ICT Entry V2 [TS_Indie]📌 Description – ICT Entry V2
The market structure, liquidity, FVG, and iFVG mechanisms remain the same as in Version 1.
However, the price action for order entries is different, with the positions of the FVG and iFVG swapped.
Pending orders and stop loss are placed at the iFVG.
⚙️ Core Logic & Working Mechanism
I won’t explain FVG in detail, as most traders are already familiar with it.
Let’s focus on the mechanism of iFVG instead.
The concept of iFVG is based on a supply-to-demand flip and a demand-to-supply flip within an FVG zone.
For an iFVG to be confirmed, the candle close must break through the FVG.
A wick alone does not count as a valid iFVG confirmation.
The confirmation of market structure swings uses a pivot length mechanism combined with price action.
It validates a swing by detecting a structure break formed by candles making new highs or new lows.
📈 Buy Setup
1.Liquidity sweep on the demand side, with price closing above the liquidity level.
2.A demand zone is formed as iFVG and FVG, where FVG is located above iFVG.
3.The gap between the upper box of iFVG and the lower box of FVG must be within the defined Min and Max range.
4.Market Structure must be in a Bullish trend.
5.Place a Pending Order at the upper box of iFVG and set Stop Loss at the lower box of iFVG (Entry and Stop Loss can be adjusted using Entry Zone and ATR-based Stop Loss).
📉 Sell Setup
1.Liquidity sweep on the supply side, with price closing below the liquidity level.
2.A supply zone is formed as iFVG and FVG, where FVG is located below iFVG.
3.The gap between the lower box of iFVG and the upper box of FVG must be within the defined Min and Max range.
4.Market Structure must be in a Bearish trend.
5.Place a Pending Order at the lower box of iFVG and set Stop Loss at the upper box of iFVG (Entry and Stop Loss can be adjusted using Entry Zone and ATR-based Stop Loss).
⚙️ Liquidity Sweep Conditions
➯ When a liquidity sweep occurs on the demand side, the system will start looking for Buy Setup conditions.
➯ When a liquidity sweep occurs on the supply side, the system will immediately switch to looking for Sell Setup conditions.
➯ The system will always prioritize the most recent liquidity sweep and search for setups based on that direction.
➯ The liquidity sweep condition will be invalidated when price closes back below (for demand sweep) or above (for supply sweep) the most recently swept liquidity level.
⭐ Pending Order Cancellation Conditions
A Pending Order will be canceled under the following conditions:
1.A new Price Action signal appears on either the Buy or Sell side.
2.When Time Session is enabled, the Pending Order is canceled once price exits the selected session.
🕹 Order Management Rule
When there is an active open position, the indicator restricts the creation of new Pending Orders to prevent overlapping positions.

eBacktesting - Learning: Power of 3eBacktesting - Learning: Power of 3 highlights ICT’s “Power of 3” intraday story:
- Accumulation: price builds a quiet range
- Manipulation: a sweep grabs liquidity above or below that range (the classic stop hunt)
- Distribution: the real move expands away from that range, often in the opposite direction of the sweep
Use it to train your eyes to recognize when price is likely “setting up” vs when the session is actually “moving,” and to build a clean daily narrative around liquidity and expansion.
These indicators are built to pair perfectly with the eBacktesting extension, where traders can practice these concepts step-by-step. Backtesting concepts visually like this is one of the fastest ways to learn, build confidence, and improve trading performance.
Educational use only. Not financial advice.
eBacktesting - Learning: InducementeBacktesting - Learning: Inducement
Inducement is the “trap” move that often shows up right before a real push. Price briefly takes an internal swing level (a small high/low), pulls traders in the wrong direction, and then snaps back — usually right before continuing toward the larger objective.
How to study it:
- First, get a simple trend bias (are we making higher highs/higher lows, or lower highs/lower lows?).
- Watch the most recent internal swing level inside that trend.
- An inducement often looks like a quick sweep through that internal level, followed by a close back on the “correct” side.
These indicators are built to pair perfectly with the eBacktesting extension, where traders can practice these concepts step-by-step. Backtesting concepts visually like this is one of the fastest ways to learn, build confidence, and improve trading performance.

eBacktesting - Learning: Order BlockseBacktesting – Learning: Order Blocks helps you spot Order Blocks on your chart in a clean, beginner-friendly way.
When price breaks structure, the indicator highlights the last opposite candle that often becomes a key reaction zone later (the Order Block). You’ll see the OB marked as a zone, and when price comes back and mitigates it (returns into the zone), that OB is removed so your chart stays uncluttered and focused on what matters now.
This indicator is built to pair perfectly with the eBacktesting extension, where traders can practice these concepts step-by-step. Backtesting concepts visually like this is one of the fastest ways to learn, build confidence, and improve trading performance.
Educational use only. Not financial advice.
eBacktesting - Learning: Change of CharactereBacktesting - Learning: Change of Character helps you spot a “Change of Character” (CHoCH) — the moment price stops behaving one way and starts behaving the other.
It does this by tracking clear swing highs and swing lows, then marking the first **candle close** that breaks structure **against** the current move:
- Bullish CHoCH: price shifts from making lower structure to breaking above a key swing high.
- Bearish CHoCH: price shifts from making higher structure to breaking below a key swing low.
Use CHoCH to practice timing: early trend shifts, reversals, and potential new legs — especially when combined with your usual confluence (liquidity, premium/discount, key levels, sessions, etc.).
These indicators are built to pair perfectly with the eBacktesting extension, where traders can practice these concepts step-by-step. Backtesting concepts visually like this is one of the fastest ways to learn, build confidence, and improve trading performance.

