Session High and Session LowI have heard many people ask for a script that will identify the high and low of a specific session. So, I made one. Important Note: This indicator has to be set up properly or you will get an error. Important things to note are the length of the range and the session definition. The idea is that you would set it up for what's relevant to your trading. Going too far back in the chart history will cause errors. Setting the session for a time that is not on the chart can cause errors. If you set it to look farther back than there are bars to display, you may get an error. What I've found is that if you get an error, you just need to change the settings to reflect available data and it will be able to compile the script. At the time of its publishing, the default range start is set to 10/01/2020. If you're looking at this years later, you'll probably have to set the range to something more recent. Features: Plot or Lines: Using Plot (displayed), the indicator will track the high/low from the end of the session into the next session. Then at the start of the next session, it will start tracking the high/low of that session until its end, then track that high/low until the start of the next session then reset. Using lines, it will extend horizontal lines to the right indefinitely. The number of sessions back that the lines apply to is a user-defined number of sessions. There are limits to the number of lines that can be cast on a chart (roughly 40-50). So, the maximum number of sessions you can apply the lines to is the last 21 sessions (42 lines total). That gets really noisy though so I can't imagine that is a limiting factor. Colors: You can change the background color and its transparency, as well as turn the background color on or off. You can change the highs and lows colors You can adjust the line width to your preference Session Length: You can use a continuous session covering any user-defined period (provided its not tooooo many candles back) You can define the session length for intraday You can exclude weekends Display Options: You can adjust the colors, transparency, and linewidth You can display the plotline or horizontal lines You can show/hide the background color. You can change how many sessions back the horizontal lines will track Let me know if there's anything this script is missing or if you run into any issues that I might be able to help resolve. Here's what it looks like with Lines for the last 5 sessions and different background color.

Unmitigated MTF High Low Pro - Cave Diving Bookmap Heatmap Plot Unmitigated MTF High Low Pro - Cave Diving Bookmap Heatmap Plot --- ## 📖 Table of Contents 1. (#what-this-indicator-does) 2. (#core-concepts) 3. (#visual-components) 4. (#the-cave-diving-framework) 5. (#how-to-use-it-for-trading) 6. (#settings--customization) 7. (#best-practices) 8. (#common-scenarios) --- ## What This Indicator Does The **Unmitigated MTF High Low v2.0** tracks unmitigated (untouch) high and low levels across multiple timeframes, helping you identify key support and resistance zones that the market hasn't revisited yet. Think of it as a sophisticated memory system for price action - it remembers where price has been, and more importantly, where it *hasn't been back to*. ### Why "Unmitigated" Matters In futures trading, especially on instruments like NQ and ES, the market has a tendency to revisit levels where liquidity was left behind. An "unmitigated" level is one that hasn't been touched since it was formed. These levels often act as magnets for price, and understanding their age and proximity gives you a significant edge in: - **Entry timing** - Waiting for price to approach tested levels - **Exit planning** - Taking profits before ancient resistance/support - **Risk management** - Avoiding entries when approaching multiple old levels - **Liquidity mapping** - Visualizing where orders likely cluster --- ## Core Concepts ### 1. **Sessions & Age** The indicator uses **New York trading sessions** (6:00 PM to 5:59 PM NY time) as the primary time measurement. This aligns with how futures markets naturally segment their activity. **Age Categories:** - 🟢 **New (0-1 sessions)** - Fresh levels, recently formed - 🟡 **Medium (2-3 sessions)** - Tested by time, gaining significance - 🔴 **Old (4-6 sessions)** - Highly significant, survived multiple days - 🟣 **Ancient (7+ sessions)** - Extreme significance, major support/resistance The longer a level remains unmitigated, the more significant it becomes. Think of it like compound interest - time adds weight to these zones. ### 2. **Multi-Timeframe Tracking** You can set the indicator to track high/low levels from any timeframe (default is 15 minutes). This means you're watching for unmitigated 15-minute highs and lows while trading on, say, a 1-minute or 5-minute chart. **Why this matters:** - Higher timeframe levels have more weight - You can see multiple timeframe structure simultaneously - Helps you avoid fighting larger timeframe momentum ### 3. **Mitigation** A level becomes "mitigated" (deactivated) when price touches it: - **High levels** are mitigated when price reaches or exceeds them - **Low levels** are mitigated when price reaches or goes below them Once mitigated, the level disappears from view. The indicator only shows you the untouch levels that still matter. --- ## Visual Components ### 📊 The Dashboard Table Located in the corner of your chart (configurable), the table shows: ``` ┌─────────┬───────────┬────────┬─────┬───────┐ │ Level │ Price │ Points │ Age │ % │ ├─────────┼───────────┼────────┼─────┼───────┤ │ ↑↑↑↑↑ │ 21,450.25 │ +45.50 │ 8 │ +0.21%│ ← 5th High (Ancient) │ ↑↑↑↑ │ 21,430.00 │ +25.25 │ 5 │ +0.12%│ ← 4th High (Old) │ ↑↑↑ │ 21,420.50 │ +15.75 │ 3 │ +0.07%│ ← 3rd High (Medium) │ ↑↑ │ 21,412.00 │ +7.25 │ 1 │ +0.03%│ ← 2nd High (New) │ ↑ ⚠️ │ 21,408.25 │ +3.50 │ 0 │ +0.02%│ ← 1st High (Proximity Alert!) ├─────────┼───────────┼────────┼─────┼───────┤ │ 15 mins │ 🟢 │ Δ 8.75 │ 2U │ │ ← Status Row ├─────────┼───────────┼────────┼─────┼───────┤ │ ↓ ⚠️ │ 21,399.50 │ -5.25 │ 0 │ -0.02%│ ← 1st Low (Proximity Alert!) │ ↓↓ │ 21,395.00 │ -9.75 │ 2 │ -0.05%│ ← 2nd Low (Medium) │ ↓↓↓ │ 21,385.25 │ -19.50 │ 4 │ -0.09%│ ← 3rd Low (Old) │ ↓↓↓↓ │ 21,370.00 │ -34.75 │ 6 │ -0.16%│ ← 4th Low (Old) │ ↓↓↓↓↓ │ 21,350.75 │ -54.00 │ 9 │ -0.25%│ ← 5th Low (Ancient) ├─────────┼───────────┼────────┼─────┼───────┤ │ 📊 15↑ / 12↓ │ ← Statistics (optional) └─────────┴───────────┴────────┴─────┴───────┘ ``` **Reading the Table:** - **Level Column**: Number of arrows indicates position (1-5), color shows age - **Price**: The actual price level - **Points**: Distance from current price (+ for highs, - for lows) - **Age**: Number of full sessions since creation - **%**: Percentage distance from current price - **⚠️**: Proximity alert - price is within threshold distance - **Status Row**: Shows timeframe, direction (🟢 bullish/🔴 bearish), tunnel width (Δ), and Strat pattern ### 📈 Visual Elements on Chart **1. Level Lines** - Horizontal lines showing each unmitigated level - **Color-coded by age**: Bright colors = new, darker = older, deep purple/teal = ancient - **Line style**: Customizable (solid, dashed, dotted) - Automatically turn **yellow** when price gets close (proximity alert) **2. Price Labels** - Show the exact price and age: "21,450.25 (8d)" - Fixed at small size for clean readability - Positioned with configurable offset from current bar **3. Bands (Optional)** - Shaded zones between pairs of unmitigated levels - Default: Between 1st and 2nd levels (the "tunnel") - Can switch to 1st-3rd, 2nd-3rd, or disable entirely - **Upper band** (pink/maroon) - Between unmitigated highs - **Lower band** (blue/teal) - Between unmitigated lows - These represent the "no man's land" or consolidation zones --- ## The Cave Diving Framework This indicator is designed around the **Cave Diving Trading Framework** - a psychological and technical approach that maps cave diving safety protocols to futures trading risk management. ### 🤿 The Core Metaphor **Cave diving has clear danger zones based on depth and overhead environment. Your trading should too.** #### Shallow Water (New Levels, 0-1 Sessions) - **Light**: Bright colors (bright red highs, bright green lows) - **Psychology**: Fresh territory, recently tested - **Trading**: Be aware but not overly concerned - **Cave Diving Parallel**: You can see the surface, easy exit #### Penetration Depth (Medium Levels, 2-3 Sessions) - **Light**: Medium intensity colors - **Psychology**: Building significance, market memory forming - **Trading**: Start respecting these levels for entries/exits - **Cave Diving Parallel**: Deeper in, need to track your line back #### Deep Dive Zone (Old Levels, 4-6 Sessions) - **Light**: Dark colors (deep maroon, dark blue) - **Psychology**: Highly tested support/resistance - **Trading**: Major decision points, plan accordingly - **Cave Diving Parallel**: Significant overhead, careful navigation required #### Overhead Environment (Ancient Levels, 7+ Sessions) - **Light**: Very dark, purple/deep teal - **Psychology**: Extreme caution required, major liquidity zones - **Trading**: These are your "turn back" signals - don't fight ancient levels - **Cave Diving Parallel**: Maximum danger, no room for error ### 🎯 The Proximity Alert System Just like a cave diver's depth gauge that warns at critical thresholds, the proximity alerts (⚠️) tell you when you're entering a danger zone. When price gets within your configured threshold (default 5 points), the indicator: - Highlights the level in **yellow** on the chart - Shows **⚠️** in the table - Signals: "You're entering a high-significance zone - adjust your position accordingly" This prevents the trading equivalent of going deeper into a cave without checking your air supply. --- ## How to Use It for Trading ### 🎯 Entry Strategies **1. The "Bounce Setup" (Mean Reversion)** - Wait for price to approach an old or ancient unmitigated level - Look for confluence: multiple levels nearby, bands narrowing - Enter when price shows rejection (reversal candle patterns) - **Example**: Price drops to a 6-session-old low, shows bullish engulfing → Long entry **2. The "Break and Retest" (Trend Following)** - Wait for price to break through an unmitigated level (mitigates it) - Enter on the retest of the newly broken level - **Example**: Price breaks above 4-session-old high → Wait for pullback to that level → Long entry **3. The "Tunnel Trade" (Range Trading)** - When bands are active, trade the range between 1st-2nd levels - Short near upper band resistance, long near lower band support - Exit at opposite side or when bands break ### 🚨 Risk Management Rules **The Ancient Level Rule** > Never fight ancient levels (7+ sessions). If you're long and approaching an ancient high, take profits. If you're short and approaching an ancient low, take profits. These levels have survived a full trading week without being touched - there's likely significant liquidity and institutional interest there. **The Proximity Exit Rule** > When you see ⚠️ proximity alerts on multiple levels above/below your position, tighten stops or scale out. This is your "overhead environment" warning. You're in dangerous territory. **The New Level Filter** > Be cautious taking positions based solely on new levels (0-1 sessions). Wait for them to age or combine with other confluence. Fresh levels haven't been tested by time. They're like unconfirmed support/resistance. ### 📊 Reading Market Structure **Bullish Structure (🟢 in status row)** - Unmitigated lows are aging and holding - Price respecting the lower band - Old lows below acting as strong support - **Bias**: Look for long entries at lower levels **Bearish Structure (🔴 in status row)** - Unmitigated highs are aging and holding - Price respecting the upper band - Old highs above acting as strong resistance - **Bias**: Look for short entries at higher levels **The Tunnel Compression** - When the Δ (delta) in the status row is small, levels are tight - This often precedes a breakout - **Trading**: Wait for breakout direction, then trade the break ### 🔄 Strat Integration The indicator shows Strat patterns in the status row: - **1** - Inside bar (consolidation) - **2U** - Broke high only (bullish) - **2D** - Broke low only (bearish) - **3** - Broke both (wide range, volatility) Use these with the unmitigated levels: - **2U near old high** → Potential resistance, watch for rejection - **2D near old low** → Potential support, watch for bounce - **3 pattern** → High volatility, respect wider stops --- ## Settings & Customization ### 📅 Session & Timeframe Settings **HL Interval** (Default: 15 minutes) - The timeframe for high/low calculation - **Lower (1m, 5m)**: More levels, more noise, good for scalping - **Higher (30m, 1H, 4H)**: Fewer levels, stronger significance, good for swing trading - **Recommendation for NQ/ES**: 15m or 30m for day trading, 1H for swing trading **Session Age Threshold** (Default: 2) - How many sessions before a level is considered "old" - Lower = more levels classified as old - Higher = stricter definition of significance ### 📊 Level Display Options **Show Level Lines** - Toggle: Display horizontal lines for each level - **Turn off** if you prefer a cleaner chart and only want the table **Show Level Labels** - Toggle: Display price labels on the chart - **Turn off** for minimal visual clutter **Label Offset** - Distance (in bars) from current price bar to place labels - Increase if labels overlap with price action **Level Line Width & Style** - Customize visual appearance - **Thin solid**: Minimal distraction - **Thick dashed**: High visibility ### 🎨 Age-Based Color Coding Customize colors for each age category (high and low separately): - **New (0-1 sessions)**: Default bright red/green - **Medium (2-3 sessions)**: Default medium intensity - **Old (4+ sessions)**: Default dark red/blue - **Ancient (7+ sessions)**: Default deep purple/teal **Color Strategy Tips:** - Keep ancient levels in highly contrasting colors - Use opacity (transparency) if you want subtler lines - Match your chart's color scheme for aesthetic coherence ### 🎯 Band Settings **Band Mode** - **1st-2nd** (Default): The primary "tunnel" between most recent levels - **1st-3rd**: Wider band, more room for price action - **2nd-3rd**: Band between less immediate levels - **Disabled**: No bands, lines only **Band Colors & Borders** - Customize fill color and border separately - **Tip**: Keep bands very transparent (90-95% transparency) to avoid obscuring price action ### ⚠️ Proximity Alert Settings **Enable Proximity Alerts** - Toggle: Turn on/off the warning system - When enabled, levels within threshold distance show ⚠️ and turn yellow **Alert Threshold** (Default: 5.0 points) - Distance in points to trigger the alert - **For NQ**: 5-10 points is reasonable - **For ES**: 2-5 points is reasonable - **For MES/MNQ**: Scale down proportionally **Alert Highlight Color** - The color lines/labels turn when proximity is triggered - Default: Yellow (high visibility) ### 📋 Table Settings **Show Table** - Toggle: Display the dashboard table **Table Location** - Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right - Choose based on your chart layout and other indicators **Text Size** - Tiny, Small, Normal, Large - **Recommendation**: Normal for 1080p monitors, Small for 4K **Show % Distance** - Toggle: Add percentage distance column to table - Useful for comparing relative distances across different price ranges **Show Statistics Row** - Toggle: Show total count of unmitigated highs/lows - Format: "📊 15↑ / 12↓" (15 unmitigated highs, 12 unmitigated lows) - Useful for gauging overall market structure ### ⚡ Performance Settings **Enable Level Cleanup** - Automatically remove very old levels to maintain performance - **Keep on** unless you want unlimited history **Max Lookback Levels** (Default: 10,000) - Maximum number of levels to track - 10,000 ≈ 6+ months of 15-minute bars - **Increase** if you want more history - **Decrease** if experiencing performance issues **Max Boxes Per Band** (Default: 245) - TradingView limit is 500 total boxes - With 2 bands, 245 each = 490 total (safe maximum) --- ## Best Practices ### 🎯 Position Management **1. Scaling In Near Old Levels** ``` Price approaching 5-session-old low: - First position: 30% size at proximity alert (⚠️) - Second position: 40% size at exact level - Third position: 30% size if it shows strong rejection ``` **2. Scaling Out Near Ancient Levels** ``` Holding long position, approaching 8-session-old high: - Exit 50% at proximity alert (⚠️) - Exit 30% at exact level - Trail stop on remaining 20% ``` ### 🧠 Trading Psychology Integration Drawing from principles in *The Mountain Is You*, this indicator helps you: **1. Recognize Self-Sabotage Patterns** - **The Premature Entry**: Entering before price reaches your planned level - **Solution**: Set alerts at unmitigated levels, wait for proximity warnings - **The Profit-Taking Problem**: Exiting too early from fear - **Solution**: Identify the next unmitigated level and commit to holding until proximity alert - **The Loss Holding**: Refusing to exit losing trades - **Solution**: When price breaks through and mitigates your entry level, it's telling you the structure changed **2. Building Better Habits** The color-coded age system trains your brain to: - Respect levels that have proven themselves over time - Distinguish between noise (new levels) and structure (old levels) - Make decisions based on objective data, not fear or greed **3. Emotional Regulation** The proximity alerts serve as: - **Circuit breakers** - Forcing you to re-evaluate before dangerous zones - **Permission to act** - Giving you objective signals to exit without second-guessing - **Validation** - Confirming when you're in alignment with market structure ### 📝 Pre-Market Routine **Daily Setup Checklist:** 1. ✅ Identify the 3 nearest unmitigated highs above current price 2. ✅ Identify the 3 nearest unmitigated lows below current price 3. ✅ Note which are ancient (7+) - these are your "no-go" zones 4. ✅ Check the tunnel width (Δ in status row) - tight or wide? 5. ✅ Set alerts at the 1st high and 1st low for proximity warnings 6. ✅ Plan: "If we go up, I exit at ___. If we go down, I enter at ___." ### 🔄 Timeframe Confluence **Multi-Timeframe Strategy:** Run the indicator on **three instances**: - **15-minute** (short-term structure) - **1-hour** (intermediate structure) - **4-hour** (major structure) **Strong Setup**: When all three timeframes show unmitigated levels converging at the same price zone. **Example:** - 15m: Old low at 21,400 - 1H: Ancient low at 21,398 - 4H: Ancient low at 21,395 - **Result**: 21,395-21,400 is a monster support zone ### ⚠️ What This Indicator Doesn't Do **Not a Crystal Ball** - It doesn't predict where price will go - It shows you where price *hasn't been* and how long it's been avoided - The trading decisions are still yours **Not an Entry Signal Generator** - It provides context and structure - You need to combine it with your entry methodology (price action, indicators, order flow, etc.) **Not Foolproof** - Ancient levels get broken - Proximity alerts can trigger early in strong trends - The market doesn't "owe" you a reversal at any level --- ## Common Scenarios ### Scenario 1: "Level Cluster Ahead" **Situation**: You're long at 21,400. The table shows: - 1st High: 21,425 (2 sessions old) - 2nd High: 21,428 (3 sessions old) - 3rd High: 21,435 (6 sessions old) **Interpretation**: There's a resistance cluster just 25-35 points away. The 6-session-old level is particularly significant. **Action**: - Set first profit target at 21,420 (before the cluster) - Set second target at 21,426 (between 1st and 2nd) - Trail remaining position, but be ready to exit on rejection at 21,435 **Cave Diving Analogy**: You're approaching an overhead section with limited clearance. Lighten your load (reduce position) before entering. --- ### Scenario 2: "Ancient Level Approaches" **Situation**: The market is grinding higher. You see ⚠️ appear next to a 9-session-old high at 21,500. **Interpretation**: This level has survived over a week without being touched. Massive potential liquidity zone. **Action**: - If long, this is your absolute exit zone. Take profits before or at level. - If looking to short, wait for clear rejection (price taps and reverses) - Don't try to buy the breakout until it clearly breaks and retests **Cave Diving Analogy**: Your dive computer is beeping - you've reached your planned turn-back depth. No matter how interesting it looks ahead, honor your plan. --- ### Scenario 3: "Mitigated Levels Create New Structure" **Situation**: Price breaks and mitigates the 1st High. The previous 2nd High becomes the new 1st High. **Interpretation**: The structure just shifted. What was the 2nd level is now most relevant. **Action**: - Watch how price reacts to the newly-mitigated level - If it holds below (acts as resistance), bearish - If it reclaims and holds above (acts as support), bullish - The NEW 1st High is your next target/resistance **Cave Diving Analogy**: You've passed through a restriction - the cave layout ahead is different now. Update your mental map. --- ### Scenario 4: "Tight Tunnel, Upcoming Breakout" **Situation**: The Δ in the status row shows 3.25 points (very tight). Bands are converging. **Interpretation**: Price is consolidating between very close unmitigated levels. Breakout likely. **Action**: - Don't try to predict direction - Set alerts above 1st High and below 1st Low - When break occurs, trade the retest - Expect volatility - use wider stops **Cave Diving Analogy**: You're in a narrow passage. Movement will be sudden and directional once it starts. --- ### Scenario 5: "Imbalanced Structure" **Situation**: The statistics row shows "📊 22↑ / 7↓" **Interpretation**: There are many more unmitigated highs than lows. This suggests: - Price has been declining (hitting lows, leaving highs behind) - Potential bullish reversal zone (lots of overhead supply mitigated) - Or continued bearish structure (resistance everywhere above) **Action**: - Look at the age of those 22 highs - If mostly new (0-2 sessions): Just a recent downmove, not significant yet - If many old/ancient: Strong overhead resistance, be cautious on longs - Compare to price action: Is price respecting the remaining lows? **Cave Diving Analogy**: You've swam deeper than your starting point - most of your markers are above you now. Are you planning the ascent or going deeper? --- ## Final Thoughts: The Philosophy This indicator is built on a simple but powerful principle: **The market has memory, and that memory has weight.** Every unmitigated level represents: - Liquidity left behind - Orders waiting to be filled - Institutional interest potentially parked - Psychological significance for participants The longer a level remains unmitigated, the more "charged" it becomes. When price finally revisits it, something significant usually happens - either a strong reversal or a definitive break. Your job as a trader isn't to predict which outcome will occur. Your job is to: 1. **Recognize** when you're approaching these charged zones 2. **Respect** them by adjusting position size and risk 3. **React** appropriately based on how price behaves at them 4. **Remember** that ancient levels (like ancient wisdom) deserve extra reverence The Cave Diving Framework embedded in this indicator serves as a constant reminder: Trading, like cave diving, requires rigorous respect for environmental hazards, meticulous planning, and the discipline to turn back when your limits are reached. **Every proximity alert is the market asking you**: *"Do you really want to go deeper?"* Sometimes the answer is yes - when your setup, confluence, and risk management all align. Often, the answer should be no - and that's the trader avoiding the accident that would have happened to the gambler. --- ### 🎯 Quick Reference Card **Color System:** - 🟢 Bright colors = New (0-1 sessions) = Shallow water - 🟡 Medium colors = Medium (2-3 sessions) = Penetration depth - 🔴 Dark colors = Old (4-6 sessions) = Deep dive zone - 🟣 Deep dark colors = Ancient (7+ sessions) = Overhead environment **Symbols:** - ↑ ↑↑ ↑↑↑ ↑↑↑↑ ↑↑↑↑↑ = High levels (1st through 5th) - ↓ ↓↓ ↓↓↓ ↓↓↓↓ ↓↓↓↓↓ = Low levels (1st through 5th) - ⚠️ = Proximity alert (danger zone) - 🟢 = Bullish structure - 🔴 = Bearish structure - Δ = Tunnel width (distance between 1st high and 1st low) **Critical Rules:** 1. Never fight ancient levels (7+ sessions) 2. Respect proximity alerts (⚠️) 3. Scale out near old/ancient resistance 4. Wait for confluence when entering 5. Let mitigated levels prove their new role --- **Remember**: The indicator gives you structure. The trading edge comes from your discipline in respecting that structure. Trade safe, trade smart, and always know your exit before your entry. 🎯 --- *"You don't become your best self by denying your patterns. You become your best self by recognizing them, understanding them, and choosing differently." - Adapted from The Mountain Is You* In trading: You don't become profitable by ignoring market structure. You become profitable by recognizing it, understanding it, and choosing your entries accordingly.

