Entry Logic
BUY Setup
Sell-Side Liquidity Sweep
→ Bullish Reclaim
→ Strong Bullish Candle
→ Trend Confirmation
→ REAPER BUY
SELL Setup
Buy-Side Liquidity Sweep
→ Bearish Reclaim
→ Strong Bearish Candle

It waits for liquidity to be taken — then looks for confirmation.
Built for traders who want a cleaner and more structured approach to liquidity-based entries.
Liquidity Reaper Entry + Auto Targets Indicator
ICT FVG DetectorThis indicator identifies ICT Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on any timeframe and overlays them as clean, interactive zones directly on your chart. It covers both standard imbalances and higher-timeframe (HTF) imbalances transposed onto lower timeframes — a core concept in ICT-based trading.
What it detects
BISI (Buy-side Imbalance, Sell-side Inefficiency) — bullish FVGs where a gap exists between the high of bar and the low of bar
SIBI (Sell-side Imbalance, Buy-side Inefficiency) — bearish FVGs where a gap exists between the low of bar and the high of bar
Displacement FVGs — tagged when the middle candle of the 3-bar pattern (the actual displacement candle) trades through the most recent confirmed swing high or low, signalling a genuine structure break
HTF Alignment
FVGs from the next-higher relevant timeframe are automatically transposed onto the current chart as gray-shaded zones, making it easy to identify where higher-timeframe imbalances sit without switching charts.
Valid pairs:
Chart timeframe HTF source
1m 15m
5m 1H
15m 4H
1H Daily
4H Weekly
Daily Monthly
HTF zones are visually distinct (gray fill) so they never compete with native FVGs. On unsupported timeframes, HTF zones are simply not drawn.
Features
Four draw styles: Lines + Fill, Lines Only, Fill Only, Boxes
Solid, dashed, or dotted boundary lines
Extend zones to current bar or a fixed number of bars
Mitigation tracking — zones dim or delete once price trades back through them (configurable separately for native and HTF FVGs)
Invisible hover labels positioned at the vertical midpoint of each zone — hover to instantly identify the gap type without cluttering the chart
Alerts for new BISI, SIBI, Displacement BISI, and Displacement SIBI
Settings
All inputs are grouped into five sections: FVG Detection, Swing / Displacement, Display, Mitigation, and HTF Alignment — making it straightforward to tune each layer independently.

Strong Gold H4 Pressure Zones | ProjectSyndicateStrong Gold H4 Pressure Zones
Strong Gold H4 Pressure Zones maps the gold trading day the way it actually moves — split into its true H4 rhythm — and reads three institutional layers on every candle slot: which parts of the session run hot, where the previous candle's wick left unfinished business, and where price gapped away from value. It is built to run on the M5 timeframe — M5 is the execution resolution the whole engine is calibrated to, while it thinks in H4, so you see the higher-timeframe structure forming live on your chart. Load it on an M5 XAUUSD chart for correct slot alignment and zone behaviour.
Most session tools just draw a box around the day. This one grades every H4 slot, projects the pressure the last candle built, and marks the gaps — all anchored to the daily candle open, identical for every trader on the planet.
🕐 True Gold-Day Slot Engine — the core. The gold day (≈23h with its 1-hour technical break) is sliced into six real periods: an H3 opening block, then five H4 candles — aligned to the actual 04:00 / 08:00 / 12:00 / 16:00 / 20:00 boundaries, not a naïve 4-hour count. Every slot is drawn as a shaded box built live from that slot's own high/low, anchored to the daily candle's open so the zones are the same in Miami, Dubai or Singapore regardless of chart timezone.
⏱️ Runs on M5 — by design. This indicator is meant to be applied on the M5 timeframe. The six H4 slots are built up tick by tick from M5 candles, and the pressure, volatility and FVG zones are all calibrated to that resolution. Apply it to an M5 chart — other timeframes will not slice the gold day correctly.
📊 20% Increment Grid — read position at a glance. Each slot box is split by horizontal guides at 0 / 20 / 40 / 60 / 80 / 100% of its range, labelled on the right. Instantly see whether price is pressing the extremes of the current H4 or coiling in the middle — the exact levels institutions lean on within a candle.
🌋 30-Day Session Volatility Profile — the rhythm read. This is not the current candle's volatility. Each of the six slots is averaged over the last 30 days and the six averages are ranked against each other 0–10, printing a fixed grade on every slot — CALM, MODERATE, HIGH, EXTREME. You learn which H4 windows of the gold session typically explode and which drift, so you size and time around the day's real character instead of guessing. The rank is static and colour-graded (calm teal → extreme purple), only drifting slowly as the rolling window updates.
🧲 Prior-Candle Pressure Zones — the wick memory. The heart of the tool. The moment a slot closes, it's read as a single composite H4 candle and its dominant wick is projected forward as a fixed pressure band inside the next slot:
A strong upper wick on the prior candle → SELL PRESSURE zone near the top (rejection from above — supply left overhead).
A strong lower wick on the prior candle → BUY PRESSURE zone near the bottom (rejection from below — demand left beneath).
Each band is graded 0–10 on wick dominance and printed with its score (▲ BUY PRESSURE 8.4/10 · ▼ SELL PRESSURE 7.2/10), opacity scaling with strength. These are fixed the instant the prior candle closes — they never repaint.
🔀 Prior-Slot Fair Value Gap — the imbalance carry-over. A true three-candle FVG detected on the H4 slots themselves (the slots are the candles), projected as a clean Fair Value Gap zone into the current slot, normalized to one uniform ATR-based height so no single gap swallows the chart. An optional gap-size filter keeps the noise out. You see the imbalance the last three candles left, drawn where it matters, without the clutter.
🎨 Fully Themed & Configurable. Volatility-graded box tones, custom buy/sell pressure and FVG colours, neutral increment grid, adjustable opacities, 2× increment and rank label sizing, per-module toggles, configurable opening-block / break / slot hours, volatility lookback, wick thresholds, FVG ATR length / extend / height, and sessions-to-plot depth.
🔒 Honest, Fixed-Zone Core. The live slot box repaints in price as the candle forms — inherent to showing a real-time H4 building on M5, not a defect. But every fixed output — the pressure bands, the FVG, the volatility rank — is locked to the prior completed candle and never redraws to flatter the chart. The 0–10 scores are descriptive ranking frameworks for directing attention, not backtested signals.
🚀 Built for XAUUSD on the M5 timeframe — the slot model matches gold's 23-hour day and 1-hour break out of the box. Use it on an M5 gold chart (adjust the hour inputs for other instruments).
🎯 How To Trade It — Pressure From The Prior H4
⏱️ Load the indicator on an M5 XAUUSD chart before anything else — the entire slot model is built for M5.
Everything hinges on one read: the last H4 candle told you where price got rejected — trade the current candle expecting that pressure to hold, or break with conviction when it fails.
◾ 1) Fade into a prior-candle pressure zone (the core thesis)
Use when the previous H4 left a strong wick and the current slot rotates back into that band.
▪️ The prior candle prints a strong lower wick → a graded BUY PRESSURE zone sits in the lower portion of the current slot. Buyers already defended there once. ▪️ Wait for price to rotate down into that band inside the current slot — ideally near the 0–20% increment level. ▪️ Entry: long as price reacts inside the buy-pressure zone; the higher the score (7+), the more the prior candle insisted on that level. ▪️ Stop: below the zone — if price closes through and accepts beneath it, the demand failed; stand aside. ▪️ Target: the mid-grid (50%) first, the opposite edge / prior-candle high on extension.
The mirror applies for a strong upper wick → SELL PRESSURE zone up top: fade rallies into it, stop above, target back down through the grid.
◾ 2) Weight it with the session profile
▪️ A pressure zone landing in a HIGH / EXTREME volatility slot means the reaction can be violent — expect follow-through and give the target room. ▪️ The same zone in a CALM slot means muted rotation — take the mid-grid and don't overstay. ▪️ The volatility rank tells you how hard the day's structure usually moves in that window before you commit.
◾ 3) Read the FVG as the pull
▪️ An unfilled Fair Value Gap projected into the current slot is where price is imbalanced — it often gets revisited. A buy-pressure zone below an open bullish FVG is confluence: rejection level plus imbalance both pointing up. ▪️ When a pressure zone and the FVG point opposite ways, that's conflict — let the slot resolve before committing.
◾ 4) Stand down — the map says wait
▪️ Prior candle closed as a clean body with no dominant wick → no pressure zone drew → no edge from rejection this slot. ▪️ Price already accepted through the pressure band → the level's spent. ▪️ CALM slot with no FVG and price mid-range → nothing worth risking on; let it develop.
Rule of thumb: ⭐ Strong prior-candle wick + price rotating into that graded pressure zone + a HIGH-volatility slot or aligned FVG → trade the rejection with the pull. ⭐ No wick, consumed zone, or dead CALM mid-range → stand down until the next candle sets the map.
⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE: Strong Gold H4 Pressure Zones is a structure-mapping tool designed for the M5 timeframe on XAUUSD. Pressure zones are projected from the prior H4 candle's wick geometry, the volatility rank is a 30-day per-slot average, and FVGs are drawn from three-candle gap logic — a model of behaviour, not exchange order-book data. The 0–10 scores are descriptive ranking frameworks for directing attention — NOT backtested signals and NOT standalone trade triggers. Fading into prior-candle pressure still carries real risk of failed levels and stop-outs. Always combine it with your own strategy, price-action analysis and risk management. Past behaviour does not guarantee future results. Indicator
Smart-FVGSmart-FVG — Fair Value Gaps with Wick-Touch Tracking & Inverse FVG
Smart-FVG detects three-candle Fair Value Gaps and then tracks what price *does* with them. Instead of just drawing boxes, it distinguishes between untouched gaps, gaps that have been wick-tested, and gaps that have been fully mitigated — and it highlights the single most recently mitigated gap as a potential Inverse FVG (a gap that may now act as the opposite side's support/resistance).
How it works
Detection . A bullish FVG forms when the current candle's low gaps above the high from two candles back; a bearish FVG forms when the current candle's high gaps below the low from two candles back. Two quality filters keep the chart clean:
Min FVG Gap — the gap must be at least this size to be drawn.
Min Middle-Candle Body — the displacement candle in the middle of the pattern must have a real body of at least this size, filtering out weak, low-conviction gaps.
Both sizes can be entered in ticks (automatically scaled to the symbol's tick size — 0.25 on NQ/ES, 0.10 on GC, etc.) or in raw price points.
Wick-touch tracking . If a wick pierces into the gap but the candle closes back outside it, the FVG is recolored (gray by default). The level was tested and respected — often a sign of a partially filled gap that may still hold, but with less "fresh" liquidity than an untouched one.
Mitigation . When a candle *closes* through the far side of the gap, the FVG is considered fully mitigated and is removed from the chart. Wicks alone never mitigate — only closes.
Inverse FVG . The most recently mitigated gap is redrawn in a distinct color (purple by default) from its original starting point. A bullish FVG that price closed through often flips into resistance, and vice versa — this is the inversion (iFVG) concept. Only the single latest mitigation is shown to avoid clutter, and the highlight extends for a configurable number of bars after mitigation before freezing in place. Each new mitigation replaces the previous inverse.
Every gap also displays a dashed equilibrium line at its 50% level — a common target for partial fills and a refined entry point inside the gap.
Settings
Size Inputs In Ticks — toggle between tick-based and point-based gap/body sizing
Min FVG Gap / Min Middle-Candle Body — quality filters described above
Max Active FVGs Per Side — caps how many bullish and bearish gaps are kept on the chart (oldest are dropped first)
Colors & Line Width — bullish, bearish, wick-touched, and inverse colors are all configurable
Show Inverse FVG / Inverse Display Bars — toggle the iFVG highlight and control how long it extends after mitigation
Notes
Boxes are drawn as outlines with a dashed midline, keeping candles fully visible.
Works on any symbol and time frame; tick-based sizing makes settings portable across futures contracts.
The gap-completion candle itself can mitigate or wick-test the gap it just created, keeping behavior consistent with strict close-based rules.
This indicator is a charting tool, not a trading system. FVGs and inversions describe how price has interacted with prior inefficiencies — always combine with your own analysis and risk management. Indicator
Indicator
ICT Sniper BY DAVIDThe ICT Sniper (Clean Version) is a systematic Pine Script v6 indicator designed for traders using Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Price Action models. Based on mechanical entry models, this tool identifies institutional market manipulations and precise entry zones by combining Liquidity Sweeps with Fair Value Gaps (FVG).
Instead of cluttering the chart with endless technical indicators, this script operates on market structure and liquidity dynamics. It isolates low-risk, high-probability execution points by waiting for institutional smart money to sweep liquidity before confirming an entry via market imbalance.
Core Strategy and Logical Framework
The indicator executes a mechanical three-phase validation sequence:
1. Liquidity Sweep Detection
Market makers frequently run price beyond key swing points to activate retail stop-loss orders and breakout entries. This script continuously monitors market structure using pivot points:
Bullish Sweep: Price breaks below a recent Pivot Low to grab sell-side liquidity, but the bar closes back above that low, confirming a stop run rather than a legitimate breakout.
Bearish Sweep: Price breaks above a recent Pivot High to grab buy-side liquidity, but the bar closes back below that high, confirming a false breakout.
2. Order Block Marking
When a sweep occurs, the script flags the specific candle or range where the liquidity sweep originated as an active Order Block zone, anticipating that institutional orders remain resting within this area.
3. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Refinement and Signal Trigger
A liquidity sweep alone is insufficient for an entry. The strategy requires displacement—rapid price movement leaving behind an imbalance (FVG).
The indicator tracks the bars following a sweep up to a user-defined lookback window (default: 10 bars).
If a three-candle imbalance forms within this lookback window:
Bullish FVG (Low of candle 1 > High of candle 3): Triggers a BUY Entry signal.
Bearish FVG (High of candle 1 < Low of candle 3): Triggers a SELL Entry signal.
Detailed Input Parameters
Market Structure
Pivot Lookback Length (Default: 5): Determines the sensitivity of swing highs and lows. A smaller number identifies short-term internal liquidity, while a larger number focuses on major swing points.
Strategy Rules
Max Bars After Sweep to Find FVG (Default: 10): Specifies the maximum duration allowed between the liquidity sweep and the displacement/FVG formation. If an FVG forms after this limit, the signal is discarded to ensure only fresh displacement is traded.
Clean Visuals
Show Minor Sweep Shapes (Default: Off): Displays minor directional indicators on every sweep candle. Kept disabled by default to maintain chart clarity.
Show Active Order Blocks (Default: On): Draws shaded boxes around active Order Blocks resulting from liquidity sweeps.
Show FVG Highlights (Default: On): Plots distinct colored boxes directly over the Fair Value Gaps that triggered entry signals.
Max Boxes to Keep on Chart (Default: 2): Automatically deletes older historical boxes to prevent memory lag and visual clutter.
Execution and Risk Management Guidelines
1. Signal Confirmation
Wait for the current bar to close when a BUY or SELL signal appears. Do not execute mid-bar, as FVGs require candle completion to be valid.
2. Stop-Loss Placement
BUY Setup: Position the Stop-Loss a few ticks below the Liquidity Sweep Low or beneath the bottom boundary of the FVG box.
SELL Setup: Position the Stop-Loss a few ticks above the Liquidity Sweep High or above the top boundary of the FVG box.
3. Take-Profit Targets
Fixed Risk-to-Reward: Maintain a standard 1:2 Risk-to-Reward ratio (2R) for consistent expectancy.
Structural Targets: Target the opposing Swing High for long positions or Swing Low for short positions.
Best Practices and Context
While this indicator automates pattern recognition, trade performance improves significantly when aligning signals with higher-timeframe context:
Trade in the direction of the higher-timeframe trend.
Focus executions during major market sessions (London and New York sessions).
Recommended Timeframes: 1-minute to 15-minute charts for intraday execution; 1-hour to 4-hour charts for swing trading.
Recommended Assets: Forex major pairs, equity indices (NAS100, US30), commodities (Gold), and major cryptocurrencies. Indicator