Breaker Blocks Finder | Gold | ProjectSyndicateProjectSyndicate Breaker Blocks Finder
📊 Overview
The ProjectSyndicate Breaker Blocks Finder (PS BB Finder) is a professional-grade Pine Script indicator designed to detect and display Bullish and Bearish Breaker Blocks based on Smart Money Concepts (SMC) methodology. This indicator is specifically optimized for XAUUSD (Gold) trading but works reliably across all symbols and timeframes.
Key Features
✅ Non-Repainting: Breaker blocks never change position after formation
✅ Multi-Timeframe Support: Optimized for M5, M10, M15, M20, M30, and H1
✅ Highly Customizable: 10+ user-configurable settings
✅ Visual Clarity: Color-coded boxes and labels for easy identification
✅ Performance Optimized: Handles 1000+ candles without lag
✅ Cross-Symbol Compatible: Works on Forex, Crypto, Stocks, Indices, and Commodities
✅ Displacement Detection: Uses ATR-based displacement to filter false signals
🎯 What are Breaker Blocks?
A Breaker Block is a failed order block that becomes a new support or resistance zone after being invalidated by price. It represents a market structure shift where institutional traders (smart money) have flipped their position.
Bullish Breaker Block
A Bullish Breaker Block forms when:
1 A bearish order block (resistance zone) exists
2 Price breaks ABOVE this zone with strong displacement
3 The former resistance zone now becomes SUPPORT
4 Price may retest this zone before continuing higher
Visual: Green box with "BB ▲" label
Bearish Breaker Block
A Bearish Breaker Block forms when:
5 A bullish order block (support zone) exists
6 Price breaks BELOW this zone with strong displacement
7 The former support zone now becomes RESISTANCE
8 Price may retest this zone before continuing lower
Visual: Red box with "BB ▼" label
⚙️ Default Settings
Setting Default Range Description
Lookback Period 1000 100-5000 Number of historical candles to analyze

🎓 How to Use
Step 1: Identify Breaker Blocks
Once the indicator is loaded, breaker blocks will automatically appear on your chart:
• Green boxes = Bullish breaker blocks (former resistance, now support)
• Red boxes = Bearish breaker blocks (former support, now resistance)
Step 2: Wait for Retest
The most reliable trading opportunities occur when price retests the breaker block zone:
• For bullish breaker blocks, wait for price to come back down to the green zone
• For bearish breaker blocks, wait for price to come back up to the red zone
Step 3: Look for Confluence
Combine breaker blocks with other SMC concepts for higher probability setups:
• Fair Value Gaps (FVG) within the breaker block zone
• Liquidity grabs before the retest
• Break of Structure (BoS) or Change of Character (ChoCH) confirmation
Step 4: Enter the Trade
Bullish Setup:
• Entry: At or near the bullish breaker block zone
• Stop Loss: Below the breaker block
• Take Profit: Previous swing high or higher
Bearish Setup:
• Entry: At or near the bearish breaker block zone
• Stop Loss: Above the breaker block
• Take Profit: Previous swing low or lower
🛡️ Non-Repainting Guarantee
This indicator is 100% non-repainting, meaning:
✅ Breaker blocks never change position after formation
✅ Historical breaker blocks remain in the exact same location indefinitely
✅ Backtesting results are reliable and consistent
🐛 Troubleshooting
Issue: No Breaker Blocks Appearing
Solutions:
• Ensure "Use Displacement Filter" is enabled.
• On M30/H1, try lowering the "Displacement Multiplier" to 1.0.
• Scroll back in history; blocks may not be present on the most recent bars.
Issue: Too Many Breaker Blocks
Solutions:
• Increase "Displacement Multiplier" to 2.5 or 3.0.
• Increase "Swing Detection Length" to 12-15.
• Decrease "Max Breaker Blocks" to 3-4.
Orion Time Matrix | ICT Macros [by AK]ORION TIME MATRIX | ICT MACRO SUITE
The Orion Time Matrix is a precision timing instrument designed to decipher the algorithmic "Heartbeat" and the timing of institutional order flow in US Index Futures markets, specifically Nasdaq (NQ) and S&P 500 (ES).
Inspired by the "Time & Price" teachings of Michael J. Huddleston (The Inner Circle Trader), this tool maps out the specific time windows where algorithms seek liquidity and price delivery is most efficient.
SMC + Dual UT Bot buy and sell AlertsThis script is a composite indicator for TradingView (Pine Script v5) that merges Smart Money Concepts (SMC) with a Dual-instance UT Bot. It has been styled with a high-contrast "Neon Cyberpunk" theme (Cyan/Pink) and is fully compliant with the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.
Here is a breakdown of its two main components:
1. Smart Money Concepts (SMC)
This portion, originally by LuxAlgo, is designed to identify institutional price levels and structural market shifts. It provides a detailed map of market structure rather than simple entry/exit signals.
Market Structure (BOS & CHoCH):
BOS (Break of Structure): Marks trend continuation (e.g., breaking a higher high in an uptrend).
CHoCH (Change of Character): Marks potential trend reversals (e.g., the first time a higher low is broken in an uptrend).
Order Blocks (OB):
Highlights specific candles where institutional buying or selling likely occurred. These act as high-probability support/resistance zones.
Neon Blue/Cyan for Bullish OBs.
Neon Pink for Bearish OBs.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG):
Identifies imbalances (gaps) in price action where the market often returns to "fill" orders.
Neon Mint for Bullish FVGs.
Neon Red for Bearish FVGs.
Premium/Discount Zones: Automatically plots the range equilibrium (50% level) to help you buy in "Discount" (low) and sell in "Premium" (high) areas.
Liquidity (EQH/EQL): Automatically detects "Equal Highs" and "Equal Lows," which are magnets for price as they represent liquidity pools (stop losses).
