CHoCH Multi-TimeframeCHoCH Multi-Timeframe — User Guide
What This Indicator Does
This indicator detects Change of Character (CHoCH) events — the precise moment price action transitions from one structural bias to another. When confirmed, a horizontal line is drawn at the break level, labeled with the originating timeframe (e.g. "15m CHoCH").
A Bullish CHoCH is confirmed when the market has been printing a sequence of lower highs and price then closes above the most recent one — signaling that the downside structure has been violated. A Bearish CHoCH is the mirror: a sequence of higher lows followed by a close beneath the last one.
The signal is not based on a single candle. It requires a statistically meaningful sequence of consecutive structural points before arming, ensuring the indicator reacts to genuine trend exhaustion rather than noise.
Swing Detection
Swing Left Bars / Swing Right Bars define the pivot detection window. A swing high is only confirmed if it is the highest point within a surrounding window of left + right bars. The right bars parameter introduces an inherent confirmation delay — no pivot is recognized until enough subsequent bars have printed to validate it. Higher values produce fewer, more structurally significant swings. Lower values increase sensitivity at the cost of more frequent, shallower pivots.
Min Consecutive Swings sets the threshold for trend establishment. The indicator will not arm a CHoCH until this many consecutive lower highs (or higher lows) have been observed. A value of 3 means three sequential lower highs must form before any bullish CHoCH can trigger — preventing signals in choppy, non-directional conditions.
Price Source
Pivot Source determines whether swing detection operates on full wick High/Low data or on Close prices only. Using Close produces cleaner, wick-filtered structure points.
Break Source controls what constitutes a structural break. With Close selected, only a candle that fully closes beyond the level counts as a break — the recommended setting, as it filters out wicks that momentarily pierce a level without committing. Switching to High/Low increases sensitivity but introduces more false breaks.
CHoCH Timeframes
Six timeframes are available — 1m, 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, and Daily. Each is independently toggled on or off, and each carries its own color so overlapping timeframe signals remain visually distinct at a glance.
Max Line Length controls how far in time a break can occur from the original swing before the line is suppressed. A break that comes too late relative to when the level was formed is considered stale and not drawn.
Exact Timeframe Match Only, when enabled, restricts the display to only the CHoCH whose timeframe matches the current chart — useful for a clean, focused view without cross-timeframe clutter.
One rule is always enforced regardless of settings: a lower-timeframe CHoCH will never render on a higher-timeframe chart. A 5m CHoCH has no business appearing on a 1H chart — the indicator handles this automatically.
Alerts
A master toggle gates all alerts globally. Below it, each timeframe has its own individual switch, giving full control over the signal-to-noise ratio of notifications. Alert messages are intentionally minimal: "Bullish CHoCH on 15m" or "Bearish CHoCH on 4H" — clear, actionable, without unnecessary data.
To activate alerts in PulseWire, create an alert on this indicator and select "Any alert() function call" as the condition.
Recommended Configurations
For scalping on the 1m chart, enable both the 1m and 5m CHoCH with Exact TF Match off — this lets the 5m structural context remain visible while operating on the lower timeframe.
For intraday trading on the 5m or 15m, enabling the 15m and 1H CHoCH provides a higher-timeframe structure overlay that highlights when meaningful trend shifts are occurring above your execution timeframe.
For swing trading, the 1H, 4H, and Daily combination captures macro structure shifts with minimal noise.
When chart clarity is the priority, enabling Exact Timeframe Match Only limits the display to a single, contextually relevant CHoCH layer. Indicator
Liquidity Radar# Liquidity Radar
## Overview
Liquidity Radar is a Smart Money Concepts (SMC) indicator that visualizes where institutional liquidity rests in the market. It combines automatic market structure detection (BOS & CHoCH), a thermal liquidity heatmap, dynamic order blocks, and fair value gaps into a single, performance-optimized overlay.
**Free & Open Source** — no invite-only access, no paywall. Full source code, fully transparent.
## The Concept: Why Liquidity Matters
In institutional trading, **liquidity pools** form above swing highs and below swing lows — these are clusters of stop-loss orders from retail traders. Smart money targets these pools to fill large positions. Understanding where liquidity rests gives you an edge in anticipating price movements:
- **Swing High Liquidity** — Stop-losses from short sellers sit above swing highs
- **Swing Low Liquidity** — Stop-losses from long buyers sit below swing lows
- **Liquidity Sweeps** — When price takes out a swing level to grab these stops, it often reverses
The indicator automates the detection and visualization of these key levels.
## Core Features
### 1. Thermal Liquidity Heatmap
The signature feature. Liquidity zones appear at every confirmed swing high and swing low with a thermal color gradient:
- **Fresh zones** — Warm colors (orange/yellow) indicate high relevance
- **Aging zones** — Cool colors (purple/blue) indicate decreasing relevance as time passes
- **Volume-weighted intensity** — Zones formed on high-volume bars appear more intense
- **Auto-cleanup** — Zones fade out over a configurable decay period and are removed when price sweeps through them
### 2. Market Structure Detection (BOS & CHoCH)
Automatic swing high/low detection using pivot-based logic:
- **BOS (Break of Structure)** — Price breaks a prior swing level in the trend direction (continuation). Shown as dashed lines.
- **CHoCH (Change of Character)** — Price breaks a prior swing level against the trend (potential reversal). Shown as solid lines with thicker width.