Non-Psychological Levels🟩 Non-Psychological Levels is a structural analysis tool that segments price action into objective ranges, identifying Broken and Unbroken levels without relying on psychological or time-based assumptions. By emphasizing mechanically derived price behavior, it provides traders with a clear framework for analyzing support and resistance in a consistent and unbiased manner across various market conditions. This indicator introduces a new approach to understanding market structure by focusing on price movement within defined segments, free from behavioral patterns, round numbers, or specific time intervals. While the indicator is time-agnostic in design, it works within the natural time progression of the chart, ensuring that segmentation aligns with the inherent structure of price movement. Broken levels, where price has breached a structural boundary, and Unbroken levels, which remain intact, are visualized with horizontal lines. These structural zones are complemented by dynamically boxed segments that contextualize both historical and ongoing price behavior. By offering an objective perspective, the Non-Psychological Levels indicator complements psychology-based tools, helping traders explore market dynamics from multiple angles. When structural levels align with psychological zones, they reinforce critical price areas; when they differ, they provide opportunities to analyze price behavior from an alternative lens. This indicator is designed as both an educational framework and a practical tool, encouraging a deeper understanding of structural price behavior in technical analysis. ⭕ THEORY AND CONCEPT ⭕ The Non-Psychological Levels indicator is grounded in the principle of analyzing price behavior without reliance on psychological assumptions or time-based factors. Its primary purpose is to provide a structural framework for identifying support and resistance levels by focusing solely on price movement within mechanically defined segments. By removing external influences such as sentiment, time intervals, or market sessions, the indicator offers an unbiased lens through which traders can observe price dynamics. Non-psychology, as defined here, refers to an approach that excludes behavioral and emotional patterns—like fear, greed, or herd mentality—from price analysis. Traditional tools often depend on these patterns to identify zones such as pivots or Fibonacci retracements, but these methods can be inconsistent in volatile markets. In contrast, the Non-Psychological Levels indicator focuses entirely on what price is doing, free from assumptions about trader behavior or external time constraints. The indicator’s time-agnostic and mechanically driven design segments price action into consistent ranges, highlighting "Broken" levels (where price breaches structural boundaries) and "Unbroken" levels (where price holds). These structural zones remain unaffected by subjective or external influences, ensuring clarity and consistency across different markets and timeframes. By doing so, the indicator reveals a pure view of price structure, independent of psychological biases. Importantly, the Non-Psychological Levels indicator is not intended to replace psychology-based tools but to complement them. When its structural levels align with psychological zones like round numbers or session highs/lows, the significance of these areas is reinforced. Conversely, when the levels differ, the contrast provides traders with alternative insights into market dynamics. This dual perspective—blending mechanical objectivity with behavioral analysis—enhances the depth and flexibility of market evaluation. The following principles outline the theoretical foundation of the indicator and its unique contribution to structural price analysis: Time-Agnostic Design : The indicator avoids reliance on time-based factors like daily opens, session intervals, or specific events. Instead, it segments price action using bar indexes, ensuring that structural levels are identified independently of external time variables. While the x-axis of a chart inherently represents time, this indicator abstracts away its influence, allowing traders to focus purely on price movement without the bias of temporal context. Mechanical and Neutral Framework : Every calculation within the indicator is predetermined by a set of mechanical rules, ensuring no subjective input or interpretation affects the results. This objectivity guarantees that levels are derived solely from observed price behavior, providing a reliable framework that traders can trust to remain consistent across different assets, timeframes, and market conditions. Broken and Unbroken Levels : Broken levels represent zones where price has breached a structural boundary, while Unbroken levels highlight areas where price has consistently respected its range. This distinction provides a clear and systematic method for identifying key support and resistance levels, offering insights into where future price interactions are most likely to occur. Neutral Price Behavior : By dividing price action into equal segments, the indicator removes the influence of external factors like trader sentiment or psychological expectations. Each segment independently determines significant levels based purely on price action, enabling a structural view of the market that abstracts away behavioral or emotional biases. Complement to Psychological Tools : While the indicator itself avoids behavioral assumptions, its levels can align with psychological zones like round numbers, pivots, or Fibonacci levels. When these structural and psychological levels overlap, it reinforces the importance of key areas, while divergences offer opportunities to examine price behavior from a new perspective. Educational Value : The indicator encourages traders to explore the contrast between structural and psychological analysis. By introducing a framework that isolates price behavior from external influences, it challenges traditional methods of technical analysis, fostering deeper insights into market structure and behavior. 🔍 UNDERSTANDING STRUCTURAL LEVELS 🔍 The Non-Psychological Levels indicator offers a straightforward yet powerful way to understand market structure by segmenting price action into mechanically defined ranges. This segmentation highlights two key elements: "Broken" levels, where price has breached structural boundaries, and "Unbroken" levels, which remain intact and respected by price action. Together, these components create a framework for identifying potential areas of support and resistance. Broken Levels : These are structural boundaries that price has surpassed, indicating areas where previous support or resistance failed. Broken levels often signal transitions in price behavior, such as shifts in momentum or the start of trending movements. They provide insight into zones where price has already tested and moved beyond. Unbroken Levels : These levels remain intact within a given price segment, marking areas where price has consistently respected boundaries. Unbroken levels are particularly useful for identifying potential reversal points or zones of continued support or resistance. Their persistence across price action often makes them reliable indicators of market structure. The visual segmentation of price action into distinct ranges allows traders to observe how price transitions between structural zones. For example: - Clusters of Unbroken levels near the current price may suggest strong support or resistance, offering areas of interest for reversals or breakouts. - Gaps between Unbroken levels highlight areas of price inefficiency or low interaction, which may become significant if revisited. By focusing solely on structural price behavior, the Non-Psychological Levels indicator enables traders to analyze price independently of time or psychological factors. This makes it a valuable tool for understanding price dynamics objectively, whether used on its own or alongside other indicators. 🛠️ SETTINGS 🛠️ The Non-Psychological Levels indicator offers various customizable settings to help users tailor its visualization to their specific trading style and market conditions. These settings allow adjustments to sensitivity, level projection, and the source of price calculations (e.g., wicks or closing prices). Below, we outline each setting and its impact on the chart, along with examples to illustrate their functionality. Custom Settings Sensitivity : This setting adjusts the balance between detailed and broader structural levels by controlling the number of segments. Higher values result in more segments, revealing finer price levels, while lower values consolidate segments to highlight major price movements. Source : Allows the user to choose between 'Wick' or 'Close' for detecting levels. Selecting 'Wick' emphasizes the absolute highs and lows of price action, while 'Close' focuses on closing prices within each segment. Level Labels : Configures the visual representation of price levels, allowing users to toggle between price values, symbols (▲ ▼), or disabling labels altogether. This setting ensures clarity in how Broken and Unbroken levels are displayed on the chart. Unbroken Levels : - - - Users can customize the colors and label styles for Unbroken levels, which highlight areas where price has respected structural boundaries. Broken Levels : -|- Similar to Unbroken levels, users can specify the visual appearance of Broken levels, including color customization for Broken highs and lows. These settings help distinguish areas where price has breached a structural boundary. Projection Options : This setting allows users to control how broken and unbroken levels are visually extended on the chart. The Future option projects lines forward to the right of the current price, showing potential future relevance of levels. The All option extends lines both forward and backward, providing a comprehensive view of how levels align with historical and potential future price action. The None option disables projections, keeping the chart focused solely on current segment levels without any extensions. Segments : Includes options for customizing the segment visualization: - Live Segment : Toggles the display of a highlighted box representing the current developing segment, helping users focus on ongoing price action. - Boxes : Allows users to display filled boxes around each segment for additional visual emphasis. - Segment Colors : Users can define separate colors for support (lower) and resistance (upper) segments, making it easier to interpret directional trends. - Boundaries : Enables or disables vertical lines to mark segment boundaries, providing a clearer view of structural divisions. Repaint : This setting allows users to enable or disable triangle labels within the live segment. When enabled, the triangles dynamically update to reflect real-time price behavior during the live bar but will repaint until the bar is fully confirmed. Disabling this option prevents the triangles from appearing during the live bar, reducing potential confusion as they may otherwise flash on and off during price updates. This setting ensures users can choose their preferred visualization while maintaining clarity in real-time analysis. Color Settings : Offers extensive customization for all visual elements, including Broken and Unbroken levels, segment boundaries, and live segments. These settings ensure the indicator can adapt to individual preferences for chart readability. 🖼️ CHART EXAMPLES 🖼️ The following chart examples illustrate different configurations and features of the Non-Psychological Levels indicator. These examples highlight how the indicator’s settings influence the visualization of structural price behavior, helping traders understand its functionality in various scenarios. Broken and Unbroken Levels : Orange prices are Broken HIghs. Blue prices are Broken Lows. Green and Red are Unbroken. Boundaries : Enable Boundaries to visualize segments. High Sensitivity Setting : A high sensitivity setting produces fewer segments and levels, emphasizing broader price ranges and major structural zones. This configuration is better suited for higher timeframes or identifying overarching trends. Low Sensitivity Setting : A low sensitivity setting results in a greater number of segments and levels, offering a granular view of price structure. This configuration is ideal for analyzing detailed price movements on lower timeframes. Live Segment with Triangles Enabled : This example shows the live segment box with triangle labels enabled. These triangles update dynamically during the live bar but may repaint until the bar is confirmed, helping traders observe real-time price behavior. Broken and Unbroken Levels : This example highlights Broken levels (where price has breached structural boundaries and are drawn through subsequent price action) and Unbroken levels (where price has respected structural boundaries). These distinctions visually identify areas of potential support and resistance. Broken and Unbroken Levels with Projection: All : This example demonstrates the "Project All" feature, where broken and unbroken levels are extended both forward and backward on the chart. This visualization highlights historical and potential future support and resistance zones, helping traders better understand how price interacts with these structural levels over time. Segment Boxes with Boundaries : Filled boxes around individual segments visually distinguish each price interval, offering clarity in observing structural price transitions. 📊 SUMMARY 📊 The Non-Psychological Levels indicator provides a unique framework for analyzing structural price behavior through the identification of Broken and Unbroken levels. These levels act as a mechanical representation of support and resistance, independent of psychological biases or time-based factors. By focusing purely on price movement within defined segments, the indicator offers a neutral and consistent approach to understanding market dynamics. This method complements traditional tools by providing an unbiased perspective. When structural levels align with psychological zones—such as round numbers or session-based highs and lows—they reinforce the significance of these areas as key price zones. When they diverge, the indicator introduces an alternative view, prompting further exploration of price behavior. This dual perspective enhances the depth of analysis by combining the mechanical and behavioral aspects of price action. The Non-Psychological Levels indicator is not designed to generate trading signals or predict future price movements but serves as a visual and educational tool. Its adaptability across all markets and timeframes allows traders to integrate it into their broader strategies. By highlighting structural price dynamics, the indicator offers a fresh perspective on market analysis while remaining compatible with other technical tools. ⚙️ COMPATIBILITY AND LIMITATIONS ⚙️ Asset Compatibility : The Non-Psychological Levels indicator is compatible with all asset classes, including cryptocurrencies, forex, stocks, and commodities. It can be applied to any chart or timeframe, making it a flexible tool for structural price analysis. Users should adjust the Sensitivity setting to ensure the segmentation aligns with the price behavior of the specific asset being analyzed. For instance, higher sensitivity values are more suitable for assets with large price ranges, while lower values work well for assets with tighter ranges. Visual Range Dependency : The indicator is optimized to perform calculations only within the visible range of the chart. This is a significant advantage, as it prevents unnecessary calculations and maintains efficient performance. However, because of this dependency, levels may appear to "recalculate" when the chart is zoomed in or out quickly or shifted abruptly. While this does not affect the integrity of the levels, it may cause a temporary lag as the indicator adjusts to the new visual range. Persistence of Levels Beyond Visibility : Even if levels are not visible on the chart due to zoom or scroll settings, they still exist in the background and are recalculated when revisited. This ensures that the structural price analysis remains consistent, regardless of the chart view. Box Limitations in Pine Script : The indicator is subject to Pine Script's inherent limitation of 500 boxes. This means that no more than 500 segments or level boxes can be drawn on the chart simultaneously. For most configurations, this limitation is mitigated by focusing on the visual range, but users employing very low sensitivity settings may exceed the limit. In such cases, only the most recent 500 boxes will be displayed, potentially omitting earlier segments. Lag with Low Sensitivity Settings : When sensitivity is set to a low value, the indicator creates many more segments, resulting in finer granularity and a higher number of boxes. While this provides detailed structural levels, it may increase the likelihood of exceeding Pine Script’s 500-box limit or cause a temporary lag when rendering a dense set of boxes over a wide visual range. Users should adjust sensitivity to balance detail with performance, especially on assets with high volatility or broad price ranges. Live Segment Caution : The live segment box updates in real time to reflect price movements as the segment is still developing. Since the segment high and segment low are not yet finalized, users should interpret this feature as a dynamic visualization of current price behavior rather than a definitive structural analysis. This ensures clarity during ongoing price action while maintaining the integrity of the indicator's framework. Cross-Market Versatility : The indicator’s time-agnostic and mechanical design ensures that it functions identically across all markets and timeframes. However, users should consider the unique characteristics of different markets when interpreting the results, as certain assets (e.g., highly volatile cryptocurrencies) may require sensitivity adjustments for optimal segmentation. Visual Range Dependency: Levels recalculate efficiently within the chart's visible range but may lag temporarily when zooming or scrolling quickly. These considerations ensure that the Non-Psychological Levels indicator remains robust and versatile while highlighting some inherent limitations of Pine Script and real-time recalculations. Users can mitigate these constraints by carefully adjusting sensitivity and understanding how the visual range dependency affects performance. ⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️ The Non-Psychological Levels indicator is a visual analysis tool and is not designed as a predictive or trading signal indicator. Its primary purpose is to highlight structural price levels, providing an objective framework for understanding support and resistance within mechanically segmented price action. The indicator operates within the visible range of the chart to ensure efficiency and adaptiveness, but this recalculation should not be interpreted as a forecast of future price behavior. While the structural levels may align with significant price zones in hindsight, they are purely a reflection of observed price dynamics and should not be used as standalone trading signals. This indicator is intended as an educational and visual aid to complement other analysis methods. Users are encouraged to integrate it into a broader trading strategy and make adjustments to the settings based on their individual needs and market conditions. 🧠 BEYOND THE CODE 🧠 The Non-Psychological Levels indicator, like other xxattaxx indicators , is designed with education and community collaboration in mind. Its open-source nature encourages exploration, experimentation, and the development of new approaches to price analysis. By focusing on structural price behavior rather than psychological or time-based factors, this indicator introduces a fresh perspective for users to study. Beyond its visual utility, the indicator serves as an educational framework for understanding the concept of non-psychological analysis. It offers traders an opportunity to explore price dynamics in a purely mechanical way, challenging conventional methods and fostering deeper insights into structural behavior. This approach is especially valuable for those interested in exploring new concepts or seeking alternative perspectives on market analysis.