2. Dual UT Bot Alerts
This portion provides the actual Entry Signals. It runs two separate instances of the "UT Bot" strategy simultaneously with different sensitivity settings to filter noise.
Instance 1 (Buy Only):
Settings: Key Value = 4, ATR Period = 10 (Faster, more sensitive).
Visual: Plots a Neon Cyan "Buy" label.
Function: Looks for bullish reversals earlier to catch the start of a move.
Instance 2 (Sell Only):
Settings: Key Value = 7, ATR Period = 20 (Slower, smoother).
Visual: Plots a Neon Pink "Sell" label.
Function: Uses a wider ATR band to avoid getting shaken out of shorts too early, focusing on major downtrends.
How to Use It
The strength of this script is confluence.
Wait for a Signal: Look for a UT Bot "Buy" or "Sell" tag.
Confirm with SMC: Check if the signal aligns with SMC concepts.
Example Buy: Did the UT Bot give a "Buy" signal while price was bouncing off a Bullish Order Block?
Example Buy: Did price just sweep Liquidity (EQL) before the Buy signal?
Example Sell: Is the "Sell" signal happening inside a Premium Zone or a Bearish Fair Value Gap?

EDUVEST QQE Grade System - S/A/B/C Signal ClassificationEDUVEST QQE Grade System - S/A/B/C Signal Classification
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ ORIGINALITY
This indicator introduces a unique grading system (S/A/B/C) for QQE signals, combining traditional QQE analysis with SMC (Smart Money Concepts) price zones and trading session filters. Unlike standard QQE indicators that show all signals equally, this version classifies signals by quality to help traders focus on the highest probability setups.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ WHAT IT DOES
- Generates BUY/SELL signals with S/A/B/C grade classification
- Automatically detects asset type and applies optimized QQE factors
- Integrates SMC price zones (support/resistance) for grade enhancement
- Filters signals by trading session time
- Displays real-time session and market status
Grade Hierarchy:
- S (Gold/Orange): Signal near SMC zone + active trading hours - Highest quality
- A (Green/Red): Score 70+ during trading hours - High quality
- B (Darker): Score 50-69 during trading hours - Medium quality
- C (Gray, small): Outside trading hours or weak signal - Low quality
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ HOW IT WORKS
【QQE Core Calculation】
The QQE (Quantitative Qualitative Estimation) is calculated as:
1. RSI with configurable period (default: 14)
2. EMA smoothing of RSI (Smoothing Factor: 5)
3. Dynamic bands using Wilder's smoothing: RSI ± (ATR of RSI × QQE Factor)
QQE Factor is auto-adjusted per asset:
- USD/JPY: 4.238
- EUR/USD: 3.8
- Gold (XAU/USD): 8.0
- NASDAQ/US100: 9.0
【Signal Generation】
- BUY: QQE line crosses above its trailing stop (QQExlong == 1)
- SELL: QQE line crosses below its trailing stop (QQExshort == 1)
【Internal Scoring System】
Score components (0-100):
- Signal Base: +25 points when signal occurs
- QQE Strength: +10 to +20 based on RSI distance from 50
- Volatility: +15 (optimal ATR ratio 1.1-2.0), -10 (low volatility)
- Volume Confirmation: +10 (high volume), -5 (low volume)
- Session Bonus: +5 during London/NY sessions
- Base: +20 points
【Grade Assignment】
- Grade S: Signal near user-defined SMC price zone (within tolerance %) AND during trading hours
- Grade A: Internal score >= 70 AND during trading hours
- Grade B: Internal score >= 50 AND during trading hours
- Grade C: Outside trading hours OR score < 50
【SMC Price Zone Integration】
Users can set support/resistance levels for each asset. When price is within the tolerance percentage of these levels, signals are upgraded to S-grade, indicating confluence with institutional price levels.
【Trading Session Filter】
Configurable active trading hours (JST timezone):
- Default: 15:00 - 01:00 JST (London + NY overlap)
- Signals outside this window receive C-grade
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ HOW TO USE
【Recommended Settings】
- Timeframe: 15M, 1H, 4H
- Best on: USD/JPY, EUR/USD, Gold, NASDAQ
- Focus on: S and A grade signals
【Trading Strategy】
- S-Grade (Gold/Orange): Highest conviction - consider larger position
- A-Grade (Green/Red): Strong signal - standard position
- B-Grade: Valid but use additional confirmation
- C-Grade: Avoid or use minimal size
【Setting Up SMC Zones】
1. Identify key support/resistance on higher timeframe
2. Input prices in SMC Price Settings
3. Adjust tolerance % (default: 0.15%)
4. S-grade appears when signal occurs near these levels
【Info Panel】
Top-right panel shows:
- Asset name and detection mode (Auto/Manual)
- Current session (Tokyo/London/NY)
- Trading hours status
- SMC zone proximity
【Alert Setup】
1. Enable alerts in settings
2. Create alert with "Any alert() function call"
3. Alerts include grade, price, and session info
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ SETTINGS
Basic Settings:
- Enable Alerts: Turn on/off notifications
- Time Filter: Activate trading hour filter
- Start/End Hour: Define active trading window (JST)
QQE Settings:
- RSI Period: RSI calculation period
- RSI Smoothing: EMA smoothing factor
- Auto QQE Factor: Auto-detect optimal factor per asset
- Manual QQE Factor: Override when auto is disabled
SMC Price Settings:
- Support/Resistance levels for each asset
- Tolerance %: How close to SMC line for S-grade
Display Settings:
- Grade Only: Hide QQE lines, show only signals
- Show SMC Lines: Display support/resistance on chart
- Show Debug: Display asset detection info

Order Block Finder | Gold | ProjectSyndicate🥇 ProjectSyndicate Gold Order Block Finder
📌 Institutional Order Blocks for XAUUSD Built for Gold’s Volatility
The ProjectSyndicate Gold Order Block Finder is a professional-grade TradingView indicator engineered specifically for XAUUSD / Gold traders who want clean, high-probability institutional supply & demand zones on their chart.
