Smart Money Footprint & Cost Basis Engine [AlgoPoint]Smart Money Footprint & Cost Basis Engine
This indicator is a comprehensive market analysis tool designed to identify the "footprints" of Smart Money (institutions, whales) and pinpoint high-probability reaction zones. Instead of relying on lagging averages, this engine analyzes the very structure of the market to find where large players have shown their hand.
How It Works: The Core Logic
The indicator operates on a multi-stage confirmation process to identify and validate Smart Money zones:
Smart Money Detection (The Trigger): The engine first scans the chart for signs of intense, urgent buying or selling. It does this by identifying Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) created by large, high-volume Displacement Candles. This is our initial Point of Interest (POI).
Cost Basis Calculation (The Average Price): Once a potential Smart Money move is detected, the indicator calculates the Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) for that specific move. This gives us a highly accurate estimate of the average price at which the large players entered their positions.
Historical Confirmation (The "Memory"): This is the indicator's most unique feature. It checks its historical database to see if a similar Smart Money move (in the same direction) has occurred in the same price area in the past. If a match is found, the zone's significance is confirmed.
Verified Cost Basis Zone (The Final Output): A zone that passes all the above checks is drawn on the chart as a high-probability Verified Cost Basis Zone. These are the "memory zones" where the market is likely to react upon a re-visit.
How to Use This Indicator
Cost Basis Zones (The Boxes):
Green Boxes: Bullish zones where Smart Money likely accumulated positions. When the price returns here, a BUY reaction is expected.
Red Boxes: Bearish zones where Smart Money likely distributed positions. When the price returns here, a SELL reaction is expected.
Zone Strength (★★★): Each zone is created with a star rating. More stars indicate a higher-confidence zone (based on factors like volume intensity and historical confirmation).
BUY/SELL Signals: A signal is only generated when the price enters a zone AND the confirmation filters (if enabled in the settings) are passed.
Zone Statuses:
Green/Red: Active and waiting to be tested.
Gray: The zone has been tested, and a signal was produced.
Dark Gray (Invalidated): The zone was broken decisively and is no longer considered valid support/resistance.
Key Settings
Signal Accuracy Filters: You can enable/disable three powerful filters to balance signal quantity and quality:
Momentum Confirmation (Stoch): Waits for momentum to align with the zone's direction.
Candlestick Confirmation (Engulfing): Waits for a strong reversal candle inside the zone.
Lower Timeframe MSS Confirmation: The most advanced filter; waits for a trend shift on a lower timeframe before giving a signal.
Historical Confirmation:
Require Historical Confirmation: Toggle the "Memory" feature on/off. Turn it off to see all potential SM zones.
Tolerance Calculation Method: Choose between a dynamic ATR Multiplier (recommended for all-around use) or a fixed Percentage to define the zone size.
Liquidity Swing Points [BackQuant]Liquidity Swing Points
This tool marks recent swing highs and swing lows and turns them into persistent horizontal “liquidity” levels. These are places where resting orders often accumulate, such as stop losses above prior highs and below prior lows. The script detects confirmed pivots, records their prices, draws lines and labels, and manages their lifecycle on the chart so you can monitor potential sweep or breakout zones without manual redrawing.
What it plots
LQ-H at confirmed swing highs
LQ-L at confirmed swing lows
Horizontal levels that can optionally extend into the future
Timed removal of old levels to keep the chart clean
Each level stores its price, the bar where it was created, its type (high or low), plus a label and a line reference for efficient updates.
How it works
Pivot detection
A swing high is confirmed when the highest high has swing_length bars on both sides that are lower.
A swing low is confirmed when the lowest low has swing_length bars on both sides that are higher.
Pivots are only marked after they are confirmed, so they do not repaint.
Level creation
When a pivot confirms, the script records the price and the creation bar (offset by the right lookback).
A new line is plotted at that price, labeled LQ-H or LQ-L.
Rendering and extension
Levels can be drawn to the most recent bar only or extended to the right for forward reference.
Label size and line color/transparency are configurable.
Lifecycle management
On each confirmed bar, the script checks level age.
Levels older than a chosen bar count are removed automatically to reduce clutter.
How it can be used
Liquidity sweeps: Watch for price to probe beyond a level then close back inside. That behavior often signals a potential fade back into the prior range.
Breakout validation: If price pushes through a level and holds on closes, traders may treat that as continuation. Retests of the level from the other side can serve as structure checks.
Context for entries and exits: Use nearby LQ-H or LQ-L as reference for stop placement or partial-take zones, especially when other tools agree.
Multi-timeframe mapping: Plot swing points on higher timeframes, then drill down to time entries on lower timeframes as price interacts with those levels.
