SATTAM | CRT+TBSOVERVIEW
A rule-based implementation of Candle Range Theory (CRT) combined with Turtle Body Soup (TBS). It reads the setup on a higher timeframe, requires a key level for context, waits for a liquidity sweep, then marks the entry and manages the trade on your current chart.
HOW IT WORKS
Seven stages are evaluated in order. A failure at any stage cancels everything downstream.
1. Higher timeframe selection — automatic pairing (a 5m chart reads 4H, a 1H chart reads Daily), or set manually
2. Key level detection — Old High, Old Low, Order Block, Fair Value Gap
3. CRT detection — accumulation, manipulation, distribution
4. Time filter — configurable blocked hours
5. TBS confirmation — a body sweep of prior liquidity plus a reversal close
6. Entry model — Model #1, CISD, or MSS+FVG
7. Trade management — stop, three targets, breakeven
THE CRT SEQUENCE
Accumulation — one candle defines the range; its high becomes CRH, its low CRL.
Manipulation — a later candle wicks through the boundary but closes back inside. Direction and target are set here.
Distribution — price travels toward the opposite side.
The decisive rule: the break is made by the wick, with the close returning inside. A close beyond the range is a genuine breakout, not a trap — the setup is invalidated and labelled a reverse CRT.
Four CRT types are classified automatically. The fourth, where price is swept twice, is flagged as a caution and draws its T.S level.
The manipulation is drawn as a zone spanning the candles that carried price past the level and back, so the depth of the sweep is visible rather than implied.
KEY LEVELS
A CRT in isolation is treated as insufficient — the methodology names a missing key level as a primary failure cause. Confluence is required by default and can be disabled.
Display toggles for each zone type control drawing only. Hidden zones are still detected, still satisfy confluence, and still count toward the zone cap. Hiding a zone type never changes which signals fire.
TURTLE BODY SOUP
Two conditions together: a candle closes beyond a prior swing (the sweep is made by the body, not the wick), and a subsequent candle closes back beyond the last opposing candle.
ENTRY MODELS
Model #1 — a full candle closes beyond the previous candle; entry at that close.
CISD — the opening level of the last directional leg is broken; entry on the break.
MSS + FVG — structure breaks with displacement leaving a gap; entry from the gap on the retrace.
All three can run together, or one can be selected. Each fires once per setup.
TRADE MANAGEMENT
Stop sits beyond the manipulation and sweep extremes with an ATR buffer.
Targets follow the range rather than fixed risk multiples:
TP1 — the range midpoint, the 50% level the methodology marks in its diagrams
TP2 — the opposite extreme, the target the methodology names; risk-to-reward is measured here
TP3 — an extension beyond the range, by a configurable multiple
A target that does not sit beyond the entry is dropped rather than drawn behind price. Once TP1 trades through, the stop moves to entry. The stop is checked before the targets on each bar, so a bar touching both is reported as the loss.
ADDITIONAL MODULES
Accumulation and Distribution — detects range compression and classifies it by which way price finally leaves.
Sweep — marks wick raids on internal pivots that no close has broken, with a cooldown so the same area is not reported repeatedly.
Daily Bias — previous day and previous week high and low, each anchored to the candle that made it and extended with price, plus unmitigated swing points.
DASHBOARD AND ALERTS
An on-chart table reports the higher timeframe in use, CRT stage and type, direction, CRH and CRL, the three targets, live trade state, key level type, active entry model, daily bias, and time filter status.
Seventeen alert conditions cover every stage from CRT formation through target completion.
REPAINTING
Higher timeframe data is requested with a one-bar offset so only closed higher timeframe candles are used. Signals are evaluated on bar close by default. The script does not repaint under these settings. Disabling the bar-close option allows intrabar signals, which can change before the candle completes — this is stated in the setting's tooltip.
NOTES
The blocked-hours defaults follow the source methodology, which does not state a reference timezone. The timezone input therefore defaults to New York and should be adjusted to your own reference.
Interface labels are bilingual. Text drawn on the chart switches between Arabic and English; setting names show both, because Pine requires input titles to be known at compile time.
This script implements the CRT+TBS methodology as published by its original author. Credit for the underlying concepts belongs to that source; the Pine implementation is my own.
This is an analysis tool. It organises a discretionary method into explicit rules and visible states — it does not predict outcomes and is not a signal service. Position sizing and risk management remain entirely the responsibility of the user. Test on historical data and in simulation before applying to a live account.
نظرة عامة
تطبيق قائم على القواعد لنظرية نطاق الشمعة (CRT) مدمجاً مع حساء جسم السلحفاة (TBS). يقرأ الإعداد على فريم كبير، ويشترط منطقة اهتمام، وينتظر سحب السيولة، ثم يحدد الدخول ويدير الصفقة على شارتك.
آلية العمل
سبع مراحل متسلسلة. فشل أي مرحلة يُلغي ما بعدها.
١. اختيار الفريم الكبير — ترابط تلقائي حسب جدول المنهج، أو يدوي
٢. رصد مناطق الاهتمام — قمة سابقة، قاع سابق، أوردر بلوك، فجوة سعرية
٣. رصد الـCRT — تجميع، تلاعب، توزيع
٤. فلتر الأوقات الممنوعة
٥. تأكيد الـTBS
٦. مودل الدخول
٧. إدارة الصفقة
تسلسل الـCRT
تجميع — شمعة تحدد النطاق، قمتها CRH وقاعها CRL.
تلاعب — شمعة لاحقة يخترق ويكها الحد ثم يعود الإغلاق داخل النطاق. هنا يُحدَّد الاتجاه والهدف.
توزيع — السعر يقصد الطرف المقابل.
القاعدة الحاسمة: الاختراق بالويك والإغلاق راجع داخل النطاق. أما الإغلاق خارجه فاختراق حقيقي لا فخ — ويُلغى الإعداد ويوصف بـ«CRT عكسي».
تُصنَّف الأنواع الأربعة تلقائياً. والرابع، حيث يُسحب السعر مرتين، يُعلَّم كتحذير ويُرسم مستوى T.S الخاص به.
ويُرسم التلاعب منطقةً تغطي الشمعات التي تجاوزت الحد وعادت، فيظهر عمق السحب بدل أن يُستنتج.
مناطق الاهتمام
الـCRT وحده غير كافٍ — فالمنهج يعدّ غياب منطقة الاهتمام سبباً رئيسياً للفشل. الاشتراط مفعّل افتراضياً ويمكن إطفاؤه.
مفاتيح إظهار كل نوع تتحكم بالرسم وحده. المناطق المخفية تُرصد وتُحقق شرط الالتقاء وتُحتسب في الحد. إخفاء نوع لا يغيّر الإشارات إطلاقاً.
حساء جسم السلحفاة
شرطان معاً: إغلاق شمعة يتجاوز قمة أو قاعاً سابقاً — السحب بالجسم لا بالويك — ثم إغلاق شمعة لاحقة خلف آخر شمعة معاكسة.
مودلات الدخول
Model #1 — إغلاق شمعة كاملة خلف السابقة، والدخول عند ذلك الإغلاق.
CISD — كسر مستوى فتح آخر موجة، والدخول فور الكسر.
MSS + FVG — كسر بنيوي بإزاحة تخلّف فجوة، والدخول من الفجوة عند الارتداد.
تعمل الثلاثة معاً أو يُختار واحد. كل مودل يُطلق مرة واحدة لكل إعداد.
إدارة الصفقة
الوقف خلف أقصى امتداد للتلاعب والسحب، مع هامش محسوب بالـATR.
الأهداف تتبع الرنج لا مضاعفات ثابتة للمخاطرة:
TP1 — منتصف الرنج، وهو مستوى ٥٠٪ الذي يعلّمه المنهج في رسوماته
TP2 — الطرف المقابل، هدف المنهج المعلن، وعليه تُقاس نسبة المخاطرة للعائد
TP3 — امتداد بعد الرنج بمضاعف قابل للتعديل
الهدف الذي لا يقع خلف سعر الدخول يُهمَل بدل رسمه خلف السعر. وعند تحقق TP1 ينتقل الوقف لنقطة التعادل. ويُفحص الوقف قبل الأهداف في كل شمعة، فالشمعة التي تلمس الاثنين تُحتسب خسارة.
وحدات إضافية
التجميع والتوزيع — يرصد انضغاط النطاق ويصنّفه باتجاه خروج السعر منه.
سحب السيولة — يعلّم غارات الويك على نقاط داخلية لم يكسرها إغلاق، مع فترة تهدئة تمنع تكرار الإشارة.
الانحياز اليومي — أعلى وأدنى اليوم والأسبوع السابقين، كل مستوى مربوط بالشمعة التي صنعته وممتد مع السعر، مع نقاط التأرجح غير المستهلكة.

Asian Range Liquidity Sweep - Kill Zone ReversalASIAN RANGE LIQUIDITY SWEEP — the complete ICT Asian Range liquidity model in one indicator
The Asia session builds a small, quiet range. London opens, runs the stops sitting above or below that range, and then walks the price the other way. That single move is one of the most repeatable things in FX, and this indicator is the full rule set for it: the range, the liquidity raid, the higher-timeframe point of interest that makes the raid tradeable, the entry, the stop, the targets — and, just as important, the days on which the raid will NOT happen.
Everything is drawn in New York time, the way the model is defined.
━━━ WHAT IT DOES ━━━
① ASIAN RANGE (20:00 – 00:00 New York)
A time based range, not a structural one. The box, its high, its low and its 50 % are projected forward into the whole trading day. The high is buy side liquidity, the low is sell side liquidity. Direction is mechanical and never inverts: above the range this model only sells, below the range it only buys.
② HIGHER TIMEFRAME POI ENGINE — the filter that decides everything
A raid of the Asian high on its own is, most of the time, a trap. The raid only becomes high probability when it lands inside a higher-timeframe point of interest. The indicator scans three timeframes at once (15m / 1h / 4h by default) for
· Fair Value Gaps
· Order Blocks
· Breaker Blocks (a demand block that price closed through and that now acts as resistance)
· Inverse Fair Value Gaps (a bullish gap that got closed through and flipped bearish)
Every zone is anchored to the exact candles that built it, is extended while it is alive, and is dropped once it is used up or once it sits too far from the daily range to matter. On top of that, the higher-timeframe structure itself has to agree: bearish structure for shorts, bullish for longs.
③ LONDON KILL ZONE (02:00 – 05:00, optional 01:30 start) — Trade 1
Between those hours the indicator waits for price to raid the Asian high (or low) INTO one of those zones. A raid is not even accepted as valid until price has traded back into a fair value gap. Then it waits for a lower-timeframe confirmation and enters at a point of interest — never at market:
· MSS + FVG — market structure shift, entry on the retracement into the gap
· CISD — change in state of delivery, entry back at the CISD level itself
· FVG tap — proximal edge on small gaps, 50 % on big ones
· HIDDEN ORDER BLOCK — the opposite-colour candle trapped between two same-direction fair value gaps. The block almost nobody marks, and the sharpest entry in the whole model
That list is a risk ladder: 1m MSS+FVG is the most aggressive and pays the most, 15m FVG is the safest, wins most often and pays the least. Pick the timeframe you actually want to trade and run the indicator there.
Stop goes on the protective structure that belongs to the entry zone. Target 1 is always the opposite side of the Asian range. Target 2 extends to the next inducement swing — the draw for the day.
④ NEW YORK KILL ZONE (07:00 – 10:00) — Trade 2, the continuation
When the London raid then breaks the OPPOSITE side of the Asian range with displacement, the London extreme is very likely the high or the low of the day. The indicator draws the optimal trade entry fibonacci over that impulse — 0.5 / 0.618 / 0.705 / 0.79 — and takes the continuation from the retracement into it, with the stop beyond 0.79 or 1.0. The setup is strongest when the origin zone was a 4h zone, because the whole day is then a 4h market-maker model running internal to external. If the draw on liquidity was already reached before New York opens, the day is flagged as low probability and skipped.
⑤ THE NO-SWEEP FILTERS — the part almost nobody explains
Two situations mean the raid you are waiting for will never come:
· HTF POI ALREADY TAPPED IN ASIA — price worked into the zone during the Asian session and then broke structure against the range. The Asian high is now protected. The indicator says so on the chart and points you at the fallbacks instead: the 50 % of the range, an internal range high (trend line liquidity), or a fair value gap built inside the Asian session.
· STRONG HIGH / STRONG LOW INSIDE THE RANGE — a sweep immediately followed by a break of structure. That extreme is protected. What looks like equal highs later on is a rejection-block reversal, not a raid. Wait for the sweep and you miss the trade.
⑥ NEWS FILTER
High-impact US news in the New York session turns London into a range or a one-way run with no reversal. Pine cannot read a news feed, so paste the dates and those days are skipped.
━━━ WHY EVERY SIGNAL EXPLAINS ITSELF ━━━
Hover any signal pill and you get the full reasoning, not a label:
the range and its size, the exact price the liquidity was raided at, which point of interest it landed in, what the higher timeframe structure was doing, which confirmation fired, whether the raid was validated by a fair value gap, plus entry, stop, both targets, risk in pips, reward in pips and the R multiple.
Setups that were found but rejected are explained too. A "NO TRADE" tag tells you the raid, the zone and the confirmation were all there but the reward did not pay for the stop — so you learn the filter instead of wondering why nothing fired.
Every zone, every structure event, the range lines, the OTE levels and both education cards carry the same kind of tooltip. There is a HOW TO READ THIS card and an honest BEFORE YOU TRADE THIS card on the chart.
━━━ COCKPIT PANEL ━━━
Live session state, symbol, chart timeframe, higher-timeframe bias, the full Asian range with a PROTECTED / OPEN flag on each side, an eight-step checklist that fills in as the setup builds, the open position with stop and target, a large status line, a rough win / loss / break-even tracker and the timestamp of the last signal.
━━━ ALERTS AND AUTOMATION ━━━
Every event fires a clean JSON payload ready for a webhook — entry, stop, both targets, the range boundaries, the point of interest that produced the signal, symbol, exchange, timeframe, volume and an optional account field. Events: ENTRY, TP1, SL, BE, SWEEP, RANGE. Five plain-language alertconditions are included as well for anybody who just wants a notification.
━━━ SETTINGS WORTH KNOWING ━━━
· Sessions are fully configurable if your broker feed needs a different reference
· Turn individual POI types and POI timeframes on and off
· Choose one confirmation model or let it take the first valid trigger
· Four stop modes, two-target management, break-even at a chosen R
· Full chart theme with navy background, mint / red candles and session shading — or switch it off and keep your own
━━━ HONEST NOTES ━━━
This model is mechanical up to the trigger. Direction is fixed and never inverts, the windows are fixed, the filters are fixed — but the final judgement, is this really the high of the session, stays discretionary. Anybody telling you a setup is 100 % mechanical is selling you something.
Expect zero to four setups a day across two pairs, roughly 20 pips average per trade, and losing days. Judge it weekly and monthly, never daily. The safest entry model fires rarely by design; the aggressive ones fire more and stop out more.
The win / loss counter in the panel is a rough on-chart tracker that assumes a fill at the marked price and resolves target before stop within the same bar. It is not a backtest and it is not a performance claim.
This indicator is a study tool. It is not financial advice.
━━━ CREDIT ━━━
The rule set follows the well-known ICT Asian-sweep model as it is taught publicly in the ICT community. The implementation, the point-of-interest engine, the no-sweep filters, the panel and the design are original work.
Open source — read it, change it, learn from it.
WHY THESE PARTS BELONG TOGETHER
The session range, the higher-timeframe point of interest and the lower-timeframe confirmation form
a single filter chain, and the model does not work with any link missing. The range supplies the
liquidity pool that is going to be raided, the higher-timeframe zone decides whether that raid is a
reversal or a trap, and the lower-timeframe trigger decides when. A raid without a zone is noise,
a zone without a raid has nothing to react to, and both without a trigger have no entry.