Gold moves fast, sweeps liquidity often, and loves sharp displacement. This tool is tuned to match that behavior—so you can quickly spot the zones where smart money likely stepped in, and plan entries, targets, and invalidations with confidence. ✅
🚀 Why Gold Traders Like It
✅ Made for XAUUSD: Detection is tuned for Gold’s unique volatility and impulse structure
🏦 Institutional Zone Detection: Finds the last opposing candle before a true displacement + structure break
🧹 Auto-Cleanup (Mitigation): Zones automatically disappear when invalidated (no clutter)
📦 Clean Visualization: Professional OB boxes that extend into live price action
⚡ Pine Script v6: Built on the latest TradingView engine for stability and speed
🧠 Detection Logic Simple, Effective, Battle-Tested
📈 Bullish Order Block (Demand):
The last bearish candle before a strong bullish displacement that breaks market structure (BOS)
📉 Bearish Order Block (Supply):
The last bullish candle before a strong bearish displacement that breaks market structure (BOS)
💥 Displacement Filter Power Move Confirmation:
Zones are validated only when the impulse move meets a minimum strength threshold (default: 1.3× candle range)—helping filter out weak noise and low-quality blocks.
🛠 Recommended Gold Settings (XAUUSD)
Use these presets to match Gold’s typical behavior across higher-impact timeframes:
Timeframe | Swing Length | Displacement
M5 | 5–7 | 1.2 – 1.4
M10 | 5–7 | 1.2 – 1.4
M30 | 5–7 | 1.2 – 1.4
H1 | 7–9 | 1.3 – 1.6
H4 | 8–10 | 1.5 – 2.0
💡 Tip: If you want more signals, reduce Swing Length.
If you want higher quality only, increase Displacement.
✅ Best Use-Cases on Gold
🎯 Mark premium supply/demand zones without manual drawing
🧲 Wait for price to return to the OB for cleaner entries
🛡️ Use OB boundaries for clear invalidation + stop placement
📊 Combine with trend bias / liquidity sweeps / session levels for extra confirmation

---
### 5. DAILY ROUTINE (Checklist)
1. **Open TradingView:** Switch to the **15m Chart**.
2. **Check Context:** Where are we? Are we near a big Red Box (Supply) or Green Box (Demand)?
3. **Check Trend:** Is price above or below the Blue VWAP line?
4. **Wait for the Open:** Let the first hour of New York pass (to form the Yellow IB Box).
5. **Set Alerts:** Right-click the chart and set alerts for "IB Breakout" or "Golden Pocket".
6. **Execute:** Switch to the **5m Chart** to find your entry trigger (FVG).
---
### 6. RISK MANAGEMENT RULES
* **Stop Loss:** NEVER trade without one. Place it just outside the FVG box or the Zone.
* **Risk per Trade:** 1% to 2% of your account maximum.
* **No Trade Zone:** If the price is "chopping" (moving sideways) inside the Yellow IB Box, **do not trade**. Wait for a breakout.
Session Liquidity Raid ModelSession Liquidity Raid Model
This indicator helps you understand what each market session is doing with liquidity — without guessing, predicting, or over-complicating things.
It tracks the Asia, London, and New York sessions and shows you:
Where each session’s highs and lows are
Whether those levels have been taken (raided) or are still untouched
When New York is likely cleaning up liquidity left by London
The basic idea (very simple)
If London moves price strongly without taking Asia’s opposite side, New York often comes back to raid London levels first before the real move happens.
This indicator makes that process visible at a glance.
What it shows on the chart
Asia High & Low
London High & Low
Whether each level is taken or not
A simple Bullish / Bearish / Neutral session bias
Clean horizontal lines for key session levels
No buy or sell signals.
No indicators stacked on top of each other.
Just context.
How to use it
Use it to avoid bad trades, not force trades
Wait for liquidity to be taken before looking for entries
Combine it with your own price action, structure, or FVGs
If you trade CME_MINI:NQ1! , this helps you stay aligned with what New York is actually doing, instead of reacting late.
Important note
This is not a trading strategy and it does not predict the future.
It simply shows which session still owes liquidity and which one has already been cleared.
Apex ICT: Proximity & Delivery FlowSimple Description: This indicator is a specialized ICT execution tool that automates the identification of Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, and Changes in State of Delivery (CISD). Unlike standard indicators that clutter the screen, this script uses a Proximity Logic Engine to ensure you only see tradeable levels. It automatically purges old data (50-candle CISD limit) and deletes mitigated zones the moment they are breached, leaving you with a clean, institutional-grade chart.
ICT CISD+FVG+OBThis script is a high-performance ICT suite designed for traders who want a professional, "noise-free" chart. It identifies core institutional patterns—Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, and Changes in State of Delivery (CISD)—across multiple timeframes.
The script features a proprietary Proximity Cleanup Engine that automatically deletes old or broken levels, keeping your workspace focused only on price action that is currently tradeable. It strictly follows directional delivery rules for CISD and includes a 50-candle "freshness" limit to ensure you never have to manually clear old data from your past bars.
Core Features
Intelligent CISD: Only triggers Bullish CISD on green candles and Bearish CISD on red candles.
Proximity Filter: Automatically wipes away any levels that are "miles away" from the current price.
Clean Workspace: Removes broken session highs/lows and mitigated zones instantly.
Full Customization: Toggle visibility and colors for every component via the settings menu.
Killzones [Tradeuminati]Killzones is a precise TradingView indicator designed to display the most important institutional trading windows (“Killzones”) based strictly on New York local time.