Why liquidity levels matter
Prior swing points are focal areas where many strategies set stops or pending orders. Price often revisits these zones, either to “sweep” resting liquidity before reversing, or to absorb it and trend. Marking these areas objectively helps frame scenarios like failed breaks, successful breakouts, and retests, and it reduces the subjectivity of eyeballing structure.
Settings to know
Swing Detection Length (swing_length), Controls sensitivity. Lower values find more local swings. Higher values find more significant ones.
Bars until removal (removeafter), Deletes levels after a fixed number of bars to prevent buildup.
Extend Levels Right (extend_levels), Keeps levels projected into the future for easier planning.
Label Size (label_size), Choose tiny to large for chart readability.
One color input controls both high and low levels with transparency for context.
Strengths
Objective marking of recent structure without hand drawing
No repaint after confirmation since pivots are locked once the right lookback completes
Lightweight and fast with simple lifecycle management
Clear visuals that integrate well with any price-action workflow
Practical tips
For scalping: use smaller swing_length to capture more granular liquidity. Keep removeafter short to avoid clutter.
For swing trading: increase swing_length so only more meaningful levels remain. Consider extending levels to the right for planning.
Combine with time-of-day filters, ATR for stop sizing, or a separate trend filter to bias trades taken at the levels.
Keep screenshots focused: one image showing a sweep and reversal, another showing a clean breakout and retest.
Limitations and notes
Levels appear after confirmation, so they are delayed by swing_length bars. This is by design to avoid repainting.
On very noisy or illiquid symbols, you may see many nearby levels. Increasing swing_length and shortening removeafter helps.
The script does not assess volume or session context. Consider pairing with volume or session tools if that is part of your process.

Volumetric Support and Resistance [BackQuant]Volumetric Support and Resistance
What this is
This Overlay locates price levels where both structure and participation have been meaningful. It combines classical swing points with a volume filter, then manages those levels on the chart as price evolves. Each level carries:
• A reference price (support or resistance)
• An estimate of the volume that traded around that price
• A touch counter that updates when price retests it
• A visual box whose thickness is scaled by volatility
The result is a concise map of candidate support and resistance that is informed by both price location and how much trading occurred there.
How levels are built
Find structural pivots uses ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow with a user set sensitivity. Larger sensitivity looks for broader swings. Smaller sensitivity captures tighter turns.
Require meaningful volume computes an average volume over a lookback period and forms a volume ratio for the current bar. A pivot only becomes a level when the ratio is at least the volume significance multiplier.
Avoid clustering checks a minimum level distance (as a percent of price). If a candidate is too close to an existing level, it is skipped to keep the map readable.
Attach a volume strength to the level estimates volume strength by averaging the volume of recent bars whose high to low range spans that price. Levels with unusually high strength are flagged as high volume.
Store and draw levels are kept in an array with fields for price, type, volume, touches, creation bar, and a box handle. On the last bar, each level is drawn as a horizontal box centered at the price with a vertical thickness scaled by ATR. Borders are thicker when the level is marked high volume. Boxes can extend into the future.
How levels evolve over time
• Aging and pruning : levels are removed if they are too old relative to the lookback or if you exceed the maximum active levels.
• Break detection : a level can be removed when price closes through it by more than a break threshold set as a fraction of ATR. Toggle with Remove Broken Levels.
• Touches : when price approaches within the break threshold, the level’s touch counter increments.
Visual encoding
• Boxes : support boxes are green, resistance boxes are red. Box height uses an ATR based thickness so tolerance scales with volatility. Transparency is fixed in this version. Borders are thicker on high volume levels.
• Volume annotation : show the estimated volume inside the box or as a label at the right. If a level has more than one touch, a suffix like “(2x)” is appended.
• Extension : boxes can extend a fixed number of bars into the future and can be set to extend right.
• High volume bar tint : bars with volume above average × multiplier are tinted green if up and red if down.
Inputs at a glance
Core Settings
• Level Detection Sensitivity — pivot window for swing detection
• Volume Significance Multiplier — minimum volume ratio to accept a pivot
• Lookback Period — window for average volume and maintenance rules
Level Management
• Maximum Active Levels — cap on concurrently drawn levels
• Minimum Level Distance (%) — required spacing between level prices
Visual Settings
• Remove Broken Levels — drop a level once price closes decisively through it
• Show Volume Information on Levels — annotate volume and touches
• Extend Levels to Right — carry boxes forward
Enhanced Visual Settings
• Show Volume Text Inside Box — text placement option
• Volume Based Transparency and Volume Based Border Thickness — helper logic provided; current draw block fixes transparency and increases border width on high volume levels
Colors
• Separate colors for support, resistance, and their high volume variants
How it can be used
• Trade planning : use the most recent support and resistance as reference zones for entries, profit taking, or stop placement. ATR scaled thickness provides a practical buffer.