TL Structure Pro - Mechanical SMC Engine: BOS, CHoCH, SweepsTL STRUCTURE PRO — Mechanical Smart Money Concepts (SMC) Engine: Market Structure, BOS/CHoCH, Liquidity Sweeps, Supply & Demand POI, FVG, Sessions, Signals & Webhook Automation
WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES
TL Structure Pro turns a complete, fully mechanical Smart Money Concepts (SMC) trading model into one indicator. It automates the exact rule set many price-action traders apply manually: market structure mapping (HH/HL/LL/LH), Break of Structure (BOS), Change of Character (CHoCH), liquidity sweeps, supply and demand points of interest (POI), fair value gaps (FVG/imbalance), session timing (Asia / Frankfurt / London), a two-step entry model with internal realignment, and rule-based trade management with break-even logic — all with zero discretion and zero repainting (the engine only works on confirmed/closed candles).
Every element is drawn and labeled directly on the chart, so you can SEE why each signal happened: every zone is named, every structure point is tagged, and every BUY/SELL label explains its own reason.
THE MECHANICAL RULE SET (HOW IT THINKS)
1. BREAK & CLOSE RULE — A swing high/low only counts as broken when a candle BREAKS AND CLOSES beyond it. A wick through the level without a close is NOT a break.
2. LIQUIDATION ($) — If price wicks beyond a swing but fails to close beyond it, the indicator prints a "$" marker: that was a liquidity sweep / liquidity grab, not a break. These sweeps often precede reversals.
3. PULLBACK RULE — A new swing high/low is only confirmed after a valid pullback: N opposing candles in a row (default 3) with successive closes. No valid pullback = no new structure point; the move is just internal noise.
4. BOS — Break of Structure in the direction of the trend = continuation. Drawn as a gold dashed line with a BOS label.
5. CHoCH — Break & close AGAINST the current direction = Change of Character. Bias flips (bullish <-> bearish). Drawn in pink. After a bearish CHoCH the engine only looks for shorts; after a bullish CHoCH only longs.
6. POI ZONES — On every qualifying break the engine stores two zones: the DECISIONAL candle (last opposing candle before the breaking impulse) and, on CHoCH, the ORIGIN (last opposing candle at the origin of the impulse). Zones are drawn as labeled supply/demand boxes, extended in time, marked as "tapped" on first touch and deleted when invalidated by a close beyond them.
7. FVG / GAPS — Three-candle imbalances above a minimum size are boxed and removed once filled ("gaps get filled").
8. SESSIONS — Asian session, Frankfurt open and the London trade window are boxed with configurable times and timezone (defaults follow GMT+4 / Dubai time as in the original model: London window 11:00–14:00).
THE ENTRY MODEL (WHEN A SIGNAL FIRES)
A signal needs three conditions in sequence — the same checklist is shown live in the cockpit panel:
Step 1 — BIAS: structure must be clearly bullish or bearish (after BOS/CHoCH).
Step 2 — POI TAP: price returns INTO a supply zone (bearish bias) or demand zone (bullish bias) or a matching FVG. The setup is now "armed".
Step 3 — INTERNAL SHIFT (REALIGNMENT): inside the POI, the smaller internal structure (pivot-based, the "lower timeframe inside your chart") must shift in trade direction — a close beyond the last internal pivot. Only then a BUY/SELL label prints.
Risk placement is automatic and printed on the chart:
• ENTRY = close of the trigger candle
• STOP LOSS = POI extreme + a pip buffer (default 3.5 pips — capital preservation first)
• TAKE PROFIT = the weak swing low/high of the current range (structure target)
• R multiple of the setup is calculated and shown on the signal label
• BREAK-EVEN: once the trade runs the configured R distance (default 1R), the panel/alert moves the stop logic to break-even; TP hit, SL hit and BE exit are all labeled on the chart.
THE COCKPIT PANEL
The side panel shows: current bias, the live SMC checklist (structure / pullback / liquidity sweep / POI tap / entry shift / management) with OK-status per rule, active session window, structure timeframe and internal pivot length, SL buffer, current position with entry/SL/TP, the last signal with its R multiple, and a counter of active supply/demand/FVG zones. If a checklist row shows "‥" you immediately know which condition is still missing before the next signal can fire.
HOW TO USE IT — STEP BY STEP
1. Add the indicator to a clean chart. Recommended: liquid FX pairs (GBPUSD, EURUSD), gold (XAUUSD) or indices, timeframes M5–H1 for the session-based model (M15 is the classic choice). It works on any symbol/timeframe; sessions display on intraday charts up to 1h.
2. Set your timezone and session times in group ④ if you do not trade the default GMT+4 windows. Enable "Signals ONLY inside London window" if you want to trade the London session model strictly.
3. Read the structure first: follow the SWING HIGH / SWING LOW lines, the HH/HL/LH/LL tags and the BOS/CHoCH lines until you understand the current bias (also shown in the panel).
4. Watch the zones: price returning into a labeled SUPPLY/DEMAND (DECISIONAL/ORIGIN) box or FVG arms the setup — the panel switches to "ARMED (POI tapped)".
5. Wait for the printed BUY/SELL label — never front-run it. The label shows the R multiple and the reason (POI TAP + SHIFT); the tooltip lists entry, stop and target.
6. Manage by the printed levels: entry line (gold), SL line (pink, includes the pip buffer), TP line (mint, the weak swing). BE marker prints when break-even logic activates.
7. Tune mechanically, not emotionally: "Pullback rule candles" (2–5) controls how strict new structure confirmation is; "Internal pivot length" controls how fine the entry trigger is (smaller = earlier, noisier); "Min gap size" filters small FVGs; "Max zones" limits chart clutter.
8. Hover anything: every label, zone and marker has an explanatory tooltip, so the chart teaches the model while you trade it.
ALERTS & WEBHOOK AUTOMATION
Create ONE alert with condition "Any alert() function call" and paste your webhook URL — the indicator sends ready-to-parse JSON for every event:
{"id":"TL-STRUCTURE-PRO","symbol":"GBPUSD","action":"SELL","price":1.27201,"sl":1.27236,"tp":1.26350,"rr":"24.30","tf":"15","time":"2026-07-18 12:45"}
Actions: BUY, SELL, BREAK_EVEN, TP_HIT, SL_HIT, plus optional BOS_UP/BOS_DOWN/CHOCH_UP/CHOCH_DOWN. This makes the indicator plug-and-play with trade-automation bridges, bots and journaling tools. Classic alertconditions (BUY/SELL/BOS/CHoCH) are also available for simple popup/app notifications.
NON-REPAINT BEHAVIOUR
All structure logic, zones and signals are computed on CONFIRMED candles only (barstate.isconfirmed). Once printed, BOS/CHoCH lines, zones and signal labels do not repaint. Alerts fire on bar close.
NOTES
• The R multiples shown are the structural setup quality, not a performance promise. Nothing here is financial advice — backtest and forward-test before risking money.
• The panel is a table: if your main chart series is set above indicators, use right-click on the indicator legend -> Visual order -> Bring to front.
• Best visual experience with the dark PulseWire theme (the indicator brings its own navy chart theme, mint/red candles and paints the future margin).

Indicator
TL Elliott Wave Pro - Rule Checked 12345 ABC Count + Fibs + FVGTL ELLIOTT WAVE PRO — the complete Elliott Wave rule set in one indicator: the count, the three golden rules, the three guidelines, all four fibonacci tools and the fair value gap that turns a level into a trade.
Elliott Wave is usually taught as a picture and traded as a feeling. This indicator turns it into something you can actually check: it labels the impulse, it tells you which of the three golden rules currently hold, it measures every wave against the fibonacci relationships the theory is built on, and the moment a rule breaks it says so instead of quietly redrawing the count into something that still looks right.
Everything below comes from the classic rule set. Nothing is invented, nothing is hidden.
━━━ ① THE WAVE COUNT ━━━
A ZigZag builds the alternating pivot sequence, and the engine reads the most recent structure the rules allow:
· ①②③④⑤ — the five wave impulse: three impulses with the trend, two corrections against it
· ⒶⒷⒸ — the correction that follows: an impulse down, a correction up, an impulse down
Impulse legs are drawn SOLID, corrective legs DASHED. That is not decoration — it is the definition the whole model rests on: impulsive waves are larger and move with the trend, corrective waves are smaller and move against it. The wave that has not happened yet is projected as a dotted gold line straight to its first fibonacci target.
Finished counts are frozen in faded gold exactly where they were found, so you can scroll back through the chart and study how the reading developed instead of only seeing today's answer.
━━━ ② THE THREE GOLDEN RULES — a hard validity gate ━━━
❶ Wave 3 must be the longest impulse wave, and it can never be the shortest
❷ Wave 2 must not surpass the start of wave 1
❸ Wave 4 cannot overlap with wave 1's price territory
Each rule gets a live ✓ / ✗ in the panel. If one of them breaks the count is not "weaker" — it is invalid, and the indicator behaves accordingly: the setup is cancelled, a COUNT INVALID tag goes on the chart with the reason, an alert fires, and the next confirmed pivot starts a fresh count. Rule 1 has a strict and a relaxed reading, switchable in the settings.
━━━ ③ THE THREE GUIDELINES — a soft quality score ━━━
❶ When wave 3 extends as the longest impulse wave, wave 5 typically approximates the length of wave 1
❷ Wave 2 and wave 4 alternate between a flat and a sharp correction — the indicator classifies each correction by depth and duration and shows you the pair, e.g. S / F
❸ After a five wave impulse advance, ABC corrections commonly end near the prior extreme of wave 4 — that level is projected as the C target
Guidelines are informational by default, because that is what they are. You can require one, two or all three before a signal is allowed to fire.
━━━ ④ THE FOUR FIBONACCI TOOLS, WITH THEIR CORRECT ANCHORS ━━━
Wave 2 retracement — 0 % at the end of wave 1, 100 % at its start
· typical 50.0 % and 61.8 %, plus the 60 % average line
Wave 3 extension of wave 1 — projected from the wave 2 extreme
· typical 161.8 % and 261.8 %
Wave 4 retracement — 0 % at the end of wave 3, 100 % at its start
· typical 23.6 %, 38.2 % and 50.0 %, plus the 30–40 % average band
Wave 5 — two separate targets
· 100 % of wave 1 projected from the wave 4 extreme
· 161.8 % of wave 4, anchored 0 % at the wave 4 extreme and 100 % at the wave 3 extreme
The level the market actually turned at is highlighted in gold, and the panel prints the measured value next to the expected one, so you can see at a glance whether this count is textbook or stretched.
━━━ ⑤ +FVG — the confluence that makes it a trade ━━━
A fibonacci zone on its own is a level. A fair value gap sitting inside that zone is a reason. The indicator scans for unfilled three-candle gaps inside the wave 2 and the wave 4 retracement zone, draws them as a +FVG box, and marks the signal accordingly. You can leave it as a quality tag or make it mandatory.
━━━ ⑥ THE TRADES — always in the direction of the impulse ━━━
Trading in the direction of the impulse waves is what pays, so that is all this indicator signals:
WAVE 3 ENTRY — buy the wave 2 correction in an uptrend, sell it in a downtrend
· stop behind the wave 2 pivot, or at the rule 2 invalidation
· TP1 161.8 % of wave 1, TP2 261.8 % of wave 1
WAVE 5 ENTRY — buy the wave 4 correction, sell it in a downtrend
· stop behind the wave 4 pivot, or at the rule 3 invalidation
· TP1 wave 5 = wave 1, TP2 161.8 % of wave 4
Three trigger models per trade: momentum close out of the zone, zone tap for limit-style entries, or a break of the last minor swing for the latest and safest fill. Minimum reward/risk filter, ATR stop buffer, break even at a chosen R. The counter-trend ABC entry exists but is OFF by default, on purpose.
━━━ WHY EVERY SIGNAL EXPLAINS ITSELF ━━━
Hover any signal pill and you get the full reasoning: the exact count with its prices, which golden rules hold, how deep the correction actually went against the typical values, which guidelines are satisfied, whether a fair value gap was inside the zone, plus entry, stop, both targets, risk in pips, reward in pips and the R multiple.
Every wave label carries its own tooltip — what that wave is, how far it travelled, which rule it has to respect and whether it does. Every fibonacci line explains its anchoring. Setups that were found and then rejected get a NO TRADE tag with the reason, so you learn the filter instead of wondering why nothing fired. There is a HOW TO READ THIS card and an honest BEFORE YOU TRADE THIS card on the chart.
━━━ COCKPIT PANEL ━━━

━━━ ALERTS AND AUTOMATION ━━━
Every event fires a clean JSON payload ready for a webhook: entry, stop, both targets, the direction of the count, the measured wave 2 retracement, the wave 3 extension, the wave 4 retracement, which rules held, whether an FVG was present, the R multiple, symbol, exchange, timeframe, volume and an optional account field. Events: ENTRY, TP1, SL, BE, INVALID, IMPULSE_COMPLETE. Six plain-language alertconditions are included as well for anybody who just wants a notification.
━━━ SETTINGS WORTH KNOWING ━━━
· ZigZag pivot strength and a minimum swing size in ATR — this pair decides the degree of the count and therefore everything else
· Every fibonacci percentage is editable
· Rule 1 strict or relaxed, rules 2 and 3 on or off, kill-on-invalidation on or off
· FVG optional or mandatory, minimum gap size in ATR
· Full TL chart theme: navy background, mint / red candles, corrective legs dimmed — or switch it off and keep your own
· Panel, animated 3D logo and the right-hand extension of the lines are all configurable
Tip: if the candles cover the panel, right click the indicator → Visual order → Bring to front. That is a PulseWire layer setting, not something Pine can control.
━━━ HONEST NOTES ━━━
Elliott Wave is not a standalone technique, and its subjective nature has put a lot of traders off it. Two competent analysts label the same chart differently. This indicator picks ONE reading — the most recent one the three golden rules allow — and tells you the moment that reading dies. It does not pretend the ambiguity is gone.
The count re-reads itself on every new pivot. A label that moves is not a bug; it is the engine refusing to defend a count the market has stopped supporting.
The ZigZag pivot strength decides everything. Too small and you count noise, too large and you only see the count after the move is over. Change it and watch the whole picture change — that is the honest lesson of Elliott Wave, and no indicator can take it away from you.
The percentages are averages, not laws. Corrections come in slightly smaller and slightly larger than the textbook numbers all the time.
The win / loss counter in the panel is a rough on-chart tracker. It assumes a fill at the marked price and resolves target before stop inside the same bar. It is not a backtest and it is not a performance claim.
This indicator is a study tool. It is not financial advice.
━━━ CREDIT ━━━
The rule set is classic Elliott Wave Theory as it is taught publicly. The wave engine, the rule and guideline checks, the fibonacci anchoring, the FVG confluence, the panel and the design are original work.