The indicator focuses on accurate session timing, automatic asset classification, and stable chart behavior without affecting price scale or candle colors.
🔹 Included Killzones (NY Local Time)
London Killzone
02:00 – 05:00
New York Killzone (AM)
Indices & Index CFDs: 09:30 – 11:00
All other assets (Forex, Crypto, Commodities such as Gold, DXY): 07:00 – 10:00
New York PM Killzone
14:00 – 15:00
🔹 Asset Logic (Fully Automatic & Locked)
- Indices and Index CFDs are detected automatically
- Forex, Crypto, Commodities (e.g. Gold/XAUUSD, DXY) always use the 07:00–10:00 New York Killzone
- Stocks (Equities) are completely excluded
→ no lines, no table, no status display
This ensures the indicator is purpose-built for intraday trading in highly liquid markets and intentionally not designed for stock charts.
🔹 Chart Visualization
- Vertical session lines are drawn statically at the start of each New York trading day
- Lines are not dependent on bar timestamps
- No distortion of the price scale
- Session lines are shown only on intraday timeframes below 4H
- Line color, width, and style are fully adjustable
🔹 Status Table (Top Right)
- Clear overview of all Killzones with start and end times
- Live status indicator (green/red) based on the real current time (timenow), not the last printed candle

Liquidity Trap Detector Pro [PyraTime]The Problem: Why You Get Stopped Out
90% of retail traders place their stop-losses at obvious swing highs and lows. Institutional algorithms ("Smart Money") are programmed to push price through these levels to trigger liquidity, fill their heavy orders, and then immediately reverse the market.
If you have ever had your stop hit right before the market moves exactly where you predicted—you were the victim of a Liquidity Trap.
The Solution: Visualizing the "Stop Hunt"
Liquidity Trap Detector Pro is not just a support/resistance indicator. It is a comprehensive Reversal Scoring Engine.
Unlike standard indicators that spam signals on every wick, this tool uses a proprietary 5-Star Scoring System to analyze the quality of the trap. It validates every signal using Wick Symmetry, RSI Divergence, and Volume Analysis to separate a true reversal from a trend continuation.
Key Features (USP)
- 5-Star Scoring Engine: Every signal is rated from 1 to 5 stars. Stop guessing if a signal is valid; let the algorithm check the confluence for you.
- Glassmorphism Visuals: Gone are the messy lines. We use modern, semi-transparent "Liquidity Zones" that keep your chart clean and professional.
- Smart Terminology: Automatically identifies Bull Traps (Buyers trapped at highs) and Bear Traps (Sellers trapped at lows).
- Heads-Up Display (HUD): A professional dashboard monitors the market state, active filters, and recent trap statistics in real-time.
- Strict Non-Repainting: (Technical Note) This script uses strict non-repainting logic. All Higher Timeframe (HTF) data is confirmed and closed before a signal is generated, ensuring historical accuracy.

Tutorial: How to Trade This Indicator
1. Understanding the Signals
We use correct institutional terminology to describe the market mechanics:
GREEN Signal (BEAR TRAP):
- What happened: Price swept a Swing Low, enticing sellers (Bears) to enter. The candle then reversed and closed back inside the range, trapping those sellers.
- The Trade: This is a Bullish Reversal setup (Long).
RED Signal (BULL TRAP):
- What happened: Price swept a Swing High, enticing buyers (Bulls) to breakout. The candle reversed and closed lower, trapping the buyers.
- The Trade: This is a Bearish Reversal setup (Short).
2. The 5-Star Scoring System
Not all traps are created equal. The stars tell you how much "Confluence" exists:
- 1 Star: A basic structure sweep. Risky.
- 3 Stars: A solid setup backed by either Volume or Divergence.
- 5 Stars: The "Perfect" Trap. Structure Sweep + RSI Divergence + Volume Spike + Wick Symmetry. High Probability.
3. The Strategy
- Wait for the Zone: Watch price approach a coloured Liquidity Zone.
- Observe the Reaction: Do not trade blindly. Wait for the candle to close.
- Check the Stars: Look for at least 3 Stars before considering an entry.
- Confirm with HUD: Glance at the Dashboard to ensure the "RSI Filter" and "Vol Filter" agree with your analysis.

Settings Guide
Structure Settings:
- Pivot Lookback: Adjusts how sensitive the zones are (Default: 10/5).
- HTF Confirmation: Optional filter to only show traps that align with Higher Timeframe structure (e.g., 1H or 4H).
Quality Filters:
- RSI Divergence: Requires momentum to disagree with price (classic reversal sign).
- Volume Spike: Requires volume to be higher than average (Smart Money footprint).
Visuals:
- Clean Mode: A presenter-favorite feature. Hides all historical zones and leaves only the active setup—perfect for taking screenshots or sharing analysis.

SMC-Clean v5 [BOS + OB + FVG]SMC-Clean v5 is a clean and lightweight Smart Money Concepts indicator designed to visualize market structure, Order Blocks, and Fair Value Gaps in a clear and non-repainting way.
The indicator automatically identifies Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) using pivot-based structure logic, helping traders understand trend continuation and potential reversals. Bullish and bearish structures are clearly marked on the chart for quick visual interpretation.
It also detects Bullish and Bearish Order Blocks based on strong displacement candles filtered by ATR. Order Blocks are drawn as zones and are automatically removed once mitigated, keeping the chart clean and relevant.
Additionally, the script highlights Fair Value Gaps (FVG) using a three-candle imbalance model, filtered by minimum ATR size. These gaps can be used for pullback entries, mean reversion, and confluence with structure and Order Blocks.
SMC-Clean v5 is designed to be minimal, fast, and practical. It works on all markets and timeframes and is best used as a market structure and context tool, not as a standalone signal system. The script can be further customized and expanded into advanced SMC models.