Inversion Fair Value Gap Model [PJ Trades]GENERAL OVERVIEW: The Inversion Fair Value Gap Model indicator is a complete rule-based system designed to identify trade setups using the Inversion Fair Value Gap strategy taught by PJ Trades. It automates the strategy’s workflow by detecting liquidity sweeps, confirming V-shape recoveries, identifying valid Inversion Fair Value Gaps, validating higher-timeframe Fair Value Gap taps, and checking for a clear opposite Draw On Liquidity. These factors are evaluated together to produce a signal rating of A, A+, or A++, based on how many of these criteria the setup satisfies. When a long or short setup is confirmed, the indicator automatically plots an entry, stop-loss, break-even, and two take-profit levels. A dashboard that updates in real-time displays the current directional bias, liquidity sweep activity, Inversion Fair Value Gap confirmation state, V Shape Recovery state, higher-timeframe Fair Value Gap context, opposite Draw on Liquidity, SMT divergence, and other key information relevant to the trading model. The indicator also includes optional trade statistics on the dashboard that tracks the recent win rates for A, A+, and A++ setups, as well as separate long and short win rates. This indicator was developed by Flux Charts, in collaboration with PJ Trades. What is the theory behind the indicator?: The Inversion Fair Value Gap model is built on the idea that when the market pushes above a high or below a low, it often does so to sweep liquidity. If that move quickly fails and price reverses, it shows the sweep was a grab for orders and not a continuation. That quick rejection is the V Shape Recovery behavior. An Inversion Fair Value Gap forms when a Fair Value Gap that once supported the original move gets invalidated afterward. That invalidation confirms the shift in direction and becomes the new reference point for trades. The Inversion Fair Value Gap model uses this sequence because it highlights when the market has taken liquidity, rejected continuation, and started delivering in the opposite direction. INVERSION FAIR VALUE GAP MODEL FEATURES: The Inversion Fair Value Gap Model indicator includes 15 main features: Sessions Key Levels & Swing Levels Liquidity Levels Liquidity Sweeps V Shape Recoveries Higher-Timeframe Fair Value Gaps Inversion Fair Value Gaps Macros Bias Signals New Day Opening Gap New Week Opening Gap SMT Divergences Dashboard Alerts SESSIONS: The Inversion Fair Value Gap Model indicator includes five trading sessions (times in EST): Asia: 20:00 - 00:00 London: 02:00 - 05:00 NY AM: 09:30 - 12:15 NY Lunch: 12:15 - 13:30 NY PM: 13:30 - 16:00 Session highs and lows are automatically tracked and used within the indicator’s signal logic. 🔹Session Zones: Each session has a zone that outlines its active time window. These zones can be toggled on or off independently. When active, they visually separate each part of the trading day. Users can adjust the color and opacity of each session box. Users can also enable session labels, which place a label above each session zone showing its corresponding session name. 🔹Session Time: Users can toggle on ‘Time’ which will display each session’s time window next to its session title. 🔹Session Highs/Lows: Every session can display its own high and low as horizontal lines. Users can customize the line style for session highs/lows, choosing between solid, dashed, or dotted. The color of the lines will match the same color used for the session box. Users can adjust the color of the labels as well, which is applied to all session high/low labels. When price has moved above a session high, or below a session low, the label will not be displayed anymore. 🔹Extend Levels: When enabled, each session’s high and low levels can be extended forward by a set number of bars. Please Note: Disabling a session under the main Sessions section only hides its visuals (boxes, lines, or labels). It does not impact signal detection or logic. KEY LEVELS: The Inversion Fair Value Gap Model indicator includes 11 key market levels that outline important structural price areas across daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes. These levels include the Daily Open, Previous Day High/Low, Weekly Open, Previous Week High/Low, Monthly Open, Previous Month High/Low, Midnight Open, and 08:30 Open. The levels can be enabled or disabled and customized in color and line style. All of the levels except the Midnight Open and 08:30 Open are used for the indicator’s signal logic. 🔹Daily Open The Daily Open marks where the current trading day began. 🔹Previous Day High/Low The Previous Day High (PDH) marks the highest price reached during the previous regular trading session. It shows where buyers pushed price to its highest point before the market closed. The Previous Day Low (PDL) marks the lowest price reached during the previous regular trading session. It shows where selling pressure reached its lowest point before buyers stepped in. When price pushes above the PDH or below the PDL, the level is removed from the chart. 🔹Weekly Open The Weekly Open marks the first price of the current trading week. 🔹Previous Week High/Low The Previous Week High (PWH) marks the highest price reached during the previous trading week. It shows where buying pressure reached its peak before the weekly close. The Previous Week Low (PWL) marks the lowest price reached during the previous trading week. It shows where sellers pushed price to its lowest point before buyers regained control. When price pushes above the PWH or below the PWL, the level is removed from the chart. 🔹Monthly Open The Monthly Open marks the opening price of the current month. 🔹Previous Month High/Low The Previous Month High (PMH) marks the highest price reached during the previous calendar month. It represents the point at which buyers achieved the strongest push before the monthly close. The Previous Month Low (PML) marks the lowest price reached during the previous calendar month. It shows where selling pressure was strongest before buyers stepped back in. When price pushes above the PMH or below the PML, the level is removed from the chart. 🔹Midnight Open The Midnight Open marks the first price of the trading day at 00:00 EST. 🔹08:30 Open The 08:30 Open marks the opening price at 08:30 EST. 🔹Customization Options: Users can fully customize the appearance of all key levels, including the following: Labels Label Size Line Style Line Colors Labels: Users can toggle on ‘Show Labels’ to display labels for each toggled-on level that price hasn’t pushed above/below. Users can also adjust the size of labels, choosing between auto, tiny, small, normal, large, or huge. Line Style: Users can select a line style, choosing between solid, dashed, or dotted, which is applied to all toggled-on key levels. Line Color: Users can choose different colors for each of the following key levels: Daily Open, Previous Day High, Previous Day Low Weekly Open, Previous Week High, Previous Week Low, Monthly Open, Previous Month High, Previous Month Low Midnight Open 08:30 Open 🔹Extend Levels: When enabled, each key level is extended forward by a set number of bars. Please Note: Disabling a level in the “Key Levels” section only hides its visuals and does not affect the indicator’s signals. 🔹Swing Levels The indicator automatically plots Swing Highs and Swing Lows which are used in the indicator’s signal generation logic. A swing high forms when a candle’s high is greater than the highs of the bars immediately before and after it. A swing low forms when a candle’s low is lower than the lows of the bars immediately before and after it. 🔹Swing Level Colors Users can customize the color of Active Levels and Swept Levels. Active Levels are levels that price has not pushed above or below Swept Levels are levels that price pushed above or below. 🔹Swing Levels – Show Nearest This setting determines how many swing highs/lows are displayed on the chart. The indicator will display the nearest X highs to price and the nearest X lows to price. For example, if ‘Show Nearest’ is set to 2, the nearest 2 swing highs and nearest 2 swing lows to price will be plotted on the chart. LIQUIDITY LEVELS: The Inversion Fair Value Gap Model indicator automatically identifies and plots liquidity at key structural points in the market. These include swing highs and swing lows, session highs and lows, and major higher timeframe reference points as explained in the SESSIONS and KEY LEVELS sections above. All of these areas are treated as potential pools of resting orders and are used throughout the indicator’s signal logic. 🔹What is Buyside Liquidity?: Buyside Liquidity (BSL) represents price levels where many buy stop orders are sitting, usually from traders holding short positions. When price moves into these areas, those stop-loss orders get triggered and short sellers are forced to buy back their positions. These zones often form above key highs such as the previous day, week, or month. Understanding BSL is important because when price reaches these levels, the sudden wave of buy orders can create sharp reactions or reversals as liquidity is taken from the market. 🔹What is Sellside Liquidity?: Sellside Liquidity (SSL) represents price levels where many sell stop orders are waiting, usually from traders holding long positions. When price drops into these areas, those stop-loss orders are triggered and long traders are forced to sell their positions. These zones often form below key lows such as the previous day, week, or month. Understanding SSL is important because when price reaches these levels, the surge of sell orders can cause sharp reactions or reversals as liquidity is taken from the market. 🔹 Which Liquidity Levels Are Used The indicator tracks liquidity at the following areas: Asia Session High/Low London High/Low NY AM High/Low NY Lunch High/Low NY PM High/Low Previous Day High and Low Previous Week High and Low Previous Month High and Low Daily Open Weekly Open Monthly Open Swing Highs/Lows 🔹 How Liquidity Levels Are Used All tracked levels across sessions, swing points, and higher timeframes serve as potential liquidity targets. When price trades above one of these highs, the indicator looks for short setups if other confluences align. When price trades below lows, the indicator looks for long setups if other confluences align. LIQUIDITY SWEEPS: The indicator automatically detects Buyside Liquidity and Sellside Liquidity sweeps using the liquidity levels mentioned in the previous section. 🔹What is a Liquidity Sweep? Liquidity sweeps occur when price trades beyond a key high or low and activates resting buy-stop or sell-stop orders in that area. It’s how the market gathers the liquidity needed for larger participants to enter positions. Traders often place stop-loss orders around obvious highs and lows, such as the previous day’s, week’s, or month’s levels. When price pushes through one of these areas, it triggers the stops placed there and generates a burst of volume. This can lead to quick movements in price as those orders are executed. 🔹Sellside Liquidity Sweep These occur when price dips below a Sellside Liquidity (SSL) level, taking out the stop-loss orders placed by long traders below that low. When this happens, the indicator records the sweep and begins monitoring for potential long setups as the next step in the IFVG trading strategy. Long trades are only eligible after a SSL sweep. 🔹Buyside Liquidity Sweep These occur when price dips above a Buyside Liquidity (BSL) level, taking out the stop-loss orders placed by short seller traders above that high. When this happens, the indicator records the sweep and begins monitoring for potential short setups as the next step in the trading strategy. Short trades are only eligible after a BSL sweep. 🔹How to Use Liquidity Sweeps Liquidity sweeps are not direct trade signals. They are best used as context when forming a directional bias. A sweep shows that the market has removed liquidity from one side, which can hint at where the next move may develop. For example: When BSL is swept, it often signals that buy stops have been triggered and the market may be preparing to move lower. Traders may then begin looking for short opportunities. When SSL is swept, it often signals that sell stops have been triggered and the market may be preparing to move higher. Traders may then begin looking for long opportunities. V SHAPE RECOVERIES: 🔹 What Is a V Shape Recovery? A V shape recovery is a sharp, immediate reversal that happens right after price sweeps BSL or SSL. It indicates that price quickly moved back in the opposite direction after trading through the level. This behavior signals a shift in momentum and is a required confirmation in the indicator for signal generation. The indicator will not look for long trades after a SSL sweep unless a V shape recovery occurs. It will not look for short trades after a BSL sweep unless a V shape recovery occurs. Without this behavior, the indicator assumes that price may still be delivering in the direction of the sweep, so no valid setups can form. 🔹 Why V Shape Recoveries Matter V shape recoveries help confirm that the liquidity the sweep did not immediately continue in the same direction. They separate false breaks from true continuation. A sweep without recovery often means price may keep trending, so the indicator does not generate signals in those cases. A sweep with a V shape recovery confirms rejection and sets the foundation for valid Inversion Fair Value Gap formation. This makes the V shape recovery one of the most important sequence steps in the Inversion Fair Value Gap Model. 🔹 How the Indicator Detects V Shape Recoveries V shape recoveries can be visually intuitive when looking at a chart, but they are difficult to define consistently programmatically. To ensure reliable and repeatable detection, the indicator uses a rules-based method that evaluates candle size, candle direction, and the strength of the move immediately following the liquidity sweep. This approach removes subjectivity and allows the indicator to confirm V shape behavior the same way every time. The indicator does not plot any visual elements specifically for V shape recoveries. Instead, the presence of a V shape recovery is implied through the signals themselves. Every valid long or short signal that appears after a liquidity sweep requires a confirmed V shape recovery. This means that if a signal is generated following a sweep, a V shape recovery has occurred. 🔹 V Shape Recovery After a Sellside Sweep (SSL Sweep) After price trades below a sellside liquidity level, long positions are liquidated. If buyers quickly step in and force price upward with strong momentum, this forms a V shape recovery. This signals that the sweep below the low was rejected and that buyers have reclaimed control. When this occurs, the indicator begins monitoring for long setups. 🔹 V Shape Recovery After a Buyside Sweep (BSL Sweep) After price pushes above a buyside liquidity level, many short positions are stopped out. If sellers immediately step in and drive price back down with strong movement, this forms a V shape recovery. This behavior reflects a quick change in candle direction immediately following the sweep. When this occurs, the indicator begins monitoring for short setups. 🔹Failed V Shape Recoveries These examples show failed V shape recoveries, where price did not reverse decisively after the BSL or SSL sweep. The lack of strong response from buyers or sellers indicates that momentum did not shift. Thus, the indicator will not detect valid long/short setups using these liquidity sweeps. HIGHER-TIMEFRAME FAIR VALUE GAPS: Higher-timeframe Fair Value Gaps (HTF FVGs) provide important context in the Inversion Fair Value Gap Model because they show where significant imbalance occurred on larger market structures. The indicator automatically detects HTF FVGs and uses them as part of the signal rating system. 🔹 What Is a Fair Value Gap? A Fair Value Gap (FVG) is an area where the market’s perception of fair value suddenly changes. On your chart, it appears as a three-candle pattern: a large candle in the middle, with smaller candles on each side that don’t fully overlap it. A bullish FVG forms when a bullish candle is between two smaller bullish/bearish candles, where the first and third candles’ wicks don’t overlap each other at all. A bearish FVG forms when a bearish candle is between two smaller bullish/bearish candles, where the first and third candles’ wicks don’t overlap each other at all. This creates an imbalance because price moved so quickly that one side of the auction did not trade. Examples: 🔹 What Makes an FVG “Higher-Timeframe”? In this indicator, HTF FVGs are Fair Value Gaps detected on timeframes higher than the chart’s current timeframe. For example, on a 5-minute chart, a 1-hour FVG would be considered a HTF FVG. The indicator automatically plots and checks whether price interacts with these HTF FVGs during a liquidity sweep and incorporates this into the signal rating (A, A+, A++). 🔹 How the Indicator Uses Higher-Timeframe FVGs The indicator automatically scans up to three user-selected higher timeframes for valid bullish and bearish FVGs and tracks price’s behavior around them in the background. When any of these higher timeframes are enabled, their FVGs are used directly within the signal logic. During a liquidity sweep, the indicator checks whether price taps into any enabled HTF FVG. A tap occurs when price trades inside the boundaries of a higher-timeframe FVG during or immediately after the sweep. A bullish HTF FVG tap during a sellside sweep supports a long setup. A bearish HTF FVG tap during a buyside sweep supports a short setup. When an HTF FVG tap aligns with the direction of the setup, the signal’s rating is increased. This can increase a setup’s rating from A to A+ or from A+ to A++. 🔹 Higher-Timeframe FVG Customization Users can select up to three higher timeframes for HTF FVG detection. When a higher timeframe is enabled, its FVGs are used in the model’s signal logic. Users can also choose whether to display these HTF FVGs visually on the chart, by enabling the ‘Plot HTF FVGs’ setting. Each enabled HTF FVG can be customized with the following options: Bullish and Bearish Colors: Users can set different fill colors for bullish and bearish HTF FVGs for each selected timeframe. Midline: When enabled, a midline is drawn through the center of each HTF FVG. Users can customize the midline’s line style, choosing between solid, dashed, or dotted and also customize the midline’s color. Labels: When enabled, each plotted HTF FVG displays a label that shows its originating timeframe (for example, 1H, 4H). Plot HTF FVGs: When disabled, the HTF FVG zones are hidden from the chart while the logic remains active in the background for signals. Show Nearest: This setting controls how many HTF FVGs are displayed based on proximity to current price. Users can choose to show the nearest X bullish HTF FVGs and the nearest X bearish HTF FVGs. This filter is applied across all enabled higher timeframes and does not limit by timeframe individually. 🔹When are Higher Timeframe Fair Value Gaps mitigated? A Higher Timeframe Fair Value Gap is considered mitigated when a candle from the chart’s timeframe closes above the gap for a bearish FVG or below the gap for a bullish FVG. INVERSION FAIR VALUE GAPS: Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVGs) are a core requirement of the Inversion Fair Value Gap Model. Every long and short signal generated by the indicator requires a valid IFVG, just like liquidity sweeps and V shape recoveries. Without a confirmed IFVG, the model will not produce a setup. 🔹 What Is an Inversion Fair Value Gap? An Inversion Fair Value Gap is a Fair Value Gap that becomes invalidated by a candle close in the opposite direction. This “flip” confirms that the original imbalance failed and that the market has shifted. A bullish IFVG forms when a bearish FVG is invalidated by a candle closing above it. A bearish IFVG forms when a bullish FVG is invalidated by a candle closing below it. In the indicator, IFVGs are not used as retracement areas. Signals are generated immediately when a valid IFVG forms, not after price returns to the gap. The IFVG itself is the confirmation event that finalizes a setup sequence after a liquidity sweep and V shape recovery. 🔹 How the Indicator Plots IFVGs The indicator only plots IFVGs that are used in long or short setups. Not every possible IFVG is shown on the chart. Only the IFVG involved in a confirmed signal is displayed. Users can disable IFVG plots entirely if they prefer a minimal view. This hides the visual gaps but does not affect the signal logic. 🔹 Customization Options Users can customize how IFVGs appear on the chart: Color Settings: Choose separate fill colors for bullish IFVGs and bearish IFVGs. Midline: Toggle an optional midline inside the IFVG and choose between a solid, dashed, or dotted line. Midline Color: Adjust the color of the IFVG Midline. MACROS: Macros are short, predefined time windows, where price is more likely to seek liquidity or rebalance imbalances. These periods often create sharp movements or shifts in delivery, giving additional context to setups. In the Inversion Fair Value Gap Model, macros are used as a confluence factor. When a long or short signal forms during a macro time window, the setup’s rating can increase from A to A+ or from A+ to A++. Macros are not required for a signal to form, but they increase the signal’s rating when the setup aligns with macro timing. 🔹 How the Indicator Uses Macros The indicator allows users to enable up to five macros. Each macro has its own start and end time, which the user can customize. These time windows are used directly in the signal logic. If a valid IFVG setup forms while price is inside any of the enabled macro windows, the indicator increases the signal’s rating. Users may visually disable macros on the chart without affecting signal logic. Disabling visuals hides the macro zones, labels, and lines, but the underlying macro logic continues to function in the background for signals. The indicator’s default macros use the following time periods (in EST): 09:50 - 10:10 10:50 - 11:10 11:50 - 12:10 12:50 - 13:10 13:50 - 14:10 🔹 Macro Settings Each macro displays a shaded zone representing the active time window. This zone can be toggled on or off. Users can customize: The color of each macro zone The opacity of each zone Whether the zones display at all (‘Show Zones’) These visuals help identify whether price is currently inside a macro window. 🔹 Macro Labels: Users can enable macro labels, which place a text label showing the macro’s title and its time window. The label color is global (applies to all macros), and the label size can be adjusted. Individual macros cannot have unique label colors. 🔹 Macro Start/End Lines For additional clarity, the indicator draws two vertical markers for each macro: One at the start of the macro One at the end of the macro A horizontal macro line is then drawn between the highs of these two candles to highlight the full duration of the macro window. Users can customize: The line styles (solid, dashed, dotted) of the Macro Line and Start/End Lines BIAS: Bias determines which direction the indicator is allowed to generate signals. A bullish bias means only long setups can be confirmed. A bearish bias means only short setups can be confirmed. The bias acts as the final directional filter after a liquidity sweep, V shape recovery, and IFVG have all been validated. Even if all model conditions are met, the indicator will only confirm the setup if the direction aligns with the active bias. Users are able to manually set a bias or use an automatic bias filter, which is explained below. 🔹 Manual Bias Users can manually choose the directional bias at any time and choose between Bullish, Bearish, or Both. When set to Bullish, the indicator will only confirm long setups, regardless of market structure. When set to Bearish, only short setups are allowed. When set to Both, the indicator can confirm both long and short setups if all requirements are met. 🔹 Automatic Bias Automatic bias is fully rules-based and determined by how the previous session interacted with major draw-on-liquidity (DOL) levels. These levels include 1-hour highs and lows, 4-hour highs and lows, previous session highs and lows (such as Asia or London), and the previous day’s high and low. The indicator evaluates whether the previous session consolidated, manipulated liquidity, or manipulated and reversed before closing. Based on this behavior, the indicator establishes a directional bias for the current session. ◇ Previous Session Consolidation: If the previous session did not sweep any major liquidity levels and price remained inside its range, the session is classified as consolidation. After the current session sweeps a key low, the bias becomes bullish. After the current session sweeps a key high, the bias becomes bearish. The bias is determined live based on which side the current session manipulates first. ◇ Previous Session Manipulation (No Reversal): If the previous session swept a major high-timeframe level but did not reverse before the session closed, the model assigns a reversal-based bias at the start of the current session. If the previous session swept a low, the current session bias is bullish. If the previous session swept a high, the current session bias is bearish. Here, bias is determined immediately because the previous session’s manipulation defines the directional framework for the current session. ◇ Previous Session Manipulation + Reversal: If the previous session swept a DOL level and also reversed away from it within the same session, the model assigns a continuation-based bias at the start of the current session. If the previous session swept a low and reversed upward, the bias for the current session is bullish. If the previous session swept a high and reversed downward, the bias is bearish. 