EVA Ai+ FVG v1.3 Fair Value Gap FVG - ICT Imbalanc🧬 EVA Ai+ Fair Value Gap — индикатор FVG, дисбаланса и ликвидности
EVA Ai+ Fair Value Gap — это автоматический FVG-индикатор для PulseWire, который находит бычьи и медвежьи зоны Fair Value Gap, показывает ценовой дисбаланс на графике и отслеживает заполнение каждой зоны в реальном времени.
Индикатор предназначен для анализа Price Action, ICT, Smart Money Concepts, ликвидности и рыночного дисбаланса. Он помогает увидеть участки, где цена прошла слишком быстро и оставила незаполненный диапазон между свечами.
🔍 Что такое FVG
Fair Value Gap — FVG представляет собой трёхсвечный ценовой дисбаланс.
🟢 Бычий FVG формируется, когда цена резко движется вверх и между предыдущими свечами остаётся незаполненный диапазон.
🔴 Медвежий FVG формируется при сильном нисходящем движении, когда между свечами остаётся незаполненная область.
Такие зоны обычно рассматриваются как области интереса для анализа возможного возврата цены, реакции, продолжения движения или заполнения дисбаланса. На PulseWire FVG обычно описывается именно как трёхсвечный imbalance, который цена впоследствии может частично или полностью заполнить.
⚙️ Что делает индикатор
✅ Автоматически обнаруживает Bullish FVG и Bearish FVG
✅ Отображает зоны Fair Value Gap непосредственно на графике
✅ Поддерживает текущий или отдельный таймфрейм поиска
✅ Продлевает активные зоны вправо
✅ Динамически уменьшает FVG по мере его заполнения ценой
✅ Не восстанавливает уже заполненную часть после отката
✅ Полностью удаляет зону после полного перекрытия
✅ Поддерживает автоматическую фильтрацию слабых дисбалансов
✅ Позволяет настраивать цвета и количество активных зон
✅ Формирует отдельные алерты для бычьего и медвежьего FVG
✅ Использует lookahead_off без переноса будущих данных в прошлое
📉 Динамическое заполнение FVG
Главная особенность EVA Ai+ FVG — Dynamic Mitigation.
Когда цена начинает входить в Fair Value Gap:
закрашенная область уменьшается вместе с заполнением;
на графике остаётся только незакрытая часть дисбаланса;
уже перекрытая область не появляется снова после отката;
после полного заполнения FVG автоматически удаляется.
Это позволяет видеть не просто исторические прямоугольники, а актуальный остаток ценового дисбаланса.
📈 Как применять бычий FVG
Бычья зона отмечается зелёным цветом.
Возможный сценарий анализа:
Определите восходящий тренд или бычью структуру рынка.
Найдите свежий Bullish Fair Value Gap.
Дождитесь возврата цены к зоне.
Следите за реакцией цены внутри незаполненной части FVG.
Используйте дополнительное подтверждение: структуру рынка, объём, уровень поддержки, свечную реакцию или импульс.
Рассматривайте противоположную границу зоны как точку отмены сценария только в рамках собственной торговой системы.
📉 Как применять медвежий FVG
Медвежья зона отмечается красным цветом.
Возможный сценарий анализа:
Определите нисходящий тренд или медвежью структуру рынка.
Найдите свежий Bearish Fair Value Gap.
Дождитесь возврата цены к зоне дисбаланса.
Оцените реакцию продавцов внутри оставшейся части FVG.
Подтвердите сценарий структурой рынка, сопротивлением, объёмом или свечной моделью.
Не используйте сам факт касания FVG как обязательную команду для входа.
🕒 Мультитаймфрейм-анализ
В настройках можно выбрать отдельный таймфрейм поиска.
Примеры применения:
FVG с 1H на графике 15m;
FVG с 4H для поиска зон на младшем таймфрейме;
FVG текущего таймфрейма для скальпинга и внутридневного анализа;
старший FVG как контекст, младший таймфрейм — для уточнения реакции.
Если поле таймфрейма оставить пустым, индикатор использует текущий таймфрейм графика.
🎯 Практические варианты использования
EVA Ai+ FVG можно применять для:
поиска зон возврата цены;
определения ценового дисбаланса;
анализа ликвидности;
поиска потенциальных зон поддержки и сопротивления;
анализа продолжения тренда;
поиска реакции после импульсного движения;
ICT и Smart Money Concepts;
Price Action;
внутридневной торговли;
скальпинга;
свинг-трейдинга;
анализа криптовалют, акций, форекса, индексов и фьючерсов.
🔔 Алерты
Доступны два типа уведомлений:
🟢 обнаружен новый Bullish Fair Value Gap;
🔴 обнаружен новый Bearish Fair Value Gap.
Алерты создаются через стандартное меню уведомлений PulseWire.
⚠️ Важно
Fair Value Gap не является самостоятельной гарантией разворота или продолжения движения. FVG следует использовать вместе с направлением тренда, рыночной структурой, ликвидностью, объёмом и управлением риском.