Liquidity Sweeps [Kodexius]Liquidity Sweeps is a price action indicator built to visualize and react to common “stop run” behavior around recent swing highs and swing lows. It continuously detects pivot-based liquidity levels (recent resistance and support), extends them forward in time, and then classifies the interaction when price probes beyond a level but fails to hold through it.
The script focuses on two outcomes:
Buy-Side Liquidity Sweep (BSL): price takes liquidity above a recent swing high (high breaks above the level) but closes back at or below the level.
Sell-Side Liquidity Sweep (SSL): price takes liquidity below a recent swing low (low breaks below the level) but closes back at or above the level.
To support real trading workflows, it keeps charts readable by limiting active levels, offers clean styling options, and optionally filters sweep signals using relative volume (RVOL) so you can require participation before a sweep is considered valid.
🔹 Features
🔸 Pivot-Based Liquidity Level Detection (Swing Highs and Swing Lows)
The indicator uses a user-defined Pivot Length to identify confirmed swing points:
Pivot Highs become resistance liquidity levels (buy-side liquidity above highs).
Pivot Lows become support liquidity levels (sell-side liquidity below lows).
Each detected level is drawn as a horizontal line and automatically extended to the current bar until it is swept or broken.
🔸 Automatic Level Management (De-Cluttering)
To prevent chart overload, the script stores levels in internal arrays and enforces Maximum Active Levels:
When new levels are added and the limit is exceeded, the oldest level is removed.
This keeps only the most relevant, recent liquidity zones visible.
🔸 Clear Sweep Classification (BSL and SSL)
The sweep logic is intentionally strict and practical:
- BSL Sweep triggers when the bar’s high is above resistance but the close is back below or at resistance.
- SSL Sweep triggers when the bar’s low is below support but the close is back above or at support.
This models the “probe and reject” behavior typical of liquidity grabs.
🔸 Optional Volume Confirmation Using RVOL
When Enable Volume Filter is turned on, sweeps are only valid if the current bar’s volume is strong relative to the last 20 bars:
The script computes a 20-period volume average.
You can require volume to exceed the average by a chosen Volume Multiplier (example: 1.5 means 150% of the average).
If the filter is disabled, sweeps are evaluated purely on price conditions.
🔸 Sweep Labels and Level Highlighting
On a valid sweep:
A label is printed on the sweep bar:
- ▼ BSL for buy-side liquidity sweeps (yellow)
- ▲ SSL for sell-side liquidity sweeps (blue)
The swept level is highlighted by drawing an additional colored line over the swept range.
The script also prints the bar’s RVOL percentage near the midpoint of the swept line segment:
- BSL volume text is placed above the line midpoint
- SSL volume text is placed below the line midpoint
This makes it easy to see whether a sweep was low-effort or supported by strong participation.
🔸 Styling Controls
You can fully tailor the visual output:
Resistance and support line colors
Line style selection: Solid, Dotted, Dashed
Toggle sweep labels on or off
🔸 Alerts
The indicator exposes alert conditions for both sweep types and also fires explicit alert messages once per bar close when a sweep is confirmed:
- Buy Liquidity Sweep (BSL)
- Sell Liquidity Sweep (SSL)
🔹 Calculations
1) Pivot High / Pivot Low Detection
float ph = ta.pivothigh(high, pivotPeriodInput, pivotPeriodInput)
float pl = ta.pivotlow(low, pivotPeriodInput, pivotPeriodInput)
Interpretation:
A pivot is only confirmed after pivotPeriodInput bars have passed.
Once confirmed, the level is anchored at the pivot bar and then extended forward.
2) Creating and Storing Liquidity Levels
New Resistance (Pivot High):
if not na(ph)
line newL = line.new(bar_index , ph, bar_index, ph,
color = resistanceColorInput, width = 1, style = getLineStyle(lineStyleInput))
resistanceLevels.push(LiquidityLevel.new(ph, bar_index , newL))
if resistanceLevels.size() > maxLinesInput
(resistanceLevels.shift()).delete()
New Support (Pivot Low):
if not na(pl)
line newL = line.new(bar_index , pl, bar_index, pl,
color = supportColorInput, width = 1, style = getLineStyle(lineStyleInput))
supportLevels.push(LiquidityLevel.new(pl, bar_index , newL))
if supportLevels.size() > maxLinesInput
(supportLevels.shift()).delete()
This enforces the “Maximum Active Levels” limit by deleting the oldest stored level when the cap is exceeded.
3) Relative Volume (RVOL) and Volume Filter
float volAvg = ta.sma(volume, 20)
float volRelative = (volume / volAvg) * 100
bool isVolStrong = not useVolFilterInput or (volume > volAvg * volMultiplierInput)
volRelative expresses the sweep bar’s volume as a percentage of the last 20-bar average.
If the filter is enabled, a sweep is valid only when isVolStrong is true.
4) Sweep Conditions (Core Logic)
Buy-Side Liquidity Sweep (Resistance Sweep)
A resistance level is considered swept when price trades above it but closes back at or below it.
bool priceSwept = high > lvl.price and close <= lvl.price
bool broken = close > lvl.price
priceSwept captures the “probe and reject” behavior.
broken invalidates the level if price closes above it.