• Context for patterns : combine with breakouts, pullbacks, or candle patterns. A breakout through a high volume resistance carries more informational weight than one through a thin level.
• Prioritization : when multiple levels are nearby, prefer high volume or higher touch counts.
• Regime adaptation : widen sensitivity and increase minimum distance in fast regimes to avoid clutter. Tighten them in calm regimes to capture more granularity.
Why volume support and resistance is used in trading
Support and resistance relate to willingness to transact at certain prices. Volume measures participation. When many contracts change hands near a price:
• More market players hold inventory there, often creating responsive behavior on retests
• Order flow can concentrate again to defend or to exit
• Breaks can be cleaner as trapped inventory rebalances
Conditioning level detection on above average activity focuses attention on prices that mattered to more participants.
Alerts
• New Support Level Created
• New Resistance Level Created
• Level Touch Alert
• Level Break Alert
Strengths
• Dual filter of structure and participation, reducing trivial swing points
• Self cleaning map that retires old or invalid levels
• Volatility aware presentation using ATR based thickness
• Touch counting for persistence assessment
• Tunable inputs for instrument and timeframe
Limitations and caveats
• Volume strength is an approximation based on bars spanning the price, not true per price volume
• Pivots confirm after the sensitivity window completes, so new levels appear with a delay
• Narrow ranges can still cluster levels unless minimum distance is increased
• Large gaps may jump past levels and immediately trigger break conditions
Practical tuning guide
• If the chart is crowded: increase sensitivity, increase minimum level distance, or reduce maximum active levels
• If useful levels are missed: reduce volume multiplier or sensitivity
• If you want stricter break removal: increase the ATR based break threshold in code
• For instruments with session patterns: tailor the lookback period to a representative window
Interpreting touches and breaks
• First touch after creation is a validation test
• Multiple shallow touches suggest absorption; a later break may then travel farther
• Breaks on high current volume merit extra attention
Multi timeframe usage
Levels are computed on the active chart timeframe. A common workflow is to keep a higher timeframe instance for structure and a lower timeframe instance for execution. Align trades with higher timeframe levels where possible.
Final Thoughts
This indicator builds a lightweight, self updating map of support and resistance grounded in swings and participation. It is not a full market profile, but it captures much of the practical benefit with modest complexity. Treat levels as context and decision zones, not guarantees. Combine with your entry logic and risk controls.

SM Trap Detector – Liquidity Sweeps & Institutional ReversalsOverview:
This script is designed to help traders detect Smart Money traps, liquidity grabs, and false breakouts with high precision.
Inspired by institutional trading logic (SMC, ICT, Wyckoff), this tool combines:
🟦 Liquidity Zone Mapping – Detects stop hunt targets near highs/lows
🚨 Trap Candle Detection – Identifies fakeouts using wick + volume logic
✅ Reversal Confirmation – Entry signals based on real market structure
🧭 Dashboard Panel – Always see the last trap type, price, and confirmation
🔔 Real-Time Alerts – Stay notified of traps and entry points
🧠 Logic Breakdown:
Trap Candle = Large wick, small body, volume spike, and sweep of a liquidity zone
Confirmed Entry = Reversal price action following the trap (engulfing-style)
📈 Best Used On:
Markets: Crypto, Forex, Stocks
Timeframes: No limitation but works best on 1H, 4H, Daily
🛠 Suggested Use:
Trade only confirmed entries for best results
Place stops beyond wick highs/lows
Target previous structure or use RR-based exits
📊 Backtest Tip:
Use alerts + replay mode to manually validate past traps.
Note: Please backtest before using it for entry.
Dynamic 50% Line [Daily and Weekly Range]This indicator automatically plots the 50% retracement level (midpoint) of the daily and weekly trading ranges. It helps traders identify key support/resistance zones where price may react, offering insights into potential reversal or continuation areas.
Auction Market Theory & the 50% Level
At its core, this indicator is built on Auction Market Theory (AMT), which views price movement as an ongoing auction process where buyers and sellers compete to establish value. The 50% midpoint represents fair value—the equilibrium where price is most likely to balance before continuing its trend or reversing.
When price deviates too far from this level, it often returns to balance (mean reversion) or accepts new value (breakout). By tracking the daily and weekly 50% lines, traders can:
Identify high-probability reversal zones (where price may reject fair value).