🧬 EVA Ai+ Fair Value Gap — FVG, Imbalance and Liquidity Indicator
EVA Ai+ Fair Value Gap is an automatic FVG indicator for PulseWire that detects bullish and bearish Fair Value Gaps, displays price imbalance zones directly on the chart, and tracks the mitigation of every active gap.
The indicator is designed for Price Action, ICT, Smart Money Concepts, liquidity analysis, market imbalance, and order-flow context. It highlights areas where price moved rapidly and left an inefficient or unfilled range between candles.
🔍 What is a Fair Value Gap?
A Fair Value Gap — FVG is a three-candle price imbalance.
🟢 A Bullish FVG appears after strong upward displacement leaves an unfilled range below the current price.
🔴 A Bearish FVG appears after strong downward displacement leaves an unfilled range above the current price.
These zones can be used as areas of interest for analyzing a potential price return, reaction, continuation, or full mitigation. PulseWire’s FVG search pages and widely followed scripts use the same core vocabulary: Fair Value Gap, imbalance, liquidity, mitigation, and three-candle structure.
⚙️ Main features
✅ Automatic Bullish FVG detection
✅ Automatic Bearish FVG detection
✅ Clear Fair Value Gap zones on the chart
✅ Current-timeframe and multi-timeframe analysis
✅ Active FVG zones extended to the right
✅ Dynamic partial mitigation
✅ Filled portions never reappear after a pullback
✅ Automatic removal after complete mitigation
✅ Optional automatic imbalance threshold
✅ Custom bullish and bearish colors
✅ Adjustable maximum number of active gaps
✅ Bullish and bearish PulseWire alerts
✅ lookahead_off calculation
📉 Dynamic FVG mitigation
The key feature of EVA Ai+ FVG is Dynamic Mitigation.
As price moves into a Fair Value Gap:
the highlighted zone contracts with the fill;
only the remaining unmitigated imbalance stays visible;
previously consumed portions do not expand again;
the complete FVG is removed after a full fill.
This provides a cleaner representation of the imbalance that is still active instead of leaving obsolete rectangles across the chart.
📈 How to use a Bullish FVG
Bullish zones are displayed in green.
A possible analysis workflow:
Identify a bullish trend or bullish market structure.
Locate a fresh Bullish Fair Value Gap.
Wait for price to return toward the imbalance.
Observe the reaction inside the remaining FVG.
Confirm the setup with market structure, volume, support, momentum, or candle reaction.
Define invalidation and risk according to your own trading plan.
📉 How to use a Bearish FVG
Bearish zones are displayed in red.
A possible analysis workflow:
Identify a bearish trend or bearish market structure.
Locate a fresh Bearish Fair Value Gap.
Wait for price to retrace into the imbalance.
Evaluate seller reaction inside the remaining FVG.
Use resistance, market structure, volume, or price-action confirmation.
Do not treat every FVG touch as an automatic entry signal.
🕒 Multi-timeframe FVG analysis
The indicator can detect Fair Value Gaps from a selected timeframe.
Examples:
display 1H FVG zones on a 15m chart;
use 4H imbalance zones as higher-timeframe context;
use chart-timeframe FVGs for intraday trading and scalping;
combine higher-timeframe liquidity zones with lower-timeframe confirmation.
Leave the timeframe field empty to use the current chart timeframe.
🎯 Common use cases
EVA Ai+ FVG can be used for:
Fair Value Gap trading;
liquidity-zone analysis;
market imbalance detection;
ICT trading concepts;
Smart Money Concepts;
Price Action;
support and resistance context;
trend-continuation analysis;
pullback and retracement analysis;
crypto trading;
forex trading;
stock trading;
futures and index analysis;
scalping, day trading, and swing trading.
🔔 PulseWire alerts
Two alert conditions are included:
🟢 New Bullish Fair Value Gap detected;
🔴 New Bearish Fair Value Gap detected.
Alerts can be configured through the standard PulseWire alert menu.
⚠️ Disclaimer
A Fair Value Gap does not guarantee a reversal, continuation, or profitable trade. FVG zones should be evaluated together with trend direction, market structure, liquidity, volume, confirmation, and risk management.

ict irl/erl & csd model - By Mr_BasitThis institutional trading indicator is designed for SMC (Smart Money Concepts) and ICT traders who focus on Internal Range Liquidity (IRL / FVG), External Range Liquidity (ERL / Swing Levels), and Change in State of Delivery (CSD).
To eliminate chart clutter and weak signals, this script uses a strict backtesting and confluence engine. It filters out fakeouts and ONLY displays verified winning setups that have successfully achieved a 1:2 Risk-to-Reward (2R) ratio.
Key Features & Smart Filtering Logic
1. High-Probability Filter (Top 20% Setups):
Filters out low-quality noise and only focuses on institutional A+ setups where Liquidity Sweep + FVG Confluence align with CSD execution.
2. Automatic Win Validation (Historical Performance):
Tracks every potential CSD signal over real-time and historical price action.
Draws ONLY winning trades that successfully reached the target (1:2 R:R).
Failed signals or stop-out levels are automatically hidden to keep the chart clean and focused on high-probability zones.
3. Auto-Deleting Swept Lines & Zones (Zero Clutter):
ERL (Swing Highs/Lows) lines auto-delete the moment price taps or sweeps them.
Active FVGs (IRL) auto-remove upon mitigation/fill.
4. Clean Visual Aesthetics:
No Bulky Text Boxes: Clear, minimalistic Green (\mathbf{\Delta}) and Red (\mathbf{ abla}) arrows placed right next to candles.
Thin Dashed Structure Lines: Thin (1\text{x}) dashed horizontal lines for invalidation/stop-loss zones.
Transparent FVG Boxes: Unintrusive background shading for active fair value gaps.

FVG Displacement & Fill Scoring [SlatinaTrades]📦 FVG Displacement & Fill Scoring — not every gap earns a box.
Most FVG tools draw every three-candle gap and call it a day. Chart full of boxes, no way to tell which one was actually worth anything. This one scores the displacement that created each gap, tracks its fill lifecycle bar by bar, then bins every completed zone into quartiles and reports whether the score actually separated the good gaps from the noise — on your symbol, your timeframe.
Bidirectional. Context only — no entries, no stops, no targets, no risk anywhere in the file.
THE MECHANICS
📐 Displacement score (0–100) — a weighted composite of gap size (in ATR), displacement-candle range (in ATR), and body/range ratio. Every weight and every normalization point ("gap ATR = full score at X") is a user input.
🔍 Measure-only probes — structure-break (did the displacement candle take out the most recent confirmed pivot?) and volume ratio (displacement volume vs. average) are computed, exported to alerts, and binned in the harness — kept out of the composite until they earn a place.
🚦 Regime, as a flag, not a gate — an HTF SMA direction read. It never blocks a zone from forming or scoring. It only tags the sample so the harness can slice regime-aligned vs. counter-regime.
🔁 Fill lifecycle — every zone moves FRESH → TAGGED → HALF → FULL, with an INVALIDATED branch. Box opacity fades with state so a glance tells you what's live and what's already resolved.
📊 Separation harness — completed zones get binned into quartiles by displacement score, and the table reports mean favorable excursion (ATR-at-tag units) per quartile against a baseline — with a minimum-sample trust flag so a 6-sample bin doesn't get read as gospel. Four slice filters (All / Regime-aligned / Counter-regime / Struct-broke / No-struct) let you test whether the score actually separates outcomes under a given condition.
🎨 Visuals — inline labels capped to the top-scoring live zones (anti-overlap nudge or cascade, optional leader lines), a 50% midline at the half-fill threshold, a callout arrow on the displacement candle, and a dashboard panel. Resolved zones stop drawing the moment they fill or invalidate — the harness still counts them, they just get out of the way.
🚫 Non-repainting — one request.security call, lookahead off. Detection, fill-state transitions, and alerts are all gated by barstate.isconfirmed. One honest exception: the regime read looks at the developing HTF bar in realtime, since it's a flag-only context tag, never a signal — worth knowing if you're auditing for repaint.