- Color-coded: Cyan/Teal = bullish, Magenta/Pink = bearish
### 3. Dynamic Order Blocks
Institutional supply and demand zones rendered as semi-transparent boxes:
- **Bullish OB** — The last bearish candle before a strong bullish move (at swing lows)
- **Bearish OB** — The last bullish candle before a strong bearish move (at swing highs)
- Configurable mitigation threshold — controls how much price must penetrate the block before it is considered mitigated
- Auto-removed when price closes through the block
### 4. Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Three-candle inefficiency detection:
- Bullish FVG: Gap between candle 1's low and candle 3's high
- Bearish FVG: Gap between candle 1's high and candle 3's low
- ATR-based noise filter removes insignificant gaps
- Auto-removed when price fills the gap
- Default: OFF (toggle on in settings)
### 5. Premium / Discount Zones
Based on the current swing range:
- **Premium Zone** (upper half) — Light red background
- **Discount Zone** (lower half) — Light green background
- **Equilibrium Line** (50%) — Dashed amber line
- Default: OFF (toggle on in settings)
## Dashboard
A compact, dark-themed info panel displaying:
- **Trend** — Current market direction (Bullish / Bearish / Neutral)
- **Structure** — Last detected structure signal (BOS or CHoCH)
- **Liq. Heat** — How many liquidity zones are near the current price (High / Medium / Low)
- **Volume** — Above or below 20-period average
- **Momentum** — RSI(14) status (Overbought / Neutral / Oversold)
- **Next Zone** — Nearest liquidity zone with price level and distance in percent
## Auto-Timeframe Adaptation
All parameters automatically adjust to your chart timeframe:
| Timeframe | Swing Lookback | Heatmap Decay |
|-----------|---------------|---------------|
| 1-5 min | 6 | 100 bars |
| 15 min | 10 | 80 bars |
| 30 min | 12 | 80 bars |
| 1 Hour | 15 | 60 bars |
| 4 Hour | 22 | 50 bars |
| Daily | 35 | 40 bars |
| Weekly+ | 50 | 30 bars |
You can switch to manual mode for full control.

Indicator
All-in-One SMC ProAll-in-One SMC Pro: CHOCH • BOS • FVG • Order Blocks • Liquidity + Discount/Premium
This open-source overlay indicator combines the five most widely used Smart Money / ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts into a single, customizable tool:
- Break of Structure (BOS)
- Change of Character (CHOCH)
- Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
- Order Blocks (mitigation blocks)
- Liquidity grabs (equal highs/lows)
- Discount / Premium zones
Why this combination?
SMC traders rarely use these concepts in isolation. A complete workflow typically involves:
1. Identifying market structure direction (BOS) or reversal (CHOCH)
2. Locating high-probability entry zones (Order Blocks, FVGs)
3. Confirming institutional manipulation (liquidity grabs of equal highs/lows)
4. Understanding price positioning relative to value (discount = buy bias, premium = sell bias)
Putting them all in one script reduces chart clutter, improves confluence visibility, and helps newer SMC users see how the pieces connect — without needing 5–7 separate indicators.
Core Concepts & Detection Logic
1. Break of Structure (BOS)
- Bullish BOS: price closes above previous swing high
- Bearish BOS: price closes below previous swing low
- Swing points detected with user-defined lookback (default 5 bars left/right)
2. Change of Character (CHOCH)
- Bullish CHOCH: price makes lower low but closes above previous swing high (bearish structure broken → bullish reversal signal)
- Bearish CHOCH: price makes higher high but closes below previous swing low (bullish structure broken → bearish reversal signal)
3. Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
- Bullish FVG: gap up after a bearish candle (low > high )
- Bearish FVG: gap down after a bullish candle (high < low )
- Sensitivity controlled via ATR multiplier (default 0.1 × ATR(14))
- Dashed horizontal lines mark the gap boundaries
4. Order Blocks
- Bullish OB: previous swing low after bullish BOS (potential demand zone)
- Bearish OB: previous swing high after bearish BOS (potential supply zone)
- Drawn as semi-transparent boxes extending rightward (lookback period adjustable)
5. Liquidity Grabs
- Detects clusters of equal highs/lows (default 3-bar lookback)
- Labels appear when price reverses after touching equal levels (classic stop-hunt / liquidity raid)
6. Discount / Premium Zones
- Equilibrium proxy = (H + L + C) / 3
- Discount: price below ~0.5% of equilibrium (green tint – buy bias area)
- Premium: price above ~0.5% of equilibrium (red tint – sell bias area)
Visual Customization
- Toggle each element independently (BOS, CHOCH, FVG, OB, Liquidity, Disc/Prem)
- Separate bullish/bearish colors + dedicated FVG/OB/Liquidity colors
- Max lines/labels set high (500) to handle longer histories
Alerts (built-in conditions)
- Bullish / Bearish BOS
- Bullish / Bearish CHOCH
- Bullish / Bearish FVG formation
How to Use
- Best on 5m–4h timeframes for forex, indices, crypto, gold (high-liquidity instruments)
- Typical SMC workflow example:
1. Look for CHOCH → potential trend reversal
2. Wait for BOS in new direction → structure confirmation
3. Seek entry at Order Block or FVG mitigation in discount/premium zone
4. Liquidity grabs near swing extremes often precede strong moves
- Combine with session times, news events, or higher-timeframe bias — never trade signals in isolation
- Adjust swingLen (3–10) for sensitivity: lower = more signals, higher = cleaner structure
Publishing Recommendation
- Publish with a clean chart (recommended: 15m–1h EURUSD, XAUUSD, BTCUSD, or NQ1!)
- Show a recent CHOCH → BOS → OB/FVG confluence sequence
- Remove all other indicators, drawings, and unnecessary gridlines
Always use discretion, proper risk management, and backtest thoroughly.
Feedback welcome — especially on FVG sensitivity or OB refinement ideas! Indicator
SMC: Multi-TF Bias & HTF BOS with SessionsOverview
The HTF BOS (Session) - Precision Lines is a comprehensive trading tool designed for Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and price action traders. It identifies Higher Timeframe (HTF) Break of Structure (BOS) levels while filtering them based on specific trading sessions. Additionally, it features a built-in Bias Dashboard that tracks trend alignment across three different timeframes to help you stay on the right side of the market.
Key Features
1. Precision HTF BOS Tracking
Unlike standard indicators that only mark the breakout candle, this script uses high-precision pivot detection to identify the exact origin of a structural high or low.
Tam Yapışık Çizgiler (Precise Lines): The BOS lines are drawn exactly from the pivot point to the breakout point, providing a clean and professional look on your chart.
HTF Integration: You can track structure from a higher timeframe (e.g., 4H) while trading on a lower timeframe (e.g., 15m or 5m).
2. Session Filtering (Time Sensitivity)
Structural breaks are most reliable when they happen during high-volume periods.
The script includes a Session Filter (London & New York).
If enabled, the indicator will only plot BOS levels that occur during your specified trading hours, helping you avoid "fake-outs" or noise during low-liquidity periods (Asian session/After-hours).