Indicator
ICT Entry Model Liquidity Sweep, MSS & FVG [LunqFX]A smart-money entry is never a single signal — it is a sequence. Price runs the stops beyond a swing, structure shifts the other way, and the entry is taken from the imbalance that shift left behind. Most ICT indicators draw one of those pieces and leave you to assemble the rest by hand. This one tracks the whole sequence live and finishes it with an actual trade: entry, stop, target and a quality score that tells you whether the setup was worth taking at all.
❶ THE FOUR STAGES
▸ LIQUIDITY SWEEP — price trades beyond a swing high or low, takes the stops resting there, and closes back inside. The sweep is marked and the level it raided is drawn. This is the manipulation leg, and it is where the stop for the trade will sit.
▸ MSS (MARKET STRUCTURE SHIFT) — after the sweep, price closes through the last short-term swing in the opposite direction. This is the confirmation that the sweep was a reversal and not a continuation. Note that the shift is measured against internal structure, not the major swing: waiting for a major swing to break would put the entry far too late, which is the single most common mistake in automated ICT tools.
▸ FVG ENTRY — the displacement that broke structure leaves a three-candle imbalance. That gap is the entry zone, drawn as a box, because price commonly returns to fill it before continuing.
▸ RISK AND TARGET — the stop goes beyond the sweep extreme, the target is your chosen R multiple. Both are drawn as filled zones running back to the entry, so the whole trade reads as one object instead of a set of loose lines.
❷ SETUP QUALITY 0–100
Not every sequence deserves a trade, and this is where the indicator does something no other entry tool does. Every setup is graded on four measurable properties:
▸ SWEEP DEPTH — how far beyond the level price actually ran, in ATR. A deeper raid means more stops were genuinely taken. ▸ DISPLACEMENT — how decisively the structure was broken, in ATR. A weak break is a weak setup. ▸ FVG SIZE — how large the imbalance is. A bigger gap is a stronger entry. ▸ SPEED — how quickly the shift followed the sweep. A fast reversal is aggressive; a slow one has lost its edge.
The four are blended into a single 0–100 score shown on every entry tag and in the dashboard. Set the minimum quality in the settings and weak sequences simply stop being drawn — you trade the good ones instead of every arrow.
❸ HOW TO TRADE IT
1 — Wait for the SWEEP marker. The dashboard turns amber and reads SWEEP · WAITING MSS. Nothing to do yet: the manipulation has happened but it is not confirmed.
2 — Wait for MSS. When structure shifts, the setup is drawn and the dashboard turns green for a long or red for a short. If structure does not shift within the allowed window, the sweep is discarded and the model resets — no stale signals.
3 — Check the quality score before committing. High scores come from a deep sweep, a decisive break and a clean imbalance. If the number is low, the sequence was technically valid but structurally weak.
4 — Place the trade from the ticket. Entry at the FVG edge, stop beyond the sweep, target at your R multiple. The dashboard shows all three plus the exact risk in price, so the position size follows directly.
5 — Let price come to you. The FVG is a limit entry, not a market entry. If price never returns to the gap, the setup is simply skipped — that is the model working as intended.
❹ HOW IT WORKS
Liquidity swings and internal structure are detected with confirmed pivots, so a level only exists once the bars on both sides of it have closed. A sweep requires a bar to trade beyond the swing and close back inside it, and it is only registered when the shift level is still unbroken — otherwise the sequence could confirm itself on the very next bar. The structure shift requires a close through that internal level within your chosen window. The imbalance is found in the displacement leg using the standard three-candle definition. The stop is the sweep extreme, the target is the entry plus or minus the risk times your R multiple, and setups whose stop would be smaller than a fraction of ATR are rejected as untradeable. The quality score is a weighted blend of the four properties above, each normalised by ATR so the score behaves the same on every symbol and timeframe.
Works on any market and timeframe — forex, gold, indices, crypto and stocks. Intraday charts from 5m to 4h suit the model best, since that is where liquidity raids and structure shifts happen most often.
SETTINGS — liquidity swing length, internal structure length, maximum bars from sweep to shift, R multiple for the target, minimum stop distance, minimum quality, number of setups kept, level extension, FVG and level visibility, candle colouring and dashboard position.
ALERTS — long setup confirmed, short setup confirmed, and any setup confirmed. All fire on closed bars only.
NON-REPAINTING — every stage is validated on bar close and built from confirmed pivots. A setup that has printed never moves, never changes its levels and never disappears.
The four stages are not four indicators bundled together — they are four steps of one entry model, and none of them is tradeable alone. The sweep without the shift is just a wick; the shift without the sweep is just a break; the imbalance without either is just a gap. That is why they belong in a single tool.
This indicator is an educational market-analysis tool, not financial advice. The quality score describes the structure of a setup and does not predict its outcome. Always confirm with your own analysis and manage your risk. Indicator
Nested FVG ProNested FVG Pro identifies a specific ICT confluence — a 1-minute Fair Value Gap forming inside an active 5-minute Fair Value Gap — and manages a complete multi-contract trade plan around each signal, with journalling that models how automated orders actually fill rather than assuming ideal prices.
HOW IT WORKS
5-minute context. The script aggregates 1-minute bars into rolling 5-minute candles and scans each completed triplet for a displacement gap: a bullish FVG (BISI) exists where the current candle's low sits above the high from two candles back; bearish (SIBI) is the mirror. Gaps must exceed a minimum size in points — set against your stop distance, so an imbalance smaller than meaningful displacement never becomes context. Qualifying zones are drawn and tracked.
Zone lifecycle. A zone is invalidated when price closes through its far side. Invalidated zones are not deleted immediately: they stop extending, dim, and remain on the chart for a configurable number of bars so past signals can be audited, and they are never removed while a trade is open. An active-zone cap per direction prevents stacking — in a sustained trend, zones pointing with the trend are never closed through, so without a cap they accumulate all session and progressively bias signal generation toward chasing the move.
Inversion mode (IFVG). A gap that price has closed through has failed. ICT treats the violated gap as flipped: a bullish FVG closed below becomes resistance, a bearish FVG closed above becomes support. In IFVG mode the invalidation event flips the zone's direction instead of retiring it, and signals are then taken as price returns into the zone from the other side. Inverted zones are colour-coded distinctly, expire on a configurable age, and retire permanently if closed through a second time. Signal Source selects virgin gaps, inverted gaps, or both.
1-minute trigger. On each confirmed 1-minute bar the script tests for a fresh 1-minute FVG using the same three-candle definition and its own minimum size. A signal fires only where that gap sits inside an eligible 5-minute zone of matching direction, within a proximity tolerance in points around the zone boundaries. The premise: a small-timeframe imbalance printing inside a larger unmitigated imbalance marks continuation pressure in the direction of the higher-timeframe displacement.
Signal gating. Cooldown between signals; a hardcoded one-trade-at-a-time block; an exchange-session filter; six independently configurable time windows with editable start and end times in a selectable timezone; and a daily loss limit in dollars that blocks new signals once reached. The daily reset and zone purge are driven by a change of CME trade date rather than a session-transition test, so they behave correctly regardless of whether bars print during the session gap.
Trade management. Each signal is managed as a ladder measured in points from the entry: a stop, a partial exit that optionally moves the stop to break-even, a main target, an extended target, and an optional fourth-contract runner target. All distances and per-level contract counts are inputs. A per-trade dollar maximum-loss exit closes the position on a confirmed bar if unrealised loss breaches the limit.
Optional entry laddering. Position size can be split across up to three legs — the signal bar's close, consequent encroachment (the 50% level of the 1-minute gap), and the gap's far edge — all sharing one structural stop, so each deeper leg risks fewer points than the one before. Fills are position-weighted and exit quantities are capped to what actually filled, so a trade that displaces immediately never sends exits for contracts it never bought. The trade-off is explicit: setups that run straight to target fill the smallest size while setups that retrace fill the largest.
Execution-modelled journalling — what makes this different. Most signal trackers book trades at exact level prices. In live automation, alerts fire once per bar close and fill as market orders, so real fills land at the trigger bar's close rather than at the level touched intrabar. This script separates plan levels, which drive the triggers, from booked fills, which drive the accounting: with fill booking enabled, every entry and exit in the Trade Tracker, Hourly and Weekly tables is recorded at the trigger bar's close plus a configurable per-fill slippage, and round-turn commissions are netted from every result. Levels can be anchored to the entry fill rather than the gap boundary, so a 20-point stop is 20 points from the price paid. Break-even moves to the position's weighted average fill, matching what a broker-side breakeven order does. The result is a journal that reconciles with a broker statement instead of an idealised one.
A/B variant lab. A read-only shadow journal replays every signal a second time under a different partial distance and break-even rule, reporting both policies side by side with the difference between them. It places no orders and never touches the live journal — it answers whether an exit-policy change would have helped on your own history rather than a hypothetical one.
MODES
Runner off: 3-contract exit ladder, flat at the extended target. Runner on: a 4th contract rides to the runner target.
Entry ladder off: one full-size entry. On: up to three scale-in legs sharing one stop.
Signal Source: FVG, IFVG, or Both.
A/B lab off by default.
AUTOMATION (OPTIONAL)
The script emits complete JSON webhook payloads for every event — entry with quantity, order type and an optional attached stop so a real protective order rests at the broker; partial with an optional broker-side breakeven action; break-even scratch; each target; stop; and emergency exit — with quantities computed from the position-sizing inputs. One alert with the condition "Any alert() function call" drives all of it. Manual traders can ignore this entirely and trade the on-chart levels.
HOW TO USE
Apply to a 1-minute chart — the script builds its own 5-minute context, and other chart timeframes will not behave correctly. Set your ladder distances and dollar-per-point for the instrument, choose your windows and timezone, set the minimum gap sizes and proximity in points relative to your stop, and set the daily and per-trade loss limits. Signals print as triangles with the full R/R ladder drawn to the right; the Trade Tracker logs every signal's outcome net of modelled costs.
LIMITATIONS & NOTES
Outcome detection is evaluated on confirmed bars; live automated fills are bar-close market orders, which is precisely what the execution-modelled tables account for.
The analytics model execution. A broker statement remains the ground truth.
All distances are in points and are calibrated per instrument. Moving between instruments of different volatility requires rescaling every point input.
Entry laddering requires add-to-position support in your webhook platform.
This is a technical analysis and automation tool, not financial advice. Past behaviour of any configuration does not guarantee future results. Test on simulated accounts before risking capital.
The source is open — read it, fork it, adapt it. If you change the detection or the accounting, the tables will tell you what the change did.
Indicator
FVG ChannelThis script is a modified and expanded derivative of “FVG Channel ” by LuxAlgo. The original FVG detection, active-level aggregation, close-based mitigation, smoothed channel concept, and internal channel-level framework were adapted from that work. This version adds confirmed-bar processing, capped FVG storage, normalized and double-smoothed boundaries, recovery-based signal logic, configurable overextension requirements, signal cooldowns, optional volume confirmation, separate standard and Super classifications, alerts, and simplified historical target/stop measurements. The original work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International licence, and this modified version is distributed under the same licence. It is intended for noncommercial use, and changes from the original implementation have been clearly identified.
### Overview
FVG Channel converts active Fair Value Gap reference levels into a smoothed adaptive price channel.
The script identifies confirmed bullish and bearish FVG structures, stores one reference level from each active gap, removes levels after close-based mitigation, and averages the remaining bullish and bearish references.
These averages are smoothed twice to create the channel boundaries. The channel also includes three configurable internal levels, confirmed recovery signals, optional volume confirmation, standard and Super signal classifications, alerts, target and stop reference lines, and simplified historical outcome tables.
The indicator is designed to help users examine:
* areas where multiple unmitigated FVG references are concentrated;
* price overextension beyond the adaptive channel;
* confirmed recovery back inside the channel;
* stronger wick-extension conditions;
* historical target and stop outcomes under user-selected settings.
The script is intended for standard candlestick or bar charts. It does not predict future prices and does not provide automatic trade instructions.
## Fair Value Gap detection
A bullish FVG is identified when:
* the current low is above the high from two bars earlier;
* the middle candle closes above that earlier high;
* the current chart bar is confirmed.
For each bullish FVG, the script stores the high from two bars earlier as its reference level.
A bearish FVG is identified when:
* the current high is below the low from two bars earlier;
* the middle candle closes below that earlier low;
* the current chart bar is confirmed.
For each bearish FVG, the script stores the low from two bars earlier as its reference level.
The script stores one reference level from each detected FVG. It does not draw or store the complete upper and lower boundaries of every gap zone.
## FVG mitigation
Bullish and bearish FVG references remain active until they are mitigated by a confirmed close.
A bullish FVG reference is removed when price closes below its stored level.
A bearish FVG reference is removed when price closes above its stored level.
Wick contact alone does not remove an FVG reference.
This close-based method is intended to reduce the effect of temporary wick penetration, but it can also keep a level active after price has partially traded through the original gap area.
## Maximum stored FVG levels
The Maximum Stored FVG Levels setting limits the number of bullish and bearish references stored by the script.
When the selected limit is exceeded, the oldest stored reference is removed.
This prevents the arrays from expanding indefinitely on long chart histories.
A larger limit allows more historical FVG references to contribute to the channel but may increase processing requirements.
## Adaptive channel calculation
The active bullish FVG references are averaged.
The active bearish FVG references are averaged separately.
Each average then passes through two consecutive simple moving-average smoothing calculations.
The final channel boundaries are normalized so that:
* the higher smoothed reference becomes the upper boundary;
* the lower smoothed reference becomes the lower boundary.
This prevents the channel boundaries from becoming visually reversed.
When no active bullish or bearish FVG reference is available, the script temporarily substitutes a simple moving average of price for that side of the calculation.
The resulting channel is therefore influenced by active FVG structure when available and by smoothed price when no active reference exists.
## Smoothing Length
The Smoothing Length controls both smoothing passes applied to the FVG reference averages.
A shorter length:
* reacts more quickly to changes in the active FVG structure;
* produces a more responsive channel;
* may create more frequent recovery conditions;
* can be more sensitive to short-term movement.
A longer length:
* creates smoother boundaries;
* reacts more slowly;
* emphasizes broader FVG concentration;
* may produce fewer signals.
The same length is used for both smoothing passes.
## Upper and lower boundaries
The red upper boundary represents the higher of the two smoothed FVG reference calculations.
The green lower boundary represents the lower of the two smoothed calculations.
The boundaries are not traditional support and resistance lines and should not be treated as guaranteed reversal levels.
They represent smoothed averages derived from active FVG references and the price-SMA fallback logic.
## Internal channel levels
The script calculates three configurable levels between the lower and upper boundaries.
The default values are:
* Internal Level 1: 0.236;
* Internal Level 2: 0.500;
* Internal Level 3: 0.786.
Each value represents a proportional position within the current channel range.
For example, Internal Level 2 at 0.500 represents the midpoint between the lower and upper boundaries.
The levels must satisfy:
* Level 1 is below Level 2;
* Level 2 is below Level 3.
All internal-level settings are limited to values between 0 and 1.
The script produces an error when the levels are entered in an invalid order.
## Confirmed recovery signals
The signal system looks for price to remain outside the channel and then recover back inside it.
Signals are confirmed only after the chart bar closes.
### Bullish recovery
A bullish recovery condition requires:
* price to close below the lower boundary for the selected minimum number of consecutive bars;
* price to subsequently cross and close back above the lower boundary;
* the bullish signal cooldown to have expired;
* the optional volume condition to pass.
A green BULL label marks a standard bullish recovery.
This condition indicates that price remained below the adaptive channel and then recovered above its lower boundary.
It does not guarantee that price will continue higher.
### Bearish recovery
A bearish recovery condition requires:
* price to close above the upper boundary for the selected minimum number of consecutive bars;
* price to subsequently cross and close back below the upper boundary;
* the bearish signal cooldown to have expired;
* the optional volume condition to pass.
A red BEAR label marks a standard bearish recovery.
This condition indicates that price remained above the adaptive channel and then recovered below its upper boundary.
It does not guarantee that price will continue lower.
## Minimum Closes Outside Channel
This setting controls how many consecutive confirmed closes must occur beyond a channel boundary before a recovery signal becomes eligible.
For a bullish condition, the required closes must occur below the lower boundary.
For a bearish condition, the required closes must occur above the upper boundary.
A smaller value:
* allows faster recovery signals;
* produces more frequent conditions;
* may include shallower overextensions.
A larger value:
* requires price to remain outside the channel longer;
* produces fewer conditions;
* focuses on more persistent overextensions.
## Standard and Super signals
Each recovery is classified as either a standard signal or a Super signal.
The classifications are mutually exclusive. A Super signal does not also produce a standard label or standard alert.
### Super Bull recovery
A bullish recovery becomes a Super Bull condition when the signal candle’s lower wick extends beyond the lower boundary by at least the configured Super Signal Wick Extension percentage.
A lime SBULL label identifies this condition.
### Super Bear recovery
A bearish recovery becomes a Super Bear condition when the signal candle’s upper wick extends beyond the upper boundary by at least the configured Super Signal Wick Extension percentage.
An orange SBEAR label identifies this condition.
The Super classification measures wick distance beyond the relevant boundary.
It does not independently measure trend strength, probability, expected return, or future reversal quality.
A higher Super threshold creates fewer Super classifications.
A lower threshold creates more frequent Super classifications.
## Signal cooldown
The Signal Cooldown setting controls the minimum number of chart bars required between signals of the same direction.
Bullish and bearish cooldowns are tracked independently.
For example, a bullish signal does not reset the bearish cooldown.
A value of zero allows another same-direction signal as soon as all other requirements are satisfied.
The cooldown reduces repeated signals but does not change the underlying FVG channel.
## Volume confirmation
Volume confirmation is optional.
When enabled, a recovery signal requires current reported volume to be greater than:
* average volume over the selected Volume Lookback;
* multiplied by the Volume Confirmation Multiplier.
A multiplier of 1.0 requires volume to exceed its average.
A multiplier above 1.0 requires comparatively higher volume.
A multiplier below 1.0 creates a less restrictive condition.
Volume information differs between markets and data providers. Some symbols provide centralized transaction volume, while others may provide exchange-specific or tick-volume data.
The volume condition should therefore be interpreted according to the selected market.
## Signal-bar background
Optional background highlighting can be enabled for confirmed signal bars.
Separate colours are available for:
* Bull signals;
* Super Bull signals;
* Bear signals;
* Super Bear signals.
The background highlight is visual only and does not change the signal calculations.
## Signal labels
The indicator displays four possible labels:
* BULL: standard bullish recovery;
* SBULL: Super bullish recovery;
* BEAR: standard bearish recovery;
* SBEAR: Super bearish recovery.
The Signal Offset setting controls the vertical distance between each label and the signal candle.
Labels are plotted for every confirmed signal, even when another historical outcome measurement is already active.
## Alerts
Separate alerts are available for:
* Bull Recovery;
* Super Bull Recovery;
* Bear Recovery;
* Super Bear Recovery.
Standard and Super alerts are exclusive.
Alerts are based on confirmed chart bars, so a signal is not finalized until the bar closes.
When creating a PulseWire alert, using Once Per Bar Close is recommended for consistency with the script’s confirmed-bar logic.
## Historical target and stop measurements
The Historical Outcome Settings provide simplified target and stop measurements for confirmed signals.
This system is not a full PulseWire strategy backtest.
Only one unresolved outcome can be tracked at a time across all four signal types.
Signals can still appear while another outcome is active, but those later signals will not begin additional outcome measurements.
## Target Mode
The available Target Modes are:
* Disabled;
* Percentage;
* Internal Level 1;
* Internal Level 2;
* Internal Level 3.
### Disabled
Historical outcome tracking is turned off.
Signal labels and alerts continue to operate.
### Percentage
The target is calculated as a percentage of the signal bar’s closing price.
Separate target settings are available for standard and Super signals.
### Internal Level targets
The selected internal channel level is used as the target only when it lies beyond the signal close in the expected direction.
For a bullish signal, the internal target must be above the signal close.
For a bearish signal, the internal target must be below the signal close.
When the selected internal level is not positioned in the required direction, no historical outcome is started for that signal.
This prevents the script from creating an invalid target behind the recorded entry price.
## Standard and Super target settings
When Percentage mode is selected:
* Standard Target is used for BULL and BEAR signals;
* Super Target is used for SBULL and SBEAR signals;
* Standard Stop is used for BULL and BEAR signals;
* Super Stop is used for SBULL and SBEAR signals.
Targets and stops are measured from the confirmed signal bar’s closing price.
They are research references only and are not automatically submitted as orders.
## Outcome evaluation
The signal bar’s closing price becomes the recorded reference price.
Target and stop evaluation begins on the following chart bar.
The signal candle’s earlier high and low are therefore not used to determine the outcome after the entry has been recorded at its close.
For bullish measurements:
* the target is reached when a later high touches or exceeds the target;
* the stop is reached when a later low touches or falls below the stop.
For bearish measurements:
* the target is reached when a later low touches or falls below the target;
* the stop is reached when a later high touches or exceeds the stop.
## Target and stop on the same bar
When both the target and stop are touched during the same evaluation bar, the script records a stop outcome.
This conservative rule is used because the script cannot determine the exact intrabar order from standard chart-bar data.
A lower-timeframe price path is not reconstructed.
## Target and stop reference lines
The most recently created target and stop levels can be displayed temporarily on the chart.
The Target/Stop Line Length controls how many bars these references remain visible after they are created.
The display duration does not control how long the historical outcome remains active.
An outcome continues to be evaluated until its target or stop is reached, even after the visual lines disappear.
## Standard outcome table
The standard table reports completed BULL and BEAR measurements.
The format is:
* T: target outcomes;
* S: stop outcomes;
* percentage: target outcomes divided by completed target and stop outcomes.
For example:
BULL T/S: 12/8 (60%)
This means that 12 completed bullish measurements reached their targets and 8 reached their stops.
## Super outcome table
The Super table reports the same measurements separately for SBULL and SBEAR signals.
Super results are not combined with standard signal results.
This allows users to compare the script’s wick-extension classification with the standard recovery classification.
## Meaning of the table percentages
The percentages are simplified historical target-outcome ratios.
They are not:
* guaranteed win rates;
* expected future returns;
* probability forecasts;
* full strategy results;
* proof of profitability.
The calculations do not account for:
* commissions;
* slippage;
* spread;
* liquidity;
* position sizing;
* portfolio equity;
* order rejection;
* realistic execution;
* overlapping positions;
* complete intrabar sequencing.
Only one unresolved measurement is tracked at a time, so not every displayed signal is represented in the tables.
Results depend on the selected:
* symbol;
* timeframe;
* available chart history;
* FVG structure;
* smoothing length;
* minimum outside-bar requirement;
* cooldown;
* volume settings;
* Super threshold;
* target mode;
* target settings;
* stop settings.
Historical results do not imply future performance.
# How to Use
## 1. Use a standard chart
Apply FVG Channel to a standard candlestick or bar chart.
Avoid evaluating signal performance on synthetic chart types such as:
* Heikin Ashi;
* Renko;
* Kagi;
* Point and Figure;
* Range charts.
Synthetic chart prices may not represent directly tradable market prices.
## 2. Begin with the default channel settings
The default Smoothing Length is 20.
This gives the active bullish and bearish FVG reference averages two smoothing passes of 20 bars each.
Observe how the channel behaves on the selected symbol before reducing or increasing the setting.
Use a shorter length when a faster channel is preferred.
Use a longer length when a slower and smoother structure is preferred.
## 3. Read the channel position
Use the upper and lower boundaries to understand where price is trading relative to the smoothed active FVG structure.
Price inside the channel indicates that it is between the two adaptive boundaries.
Price below the lower boundary indicates a lower-channel overextension.
Price above the upper boundary indicates an upper-channel overextension.
An overextension is not a signal by itself.
The script waits for a confirmed recovery back inside the channel.
## 4. Wait for the required outside closes
The default Minimum Closes Outside Channel setting is 5.
For a bullish setup, price must close below the lower boundary for at least five consecutive confirmed bars.
For a bearish setup, price must close above the upper boundary for at least five consecutive confirmed bars.
Changing this value adjusts how persistent the overextension must be.
## 5. Wait for the confirmed recovery
After the required outside closes:
* a bullish condition requires price to cross and close back above the lower boundary;
* a bearish condition requires price to cross and close back below the upper boundary.
The signal is confirmed only when the candle closes.
A temporary intrabar move through the boundary does not create a finalized signal unless the close satisfies the condition.
## 6. Distinguish standard and Super signals
Use the signal labels to identify the classification.
* BULL is a standard bullish recovery.
* SBULL is a bullish recovery with sufficient lower-wick extension.
* BEAR is a standard bearish recovery.
* SBEAR is a bearish recovery with sufficient upper-wick extension.
A Super signal is not automatically better than a standard signal.
It only means that the wick-extension threshold was reached.
## 7. Adjust the Super threshold carefully
The default Super Signal Wick Extension is 15%.
This percentage is measured relative to the relevant channel-boundary price.
A higher value makes Super signals rarer.
A lower value makes them more common.
Review the scale and volatility characteristics of the selected market before changing this setting significantly.
## 8. Use volume confirmation when appropriate
Enable Volume Confirmation when signals should require reported volume above a selected threshold.
A practical starting point is:
* Volume Lookback: 20;
* Volume Confirmation Multiplier: 1.0.
This requires current volume to be above its 20-bar average.
Increase the multiplier for a stricter requirement.
Volume confirmation may be more useful on instruments with reliable volume data.
## 9. Review the internal levels
The internal channel levels can be used as visual reference points within the adaptive range.
The default levels represent approximately:
* 23.6%;
* 50%;
* 78.6%.
They can help show where price is positioned inside the current channel.
They are not guaranteed support, resistance, or profit targets.
## 10. Review wider market context
Before interpreting a recovery label, examine:
* the broader trend;
* nearby support and resistance;
* volatility;
* channel direction;
* channel width;
* recent price structure;
* active session conditions;
* available volume quality;
* major news or event risk.
A recovery signal against a strong directional trend can fail.
The indicator should not be used as the only reason for a market decision.
## 11. Configure the signal cooldown
The default cooldown is 50 bars for signals of the same direction.
Reduce the setting when more frequent same-direction signals are desired.
Increase it when repeated signals should be restricted.
Bullish and bearish cooldowns operate independently.
## 12. Configure historical measurements
Select Percentage mode for simple percentage-based target and stop research.
A practical starting configuration is:
* Standard Target: 1%;
* Standard Stop: 1%;
* Super Target: 2%;
* Super Stop: 2%.
These are examples only and are not recommended settings for every market or timeframe.
Select an Internal Level target when the channel’s own internal structure should be used.
Remember that a measurement is skipped when the chosen level is not beyond the signal close in the correct direction.
## 13. Read the target and stop lines
When a valid outcome starts:
* the green line represents the target;
* the red line represents the stop.
The lines remain visible for the selected number of bars.
Their disappearance does not necessarily mean the outcome has been resolved.
## 14. Read the tables correctly
The standard table separates BULL and BEAR results.
The Super table separates SBULL and SBEAR results.
T means completed target outcomes.
S means completed stop outcomes.
The percentage represents targets divided by completed targets and stops.
Do not interpret the percentage as a guaranteed win rate.
## 15. Understand one-active-outcome tracking
The script tracks only one unresolved outcome at a time.
A new signal may be displayed while an older measurement remains active.
However, the newer signal will not be added to the historical table until the previous measurement has ended and another eligible signal occurs.
This prevents overlapping measurements but means the table does not measure every displayed signal.
## 16. Create alerts
Create separate PulseWire alerts for the conditions you want to receive:
* Bull Recovery;
* Super Bull Recovery;
* Bear Recovery;
* Super Bear Recovery.
Use Once Per Bar Close to match the script’s confirmed-signal behaviour.
Test alerts on the intended symbol and timeframe before relying on them operationally.
## Suggested starting process
1. Apply the indicator to a liquid symbol on a standard candlestick chart.
2. Keep the default Smoothing Length of 20.
3. Keep Minimum Closes Outside Channel at 5.
4. Leave volume confirmation disabled initially.
5. Observe several BULL and BEAR recovery examples.
6. Compare standard and Super signals.
7. Review whether signals occur with or against the broader trend.
8. Enable volume confirmation and compare the difference.
9. Use the historical tables only as simplified research measurements.
10. Test multiple symbols and timeframes before drawing conclusions.
## Important limitations
* The script stores one reference level from each FVG, not the entire FVG zone.
* FVGs are confirmed only after the relevant chart bar closes.
* FVG mitigation requires a confirmed close through the stored reference.
* Wick contact alone does not remove an FVG reference.
* Active bullish and bearish references are equally weighted.
* The channel uses a price-SMA fallback when no active FVG reference is available.
* Double smoothing introduces delay.
* Recovery signals do not guarantee reversals.
* Super classifications measure wick extension only.
* Volume quality varies across markets and data providers.
* Only one historical outcome is tracked at a time.
* Not every displayed signal is included in the tables.
* Same-bar target and stop contact is recorded as a stop outcome.
* Historical measurements do not include realistic execution costs.
* Internal target modes may skip signals when the selected level is not positioned beyond the signal close.
* Historical table results do not guarantee future performance.
FVG Channel is an analytical and research tool. It does not provide financial advice, guaranteed signals, or guaranteed results. Indicator
Echo Vector## Echo Vector
### Overview
Echo Vector is an open-source chart-analysis overlay that combines relative-volume candle classification, moving-average context, confirmed price structure, liquidity references, imbalance zones, trading sessions and higher-timeframe reference levels.
The purpose of the script is to organize several related areas of chart analysis within one configurable workflow:
- relative volume and candle behaviour;
- trend and volatility context;
- confirmed swing structure;
- liquidity references and mitigated zones;
- Fair Value Gaps and Balanced Price Ranges;
- daily, weekly and session-based reference levels;
- optional analytical condition markers;
- simplified historical condition-outcome statistics.
Echo Vector does not predict future price movement. Its colours, zones, lines and markers show when the configured analytical conditions have been detected. They should not be treated as automatic instructions to enter or exit a position.
### Open-source attribution

