVG Length : Default is 120 Bar.
MSS Length : Default is 80 Bar.
FVG Filter : This refines the number of identified FVG areas based on a specified algorithm to focus on higher quality signals and reduce noise.
Types of FVG filter s:
Very Aggressive Filter: Adds a condition where, for an upward FVG, the last candle's highest price must exceed the middle candle's highest price, and for a downward FVG, the last candle's lowest price must be lower than the middle candle's lowest price. This minimally filters out FVGs.
Aggressive Filter: Builds on the Very Aggressive mode by ensuring the middle candle is not too small, filtering out more FVGs.
Defensive Filter: Adds criteria regarding the size and structure of the middle candle, requiring it to have a substantial body and specific polarity conditions, filtering out a significant number of FVGs.
Very Defensive Filter: Further refines filtering by ensuring the first and third candles are not small-bodied doji candles, retaining only the highest quality signals.
In the indicator settings, you can customize the visibility of various elements, including MSS, FVG, and HTF Levels. Additionally, the color of each element can be adjusted to match your preferences. This feature allows traders to tailor the chart display to their specific needs, enhancing focus on the key data relevant to their strategy.
🔵 Conclusion
The ICT Turtle Soup trading setup is a powerful tool in the ICT style, enabling traders to exploit false breakouts in key liquidity zones. By combining concepts of liquidity, liquidity sweeps, market structure shifts (MSS and CHoCH), and pullbacks to FVG, this setup helps traders identify precise reversal points and execute trades with reduced risk and increased accuracy.
With applications across various markets, including forex, stocks, crypto, and futures, and its customizable indicator settings, the ICT Turtle Soup setup is ideal for both beginner and advanced traders. By accurately identifying liquidity zones in higher timeframes and confirming structure shifts in lower timeframes, this setup provides a reliable strategy for navigating volatile market conditions.
Ultimately, success with this setup requires consistent practice, precise market analysis, and proper risk management, empowering traders to make smarter decisions and achieve their trading goals.

Twiggs Money FlowTwiggs Money Flow (TMF)
This indicator is an implementation of the Twiggs Money Flow (TMF), a volume-based tool designed to measure buying and selling pressure over a specified period. TMF is an enhancement of Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), utilizing more sophisticated smoothing techniques for improved accuracy and reduced noise. This version is highly customizable and includes advanced features for both new and experienced traders.
What is Twiggs Money Flow?
Twiggs Money Flow was developed by Colin Twiggs to provide a clearer picture of market momentum and the balance between buyers and sellers. It uses a combination of price action, trading volume, and range calculations to assess whether a market is under buying or selling pressure.
Unlike traditional volume indicators, TMF incorporates Weighted Moving Averages (WMA) by default but allows for other moving average types (SMA, EMA, VWMA) for added flexibility. This makes it adaptable to various trading styles and market conditions.
Features of This Script:
Customizable Moving Average Types:
Select from SMA , EMA , WMA , or VWMA to smooth volume and price-based calculations.
Tailor the indicator to align with your trading strategy or the asset's behavior.
Optional HMA Smoothing:
Apply Hull Moving Average (HMA) smoothing for a cleaner, faster-reacting TMF line.
Perfect for traders who want to reduce lag and capture trends earlier.
Dynamic Thresholds for Signal Filtering:
Set user-defined thresholds for Long (LT) and Short (ST) signals to highlight significant momentum.
Focus on actionable trends by ignoring noise around neutral levels.
Bar Coloring for Visual Clarity:
Automatically colors your chart bars based on TMF values:
Aqua for strong bullish signals (above the long threshold).
Fuchsia for strong bearish signals (below the short threshold).
Gray for neutral or undecided market conditions.
Ensures that trend direction and strength are visually intuitive.
Configurable Lookback Period:
Adjust the sensitivity of TMF by customizing the length of the lookback period to suit different timeframes and market conditions.
How It Works:
True Range Calculation: The script determines the high, low, and close range to calculate buying and selling pressure.
Adjusted Volume: Incorporates the relationship between price and volume to gauge whether trading activity is favoring buyers or sellers.
Weighted Moving Averages (WMAs): Smooths both volume and adjusted volume values to eliminate erratic fluctuations.
TMF Line: Computes the ratio of adjusted volume to total volume, representing the net buying/selling pressure as a percentage.
HMA Option (if enabled): Smooths the TMF line further to reduce lag and enhance trend identification.
Bar Coloring Logic:
Bars are colored dynamically based on TMF values, thresholds, and smoothing preferences.
Provides an at-a-glance understanding of market conditions.
Input Parameters:
Lookback Period: Defines the number of bars used to calculate TMF (default: 21).
Use HMA Smoothing: Toggle Hull Moving Average smoothing (default: true).