3. Multi-Timeframe Bias Dashboard
Stay aware of the "Big Picture" without constantly switching charts. The dashboard monitors three custom timeframes (e.g., Daily, 4H, 1H) and determines if the structure is Bullish or Bearish.
Strong Buy/Sell Signals: When all three timeframes align, the status cell highlights as "BUY" or "SELL."
Wait Status: If timeframes are in conflict, the dashboard suggests "WAIT," encouraging disciplined trading.
How to Use
Define Your Bias: Set your three Bias Timeframes in the settings to match your higher-level strategy.
Set Your BOS TF: Choose the timeframe you want structural breaks to be calculated from (usually one or two steps above your entry chart).
Adjust Sensitivity: Use the "Pivot Sensitivity" setting to filter between minor and major structural points.
Confirm with Session: Enable the session filter to ensure you are only trading breaks that occur during the NY or London sessions.
Settings
Bias Dashboard Settings: Customize the TFs and pivot sensitivity for trend analysis.
BOS & Session Settings: Set your target HTF for drawings and define your trading window (NY Timezone supported).
Visual Settings: Full control over colors (Bullish/Bearish), table positioning, and text sizes. Indicator
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.

FX OSINT - Institutional Midnight Intelligence For ForexFX OSINT — Institutional Midnight Intelligence For Forex
See Your FX Charts Like an Intelligence Briefing, Not a Guess
If you’ve ever stared at EURUSD or GBPJPY and thought:
Where is the real liquidity?
Is this move sponsored by smart money or just noise?
Am I buying into premium or discount?
…then FX OSINT is designed for you.
FX OSINT (Forex Open Source Intelligence) treats the FX market the way an analyst treats an investigation:
Collect open‑source signals from price, time, and volatility.
Map out liquidity, structure, and sessions in a repeatable way.
Present them in a clean, non‑cluttered dashboard so you can read context quickly.
No rainbow spaghetti. No 12 indicators stacked on top of each other. Just structured information, midnight visuals, and a clear read on what the market is doing right now.
Why FX OSINT Exists
Many FX traders run into the same problems:
Overloaded charts – multiple indicators fighting for space, none talking to each other.
Signals with no context – arrows that ignore structure, sessions, and liquidity.
Tools not tuned for FX – generic indicators that don’t care what pair you are on.
FX OSINT brings this together into one FX‑focused framework that:
Understands structure : BOS/CHOCH, swings, and trend across multiple timeframes.
Respects liquidity : sweeps, order blocks, and FVGs with controlled visibility.
Reads volatility & ADR : how far today’s range has developed.
Knows the clock : London, New York, and key killzones.
Scores confluence : a 0–100 engine that summarizes how much is lining up.
FX OSINT is built for traders who want structured, institutional‑style logic with a disciplined, midnight‑themed UI —not flashing buy/sell buttons.
1. Midnight Dashboard — Top‑Right Intelligence Panel
This panel acts as your compact “situation room”:
CONFLUENCE — 0–100 score blending trend alignment, volatility regime, sessions, liquidity events, order blocks, FVGs, and ADR context.
REGIME — Low / Building / Normal / Expansion / Extreme, driven by ATR relationships, so you know if you’re in chop, trend, or expansion.
HTF / MTF / LTF TREND — Higher‑, medium‑, and current‑timeframe bias in one place, so you see if you are trading with or against the larger flow.
ADR USED — How much of today’s typical range has already been consumed in percentage terms.
PIP VALUE — Approximate pip size per pair, including JPY‑style pairs.
Everything is bold, legible, and color‑coded, but the layout stays minimal so you can:
Look once → understand the context.
2. Structure, BOS, CHOCH — Smart‑Money‑Style Skeleton
FX OSINT tracks swing highs and lows, then shows how structure evolves:
Trend logic based on evolving swings, not just a moving average cross.
BOS (Break of Structure) when price expands in the direction of trend.
CHOCH (Change of Character) when behavior flips and the market structure changes.
Labels are selective, not spammy . You don’t get a tag on every minor wiggle—only when structure meaningfully shifts, so it’s easier to answer:
"Are we continuing the current leg, or did something actually change here?"
3. Liquidity Sweeps, Order Blocks & FVGs — The OSINT Layer
FX OSINT treats liquidity as a key information layer:
Liquidity sweeps — Detects when price spikes through recent highs/lows and then snaps back, flagging potential stop runs.
Order blocks — The last opposite candle before a displacement move, drawn as controlled boxes with limited lifespan to avoid clutter.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) — Three‑candle imbalances rendered as precise zones with a cap on how many can exist at once.
Under the hood, boxes are managed so your chart does not become a wall of old zones:
// Draw Order Blocks with overlap prevention
if isBullishOB and showOrderBlocks
if array.size(obBoxes) >= maxBoxes
oldBox = array.shift(obBoxes)
box.delete(oldBox)
newBox = box.new(bar_index , low , bar_index + obvLength, high ,
border_color = bullColor, bgcolor = bullColorTransp,
border_width = 2, extend = extend.none)
array.push(obBoxes, newBox)
Box limits keep the number of zones under control.
Borders and transparency are tuned so you still see price clearly.
You end up with a curated liquidity map , rather than a chart buried under every level price has ever touched.
4. Volatility, ADR & Sessions — Time and Range Intelligence
FX OSINT runs a Volatility Regime Analyzer and an ADR engine in the background:
Volatility regime — Five states (Low → Extreme) derived from fast vs. slow ATR.
ADR bands — Daily high/mid/low projected from the current daily open.
ADR used % — How far today’s move has traveled relative to its typical range.
On the time side:
Asia, London, New York sessions are softly highlighted with a single active background to avoid overlapping colors.
Killzones (e.g., London and New York opens) can be emphasized when you want to focus on where significant moves often begin.
Together, this helps you answer:
"What time is it in the trading day?"
"How stretched are we?"
"Is expansion just starting, or are we late to the move?"
5. ICT‑Style Add‑Ons — BOS/CHOCH, Premium/Discount, and Confluence
For modern FX / ICT‑inspired workflows, FX OSINT includes:
BOS / CHOCH labels — Clear structural shifts based on swings.
Premium / Discount zones — 25%, 50%, 75% levels of the daily range, so you know if you are buying discount in an uptrend or selling premium in a downtrend.
Confluence score — A single number summarizing how many conditions line up in the current context.