🔹 How the Indicator Uses Bias in Practice After the indicator validates the liquidity sweep, V shape recovery, and IFVG, it checks the active bias before confirming a signal. If bias is bullish, only long setups are allowed. If bias is bearish, only short setups are allowed. If bias is Both, setups of either direction may form. The bias does not influence the detection of liquidity sweeps, V shape recoveries, or IFVGs. It only determines whether those validated components are allowed to produce a final signal. Automatic bias updates based on session behavior, while manual bias remains fixed until the user changes it. SIGNALS: Signals are the final output of the Inversion Fair Value Gap Model indicator. A signal is only generated when all model conditions are satisfied in a clear, rules-based sequence. A signal consists of: An Entry A Stop-Loss (SL) A Breakeven (BE) level Two Take-Profit levels (TP1 and TP2) These components are plotted immediately once the final requirement (the IFVG confirmation) is met and the directional filter (bias) allows the setup. Signals can be rated A, A+, or A++, based on whether certain confluences were present during the setup’s formation. 🔹 What All Signals Have in Common Each signal type (A, A+, A++) requires the same four mandatory conditions. If any of these four are missing, the indicator will not print a signal. ◇ Required Component #1 – Valid Directional Bias The bias determines whether the indicator can confirm a long or short setup. Bullish bias → only long setups allowed Bearish bias → only short setups allowed Both → long or short setups allowed Automatic bias → bias determined by session-based liquidity logic explained above ◇ Required Component #2 – Liquidity Sweep The indicator must detect one of the following: Sellside Liquidity Sweep (SSL Sweep) for potential long setups Buyside Liquidity Sweep (BSL Sweep) for potential short setups ◇ Required Component #3 – V Shape Recovery After a liquidity sweep, the indicator evaluates whether price produced a valid V shape recovery. ◇ Required Component #4 – Inversion Fair Value Gap (IFVG) An IFVG must form in the direction of the potential setup. A bullish IFVG forms when a bearish FVG is invalidated by a candle closing above that gap A bearish IFVG forms when a bullish FVG is invalidated by a candle closing below that gap The IFVG must occur after the V Shape Recovery and Liquidity Sweep. The IFVG confirmation is the final structural requirement. Once it forms, the setup is considered structurally complete. 🔹 A Signals An A-rated signal contains exactly the four required components: Valid Bias Liquidity Sweep V Shape Recovery IFVG An A signals represent the foundational implementation of the IFVG Model. 🔹 A+ Signals An A+ signal includes the full A-signal structure plus ONE of the following: Higher-Timeframe FVG Tap Multi-Liquidity Sweep Inside a Macro Window ◇ Higher-Timeframe FVG Tap During a liquidity sweep, the indicator checks whether price taps into any enabled HTF FVG. A tap occurs when price trades inside the boundaries of a higher-timeframe FVG during or immediately after the sweep. A bullish HTF FVG tap during a sellside sweep supports a long setup. A bearish HTF FVG tap during a buyside sweep supports a short setup. ◇ Multi-Liquidity Sweep A Multi-Liquidity Sweep occurs when price sweeps two liquidity levels of the same type in the same directional push. Sweeping two lows in one move: Multi-Sellside Liquidity Sweep (long setups). Sweeping two highs in one move → Multi-Buyside Liquidity Sweep (short setups). ◇ Inside a Macro Window The final IFVG confirmation must occur inside a macro time window defined by the user. If exactly one of these additional confluences is present, the signal rating is A+. 🔹 A++ Signals (Two Additional Confluences) An A++ signal contains the full A signal structure plus TWO of the three confluences listed above. HTF FVG tap + Multi-Liquidity Sweep HTF FVG tap + Inside a Macro Window Multi-Liquidity Sweep + Inside a Macro Window If two confluences are present, the rating becomes A++. If all three are present, the setup is still rated a A++ (there is no A+++). 🔹 Signal Plots When a valid long/short setup is detected, a signal with its rating appears with the following: Entry: At the close of the candle that inverted a FVG Stop-Loss: At the nearest swing high for short setups or nearest swing low for long setups Breakeven Level: At the nearest swing high for long setups or the nearest swing low for short setups Take-Profit 1: At the second nearest swing high for long setups or the second nearest swing low for short setups. Take-Profit 2: At the third nearest swing high for long setups or the third nearest swing low for short setups. After a signal reaches either TP2 or SL, the levels for Entry, SL, BE, TP1, and TP2 are removed from the chart. If another signal appears before the prior signal reaches either TP2 or SL, the levels are also removed. Users can hover over any signal label to view a short summary of the exact criteria that were met for that setup. This includes whether a HTF FVG tap occurred, whether a multi-liquidity sweep was detected, whether the setup formed inside a macro window, and which liquidity level was swept prior to the V shape recovery. 🔹 Long Setup – A Rating A long A-rated setup forms when all four core requirements of the IFVG Model occur without any additional confluences. First, price must sweep a Sellside Liquidity level. Immediately after the sweep, price must form a valid V shape recovery. Once the recovery completes, a bullish IFVG must form by invalidating a bearish Fair Value Gap with a candle close above it. For a confirmed long signal, the indicator marks: Entry: At the candle close that invalidates the bearish FVG and creates the IFVG Stop Loss: At the nearest swing low Breakeven: Midpoint between entry and stop-loss Take Profit 1: At the second nearest swing high Take Profit 2: At the third nearest swing high In this example, price sweeps a swing low, has a V Shape recovery, and forms a bullish IFVG: 🔹 Short Setup – A Rating A short A-rated setup forms when all four core requirements of the IFVG Model occur without any additional confluences. Price must first sweep a Buyside Liquidity level. Immediately after the sweep, price must form a valid V shape recovery. Once the recovery completes, a bearish IFVG must form by invalidating a bullish Fair Value Gap with a candle close below it. For a confirmed short signal, the indicator marks: Entry: At the candle close that invalidates the bullish FVG and creates the IFVG Stop Loss: At the nearest swing high Breakeven: Midpoint between entry and stop-loss Take Profit 1: At the second nearest swing low Take Profit 2: At the third nearest swing low In this example, price sweeps a swing high, has a V shape recovery, and forms a bearish IFVG: 🔹 Long Setup – A+ Rating A long A+ setup forms when the four core requirements of the IFVG Model occur and exactly one additional confluence is present. Price must sweep a Sellside Liquidity level, form a valid V shape recovery, and create a bullish IFVG by invalidating a bearish FVG. One of the following must also occur: a bullish HTF FVG tap during the liquidity sweep, a multi-sellside liquidity sweep, or the IFVG confirmation forms inside a macro window. For a confirmed long A+ signal, the indicator marks: Entry: At the candle close that creates the bullish IFVG Stop Loss: At the nearest swing low Breakeven: Midpoint between entry and stop-loss Take Profit 1: At the second nearest swing high Take Profit 2: At the third nearest swing high In this example, price sweeps the NY AM Session Low, taps a 30-minute HTF FVG during the sweep, has a V shape recovery, and forms a bullish IFVG: 🔹 Short Setup – A+ Rating A short A+ setup forms when the four core requirements of the IFVG Model occur and exactly one additional confluence is present. Price must sweep a Buyside Liquidity level, form a valid V shape recovery, and create a bearish IFVG by invalidating a bullish FVG. One of the following must also occur: a bearish HTF FVG tap, a multi-buyside liquidity sweep, or the IFVG confirmation forms inside a macro window. For a confirmed short A+ signal, the indicator marks: Entry: At the candle close that creates the bearish IFVG Stop Loss: At the nearest swing high Breakeven: Midpoint between entry and stop-loss Take Profit 1: At the second nearest swing low Take Profit 2: At the third nearest swing low In this example, price sweeps a swing high, has a V shape recovery, and forms a bearish IFVG inside of the 13:50-14:10 macro: 🔹 Long Setup – A++ Rating A long A++ setup forms when the four core requirements of the IFVG Model occur and at least two additional confluences are present. Price must sweep a Sellside Liquidity level, form a valid V shape recovery, and create a bullish IFVG. The setup must also include any two or three of the following: a bullish HTF FVG tap, a multi-sellside liquidity sweep, or the IFVG confirmation forming inside a macro window. For a confirmed long A++ signal, the indicator marks: Entry: At the candle close that creates the bullish IFVG Stop Loss: At the nearest swing low Breakeven: Midpoint between entry and stop-loss Take Profit 1: At the second nearest swing high Take Profit 2: At the third nearest swing high In this example, price sweeps two swing lows, has a V shape recovery, taps a bullish 30-minute HTF FVG during the liquidity sweep, and forms a bullish IFVG inside of the 10:50-11:10 macro: 🔹 Short Setup – A++ Rating A short A++ setup forms when the four core requirements of the IFVG Model occur and at least two additional confluences are present. Price must sweep a Buyside Liquidity level, form a valid V shape recovery, and create a bearish IFVG. The setup must also include any two or three of the following: a bearish HTF FVG tap, a multi-buyside liquidity sweep, or the IFVG confirmation forming inside a macro window. For a confirmed short A++ signal, the indicator marks: Entry: At the candle close that creates the bearish IFVG Stop Loss: At the nearest swing high Breakeven: Midpoint between entry and stop-loss Take Profit 1: At the second nearest swing low Take Profit 2: At the third nearest swing low In this example, price sweeps a swing high, has a V shape recovery, taps a bearish 30-minute HTF FVG during the liquidity sweep, and forms a bearish IFVG inside of the 09:50-10:10 macro: 🔹Signal Settings ◇ Liquidity Levels Used: Users can select which type of liquidity levels the indicator uses for identifying liquidity sweeps: Swing Points: Only uses Swing Highs/Lows Session Highs/Lows: Only uses Session Highs/Lows Both: Uses both Swing Highs/Lows and Session Highs/Lows ◇ Bias: This setting determines which signal directions are allowed. Manual Bias: Users can manually choose the directional bias, picking between Bullish, Bearish, or Both. Automatic Bias: The indicator automatically determines a directional bias based on the criteria mentioned in the previous Bias section. ◇ IFVG Sensitivity: This setting determines the minimum gap size required for an FVG to qualify as an Inversion FVG. Higher values: only larger FVGs become IFVGs Lower values: smaller gaps are allowed ◇ Use First Presented IFVG: This setting determines whether the indicator limits signals to only the first IFVG created within the manipulation leg. What Is the First Presented IFVG? It is the earliest FVG formed inside the displacement that causes the liquidity sweep. For a bearish manipulation leg (price moving downward into the sweep), the first presented IFVG is the first FVG created at the start of that downward move: For a bullish manipulation leg (price moving upward into the sweep), the first presented IFVG is the first FVG created at the start of that upward move: When this setting is enabled, the indicator will only confirm signals when the IFVG used is derived from this first presented FVG. IFVGs that form later in the manipulation leg are not used for signal generation. ◇ Only Take Trades: This setting allows users to restrict signals to a defined time window. If a complete setup occurs inside the time window, it is allowed and plotted If it occurs outside the window, the signal will not appear For example, if you only wanted to see long/short signals between 9:30 AM and 12:00 PM, you would enable this setting and set the time window from 09:30 - 12:00. ◇ Minimum R:R This setting allows users to require a minimum risk-to-reward ratio before a signal is confirmed and plotted on the chart. The risk-to-reward ratio is calculated using the distance from the Entry to the Stop-Loss (risk) and the distance from the Entry to TP2 (reward). The indicator compares these distances and determines whether the setup meets or exceeds the minimum R:R value selected by the user. If the calculated R:R is equal to or greater than the chosen threshold, the signal will be displayed. If the calculated R:R is lower than the threshold, the signal will not appear on the chart. 🔹 Signal Rating Minimum Users can restrict which signal ratings appear: A: shows all signals A+: shows only A+ and A++ A++: shows only A++ setups 🔹 Signal Styling and Customization The indicator provides full control over how signal labels and levels appear on your chart. Users can customize long signals, short signals, all plotted lines, and the visibility of every individual element. ◇ Long Signal Styling Users can customize: Long Signal Label Color Long Signal Text Color Long Signal Label Size ◇ Short Signal Styling Users can customize: Short Signal Label Color Short Signal Text Color Short Signal Label Size ◇ Entry, Stop Loss, Breakeven, and Take Profit Lines Each line type can be enabled or disabled individually: Entry Line Stop Loss Line Breakeven Line Take Profit 1 & 2 Lines Users can also set custom colors for each line so every level is easy to track during live price movement. ◇ Show Price Labels Price labels can be toggled on or off individually for each level. Users can choose whether to show or hide the price for: Entry Stop loss Breakeven Take Profit 1 & 2 NEW DAY OPENING GAP: The New Day Opening Gap (NDOG) highlights the price difference between the previous day’s closing candle and the first candle of the new trading day. The indicator tracks this gap automatically each day and makes it available as optional context for users. 🔹 What Is the New Day Opening Gap? A New Day Opening Gap forms when the trading day opens at a price different from the previous day’s final closing price. If the new day opens above the prior day’s close → Bullish NDOG If the new day opens below the prior day’s close → Bearish NDOG This gap acts as a short-term draw on liquidity because the market may revisit the gap to rebalance price delivery. While the NDOG is not a required component for IFVG signals. 🔹 How the Indicator Uses the New Day Opening Gap When enabled, the indicator plots the gap as a rectangular zone spanning from the previous day’s close to the new day’s open. The zone remains active until it is fully filled by price or until the next day’s opening gap forms. Once price trades through the entire gap, or once a new NDOG replaces it the following day, the zone becomes inactive and is removed from the chart. The indicator does not use the NDOG for signal generation. It is strictly a visual tool that helps traders identify areas where price may retrace or seek liquidity during the session. 🔹 Customization Options Users have full control over how the New Day Opening Gap displays on the chart: Show New Day Opening Gap: Toggle the NDOG zone on or off Bullish NDOG Color: Customize the fill color for gaps formed above the prior close Bearish NDOG Color: Customize the fill color for gaps formed below the prior close NEW WEEK OPENING GAP: The New Week Opening Gap (NWOG) highlights the price difference between the previous week’s final closing candle and the first candle of the new trading week. The indicator tracks this gap automatically each week and provides it as optional context for users. 🔹 What Is the New Week Opening Gap? A New Week Opening Gap forms when the new trading week opens at a price different from the previous week’s closing price. If the new week opens above the prior week’s close → Bullish NWOG If the new week opens below the prior week’s close → Bearish NWOG This gap often serves as a medium-term draw on liquidity because price may return to rebalance the weekly displacement. The NWOG is not a required component for IFVG signals. 🔹 How the Indicator Uses the New Week Opening Gap When enabled, the indicator plots the gap as a rectangular zone spanning from the previous week’s close to the new week’s open. The zone remains active until it is fully filled by price or until the next week’s opening gap forms. Once price trades through the entire gap, or once a new NWOG replaces it the following week, the zone becomes inactive and is removed from the chart. The indicator does not use the NWOG for signal generation. It is purely a visual reference to help traders identify areas where price may rebalance or seek liquidity during the week. 🔹 Customization Options Users have full control over how the New Week Opening Gap displays on the chart: Show New Week Opening Gap: Toggle the NWOG zone on or off Bullish NWOG Color: Set the fill color for gaps formed above the prior weekly close Bearish NWOG Color: Set the fill color for gaps formed below the prior weekly close SMT DIVERGENCES: The indicator automatically marks SMT Divergences that occur between the current selected chart ticker and a second user-selected ticker. A SMT Divergence forms when the prices of the currently selected chart ticker and the user-selected ticker don’t follow each other. For example, if the current chart’s ticker symbol is SEED_ALEXDRAYM_SHORTINTEREST2:NQ and the user-selected ticker is $ES. If SEED_ALEXDRAYM_SHORTINTEREST2:NQ does not sweep the low of the NY AM Session, but NYSE:ES sweeps that same exact session’s low during the same candle, then a SMT Divergence is detected. In the images below, SEED_ALEXDRAYM_SHORTINTEREST2:NQ and NYSE:ES form a low at 12:20 AM on November 12th. At 12:35 AM, the 12:20 AM low is taken out on $NQ. However, on NYSE:ES , price failed to take out this exact low at 12:35 AM. Thus, an SMT Divergence is detected, and a line is drawn between the two lows on $NQ. NYSE:ES Chart: SEED_ALEXDRAYM_SHORTINTEREST2:NQ Chart: 🔹 SMT Divergence Settings The indicator includes settings that allow users to control how SMT Divergences are detected and displayed. ◇ Length Length controls how sensitive the pivot detection is when finding highs and lows for SMT. Lower Length: confirms swings with fewer bars, so more swings qualify. Higher Length: requires more bars to confirm a swing, so fewer swings qualify. ◇ Divergence Length The Divergence Length setting defines how many bars apart the two swing points may be for them to count as part of the same SMT Divergence. Higher Values: The two instruments can form their swing highs or lows farther apart in time. As long as both swings occur within this wider bar window, the indicator compares them for divergence. Lower Values: The two swing points must occur very close to each other. ◇ Show Last This setting limits how many recent SMT Divergences are displayed on the chart. For example, setting Show Last to 1 will only show the most recent SMT Divergence, while higher values allow more historical SMT Divergences to remain visible on the chart. ◇ Divergence Ticker Users can change the ticker used for detections. Since SMT Divergences occur by comparing two tickers, the inputted ticker within the settings will always be compared to the current selected ticker on your chart. DASHBOARD: The dashboard provides a live summary of all major components of the Inversion Fair Value Gap Model. It updates every candle and displays the current state of each requirement used in the setup logic. 🔹 Real-Time Model Components The state of each component is displayed with the following: ✔️ = condition is satisfied ❌ = condition is not satisfied 🐂 / 🐻 = current directional bias (bullish or bearish) The dashboard actively tracks the following: ◇ Bias (🐂 Bullish, 🐻 Bearish, or Both) Shows the current bias with a bull or bear emoji. If using automatic bias, the dashboard updates as soon as the session logic determines a direction. ◇ Liquidity Sweep Displays ✔️ once a valid BSL Sweep (for shorts) or SSL Sweep (for longs) is detected. Shows ❌ when no sweep is present. ◇ V Shape Recovery Displays ✔️ when a confirmed V shape recovery forms after the sweep. Shows ❌ until a valid V shape appears. ◇ Inversion Fair Value Gap (IFVG) Shows ✔️ once a bullish or bearish IFVG forms in the correct direction. Shows ❌ when no IFVG has yet confirmed. ◇ Higher-Timeframe FVG Interaction Displays ✔️ when price is currently inside any enabled HTF FVG or taps a HTF FVG during a liquidity sweep. Displays ❌ when price is not inside a HTF imbalance. ◇ Clear Opposite Draw on Liquidity (DOL) Shows ✔️ when a clear opposite-side draw is present in the model logic. Shows ❌ if no clear opposite draw is detected. ◇ SMT Divergence Shows ✔️ for 20 candles immediately after an SMT Divergence forms. After 20 candles, it returns to ❌ unless a new SMT Divergence is detected. 🔹 Signal Information Display When a valid long or short signal appears, the dashboard expands to show the full details of the setup, including: Signal Rating Entry Price Stop-Loss Price Breakeven Price Take Profit 1 Price Take Profit 2 Price 🔹 Trade Statistics Module Users can enable a built-in statistics panel to view historical performance of signals across all ratings. The trade stats include: A Signal Win Rate A+ Signal Win Rate A++ Signal Win Rate Long Signal Win Rate Short Signal Win Rate Total Number of Trades Used in the Calculations A trade is counted as a win if price reaches breakeven before stop-loss. A trade is counted as a loss if price hits stop-loss before breakeven. 🔹 Dashboard Customization The dashboard includes several options to control its appearance and position: Show Dashboard: Toggle the entire dashboard on or off Dashboard Size: Choose the size of the dashboard Dashboard Position: Choose the location of the dashboard on the chart Trade Stats Text Color: Customize the color of the 2nd column outputs under the Trade Stats section in the dashboard ◇ Component Toggles Users can enable or disable the display of any model component based on preference. Each of these items can be shown or hidden independently: Setup Rating Entry Stop-Loss Breakeven Take Profit 1 Take Profit 2 Bias Liquidity Sweep Higher-Timeframe FVG Interaction V Shape Recovery Inversion FVG Clear Opposite Draw on Liquidity Trade Stats These toggles only affect visual display. Disabling any of them does not affect the underlying indicator’s logic. ALERTS: The Inversion Fair Value Gap Model includes full alert functionality using AnyAlert(), allowing users to receive notifications in real time for all major model components and signal events. Users can enable or disable each alert type in the “Alerts” section of the settings. After selecting which alerts they want active, they can create a single TradingView alert using the AnyAlert() condition. This will automatically trigger alerts for all enabled events as soon as they occur on the chart. Available Alerts: Long Signal Short Signal Breakeven Hit (BE) Take Profit 1 Hit (TP1) Take Profit 2 Hit (TP2) Stop-Loss Hit (SL) Liquidity Sweep Detected SMT Divergence Detected How to Receive Alerts: Open the TradingView alert creation window. Select the IFVG Model indicator as the alert condition. Choose AnyAlert() from the condition dropdown. Create the alert. IMPORTANT NOTES: TradingView has limitations when running features on multiple timeframes such as the HTF FVGs, which can result in the following restriction: Computation Error: The computation of using MTF features is very intensive on TradingView. This can sometimes cause calculation timeouts. When this occurs, simply force the recalculation by modifying one indicator’s settings or by removing the indicator and adding it to your chart again. UNIQUENESS: This indicator is unique because it organizes every part of the Inversion Fair Value Gap Model into one structured, rules based system. It detects liquidity sweeps, confirms V shape recoveries, identifies valid IFVGs, checks higher timeframe FVG taps, reads macro timing, and applies a session based directional bias. All of these components are evaluated in a fixed sequence so users always know exactly why a signal appears. Every part of the logic is customizable, including which liquidity types are used, which IFVGs qualify for signals, which time windows allow trades, the minimum risk to reward for a setup, and all visual elements on the chart. The tool also includes optional SMT Divergence detection, daily and weekly opening gaps, a live dashboard that shows the state of each model requirement, and optional signal performance statistics.