Retained or adapted areas include selected relative-volume vector-candle concepts, EMA references, market-session timing, daylight-saving handling, daily pivot calculations, M-level calculations, Psy-level concepts and selected daily and weekly reference levels.
This publication is not affiliated with, endorsed by or presented as an official TradersReality or Pattern Watchers publication.
The source is published under the Mozilla Public License 2.0.
This implementation expands the framework with additional liquidity-level management, volume-confirmed pivot zones, market-structure states, Fair Value Gap and Balanced Price Range processing, configurable condition markers, mitigation handling, Fibonacci references, timeframe presets and historical condition-outcome tables.
### What the script measures
Echo Vector examines how candle direction, candle range, candle body size and reported volume relate to their recent historical averages.
The script also examines:
- price position relative to several moving averages;
- confirmed pivot highs and lows;
- breaks of confirmed internal and external structure;
- price interaction with previously identified levels and zones;
- three-candle price imbalances;
- overlap between opposing imbalance zones;
- distance from statistical and moving-average references;
- session location and daily or weekly reference levels.
The individual modules measure different characteristics. A high-volume candle describes participation, while a structure break describes price progression. A liquidity level describes a previous pivot reference, while an FVG describes an imbalance between three candles.
No single component confirms the meaning of another component automatically.
### Relative-volume candle classification
The vector-candle engine compares current volume with a recent volume average.
It also calculates a volume-spread value by multiplying candle range by volume and comparing that value with recent bars.
The principal candle states are:
- Echo Pulse: volume exceeds the configured moderate relative-volume threshold.
- Echo Surge: volume exceeds the stronger threshold or the volume-spread value reaches the recent comparison extreme.
- Echo Peak: volume reaches the configured extreme relative-volume threshold.
- Blow-off condition: a bullish candle combines unusually high volume, an unusually large body and extension above an EMA-based deviation reference.
- Exhaustion condition: a bearish candle combines unusually high volume, an unusually large body and extension below the corresponding deviation reference.
These classifications describe unusual candle and volume relationships. They do not prove accumulation, distribution, institutional activity or an imminent reversal.
An Echo Cascade marker can appear when qualifying volume states occur for the selected number of consecutive bars.
### Moving averages and cloud
The script displays five configurable moving-average references representing fast, medium, baseline, long-term and very-long-term context.
The baseline average is also used as the centre of a volatility cloud. Cloud width is calculated from price standard deviation and can be adjusted with the multiplier and divisor settings.
When dynamic colouring is enabled, selected moving averages change colour according to price position relative to the baseline average.
Moving averages are delayed calculations based on historical prices. They do not identify exact support or resistance and can react slowly after abrupt market changes.
### Liquidity reference levels
The LQ module converts confirmed pivot highs and lows into horizontal reference levels.
- A level above a confirmed pivot high represents a possible high-side liquidity reference.
- A level below a confirmed pivot low represents a possible low-side liquidity reference.
The lines remain active until they are touched, hidden under the selected mitigation rule or removed because the maximum number of retained levels has been reached.
These levels are inferred from historical price structure. They do not display real resting orders or order-book liquidity.
### Volume-confirmed pivot zones
The zone module combines confirmed pivots with relative volume.
A zone is created when:
- a pivot high or pivot low has been confirmed;
- volume at the pivot meets the selected relative-volume threshold;
- the zone satisfies the configured display and storage rules.
Zone height can be based on a fixed tick value and may also be scaled by relative volume or ATR.
Mitigation can be evaluated using candle wicks or candle bodies. Mitigated zones may be removed or retained with a faded appearance.
The zones represent areas of prior price and volume interaction. They do not prove the presence of institutional orders.
### Market structure
Echo Vector maintains separate external and internal structure states.
External structure uses the major pivot lookback. Internal structure uses a shorter pivot lookback to detect smaller structural movements.
Depending on the previous stored direction, confirmed breaks may be labelled as:
- BOS;
- CHoCH;
- internal BOS;
- internal CHoCH;
- MSS.
The user can choose whether a break is evaluated using the candle close or the candle wick.
Structure labels are descriptive classifications based on confirmed pivots. Different pivot settings can produce different structure interpretations.
### Fair Value Gaps and Balanced Price Ranges
A bullish Fair Value Gap is detected when the current candle low remains above the high from two candles earlier.
A bearish Fair Value Gap is detected when the current candle high remains below the low from two candles earlier.
The gap must satisfy the configured minimum tick size.
When an active bullish and bearish FVG overlap, the overlapping section is displayed as a Balanced Price Range.
FVG and BPR zones are managed until their invalidation or fill condition is met.
These zones identify historical price imbalances. Price is not required to revisit, fill or react to them.
### Analytical condition markers
Echo Vector includes optional markers based on combinations of volume, candle body, wick structure, moving-average distance, RSI thresholds and recent price extremes.
Available modules include:
- swing-sweep conditions;
- stopping-volume-style conditions;
- high-volume displacement conditions;
- large-volume candle conditions;
- wick-rejection conditions;
- RSI extreme-threshold conditions;
- blow-off and exhaustion conditions.
These names describe the intended analytical category. The conditions are OHLCV-based heuristics and do not directly identify actual stop orders, passive absorption or order-book events.
Bullish and bearish markers indicate the directional interpretation assigned by the selected calculation. They are not buy or sell recommendations.
### Sessions and reference levels
The script can display selected market-session boxes and labels, including:
- London;
- New York;
- Tokyo;
- Hong Kong;
- Sydney;
- a combined Asia window;
- EU and US break windows.
Internal daylight-saving calculations adjust selected session times.
The script can also display:
- previous-day high and low;
- previous-week high and low;
- daily open;
- daily pivot levels;
- M0 through M5 midpoint levels;
- average-range references;
- Psy High and Psy Low references;
- dynamic Fibonacci retracement levels.
Session alignment can vary because of symbol trading hours, exchange calendars, chart timeframes, holidays and daylight-saving transitions.
### Fibonacci references
The Fibonacci module uses confirmed swing points maintained by the script.
When a new structural extreme is confirmed or the stored range is broken, the active swing range may be updated and the Fibonacci levels recalculated.
The user can control:
- pivot sensitivity;
- displayed ratios;
- line colours;
- line style;
- label visibility;
- standard or extended ratio sets.
Because the anchors depend on confirmed and changing swing structure, the displayed range can change as new information becomes available.
### Timeframe presets
Echo Vector provides Auto, Intraday, Daily, Weekly and Manual modes.
The presets adjust selected moving-average, RSI and volume parameters.
- Auto selects a parameter group according to the chart timeframe.
- Intraday, Daily and Weekly force a selected preset.
- Manual uses the user-defined values.
Preset values are starting configurations. They are not automatically optimized for the current symbol and do not guarantee suitable behaviour across all markets.
### How to use Echo Vector
Begin with the broader moving-average and market-structure context.
Next, examine where price is trading relative to:
- confirmed LQ levels;
- volume-confirmed pivot zones;
- FVG and BPR zones;
- session highs and lows;
- daily and weekly reference levels;
- the active Fibonacci range.
Then review the candle classification.
A Pulse, Surge or Peak candle shows that the selected volume criteria were met. It does not determine whether price will continue or reverse.
Finally, examine optional condition markers only after considering their location. A marker occurring near a relevant level or structural area may provide more context than the same marker appearing in the middle of an undefined range.
Users remain responsible for independently determining risk, position size, entry and exit rules.
### Minimal Mode
Minimal Mode reduces chart congestion by hiding selected condition markers and simplifying parts of the visual display.
It is intended for users who want to focus primarily on moving averages, the cloud, levels, sessions and broader structure.
Because individual modules also have separate visibility controls, users should confirm which elements remain active after enabling Minimal Mode.
### Historical condition-outcome table
The optional table applies fixed percentage target and stop distances to historical condition markers.
For each tracked condition, it counts whether the selected target or stop boundary was reached first.
The table is a simplified observational tool and is not equivalent to PulseWire Strategy Tester.
It does not model:
- commission;
- spread;
- slippage;
- order type;
- execution delay;
- liquidity;
- position sizing;
- portfolio equity;
- all intrabar sequencing ambiguities.
Only one active observation is maintained for each tracked condition and direction. Historical results depend on the symbol, timeframe, available history, target distance, stop distance and selected settings.
Historical table values do not imply future performance.
### Settings
The main settings control:
- timeframe presets;
- moving-average periods and colours;
- volatility-cloud width;
- relative-volume thresholds;
- candle-state visibility;
- pivot sensitivity;
- liquidity-level retention;
- zone volume requirements;
- ATR and volume zone scaling;
- mitigation rules;
- internal and external structure sensitivity;
- close- or wick-based break evaluation;
- FVG minimum size;
- session visibility;
- daily and weekly reference levels;
- Fibonacci anchors and ratios;
- RSI thresholds;
- wick, volume and body filters;
- marker colours;
- alert conditions;
- table target and stop distances.
Lower thresholds and shorter lookbacks generally increase sensitivity and noise.
Higher thresholds and longer lookbacks generally produce fewer conditions and later confirmation.
### Alerts
Alerts are available for selected vector-candle states, FVG conditions, sweep-style conditions, stopping-volume-style conditions, wick conditions and Psy-level crosses.
Many conditions use values from the active candle. They can therefore appear, change or disappear before the candle closes.
For confirmed alerts, select Once Per Bar Close when creating the PulseWire alert.
Pivot-based conditions are available only after the required right-side pivot bars have completed.
### Repainting and confirmation behaviour
FVG and BPR objects are created only after the relevant chart candle is confirmed.
Other current-bar conditions may change while the candle remains open.
Pivot highs and lows require bars on both sides of the pivot. A pivot is therefore confirmed only after the selected number of right-side bars has completed.
Once confirmed, a pivot marker, liquidity line, structure line, zone or Fibonacci anchor may be drawn at the earlier pivot location. The object was not available in real time on that earlier candle.
Current daily-open and session values can change as their active periods develop.
Users should evaluate signals according to the time at which they became confirmed rather than only by their final historical chart position.
### Limitations
- Volume quality differs between exchanges, brokers and symbols.
- Forex and CFD symbols may provide tick volume rather than centralized exchange volume.
- Relative-volume classifications do not show true bid-and-ask delta.
- Pivot confirmation introduces delay.
- Current-bar markers can change before candle close.
- High volume can accompany continuation, reversal or temporary volatility.
- Extreme conditions can persist.
- Liquidity levels do not show actual resting orders.
- Volume-confirmed zones do not prove institutional activity.
- FVG and BPR zones may remain unfilled or fail to produce a reaction.
- Structure classifications depend on the selected pivot settings.
- Moving averages lag price.
- Session timing can vary across exchanges and instruments.
- Lower timeframes generally generate more noise.
- Historical outcome tables do not reproduce realistic execution.
- Platform limits can restrict the number of retained boxes, labels and lines.
- The script should not be used as the sole basis for a trading decision.