HMA Smoothing Length: Length of the HMA smoothing period (default: 14).
Moving Average Type: Select SMA, EMA, WMA, or VWMA (default: WMA).
Long Threshold (LT): Threshold value above which a long signal is considered (default: 0).
Short Threshold (ST): Threshold value below which a short signal is considered (default: 0).
How to Use It:
Confirm Trends: TMF can validate trends by identifying periods of sustained buying or selling pressure.
Divergence Signals: Watch for divergences between price and TMF to anticipate potential reversals.
Filter Trades: Use the thresholds to ignore weak signals and focus on strong trends.
Combine with Other Indicators: Pair TMF with trend-following or momentum indicators (e.g., RSI, Bollinger Bands) for a comprehensive trading strategy.
Example Use Cases:
Spotting breakouts when TMF crosses above the long threshold.
Identifying sell-offs when TMF dips below the short threshold.
Avoiding sideways markets by ignoring neutral (gray) bars.
Notes:
This indicator is highly customizable, making it versatile across different assets (e.g., stocks, crypto, forex).
While the default settings are robust, tweaking the lookback period, moving average type, and thresholds is recommended for different trading instruments or strategies.
Always backtest thoroughly before applying the indicator to live trading.
This version of Twiggs Money Flow goes beyond standard implementations by offering advanced smoothing, custom thresholds, and enhanced visual feedback to give traders a competitive edge.

Dynamic Volatility Heatmap (ATR)How the Script Works
Dynamic Thresholds:
atrLow and atrHigh are calculated as percentiles (20% and 80% by default) of ATR values over the last double the ATR period (28 days if ATR is 14).
This creates thresholds that adapt to recent market conditions.
Background Heatmap:
Green: ATR is below the low threshold, indicating calm markets (options are cheap).
Red: ATR is above the high threshold, signaling elevated volatility (options are expensive).
Yellow: ATR is within the normal range, showing neutral market conditions.
Overlay Lines:
]Dynamic lines for atrLow and atrHigh help visualize thresholds on the chart.
Interpretation for Trading
Green Zone (Low ATR):
Interpretation: The market is calm, and options are likely underpriced.
Trade Setup: Favor buying options (e.g., long straddles or long calls/puts) to profit from potential volatility increases.
Red Zone (High ATR):
Interpretation: The market is volatile, and options are likely overpriced.
Trade Setup: Favor selling options (e.g., credit spreads or iron condors) to benefit from volatility decay.
Yellow Zone (Neutral ATR):
Interpretation: Volatility is within typical levels, offering no strong signal.
Trade Setup: Combine with other indicators, such as gamma levels or Bollinger Bands, for confirmation.
5. Enhancing with Other Indicators
Combine with Bollinger Bands:
Overlay Bollinger Bands to identify price extremes and align them with volatility heatmap signals.

MERCURY-PRO by DrAbhiramSivprasd“MERCURYPRO”
The MERCURYPRO indicator is a custom technical analysis tool designed to provide dynamic trend signals based on a combination of the Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) and Standard Deviation (StDev). This indicator helps traders identify trend reversals or continuation based on the behavior of the price and momentum.
Key Features:
• Source Input: The indicator works with any price data, with the default set to close, which represents the closing price of each bar.
• Length Input: A period (default value 9) is used to determine the calculation window for the Chande Momentum Oscillator and Standard Deviation.
• Fixed CMO Length Option: Users can choose whether to use a fixed CMO length of 9 or adjust the length to the user-defined pds value.
• Calculation Method: The indicator allows switching between using the Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) or Standard Deviation (StDev) for the momentum calculation.
• Alpha: The smoothing factor used in the calculation of the MERCURYPRO value, which is based on the length of the period input (pds).
Core Calculation:
1. Momentum Calculation: The script calculates the momentum by determining the change in the source price (e.g., close) from one period to the next.
2. Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO): The positive and negative momentum components are calculated and then summed over the specified period. This value is normalized to a percentage to determine the momentum strength.
3. K Value Calculation: The script selects either the CMO or Standard Deviation (depending on the user setting) to calculate the k value, which represents the dynamic price momentum.
4. MERCURYPRO Line: The final output of the indicator, MERCURYPRO, is computed using a weighted average of the k value and the previous MERCURYPRO value. The line is smoothed using the Alpha parameter.
Plot and Signal Generation:
• Color Coding: The line is color-coded based on the direction of MERCURYPRO:
• Blue: The trend is bullish (MERCURYPRO is rising).
• Maroon: The trend is bearish (MERCURYPRO is falling).
• Default Blue: Neutral or sideways market conditions.
• Plotting: The MERCURYPRO line is plotted with varying colors depending on the trend direction.