Instead of replacing your plan, FX OSINT compresses your checklist into the chart:
Structure
Liquidity
Session / Time
Volatility / ADR
Higher‑timeframe alignment
When these agree, the dashboard reflects it. When they don’t, it stays neutral and lets you see the conflict.
How To Use FX OSINT
FX OSINT is not a signal bot. It is an information engine that organizes context so you can apply your own plan.
A typical workflow might look like:
Start on higher timeframes (e.g., H4/D1) to form directional bias from structure, volatility regime, and ADR context.
Move to intraday timeframes (e.g., M15/H1) around your chosen sessions (London and/or New York).
Look for confluence :
HTF / MTF / LTF trends aligned.
Price in discount for longs or premium for shorts.
Recent liquidity sweep into a meaningful OB or FVG.
Confluence score at or above a level you consider significant.
Then refine entries using BOS/CHOCH on lower timeframes according to your own risk and execution rules.
FX OSINT aims to make sure you do not enter a trade without seeing:
Where you are in the day (ADR and sessions).
Where you are in the volatility cycle (regime).
Who currently appears in control (structure and trend).
Which liquidity was just targeted (sweeps and zones).
Design Choices and Scope
FX OSINT was designed around a few clear constraints:
FX‑focused — Logic and filters tuned for FX majors, minors, exotics, and metals. It is intended for FX markets, not for every possible asset class.
Open‑source — The full Pine Script code is available so you can read it, learn from it, and adapt it to your own workflow if needed.
Clear themes — Two main visual styles (e.g., dark institutional “midnight” and a lighter accent variant) with a focus on readability, not visual noise.
Chart‑friendly — Panels use fixed areas, session highlights avoid overlapping, and boxes are capped/pruned so the chart remains usable.
FX OSINT is for only Forex pairs, not anything else!
Hope you enjoyed and remember your Open Source Intelligence Matters 😉!

Smart Money Toolkit - PD Engine Bias Map [KedArc Quant]Description
Smart Money is an advanced multi-layer Smart Money Concepts framework that automatically detects structure shifts, premium-discount zones, and institutional order flow.
It is built around the PD Engine, which calculates the midpoint of the most recent market swing and dynamically determines BUY or SELL bias based on where current price trades relative to that equilibrium. This toolkit visualizes structure, order blocks, and bias context in one clean map, giving traders an institutional-grade view without unnecessary signal clutter.
Why It Is Unique
- All CHoCH, BOS, Order Block, FVG, and PD logic are coded from scratch.
- Uses true equilibrium (50 percent PD midpoint) for dynamic bias.
- Optimized for stability and non-repainting behavior.
- Designed for clarity with minimal, performance-safe visuals.
Entry and Exit Logic (Discretionary Framework)
- This toolkit is not a signal generator. It provides market context that guides discretionary trading.
BUY Bias (Discount Zone)
- Price trades below PD Mid: the market is in discount.
- Wait for a bullish CHoCH or reaction from a demand OB or FVG before buying.
- Target 1 = PD Mid. Target 2 = next opposite OB or FVG.
SELL Bias (Premium Zone)
- Price trades above PD Mid: the market is in premium.
- Wait for a bearish CHoCH or reaction from a supply OB or FVG before shorting.
- Target 1 = PD Mid. Target 2 = next opposite OB or FVG.
Institutional concept sequence: Bias → Structure Shift → Confirmation → Execution.
Input Configuration
Swing Sensitivity - Determines how far back to identify HH and LL pivots.
OB / FVG Detection - Toggles visual Order Block or Fair Value Gap zones.
PD Engine - Shows PD midpoint line, zone shading, and bias table.
Multi-TF Bias Sync - Optionally reads a higher timeframe bias for confirmation.
Color Themes - Switch between light, dark, or institutional palettes.
Formula / Logic Summary
Concept Formula
PD Mid (Equilibrium) (Recent Swing High + Recent Swing Low) / 2
BUY Bias close < PD Mid
SELL Bias close > PD Mid
CHoCH / BOS Pivot-based structure reversal: HH→LL or LL→HH
Order Block Last bullish or bearish candle before displacement.
FVG Gap between prior candle high/low and next candle range.
These formulas follow the structure used in institutional Smart Money Concepts.
How It Helps Traders
- Shows institutional premium and discount zones visually.
- Defines clear directional bias before entry.
- Combines structure, order blocks, FVG, and equilibrium in one layout.
- Works on any timeframe or asset.
- Prevents emotional trades by giving objective bias context.
Glossary
PD Mid Midpoint between recent swing high and low (market fair value).
Premium Zone Price above PD Mid; sellers control.
Discount Zone Price below PD Mid; buyers control.

SMC Structures and Multi-Timeframe FVG PYSMC Structures and Multi-Timeframe FVG Indicator
Tip: For optimal performance, adjust the number of FVGs displayed per timeframe in the settings. On high-performance devices, up to 8 FVGs per timeframe can be used without issues. If you experience slowdowns, reduce to 3 or 4 FVGs per timeframe. If the chart flashes, disable indicators one by one to identify conflicts, or try using the PulseWire Mobile or Windows App for a smoother experience.
Overview
This Pine Script indicator enhances market analysis by integrating Smart Money Concepts (SMC) with Fair Value Gaps (FVG) across multiple timeframes. It identifies trend continuations (Break of Structure, BOS) and trend reversals (Change of Character, CHoCH) while highlighting liquidity zones through FVG detection. The indicator includes eight customizable Moving Average (MA) curve templates, disabled by default, to complement SMC and FVG analysis. Its originality lies in combining multi-timeframe FVG detection with SMC structure analysis, providing traders with a cohesive tool to visualize price action patterns and liquidity zones efficiently.
Features and Functionality
1. Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
The indicator detects and displays bullish, bearish, and mitigated FVGs, representing liquidity zones where price inefficiencies occur. These gaps are dynamically updated based on price action:
Bullish FVG: Displayed in green when unmitigated, indicating potential upward liquidity zones.
Bearish FVG: Displayed in red when unmitigated, signaling potential downward liquidity zones.
Mitigated FVG: Shown in gray once the gap is partially filled by price action.
Fully Mitigated FVG: Automatically removed from the chart when the gap is fully filled, reducing visual clutter.