Spot trend continuation areas (where price accepts higher/lower value).
Align with institutional order flow, as large players often use these levels for execution.
This makes the indicator particularly powerful for traders who follow volume profile, order flow, or ICT concepts, as it visually maps the market’s ongoing auction process.
Features:
✅ Automated Daily & Weekly Midpoints – Calculates the 50% level from the high/low of each session.
✅ Customizable Line Styles – Choose between solid, dotted, or dashed lines for better visibility.
✅ Clear Labeling – Optional text labels show "50% Level" or custom text at your preferred position (left, middle, or right).
✅ Flexible Styling – Adjust line colors, thickness, and text size to match your chart theme.
How It Works:
Daily 50% Line: Resets at 6 PM NY time (new trading day).
Weekly 50% Line: Resets on Sunday at 6 PM NY time (new trading week).
The midpoint is calculated as:
(High + Low) / 2
Lines extend 500 bars forward for easy visibility.
Why Use This Indicator?
Unlike static Fibonacci tools, this dynamic indicator auto-updates the 50% level as new highs/lows form, saving time and improving accuracy. Whether you trade forex, stocks, or crypto, these levels often act as strong magnets for price action.
PipsHunters Trading ChecklistTitle: PipsHunters Trading Checklist (PHTC)
Short Description / Teaser:
Enforce trading discipline and never miss a step in your pre-trade analysis with this simple, interactive, on-chart checklist.
Full Description:
🚀 Overview
The PipsHunters Trading Checklist (PHTC) is a powerful yet simple tool designed to instill discipline and structure into your trading routine. In the heat of the moment, it's easy to forget crucial steps of your analysis, leading to impulsive and low-probability trades. This indicator acts as your personal co-pilot, providing a persistent, on-chart checklist that you must manually complete before taking a trade.
This is not an automated signal generator. It is a utility to keep you accountable to your own trading plan. The checklist items are inspired by common concepts in price action and Smart Money Concepts (SMC) methodologies, but they serve any trader who follows a rule-based system.
✨ Key Features
Interactive On-Chart Table: Displays a clean, non-intrusive table directly on your chart.
Manual Check-off System: You are in full control. Go into the indicator settings and check off each item as you complete your analysis.
Real-Time Progress Tracking: The table header shows your progress (e.g., 4/7) and changes color from red to green when all items are checked.
Clear Visual Cues: Each item is marked with a ✅ or ❌, and the text color changes to provide an at-a-glance status.
"Ready!" Status: A final "READY!" confirmation appears once your entire checklist is complete, giving you the green light to look for an entry based on your strategy.
Fully Customizable Position: Place the table in any corner of your chart (Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right) to suit your layout.
📋 The Checklist Items Explained
The default checklist guides you through a structured, top-down analysis process common in many trading strategies:
Seat before 1H: A reminder to be settled and mentally prepared at your desk at least an hour before your target session begins. Avoids rushing and emotional decisions.
Check News: Have you checked for high-impact news events that could introduce extreme volatility and invalidate your setup?
Mark Day Open: The daily open is a key institutional level. Marking it helps establish the daily bias.
Mark LQ Levels: Have you identified key Liquidity (LQ) levels? This includes previous day/week highs and lows, session highs/lows, and other obvious swing points.
Wait for Kill Zone: A reminder to be patient and wait for price to trade into a specific, high-probability time window (e.g., London Kill Zone, New York Kill Zone).
LQ sweep inside Kill Zone: The core of the setup. Has price swept a key liquidity level within your chosen Kill Zone?
Lower TF Confirmations: After the liquidity sweep, have you waited for confirmation on a lower timeframe? This is often a Market Structure Shift (MSS) or Change of Character (CHoCH).
🛠️ How to Use
Add the "PipsHunters Trading Checklist" indicator to your chart.
Go to the indicator's Settings (click the gear icon ⚙️).
As you perform each step of your pre-trade analysis, tick the corresponding checkbox in the Inputs tab.

Mig Trade Model - Kill Zones
Key features:
Liquidity Hunt Detection: Spots aggressive moves that "hunt" stops beyond recent swing highs/lows.
Consolidation Filter: Requires 1-3 small-range candles after a hunt before confirming with a strong candle.
Bias Application: Uses daily open/close to auto-detect bias or allows manual override.
Kill Zone Restriction: Limits signals to London (default: 7-10 AM UTC) and NY (default: 12-3 PM UTC) sessions for better relevance in active markets.
This strategy is inspired by smart money concepts (SMC) and ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodologies, aiming to capture venom-like "stings" in price action where liquidity is grabbed before reversals.