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
Strong V DOL FVG Signals | ProjectSyndicateStrong V DOL FVG Signals catches the moment a stop-hunt gets rejected so violently that price snaps back through the level it just raided — the V-shape — and it only takes that reversal when the snap-back leaves an institutional footprint behind and has somewhere real to go. Markets raid the obvious swing lows and highs to fill size against trapped traders. Most of those raids simply continue. The ones that matter reverse immediately: price stabs beyond the pool, refuses to accept the new low or high, and displaces back through the level in a handful of bars, carving a sharp V pivot instead of a slow rounded base.
That refusal is the event. The engine then demands a second thing most reversal tools never check — an imbalance created or flipped by that displacement, a Fair Value Gap or an Inversion FVG that gives the entry a structural edge — and a third thing almost none of them check: an explicit destination, the higher-timeframe Draw on Liquidity the move is actually running at. Sweep, refusal, imbalance, magnet. Every setup that clears all four gets a structural invalidation behind the V extreme, a DOL-anchored target ladder, a 0–10 V-Score with a star rank, and is tracked live on a two-card statistics dashboard — including honest stop-outs — so you can see exactly how the logic behaves on the symbol and timeframe you trade.
🧠 V-Shape Core
The core idea, expressed as a lifecycle: POOL ▸ RAID ▸ V-SHAPE ▸ INVERSION ▸ ENTRY ▸ DOL. A confirmed swing high or low defines where stops are resting — internal range liquidity. A raid happens when price trades beyond that pool by a minimum ATR depth, running the stops. The V-shape is the refusal: price must close back through the raided pool inside a reclaim window, and the recovery leg must survive three geometry gates before it counts. Swept lows flip to a LONG, swept highs to a SHORT. Pivots come from confirmed swings and every condition is evaluated on the bar's close, so the structure and the signal do not repaint once they confirm.
📐 The Three Geometry Gates — what separates a V from a bounce
This is the part that does the heavy lifting, because "price swept a low and came back" describes half of all price action. A qualifying V must satisfy all three simultaneously: Displacement — the distance from the V extreme to the reclaim close, measured in ATR, so the recovery has to be aggressive, not incidental. V Width — the bars between the extreme and the reclaim, capped, so a slow multi-bar grind is rejected no matter how far it travels. V Sharpness — displacement divided by width, the ATR-per-bar velocity of the snap-back, which is the single dial that most directly controls how violent a reversal has to be before the engine calls it a V. A wide, rounded recovery fails all three. A knife-edge rejection passes all three. Tighten sharpness for fewer, more explosive setups; loosen it for more activity.
🔀 FVG / IFVG Confirmation — the imbalance the displacement leaves behind
A qualified V is not yet a trade. The engine then looks for the institutional footprint of that displacement and uses it as the entry zone. An IFVG (Inversion FVG) is the premium case: an opposing three-candle Fair Value Gap that the displacement closed straight through, flipping its role from resistance to support (or support to resistance). That flip is proof the recovery had enough force to invalidate the prior imbalance, and a freshness window keeps only recently inverted gaps eligible. A fresh FVG is the fallback: a new three-candle gap left by the displacement leg itself. You choose the policy — IFVG → FVG (auto), IFVG only, or FVG only — and a minimum gap size in ATR filters out noise. If you want the pure geometry play, Require A Zone To Trade can be switched off so a qualified V fires on displacement alone, and the panel will tell you it was a RAW V entry.
🎯 Entry — retest limit or immediate
Two execution models. Retest Zone (limit) arms the imbalance and waits for price to trade back into it, filling at the zone edge — the patient version, which is why an arm window exists to discard setups that never come back, and why an armed setup is killed outright if price closes back beyond the V extreme before the retest. Immediate On Displacement fills at the confirmation close and accepts worse average location in exchange for never missing the ones that run without a pullback. Both are honest about what they are: the armed state, the zone range, and the expiry are all visible on the panel while you wait.
🧲 Draw on Liquidity — the target engine
Most reversal tools stop at a flat R multiple. This one asks where the move is actually going. The DOL engine maintains a live pool of higher-timeframe liquidity — swing highs and lows from a timeframe you choose, previous day high and low, optional previous week high and low, optional chart-timeframe swings — and tracks which of them have already been traded through. Only unswept levels can be targets, because liquidity that has already been taken is no longer a magnet. When a signal fires, the engine selects the nearest qualifying draw beyond the entry that sits inside a configurable R window, so it never targets something two ticks away or something unreachable this session, and that level becomes TP3. If nothing qualifies, it falls back cleanly to a flat R target and says so. Two live DOL rails are drawn at all times — the nearest unswept draw above and below current price — so you always know what the market is fishing for even when no setup is active.
🔋 V-Score Anatomy
A V-shape is not just true or false; it is scored for how clean the reversal is. The V-Score fuses six reversal-native ingredients into a single 0–10 read: sweep depth (how far past the pool the raid reached), displacement (how hard the recovery pushed), V sharpness (the velocity of the snap-back), rejection wick (how decisively the extreme bar was rejected), volume surge (participation on the reversal versus its baseline), and room to DOL (how much R the target actually offers — a setup with nowhere to go is scored down no matter how pretty the candle). Each ingredient carries its own adjustable weight. A higher-timeframe bias read then either adjusts the score or hard-filters the signal, your choice. You shape what qualifies through those weights and the geometry thresholds rather than chasing a single number.
🎯 Structural Invalidation + Universal Zones
The stop is anchored to the V, not guessed. Invalidation sits just beyond the V-shape extreme — the price that, if reclaimed, means the raid was real and the reversal failed — plus an ATR buffer for cushion. Universal Zone Height then clamps that distance between an ATR floor and an ATR ceiling, so one wide V can't draw a stop five times the height of the next and the R unit stays comparable across every signal on the chart. TP1 and TP2 are clean R multiples; TP3 is the DOL itself, reported with its true R multiple rather than a rounded one. Every signal plots its full Entry / SL / TP1 / TP2 / TP3 set, labeled level prices, a filled risk zone and reward zone, the raided liquidity level tagged IRL, a V-SHAPE tag on the extreme, the entry line doubling as the break-even rail, and an optional 0 / 0.5 equilibrium split — and every zone is drawn at the same fixed width, so a three-bar stop-out and a two-hundred-bar runner leave an identical, uniform footprint on the chart.
⭐ 0–10 Strength with Star Tiers
Every signal is labeled with its numeric V-Score, a star rank, and a tier ladder running WEAK → VALID → STRONG → ELITE, so the raw quality of a setup reads at a glance without checking the number. Treat the score as a cleanliness and confluence read for ranking and thinning setups — it describes how textbook a V-shape-into-imbalance is, not a guaranteed outcome. The Min V-Score gate restricts what fires, the Strong Tier threshold sets where the star ladder breaks, and the dashboard keeps tracking every closed trade in the background so you can see, on your own data, whether stricter settings actually convert better.
🎚️ Conviction Controls
A compact set of dials sets how serious a raid must be before it counts: the liquidity swing length that decides which pools qualify, the min sweep depth that defines a real stop run, the reclaim window that separates a sweep from genuine acceptance, the three geometry gates (displacement, V width, sharpness), the zone policy and min gap size, the IFVG freshness window, the arm window for retests, the min V-Score, the HTF bias mode, and the risk floor and cap. Tighten them for rare, violent, textbook reversals; loosen them for more activity. This is your main control over conviction versus frequency.
🧭 Single-Ticket Discipline & Honest Accounting
Only one ticket is active at a time, so one chaotic session can't stack overlapping trades — a signal that fires while a trade is running is still labeled and still shown in the scenario panel, marked plainly as SIGNAL ONLY, but it is not double-counted in the statistics. Resolution is SL-first pessimistic: when a bar touches both a target and the stop, the stop wins, because intrabar sequence is unknowable. Partial targets are booked honestly — a trade that reaches TP1 or TP2 and is later stopped books the highest target it actually reached rather than being rounded up to a full win or buried. Armed setups that never get their retest expire instead of lingering. The max-drawn-trades cap is visual only — it thins old drawings off the chart while the statistics stay cumulative over the entire history.
📊 Two-Card Live Dashboard
A non-intrusive panel, built as two visually separate cards divided by a transparent spacer so the chart shows through the gap.
Card 1 · MODEL tracks the engine in real time: current status (waiting → sweeping → armed → in trade), the higher-timeframe bias, the live V-Score as a gauge with its tier, the armed entry zone and its price range, the nearest unswept DOL above and below with ATR distance, the last signal and its stars, win rate with the raw closed-trade count, profit factor, average R per trade, long versus short win rate, current and max streaks, and a TP1 / TP2 / TP3 / SL outcome breakdown.
Card 2 · SCENARIO is the full anatomy of the newest signal, always on and always visible: the setup with its score and tier, the confirmation type (IFVG, FVG, or RAW V) with the exact zone range, the raided IRL level with its sweep depth in ATR, the V geometry expressed as displacement, bar count and velocity, the entry price, the invalidation with its ATR width, TP1 and TP2, the DOL target with its R multiple, whether the HTF bias agreed, and the outcome — running live open R while the trade is on, then locking to the terminal result.
Every filled trade that reaches an outcome is counted — winners and stop-outs alike — so the numbers are computed live from the real signals on your current symbol and timeframe, not a figure printed in a description.