## HOW-TO: Use Echo Vector to Read Volume, Liquidity and Structure
Echo Vector combines relative-volume candles, moving-average context, confirmed market structure, liquidity references, imbalance zones, sessions and higher-timeframe levels.
This guide explains a structured way to read the indicator without treating any single marker as an automatic trade signal.
## Step 1: Choose the operating mode
Open the indicator settings and select an Optimization Mode.
- Auto applies a parameter group according to the chart timeframe.
- Intraday forces the intraday settings.
- Daily forces the daily settings.
- Weekly forces the weekly settings.
- Manual uses the values entered by the user.
The presets are starting configurations rather than symbol-specific optimizations.
When changing symbols or timeframes, review whether the pivot sensitivity, volume thresholds and moving-average lengths remain appropriate.
## Step 2: Establish the broader context
Begin with the moving averages and the baseline cloud.
Ask:
- Is price above or below the baseline average?
- Are the fast and medium averages moving in the same direction?
- Is price compressed inside the cloud or extended away from it?
- Is price above or below the long-term averages?
Moving averages provide context, not precise entries.
A strong move can remain extended for longer than expected, while sideways markets can cause repeated crossings.
## Step 3: Read the vector-candle states
Echo Vector classifies candles according to relative volume and candle behaviour.
- Echo Pulse marks moderately elevated volume.
- Echo Surge marks stronger relative volume or an elevated volume-spread relationship.
- Echo Peak marks an extreme relative-volume condition.
- Echo Cascade marks consecutive qualifying vector states.
- Blow-off and exhaustion conditions add body-size and statistical-extension requirements.
A coloured candle answers the question:
Did this candle meet the selected relative-volume criteria?
It does not answer:
Will the next candle move higher or lower?
Always compare a vector candle with its location and surrounding structure.
## Step 4: Identify confirmed liquidity references
LQ lines are created from confirmed pivot highs and lows.
A high-side line marks a previous confirmed high. A low-side line marks a previous confirmed low.
Use these lines to examine whether price is:
- approaching an earlier swing;
- trading through the level;
- closing back across it;
- accepting beyond it;
- reacting without reaching it.
The lines are historical price references. They do not show actual stop orders or order-book liquidity.
## Step 5: Examine volume-confirmed pivot zones
The shaded pivot zones require both a confirmed pivot and the selected relative-volume condition.
Zone height can be adjusted with:
- the base tick value;
- relative-volume scaling;
- ATR scaling.
A larger zone does not automatically mean stronger support or resistance. It means that the configured sizing calculation produced a wider reference area.
Watch how price interacts with the zone:
- wick interaction;
- body interaction;
- partial mitigation;
- complete mitigation;
- movement through the zone without reaction.
## Step 6: Read market structure
Echo Vector separates external and internal structure.
External structure describes larger confirmed pivots. Internal structure describes smaller movements inside the broader structure.
Labels can include BOS, CHoCH, internal BOS, internal CHoCH and MSS.
Use them in sequence rather than isolation.
For example:
- an internal bullish change inside an external bearish structure is not automatically a complete trend reversal;
- an external break can be more significant but will normally confirm later;
- wick-based confirmation reacts sooner but can produce more false breaks;
- close-based confirmation reacts later but requires the candle to finish beyond the level.
## Step 7: Use FVG and BPR zones
A bullish FVG appears when the current candle low remains above the high from two candles earlier.
A bearish FVG uses the inverse relationship.
A Balanced Price Range appears where active opposing FVG zones overlap.
Use these zones to study areas of historical imbalance.
Possible observations include:
- price returning into an FVG;
- partial filling;
- complete invalidation;
- reaction near a BPR;
- an imbalance aligning with a structural or liquidity reference.
Price is not required to fill every FVG.
## Step 8: Add session and higher-timeframe context
Enable only the sessions relevant to the market being studied.
Echo Vector can display London, New York, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Sydney, Asia and selected break windows.
The reference-level section can also display:
- previous-day high and low;
- previous-week high and low;
- daily open;
- pivot and M levels;
- average-range levels;
- Psy High and Psy Low;
- Fibonacci retracements.
These levels provide location context.
A condition occurring near a previous-day extreme may have a different context from the same condition occurring in the centre of the daily range.
## Step 9: Interpret condition markers carefully
The script contains optional markers based on combinations of:
- recent highs and lows;
- volume;
- candle bodies;
- wick ratios;
- moving-average distance;
- RSI thresholds;
- price extension.
Treat the markers as analytical filters.
Do not assume that names such as Stop Hunt, Stopping Volume or Liquidity Grab prove the presence of actual stop orders or institutional absorption.
They are OHLCV-based approximations.
Before using a marker, check:
- broader trend;
- external structure;
- internal structure;
- nearby LQ levels;
- active zones;
- session location;
- FVG or BPR location;
- candle-close confirmation.
## Step 10: Understand pivot delay
A confirmed pivot requires later candles.
When Pivot Strength is set to three, three bars to the right must complete before the earlier candle can be confirmed as a pivot.
The script may then place the marker or line on the original pivot candle.
This makes the historical chart easier to read, but the information was not available on the original pivot candle in real time.
The same principle applies to:
- liquidity lines;
- volume-confirmed pivot zones;
- structure pivots;
- dynamic Fibonacci anchors.
## Step 11: Use the outcome table as an observation tool
The table applies fixed target and stop distances to selected historical conditions.
It is useful for comparing how a condition behaved under one set of assumptions.
It is not a strategy backtest.
The table does not include commission, spread, slippage, realistic order fills, position sizing or portfolio equity.
Changing the symbol, timeframe, target, stop or signal filters can materially change the displayed results.
Do not interpret the historical percentage as a probability of future success.
## Step 12: Configure alerts
Select the condition in PulseWire’s alert menu.
For conditions based on the active candle, use Once Per Bar Close when confirmed alerts are required.
Without bar-close confirmation, a condition may trigger while the candle is developing and disappear before the candle closes.
Pivot-based divergence or structure conditions naturally occur later because they require right-side confirmation bars.
## Example reading sequence
A structured analysis could follow this order:
- Determine whether price is above or below the baseline and long-term averages.
- Identify the latest external and internal structure direction.
- Mark nearby LQ levels and volume-confirmed pivot zones.
- Check whether price is inside or near an FVG or BPR.
- Identify the active trading session and daily or weekly location.
- Observe whether a Pulse, Surge, Peak or exhaustion condition appears.
- Review any optional marker only after checking its location.
- Wait for candle-close confirmation where required.
- Apply independent risk and execution rules.
The indicator is most useful as a context framework. It should not replace independent analysis or risk management.

Indicator
Fair Value Gap Detector | AlphaScript⚡ Fair Value Gap Detector
Most fair value gap indicators mark every three-candle gap on the chart — including the weak, meaningless ones. This tool only marks FVGs created by genuine displacement: a strong-bodied move that signals real institutional participation. Fewer gaps, but the ones that matter.
💡 What a fair value gap is
A fair value gap (FVG) is a three-candle imbalance where price moved so quickly that it left an unfilled gap. In a bullish FVG, the low of the third candle sits above the high of the first — the middle candle's move was so strong it skipped a price range where little trading occurred. Price often returns to "fill" these gaps before continuing, which is why traders watch them as potential entry and reaction zones.
🎯 Why displacement matters
A gap alone is not significant, gaps form constantly, most from weak or random price action. What makes an FVG worth trading is displacement: the middle candle being a large, decisive move that leaves the gap behind. This tool measures the middle candle's body against ATR and only registers the FVG when that body is large enough to qualify as real displacement, and when it moved in the gap's direction. The result is a chart showing institutional-grade gaps instead of noise.
🔍 How detection works
On each confirmed three-candle sequence the tool checks:
A valid gap exists (third candle's low above first candle's high for bullish; third's high below first's low for bearish).
The gap is at least a minimum size, measured as a multiple of ATR, so it is instrument-independent.
The middle candle's body is a genuine displacement — at least a configurable multiple of ATR — and pushed in the gap's direction.
Only sequences passing all three become FVG zones. The displacement requirement can be turned off if you prefer the classic "any gap" behavior.
🟩 Mitigation tracking
Each FVG zone stays active until price fills it. You choose how a fill is counted:
Touch — the gap is mitigated when price reaches its midpoint (the 50% level, where FVGs often react).
Close — the gap is mitigated only when price closes fully through it.
A midline marks the 50% level of every zone.
🎨 Customization
Bullish and bearish fill colors and opacity, midline display, and how far zones extend to the right (a configurable number of bars, so zones don't run infinitely across the chart, or fully infinite if you prefer). Separate toggles for bullish and bearish zones.
📈 How to use it
Treat an active bullish FVG below price as a potential demand zone and an active bearish FVG above price as potential supply. Watch for price returning to a zone — especially the 50% midline — as a possible reaction point, in the direction of the displacement that created it. Because only displacement gaps are shown, each zone represents a move with real momentum behind it rather than a random imbalance. Combine with your own structure and bias — the tool marks the zones, you make the decisions.
🔔 Alerts
Bullish FVG formed, bearish FVG formed, and mitigation alerts when a zone is filled.
⚙️ Settings
ATR length and minimum gap size, displacement requirement and strength, mitigation mode, zone extension length, colors, opacity, midline, and per-direction display toggles.
📌 Notes
FVGs are detected on confirmed bars only and do not repaint intrabar. Detection strictness depends on the gap-size and displacement settings — tune them to your instrument and timeframe. A fair value gap marks an area of potential interest, not a guaranteed reaction — always combine with your own analysis and risk management.

Daily Sweep Pro: liquidity raid, AMD filter & FVG entriesWHAT IT DOES
A full top-down liquidity playbook on one chart. It reads daily structure for bias (higher highs and higher lows = longs only; the reverse = shorts only), waits for a liquidity pool to get raided against that bias — intraday swings, the Asian range, premarket levels, or the opposing prior-day level — then demands a fair value gap in the trend direction before arming an entry at the gap, with the sweep extreme as the stop and the prior-day level as the target.
HOW IT WORKS
- Bias: daily pivots, evaluated on confirmed bars only.
- The AMD filter (on by default) requires the trap to happen on the wrong side of the weekly open — the classic Judas swing. Turn it off for more, lower-quality setups.
- Every armed setup passes a minimum reward:risk check, and a daily circuit breaker stops new setups after your max entries per day.
- A status table narrates the state machine live: bias, current state, levels, and a timeframe check.
- Signals and drawings fire on closed bars — no repaint. Staged alerts cover raid, FVG confirmation, entry, target, and stop.
HOW TO USE IT
Built for 1H and below during the New York session (sessions are configurable). Let the table tell you where you are in the sequence; the labels mark each stage on the chart.
WHAT IT CAN'T DO
It follows one playbook, strictly. On days without a clean raid-and-gap sequence it will do nothing at all — that is the design, not a malfunction. It also can't know the news; the circuit breaker is your friend on event days.
SETTINGS
Daily pivot strength, session windows, which liquidity pools are eligible, FVG size and entry style, minimum R:R, max entries per day, and full display toggles.
Open source. Free. If it keeps you out of one chase a week, that's the job. Indicator
ICT GapsICT Gaps
Multi-timeframe ICT gap toolkit: Fair Value Gaps from up to nine higher timeframes, plus New Week Opening Gaps (NWOG), New Day Opening Gaps (NDOG), and the Opening Range Gap (ORG) — all on one chart.
What it does
HTF Fair Value Gaps Displays FVGs (3-candle imbalances) from up to 9 configurable timeframes (defaults: 1m, 2m, 3m, 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W) on your current chart. Each timeframe has its own show/hide toggle, bullish/bearish colors, and display cap.
Zones extend a configurable distance ahead of the current candle, with each timeframe's labels stacked in its own column so you can read the chart at a glance.
Mitigation tracking with five modes: None, Wick filled, Body filled, Wick filled half, Body filled half. Mitigated zones freeze at the candle that filled them and recolor (or hide entirely — your choice).
C.E. (Consequent Encroachment) midpoint line on every FVG, with selectable line style.
Proximity filter: only FVGs within an ATR-based distance of current price are drawn, keeping the chart clean. The multiplier is adjustable.
Optional merging of back-to-back FVGs (two 3-candle gaps sharing 2 candles) into a single zone.
"Hide Lower Timeframes" automatically hides any configured timeframe below your chart timeframe.
Opening Gaps (NWOG / NDOG) The gap between Friday's close and the new week's open (NWOG), and between each day's close and the next day's open (NDOG). Keeps a configurable number of recent gaps (ICT convention: last 5). Opening gaps do not mitigate — they stay on the chart while relevant.
Opening Range Gap (ORG) The gap between the previous regular session close (default 16:15 ET) and today's regular session open (09:30 ET). The box spans exactly the overnight region — from the prior close to the opening bell — and freezes there. Session window and time-zone are configurable. Requires a 15-minute or lower chart timeframe so session boundaries align with bars.
Internal levels for gaps Each gap type can display either the C.E. midpoint or SD quadrant lines at 0/25/50/75/100% of the gap — one dropdown per feature, so the two never conflict. SD lines can carry small 25/50/75 value labels in a color of your choice.
Usage tips
Keep fill colors mostly transparent (75–90%). Opaque fills will visibly jump in front of the candles when hovered — that's PulseWire's hover behavior, not the script.
If you prefer candles always on top: right-click the indicator → Visual order → Send to back.
ORG requires a 15m or lower chart. NWOG/NDOG require an intraday chart.
On a 1H chart with defaults, expect the nearest timeframe's zones to sit a few candles right of price, with higher timeframes stacked further out. Adjust "Distance from current candle" and "Spacing between timeframes" to taste.

Institutional Flow MatrixInstitutional Flow Matrix is an open-source market-analysis framework designed to organize trend direction, confirmed market structure, institutional price zones, momentum, and location within a dealing range into one readable chart.
The purpose of this indicator is not to predict every price movement or generate constant entries. It is designed to answer a more practical sequence of questions:
1. What is the current directional bias?
2. Is market structure supporting that direction?
3. Is price trading from a meaningful location?
4. Has price returned to an active institutional zone?
5. Is momentum aligned with the proposed setup?
The script combines these questions into a structured workflow while keeping the default chart intentionally clean.
WHY THIS INDICATOR WAS BUILT
Many market-structure indicators display every swing, imbalance, liquidity level, zone, and signal at the same time. While that information can be useful for detailed analysis, it can also make the chart difficult to interpret during live trading.
Institutional Flow Matrix was built around a visual hierarchy:
* Directional bias is the primary layer.
* Active Order Blocks are the principal reaction zones.
* Momentum is a confirmation layer.
* Premium and Discount provide market location.
* Fair Value Gaps, liquidity pools, sweeps, and higher-timeframe levels are optional study tools.
The default Balanced preset focuses on the information most relevant to a directional pullback setup. Minimal mode removes most supporting visuals for live execution. Full mode reveals the additional market-structure tools for deeper analysis.
WHAT MAKES THE IMPLEMENTATION DIFFERENT
The individual concepts used by this script, including pivots, moving averages, ATR trend filters, Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, and Premium/Discount ranges, are established forms of technical analysis.
The original contribution of Institutional Flow Matrix is how those components are synchronized and managed as one decision framework.
Key design elements include:
* Confirmed structure events rather than unconfirmed swing guesses.
* A persistent directional state requiring agreement between structure, EMA alignment, and an ATR-based trend filter.
* Order Block freshness validation before a zone is accepted.
* Separate visual duration and analytical lifetime controls for zones.
* Automatic mitigation and expiration of old zones.
* Limited drawing-object counts to prevent long-term chart clutter.
* A weighted confluence model centered on trend, structure, zone interaction, market location, and momentum.
* Three visual presets that change the information hierarchy without changing the underlying calculations.
* Confirmed-bar signals and event-based alerts.
This is not intended to be a collection of unrelated indicators. Each module has a defined role in the same setup process.
DIRECTIONAL BIAS
The chart background represents the script's confirmed directional state.
A bullish state requires agreement between:
* Bullish market structure.
* Fast EMA positioning above the slow EMA.
* Bullish ATR trend conditions.
A bearish state uses the opposite conditions.
The background changes only after the required conditions are confirmed. A larger BUY or SELL label marks a confirmed change in this directional state.
These shift labels are different from the smaller confluence signals. A shift label identifies a change in directional bias. A confluence signal requires additional location, zone, and momentum conditions.
MARKET STRUCTURE
Confirmed pivot highs and lows form the structure engine.
The script tracks:
* Higher Highs
* Higher Lows
* Lower Highs
* Lower Lows
* Breaks of Structure
* Changes of Character
A bullish break occurs when a confirmed bar closes above the latest unbroken confirmed swing high. A bearish break occurs when a confirmed bar closes below the latest unbroken confirmed swing low.
Swing labels are retrospective by design. A pivot can only be confirmed after the selected number of right-side bars has closed. Once confirmed, its label is placed on the candle where the swing originally occurred. The label was not known on that earlier candle.
ORDER BLOCKS
Order Blocks are the primary reaction zones in the indicator.
After a confirmed structure break or qualifying displacement event, the script searches backward for an opposing candle. A candidate candle can be filtered by:
* Candle range relative to ATR.
* Body size as a percentage of candle range.
* Optional volume expansion.
* Wick-based or body-based zone construction.
Before accepting the candidate, the script checks whether price has already invalidated it. This prevents many stale zones from being created after the fact.
Active Order Blocks can be invalidated by either:
* A close beyond the opposite edge.
* A wick beyond the opposite edge.
The selected mitigation method is used consistently during both zone creation and live zone management.
Order Blocks have separate controls for visual extension and analytical age. This allows users to control how long a box remains visible independently from how long it remains eligible for signal calculations.
PREMIUM, DISCOUNT, AND EQUILIBRIUM
The script creates a rolling dealing range from the highest high and lowest low over the selected lookback.
The range is divided into:
* Premium: the upper portion of the range.
* Discount: the lower portion of the range.
* Equilibrium: the 50% midpoint.
Premium and Discount do not generate trades by themselves. They provide location.
In general:
* Bullish setups receive stronger contextual support in Discount.
* Bearish setups receive stronger contextual support in Premium.
* Equilibrium represents the midpoint of the current rolling range.
Because the range is rolling, its boundaries can change when a new lookback high or low is formed.
MOMENTUM RIBBON
The momentum module uses three exponential moving averages and an ATR-normalized difference between the fast and slow averages.
Bullish momentum requires:
* Fast EMA above the slow EMA.
* Positive normalized momentum.
* Momentum above its signal average.
Bearish momentum uses the opposite conditions.
Diamond markers identify confirmed momentum crossings. The ribbon is intended as confirmation rather than a standalone entry system.
CONFLUENCE SIGNALS
The script calculates a 0-100 Confluence Score from five conditions:
* Directional bias: 25 points.
* Market structure: 15 points.
* Momentum alignment: 15 points.
* Active Order Block interaction: 25 points.
* Premium or Discount location: 20 points.
The score measures condition alignment. It is not a probability, win rate, accuracy estimate, or forecast of future performance.
By default, BUY and SELL signals require:
* Confirmed directional bias.
* Matching confirmed structure.
* Interaction with an active Order Block.
* Correct Premium or Discount location.
* Matching momentum.
* Minimum Confluence Score.
* Completion of the selected signal cooldown.
Signals are displayed only when the complete condition changes from false to true. This prevents repeated labels while the same setup remains active.
OPTIONAL ADVANCED MODULES
Full mode provides additional analytical tools:
* Fair Value Gaps with ATR size filtering.
* Equal-high and equal-low liquidity pools.
* Confirmed liquidity sweeps.
* BOS and CHoCH labels.
* HH, HL, LH, and LL labels.
* Previous day, week, and month highs and lows.
* Optional momentum candle coloring.
These features are disabled or hidden from the default Balanced view to preserve readability.
VISUAL PRESETS
Minimal:
Designed for traders who want the least chart interference. It suppresses the background, ribbon, Premium/Discount display, trailing line, dashboard, and advanced structure annotations.
Balanced:
The default view. It emphasizes directional background, active Order Blocks, Premium/Discount context, momentum ribbon, diamonds, signals, and the dashboard.
Full:
Designed for detailed study. It adds structure labels, BOS/CHoCH events, Fair Value Gaps, liquidity tools, higher-timeframe levels, and optional candle coloring.
FOR NEWER TRADERS
A simple workflow is:
1. Start with the Balanced preset.
2. Use the background to identify the current directional bias.
3. Wait for price to return to an Order Block matching that bias.
4. Check whether price is in Discount for a bullish setup or Premium for a bearish setup.
5. Confirm that the momentum ribbon agrees.
6. Treat the signal as a point for further analysis, not an automatic order.
The equilibrium line can be used as a reference for the midpoint of the current dealing range. It is not automatically an entry or exit instruction.
FOR ADVANCED TRADERS
Experienced users can customize:
* Pivot confirmation sensitivity.
* ATR and EMA trend parameters.
* Wick-based versus body-based Order Blocks.
* Displacement-created zones.
* Candle body, range, and volume filters.
* Close-based versus wick-based mitigation.
* Zone visual duration and analytical age.
* Premium and Discount percentages.
* Fair Value Gap size.
* Liquidity sensitivity.
* Momentum lengths.
* Individual signal requirements.
* Minimum confluence threshold.
* Signal cooldown.
* Higher-timeframe reference levels.
Advanced users can also disable individual hard requirements and use the Confluence Score as a more flexible filtering system.
ALERTS
Alert conditions are included for:
* Break of Structure.
* Change of Character.
* New Order Block.
* BUY signal.
* SELL signal.
* Bias-aligned Order Block entry.
* Trend and momentum confluence.
* Liquidity sweep.
Alerts should be created using Once Per Bar Close when confirmed signals are required.
NON-REPAINTING AND TIMING
Structure breaks, directional shifts, zone creation, zone mitigation, momentum events, and confluence signals are evaluated on confirmed bars.
Pivot-based swing labels require future bars to confirm that a swing occurred. After confirmation, the label is displayed on the original pivot candle. This is delayed confirmation with retrospective placement, not advance knowledge of the swing.
Previous-period levels use completed higher-timeframe data.
LIMITATIONS
* This indicator does not predict future prices.
* It does not calculate position size, stop loss, or account risk.
* It is not a complete automated trading system.
* Signals can fail during volatile, illiquid, or range-bound conditions.
* Rolling Premium, Discount, and equilibrium levels can move when the lookback range changes.
* Confirmed pivots introduce an intentional delay.
* Order Block definitions vary among trading methodologies; this script uses the documented candle-search and filtering rules described above.
* Volume behavior differs across asset classes and data providers.
* Parameter settings that work on one symbol or timeframe may not be appropriate for another.
Suggested starting points are the 15-minute and 1-hour charts for intraday analysis and the 4-hour chart for broader swing structure. Users should test settings on their own symbols and trading sessions.
OPEN-SOURCE PURPOSE
The script is published open-source so traders can inspect the calculations, understand why signals occur, verify the confirmed-bar methodology, and adapt the framework for their own research.
The goal is to provide a readable and transparent market-structure workflow rather than a black-box prediction tool.