How It Works
ATR Calculation: Uses a user-defined ATR length (default: 14) to measure volatility, which scales candle body and range thresholds.
Bias Determination:
Auto: Compares daily close to open (bullish if close > open).
Manual: User selects "Bullish" or "Bearish."
Strong Candles:
Bullish: Green candle with body > 2x ATR (configurable).
Bearish: Red candle with body > 2x ATR.
Small Range Candles:
Candles where high-low < 0.5x ATR (configurable).
Liquidity Hunt:
Bullish Hunt: Strong bearish candle making a new low below the past swing low (default: 10 bars).
Bearish Hunt: Strong bullish candle making a new high above the past swing high.
Signal Generation:
After a hunt, counts 1-3 small-range candles.
Confirms with a strong candle in the opposite direction (e.g., strong bullish after bearish hunt).
Resets if >3 small candles or an opposing strong candle appears.
Kill Zone Filter:
Checks if the current bar's time (in UTC) falls within London or NY Kill Zones.
Only allows final "Buy" (bullish entry) or "Sell" (bearish entry) if bias matches and in Kill Zone.
Plots:
Yellow circle (below): Bullish liquidity hunt.
Orange circle (above): Bearish liquidity hunt.
Blue diamond (below): Raw bullish signal.
Purple diamond (above): Raw bearish signal.
Green triangle up ("Buy"): Filtered bullish entry.
Red triangle down ("Sell"): Filtered bearish entry.
Inputs
Bias: "Auto" (default), "Bullish", or "Bearish" – Controls signal direction based on daily trend.
ATR Length: 14 (default) – Period for ATR calculation.
Swing Length for Liquidity Hunt: 10 (default) – Bars to look back for swing highs/lows.
Strong Candle Body Multiplier (x ATR): 2.0 (default) – Threshold for strong candle bodies.
Small Range Multiplier (x ATR): 0.5 (default) – Threshold for small-range candles.
London Kill Zone Start/End Hour (UTC): 7/10 (default) – Customize London session hours.
NY Kill Zone Start/End Hour (UTC): 12/15 (default) – Customize New York session hours.
Usage Tips
Timeframe: Best on lower timeframes (e.g., 5-15 min) for intraday trading, especially forex pairs like EURUSD or GBPUSD.
Timezone Adjustment: Inputs are in UTC. If your chart is in a different timezone (e.g., EST = UTC-5), adjust hours accordingly (e.g., London: 2-5 AM EST → 7-10 UTC).
Risk Management: Use with stop-loss (e.g., beyond the hunt low/high) and take-profit based on ATR multiples. Not financial advice—backtest thoroughly.
Customization: Tweak multipliers for different assets; higher for volatile cryptos, lower for stocks.
Limitations: Relies on historical data; may generate false signals in ranging markets. Combine with other indicators like volume or support/resistance.

Previous Day Liquidity ZonesThis indicator is designed for intraday liquidity-based trading strategies and helps traders identify high-probability reversal or breakout zones based on smart money concepts.
It automatically plots the:
🟥 Previous Day High Zone – potential buy-side liquidity trap
🟩 Previous Day Low Zone – potential sell-side liquidity trap
🟧 Previous Day Close Zone – potential rebalancing or indecision zone
These levels are critical areas where institutional stop-hunting, reversals, and fake breakouts often occur.
🎯 How to Use
Use this indicator on 1-minute or 5-minute charts for stocks, indices (like NIFTY, BANKNIFTY), or forex.
Watch for price entering these zones during live market hours.
Combine with price action confirmation:
Rejection wicks
Engulfing candles
Change of character (CHoCH) or BOS
Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
First 5-minute candle (9:15 AM in Indian market) is highlighted for breakout setups.
🧠 Smart Money Logic
These zones mimic the logic used by institutions to:
Trigger retail stop-losses
Reverse market direction near liquidity pools
Trap breakout traders around session extremes
⚙️ Features
Configurable zone width (%)
Visual fill zones with subtle shading
Support for all assets and timeframes
Highlights first candle of day to assist with pre-trade bias

NativeLenSA CISD w/1st 5m FVG5m CISD + FVG Indicator which works best on 5m TimeFrame, with the concept of 5m Liquidity sweeps of the previous highs/lows and the next candle closing below/above the opening price of candle that swept the highs/lows.
A line marking +CISD or -CISD will show as soon as the CISD is created, and a first 5m Fair Value Gap will also be displayed. This is advantageous for an extra confluence and re-entry.