🎯 Why this is different
Most sweep tools fire on the raid and hope. Most FVG tools draw every gap on the chart and leave you to guess which one matters. This one requires all three layers to line up in sequence: liquidity must actually be raided, the recovery must be violent enough to qualify as a V on three independent geometry measures, and the displacement must leave or flip an imbalance that becomes the entry — then it anchors invalidation behind the V extreme, targets a real unswept higher-timeframe draw instead of an arbitrary R multiple, ranks the whole thing on an objective 0–10 scale, and layers a live, honest statistics panel that counts stop-outs in full. You tune and judge it on real, current data from your own chart instead of a marketing number.
🚀 Where to use it
The mechanics are symbol-agnostic and rest on universal behavior: every liquid market raids its obvious highs and lows, and some of those raids fail immediately. It suits index futures, gold and metals, FX majors and crosses, and crypto on intraday timeframes, where session raids and stop-runs are a constant feature and the higher-timeframe draw is well defined. Because it fades exhaustion, it shines around session extremes and range edges and demands more care in violent one-way trends, where a raid can keep extending rather than reject. Lower timeframes produce more V-shapes but noisier ones — raise the sharpness and min-score gates as you go down. Let the dashboard tell you whether the logic suits the pair and timeframe before you commit.
🎯 How to trade it
Apply it to a liquid symbol on an intraday timeframe and let the dashboard populate. Read the live win rate, profit factor and average R for your symbol and timeframe first — if the logic doesn't suit that market, you'll see it there before you risk anything.
Watch the DOL rails to frame the session — they show the unswept liquidity above and below, which is where price is being pulled.
Wait for a labeled V-SHAPE LONG / SHORT signal. It marks a confirmed close where a pool was raided, the recovery cleared all three geometry gates, and an imbalance confirmed the entry — with score, tier, and the full Entry / SL / TP1 / TP2 / TP3 already plotted.
Read the Scenario card for the fast conviction check: an IFVG confirmation, a deep sweep, high velocity and plenty of R to the DOL is the textbook version. RAW V with thin room to target is the marginal one.
Manage with the plotted levels — the structural stop behind the V defines your risk, TP1 and TP2 are your R scale-outs, and TP3 is the draw the move is actually hunting. Bank or trail however suits your style.
Use the sharpness gate, min V-Score, zone policy and HTF bias filter to set your tempo — stricter for rare, textbook reversals; looser for more activity.
⚠️ Important
This is a decision-support tool, not a standalone buy/sell system, and it makes no performance guarantees. The default settings are sensible starting points, not the output of a historical optimization study — they have not been curve-fit to any one symbol, and you should expect to adjust the geometry gates and score threshold for your market before the signal quality is where you want it. Behavior will vary by symbol, timeframe, session and configuration; the dashboard's statistics are historical and descriptive, not a forecast.
The trade model resolves stop-first and books partial-target exits honestly, so some trades close for a fraction of a target rather than a full win — these are counted in full, which is honest but means win rate alone is misleading; always weigh it together with average R and profit factor. Because TP3 tracks a real liquidity draw rather than a fixed multiple, R per trade varies by design — a 2R target and an 8R target are both legitimate outcomes of the same logic, and the average R figure is the number that reconciles them.
Signals confirm on the closed bar, and the pivot-based liquidity pools confirm a few bars after a swing forms — so the armed state appears slightly after the raw extreme prints, which is inherent to pivot confirmation and is exactly why the retest entry mode exists. Always wait for the labeled signal on a closed candle. Because the system fades a move, a real breakout or a raid that keeps extending can run straight through a stop — combine it with your own analysis and risk management, and test it on your market before trading it live. Indicator
FVG CrossfireGENERAL OVERVIEW:
FVG Crossfire identifies and plots the exact price bands where a bullish and a bearish imbalance have overlapped. These overlap bands, called crossfire zones, are the only objects the indicator draws. Ordinary Fair Value Gaps are tracked in the background as inputs, but a standalone gap is never rendered on the chart; a zone is created only when a fresh FVG overlaps an older, still-unfilled FVG of the opposite direction. From that point the zone remains on the chart, reversing direction each time an opposing FVG overlaps it, recording each transition with a star counter, marking every retest with an arrow, and being removed only when price trades fully through it.
What is the theory behind the indicator?
A Fair Value Gap records a price imbalance: price moved quickly enough that a gap was left between the wicks of the surrounding candles. The problem is that FVGs are common. On a fast chart dozens print every session, most of them noise, and drawing them all obscures the few levels that actually matter.
FVG Crossfire is built on a stricter criterion: the event worth displaying is the overlap. When a new imbalance prints in the opposite direction directly on top of an older, still-unfilled one, that price band is no longer one-sided; buyers have left an imbalance there, and now sellers have as well (or the reverse). That overlap marks a contested level, one the market has already reacted to from both directions.
The sequence often continues. Each additional opposing FVG flips the zone again, and because a flip keeps only the portion of the zone where the imbalances actually overlap, the contested band becomes tighter and more precise with each transition. What remains is a narrow, repeatedly tested level with a visible history, which is among the strongest forms of support or resistance an imbalance structure can produce.
The FVG Crossfire indicator includes 5 main features:

CROSSFIRE ZONE DETECTION:
🔹What Is a Crossfire Zone?
A crossfire zone is the price band shared by two opposite imbalances: an older, still-unfilled Fair Value Gap and a newly formed FVG in the opposite direction that printed on top of it. The zone covers only the overlap, and it takes the direction and color of the newer FVG, the most recent side to print. An optional "origin funnel" draws converging lines from the older gap into the zone, so the source of the overlap remains visible.
🔹What Is a Fair Value Gap?
For background: an FVG is a three-candle pattern where the middle candle moves so strongly that a gap is left between the first candle and the third: the low of candle three above the high of candle one (bullish), or the high of candle three below the low of candle one (bearish). In this indicator FVGs are inputs, not output: they are detected and tracked entirely in the background, and one that never overlaps an opposite gap is discarded without ever being drawn.
🔹Why Are Crossfire Zones Important?
A single gap indicates one-sided aggression at a price. A crossfire zone indicates that both sides were aggressive at the same prices and disagreed. These contested bands tend to attract price repeatedly, which makes them stronger candidates for support, resistance, and reaction trades than any single gap. And because only overlaps are drawn, every object on the chart is already a filtered, higher-significance level.
🔹How Crossfire Zones Are Detected:
Every candle close, the engine scans the last three candles for a new FVG (gaps smaller than your minimum size are skipped, and candles around daily or weekly session breaks are excluded so overnight gaps don't create false patterns). Each stored gap is also tracked as later candles fill it (by wick or by close, depending on the setting), and a fully filled gap is dropped from the pool. When a fresh FVG confirms, it is compared against every waiting opposite gap: wherever it overlaps the unfilled part of one, a crossfire zone is created on the overlap and the origin funnel appears. Every FVG participates exactly once; after creating (or flipping) a zone it is consumed, so one price move never produces duplicate zones. Live zones extend to the right edge of the chart, and an optional "Combine" mode merges same-direction zones that overlap in price into one bigger zone.
🔹Settings: Base FVG Group (the detection engine)
Base FVG mitigation: whether wicks or only candle closes fill a waiting gap before it can participate in an overlap.
Min FVG gap (% of price): ignore gaps below this size; 0 keeps every gap.
Show origin funnel: draw the converging lines from the source gap into its zone.
Border, Style, Colors: visual control of the funnel; color transparency sets the fill strength.
🔹Settings: Crossfire Zone Group
Lookback (candles): zones are only built inside the most recent N candles (default 3000); every zone created in the window is shown.
Border, Style, Midline: outline and optional equilibrium line for each zone.
Bullish / Bearish colors: transparency sets the zone fill strength.
Combine overlapping zones: merge same-color zones that overlap in price.
ZONE FLIPPING & FLIP COUNTER:
🔹What Is a Zone Flip?
If a live crossfire zone is overlapped by another FVG in the opposite direction, the zone flips: the current box is frozen in place and a new, opposite-colored box continues from that point. Read left to right, a flipped zone forms a timeline of directional control over that price band.
🔹Why Do Flips Matter?
Every flip is another change of direction at the same level, evidence that the market continues to react to that price. And because each flip keeps only the part of the zone that the new FVG actually overlapped, the contested band tightens with every flip. A zone that has flipped three times is a narrow, precise, repeatedly contested level, exactly the kind of area worth planning trades around.
🔹How the Flip Counter Works:
Each live zone shows a star counter on its edge at the latest candle: green stars touching the bottom edge of bullish zones, red stars touching the top edge of bearish zones. One star means the zone has formed once, two stars means one flip, and so on; zones with five or more entries display a compact count instead (for example "6 ★"). There is no limit on flips; the chain only ends when the zone is fully mitigated.
RETEST DETECTION:
🔹What Is a Retest?
A retest is price leaving a live crossfire zone and then coming back to touch it again. The indicator marks every single retest: a small green ▲ below the candle that re-entered a bullish zone, a small red ▼ above the candle that re-entered a bearish zone.
🔹Why Are Retests Important?
The retest is usually the tradeable moment. A contested zone holding on a return visit is the confirmation many traders wait for before entering, and repeated successful retests indicate the level continues to hold.
🔹How Retests Are Detected:
On every candle close, the indicator checks whether the candle touched the zone (any wick contact counts) while the previous candle did not. Each fresh re-entry counts; price must leave the zone before the next retest can register, so a candle sitting inside the zone for several bars only counts once. Every retest can also fire an alert.
🔹Settings:
Retest markers: show or hide the ▲/▼ arrows.
ZONE MITIGATION:
🔹What Is Zone Mitigation?
A crossfire zone is complete (fully mitigated) when price trades all the way through it: through the bottom of a bullish zone, or through the top of a bearish zone. At that point the zone and its whole flip history are removed from the chart, or kept and faded out if you prefer to study them.
🔹Why Does Mitigation Matter?
A zone that price has completely passed through has served its purpose: the imbalance on both sides is resolved. Removing finished zones keeps the chart focused on levels that still matter, while the optional faded view lets you review how past zones resolved.
🔹How Mitigation Is Detected:
You choose what counts as trading through the far side: any wick, or only a candle close. Until that happens, the zone stays live no matter how many times it flips or gets retested.
🔹Settings:
Zone mitigation: Wick or Close.
Show mitigated zones: keep finished chains on the chart, frozen and dimmed.
ALERTS:
FVG Crossfire covers the full life of a zone with four alert events, each with its own on/off switch. Create one alert on the indicator using "Any alert() function call" and every enabled event will come through with the symbol and timeframe in the message:
New crossfire zone: two opposite FVGs overlapped and a new zone was created.
Zone flipped: a live zone changed direction (bullish ↔ bearish).
Zone retested: price re-entered a live zone after being outside it (fires on every re-entry).
Zone mitigated: a zone was fully traded through and completed.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Plain FVGs are never drawn. Gaps are tracked in the background, and a gap only becomes visible, through its origin funnel, at the moment it produces a crossfire zone. Every object drawn on the chart is already an overlap.
All detections are evaluated on candle close. Zones, flips, retests, and mitigations are confirmed events; they do not repaint.
Background gaps are filled on a three-candle delay. This is deliberate: the same impulsive move that creates the new FVG is often the move that fills the old one, and without the delay the overlap could never be detected.
Each FVG participates exactly once. After creating or flipping a zone it is consumed, so one price move never produces duplicate zones.
A flip requires the new FVG to overlap the currently visible zone, and the flipped zone keeps only the overlapping part; zones tighten as they flip.
A retest requires price to leave the zone first. Consecutive candles inside the zone count as one visit.
Candles around daily and weekly session breaks are excluded from gap detection so overnight gaps don't create false patterns.
Internal drawing limits keep the script within PulseWire's object budget; on extremely gap-dense charts the oldest zones are released first.
UNIQUENESS:
Most FVG tools draw every gap and leave the trader to determine which ones matter; inversion (IFVG) tools go one step further and record a single change of direction. FVG Crossfire does not draw ordinary gaps at all. It uses them purely as inputs and puts only one thing on the chart: the price bands where opposite imbalances have overlapped, and it then tracks the full lifecycle of each contested level. Zones flip an unlimited number of times, each previous state freezes into a left-to-right timeline, the band tightens to the true overlap on every flip, a star counter records the number of transitions, every individual re-entry is flagged with a retest arrow and alert, and the level is only removed when price fully trades through it. The result is not another gap plotter: it is a filtered map of where opposing imbalances keep forming at the same prices, how many transitions each level has recorded, and exactly how tight the contested band has become.