Users can customize the number of historical FVGs displayed via the settings, allowing focus on recent liquidity zones for targeted analysis.
2. SMC Structures
The indicator identifies key SMC price action patterns:
Break of Structure (BOS): Marked with gray lines, indicating trend continuation when price breaks a significant high or low.
Change of Character (CHoCH): Highlighted with yellow lines, signaling potential trend reversals when price fails to maintain the current structure.
High/Low Values: Blue lines denote the highest high and lowest low of the current structure, providing reference points for market context.
3. Multi-Timeframe FVG Analysis
A standout feature is the ability to analyze FVGs across multiple timeframes simultaneously. This allows traders to align higher-timeframe liquidity zones with lower-timeframe entries, improving trade precision. The indicator fetches FVG data from user-selected timeframes, displaying them cohesively on the chart.
4. Moving Average (MA) Templates
The indicator includes eight customizable MA curve templates in the Settings > Template section, disabled by default. These templates allow users to overlay MAs (e.g., SMA, EMA, WMA) to complement SMC and FVG analysis. Each template is pre-configured with different periods and types, enabling quick adaptation to various trading strategies, such as trend confirmation or dynamic support/resistance.
How It Works
The script processes price action to detect FVGs by analyzing three-candle patterns where a gap forms between the high/low of the first and third candles. Multi-timeframe data is retrieved using Pine Script’s request.security() function, ensuring accurate FVG plotting across user-defined timeframes. BOS and CHoCH are identified by tracking swing highs and lows, with logic to differentiate trend continuation from reversals. The MA templates are computed using standard Pine Script TA functions, with user inputs controlling visibility and parameters.
How to Use
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to any PulseWire chart.
Configure Settings:
FVG Settings: Adjust the number of historical FVGs to display (default: 10). Enable/disable specific FVG types (bullish, bearish, mitigated).
Timeframe Selection: Choose up to three timeframes for FVG analysis (e.g., 1H, 4H, 1D) to align with your trading strategy.
Structure Settings: Toggle BOS (gray lines) and CHoCH (yellow lines) visibility. Adjust sensitivity for structure detection if needed.
MA Templates: Enable MA curves via the Template section. Select from eight pre-configured MA types and periods to suit your analysis.
Interpret Signals:
Use green/red FVGs for potential entry points targeting liquidity zones.
Monitor gray lines (BOS) for trend continuation and yellow lines (CHoCH) for reversal signals.
Align multi-timeframe FVGs with BOS/CHoCH for high-probability setups.
Optionally, use MA curves for trend confirmation or dynamic levels.
Clean Chart Usage: The indicator is designed to work standalone. Ensure no conflicting scripts are applied unless explicitly needed for your strategy.
Why This Indicator Is Unique
Unlike standalone FVG or SMC indicators, this script combines both concepts with multi-timeframe analysis, offering a comprehensive view of market structure and liquidity. The addition of customizable MA templates enhances flexibility, while the dynamic removal of mitigated FVGs keeps the chart clean. This mashup is purposeful, as it integrates complementary tools to streamline decision-making for traders using SMC strategies.
Credits
This indicator builds on foundational SMC and FVG concepts from the PulseWire community. Some open-source code was reused, and do performance enhancement as you guys can read the code. This type of indicators has inspiration was drawn from public domain SMC methodologies. All code is partly original with manual work on performance optimization in Pine Script.
Notes
Ensure your chart is clean (no unnecessary drawings or indicators) to maximize clarity.
The indicator is open-source, and traders are encouraged to review the code for deeper understanding.

Market Structure ICT Screener [TradingFinder] BoS ChoCh🔵 Introduction
Market Structure is the foundation of every Smart Money and ICT based trading model. It describes how price moves through a sequence of highs and lows, forming clear phases of expansion, retracement and reversal. Understanding this structure allows traders to read institutional order flow and align their positions with the true direction of liquidity.
Two of the most critical components in Market Structure are the Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHOCH). A BOS represents trend continuation, confirming strength within the current direction. In contrast, CHOCH also known as a Market Structure Shift (MSS) signals the first sign of a trend reversal or liquidity shift where order flow begins to change from bullish to bearish or vice versa.
Because the market is fractal, structure can exist at multiple levels known as Major (External) and Minor (Internal). Major structure defines the overall trend on higher timeframes while minor or internal structure reveals short term swings and early reversals within that larger move.
🔵 How to Use
Understanding Market Structure starts with identifying how price interacts with previous swing highs and swing lows. Every trend in the market, whether bullish or bearish, is built from a sequence of impulsive and corrective moves. Impulsive legs show strong displacement in the direction of liquidity flow, while corrective legs represent temporary pullbacks as the market rebalances before the next expansion. Recognizing these sequences is essential for reading the story of price and anticipating what may happen next.
A Break of Structure (BOS) occurs when price decisively moves beyond a previous structural point by breaking above the last high in an uptrend or falling below the last low in a downtrend. This event confirms that the current trend remains intact and that liquidity has been successfully taken from one side of the market. A BOS acts as confirmation of continuation and reflects strength within the existing directional bias.
A Change of Character (CHOCH) appears when price violates structure in the opposite direction of the prevailing trend. This is the first signal that market sentiment and order flow may be shifting. For example, during a downtrend if price breaks above a previous high, it indicates that sellers are losing control and a potential bullish reversal may be developing. In an uptrend, when price drops below a recent low, it suggests a possible bearish transition.
Because the market is fractal, structure exists across multiple layers. Major structure reflects the dominant movement visible on higher timeframes and defines the broader directional bias. Minor or internal structure represents smaller swings within that move and helps identify early transitions before they appear on the higher timeframe. When internal and external structures align, they offer a high probability signal for trend continuation or reversal.
By observing BOS and CHOCH across both internal and external structures, traders can clearly visualize when the market is expanding, contracting or preparing to shift direction. This structured understanding of price movement forms the foundation for precise trend analysis and high quality decision making in any Smart Money or ICT based trading approach.

🔵 Conclusion
Mastering Market Structure and understanding the relationship between BOS and CHOCH allows traders to see the market with greater clarity and confidence. These two elements reveal how liquidity moves through different phases of expansion and retracement and how institutional order flow shifts between accumulation and distribution.