Indicator
Inversion Fair Value Gaps [iFVG] (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Inversion Fair Value Gaps (Zeiierman) identifies when traditional Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) fail and transition into powerful inversion zones.
A regular Fair Value Gap represents an imbalance where price moved aggressively in one direction, leaving behind inefficient trading. While many traders expect these gaps to act as support or resistance, not every imbalance survives. Some are broken, absorbed, and eventually become areas where the opposite side of the market gains control.
This indicator continuously tracks every valid bullish and bearish FVG. When price successfully closes through an existing FVG and later forms an opposing FVG within the user-defined pairing window, the overlapping imbalance is converted into an Inversion Fair Value Gap (iFVG).
Rather than treating every FVG equally, the indicator focuses on failed imbalances that demonstrate a genuine shift in market order flow.
⚪ FVG Detection
The indicator continuously scans price using the classic three-candle Fair Value Gap model.
A Bullish FVG forms when:
• Price leaves an upside imbalance.
• The third candle creates a gap above the first candle.
A Bearish FVG forms when:
• Price leaves a downside imbalance.
• The third candle creates a gap below the first candle.
Unlike many FVG indicators, every detected gap remains internally tracked so it can later evolve into an inversion.
⚪ Inversion Fair Value Gap Detection
Once an FVG is created, it enters an internal memory system.
If price later closes completely through that imbalance, the FVG is considered broken. Rather than immediately discarding it, the indicator temporarily remembers the remaining imbalance.
If an opposing FVG forms before the memory expires, both structures are combined into a new Inversion Fair Value Gap.
Bullish iFVG
• Bearish FVG is broken.
• Bullish FVG forms shortly afterwards.
• The overlapping imbalance becomes bullish support.
Bearish iFVG
• Bullish FVG is broken.
• Bearish FVG forms shortly afterwards.
• The overlapping imbalance becomes bearish resistance.
This process filters out many ordinary FVGs and highlights only those that demonstrate a meaningful transition in buying or selling pressure.
█ How It Works
⚪ Fair Value Gap Detection
The script continuously searches for valid bullish and bearish three-candle imbalances.
Each detected FVG is validated using:
• Minimum gap size.
• Optional fractal confirmation.
• ATR-based filtering.
Only valid gaps enter the internal tracking system.
bullGap = bullW or bullB
bearGap = bearW or bearB
bullValid = bullGap and bullSz >= gapAtr * minGap
bearValid = bearGap and bearSz >= gapAtr * minGap
⚪ Memory & Inversion Detection
Every valid FVG is stored until one of two events occurs:
• Price never breaks the gap, and it eventually expires.
• Price breaks the gap and an opposing FVG forms before the pairing window ends.
When both conditions are satisfied, the overlapping imbalance becomes a confirmed iFVG. This allows the indicator to detect genuine reversals rather than simply highlighting every imbalance.
⚪ Zone Management
Each zone continuously updates its internal state.
A zone may transition through several stages:
• Active
• Tested
• Mitigated
• Frozen
• Removed
Depending on user settings, mitigated zones can either disappear or remain on the chart as historical context.
⚪ Dynamic Zone Merging
Nearby live zones of the same direction can optionally be merged into a single visual area. This reduces chart clutter while preserving the original internal detection logic. The merged display affects visualization only.
⚪ Distance Filtering
Charts containing hundreds of historical zones can quickly become difficult to read.
The indicator can automatically hide zones that are farther than a user-defined ATR distance from the current price. Hidden zones continue to exist internally and become visible again if price returns. This improves chart clarity without affecting detection, memory, or alerts.
█ How to Use
⚪ Bullish iFVG Retest
After a bullish iFVG forms, price retraces back into the inversion zone before finding support and continuing higher.
Rather than chasing the initial breakout, traders can wait for the retest and look for long confirmation as price reacts from the bullish iFVG.
⚪ Bearish iFVG Retest
After a bearish iFVG forms, price retraces back into the inversion zone before finding resistance and continuing lower.
Instead of entering during the initial breakdown, traders can wait for the retest and look for short confirmation as price reacts from the bearish iFVG.
█ Settings
Minimum FVG Size: Minimum ATR-adjusted size required before a Fair Value Gap is accepted.
Enable Fractal Filter: Requires FVGs to form near confirmed swing highs or lows.
Fractal Length: Controls how large a swing must be before it is confirmed.
Maximum Distance From FVG: Maximum allowed distance between the confirmed swing and the FVG.
Pairing Window: Number of bars a broken FVG remains eligible to form an iFVG.
Delete Mitigated Zones: Removes mitigated zones or freezes them as historical references.
Mitigation Level: Select whether mitigation occurs at the 50% level or after a full fill.
Mitigation Source: Uses wick touches or candle closes to confirm mitigation.
Filter Distant Zones: Hides zones that are far away from the current price.
Maximum Distance From Price: Maximum ATR distance before zones become hidden.
Merge Nearby Zones: Visually combines nearby live zones of the same type.
Maximum Merge Distance: Controls how close zones must be before they merge visually.
Fade With Age: Gradually fades older zones while keeping newer zones more prominent.

FVG Profiles [TradingIQ]Hello Traders!
🔹 FVG Profiles
FVG Profiles is a fair value gap analysis tool designed to go beyond simply drawing FVG boxes on the chart.
Instead of treating every fair value gap the same, this indicator evaluates each FVG using:
gap size
volume behind the gap
time-of-day context
remaining unfilled volume
active FVG clustering
bullish vs bearish FVG dominance
master histogram structure
local maxima gap zones
It focuses on answering a deeper question:
Where are the most important active imbalance zones on the chart?
And more importantly:
Which gaps still have meaningful volume left behind them?
🔹 What the indicator shows
🔸 Bullish & Bearish Fair Value Gaps
The indicator detects both bullish and bearish fair value gaps directly on the chart.
A bullish FVG is detected when price leaves an upside imbalance.
A bearish FVG is detected when price leaves a downside imbalance.
These gaps are then tracked as active zones until they are mitigated, expired, or fully consumed by later price action.
This allows you to see:
where bullish imbalances formed
where bearish imbalances formed
which FVGs are still active
which FVGs have been partially filled
which FVGs have been fully mitigated
🔸 Time-of-Day Filtering
One of the most important parts of this indicator is that it does not only ask:
“Did a fair value gap form?”
It also asks:
“Was this fair value gap meaningful compared to what normally happens at this time of day?”
The script tracks rolling time-of-day statistics for both:
volume
gap height
This helps compare the current FVG against historical activity from the same time of day.
The goal is to avoid treating normal market noise the same as statistically meaningful imbalance.
🔸 Gap Strictness & Volume Strictness
The indicator includes strictness filters for both gap size and volume.
These filters use z-score style thresholds to determine whether a new FVG is significant enough to display.
Available strictness levels include:
None
Low
Medium
High
Extreme
Higher strictness means fewer gaps will qualify.
Lower strictness means more gaps will be shown.
This allows you to choose whether you want a broader view of market imbalance or only the most statistically significant FVGs.
🔸 Remaining FVG Volume
Each detected FVG begins with an initial volume value.
As future candles trade back into the FVG zone, the script estimates how much of that gap volume has been consumed.
This allows each FVG to behave more like a living zone instead of a static box.
The indicator tracks:
initial FVG volume
remaining FVG volume
partial mitigation
full mitigation
bullish remaining volume
bearish remaining volume
As price overlaps the FVG, the remaining volume is reduced proportionally.
This helps show whether a gap is still meaningful or whether it has already been mostly consumed.
🔸 FVG Box Visualization
Active fair value gaps are displayed directly on the chart.
The FVG boxes update as the gap is mitigated.
When volume remains inside the zone, the box continues to show the active imbalance area.
When the FVG is fully mitigated or expires, it is removed from the chart.
Optional volume text can also be displayed inside the FVG box.
This helps you quickly see:
how much volume remains in the gap
which gaps are still active
which zones are being consumed
where price is interacting with imbalance
🔸 Master FVG Histogram
The Master Histogram is the main profile-style visualization.
Instead of only looking at individual FVGs, the indicator aggregates all active FVG zones into a single histogram.
This histogram shows where active bullish and bearish FVG volume is clustered across price.
It helps answer:
Where is active imbalance volume concentrated right now?
The histogram is drawn to the right of price and can be customized with:
number of bins
histogram offset
maximum width
KDE smoothing bandwidth
transparency
bullish colors
bearish colors
🔸 Bullish vs Bearish FVG Dominance
The Master Histogram separates bullish and bearish FVG volume.
Each price bin is colored based on whether bullish or bearish FVG volume is dominant at that level.
This allows you to quickly identify:
bullish imbalance clusters
bearish imbalance clusters
zones where one side dominates
areas where active FVG volume is concentrated
Instead of asking only:
“Where is the nearest fair value gap?”
you can ask:
“Where are active FVGs clustering across the chart?”
🔸 KDE Smoothing
The histogram includes optional smoothing using an Epanechnikov Kernel Density Estimation model.
This helps reduce noisy, blocky histogram behavior and creates a smoother profile of active FVG concentration.
Higher bandwidth creates a smoother histogram.
Lower bandwidth keeps the histogram closer to the raw FVG volume distribution.
This is useful when you want the histogram to behave more like a profile instead of a fragmented set of isolated bins.
🔸 Gap Zones / Local Maxima
The indicator can also detect local maxima inside the Master Histogram.
These are price areas where active FVG volume is locally concentrated compared to nearby bins.
When enabled, the indicator projects these levels left across the chart as Gap Zone lines.
This helps highlight:
major active imbalance clusters
high-concentration FVG zones
potential reaction areas
levels where multiple active gaps may overlap
The Gap Zone Percentile setting controls how selective these lines are.
A higher percentile shows fewer, more significant zones.
A lower percentile shows more potential gap zones.
🔹 How to read it
Each FVG box represents an active imbalance.
The Master Histogram shows where active FVG volume is concentrated across all currently tracked gaps.
The Gap Zone lines highlight local peaks in the active FVG volume profile.
Together, these views help shift your thinking from:
“There is a fair value gap here.”
to:
“This is where active imbalance volume is still concentrated.”
🔹 Example interpretations
large bullish FVG + high remaining volume → active upside imbalance still present
bearish FVG cluster above price → potential overhead imbalance zone
histogram peak near current price → price is trading into concentrated active gap volume
gap zone line aligns with structure → possible high-interest reaction area
FVG box fading or disappearing → gap has been consumed, mitigated, or expired
many active gaps clustered together → imbalance zone may be more important than a single isolated FVG
🔹 Why this indicator is useful
FVG Profiles gives you a structured way to analyze fair value gaps as dynamic volume zones.
It helps you see:
which FVGs are still active
which gaps have meaningful volume behind them
where FVG volume is clustering
whether bullish or bearish imbalance dominates a zone
how price is consuming active gaps over time
where local maxima gap zones appear
Instead of only drawing static FVG boxes, this tool attempts to quantify and profile the active imbalance still remaining in the market.
🔹 Best use cases
tracking active fair value gaps
finding clustered imbalance zones
filtering out insignificant gaps
studying FVG mitigation
identifying potential reaction levels
combining FVG analysis with market structure
enhancing liquidity, imbalance, or price-action models
🔹 Inputs you can customize
Master Profile Bins
Histogram Right Offset
Histogram Max Width
KDE Smoothing Bandwidth
Max FVGs
Max FVG Age
Gap Strictness
Volume Strictness
Time-of-Day Memory Length
Show FVG Boxes
Show Master Histogram
Show Gap Zones
Gap Zone Percentile
Show FVG Volume Text
Master Alpha
bullish and bearish histogram colors
gap zone color
🔹 Important note
This script uses volume, gap size, and time-of-day statistics to evaluate fair value gaps.
This means:
FVG significance depends on the selected strictness settings
time-of-day averages depend on the available chart history
volume behavior can vary between symbols and sessions
the Master Histogram only represents currently active tracked FVGs
gap zones are analytical reference levels, not predictive signals
This indicator is not a trading system by itself.
It is a framework for analyzing where active fair value gap volume remains and how those imbalances cluster across price.
Closing Notes
FVG Profiles is built to turn fair value gaps from static boxes into a more complete imbalance profile.
It helps you see not only where gaps formed, but where active FVG volume still remains.
As always, thank you PulseWire! Indicator
Liquidity Radar Engine [MarkitTick]💡 The financial markets operate on a continuous search for liquidity, moving dynamically from areas of consolidation to zones of unmitigated resting orders. This technical evaluation tool is engineered to objectively map these critical liquidity thresholds and provide a comprehensive framework for identifying high-probability market reversals and continuation phases. By tracking the exact interaction between historical pivot structures and real-time volume dynamics, it offers a highly systemic, algorithmic approach to charting price action.
✨ Originality and Utility
● A Synergistic Approach to Market Dynamics
Standard technical tools typically evaluate a single dimension of market data, such as momentum or trend direction, which frequently leads to fragmented analysis and false signals. This script stands out by synthesizing pure price structure, volume delta approximation, and multi-timeframe consensus into a unified visual environment. It removes the guesswork from order block and liquidity trading by mathematically defining structural shifts.
• Justification of the Integrated Logic
This tool is a deliberate fusion of price action concepts and mathematical volume filtering. Relying strictly on a breakout of a previous day's high or low can be highly susceptible to false moves and liquidity traps. By incorporating a relative volume (RVOL) filter and a proprietary candle-based delta estimation, the tool validates structural shifts with quantifiable market participation. Additionally, the inclusion of momentum divergence protocols ensures that price action is aligned with the anticipated structural pivot, filtering out low-probability setups in exhausted trends.
🔬 Methodology and Concepts
● Core Analytical Framework
The script operates by mapping significant price extremes across varying temporal horizons and evaluating the market's precise reaction when these zones are breached.
• Liquidity Sweep Detection
The algorithm constantly monitors the Highs and Lows of the Previous Day, Week, and Month. When current price action breaches one of these levels but fails to sustain the breakout—closing back inside the defined range—a sweep zone is generated. This defines a failed auction mechanism where stops may have been triggered without genuine directional follow-through from larger market participants.
• Equal Highs and Lows (EQH/EQL)
To identify resting liquidity pools, the script evaluates historical pivot points within an adjustable lookback window. Using the Average True Range (ATR) as a dynamic tolerance threshold, it mathematically defines whether two separate swing points are functionally "equal," marking them as magnetic targets for future price action.
• Structural Shifts and Displacement
Once a sweep occurs, the engine scans for a localized Change in State of Delivery (CISD). A valid shift requires displacement, which is measured by comparing the breakout candle's body size against a moving average of recent candle bodies, or by the immediate formation of a Fair Value Gap (FVG).
• Multi-Factor Validation
Signals are not generated strictly on price structure. They must pass a rigorous matrix of internal filters:
Relative Volume (RVOL): Requires the sweep or shift to occur with volume significantly exceeding the recent moving average.
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD): Approximates buying and selling pressure within the candle spread to confirm directional momentum.
Trend Alignment: Evaluates the current price against a long-term Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
Volatility Squeeze Avoidance: Uses ATR ratios to actively block signals in exceptionally low-volatility environments.
Currency Correlation: Compares the traded pair against a reference index to ensure macroeconomic alignment.
News Blackout: Blocks all signals during user-defined, high-impact news windows to protect against erratic slippage.
🎨 Visual Guide
● Chart Elements and Topography
The visual interface is meticulously designed to present complex, multi-dimensional data without obfuscating the primary candlestick action.
• Historical Liquidity Levels
PDH/PDL Lines: Displayed as subtle, translucent lines indicating the Previous Day's High and Low.
PWH/PWL Lines: Denoting the Previous Week's extremes in distinct, moderately visible hues.
PMH/PML Lines: Marking the Previous Month's extremes for macro higher-timeframe context.
Equilibrium Line: A distinct midline drawn between the daily extremes to gauge intraday premium and discount pricing.
• Structural Zones and Markers
Sweep Zones: Highlighted boxes marking the exact area of a failed breakout. Buy-side sweeps appear in a muted green-toned box, while sell-side sweeps are marked in a red-toned box. These zones feature active aging, gently fading as time progresses.
FVG Clouds: Displayed as gold or yellow background areas denoting supply/demand imbalances.
EQH/EQL Markers: Small textual annotations above or below the price, bounded by a semi-transparent box, indicating concentrated liquidity pools.
• Execution and Management Visuals
Signal Labels: Distinct text markers indicating validated Buy or Sell conditions upon bar close.
Position Boxes: When a signal is active, a structured box appears showing the Entry level (dashed neutral line), Stop Loss (dashed red line), and up to three Take Profit targets (dashed teal lines).
Heatmap Candles: The main chart candles are dynamically colored based on the dominant daily bias or RSI momentum.
• The Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Dashboard
A tabular data panel positioned on the chart displays the trend and liquidity status across three distinct timeframes. It also features a comprehensive statistics section monitoring the active trading session, the current volatility regime, the count of unfilled fair value gaps, and the dynamic risk-to-reward ratio of any open simulated positions.
📖 How to Use
● Interpreting the Data
The primary workflow involves observing the direct interaction between price velocity and the mapped structural zones.
• Executing an Analysis
Wait for a visual Sweep Zone to form, indicating that a significant historical level has been tested and rejected by the market.
Observe the Signal Labels. A signal is only printed if the internal confluence engine—validating volume, delta, and structural displacement—has fully approved the setup.
If the FVG entry model is active, wait for price to retrace into the highlighted Fair Value Gap cloud before considering the setup valid for engagement.
• Trade Management
Utilize the plotted Position Boxes to evaluate the mathematical risk profile. The entry, stop loss, and targets are drawn directly on the chart for immediate visual feedback.
Monitor the MTF Dashboard to ensure the lower timeframe execution signal is not fighting a dominant higher timeframe trend.
If Dynamic Trade Management is enabled, closely observe the Stop Loss line as it automatically trails price based on the selected ATR, Swing, or Chandelier mathematical logic.
⚙️ Inputs and Settings
● Configuration Options
The script is heavily modular, allowing for extensive adjustment of its internal validation logic.
• General and Display Limits
Toggle the visibility of specific liquidity levels (Daily, Weekly, Monthly) and limit the maximum number of historical zones, FVG clouds, or signal boxes retained on the chart to maintain a highly optimized workspace.
• Validation Filters
Volume Validation: Adjust the Moving Average length and the RVOL threshold multiplier to define what constitutes a genuine volume climax.
Delta Filter: Toggle the requirement for estimated volume delta to perfectly align with the signal direction.
Divergence Source: Choose whether the script requires RSI, MACD, or a combination of both to display divergence before validating a reversal.
ADX Threshold: Define the strict minimum trend strength required for continuation signals.
• Target and Management Settings
Risk to Reward (R:R) Inputs: Define the exact mathematical multiples for Target 1, Target 2, and Target 3.
Position Sizing: Input an account balance and risk percentage to have the engine calculate the exact unit size for the plotted setup.
Trailing Logic: Select between None, ATR-based, Swing-based, or Chandelier-based trailing stops, complete with user-defined multiplier adjustments and partial profit scaling.
• Dashboard and Visual Preferences
Modify the specific timeframes monitored by the MTF panel, alter its position, and heavily customize the color palettes for all sweep zones, lines, heatmaps, and interface text.
🔍 Deconstruction of the Underlying Scientific and Academic Framework
● Theoretical Foundations
The architecture of this script is grounded in several well-documented financial theories, primarily focusing on Auction Market Theory and the statistical modeling of price volatility distributions.
• Auction Market Theory and Liquidity
The core premise of the sweep detection logic rests securely on the concept of order matching and liquidity cascades. Markets move constantly to facilitate trade, frequently gravitating toward areas with a high density of resting stop orders, such as historical highs and lows. When these areas are breached but fail to attract aggressive participation, the auction process is deemed to have failed. This script mathematically quantifies these failed auctions by tracking the spatial relationship between the breakout wick and the closing price relative to the historical pivot.
• Statistical Variance and Normalization
The tool heavily utilizes the Average True Range (ATR) as a core normalization factor. Financial time series exhibit continuous heteroskedasticity, meaning volatility varies over time. Hardcoding a fixed point-value for concepts like "Equal Highs" or "Trailing Stops" is mathematically flawed. By utilizing ATR ratios, the algorithm rapidly adapts its spatial thresholds to the current standard deviation of price movement, ensuring highly consistent behavior across varying market regimes and asset classes.
• Momentum Divergence and Rate of Change
The inclusion of oscillators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) serves to measure the first and second derivatives of price—specifically velocity and acceleration. By actively requiring a divergence between price extremes and momentum extremes, the script effectively filters for environments where the kinetic energy of the prevailing trend is decaying, thereby increasing the statistical probability of a mean-reverting event or structural reversal.
• Volume Delta Approximation
While granular tick data is technically required for an exact volume delta calculation, the script employs a highly robust approximation algorithm that distributes volume proportionally across the candle's spread. This provides a quantifiable metric of localized supply and demand imbalances, adhering strictly to the Wyckoffian principle of Effort versus Result, ensuring that price moves are backed by actual transactional weight.