The confirmation and cleanup flow:
if priceSwept and isVolStrong
buySweepOccurred := true
if showLabelsInput
label.new(bar_index, high, "▼ BSL",
style = label.style_label_down, color = #00000000,
textcolor = C_SWEEP_BUY, size = size.small)
line.new(lvl.startBar, lvl.price, bar_index, lvl.price, color = C_SWEEP_BUY, width = 1)
int midX = math.round((lvl.startBar + bar_index) / 2)
label.new(midX, lvl.price, str.tostring(volRelative, "#") + "% VOL",
color = #00000000, textcolor = color.new(C_SWEEP_BUY, 20),
style = label.style_label_down, size = size.tiny)
resistanceLevels.remove(i).delete()
else if broken
resistanceLevels.remove(i).delete()
Sell-Side Liquidity Sweep (Support Sweep)
A support level is considered swept when price trades below it but closes back at or above it.
bool priceSwept = low < lvl.price and close >= lvl.price
bool broken = close < lvl.price
The confirmation and cleanup flow:
if priceSwept and isVolStrong
sellSweepOccurred := true
if showLabelsInput
label.new(bar_index, low, "▲ SSL",
style = label.style_label_up, color = #00000000,
textcolor = C_SWEEP_SELL, size = size.small)
line.new(lvl.startBar, lvl.price, bar_index, lvl.price, color = C_SWEEP_SELL, width = 1)
int midX = math.round((lvl.startBar + bar_index) / 2)
label.new(midX, lvl.price, str.tostring(volRelative, "#") + "% VOL",
color = #00000000, textcolor = color.new(C_SWEEP_SELL, 20),
style = label.style_label_up, size = size.tiny)
supportLevels.remove(i).delete()
else if broken
supportLevels.remove(i).delete()
5) Level Extension to Current Bar
method update(LiquidityLevel this) =>
line.set_x2(this.lineObj, bar_index)
This keeps each active liquidity level extended to the current candle until it is swept or decisively broken.
6) Alerts
alertcondition(buySweepOccurred, "Buy Liquidity Sweep", "BSL Swept!")
alertcondition(sellSweepOccurred, "Sell Liquidity Sweep", "SSL Swept!")
if buySweepOccurred
alert("Kodexius BSL Sweep: " + str.tostring(close), alert.freq_once_per_bar_close)
if sellSweepOccurred
alert("Kodexius SSL Sweep: " + str.tostring(close), alert.freq_once_per_bar_close)
Hybrid Smart Money Concepts [MarkitTick]💡This indicator provides a comprehensive technical analysis system that combines Market Structure concepts (Smart Money Concepts) with advanced Gap Analysis and a statistical Stress Model. It is designed to help traders identify trend direction, structural pivot points, potential reversal zones (Order Blocks), significant price gaps, and moments of market exhaustion.
Unlike standard ZigZag or Fractal indicators, this script integrates volume, trend maturity, and statistical volatility (Z-Score) to contextually classify price action. By overlaying these elements with a robust Market Structure engine—which identifies Change of Character (CHoCH) and Order Blocks—the tool provides a confluent view of price action.
It automates the detection of institutional footprints, allowing traders to see the structural trend, momentum drivers, and potential exhaustion points simultaneously.
● METHODOLOGY
The script operates on three distinct but complementary logic engines:
• Gap Analysis Engine
This module detects gaps between the previous high/low and the current open. It classifies them into three specific types based on volume and structural context:
Breakaway Gaps: Identified when a gap creates a breakout above a recent Pivot High or below a Pivot Low. This signals the start of a potential new trend.
Exhaustion Gaps: Identified when a gap occurs with high relative volume and meets the Trend Maturity criteria. This often signals the end of a trend.
Runaway Gaps: Standard continuation gaps that occur within a trend.
• Market Structure Engine
Swings and CHoCH: The script uses a left-and-right bar lookback to identify Pivot Highs and Lows. A Change of Character (CHoCH) is plotted when price closes beyond the most recent major pivot.
Order Blocks (OB): Upon a continuation of the trend, the script scans backward to find the extreme candle (the origin of the move) and highlights this zone as an Order Block.
Dynamic Cleanup: Gaps and Order Blocks are automatically removed (mitigated) when price aggressively crosses through their levels.
• Exhaustion & Stress Model
This statistical engine measures market "Stress" by analyzing the impact of price range relative to volume (True Range / Volume).
Calculation: It calculates a Z-Score (Standard Deviation) of this impact.
Logic: When the Z-Score exceeds a specific threshold (Sigma), it indicates a statistical anomaly or "Stress."
Signal: If high stress occurs while price is significantly above the trend baseline, it signals "Buyer Exhaustion." Conversely, high stress below the baseline signals "Seller Exhaustion."
● VISUALS & LEGEND
Before trading, you need to know what the indicator is drawing on your chart:
• Change of Character (CHoCH)
Green Dashed Line: Indicates a Bullish reversal.
Red Dashed Line: Indicates a Bearish reversal.
• Order Blocks (OB)
Green Boxes: Bullish support zones (Buy interest).
Red Boxes: Bearish resistance zones (Sell interest).
Note: Invalidated boxes are automatically deleted.
• Gaps
Blue Box (Breakaway): Strong momentum gap starting a new trend.
Orange Box (Runaway): Continuation gap.
Red Box (Exhaustion): Warning signal; trend may be ending.
• Stress Model Signals
Label "BE" (Red): Buyer Exhaustion. Suggests the bullish move is overextended relative to volume participation.
Label "SE" (Green): Seller Exhaustion. Suggests the bearish move is overextended.
● TRADING STRATEGY
You can use a "Pullback, Continuation & Exhaustion" strategy with this indicator.
• Scenario A: Long Setup (Buying)
Trend Change: Look for a CHoCH label with a Green Dashed Line.
Entry Zone: Look for a Green Order Block (OB) to form.
Confirmation: A Breakaway Gap (Blue) validates the breakout.
Entry: Enter Long when price pulls back into the Green OB.
Exit Warning: If a "BE" (Buyer Exhaustion) label appears, consider tightening stops or taking profit.
• Scenario B: Short Setup (Selling)
Trend Change: Look for a CHoCH label with a Red Dashed Line.
Entry Zone: Look for a Red Order Block (OB) to form.