By analyzing both internal and external structures, traders can align short term and long term perspectives and anticipate where price is most likely to react. The ability to read these structural shifts helps identify continuation points, reversals and areas where liquidity is engineered or collected.
Incorporating Market Structure into a consistent trading process transforms the way a trader views the chart. Instead of reacting to random movements, each swing, break and shift becomes part of a logical framework that reflects the true behavior of the market. Understanding BOS and CHOCH is not just a concept but a complete language of price that guides every professional decision in Smart Money and ICT based trading.

Market Structure Report Library [TradingFinder]🔵 Introduction
Market Structure is one of the most fundamental concepts in Price Action and Smart Money theory. In simple terms, it represents how price moves between highs and lows and reveals which phase of the market cycle we are currently in uptrend, downtrend, or transition.
Each structure in the market is formed by a combination of Breaks of Structure (BoS) and Changes of Character (CHoCH) :
BoS occurs when the market breaks a previous high or low, confirming the continuation of the current trend.
CHoCH occurs when price breaks in the opposite direction for the first time, signaling a potential trend reversal.
Since price movement is inherently fractal, market structure can be analyzed on two distinct levels :
Major / External Structure: represents the dominant macro trend.
Minor / Internal Structure: represents corrective or smaller-scale movements within the larger trend.
🔵 Library Purpose
The “Market Structure Report Library” is designed to automatically detect the current market structure type in real time.
Without drawing or displaying any visuals, it analyzes raw price data and returns a series of logical and textual outputs (Return Values) that describe the current structural state of the market.
It provides the following information :
Trend Type :
External Trend (Major): Up Trend, Down Trend, No Trend
Internal Trend (Minor): Up Trend, Down Trend, No Trend
Structure Type :
BoS : Confirms trend continuation
CHoCH : Indicates a potential trend reversal
Consecutive BoS Counter : Measures trend strength on both Major and Minor levels.
Candle Type : Returns the current candle’s condition(Bullish, Bearish, Doji)
This library is specifically designed for use in Smart Money–based screeners, indicators, and algorithmic strategies.
It can analyze multiple symbols and timeframes simultaneously and return the exact structure type (BoS or CHoCH) and trend direction for each.

Trend Fib Zone Bounce (TFZB) [KedArc Quant]Description:
Trend Fib Zone Bounce (TFZB) trades with the latest confirmed Supply/Demand zone using a single, configurable Fib pullback (0.3/0.5/0.6). Trade only in the direction of the most recent zone and use a single, configurable fib level for pullback entries.
• Detects market structure via confirmed swing highs/lows using a rolling window.
• Draws Supply/Demand zones (bearish/bullish rectangles) from the latest MSS (CHOCH or BOS) event.
• Computes intra zone Fib guide rails and keeps them extended in real time.
• Triggers BUY only inside bullish zones and SELL only inside bearish zones when price touches the selected fib and closes back beyond it (bounce confirmation).
• Optional labels print BULL/BEAR + fib next to the triangle markers.
What it does
Finds structure using confirmed swing highs/lows (you choose the confirmation length).
Builds the latest zone (bullish = demand, bearish = supply) after a CHOCH/BOS event.
Draws intra-zone “guide rails” (Fib lines) and extends them live.
Signals only with the trend of that zone:
BUY inside a bullish zone when price tags the selected Fib and closes back above it.
SELL inside a bearish zone when price tags the selected Fib and closes back below it.
Optional labels print BULL/BEAR + Fib next to triangles for quick context
Why this is different
Most “zone + fib + signal” tools bolt together several indicators, or fire counter-trend signals because they don’t fully respect structure. TFZB is intentionally minimal:
Single bias source: the latest confirmed zone defines direction; nothing else overrides it.
Single entry rule: one Fib bounce (0.3/0.5/0.6 selectable) inside that zone—no counter-trend trades by design.
Clean visuals: you can show only the most recent zone, clamp overlap, and keep just the rails that matter.
Deterministic & transparent: every plot/label comes from the code you see—no external series or hidden smoothing
How it helps traders
Cuts decision noise: you always know the bias and the only entry that matters right now.
Forces discipline: if price isn’t inside the active zone, you don’t trade.
Adapts to volatility: pick 0.3 in strong trends, 0.5 as the default, 0.6 in chop.
Non-repainting zones: swings are confirmed after Structure Length bars, then used to build zones that extend forward (they don’t “teleport” later)
How it works (details)
*Structure confirmation
A swing high/low is only confirmed after Structure Length bars have elapsed; the dot is plotted back on the original bar using offset. Expect a confirmation delay of about Structure Length × timeframe.
*Zone creation
After a CHOCH/BOS (momentum shift / break of prior swing), TFZB draws the new Supply/Demand zone from the swing anchors and sets it active.
*Fib guide rails
Inside the active zone TFZB projects up to five Fib lines (defaults: 0.3 / 0.5 / 0.7) and extends them as time passes.
*Entry logic (with-trend only)
BUY: bar’s low ≤ fib and close > fib inside a bullish zone.
SELL: bar’s high ≥ fib and close < fib inside a bearish zone.
*Optionally restrict to one signal per zone to avoid over-trading.
(Optional) Aggressive confirm-bar entry
When do the swing dots print?
* The code confirms a swing only after `structureLen` bars have elapsed since that candidate high/low.
* On a 5-min chart with `structureLen = 10`, that’s about 50 minutes later.
* When the swing confirms, the script plots the dot back on the original bar (via `offset = -structureLen`). So you *see* the dot on the old bar, but it only appears on the chart once the confirming bar arrives.
> Practical takeaway: expect swing markers to appear roughly `structureLen × timeframe` later. Zones and signals are built from those confirmed swings.
Best timeframe for this Indicator
Use the timeframe that matches your holding period and the noise level of the instrument:
* Intraday :
* 5m or 15m are the sweet spots.
* Suggested `structureLen`:
* 5m: 10–14 (confirmation delay \~50–70 min)
* 15m: 8–10 (confirmation delay \~2–2.5 hours)
* Keep Entry Fib at 0.5 to start; try 0.3 in strong trends, 0.6 in chop.
* Tip: avoid the first 10–15 minutes after the open; let the initial volatility set the early structure.
* Swing/overnight:
* 1h or 4h.