- Infinite Extension: Boxes extend infinitely to the right edge of the chart, with labels fixed to the right for real-time price context.
Volume Threshold (Highlight / Filter) : Separate significant FVGs from minor ones using volume.
- Supports SMA, EMA, or Z-Score for volume averaging.
- Highlight Mode: Adds a yellow border and a ★ star to FVGs that exceed the volume threshold.
- Filter Mode: Hides FVGs that do NOT meet the volume threshold, keeping your chart clean and focused.
Fully Customizable Styling : Set independent background colors, border colors, and border widths for Bullish FVG, Bearish FVG, Bullish iFVG, and Bearish iFVG. Adjust label text color, size, and offset freely.
📊 Interpretation Guide
Bullish FVG (Green): Gap created after a strong upward move Acts as a key support zone during pullbacks.
Bearish FVG (Red): Gap created after a strong downward move Acts as a key resistance zone during bounces.
Bullish iFVG (Teal): Price breaks above a Bearish FVG's top Indicates prior resistance has flipped into support .
Bearish iFVG (Purple): Price breaks below a Bullish FVG's bottom Indicates prior support has flipped into resistance .
Volume exceeds the defined threshold: Highlights that this FVG is backed by strong volume, making it more significant .
⚙️ Important Input Settings Explained
Bullish / Bearish FVG Display : Toggle to show or hide specific directional FVGs.
Maximum FVG Boxes : Limits the total number of boxes displayed (1–100) for optimal performance.
HTF 1 / 2 / 3 : Enter higher timeframe values (e.g., 60 for 60 minutes, 240 for 240 minutes, D for Daily, W for Weekly). Leave blank to disable.
Threshold Mode :
- None: Displays all FVGs regardless of volume.
- Highlight: Visually emphasizes FVGs that pass the volume test.
- Filter: Only displays FVGs that pass the volume test.
- Threshold Type: (SMA / EMA/ Z-score) Simply need to select a indicator for measuring the threshold.
- Recommand Setting : If you select SMA or EMA >> length: 3~20 & Multiply 1.5
If you select Z-score(sma based) >> length: 3~20 & Multiply 1
Apply Threshold to iFVG : When enabled, the volume threshold is re-evaluated when a standard FVG converts to iFVG.
⚠️ Important Notes
To prevent repainting and false signals, higher timeframe (HTF) data is fetched with lookahead turned OFF . This ensures the indicator relies only on closed HTF candles.
The script is configured with a maximum of 500 boxes and 500 labels to handle heavy multi-timeframe rendering without performance lag.
This indicator is based on historical price data. It should be used in confluence with price action, market structure, or other confirmation tools—not as a standalone buy/sell signal.

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
1H OB + Strong Levels + 9/15 EMA + Daily High/Low BY MR_BASIT The 1H SMC: Unmitigated OB + FVG + Daily Liquidity + 9/15 EMA indicator is a comprehensive, institutional-grade technical analysis toolkit designed for Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Price Action traders.
Unlike standard indicators that create chaotic, cluttered charts with obsolete lines and filled boxes, this indicator utilizes a dynamic auto-cleanup engine. It continuously deletes mitigated zones and historical structure points, ensuring that only high-probability, active (unmitigated) levels are displayed on your chart in real-time.
Core Features & Technical Logic
Unmitigated Order Blocks with FVG Confluence
Higher Timeframe Context: Order Blocks are calculated using 1-Hour (1H) candle data for strong institutional context, even when applied to lower execution timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m).
Strict Imbalance Filter: An Order Block box is only created if accompanied by a Fair Value Gap (FVG). This drastically reduces false setups and highlights genuine institutional footprint zones.
Auto-Mitigation Deletion: As soon as price enters and mitigates an active Order Block, the box is automatically deleted via Pine Script array management, leaving your chart completely clear.
Single Active Strong High / Strong Low Tracking
Institutional Structural Points:
A Strong Low is validated when price creates a Bullish Break of Structure (BOS).
A Strong High is validated when price creates a Bearish Break of Structure (BOS).
Infinite Rightward Extension: Strong levels are plotted as clean 1x solid lines extending infinitely to the right, giving you a crisp, dynamic target or stop level in live market conditions.
Single Instance Logic: Only the current, active Strong level is drawn—older levels are automatically cleared.
Break of Structure (BOS) Identification
Precise Breakout Lines: Automatically identifies when price crosses above a swing high or below a swing low using 1x thin dashed lines.
Visual Clarity: Includes centered text labels (BOS) in Blue (Bullish) or Red (Bearish) with optimal font formatting for fast recognition.
Previous Day High & Low Liquidity (PDH / PDL)
Institutional Liquidity Pools: Automatically plots Previous Day High (BSL - Buy-Side Liquidity) and Previous Day Low (SSL - Sell-Side Liquidity).
1x Thin Dotted Styling: Projected to the right edge of the chart to identify key liquidity sweep targets for daily sessions.
Dynamic Dual EMAs (9 & 15 EMA)
Short-Term Trend & Momentum: Features built-in 9 EMA (Blue) and 15 EMA (Orange) plotted as 1x thin lines.
Entry Confluence: Helps traders quickly identify momentum alignment and dynamic support/resistance alongside SMC zones.
How to Trade with This Indicator
Bullish Setup (Buy Entry)
Confirm overall trend is bullish using the 9 EMA above 15 EMA.
Wait for price to sweep Daily Low (SSL) or create a Bullish BOS.
Identify the Unmitigated Bullish Order Block (Purple Zone) formed above the Strong Low.
Enter on a retest/tap into the Bullish Order Block zone, placing Stop Loss just below the Strong Low.
Bearish Setup (Sell Entry)
Confirm overall trend is bearish using the 9 EMA below 15 EMA.
Wait for price to sweep Daily High (BSL) or create a Bearish BOS.
Identify the Unmitigated Bearish Order Block (Orange Zone) formed below the Strong High.
Enter on a retest/tap into the Bearish Order Block zone, placing Stop Loss just above the Strong High.