Confirmation: A Breakaway Gap downwards validates the move.
Entry: Enter Short when price rallies back into the Red OB.
Exit Warning: If an "SE" (Seller Exhaustion) label appears, consider tightening stops or taking profit.

Box Theory [Interactive Zones] PyraTimeThis script combines Nicholas Darvas’s "Box Theory" with modern Supply and Demand (Premium/Discount) concepts. It automatically identifies the most recent Swing High and Swing Low to delineate the current trading range.
The purpose of this tool is to visualize market structure and help traders identify when price is relatively expensive (Premium) or cheap (Discount) within a defined range.
Visual Guide: What You Are Seeing
The Box: Represents the active trading range defined by the most recent significant Swing High and Swing Low.
Red Zone (Premium): The top 25% of the range. Mathematically, prices here are considered "expensive" relative to the current structure.
Green Zone (Discount): The bottom 25% of the range. Prices here are considered "cheap" relative to the current structure.
Grey Zone (Equilibrium): The middle 50% of the range. This is the area of fair value where price often consolidates.
Dashed Line (EQ): The exact 50% midpoint of the range.
Tutorial: How to Trade Using This Indicator
Method 1: Mean Reversion (Range Trading) This method applies when the market is moving sideways.
Identify Structure: Wait for a box to form.
Wait for Extremes: Do not trade when price is in the middle (Grey/White area). Wait for price to enter the Red or Green zones.
Entry Trigger:
Shorts: When price enters the Red Zone, look for a rejection (wicks leaving the zone) or a lower timeframe breakdown. Target the EQ (Midline) as your first take profit.
Longs: When price enters the Green Zone, look for support formation. Target the EQ (Midline) as your first take profit.
Method 2: Trend Continuation (Breakouts) This method applies when the market is trending strongly.
Breakout: Monitor the alerts. A close outside the box indicates a potential shift in market structure.
Retest: After a breakout up, the old "Red Zone" (Resistance) often flips to become new Support. Wait for price to pull back to the top of the old box before entering.
Configuration Guide (Settings)
Pivot Left/Right Bars (Sensitivity):
Default (20/20): Best for Swing Trading. It filters out market noise and only draws boxes based on major structural points.
Lower (5/5): Best for Scalping. It will create smaller, more frequent boxes but increases the risk of false signals.
Zone Percentage:
Default (25%): Standard deviation for Supply/Demand zones.
Alternative (15%): Use this for "sniping" entries at the absolute extremes of the range.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF):
Enable "Use Higher Timeframe" to see Daily or Weekly ranges while trading on lower timeframes (like the 15m or 1H). This helps keep your intraday trades aligned with the major trend.
Technical Note on "Lag" This indicator uses Pivots to draw the box. A pivot is only confirmed after a certain number of bars have passed (the "Pivot Right Bars" setting).
Example: If "Pivot Right Bars" is set to 20, the box will update 20 bars after the actual high or low occurred. This is necessary to confirm that the point was indeed a Swing High/Low. Do not treat the box lines as predictive; they are reactive to confirmed structure.
Liquidity Void and Repair EngineLiquidity Void & Repair Engine
OVERVIEW
The Liquidity Void & Repair Engine is a high-fidelity institutional order flow tool designed to identify and track "Market Imbalances" or "Fair Value Gaps" (FVG). Unlike standard gap indicators that clutter the chart with every minor price jump, this engine uses Volatility-Adjusted Range Mapping to isolate high-conviction voids where price moved so rapidly that liquidity was left "unfilled."
The standout feature of this tool is its Active Repair Logic. The engine doesn't just draw static boxes; it monitors price action in real-time to determine when an imbalance has been "healed" by subsequent trading volume, providing a dynamic look at where the market has "unfinished business."
TECHNICAL LOGIC & ORIGINALITY
This script is published Open Source to contribute to the Pine Script community’s understanding of dynamic object management and order flow visualization.
ATR-Relative Filtering: To ensure only significant voids are plotted, the script uses a user-defined ATR (Average True Range) multiplier. This filters out market noise and focuses on institutional "impulse" moves.
Dynamic Box Management: Utilizing the Pine Script box array system, the script manages memory efficiently by updating existing objects rather than creating redundant ones.
The "Repair" Algorithm: The script tracks the high and low of every active void. When price action fully traverses the coordinates of a void, the script "seals" the box, visually marking the moment of liquidity equilibrium.
HOW TO USE
1. Identifying the "Magnet" (The Void)
When price moves aggressively, it leaves a "hole" in the auction.
Bullish Voids (Green): These represent areas where price surged so fast that buyers may still have unfilled orders sitting below. These act as Magnets for pullbacks.
Bearish Voids (Red): These represent areas where price plummeted, leaving a vacuum of selling pressure. These act as Magnets for relief rallies.
2. Trading the "Repair" Process
The Engine tracks how the market "repairs" these holes:
Partial Fill: If price enters a box but doesn't cross it, the "Magnet" is still active.
Full Repair: When a box is "sealed" (stops extending right), it indicates the imbalance is gone. If price "Seals" a green box and then bounces, it confirms the zone as Valid Institutional Support.
3. Confluence with the Trend
Continuation: In a strong uptrend, look for price to drop into a Green Bullish Void and find support. This is often the "Golden Entry" for trend followers.
Reversal Confirmation: If price ignores a Red Bearish Void and blasts right through it (sealing it instantly), it signals a massive shift in market regime and extreme bullish conviction.
USER SETTINGS
Lookback Period: How far back the engine searches for un-repaired gaps.
Min Gap Size (ATR %): Increase this to see only the "Major" institutional gaps; decrease it for a more granular intraday look.
Visual Styles: Fully customizable colors and transparency to match any chart theme (Dark/Light).