The indicator also provides the trader with:
i. The flexibility of allowing to only show Bearish, Bullish or both Bearish and Bullish CISD + FVG,
ii. Showing only London Session, New York Session, or both London and New York Sessions' CISD & FVG,
iii. Option of hiding/showing 5m CISD+FVG on time frames greater than 5m,
iv. Adjustable:
(a) Look back bars (max=300),
(b) CISD line length,
(c) FVG line length,
v. Customizable Bearish and Bullish CISD line colors.
I hope you find value in this indicator, and convenient for time when trading, no CISD markups needed
HTF Current/Average RangeThe "HTF(Higher Timeframe) Current/Average Range" indicator calculates and displays the current and average price ranges across multiple timeframes, including daily, weekly, monthly, 4 hour, and user-defined custom timeframes.
Users can customize the lookback period, table size, timeframe, and font color; with the indicator efficiently updating on the final bar to optimize performance.
When the current range surpasses the average range for a given timeframe, the corresponding table cell is highlighted in green, indicating potential maximum price expansion and signaling the possibility of an impending retracement or consolidation.
For day trading strategies, the daily average range can serve as a guide, allowing traders to hold positions until the current daily range approaches or meets the average range, at which point exiting the trade may be considered.
For scalping strategies, the 15min and 5min average range can be utilized to determine optimal holding periods for fast trades.
Other strategies:
Intraday Trading - 1h and 4h Average Range
Swing Trading - Monthly Average Range
Short-term Trading - Weekly Average Range
Also using these statistics in accordance with Power 3 ICT concepts, will assist in holding trades to their statistical average range of the chosen HTF candle.
CODE
The core functionality lies in the data retrieval and table population sections.
The request.security function (e.g., = request.security(syminfo.tickerid, "D", , lookahead = barmerge.lookahead_off)) retrieves high and low prices from specified timeframes without lookahead bias, ensuring accurate historical data.
These values are used to compute current ranges and average ranges (ta.sma(high - low, avgLength)), which are then displayed in a dynamically generated table starting at (if barstate.islast) using table.new, with conditional green highlighting when the current range is greater than average range, providing a clear visual cue for volatility analysis.

Multi-Timeframe SMTSummery
The Multi-Timeframe SMT indicator is designed to identify and visualize Higher Timeframe (HTF) data on a Lower Timeframe (LTF) chart, allowing traders to see the broader market context without changing their current chart's resolution. It accurately draws pivots and SMT divergences from higher timeframes on the corresponding candles of your current lower timeframe chart.
Its core features include:
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Configure and monitor pivots on up to four independent timeframes, from intraday to monthly.
Customizable Pivot Detection: Define the strength of pivots by adjusting the number of bars to the left and right.
SMT Divergence: Automatically identifies bullish and bearish SMT divergences by comparing the price action of the main chart symbol with a chosen correlated asset.
Early SMT Detection: A unique feature that monitors a lower "detection timeframe" to provide early warnings of potential SMT setups before they're confirmed on the main timeframe. Note that this early detection is only shown on timeframes equal to or lower than the "Detection timeframe" you have set.
Visual Cues & Alerts: Clear on-chart labels, lines, and fully customizable alerts notify you of confirmed pivots and SMT divergences, ensuring you don't miss key opportunities.
Important Nuance Regarding Pivot Label Display
Due to a self-imposed limit within this script's drawing management logic, the indicator might quickly reach its drawing capacity if you enable pivot crosses for multiple timeframes simultaneously. When this internal drawing limit is exceeded, the script is designed to automatically remove the oldest drawings to make space for new ones.
Therefore, to ensure optimal performance and visibility of the most recent and relevant pivots, it's highly recommended to only enable the "Show Pivot Crosses" option for one timeframe at a time. If you wish to view pivots for a different timeframe, simply disable the pivot crosses for the currently active timeframe and then enable them for your desired one. This approach prevents the rapid cycling and disappearance of pivot labels, providing a clearer and more stable visual experience.
In-Depth Explanation of the Logic
This script is built on two primary concepts: pivot points and Smart Money Technique (SMT) divergence. It systematically collects historical data on multiple timeframes, identifies pivots, and then compares them between two assets to find divergences.
Pivot Point Identification
A pivot is a turning point in the market. A pivot high is a candle that has a higher high than the candles to its immediate left and right. Conversely, a pivot low is a candle with a lower low than its neighbors.
How it Works in the Script:
The script tracks the highest high and lowest low for each period of the selected timeframe (e.g., for each 4-hour candle). When a new high-timeframe candle closes, it stores that high/low value and its bar index in an array. The checkForPivot() function then checks if a recently stored high or low qualifies as a pivot.
Key Inputs:
Left Strength (leftBars1): The number of candles to the left that must have a lower high (for a pivot high) or higher low (for a pivot low).