Inversion FVG (iFVG) by EonMetricsInversion FVG (iFVG) by EonMetrics
🔶 WHAT IT DOES
A "fair value gap" (FVG) is a three-candle pattern where price moved so fast that the wicks of the first and third candle never overlapped — leaving a void on the chart that the market skipped over. While an FVG is fresh, traders typically expect a bullish gap to act as support and a bearish gap as resistance.
This indicator focuses on the moment that expectation FAILS — and on how it fails. An inversion FVG (iFVG) happens when price displaces through an existing gap with enough force to print a NEW fair value gap in the opposite direction, overlapping the old one. The inversion zone drawn by this script is the COMMON GROUND of those two opposing gaps — the price area where both imbalances intersect. That is where one side got trapped: broken demand turns into supply, broken supply turns into demand, and the market tends to defend that exact area when price returns to it.
It is a structure-annotation tool: it shows you where these events happen and how significant they were. It deliberately does not give buy/sell signals, entries, targets, stops, or win-rate statistics.
🔶 HOW THIS SCRIPT IS DIFFERENT
Most inversion-FVG tools use a simple rule: when a candle closes through a gap, the whole gap is recolored and called inverted. This script uses a stricter, structural definition, and adds level-management logic around it:
1. Two gaps required, intersection drawn. A slow drift through an FVG does not create an inversion here. The traversal must be violent enough to leave a fresh FVG in the opposite direction, and the zone drawn is only the overlap of the two gaps — the exact prices where the old imbalance and the new one coincide — not the whole original gap.
2. Spent levels never invert. The first candle close through the far side of a gap opens a short pairing window. If no opposing gap confirms within it, the level is considered spent and permanently dropped. Levels that price has already chopped through several times can never produce a late, meaningless inversion zone.
3. Levels are remembered independently of what you see. A gap's box may be mitigated and removed from the chart, yet its price range keeps working invisibly as a candidate level for a configurable number of bars. The displacement that flips a level often arrives well after the gap was first touched — display and detection are deliberately separated.
4. Partial consumption. When an opposing gap overlaps only part of a remembered level, only that part is consumed; the remainder stays available. A small opposing gap therefore cannot "steal" a large level from a later, proper displacement. One inverting gap can flip several remembered levels at once, and the resulting zones never overlap each other.
5. Two-condition strength grading. An inversion is tagged STRONG only when the inverting gap is both large relative to volatility AND backed by elevated volume on its displacement candle — size or volume alone is not enough.
🔶 HOW IT DETECTS EACH EVENT (THE EXACT METHOD)
1. Regular FVG: on every closed bar the script checks the classic three-candle condition — for a bullish gap, the current bar's low must be above the high from two bars ago (mirrored for bearish). Gaps smaller than a chosen multiple of ATR (a standard volatility unit, measured at the moment the gap forms) are ignored. By default these regular gaps stay INVISIBLE — they are tracked in the background purely as raw material for inversions, so the chart shows only what the tool is about: the inversion zones. One switch reveals them as a quiet context layer if you want to see what may flip next.
2. Regular FVG expiry (display): each displayed gap lives until price mitigates it, by your rules — at its 50% midpoint or only on a full fill, touched by any wick or requiring a candle close. Mitigated gaps disappear, or stay frozen as reference if you prefer. This controls only what you SEE.
3. Level memory (detection): independently of the display, every detected gap's price range is remembered for a set number of bars from its creation (Inversion Memory). A remembered level dies early if price closes through its far side and no opposing gap confirms within the pairing window (Pairing Window After Break) — that level is spent.
4. Inversion (iFVG): when a fresh gap forms in the OPPOSITE direction of a remembered level and their price ranges overlap, the inversion fires:
- The drawn zone is the intersection of the two full gaps: its top is the lower of the two gap tops, its bottom is the higher of the two gap bottoms.
- An overlap thinner than the Min FVG Size threshold neither draws a zone nor consumes the level.
- The zone is colored by its new role: support (a bearish gap was displaced upward through) or resistance (a bullish gap was displaced downward through).
- The zone is drawn starting from the ORIGINAL gap's origin, so you see the full history of the level — from the moment the imbalance first appeared, through the displacement that flipped it.
- The zone's age counter, retest and expiry logic are anchored at the inversion moment, not at the original gap.
5. Strong grading: the NEW (inverting) gap is measured. If its height is at least a chosen multiple of ATR AND the volume of its displacement candle exceeds the 20-bar volume average by a chosen multiplier, the inversion is tagged STRONG — the old gap was taken out with conviction on real participation, not by low-volume drift.
6. Inversion zone life: each iFVG shows its 50% equilibrium line (the consequent encroachment level), an age counter in bars, fires an alert on the first retest from outside, and expires by the same mitigation rules as regular gaps (50% or full, wick or close) once price trades through it against its new role.
Everything is evaluated on closed bars only, so zones, colors and labels do not repaint.
🔶 HOW TO ACTUALLY USE IT (STEP BY STEP)
1. Out of the box you see only inversion zones — that is the point of the tool. If you also want the raw material (regular gaps that may flip later), enable "Show Regular FVGs" and they appear as quiet green/red context boxes.
2. When a colored inversion zone appears, read its meaning: orange resistance = former demand that got displaced through downward; cyan support = former supply that got displaced through upward.
3. Give more weight to zones tagged STRONG — the inverting gap was large and backed by elevated volume, which traders treat as a more meaningful role-flip than a quiet leak.
4. The first return of price into the zone is the moment most iFVG traders wait for (there is a dedicated retest alert). Watch how price reacts there — rejection confirms the new role, a pass-through negates it.
5. The gray line inside each zone is its 50% midpoint (EQ) — many traders use it as the precise reaction level rather than the zone edges.
6. The age counter (e.g. "34b") tells you how long a zone has existed since its inversion — fresh zones are generally considered more reliable than stale ones, and you can enable fading to de-emphasize old zones automatically.
7. Combine with your own analysis of trend and higher-timeframe levels. The indicator describes structure; it does not predict.
If you want the full life cycle of REGULAR fair value gaps (creation, strength grading and retest alerts while they still act in their original direction), that is what our free Smart FVG indicator does — this tool picks up where it ends, at the moment a gap fails and flips. Both use the same visual language, so they pair naturally.
🔶 EVERY SETTING EXPLAINED
🔵Visualization group
- Bullish FVG / Bearish FVG — colors of the quiet regular-gap context layer.
- iFVG Support / iFVG Resistance — colors of the inversion zones.
- Show Regular FVGs — off by default: only inversion zones are displayed. Turn on to also see the not-yet-inverted gaps as context (hidden gaps are still tracked, so inversions keep firing either way).
- Show 50% Line (EQ) / EQ Line Color — the midpoint line inside each zone.
- Width Mode — how zones extend to the right: Dynamic (to the current bar), Fixed (a set number of bars), or Extended (infinitely).
- Fixed Width (bars) — zone width when Fixed mode is selected.
- Min FVG Size (x ATR) — the smallest height that registers, applied twice: to every new gap AND to the common ground of the two gaps (an overlap thinner than this neither draws a zone nor consumes the level); 0 disables both checks.

🔵Mitigation group
- Delete Mitigated Zones — remove finished zones, or freeze them on the chart as reference.
- Mitigation Level — a zone is finished when price reaches its 50% midpoint, or only on a full fill.
- Mitigation Confirmation — what must reach that level: any wick, or a candle close.
- Inversion Memory (bars) — how long each detected gap's range stays eligible to form inversions, counted from the gap's creation and independent of when its box disappears from the chart. Larger = more inversions detected, including from older levels.
- Pairing Window After Break (bars) — once price CLOSES through the far side of a remembered gap, the opposing gap must confirm within this many bars for the inversion to count. If it does not, the level is treated as spent and dropped.

🔶 WHAT THIS TOOL DELIBERATELY DOES NOT DO
No buy or sell signals, no take-profit or stop-loss levels, no win-rate dashboard. Detecting a structural pattern is not the same as having a tradable edge, and presenting pattern marks as trade signals would overstate what any indicator of this kind can honestly claim.