* `structureLen`:
* 1h: 6–10 (6–10 hours confirmation)
* 4h: 5–8 (20–32 hours confirmation)
* 1m scalping: not recommended here—the confirmation lag relative to the noise makes zones less reliable.
Inputs (all groups)
Structure
• Show Swing Points (structureTog)
o Plots small dots on the bar where a swing point is confirmed (offset back by Structure Length).
• Structure Length (structureLen)
o Lookback used to confirm swing highs/lows and determine local structure. Higher = fewer, stronger swings; lower = more reactive.
Zones
• Show Last (zoneDispNum)
o Maximum number of zones kept on the chart when Display All Zones is off.
• Display All Zones (dispAll)
o If on, ignores Show Last and keeps all zones/levels.
• Zone Display (zoneFilter): Bullish Only / Bearish Only / Both
o Filters which zone types are drawn and eligible for signals.
• Clean Up Level Overlap (noOverlap)
o Prevents fib lines from overlapping when a new zone starts near the previous one (clamps line start/end times for readability).
Fib Levels
Each row controls whether a fib is drawn and how it looks:
• Toggle (f1Tog…f5Tog): Show/hide a given fib line.
• Level (f1Lvl…f5Lvl): Numeric ratio in . Defaults active: 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 (0 and 1 off by default).
• Line Style (f1Style…f5Style): Solid / Dashed / Dotted.
• Bull/Bear Colors (f#BullColor, f#BearColor): Per-fib color in bullish vs bearish zones.
Style
• Structure Color: Dot color for confirmed swing points.
• Bullish Zone Color / Bearish Zone Color: Rectangle fills (transparent by default).
Signals
• Entry Fib for Signals (entryFibSel): Choose 0.3, 0.5 (default), or 0.6 as the trigger line.
• Show Buy/Sell Signals (showSignals): Toggles triangle markers on/off.
• One Signal Per Zone (oneSignalPerZone): If on, suppresses additional entries within the same zone after the first trigger.
• Show Signal Text Labels (Bull/Bear + Fib) (showSignalLabels): Adds a small label next to each triangle showing zone bias and the fib used (e.g., BULL 0.5 or BEAR 0.3).
How TFZB decides signals
With trend only:
• BUY
1. Latest active zone is bullish.
2. Current bar’s close is inside the zone (between top and bottom).
3. The bar’s low ≤ selected fib and it closes > selected fib (bounce).
• SELL
1. Latest active zone is bearish.
2. Current bar’s close is inside the zone.
3. The bar’s high ≥ selected fib and it closes < selected fib.
Markers & labels
• BUY: triangle up below the bar; optional label “BULL 0.x” above it.
• SELL: triangle down above the bar; optional label “BEAR 0.x” below it.
Right-Panel Swing Log (Table)
What it is
A compact, auto-updating log of the most recent Swing High/Low events, printed in the top-right of the chart.
It helps you see when a pivot formed, when it was confirmed, and at what price—so you know the earliest bar a zone-based signal could have appeared.
Columns
Type – Swing High or Swing Low.
Date – Calendar date of the swing bar (follows the chart’s timezone).
Swing @ – Time of the original swing bar (where the dot is drawn).
Confirm @ – Time of the bar that confirmed that swing (≈ Structure Length × timeframe after the swing). This is also the earliest moment a new zone/entry can be considered.
Price – The swing price (high for SH, low for SL).
Why it’s useful
Clarity on repaint/confirmation: shows the natural delay between a swing forming and being usable—no guessing.
Planning & journaling: quick reference of today’s pivots and prices for notes/backtesting.
Scanning intraday: glance to see if you already have a confirmed zone (and therefore valid fib-bounce entries), or if you’re still waiting.
Context for signals: if a fib-bounce triangle appears before the time listed in Confirm @, it’s not a valid trade (you were too early).
Settings (Inputs → Logging)
Log swing times / Show table – turn the table on/off.
Rows to keep – how many recent entries to display.
Show labels on swing bar – optional tags on the chart (“Swing High 11:45”, “Confirm SH 14:15”) that match the table.
Recommended defaults
• Structure Length: 10–20 for intraday; 20–40 for swing.
• Entry Fib for Signals: 0.5 to start; try 0.3 in stronger trends and 0.6 in choppier markets.
• One Signal Per Zone: ON (prevents over trading).
• Zone Display: Both.
• Fib Lines: Keep 0.3/0.5/0.7 on; turn on 0 and 1 only if you need anchors.
Alerts
Two alert conditions are available:
• BUY signal – fires when a with trend bullish bounce at the selected fib occurs inside a bullish zone.
• SELL signal – fires when a with trend bearish bounce at the selected fib occurs inside a bearish zone.
Create alerts from the chart’s Alerts panel and select the desired condition. Use Once Per Bar Close to avoid intrabar flicker.
Notes & tips
• Swing dots are confirmed only after Structure Length bars, so they plot back in time; zones built from these confirmed swings do not repaint (though they extend as new bars form).
• If you don’t see a BUY where you expect one, check: (1) Is the active zone bullish? (2) Did the candle’s low actually pierce the selected fib and close above it? (3) Is One Signal Per Zone suppressing a second entry?
• You can hide visual clutter by reducing Show Last to 1–3 while keeping Display All Zones off.
Glossary
• CHOCH (Change of Character): A shift where price breaks beyond the last opposite swing while local momentum flips.
• BOS (Break of Structure): A cleaner break beyond the prior swing level in the current momentum direction.
• MSS: Either CHOCH or BOS – any event that spawns a new zone.
Extension ideas (optional)
• Add fib extensions (1.272 / 1.618) for target lines.
• Zone quality score using ATR normalization to filter weak impulses.
• HTF filter to only accept zones aligned with a higher timeframe trend.

Angle Market Structure [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
Angle Market Structure is a smart pivot-based tool that dynamically adapts to price action by accelerating breakout and breakdown detection. It draws market structure levels based on pivot highs/lows and gradually adjusts those levels closer to price using an angle threshold. Upon breakout, the indicator projects deviation zones with labeled levels (+1, +2, +3 or −1, −2, −3) to track price extension beyond structure.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Adaptive Market Structure: Uses pivots to define structure levels, which dynamically angle closer to price over time to capture breakouts sooner.