Right Strength (rightBars1): The number of candles to the right that must meet the same criteria.
For example, with Left Strength and Right Strength both set to 3, a pivot high is only confirmed when its high is greater than the highs of the 3 previous high-timeframe candles and the 3 subsequent high-timeframe candles. Increasing these values will identify more significant, longer-term pivots.
Smart Money Technique (SMT) Divergence
SMT Divergence is a concept popularized by The Inner Circle Trader (ICT). It occurs when two closely correlated assets fail to move in sync. For instance, if Asset A makes a higher high but Asset B fails to do so and instead makes a lower high, this creates a bearish SMT divergence. It suggests that the "smart money" may not be supporting the move in Asset A, signaling a potential reversal.
Bearish SMT: Main asset makes a higher high, while the correlated asset makes a lower high. This is a potential sell signal.
Bullish SMT: Main asset makes a lower low, while the correlated asset makes a higher low. This is a potential buy signal.
How it Works in the Script:
Data Request: For each timeframe, the script uses the request.security() function to fetch the high and low data for both the main chart symbol (syminfo.tickerid) and the chosen Comparison Asset.
Pivot Comparison: When a new pivot is confirmed on the main asset, the script checks if a corresponding pivot also formed on the comparison asset at the same time.
Divergence Check: It then compares the direction of the pivots. For a bearish SMT, it checks if the main asset's new pivot high is higher than its previous pivot high, while the comparison asset's new pivot high is lower than its previous one. The logic is reversed for bullish SMT.
Visualization: If a divergence is found, the script draws a red (bearish) or green (bullish) line connecting the two pivots on your chart and places an "SMT" label.
Early SMT Detection
This is a proactive feature designed to give you a heads-up. Waiting for a 4-hour or daily pivot to form can take a long time. The early detection system looks for SMT divergences on a much smaller, user-defined Detection timeframe (e.g., 15-minute).
How it Works in the Script:
Awaiting Setup: After a primary pivot (Pivot A) is formed on the main timeframe (e.g., a Daily pivot high), the script begins monitoring.
Intraday Monitoring: It then watches the Detection timeframe (e.g., 15-minute) for smaller intraday pivots.
Potential Divergence: It looks for an intraday pivot that forms a divergence against the primary Pivot A.
Watchline & Alert: When this "potential" divergence occurs, the script draws a dashed white line and triggers a "Potential SMT" alert. This isn't a confirmed SMT on the main timeframe yet, but it's a powerful early warning that one may be forming.
Drawing & Object Management
To keep the chart clean and prevent performance issues, the script manages its drawings (lines and labels) efficiently. It stores them in arrays and uses a drawing limit to automatically delete the oldest drawings as new ones are created, ensuring your TradingView remains responsive.
How to Use the Indicator
Configuration
Enable Timeframes: Use the checkboxes (Enable Timeframe 1, Enable Timeframe 2, etc.) to activate the timeframes you want to monitor. It's often best to start with one or two to keep the chart clean.
Select Timeframes: Choose the higher timeframes you want to analyze (e.g., 240 for 4-hour, D for Daily, W for Weekly).
Set Pivot Strength: The default of 3 for Left/Right strength is a good starting point. Increase it to find more significant market structure points or decrease it for more frequent, shorter-term pivots.
Configure SMT:
Check Enable SMT for the timeframes where you want to detect divergence.
Enter a Comparison Asset . This is crucial. Ensure the assets are correlated.
To use the early warning system, check Enable early SMT detection and select an appropriate Detection timeframe (e.g., 15 or 60 minutes for a Daily analysis).
Fair Value MSThis indicator introduces rigid rules to familiar concepts to better capture and visualize Market Structure and Areas of Support and Resistance in a way that is both rule-based and reactive to market movements.
Typical "Market Structure" or "Zig-Zag" methods determine swing points based on fixed thresholds (length or percentage). While this does provide rigid structure, the results may be lagging or confusing due to the timing, since it is fixed to static parameters.
I believe the concept of Fair Value Gaps can solve this problem.
As you will notice, there are no length settings in this indicator.
> FVG Market Structure
Fair Value Gaps are a well known concept used to indicate directional intent, forming when price moves aggressively in one direction, leaving behind an imbalance between buyers and sellers. While the term FVG was popularized by ICT, the underlying concept predates them, known historically as imbalances, inefficiencies, or liquidity voids in institutional trading.
Note: For simplicity, in this indicator they'll be called FVGs.
By reading into this, we are able to clearly and rigidly define market structure simply by "looking" at the chart, using objective price events rather than subjective interpretation, or lengths.