Alerts:
• Color Change Alert: The indicator has an alert condition based on when the MERCURYPRO line crosses its previous value. This helps traders stay informed about potential trend reversals or continuation signals.
Use Case:
• Trend Confirmation: Traders can use the MERCURYPRO indicator to identify whether the market is in a strong trend or not.
• Signal for Entries/Exits: The color change and crossovers of the MERCURYPRO line can be used as entry or exit signals, depending on the trader’s strategy.
Overall Purpose:
The MERCURYPRO indicator combines momentum analysis with smoothing techniques to offer a dynamic, responsive tool for identifying market trends and potential reversals. It is particularly useful in conjunction with other technical indicators to provide confirmation for trade setups.
How to Use the MERCURYPRO Indicator:
The MERCURYPRO indicator is designed to help traders identify trend reversals and market conditions. Here are a few ways you can use it:
1. Trend Confirmation (Bullish or Bearish)
• Bullish Trend: When the MERCURYPRO line is colored Blue, it indicates a rising trend, suggesting that the market is bullish.
• Action: You can consider entering long positions when the line turns blue, or holding your existing positions if you’re already long.
• Bearish Trend: When the MERCURYPRO line is colored Maroon, it signals a downward trend, indicating a bearish market.
• Action: You may consider entering short positions or closing any long positions when the line turns maroon.
2. Trend Reversal Alerts
• Color Change: The MERCURYPRO indicator changes color when there’s a trend reversal. The alert condition triggers when the MERCURYPRO crosses above or below its previous value, signaling a potential shift in the trend.
• Action: You can use this alert as a signal to monitor potential entry or exit points for trades. For example, a crossover from maroon to blue could indicate a potential buying opportunity, while a crossover from blue to maroon could suggest a selling opportunity.
3. Use with Other Indicators for Confirmation
• While the MERCURYPRO provides valuable trend insights, it’s often more effective when used in combination with other indicators like RSI (Relative Strength Index), MACD, or moving averages to confirm signals.
• Example: If MERCURYPRO turns blue and RSI is above 50, it may signal a strong bullish trend, enhancing the confidence to enter a long trade.
4. Divergence
• Watch for divergence between the MERCURYPRO line and the price chart:
• Bullish Divergence: If the price makes new lows while MERCURYPRO is showing higher lows, it suggests a potential bullish reversal.
• Bearish Divergence: If the price makes new highs while MERCURYPRO is showing lower highs, it suggests a potential bearish reversal.
Example of Use:
• Example 1: If the MERCURYPRO line changes from maroon to blue, you might enter a long position. After the MERCURYPRO line turns blue, use an alert to monitor the price action. If other indicators (like RSI) also suggest strength, your confidence in the trade will increase.
• Example 2: If the MERCURYPRO line shifts from blue to maroon, it could be a signal to close long positions and consider shorting the market if other conditions align (e.g., moving averages also turn bearish).
Warning for Using the MERCURYPRO Indicator:
1. Lagging Indicator:
• The MERCURYPRO is a lagging indicator, meaning it responds to price changes after they have occurred. This may delay entry and exit signals, and it’s crucial to combine it with other leading indicators to get timely information.
2. False Signals in Range-bound Markets:
• In choppy or sideways markets, the MERCURYPRO line can produce false signals, flipping between blue and maroon frequently without showing a clear trend. It’s important to avoid trading based on these false signals when the market is not trending.
3. Overreliance on One Indicator:
• Relying solely on MERCURYPRO can be risky. Always confirm signals with additional tools like volume analysis, price action, or other indicators to increase the accuracy of your trades.
4. Market Conditions Matter:
• The indicator may work well in trending markets, but in highly volatile or news-driven environments, it may provide misleading signals. Ensure that you take market fundamentals and external news events into consideration before acting on the indicator’s signals.
5. Risk Management:
• As with any technical indicator, MERCURYPRO is not infallible. Always use appropriate risk management techniques such as stop-loss orders to protect your capital. Never risk more than you can afford to lose on a trade.
6. Backtest First:
• Before implementing MERCURYPRO in live trading, make sure to backtest it on historical data. Test the strategy with various market conditions to assess its effectiveness and identify any potential weaknesses.
By considering these guidelines and warnings, you can use the MERCURYPRO indicator more effectively and mitigate potential risks in your trading strategy.
Single Candle Model-DTFXThe script identifies the candles with engulfing body and marks the 50% of the candle for easy entry based on model of #DTFX single candle entry
Interpreting the Signals:
Look for candles labeled as "BE". These represent significant price action where the range is larger than the previous candle's range.
Pay attention to the 50% line of the "BE" candle:
A green line indicates a bullish "BE" candle.
A red line indicates a bearish "BE" candle.