Manipulation Model [FB]GENERAL OVERVIEW: The Manipulation Model indicator is a complete rule-based system that identifies and confirms setups from the Funded Brothers Manipulation Model. It detects large impulsive candles, called Manipulation Candles and Almost Manipulation Candles, that form around key market levels such as session highs/lows, daily, weekly, and monthly levels, or higher timeframe Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). Using this structure, the indicator automatically marks long, short, bulltrap, and beartrap setups with predefined entry, stop loss, and take profit areas. This indicator was developed by Flux Charts in collaboration with the Funded Brothers. ATTRIBUTION NOTICE: This indicator incorporates concepts and source code from the indicator “MCs with Alerts” authored by @hamza_xau on TradingView. We have received full written permission from the original author to use and commercialize this code within this invite-only script. Original script: MCs with Alerts: What is the purpose of the indicator?: The indicator automates detection of the Manipulation Model trading strategy setups by combining candle structure, key levels, session timing, and higher timeframe Fair Value Gaps. It removes discretion by enforcing fixed conditions for valid signals and automatically managing entry, stop-loss, and take-profit logic. What is the theory behind the indicator?: The indicator is built on how price interacts with major reference points such as session highs and lows, or daily and weekly levels. These levels are commonly referenced in technical analysis as areas where price previously reversed or consolidated. Manipulation Candles identify moments when price breaks past these reference points on both sides of the prior candle before closing firmly in one direction. When these candles form near higher timeframe Fair Value Gaps, it reflects price reacting inside an area that previously showed directional imbalance. The higher timeframe EMA filter aligns all detected setups with the broader market trend, allowing only signals that match the dominant direction. MANIPULATION MODEL FEATURES: Manipulation Candlesticks Almost Manipulation Candlesticks Higher Timeframe Fair Value Gaps Sessions Key Levels Signals Dashboard Alerts MANIPULATION CANDLESTICKS: Manipulation Candlesticks (MCs) are candles that sweep both sides of the previous candle’s range and close outside of it. In the Manipulation Model indicator, these candles form the foundation for the long/short setups. Once one forms, the indicator checks its position relative to sessions, key levels, and higher timeframe Fair Value Gaps to determine if a valid setup exists. 🔹What is a Manipulation Candlestick? A Manipulation Candlestick (MC) is defined by structure rather than size. It forms when price takes out both the high and low of the previous candle, then closes outside that range. A bullish Manipulation Candle occurs when price sweeps below the previous candle’s low and then closes above the previous candle’s high. A bearish Manipulation Candle occurs when price sweeps above the previous candle’s high and then closes below the previous candle’s low. 🔹How to interpret and use Manipulation Candlesticks: Manipulation Candlesticks show where price made a strong one-sided move after taking both sides of the previous candle’s range. When one forms, it marks an area where buyers or sellers were likely trapped as price moved aggressively in one direction. A bullish MC shows strong buying after a false move lower. Price sweeps below the prior low, takes out the prior high, and closes above the previous range, confirming buyers are in control. A bearish MC shows strong selling after a false move higher than the previous candle’s high. Price sweeps above the prior high, drops below the prior low, and closes beneath the previous range, confirming sellers are dominant. 🔹How Manipulation Candlesticks are identified: The indicator confirms Manipulation Candles using three filters once a candle closes: Sweep Condition: Price must take both sides of the previous candle’s range, moving above its high and below its low, before closing outside that range. Directional Close: A bullish MC must close above the previous high, and a bearish MC must close below the previous low. Wick Confirmation: A bullish MC must have a smaller upper wick (high - close) than lower wick (open - low), and a bearish MC must have a smaller lower wick (close - low) than upper wick (high - open). Once these conditions are met at candle close, it is confirmed as a bullish or bearish Manipulation Candle. 🔹Bullish Manipulation Candle A bullish Manipulation Candle forms when price sweeps below the previous candle’s low, then breaks above its high, and closes above it. The lower wick must be larger than the upper wick, showing little pullback as price pushed upward and confirming strong buying pressure. 🔹Bearish Manipulation Candle A bearish Manipulation Candle forms when price sweeps above the previous candle’s high, then drops below its low, and closes beneath it. The upper wick must be larger than the lower wick, showing little pullback as price moved downward and confirming strong selling pressure. 🔹Manipulation Candle Visuals When the indicator detects a Manipulation Candle, it automatically changes the candle’s color on the chart. Both bullish and bearish Manipulation Candles use the same color. Users can change this color in the settings by adjusting the “Manipulation Candlestick” option found under the “Style Customization” section. The candle coloring feature can also be turned off entirely, which only removes the visual highlight from the chart and does not affect the signals or any of the indicator’s underlying logic that uses Manipulation Candlesticks. ALMOST MANIPULATION CANDLESTICKS: Almost Manipulation Candlesticks (AMCs) are similar to Manipulation Candles, except they close inside the previous candle’s range instead of outside it. In the Manipulation Model indicator, these candles help identify when price is showing the same sweeping behavior but hasn’t yet confirmed full displacement. They act as early warnings that a manipulation event may be developing. Just like Manipulation Candles, the indicator checks an AMC’s position relative to sessions, key levels, and higher timeframe Fair Value Gaps to determine if a valid setup exists. 🔹What is an Almost Manipulation Candlestick? An Almost Manipulation Candlestick (AMC) forms when price sweeps both the high and low of the previous candle and closes inside that candle’s range. A bullish AMC occurs when price sweeps below the previous low, moves above the previous high, and closes within the previous candle’s body instead of above it. A bearish AMC occurs when price sweeps above the previous high, drops below the previous low, and closes within the previous candle’s body instead of beneath it. 🔹How to Interpret and Use Almost Manipulation Candlesticks: Almost Manipulation Candles highlight hesitation or early signs of manipulation. A bullish AMC indicates buyers pushed price up after sweeping lower, but price did not close decisively above the prior high. A bearish AMC indicates sellers pushed price down after sweeping higher, but price did not close decisively below the prior low. 🔹How Almost Manipulation Candlesticks are identified: The indicator confirms Almost Manipulation Candles using the same sweep and wick logic as Manipulation Candles, except the candle’s close must remain inside the previous candle’s range: Sweep Condition: Price must take both sides of the previous candle’s range, moving above its high and below its low. Candle Close Location: The candle’s close must stay within the prior candle’s range. Wick Confirmation: For a bullish AMC, the lower wick must be larger than the upper wick. For a bearish AMC, the upper wick must be larger than the lower wick. Once these conditions are met at candle close, it is confirmed as a bullish or bearish Almost Manipulation Candle. 🔹Bullish Almost Manipulation Candle A bullish AMC forms when price sweeps below the previous candle’s low, moves above the prior candle’s high, and closes back inside the previous candle’s range. The lower wick must be larger than the upper wick, showing that buyers defended lower prices but the move did not close decisively upward. 🔹Bearish Almost Manipulation Candle A bearish AMC forms when price sweeps above the previous candle’s high, drops below the previous candle’s low, and closes back inside the previous candle’s range. The upper wick must be larger than the lower wick, showing that sellers rejected higher prices but the candle did not close decisively lower. 🔹Almost Manipulation Candle Visuals When the indicator detects an Almost Manipulation Candle, it automatically changes the candle’s color on the chart. Both bullish and bearish Almost Manipulation Candles use the same color. Users can change this color in the settings by adjusting the “Almost Manipulation Candlestick” option found under the “Style Customization” section. The candle coloring feature can also be turned off entirely, which only removes the visual highlight from the chart and does not affect the signals or any of the indicator’s underlying logic that uses Almost Manipulation Candlesticks. HIGHER TIMEFRAME FAIR VALUE GAPS: The Manipulation Model indicator automatically plots Fair Value Gaps from two user-selected higher timeframes. 🔹What is a Fair Value Gap?: A Fair Value Gap (FVG) is an area where the market’s perception of fair value suddenly changes. On your chart, it appears as a three-candle pattern: a large candle in the middle, with smaller candles on each side that don’t fully overlap it. A bullish FVG forms when a bullish candle is between two smaller bullish/bearish candles, where the first and third candles’ wicks don’t overlap each other at all. A bearish FVG forms when a bearish candle is between two smaller bullish/bearish candles, where the first and third candles’ wicks don’t overlap each other at all. Bullish & Bearish FVGs: 🔹Why are Fair Value Gaps important?: Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) show where price moved so quickly that one side of the market never got a chance to trade. They represent sudden shifts in what traders believe something is worth, where “fair value” changed. When a large candle drives straight through an area without overlap from the candles before and after it, it means buyers or sellers were so aggressive that the market skipped that price zone entirely. These gaps matter because they mark the moment when confidence in price changes. If price rallies and never pulls back, it signals that traders accept the new higher prices as fair and are willing to keep buying there. The same logic applies in reverse for bearish gaps. They tell you where the market re-priced aggressively and where value was last accepted. 🔹How are Fair Value Gaps used?: Higher Timeframe FVGs are used as a confluence for all setups within the Manipulation Model indicator. The indicator automatically detects and plots these imbalances from the chosen higher timeframe onto the current chart. When a Manipulation or Almost Manipulation Candle forms near or inside a higher timeframe Fair Value Gap, it adds context to the setup. They are not trade signals by themselves but act as a supporting element that contextualizes setups. 🔹When are Higher Timeframe Fair Value Gaps mitigated? A Higher Timeframe Fair Value Gap is considered mitigated when the selected higher timeframe closes above the gap for a bearish FVG or below the gap for a bullish FVG. 🔹Higher Timeframe FVG Settings: Timeframe 1 / Timeframe 2: Select up to two higher timeframes to use for Fair Value Gaps. Disabling either one removes it visually from the chart but does not affect signal generation. However, the timeframes you select will be used for signal generation logic. For example, if you select the 1-hour and 4-hour timeframes, then the 1-hour and 4-hour FVGs will be used for signal generation logic, which is explained in the signals section below. Combine Zones: When enabled, overlapping FVGs on the same higher timeframe are merged into a single zone. This keeps the chart clean and prevents duplicate zones from displaying. Midline: Adds a center line through each higher timeframe FVG. Labels: Displays a “ FVG” label beside each zone. This helps users see which timeframe the FVG is detected from. Color Customization: Each timeframe has separate color settings for bullish and bearish FVGs. Users can adjust these colors independently for both timeframes to fit their chart layout. FVG Display Limit: Controls how many higher timeframe FVGs are shown at once. Only the nearest X active gaps to current price will appear, helping maintain a clear view of relevant imbalances. SESSIONS: The Manipulation Model indicator includes six customizable trading sessions: Asia, London, NY AM, NYSE, London Close, and NY PM. All session times and visuals are fully user-configurable. Each session has adjustable start and end times that can be set to match your preferred schedule. Users can also customize visuals for each session, including the color, opacity, and visibility of session zones. Session highs and lows are automatically tracked and used within the indicator’s signal logic. When a Manipulation or Almost Manipulation Candle forms near a session high or low, it is recognized within the indicator’s signal detection. Default times used for each session (in EST): Asia: 20:00 - 00:00 London: 02:00 - 05:00 NY AM: 08:00 - 09:30 NYSE: 09:30 - 10:00 London Close: 10:00 - 11:00 NY PM: 11:00 - 14:00 🔹Session Settings: Session Boxes: Each session has a box that outlines its active time window. These boxes can be toggled on or off independently. When active, they visually separate each part of the trading day. Users can adjust the color and opacity of each session box. Session Highs/Lows: Every session can display its own high and low as horizontal lines. Users can customize the line style for session highs/lows, choosing between solid, dashed, or dotted. The color of the lines will match the same color used for the session box. Labels and Price Display: Labels can be toggled on for all session highs and lows. Users can adjust label color, text size, and choose whether to show the price next to the label. Users can adjust the text size, choosing between tiny, small, normal, large, and huge. Extend Levels: When enabled, each session’s high and low levels can be extended forward by a set number of bars. Session Titles: Titles for each enabled session (e.g., “Asia,” “London,” “NY AM”) can be displayed directly on the chart. Show Last: The “Show Last” setting allows you to choose how many recent sessions of each type appear on the chart. For example, if you only have the Asia session enabled and have this setting set to 2, the recent two Asia sessions will be displayed. 🔹Sessions Used Under the “Sessions Used” section in the settings, users can choose which sessions are active for signal generation. Only sessions enabled here will produce signals. For example, if you want setups to form only during the London session, turn off all other sessions in this section. Disabling a session under the main Sessions section only hides its visuals (boxes, lines, or labels). It does not impact signal detection or logic. However, changing a session’s start and end time in either section will affect signals, since signals are tied to the exact session windows defined by the user. This distinction ensures you have full control over what’s displayed visually versus what contributes to active trade signal logic. Please Note: Signals are only detected and plotted on your chart during sessions. Signals can not be detected outside of session time windows. KEY LEVELS: The Manipulation Model indicator includes 10 key market levels that outline important structural price areas across daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes. These levels include the Daily Open, Previous Day High/Low, Weekly Open, Previous Week High/Low, Monthly Open, Previous Month High/Low, and Midnight Open. The levels can be enabled or disabled and customized in color and line style. These levels are used for the indicator’s signal logic. 🔹Daily Open The Daily Open marks where the current trading day began. 🔹Previous Day High/Low The Previous Day High (PDH) marks the highest price reached during the previous regular trading session. It shows where buyers pushed price to its highest point before the market closed. This value is automatically pulled from the daily chart and projected forward onto intraday timeframes. The Previous Day Low (PDL) marks the lowest price reached during the previous regular trading session. It shows where selling pressure reached its lowest point before buyers stepped in. Like the PDH, this level is retrieved from the prior day’s data and extended into the current session. 🔹Weekly Open The Weekly Open marks the first price of the current trading week. 🔹Previous Week High/Low The Previous Week High (PWH) marks the highest price reached during the previous trading week. It shows where buying pressure reached its peak before the weekly close. This value is automatically pulled from the weekly chart and extended forward into the current week for easy reference on intraday timeframes. The Previous Week Low (PWL) marks the lowest price reached during the previous trading week. It shows where sellers pushed price to its lowest point before buyers regained control. Like the PWH, this level is sourced from the prior week’s data and projected onto the current week’s chart. 🔹Monthly Open The Monthly Open marks the opening price of the current month. 🔹Previous Month High/Low The Previous Month High (PMH) marks the highest price reached during the previous calendar month. It represents the point at which buyers achieved the strongest push before the monthly close. This level is automatically retrieved from the monthly chart and extended into the new month on all lower timeframes. The Previous Month Low (PML) marks the lowest price reached during the previous calendar month. It shows where selling pressure was strongest before buyers stepped back in. Like the PMH, this value is pulled from the prior month’s data and extended into the new month on all lower timeframes. 🔹Midnight Open The Midnight Open marks the first price of the trading day at 00:00 EST. 🔹Customization Options: Users can fully customize the appearance of all key levels, including the following: Daily Levels: Daily Open, PDH, and PDL Weekly Levels: Weekly Open, PWH, and PWL Monthly Levels: Monthly Open, PMH, and PML Midnight Open Color Settings: Each group of levels (Daily, Weekly, Monthly) shares a single color for the Open, High, and Low lines. For example, the Daily Open, PDH, and PDL all use the same color. Colors can be changed for each group, but not for individual levels within the same group. Line Style: Users can select a global line style, choosing between solid, dashed, or dotted, for all Daily, Weekly, and Monthly levels. This style applies to all levels within those groups. For example, the Weekly Open, PWH, and PWL must all share the same line style. The Midnight Open has its own independent line style setting and can use a different style from the other key levels. Show Labels: When enabled, text labels appear to the right of each key level. Users can adjust label color, but only one label color is applied to all levels for consistency. 🔹Key Levels Used: Under the “Key Levels Used” section, users can choose which Key Levels and Session Levels (Session Highs/Lows) are factored into signal generation. Only levels enabled here are considered within the logic that confirms setups. Users can choose between the following levels: Daily Open Previous Day High/Low Weekly Open Previous Week High/Low Monthly Open Previous Month High/Low Asia Session High/Low London Session High/Low NY AM Session High/Low NY Lunch Session High/Low NY PM Session High/Low London Close Session High/Low Midnight Open For example, if you only want to see setups that form using the Daily and Weekly levels, you should only enable the Daily Open, Previous Day High/Low, Weekly Open, and Previous Week High/Low. Disabling a level in the main “Key Levels” section only hides its visuals, while disabling it in “Key Levels Used” removes it entirely from the signal logic. Adjusting or removing any level in this section directly affects how setups are detected since the indicator references these levels when confirming Long, Short, Bulltrap, and Beartrap setups. SIGNALS: The Manipulation Model indicator automatically identifies Long, Short, Bulltrap, and Beartrap setups based on the interaction between Manipulation Candles (MCs), Almost Manipulation Candles (AMCs), and two main entry conditions: Key Levels and Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). Each signal type uses the structure of a Manipulation or Almost Manipulation Candle as its foundation. When one of these candles forms and aligns with the entry conditions, the indicator automatically plots labels for an entry, stop loss (SL), and take profit (TP). Every signal follows a mechanical set of rules and is marked in real time. Once confirmed on a candle close, the signal remains fixed on the chart and does not repaint. 🔹Higher Timeframe Bias Filter Before a signal is generated, the indicator automatically determines directional bias using the 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on the 1-hour timeframe. If price is above the 50 EMA, only bullish setups are allowed. If price is below the 50 EMA, only bearish setups are allowed. 🔹Stop Loss and Take Profit Logic: For every setup, the stop loss is placed at the low of the Manipulation or Almost Manipulation Candle for bullish setups, and at the high for bearish setups. The take profit is automatically calculated at a 1:1 risk-to-reward ratio relative to that distance. Users can adjust both the SL Multiplier and TP Multiplier in the settings, under the “General Configuration” section, to extend or contract these levels. For example, increasing the TP Multiplier to 1.5 sets the take profit at 1.5x the distance between the entry and stop loss. 🔹Signal Input Settings: Candle Type: Choose which candle type is used to generate signals. Options include: Manipulation Candle (MC) only Almost Manipulation Candle (AMC) only Both (signals are generated from either candle type) Entry Method: Determines whether signals are generated based on: Key Levels only Fair Value Gaps only Both (signals are generated from Key Levels AND Fair Value Gaps) Setup Types: You can enable or disable specific setup types. Only the selected setup types will appear on your chart: Long Setups Short Setups Bulltrap Setups Beartrap Setups 🔹Long Setup – Manipulation Candle + Key Level: A long setup forms when a bullish Manipulation Candle touches a toggled-on key level under the “Key Levels Used” section and closes above it during a toggled-on session from the “Sessions Used” section. After the candle closes and price is above the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks: Entry: At the close of the bullish Manipulation Candle Stop Loss: At the low of the same candle Take Profit: Equal distance above the entry, based on TP multiplier In this example, a bullish MC touches the PDH during the London Session and closes above the level: 🔹Short Setup – Manipulation Candle + Key Level A short setup forms when a bearish Manipulation Candle touches a toggled-on key level under the “Key Levels Used” section and closes below it during a toggled-on session from the “Sessions Used” section. After the candle closes and price is below the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks: Entry: At the close of the bearish Manipulation Candle Stop Loss: At the high of the same candle Take Profit: Equal distance below the entry, based on the TP Multiplier In this example, a bearish MC touches the Daily Open during the NY AM Session and closes below the level: 🔹Trap Confirmation Settings Two settings control how bulltrap and beartrap setups are confirmed once a Manipulation or Almost Manipulation Candle forms. Candles Between Confirmation: This setting defines the maximum number of candles allowed between the initial Manipulation Candle and the confirmation candle that closes back in the opposite direction. For example, if this value is set to 2, the confirmation candle must appear within two bars of the Manipulation Candle for the setup to remain valid. If too many candles form in between, the bull/bear trap setup is ignored. Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio: This input measures the ratio of the confirmation candle’s wick size to its body size for bulltrap and beartrap setups. Lower values require a larger body compared to the wick, meaning the confirmation candle must close more decisively. If the ratio is above the threshold set by the user, the confirmation candle for a bulltrap/beartrap setup is considered valid. For example, if the wick is 10 points and the body is 10 points, the ratio is 1.0 (10 / 10). If the wick is 10 points and the body is 20 points, the ratio is 0.5 (10 / 20). 🔹Beartrap Setup – Manipulation Candle + Key Level A beartrap setup forms when a bearish Manipulation Candle touches a toggled-on key level under the “Key Levels Used” section. The candle does not need to close above or below the level, it only needs to touch it. After this bearish MC forms, a confirmation candle must close back above the MC’s high during an enabled session under the “Sessions Used” section. The sweep or initial touch can occur before or outside the session, but the confirmation candle must close within an active session window. To confirm the setup, the following conditions must be met: The confirmation candle must close within the limit set by the Candles Between Confirmation input. Its wick-to-body ratio must be less than or equal to the Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio input Once these conditions are met and price is above the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks: Entry: At the close of the confirmation candle Stop Loss: At the low of the confirmation candle Take Profit: Equal distance above the entry, measured 1:1 from the candle’s body and scaled by the TP Multiplier In this example, a bearish Manipulation Candle touches the Daily Open level before price reverses and a confirmation candle closes above it. The confirmation candle occurs during the Asia Session, has a strong body with minimal wicks, meeting the Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio requirement, and it forms just two candles after the bearish MC which is within the limit set by the Candles Between Confirmation input. 🔹Bulltrap Setup – Manipulation Candle + Key Level A bulltrap setup forms when a bullish Manipulation Candle touches a toggled-on key level under the “Key Levels Used” section. The MC does not need to close above or below the level, it only needs to touch it. After this bullish MC forms, a confirmation candle must close back below the MC’s low during an enabled session under the “Sessions Used” section. The initial key level touch from the MC can occur before or outside the session, but the confirmation candle must close within an active session window. To confirm the setup, the following conditions must be met: The confirmation candle must close within the limit set by the Candles Between Confirmation input. Its wick-to-body ratio must be less than or equal to the Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio input. Once these conditions are met and price is below the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks: Entry: At the close of the confirmation candle Stop Loss: At the high of the confirmation candle Take Profit: Equal distance below the entry, measured 1:1 from the candle’s body and scaled by the TP Multiplier In this example, a bullish Manipulation Candle touches the Daily Open level before price reverses and a confirmation candle closes below it. The confirmation candle forms during the NY AM Session, has a strong body with minimal wicks that meet the Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio requirement, and it appears two candles after the bullish MC which is within the limit defined by the Candles Between Confirmation input. 🔹Long Setup – Almost Manipulation Candle + Key Level A long setup forms when a bullish Almost Manipulation Candle (AMC) touches a toggled-on key level under the “Key Levels Used” section and closes above it during a toggled-on session from the “Sessions Used” section. After the candle closes and price is above the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks: Entry: At the close of the bullish Almost Manipulation Candle Stop Loss: At the low of the same candle Take Profit: Equal distance above the entry, based on the TP Multiplier In this example, a bullish AMC touches the Daily Open during the NYSE Session and closes above the level. 🔹Short Setup – Almost Manipulation Candle + Key Level A short setup forms when a bearish Almost Manipulation Candle (AMC) touches a toggled-on key level under the “Key Levels Used” section and closes below it during a toggled-on session from the “Sessions Used” section. After the candle closes and price is below the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks: Entry: At the close of the bearish Almost Manipulation Candle Stop Loss: At the high of the same candle Take Profit: Equal distance below the entry, based on the TP Multiplier In this example, a bearish AMC touches the Midnight Open during the NY AM Session and closes below the level. 🔹Beartrap Setup – Almost Manipulation Candle + Key Level A beartrap setup forms when a bearish Almost Manipulation Candle (AMC) touches a toggled-on key level under the “Key Levels Used” section. The candle does not need to close above or below the level, it only needs to touch it. After this bearish AMC forms, a confirmation candle must close back above the AMC’s high during an enabled session under the “Sessions Used” section. The initial touch can occur before or outside the session, but the confirmation candle must close within an active session window. To confirm the setup, the following conditions must be met: The confirmation candle must close within the limit set by the Candles Between Confirmation input. Its wick-to-body ratio must be less than or equal to the Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio input. Once these conditions are met and price is above the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks: Entry: At the close of the confirmation candle Stop Loss: At the low of the confirmation candle Take Profit: Equal distance above the entry, measured 1:1 from the candle’s body and scaled by the TP Multiplier In this example, a bearish AMC touches the Midnight Open before price reverses and a confirmation candle closes above it. The confirmation candle forms during the London Session, has a large body with minimal wicks that meet the Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio requirement, and appears seven candles after the bearish AMC which is within the Candles Between Confirmation limit (10 by default). 🔹Bulltrap Setup – Almost Manipulation Candle + Key Level A bulltrap setup forms when a bullish AMC touches a toggled-on key level under the “Key Levels Used” section. The candle does not need to close above or below the level; it only needs to touch it. After this bullish AMC forms, a confirmation candle must close back below the AMC’s low during an enabled session under the “Sessions Used” section. The initial touch can occur before or outside the session, but the confirmation candle must close within an active session window. To confirm the setup, the following conditions must be met: The confirmation candle must close within the limit set by the Candles Between Confirmation input. Its wick-to-body ratio must be less than or equal to the Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio input. Once these conditions are met and price is below the 1-hour 50 EMA, the indicator marks: Entry: At the close of the confirmation candle Stop Loss: At the high of the confirmation candle Take Profit: Equal distance below the entry, measured 1:1 from the candle’s body and scaled by the TP Multiplier In this example, a bullish AMC touches the NY Lunch Session Low before price reverses and a confirmation candle closes below it. The confirmation candle forms during the Asia Session, has a strong body with minimal wicks that meet the Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio requirement, and appears six candles after the bullish AMC which is within the Candles Between Confirmation limit. 🔹Long Setup – Manipulation Candle + Fair Value Gap A long setup forms when a bullish Manipulation Candle touches a bullish higher timeframe Fair Value Gap (FVG) from one of the two higher timeframe inputs under the “Fair Value Gaps” section.