By using FVGs to determine structure direction, the length, and speed of identification lies entirely on the market. If an FVG Down occurs immediately after a New Higher High forms, it is reasonable to assume there was a seller at that point, so the script would indicate a New Swing High.
The script is NOT stuck, waiting for a % retrace, or # bars to pass to identify it as such.
Sometimes the market is in a steady trend in a single direction and no FVGs form; therefore, no structure forms. -> Why would we try to impose structure on a clear trend?
Ultimately, the FVG Structure Method uses real reactions from the market to determine Market structure, and is not fixed to specific parameters.
As with other market structure indicators, "Market Structure Breaks" are still identifiable when price moves outside the most recent swing points.
These are helpful to indicate larger direction. In the following section you will see how these help us determine when we should start the search for an "Area of Interest (AOI)".
> Areas of Interest (AOIs)
"Area of Interest (AOI)" is a generalized term, and could refer to many types of zones you might recognize under different names. While the AOIs in this indicator are specialized in their own way, I have chosen to simply use the term "Area of Interest" because it’s more important to understand how they behave and why they exist than to focus on what they’re called.
The goal of an AOI is to point out reasonable areas where buyers or sellers may be staging, as is typical with support and resistance.
In order to reasonably identify these areas, we look for cause and effect relationships. When considering these relationships, it's easier to understand the placement of the points to define each zone.
(Buyer Examples)
Cause: Strong Buyers step in at Swing Low
Effect: Fair Value Gap Forms
Cause: Sustained Buying Pressure
Effect: Market Structure Breaks
In this example, The zone is drawn from the Swing Low, to the Bottom of the FVG closest to the swing point.
In theory, the participation at the swing point was strong and aggressive enough to create the FVG imbalance. Which then found acceptance and continued into a Market Structure Break. So with these AOIs, we are trying to locate the aggressive Buyers or Sellers which were positioned BEFORE the FVG.
These Zones are intended to act as areas to look for reactions from market participants, to judge where price may be going. When revisiting these zones, we look for a reaction or a break, to further provide us information to if the buyers or sellers are still there.
As seen in the screenshot above, The information we gain is not from the creation of these zones, but from the behavior we witness when these zones are revisited.
Technical Note: In this indicator, Market Structure Breaks are only considered when price closes outside the recent swing points. Wicks are not considered as confirmation, therefore are not used to detect structural breaks.
Inside each AOI you can optionally display a readout of the volume which accumulated during the time starting at the swing point and going until the closing bar of the FVG.
Note: We are counting volume until the closing bar of the FVG since the FVG is a 3 bar formation, and aggressive volume is required throughout to create the imbalance.
There are multiple FVGs that typically occur in a single direction, but we do not look to every single one to be indicative of structure, only the first FVG in the opposite direction of the previous direction (which is determined by previous FVGs)
You will probably notice, the AOIs do not form from the closest swing or FVG to the break, this is because we are targeting larger directional changes to draw these AOIs from.
Since they do not always happen perfectly every time, the AOI formation waits for an FVG to occur AND a Market structure break to happen. One without the other will result in no Zone displaying.
> Reflection Lines
While they may seem slightly redundant, Reflection Lines serve as reminders of previous support and resistance pivots. They are drawn at the same Pivots where and AOI is formed, and extend beyond the mitigation of the AOI.
These lines are often points of price to look for "Support Flips", a re-test pattern where price trades through previous support (or resistance) then returns to it and rejects, continuing into a larger move or trend.
Their namesake is based on the behavior of price, "reflecting" at these levels.
The Reflection lines are simple and change color based on price's location.
If price is above, we would typically look to a reflection line in with support in mind.
As a basic filter, these lines use an average price to determine their color, this way they will not change their color as frequently in choppy situations.
> Session Start/End Lines
For analysis purposes and trade review, it is helpful to analyze with context.
For that reason, I have implemented start and end session lines into the indicator, these are helpful when reviewing historical charts to not provide additional context.
By default, they are set to the NYSE Session, but can be changed to fit any needs.
These lines are not advanced, and simply draw a line as the chart passes the start and end of the sessions. It's very likely that you may need to adjust the session for your specific needs.
Note: The Timezone can be adjusted within the code if needed. By Default, the indicator uses "America/New_York" Timezone.
> Conclusion
If you’ve ever felt like your structure tools were confusing or lagging, drawing zones too late, or zones that simply don't make sense, this should feel like a breath of fresh air.
By removing arbitrary length settings and instead using FVGs to define structure and as a basis for AOIs, you're getting a more accurate look at what price is doing and where it's reacting from.
This indicator is rule-based, reactive, and aims to keep things logical without fluff or false confidence.