Watch for Buy ("B") and Sell ("S") labels:
"B": Indicates a potential bullish breakout.
"S": Indicates a potential bearish breakdown.
Alerts:
Configure alerts in TradingView to notify you whenever a "B" or "S" signal is detected. This allows you to act on the signals without constantly monitoring the chart.
Use in Trading Strategies:
Combine this indicator with other tools like support/resistance levels, moving averages, or trend analysis to validate the signals.
Use the midpoint (50% line) of the "BE" candle as a potential reference point for stop-loss or target levels.
Customizations:
Adjust the appearance of labels and lines by modifying their style, color, or placement in the script.
Add filters (e.g., timeframes or volume conditions) to refine the detection of "BE" candles.
This indicator helps traders identify pivotal price movements and act on potential breakouts or breakdowns with clear visual markers and alerts.

Average Trading Volume per Minute & Suitable Position SizeDescription:
This indicator calculates an average trading volume per minute for the specified lookback period (default 377 bars). It then estimates a suitable position size in USD (or contracts on specific exchanges) by multiplying the average volume by a user-defined percentage (default 8%). The script discards extreme data points (top and bottom 20%) before finding the median, so it provides a more robust measure of typical volume.
How It Works:
1. Each bar’s volume is converted to a USD-based figure, either by taking volume directly (if the exchange quotes in USD) or multiplying volume by the midpoint price.
2. Values are stored in an array, which is then sorted to remove the most extreme 40% (20% from each tail). The remaining 60% is used to calculate a median.
3. You enter a position size percentage (e.g. 8%), and the script multiplies the median volume-per-minute by this percentage to get your recommended position size.
4. For certain exchanges like BitMEX/Deribit, the script adapts how it treats volume (in quotes vs. base), so it can display the final position size properly (USD or contracts).
5. The script displays the result in a small table on the chart, showing the recommended position size in USD (or, for some perpetual contracts, in contract units). If no valid data is available, it indicates “Data Invalid.”
Usage Tips:
• The default Position Size Percentage is 8%. You can adjust it higher for more aggressive trading or lower for smaller exposure.
• The default lookback (Average Calculation Period) is 377 bars. Experiment with different values (e.g. 200 or 500) to capture more or fewer historical bars.
• On certain exchanges and symbols (e.g. BitMEX or Deribit’s “.P” pairs), the script automatically switches how it calculates volume (USD vs. coin-based).
• If you see “Data Invalid,” it likely means the current symbol or timeframe lacks sufficient volume info, or you’re running it on a symbol like BTC.D.
Why This Helps:
• Many traders size positions by guesswork or a fixed fraction of their account. This script instead ties position size to actual average trading volume, ensuring your position is neither too large (risk of poor fills) nor too small (wasting leverage potential).
• Removing top/bottom outliers and using the median aims to give a stable volume measure—less influenced by sudden spikes or extremely quiet bars.
Feel free to tweak the inputs and experiment with different timeframes or pairs. By aligning your position size with typical market liquidity, you can potentially improve overall trade execution and manage risk more effectively.
Enhanced Price Z-Score OscillatorThe Enhanced Price Z-Score Oscillator by tkarolak is a powerful tool that transforms raw price data into an easy-to-understand statistical visualization using Z-Score-derived candlesticks. Simply put, it shows how far prices stray from their average in terms of standard deviations (Z-Scores), helping traders identify when prices are unusually high (overbought) or unusually low (oversold).
The indicator’s default feature displays Z-Score Candlesticks, where each candle reflects the statistical “distance” of the open, high, low, and close prices from their average. This creates a visual map of market extremes and potential reversal points. For added flexibility, you can also switch to Z-Score line plots based on either Close prices or OHLC4 averages.
With clear threshold lines (±2σ and ±3σ) marking moderate and extreme price deviations, and color-coded zones to highlight overbought and oversold areas, the oscillator simplifies complex statistical concepts into actionable trading insights.

Percentual Variation This script is an indicator for plotting percentage-based lines using the previous day's closing price. It is useful for traders who want to visualize support and resistance levels derived from predefined percentages. Here's what the script does:
Calculates percentage levels:
It uses the previous day's closing price to calculate two positive levels (above the close) and two negative levels (below the close) based on fixed percentages:
+0.25% and +0.50% (above the close).
-0.25% and -0.50% (below the close).
Plots the lines on the chart:
Draws four horizontal lines representing the calculated levels:
Green lines indicate levels above the closing price.
Red lines indicate levels below the closing price.
Displays labels on the chart:
Adds labels near the lines showing the corresponding percentage, such as "+0.25%", "+0.50%", "-0.25%", and "-0.50%".
This script provides a clear visual representation of key percentage-based levels, which can be used as potential entry, exit, or target points in trading strategies.