The confirmation candle forms during the Asia Session, has a strong body with minimal wicks that meet the Trap Wick-to-Body Ratio requirement, and appears six candles after the bullish AMC, which is within the Candles Between Confirmation limit. 🔹Signal Style Customization The Manipulation Model indicator provides full visual customization for all signal elements, allowing users to easily adjust the appearance of entry, stop loss, and take profit labels. Label Colors: Users can customize the label color for Long Setups (Long and Beartrap) and Short Setups (Short and Bulltrap). Long and Beartrap setups share the same label color. Short and Bulltrap setups share the same label color. Label text color can also be customized and applied globally to all signal labels. Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) Labels: The SL and TP label colors can be customized independently. Users can toggle SL Labels and TP Labels on or off. When turned off, the corresponding labels are hidden, but their levels remain active on the chart. Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit Lines: Each of these lines can be individually toggled on or off. Entry Line: Marks the entry price level. Stop Loss Line: Displays the SL level derived from each setup’s logic. Take Profit Line: Displays the TP level calculated using the Take Profit Multiplier setting. Users can also toggle the labels for each line on or off and adjust the color for each line type independently. WIN RATE DASHBOARD: The Win Rate Dashboard gives traders a quick way to see the recent performance of their enabled setups. It automatically calculates and displays win rates for each signal type turned on under the “General Configuration” section, based on the sessions and key levels currently active in the settings. The dashboard updates in real time, showing both the win rate percentage and total trade count for all enabled signal types combined. It looks back at a set number of bars to calculate results, providing a simple performance snapshot directly on your chart. How It Works: When a signal triggers, the indicator tracks whether price first reaches the Take Profit (TP) or Stop Loss (SL) level. A winning trade is recorded when the take profit is hit before the stop loss. A losing trade is recorded when the stop loss is hit before the take profit. The win rate = (Winning Trades / Total Trades) x 100 🔹Dashboard Customization: Users can adjust the dashboard’s appearance with the following settings: Background Color Frame Color Border Color Text Color You can also toggle the dashboard on or off from the settings menu. It appears in the top-right corner of the chart by default and its position cannot be changed. 🔹Disclaimer: The Win Rate Dashboard provides historical performance data based on the signals and conditions you’ve enabled. These results are calculated from past bars and are not indicative of future performance or profitability. ALERTS: The Manipulation Model indicator includes full alert functionality powered by AnyAlert(), allowing users to receive notifications for all major setups and level breaks in real time. Users can choose exactly which alerts they want to receive under the “Alerts” section of the settings. Once your preferred alerts are toggled on, you can create a TradingView alert using the AnyAlert() condition. This will automatically trigger alerts for all selected events as they occur on your chart. Available Alerts: Long Setup Short Setup Bulltrap Setup Beartrap Setup Manipulation Candle Almost Manipulation Candle Previous Day High/Low Break Current Day Open Break Previous Week High/Low Break Current Week Open Break Previous Month High/Low Break Current Month Open Break Asia Session High/Low Break London Session High/Low Break NY AM Session High/Low Break NYSE Session High/Low Break London Close Session High/Low Break NY PM Session High/Low Break Midnight Open Break To receive alerts: Open the alert creation window in TradingView Select “Manipulation Model ” as the condition Choose AnyAlert() from the dropdown Create the alert IMPORTANT NOTES: TradingView has limitations when running features on multiple timeframes, which can result in the following restriction: Computation Error: The computation of using MTF features is very intensive on TradingView. This can sometimes cause calculation timeouts. When this occurs, simply force the recalculation by modifying one indicator’s settings or by removing the indicator and adding it to your chart again. UNIQUENESS: The Manipulation Model is unique because every setup type is fully rule-based and tied to strict structural logic. Traders can control exactly how signals form by selecting which candle types are used, which key levels and sessions are active, and whether entries trigger from Key Levels, Fair Value Gaps, or both. All setups use objective rules for confirmation, wick-to-body ratio, and higher timeframe bias. The indicator also provides full customization for visuals, alerts, and trade parameters like TP and SL multipliers. A built-in Win Rate Dashboard tracks real-time performance for all enabled setup types based on the user’s active sessions and signal filters. Together, these features make it a complete, mechanical implementation of the Funded Brothers Manipulation Model and it works across all asset classes including stocks, crypto, forex, and futures.

Kinetic Scalper [BULLBYTE]KINETIC SCALPER - ADVANCED MOMENTUM & CONFLUENCE TRADING SYSTEM A SOPHISTICATED MULTI-FACTOR ANALYSIS INDICATOR FOR PRECISION ENTRIES The Kinetic Scalper is a comprehensive trading analysis tool that combines volume-weighted momentum calculations, multi-oscillator divergence detection, and a proprietary 15-factor confluence scoring system to identify high-probability reversal setups across all timeframes. WHAT MAKES THIS INDICATOR ORIGINAL This is NOT a simple mashup of existing indicators. The Kinetic Scalper features a completely custom momentum engine called the "Kinetic Pulse" - a volume-weighted momentum oscillator with Fisher Transform normalization that fundamentally differs from standard RSI or other momentum indicators. Every component feeds into a unified algorithmic framework designed specifically for this system. KEY INNOVATIONS: KINETIC PULSE ENGINE Unlike standard RSI which uses simple price changes, the Kinetic Pulse applies: → Volume weighting to price movements (high-volume moves carry more weight) → EMA smoothing instead of traditional SMA (faster response to changes) → Fisher Transform normalization for improved signal clarity → Adaptive period adjustment based on current volatility regime → Result: A momentum oscillator that responds to conviction, not just price noise 15-FACTOR CONFLUENCE SCORING SYSTEM Every signal is graded based on the number of confirming factors present: → Momentum position (oversold/overbought extremes) → Momentum velocity (direction change confirmation) → Momentum acceleration (strength of reversal) → Multi-oscillator divergence (price vs. 3 oscillators) → Volume confirmation (above-average participation) → Volume delta analysis (buying vs. selling pressure) → Higher timeframe alignment (trend confirmation from larger timeframe) → Session timing (major forex session awareness) → Structure clearance (clear path to profit targets) → Support/resistance proximity (confluence with key levels) → Market regime filtering (trending vs. choppy conditions) Signals are graded A+, A, or B based on how many factors align: • CONSERVATIVE MODE: A+ requires 12+ factors, A requires 9+, B requires 7+ • BALANCED MODE: A+ requires 10+ factors, A requires 7+, B requires 5+ • AGGRESSIVE MODE: A+ requires 8+ factors, A requires 5+, B requires 3+ TRADE ANALYSIS STATE MACHINE A sophisticated monitoring system that tracks trade conditions in real-time using: → 5-state analysis framework (Factors Aligned / Positive Bias / Mixed Signals / Factors Weakening / Negative Bias) → Hysteresis-based transitions (different thresholds to enter vs. exit states) → Confidence smoothing with EMA (reduces noise, prevents flip-flopping) → Minimum commitment periods before state changes → Override logic for significant events (near TP/SL, momentum reversals) → Result: Stable, actionable guidance that doesn't change on every bar INSTRUMENT-AWARE CALIBRATION Automatically detects what you're trading and applies optimized parameters: → Forex Majors: Standard ATR, high session weight → Forex Crosses: Tighter stops, moderate session weight → Crypto: Wider stops (1.8x multiplier), reduced session weight (24/7 markets) → Indices: Moderate-wide stops, high session weight → Commodities: Moderate stops, moderate session weight WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES The Kinetic Scalper is designed to identify high-confluence reversal opportunities by analyzing multiple dimensions of market behavior simultaneously. CORE FUNCTIONS: 1. SIGNAL GENERATION → Identifies potential reversal points at oversold/overbought extremes → Confirms with multi-oscillator divergence detection → Validates with volume, higher timeframe, and structural analysis → Filters out low-probability setups automatically → Grades signals based on total confluence factors present 2. AUTOMATED TRADE TRACKING → Calculates structure-based or ATR-based stop loss levels → Projects take profit targets using risk-to-reward ratios → Monitors live position status (P/L, distance to targets, R-multiple) → Tracks TP1 and TP2 hits automatically → Displays outcome markers (TP HIT, PARTIAL WIN, STOPPED) 3. REAL-TIME CONDITION MONITORING → Analyzes 6 factor categories during active trades → Provides confidence scoring (0-100 scale) → Generates actionable guidance based on current market state → Alerts when conditions deteriorate or improve → Helps with trade management decisions 4. COMPREHENSIVE MARKET ANALYSIS → Session detection (Asian, London, New York, Overlap) → Volatility regime identification (Low, Normal, High, Extreme) → Trend state classification (Trending Up/Down, Ranging, Transitioning) → Volume analysis (relative volume and delta approximation) → Choppiness filtering (blocks signals in ranging markets) WHY USE THIS INDICATOR PROBLEM: Most momentum indicators generate too many false signals at extremes. SOLUTION: The Kinetic Scalper requires MULTIPLE confirming factors before generating a signal, dramatically reducing noise and focusing on high-confluence setups. ADVANTAGES: ✓ QUALITY OVER QUANTITY → Signal grading ensures you can filter for only the highest-quality setups → A+ signals have 10-12+ confirming factors aligned → Cooldown periods prevent over-trading the same move ✓ COMPLETE TRADE FRAMEWORK → Entry signals with confluence justification → Calculated stop loss based on market structure or ATR → Two profit targets with clear risk-to-reward ratios → Live trade monitoring with factor analysis → Outcome tracking and visual markers ✓ ADAPTIVE TO MARKET CONDITIONS → Volatility-based period adjustment for momentum calculations → Instrument-specific ATR multipliers → Session awareness for forex traders → Higher timeframe trend filtering → Automatic regime detection (trending vs. choppy) ✓ TRANSPARENT METHODOLOGY → Every input has detailed tooltips explaining its purpose → Signal tooltips show exactly why a signal was generated → Dashboard displays all relevant market conditions → Factor scores are visible during trades → No "black box" mystery calculations ✓ NON-REPAINTING & RELIABLE → All signals use barstate.isconfirmed (only on closed bars) → Higher timeframe data uses lookahead_off with historical offset → No future data access or repainting behavior → What you see is what you get - signals don't disappear or move HOW THE INDICATOR WORKS SIGNAL GENERATION PROCESS: STEP 1: MOMENTUM ANALYSIS The Kinetic Pulse engine calculates volume-weighted momentum: → Price changes are weighted by volume ratio vs. 20-bar average → High-volume moves have more influence on the oscillator → Gains and losses are smoothed using EMA (not SMA like RSI) → Fisher Transform is applied for normalization to 0-100 scale → Result: Momentum reading that emphasizes conviction, not noise STEP 2: REVERSAL DETECTION The indicator looks for potential reversal conditions: → Kinetic Pulse reaching oversold zone (below dynamic lower threshold) → Momentum velocity turning positive after being negative (for longs) → OR bullish divergence detected on multiple oscillators → Price making lower lows while oscillators make higher lows = divergence STEP 3: MULTI-OSCILLATOR DIVERGENCE CONFIRMATION Divergence is validated across three sources: → Kinetic Pulse divergence → CCI divergence → Stochastic divergence → Multiple oscillators confirming divergence increases signal reliability STEP 4: CONFLUENCE FACTOR SCORING The system evaluates all 15 possible confirming factors: → Momentum position: Is pulse oversold/overbought? (+0 to +2 points) → Momentum direction: Is velocity reversing? (+0 to +2 points) → Momentum acceleration: Is reversal strengthening? (+0 to +1 point) → Divergence count: How many oscillators show divergence? (+0 to +2 points) → Volume strength: Is volume above 1.3x average? (+0 to +1 point) → Volume delta: Is cumulative delta positive/negative? (+0 to +1 point) → HTF alignment: Does higher timeframe support direction? (+0 to +2 points) → Session timing: Is it a prime trading session? (+0 to +1 point) → Clear air: Is path to targets clear of obstacles? (+0 to +1 point) → Structure confluence: Are we near support/resistance? (+0 to +1 point) → Market regime: Is market trending, not choppy? (+0 to +1 point) Total possible score: 15 points Minimum for signal: 3-12 points depending on sensitivity mode STEP 5: FILTER VALIDATION Before generating a signal, additional checks are performed: → Volume must be above minimum threshold (if filter enabled) → Higher timeframe must not oppose the signal direction (if filter enabled) → Target path must be clear of major resistance/support (if filter enabled) → Volatility must not be EXTREME (blocks signals in chaos) → Risk-to-reward ratio must meet minimum requirement → Cooldown period must have elapsed since last signal STEP 6: SIGNAL GRADING If all filters pass, the signal is graded based on score: → A+ Grade: Highest confluence (8-12+ factors depending on sensitivity) → A Grade: High confluence (5-9+ factors) → B Grade: Moderate confluence (3-7+ factors) Only graded signals (A+, A, or B) are displayed. STEP 7: TRADE LEVEL CALCULATION Stop loss and targets are calculated automatically: STOP LOSS METHODS: • Structure-Based: Uses recent swing low/high with ATR buffer, constrained by min/max ATR limits • ATR-Based: Pure ATR multiplier with min/max constraints • Fixed ATR: Simple ATR multiplier, no adjustments TARGET CALCULATION: • TP1: Entry ± (Stop Distance × Target 1 R:R) • TP2: Entry ± (Stop Distance × Target 2 R:R) • Default: TP1 at 1.0 R:R (1:1), TP2 at 2.0 R:R (1:2) STEP 8: TRADE MONITORING Once a signal is taken, the indicator tracks: → Current P/L in ticks and R-multiples → Distance to each target in ATR units → Distance to stop loss in ATR units → TP1 hit detection (marks with label, updates lines) → TP2 hit detection (closes trade, marks outcome) → Stop loss hit detection (closes trade, differentiates partial vs. full loss) STEP 9: FACTOR ANALYSIS (DURING TRADES) The Trade Analysis Panel monitors 6 key factor categories: → Momentum: Is momentum still aligned with trade direction? (-15 to +15 pts) → Position: Current R-multiple position (-12 to +12 pts) → Volume: Is volume still supportive? (-6 to +6 pts) → HTF Alignment: Does HTF still support trade? (-6 to +8 pts) → Target Proximity: How close are we to targets? (0 to +10 pts) → Stop Proximity: Are we dangerously close to stop? (-15 to +3 pts) Raw scores are summed and smoothed using 5-bar EMA to create Confidence Score (0-100). STEP 10: STATE MACHINE TRANSITIONS Based on smoothed confidence, the system transitions between 5 states: → FACTORS ALIGNED (72+): Everything looks good → POSITIVE BIAS (58-72): Conditions favorable → MIXED SIGNALS (48-58): Neutral conditions → FACTORS WEAKENING (22-48): Concerning signals → NEGATIVE BIAS (<22): Poor conditions Hysteresis prevents rapid flipping between states (different entry/exit thresholds). RECOMMENDED TIMEFRAMES & INSTRUMENTS TIMEFRAME VERSATILITY: Despite the name "Scalper," this indicator works on ALL timeframes: ✓ LOWER TIMEFRAMES (1m - 15m) → Ideal for: Scalping and very short-term trades → Expect: More signals, faster trades, requires active monitoring → Best for: Forex majors, liquid crypto pairs → Tip: Use Conservative sensitivity to reduce noise ✓ MID TIMEFRAMES (15m -

Example - Kinetic Scalper Trade Sequence Here's an example showing the complete trade lifecycle with all dashboard transitions, annotations, and descriptions. INSTRUMENT & TIMEFRAME DETAILS Symbol: Nifty 50 Index (NSE) Date: December 15, 2025 Session: London session (active trading hours) Instrument Type: Index (auto-detected) TRADE SEQUENCE BREAKDOWN SCREENSHOT 1: Pre-Signal Setup Building (Image 1) Time: ~12:00-14:30 UTC+5:30(approx.) Price Action: Uptrend showing signs of exhaustion near 26,200 Market State: Price at session highs Main Dashboard (Top Right): - Bias: LEAN SHORT - Pulse: 58.9 (approaching overbought) - Volatility: NORMAL - Trend: TRANSITIONING - Session: LONDON (favorable timing) - Volume: 0.98x (slightly below average) - HTF: BULLISH (caution for counter-trend) - Best Score: 9/5 (Short score building) - PDH/PDL: 26098.25 / 25938.95 Trade Analysis Panel (Bottom Left): - Status: NO ACTIVE TRADE - Long Score: 5/5 (RDY) - Short Score: 9/5 (RDY) - Panel Message: "Short pattern developing - score: 9" Description : Setup Development Phase: The indicator identifies a potential short opportunity as price reaches the previous day's high. The short confluence score has climbed to 9/15 points, meeting the 'Balanced' sensitivity threshold for a Grade B signal. Notice the 'LEAN SHORT' bias and the Kinetic Pulse reading of 58.9 approaching overbought territory. The Trade Analysis panel shows 'Short pattern developing' with 9/5 factors aligned. Key factors: momentum approaching reversal zone, price at resistance (PDH), and London session providing favorable conditions. SCREENSHOT 2: Signal Generated & Trade Entered (Image 2) Time: ~13:00 UTC+5:30 (signal bar) Entry Price: 26,184.65 Signal Grade: Grade Main Dashboard (Top Right): - Trade: SHORT - Entry: 26184.65 - P/L: 5.95 pts | +0.2R (early positive movement) - TP1: 26157.00 (33.2 pts away) - TP2: 26129.35 (60.84 pts away) - Stop: 26212.30 (22.1 pts away) - Bars: 1 (just entered) Trade Analysis Panel (Bottom Left): - Header: TRADE ANALYSIS - Status Bar: "Conditions mixed - improving 57%" - Confidence: 57% RISING - Factor Breakdown: - Momentum: -4 (velocity not yet aligned) - Position: +4 (slight profit) - Volume: +2 = (volume present) - HTF Align: +2 = (not strongly aligned) - Target: +0 - (far from TP) - Stop Dist: +3 - (good distance) - Bottom Status: "Conditions mixed - Monitoring" - Disclaimer: "Analysis only - Not financial advice" Description: Signal Activation: A Grade A short signal triggers at 26,184.65 after the short confluence score reached qualifying levels. The indicator places a structure-based stop loss at 26,212.30 (27.65 points risk) with dual targets at 1:1 and 1:2 risk-reward ratios. The Trade Analysis Panel immediately begins monitoring with an initial confidence score of 57% - classified as 'MIXED SIGNALS' but showing a 'RISING' trend. Factor analysis reveals: momentum not yet aligned (-4 points as price just reversed), position slightly favorable (+4 points already +0.2R), volume adequate (+2), HTF showing weak alignment (+2 as we're counter-trend), stop well-placed (+3), but targets still distant (0 points). Notice how the Main Dashboard switches from market scanning mode to active trade tracking, now displaying entry price, live P/L in both points (5.95 pts) and R-multiples (+0.2R), and distances to all key levels. The analysis panel provides real-time factor scoring to help monitor trade health. SCREENSHOT 3: TP1 Hit - Trade Performing Well (Image 3) Time: ~14:20 UTC+5:30(approx) Price: ~26,154 (TP1 zone) Bars in Trade: 29 Main Dashboard (Top Right): - Trade: SHORT - Entry: 26184.65 - P/L: 30.85 pts | +1.12R (excellent progress) - TP1: HIT (displayed in green) - TP2: 26129.35 (24.44 pts away) - Stop: 26212.30 (58.5 pts away - well protected) - Bars: 29 Trade Analysis Panel (Bottom Left): - Header: TRADE ANALYSIS - Status Bar: "Multiple factors positive" - Confidence: 78% RISING - Factor Breakdown: - Momentum: +8 = (ALIGNED) - Position: +8 + (strong profit zone) - Volume: +2 + (continued support) - HTF Align: +8 = (now strongly aligned) - Target: +10 + (TP1 achieved, approaching TP2) - Stop Dist: +3 + (excellent cushion) - Bottom Status: "Multiple factors positive" - Visual State: Green background (FACTORS ALIGNED state) Description: Trade Execution Phase - First Target Achieved: After 29 bars , price reaches the first take-profit target at 26,157.00. The ' ' marker confirms partial profit taking. Current P/L shows +30.85 points (+1.12R), exceeding the initial 1:1 risk-reward. The Trade Analysis Panel shows dramatic improvement - confidence has surged to 78% (FACTORS ALIGNED state) with most factors now positive: - Momentum factor improved to +8 (velocity aligned with trade direction) - Position factor at +8 (over +1R profit zone) - HTF Align jumped to +8 (higher timeframe now confirming the move) - Target factor maxed at +10 (TP1 achieved, TP2 within reach) - Stop Distance at +3 (58.5 points cushion providing safety) Notice the panel status displays 'Multiple factors positive' with a green-tinted background, indicating optimal trade conditions. The confidence trend shows 'RISING' suggesting continued momentum. With TP1 secured and only 24.44 points to TP2, the trade is well-positioned for a full 1:2R win. SCREENSHOT 4: TP2 Reached - Trade Complete (Image 4) Time: ~15:00+ UTC+5:30 Final Exit: 26,129.35 (TP2) Final Result: Full TP2 win Main Dashboard (Top Right): - Bias: NEUTRAL (reverted to scanning mode) - Pulse: 45.2 (returned to neutral zone) - Volatility: NORMAL - Trend: TREND DOWN (confirmed the move) - Session: LONDON - Volume: 1.26x (increased as move developed) - HTF: BEARISH (fully aligned post-trade) - Best Score: 5/5 (neutral after completion) Trade Analysis Panel (Bottom Left): - Status: NO ACTIVE TRADE (reverted) - Long Score: 5/5 (RDY) - Short Score: 5/5 (RDY) - Panel Message: "Scanning - prime session active" - Light blue/cyan background (back to scanning mode) Description: Trade Completion - Full Target Achieved: The short trade reaches its second take-profit target at 26,129.35, securing a complete 1:2 risk-reward win. The ' ' marker confirms the exit. Final results: - Entry: 26,184.65 - Exit: 26,129.35 - Profit: 55.30 points (approximately +2.0R) - Outcome: Full TP2 success Post-Trade Analysis: After trade closure, the indicator automatically returns to market scanning mode. The Main Dashboard reverts to showing market conditions rather than trade metrics. Notice how the 'Trend' now displays 'TREND DOWN' - confirming the move we captured. Volume increased to 1.26x during the winning move, validating the signal quality. The Trade Analysis Panel switches back to 'NO ACTIVE TRADE' status and resumes displaying long/short setup scores. The confidence-based factor monitoring was instrumental throughout the trade: - Initial entry at 57% confidence (MIXED SIGNALS) - Peak confidence of 78% at TP1 (FACTORS ALIGNED) - Real-time factor updates helped confirm trade validity This example demonstrates the indicator's complete workflow: setup identification → signal generation → entry execution → live trade monitoring → systematic exit at targets. KEY FEATURES DEMONSTRATED 1. Dual Dashboard System - Main Dashboard: Market conditions (scanning) → Trade metrics (active position) - Analysis Panel: Setup scores (scanning) → Factor-based confidence (in-trade) 2. Visual Trade Management - Color-coded entry zones (yellow) - Risk levels clearly marked (red dashed stop) - Profit targets with R:R ratios labeled - Achievement markers ( , ) 3. Real-Time Factor Analysis - 6-factor scoring system (Momentum, Position, Volume, HTF, Target, Stop Dist) - Confidence percentage with trend indicators - State machine (MIXED → FACTORS ALIGNED) - Hysteresis prevents false state changes 4. Risk Management - Structure-based stop placement (respects swing highs) - Multiple take-profit levels (1:1 and 1:2 R:R) - Live P/L tracking in points and R-multiples - Distance monitoring to all key levels This complete example showcases the indicator's progression from setup identification through trade completion, demonstrating how the dual-dashboard system and factor-based analysis provide continuous trade guidance. The structured stop-loss and dual-target approach delivered the planned 1:2 risk-reward ratio with systematic, rule-based execution. ALERT SYSTEM The indicator includes 9 built-in alert conditions: SIGNAL ALERTS: → High-Grade Long Signal (A+) • Triggers only on A+ long signals • For traders who want only the highest-quality longs • Message: "KINETIC SCALPER: LONG @ " → High-Grade Short Signal (A+) • Triggers only on A+ short signals • For traders who want only the highest-quality shorts • Message: "KINETIC SCALPER: SHORT @ " → Long Signal • Triggers on ANY qualified long signal (A+, A, or B) • For traders who want all long opportunities • Message: "KINETIC SCALPER: LONG @ " → Short Signal • Triggers on ANY qualified short signal • For traders who want all short