FVG Confluence [AFD]This Pine Script v6 overlay documents confirmed fair-value gaps (FVGs), optional order blocks (OBs), and overlap evidence from two selected higher timeframes. Its main output is a confluence band whose label identifies the two source timeframes and zone types when two same-direction zones overlap by a configurable amount.
This is a descriptive chart tool. It records what the source zones have done, how they overlap, and how price has interacted with them. It does not provide trade instructions, manage positions, or forecast an outcome.
────────── 1. Overview ──────────
The script has three related layers:
- Chart FVGs: three-candle fair-value gaps detected on the chart timeframe.
- Optional Order Blocks: the last opposite candle identified before a confirmed swing break.
- MTF Confluence: an overlap between source zones from Compare timeframe 1 and Compare timeframe 2.
By default, MTF confluence bands and labels showing their source timeframes and zone types are visible. Raw higher-timeframe source boxes are hidden by default and can be shown per timeframe with a choice of FVGs, Order Blocks, or both. Standalone chart FVG boxes and chart OB boxes are off by default; each appears when its respective Enable FVGs or Enable Order Blocks setting is turned on.
────────── 2. How FVGs are detected ──────────
A bullish chart FVG is recorded when the current confirmed bar's low is above the high from two bars earlier. A bearish FVG is the inverse. The Minimum gap filter removes gaps smaller than the selected ATR multiple or tick distance. The default filter is 0.05 ATR.
The same gap test is evaluated in each selected higher-timeframe context. Higher-timeframe events are admitted once per source origin time, which prevents the same source event from producing duplicate records on the chart.
────────── 3. FVG lifecycle ──────────
Each FVG keeps its original boundaries and tracks penetration using the selected Mitigation / fill rule:
- FRESH - price has not touched or entered the gap.
- TESTED - price has touched or entered the gap but has not reached its 50% midpoint.
- MITIGATED - price has reached the 50% midpoint but has not fully traversed the gap.
- FILLED - price has fully traversed the gap. Filled chart FVGs are removed unless Keep filled FVGs is enabled.
Wick mode uses the candle range for penetration and state changes. Close mode requires the candle close to reach the relevant boundary. The rule is applied consistently to chart FVGs, chart order blocks, and higher-timeframe FVG source zones. Higher-timeframe OB sources track penetration with the same FRESH → TESTED → MITIGATED lifecycle as chart OBs, so raw HTF OB labels show state and fill percentage. A higher-timeframe zone (FVG or OB) that is fully traversed becomes FILLED: it stays tracked internally, is hidden by default, can be revealed per timeframe with the Show 100% filled zones settings, and never feeds confluence.
A boundary touch counts as TESTED, while the fill percentage measures penetration through the original zone. A boundary-only test can therefore still display 0% Filled until price advances farther into the zone.
Shrink on partial fill changes only the displayed near edge of a chart FVG. The original boundaries and 50% midpoint remain available for fill measurement and lifecycle identity. Order Blocks have their own OB partial fill setting (off by default) that shrinks OB boxes the same way. Breaker blocks restart measurement from the near edge in the new direction.
The FVG Labels settings can show the percentage filled and, optionally, the FVG lifecycle state. Labels can be placed inside the box or to its right, with user-selected offset, size, and text color.
────────── 4. Order blocks ──────────
When enabled, the script confirms swing points using Swing strength and searches the configured OB candle lookback for the last opposite candle before a confirmed break. It records bullish and bearish blocks separately and limits the retained count per side.
OBs use the same Wick or Close interaction basis as FVGs. They can move from FRESH to TESTED and MITIGATED. If Show breakers is enabled, a block that is crossed changes direction and becomes a BREAKER with a new penetration measurement. If breakers are disabled, the crossed block is removed. When OB partial fill is enabled, OB boxes shrink their near edge inward as confirmed penetration advances, and breaker blocks restart measurement from the near edge in the new direction.
Chart OB detection, retention, and drawing are controlled together in the Order Blocks settings and are off by default.
────────── 5. MTF confluence ──────────
Confluence uses only the two selected comparison timeframes. The chart timeframe is not a confluence source. Both comparison timeframes must be strictly higher than the chart timeframe and must be different from each other. If either timeframe is invalid, or either source is disabled, the corresponding confluence path is not active.
The script compares source zones by:
1. Direction - bullish zones pair only with bullish zones, and bearish zones pair only with bearish zones.
2. Original geometry - qualification uses the original source boundaries, not a partially shrunk display edge.
3. Minimum overlap - the positive overlap must meet the configured threshold, measured as a multiple of the confirmed TF1 timeframe ATR and subject to a minimum tick. Using a fixed-timeframe ATR keeps band qualification stable when the chart timeframe changes.
4. Source details - a band retains both source origins, source timeframes, source types, and its own formation time.
The source HTF calculation uses shifted, completed higher-timeframe values and confirms pivot-based events before admission. This avoids using a developing higher-timeframe event, but it introduces confirmation delay. A source zone may therefore appear after the originating higher-timeframe movement rather than during it.
Raw HTF FVGs / OBs can be shown separately for inspection, with a per-timeframe choice of FVGs, Order Blocks, or both. The type selection is display-only; all raw zones still feed confluence. Each timeframe has its own raw partial fill setting (TF1 raw partial fill and TF2 raw partial fill) that shrinks the near edge of that timeframe's raw zone boxes (both FVGs and OBs) as penetration advances, and its own Show 100% filled zones setting (off by default) that keeps fully traversed raw zones visible. Raw HTF labels show state and fill percentage for all zone kinds. Confluence is FVG-only by default. If Include Order Blocks in confluence is enabled, same-direction FVG/OB, OB/FVG, and OB/OB overlaps can also qualify. Any band containing an OB is labeled STATIC because it does not have the pure FVG/FVG fill cycle.
────────── 6. Reading confluence bands ──────────
The band color describes overlap density, not a rating:
- One active overlap - the single-overlap color.
- Two active overlaps - the two-overlap color.
- Three or more active overlaps - the dense-overlap color.
Density counts active same-direction confluence records that share positive price overlap and are currently visible under the state and filled-band filters. Changing those visibility filters can therefore change a displayed band's density color. Density does not measure historical performance, reliability, or the future behavior of a level.
For pure FVG/FVG bands, Confluence partial fill can shrink the displayed band as confirmed penetration advances. Confluence fill % label reports penetration through the original overlap. The fill percentage is descriptive and is not a forecast.
Confluence labels can show:
- Source timeframes and source types.
- The number of overlapping active bands.
- Fill percentage for pure FVG/FVG bands on its own label line.
- FRESH, TESTED, PARTIAL, FILLED, or STATIC state, shown together with age on one horizontal metadata line.
- Age in chart bars or HH:MM:SS.
- Visits and breaks in the tooltip.
Fresh, Tested, Partial, and Filled visibility can be controlled independently. Filled confluence bands are hidden by default. Nearby labels are grouped onto a shared horizontal row and spaced by a configurable number of chart bars; this changes label placement only and does not change the bands.
────────── 7. Alerts ──────────
The script exposes two confirmed-bar alert conditions for chart-timeframe detections:
- FVG formed - a new confirmed chart-timeframe FVG.
- Order Block formed - a new confirmed chart-timeframe order block.
There are no built-in alerts for confluence formation, fills, mitigation, state changes, or position management. You can create PulseWire alerts from the two available conditions.
────────── 8. Settings and defaults ──────────
FVG Drawings controls chart FVG detection, drawing, per-side retention, Wick or Close measurement, ATR or tick filtering, partial display shrink, filled-zone retention, lifecycle display, and bullish/bearish colors.
FVG Labels controls fill percentage, position, right-side offset, text size, and label color.
Order Blocks controls OB detection, drawing, per-side retention, swing strength, candle lookback, breaker behavior, partial fill, and colors.
MTF Confluence controls the MTF master enable, the two comparison timeframes, source inclusion, raw HTF visibility, and — independently per timeframe — raw zone types (FVGs, Order Blocks, or both), raw partial fill, filled-zone visibility, and source color. It also controls HTF retention, HTF lookback days, and raw labels. The default comparison pair is 30 minutes and 60 minutes.
Confluence Evidence controls partial fill, fill labels, OB-containing overlap inclusion, minimum overlap, maximum retained bands, source-detail labels, filled-band visibility, overlap colors, state and age display, label collision spacing, age format, and state filters.
Visuals controls the confluence label size.
────────── 9. How to use ──────────
1. Start on a time-based chart timeframe below both comparison timeframes. The default 30-minute and 60-minute pair is intended to be used from a lower chart timeframe such as 15 minutes.
2. Leave both comparison source checkboxes enabled when you want TF1 × TF2 confluence. Selecting the same comparison timeframe twice does not create a valid pair.
3. Use the default FVG-only mode when you want all bands to have the FVG lifecycle and fill measurement. Enable OB inclusion only when STATIC FVG/OB, OB/FVG, or OB/OB overlap evidence is useful to your analysis.
4. Use Wick or Close consistently with how you want penetration measured. Close mode ignores wick-only penetration for state and fill progression.
5. Turn on raw HTF zones, or enable chart FVGs/OBs in their own settings sections, only when you need to inspect those layers. They are intentionally hidden in the default chart view.
6. Use the state, age, fill, density, and source details to understand what produced a band and how price has interacted with it. Do not treat color density as a score.
────────── 10. What this script does not do ──────────
- It is not a strategy and does not provide backtests, win rates, performance statistics, or position sizing.
- It does not place orders, manage risk, or generate trade instructions.
- It does not use the chart timeframe as a confluence source.
- It does not create confluence from opposite-direction zones.
- It does not guarantee that every historical FVG or OB remains visible. Source retention, HTF lookback, state filters, filled-band visibility, and PulseWire drawing limits can remove or hide records.
- It does not eliminate higher-timeframe confirmation delay. A valid setting can show no band when no recent confirmed source pair qualifies.
- It does not claim that every chart, symbol, session, or timeframe will produce the same number of zones. ATR, tick size, available history, market hours, and price behavior affect detection.
────────── 11. Limitations and developing values ──────────
Lifecycle mutations, HTF source admission, confluence identity, fill measurement, and state changes are gated on confirmed bars. Boxes and labels are redrawn on the last chart bar so their right edge, text, colors, and collision layout reflect the current view. This means the display can update while the underlying lifecycle remains confirmation-gated.
Changing the chart timeframe or either comparison timeframe clears the prior MTF context and rebuilds it from confirmed source history. The selected comparison timeframes must be higher than the new chart timeframe. If the new context has no retained qualifying source pair, the confluence view can be empty until confirmed source events are available. Band qualification uses the confirmed TF1 timeframe ATR, so the same source pairs qualify regardless of the chart timeframe. In the Wick basis, fill percentages and lifecycle states are chart-timeframe independent; in the Close basis, penetration follows chart-bar closes, so fill percentages and states can legitimately differ between chart timeframes.
The script is capped by PulseWire drawing limits and by its own retention settings. Chart and higher-timeframe zone arrays prune older records according to their configured limits. The confluence maximum is a retained-record capacity: when a new qualifying pair arrives beyond the cap, the oldest record is removed first. A crowded chart can therefore show fewer drawings than the underlying detection logic considered. Higher-timeframe records are also limited by the HTF lookback-days and max-zones-per-HTF/type settings.
The implementation is confirmation-gated, but this description does not make an absolute non-repainting claim. Verify the current publication on PulseWire with the intended symbols, timeframes, input changes, reload behavior, and Bar Replay before relying on its historical appearance.
────────── 12. Originality ──────────
FVGs, order blocks, pivots, ATR filters, and multi-timeframe analysis are established market-analysis concepts. The implementation focus here is showing which two source zones created each overlap and tracking its lifecycle: each confluence band preserves the source records that formed it, keeps immutable original overlap geometry, separates display-only partial fill from band identity, and exposes state, age, fill, visit, break, source, and overlap-density information instead of hiding them inside an unexplained composite value.
The source is open for inspection under the MPL 2.0 license. The calculations and visual labels are intended to be read as a record of price interaction, not as a promise about what happens next.

Smart Money Confluence Suite [EQH/EQL, OB/FVG, Sweeps]Smart Money Confluence Suite combines four complementary structure- and liquidity-based concepts into a single multi-timeframe overlay, built for traders who use price structure and liquidity zones as confluence rather than relying on a single signal type.
1. Equal Highs / Equal Lows (EQH/EQL) — multi-timeframe The script requests 4H and Daily price data independently of the chart's timeframe using request.security(), and compares each new high/low to the prior one within a configurable tolerance (default 0.08%). When two highs (or lows) fall within that tolerance, the script plots a level and label marking the equal-high/equal-low zone. These zones commonly represent areas of resting stop-loss liquidity above/below range extremes. Levels are automatically removed once price trades through them (mitigation), so only unmitigated, still-relevant levels remain on the chart.
2. Fair Value Gaps (FVG) A Fair Value Gap is identified using the classic 3-candle imbalance definition: when the low of the current candle is higher than the high of the candle two bars back (bullish), or the high of the current candle is lower than the low of the candle two bars back (bearish), the script draws a box marking that gap. These zones often act as areas price returns to "rebalance" before continuing in the direction of the original move.
3. Order Blocks (OB) The script flags the last opposite-colored candle immediately preceding a directional break: a bearish candle followed by a bullish candle that closes above the bearish candle's high (bullish OB), or the inverse for bearish OB. These are treated as candidate zones of institutional order flow. Each order block box automatically extends forward and is deleted once price closes through it, so only active, unmitigated blocks are shown.
4. Liquidity Sweeps Using ta.pivothigh()/ta.pivotlow() with a user-configurable swing strength, the script tracks the most recent unbroken swing high/low. A sweep is flagged (and the candle is colored) when price wicks beyond that swing point intrabar but closes back inside the prior range — a common signature of stop-hunt / liquidity-grab behavior before a reversal or continuation move.
How to use it: All four modules can be toggled independently from the settings panel, along with colors, line width, EQ tolerance, and swing sensitivity. The script is designed as a visual confluence layer — combine EQH/EQL levels, FVGs, order blocks, and sweep signals with your own directional bias (e.g., trend, VWAP, or market structure) rather than trading any single element in isolation. It works on any symbol and timeframe, and was primarily tested on futures and index instruments (Russell 2000, Nasdaq, ES/MES/MNQ).
Originality note: this script's contribution is combining independently-calculated multi-timeframe EQH/EQL detection, 3-candle FVG imbalance, break-of-structure order block identification, and pivot-based liquidity sweep detection into one coordinated, auto-mitigating toolkit — rather than publishing each concept as a separate script.