Breakout Acceleration: Pivot high levels decrease and pivot low levels increase each bar using a user-defined angle (based on ATR), improving reactivity.
Deviation Zones: Once a breakout or breakdown occurs, 3 deviation levels are projected to show how far price extends beyond the breakout point.
Count Labels: Each successful structure break is numbered sequentially, giving traders insight into momentum and trend persistence.
Visual Clarity: The script uses colored pivot points, trend lines, and extension labels for easy structural interpretation.
🔵 FEATURES
Calculates pivot highs and lows using a customizable length.
Applies an angle modifier (ATR-based) to gradually pull levels closer to price.
Plots breakout and breakdown lines in distinct colors with automatic extension.
Shows deviation zones (+1, +2, +3 or −1, −2, −3) after breakout with customizable size.
Color-coded labels for trend break count (bullish or bearish).
Dynamic label sizing and theme-aware colors.
Smart label positioning to avoid chart clutter.
Built-in limit for deviation zones to maintain clarity and performance.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use pivot-based market structure to identify breakout and breakdown zones.
Watch for crossover (up) or crossunder (down) events as trend continuation or reversal signals.
Observe +1/+2/+3 or -1/-2/-3 levels for overextension opportunities or trailing stop ideas.
Use breakout count as a proxy for trend strength—multiple counts suggest momentum.
Combine with volume or order flow tools for higher confidence entries at breakout points.
Adjust the angle setting to fine-tune sensitivity based on market volatility.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Angle Market Structure enhances traditional pivot-based analysis by introducing breakout acceleration and structured deviation tracking. It’s a powerful tool for traders seeking a cleaner, faster read on market structure and momentum strength—especially during impulsive price moves or structural transitions. Indicator
Choch Pattern Levels [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Choch Pattern Levels indicator automatically detects Change of Character (CHoCH) shifts in market structure — crucial moments that often signal early trend reversals or major directional transitions. It plots the structural break level, visualizes the pattern zone with triangle overlays, and tracks delta volume to help traders assess the strength behind each move.
🔵 CONCEPTS
CHoCH Pattern: A bullish CHoCH forms when price breaks a previous swing high after a swing low, while a bearish CHoCH appears when price breaks a swing low after a prior swing high.
Break Level Mapping: The indicator identifies the highest or lowest point between the pivot and the breakout, marking it with a clean horizontal level where price often reacts.
Delta Volume Tracking: Net bullish or bearish volume is accumulated between the pivot and the breakout, revealing the momentum and conviction behind each CHoCH.
Chart Clean-Up: If price later closes through the CHoCH level, the zone is automatically removed to maintain clarity and focus on active setups only.
🔵 FEATURES
Automatic CHoCH pattern detection using pivot-based logic.
Triangle shapes show structure break: pivot → breakout → internal high/low.
Horizontal level marks the structural zone with a ◯ symbol.
Optional delta volume label with directional sign (+/−).
Green visuals for bullish CHoCHs, red for bearish.
Fully auto-cleaning invalidated levels to reduce clutter.
Clean organization of all lines, labels, and overlays.
User-defined Length input to adjust pivot sensitivity.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use CHoCH levels as early trend reversal zones or confirmation signals.
Treat bullish CHoCHs as support zones, bearish CHoCHs as resistance.
Look for high delta volume to validate the strength behind each CHoCH.
Combine with other BigBeluga tools like supply/demand, FVGs, or liquidity maps for confluence.
Adjust pivot Length based on your strategy — shorter for intraday, longer for swing trading.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Choch Pattern Levels highlights key structural breaks that can mark the start of new trends. By combining precise break detection with volume analytics and automatic cleanup, it provides actionable insights into the true intent behind price moves — giving traders a clean edge in spotting early reversals and key reaction zones.

Market Structure MTF Trend [Pt]█ Author's Notes
There are numerous market structure indicators in the PulseWire library, each offering a unique approach to identifying price action shifts. Market Structure MTF Trend was created with simplicity and flexibility in mind—providing a highly customizable multi-timeframe setup, visually clear trendlines, and straightforward labeling. This combination helps both new and experienced traders easily spot and interpret market structure changes.
█ Overview
Market Structure MTF Trend is a powerful yet user-friendly indicator designed to identify and visualize key turning points in price action. It focuses on two core concepts:
Change of Character (CHoCH): A momentary shift in the market’s behavior, signaling that the current price movement may be losing momentum and could soon reverse.
Break of Structure (BoS): A more definitive event confirming a new price pattern, where the market establishes a fresh trend direction by surpassing previous swing highs or lows.
By combining these signals across up to four different timeframes, even traders unfamiliar with market structure can quickly learn to spot and validate potential trend reversals or continuations.
█ Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Monitors CHoCH and BoS events simultaneously on multiple intervals (e.g., 15m, 30m, 60m, 240m), providing a clear, layered understanding of market dynamics.
Straightforward Visual Cues: Labels are placed directly on the chart at swing highs and lows, while colored bars at the bottom give an instant snapshot of whether each timeframe is bullish or bearish.
Configurable Timeframes & Pivot Strength: Easily set up the desired intervals and adjust pivot strength to tune how sensitive the indicator is to minor price fluctuations.
Color-Coded Signals: Different colors help you distinguish between potential early reversals (CHoCH) and confirmed shifts (BoS), ensuring each signal’s importance is immediately clear.
█ Usage & Benefits
Learn Market Structure Basics: For those new to swing highs/lows, CHoCH, and BoS, the script’s on-chart labels and dynamic bar coloring provide a practical, visual way to grasp these concepts.
Spot Reversals Early: CHoCH alerts you to possible shifts in momentum, allowing you to anticipate trend changes before they fully develop.
Confirm Trend Breaks: BoS events confirm that the market has established a new directional bias, reinforcing higher‐probability entry or exit points.
Reduce Noise & Stay Focused: The multi-timeframe setup ensures you won’t overlook larger trends or get lost in smaller fluctuations.
Streamline Decision-Making: Color-coded bars let you gauge overall market sentiment at a glance—ideal for quickly validating trades without juggling multiple charts.
Market Structure MTF Trend is perfect for traders who want to learn or refine their understanding of price action. By integrating multiple timeframes into a single, cohesive interface, this tool highlights both subtle shifts and confirmed breaks in market structure, empowering you to trade with greater insight and confidence.