opportunities • Message: "KINETIC SCALPER: SHORT @ " TRADE MANAGEMENT ALERTS: → TP1 Hit • Triggers when first profit target is reached • Useful for partial profit taking notifications • Message: "KINETIC SCALPER: TP1 REACHED" → TP2 Reached • Triggers when second profit target is reached • Trade is complete, full win achieved • Message: "KINETIC SCALPER: TP2 REACHED" → Stop Loss Hit • Triggers when stop loss is reached • Important for trade management and risk tracking • Message: "KINETIC SCALPER: STOP LOSS" ANALYSIS STATE ALERTS: → Analysis State: Negative Bias • Triggers when factor analysis enters "Negative Bias" state • Warning that trade conditions are deteriorating • Consider reducing position or preparing to exit • Message: "KINETIC SCALPER: Analysis state changed to NEGATIVE BIAS" → Analysis State: Factors Weakening • Triggers when factor analysis enters "Factors Weakening" state • Caution that confluence is diminishing • Monitor trade closely • Message: "KINETIC SCALPER: Analysis state changed to FACTORS WEAKENING" HOW TO SET UP ALERTS: 1. Click the "Create Alert" button in TradingView 2. Condition: Select "Kinetic Scalper " 3. Choose your desired alert from the dropdown 4. Configure your alert options: → Once Per Bar Close (recommended for non-repainting) → Frequency: Once Per Bar Close or Only Once 5. Set expiration and notification methods (popup, email, webhook, etc.) 6. Create alert RECOMMENDED ALERT STRATEGY: For active traders: → Set "Long Signal" and "Short Signal" alerts for all opportunities → Set "TP1 Hit", "TP2 Reached", and "Stop Loss Hit" for trade management → Consider "Analysis State: Negative Bias" for trade monitoring For selective traders: → Set only "High-Grade Long Signal (A+)" and "High-Grade Short Signal (A+)" → Focus on the absolute highest-quality setups → Set TP/SL alerts for position management USAGE TIPS & BEST PRACTICES SIGNAL SELECTION: ✓ GRADE MATTERS → A+ signals have statistically more confluence factors → If you're conservative, trade only A+ signals → B signals can work but require more discretion ✓ CONFLUENCE WITH YOUR ANALYSIS → Use this indicator as CONFIRMATION, not sole decision criteria → Combine with your own support/resistance analysis → Check for fundamental events (news, economic data) → Respect major round numbers and psychological levels ✓ SESSION TIMING (Forex) → Best signals often occur during London/NY overlap → Avoid signals 10 minutes before major news releases → Asian session signals can be valid but lower liquidity ✓ TIMEFRAME CONFLUENCE → If you get an A+ signal on 15m, check if 1H chart agrees → Higher timeframe confirmation adds conviction → Avoid signals that oppose the daily/4H trend TRADE MANAGEMENT: ✓ POSITION SIZING → ALWAYS size positions so stop loss = 1-2% of account → Never risk more than you can afford to lose → Smaller position on B signals, standard on A, larger on A+ (within limits) ✓ PARTIAL PROFIT TAKING → Consider taking 50% off at TP1 → Move stop to breakeven after TP1 hit → Let remaining position run to TP2 ✓ TRAILING STOPS → The indicator doesn't auto-trail stops (manual decision) → After TP1, you might manually move stop to entry (breakeven) → Consider ATR-based trailing stop for runners ✓ WATCH THE ANALYSIS PANEL → If state changes to "Factors Weakening" while in profit, consider exit → "Negative Bias" during a trade is a strong warning → "Factors Aligned" confirms your trade thesis is still valid RISK MANAGEMENT: ✓ NEVER IGNORE STOPS → The calculated stop is there for a reason → Moving stop further away increases risk exponentially → If stopped out, accept it and wait for next setup ✓ AVOID REVENGE TRADING → If you get stopped out, resist urge to immediately re-enter → Signal cooldown helps with this → Wait for next qualified signal ✓ RESPECT VOLATILITY WARNINGS → If indicator shows "EXTREME" volatility, signals are blocked for a reason → Don't force trades in chaotic conditions → Wait for regime to normalize ✓ CORRELATION RISK → Be aware of correlation if trading multiple pairs → EUR/USD and GBP/USD are highly correlated → Don't stack risk on correlated instruments OPTIMIZATION: ✓ START WITH DEFAULTS → Default settings are well-tested → Don't over-optimize for recent market behavior → Give settings at least 20-30 trades before judging ✓ TIMEFRAME-SPECIFIC ADJUSTMENTS → Lower timeframes: Consider increasing Signal Distance to 3.0-4.0 → Higher timeframes: ATR Stop Multiplier might go to 2.0-2.5 → Crypto: Ensure Instrument Type is set to "Crypto" for proper stops ✓ SENSITIVITY CALIBRATION → Too many signals? Switch to Conservative → Missing good setups? Try Balanced or Aggressive → Quality > Quantity always ✓ KEEP A JOURNAL → Track which signal grades work best for you → Note which sessions produce best results → Review stopped trades for patterns THINGS TO AVOID: ✗ DON'T chase signals after several bars have passed ✗ DON'T ignore the stop loss or move it further away ✗ DON'T overtrade by taking every B-grade signal ✗ DON'T trade during major news if you're not experienced ✗ DON'T use this as your only analysis tool ✗ DON'T expect 100% win rate (no indicator has this) ✗ DON'T risk more than 1-2% per trade regardless of signal grade UNDERSTANDING THE METHODOLOGY WHY VOLUME WEIGHTING? Traditional momentum oscillators treat all price moves equally. A 10-point move on low volume is weighted the same as a 10-point move on high volume. The Kinetic Pulse corrects this by: → Calculating volume ratio vs. 20-bar average → Applying square root transformation to volume ratio (prevents extreme weights) → Multiplying price changes by volume weight → Result: High-volume moves influence the oscillator more than low-volume noise This helps filter false breakouts and emphasizes moves with participation. WHY FISHER TRANSFORM? Fisher Transform is a mathematical transformation that: → Normalizes probability distributions → Creates sharper turning points → Amplifies extremes while compressing the middle → Makes overbought/oversold levels more distinct Applied to the Kinetic Pulse, it helps identify genuine extremes vs. noise. WHY MULTI-OSCILLATOR DIVERGENCE? Single-source divergence can give false signals. By requiring divergence confirmation across multiple oscillators (Kinetic Pulse, CCI, Stochastic), the system filters out: → Divergences caused by calculation quirks in one oscillator → Temporary momentum anomalies → False divergence on noisy, low-timeframe charts Multiple sources confirming the same pattern increases reliability. WHY ADAPTIVE PERIODS? Fixed periods can be: → Too slow during high volatility (miss fast reversals) → Too fast during low volatility (generate noise) The adaptive system: → Shortens period when ATR ratio > 1.3 (high volatility = need faster response) → Lengthens period when ATR ratio < 0.7 (low volatility = need noise filtering) → Keeps period in reasonable range (60% to 140% of base period) → Result: Oscillator adjusts to current market pace automatically WHY HYSTERESIS IN STATE MACHINE? Without hysteresis, the analysis state would flip-flop on every bar, creating: → Confusing, contradictory guidance → Analysis paralysis → Lack of actionable information Hysteresis solves this by: → Using different thresholds to ENTER vs. EXIT a state → Example: Enter "Factors Aligned" at 72+ confidence, but don't exit until <62 → This creates stable states that persist through minor fluctuations → Requires minimum commitment period (3 bars) before state changes → Overrides commitment for significant events (near TP/SL) → Result: Stable, trustworthy analysis that changes only when truly warranted WHY CONFIDENCE SMOOTHING? Raw factor scores fluctuate bar-by-bar based on momentary conditions. Smoothing: → Uses 5-period EMA on raw confidence scores → Filters out single-bar anomalies → Preserves genuine trends in confidence → Prevents false state transitions → Result: More reliable assessment of actual trade health WHY INSTRUMENT-SPECIFIC PARAMETERS? Different instruments have different characteristics: → Forex is highly liquid, respects technical levels well, standard ATR works → Crypto is extremely volatile, needs wider stops (1.8x) to avoid false stops → Indices respect session opens strongly, session weighting is important → Commodities fall in between Auto-detection applies research-based multipliers automatically. WHY STRUCTURE-BASED STOPS? ATR-based stops can: → Place stop in middle of consolidation (easily hit) → Ignore obvious invalidation levels → Be too tight during expansion or too wide during contraction Structure-based stops: → Use actual swing highs/lows (where traders actually place stops) → Add small ATR buffer to avoid stop hunting → Constrain within min/max ATR limits for safety → Result: Stops that respect market geometry while managing risk DISCLAIMER & RISK WARNING READ THIS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS INDICATOR This indicator is provided for EDUCATIONAL and INFORMATIONAL purposes only. ❌ NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE This indicator does NOT constitute financial advice, investment recommendations, or solicitation to buy or sell any financial instrument.

VWAP Wave System ToolkitGENERAL OVERVIEW: The VWAP Wave System Toolkit is an all-in-one trading indicator based on rules from Auction Market Theory. The indicator is built around Volume-Weighted Average Prices (VWAP), Initial Balance (IB) levels, session/composite volume profiles, low-volume zones, optional candle coloring, trade checklists, dashboard readings, and a watermark. This indicator was developed by Flux Charts in collaboration with Chris Drysdale (Trader Drysdale), author of the best-selling book VWAP Wave System. What’s the purpose of this indicator? The VWAP Wave System Toolkit helps traders see where market value is forming, shifting, or being rejected across different timeframes. It’s built on the ideas of Auction Market Theory, which views the market as a continuous auction between buyers and sellers searching for fair value. The indicator combines VWAPs, Initial Balance levels, and volume profiles into one system that shows how price interacts with value throughout the day, week, and month. By combining short-term and higher-timeframe data, it helps traders understand when the market is balanced and when it’s starting to discover new price areas. What’s the theory behind this indicator? This indicator is built on Auction Market Theory, introduced by J. Peter Steidlmayer. The theory says that markets operate as continuous auctions, constantly seeking a fair price where buyers and sellers agree on value. When price stays within a narrow range and volume builds up, the market is balanced around a value area. When price moves away from that area, the market enters price discovery, searching for a new zone of balance. VWAPs represent an evolving measure of value, while Volume Profiles and Initial Balance visualize how the auction developed during each session. Low Volume Zones often show where the market moved too quickly to trade efficiently, making them potential areas of interest for future reactions. By combining these elements, the indicator provides a picture of how the market is auctioning and where value may shift next. VWAP WAVE SYSTEM TOOLKIT FEATURES: The VWAP Wave System Toolkit indicator includes 7 main features: Initial Balance Levels Multi-Timeframe VWAPs Session Volume Profile Composite Volume Profile Low Volume Zones Checklist Watermark Initial Balance Levels: 🔹What is the Initial Balance? The Initial Balance (IB) is defined by the high and low prices that form within a specific time window. Typically, this time window is the first hour after the regular day trading session starts (09:30 - 10:30 AM EST). The high and low formed during this window create the foundation for the day’s price structure. From these two points, the indicator automatically calculates several key reference levels that show how far price has extended beyond the initial range or where it may still be balanced. Understanding how these levels are derived and how to interpret them is essential to using the Initial Balance effectively. 🔹How Initial Balance Levels are calculated: Once the IB window closes, the indicator plots a full set of reference levels derived from the IB range. These levels are: IB High IB Low IB Midpoint x2 High / x2 Low x2 Midpoints (x1.5 High/Low) x3 High / x3 Low x3 Midpoints (x2.5 High/Low) 🔹IB High & IB Low The IB High is the highest price reached during the IB session window, and the IB Low is the lowest price reached. 🔹IB Midpoint The IB Midpoint is the average of the IB High and IB Low. 🔹x2 High & x2 Low The x2 levels are calculated by projecting one full IB Range above and below the Initial Balance. The IB Range is the distance between the IB High and IB Low. 🔹x2 High Midpoint & x2 Low Midpoint The x2 High Midpoint (x1.5 High) is the average of the IB High and x2 High. The x2 Low Midpoint (x1.5 Low) is the average of the IB Low and x2 Low. 🔹x3 High & x3 Low The x3 High/Low levels are calculated by projecting two full IB Range above and below the Initial Balance. 🔹x3 High Midpoint & x3 Low Midpoint The x3 High Midpoint (x2.5 High) is the average of the x2 High and x3 High. The x3 Low Midpoint (x2.5 Low) is the average of the x2 Low and x3 Low. 🔹Breaks & Retests: For every Initial Balance level, the indicator automatically tracks when price retests or breaks through them. A Break occurs when a candle closes above or below an IB level. When this happens, the indicator plots a small blue triangle. A Retest occurs when price approaches and touches an IB Level, and then reverses in the opposite direction. When this happens, the indicator plots a small green or red triangle. Green Triangle: Bullish Retest - Price comes down to a level, touches it, and continues up. Red Triangle: Bearish Retest - Price comes up to a level, touches it, and continues down. Both breaks and retests are plotted directly on the chart for every toggled IB level. Once detected, they remain fixed and are not repainted. Other Settings: 🔹Shade IB Range When enabled, this setting fills the area between the IB High and IB Low (IB Range). The fill helps visually separate the Initial Balance range from the rest of the session, making it easier to identify when price is trading inside or outside of the IB. The color and opacity can also be adjusted through the settings. 🔹Apply One Color When this setting is enabled, all toggled IB levels use the same color instead of the user’s inputted colors. 🔹Levels Labels When enabled, text labels that identify each IB level (for example, “IB High,” “x2 High,” or “x2.5 Low”) appear next to each level. 🔹Price Labels When enabled, the indicator displays the real-time price value of each IB level directly on the chart. These labels update automatically as price changes or when the levels shift due to recalculation from a new session. 🔹Extend Levels Right When enabled, all toggled IB Levels will be extended infinitely to the right of the chart. 🔹Align Text Right This setting aligns all level and price labels to the right edge of the plotted line. When disabled, text labels will be aligned to the left edge of each level. Multi-Timeframe VWAPs: 🔹Why does this indicator include VWAPs? This indicator includes VWAPs because they show where the most trading activity has occurred within each timeframe, helping identify the market’s fair value area. According to Auction Market Theory, price moves between periods of balance and imbalance as buyers and sellers seek fair value. VWAPs represent those balance points where the majority of trading has taken place. By plotting the Intraday, Weekly, and Monthly VWAPs, the indicator shows how value shifts across different timeframes and whether the market is balanced or moving toward a new area of value. 🔹Intraday VWAP The Intraday VWAP measures the average traded price for the current trading session and resets each day at market open. It shows where most of the session’s trading has taken place, acting as a real-time fair value line. When price trades near the Intraday VWAP, the market is considered balanced. When price moves far above or below it, the market is exploring new value areas. 🔹Candle Coloring: The Intraday VWAP candle coloring highlights how far price is trading from the session’s average value using the first and second standard deviation bands as visual reference zones. This feature helps users see whether price is balanced around fair value or expanding into an overextended area. When candle coloring is enabled, each candle’s color changes based on where it closes relative to the two standard deviation bands surrounding the Intraday VWAP. The first band represents one standard deviation (1.0 STD) and the second represents one and a half standard deviations (1.5 STD). If a candle closes above the upper 1.5 standard deviation band, it is colored a brighter green, showing strong movement above fair value. Candles closing between the upper 1.0 and 1.5 standard deviation bands are a lighter green, showing moderate strength. If a candle closes below the lower 1.5 standard deviation band, it is colored a brighter red, showing strong movement below fair value. Candles closing between the lower 1.0 and 1.5 standard deviation bands are a lighter red, showing moderate weakness. Candles that close within the ±1.0 standard deviation range remain their normal color, showing that price is balanced near the session’s average. Both the VWAP line and its bands can be customized in the Intraday VWAP settings. Users can adjust the VWAP line color, band colors, and fill transparency. The candle colors can also be modified. The band sizes (1.0 STD and 1.5 STD by default) can be changed through their input multipliers, allowing users to control the sensitivity of the zones. Please Note: This candle coloring applies only to the Intraday VWAP 🔹Weekly VWAP The Weekly VWAP measures the average traded price across the current trading week and resets at the start of each new week. It reflects the fair value area that has developed over multiple trading days, providing a broader view of market balance compared to the Intraday VWAP. When price stays close to the Weekly VWAP, it indicates that the week’s trading activity is balanced. When price consistently trades above or below it, the market is moving away from that balance and forming value in a new area. Standard Deviation Bands: The Weekly VWAP includes optional standard deviation bands. Users can toggle 1x and 1.5x STD bands. Users can also adjust the multipliers. Customization: All colors for the Weekly VWAP and its standard deviation bands can be changed in the indicator’s settings. Users can adjust the VWAP line color, band colors, and fill transparency. 🔹Monthly VWAP The Monthly VWAP measures the average traded price for the current month and resets on the first trading day of each new month. It provides the broadest view of value within this indicator, showing where the majority of trading has occurred during the current month. When price remains near the Monthly VWAP, it reflects long-term balance. Standard Deviation Bands: The Monthly VWAP includes optional 1x and 1.5x standard deviation bands that can be enabled or disabled. In the settings, users can adjust the standard deviation multipliers. Customization: The Monthly VWAP line, band colors, and fill transparency can all be modified in the indicator’s settings. 🔹VWAP Dashboard The VWAP Dashboard provides a quick real-time overview of how price is positioned relative to the Intraday, Weekly, and Monthly VWAPs. It is displayed directly on the chart and updates automatically with each new candle. The dashboard is divided into five labeled sections: Intraday Weekly Monthly Weekly STD Monthly STD Intraday, Weekly, and Monthly Sections: These three sections show whether price is currently trading Above or Below each VWAP. If price is above a VWAP, that section displays “Bullish” If price is below a VWAP, that section displays “Bearish” Weekly STD and Monthly STD: These sections display whether price is currently inside or outside the standard deviation bands of the Weekly and Monthly VWAPs. When price is trading within the ±1.0 standard deviation zone, the dashboard output is “Balanced Market” When price is above the upper standard deviation, price is extending up beyond the week’s or month’s fair value, and the dashboard output is “Bullish Price Discovery” When price is below the lower standard deviation, price is extending down beyond the week’s or month’s fair value, and the dashboard output is “Bearish Price Discovery” 🔹What is a Balanced Market A balanced market occurs when price is trading within the ±1.0 standard deviation range of a VWAP. This shows that buyers and sellers are in general agreement on value, and trading activity is taking place around the fair value area. In this state, price tends to rotate around the VWAP rather than trend strongly away from it. Balance reflects stability in the auction process, where neither side is dominant and value is being built at current prices. 🔹What is Bullish Price Discovery Bullish Price Discovery occurs when price trades above the upper standard deviation of a VWAP. This indicates that buyers are accepting higher prices and that value may be shifting upward. In terms of Auction Market Theory, the market is moving away from balance as it searches for a new fair value area above the prior range. 🔹What is Bearish Price Discovery Bearish Price Discovery occurs when price trades below the lower standard deviation of a VWAP. This shows that sellers are accepting lower prices and that value may be developing beneath the prior area of balance. The market is moving out of equilibrium as participants test lower prices to find new fair value. Session Volume Profile: 🔹Why this feature is included: The Session Volume Profile is included to show where trading activity occurred within each session. It visually represents the volume traded at each price, helping to identify where market participants considered value to be. This ties directly to Auction Market Theory, which views markets as auctions seeking balance between buyers and sellers. The profile highlights those balance areas and shows where volume thins out, helping distinguish between value areas and areas of rejection. 🔹How is the Session Volume Profile calculated and displayed: At the start of each selected session window, the indicator creates a new volume profile and tracks every bar in that session. For each candle, it saves the high, low, open, close, volume, and time. When the HD (High Definition) setting is enabled, and your chart is between the 1-minute and 30-minute timeframes (recommended), the indicator requests lower-timeframe data and feeds the profile with 1-minute candlesticks for more detail. The running session high and low define the vertical bounds of the volume profile. That span is split into a fixed number of rows. Each row represents a price slice. For every bar and every price row, the indicator checks whether the bar’s high-low range touches that row. If it does, it adds part of the bar’s volume to that row. The allocation uses a step-to-bar-size ratio, so that narrow bars do not overload a tall row and tall bars contribute proportionally across all rows they cross. If the bar closes above its open, that row’s “up” volume bucket is incremented. If it closes below its open, the “down” bucket is incremented. After all bars are processed, the row with the highest total becomes the Point of Control (POC). Starting from that row, the indicator expands upward and downward, adding adjacent rows until the cumulative total reaches your Value Area percentage. The upper boundary is Value Area High (VAH), and the lower boundary is Value Area Low (VAL). For rendering, each price row becomes a horizontal box drawn from the session start time to a length proportional to that row’s volume versus the session’s maximum row volume. If you choose “Up / Down” volume, the row is split into two adjoining boxes that show the up and down portions. If you choose “Total,” a single box is drawn to the total length. If you choose “Delta,” the length reflects the absolute difference between up and down. The POC is drawn as a line across the row midpoint. VAH and VAL are drawn at the exact prices of the top and bottom value rows. While a session is open the profile keeps updating as new bars form. When the session ends, the script fixes its start and end and stops changing that profile. To avoid any issues with drawing limits, the indicator only renders the two most recent session volume profiles. Settings: 🔹Enabled Turns the Session Volume Profile on or off. When disabled, no session profiles, lines, or volume boxes are displayed. 🔹HD Stands for High Definition. When enabled, the indicator requests data from the 1-minute timeframe to build a smoother, more detailed volume profile. This produces finer row distribution and more accurate POC, VAH, and VAL positioning, especially on higher chart timeframes. 🔹POC Line Toggles the visibility of the Point of Control line. The POC represents the price level with the highest traded volume in the session. It’s drawn horizontally across the chart at that price, and its color can be customized in settings. 🔹VAH Controls the display of the Value Area High line. The VAH is the top boundary of the range that contains the specified percentage of total traded volume (default 70%). It marks where volume starts to thin out above fair value. Users can turn it on or off and customize its color. 