FVG Sweep Magnet Engine [PhenLabs]📊 FVG Sweep Magnet Engine
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The FVG Sweep Magnet Engine turns displacement-born Fair Value Gaps into scored magnetic targets that only arm after a real liquidity sweep. Instead of treating every imbalance as tradeable, FSME waits for buy-side or sell-side liquidity to be raided, then confirms when price is pulled back into a high-quality FVG.
This solves the two biggest failure modes retail ICT tools create: trading empty gaps with no context, and chasing sweeps that never reclaim structure. Neon multi-layer magnet beams, graded gap boxes, and a live regime dashboard make the confluence readable in one glance — built for dark-chart screenshots and fast decision-making on futures, indices, FX, and crypto.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Displacement-validated FVG detection filters out micro-noise gaps that never attract price
Liquidity sweep gate (BSL/SSL raid + rejection) must print before any magnet signal arms
0–10 quality score blends gap size, displacement strength, freshness, and volume impulse
Clean visual hierarchy: soft FVG zones + single CE midline by default; neon only on MAG
Partial-fill fade and full mitigation cleanup keep the chart honest as gaps get consumed
Live FSME dashboard tracks bias, live gaps, best score, sweep state, and last signal
🔧 Core Components
Displacement FVG Engine: Detects classic 3-candle bullish/bearish imbalances only when the middle candle body clears an ATR displacement threshold and the gap clears a minimum ATR size filter
Liquidity Rail Tracker: Maintains confirmed swing BSL/SSL pools as dotted rails and classifies wick-rejection raids that reclaim the level
Magnet Confluence Gate: Arms a signal only when a fresh sweep window overlaps a live scored FVG that price re-enters with directional close confirmation
Target Projector: Extends dotted neon target rays from the FVG midline by ATR multiple after a magnet print
Regime Dashboard: Compact top-right table summarizing bull/bear FVG count, best score, sweep state, last signal, nearest magnet mid, and ATR
🔥 Key Features
Non-repaint pivot liquidity and confirmed-bar FVG logic suitable for alerts and live trading
Configurable displacement, gap size, magnet window, min score, and target extension
Bull cyan / bear magenta neon palette with independent fill, border, rail, and beam colors
Optional faded mitigated FVGs for study mode, or hard-delete cleanup for clean charts
Alertconditions for bull/bear magnets, BSL/SSL sweeps, and new displacement FVGs
Works as a standalone SMC overlay or confluence layer on top of session/order-block tools
🎨 Visualization
FVG zones: Soft teal/red translucent boxes (high transparency so candles stay readable) with score on the right edge
CE midline: Single thin dashed line at the gap center — no permanent multi-layer beam cage
Neon on MAG only: Triple glow beam + TP ray appear only when a magnet signal arms
MAG labels: Clear ▲ MAG / ▼ MAG tags offset above/below the bar (not stacked on wicks)
Optional extras (off by default): liquidity rails and sweep diamonds for power users
Signal highlight: Soft bar tint only on confirmed MAG bars
Dashboard: Compact 6-row panel — Bias, Live Gaps, Best Score, Sweep, Last Signal
📖 Usage Guidelines
Max Active FVGs — Default: 10 — Range: 2-40 — Keep low for a clean chart
Displacement ATR Mult — Default: 1.25 — Range: 0.3-5.0 — Raise on noisy lower TFs
Min Gap Size (ATR) — Default: 0.25 — Range: 0.05-3.0 — Higher = fewer, cleaner zones
Require Displacement Candle — Default: true — Keep on for quality
Max FVG Age (bars) — Default: 60 — Range: 10-300 — Expires stale magnets
Magnet Window — Default: 18 — Range: 3-80 — Bars after a sweep for FVG entry confirm
Min Score for Signal — Default: 5 — Range: 0-10 — Raise to 7+ for selective setups
Show FVG Midline (CE) — Default: true — Single dashed CE line per zone
Neon Beam Only on MAG — Default: true — Neon appears only on confirmed signals
Show Liquidity Rails — Default: false — Optional; off keeps chart readable
Show Sweep Diamonds — Default: false — Optional; off by default to reduce noise
✅ Best Use Cases
ICT/SMC traders waiting for liquidity raids into unfilled FVGs instead of blind gap fades
Intraday index and futures traders (ES, NQ, YM) on 1m–15m seeking clean reversal confluence
FX and crypto traders mapping displacement legs during London/NY expansion
Prop-style discretionary traders who want scored setups with explicit invalidation (full gap fill)
Content creators capturing high-contrast neon dark-chart screenshots for PulseWire publish art
⚠️ Limitations
FVG detection is geometric (3-candle imbalance) and does not use true order-book data
Sweep logic uses confirmed swing pivots, so very fresh local highs/lows need pivot length bars to register
High-volatility news spikes can create large displacement gaps that score well but fail if context is one-way trend
Neon beams and boxes are object-limited; extreme settings (max FVGs + long age) can hit PulseWire object caps
This is a confluence overlay, not a complete strategy — always pair with risk rules and higher-timeframe bias
💡 What Makes This Unique
Sweep-gated magnets: FVGs stay passive until liquidity is actually raided — reverse of “every gap is a signal” tools
Scored gaps: Traders see why a zone matters (size, displacement, age, volume) instead of binary boxes
Signal-first visuals: zones stay quiet until confluence arms — neon and TP only on MAG
PhenLabs DNA: Liquidity + engine naming + dashboard, fused with this week’s dominant FVG/ICT community demand
🔬 How It Works
Displacement scan: On each bar the engine checks for a 3-candle bullish or bearish FVG, requires the middle candle body to clear ATR × displacement mult, and rejects gaps smaller than ATR × min gap size
Score + draw: Qualifying gaps receive a 0–10 score and are rendered as translucent boxes with a three-layer neon midline beam and optional score label
Liquidity map: Confirmed pivot highs/lows become BSL/SSL rails; a sweep prints when price raids the level with sufficient wick and closes back through it
Magnet arming: For a limited bar window after the sweep, if price re-enters a live same-direction FVG that clears the min score and closes in the reclaim direction, a MAG signal fires
Projection + lifecycle: Dotted ATR targets extend from the magnet mid; partial fills fade the box, full fills or max age invalidate the gap and clean objects unless faded mode is enabled
💡 Note:
Use FSME as a visual decision-support layer for liquidity-to-imbalance workflows. Confirm higher-timeframe bias, define risk beyond the opposite side of the FVG or swept pool, and never treat magnet markers as guaranteed entries.

CHoCH SetupCHoCH Setup is a comprehensive multi-timeframe analysis tool designed to identify structural shifts, validate them with volume and momentum, and highlight high-probability Fair Value Gap (FVG) entries.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Alignment: Evaluates a Higher Timeframe (HTF) directional bias to ensure your current timeframe trades align with the macro trend.
Volume Point of Control (POC): Dynamically calculates the high-volume node of recent periods. Breaks through the POC indicate strength.
BLVL (Break Level) CHoCH & BOS: Identifies structural market shifts. A CHoCH (Change of Character) triggers the drawing of the main setup box.
Volume Profile Inside CHoCH Box: Visualizes the volume intensity directly within the CHoCH box to validate the momentum of the breakout.
RSI Tracking Polyline: Tracks the RSI behavior historically to identify if the setup occurred in overbought/oversold conditions or if there is momentum divergence.
FVG Engine: Highlights bullish and bearish Fair Value Gaps. It can optionally filter for "bounces" or mitigations where price taps into the FVG after a structural break.
CHoCH Fibonacci Zones & Targets: Automatically plots a Buy/Sell mitigation zone (0.382 - 0.618) and extended target levels (1.47, 1.55, 2.56, 2.6, 2.68) for taking profit.
HUD Dashboard: Provides a real-time summary of the HTF Bias, Current TF Bias, POC Trap State, and the strength of the current CHoCH.
🎯 Identifying an "A+ Setup"
An A+ setup occurs when multiple confluences align simultaneously. Look for the following conditions on your dashboard and chart:
Timeframe Alignment: Both HTF Bias and Current TF Bias are pointing in the same direction.
Strong CHoCH Signal: A CHoCH break happens in the direction of the HTF Bias, backed by above-average volume (indicated by thick volume columns inside the CHoCH box).
POC Confirmation: Price breaks and holds beyond the POC level, avoiding a "Trap" state (e.g., a "Strong Bullish" state on the dashboard).
FVG Creation: The impulse move that caused the CHoCH leaves behind a Fair Value Gap.
Entry Execution: Price pulls back into the CHoCH Fibo Zone (0.382 - 0.618) and taps the FVG. This is the optimal entry zone targeting the extended Fibo levels (1.47+).
🔔 Alerts
The script includes built-in alert conditions tailored for this setup:
Bullish CHoCH Direction FVG Formed!: Triggers when a new bullish FVG forms immediately following a Bullish CHoCH.
Bearish CHoCH Direction FVG Formed!: Triggers when a new bearish FVG forms immediately following a Bearish CHoCH.
(To set these up: Create an alert on PulseWire, select the indicator, and choose "Any alert() function call".)

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.