Smart FVG by EonMetricsSMART FVG
What it does
A "Fair Value Gap" (FVG) is a small gap left behind in price when a move happens so fast that a whole price area gets skipped over — nobody actually traded there. It shows up as a gap between three candles in a row. These gaps often get "filled" later, meaning price comes back to trade through that skipped area before continuing on its way (or reversing). This indicator finds these gaps automatically and draws a box around each one.
It also tells you which gaps look more important: a gap is marked "STRONG" only when BOTH of these are true at the same time — the gap is unusually large (measured against recent average volatility) AND the candle that created it traded on unusually high volume. Both conditions have to be true together; a big gap on quiet volume, or high volume with only a small gap, does not count as Strong. This two-part check is stricter than simply flagging "any big gap," which is what most similar tools do.
How to actually use it (step by step)
Let gaps form naturally as price moves. Each one is drawn as a colored box — green/cyan-ish tones for bullish (demand) gaps, red/orange tones for bearish (supply) gaps.
Pay extra attention to boxes marked "STRONG" — these represent a real, forceful, high-conviction move, not just random noise.
When price comes back down (or up) into a gap box, that's a potential trade opportunity — buy near a bullish gap, sell near a bearish gap — especially reacting at the dotted 50% line drawn through the middle of the box.
Look at the small number in the corner of each box — it counts how many candles ago the gap formed. A small number (fresh gap) is generally considered more reliable than a large number (old, already-tested-many-times gap).
If you turn on the higher-timeframe overlay, you'll also see gaps from a bigger timeframe (marked "HTF") plotted directly on your current chart — these represent bigger, more significant levels than same-timeframe gaps.
Every setting explained
Visualization group
Bullish FVG / Bearish FVG — the fill color for ordinary gaps.
Strong Bullish FVG / Strong Bearish FVG — the fill color for gaps that pass the "Strong" test above.
Show 50% Line (EQ) — draws a line through the exact middle of every gap box; this is a common spot for price to react to.
EQ Line Color.
Width Mode — controls how far the box stretches to the right: "Dynamic" keeps growing the box to reach today's candle in real time, "Fixed" stops the box at a set number of candles wide, "Extended" stretches the box all the way to the right edge of your screen forever.
Fixed Width (bars) — how many candles wide the box is, only used when Width Mode is set to Fixed.
Min FVG Size (x ATR) — the smallest gap size the script will bother drawing, measured against recent average volatility. Raise this to ignore tiny, insignificant gaps; set to 0 to see every gap no matter how small.
Mitigation group (mitigation = "price has now traded back through the gap")
Delete Mitigated Zones — when turned on, a gap box disappears completely once price fills it. When off, it stops growing and stays on the chart as a faded historical marker.
Mitigation Level — decide what counts as "filled": either price reaching the halfway (50%) point of the gap, or price completely closing the entire gap.
Mitigation Confirmation — decide what counts as reaching that level: any wick poking into it ("Wicks"), or a full candle close past it ("Close" — stricter, fewer false triggers).
Imbalance Age group
Show Age Label — displays a small number (like "34b") showing how many candles ago the gap was created.
Fade Old Zones — when turned on, gap boxes slowly become more transparent as they age, so your eye is naturally drawn to the freshest ones.
Max Age for Full Fade (bars) — how many candles it takes for a gap to reach maximum fade/transparency.
Strong Imbalance group
Mark Strong Imbalances — master on/off switch for the whole Strong-gap detection described above.
Min Gap Size (x ATR) — how big the gap must be (relative to recent volatility) to count toward "Strong" — this is one of the two required conditions.
Min Volume (x SMA 20) — how much higher than the recent 20-candle average volume the gap-forming candle's volume must be — this is the second required condition. Both this and the size condition must be true at the same time.
Show 'STRONG' Tag — shows the word "STRONG" written inside qualifying gap boxes.
Labels group
Show Labels — master switch for all text written inside gap boxes (age number, STRONG tag, HTF tag). Turn this off to hide all text and keep only the colored boxes.
Label Text Color.
MTF FVG group (MTF = "multiple timeframes")
Show Higher Timeframe FVGs — turns on the overlay of gaps from a bigger timeframe, drawn directly on your current chart.
Higher Timeframe — which bigger timeframe to pull gaps from (should be higher than whatever timeframe you're currently viewing).
HTF Bullish FVG / HTF Bearish FVG — colors for these imported higher-timeframe gaps.
Show HTF Label — shows an "HTF" tag inside these imported gaps so you can tell them apart from same-timeframe ones. Indicator
ApexSignalPro SMC [ForexCracked]🔵 OVERVIEW
ApexSignalPro SMC is a confluence-scored Smart Money Concepts indicator that fires a signal only when multiple institutional footprints align on the same bar. Every signal carries a live score from 0 to 5 showing how many structural conditions agree — market structure, order blocks, fair value gaps, premium/discount location, and higher-timeframe bias.
Instead of the "every crossover is a signal" approach, it uses a strict confluence gate, a range-regime filter, and forced signal alternation — far fewer signals, much higher conviction. A live dashboard shows the score, active zones, and the last trade plan at a glance.
🔵 WHY THESE COMPONENTS ARE COMBINED
A break of structure alone, an order-block touch alone, or a single fair value gap all fire often and fail often. They become far more reliable when they occur together and agree with the higher-timeframe trend. Rather than overlaying five separate tools and leaving you to judge them, this script quantifies their agreement into one 0–5 score and only trades when enough align. Three principles guide it:
• Direction comes from market structure (BOS / CHoCH), not from price crossing smoothed averages
• Entries require confluence, never a single condition
• Signals alternate (BUY → SELL → BUY), never stacking the same direction in one leg
🔵 THE FIVE SCORED FACTORS (1 point each)
1️⃣ Market structure (BOS / CHoCH) points in the signal direction
2️⃣ Price is inside an unmitigated order block
3️⃣ Price is inside an unmitigated fair value gap
4️⃣ Correct half of the range — discount for longs, premium for shorts
5️⃣ Higher-timeframe EMA bias agrees
🔵 HOW A SIGNAL FIRES A BUY or SELL prints only when ALL of these are true:
• The confluence score meets your minimum (default 3 of 5)
• A strong-bodied candle closes in that direction
• The ADX regime filter confirms trending, not ranging
• The signal is opposite the previous one (forced alternation) Each signal draws Entry, Stop (beyond the nearest order block + ATR buffer), and Take Profit (configurable R:R), with pip labels.
🔵 HOW IT READS THE MARKET
• Market structure — confirmed swing pivots; a close beyond the last pivot is a BOS, the first break against structure is a CHoCH that flips the state
• Order blocks — the last opposing candle before an impulsive displacement (body > 1.2× ATR); tracked until mitigated or aged out
• Fair value gaps — three-candle imbalances filtered by a minimum ATR size; removed when filled
• Premium / discount — the swing-range midpoint splits discount (below) from premium (above) • Regime — ADX must exceed your minimum, suppressing signals in flat ranges
🔵 HOW TO USE
• Favour score 4–5 signals; treat score 3 with extra confirmation
• Require the dashboard HTF bias to match the signal for trend-aligned entries
• Use retests of unmitigated OBs or FVGs in the trend direction as continuation entries
• Size each trade off the drawn stop distance at a fixed account risk
• Raise Min Confluences to 4 for fewer, stronger signals
🔵 RECOMMENDED SETTINGS
• Swing Length: 5
• Higher Timeframe: 240 (H4) on H1 charts, D on H4 charts
• HTF EMA: 50 · OB Max Age: 20 · FVG Min Size: 0.3× ATR
• ADX Min: 22 · Min Confluences: 3 · SL Buffer: 0.5× ATR · R:R: 2.0
🔵 BEST / WEAKEST CONDITIONS ✅ Trending majors, gold, and indices on H1–H4; London / New York overlap ⚠️ Low-volatility ranges, gapped markets, and sub-5-minute noise

Smart Money Concept [martineye15]Smart Money Concepts Toolkit — an all-in-one Smart Money / ICT overlay that auto-detects and draws the core concepts on any symbol and timeframe, then ties them together with a multi-factor confluence filter and a built-in risk:reward trade planner.
WHAT IT DRAWS
- Market structure: swing pivots labelled HH / HL / LH / LL, with Break of Structure (BOS, continuation) and Change of Character (CHoCH, first counter-trend break) and a persistent trend state. An optional faster "internal" structure stream can run alongside the major one.
- Liquidity: Equal Highs / Lows (EQH / EQL) detected within an ATR-based tolerance, plus liquidity sweeps / stop hunts (a wick beyond a prior swing that closes back inside).
- Order blocks: the last opposite-colour candle before a structural break, extended until mitigated. Choose Touch or Close mitigation, wick or body range, swing or internal origin, and optional breaker blocks.
- Fair value gaps: 3-candle imbalances, extended until filled, with Touch or Close fill logic and an option to keep only unfilled gaps.
- Premium / discount: dynamic zones from the current dealing range with a 50% equilibrium line and an optional OTE band (0.62-0.79).
- Sessions / kill zones: optional Asia / London / New York shading with a configurable timezone and session times.
CONFLUENCE ENGINE (optional)
A discreet long/short marker that prints only when the factors YOU enable all agree - any combination of: price in discount/premium, a BOS/CHoCH in the trade direction, an unmitigated order block, an unfilled FVG, an opposing liquidity sweep, and higher-timeframe bias alignment via an HTF EMA. A recency window controls how fresh an event must be to still count. Signals evaluate on bar close and only on the first bar the conditions are met, so they do not spam or flip intrabar.
TRADE SETUP (Risk:Reward)
When enabled, each confluence signal draws a full plan: an entry (market at the signal close, or a limit at the order-block midpoint), a stop anchored to the order block / swing point / ATR that would invalidate the idea (plus an ATR buffer), and TP1 to TP4 placed at your chosen R multiples. Levels project forward and the lines are draggable, so you can fine-tune the plan by hand.
ALERTS
Ready-made alerts for BOS, CHoCH, new bullish/bearish order block, new bullish/bearish FVG, liquidity sweep, and confluence long/short.
HOW TO USE
Add it to a standard candlestick chart. Read the market with structure, liquidity and premium/discount; use order blocks and fair value gaps as areas of interest; then, if you want a filter, enable the confluence engine and turn on only the factors that fit your approach. Enable the trade setup to auto-draw a structure-anchored R:R plan on each signal, and set alerts on the events you care about. Every module toggles independently, so you can keep the chart as clean or as detailed as you like.
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
Instead of isolating a single SMC concept, it unifies structure, liquidity, order blocks, FVGs, premium/discount and session timing, and adds two things on top: a configurable confluence filter that only signals when multiple user-chosen factors align, and an integrated R:R planner that anchors the stop to the actual level that invalidates the trade and projects targets by R multiple.
REPAINTING & LIMITATIONS
All structural logic is based on confirmed pivots and closed candles; fair value gaps are committed only on a confirmed bar; the higher-timeframe bias uses the previous closed HTF bar. Pivots appear after their lookback (the normal pivot lag), which is not repainting. Live drawings such as order blocks and premium/discount zones update as the current, unclosed bar develops and as new pivots confirm; this is expected behaviour, not a change to confirmed history.
This is a visual, decision-support tool. It is not a strategy, it produces no orders or performance statistics, and it is not financial advice. Indicator
Smart Money Concepts Engine [Quantum Algo]Smart Money Concepts Engine
====================================================
🔶 OVERVIEW
Smart Money Concepts Engine is an all-in-one smart money concepts (SMC) indicator that unifies market structure, order blocks, fair value gaps with inversions, liquidity, and premium and discount analysis into a single engine — and then goes one layer deeper than drawing tools: it scores the confluence of everything on the chart into a transparent zero-to-one-hundred Confluence Score, and narrates the current market read in plain language on a live dashboard.
Most smart money indicators draw concepts and leave the interpretation to you. This engine interprets. At any moment the dashboard answers the questions an institutional-style trader actually asks: What is the structure doing on both tiers? Has liquidity been taken? Is price in premium or discount? Are there fresh zones nearby? How much of this stacks together right now?
🔶 WHAT ARE SMART MONEY CONCEPTS?
Smart money concepts describe how large market participants leave footprints in price: they break structure to reveal intent (Break of Structure and Change of Character), they enter from unmitigated zones of prior aggression (order blocks), they leave imbalances behind fast moves (fair value gaps), they engineer stop runs above equal highs and below equal lows (liquidity sweeps), and they favor buying in the discount half of a range and selling in the premium half. This engine detects, draws, and tracks the life cycle of every one of these elements.
🔶 WHY THIS SCRIPT IS ORIGINAL
1. Confluence Score. A transparent zero-to-one-hundred score built from five weighted, observable conditions: swing and internal structure alignment (25), correct premium or discount positioning for the bias (25), a fresh order block near price (20), imbalance confluence (15), and a recent liquidity sweep in the supportive direction (15). Every point is explainable — nothing is a black box.
2. Narrative engine. The dashboard writes the market read as a plain-language story that updates live, for example: "Bullish structure — sell-side taken — price in discount — demand below." No interpretation gap between what the chart shows and what it means.
3. Zone life cycle everywhere. Order blocks are born fresh, brighten when tested, and are removed the moment they are mitigated — the chart only ever shows zones that still matter. Fair value gaps flip into inversion zones when violated and are removed on the second violation. Equal highs and equal lows are struck through and relabeled the moment they are swept.
4. Volume-graded zones. Every order block is labeled with the relative volume of its origin candle (for example "Demand · 1.8× Volume"), so zone quality is visible at a glance.
5. Dual-tier structure. Swing structure (Break of Structure and Change of Character with lines and labels) and internal structure (compact context markers) are tracked as two independent bias states — and their agreement or disagreement feeds the score.
6. Graded zone-tap signals. When price returns to a fresh zone while both structure tiers align and price sits on the correct side of equilibrium, the engine prints a signal stamped with the live Confluence Score. High-scoring signals are highlighted in the accent color.
7. Anti-clutter engineering. Sweep detection carries per-level memory and a cooldown so the same level can never stack duplicate labels. Every drawing family is capped by input, keeping the chart readable and the auto-scale anchored to current price.
🔶 HOW IT WORKS
Market structure: Swing highs and lows are confirmed with a symmetric pivot lookback. A candle close through a confirmed swing level prints a Break of Structure (BoS) in trend continuation or a Change of Character (CHoCH) on reversal, on both the swing tier and the internal tier. All events are evaluated on closed bars only, so structure and signals do not repaint.
Order blocks: On every swing structure break, the engine locates the origin candle of the move — the last opposite candle before the impulse — and projects it forward as a demand or supply zone, graded by the relative volume of that candle. Zones brighten on first touch and are removed when price closes through them.
Fair value gaps: Three-candle imbalances above a minimum size (measured in Average True Range) are boxed. When price closes through a gap, it flips into an inversion zone acting in the opposite direction; a second violation removes it. Gap detection runs in the background for the Confluence Score even when drawing is disabled.
Liquidity: Consecutive swing highs or lows within a tolerance form Equal Highs (EQH) or Equal Lows (EQL) — resting liquidity lines that follow price. A wick through the level with a close back inside marks a sweep: the line is struck through, relabeled, and the event feeds the score. Single-pivot stop hunts are detected the same way, with per-level memory preventing duplicates.
Premium and discount: The range between the last confirmed swing high and low is mapped into premium, equilibrium, and discount, with deeper tinting in the extreme quartiles. The dashboard reports the live position as a percentage of the range.
Dashboard: A compact, fully themeable panel shows swing bias, internal bias, last event, range position, liquidity status, fresh demand and supply counts, imbalance count, the Confluence Score with a strength meter, and the narrative. Text size, position, and every color are adjustable, and long narrative text wraps inside its cell to keep the panel compact.
🔶 HOW TO USE IT
1. Works on any market — cryptocurrency, forex, gold, indices, stocks, futures — and any timeframe. The engine adapts structure size through the swing and internal length inputs.
2. Read the dashboard top to bottom: bias on both tiers, what just happened, where price sits in the range, and whether liquidity has been taken.
3. The highest-quality condition is full alignment: both tiers agree, a sweep has occurred against the move, price trades on the correct side of equilibrium, and a fresh volume-graded zone waits nearby — exactly what the Confluence Score measures.
4. Treat zone-tap signals as locations of interest stamped with their context quality, not as automatic entries. A score above eighty means nearly everything aligns; below fifty means the setup is thin.
5. Use inversion zones as polarity flips: a violated imbalance often acts as support or resistance from the other side.
6. Fair value gap drawing is off by default for a cleaner chart; enable it in settings — the score uses gap information either way.
🔶 SETTINGS
- Swing and internal structure lengths, structure events to keep.
- Order blocks: origin candle lookback and zones to keep.
- Fair value gaps: minimum size, inversion tracking, gaps to keep (drawing off by default).
- Liquidity: equal level tolerance and levels to keep.
- Premium and discount map with adjustable extension.
- Zone tap signals and signals to keep.
- All chart colors, plus a fully themeable dashboard: position, four text sizes, title band, background, frame, grid, and three text colors.
🔶 ALERTS
- Bullish / Bearish Break of Structure
- Bullish / Bearish Change of Character
- Buy-Side / Sell-Side Liquidity Sweep
- Demand Zone Tap / Supply Zone Tap (score-stamped)
- Fair Value Gap Inversion
🔶 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Does the indicator repaint? No. Structure events, sweeps, inversions, and signals are evaluated on closed bars at confirmed pivots. Pivot confirmation introduces intentional lag equal to the structure length.
What does the Confluence Score mean? It is a transparent sum of five weighted conditions, not a prediction. It measures how much of the smart money checklist is currently aligned — a context meter, not a probability of profit.
Why did an order block disappear? It was mitigated: price closed through it. The engine removes dead zones so the chart only shows levels that still matter.
Why do sweeps print only once at a level? Each swing level carries sweep memory and a cooldown, preventing the duplicate label stacking common in liquidity tools.
Which markets and timeframes work best? All markets with candle data. Higher timeframes produce larger, cleaner structures; the internal tier keeps lower timeframes readable.
🔶 CREDITS
The smart money concepts implemented here — order blocks, fair value gaps, liquidity sweeps, break of structure, change of character, and premium and discount — are trading concepts popularized by the Inner Circle Trader methodology of Michael J. Huddleston, with intellectual roots in the market logic of Richard D. Wyckoff. This script gratefully acknowledges that lineage. The confluence scoring model, the narrative engine, the zone life cycle system, the volume grading, the anti-duplication sweep memory, and all code in this script are original work
🔶 LIMITATIONS
Structure detection is only as good as the chosen pivot lengths; very noisy instruments may need larger values. Volume grading is less meaningful on symbols with unreliable volume reporting. Removed zones are not kept as historical artifacts. The Confluence Score measures alignment, not outcome. No indicator replaces independent analysis.

Fair Value Gap (FVG) Supply & Demand Zones [JPT]🔷 OVERVIEW
Fair Value Gap (FVG) Supply & Demand Zones is a market structure indicator that automatically detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) together with Supply and Demand Zones to help traders identify potential areas where price may react.
The indicator continuously scans price action for imbalance formations and plots dynamic zones directly on the chart. When price revisits these areas, the indicator highlights potential reaction zones while displaying LONG and SHORT signals based on its programmed logic.
Designed with a clean visual layout, the indicator helps traders monitor market structure without manually drawing imbalance or supply and demand zones.
🔷 HOW IT WORKS
The indicator continuously analyzes price action to identify market imbalances and institutional trading zones.
When qualifying conditions are met, it automatically:
• Detects Bullish Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
• Detects Bearish Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
• Identifies Demand Zones
• Identifies Supply Zones
• Tracks active zones until they are mitigated
• Displays LONG and SHORT signals according to the indicator's programmed conditions
• Updates zones dynamically as new market structure develops
This provides traders with a structured view of areas where price may revisit before continuing or changing direction.
📈 Bullish Demand Setup
1. A bullish imbalance creates a Fair Value Gap.
2. A Demand Zone is established.
3. Price retraces into the zone.
4. The indicator highlights the area and may display a LONG signal when its programmed conditions are satisfied.
📉 Bearish Supply Setup
1. A bearish imbalance creates a Fair Value Gap.
2. A Supply Zone is established.
3. Price revisits the supply area.
4. The indicator highlights the zone and may display a SHORT signal when its programmed conditions are satisfied.
📊 Dynamic Market Structure
Throughout changing market conditions, the indicator continuously updates:
• Bullish Fair Value Gaps
• Bearish Fair Value Gaps
• Supply Zones