🔹VAL Controls the display of the Value Area Low line. The VAL is the lower boundary of the value area and marks where volume thins out below fair value. Its visibility and color can also be customized. 🔹Session This setting allows users to define the start and end time of the trading session used to calculate the session volume profile. Only bars within this time window are included in the volume profile. When a session ends, the volume profile locks, and a new one begins automatically when the next session begins based on the user’s input. 🔹Volume Controls how the histogram rows are displayed: Up/Down: Splits each price row into two parts: one for bullish candles (Up volume) and one for bearish candles (Down volume). This helps visualize buying versus selling pressure at each price. Total: Combines both Up and Down volume into a single-colored bar for each price level. Since direction isn’t separated, this view focuses purely on where trading activity was concentrated, regardless of which side was in control. A tall bar means strong participation and interest at that price. Delta: Displays the difference between up and down volume (Up/Down) for each row, highlighting which side controlled that price area. 🔹Value Area Volume The Value Area Volume setting defines how much of the total session volume is considered the “value area.” By default, it’s 70%, meaning the indicator finds the price range where 70% of all trading took place during that session. This area is where buyers and sellers agreed the most on price, also known as the fair value zone. If you increase the percentage (for example, to 80%), the value area becomes wider and includes more of the session’s trading range. Lowering it (for example, to 60%) makes it narrower, focusing only on the prices with the heaviest activity. 🔹Row Size The Row Size controls how detailed the volume profile looks. It decides how many price levels (rows) the profile is divided into. Smaller values make the profile smoother and easier to read but less precise. Larger values add more detail and show exactly where volume clustered, but they can make the profile look denser. The maximum value is 450 rows, and the minimum value is 5 rows. Higher values (especially above 200) can make the volume profile appear more detailed but may also cause performance issues or partial rendering on TradingView charts due to the platform’s drawing object limits. For most users, values between 50–150 give a good balance between clarity and performance. 25 Rows vs. 200 Rows: Composite Volume Profile: The Composite Volume Profile shows how volume is distributed across a larger selected range instead of just one session. It helps traders see where the most trading activity has taken place over multiple days. This gives a picture of long-term balance areas and important price zones that have repeatedly attracted buyers and sellers. The Composite Profile uses the same base logic and visual settings as the Session Volume Profile, including POC Line, VAH, VAL, Volume Type, Value Area Volume, Row Size, and Colors. Any customization applied to those settings also affects the Composite Profile, ensuring a consistent appearance across both features. 🔹Session Count Setting: This setting controls how many past sessions are merged into one composite volume profile. For example, if the Session Count is set to 5, and each session represents one trading day, the profile combines data from the last 5 trading days. A “session” refers to the time window defined in the Session Volume Profile settings. 🔹How is the Composite Volume Profile used? In Auction Market Theory, markets move through phases of balance and imbalance as traders agree on value before moving to explore new ones. The Composite Volume Profile shows where that long-term balance has formed. Large, wide areas on the profile indicate zones where multiple sessions agreed on value. Thin areas show prices that were quickly rejected, where less time and volume were traded. Combining short-term session profiles into a composite helps identify when the market is holding near established value or entering new price discovery, confirming transitions between balance and price discovery. Low Volume Zones: 🔹What are Low Volume Zones? Low Volume Zones (LVZs) are price areas where trading activity was minimal compared to surrounding levels. On a volume profile, they appear as thin “valleys” between two high-volume “peaks.” These valleys show where the market moved too quickly for significant two-way trade to occur. In Auction Market Theory, they represent inefficient areas, meaning the market didn’t find fair value, so price either skipped through or rejected those levels. 🔹How are Low Volume Zones found? The indicator identifies Low Volume Zones (LVZs) directly from Session Volume Profiles (SVPs) by analyzing the shape of its volume distribution. Each SVP is built from a series of horizontal rows, where each row represents the total traded volume within a narrow price range. The longer the row, the higher the trading activity at that price. The indicator first locates the two largest high-volume peaks on the profile. These peaks represent the strongest areas of market activity. Once these two main peaks are found, the indicator looks on both sides of each peak for the lowest-volume row in the surrounding area. Those small-volume dips define the boundaries of the Low Volume Zones. Each high-volume peak can therefore generate two LVZs (one above and one below it), resulting in a maximum of four Low Volume Zones per volume profile. If two LVZs overlap or share the same price range, they are automatically merged into a single larger zone, which may reduce the total count to three or fewer. 🔹How are Low Volume Zones used? Low Volume Zones (LVZs) mark areas where the market previously traded with little participation. In Auction Market Theory, these zones represent inefficient price areas where buyers and sellers failed to agree on value. When price returns to an LVZ, it may act as an area where price tends to react differently due to lower previous trading activity. If the market still sees that area as unfair, price will reject it and reverse quickly. If the market now accepts that price level, volume builds and price moves through it smoothly as the auction seeks new balance. Traders use LVZs to identify where price may react sharply or move quickly through thin areas. When price approaches a zone from above or below, it signals potential rejection or continuation. 🔹LVZ Breaks and Retests The indicator automatically tracks how price interacts with every detected LVZ. A Break occurs when price fully moves through the entire LVZ and closes past it. When this happens, the indicator plots a small blue triangle. A Retest occurs when price touches an LVZ and reverses away, showing rejection. When price comes down to a level, taps it, and continues up, it’s considered a bullish retest, and a small green triangle is plotted. When price comes up to a level, taps it, and continues down, it’s considered a bearish retest, and a small red triangle is plotted. 🔹LVZ Settings Enabled: Toggles LVZ detection and visualization on or off. Realtime: Allows LVZs to form dynamically as the current session develops, updating live as volume builds or thins out. When disabled, zones only appear once the session closes. Please note: When this setting is enabled, zones may update or shift while the current session is still forming. Because the Session Volume Profile is continuously recalculating with new data, both the volume distribution and detected zones can change until the session closes. Row Pivot Length: Controls how far above and below each price row the indicator looks when identifying the highest and lowest volume points that define each Low Volume Zone. Larger values make the indicator compare a wider range of rows, while smaller values keep the analysis closer to each row’s immediate area. Last SVPs: Defines how many recent Session Volume Profiles are used for LVZs. For example, setting it to 3 limits LVZ detection to the last three sessions only. Retests and Breaks: Enables or disables the display of the retest and break markers described above. Checklist: The Checklist is a manual on-chart dashboard that allows traders to keep track of specific market conditions before entering a trade. Each checklist item can be toggled on or off in the indicator’s settings. When enabled, a checkmark emoji appears next to that item on the dashboard. When disabled, an X emoji appears next to that item. This feature is designed to help traders visually confirm important steps in their process, such as reviewing trend direction, VWAP alignment, or session context. The checklist can also be repositioned anywhere on the chart using the “Location” setting for better visibility and layout preference. Watermark: The Watermark feature displays key chart information directly in the background, including the current ticker symbol, selected timeframe, and date. The watermark’s size, color, and transparency can be adjusted in the settings. UNIQUENESS: The VWAP Wave System Toolkit is unique because it brings every part of Auction Market Theory to the chart. It shows how value builds and shifts by combining Initial Balance levels, multi-timeframe VWAPs, and volume profiles. The indicator automatically marks low-volume zones where the market moved too quickly, highlights breaks and retests, and tracks how price interacts with fair value across sessions, weeks, and months. Every feature works together to give a simple view of balance, imbalance, and value development as the auction unfolds.

Troop ToolkitGENERAL OVERVIEW: The Troop Toolkit indicator by Flux Charts is an all-in-one toolkit to identify Multi-Timeframe First Fair Value Gaps, Multi-Timeframe Inversion First Fair Value Gap, Fair Value Gaps, Buyside & Sellside Liquidity Levels, SMT Divergences, EQ Ranges, Efficient Candle Ranges, and Volume Imbalances. This indicator was developed by Flux Charts, utilizing concepts taught and traded by Andrew Macre. ATTRIBUTION NOTICE: This indicator incorporates concepts and source code from the indicator “Efficient Candle Range (ECR)” authored by @Joeyheick on TradingView. We have received full written permission from the original author to use and commercialize this code within this invite-only script. Original script: Efficient Candle Range (ECR): TROOP TOOLKIT FEATURES: The Troop Toolkit indicator includes 8 main features: Multi-Timeframe First Fair Value Gaps (FFVG) Multi-Timeframe Inverse First Fair Value Gaps (IFFVGs) Fair Value Gaps (FVG) Buyside & Sellside Liquidity Levels SMT Divergences EQ Ranges (EQR) Efficient Candle Ranges (ECR) Volume Imbalances (VI) Multi-Timeframe First Fair Value Gaps (FFVG): The first feature of this indicator is Multi-Timeframe First Fair Value Gaps (FFVG). These are the first Fair Value Gaps (FVG) that form after a swing high or low is created. 🔹What is a Fair Value Gap?: To properly understand First Fair Value Gaps (FFVGs), you must understand what a Fair Value Gap (FVG) is. A FVG is an area where the market’s perception of fair value suddenly changes. On your chart, it appears as a three-candle pattern: a large candle in the middle, with smaller candles on each side that don’t fully overlap it. A bullish FVG forms when a bullish candle is between two smaller bullish/bearish candles, where the first and third candles’ wicks don’t overlap each other at all. A bearish FVG forms when a bearish candle is between two smaller bullish/bearish candles, where the first and third candles’ wicks don’t overlap each other at all. Examples of Bullish & Bearish FVGs: 🔹Why are Fair Value Gaps important?: Fair Value Gaps show where price moved so quickly that one side of the market never got a chance to trade. They represent sudden shifts in what traders believe something is worth, where “fair value” changed. When a large candle drives straight through an area without overlap from the candles before and after it, it means buyers or sellers were so aggressive that the market skipped that price zone entirely. These gaps matter because they mark the moment when confidence in price changes. If price rallies and never pulls back, it signals that traders accept the new higher prices as fair and are willing to keep buying there. The same logic applies in reverse for bearish gaps. They tell you where the market re-priced aggressively and where value was last accepted. 🔹What is a First Fair Value Gap?: A First Fair Value Gap is the very first fair value gap that forms immediately after a new swing high or swing low. It marks the first sign of imbalance following a key turning point in price. When a major swing low forms, the first bullish FVG that appears afterward shows where buyers first stepped in with enough strength to shift momentum upward. When a swing high forms, the first bearish FVG that appears afterward shows where sellers first regained control. Because it’s tied directly to a confirmed swing point, an FFVG carries more weight than a regular FVG that forms randomly in the middle of a large move. It identifies where a new phase of price delivery begins, which is the first sign that the market is repricing after completing a prior leg. 🔹How are First Fair Value Gaps Detected?: The indicator identifies First Fair Value Gaps (FFVGs) by starting with a swing high or swing low, which is detected using the 5-minute timeframe. A swing high is formed when a candle’s high is higher than the two candles before and after it. A swing low is formed when a candle’s low is lower than the two candles before and after it. Each time a new swing high or low is confirmed, the indicator marks that area as a “pivot.” From that moment, the script begins looking for the first valid Fair Value Gap that forms after that swing. To identify a First Fair Value Gap (FFVG), you should first identify a swing high and swing low. These are the most recent highest and lowest areas price reached. A bullish FFVG is the first bullish FVG that forms after a swing low. A bearish FFVG is the first bearish FVG that forms after a swing high. This indicator automatically detects bullish and bearish FFVGs across the 1-minute, 2-minute, 3-minute, 4-minute, and 5-minute timeframes simultaneously. You will only be able to view FFVGs from timeframes that are equal to or less than your chart’s timeframe. For example, if you are using a 3-minute chart, you’ll only be able to view 1-minute, 2-minute, and 3-minute FFVGs, but not 4-minute or 5-minute FFVGs. In the indicator settings, under the “FFVGs” section, you can toggle on/off which timeframes are used for FFVG detections. The following settings correspond to the following timeframes: 1 → 1-minute timeframe 2 → 2-minute timeframe 3 → 3-minute timeframe 4 → 4-minute timeframe 5 → 5-minute timeframe In this screenshot, the chart timeframe is set to the 5-minute, and all the FFVG timeframes are enabled in the settings. Thus, 1-minute, 2-minute, 3-minute, 4-minute, and 5-minute FFVGs will be displayed on the chart. The ‘Sweep Proximity’ setting determines how soon after a swing high/low the indicator will show the First Fair Value Gap. After a high/low forms, the indicator looks for the very first gap that forms and shows it, but only if it appears within the number of bars you choose. This distance is measured using your current chart timeframe. For example, on a 1-minute chart, a value of 6 means the FFVG must form within 6 bars (6 minutes) after the high/low is detected. Smaller values show only the most immediate FFVGs after a high/low forms. Larger values allow FFVGs to be detected farther away from the high/low, which may display more zones but can increase chart clutter. The default value is 6. Users can also customize how FFVG zones appear. The settings let you change the color and transparency of bullish and bearish FFVGs, turn the midline on or off, and enable or disable FFVG labels. When labels are enabled, they show the timeframe the FFVG came from, making it easy to identify whether it was detected on the 1m, 2m, 3m, 4m, or 5m chart. Multi-Timeframe Inversion First Fair Value Gaps (IFFVG): The second feature of this indicator is Multi-Timeframe Inversion First Fair Value Gaps (IFFVG). These form when a FFVG is invalidated by a candle close on the 5-minute timeframe. Bullish IFFVG: A bullish IFFVG forms when a 5-minute candle closes above a bearish FFVG, invalidating it. Bearish IFFVG: A bearish IFFVG forms when a 5-minute candle closes below a bearish FFVG, invalidating it. The IFFVGs will be displayed from all the timeframes that are enabled for FFVGs. For example, if only the 1-minute, 2-minute, and 3-minute FFVGs are enabled, then only IFFVGs from the 1-minute, 2-minute, and 3-minute timeframes will be displayed. Users can also customize how IFFVG zones appear. The settings allow you to change the color and transparency of bullish and bearish IFFVGs, adjust the color of IFFVG borders, the thickness of the borders, turn the midline on or off, and enable or disable IFFVG labels. When labels are enabled, they show the timeframe the IFFVG came from, making it easy to identify whether it was detected on the 1m, 2m, 3m, 4m, or 5m chart. Fair Value Gaps (FVG): The indicator automatically detects regular bullish and bearish Fair Value Gaps (FVG). However, the indicator only plots FVGs that are NOT First Fair Value Gaps. This prevents FVGs and FFVGs from overlapping each other. There is no style customization for Fair Value Gaps. Users can only toggle them on or off through the indicator settings. Liquidity Levels: The indicator automatically plots Buyside & Sellside liquidity levels using user-specific session highs/lows and swing highs/lows. Sessions used and their time periods (in EST): Asia Session (20:00 - 00:00) London Session (02:00 - 05:00) NY AM Session (09:30 - 11:00) NY PM Session (14:00 - 16:00) All highs/lows that have not been ‘swept’, meaning price never crosses above (for highs) or below (for lows), will remain plotted on the chart. After a level is swept, it will become gray. Swing Highs/Lows are plotted using the color selected from the ‘Colors’ setting under the ‘Liquidity Levels’ section. These levels are plotted with the following labels “ SSL” for lows and “ BSL” for highs. For example, “5M SSL” would be a 5-minute low. The Asia Session Highs/Lows are plotted yellow with the following labels “Asia Low” & “Asia High” The London Session Highs/Lows are plotted green with the following labels “London Low” & “London High” The NY AM Session Highs/Lows are plotted orange with the following labels “NY AM Low” & “NY AM High” The NY PM Session Highs/Lows are plotted blue with the following labels “NY PM Low” & “NY PM High” Users can toggle these levels on/off, toggle session highs/lows on/off, toggle text labels on/off, and customize the colors used for swing highs/lows. SMT Divergence: This indicator automatically highlights SMT Divergences that occur between the current selected chart ticker and a second user-selected ticker. A SMT Divergence forms when the prices of the currently selected chart ticker and the user-selected ticker don’t follow each other. For example, if the current chart’s ticker symbol is SEED_ALEXDRAYM_SHORTINTEREST2:NQ and the user-selected ticker is $ES. If SEED_ALEXDRAYM_SHORTINTEREST2:NQ does not sweep the low of the NY AM Session, but NYSE:ES sweeps that same exact session’s low during the same candle, then a SMT Divergence is detected. In the images below, SEED_ALEXDRAYM_SHORTINTEREST2:NQ and NYSE:ES form a low at 10:45 AM on August 27th. At 11:30 AM, the 10:45 AM low is taken out on $NQ. However, on NYSE:ES , price failed to take out this exact low at 11:30 AM. Thus, an SMT Divergence is detected, and a bubble is plotted on the SEED_ALEXDRAYM_SHORTINTEREST2:NQ chart. NYSE:ES Chart: SEED_ALEXDRAYM_SHORTINTEREST2:NQ Chart: When hovering over the SMT Divergence bubble, a textbox will appear which includes more information about the current SMT Divergence. These text boxes can include one of the following messages: $TICKER failed high/low $TICKER took high/low $TICKER failed high/low $TICKER took high/low “$TICKER failed high/low” and “$TICKER failed high/low”: This textbox message occurs when the chart’s symbol creates a new high/low after a high/low formed, but the user-selected ticker fails to create a new higher high or lower low (similar to the SEED_ALEXDRAYM_SHORTINTEREST2:NQ and NYSE:ES example images above). “$TICKER took high/low” and “$TICKER took high/low”: This textbox image occurs when the user-selected ticker creates a new higher high / lower low after a high/low formed, but the chart’s ticker fails to create a new higher high or lower low. The indicator uses the levels described above in the ‘Liquidity Levels’ section to detect SMT Divergences. This includes all the session highs/lows and swing highs/lows. Users can toggle on/off SMT Divergences through the settings. They can also change the ticker used for detections. Since SMT Divergences occur by comparing two tickers, the inputted ticker within the settings will always be compared to the current selected ticker on your chart. Users can also adjust the colors used for SMT Divergence bubbles at highs and lows. By default, green bubbles appear when an SMT Divergence occurs from a low, and red bubbles appear when an SMT Divergence occurs from a high. EQ Range: The EQ Range shows you where price is finding fair value during the New York session. It does this by comparing two VWAP levels: one influenced by global trading and one driven by New York session volume. When both are available, it plots a live zone between them. This zone updates every bar and extends to the right, so you can see where price may consolidate, stall, or snap back toward during the New York session. The EQ Range only appears during the New York session. Within the indicator settings, users can toggle the EQ Range zone on/off. Efficient Candle Range: Efficient Candle Ranges (ECR) mark areas where the market is moving smoothly without one side (buyers or sellers) moving price aggressively. An “efficient candle” is simply a candle where the body is small compared to the whole candle and the wicks are fairly similar in size. That means buyers and sellers both participated, and price wasn’t pushed too far in either direction. When one of these candles forms, the indicator creates a zone using its high and low. If more efficient candles appear in a row, the zone can widen to include any new highs or lows they create. The box continues to extend forward as long as price stays inside it. If price closes outside the top or bottom of the box, the zone is no longer active and visually fades out. While active, it shows where the market is moving in a controlled way, which typically leads to pauses, retests, or a strong move once price breaks out of the range. Within the indicator settings, users can customize the active ECR zone color, inactive ECR zone colors, and the text color for ECR labels. ECRs can be toggled on/off as well. Volume Imbalance: A Volume Imbalance forms when one candle does not properly overlap the trading range of the previous candle. For example, if a bullish candle opens above the previous candle’s close and price did not trade back down into that gap, there was no two-way trade in that price region. That means sellers never had a chance to transact there. The same applies in reverse for bearish moves. When that happens, there is a “missing volume” zone between the two candles because one side of the auction was skipped. When the indicator detects that kind of gap, where the open and close relationship between two candles leaves untraded space, it marks that area with a box labeled “VI.” A bullish volume imbalance means buyers pushed through a level without sellers trading back into it. A bearish volume imbalance means sellers drove price lower without buyers filling in behind them. Once price has fully filled the gap, meaning it traded back between the area that was skipped, the gap is deemed as inactive and removed from the chart. In the settings, users can toggle on/off Volume Imbalances and also adjust the colors for Bullish VIs and Bearish VIs. Important Notes: TradingView has limitations when running features on multiple timeframes, such as FFVGs and IFFVGs, which can result in the following restriction: Computation Error: The computation of using MTF features is very intensive on TradingView. This can sometimes cause calculation timeouts. When this occurs, simply force the recalculation by modifying one indicator’s settings or by removing the indicator and adding it to your chart again. UNIQUENESS: The Troop Toolkit indicator solves a major workflow problem that has never been automated before on TradingView. The most important piece: automatic detection of First Fair Value Gaps (FFVGs) and their proper conversion into Inversion First Fair Value Gaps (IFFVGs). These two concepts require strict rules, swing validation, multi-timeframe comparison, and invalidation logic that traders can currently only do manually. There is no other indicator on TradingView that handles FFVG + IFFVG logic correctly across multiple intraday timeframes at once. Before this tool was created, traders had to manually scan five different timeframes every day and track every first fair value gap that formed after a significant high/low was formed. This took hours each week and was prone to inconsistencies. Troop Toolkit automates the entire process with clear validation rules, making this the first indicator to fully operationalize FFVG + IFFVG workflow.
